151.Guisui Town and the Dragon (1)

Shi Yuanji and his entourage left Haitang Town and headed all the way to the northeast, and their destination was Guisui Town in the east of the river.

**Riding on a horse, he was also holding a book in his hand, frowning, looking for something.

"Senior brother, what are you looking for?" Shi Yuanji did not alarm, but asked Yuanrang in a low voice.

Yuan Rang was a little surprised: "Yuan Ji, didn't you see the vision in the sky just now? The sky is full of red light, and even the sun is obscured." I don't know which god is manifest in the spirit, it's terrifying. ”

When the teacher saw it, he remembered that he had seen a similar celestial phenomenon in Feng Ho before. So I flipped through books everywhere, hoping to find a similar account. ”

How could it be found?" Shi Yuanji sneered.

"Got it?" Shi Yuanji asked with a calm face.

"No, I searched with the teacher, but the books were almost rotten, and I couldn't find them. Yuan Rang said regretfully.

Shi Yuanji sighed, thought about it, and suddenly said: "It seems that the era of mythology is about to come to the mortal world again, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Yuan Rang's eyes, and then he nodded and did not speak.

"The myth is back, the myth is back. Putting down the book, he whispered these four words, and after a long time, he reluctantly put the book back in the pocket on the horse's back.

Li Laiheng, who went to inquire about the news, rushed back at a gallop in front of him, and said with a smile: "It's almost Guisui Town in front, and many people are gathering today, it seems to be a temple fair." ”

Yuan Rang is a young man after all, and when he heard the excitement, he was very curious: "What temple fair?

Li Laiheng said casually: "It seems to be worshipping the dragon god, but the monster that the local government said looks like a big snake, and I didn't inquire carefully." But it's a pity that I can't eat the local specialty osmanthus cake, it's summer now, and the osmanthus hasn't bloomed yet. ”

"Dragon King?" Shi Yuanji muttered, and then said to **. "Teacher, I think we should go and have a look, maybe ask a few words, and we will really find the dragon. ”

**The expression is tangled, and I can't tell whether it's worry or seriousness. He hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Yuan Rang, Yuan Ji, you said that if the gods really return to the mortal world, what should we mortals do?"

Yuan Rang was asked by **, his brows furrowed, and he didn't speak for a long time. Shi Yuanji smiled bitterly: "Teacher, did you think of the myth of Nuwa?"

** nodded and said: "Yes, Nuwa mends the sky and saves the common people from fire and water, but Nuwa is nowhere to be seen after all." Now the myth is back, and as you said, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. ”

"If disaster strikes, what will we mortals do, and will there be no gods like Nuwa to help mortals? ”

Shi Yuanji was speechless, and asked himself, with his current strength, although it is a natural disaster, I am afraid that there are many masters among mortals who can be stronger than him, let alone a true god.

And the true god only sent a clone to Pangu Tian, and he didn't have the strength to deal with it. If the divine war starts, he may only be able to protect himself.

"You people are really boring. Li Laiheng said with a big grin. "The gods don't know anything, they are afraid of this, they are afraid of that, how frustrating. ”

"When I was fighting on the battlefield, I never cared about it, he fought his, I fought mine. If the gods really want to exterminate us mortals, just beat him. People die and do not die for thousands of years. ”

**After listening to it, he didn't know what to say for a while. But Shi Yuanji laughed heartily after hearing this. He suddenly understood why Ouyang Xuan and the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny valued this person.

"That's right, that's right, I'm afraid of what he will do? I want to see what the god is like, starting with the so-called dragon god in Guisui Town. ”

With that, Shi Yuanji drove the old horse towards Guisui Town.

Along the way, the laurel forest stands up, the branches are luxuriant, and people come and go, so it is not lively. Shi Yuanji saw that the roadside was full of simple ancestral halls spontaneously made by the people, and in the ancestral halls, there were portraits of the dragon gods.

In the portrait, a large serpent with golden scales, antlers, and four claws looms in the clouds. Shi Yuanji rode on the old horse and looked at them one by one, and found that all the dragon god portraits were not much different.

Li Laiheng said in a low voice: "I was in a hurry just now, so I didn't look carefully." Now I have found out that the dragon gods in these portraits all look similar, could it be that they have really seen dragons?"

"It's also possible that it was painted by the same artist. Shi Yuanji carefully sensed the fluctuations of the mana around him, and did not notice the slightest abnormality. Therefore, with the attitude of research, another possibility was proposed.

"I'll take a look. Li Laiheng volunteered and drove his horse forward.

"Old Ma, have you noticed any strange aura?" Shi Yuanji whispered to the old horse under his crotch.

The old horse raised his head, snorted his nose, and after a moment shook his head in reply.

"In the book left by Master, it is said that there are all kinds of strange beasts in your hometown, Shuozhentian, including dragons. And where did this monster come from?"

Shi Yuanji jumped off his horse and whispered while looking at the ancestral halls around him.

"Our Shuo Zhentian has a peculiar cultivation method, when the cultivation reaches the limit, it will turn into a dragon. Lao Ma and Shi Yuanji saw that they were walking side by side and replied in a low voice.

"But how can there be so many true dragons? When I left Shuo Zhentian, there were only five true dragons. Now the situation in Pangu Heaven is changeable, and the gods are mixed, there are female Ying, Wang Shu, and Sky Wolf, so there is no need for them to get involved. ”

"Is that so?" Shi Yuanji asked. "It seems that these portraits were indeed painted by the same artist, otherwise the dragon god in the painting looks the same. ”

**He Yuanrang finally caught up with Shi Yuanji, and they also saw the simple small ancestral halls, and they also had doubts in their hearts.

"Yuanji, are the people of Guisui Town sacrificing to that god?" asked Yuanrang dismounted.

Shi Yuanji shook his head: "It is said to be the dragon god, and I don't know much about it." ”

Li Laiheng rode to Shi Yuanji's side, dismounted and said, "Master, I have inquired clearly, they are praying for rain." They all said that this dragon god is spiritual. ”

** smiled kindly: "Then you say, this dragon god is not spiritual." ”

"If you want me to say, it should be spiritual. Along the way, so many lands have been abandoned, but this Guisui Town, with clear mountains and clear waters, and all the fields are crops, and no one has fled the famine. Li Laiheng smiled and said with great certainty.

"Makes sense. ** nodded. "Let's go find an inn to stay in first, and then let's watch the ritual of praying for rain. ”

The four of them wanted to enter the city and find an inn to stay, but they were stopped by the soldiers at the city gate.

"If you're from out of town, pay first. The soldier guarding the gate said.

Li Laiheng was a little annoyed, and said angrily: "Why do you still pay the money? If you weren't wearing this skin, I would have thought you were a gangster who robbed the road and cut the path." ”

"If you love to make it, if you don't pay it, you will get out. Seeing this, an officer in fish scale armor drew his knife and stepped forward.

Yuan Rang blocked in front of Li Laiheng and started a round: "The military master is angry, how much money, we will pay." ”

The officer said in a strange manner: "One person has one penny, and one horse has one penny." ”

"You ......"

Li Laiheng was angry and was about to scold his mother, but was stopped by Shi Yuanji.

Shi Yuanji glanced at the others and said with a smirk: "Master Jun, excuse me." Then he took them with them and departed.

Since they couldn't enter the city, the group could only find a country inn outside the city to stay.

Li Laiheng was a little indignant, and scolded while returning his luggage in the room. Shi Yuanji smiled and looked at the scenery outside the window, and his thoughts flew to Guisui Town.

"Master, why aren't you angry?" Li Laiheng said dissatisfiedly.

"Don't you think it's strange? Even if the soldiers of the government want to make money, they won't collect one drop at a time, and few people can afford to pay it, right?"

Shi Yuanji looked out the window and said seductively.

After venting all the way, Li Laiheng is no longer angry. And Shi Yuanji's words woke him up and made him start thinking.

After all, he was older, well-informed, and also realized the problem: "Yuanji, that is, they just don't want outsiders to enter the city, not to make money?"

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Rang suddenly said, "It seems that there are secrets in the city that they don't want outsiders to know?"

"I'm just guessing that it may have something to do with the ritual of praying for rain. Shi Yuanji turned his head and looked at everyone and said.

There was a knock on the door outside the door, and it turned out to be Xiao Er who came to deliver tea. The little two smiled and began to entertain everyone: "A few guest officers, the tea is here." Although we are a small shop in the mountains, although the sparrows are small, there are all kinds of organs, if there is anything you want to eat and drink, you can tell us. ”

Shi Yuanji took the teapot and said kindly: "I heard that you have a dragon god in Guisui Town, who is very spiritual, I don't know where to worship?"

Xiao Er said: "This is simple, the road is full of the ancestral hall of the dragon god, you can worship whichever you want." ”

"The ancestral halls on the roadside are all obscene, I'm afraid I can't do it accurately, I don't know if there are any serious temples?" Shi Yuanji asked.

"Yes, it's just in the town, and you're not allowed to go in. Xiao Er sighed and said.

"Can't the locals enter?" asked Yuan Rang hurriedly.

Xiao Er lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "At the beginning, many people saw the appearance of the dragon god. Later, they didn't let it, and the locals and outsiders didn't let it. If you want to go into the city to do some business and do something, you have to have the investigation of the government office. ”

"Why is this?" Seeing Xiao Er's strange behavior, Yuan made his curiosity arouse.

"I don't know, anyway, I won't be allowed to enter the city without surveying now. It's going to be raining later, so if you want to see the excitement, just wait for the rain to stop. ”

Xiao Er packed up the tray and walked out of the guest room, and was called by the shopkeeper.

"What did the guest in the house ask, and what did you say?" asked the shopkeeper in a whisper.

"They wanted to worship the dragon god and asked me if I could go into the city and worship the dragon temple. Xiao Er is also honest, and said 1510.

The shopkeeper was a little angry and said, "How can you tell them that there is a temple of the dragon god in the city, what if they are from Haitang Town?"

"Aren't their guides from Feng Ho, tell them it's okay?" Xiao Er scratched his head and asked puzzled.

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "No, it's okay, you look at it, I'm going to pray for rain." With that, he turned around and went out.
