023 A village in the desert
"Priest!" Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Moyun in surprise, "Oh, go and call someone to call Tong'er back, this is not a joke with the saint snatching a woman." β
Jiang Moyun raised his head and laughed, waving his hand, "I said that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." But after taking a few steps, he couldn't help but sink his face again, the Holy Lord and the priest, inviting them to the Lianhuan Pavilion will not cause any major incidents, right?
A village hidden in the sand.
Qi Shangyi glanced up at the village, and followed Guan Jiyun into it, the village was full of loess roads, and there were loess houses, as if they wanted to merge with the desert.
A child playing under the eaves looked up at Guan Jiyun, stood up in shock, and then ran away with a scream, "He's back, the hunter is back!" β
"Really?" "Where?"
When the villagers heard the sound, they all ran out and surrounded the two, and Qi Shangyi hid behind Guan Jiyun with some fear.
"Everybody get out of the way." An old voice came from the back of the crowd, and the crowd of onlookers made a way, and an old man with a hooked waist, walking over with a cane taller than himself, looked at Qi Shangyi from top to bottom, and then knelt down, "Priest Jin'an." β
"Priest Jin'an." The villagers followed the old man and knelt down in succession.
Qi Shangyi was taken aback and said nervously: "You all get up, get up." β
After following everyone into the ancestral hall and chatting, Qi Shangyi realized that it turned out that hunters were Guan Jiyun's profession, and everyone called those who specialize in collecting a certain amount of remuneration to do things for others as hunters, and it was Guan Jiyun's task to help the village bring priests.
"Our village used to be surrounded by green trees, I don't know why, all of a sudden, the water in the ground was gone, the well water dried up, and gradually the crops around the village were gone, and they turned into loess, so we asked the gold medal hunter to find a priest for us, so that we could pray for rain for us." Said the short village chief.
Qi Shangyi glanced at Guan Jiyun, then turned his head and said, "But I won't ask for rain now." β
"What did you say?" The old village chief looked up at Qi Shangyi in disbelief, and his hand holding the cane became even harder, and thick green tendons rose one by one.
When the crowd gathered outside the ancestral hall heard this, they also began to discuss, "How is this good?" If we can't ask for rain, are we really hopeless? β
"I'm sorry, I'd love to help you too, but I can't ask for rain anymore." Qi Shangyi stood up with some reproach and said.
The old village chief's body trembled slightly, and then he silently walked out of the door with his cane, walked a few steps, and turned around, looking at Qi Shangyi with a low eye, "Priests don't have to blame themselves too much, since it is destined by God, we can only accept it." β
The old village chief's eyes were very different from before, and he was chilled all over, and most of the onlookers dispersed with the old village chief, leaving only a few village women to lead Qi Shangyi and Guan Jiyun to a few guest rooms in the backyard of the ancestral hall to rest.
Jiang Tongtong went to Hanjiang County with his luggage, bought a baked cake on the side of the road and was gnawing on it, when his eyes suddenly lit up, and he ran towards the figure in front of him with a big smile, "Ye Gongzi~"
Ye Cangjue had just come out of the hotel, and was about to go out of the city to find Qi Shangyi, when he suddenly heard someone calling him, turned around, and just saw Jiang Tong running towards him with half a baked cake in his hand, he hurriedly took two steps to the side gently, in case his clothes were dirty.
"Ye Gongzi, what a coincidence!" Jiang Tong said with a big laugh.
"Young Master Jiang, it's polite." Ye Cangjue said.
"If I leave the Lianhuan Pavilion, I won't be a young master, so you can call me Jiang Tong." Jiang Tong smiled embarrassedly and looked around, "Hey, isn't Miss Qi with you?" β
"She went back first." Ye Cangjue hesitated for a moment and said, after all, it is his fiancΓ©e, and other men are always not very happy to think about it.
Jiang Tong listened with a disappointed face, "I originally wanted Miss Qi to see my new invention, but since this is the case, I won't bother Ye Gongzi and leave." β
"Farewell." Ye Cangjue said lightly and turned to leave. But after not taking a few steps, Jiang Tong caught up again, "Ye Gongzi, can you tell the girl in Xia Qi's residence?" β
"I don't know." Ye Cangjue said without hesitation that he had begun to stand Jiang Tong anymore, but out of politeness and the idea of not wanting to attract attention, he did not show it.
Jiang Tong nodded in disbelief after hearing this, and turned to leave again, Ye Cangjue looked at his back and sighed, it seems that he has to find Qi Shangyi quickly and bring her back to the palace.
In the old village chief's room, a few candles emitted a dim and faint light, and in a small room of less than ten square meters, nearly ten people were sitting or standing, and everyone looked at the old village chief sitting on the high chair with a deep contemplative face.
"Village Chief, what's next?" Finally, someone couldn't help it and opened his mouth first.
"In my opinion, it's right to do what that Taoist said." Without waiting for the old village chief to speak, a rough answer came from the other side.
The old village chief still didn't speak, and a woman's voice came from the corner, "That's the priest, even if there is rain when we do this, the Holy One will not let us go." β
"It's all death horizontally and vertically, it's better to try than not to try." The rough voice immediately raised his voice, and Shengbei retorted.
"Okay~" The old village chief dodged the crutches in his hand twice, and everyone immediately quieted down, "Just according to what the man said, if there is any problem, the old man will bear it." β
"I'll prepare!" The owner of the rough voice got up and walked out, everyone looked at each other, and followed out the door with complicated expressions, leaving the old village chief, standing up with a cane, walking to the window and pushing open the window, glancing at the crescent moon with only an arc outside, and holding his heart with his right hand and reciting a few words he didn't understand.
Qi Shangyi rushed for a day's journey, so tired that he fell asleep on the bed, but what strange pictures appeared in the dream, the dream made people sore, Qi Shangyi opened his eyes, but was surprised to find that where he was sleeping, it was clearly tied up by someone and fell into the air, directly below himself, there was a well, you can't see the bottom of the well, only more and more black, you can see Qi Shangyi desperately struggled, but his mouth was blocked by the cloth, so he had to make a humming sound.
"This well has been dry for a few years, and some Taoists say that this is the anger of the well god, as long as the priest is sacrificed to the well god, we will get the well water," the old village chief suddenly walked in front of Qi Shangyi with a cane, "So, we can only grieve the priest." β
Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous! There is no well god, Qi Shangyi really wanted to tell them loudly not to be so superstitious, but where could he shout, so he had to shake his head desperately.
