Thick pitch-black clouds were wriggling, brewing, and there was a faint arc of electricity flashing within them, at one moment.

"Boom la la ——!"

Bean-sized raindrops poured down and smashed on top of the broken rubble, exploding into countless splashes in a crisp "popping" sound.

Wang Changsheng held a temporary "umbrella" made of a few large banana leaves, and quickly rushed into the ruined temple.

took off the bamboo cage behind him, and saw that Li Laodao was not wet by this sudden night rain, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

glanced around the ruined temple, and saw the dry wood left by the predecessors in the corner, and his eyes were happy.

It seems that this barren mountain and ruined temple should often have people rest at night to avoid the rain, so some firewood was left for the convenience of those who came after.

He made a salutation to the statue of the god in the middle of the ruined temple, which had long been devoid of incense and was so broken that only half of it was left:

"Passing by the treasure land, spend the night for the night, and please respect the gods not to be surprised."

After the salute, Wang Changsheng took some dry wood and lit it with a fire breaker.

The lit bonfire dispelled the chill brought by the night rain.

Wang Changsheng took off his robe and set it up on a wooden rack next to the bonfire to dry, his robe was almost soaked in order to protect Li Laodao's thoroughness.

Although he was already a cultivator in the early days of Bigu, his Taoism was low, and he couldn't talk about anything that was inviolable from cold and heat.

Roasting the fire, Wang Changsheng took out a map of animal skins and proofread his location.

It was purchased while he was passing through a town shop, and although it was not elaborate, the general location was still marked.

"Is it near Ammy County?" After comparing for a while, Wang Changsheng nodded thoughtfully.

It had been more than three days since he set out from Qingfeng Temple to the east.

According to the markings on the map, he still needs to travel through six towns to enter the area where Longhu Mountain is located, which is about a two-day walk.

The seven-day period has only passed the third.

Thinking of being able to arrive at his destination two days early, Wang Changsheng couldn't help but feel excited.

It's not in vain that he has been working hard to get out early and rest late in the past three days.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for this sudden heavy rain, he would have to travel for more than an hour at night before he would stop to rest.

His eyes fell on the raindrops that continued to leak from the gap in the roof of the broken temple not far away, and Wang Changsheng sighed a little.

Although he has been in a hurry for the past three days and has not paid much attention to the customs and customs, there is one thing that he feels very deeply.

That is, drought.

Since last year, the rainfall in Gujiang County has plummeted, and in the spring of this year, the situation is even more serious, and the towns near the tributaries of the Gujiang River are better to say, although there is no rain, but relying on the reserves of river water, it can barely meet the irrigation needs, but those towns that do not have tributaries of the Gujiang River within the range can be difficult.

The small rivers and streams in their county have long since dried up, and with a little groundwater, they can only meet the needs of drinking water, so the price of food has skyrocketed, and the people are miserable.

Anmi County is one of the counties where there is no tributary of the Dolphin River.

Speaking of which, tonight's heavy rain is a timely rain for Ami County.

Opening the attribute panel, Wang Changsheng glanced at it.

[Class: Taoist Lv.3 (20/300)]

[Exercises: Jiuyang Obedience Qi Method - First Layer (24/100), Health Preservation Gong (Mastery)]

In the past three days of traveling, Wang Changsheng's "daily work" of liver experience has been delayed a lot, and after three days, he has only gained 20 experience points.

On the contrary, it was Jiuyang's obedience method, which gave him an unexpected joy.

As Zhang Ciming said, the practice of the Jiuyang Qi Method, as long as he absorbs the purple qi of heaven and earth at sunrise every day to condense into the yang seed, and in the next twelve hours, the yang seed will spontaneously swallow the spiritual energy, and in this process, the experience value of the Jiuyang Qi Serving Method will also increase.

During the day, the yang energy is strong, and you can get 1 experience point every hour, and at night, when the sun sets, the yang disappears and the yin rises, and you can only get 1 experience point every three hours.

After conversion, Wang Changsheng only needs to condense the yang seed at sunrise every day to get 8 experience points!

With such progress, in another ten days, he can try to break through the middle stage of Bigu, which is worthy of the secret method of the true transmission of Longhu Mountain, which even Zhang Ciming praised and praised as "cultivating for rapid progress".

"Boom la la ......"

The rain outside the ruined temple became heavier and heavier, and suddenly, a hurried and chaotic sound of treading water came from far and near.

Someone's coming?

Wang Changsheng's eyes moved.

After a while, four people rushed in from outside the broken temple gate.

A woman of about twenty years old with an infant baby in her arms, a middle-aged man with a sad face who has been born with a beautiful hair, and two guards with long knives at their waists.

At this moment, two wet guards were holding large banana leaves to protect the woman holding the baby from the rain, until they rushed into the ruined temple, and the four of them breathed a sigh of relief.

This night rain came suddenly, and no one expected that Anmi County, which had not been dripping for months, would have such a heavy rain tonight.

The four people who entered the ruined temple immediately saw a young man sitting by the campfire, wearing only a white robe with a long sword on his knees.

Looking at each other, he noticed that the middle-aged man with a drying robe hanging on the side stepped forward and bowed: "This little Taoist chief, I and my party encountered heavy rain, and I want to take advantage of your place to take shelter temporarily, I don't know if I can be accommodating?" ”

"The layman is polite, I'm just a rain guest, you are free." Wang Changsheng smiled: "If you need a fire guide, you can come and get it." ”

"The Taoist is noble and righteous." The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, and did not slack off at all because of the other party's immature face.

Anyone who has traveled through the rivers and lakes knows that when you go out, it is best not to provoke the four types of people who travel alone, such as "monks, Taoist priests, women and children".

What's more, the long sword on the other party's knee is really a thing!

Seeing the young Taoist priest's gentle attitude, the woman and the nervous guards on the side relieved their hearts.

The two guards hurriedly lit the bonfire and prepared the food.

Wang Changsheng and the woman and his entourage each occupy one left and one right of the broken temple, but they can be regarded as peaceful.

When the soup was hot, the middle-aged man saw that the young Taoist priest's hand opposite was empty, hesitated, picked up a bowl of hot soup and a soft dry food, and stepped forward: "Daoist priest, do you need hot food?" ”

"Eat yourselves." Wang Changsheng smiled slightly: "Xie Jushi is kind, I have already eaten." ”

"I'm sorry." Seeing that the young Taoist priest didn't need food, the middle-aged man returned to his place and sat down, swallowing heavily.

Apparently starving.

After eating and drinking, the warmth of the bonfire dispelled the cold of the rainy night, and the middle-aged man noticed the bamboo basket beside the young Taoist priest, and the sleeping figure was faintly visible in the firelight, so he spoke: "The Taoist chief took his relatives and friends to seek medical treatment?" ”

"Sort of." In addition to resting, Wang Changsheng is also happy to communicate with people and understand all aspects of this world: "The layman is in a hurry on a rainy night, and he has to do something urgent. ”

"Alas......" Hearing this, the middle-aged man sighed, and just wanted to say something, when the baby in the woman's swaddling clothes suddenly burst into tears, no matter how gently the woman comforted her, it was useless.

The middle-aged man bowed his head to Wang Changsheng apologetically, but at this moment, there was a loud "bang", and the door of the broken temple was kicked open.

The cold night breeze mixed with the wet cold of the rain vapor suddenly squeezed into the ruined temple, causing the bonfire to sway.

Five strong men with big shoulders and round waists, wearing leather armor and long knives at their waists walked in, the first one had a dark face and a deep scar on his cheek, he looked at the women around the campfire, and said in a stiff tone: "Madam, go back." ”

"Master has a life, please don't make it difficult for me to wait."
