In the first ten years of the Jiazi test, the Dragon King of Jiahu gave all the dragon sons and dragon girls except Ao Lin and Ao Xia the punishment of whipping, ranging from ten to thirty lashes.

This is not an ordinary whip in the mortal world, but a dragon whip of the dragon clan against the sin dragon, and the dragon clan will thoroughly investigate if it loses one.

A whip will not kill or seriously injure you, but will hurt for three days and three nights, the kind of pain that will always be remembered and penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

Because it was the dereliction of duty of the young dragons that caused disasters in the mortal world, a large part of the reason for the decline of the luck of the Jiahu Dragon Palace came from this.

Of course, the Dragon King also understands that to give the young dragons time, this is not that Ao Lin and Ao Xia are barely qualified.

……

In the second decade, Zhou Bai had read through all the books in the Dragon Palace Library, but he had to memorize them backwards.

And in the past ten years, the baby dragon has grown up a lot, and it may be called a little dragon.

They came to visit Zhou Bai much less often, and instead devoted more energy to staring at the mortal realm, for fear that they would not notice when the water vapor increased or decreased drastically.

Moreover, for the rainfall tasks stipulated by the Dragon Palace, we also strive for perfection and excellence.

The taste of beating the dragon whip, no one really wants to try it anymore.

The luck of the Jiahu Dragon Palace slowly recovered, and new incense was added to the dragon temples in Fang County, and the people began to restore their confidence in the dragon god who was in charge of rainfall.

At the end of the last ten years, the Dragon King of Jiahu did not come forward in person, but just asked a maid to carry the decree with shrimp soldiers and crabs.

"No merit, no reward, no punishment, I hope to make persistent efforts."

The other little dragons breathed a sigh of relief, but Ao Lin and Ao Xia were a little unconvinced, it stands to reason that their performance is one level higher than that of their peers, why is there no reward.

So Ao Lin took Ao Xia to find Zhou Bai and complained: "Master, is it unfair for my father to be like this? ”

"You didn't break into the basket, how could the Dragon Palace alarm the Dragon King like the first ten years, and the turtle prime minister and even some water gods who were responsible for reporting the results would think how good your two little dragons were?"

"Compared with the previous generations of young monarchs, you were barely qualified in the previous ten years, and this decade can only be regarded as mediocre."

"If you want to be recognized by the Dragon Palace, you need to do better!"

……

In the third decade, Zhou Bai left Fang County to travel, and he wanted to see what the farther region was like.

Isn't it that other scholars have descended, and they are also Fang Jun and Jiahu Dragon Palace?

However, unlike what he had imagined, Fang County's border was not an invisible barrier, and he easily left Fang County with a team of darts heading to the capital of the Thang Long Kingdom.

The territory of thirteen states is as large as an ordinary dynasty on the Blue Star, and it is a very normal country.

So, Zhou Bai began his journey to the kingdom of Thang Long.

Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, take off the dust in the chest, and camp in the natural hills and ravines.

There is no point in him studying hard behind closed doors, when he has more experience, he will come back and digest it.

For the dragon students, Zhou Bai didn't have anything more to teach, and in the second decade, he acted more as a master of the soul.

This trip also hopes that the little dragons can get rid of their dependence on him, mature faster, and take charge of themselves.

The passage of time, the change of seasons, and the fact that people's will is not transferred, this decade still passes quickly.

Zhou Bai returned to Fang County again, only to feel that things were not people, and the private school in the countryside was taken over by another master, and the Mengtong who had been taught was already an adult and difficult to distinguish.

In the third decade, the little dragons who left Zhou Bai were very uncomfortable, but they still did better.

Basically, there was no drought or flood disaster in Fang County due to rainfall errors.

The prime minister of the Dragon Palace, the turtle minister, expressed his approval and truthfully reported the results.

Although the Dragon King of Jiahu still did not go out, he also asked a dragon concubine to come forward on his behalf and set up a banquet to reward the dragon son and dragon girl who had made meritorious contributions to the clouds.

Knowing that Zhou Bai had returned, the Dragon Palace banquet had just ended, and fifteen little dragons came to visit together.

"Master, where have you been, we're so worried......"

"Phew, the master has great powers, what can happen when he walks in the mortal world."

"Master, don't you want us?"

Looking at a group of immature and gradually falling off dragons, Zhou Bai was a little emotional and relieved.

"Half a Jiazi left, I'll look at you and won't leave."

……

Fourth decade.

After 30 years of hard work, this ten-year rainfall task makes the little dragons seem very handy.

Zhou Bai quietly followed the observation and found that Ao Lin and Ao Xia's two proud protégés could already accurately grasp the rainfall to a point.

On this day, Ryugu issued a rainfall order according to the regulations as usual.

"Ao Lin listens to the order, tomorrow the clouds will be in the clouds, and the rain will be in the middle of the day, until sunset, and the rainfall will be four feet two inches and thirty-six points."

"This rain is about human sacrifice and prayer for rain, and there is no room for error!"

Ao Lin, who has already shown a bit of might and is gradually emerging, does not have any disrespect for the envoy of the Dragon Palace, but is still respectful and polite: "Ao Lin leads the order." ”

The same scene happened in various parts of Fang County, and the envoys of the Dragon Palace rushed one after another regardless of their fatigue, making sure to convey the rainfall decree to each dragon son and dragon girl.

They also remember the last lesson.

Jun is dry all day long, and he is not to blame.

Halfway through the Jiazi, the Dragon King has become more and more concerned about their performance, and a word from the messenger may make it lose points.

There has been no rain for many days, which has led to a drought in Fangjun, and the water in the Pitang canal is close to drying up, which is about to affect the harvest.

So the official organized the people of each county to go to the local Dragon King Temple to hold a big sacrifice and pray that the Dragon King could be merciful.

Such a major event, the Dragon King of Jiahu naturally knew in advance, so he issued a decree to inform the Dragon Son and Dragon Girl who were still in the Jiazi assessment.

In the clouds, all the dragon sons and dragon girls listened to the mourning of mortals and felt compassion.

"There is a great drought for thousands of miles, Lord Long, please open your eyes and look at the world, how to spend this year's cold winter if it doesn't rain anymore."

"Woo woo, there is no food in the house, just wait for the autumn harvest, please rain!"

"I beg you dragon gods to rain down, the grain in my field is only a month away from ripening......"

However, even if they could not bear it, they had to rain according to the time of the rain law.

Ao Lin was anxious, staring at the direction of the sun to estimate the time, and finally, when the festival was at its climax, his time had come.

A dragon's chant resounded through the sky, responding to the prayers of the people on earth.

The wind suddenly rose, the sky gradually darkened, and the white clouds were also dyed with a layer of ink.

"I knew that there were real dragons hidden in Jiahu, and they were all righteous gods who looked after me and other mortals!"

"It's going to rain......"

As soon as noon arrived, the raindrops the size of beans fell, this was a heavy rain, and it was a veritable rain for the arid Fang County.

At sunset, the rainfall in the Jinxian area had just reached 4 feet 2 inches and 36 points, and Ao Lin turned his hand to disperse the water vapor in the clouds to prevent excessive rainfall.

Looking at the vibrant earth, as well as the mortal people who were grateful to the dragon shadow in the clouds, Ao Lin felt a surge in his heart, is this for the benefit of the world?

At the end of the decade, because of the full cooperation of the fifteen little dragons, the incense of the Dragon Temple in Zhudi rose sharply, and the luck of the Dragon Palace returned to its heyday.

Moreover, the whole Fang County is safe and sound, without the incursion of drought and flood, and gradually presents a prosperous scene.

The dragon king finally issued a decree of praise, believing that they could already protect the land of a county.

Among them, the dragon son and dragon girl with the best performance were specially ordered, and Ao Lin and Ao Xia were naturally in the list.

……

The fifth decade, the sixth decade.

Whether it is in his previous life or in this life, Zhou Bai has never been so immersed as he is now, immersed in his own state of thinking and learning.

In the third decade, Zhou Bai traveled to broaden his knowledge, and the fourth decade was to digest through.

Using Xuefu Wuche to describe himself, Zhou Bai felt that it was not enough, it can be said that he had read and understood all the classic knowledge of mortals.

The things in the world of the picture scroll are almost all the things that should be seen.

Unless those Confucian saints are used to suppress him now, it is probably nothing more than the case to learn from the past and the present.

So in the remaining twenty years, Zhou Bai began to specialize in Taoism, which was the most important thing in the Spring Festival.

After all, the ultimate purpose of the imperial examination is to send talents to the heavenly court, and the imperial court is only picking up the leftovers.

With the experiences and trials of the previous forty years, the little dragons and the land of Fang County have developed a certain bond, and the more they watch, the more they have a strong sense of responsibility for this land.

Sheltering the people of this land seems to have become a matter of course.

They conscientiously completed the rainfall task and worked hard to maintain the water vapor balance in Fang County.

In time.

The Jiazi test, in the fiftieth year, Fangjun has become a well-known land of fish and rice.

The wind and rain were smooth, the grains were abundant, and the million population of Fang County began to grow rapidly.

There are migrants who come here, and there are also native populations who have begun to multiply in large numbers because they don't have to worry about food and clothing.

One and a half million, two million, three million......

For Fang County, which is sparse in the plains, there is simply no more place to carry the excess population, so people began to set their sights on the mountainous areas with the most Fang counties.

In the beginning, it was a small hill, and the whole mountain was opened up for the construction of houses and the excavation of terraced fields.

A large amount of firewood, cherished herbs, and prey poured into the market, and the merchants and travelers from other counties came and went, which was very popular.

For a time, the people who moved to the mountains not only did not have poverty, but reaped a fortune.

It is not enough to be habitable and easy to develop the hills, so you can only continue to work on the mountains.

There are poisonous insects in the deep mountains and old forests, this is not afraid, and the people who have no place to live in Fang County decide to use fire.

Burning mountains and forests to obtain habitable land is something that the Fang County government can't stop and doesn't want to stop.

It is necessary to give a way to live, otherwise it will be more difficult for the government to deal with the disaster.

In this way, a large number of mountains and forests were cleared, and everywhere was bare, which was too suitable for the human race to outline it.

The extra population has a place to stay, and those people from other counties who have been banned from entering the country can be allowed to enter again.

The more people, the stronger the productivity, and the more prosperous the development will be, how could the parents of Fang County not understand this truth.

They even thought that Fang County might be able to hope to become the strongest county in the country, what a political achievement.

Of course, there are also people with great wisdom who remind that without forests, once there is a flood and drought, it will be difficult for Fang County to bear the consequences.

But the people of Fang County, who had long been accustomed to the blessing of the dragon god, could not listen to such words, and the new generation did not even know what hunger was.

Water and drought from people, do not know hunger, food without famine years, called Fangjun Tianfu!

This is the pride of the people of Fangjun, and the wind and rain are taken for granted in their eyes.

However......

In the last year of the Jiazi test, the mining of mountains and forests was excessive, and the evil consequences of soil erosion finally broke out.

Dazzling blazing white lightning tore open the night sky of Fangjun Land, and immediately after, a deafening thunder rolled from the sky.

Countless Fang Jun's hearts jumped, and they all woke up from their dreams, and a catastrophe was coming?!

When they opened the door, they saw the roaring wind carrying the torrential downpour, frantically smashing into the hill full of houses.

This is a very heavy rainstorm that is naturally formed by heaven and earth, and it is completely different from the previous rainfall that was mild.

The sudden increase in rain washed away the last few trees, and these lonely trees tried to fix the water and soil with their root systems, but they could not support them alone.

The night rain directly washed away countless mountains, forming mudslides and even floods.

"Help, Ryujin save us!"

"Stop this rain, we offer you ......"

Seeing that a large number of "innocent" people were calling the dragon god again, praying that the clouds would stop raining, Zhu Xiaolong immediately wanted to cast a spell to dispel the surging clouds.

Suddenly, more than a dozen small dragons drilled into the clouds, and they looked impatient and worried.

Immediately end the Jiazi test, and the result is such a big basket, who can be in a good mood.

A bolt of lightning pierced the night sky again, and the people who looked at the sky and prayed were overjoyed because they saw the dragon's shadow.

"The dragon gods will strike soon, they won't watch us suffer!" Most of the people of Fang County thought so at this time.

Hearing this, the little dragons didn't know why, they only felt a tightness in their chests.

But they still followed the habit and decided to help, and the howling storm rolled up.

At this moment, a small yellow dragon and a small white dragon stopped them, it was Ao Lin and Ao Xia.

Ao Lin roared loudly: "Have you forgotten that when the human race was digging the mountains and forests, the master said that this was the way for the people of Fang County to be greedy and unrestrained? ”

"His old man also made suggestions to the county government at the beginning, but he was put on the shelf, which is to blame!" Ao Xia continued.

"But the people of Fang County have been worshiping me for many years, so don't you care about it?"

"Will our sixty years of hard work be ruined by a heavy rain?!"

"The Master is also a human race, and we are saving people like the Master."

Ao Xia Ao Lin couldn't stop the other little dragons, a whole Jiazi, they had already regarded themselves as the patron saints of Fang County.

Ao Lin faced his classmates who were glaring angrily, and sighed: "Master is a human race, but he also understands the principles of heaven and earth. ”

"He also said that heaven and earth have their own laws of operation, and there are also unpredictable calamities."

"As dragons, we are born to be in charge of rainfall, but sometimes we have to learn to conform to the will of heaven!"

Jiazi time is enough for the little dragons to grow.

They are full of great power, and they gradually feel that the master who was like a god at the beginning seems to be like that, and some words cannot be fully listened to and believed.

In the end, Ao Lin Ao Xia still got out of the way, and let the unpersuaded little dragon cast a spell to drive away the clouds.

The thirteen little dragons all decided to follow the "sense of responsibility" in their hearts, and in less than a moment, the dark clouds were all dispersed.

The clouds and rain stopped, and the bright moon and stars appeared in the night sky, and the people of Fangjun were also saved, and they were grateful to the dragons.

Source change app】

Everything seems to be moving for the better.

Then in the next moment, the wind surged, and the dispersed dark clouds suddenly gathered, and the heavy clouds accumulated three times more water than before!

The people of Fang County were shocked, and the thirteen little dragons were also shocked, why is this?

Bang!

The thunder of the explosion rang out, and the boundless rain poured down again.

This time, no little dragon dared to disperse the clouds again, in case of dispersion, what if the amount of water was several times more, I am afraid that no one in Fang County would survive.

When the thirteen little dragons fell into confusion and struggle, and Ao Lin Ao Xia looked at the affected world and sighed, the Dragon King of Jiahu, who had never been out of the customs, appeared, followed by a large number of water god soldiers in the Dragon Palace.

But he didn't come to relieve the disaster, but in front of Fang County, who gradually turned into Zeguo, he took the heavenly decree to announce the end of the Jiazi test.

"Heaven and earth are calamity, heaven is unpredictable, and the gods control the rules, but they need to observe the heart of heaven from time to time and conform to the will of heaven."

"Ao Lin Ao Xia, the heart of heaven, the world is inspected, and Ao Lin is specially named the young monarch of the Dragon Palace, and Ao Xia is the princess of the Dragon Palace."

"The rest of the dragon sons and dragon girls are not willing, and they intend to violate the natural principles of heaven and earth, and they should be punished. But since reading Jiazi, he has been conscientious, his merits and demerits are offset by his merits, and he has received a third class of vocation. ”

After finishing the words, the edict of heaven immediately took effect, and the fifteen little dragons were full of divine light, and each had its own vocation manifested according to the level of merit.
