Chapter 079: Sweet Water Dragon King
After a while, Uncle Zhou had already made the lunch, Li Maicheng, Wu Zhaoxin, and Zhang Qian helped set up the tables and chairs in the courtyard, and then Bai Ruoxue and Jin Xiqing helped put the dishes on the table.
Gradually, those dishes were ready, Li Maicheng and the soldiers of the mission sat down one by one, and then began to eat delicious dishes.
Wu Zhaoxin took out a jar of wine and gave it to Li Maicheng, and they drank it upside down.
Wu Zhaoxin raised his wine glass and stood up and said, "Brothers, I will first toast you for the people of Suping Town, thank you for your willingness to help us rain here." ”
Li Maicheng also stood up and said, "Brother Wu, you're polite, we should also toast you and Uncle Zhou, thank you for your warm hospitality and stay here." ”
Wu Zhaoxin said: "Brother Maicheng, I won't tell you, over the years, the people of Suping Town have thought of various methods, inviting witches, burning incense, sacrifices, and thinking of various methods, but the rain still hasn't fallen, but the drought has been dry." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Brother Wu, don't worry, my junior brother Su Chengxuan has already gone to invite the Dragon King of the North Sea, he will rain here when he comes, and it will rain here for a while." ”
Brother Wu said: "That's good, then let's have a toast together, I wish our Suping Town a smooth wind and rain in the future, a bumper harvest of grains, and the health of the people." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, then let's have a toast together." ”
Then the people sitting there stood up one by one, holding their wine glasses and drinking bitterly.
After drinking the wine from the glasses, they sat down and ate the dishes on the table, and saw that they were chicken, fish, duck, mutton, and beef. One by one, they ate with relish.
While eating, Li Maicheng said: "Brother Wu, today I went to Mingxiu Mountain near here with a few of my junior brothers and sisters, there is a Mingxu Pavilion there, do you know the head of Tu Hangu inside?"
Wu Zhaoxin said while holding the dishes: "Brother Maicheng, I know him, everyone in our Suping Town knows him, he is our savior, if he hadn't sold the water from the dew spring to our people, we would have died of thirst." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Brother Wu, do you know why the dew spring hasn't dried up over the years?"
Wu Zhaoxin wiped his mouth and said: "That Mingxiu Mountain itself is very damp, and the dew spring there used to be the drinking water of those swordsmen in the Xuxu Pavilion, maybe it was because they dug the dew spring very deep back then, so the water there has not dried up over the years." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, by the way, Brother Wu, do you know what monsters you have in this area of Suping Town?"
Wu Zhaoxin scratched his head and said, "Brother Maicheng, I haven't heard of monsters, but there are bandits here, and there are often ordinary people who are looted by bandits and thieves in the mountains. After all, there is only water in Mingxiu Mountain in this town, and some ordinary people can't afford to buy that water, and they don't have anything to eat when the weather is dry, so they have to go up the mountain to be a thief. ”
Li Maicheng said: "Brother Wu, then do you know where those bandits' stockades are?"
Wu Zhaoxin pointed to the mountain in the distance to the north and said: "Brother Maicheng, you look north, that Huangque Mountain is the foothold of those bandits, to be honest, our Yamen has dealt with them a lot in recent years, as soon as the people's property was robbed, then they reported to the official, and we were immediately sent to Huangque Mountain to suppress the bandits, but there were too many bandits, and when our Yamen caught them quickly, they would also suffer heavy casualties, and they withdrew from there." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Brother Wu, do you know what the names of those bandit leaders are?"
Wu Zhaoxin said: "The leader of the bandits is called King Queshan, he has a scar on his face, a long beard, he is very strong, eight feet tall, and he can fly, his kung fu is very powerful." ”
Li Maicheng was surprised when he heard this: "Brother Wu, you said that he can fly, then he may be a cultivator, or he may be a monster." ”
Wu Zhaoxin said: "Maybe, anyway, the martial arts of the Que Mountain King are quite high." ”
So many of them gathered around the table, eating the sumptuous luncheon, drinking wine, and after they were full of wine and food, Wu Zhaoxin still had an errand to do, so he left first.
And Li Maicheng and Wu Shitong were in the courtyard, sitting there, chatting and waiting for Su Chengxuan to come back.
Li Maicheng and they stayed in that courtyard for an afternoon, and when the day was about to set, Su Chengxuan came with the Dragon King of the North Sea.
Seeing this, Li Maicheng went over to greet Su Chengxuan and the Dragon King of the North Sea, and he said: "Senior Brother Chengxuan, you have worked hard, Beihai is a long way, it is not easy for you to fly one day to invite your uncle the Dragon King of the North Sea." ”
Su Cheng said: "Senior brother, it's nothing, as long as our dragon clan can help this Suping Town to successfully rain, I will rest assured." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Yes, you are all dragons, and the rain is easy for you." ”
The Dragon King of Beihai said: "Brother Maicheng, I can't let this rain fall casually, in this area of Suping Town, the Dragon King of Ganshui is responsible for the rain, he is the Dragon King assigned by God to be responsible for the rain in this area, we will visit him in his Dragon Palace and invite him to come here to rain." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, then let's set off now and visit the Ganshui Dragon King." ”
The Dragon King of the North Sea said, "That's good." ”
Then Li Maicheng, Koi Monster, Su Chengxuan, Wu Shitong, and the Dragon King of the North Sea flew up from the courtyard and went to the Dragon Palace of the Dragon King of Ganshui.
And Zhou Xiaotian, the giant ape monster, Bai Ruoxue, and Jin Xiqing stayed at Uncle Zhou's house to protect Master Zhang Qian and the soldiers of the mission.
Li Maicheng and Su Chengxuan were flying in the sky, and at this time the sky was already dark, the sky was full of stars, and the moon was so round and so bright.
The Dragon King of the North Sea said while flying in the sky: "Maicheng, the Ganshui Dragon Palace is fifty miles away from this Suping Town, and we will fly in the clouds and fog for a while. ”
Li Maicheng said: "That's good, Beihai Dragon King." ”400
In the night sky, there was a meteor suddenly, it was so beautiful, the moonlight was bright, Li Maicheng and they soared through the clouds, flew over the fields, the mountains, and finally came to the bank of the Ganshui River.
When he arrived at the Ganshui River, the Dragon King of the North Sea found that the Ganshui River had dried up, and the dragon palace at the bottom of the river had emerged.
The Dragon King of the North Sea led Li Maicheng and Su Cheng to the outside of the Ganshui Dragon Palace, only to see that there were a few crab soldiers and shrimp guards here.
The Dragon King of the North Sea said to the crab soldiers guarding the door: "Crab soldiers, I am the Dragon King of the North Sea, go and tell the Dragon King of Ganshui, I want to see him." ”
The crab soldier saw that the Dragon King of the North Sea had a dragon head on his head, two horns on his head, and a beard on his face, and he was afraid of offending him, so he said flatteringly: "Dragon King of the North Sea, you have a short rest at this gate, and I will go to tell the Dragon King of Ganshui." ”
Then the crab soldier entered the Dragon Palace and went to report to the Ganshui Dragon King.
After a while, the Ganshui Dragon King came out, and when he saw the Beihai Dragon King here, he greeted him and said flatteringly: "Beihai Dragon King, please come inside, Xiaoxian will pour tea for you." ”
The Dragon King of the North Sea saw that this Ganshui Dragon King seemed to have changed as a person, he used to know the Ganshui Dragon King, he was upright, when did he learn to flatter, he asked the Ganshui Dragon King in surprise: "Ganshui Dragon King, have you gone to Suping Town to rain recently." ”
The Ganshui Dragon King thought for a while and said, "Beihai Dragon King, I have rain in Suping Town, the wind and rain there have been smooth all these years, so it's good." ”
The Dragon King of the North Sea was very angry when he heard this, and said angrily: "Ganshui Dragon King, what are you talking nonsense? I have just come from Suping Town, and there has been a great drought there for several years. ”
The Ganshui Dragon King found that the Beihai Dragon King was very angry, and said justifiably: "Beihai Dragon King, I'm sorry, I can't remember clearly, or I'll go to Nasuping Town with you tomorrow to have a look." ”
The Dragon King of the North Sea said: "That's pretty much it, then we won't go back tonight, let's stay in your Dragon Palace for one night." ”
The Ganshui Dragon King nodded and said, "Okay, Beihai Dragon King, Xiaoxian will arrange for the crab soldiers and shrimp generals to prepare a good room for you to live in, and then prepare some food for you." ”
The Dragon King of the North Sea said: "Okay, my nephew and I are tired after a day of flying, and I want to go back to the room to rest first, you can let those crab soldiers and shrimp bring dinner to each of our rooms." ”
Ganshui Dragon King said: "Okay, I'll order the crab soldiers to do it." ”
Then those crab soldiers and shrimp generals led Li Maicheng and them to live one by one, they ate something in their respective rooms, and then fell asleep.
After a night, the sky gradually brightened, Li Maicheng ate something, and flew to Suping Town with the Ganshui Dragon King.
A few of them soared through the clouds and fog, flew over the mountains, the fields, and finally flew over Suping Town.
And the people who were sacrificing and praying for rain in Nasuping Town looked at the sky and saw the Dragon King of Beihai and the Dragon King of Ganshui, and they shouted happily and excitedly: "The Dragon King has appeared, the Dragon King has appeared......"
And there is a statue of the dragon king on the sacrificial platform, the dragon king of the North Sea flew down from the sky, landed on the sacrificial platform, and suddenly those ordinary people knelt down and kowtowed one by one, while kowtowing, while shouting: "God has appeared, God has appeared......"
And the Ganshui Dragon King and Li Maicheng also flew down from the sky, and the Dragon King of the North Sea said to the kneeling people: "Ordinary people, you have suffered, you have suffered from the great drought in the past few years, you lack water and food, and you are living a poor life, today we are here to give you rain, you can rest assured, it will definitely rain for you today." ”
Those ordinary people kowtowed excitedly when they heard this, and shouted one by one: "Thank you Dragon King, thank you Dragon King......"
Then the Dragon King of the North Sea said to the Dragon King of Ganshui: "Dragon King of Ganshui, go and rain quickly, you are in charge of this area, I can't rain casually." ”
The Ganshui Dragon King nodded and said, "Obey, Beihai Dragon King, Xiaoxian will go to rain." ”
Then the Ganshui Dragon King chanted a spell in the sky, waving his hands and beating around, but there was no movement in the sky, not even thunder and lightning.
The Dragon King of the North Sea looked bad and shouted to the Dragon King of Ganshui: "Dragon King of Ganshui, will it rain on you, even the rain will not fall, are you still worthy of being the Dragon King of this area?"
The Dragon King of the Sweet Water lowered his head and said, "Dragon King of the North Sea, I'm sorry, I forgot about the rain. ”
Hearing this, the Dragon King of the North Sea said angrily: "Ganshui Dragon King, will you or not, so many people are watching, you should hurry up and rain." ”
The Ganshui Dragon King was so frightened that he was sweating profusely and said, "Beihai Dragon King, you give me another chance, and I'll try again." ”
Then the Ganshui Dragon King began to chant the incantation again, waving his sword and waving it around, and the Dragon King of the North Sea found that the method of raining the Ganshui Dragon King was wrong, and shouted to the Ganshui Dragon King: "Ganshui Dragon King, come down quickly, don't be embarrassed here." ”
Li Maicheng saw that this felt wrong, and said to the Dragon King of the North Sea: "Dragon King of the North Sea, this Dragon King of Ganshui is not fake, it feels very strange." ”
The Dragon King of the North Sea was also suspicious when Li Maicheng said that, and said to the Dragon King of Ganshui: "Dragon King of Ganshui, you have transformed into a dragon form, I will take a look." ”
When the Ganshui Dragon King heard this, he said hesitantly: "Beihai Dragon King, this is not good, there are so many ordinary people here, transforming into a dragon will frighten them." ”
The Dragon King of the North Sea said: "Ganshui Dragon King, if I let you change, you will change, don't talk nonsense." ”
When the Ganshui Dragon King heard that the sweat on his head was even more, he began to panic and was at a loss.
Seeing this, Li Maicheng even more suspected that this Ganshui Dragon King was fake.
