Chapter 390 Transformation into a Dragon
Pingjin Ferry is different from Tianjing. Although it is the place where three rivers meet, the lineage of Taixu Huanzhu has no intention of creating another Pingjin Ferry in their dreams.
Shintoism did have plans to revive the gods of the Huai River and the Qi River, but like countless backup plans, they were shelved for dozens or even hundreds of years. After all, two second-rank gods could cause some damage, but they could not change the situation in the world.
On the contrary, it was because the situation in the world had changed and countless causal lines had been pushed to Pingjindu that the Taixuhuan Lord decided to activate this plan. They learned that the small dragon vein was no earlier than Zhou Tieyi, but a little later. Zhou Tieyi continued to catalyze the small dragon vein, forcing the Taixuhuan Lord to act quickly and try to revive the two gods with the help of the right time and place.
If Taixu Huanzhu's lineage had planned it all by themselves, they should at least have waited until Huan Priest recovered from the injuries he suffered in Tianjing last time before taking action. Half of the Divine Court was shattered, and even with the power of the Netherworld, it was an extremely serious injury, which would at least prevent Huan Priest from taking action personally for a few months, or even a year or two.
Otherwise, he would most likely face another joint siege by the chief lecturer of Nanda Temple and the Heavenly Master of Xuandu Mountain. Being seriously injured and still having to fight, he would definitely not be able to escape as easily as last time.
The illusory world of Taixu could not completely descend upon Pingjindu, but it pulled the Pingjindu government office into the dream world, causing the people inside to be completely lost. In the end, even if they escaped, they could not prevent the disaster in Pingjindu.
"I am good at cultivating my awe-inspiring spirit."
The majestic and heavy sound is like the ringing of an ancient bell in a temple.
"I am good at cultivating my awe-inspiring spirit."
In another direction of Pingjindu, Lu Shanqing, the president of Lulin Academy, also said loudly.
Knowing that the evil spirit was lurking in secret, it was certainly impossible for all of them to gather in one obvious place in the county government office. Wouldn't that give others an opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop?
"I am good at cultivating my awe-inspiring spirit."
In another direction, Yao Qin, the dean of Huxin Academy, said loudly.
The three calls of "I am good at nurturing my great and righteous spirit" were like three white rainbows, rising straight into the sky in the night, and could be seen and heard for dozens of miles around, forming a huge equilateral triangle, covering the entire Pingjindu. In this equilateral triangle, the sound of "I am good at nurturing my great and righteous spirit" kept echoing.
The first to be affected were the people who were sleeping soundly. They woke up from their dreams and heard the voice of "I am good at nurturing my great spirit" echoing in their ears. Before they could come to their senses, Lu Qingshan used this magnificent voice to say, "All the people, led by the village head and the officials of the God-Slaying Department, evacuate to higher places. Don't make any mistakes!"
His voice was authoritative and carried an unquestionable attitude.
At this time, the benefits of Confucianism's prestige among the grassroots people were reflected. Originally, Confucianism was a symbol of "justice" and "inviolability" in the hearts of ordinary people. At this time, only a little external guidance was needed, and 200,000 or 300,000 people quickly made up their minds and organized an evacuation operation.
At this time, the local officials in Pingjin Ferry, who had been on high alert for battle, also took quick action and began to guide the evacuation direction. Lights were lit one after another, and the people slowly gathered into hundreds of households, like bonfires burning up the night.
Above the Pingjindu County Government Office, three streams of righteous aura interacted with each other, while the other two were outside the mirage. They acted like wedges, fixing the Pingjindu County Government Office in reality and preventing it from being easily dragged away by the mirage.
As long as the Pingjindu County Government Office is not lost, the people will not panic. If the people do not panic, the disaster can be controlled. On this point, the capabilities of both Confucianism and the God-Slaying Department are unquestionable.
Of course, Shinto will not give up easily.
The reason why Shinto took action was naturally because there was a chance of success, because the right time and place were really on their side at the moment.
Two agile dragons, one was a dark black dragon whose scales were dull even under the moonlight, and the other was a crimson dragon with flames flowing around it forming clouds. Their huge bodies stretched out for dozens of feet and flew straight into Pingjindu from the cracked entrance of the dream, emitting loud dragon roars. While disturbing the voice of the great scholar, they had no intention of getting entangled with the other people from the County Government's God-Slaying Department, and flew directly into the sky thousands of feet above, into the thick clouds. Behind them, the Chi dragons and Shen dragons were like tigers out of the cage, flying into the clouds with loud dragon roars.
The wind follows the tiger, and the cloud follows the dragon.
In an instant, the already thick clouds began to boil amid the dragon roars, like a cluster of flames thrown into a hot oil pan.
Within a dozen breaths, convection formed between the stirred dark clouds and the ground, and strong winds descended from the sky. Above Pingjin Ferry, the huge clouds of dozens of miles turned into a mad dragon in an instant, carrying the gods' resentment towards the world, and roared like thunder. The heavy rain was like sharp rain cones, piercing the ground from the sky.
For a moment, thousands of lights swayed in the wind and rain, and the river was surging. The already high water level made the entire Pingjin Ferry look like a porcelain bottle filled with water, exquisite yet fragile.
Lu Shanqing had a stern look on his face. Two third-grade dragons were definitely not all the power that Shinto had prepared. But with the help of God at this moment, even a third-grade dragon would be very difficult to deal with.
Because above the clouds is the territory of dragons. If an ordinary third-grade warrior goes up there, let alone whether he can defeat the mad dragon, the opponent will not be willing to fight with you directly. They just need to keep running in the clouds. You chasing from behind will only promote the changes in the clouds and rain, causing rain to continuously fall from the clouds. This is the law of nature. Even a second-grade warrior cannot reverse the landing of a huge cloud covering dozens of miles and containing hundreds of thousands of tons of water vapor.
What's even more terrible is that these two third-grade dragons and their numerous descendants not only want to make it rain in Pingjindu, they also continue to accumulate clouds from farther away, trying to make the rain here more violent than ever before.
And this was just the beginning. The weather changed again. The river water surged, rolling up the mud and sand at the river bottom, and turned into a mighty and unstoppable yellow dragon, moving across the land.
In the underground river, the lurking and curled up dragon veins could no longer suppress the urge to run away. The dark vortex at the bottom of the river suddenly swelled up, first swallowing up the surrounding rock walls of dozens of feet, and sucked the precious mother clams into the dragon's cave. The shells of the mother clams opened, revealing the precious Dongzhu that had not yet been fully nurtured.
The brilliance of Dongzhu lit up for a moment in the dark lake water, and the national destiny flashed with colorful brilliance, trying to stabilize the undercurrent, but was quickly wrapped up by the undercurrent and swept into the darkness. In the turbulent water, there was a crunching sound of teeth gnawing on bones.
The colorful glory of the national destiny was completely annihilated in the darkness, and in the darkness, two yellow lanterns illuminated the water hole. The dragon body slowly pulled out of the dragon cave, affecting the changes in the terrain behind it.
In an instant, the originally stable ground veins of the entire Pingjindu began to become restless, just like when the king cobra left the snake group, it also foreshadowed that the entire snake group fell into chaos and disorder, fleeing in all directions until a new balance point was formed.
Because Pingjindu is the confluence of three rivers, its shipping industry is developed and its people are wealthy. Willow trees are swaying on both sides of the streets, and wine is fluttering in the wind. But at this time, the ground is cracked and the underground river is tearing it apart. Near the river bank, the exquisite two- or three-story houses are swallowed up by the river water carrying tens of thousands of tons of mud and sand in just a moment, as if there are dozens of surging dragons lurking under the entire ground.
The people who had already woken up held flickering candles and screamed in fear. The village head and the small flag officers of the God-Slaying Division in the crowd roared at the top of their lungs to awaken the people who had lost their sanity in panic, allowing them to evacuate to higher ground as originally planned.
"Determine the pulse!" At Pingjin Ferry, there are nodes of the earth veins. The hundred households hiding in the dark of the God-Slaying Division, together with their small flags and the main flag, form huge clouds of energy and blood. These clouds of energy and blood spread out for more than ten acres, and in the center of them are huge towering ancient trees.
Each ancient tree is a complete and special piece of wood steel. This kind of wood steel can only be owned by the royal family of Daxia. If other families own it, it is a capital crime to kill three generations of their clan.
Because the function of this kind of wood steel is to stabilize the changes in the earth veins at critical moments. Of course, this causes great damage to the earth's energy. Each piece of wood steel requires a cultivation cycle of several decades, which is extremely costly. Even the God-Slaying Division does not often use it.
There were a total of seven ten-zhang long and two-zhang thick wooden steel bars shining with golden light. Under the impact of the huge cloud of qi and blood, they were nailed into the key nodes one by one.
Looking from the sky above Pingjin Ferry, it looked like there was a huge spoon connected in a line, fixing the entire ground vein.
In an instant, the violent, surging power of the earth veins underground was suppressed, and in the undercurrent at the bottom of the lake, the voice of the dragon that originally made a rampant dragon roar became weaker.
These hundreds of breaths of change were enough for the giant mountain ape Yuantong, who was the first to discover the location of the dragon's lair, to arrive.
Above the county government office, three third-rank Confucian scholars were in a stalemate with the mirage. He molded a fake clay body on the spot, and his real body sneaked in along the earth veins. As long as he could stabilize the dragon veins and prevent it from having the idea of turning into a dragon, then today's crisis would be mostly resolved.
Others may not have a way to stop the dragon vein, but he does.
In the dark vortex in front of the dragon vein.
A pair of furry hands with unparalleled strength tore apart the undercurrents. The mountain giant ape Yuantong's golden eyes locked onto the two lantern-like dragon pupils in the dark undercurrents and opened his mouth.
"Get back!"
In an instant, the water within ten feet around Yuantong was drained out in an instant. The roar completely suppressed the wailing of the dragon vein. The power of the surrounding earth veins began to pull over, and the dark yellow color was like a river. The rocks flowing through it increased sharply, and the pieces quickly hardened, squeezing the location of the water source in the dark river to form a dry cave, blocking the dragon vein from taking shape. The surrounding geographical structure rose in an incomprehensible way, gradually forming a dragon's cave.
Once the dragon's lair is formed, the dragon vein will be transformed into the state of dragon energy again and will not turn into a dragon and escape into water. This is the power of Yuantong.
But just as he changed the terrain and forced back the dragon vein, a cold voice rang out, "Too late!"
The next moment, a mad dragon burst out, and the torrent crushed the rocks.
The ferocious dragon beast rushed out of the dragon's cave, which made Yuan Tong's expression stiff. According to his understanding of the dragon veins, the situation should not become so sudden and uncontrollable.
But when he saw the dragon's head clearly, his eyes were filled with rage, "Evil God!"
The smooth antlers extend along the lion-like mane, two meters wide, enough to stand firmly on the dragon's forehead. A golden body of a god stands there, surrounded by powerful auras, and his lower body is completely integrated with the dragon veins.
"Dragon-like Golden Body Technique, I understand, I understand it all!"
Baili looked crazy, without the wisdom of the past. Half of his face was completely covered by a pale mask, and the remaining half was filled with a blue glow.
The most important thing for a dragon vein to transform into a dragon is to have "spirituality", and the best spirituality is that of a human being, so Shinto can use human sacrifice to awaken the dragon vein and transform it into a dragon.
However, this method is too easy to be exposed, and the death of dozens of people cannot have a significant impact on the dragon veins transforming into dragons. Baili has always been timid and cautious, until he got another method [The Dragon-like Golden Body Shaping Method]!
The water god has acquired the appearance of a dragon, and can be promoted to heaven and call the wind and rain!
Zhou Tieyi also practiced this method, but he practiced it according to the orthodox method of shaping the dragon-shaped golden body. In the wild world, he had an entire Xishan mountain range and a large water source extending from the Xishan mountain. These were all natural unowned lands that he could use as he pleased. Coupled with the luck of the Yanhuang tribe, he was able to complete the three phases of water dragon, mountain dragon and human dragon.
After completing the cultivation, just as Zhou Tieyi had understood before, this was just a pendant, used to do things that the golden body was not suitable for. Moreover, due to the lack of the appearance of a heavenly dragon, it was considered to be a trap left by others, so Zhou Tieyi did not continue to practice.
But what he did not deduce was that there is a wrong way of practicing, that is, if the practice fails, what changes will happen to the person when he is controlled by the dragon aspect.
Under normal circumstances, if Baili had obtained a golden body with the appearance of a dragon and was given a few years or even decades to slowly practice and enlighten his spirit, he would naturally be able to control the dragon veins.
But this is not a normal situation. He was disturbed by the Taixu Illusionary Surface and forcibly merged with the dragon vein. In turn, he was merged by the dragon vein and turned into a dragon. In an instant, he absorbed a fourth-grade god that was close to the third-grade. It was almost equivalent to enjoying the blood sacrifice of thousands of people. The dragon vein gained spirit and instantly changed its shape and broke free.
At that moment, there was a connection between heaven and man. The wind and rain became more severe, and the dragons roared.
However, clouds and rain are the right time, but now it is September 15th, and the bright moon which is in a full moon state is also the right time, and it is a greater right time!
Above Panyang Lake, Zhou Tieyi looked towards Pingjin Ferry a few miles away, towards the dark place covered by clouds and rain, and said calmly to his mind connected with the eight cloud wheels, "There must be a moon."
Mingyue, who had already completely sunk into the dream world and had integrated the dreams of a large number of people in the Mechanical City, was pulled in. In the dream world, which has no concept of distance, eight hundred miles is just a breath.
Above the county government office, terrified voices came from the cracks in the dream, "Close the entrance quickly!"
Naturally, Tian's father would not agree with what the enemy wanted to do. His mind was always closely following the Mingyue System. When the Mingyue System traveled through the dream and came to Pingjin Ferry, he also noticed the changes eight hundred miles away. He did not do much, just raised his glasses.
