441, [The Art of Turtle Breath]

Speaking of this, Li Yue's eyes were a little confused. He sighed softly and said:

"I had just transformed into shape, just a carp spirit with a transformed shape, but I am more generous in character and have a broad range of friendships, so I know how to go next. I plan to experience the lives of ordinary people in depth according to the collected method, so as to go further in my cultivation, and at least get rid of the shackles of human life span on myself first."

"So I spent a lot of effort to find some precious treasures and fishing catches in the river, find a suitable place to sell them, and exchange them for money. Then I packed up these wealth and searched around the river, and happened to meet Hedong Village. This was the case, and I fell in love with it."

"I observed it around and made myself miserable. I walked into the village and claimed that I had escaped from outside and was preparing to settle down in Hedong Village. After asking a few questions, the villagers believed me and allowed me to stay in the village. I helped a lot when I used my savings to build a house and land."

"Those decades were my happiest time. I settled down in Hedong Village, resting at sunrise every day at sunset. Later, I introduced my neighbors to marry and have children, and enjoy the joy of family. Unconsciously, my cultivation continued to improve with the arrival of insights. My former neighbors, my wife, were already old, and my children grew up and started a family and lived on their own."

"In order not to be too shocking, I have been using magic to change my appearance to look a little older. Finally, a few years after my wife passed away, I felt that the time had come, so I pretended to die in the bed and waited for them to bury me, which was considered to have learned about that fate."

After talking about so much about the past, Li Yue still did not mention why he participated in water management.

However, Fang Chang never lacks patience. He just listened quietly, waiting for the former carp spirit Li Yue to continue to say the following.

I just heard the other party explain:

"In addition to explaining the root of the lower part, it is to show that Hexi Village was not called Hexi Village at the beginning, but Hedong Village. But later its name changed after all, because although Hedong Village is good, it is often flooded by the river."

"Fortunately, the fields are fertile after the flood. As long as you find a way to prevent the harvest from being washed away by the warehouse, you can still eat the harvest for two or three years, so you won't be hungry. So every two or three years, the villagers still struggle and refuse to change places."

"But this is too uncomfortable after all, and there are quite a few risks. Every time the water is in trouble, it is like a sea of ​​fire. Occasionally, the lucky villagers are killed in the flood, or all their belongings are washed away, and they can't stand the suicide... Many tragic events, no one knows whether they will fall on their heads one day."

"The most dangerous time, the river was diverted from the prefecture, destroying more than 10,000 houses, and countless fertile fields were covered with crops that had not yet harvested, and nearly a thousand people were killed or injured. Although the Hedong Village where I live survived that flood, it also changed from 'Hedong Village' to 'Hexi Village' because of the big river'."

"Even now, there is a saying here, namely, 'Thirty Years of Hedong and Thirty Years of Hexi', to explain the impermanence of the world."

"So, it has always been the dream and wish of the villagers of Hedong Village to be able to convince this big river by the village. However, the imperial court has allocated money every year, but the drop in the bucket is only enough to alleviate the disaster and cannot be cured. The improvement over the past few decades is mainly dominated by people like Mr. Wei in the state, gathering the people who hope to change here and making it bit by bit."

"After the time I transformed, I have been wandering around this place. Most of my life was in Hedong Village, and I naturally care about water control. So a few years ago, after I let go of everything, I removed the magic that disguised as an old man, returned to my original state, and came here to help. I just hope to use my meager power and do my best."

Wei He had just walked to the side, took a basin and threw the fish brought by Li Yue in. At this time, he was returning to the chair and sat down. He heard that his friend had explained the reasons for participating in water management, Wei He was leaving from the map and walking back to the table and said with a smile:

"Brother Li, don't be humble. You have played a very good role here. You can write and calculate, have a variety of skills and are extremely capable, and are very good at various tasks in river engineering. You are also good at winning over the years and can lead everyone to do things. You have made great contributions to the people of Lizhou."

After all, I have lived in the world for decades, and have experienced the experience of being young and strong to having children and grandchildren. As a great demon with cultivation, although Li Yue looks young, he has long been familiar with the world. Therefore, he admitted Wei He's praise and said:

"It's not polite. I originally thought I would just not drag my back, but now it can play a big role, which is naturally an unexpected surprise."

He nodded next to him.

Then he looked at Li Yue and asked at the beginning: "From your look, I'm afraid I'm no longer a carp spirit?"

Li Yue said with a happy face:

"Well, it's not anymore. I have been transformed into a dragon for more than 20 years. In recent years, I have worked in river engineering and experienced many things. I have also saved up some merits. When I was still in contact with my colleagues, I have felt a lot of feelings about my practice. Maybe in another hundred years, I will have the opportunity to transform into a dragon."

Fang Chang smiled and said, "Then I wish you success in advance."

In fact, the demons in the water often continue to practice by transforming into human bodies, but only carp are different. They are different from other aquatic products. When they become monsters, their cultivation will also improve their bodies and transform into dragons because of their deepening of their cultivation.

However, this step is very difficult and has always been rare. It is only recorded as a legend in the book.

Although Li Yue in front of him had only reached the point of transforming the dragon, he was already considered a person who had a great blessing.

Wei He poured some tea for himself next to him and told Fang Chang: "Speaking of all, Brother Li has actually been in Lizhou and has left his own legend. People who come and go often talk about this matter, and they will definitely be taken further in a few years."

"Oh? It sounds good, just talk."

Fang Chang suddenly became interested. He remembered the fact that he drove away the pangolin demon and killed the pangolin. Now it is still passed down by word of mouth, although the biggest purpose is to be used as a bedtime story.

"It's still Hedong Village that Brother Li mentioned just now. After Brother Li's wife passed away, he also wanted to leave and say goodbye. So he chose a normal day and used the turtle breathing technique to pretend to die in the bed."
