Chapter 105 – What does it have to do with me?

Without waiting for Wei Yuan to continue asking.

It seems that an unexpected event has occurred, and the communication of the disciples of the Tian Shi Fu on the other side was interrupted, leaving only silence. Wei Yuan looked at this new account and did not attempt to contact it.

If the other party is currently in a dangerous situation, contacting them again may distract them and put them in danger.

He calmed down and still had a trace of astonishment in his mind.

The water god of Huai River was sacrificed using the method of primitive blood sacrifice.

But the former Huai River Water Lord is still sealed.

Yu, the seven gods from Kun Lun Mountain, and the Winged Dragon Gongchen sealed Wu Zhiqi.

According to the rules of the gods, Gongchen became the second generation water god of Huai River.

But no matter which version it is, the Winged Dragon, who is a god of Kun Lun and once assisted Xuanyuan in defeating Chi You, cannot perform such a blood sacrifice.

The relationship between the Tian Shi Fu and himself is good. Now that the disciples of the Tian Shi Fu are seeking help, Wei Yuan naturally wants to do his best. However, facing the possible water god of Huai River, even if it is just a false god or an evil god, he does not have a good solution. The heavenly maiden is currently in seclusion, and Nvjiao herself has aged and is in the Qingqiu Kingdom.

After thinking it over, there is no other way.

Wei Yuan pondered for a while, sighed, and had to lie down on the bed again.

Even if he didn't want to face Wu Zhiqi, he had no choice.

Converging his mind, Wei Yuan quickly entered the dream, keeping himself awake with the help of the Winged Dragon's long feathers, and then actively visualizing the image of Wu Zhiqi, the water god of Huai River, in the dream. A white-faced and green-bodied monkey with golden eyes appeared in the dream, and soon showed a trace of astonishment as he looked at Wei Yuan.

"You dare to come back?!"

Immediately, Wu Zhiqi reached out and grabbed the water system that had transformed in the dream.

Ready to continue the previous process.

Wei Yuan took a step back and said, "Wait, Water Lord, I came to find you for something."

Wu Zhiqi laughed, "Why don't you call me Monkey anymore?"

"Weren't you happy just now?"

The water blade formed by the water veins in his hand struck, directly dispersing Wei Yuan's dream body. Wu Zhiqi then dissipated the water system and sat cross-legged on the ground, saying, "It should not be a simple matter for you to take the initiative to come and see me in your dream. You can speak now."

Wei Yuan condensed his dream body again, feeling emotional and whispered. Even though Wu Zhiqi had been locked up for five thousand years, his thinking was still sharp and keen. He immediately focused and briefly explained the situation, but he hid his relationship with the Tian Shi Fu and focused on the fact that an evil spirit had taken the name of the water god of Huai River for sacrifice.

After finishing, he looked at Wu Zhiqi.

Wu Zhiqi supported his chin with one hand and said, "So what?"

He stretched his body and had a nonchalant expression on his face:

"What does it have to do with me if humans die and are sacrificed?"

Wei Yuan said, "But you are the water god of Huai River, and an evil spirit has taken your name."

Wu Zhiqi couldn't help but burst into laughter and said, "The title of the water god of Huai River is already a thing of thousands of years ago. It probably belongs to Gongchen after me. If it's going to be ruined, it should be ruined for him. What does it have to do with me? Hahaha, I even hope that his title becomes more and more infamous, to the point of being unbearable!"

"If you talk about this, it can only make me happy."

Wei Yuan said, "...Gongchen is indeed the water god of Huai River, but he is no longer here."

"Or maybe he has been gone for a long time."

"And in the temples around the Huai River, even until the Song Dynasty, Wu Zhiqi was still worshipped."

Wu Zhiqi's movements stopped, and his golden eyes looked at Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan waved his hand, and a sculpture appeared in the dream. This was his dream, and after seeing Wu Zhiqi in the dream, he had also collected information about the myths of the Huai River on the internet, so he could manifest it here.

Among them, there was a sculpture discovered near the Yellow River tributaries in the Central Plains during the early years of the Hua Dynasty, with several large characters carved on the back, saying, "Made in the first year of Jianzhong in the Song Dynasty." He said, "According to the records in the classics, the water god of Huai River worshipped in the Huai River basin a thousand years ago was still you."

"At least part of it was you."

Wu Zhiqi's face showed surprise at first, then he sensed something different, slowly frowned, and said:

"But I never received any worship."

"This sculpture is wrong."

Wei Yuan sat down cross-legged, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Could it be that the legends of the gods have been tampered with?"

"What did you say?"

Wei Yuan made one document after another appear in the dream and said, "Water Lord, you were sealed early on, so you don't know that there was a god system called Buddhism that entered Shen Zhou in ancient times and has survived until now..."Wu Zhiqi frowned and interrupted, "Impossible, the gods on Kunlun Mountain will not allow it. They occupy the heavens, while the four seas and mountains are controlled by the land gods of Shen Zhou. The foreign gods have no foundation. Even if Yu expelled other races and beasts from the human world for the sake of the human race, they cannot establish themselves."

A possibility suddenly came to Wei Yuan's mind. He looked up at Wu Zhiqi and said, "Kunlun Mountain hasn't appeared in the mortal world for a long time."

"So it is possible that from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, Gengchen also left the Huai River. When he left, he entrusted the Huai River to you and let the people worship Wu Zhiqi again. But it was taken advantage of by others."

"According to records, during the Southern Song Dynasty, Confucian scholars believed that 'the secular monks descended Wu Zhiqi', and later there were records that 'the Shiji believed that Wu Zhiqi was the water mother descended by the monks of Sizhou'."

"And the monk was a famous monk who entered the Central Plains during the Tang Dynasty."

"He was known as the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva."

As Wei Yuan showed Wu Zhiqi the ancient texts, Wu Zhiqi gradually became quiet.

After a long time, he looked at Wei Yuan and said slowly, "Is that Guanyin Bodhisattva the deity of the Western Buddhist sect?"

Wei Yuan also had enough guesses in his mind. He nodded and felt a surge of emotions. He used to see these stories as ordinary legends, but after experiencing the divine era, he could perceive the difference and feel a faint fear.

The true legend was that Yu subdued Wu Zhiqi, but what followed was the legend of the monk subduing Wu Zhiqi.

Eventually, the final version was 'the monk subduing the Turtle Mountain Water Mother.'

Wu Zhiqi, as the lord of the Huai River, was always connected to Yu, which was one of Yu's greatest achievements.

And Yu was an inevitable figure in the divine legends of Shen Zhou. It would be sung from generation to generation, which, from the perspective of the cultivation world, represented that Wu Zhiqi himself was a symbol of the divine legends of Shen Zhou. His name and existence possessed mythical characteristics and legends, an undeniable power.

After Gengchen left the water system, Wu Zhiqi's power reappeared in the Huai River along with the legend of Yu. Yu controlled the water and suppressed Wu Zhiqi, while Wu Zhiqi naturally became the water lord of the Huai River. These were the two necessary points in the legend.

At this time, the worship of Wu Zhiqi was rebuilt, but it was directed in the wrong direction.

This power could not be directed towards the true Wu Zhiqi, but remained in the Huai River area. Then there was the legend of the monk subduing Wu Zhiqi, which guided this divine and legendary power into the monk. After hundreds of years, Wu Zhiqi transformed into the Turtle Mountain Water Mother, completely separating from the divine legends of Shen Zhou.

This power and mythical characteristics were completely transferred to the existence of the monk.

And the monk was the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Overall, it was the foreign gods who swallowed Wu Zhiqi's legendary nature and successfully established themselves in Shen Zhou.

The most direct evidence was that the so-called evil deeds of the Turtle Mountain Water Mother took place at Turtle Mountain, where it was suppressed. Turtle Mountain was originally the palace of Wu Zhiqi and the place where he was suppressed by Yu, the seven divine generals, and the Winged Dragon Gengchen.

The truth was replaced by falsehood, and the substitute became the reality.

Wei Yuan was shocked in his heart.

He thought of the legend that Wu Zhiqi was the prototype of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong.

And Sun Wukong had a golden hoop representing bondage on his head.

The golden hoop came from the prototype of the monk, Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Was this some kind of metaphor?

This was not just a legend, or rather, Wei Yuan could have treated it as a legend, but when ancient divine legends were introduced, it meant the invasion of mythology.

Moreover, the legend was distorted and occupied the power that originally belonged to oneself. Even the water lord who ravaged the land became the so-called Water Mother, suppressed by the monks. The divine being who could not be unsealed for a long time might be right in front of them.

He silently closed the ancient texts and looked up at Wu Zhiqi, whose aura had turned cold.

Wu Zhiqi's golden eyes stared at Wei Yuan and said slowly, "Unseal me..."

Wei Yuan shook his head and said, "I can't do that."

"This time, evil worship has appeared in the Huai River again. Regardless of its source, it means that someone has set their sights on the power and legends that originally belonged to you, wanting to seize your mythical characteristics."

Wei Yuan looked at Wu Zhiqi and said, "I want to save people, and you need to maintain your own power."

"We can cooperate."

Wu Zhiqi angrily said, "Cooperate? How do you know me?!"

"I know."

Wei Yuan and Wu Zhiqi looked at each other, and there was a pause in their voices.

"Because you and I are both living beings in the same divine legend."

"Because I have also lived in the divine era of this land. Or, even if my own legend is distorted and my mythical foundation is occupied by foreign gods, the water lord who once stirred up Shen Zhou can still remain indifferent?""The one who defeated you was King Yu of Shen Zhou, the Winged Dragon who once fought against Chi You, and the seven divine generals of Mount Kun Lun, not the monks from the Western Regions."

Wu Zhiqi stared at Wei Yuan: "Are you trying to provoke me?"

Wei Yuan said, "I'm just telling the truth."

"What a truth indeed!"

They stared at each other for a long time, then Wu Zhiqi suddenly burst into laughter. His golden eyes were cold, and he heavily placed his palm on Wei Yuan's head. Then, Wei Yuan heard the ancient roar of the Huai River system in Shen Zhou, surpassing the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, rushing into the sea, from Mount Tongbai to Yunmeng Marsh, and even the vast water system of the Xiang River.

"Kill them all!"

Wu Zhiqi lifted his palm, and a trace disappeared from Wei Yuan's forehead.

In his palm, however, appeared something similar to a seal. Even though it was slowly disappearing, there was still a special aura within it, reminding Wei Yuan of the decree that was recorded in the classics and conferred to the deities of mountains and rivers.

But how could Wu Zhiqi possibly do this?

Wei Yuan finally realized a problem that had been overlooked.

Even though it was called the Huai River.

It was subconsciously regarded as a river.

But the Huai River is not a simple river. Even after being managed by Yu, it is thousands of kilometers long and covers an area of nearly 300,000 square kilometers. It is the third largest river system in Shen Zhou, with fifty-eight tributaries that can nurture river gods.

You should know that in ancient times, some ancient wells connected to the water system could nurture so-called well dragon kings.

The Lord of the Huai Whirlpool is not the divine position of a certain water god.

It is the ruler of an entire aquatic deity system.

And this seal that is slowly dissipating in his hand.

The order of the Huai River God in the divine era.

………………

"I once said, one for one. Today, you have obtained this order, you know what to do."

"Notify those so-called water demons, the Lord of the Huai Whirlpool, is still here."

Wu Zhiqi's golden eyes stared at Wei Yuan, chains began to appear on his body. Clearly, the use of power had triggered changes in the seal, and this ancient water god was clearly furious.

Wei Yuan nodded solemnly.

Just as he was about to leave, Wu Zhiqi, who had used his power, suddenly spoke:

"Yuan."

Wei Yuan instinctively looked up.

But he saw the white-faced, green-bodied monkey suddenly raise his hand, and a black shadow flew straight towards his head. Upon closer inspection, it was a huge pottery. Wei Yuan didn't know when the monkey had hidden it. His face froze as he was hit, seeing stars before his eyes, and heard Wu Zhiqi's wild laughter as he was about to disappear from the dream:

"Five thousand years, hahaha, enlightenment!"

"Go, tell the world, the Lord of the Huai Whirlpool, still exists in this world!"
