Chapter 164: Naga Dragon King
July 26.
In terms of time, it has entered autumn, but the Fufeng County is still very hot, the afternoon sun is mercilessly scorching the earth, and the air is faintly thick, and it is stirred up by the hot temperature to take various forms.
Jiang Li walked on the streets of the county town, the surrounding pedestrians did not fit the bustle of the county town at all, and the storefronts on both sides were also crowded, and occasionally listless guys could be seen nodding their heads and dozing off for a while.
It's too hot.
If this continues, sooner or later the county's water source will run out, and a catastrophe is already brewing.
For this reason, the government will publish a wide range of articles and gather capable people with the intention of praying for rain and eliminating the drought.
But the imperial court itself has no shortage of people who spread the rain, and if you really want to rain, you don't need to recruit people at all, just send people directly. Now Fufeng County and even the entire Yongzhou are not lacking rainfall, but water.
No matter how skillful you are, you can't solve the increasingly severe drought without a lot of water to carry it.
This is unreasonable.
So Jiang left.
It was up to him to investigate the news, and Gongsun Qingyue contacted the Shenxing Taibao and dispatched manpower, once he found that Ji Chengye was taking advantage of the drought to do personal things, he took the opportunity to seize the dominance of the government, let Gongsun Qingyue take charge, and then slowly concoct Ji Chengye.
Right now, Jiang Li is going to the county guard mansion to meet Jiang Zhihuan secretly, and see what choice he has made by the way.
He was dressed in an ordinary green shirt, holding a long sword, and his face was deliberately painted sallow, dressed like an ordinary cultivator, and was walking hurriedly to the county guard's mansion.
After passing through the two main streets, you will reach the central part of the county, and you will not be far from the county warden's house.
Suddenly, a roar rang out.
"Boom!"
There was a thunderclap in the clear sky, and then at the intersection of the two main streets in front of me, a phantom figure that looked like a snake but not a snake rose into the air, swimming in the air and gathering a faint water vapor.
Gradually, dark clouds appeared in the sky above, and a gust of wind brought coolness to the hot city.
The pedestrians around and the people hiding in the houses were all attracted to see the accumulated dark clouds and feel the cool breeze, and they were pleasantly surprised.
"It's the Dragon King! The Dragon Lord has appeared. ”
Someone shouted in surprise.
At the same time, everyone also noticed that under the shadow, there was a yellow-clothed monk sitting cross-legged, his hands folded, chanting words.
His face was golden, like the golden lacquer god and Buddha in the temple, and the phantom of a snake but not a snake hovered above his head, and with his recitation, it became more and more agile, and the dark clouds gathered gradually expanded, attracting the reverence of everyone.
There are even people kneeling down in the street, calling "Dragon King Bodhisattva" and bowing and worshipping.
Strangely, as they worshipped, the phantom also grew and grew, gathering more water vapor. This is a surprise to those who have a heart, and they can't help but kneel down to worship, or even more reverence.
"This is the method of hooking, which can hook elves, monsters, gods and ghosts, and can also hook people's hearts and minds, benefit themselves, in short, it is to collect faith, which is also a more popular way of practice in the Buddha country."
Feng Manlou appeared behind Jiang Li silently, and introduced with a smile: "As for the phantom, it is not wrong to say that it is the Dragon King, it is the Dragon Naga of the Eight Divisions, which resembles a dragon but has no feet and no horns, and also has the ability to travel clouds and rain. The name of the dragon king is to describe Naga from the beginning. ”
"This monk has accommodated the Naga Dao Fruit, and naturally has the relevant power, and now he is pretending to be a god and practicing the trick method."
The monk's face moved slightly, although it was very slight, but it couldn't escape Jiang Li's eyes, obviously the monk also heard the words of Feng Manlou.
Jiang Li was not surprised that Feng Manlou could find himself, and when he appeared, he complained: "After hiding for a few days, you are finally willing to show up." ”
"It's not hiding, brother, I also have something important to do, don't want to wronged me." The wind is full of buildings and shouts.
He came to Yongzhou, he did have something, and he came on behalf of Nantiansi to investigate the Taiping Sect and the drought.
Just looking at his behavior these days, he doesn't look like he has done practical things at all, but like a salary thief who has been fishing all the way. As for the absence of a trace in the past few days, Jiang Li estimated that this dragon king's son-in-law had other things, and it would definitely not be a serious matter anyway.
"Huh."
Jiang Li smiled slightly, noncommittal.
As the two were talking, the dark clouds gradually expanded to cover the street, and the wind became stronger, making it look like rain was about to fall.
Just then, another roar rang out.
"Haste as law."
A thunderbolt suddenly appeared, breaking through the dark clouds and falling on the phantom of the Naga Dragon King, causing the cool breeze to stop suddenly.
"The bold demon monk actually practiced evil law in vain."
Wearing a yellow cloak and holding a scepter, the Taiping Sect Healer came out in line, followed by a yellow turban wrestler.
I saw him break through the dark clouds with a thunderbolt, and said loudly to the surrounding people: "Don't be deceived by this demon monk, the water and gas gathered by this demon monk all come from the water of the river in the city. ”
"This Taiping Sect healer has come to smash the field," Feng Manlou saw this, and then introduced, "The government has issued an example to recruit people to pray for rain, and people from all walks of life have come." Just like this monk, he wants to make a name for himself, so as to become a person who prays for rain, so as to gain the respect of the people of Fufeng County, and to practice the hook method. ”
"As for the people of the Taiping Sect······ Hey, although they brought the drought, the people don't know it. They also want to achieve their goals and win people's hearts by praying for rain. ”
One sentence on one side can be said to have pulled off the faces of both parties, and pointed at the real face.
Feng Manlou was completely uncovered, although the voice was low, and the people couldn't hear it clearly, but the doctors of the Taiping Sect and the monks of the Buddha Kingdom were all cultivated, and at this distance, they didn't say that they could hear it clearly, and there were still seven seven or eight eight.
Both sides are secretly angry with this guy who is pointing fingers, but at the moment, they are still mainly attacking their opponents.
"The Taiping Demon also dares to slander the poor monk," the monk opened his eyes and stood up, and retorted, "Others don't know the true face of your Taiping Demon, but the poor monk knows." The drought is caused by your Taiping Sect, what kind of face do you have to reprimand the poor monks. ”
"Oh!" The crowd exclaimed.
The Taiping Sect doctor angrily rebuked: "Bold demon monk, dare to insult this sect." ”
"Taiping demon, today the poor monk is going to use the Dharma of Buddhism to bring down your evil way." The monk made angry eyes.
Because of the excesses of the two parties, they succeeded in arousing the anger of the other party, and when they disagreed, they would fight.
"Haste as law."
"Dragon King Protector."
The thunder roared, Naga took off, and the scene was quite lively for a while.
The second more.
