The jade-faced man transformed by Gong Mengbi was quite attractive. He flew across the Wujiang River, and within a short while, he saw the Wujiang River flowing with gratifying water.
During this drought season, water is the most precious. Although the water level in the Wujiang River has dropped a lot compared to previous years, it is good news that it has not been cut off.
Both sides of the Wujiang River are farmland. In theory, there should be farmers carrying water for irrigation, but in fact, the poor farmers just look at the water and sigh, hunched over, and dare not go to the Wujiang River to fetch water.
Gong Mengbi half-squinted his eyes, pressed his head, and looked for a farmer to ask.
The old man replied: "Don't dare to carry water. Wujiang River is the private property of the Dragon King. If there is no sacrifice or permission from the Dragon King, carrying water for irrigation will be punished by the Dragon King."
Gong Mengbi suddenly felt angry in his heart, but he sneered, knowing that the Dragon King of Wujiang had a way to kill him.
Gong Mengbi asked: "Then what should you do with the water?"
The old man said: "You can get water, but you can't take too much. Once discovered, the whole village will be affected."
Gong Mengbi sighed: "The weather is good, but the Dragon King is not there to protect us. However, during the drought, the Dragon King comes out to harm people."
The old man was taken aback and said: "Young man, don't talk nonsense. If you are overheard, you will die."
Gong Mengbi said: "What a great majesty!"
The old man just sighed deeply, with deep helplessness and fear flowing in the vertical and horizontal wrinkles on his face, and just said: "The Dragon King is the righteous god, he will protect us, he will protect us."
He muttered a few words, as if to convince himself, and said in an accentuated tone: "The Dragon King will protect us!"
Gong Mengbi sighed softly and said, "Thank you, father-in-law, for clarifying my doubts."
The old man looked back and saw that the young and handsome young man was gone.
He couldn't even remember what he asked himself just now.
Gong Mengbi sneered and dived directly into the Wujiang River. Then smoke rose up, and the water in the Wujiang River continued to decrease as if it was being swallowed by some terrifying giant beast.
His move immediately alerted the spirits patrolling the water.
A catfish demon came over with a steel fork raised, and saw a jade-like clam shell slowly opening and closing in the water, constantly sucking in the river water. He was shocked and angry, and immediately shouted: "Where are you from? I don't know that Wujiang River is under the jurisdiction of the Dragon King. How dare you steal the water from the river?"
The clam shell stopped immediately, and the haze continued to gather in. A jade-faced man in white walked out of it, cupped his hands and said: "I came from the north and went to the East China Sea. I passed through the treasure land. I don't know the rules. Please forgive me." "
While he was talking, a group of underwater demons came to surround him and said: "Stealing river water is a heinous crime, and we can't catch him without restraint."
Gong Mengbi raised his hands and said, "Those who do not know are not guilty. I am willing to compensate."
The leading catfish spirit said: "In that case, come with me to see the king."
So Gong Mengbi was escorted to the underwater Dragon Palace.
Before arriving at the Dragon Palace, Gong Mengbi smelled a strange fragrance. Looking along the scent, he saw a magnificent haze scene, full of spiritual charm. The magnificent haze surrounded the underwater Dragon Palace, showing various wonderful features.
Gong Mengbi was surprised. This was human incense turning into haze. It could be called a majestic treasure, but more importantly, it showed great wealth.
Incense has various magical uses and is often distributed as a salary from the gods.
Even the five ghosts refined by Gong Mengbi himself must be nourished with incense to become gods.
Such incense turns into hazy light, just like using gold bricks to build an outer wall gatehouse, showing unparalleled nobility.
General Catfish escorted Gong Mengbi through the haze of incense and arrived at the Dragon Palace.
Compared with Qiantang Dragon Palace, Wujiang Dragon Palace is of course much inferior, not as exquisite and impressive. Although it was also a dragon palace, with incense and smoke adding wealth and honor, it gave Gong Mengbi a feeling of deliberate publicity, and he immediately fell down.

General Catfish took him in, and he saw singing and dancing in the main hall. The clam girl, the snail girl, the snake girl, the fish girl, the graceful figure, and the Wujiang Water God enjoyed the beautiful scenery and enjoyed themselves as much as they wanted.
General Catfish asked him to wait outside and went in alone to report.
Within a moment, I heard a voice from inside: "Come up!"
The sound of strings, strings and bamboos stopped, and the clam girl, the snail girl, the snake girl and the fish girl came out one after another, standing in the corner of the hall and waiting for orders.
Gong Mengbi was pointed into the palace by several soldiers, and he was escorted into the palace. Then he saw the leader of the palace, a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard, looking over at him. His eyes were like flames, which were painful.
But when Gong Mengbi saw this look, he couldn't help but reveal the looming watery form, like a clam shell, and then took on the shape of a dragon.
A bit of smoke flew out of Gong Mengbi's sleeves, blocking the man's gaze, making his eyes seem to fall into an illusion.
The Wujiang Water God showed a hint of surprise and said, "Are you the one who stole the water?"
Gong Mengbi cupped his hands and said: "During the Lower Water Moon, Mirage attained Taoism. I was practicing in the north, but the drought was severe and the river I was relying on had dried up, so I couldn't go south to find new water sources."
"I originally wanted to go to the East China Sea to have a look and see if I could find a place to stay. I passed by the treasure land and was happy to see the water. I didn't mean to steal it. Please forgive me."
Upon hearing that he was a mirage dragon, the Wujiang Water God immediately showed some attention and said: "So that's it. Since you didn't intend to steal the water, that's it. I am the Lord of the Wujiang River and I am in charge of the water of the Wujiang River. It happens to be a severe drought this year, so we have to be more cautious.”
Gong Mengbi quickly said: "Thank you Dragon God!"
The Wujiang Water God smiled and said: "You are a guest, please take a seat."
Gong Mengbi followed the good deeds and sat under the Wujiang Water God. He showed a bit of envy at the right time and said: "The Dragon God is so good at controlling water, no wonder it can have such a scene. Incense and smoke are really the only thing I have seen in my life."
When the Wujiang Water God was poked at the itchy spot, he showed a somewhat reserved smile and said, "It's nothing. There are just more sacrifices to pray for rain during drought."
Gong Mengbi said: "I went to the East China Sea to see if I could find a career, but compared to the Dragon God, I'm afraid I won't be able to compare with him in this life."
Wujiang Shui Shen said: "The East China Sea is vast, I'm afraid there are so many capable people, but it's really difficult to get ahead."
Gong Mengbi looked at the Wujiang Water God, gritted his teeth, and said, "I wonder if Lord Dragon God is still short of manpower, can I be used? If you don't mind, I am willing to join you and work for you."
The Wujiang Water God carefully looked at Gong Mengbi. This jade-faced man had a sincere expression and was of dragon species. He was indeed a master. Who wouldn't be tempted by such a master to offer his services? Who would be willing to refuse?
Neither can the Wujiang Water God.
He showed a bit of joy and said happily: "I can't ask for it! I can't ask for it!"
He personally came down from the throne, toasted to Gong Mengbi, and said: "You don't despise my small family in Wujiang, but you are willing to give up the vastness of the East China Sea to sleep in my creek. I am very grateful."
Gong Mengbi drank the wine and said: "Sir, please don't try to displease me. You are the holy one in the water. It is my blessing to be able to practice with you."
The Wujiang Water God clinked glasses with him and laughed heartily.
