Pray for rain?

Tsing Yi followed the prestige, and happened to see the white-bearded old man pounce on him with a surprised face, and hugged a big tripod in his arms on all fours.

The big tripod, known as the Prayer for Rain, is made of bronze. The flat edge is folded outward, the double ears are slightly skimmed outward, the melt surface is round, the hooves and feet of the beast, the height of the top is three feet seven inches, the diameter is one foot square, the abdominal diameter is six inches and three points, and the visual weight can reach more than 200 catties. The inner surface of the ear is decorated with flowing cloud patterns, the outer surface is decorated with dragon gods wearing cloud patterns, all kinds of water-resistant spiritual objects are interspersed among them, and the abdomen is decorated with a round of stealing curved patterns, and the whole body is waxy, and the golden is extraordinarily dazzling.

The white-bearded old man stuck to Ding's body like a dog's skin plaster, and he couldn't wrap it all around, which showed that his size was quite large.

The rest of the Taoists were stunned for a moment, and when they saw the white-bearded old man holding the big ding and talking to himself, they showed a look of surprise in hindsight.

"Senior brother, is this what the master wants?" The Taoists swarmed up, directly surrounding the white-bearded old man and the big ding in his arms.

"Although Master didn't say it explicitly, he had already reminded me that I would understand it as soon as I saw the treasure." The white-bearded old man shook his hands and rubbed the intricate lines on the rain tripod back and forth, and said with certainty, "As soon as I saw this tripod, a voice told me that what we were looking for was that it was correct!" ”

"Great!" Everyone clapped their hands happily and said, "Since the things have been obtained, what are we waiting for?" Hurry up and go back to your life! ”

As soon as he heard the juniors shouting to go back, the white-bearded old man who was still immersed in joy immediately changed his expression. He let go of his hands and feet, straightened up slightly, and then tapped his fingers lightly on Ding's body.

The thick body of the ding trembled a few times, and the dull tom sound swirled repeatedly from the ding, and finally gradually disappeared from the strong to the weak.

Tsing Yi put one hand on Hei Saburo's chest, and touched his ear back and forth with the other, although the sound of the old Taoist priest knocking on Qi Yuding was not loud, but after she listened to it, she felt that the muffled sound in her ears was still echoing.

Hei Saburo seemed to be aware of it and reached out and gently brushed it behind Tsing Yi's ear, and Tsing Yi felt that the echo had completely disappeared.

The white-bearded old man was still tossing and turning, and he even found a few unknown charms and pasted them on the pillar one by one, and tried to raise the tripod with his bare hands. However, this prayer rain tripod is too cumbersome, and he is a powerless old man, so he really can't shake it in the slightest.

The white-bearded old man who failed to lift the tripod turned red and gasped: "I'm afraid it won't work, this tripod is too heavy, even if everyone goes up together, you can only lift this tripod up, if you want to carry it back to Lin'an, it is impossible!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Hu Ji with a tense face, as if he hoped that Hu Ji would take the initiative to help.

However, what kind of character Hu Ji is, ordinary monsters take the initiative to post them as slaves and servants, he still has to filter them according to their appearance, slightly ugly guys, he just can't look at them a second time, not to mention the expectation of a dying old man like a white-bearded old man!

"You've found it, but whether you can take it away depends on whether you pay enough price!" Hu Ji gently stirred up the wide sleeved robe, and the slightly picked peach blossom eyes were full of cold light, and those who knew him well knew that he was already a little impatient.

The white-bearded old man secretly gritted his teeth when he heard this, and after struggling for a while, he still reached out and felt a small box in his arms.

Speaking of which, the box was also a bit peculiar, obviously it didn't look big, but as soon as the white-bearded old man opened the seal on the box, it suddenly became larger.

Tsing Yi watched as the other party opened the box and took out a palm-sized jade from it. It's just that to Tsing Yi's surprise, it was just a jade that was as green as blue, warm and lustrous, but it emitted an extremely brilliant golden light in this stone room. Look at its four inches in circumference, and it seems to be a very valuable thing.

"It seems that this group of Taoist priests is not small." Hei Saburo whispered in Tsing Yi's ear, "That is the jade seal of the mortal human emperor, which contains the luck of the human emperor, and it is just a heavy thing for the human emperor." They can come up with this thing, which shows that the characters behind them are either human emperors or important ministers who can get close to the jade seal. ”

“…… The emperor of the people is so dignified, what do you do to ask people to come to the land of three ways to get things? Tsing Yi was puzzled and said, "I don't know much about the ...... of emperors in the mortal world."

Hei Saburo chuckled twice when he heard this, Tsing Yi didn't know more than that, she didn't know more, but he didn't say it, just touched Tsing Yi's head with a smile and comforted: "Anyway, it has nothing to do with us, and it's natural that you don't know." Recently, there has been a great drought in the mortal world, the earth is scorched, and the lakes and rivers have almost dried up. The people have no harvest, no water and no food, and the mortal world at this time is afraid that the earth is full of hunger. The Emperor of Man has always boasted that he was 'destined by heaven', but now there is a great drought from heaven, doesn't this mean that he is not destined for heaven? Besides, I heard that group of Taoist priests keep talking about the prince and the Taibao, but I'm afraid that it was the prince who called them, right? If the emperor loses the hearts of the people, the crown prince will find the destiny of heaven so that he can sit on the dragon throne instead. ”

"There was a great drought during the reign of the human emperor, so he was not destined to ......return," Tsing Yi replied thoughtfully, "So the crown prince who wants to be the emperor of the human emperor sent someone to pray for the rain tripod, because the prayer rain tripod can ask for heavy rain?" ”

"Not bad. Praying for rain is a utensil used by the Wu clan to pray for rain in ancient times, if there is no Wu Zhu who can pray for rain and dance to hold a ceremony, they will only carry back a pile of bronze. Hei Saburo pointed to the lines on the rain tripod with great interest, "Look, there is a totem of witch blessing on it." Since the fall of the Wu Clan, this thing has disappeared from the world for 800 years. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Hu Ji meaningfully.

Tsing Yi was engrossed in reading the pictures and texts on the Prayer Rain Ding, but she didn't look carefully, only to feel that the big Ding was very golden. Now that she looked closely, she found that there seemed to be some cyan patina on the ding's body, and she really saw a humanoid pattern on it.

Just as Hei Saburo and Tsing Yi were whispering, the white-bearded old man at the end had already handed over the jade seal in his hand to Hu Ji.

Hu Ji looked at the continuous luck in the jade seal with great satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "Although I don't need this thing now, but this thing is connected with your national fortune, and it is barely in line with my heart." ”

The white-bearded old man's heart trembled when he heard this, but he subconsciously remembered Hu Ji's past evil deeds. The dynasties that ruined miè because of him were not only the Shang Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty? For the sake of aura, this nine-tailed fox is afraid that he has done a lot of things to steal the fortune of the country, right?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret it a little, and he withdrew his hand and wanted to take back the jade seal.

However, how could Hu Ji be willing to let go? The white-bearded old man showed a little remorse, and he flipped his wrist, and in an instant he had already held the jade seal in his hand.

"Now that the price is already there, you can carry the tripod roll!" Hu Ji, who didn't want to see the faces of the group of Taoist priests anymore, flipped his snow sleeves, but a huge wind set off, and all of a sudden fan of the group of Taoists and Qi Yuding were all fanned to the corner of the stone room.

"Wait-" The white-bearded old man seemed to have something to say, and he desperately stretched out his hand to Hu Ji and shouted, "Don't touch the jade seal--otherwise-"

"Good things naturally have to be used more." Hu Ji completely ignored the group of ghosts and wolves howling, and only raised the jade seal with a satisfied face and looked at it carefully, "Any treasure, if it can't be used to the fullest, isn't it too tyrannical?" ”

As he spoke, he rolled his eyes, but he looked at Tsing Yi in Hei Saburo's arms.

Tsing Yi, who was still pondering Qi Yuding, only felt a flash in front of him, and when he looked at it again, the Qi Yuding had already been swallowed up by the foot of the stone room with the group of Taoists.

Frightened to watch the group of Taoists disappear into the stone wall in horror, and the Tsing Yi God who had not yet completely sorted out his mind turned his head to look at Hu Ji.

When the eyes met, Tsing Yi seemed to see a little sadness in Hu Ji's eyes, his eyes were so beautiful, and the bright colors and aura of the world seemed to be packed into that pair of glass-like eyes. However, before she could realize it, those soul-stinging eyes sparkled, and in an instant, she turned back to the confident and moving orchid she used to be.

"I've shown you what to do, and I don't care if you understand the mystery or not." Hu Ji turned his gaze to Hei Saburo's face with a relaxed expression, and when he saw that Hei Saburo seemed to have a mocking look in his eyes, he sneered, and walked towards the stone gate, and when he stepped past Hei Saburo, he said lightly like a frozen stone, "One year, I will only give you one year, and after one year, when I return from work, if you can't help me repair back to the Nine Tails, Tsing Yi, you must return it to me-"

"San Lang ......" After watching Hu Ji stride away, Tsing Yi looked at Hei San Lang worriedly and screamed.

"It doesn't matter." After looking around the stone room, Hei Saburo said confidently, "Don't say it's a year, it's half a year, and I don't have a problem." ”

With that, he took Tsing Yi and reflexively exited the stone room. As soon as he stepped out of the stone room, his figure shrank suddenly, and he turned back into the appearance of a young man.

Tsing Yi frowned subconsciously, but seeing that Hei Saburo looked as usual, and there was no surprise, she thought about it and didn't say anything more.

After leaving the tunnel, she deliberately walked around the inn, but she never saw the group of Taoist priests who came out in advance. Asked Su Xi again, Su Xi also said that he had never seen any Dading and guests appear around the inn.

Isn't there a shortcut out of the inn in the stone room? If not, wouldn't that group of Daoists be unpredictable?

Tsing Yi really can't say anything about this.

At nightfall, when the full moon illuminated the earth, the trees outside the inn shook the leaves, and the eerie cries of the night owls faded away, making the gloomy woods even more terrifying.

Tsing Yi stood silently in front of the door of the inn with a glazed tile lamp. Above her head was the silver moonlight, and behind her was an inn full of visitors. She pursed her lips and watched silently as a huge snow-colored fox strolled out of the woods.

It has slender eyes, and there seems to be a ripple in the narrow golden pupils, which ripple in the slightest wisps, coupled with the red marks at the tail of the fox's eyes, which makes Tsing Yi feel more and more fluttering the more he looks at it.

Its fur was made of glowing silver threads, and nine fluffy fox tails were swaying slowly behind it, one of which seemed to disappear at any moment.

"Hu Ji-" Tsing Yi, who vaguely sensed something, couldn't help but whisper to the fox, "Are you leaving?" ”

"Hmm." Hu Ji narrowed his hooking fox eyes, his voice was low and hoarse, he glanced at Tsing Yi fixedly, his eyes were sparkling, and Tsing Yi's heart moved slightly, but he didn't know how to respond.

After a moment of silence between one person and one fox, Hu Ji sighed, then turned around and left slowly.

Tsing Yi opened his mouth slightly, stopped talking for a moment, finally closed his mouth, and turned back to the inn.

In the lobby, Kurosaburo, dressed in black, was standing there with his arms crossed and waiting for her to come back.
