Chapter Forty-Eight: Burning the River and Boiling the Sea
Leaving Tsing Yi Temple, he didn't go far, and Li Daoxuan saw the farmer from before again.
He didn't leave, but laid out some pears and bowed to the Tsing Yi Temple.
Li Daoxuan said curiously: "This uncle, why do you want to put the tribute here?" ”
This is also what he is curious about, the people of Yuzhang City have great respect for the lady in Tsing Yi, but there is no tribute on the mahogany table.
The uncle glanced at Li Daoxuan and said: "This is the rule of Tsing Yi Temple, during the Wude period, there were endless wars, and everyone couldn't eat enough, so someone sneaked into the temple and stole Niangniang's tribute to eat." ”
"At that time, the adults of the court were angry and wanted to punish those people, but fortunately, the lady of Tsing Yi appeared, not only forgave them, but also distributed all the tributes, and ordered that incense be offered in the future, and there is no need to offer tribute, just be sincere."
The uncle looked at the Tsing Yi Temple, his eyes were sincere, and said: "Niangniang pity us, although I Xu Youfu is just a pear planter, I also know how to repay the kindness, so I can only offer tribute here." ”
Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up and asked, "Uncle, where do you grow pears?" ”
"The orchard in the south of the city, the Taoist chief is from other places, otherwise everyone in the city knows that the pears I Xu Youfu planted are the biggest and sweetest!"
After a pause, the pride in Xu Youfu's eyes dissipated and turned into a trace of sorrow.
"But this year is not necessarily, there has been no rain in the past few months, the land is dry, and if this continues, this year's pears will die!"
"But I visited Tsing Yi Temple today and begged Niangniang, I believe it will rain soon!"
Xu Youfu bowed to Tsing Yi Temple a few more times, got up and prepared to leave.
Li Daoxuan followed him and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, can I go to the orchard in the south of the city with you?" ”
Xu Youfu was a little surprised and asked, "Does the Taoist want to buy pears?" But isn't it time to mature? ”
"I'm not buying pears, I'm just trying to catch some bugs."
……
Seongnam Orchard.
There are many fruits grown here, such as cherries, grapes, pears, etc., but due to the severe lack of water, the soil has dried up, and the fruits that used to grow happily have now become deflated and hang listlessly there.
Xu Youfu's pear orchard is the same.
Li Daoxuan finally understood why the owner of the liquor store would sell pomegranate wine so expensive, it turned out that it was because of the drought, and water and pomegranates became scarce.
Xu Youfu is a very enthusiastic person, he heard that Li Daoxuan wanted insects, so he personally dug them for him, worked for half an hour, caught dozens of white, tender and fat insects, put them in the jar and handed them to Li Daoxuan.
He wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "It's a pity that the pears are not ripe yet, otherwise I will pick some to quench the thirst of the Taoist chief." ”
Li Daoxuan accepted the jar, took out a tael of silver and handed it over.
Who knew that Xu Youfu shook his head again and again, and said: "Dao Chief, it's just some worthless insects, staying here will bite the pears, how can you spend money?" ”
He resolutely refused to accept it.
Li Daoxuan was moved by his simplicity and kindness, thought about it, he looked at this dry orchard, and said with a smile: "Poor Dao will not take your worms for nothing, so let's do it, you don't want money, then Poor Dao will send you a rain." ”
Sending rain?
Xu Youfu raised his head, very surprised, can this rain still give away?
The next moment, he saw the young Taoist gently pat the gourd on his waist, and suddenly the gourd rose in the wind and floated in the air, more than two feet high!
After Li Daoxuan broke through the early stage of Bigu, his mana increased greatly, and he could make the Three Realms Hun grow to nearly ten meters high.
He smiled and said, "Here comes the water!" ”
Rumble!
A column of water erupted from the mouth of the gourd, like a water dragon rising to the sky, and finally falling in the sky, like a rain falling from the sky, like a torrential rain.
This is the pool water collected by Li Daoxuan in Longshou Mountain, and now it is all poured out, turning into sweet rain to nourish this orchard.
Xu Youfu was dumbfounded, and when his body was wet with rain, he woke up with ecstasy in his heart.
"It's raining, it's raining!"
He ran barefoot through the land, cheering, and after some time he calmed down a little.
"Thank you—"
However, when he turned his head, the young Dao Leader just now had disappeared, and the gourd that could spray water was also gone.
This rain, too, has stopped, coming and going as fast as it comes.
……
Li Daoxuan quietly left the orchard and came to a river.
The river connects to the Gan River, one of the main tributaries of the Yangtze River, so it has not completely dried up.
But it's too far from the orchard to get water for irrigation.
Li Daoxuan wondered if he could use the Three Realms Hulu to suck the water here and then make rainfall?
The water just now is just a drop in the bucket, and it won't be long before the orchard will still be unable to escape the fate of drought.
Just as he hesitated, a voice rang out.
"Xiaodao Chief, the old body is very thirsty, can you help me get a bowl of Ganjiang water?"
Li Daoxuan turned his head and saw that it was a white-haired old woman, wearing a cloth dress, with chapped lips, leaning against a willow tree, and reaching out to hand a broken bowl to Li Daoxuan.
Li Daoxuan saw that she looked very pitiful, so he didn't think much about it, took the bowl, and scooped a bowl of water for her by the river.
Who knew that the old woman shook her head and said: "This is the downstream water, it is too dirty, and the old man is not in good health, can you help me scoop a bowl of upstream water?" ”
Li Daoxuan didn't speak, looked at the mud and sand in the water, looked at the old woman again, and ran upstream to scoop a bowl of water without saying a word.
This time the water is much clearer.
But the old woman still shook her head and said, "I'm infected with the wind chill and can't drink cold water, Xiaodao Chief, can you help me boil this bowl of water?" ”
Li Daoxuan glanced at her, thinking that this mother-in-law has a lot of things.
He wanted to turn his head away, but when he saw her chapped lips, trembling palms, and kind eyes, he inexplicably remembered his grandmother, who had long since passed away.
Li Daoxuan sighed lightly, forget it, he should take care of the elderly.
He made a simple stove out of stones, then found some branches to use as firewood, and slapped the Three Realms Hurdle.
Rumble!
A flame flew out and landed on the branches, and soon it burst into flames.
Li Daoxuan put the bowl of water on the stone and said to the old woman: "Old man, the water will boil in a while, I still have something to do, so I will leave first." ”
He made up his mind that if the old woman asked for anything more, he would definitely ignore it.
But what he didn't expect was that the old woman suddenly smiled and said: "Your trick of becoming hot is very fun, and the old body also has a trick, do you want to see it?" ”
Magic?
An ordinary person is not only not afraid when he sees himself driving the flames, but just says a trick lightly?
Li Daoxuan immediately realized that this old woman was by no means an ordinary person!
He used his magic eyes and stared at the old woman closely, but found that the other party was ordinary and there was nothing abnormal.
"Don't be nervous, thanks to your fire, look, the water is boiling."
Li Daoxuan looked at the bowl of water, only to see that the surface of the water began to bubble, and wisps of white mist rose.
Gooo
The sound of boiling water is getting louder and louder, Li Daoxuan suddenly realized that something is wrong, how can it be so loud?
He turned his head and finally found the reason.
I saw that the originally calm river was actually bubbling and bubbling, constantly rising white water vapor.
River water, is it boiled?
