Chapter 95 Qinhuai River Flood

"Brother Taoist doesn't even remember my name, that's too much!" The little girl was angry and was very bothered by the fact that Li Daoxuan didn't remember his name.

But the smile that occasionally appeared in her eyes seemed to hide some trick.

Li Daoxuan scratched his head, feeling that he couldn't continue the conversation. After all, he really didn't remember the other person's name.

"I don't remember your name, but do you know my name?" Li Daoxuan decided to take the initiative and asked by imitating her words.

I thought I could still stump him, but who knew the little girl would smile and hand the lantern to him, then said, "Of course I know the Taoist brother's name. The Taoist brother's surname must be Li, and his name contains the word Daoxuan."

"Ah?! How do you know this?" Li Daoxuan felt something was wrong. He didn't seem to have said his name. How come this little girl remembered it?

Before he could recall clearly, the little girl continued.

"Since Taoist brother doesn't remember my name, I will punish him and ask him to light the lantern for me. Don't do it wrong, otherwise I will be very sad."

The water lantern was handed to him, and Li Daoxuan took it subconsciously. When he came to his senses, he found that he had already taken the little girl's water lantern in his hand.

Now that things have come to this, he can only help her release the water lantern.

He found a fire and lit the wick. Under the expectant eyes of the little girl, he gently pushed the water lantern to float away.

Thousands of stars float downstream, and songs are heard on both sides of the river.

The little girl quickly cupped her hands, stood by the river bank and closed her eyes to pray. Soon she opened her eyes, looked at Li Daoxuan and said expectantly: "Brother Taoist, do you know what wish I made just now?"

"What wish?" Li Daoxuan asked subconsciously.

"Just... I won't tell you~" said the little girl, then turned around with a smug look on her face and walked towards the river bank.

"The little girl is trying this trick. She's really precocious." Li Daoxuan could only complain in his heart after listening to her words.

Just as I was about to go ashore, I saw the little girl's body tilted and fell diagonally into the river.

"Miss!"

"what!"

"careful!"

Amid the exclamations of the crowd, Li Daoxuan took a few quick steps forward, grabbed the little girl's hand, and held her steadily.

Thanks to the squatting exercises he had done these days, he could still stand steadily even at the narrow river bank.

"Brother Taoist." The little girl's eyes were misty, and a trace of panic appeared on her fair face. It was obvious that what happened just now was unexpected for her, and she was so scared.

"It's okay..." Li Daoxuan was about to comfort her when he suddenly heard screams and exclamations from both sides of the river.

"The boat capsized! The boat capsized!"

"The river god is angry!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

The screams continued. Li Daoxuan immediately looked towards the river. Huge waves were rushing towards the shore, and a three-story ship in the river was overturned.

"Help!"

"There's a flood, there's a flood!"

"Hurry up and save him! Someone is drowning!"

"Someone come and rescue our young master! Our young master is still on that boat!"

Screams and cries for help were heard everywhere.

Looking at the incoming waves, the people standing on the river bank fled away.

Li Daoxuan and the little girl were standing right in front of the huge waves and it was too late for them to escape.

He looked at the surging waves, stretched out his hands to protect the little girl, then turned around, put his feet close to the ground, leaned forward slightly, lowered his shoulders and elbows, blocked the rolling river water, and felt the coldness sweeping in. The huge waves swallowed several people, and the screams were like a flock of ducks in a turmoil, calling for help in the river.

The overturned ship was slowly sinking into the river, leaving everyone on board with no time to react.

Everything happened too suddenly, and it was so strange that no one could understand it.

The lively Lantern Festival turned into a day of saving lives, with boats coming from all directions to rescue people.

Li Daoxuan held the little girl in his arms, hoping to withstand the attack of the wave, but he was also swept into the river by the flood.

The cold river water choked his throat, burning his lungs. A whirlpool surged behind him, as if something was pulling him under the water like a whale.

Feeling the struggle in his arms, Li Daoxuan knew he could not hesitate. He hugged the little girl tightly with one hand and immediately pinched his fingers with the other hand. He saw her thumb clasping her middle and ring fingers, with her index and little fingers stretched out, and silently chanted in his heart: "Rengao protects me, Dingchou blesses me, Renhe saves me, Dingyou preserves me, Rencan manages my soul, Dingsi nourishes my spirit, Taiyin Huagai, Dihu Tianmen, I walk the steps of Yu, Xuannv Zhenren, sits and lies in the Mingtang, hides myself, and hurry up as ordered."

The spell passed in an instant, temporarily dispelling the water from his body. Li Daoxuan opened his eyes and looked at the little girl he was holding tightly. She was pale at the moment, and foam kept coming out of her mouth. It was obvious that she had choked on too much water and was showing symptoms of drowning. She couldn't hold on for much longer.

Li Daoxuan pinched his sword finger and tapped it on the little girl's forehead. The Dan Qi circulated and was transported into the little girl's body.

When her complexion improved a little, seeing the cold water surrounding him again, Li Daoxuan didn't care about anything else and immediately put the little girl down. Then he put his hands together, quickly rotated 180 degrees palm to palm, and placed his right hand on top of his left hand. Then he pulled his arms outward, interlocked his little fingers, turned his right hand over, and faced his palms. He bent his ring fingers inward, pressed his index finger with his left middle finger, and pressed his index finger with his right middle finger. The index fingers of both hands pressed against each other, and the Water Avoidance Technique was completed! Li Daoxuan suddenly pushed the Water Avoidance Technique straight up, and dispersed the surrounding river water again in an instant.

The little girl looked a little better, no longer having the river water in her lungs. After she stood up tremblingly, her body was covered with mud from the river bottom. She didn't notice the stench, and just held Li Daoxuan's waist tightly with both hands, looking at the situation at the bottom of the river nervously.

Although this sudden change made her feel nervous and scared, when she looked at Li Daoxuan with her big eyes, there was even a bit of admiration in her eyes.

This was the first time in her life that she was able to survive at the bottom of a river and breathe freely like a fish.

"Hold on to me." Li Daoxuan silently said to the little girl, and stuffed the jade pendant on his waist into the little girl's arms. He immediately crossed the ring finger of his left hand over the middle finger of his right hand, and the ring finger of his right hand over the middle finger of his left hand at the same time. He bent his index fingers inwards to clasp the crossed ring fingers, and the middle fingers of both hands were vertically facing each other, and the thumbs were bent into the palms. He pinched the magic formula to ask the Black Tortoise to protect his body, so that the cold river water would no longer be chilling to the bone marrow.

The little girl's complexion gradually recovered and it seemed that she was fine.

The incident happened suddenly just now, and Li Daoxuan was completely unaware of Li Yanming behind him. Now he looked around again, but there was no trace of Li Yanming.

"I hope this kid is still on the shore." Li Daoxuan thought for a moment, then looked towards the bottom of the river again.

The Qinhuai River is an inland river, and it has been calm since ancient times. It is definitely abnormal for it to flood for no reason. Moreover, the overturned pleasure boat has three floors. It can be used for boats on the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, not to mention the Qinhuai River. How could it sink into the river for no reason?

People kept falling into the water around him. They struggled and resisted, but were sucked into the whirlpool without exception. Even the overturned ship was not spared and sank rapidly to the bottom of the river. Even if there were enough rescue boats on the river, it would be difficult to rescue the drowning people in the whirlpool.

"There is an evil spirit." Li Daoxuan looked fixedly at the dark bottom of the river.

He did not bring any magic tools, not even a talisman. After all, he was in Jinling, and it was the Lantern Festival. Who could have thought that such a big thing would happen?

Since there were no other magic tools or talismans, his only method was to use that.

"I don't know if I can use it." Li Daoxuan's emotions gradually calmed down, his eyes fixed on the riverbed. He put his hands together, palms facing down, crossed his hands, and hooked his little fingers together, and he felt the sea of ​​qi in his dantian surging.

"Control the way of heaven, transform the two yin and yang, create yin and yang, turn the heaven and earth, and forgive the boundless heaven and earth. The heaven and earth borrow the law, the law is born from the heart, and it is endless. Taiyi Tianzun, hurry up and obey the order!"

After the spell was finished, the river water surged. Li Daoxuan only felt that his whole body was full of magical power, and the meridians that were originally like a stream were now as wide as a big river.

Feeling delighted, he glared at the dark bottom of the river.

"You dare to drag me into this water, and I'll let you know how powerful I am!"

"The universe is boundless, the wind and thunder receive orders! Dragons fight in the wild, and all the ten directions are destroyed. Taiyi Tianzun, hurry up and obey the order!"

Change the hand gestures again!

Bend the ring finger of the left hand inward, and place the little finger over the ring finger and against the tip of the thumb. Bend the middle finger inward and press down on the thumb and little finger. Straighten the index finger, and start a fight!
Bend the middle finger and ring finger of your right hand inward at the same time, hold the middle finger and ring finger with your thumb, and straighten the index finger and little finger, Dow Jones!

The left hand moves forward, and the right hand points closely behind it, forming the Killing God Technique!

The water below was seen surging and churning, and many of the drowning people who had been sucked into the water were thrown toward the surface of the river.

The next moment, a huge old turtle suddenly appeared and opened its mouth to swallow Li Daoxuan.
