Chapter 149: Illusion
From the outside, you can see a small dark cloud, floating above the granary, this dark cloud is like a water bladder full of water, opening its mouth to the courtyard, and the rain is pouring downward.
Ordinary people describe the rain as heavy, often used to describe the downpour, but the rain poured down in this dark cloud is no longer a downpour can be described, this is simply like a waterfall, falling rapidly from a high altitude and falling in the granary yard.
Li Mu had already pulled Zhang Shihong to hide under the eaves at this time, he looked up at the dark clouds above, looked at the waterfall that suddenly poured down in the sky, and showed a shocked face: "Calling for wind and rain!" This is a great power! This old demon is so powerful? ”
He only now realized that he had looked away, originally thought that this bald old demon was just an old monster who couldn't walk anymore and was dying, even if he had mana, it couldn't be profound, after all, where would there be a monster with a crutch?
And he's so old, he's out of breath when he walks, and he seems to be burping at any time, this mental state is not as good as even an ordinary old man, not to mention that he's still a monster.
The monster is so old that it is already a sign of declining qi and blood, and it will not be a sign of death soon.
Because Li Mu is constricting the essence and energy in his body, if it is not necessary, he is unwilling to use magic to check the other party's origin, and generally acts by feeling.
But I didn't expect that this is an old demon, although he is old, he is not weak, but he is a big monster with amazing magical powers!
With only a bowl of tea and water as an introduction, he can call the wind and rain and change the celestial phenomena, which is already a great supernatural power!
Although the dark clouds he summoned were a bit small, and the area covered was only limited to the granary compound, which was pitiful compared to the ordinary dark clouds and thunderbolts, but this dark cloud only shrouded the granary compound, and did not overflow at all, and the wind was limited to the courtyard, and the rain only poured into the courtyard.
This kind of detail is enough to see his amazing control over this dark cloud, he can control the celestial phenomena to the point of detail, his cultivation is profound, and his mastery of magic can be imagined.
Zhang Shihong stood beside Li Mu, his mouth opened in surprise: "Brother Li, this ...... Why are these dark clouds and torrential rain concentrated in our yard? Is this old bald man doing it? ”
Li Mu said with a smile: "Don't worry, everything is blocked by Master Zhou, don't worry." ”
Zhang Shihong turned his head to look at Zhou Daoquan, only to see Zhou Daoquan standing under the jujube tree in the courtyard, with his hands behind his back, looking at the old demon Guizhong, when the torrential rain poured above his head, he was blocked by an invisible force, and above his head, along an invisible air hood, flowing in all directions.
Mo said that his clothes had never been wet by the rain, and he was all three feet in circumference, and even the ground under his feet was dry, and his whole person was like standing in another world, looking down at the old demon in the courtyard, with no sadness or joy.
Not only did Zhou Daoquan's clothes not get wet by the rain, but he was carrying a tea bowl and a cane in the courtyard, and his clothes were not wet by the rain, and the rain in the sky poured obliquely into the small hole in front of him when it passed over his head.
Inside this small hole is a grain of wheat seed that Guizhong has thrown away.
In the midst of the rainstorm, Gui Zhong bowed slightly to Zhou Daoquan: "My lord, it's ugly!" ”
Zhou Daoquan bowed slightly: "Please!" ”
Gui Zhong didn't say more, raised the cane in his hand, pointed to the ground and shouted softly: "The sky is full of water splashes, just for the crops, sprout quickly, tassel and bloom!" ”
In his soft shout, a green bud suddenly grew in the original cave, and then the green bud was full of water, slowly stretched his body, and rapidly grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing that it is shaped like a leek, growing upward, there is only a little green at the beginning, and after a while, it is more than a foot high, and after a while, there is already a person tall, the whole body is green, the middle is straight and the outside is straight, like a small tree, but the image is the form of a wheat plant.
"A wheat seed was planted into a wheat tree?"
Li Mu couldn't help but admire: "It can actually change the genetic form of the species, what kind of method is this old demon performing?" ”
He grew up in the countryside when he was a child, and it wasn't until he was about to go to college that his grandfather asked for his former house from Taocheng and funded his father to open a medical center.
When Li Mu lived in the countryside, he did a lot of farm work, and he was naturally familiar with planting crops, and he didn't know how many times he had seen wheat, and sometimes the wheat was lodging, and he had to hold a sickle and harvest it manually, so he would never be wrong about the appearance of wheat, the most common crop.
I saw that the wheat grew bigger and bigger, and gradually became like a big tree, three feet high, and the leaves drooped down and pressed against the roof.
The whole wheat enveloped the entire granary compound.
By this time the rain had stopped in the sky, the dark clouds slowly dissipated, and all the rain on the ground collected under the wheat trees, and after a while, the floor of the house was dry, and there was no more moisture.
Looking at the dry and crisp ground, it seems that the heavy rain just now is an illusion.
But the wheat-shaped tree in the courtyard covered the sky of the entire courtyard, and it stood in front of him, but he couldn't fake it at all.
Zhang Shihong was dumbfounded: "Brother Li, this is ...... How does wheat grow so big? ”
Li Mu's eyes flashed with fire, and under his eyes, he had already seen the big tree clearly, and said with a smile: "It's just an illusion, it scared Lao Tzu a lot!" ”
When he was cultivating, his eyes were tempered by pure yang fire, and he already had some magical powers, not only could emit pure yang fire, but also could distinguish demons and evils, and cultivated to the extreme, which was the legendary "Thunder Punishment Heavenly Eye".
Although it is only a preliminary supernatural power at this time, it is enough to be able to break through the illusion and gain insight into the truth.
The wheat tree in the courtyard, under his eyes, suddenly changed its shape, no longer the appearance of wheat, but the appearance of a crutch, which was the crutch in the hands of the old demon just now.
Now the cane was stuck in the ground, and the branches sprouted, and it turned into a big tree, and it became the form of wheat, not a real grain of wheat, and it became what it is now.
What has really changed is the crutches of returning, not the seeds.
"This old demon's crutches are good!"
After seeing the body of this wheat tree clearly, Li Mufang breathed a sigh of relief: "The illusion technique is also extremely clever!" ”
Although calling for wind and rain can be regarded as a great supernatural power, it is still a bit inadequate compared to the means of changing life forms and turning wheat into large trees.
You must know that the supernatural power of changing the life form is already a supernatural power of creation, in Li Mu's impression, except for Nuwa Niangniang in the mythological biography who has this kind of supernatural power, there is no living soul who can have such a great supernatural power.
If the old demon in front of him really has the magic power of creation, Li Mu and the others simply knelt down and shouted to Dad.
"I can tell it's an illusion, I don't know if Master Zhou can see it?"
Thinking of this, Li Mu turned his head to look at Zhou Daoquan, only to see Zhou Daoquan still standing in the courtyard expressionlessly, after sensing Li Mu's gaze, the old master nodded to Li Mu and did not speak.
"It turns out that Master Zhou can also see that this is a clever illusion."
Li Mu suddenly thought in his heart: "He is an orthodox Confucian today, and he has magical powers, I am afraid that it is by no means measurable by ordinary people, although this old demon illusion method is strong, it can't hide from him!" ”
Thinking that Zhou Daoquan only lent Guizhong a seed just now, it can be seen that he had already expected Guizhong's current actions.
At this time, the courtyard returned to the movement again, he kept circling around the big tree, and sang a strange song in his mouth, in the sound of the song, the big tree slowly stopped growing, began to fork and pluck, tasseled and flowered, and a big tree was full of ears of wheat, standing straight up to the sky.
After a while, the whole trunk turned from green to yellow, and the green trunk turned to withered yellow, and the ears of wheat grew bigger and bigger, and the unique taste of wheat grains floated in the air.
After a while, Guizhong climbed up to the tree, and began to shake the branches, and the whole tree shook violently, and then the grains of wheat rained down from the sky, and in an instant, they covered the ground and reached their knees.
Zhang Shihong's eyes widened and muttered to himself: "If the people of the world can grow food like this, why worry about starvation!" ”
Li Mu said: "How can gold fall from the sky? You can't drop food! If you look at it, do you really believe it? ”
Zhang Shihong said: "This ...... With so much wheat piled up in the courtyard, can't you believe it? ”
Li Mu smiled: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, let's continue to watch." ”
After shaking the tree for a while, and shaking all the grains on the ears of wheat, he slowly climbed down the trunk of the tree and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, forgive me for being rude. ”
He took out a dusty cloth from his bosom, took it in his hand and shook it gently, and the cloth turned into a pocket, and he shook it again, and the pocket became much larger, and if he shook it several times, the pocket was already the size of a normal pocket.
After shaking so many times, Guizhong was so tired that the sweat on his forehead couldn't stop flowing, and after wheezing for a while, he took out a small dustpan from his arms, and shook it in the wind, and the dustpan also grew rapidly.
He opened the bag, erected it on the ground, stooped down and put the grain in a dustpan, and poured it into the bag.
His bag looked the size of an ordinary bag, but until Guizhong put all the wheat grains in the courtyard into the bag, the bag was still shriveled.
After putting away all the wheat, Gui Zhong came to Zhou Daoquan and knelt down and saluted: "Lord Zhou, you allow me to plant a seed three times, and after three times, there is no harvest. This is the first time, I have already used it, the two seeds in the back, I am going to let my Taoist friends plant them, I don't know if it is possible? ”
Zhou Dao was completely expressionless: "How many Taoist friends do you have in the Que Yue Cave?" Geometry? ”
Gui Zhong said: "Although there are not many, there are still three or five Shendao friends." ”
Zhou Daoquan said: "In a cave world, there are three or five great masters of the god transformation period, but there are not many, I don't know if there are Taoist friends who are combined and crossed the tribulation period?" ”
Guizhong silently did not answer.
Zhou Daoquan nodded: "If you don't say it, it seems that there should be something wrong in your cave world, which made you take the risk to come to the world to borrow food." But now that the Great Yin Dynasty has been suffering from natural disasters for many years, it is not easy for the people to survive, and the grain can give you a little, but the grain cannot be given to you. ”
He said to Guizhong: "There are two remaining opportunities to grow grain, you can only plant it yourself, and you can't let others replace it, and you need to tell me in advance, in front of me, or ......."
Zhou Daoquan stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Mu: "Let Mu Zhi be a witness!" ”
Gui Zhong looked at Li Mu, and there was a bit of panic in his two small eyes, and after a while, he saluted Zhou Daoquan and said, "Thank you for your mercy, Que Yueshan is a vein, I am grateful!" ”
He stood up, nodded to Zhou Daoquan, looked at Li Mu again, and nodded, then he carried the bag and walked outside with a crutch.
Seeing this return slowly walking away, Li Mu came to Zhou Daoquan's side: "My lord, this old demon is in the courtyard of the imperial court, and if he does such an illusion, he must have a plot, and he can't let him leave!" ”
Zhou Daoquan waved his hand and said, "It's okay!" The left and right are just borrowing grain, with the old man in charge, he has mana, and he can't borrow much! ”
When he said this, he instructed Zhang Shihong: "Shihong, you take someone to the granary to see, how much surplus grain is there?" ”
Zhang Shihong said: "Boss, the grain pile in the granary is full, several grain hoards are full, I just saw it this morning, there is a lot of food!" ”
Although he said this, he still took a few grain officials to open the door of the grain depot and went inside to check.
"Why is there so much less?"
As soon as Zhang Shihong entered the grain warehouse, he let out an exclamation: "There is no wheat in the grain hoard!" Someone is stealing food! ”
He ran out of the granary in a panic: "Boss, Muzhi, someone is stealing grain!" Steal a full hoard! ”
Zhou Daoquan frowned and said, "What are you shouting about?" Is that called stealing? That's called borrowing grain! You watched him collect wheat and pack it, and you didn't stop it, so why do you say that people steal it now? ”
Zhang Shihong was stunned for a moment, reacted instantly, and turned his head to look outside the door of the grain depot: "It's him!" It's this youkai who stole the food with hexology! ”
He shouted to several officials around him: "Quick! Get him back! ”
Several officials looked at each other, they were a little afraid of the means of returning, they were more fierce than anyone else in arresting people, but if they were asked to catch monsters, they didn't have the courage.
Zhang Shihong was furious: "What? Do you have to do it myself? ”
Seeing that he was angry, several officials immediately walked out of the courtyard, hoping that the old monster would run fast and they would not be able to catch him.
"Alright, don't be embarrassed by them!"
Zhou Daoquan said to Zhang Shihong: "Tracking down this important matter, I have handed it over to Shen Escort to deal with, you and Mu Zhi are now mainly borrowing food for disaster relief, and the rest of the things don't need to be paid too much attention to." ”
Zhang Shihong gave up at this time: "Students must follow the instructions of adults. ”
Zhou Daoquan said a few words to the two, left the courtyard, and returned to the county office.
"This is the old demon, borrowing food is fake, revealing skills is true! He deliberately revealed the news of the Cave World to Zhou Daoquan, I am afraid that he has other plans! ”
After Zhou Daoquan left, all kinds of thoughts flashed in Li Mu's mind: "If you have nothing to do, just check the heel of this return!" ”
Thinking of this, he immediately took out a small model of the airplane and threw it lightly into the air, and the plane suddenly broke through the air, turned into a white light, and disappeared into the air.
The next moment, the plane's body swelled and turned into a drone several meters long, floating in the air, scanning the whole city, chasing the figure of Guizhong.
