After the lecture, some of the monks who had not yet understood what Rukong had said came to him and whispered to him for advice.

Rukong patiently explained, and explained thoroughly to the monks who came to ask for advice. Occasionally, there are one or two obsessions in one place, and those who can't understand the truth thoroughly and are stubborn, they don't get tired of it, and they whisper to them in a gentle voice.

A lecture doesn't take long, but with all the things that follow, it takes a whole day to give a lecture.

In the evening, the monks said goodbye.

In seven days, the monks will come here again to listen to the teachings of the Zen master who had left the country.

It has become a practice for Zen Master Rukong to give a lecture every seven days. You don't have to ask too much, you don't have to think too much, when the time comes, you can come here and listen to the Dharma teachings of Zen Master Rukong.

"Zen Master Rukong,"

The monks left, and a young man standing beside him walked over. Xiang Rukong arched his hand, and the young man said, "It's hard work." ”

The young man had been standing by for three hours, and had not come forward, nor had anyone speak to him. Speaking at this moment, the young man's tone was indifferent, and he didn't seem to feel how boring and boring Fang Cai's waiting.

"Mr. Shixiao. Rukong stood up and saluted the young man, "Mr. Shi has been busy treating the plague, how can he have such leisure today?"

Soon after Rukong and Shi Qingsong entered the White Elephant Country from southern Xinjiang, they encountered a severe drought in the White Elephant Country.

The climate of the White Elephant Country is much hotter than that of leaving the country. In previous years, even if there was no major drought, ordinary people did not have a good time. Unless the monks of a certain sect in the country are willing to take action and practice rain and moisten, they can be relieved a little.

It's just that all the monks in the White Elephant Country are difficult to invite, even if the monks in the small sects who are not in the stream, they have a little mana, and they are only a hundred zhang square in the clouds and rain, and they have to have rich wealth and offerings to make a move, so they are willing to do something.

If you can't make up the money, then you can only hold on. It is inevitable that the weather will be hot, and it will damage the crops, but after all, there will be a harvest and life will go on.

This year, however, there was a major drought. The land cracked, the crops withered, and the grain harvest was not one out of ten.

How much the harvest will be will be a matter for the future. Although he has to go hungry, he has a stutter in front of him. Although the people in the White Elephant Kingdom are complaining about the hardships, if it is just like this, the current life can barely go on.

The real big trouble is the drought.

The drought caused the water source to dry up and the river to cut off. Water can only be drained from the sediment to have a daily drink.

Although there are rivers and water sources in the White Elephant Country, they cannot be used by the whole country after all. If there is a drought in a place, how can the great rivers that are thousands of miles away be rescued?

Heat, thirst, and hunger arose, and many people died as a result.

Someone gathered a golden silk offering and begged to go to the sect of the White Elephant Kingdom, praying that the monks would use their means to rain and drive away drought. But these sect monks took the opportunity to ask for the price and increased the gold silk offering tenfold.

If you can't get enough of it, you won't make a move.

In this regard, the explanations of the various sects in the White Elephant Kingdom are strikingly similar: the cultivation of the monks is their own hard work, and the means and mana are also their own. Now there is a great drought, but it is not the responsibility of the monks. If the monk wants to help relieve the drought, he must meet the monk's requirements. If you can't meet the requirements of the monk, you are not sincere enough, and you can't complain about others.

Many people died of thirst, hunger, heat, and so on, and some died in the struggle for water.

There is water in one place, there is no water in the other, and the two places are very close to each other, how can there be no fighting?

Water is life. Once you get involved in such a fight, you are fighting for your life.

How can there be no casualties?

If he dies, his relatives may bury him. But some of the families died, and there was no one to clean up and bury them.

The dead bodies were unburied, and for a few days in such weather, maggots would breed. A plague ensued.

Together, the plague is more terrible than drought and summer heat. Once contaminated, if there is no medicine, it is a dead end.

The sect monks in the White Elephant Kingdom sat still, and by the way, the price of the rain to drive away drought was doubled.

When Rukong and Shi Qingsong first arrived in the White Elephant Country, they faced such a situation.

Although Shi Qingsong is a demon clan, he has been living in secular towns and has seen a lot of human feelings. If you want to talk about the sophistication of human feelings and the exchange of interests, he understands it better, such as emptiness.

But what he saw was really incomprehensible to him.

The Immortal Dao Sect ignored this, and that's it. The government and the opposition and officials of the White Elephant Country don't know what to do?

There is a great drought, the grain harvest fails, the famine is not this year but next year, and the people die of thirst and heat, which breeds diseases and pestilences, and many lives will be lost as a result.

The government and opposition officials of the White Elephant Country do not care about the lives and deaths of ordinary people, are they not afraid that these things will shake the national foundation of the White Elephant Country?

Although it is not good to order the sects in the White Elephant Kingdom, with the power of the White Elephant Kingdom, it is always possible to raise enough gold silk offerings for the sect monks to sell, right?

Why not?

Shi Qingsong really couldn't figure it out.

If you don't understand, then simply don't think about it. Shi Qingsong and Rukong don't think about anything else, they just do what they do best.

Although Buddhism does not worship magic and mana, it cannot rely on words and tongues alone to purify sentient beings. Among the methods that Rukong has learned, there is a "Pure Land Ganlin Mantra".

This is the magic method of Buddhism, which can gather water and gas with mana and turn into rain and fall. Every drop of rain has been blessed by the magic of Buddhism, which can rejuvenate dead wood and have the wonderful effect of healing people.

It is not difficult to rain down with the power of the air. His magic power is strong, and he has the help of the relics of the Buddhist masters that Xu Qi gave before, and as soon as he casts the spell, it will rain for ten days and nights within a radius of dozens of miles.

A rain of rain finally alleviated the drought within a radius of dozens of miles. Many people in the White Elephant Country who are struggling on the line of life and death have been given their lives because of this Ganlin.

Shi Qingsong took local materials and found all kinds of medicinal materials to refine them into medicines to dispel plagues and treat diseases. Where there is a plague, the corpse is first burned by magic, and then the medicine is spread to dispel the plague.

After a lot of hard work, the two finally pulled that place back from the place of death.

In the White Elephant Country, the drought is not limited to this place. The land that the two of them pulled out of the dead land within a radius of dozens of miles was only a drop in the bucket compared to the drought-stricken land of the entire White Elephant Country.

A monk and a demon pondered for a while, and felt that they could do whatever they could. If you can save one place, you can save other places.

The people of the White Elephant Country are not the people who have left the country, and they have nothing to do with this monk or demon. But human life is human life after all, and it does not change because it is the same kind of language. Now that you have seen such a scene with your own eyes, if you don't care about it, what difference does it have from those onlookers?

As for how far and how far to go, a monk and a demon have no plan in their hearts. Once you have decided on this matter, then you will do it, and then you don't have to think about what it will be afterward. Wherever you can do it, you can do it.

When there is really nothing to be done, or the drought and plague in this white elephant country are completely wiped out, this matter will be over.

A monk and a demon think so, but the development of this matter is not satisfactory.

Only a day or two after he pulled the land out of the dead ground, a monk from the sect came to him.

The monk claimed to be a disciple of the Great Zen Temple, and came to ask a monk and a demon why they did not have the consent of the Great Zen Temple to cast spells here at will.

When saving people, Rukong was also asked many times by the people whether he was from the Great Zen Temple. For this great Zen temple, a monk and a demon can be regarded as having heard of it.

The Great Chan Temple is the territory of this sect within a radius of 100 miles. It is said to be territorial, but in fact, the Great Zen Temple has no power over the people within a radius of 100 miles, and it rarely involves the daily affairs of ordinary people. It's just that within these hundred miles, the monks pass and stay, and they all want to say hello to the Great Zen Temple.

If the Great Zen Temple does not allow it, then ordinary monks will really not be able to gain a foothold within this radius of 100 miles.

Monks with advanced cultivation naturally don't put the Great Zen Temple in their eyes, they can do whatever they want, and the Great Zen Temple will not take the initiative to provoke.

A monk and a demon do things on their own after discussing and coming up with an idea. Although he knew about the existence of the Great Zen Temple, he did not take these matters to discuss with the Great Zen Temple.

Shi Qingsong and Rukong are from Wanling Mountain in southern Xinjiang, except for Chiyangzi, who is currently in charge of affairs in Wanling Mountain, and the Jiuyang Demon Venerable, they will no longer listen to the orders and moderation of others. Even the Chiyang Zidao Chief, who was in charge of the affairs of Wanling Mountain when the Jiuyang Demon Venerable was away, didn't order Shi Qingsong and Rukong. If there is an order, nine out of ten are for the Jiuyang Demon Venerable.

At present, a monk and a demon want to do something to save people from the dead, and they know that this thing is good, and there is no reason to discuss it with the Great Zen Temple.

Wait until the Great Zen Temple nods before going to do things? Shi Qingsong and Rukong have no reason to be constrained by this, and they don't want to waste this time.

Now the people of the Great Zen Temple came to the door and questioned a monk and a demon, but Shi Qingsong and Rukong were quite surprised.

--I realized that I had done something to save one side for the Great Zen Temple, but it was as if I had done something unseemly, which attracted the questioning of the Great Zen Temple.

What kind of truth is this?

A monk and a demon debated this matter with the monks of the Great Zen Temple, and the monks of the Great Zen Temple said that they were high-sounding at the beginning, but later they were impatient, so they told the root of the matter: If there was no Shi Qingsong and Rukong to do this, many people would have died in this place. At that time, when the human heart wants to survive and truly feels that death is near, it will completely give up everything to find a way to live.

They took out everything they had, and gathered enough gold silk and offerings to invite the monks of the Great Zen Temple to make a move, and the Great Zen Temple would make a move. In that way, those who survived this drought will have to thank the Great Zen Temple for saving their lives.

And the people who paid for their houses and even land, although they have their lives, they have no place to stand. At that time, the Great Zen Temple will be able to recruit these people who have lost their foundation to serve as serfs and shed blood and sweat for the Great Zen Temple.

There is a deeper calculation here: those who can survive the drought must be strong and strong, and those who are old and sick, or not strong enough, will not survive this disaster to the end.

This drought is like a sifting of people, who can be selected for the most suitable manpower.
