The gates are now closed. Xiao Hanfeng and the others looked at each other and smiled, and disappeared. They are all cultivators, and although this gate is extremely tall, it can't stop them.

The city was lit up at the moment, illuminating the dark night as if it were day. I saw that the streets and alleys of the city were full of people, and they were all kneeling on the ground at the moment and reverently chanting something. Xiao Yao walked up to a seventeen, eighteen, or nineteen-year-old woman, squatted down and asked, "Little sister, what are you doing here?" ”

Hearing this, the woman turned her head to look at Xiao Yao, her originally frowning brows stretched out after seeing Xiao Yao's beautiful face, and whispered to Xiao Yao: "You must be from another place, no wonder you don't know." The woman looked at the kneeling people in front of her and sighed, "It hasn't rained in our Zhou Changcheng for two years, and the crops in the field have not been harvested." Now that even drinking water is a problem, and the people of the city have moved north, and some have even moved to other countries altogether. The young woman said this and hurriedly recited a few verses of the scriptures, and she became very religious again.

Xiao Yao was hearing the key, but saw that the woman didn't say any more, she just wanted to ask again when she heard the woman continue: "My emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is very worried when he sees this scene, if the people all move to other countries, then the Great Zhou Dynasty will not exist in name only?" So the emperor posted the emperor list, saying that whoever wants to make Zhou Changcheng rain will be named the national teacher. Unexpectedly, two days after this notice was posted, the two of them said that they could ask for rain, and there was a scene at this moment. ”

After speaking, the woman stopped paying attention to Xiao Yao and began to pray intently. For a while, there were no other voices, only the chanting of the crowd. Xianyu and the others listened to what Xiao Yao and the woman said clearly, and they were also a little interested in this matter of asking for rain, and the Taoist lineage is said to have some sects that specialize in practice. For example, praying for rain in such a drought, and for example, whoever dies also asks a Taoist priest to do it. These are not all tricks, some of them are really needed to reach the heavens. These sects are different from Xianyu and they specialize in one technique. Xiao Hanfeng, who has been cultivating for a long time, has only heard of it, but has never seen it. But when he heard it in Xianyu's ears, he directly regarded him as a charlatan.

Hyun-woo also saw many such people when he was begging with his grandfather in the past, begging for a long time not to rain, and finally said to the people that the dragon king was not at home today, so he was fooled in the past, so he cheated the people of their money day by day. After a year and a half, think of a way to escape. So, Hyunwoo doesn't have a good impression of these people. He snorted and said, "Those must be charlatans, I can't believe them." ”

"Young man, don't talk nonsense, this mage is really not a liar. If you have harmed all the people of our city, we will not spare you. ”

Xianyu was stunned for a moment, and then heard the prestige. I saw that the person who spoke was an old man in his sixties and seventies, and at this moment the old man was kneeling on the ground and praying with the same devotion as the rest of the people. Xianyu squatted down and asked the old man, "Uncle, why do you say that that person can really ask for rain, haven't you seen it?" ”

The old man nodded and said to Xianyu: "I have naturally seen it, and that day the world of mages and other altars was darkened. However, there was no rain at that time, and the Master said that it depends on whether our hearts are sincere or not. ”

Xianyu smiled bitterly in his heart and asked the old man: "Then how can it be considered sincere, do you want to take the silver out?" Xianyu added another sentence in his heart: "It's really a charlatan." ”

But seeing that the old man listened to Xianyu's words, he shook his head and said, "No, the mage didn't care what money we wanted, but ...... He asked us for the hearts of thirteen young girls. It is said that as long as the hearts of eighteen girls are offered, they can help us avoid drought in Zhouchangcheng. ”

Xianyu's heart tightened when he heard the old man's words, and Xiao Hanfeng and the others were also shocked. If a person has no heart, he will not be able to live. According to the old man's words, did he not say that if he wanted to avoid the drought, he would have to kill eighteen young girls?

Xianyu suddenly got up and turned his head to say something to Xiao Hanfeng and the others. I saw that Xiao Hanfeng and the others were all looking ahead at the moment, and Xianyu followed their gaze. At the end of the street was a square, and there was a high platform on top of it. On that high platform were eighteen thick pillars, and on each pillar was a maiden.

Xiao Yao was about to rush forward when he saw this scene, but Xiao Hanfeng grabbed his arm and said to her: "Don't be impulsive first, it's not too late to see who this mage is." ”

"That's right, we don't know each other's details. Besides, if you do it rashly, it is very likely to disturb the people of this city. Hyun Woo said lightly. Although they are all cultivators, there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky. Unless he becomes the strongest of the Three Realms and Six Realms, his arrogance will only bring disaster to himself.

At this time, the surroundings suddenly fell silent. The noisy chanting had stopped, and even the breathing of the crowd could not be heard. Hyunwoo's eyes were fixed on the huge platform, and he knew that the master was about to appear. Sure enough, a black mist suddenly appeared in the middle of the high platform, and slowly a Taoist priest wearing a black Taoist robe appeared on the high platform. Xianyu and the others walked forward quickly, they didn't want to make a move with the Taoist priest at this moment, they just wanted to get closer.

When they got closer, Xianyu and the others also saw clearly, and the Taoist robe on this Taoist priest was pitch black. If it weren't for the gray and white Tai Chi patterns on it, Xianyu and the others might not have recognized this as Taoist clothing, and then looked at the Taoist priest, his long hair was scattered and draped over his shoulders, and there was a black Tai Chi dot at the center of his eyebrows, which looked very weird. Although he was wearing a Taoist robe, Xianyu and the others could conclude that this person was definitely not a righteous person.

The Taoist priest looked at the people under the stand, and then at the eighteen girls in the stand. The oldest of these girls was fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest was only eleven or twelve years old. After seeing those girls, a trace of greed flashed in the Taoist priest's eyes. But when his eyes fell on the crowd again, the greedy gaze disappeared.

I only heard the Taoist priest say to the people in the audience: "All the people of Zhouchang City, this seat has seen your sincerity. You're doing a great job. Therefore, this seat has decided to let Zhouchang rain tonight to ensure that the wind and rain in the whole city will be smooth for ten years!! After listening to the Taoist priest's words, all the people looked happy, although it was only ten years, but who knows what will happen after ten years?

Just when everyone's hearts were happy, a middle-aged woman suddenly rushed out of the crowd. The middle-aged woman cried and said to the Taoist priest on the stage: "Master, why do you have to ask for my daughter's heart." Can the hearts and minds of adults succeed? …… Woowoo...... Use mine, my heart and soul are willing to give it to the master. ”

The Taoist priest raised his eyebrows when he looked at the miserable middle-aged woman who was crying, and said to everyone: "If this is the case, I am afraid that the rain will not come tonight." Alas, if any of you are reluctant to take his own child's seat, he will not be reluctant. It's just that this seat can't do anything about the drought in Changcheng this week, so this seat went. With that, the priest turned around and was about to leave.

The people in the audience were very anxious when they saw this scene, although they also sympathized with the middle-aged woman who was crying, but it was a matter of life and death for the people in the city, and they could not do anything. Several young and strong men hurriedly got up to pull the crying middle-aged woman down, but the middle-aged woman struggled fiercely and refused to leave. A childish voice sounded from the high platform: "Mother, don't cry, my uncles and uncles all say that as long as I am tied to a pillar, it will rain in the sky, and there will be nothing wrong today." ”

The middle-aged woman who was struggling trembled slightly when she heard this voice, and she looked at an eleven or twelve-year-old figure on the stage with tears in her eyes. The little girl was smiling and looking at the middle-aged woman, who was the middle-aged woman's daughter. The smile on the little girl's face was so innocent and so cute. The people in the audience were all sad, and the middle-aged woman screamed and then fainted. The young men glanced at each other, and their hearts were unbearable, but they still pulled the middle-aged woman down. In their opinion, it was worth sacrificing eighteen little girls for the sake of hundreds of thousands of people. At all times, fairness is only for the majority. Although these people are reluctant to give up the eighteen little girls on the stage, they will definitely not give up the opportunity for the rain to rain for the sake of the eighteen little girls.

Xiao Yao's eyes were full of anger at this moment, and she had already thought that as long as the Taoist priest dared to move the eighteen girls on the stage, she would rush up and destroy the Taoist priest. Xiao Hanfeng whispered to a few people: "Although we are all cultivators, it is not appropriate to ask more about Hongchen. But since we have encountered today's events, we naturally cannot sit idly by. Later, if there is no other way, we will go up and surround the demon path. Even if you can't kill them for a while, you have to save the eighteen girls on the stage first. ”

Several people nodded in agreement after listening to Xiao Hanfeng's words, and at this moment, their eyes were already full of killing intent. In their opinion, there is only one fate for this demon, and that is death. However, Hyunwoo's eyes were very calm when he looked at the demon Dao, and there was no anger in his eyes, not a trace of waves. Because in his eyes, the Taoist priest was already a dead man.

Speaking of the Taoist priest, although he had turned around, his body had never moved. Seeing that the crying middle-aged woman was pulled down, the Taoist priest turned around and sighed at everyone and said, "For the sake of the people of Changcheng this week, this seat is reluctant to leave like this." As he spoke, he looked at the little girls in the stands, and the greedy gaze appeared in his eyes again. He stepped forward, stroked the little girl who had just spoken to his mother, and said to everyone: "These girls are the benefactors of Zhou Changcheng, you must always remember them." ”

With that, the Taoist priest slowly walked towards the center of the platform. He walked very slowly, as if enjoying the feeling of stepping, and he was reluctant to walk too fast. Xianyu and several people in the audience also used boiling water to run the true power and Buddha power in their bodies. They knew that the Taoist priest was going to make a move.
