Chapter 1151: The Same Routine in Ancient and Modern Times
The south of the Tang Dynasty, Nanjun, Yindu, and Meishan County, these are the three adjacent counties of Datang and Dasui, and Dasui are across the river
In the hall of Nanshan Mansion, the capital of Nanjun County, the forest trees sit in the middle, and the county officials are lined up in two rows according to their ranks.
"Li Junshou, how many people have died now!" Lin Mu's face was expressionless, the momentum on his body was solidified, and the people who pressed him couldn't speak.
Under the left hand, a middle-aged man stood up, bronzed skin, dry and thin, but his eyes were very commanding, wearing a vermilion official mansion and a soft hat.
Nanjun County Guard, Li Bing!
"More than 3,000 people are missing now. ”
It's just missing, Li Bing can't be sure that it's dead, this responsibility is too big for him to bear, but in fact, this is the number reported below, not counting the previous disappearance.
This is a big case.
Because of natural disasters, although Li Bing is a county guard, he is busy with disaster relief, and he doesn't pay much attention to the disappearance of people in the jurisdiction.
In the desolate world, there was originally a demon clan, and it was not uncommon for people to disappear in ordinary times.
But this time, the number is extreme.
Recently, Nanjun was in Kaihe, disaster relief, and workers on the construction site dug up a pile of white skeleton corpses, a huge number.
Lin Mu sneered, "Are you still expecting those missing people to come back?"
Li Bing nodded: "That's what Xiaguan thinks, usually there are monsters nearby who come down the mountain to plunder the people, and what those monsters ask for is nothing more than some food, drink and cultivation items, as long as we hand over the things, they can also release the people back this time......"
Lin Mu knew that Li Bing was delusional: "Li Junshou, this is more than three thousand, this is within your one county, what about the three southern counties?
"I'll ask you, what do you think is the reason, monsters, where are the monsters?" Lin Mu gritted his teeth and said: "This is my territory in the Tang Dynasty, I didn't care about it before, but now my brother is the emperor, I am here, if a monster dares to hit the door, I will kill him!"
"The prince is mighty!"
"You don't need to shoot the fart, I'm here to do things, open the river and repair the canal, you are an expert, I don't care about you, it's my business to get rid of demons and subdue demons, you tell me now, which monster did this thing?"
"Maybe it's the monster on Changqing Mountain, most of the people who disappeared in the past came down from Changqing Mountain!"
Lin Mu nodded, and did not refute Li Bing: "You say yes!"
"Someone!"
With the sound of the woods, a strong man came in from outside the hall, extremely powerful and majestic, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his body was imposing.
"Duan Hu, take my personal guards and go to Changqing Mountain to eliminate demons!"
"Obey!" Duan Hu was born in the army, and after Lin Mu took charge of the army, he followed Lin Mu to practice, specializing in the killing Dao.
Lin Mu handed Duan Hu a rune: "Use it at a critical time!"
Li Bing looked at Duan Hu blankly and turned away, can you do it!
"Lord Wang, the monsters on Changqing Mountain are very powerful, General Duan is afraid that ....."
"Li Junshou, you underestimate Duan Hu, although he has not been practicing for a long time, he has already turned into a god, and now he has reached a bottleneck, this time is a test for him!" Lin Mu said.
After turning into a god, there is a cave void, that is, the cultivation of scattered immortals, Lin Mu is very painful, he has no problem with Lin Feng's cultivation at all, and now that he is a heavenly immortal, he doesn't feel how difficult it is to cultivate at all.
But ordinary people like Duan Hu had to cultivate from scratch, and Lin Mu also felt that it seemed very difficult for people in the desolate world to cultivate.
The aura of heaven and earth here is endless, and it is not comparable to the earth at all, but cultivation is unexpectedly difficult, and there are bottlenecks at every stage.
There are a lot of heroes in the Tang Dynasty, but the people who cultivate the Tao are all Daomen, and the level is not very good, Duan Hu, a god, is not a fart in the eyes of Lin Mu, but he is already a top master in Datang.
"Lord Wang, how to arrange other things, please show it to Lord Wang!" Li Bing thought for a while.
"Open the river, repair the canal, and work for relief, didn't I explain?" Lin Mu said with a smile.
As soon as he came to Nanjun, Li Bing asked for instructions, hoping that Lin Mu would ask for rain. This is really an ordinary thing in the Earth Immortal Realm, but Lin Mu directly refused

。
Li Bing couldn't figure it out, the immortals of the Lin family, that was the real immortals, asking for rain was not a problem at all, not only Lin Mu himself refused, but he also did not allow folk Taoist priests to ask for rain.
The affairs of the Terrans have to be dealt with by the Terrans themselves.
Lin Mu was too lazy to explain to Li Bing, what was his luck, and he would definitely do a good job of what his own Lao Tzu explained.
Li Bing arched his hand and said: "Opening the river and repairing the canal to provide relief to the lower officials naturally understands, but the prince, seeing that the drought continues, at this time, if there is a rain, the people can still grab the seeds so that they will not have no food after the autumn!"
Speaking of which, I still want the forest to ask for rain.
"County guard, I won't tell you the truth, I won't ask for rain!"
Lin Mu had a little headache, if he didn't know that this thing was Li Bing from Dujiangyan of the earth, Lin Mu would have wanted to kill someone.
As for how Li Bing got here, Lin Mu didn't know, and he didn't care.
Maybe he built Dujiangyan and became a god, and he was brought over by the way of heaven.
"Lord, don't ask for rain, but the people ....."
Lin Mu seemed to be smiling, Li Bing couldn't say any more, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and his cuffs were wet.
Li Bing raised his head, the officials around him looked down at the ground, he gritted his teeth and said, "The prince doesn't want to ask for rain, can you let those Taoist priests ask for rain?"
"You mean you want me to release him!"
Well, Lin Mu caught a lot of Taoist priests who begged for rain, and various Taoist temples came out, many of whom were liars.
He didn't care, after giving the order, someone broke the law and was arrested directly, and the cells in Nanjun were now full of Taoist priests, and the people scolded him one after another.
This style is completely Lin Feng's approach, it is father and son.
Li Bing nodded, and wanted to kneel, but halfway through his knees, he felt that he had something to support him, and he couldn't kneel.
This special code is Li Bing, don't care how he got to the earth immortal realm, but he is definitely a cow, a person with merit, how could Lin Mu let him kneel.
Glancing at the dead officials of Nanjun around them, Lin Mu waved them down.
"Li Junshou, sit!"
It seems that it is not good to say that it is not good, Lin Mu thought for a while, "County guard, do you know why I don't let the Taoist priest ask for rain, and I don't care if the people live or die!"
You are the king,
Li Bing was a little confused, you are sick, who knows? Sitting on the chair, Li Bing is not calm, asking for rain in a big drought, this is a good routine.
"I came to Nanjun for disaster relief, and when I left Chang'an, my father told me that this time for disaster relief, you can't use mana. ”
Li Bing was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect it: "......What does the emperor mean?"
"Didn't I make it clear?"
"Eh, the lower officials don't know the essentials, why? Asking for rain in a drought is the same before, you only need the Dragon King once," Li Bing thought, could it be that the Lin royal family is unwilling to bow down to the Dragon King of the East China Sea?
Asking for rain doesn't have to look for the dragon king, it's the same as praying from heaven.
Sure enough, Lin Mu's answer did not disappoint Li Bing.
"What my Lao Tzu meant, it's easy for him to find the Dragon King, just say hello, but he doesn't want to fight. ”
"Why? It's not because we're embarrassed and unwilling to bow our heads, we don't do this kind of pretending thing, but through this incident, we want to prove to God that man will win the sky!"
Lin Mu sneered in his heart, there was a great drought in the Tang Dynasty, but the Great Sui on the opposite side was smooth and rainy, just across a river, could there be no problem here?
The dragon king is bullish, and he has to listen to heaven, and the disaster of the Tang Dynasty is not guaranteed by heaven.
Lin Ping'an is the Ninety-Five Venerable recognized by Heaven.
"This matter is not as simple as the county guard thinks, the county guard thinks about it, has there been such a drought disaster in Nanjun before?"
Li Bing shook his head: "Nanjun, and the other two counties, close to the big river, are the southern granary of my Datang, the wind and rain are smooth year after year, even if there are occasional disasters, it is also a flood, but this year it is a drought is really strange!"
"That's right, there must be something here!" Lin Mu smiled.
"What's the matter?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"Some people are not happy to see our Datang!"
"Did the prince mean the Great Sui?"
", that's a ball, those turtle grandsons of Da Sui have already beaten me down, didn't Lin Feng and I them once last year, those are all grandsons, of course they don't like Datang, but I can care about them!"
Li Bing was speechless, Datang's combat power in recent years was really terrifying: "The prince is mighty!"
"Sycophant!
Lin Mu laughed: "I'm not talking about people, it's about immortals!"
"Immortals?"
"That's right!" Lin Mu nodded: "This time the drought came so suddenly, there is no reason, can ordinary people do it?"
"Can Heavenly Court not know? Don't they have tailwind ears and clairvoyance? I have three counties in the south, and there are tens of millions of people, and when I encounter this kind of catastrophe, I don't think it's strange that Heavenly Court has no reaction at all, so I have to send a god over to condole!"
Didn't it say in Journey to the West, there are Xingjun on duty every day in the sky, and Lin Mu has not seen any of them.
Lin Mu said patiently: "So, they don't care if we do it ourselves, if we do it well, it's our own business, take care of those fairy!"
"Lord Wang, don't respect the gods, this is not good!"
"Hehe, immortals are farts, and people who don't become saints are ants!"
You're also a fairy, right?
Li Bing was speechless, and decided to hurry up and run away, "Xiaguan, there are also official business, Lord Wang, if there are no other orders, Xiaguan will leave first!"
"Well, let's go, those Taoist monks, don't let them go secretly!" Lin Mu said.
Hearing Lin Mu's words, Li Bing almost fell, he really planned to release him secretly.
As soon as Li Bing left, Lin Mu changed into a young scholar and left the county government.
The streets outside were sparsely populated and decadent, with the sun overhead, and the temperature was even more terrifying than the earthly summer.
Lin Mu walked along the street for a while, and saw someone with a white sail hanging on the door, who was doing a funeral, Nanjun County Government, there are many such people, the old man did not survive because of the hot weather, and more family members are missing.
Lin Mu looked at it for a while, his face was cold, he clasped his hands tightly, and listened to the crying sound from the long street.
A group of people suddenly rumbled over. Lin Mu was surprised, grabbed one of them and asked, "What are you doing?"
This person looked around, didn't see any officials and soldiers around, and whispered: "This brother, go to the west of the city, the Taoist chief of the Immortal Temple, ask for rain, let's go too, there are many people and great strength, go over and help the Taoist chief!"
"I understand the Taoist priest begging for rain, but what is the use of you and I as ordinary people in the past?"
"Hehe, hey, brother Tai, who doesn't know the current Nanjun, Prince Lin won't let him ask for rain, the Taoist of the Immortal Temple can't bear to see the people suffering, so he plans to ask for rain, although I won't ask for rain, but I can also make a contribution, and when the officials and soldiers come, I can help stop it!"
"......" Lin Mu has a sense of déjà vu that he has become the villain of the Great Demon King.
"Brother, let's go!" the man pulled Lin Mu and left without saying a word.
In the west of Nanshan County, there is a small hill, and there are no less than 1,000 people on the road, men, women and children, all of them, and there are even people with their whole families, and the momentum is huge.
Lin Mu and the same person dressed as a scholar walked for a while and arrived at the place, in the open space under the hill in the western suburbs, there were already people building a high platform, there were Taoist priests maintaining order, and the common people surrounded the high platform and prayed sincerely.
Lin Mu's face was expressionless, and when he walked over, there was a merit box next to the Taoist priest, and all the people who came to ask for rain spontaneously threw money into the merit box.
After a while, the kung fu box was full, and the Taoist priest changed to a new one.
"Everyone line up, all those who ask for rain, one hundred wen per person, this is not for the mage, but for the dragon king. ”
"Now that there is a great drought, I will ask for rain to buy sacrifices and sacrifice to the Dragon King, everyone remember, this money is for the Dragon King!"
This is even an excuse to make money, and the routine is really the same in ancient and modern times.
