Chapter 23 Thousands of miles of terracotta, the people are not happy

"He is going in this direction, it should be going to Taiyu Prefecture, let's follow first, and weigh what he is talking about. ”

As he spoke, Bai Chengbi had a gloomy face and led everyone to chase after Su Jingchen and the others.

In the Shenhuang Emperor Dynasty, the administrative region was divided into six levels: state, government, county, county, town, and village, and the shackles of heaven and earth, and the smallest area covered was the county.

According to the rules of the Open Heaven Divine Temple, the county-level Heaven and Earth Shackles are the responsibility of the first- and second-order palace priests who have just entered the temple, and the fifth-order high-level palace priests of the Holy King Realm like him usually participate in the opening of the heavens of the shackles of heaven and earth at the prefecture level, or preside over the affairs of the opening of the heavens at the county level.

He has always had a very high self-esteem, and the foundation of the Holy King is far stronger than that of ordinary fifth-order palace priests, so he feels that it is completely overkill to let him preside over the opening of a county-level shackle.

What's more, if he is responsible for the battle with Su Jingchen, if he wins, he deserves it, and he may not have a lot of rewards, but if he loses, it is a big mistake, and he will be responsible for a series of bad consequences, and he will naturally be very unhappy in his heart.

In addition, he had a bad relationship with the captain who assigned this task, so he naturally felt that the captain gave him small shoes to wear, and he was even more unhappy in his heart.

So even with it, he was also full of resentment towards Su Jingchen, how could he hear someone say good things about Su Jingchen.

When Su Jingchen and the two drove to Jiao County, it was already evening.

Entering the territory of Jiaoxian, the speed was slowed down, and as far as the eye could see, it was full of red scorched earth, and all the streams had dried up.

In the field, eighty percent of the trees have died, the grass on the ground has dried up, and the crops in the fields have long been lost.

Even though it was evening, the air was still filled with a scorching heatwave, which made people feel bored for no reason.

"I don't know how many people will starve to death in such a drought. ”

Looking at the barren scene in front of him, the little slave couldn't help but say with a sad face.

Having grown up in the countryside and suffering since childhood, she understands what such a drought means to the local people, and she can empathize with their suffering.

"Don't be sad, everything will be fine. ”

Su Jingchen comforted softly, and then put the Nine Dragons Treasure into the Qingyu wrench, and rushed to the north of Jiao County with the little slave.

Although the shackles of heaven and earth envelop the entire heaven and earth, there is a core area, and this core area is often located on the famous mountains and rivers with the strongest aura of heaven and earth in this region.

The core of the shackles of heaven and earth in Jiaoxian County is located on the top of Chiquan Mountain in the north, and now Su Jingchen is rushing to Chiquan Mountain with the little slave.

"What a run-down town. ”

When Su Jingchen took her to fly over the county seat of Jiaoxian County, he saw that there were all low and dilapidated shacks below, and there were only a few blue brick and black tile houses, and the little slave's heart couldn't help but be even heavier.

The county seat of Jiaoxian County is much worse than the county seat of her hometown, which shows that even if there is no disaster, the people here are much more miserable than the villagers in their hometown.

Reborn for hundreds of millions of lifetimes, Su Jingchen had never seen any kind of suffering, and he didn't have much feeling about it, so he continued to rush to Chiquan Mountain with the little slave, and at the foot of Chiquan Mountain, a well-decorated inn stayed.

On Chiquan Mountain, there is a red spring gushing out of the cliff cave, which is the only stable water source in Jiao County, so in the eyes of the people of Jiao County, Chiquan Mountain is the holy land of Lingshan in their minds.

There are a lot of temples built on the mountain, usually many people come to burn incense and make wishes, and there are also many outsiders who come here, so this inn is the best in the whole Jiao County.

After staying down, he took out some wine and food from the green jade wrench and ate dinner, Su Jingchen continued to refine the emperor's essence in the room, and the little slave was already very tired after a day's drive, so he went to bed early.

"Knock knock!

"Ask the blessing of the god of Chiquan Mountain of all saints and all souls, bless the dawn people of my Jiao County, rain down as soon as possible, and eliminate disasters and misfortunes......"

The next morning, as soon as Su Jingchen and the others woke up, they heard the sound of gongs and drums outside, and listened carefully, mixed with extremely pious prayers.

It can be heard that this is the officials and people of Jiao County organizing prayers for rain.

"Let's go, little slave, let's go see. ”

Knowing that the little slave wanted to go and see the excitement, after the two of them washed up briefly, Su Jingchen beckoned to the little slave.

Then the two walked out of the inn.

The inn is located next to the only main road leading to Chiquan Mountain, and at this time, a huge rain prayer procession is holding flags and rattling bells along the main road to pray.

Although the rain prayer flags they made are not very tall and gorgeous, they are also very exquisite, and the magic bells are also made of red gold.

The people who could hold the banner and rattle the bell were all skinny, unclothed, with chapped lips and sluggish eyes, which was in stark contrast to these glamorous ritual weapons.

Obviously, most of them have not eaten or drunk for a long time, and the Chiquan River, the only small river in Jiao County to the west of the main road, has now dried up and cut off.

"Your Majesty, they are so pitiful, why don't we help them. ”

The little slave was soft-hearted, and saw some children with chapped lips, walking barefoot on the hot main road, praying with the adults with difficulty but sensibly, and rarely opened his mouth to ask Su Jingchen.

Su Jingchen touched the little slave's head and said comfortingly: "Don't be sad, little slave, we are here to help them." ”

He is right, breaking the shackles of heaven and earth will greatly improve the natural conditions of Jiao County, and will fundamentally solve the problem of multiple disasters and poverty in Jiao County.

The officials and people of Jiao County did not know that the great savior had come, and they were still praying sincerely, even though they were obviously thirsty and hungry, and even their vision was a little blurred, they were still meticulously doing the ritual of praying for rain.

As the prayer for rain progressed, the sun rose higher and higher, and the scorching sun shone on the scorched earth, turning the whole heaven and earth into a huge oven.

"Poof!

Many people have been hungry and thirsty for several days, and the consumption of praying for rain is so great that they can still bear it, and when it is close to noon, people keep fainting from heat stroke, and many of them are still young children.

The people next to him wanted to rescue, but found that they couldn't save them at all, so they could only tearfully carry the fainted people to a cool place and put them down, take the magic weapons in their hands, and continue to pray for rain.

"Your Majesty, let's save them. ”

Su Jingchen was used to seeing life and death and disasters, and there was not much turmoil in his heart, and the little slave pleaded with tears.

"Okay, these spiritual fluids, you go and feed them, and they should be fine. ”

Su Jingchen didn't want the little slave to be so sad, so he put the elixir transformed by the little Gu Huan's life essence into a pot of water and handed it to the little slave.

The little slave was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the "spiritual liquid" and ran to the nearest "corpse", not even bothering to thank Su Jingchen.

"Hmph, why bother pretending? If you really want to save people, why not just break the shackles on the mountain?"

The little slave was anxiously trying to save people, and a strange sound of yin and yang suddenly sounded in the rear, and it was Bai Chengbi who led the people of the Open Heaven Temple to rush over.

He relied on himself to be a Saint King Realm, and he didn't take Su Jingchen too seriously at all.
