Chapter 129: Providence
Xi Duyun stayed in Chengzhou for two days, and Xu didn't know how to bring people to him.
Xi Duyun originally thought that Xu didn't know that he wouldn't come, but he didn't expect him to come.
"Why are you here too?" She asked, "Don't you need help from the Fifth Prince's side?" ”
"Now we need materials to build the river embankment, and the five princes attach great importance to this matter." Xu Bubu said, "So send me over to have a look." ”
"The fifth prince doesn't believe in my ability to do things?" Xi Duyun smiled.
"Of course not." Xu Buzhi hurriedly clarified: "It's just to see if I can help." ”
Seeing that he was explaining seriously, Xi Duyun laughed embarrassedly, "I just said it casually." After saying that, he looked at a Dao Bone Immortal Daoist standing behind Xu Bu.
She looked at this person as if he was an unborn master, but the word liar would not have the word liar written on his face.
She pulled Xu Zhizhi aside and asked in a low voice, "Is this person reliable?" It can't be a liar, right? The voice was soft, like the sound of the wind.
Xu didn't know that before he spoke, the warlock spoke first, "Girl, you can rest assured, Xiaodao is not those liars on the rivers and lakes, this is Xiaodao's eating craft, and there should be no sloppiness." ”
Xi Duyun took a deep breath, "You can hear it so far away?" ”
"Xiaodao doesn't have any skills, but the headphones are excellent." Taoist Dao.
Xu Buzhi smiled, "Let me introduce it to you, he is a Xugu Taoist priest, he is very famous in the local area, and he can observe the weather, which is very magical." ”
Xugu just smiled nonchalantly, and didn't answer the words.
Xi Duyun nodded, "Then can you tell what the weather will be tomorrow?" ”
Xugu glanced at the sky, "Although there are no clouds, there is already a chill in the air, and tomorrow, it will definitely snow." ”
"If it snows tomorrow, I'll leave this matter to you." The meaning of Xi Duyun's words is obvious, that is, to verify the truth of his words.
Xugu didn't care, nodded with a smile and said, "Okay." ”
Xu Buzhi took out a gold ingot from his bosom, "This is a deposit." ”
Xugu didn't say anything, and took it.
Xi Duyun didn't shirk either, after all, this matter was done for the Fifth Prince, and his people should pay for it, and it seems that this person has two tricks, I hope it can be useful.
The night really felt much colder than the previous two days, Cuiyun specially asked the store for a carbon basin, and after burning the charcoal basin, he felt much warmer.
Xi Duyun also muttered a little in her heart, "This person shouldn't be more accurate than the weather forecast, right?" ”
Cuiyun didn't know what she was talking about, and said with a smile: "I think that Taoist man has two hits, and looking at his white clothes and white beard, it is convincing." ”
"I hope so." Xi Duyun took a deep breath and said.
Cuiyun took out some taro and sweet potatoes from the basket and put them in the charcoal basin, "When it is ready to burn later, eat some hot to warm your body, when I was a child, I always gathered in front of the carbon basin and ate taro sweet potatoes, which are fragrant and sweet." ”
Xi Duyun smiled, "Then I'll try it." ”
It was late at night.
The sweet potatoes exude an enticing sweet aroma in the charcoal basin, and a small red clay stove is built on top of it, boiling tea.
Xi Duyun wanted to write a letter to Qi Lichen, but he didn't know what to say, there were too many words of concern, and there was nothing new.
The letters were sent one by one, and Xi Duyun also knew that according to Qi Lichen's temperament, he must report good news to his family but not bad news, and along the way, he didn't know how many dangers there were, and he swallowed them all alone.
Xi Duyun was actually very worried in her heart, but she knew that even if she asked, Qi Lichen would not tell her the truth.
Thinking of this, she wrote some words of concern, shared some of her recent events, and said that she could go back when things were done, and waited for him to come back at home.
After writing the letter, she asked people to send it out, and the taro was ready, and it tasted fragrant, and the wind was blowing howling outside, which was indeed very different from the sunny day during the day. 135 Chinese
It seems that the Taoist priest really has two brushes.
After eating taro and drinking some hot water, his body warmed up, and with this heat, Xi Duyun fell asleep soon after lying down.
Wake up the next day
Pushing open the window, it was really white outside, and the snow was not big, but it was enough to cover the world.
Xi Duyun smiled, it seemed that the plan could begin.
She washed up and went downstairs, Xu Buzhi and Xugu were already waiting.
Xi Duyun briefly talked about his plan, it was nothing more than because those villagers always felt that the gods were punishing people, and Xugu could use his own skills to speak for the heavens.
After listening to this, Xugu said, "This has to be a suitable opportunity, and the weather in the mountains is changeable. ”
"Isn't that possible?" Xi Duyun asked suspiciously.
Xu Buzhi smiled, "Don't worry, after this matter is completed, the five princes will have a heavy reward." ”
It turned out that it was to ask for money, but Xi Duyun didn't react for a while, it seemed that he was deceived by the appearance of the Dao Bone Immortal Style.
Xugu smiled, "Don't worry, let's go to the place first." ”
Xi Duyun nodded.
The group immediately set off towards the village.
The people in the village didn't seem to expect them to come back so soon, and they all looked vigilant.
Xi Duyun called the village chief and said with a smile: "Your village, there is a problem, there is a reason, I invited a master from outside the world to show you." ”
The village chief frowned, "No. ”
Xi Duyun smiled and said, "Actually, the soil here is not very suitable for planting because it has been eroded by magma, and you can see that the wild fields are basically some wild grasses with extremely tenacious vitality, and even wild flowers are not common. ”
The village chief looked outside, and there was still some distance from the volcano, but there were no flowers or weeds to be seen.
The village chief remembered that after so many years, the autumn harvest situation was indeed not optimistic, so the people in the village were not very wealthy.
He also thought about letting the people in the village do something else, but the homeland is inseparable, the ancestors lived here, and there is that inexplicable legend that wants them to protect this land.
Seeing that the village chief was a little moved, Xi Duyun immediately said: "What you are guarding is not a curse, but things that can benefit the country and the people, as long as these things can be brought out, they will definitely help more people." ”
"No, if you take these things out, then we will definitely be the ones who will suffer." Suddenly, someone in the crowd raised an objection.
Xi Duyun smiled, "The gods of heaven have brought this disaster to you, and they will definitely bring blessings to you, I have invited this Xugu Dao Master, he is familiar with astronomy and geography, and he can listen to the voice of heaven even more, he will open the altar and ask about the will of heaven." ”
"Then how do we know if you're lying to us?" Someone in the crowd said.
"Providence is visible to all." Xi Duyun said.
As soon as the words fell, the mountain wind blew up, rolling up thick dust and sweeping in.
In an instant, it was dark.
"Heaven is going to punish us again." It was unknown who in the crowd shouted.
"It was they, the outsiders, who brought the calamity to us and drove them out!" In the midst of the chaos, someone shouted loudly.
Xi Duyun could tell that he was the leader who came to him that night to talk about business in private, and it seemed that he was secretly holding back to make a bad deal.
Xi tried hard to explain to the villagers, but no one wanted to listen to him, and just wanted to blast them out.
Bai Bing stood in front of Xi Muyun, although he protected Xi Muyun from injury, but because Xi Muyun ordered that he was not allowed to hurt those villagers, Bai Bing had some colors on his body, and he looked a little miserable.
