After Chen Song jumped into the Qinglong Pond, he was wrapped in a large bubble and slowly fell to the bottom of the Qinglong Pond. When he opened his eyes, he came to a majestic palace. The architecture of this palace is crystal clear, completely composed of all kinds of crystals, amber, and agate, all of which are ingenious, not owned by the world, and those colorless, purple, yellow, and green rare and exotic objects, Chen Song can't name them at all.

The two guards escorted Chen Song into the main hall, shoved him on the calf, and he fell to his knees. The guard said in a loud voice: "Tell King Tan, the prisoner Chen Song has been brought." ”

The king of Qinglong Tantan sat on the top of the main hall, and the two maids shook the treasure fan and stood on both sides. There was a separate seat in front of the right side of the throne of the King of Tan, on which the old witch sit. The witch has a great rank in the water palace, and her qualifications and prestige are very high, which is a seat specially given by the king of Tan for witches. Under the main hall, the ministers of civil and military affairs stood in two rows and listened to the king of Tan to deal with various affairs. King Tan looked at His Royal Highness Chen Song and drank: "Little ghost, are you guilty?" Do you know why they detained you in the Water Palace? ”

"What kind of wicked are you? I do farm work, housework, and homework every day, and I didn't provoke you, so why did you arrest me? Hurry up and let me go back! Chen Song replied confidently. He didn't do anything wrong, and his heart was not empty.

"You hairy boy, how can you shout in front of King Tan? Didn't your teachers teach you to respect your superiors? His Royal Highness shouted.

"That's it, that's it, don't be like a child." Tan Wang said.

Chen Song looked ignorant, not knowing what was going on. The witch said to him: "There are a few earthworms in our water palace, which were imprisoned in a piece of land next to the embankment of Qinglong Pond by my spell, and you kid went to the field with a hoe to dig earthworms that day, and broke my spell, causing the earthworms to run around, causing the water palace to shake. You are the culprit of this incident! ”

It turned out that after Shakyamuni Buddha changed the physical constants of the Qinglongtan Water Palace, he introduced various organisms to maintain the balance and stability of the water palace ecosystem. Unexpectedly, the villagers of Qinglongzhuang are using more and more pesticides and fertilizers in their agricultural production. Especially in recent months, the rice in Qinglongzhuang has suffered from rice blast, and farmers are afraid that the rice yield will be reduced or even the harvest will be lost, so a large number of tricyclazole pesticides have been used for treatment. Although the rice blast was controlled, the environment of Qinglongtan was also polluted. In order to prevent the pollution of water bodies by chemical fertilizers, it is generally required that the amount of chemical fertilizer used per hectare should not exceed 225 kilograms, but in order to pursue high yields, farmers in Qinglongzhuang use more than 700 kilograms of chemical fertilizer per hectare, which is more than three times the safe amount of chemical fertilizer. The effective utilization rate of chemical fertilizer is very low, and the loss of chemical fertilizer aggravates the eutrophication of Qinglongtan water, resulting in excessive nitrate nitrogen content and affecting the self-purification ability of soil. As a result, the earthworms in the Qinglongtan ecosystem are the most seriously affected by environmental pollution, and the physical constants of Qinglongtan are different from those in other places, and the earthworms are very prone to genetic mutations. Some earthworms grow four legs, and some are huge. These huge earthworms drill around in the soil under the Qinglongtan Water Palace, forming criss-crossing earthworm holes, changing the stress balance of the water palace foundation, often causing the water palace to shake and shake. At the request of the King of Qinglongtan, the witch Wan'er cast a spell to imprison these genetically mutated earthworms in a piece of land next to the embankment of Qinglongtan, so that they could not do whatever they wanted. The spell cast by the witch has a flaw in that it will be broken whenever someone born during the lunar year breaks ground at the place where the spell is cast. Chen Song happened to be the person who was born when the lunar year was cloudy, and when he was digging earthworms that day, he happened to come to the place where the witch used to cast the spell, so Chen Song inadvertently broke the spell that imprisoned the earthworm that day and released the earthworm. If someone with a different birth time had been to dig earthworms, nothing like this would have happened.

After Chen Song released the mutated earthworms, these earthworms were like wild horses that had escaped from the wild, driven by their nature, and moved in the soil under the water palace, and the balance of in-situ stress was destroyed again, and there were even collapses in some places. Recently, there have been many reports of a sudden collapse of a street in a certain place, which is probably a similar reason. When the water palace was shaking and shaking, the witch was holding an enthronement ceremony in Ho Xin, and wanted to take her as a disciple, pass on the mantle to her, and make her an heir. Suffered from this emergency, the bed-sitting ceremony was abandoned halfway. The witch was invited by the king of Tan to come to the rescue, and she used the earthworm's habit of liking darkness, humidity, quietness, warmth, sweet and sour, fear of light, water, stuffiness, vibration, acid and alkali, and cast witchcraft to catch the earthworm and lock it in a large box. Since they did not want to stay in the vast expanse of the wilderness, the witch had to imprison them first. When the aftershocks stopped, the king of Tan sent people to fill the holes drilled by the earthworms. The people of the Water Palace united as one, fought the earthquake and provided relief, and finally restored the tranquility of the Water Palace. Chen Song's small move brought such a huge disaster to the Qinglong Pond Water Palace, and the King of Tan naturally wanted to count this account on his head.

In addition, there is another incident that is also caused by Chen Song's family. Due to the indiscriminate use of pesticides and fertilizers by farmers in Qinglongzhuang, the water body of Qinglongtan has been seriously polluted. One day, the king of Tan sent the third son, his third son, out to inspect the crops planted in the surrounding villages, the use of water bodies and chemical fertilizers and pesticides, so that the Qinglongtan Water Palace could take measures to clean up the environment. The third son turned into a big golden fish in the rice field to investigate, the rice is heading, but the water quality is very poor, and many small fish and shrimp die in the rice field. Seeing that it was getting late, the third prince wanted to jump over the rice field and return to Qinglongtan, but unfortunately he was caught in Chen Qingshan's fishing net and sold into a restaurant in the county seat. The poor third son suffered a flying disaster and became a meal on the plate of diners.

Chen Qingshan killed the third son, and the king of Tan counted the account on Chen Qingshan, and was angry with Chen Qingshan's son Chen Song. In addition, Chen Song's digging of earthworms caused the disaster of the Water Palace, and the new and old accounts of King Tan were calculated together, all of which were counted on Chen Song's head, and a little ghost was sent to lure Chen Song into the water and detain him to the Water Palace. In view of the serious pollution of the water body of Qinglongtan, the king of Tan made a ridiculous decision, he wanted to wait until the water of Qinglongtan dried up, and then rain again, and replace it with a new pool, so as to completely solve the problem of water pollution in the pool, and at the same time wanted to take revenge on Qinglongzhuang and make them pay the price of environmental pollution, which is the reason why several nearby towns and villages suffered from drought.

King Tan wanted to cure Chen Song's serious crimes, and according to custom, he first asked the ministers for advice: "Ladies and gentlemen, this child destroyed the peace of the Water Palace, and his father killed the third son, what crime should he be sentenced for?" ”

According to the harsh punishment in the past, Chen Song should be sentenced to death. But now the situation is different, first, the king of Tan has changed his policy, based on generosity, and implemented the rule of benevolence and virtue; second, Chen Song is not yet 18 years old and is a minor, so he should be protected; The third is that he did not make a mistake intentionally, but it was an unintentional mistake, which caused this change by coincidence, and it is recommended that he be punished lightly. An elder said.

There are also those who suggest a heavier punishment, and there are also those who suggest that Chen Qingshan be detained for punishment. The king of Tan could not make up his mind, so he asked the witch for advice. The witch said that she would obey the will of heaven, she took out the hexagram from her bosom and threw it on the ground, the hexagram showed that Chen Songyang had not lived a long life, and could not be punished with capital punishment. The witch was old, and thinking that she would still face the test of the three calamities, her heart became more and more kind, and she wanted to exonerate Chen Song, and said to the king of Tan: "What Chen Song did is nothing more than what a bear child does, as for the punishment measures, just refer to the method of their school teachers to punish naughty students, let him have a longer memory, and don't be naughty in the future!" ”

King Tan thought that the witch was right, and sentenced Chen Songjing to thirty lashes on the buttocks. Chen Song knew that such a punishment was already insignificant, and he thanked King Tan with sincerity. There are a few naughty students in Chen Song's class, and the head teacher often punishes them by beating the hand board, Chen Song has never been beaten by the head teacher, but he didn't expect to be punished like this in the Qinglongtan Water Palace. Several guards pulled Chen Song down, took off his pants, and slapped his buttocks thirty times with slender wattles, and the blood flowed, but fortunately it was only a skin injury, not a bone injury. It is said that the ministers of the Ming Dynasty were often subjected to the court cane, Sven swept the floor, Chen Song was beaten as a child and there was no shame, he gritted his teeth and did not scream. After the beating, the guards dragged Chen Song to a straw pile, and Chen Song lay on the grass pile to slowly recuperate.

After dealing with Chen Song's matter, King Tan continued to discuss the issue of water pollution and treatment with his ministers. The meaning of the king of the pond is to dry up the pond water through the method of drought, and then replace it with a new pool of water through rainfall, so as to completely solve the problem of pond water pollution.

Just now, the elder said to King Tan: "The nearby towns and villages have difficulty drinking water, and if the drought continues, I am afraid that many people will die." I think it's better to get the rain as soon as possible to end the drought in the nearby towns. ”

"After the precipitation, they will abuse chemical fertilizers and pollute the water body of Qinglongtan. There is also a factory upstream, which has stopped work because of a lack of water, and if it rains, they will start work again and discharge sewage into Qinglongtan downstream. I think it's better not to rain. Another minister said.

After a heated discussion, the king of Qinglongtan decided to change the water, but to speed up the water change and reduce the damage to the nearby towns. Now the water level of Qinglong Pond is naturally decreasing, but the speed is very slow, and it will take a long time to completely dry up the pond water. Commissioned by the king of the pool, the witch is going to do the work of steaming the water of the pool.

The witch made people set up a big tripod in the square, cast a spell to hold all the water of the Qinglong Pond in the big tripod, and then burn the fire under the tripod to boil all the water in the tripod and evaporate. Of course, this is according to the principle of similarity to inject the pool water into the tripod, the proportion of the water in the tripod evaporation, the proportion of the Qinglong pond water will be reduced. When all the water evaporates, the pool dries up completely.

After the guards set up the big ding, they had to light the fire. The witch said, "You can't do the fire here, and you need to use the yin fire that I have specially reserved to steam the water dry." "It turned out that the witch had suffered and survived the trials of thunder and fire from heaven. This fire is not a heavenly fire, nor is it a mortal fire, but it is called a yin fire. It burns under the spring cave and penetrates the mud wall. If you can't avoid it, whether it is a god or a ghost, your internal organs will be turned into ashes, your limbs will be decayed, and your thousand years of asceticism will be illusory. Through her own path, the witch not only escaped the fire, but also preserved this yin fire and stored it in the secret room where she cultivated. The witch returned to the secret room, took out the fire, and burned a raging fire under the big ding, and the water in the ding boiled and slowly evaporated.

In the water palace, the water is already boiling, and the top of the big ding is covered with dense water vapor. The people of Qinglongzhuang saw that the Qinglong Pond suddenly fogged, and the water in the pool continued to bubble outward, and then the fog was thick, and the vision could only see a few meters ahead. Someone put their hand into the pool and felt the water get hot. It turned out that by the effect of the witch's spell, the water vapor above the big tripod corresponded to the dense fog above the Qinglong Pond, and the water level in the big tripod slowly fell, and the water level of the green dragon pool was also slowly decreasing. The water temperature in Dading has reached the boiling point of water by 100 degrees Celsius, but due to the huge size of the Qinglong Pond water, according to the similar principle in the witch's spell, the temperature of the pool water has only risen by a few degrees. With Tanshui as the center, the farther away the nearby towns are from Qinglong Pond, the weaker the impact will be. The sun was still scorching the earth, and the villages in the distance did not notice the abnormality of the water in Qinglongtan, they just felt that the temperature had risen by two degrees today, which was hotter than usual, and they scolded the weather forecast for the inaccurate temperature. The witch arranged for special people to continue to add firewood under the big ding, and after seven hundred and forty-nine days, the water in the ding and the water of the green dragon pool will be completely dried up. The nearby towns had no idea what was happening in the Blue Dragon Pond, and they were still digging pools, digging wells, looking for water, and praying for rain.
