Gazing at the scene on the street.
Xuanqing’s eyes were sharp.
With a sweep of his whisk in hand, a strong wind appeared, heading towards the buildings in the small town.
The fierce wind roared –
Crack-crack!
Wood chips flew.
Foam boxes, bed boards, tire plastic bottles and everything else that could float on the water were blown away by the strong wind.
People who were originally struggling in the water, managed to actually grab floating objects in their random flailing under the heave water, rising to the surface.
“Huff-”
The drowning people breathed fresh air once again.
Following that,
An even more miraculous incident occurred.
Small whirlpools appeared mysteriously in the rapid water flow, driving the water and carrying the drowning people holding onto the floating objects towards the shore.
Fear grew from the life-and-death situation.
Seeing hope, the drowning people exploded with all their might and managed to escape the flood and return to the shore.
Rescued!
Lying on the shore, they looked up at the sky, gasping heavily.
After calming down,
They faintly seemed to have seen a round, bulky object underwater, but they simply thought it was something like a bed being washed away by the flood and didn’t take it to heart.
The strong wind blowing all the floating life-saving objects was Xuanqing’s doing, while the whirlpool that rolled the drowning people ashore was the work of the Giant Tortoise.
The reason for transforming the River God Giant Turtle was not only to eliminate the sense of separation but also partly because of this disaster.
Those who embrace firewood for others should not let them freeze to death in the snow!
Those who offer incense for a humble Taoist should not let them drown in the flood!
For Xuanqing,
These visitors, who came to Qingping Temple to offer incense and contribute ingots, were good people, and naturally, they could not allow them to die in the flood.
On the other side,
At a road junction on a National Road through the Qingping Mountain Range, which allowed for U-turns,
A huge locust tree had collapsed, blocking the road and forcing drivers to turn around.
Many vehicles visiting Qingping Mountain or passing by the National Road in the mountain range cursed and scolded upon seeing the tree lying in the middle of the road, but ultimately, they had to obediently turn around.
Hidden,
Observing all of this, Huai Qingyun couldn’t help but mutter:
“Hmph, these people are indeed biting the hand that feeds them. They don’t appreciate the kindness of others. Daoist Master is saving you.”
However,
Huai Qingyun just complained a few words and didn’t take it to heart. After all, those who didn’t know couldn’t be blamed; these people didn’t know there would be a mudslide ahead.
After waiting for a while,
Finally,
Dozens of red fire trucks drove towards him from a distance.
Upon seeing this,
Huai Qingyun was invigorated.
“The rescue team has arrived. Finally, 1 can go back-”
The next moment,
His figure disappeared, and along with it, the huge locust tree lying in the middle of the road vanished as well.
Elsewhere,
In the county town,
The events happening far away in the small town did not affect the life in the county town.
Beep-beep beep beep
On the crowded roads, vehicles were coming and going, with the rumbling of engines mixed with the honking of horns.
A black business car was heading for the Business Department in the county town.
In the car,
Lily was driving intently.
The back seat was occupied by her boss, Sis Ying, the General Manager of Liucheng County Traditional Culture Tourism Co., Ltd.!
“Turn off the radio, and let me know when we arrive. I’m going to take a nap.” Yang Ying yawned, exhausted.
“Alright!”
Lily nodded.
Just as she was about to press the button to turn off the radio,
Suddenly.
[Breaking news: at 9:15 this morning, a major disaster occurred in Liucheng
County’s Qingping Town…]
Lily was taken aback!
She came to her senses, breaking out in a cold sweat.
She is not the only one.
Yang Ying, who was sitting in the back row, also lost her sleepiness.
‘Flood,’ ‘rescue,’ ‘urgent situation,’ and other words echoed in their ears, making them think back…
What if… what if Daoist Priest Xuanqing hadn’t stopped them.
Following their original plan, they would have passed through Qingping Town today on their way to promote their event in Liujia Town.
Yang Ying had already experienced several miraculous incidents.
She was the first to come to her senses, “Focus on driving, remember what I told you, some things are better left unsaid.”
Hoo- Got..got it.”
Lily took a deep breath, the shock in her eyes lingering.
The time was in the afternoon.
More than half a day had passed since the flood.
Thanks to the efforts of countless firefighters, all the trapped tourists were rescued.
Many journalists and self-media recorded this scene of unity and strength.
However.
When counting the casualties, the data showed 260 injured… and zero deaths, shocking everyone.
Yes.
Many people were injured, but no one had died in this major flood.
Upon seeing this situation…
Some opportunistic journalists and self-media reporters had hungry, wolf-like eyes. As news practitioners, they knew what this meant.
The shock that the ‘zero casualties’ data brought to the people in the small town.
As for Xuanqing, who caused this situation, he had returned to the Taoist temple.
In the front yard.
Xuanqing looked up slightly at the clear sky after the rain.
He saw that the disaster aura floating over Qingping Town began to fade at a visible speed as soon as the fire and rescue team entered the small town.
Eventually.
All the disaster aura disappeared!
“Good, it’s about time.”
Xuanqing’s mouth curled up slightly, and he closed his eyes as if waiting for something.
The next moment!
Hhumming-
A small cluster of bluish-green special energy appeared out of thin air and circled around his body.
It was… Human Merit!
With a touch of his fingertip.
The small cluster of Human Merit in front of him seemed to be attracted to something and rapidly entered his body.
[Ding! +101 Human Merit, do you want to exchange it for 6060 Ingots?]
“No exchange!”
Xuanqing said calmly.
He used to do it out of necessity, but now that he can easily obtain Ingots, he will not pick up sesame seeds and lose his watermelon.
It’s a pity that even if it’s a disaster relief in the Game World, Human Merit can’t be obtained!”
Just as he was feeling regretful.
Suddenly!
Three consecutive beeps sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, player, for accumulating 100 Human Merit points and officially binding your Game Login Device! ]
[Ding! Congratulations, player, for receiving the Novice Gift Package*i, which has been sent to your backpack.]
[Ding! Congratulations, player, for successfully opening the Game Mall!]
????
After three beeping sounds fell.
Humming-
Xuanqing felt as though there was now an icon for a ‘Game Login Device’ in his mind.
From now on, he doesn’t need to use a phone, just a thought and he can freely log into the Game World.
Moreover.
As long as he focuses on the icon, he can monitor the characters’ situation in the Game World through it..contemporary romance
