Chapter 350: Taishang Laojun once left a message
"Knock ......"
"Knock Knock ......"
"Knock knock ......"
Just when everyone was puzzled, a child took out a rattle out of nowhere, and swung it from side to side, making a dull but coherent sound.
It's just a child's toy, and it can't be compared to the twilight drum that the rat spirit held last time.
But Chen Li's face was not very good-looking, because after the child swung the rattle and made a series of sounds, many people suddenly appeared on the street.
There were strong men, thin bamboo poles, women, and old people with layers of folds on their faces, all of them gathered here, and their eyes were not good, and they surrounded Chen Li and his party.
"Damn, do you want to make trouble?" The little white dragon who turned into a white horse snorted, and there was no fear in his eyes, but a hint of excitement.
This product is probably born to be underwhelmed, especially after cultivating the Seven Turns of the Green Dragon, he wants to fight all day long, and he always thinks about others to find fault when he has nothing to do.
Chen Li opened his mouth and said, "Don't be in a hurry, let's see what their purpose is." ”
"Oh." The little white dragon agreed, his eyes rolling slightly, looking at the front of the street and the back of the street for a while.
In just a few minutes, seventy or eighty people had already appeared, these people were not good-looking, but they were not demons.
They all have dark skin and cracked lips.
A thin man who looked like he should be forty or fifty years old took the lead in front of Chen Li and his party, looked at them for a moment, and then stretched out his palm expressionlessly to make a plea.
Chen Li's eyes were calm, and he said lightly: "What do you want?" ”
"Water, or, money!" The man spoke, his voice was hoarse, as if he were grinding, his lips were cracked, and his upper body was naked. Many of the exposed skin is molting.
"Water!"
"Money!"
Before his words landed, the crowd that had already arrived all agreed in unison, and their voices uttered these two words hoarsely.
Chen Li frowned, he was naturally clear about what happened in Fengxian County. Because the county guard of Fengxian County pushed the tribute, let the dog eat it, and was inspected by the Quartet, the Jade Emperor who happened to pass by here saw it, and the Jade Emperor was angry, so he let Fengxian County not rain.
But the situation in front of him seems to be worse than in the original book, the people of Fengxian County not only began to live a life of drinking blood, but also robbed passers-by, which is not like a situation that will occur if it has not rained for three years.
"There's no water, but there's a bit of money, but what do you want money for?"
Chen Li did not rush to show mercy, but asked them the purpose of asking for money.
The man who was the first to reach out to him hoarsely said, "There is a coil, we can leave here and go to Yuhua Kingdom, where there is water." ”
"Oh?"
When Chen Li heard this, he couldn't help but touch his chin, no wonder this huge county town looks sparsely populated, it turns out that the rich people have gone to Yuhua Kingdom, and those who have no money can only survive here.
Just as he was wondering if he should give everyone some silver taels, there was a sudden sound of gongs in front of him.
The sound of the gong is crisp and extremely deafening.
The people who surrounded Chen Li and his party dispersed in an instant, but they didn't escape, they just sat on both sides of the street and watched quietly.
The person who struck the gong should be a servant, followed by a man in an official uniform, the official hurried over, and after seeing Chen Li and his party, he asked cautiously: "Dare to ask you, but you came from the Tang Dynasty in the east and went to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures?" ”
When Chen Li heard this, he couldn't help but show surprise and asked, "Are you?" ”
"Below is the county guard of Fengxian County, waiting for the elders here, it's been three years!"
"Fengxian County Guard?"
When Chen Li heard this, he looked him up and down, his figure was not tall, but his face was square, and he was indeed a little majestic in his official uniform.
"Why are you waiting for us here? And how do you know we're coming? ”
Chen Li spoke directly and expressed the doubts in his heart.
The county guarded and said: "This matter still needs to be explained to the elders slowly, please all the elders, go to the lower mansion with you." ”
Chen Li hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay." ”
When the county keeper heard this, his face couldn't help but be happy, he stretched out his hand, said a word of invitation, and went to the mansion.
After Chen Li and the others arrived at the county guard's mansion and sat down, the county guard instructed his wife to bring a pot of tea.
To be honest, Chen Li and his entourage have so many people, and a pot of tea is really not enough, but the county guard said that it is not that he is reluctant, but that the water source in the house is scarce, and a pot is close to the limit, and if you want to get water, you have to run to Yuhua country.
Bai Gujing and the others all had strange faces, and after some inquiry, they learned that it had not rained in Fengxian County for three years, and water had become the most scarce substance here.
"You haven't told me yet, how did you know we were coming, and what are you waiting for us to come?"
Chen Li opened his mouth, this is the issue he is most concerned about.
The county guard said: "Don't hide it from the elder, the reason why I know that you will come is because an old immortal who passed by Fengxian County three years ago said, he said at that time that there will be a drought in our Fengxian County, and only when the Eastern Earth Tang Dynasty goes to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, this drought can be solved, and Fengxian County can be saved." ”
"Oh?" Hearing this, Chen Li glanced at Zhu Bajie and the others, and then asked, "Do you remember the appearance of that immortal?" ”
"I have an impression of this, he is about the age of Gu Qian, with white hair and white beard, a Taoist robe, a whisk in his hand, a purple-gold gourd tied around his waist, and a pair of ......."
"Taishang Laojun!"
Before the county guard finished speaking, Chen Li and Zhu Bajie invariably opened their mouths to reveal the identity of that person.
"Three years ago, we ......"
"It should be the time period before and after Pingdingshan dealt with the Golden Horn."
Chen Li opened his mouth, then looked at the county guard, and frowned: "Did he say anything other than saying that we can help Fengxian County solve the drought?" ”
"This ......" The county guard scratched his head, thought for a while, and then shook his head uncertainly, "It doesn't seem to be there, right?" ”
"Nonsense, where is it, the old fairy obviously said one more thing."
Suddenly, the county keeper came out of the side room.
When the county guard heard this, he frowned and said, "Is there one?" Don't be foolish. ”
When the county keeper lady heard this, she said angrily: "You don't believe in gods and Buddhas in your life, when the old fairy told us that there would be a drought in Fengxian County, not only did you not believe it, but also scolded him for swaggering and cheating, and wanted to drive him away with a broom, where do you remember what he said?" ”
"This ......"
The county guard smiled wryly, but he didn't deny it.
Indeed, when Taishang Laojun said that there was a drought in Fengxian County, he, as the lord of a county, was so angry that he jumped on the spot and drove people away with a broom, so that he couldn't listen to what Laojun said before leaving, but his wife, who had always believed in gods and Buddhas, remembered that sentence in his heart.
"Elders, the old immortal did say something, he said that helping Fengxian County solve this drought is not only a merit, but also a creation."
"Creation?" Everyone looked at each other.
