7 pm.
Longmen, on the bank of the Yi River.
The moon is bright and the stars are few.
Ye Qiu and the Long-browed True Man are sitting on the grass, quietly waiting for the approach of midnight.
Time passes by minute by minute.
In the blink of an eye, it’s 8 pm.
“Old thing, where is the treasure？” Ye Qiu asked.
“Don’t be in a hurry. When it’s midnight and the five stars align, the treasure will be born naturally.” Suddenly thinking of something, the Long Eyebrow True Man said, “Our Dragon Tiger Mountain has been looking for this treasure for many years. Little brat, I’m warning you, don’t snatch it from me.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not interested in treasures. I just want to restore my cultivation level quickly.” Ye Qiu then added, “However, whether you can get the treasure still depends on fate.”
The Long Eyebrow True Man said with full confidence, “I have made full preparations this time. The treasure will definitely belong to me.”
“Good luck to you.” After saying that, Ye Qiu began to sit cross-legged and meditate.
Another ten-odd minutes passed.
Suddenly, there was a thunderclap like a “boom”, earth-shattering, and the ten-thousand-zhang lightning illuminated the night sky.
Immediately after, a downpour began to fall from the sky.
Ye Qiu and the Long Eyebrow True Man quickly ran to a pavilion to take shelter from the rain.
“Old thing, with such a heavy rain, do you think we can still see the alignment of the five stars？” Ye Qiu asked.
The Long Eyebrow True Man pinched his fingers and said, “Don’t worry. The poor Taoist has calculated that the heavy rain will stop in three minutes.”
Soon, three minutes passed.
Not only did the heavy rain not stop, but it became even heavier. The raindrops hit the ground, making a popping sound.
At the same time, above the nine heavens, the thunder rumbled continuously, like dense drumbeats.
Ye Qiu reminded, “Old thing, it’s already three minutes.”
The Long Eyebrow True Man looked calm： “Don’t worry. The poor Taoist guarantees that in another three minutes, the heavy rain will definitely stop.”
Another three minutes passed.
Ye Qiu reminded again： “Old thing, the heavy rain still hasn’t stopped.”
The Long-browed True Man said： “In another three minutes, the heavy rain will definitely stop.”
Time passed quietly.
Ye Qiu said： “Old thing, the rain has been falling for thirty minutes. How about you calculate again when this rain will stop？”
“You little brat, can you stop talking so much nonsense? I’m almost crazy by you.” At this time, the Long-browed True Man could not remain calm longer. and there was a hint of anxiety between his brows.
If the heavy rain keeps falling, then the spectacle of the five stars in a row will definitely not be seen. If the five stars in a row don’t appear then the treasure will naturally not be revealed.
”The ancestors of Longhu Mountain through the generations, you must bless your disciple. I hope this rain will stop soon. Please…”
The Long-browed True Man put his hands together and prayed over and over again in his mouth.
I don’t know if the ancestors of Longhu Mountain through the generations were spiritual in heaven, or if the Long-browed True Man’s prayer was heard by the heavens. A few minutes later, the heavy rain really stopped.
”Little brat, I said the heavy rain would stop. Now you believe it, right？” The Long-browed True Man said with a smile on his face.
After the heavy rain stopped, countless stars appeared in the sky again, and the crescent moon was like a hook.
A gentle breeze blew, and the water waves did not rise.
Leisurely and comfortable.
Time continued to pass, and as it got closer to midnight, the Long-browed True Man’s face gradually became tense.
Eleven thirty at night.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew up.
The whistling wind, like a blade, blew on people’s faces, causing extremely painful stings.
Subsequently, strange phenomena began to occur in the Yi River.
The calm water surface rolled without any sign, just like boiling water.
This situation lasted for approximately five minutes, and then, thousands upon thousands of carp emerged on the water surface.
These carp were only about one foot long, dense and numerous. They swam upstream, and the scene was very spectacular.
Above the Yi River, there is a bridge called Longmen Bridge, which connects the east and west mountains.
When these carp swam upstream to Longmen Bridge, suddenly the waves were monstrous, and tens of thousands of carp actually left the water surface, one after another, and leaped over Longmen Bridge.
”This is… the carp leaping over the dragon gate！”
The Long-browed True Man stood up and said excitedly with a full face： “The great poet Li Bai once wrote in the poem ‘Presented to Cui Daiyu’： The three-foot carp in the Yellow River originally lived in Mengjin. It failed to become a dragon after hitting its forehead and returned to accompany the ordinary fish.”
”According to legend, after Dayu controlled the floods, the carp in Mengjin County, Luoyang swam upstream along the Luo River and the Yi River. When they reached Longmen, the wind and waves suddenly rose. The carp intended to climb over. Those that jumped over became dragons, and those that didn’t would have a black scar on their foreheads.”
“The carp leaping over the dragon gate is an extremely auspicious omen. Since ancient times, all those who have witnessed the carp leaping over the dragon gate have had good luck.
“It seems that this time, I will surely obtain the peerless and rare treasure！”
Ye Qiu was also somewhat shocked. He had always heard of the saying of a carp leaping over the dragon gate before, but unexpectedly, he saw it with his own eyes today.
What’s more coincidentally, this is the Longmen (Dragon Gate)！
There are countless carp in the Yi River, crossing the Longmen in groups. The strange phenomenon has not stopped yet, and another strange phenomenon occurs.
I saw that the lotus flowers in the water grew flower buds at a visible speed and bloomed quickly.
In a very short time, tens of thousands of lotus flowers bloomed on the Yi River, and the fragrance was so overwhelming.
You know, it is now the fourth lunar month, and it is not the season for lotus flowers to bloom at all.
“Strange phenomena appear one after another. It seems that the old thing didn’t tell a lie. There is a treasure being born here.”
Just as Ye Qiu thought of this, suddenly, bursts of Buddhist chants came from the east and west mountains. The Buddha statues in those grottoes suddenly shone brightly, and each stone-carved Buddha statue was like being cast from gold.
In an instant, the strong Buddhist light illuminated both banks, and this place seemed to have become a Buddhist country.
“The Buddha’s light shines everywhere！ This is the Buddha’s light shining everywhere！”
The Long-browed True Man jumped up excitedly like a child and said, “When the Buddha’s light shines everywhere, there must be a heavy treasure showing up. Now we just need to wait for the five stars to align.”
Ye Qiu looked at the time. There were still more than ten seconds before midnight, and he silently counted down in his heart.
Ten seconds, nine seconds, eight seconds,
seven seconds…
three seconds
two seconds, one second…
Boom！
Suddenly, the crescent moon in the sky became big and round in an instant, extremely bright and pure.
Almost at the same time, five star-sized stars appeared in the northern sky, arranged in a straight line, extremely dazzling, covering the light of other stars.
The five stars are in a row！
Ye Qiu’s heart trembled, and his eyes swept around. “The five stars are in a row, and the treasure should appear soon, right？”
Just then, another vision appeared in the Yi River.
Hua la la——
The river water rolled violently, and several zhang-high waves appeared. Then, these waves changed into two hundred-zhang-long water dragons.
The two water dragons are lifelike, with dragon horns, dragon heads, dragon eyes, dragon beards, dragon claws, and dragon tails…
Everything is complete.
Lifelike.
They swim side by side, sometimes intertwined and sometimes separated, as if playing in the water.
When the two water dragons swam to the Longmen Bridge, they stopped advancing, and the two huge dragon heads looked up at the sky and let out a dragon roar at the same time.
“Ang——”
The dragon roar shook the sky and shocked the mountains and rivers.
Suddenly, a ball of bright white light appeared in the Yi River.
