Chapter 119: Rainfall
Chen Yao's words were not shocking and endless, which really made Hou Song feel embarrassed, a seventy or eighty-year-old martial arts master, he had never seen any strong winds and waves, but now he was taught a lesson by a little girl.
On top of that, I can't fucking refute it.
Is Jiaolong Villa a small sect?
Definitely not counted, medium to top rubbed more than enough.
But compared with the legendary Baiyun Tower, which was built on top of the white clouds, the gap is really a bit big.
As the saying goes, there is a difference between cloud and mud.
People are clouds, you are just mud.
Chen Yao's words naturally moved me very much, but moved is moved, the old-timers are here, they can't follow Chen Yao to dismantle his stage, right?
I coughed twice and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I will definitely leave the town after a while, and I will have nowhere to go when the time comes, and it is not bad to go to Jiaolong Villa to do chores, as for Miss Chen, you are sure I have no spiritual vein, can I go?" ”
Chen Yao was stunned, then frowned and said, "Try it, maybe you can make an exception...... Anyway, it's better than going to Jiaolong Villa to be a handyman. ”
I smiled bitterly, "Take a step back and say, I'm like this, even if I really go with you, I still won't be treated well there, although I don't have any skills, but I don't like to stand in the pit and not, annoying people...... As for the old gentleman's Jiaolong Mountain, I think I need to think about it again, because a lot of things have happened recently, and my heart is a little chaotic......"
Hou Song nodded and said, "It's time to think about it, your situation is a bit special." ”
Chen Yao was so angry that he stomped his feet: "Be kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs, ignore you!" ”
After saying that, he ran out of the house.
Hou Song and I both smiled helplessly.
Hou Song pondered for a while and said, "In this way, I'll try again to see if I can persuade those old stubborns to shorten your time as a handyman by two years...... When you enter the outer gate, if you can break through to the 3rd realm of martial arts within five years, I will work harder and strive to let you come to my side as a waiter, who is a waiter in name, but secretly it is almost the same as the inner disciple, what do you think? ”
I was about to speak, when a cold snort suddenly sounded:
"What a Jiaolong Villa!"
"My nephew's life is shallow and he can't climb this big temple!"
Ding But, dressed in a black robe and expressionless, walked over from outside.
"Second uncle, are you back?" I was pleasantly surprised.
Ding just squeezed out a smile and said, "Well, I'm back, if I don't come back, if my nephew goes the wrong way and worships the wrong door, then I will regret it for the rest of my life." ”
Hou Song, who had been ridiculed by Chen Yao before, showed no signs of anger, but at this moment, his face finally became angry, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Dare to ask who Your Excellency is?" ”
"I'm just an unknown junior who should have gone with the wind." Ding just brushed his sleeves, sat on the chair, and said with a smile.
Hou Song said in a deep voice: "You look down on my Jiaolong Villa? ”
Ding didn't laugh out loud: "That's not true, as a newly rising body refining sect after the runaway crack was broken, the old man still admires it very much...... It's just that admiration is admiration, if my nephew really goes to your sect, I will definitely be the first to refuse. ”
"Why?" Hou Song said.
"Qu Cai." Ding just looked like he took it for granted, pointed at me and said, "My nephew, a genius who happens once in 10,000 years, went to your Jiaolong Villa, isn't it Qu Cai?" But the White Cloud Pagoda is barely worthy of him. ”
Hearing this, Hou Song laughed instead of being angry, while I was so ashamed that I wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Second uncle, second uncle, even if you brag about your nephew, you don't have to be so exaggerated, right?
What kind of once-in-a-lifetime genius, even the Baiyun Pagoda with an extraordinary origin behind Chen Yao, can only barely match me?
Are you praising me or scolding me?
Ding didn't bare at him, and said to Hou Song, "What are you laughing at?" You think I'm kidding? ”
"Nope." Hou Song shook his head.
Ding snorted and said, "You guys, how can you see my nephew's talent?" Forget it, no matter how much you say, you will play the piano to the cow, Xiao Mian, our nephew will go out and drink two sips. ”
I hurriedly agreed, and then glanced at Hou Song apologetically.
Hou Song shook his head, indicating that he didn't care.

Ding and I found a spicy hot restaurant, chose some vegetarian dishes at random, ordered a pot of white wine, and drank it one by one without waiting for the dishes to come up.
Ding didn't hesitate to see me drinking, took a sip of half a glass, and said with a smile: "Oh no, oh terrible, it's a lot at a young age, if I'm still alive, I will definitely come to you to have a cup if I have nothing to do, unlike your father, who used to drink without a drop of alcohol, saying that drinking will affect luck...... Oh, I've been careful all my life, haven't you still suffered a loss of luck? ”
I put a piece of hot shiitake mushroom in my mouth and asked curiously, "Second uncle, my father never drank alcohol before?" ”
"What, surprised? I know that after you were born, this bastard should have been drinking heavily, and most of the time it wasn't good...... But you would never have imagined that he used to be a good young man who didn't drink a drop of alcohol, didn't stay up late, didn't eat junk food, lived a very regular life, respected the old and loved the young. ”
"Tsk...... As for luck, it's nothing more than fear of death. ”
"Well, now, this guy who is afraid of death finally doesn't have to worry about dying...... It's just that the so-called immortality is a thousand times more painful than death. ”
"Alas, when I was the second brother, if I could say a few more words about him, maybe he wouldn't have come this far......"
"My bad, my bad......"
Speaking of the back, Ding Bu's voice was a little hoarse, and a glass of wine went down his stomach, with melancholy and guilt in his eyes.
My grip on the chopsticks tightened, but I quickly let go of them and continued to eat.
For a while, the two of them were in a heavy mood.
By the time the spicy hot came up, most of the wine had already been drunk.
Maybe I drank too quickly, my lower abdomen was a little hot, and I quickly ate a few bites of spicy dishes, and suddenly it was so spicy that my forehead sweated and my throat was dry.
The second uncle didn't move his chopsticks from beginning to end, just watched me eat and occasionally took a sip of wine.
I noticed that the ground beneath his feet was wet, like a broken bottle, and how to drink and how to leak.
I pretended not to see it, still gobbling up and drinking.
"I'm leaving......" Ding said suddenly.
My body trembled, and the chopsticks in my hand finally stopped.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"Where else can you go, dust to dust, dust to dust, naturally go where you should go." Ding said with a wry smile.
I was silent.
Ding said: "Xiao Mian, I'll take a look at the talisman." ”
"Now?" I was stunned.
"Now." Ding didn't say.
"What does the second uncle want me to draw?" I took out a piece of yellow paper from my body.
"Let's rain it, the weather is really hot today, and the rain is cool and cool." Ding looked up at the sky.
I looked embarrassed and said, "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult, the rain talisman is of a very high grade, I have tried it before, but I have not succeeded once." ”
"It's okay, failure is success, it, try a few more times, maybe you will succeed?" Ding said with a smile.
Since the second uncle said so, I naturally did so, took out the cinnabar box I carried with me, dipped some cinnabar with my hand, recited the meditation mantra a few times, and then drew it in one go.
After the drawing, I held the yellow talisman with two fingers and shook it lightly into the air: "Fall." ”
The talisman burns instantly.
However, the sky was still scorching, and there was no sign of rain.
"Draw again." Ding didn't say.
I took a deep breath, and this time, drew more seriously.
After the painting is done, summon the rain again.
Unfortunately, it still failed.
"Draw again." Ding didn't say.
So, I drew more than a dozen talismans in a row, each one more difficult than the other, one slower than the other, but still none of them succeeded in raining.
Ding looked at me who was sweating profusely, and said with a smile: "Close your eyes and take a rest." ”
I closed my eyes and leaned back in my chair.
The spirit that was originally tense relaxed little by little, and the breathing became longer.
In his ears, the second uncle's voice sounded slowly: "Xiao Mian, you remember, to draw a talisman is to use your body and mind as a furnace, to integrate all things in heaven and earth with you, to pour ink and luck Zhu, to move your mind, a little spiritual light, through the heavens and the earth, the spirit is allegorical, the law is inconsistent, what is not the same." ”
"If you want to draw a talisman full of spirituality, you need to consume a lot of mind, and it is not as easy as killing a big demon.
"Now, do you want to draw a talisman?"
I shook my head: "Not very much. ”
Ding nodded and smiled: "Then continue to rest." ”
After a while, Ding asked me again, do you want to draw a talisman?
I still shook my head.
So, every few minutes, Ding had to ask.
And just like that, an hour passed before I knew it.
Just when I was almost about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard someone crying not far away: "It's another year of drought, how can people live?" ”
Moment.
I snapped my eyes open and began to put pen to paper on the rune paper.
The shot is extremely fast, without the slightest Tori with water, like a pen walking dragon and snake, dragon flying and phoenix dancing, all in one go.
"Drop!"
I let out a loud shout and threw the talisman between my fingers.
Bang!
There was a muffled thunder in the sky, and a moment later, a light rain fell.
However, the light rain only fell for less than a few seconds, and soon disappeared again.
The passers-by outside were all at a loss, wondering if there was filming somewhere, and suddenly there was an artificial rain?
"Second uncle, I'...... I did it! I did it! "I looked at my masterpiece and my eyes widened with surprise.
Ding didn't care about his beard and smiled, "Do you know why you succeeded?" ”
I thought about it for a moment and said, "To be honest, I don't know very much, but just now I heard someone complaining that it was another year of drought, and then I felt a sigh in my heart, and suddenly I ...... Suddenly......"
"Suddenly, a little light flashed in my mind, didn't it?" Ding said with a smile.
"Yes, how do you know, second uncle?" I was surprised.
The old man laughed: "The so-called little spiritual light is a talisman, in vain the world's ink and Zhu, drawing talismans is the same as a writer writing a story, but where there is inspiration, cinnabar and pen and paper, are cumbersome!" ”
"Come on, come on, draw another one."
I looked at it and smiled bitterly, "But I don't seem to be inspired now......"
"It's okay, I'll help you this time." The second uncle said with a smile.
I took out a talisman again and carefully drew the rain talisman.
Just as he was about to settle the payment, the second uncle said: "Don't worry, write the words "Ding but pardon" at the end. ”
I was confused, but I still followed the words of the second uncle, wrote his name, and finally added a pardon.
"Try it." Ding said.
I threw the talisman into the air.
Crash!
A pouring rain, caught off guard, and suddenly fell!
The entire town of fine water, as if the gods had received a signal, poured the water of the heavenly river into the world, and the heavy rain violently knocked on the roof, impacting the earth, and playing a shocking music.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, like countless silkworm girls spitting out silver filaments, thousands of filaments, rippling in mid-air, converging into a thin stream, smashing up crystal splashes.
Outside, I faintly heard people cheering and jumping.
In the restaurant, the waiters' eyes widened one by one, staring blankly at the sun and rain, and the diners sighed, regretting that they should bring an umbrella when they went out.
This rain, showing no signs of stopping, has been pouring down, endlessly.
Ding but looked at me who was dumbfounded, and said with a smile: "In the future, when drawing talismans, remember to add the words Ding Bu pardon at the end, and it will be regarded as a gift from the second uncle." ”
"Second uncle......" I looked at the old man gratefully, but there was an indescribable melancholy in my heart.
He sent me things in such a hurry, naturally, because he was leaving.
Although I also understand that there is no banquet in the world that will never be dissolved, parting is painful after all.
"The last gift is for you with your father, Xiao Mian, close your eyes." Ding didn't say.
I closed my eyes as I was told.
After a while, I felt three strands of cool stuff pouring in from the top of my head and then disappearing without a trace.
Before I could ask him what this was, I heard the second uncle's voice sound softly:
"Xiao Mian, the second uncle will give you a word, never look down on yourself, living happily is life."
"Second uncle?"
I suddenly realized something, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that the seat opposite me was empty, except for a sip of the spicy tang that had not moved, and a wine glass that had bottomed out, there was no one to be seen.
I stared at the empty wine glass in a daze, tears falling silently, and muttered to my mouth, "Remember, second uncle." ”
A young waitress next to me looked at me with a strange expression, and quietly asked the older young man next to me: "Brother Wang, since I came in, I have ordered two dishes by myself, and I have made two wine glasses, talking to myself, as if he is talking to the air, and crying as he speaks, do you think he should be a psychopath?" ”
The young man frowned and said, "Don't be nosy, there have been a lot of weird people and strange things in our town recently, be careful of getting into trouble." ”
The waitress sighed, but she was not convinced.
This guy is obviously a psychopath.

Slate Stone Lane, Xishui Town, at the door of a rental house.
Chen Yao, who was huffing, kicked the door open, and was about to go in, when his face suddenly changed, as if he had found something, he turned around suddenly, and said coldly:
"Come out!"
Behind, quietly.
Nothing but a small bird in a locust tree, shaking its feathers and chirping......
"Did you read it wrong?"
Chen Yao frowned, looked around again, and then walked into the room.
Shortly after she left, a long, narrow shadow slowly appeared on one side......
