When Xu Huaigu walked to the door of Chen's mansion, he happened to meet Huicheng who was anxiously looking for someone. When she saw Xu Huaigu, she quickly shouted: "Xu Songtu, I'm looking for you! Xiejiangyan is about to collapse, and Hemen City is going to be flooded. Let's go back to the mountain together! The terrain on the mountain is high, and the water is No matter how high it is, it shouldn't be able to flood the mountain!" Xu Huaigu stopped, looked back at Huicheng, and said, "You go, I won't go back with you." Huicheng said hurriedly: "You have to go Where?" Xu Huaigu replied: "Go back to where I should go. I am not from the temple in the first place. I have lived in the temple for more than half a year, and it is time to leave. I know that I gave you a lot of trouble when I was in the temple. It's a lot of trouble. Please tell Master Bai He that I left the reward in my monk's residence. Remember to take it." After Xu Huaigu said this, he continued to walk north without saying a word.
Huicheng stopped in place for a moment, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he felt an inexplicable and sudden feeling of melancholy in his heart.
She knew that Xu Huaigu would have to leave sooner or later, but this was not the way to go, right? If he hadn't happened to see him, wouldn't he have left without saying goodbye?
After all, we have been getting along in the temple day and night for half a year, and he is so careless that he leaves without even saying hello?
Xu Songtu, I usually find you eager to get along with you, but you have been so cold these days. What are you thinking?
Huicheng was unwilling to let him go, so he rushed into the rain to catch him, and said hurriedly: "Then you have to wait until the flood has passed before leaving! What do you mean by leaving without even saying hello to us? ? Besides, it’s too dangerous for you to leave now. Come up the mountain with us! When the flood passes, you can go however you want, and I will never stop you." Xu Huaigu shook his head resolutely and said, "I have a lot of Important things have to be done and cannot be delayed. Huicheng, I know you are worried about me, but there is no need. I have lived well alone for so many years, so I will live well in the future. I am very happy to meet you. I'm happy, but meeting each other by chance will eventually lead to separation, and it's time to leave." This sudden departure was completely unexpected by Huicheng. She was stunned for a long time, watching Xu Huaigu break away from her hand, and then walked away without looking back. Into the rain.
Seeing his resolute and almost cruel departure, Huicheng felt a sigh of relief suddenly welling up in her heart, and tears began to well up in her eyes.
What's going on here? This guy is obviously so heartless, why do I feel like crying?
"Donor, please wait!" The master's voice suddenly appeared behind him. Huicheng quickly turned around to look, only to see that the master had also walked into the rain at some point, looking in the direction Xu Huaigu left and shouting.
Huicheng hurriedly wiped his eyes with his hand, fearing that his master would see him. Xu Huaigu had already walked deep into the rain curtain and was out of sight.
Huicheng had doubts in his heart. If he couldn't keep him, could his master keep him? A figure reappeared in their sight. Unexpectedly, Xu Huaigu walked back after hearing Master Bai He's shout.
Xu Huaigu, a reader, looked at Master Bai He and asked, "Master, why did you stop me? Do you want to keep me?" Master Bai He smiled slightly and said, "The donor misunderstood. I didn't stop you just to keep you. I don’t have the ability to keep you. I still remember when we were talking in the temple, the donor said that he couldn’t find his way home. I just want to ask the donor, if the donor wants to leave now, he has found his way home. "?" Xu Huaigu didn't seem to expect Master Bai He to answer him like this, and was stunned for a moment.
He then smiled back, bowed his hands, and said respectfully: "Master, I found it." Master Bai He said happily: "That's very good, very good. Go ahead, find your own way, and go home." Go." When Huicheng heard this, he became anxious and said hurriedly: "Master, you just let him go like this? Now the water may break through the embankment and rush in at any time. It's too dangerous! If we stay together, we can at least have someone to take care of us!" Bai He The master said calmly: "Huicheng, Almsgiver Xu has already said that he has found his way home. Do you think a smart person like Almsgiver Xu would say such a thing without being sure? Let Let him go, all living beings should find their own way. You choose your own way, and there is no regret." After saying that, Master Bai He walked back and said: "Huicheng, it's cold in the rain, so do you Hurry back home. After packing your things, we will set off back to the mountain immediately. We have done everything we can, and our manpower has been exhausted. The rest can only depend on God's will." Huicheng stared closely at the direction Xu Huaigu left. At this time, he had left again, and his figure was hidden in the rain.
She looked at it for a long time, finally sighed and went back to the house helplessly. But she didn't know that somewhere she couldn't see, deep in the rain curtain, Xu Huaigu also stopped and looked back for a long time.
He thought of the conversation he had with Master Bai He in the temple: One day in life is like a ephemeral life; the end of life; everything is relative.
Of course, there is also that enlightening sentence.
"Why can't I see the Buddha?"
"It's just because sentient beings don't want to look back." Even now, Xu Huaigu thought of the picture and artistic conception at that time, and when he savored it carefully, it still had a unique charm.
This sentence was undoubtedly a timely medicine for Xu Huaigu, who was overwhelmed by guilt and confusion at the time.
He knew that this sentence might stay with him for the rest of his life. He was walking on the road to Xiejiangyan in the north. Along the way, the haze in his heart was swept away, and he felt comfortable and happy as he had never experienced before.
He could clearly feel that the two inner demons entrenched in his heart had been completely suppressed and were about to disappear from his heart.
When he first came to Hemen City, Xu Huaigu weighed the possibility that he could not use his sword against the water god of the Luhua River.
When I killed the snake demon in that small village, it was because I was within my own ability and could kill him with just one sword. But this was the water god of the Luhua River, so the risk was too great.
Even if he can defeat her, once his identity is exposed, he will definitely die. Xu Huaigu was thinking, where did his attitude change?
What makes him willing to risk his life to save this city? Is it because there are thousands of people in this city?
Is it because of the merits that resisting the flood can bring to oneself? No, Xu Huaigu knew there was another reason.
The reason why he decided to fight this natural disaster alone was for the girl named Su Mulan whose mother died, for Master Bai He who came without hesitation from Chenghe Temple to discuss the prescription in the plague-ridden city, and for Chen Congming, who regards the people as more important than his own life, is for Shen Hanguang, who is fighting against the disease in the hospital bed.
It was for the doctor on the second floor of the drug store. When he left, Xu Huaigu clearly heard his cough.
It's for the woman who keeps her child in her arms even if she goes crazy. The scene of the woman's death was still vivid in Xu Huaigu's mind.
It was for the people in that dilapidated house who were insulting each other and fighting each other. Although they are not considered kind, Xu Huaigu likes their fireworks.
It was for Xu Huaigu himself. If he wanted to completely suppress these two inner demons, there was only one way he could go.
Even if he couldn't bear the flood, even if he died, he would not regret it. For the sake of everything, this sword must be struck, there is no turning back!
Xu Huaigu had already put on the white robe left to him by Zuo Qiuxun. Xu Huaigu had never used this robe, a top-grade magic weapon, but now it came in handy.
He walked to the river branched off by Xiejiangyan and flowed through Hemen City, took out a water-avoiding charm from his sleeve and threw it in the air.
At that time, he also used this talisman when he had a sword duel with Cui Huaijiang. The paper charms burned up in the air, and even the waterfall-like rain could not extinguish the flames of the paper charms.
Xu Huaigu stepped onto the river and walked towards the center of the river. He sat cross-legged in the center of the river, with the black phoenix feather sword across his knees.
The weir that had blessed Hemen City for hundreds of years, and the river beneath his feet, would eventually destroy Hemen City one day.
The only person standing between the roaring river behind Xiejiangyan and the tens of thousands of people in Hemen City was Xu Huaigu.
He looked towards Xiejiangyan. He saw many slowly moving small black spots on Xiejiangyan, which were craftsmen doing repair work.
Even at the last minute, they held on to their posts. He turned back to look at Hemen City. He saw carriages driving out of the city gate one by one. Those without carriages were quickly escaping from Hemen City with their families in tow.
There was a carriage that looked very familiar. It was the carriage of the Chen family. Chen Congming and the others were also escaping out of the city.
But it was too late, Xiejiangyan was about to collapse. Xu Huaigu could see the water rising higher and higher on Xiejiang Weir. There was a huge crack across the mouth of the weir. The craftsmen there were the densest, but the crack could not be blocked no matter how hard it was, and it was still expanding slowly.
Although she didn’t know why the Luhua River Water God wanted to flood Hemen, Xu Huaigu would stop her.
Gods cannot do whatever they want, Xu Huaigu will let her know the character of a person. Even if she is Yijiang's spirit, she will never step on human life.
The wind on the river was howling, and the raindrops fell on Xu Huaigu like crazy, and then slipped off his robe. The white robe did not stick to any water.
If someone sees it from a distance, they will be surprised to find this white glimmer on the river, impervious to wind and rain, giving people a sense of hope like a flame in the dark night.
Xu Huaigu closed his eyes to rest and concentrate on his sword intent. At this moment, his sword intent has reached its peak in many years.
Lines of snow-white sword energy overflowed from his body and fell on the river around him, creating thousands of fine and beautiful splashes.
It's here, it's finally here. Xu Huaigu heard a rumbling sound that echoed through the sky. He opened his eyes and saw that the Xiejiang Weir had been washed out by the flood. The huge rocks used to build the weir mouth rolled down into the river, creating a huge splash.
And behind that opening is a whole Luhua River that releases floods. Feiyu Island is full of water, and the Luhua River, which is several miles wide, finally shows its ferocity.
Snow-white river water poured out from this opening, and like a chain reaction, other parts of Xiejiangyan also began to collapse.
Flood, which had been suppressed for many days, finally had an outlet to vent, and rushed out of the cage like a mad wolf.
The monstrous flood was more than ten feet high. In just a moment, the sky was full of water mist, and even the river valley was shaking under the power of the water flow.
Xu Huaigu looked directly at the menacing flood without any fear. The wind blew his long hair and clothes flying everywhere. He calmly stood up with his sword and faced the flood.
Snow-white sword energy crisscrossed and gathered around his body, like wearing a chainmail made of sword energy. Xu Huaigu had never felt that his sword energy was so sharp and powerful.
He looked at the huge waves dozens of times higher than himself and smiled. Since you are so aggressive, let's see whether the river is more powerful or the sword in your hand is more powerful!
