When the Great Dao Dies, I Remain; When Spiritual Energy Withers, I Endure

Overnight, the flood submerged more than a dozen counties and cities below Longcheng.

One wave after another was piled up.

Zhou Wen and Wang Shui, who studied water theory in depth, had been followers in their early years, following the adults to some flood-prone areas and conducted on-site exploration.

Floods are unpredictable.

But there must always be a limit.

This unpredictable flood gave them a blow.

Never seen it, never heard of it.

They looked back at Longcheng behind them.

There was a hint of sadness in their hearts.

It was actually too late to retreat at this time.

However, we couldn't just sit and wait for death.

Wang Shui galloped and took the old, weak, women and children in the city to retreat to higher ground.

Zhou Wen summoned all the manpower to build a flood prevention line.

…

Zuoqiuye and the other four went through all kinds of difficulties, and with mutual cooperation, they passed one Xuanwu test after another.

"It was a close call. If it weren't for my recent breakthrough in internal strength, I'm afraid I wouldn't have passed the level just now."

Zuoqiuye was still in shock.

Even though he had been in the martial arts world for many years, he was still sweating for what he had just experienced.

The four of them walked forward and finally stopped in front of a stone door.

The ancient door was four inches thick and had a mottled surface.

There were a few big words written on it: "Push this door with your internal force and you will inherit my legacy!"

Zuo Qiuye and the others looked at each other and nodded at the same time, half-crouching and pressing down with their internal force.

Then, a low shout came.

The four of them pressed their eight palms against the stone door together, and their clothes moved without wind.

The four of them had blood surging, their veins were exposed, and their faces were red.

The stone door was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and it would take at least a dozen ordinary adult men to push it.

The four of them had strong internal force, and after a few minutes of stalemate, the stone door actually moved half an inch!

It can be seen how strong their internal force was.

In the dark, Li Changxiao watched this scene and nodded secretly, "Internal force cannot be seen or touched, but it does exist."

"In this era of spiritual energy depletion, even practitioners are probably unwilling to provoke masters in the world."

"Otherwise, if they are forced to use their cultivation, it will be a big loss."

Talking time.

Zuoqiuye and the other four were exhausted, so they sat down and panted to rest.

"This stone door is too heavy. I don't know how long it will take for the four of us to push it."

The young man dressed as a scholar said.

"Then why are you talking so much nonsense? The Xuanwu secret is in front of us. Even if it is a mountain, I will shovel it for you!" said the old iron of Kaishan Sect.

Zuoqiuye unscrewed the kettle, took a few big gulps, and sat cross-legged on the spot to restore his internal force.

Half an hour later, the four of them used their internal force again to push the stone door.

…

"I never thought that a small prefect of Longcheng would be so courageous."

In a courtyard in the inner city of Lingtian City, a woman sat in a rocking chair, hugged a heater, and watched the falling snow in the courtyard.

She said lightly.

"Your Highness, you want to..." said the maid in white beside him.

"This is a fierce horse." Li Tianxia shook her head. "My brother went to Longcheng with the intention of recruiting this person."

"Unfortunately, the result is obvious, and he failed."

"This person is stubborn... It can't be said that he is stubborn. He has flattered and said auspicious words, but he just refuses to establish a common interest relationship."

The maid in white said: "Your Highness thinks... that Huang Zhifu is not optimistic about Li Tianlei, so he is reluctant to submit to him?"

Li Tianxia shook her head and nodded, "Yes and no."

"A local official who dares to come to Lingtian City and die to make a protest, I am afraid that ordinary things will not be able to subdue him."

"And... he may not survive this natural disaster, so there is no need to invest in this person."

Li Tianxia tapped the armrest with her slender fingers.

The maid rocked the rocking chair gently.

Two days ago, Huang Tingsheng was in the limelight in the court.

I will die to give advice, just for the Dragon City that will be hit by the flood, and ask for the Dragon Sword on the temple!

A crisp knocking sound was heard.

Li Tianxia suddenly opened her eyes, as if she thought of something, and asked softly: "By the way, I found some small objects recently, which are quite interesting."

"In the past, when the spiritual energy was prosperous, I didn't pay attention to it. Now that the spiritual energy is exhausted, even if we have cultivation, we can't use it indiscriminately. We need to eat, dress and live like ordinary people."

"For example, the silver mirror, soap cream... and other small objects have brought great convenience in daily life. I remember that these objects didn't seem to exist when I was a child?"

"Who invented them? If they are still alive, they can..."

Li Tianxia's eyes flickered slightly.

Now that His Majesty has delegated power, she plans to show her skills. If these objects are popularized throughout the world, they can make a lot of money.

The maid in white said, "Your Highness, you have seen this person before.

Do you remember His Highness Li Changxiao?"

Li Tianxia was stunned, "Could it be him?"

She frowned. She had seen Li Changxiao in her childhood. Strictly speaking, he was her cousin.

But their identities were very different, so they didn't have much contact.

"Yes." The maid in white said.

...

Zhou Wen was ordering people to build a flood control line.

Suddenly, the soles of his feet were wet. He looked down and his heart sank instantly.

I saw that the water line had reached his ankles without knowing when!

And it was still rising rapidly.

At this rate, it might not be long before Longcheng would become a water city.

"Quick!"

"Hurry up!"

Zhou Wen didn't care about anything else. He picked up the cloth bags filled with sand and stones and piled them on the flood control line.

At the same time.

Wang Shui, who was in charge of the evacuation, also realized that such a blind evacuation would only lead to death.

He leaned down, scooped up the water that covered his ankles, and licked it on his tongue.

His expression instantly turned pale.

Salty.

Very salty.

This proved that the water was seawater, and the flood was about to reach Longcheng.

He was quick-witted and fixed his eyes on several high towers in Longcheng.

"Quick, follow me to the tower!"

He roared and led the vast crowd of people to the tower.

Every step was on the icy cold sea water.

There are four high towers in Longcheng, which are specially used to store scriptures, but in the face of a disaster, everything is false.

Soon, the four towers were filled, but there were still many women, children and children who had not climbed the tower.

The water line was rising almost to the children's waist.

Wang Shui made a bold decision.

Throw away the Buddhist beads and scriptures, and let as many people as possible climb the tower!

"Boom!"

Just then.

A loud noise came from the South Gate.

A huge wave hit the flood control line.

Fortunately, it was over.

"Quick! Get on the tower!" Wang Shui came to his senses and shouted, "Women and children go first!"

"Boom..."

Another huge wave hit.

The flood control line was shaking, and the cloth bags filled with sand and stones were slightly unstable.

Following that, another huge wave came.

This huge wave was a hundred feet high!

With a whoosh, even the flood control line was swallowed up!

"Brother Zhou!" Wang Shui's pupils were about to burst.

The surging sea water rushed into Longcheng, and in an instant, many houses collapsed.

Some people who couldn't squeeze into the pagoda were washed away in an instant.

Lives and works were destroyed.
