Chapter 196: Fengxian County
Dupont, the undead archmage who had been watching in front of the crystal ball, was very surprised, and even he didn't expect Jiang No. 1 to throw Wuluojin directly into the cliff.
The skeletons in the field were stunned by his surprise operation, as they really didn't understand why Jiang Yiyi threw away this opportunity to escape the mine.
"Is he going to be a miner for the rest of his life?"
"Did he have a problem with his soul fire, and he actually threw Wuluojin into the abyss!"
"Well, wouldn't you just give it to me if you don't want it? That's a lot of gold! Why waste it?"
......
Ignoring the discussion of the skeletons, Jiang No. 1 jumped over the silt and returned to Cave 118 along the same path.
When Gerald saw Jiang No. 1 returning, he shook his head, thinking that the Wuluo gold had been snatched away by others, and he didn't know that the Wuluo gold had been thrown into the abyss by him.
Jiang Yiyi walked to the depths of the mine and found a place to start cultivating cross-legged, and the aura on his body loomed, showing signs of a breakthrough.
......
The desolate world.
Everyone gradually approached Tianzhu and came to the outer county of Tianzhu - Fengxian County.
There has been a drought here for many years, and there is no grain harvest, and the peasants' grain stocks have run out of urgency, and many people have fled to other places on the road.
Only a small part of them have fled to the country, and more are some old farmers who have inexplicable feelings for the land, and will not leave their farms at all unless they are really at a dead end.
The sand was flying on the ground, people's lips were chapped, their eyes were a little hollow, and they looked at the sky from time to time, and their expressions revealed their thirst for rain.
When Xuanzang saw this place, he immediately thought of what the Fengxian Marquis had done, only because of the conflict with the Jade Emperor who was floating in the Three Realms, and sent the fasting food that was overturned and enshrined to the dog, so many people were tired of suffering together.
"Even if that county has had a success, it shouldn't involve hundreds of people in Fengxian County to suffer together, this kind of punishment is a bit too much!"
Xuanzang thought so in his heart, and the carriage walked directly to the gate of the county town, and saw two errand officers posting the list from a distance.
The divine sense swept there, and realized that it was a Taoist monk who was recruiting and begging for rain.
"Wukong, you go and take down the list text, and our master and apprentice will ask for a timely rain for them!" Xuanzang pointed to the list and said to Sun Wukong.
"Yes, Master!"
Sun Wukong got out of the car directly, squeezed through the crowd, and unveiled the list that had just been posted not long ago.
"Someone has unveiled the list!"
The onlookers immediately shouted loudly, and the two messengers who were about to leave after posting the list heard the sound and hurriedly walked back.
"Dare to ask this elder, do you really ask for rain?" one of the officers asked respectfully.
Sun Wukong nodded and said with a smile: "Asking for rain is a piece of cake for my old grandson, the old dragon king is still my neighbor!"
The onlookers were surprised, and the attitude of the two officers became more respectful.
"Please also ask this elder to go back to the county guard mansion with us to discuss the matter of asking for rain!"
"Okay, but my grandson's master hasn't come down from the carriage yet, and he asked the two strong men to open the city gate and let us go to the county guard mansion together!"
"Yes, we'll have the front door open right away!"
"I'm tired!"
The two messengers went to talk to the soldiers guarding the gate, and the main gate of Fengxian County City slowly opened.
The white dragon pulled the RV into the Fengxian County City, and the pedestrians on the road pointed at the strange carriage.
"What kind of carriage is this? It's so huge! The white horse is so pitiful that it needs to pull such a big carriage forward!"
"Do you have to carry a horse on your shoulder?"
"It's not interesting for you to talk like that!"
"Hehe, who is not interesting? Aren't horses used to ride or pull carts?"
"You don't have compassion, haven't you heard of the equality of all beings?"
"Then why don't you let your dog go to bed and keep yourself on a leash to guard the door?"
"Are you looking for fault, are you not beaten?"
"The two brothers are dissipated, now the weather is dry and dry, and it is easy to get angry, so peace is still precious!"
"They should be outsiders! Look at the direction to go to the county guard's mansion, I hope that it will be a skilled man who can ask for rain!"
"Yes, if it doesn't rain in Fengxian County anymore, the people will have to leave their hometowns!"
......
After walking along the main road for a cup of tea, the county guard's mansion appeared in front, built in a high-walled compound, and two huge blue-faced stone lions squatted in front of the door.
After the errand officer went in to report, an old man in an official uniform walked out of it quickly, looking very eager.
When he left the mansion, he saw a strange carriage and asked, "Where is the elder who is begging for rain?"
Hearing the questioning, Xuanzang and the others got out of the carriage.
Sun Wukong also stepped forward and replied: "I'm the one who will ask for rain!"
"There are so many elders, please come in quickly! The county is waiting for you inside!" the official bowed and asked.
Xuanzang followed this official into the county guard's mansion, and the courtyard layout inside was clean and tidy, but there was no sense of magnificence, and even some places had begun to peel off the paint because of age, revealing the rotten wood inside.
There were some bamboos planted on both sides of the main hall, and there was a middle-aged man with a long beard standing at the door, who was looking at the gate of the courtyard, with a sense of reading righteousness between his eyebrows.
Seeing Xuanzang and the others, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen a few elders, and it's Fengxian County down there, dare to ask a few elders if they can pray for rain?"
"Amitabha, the poor monk is a monk who came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty to worship the Buddha in the West Heaven and ask for scriptures, my big apprentice will have some skills to pray for rain!" Xuanzang said slowly after making a Buddhist salute.
"The few masters I invited before have failed, and if this continues, the people of Fengxian County will not be able to survive......!
As he spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears and cried bitterly, it seemed that he had been under a lot of pressure these days.
"Don't be excited, my big apprentice will definitely be able to ask for rain for you!" Xuanzang stepped forward and pulled Jun Hou up and comforted.
This county is also a good official who loves the people like a son, and if it weren't for the 'good wife' in the family, things would not have developed to this point.
However, at this time, it also has something to do with Xuanzang, and the incident here may also be a plan of the heavenly court to get a piece of the pie.
After all, the merits of the Dharma transmission are like a huge piece of cake, and everyone wants to come up and get a piece of it.
"You damn enemy, why did you recruit some fake mages to come to our mansion, didn't you get deceived enough last time?"
A yin and yang female voice came from the backyard, and then a rich woman came out of the backyard, dressed in a stark contrast to the poverty of the county.
He wore an agate hairpin on his head, wore gold and silver, and had four or five rings on his hand alone.
This woman is the wife of the county hou, Yang Li, she has a big black mole on her face, and she has a disgusted expression directly on her face for Xuanzang and others.
When Jun Hou saw this woman, his face was full of bitterness, wiped away his tears, and hurriedly came up and said with a smile: "Madam, this is a holy monk from the Tang Dynasty, and he said that he would definitely be able to ask for rain!"
"Hmph, your cowardice is easy to be deceived, wasn't it bad enough to be pitted by that group of lamas last time, don't think about taking a penny from me in the future, the gold and silver you borrowed from my father before will be returned at the end of the year!" Yang Li said a few words coldly and then flicked his sleeves and left, without giving the county a face.
"I'm sorry, I don't know how to be polite, so I let the elders laugh!" Although Jun Hou was very uncomfortable in his heart, he still made a smile on his face for the sake of the people.
Xuanzang shook his head slightly, recalling the principle of those artificial rains he saw in his previous life.
Heavenly Court doesn't let the rain master rain in Fengxian County at this time, so it should always be possible to make artificial rain by yourself, right?
