Chapter 55: Yiyang City

The thunder rumbled and the lightning flickered, the black clouds pressed on the city like a mountain, the city gates were all open, many drainage canals were temporarily dug in the city, the streets that were bustling on weekdays were empty, the raindrops of beans crackled and smashed on the ground, trees and roofs, and some children secretly looked outside through the crack in the door, but the eyes of the rain were like looking at knives, curious and afraid.

The rain has been falling for half a month, and the grain has begun to mold, many residents in Yiyang City have run to Tanzhou under the heavy rain, but the people who ran out have disappeared in the heavy rain, and when the tenth person is missing, the residents of Yiyang City dare not try again. They hide in their homes, feeding on scraps of food, waiting for the light of death or survival. Originally, this area of Tanzhou was the sphere of influence of the Water Moon Pavilion, but the branch master of the Water Moon Pavilion in Yiyang was to escort the first batch of people out of the city and go missing, and the disciples of the Water Moon Pavilion were leaderless, and the pavilion master Zhong Limingyue told them the day before yesterday that there would be monks to help, which rekindled the hope of these people.

But listening to the hall master, it is a thousand-year-old black Jiao who is making trouble, looking at its current power to call for wind and rain, and attract thunder and lightning, how many people will it take to subdue it?

Yamen.

Yiyang County Ling Jiang Jingkui sat on the chair of the yamen and looked at the raging rain outside, and swallowed a sigh that came to his lips. His clothes had not been changed for five days, and in such weather, he could not dry his clothes at all after washing, and most of the wood was damp when he roasted them with fire, and it was too luxurious to make a fire to bake his clothes, so the county magistrate, who had always had a habit of cleanliness, could only endure it.

Just when Jiang Jingkui was thinking about his wife who was pregnant for ten months, a servant with an umbrella ran in a panic: "My lord, my lord! Here we are!" He ran in a panic, seeing that the mud spots on his body should have fallen because he ran too quickly, although he shouted incoherently, his mud-stained face smiled: "The immortal elders are here! The immortal elders are here, my lord!"

"What, the immortal chief is here?" Jiang Jingkui, who just wanted to reprimand his subordinates for soiling the lobby, suddenly forgot what he wanted to train, and slapped the shocked wood: "Where is the immortal chief?

"Ouch!" This loud noise startled the officer, holding the knife and looking around, for fear of what kind of monster it was; after looking at it for a long time and finding that there was no movement, it was only then that the adult realized that it was the adult who slapped the wood, and his body softened: "I said my lord, don't be so startled after saying it a few times! Pan Jiuzheng is leading the immortal chief to this side, and he will be there soon!" Jiang Jingkui coughed twice, his eyes drifted away, and he was a little embarrassed: "Okay, okay, you know, go down quickly, see how dirty you are on the ground!"

The official wanted to say something, but saw a few blue-clothed people in the back hall walking out quickly, and hurriedly bowed: "I wish the immortal chief." Congratulations smiled bitterly in his heart, waved his hand to him, and the officials got out of the way, and saw the few people in blue standing in front of the hall, looking respectful and a little excited to finally be saved, staring at the door;

Among them, the woman in green clothes looked at the blue-clothed disciple who bowed her hand, and asked softly, "You are the disciples of the Water Moon Pavilion?"

"Yes. The disciple congratulated him on his temporary assumption of the position of head of the church. Congratulations hurriedly replied, secretly glanced at the woman in green clothes, and really deserved the reputation of 'occupying all the colors of the three clears, and the immortals are unparalleled', with a graceful posture and a beautiful face, but it is a pity that the scar on the left eye makes this white bi flawed and the green lotus is injured;

Xia Han nodded slightly, and a few people straightened up, congratulating her Seeing that her eyes fell on Jiang Jingkui, she hurriedly said: "This is Lord Jiang of Yiyang County, Lord Jiang, this is Miss Xia of the Migu Valley, Miss Xia Han of the 'Qinglian Immortal'." ”

"Miss Xia is polite, and several immortals are polite. Jiang Jingkui also came to his senses at this moment, and hurriedly saluted everyone, a few people knew that Shuiyue Pavilion and the Xia family had a close relationship, and they didn't bother to be careful about doing so, so they each reported the name of the Immortal Mansion. After some greetings, Yu Tianhe first spoke and returned to the topic: "We don't know much about this matter, I don't know if you can tell us how this rain started?"

Jiang Jingkui and Congratulatory glanced at each other, the latter made a gesture of please, Jiang Jingkui cleared his throat, and said, "Ahem, this rain started a month ago." It stands to reason that there was no such heavy rain in Yiyang in February, but a month ago, it suddenly rained heavily, and it rained for a day and a night, and the lake flooded many farmlands near the lake. At that time, I only did the weather abnormality, and I didn't think much about it, but I didn't expect that there would be a heavy rain in the next three or five days, so I tossed it twice, and the official didn't take it to heart, until someone in the city said that he saw a big black dragon in Yunmengze, and some people said that he also saw it in the clouds, I didn't think something was right, and I found the immortal chief of Shuiyue Pavilion. ”

Congratulations took over the conversation: "At that time, Lord Jiang found the branch master, and we immediately set out to investigate the matter, only to find out that Yunmeng Zedi has always had a thousand-year-old black Jiao, but it has been in peace since it was injured a hundred years ago. It stands to reason that we should have been informed of this matter as soon as possible, but even the pavilion master did not know about it, so he immediately wrote to Shushan. It was then that the rain began to fall again, and it never stopped. The branch master originally wanted to escort the residents to Tanzhou, but disappeared on the way, and we used secret techniques to track it down and found ...... The branch master has been buried at the bottom of the lake. ”

"How many people are missing?" asked Wufeng.

"Ten-" Congratulations were about to answer, but the official snatched the words: "Twelve." Seeing that everyone's eyes fell on him, the little servant shrank and lowered his voice by two degrees: "I lost two more ...... this morning." All were seven or eight year olds. ”

Jiang Jingkui's eyes widened, holding the shocking wood and about to shoot, remembering that so many people were present, in the end he just slammed the table lightly, and yelled at the officer: "Why didn't anyone come to tell the official about such a big matter! Didn't you say that you are not allowed to go out of the house and run around, how can anyone still be missing!"

The official almost shrunk his neck, and in the face of the angry eyes of the adults, he trembled and said: "I can't get out of the house for many days, such a big child, I can't hold it back......"

Seeing that Jiang Jingkui grabbed the startling wood again, Yu Tianhe coughed lightly and said comfortingly: "Lord Jiang, don't be too excited, that black Jiao has been cultivated for thousands of years, and it will transform into an adult, even if you don't leave home, you can't prevent it at all." At the moment, the top priority is not to let Heijiao succeed anymore, and this matter is left to us. Saying that, he took out a stack of talismans from his sleeve, not to mention hundreds, Rao is Xia Han was also taken aback, wondering if he had brought all the talismans from Shushan: "These talismans are sent by adults to divide them, and two are pasted in one family, although they can't trap the demons, but they can sense the demonic energy, so it is convenient for us to rush there immediately." ”

"Thank you, Immortal Chief. Pan Jiu, Liu Si, you go and call two more people, and send them down immediately! No one can leak it!" Jiang Jingkui hurriedly ordered, Liu Si on the side simply agreed, took the pile of talismans and strode away, and suddenly turned back halfway through: "Immortal Chief, is your talisman waterproof?"

"Poof. Three hundred chuckled, and Wufeng glanced at her helplessly, who rolled his eyes and pursed his lips, but anyone could see the smile in his eyes. Yu Tianhe casually pinched a trick, pointed at Liu Si's body, and a faint yellow light appeared above three inches of his skin: "Now you are on guard." ”

"Thank you, Immortal Chief!" Liu Si gave Yu Tianhe a snort, and ran away.

Xia Han and Yu Tianhe looked at each other and smiled, and said to Jiang Jingkui: "I'm tired of Lord Jiang arranging a few rooms for us, whether it's in the yamen or the inn." ”

"If you immortal elders don't give up, why don't you go to this official mansion?" Jiang Jingkui asked cautiously, seeing that the four of them all nodded, he immediately led the way in front. He also saved his own thoughts, after all, her wife was pregnant for ten months, maybe she was born in this month, if these immortals lived in their own homes, it would also be an extra layer of protection.

In the evening, Liu Si and Pan Jiu came to the house to resume their lives, and the talisman had already been sent from door to door, and both of them watched them paste it before leaving. Three hundred has not fully recovered, after eating some soup and rice less porridge, they dozed off, several people have lived in Bigu, it doesn't matter if they don't eat for a few months, so they told Jiang Jingkui that they don't need to prepare food for them anymore, and the family is important. Jiang Jingkui thanked him a lot, and chatted with Yu Tianhe about the old teacher Yu Qian, and praised this person in and out of words, Xia Han and Wufeng were too lazy to listen, so they said goodbye one after another, Yu Tianhe couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, but fortunately, Jiang Jingkui also had eyesight, and he didn't suffer much.

Several people's rooms were in the same courtyard, and Wufeng settled the three hundred, but I saw Xia Han standing in the courtyard, not knowing what he was thinking. Out of politeness, he said hello: "Miss Xia." ”

"Windless Boy. Xia Han nodded with a smile: "The innocent girl is asleep?"

"For half a day, it's good that she didn't sleep directly in the yamen. Wufeng smiled bitterly and said, "What about Miss Xia, don't you want to take a break?"

"I'm not sleepy, I just don't understand something. Young Master Yu didn't come back for a long time, so he waited in the courtyard. The woman in Tsing Yi sighed lightly, a little helpless: "It stands to reason that each family will investigate the demons and mass graves in their territories, and this kind of thousand-year-old demon should not only send a small branch here, I just asked congratulations, and the branch master is also a peak immortal." What's even more strange is that Water Moon Pavilion didn't know that there was such a big demon in its territory...... Don't you think it's too weird?"

Wufeng bowed slightly: "I felt that it was wrong when he said it, but Life and Death Tai didn't know much about old things, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help Miss Xia." Xia Han shook his head: "The windless boy has seen the outside." I'll wait for Young Master Yu, you go and rest first. ”

"Good. "Wufeng should be said to be the weakest of the four, although he barely broke through the earth immortal with the help of the power of the golden lotus, but the control of the power of the earth immortal is still insufficient, he is naturally happy to rest. Watching the man in white close the door, Xia Han looked up at the dark night sky and exhaled deeply.
