The original body of this carp demon is more than five feet long, the skull is pale red, and many scales on the back and side of the body are with golden light. He looked at the tiger baby with a restrained spirit, completely like an ordinary person, so he was timid and had a very respectful attitude.

Because the carp demon didn't dare to really treat the tiger baby as an ordinary person, how could ordinary people find out about his cave and take the initiative to ask him to come out to meet him?

Huwa returned the salute and said, "Don't be surprised by this fellow Daoist, I'm disturbing your cultivation." My name is Huwa, and I was entrusted by the lord of the city to investigate the cause of the drought in the upper reaches of the river. You enjoy the villagers' offerings, but please do you a favor. ”

The carp demon's speech was a little confused, and he replied, "Tiger Baby Immortal, what did you call me when you knocked on the door just now?"

Tiger Baby: "God of Water, what's wrong, is there a problem?"

The carp demon said excitedly: "I once aspired to become the god of water one day, and I quietly regarded myself as this in my cave, but I never told anyone, and I never appeared as the god of water. Immortal Chief, you are so powerful, you can see it!

You specially found me and called me the god of water, did you come to enlighten my immortal fate? I would like to practice the wonderful method of the immortal family with you, and be some kind of protector of the Dharma...... Immortal, please bow to me!"

The carp demon was about to bow down as he spoke, and the tiger baby hurriedly supported him and said with a smile: "Ten miles downstream from here, there is an altar by the water, which is the place where the people of the nearby villages have sacrificed to the water god since ancient times. You have quietly enjoyed a lot of the sacrifices that the villagers have thrown into the river over the years, right? Some of the things have been brought back to the cave by you.

People worship the god of water, but you are the one who hides in the river to eat, and I already know who you are. You overheard the villagers' words to worship the gods, so you thought about being the god of water, right? But now that the upper reaches of the water have been cut off, you have received so many benefits from the people on the shore, and you have to find a way to help. ”

In ancient customs, people believed in the existence of gods, the mountains had mountain gods, the water gods had water gods, and the nearby villages would sacrifice, most of them were not formal official state sacrifices, but only private behaviors of the people. Many mountain gods and water gods do not actually exist, but are just people's imagination, representing the awe of the unknown things in heaven and earth, and at the same time placing some kind of wish.

But there are such customs and legends, and some places gradually appear mountain gods and water gods, such as the mountain god Li Qingshui in Huwa's hometown, and there are more cases, some elf monsters claim to be so.

Before Huwa came here, she also inquired about a lot of local conditions, and also asked many people to inquire, knowing that several villages in the upper reaches of the water have the custom of worshiping the water god over the years. When he walked here, he found the existence of such a water tribe demon cultivator, and he had a rough idea in his heart.

This carp demon's years of cultivation should not be short, but I haven't heard of any bad deeds. The construction of dikes, ditches, and irrigation by the people in the nearby villages went more smoothly than elsewhere, indicating that the carp demon may have secretly helped, at least not causing trouble, so the tiger baby called him out to ask him kindly.

The carp demon said with a sad face: "Immortal Chief, if the water in the river is full, I can still make waves, but now that the water is cut off, I can only hide in the cave and not come out, how can I have any ability to help?

Does a monk have the ability to summon the wind and rain? Theoretically, the Three Realms of cultivation exists, but in practice it is very difficult to do. The easiest way to do this is to use the power of camera transport, rolling water from lakes and rivers into the sky and then dropping it into raindrops. If you really want to roll up enough water to exert such magical powers on a large scale, I am afraid that you must at least have the cultivation power of Taiyi Na.

However, this method is not only extremely expensive, but also often not applicable, and where can we now roll up a large amount of water and rain to sprinkle the ground? It cannot solve the problem of water flow interruption. Besides, if you want to perform it once within a radius of 100 miles, you have to roll up a huge amount of water, and with Taiyi's cultivation, I'm afraid you will have to run out of energy. And for every small field, it's just a few drops of rain.

Another way is to use the great magic power of the immortal family to change the wind direction and convection in the high altitude, condense the clouds and vapor and turn into rain. The difficulty of this method is far beyond the previous one, and if you want to do it, the requirements for the cultivation realm will be even higher. If the tiger baby's deity is here, it may be reluctantly used, but it is impossible to do it continuously in a short period of time, and the amount of condensed rain and coverage are also difficult to guarantee.

Regardless of whether these two methods are feasible or not, they are both palliative rather than curable, and cannot solve the problem of water flow interruption. If the dryness that pervades the spiritual breath of heaven and earth always exists, even if the tiger baby's deity arrives and uses the strength of milk to rain for one or two times, the drought will continue.

The tiger baby didn't take a stand, and simply explained a few words to the carp demon, what is the so-called magic power of calling the wind and rain, the effect is not so exaggerated, and it can't solve the trouble here.

The carp demon was dumbfounded when he heard it, he just asked casually, but the tiger baby was in the mood to explain to him the magic of calling the wind and rain, it seemed that he really met the immortal. He asked respectfully again, "Immortal Chief, you have such great ability, you must be able to think of a way." And the small cultivation is low, I don't know how to help?"

Huwa: "You just need to tell me in detail about the changes that have taken place here." ”

What happened in the upper reaches of the water, no one should be able to sense it more clearly than the fish demon cultivating in the water, but this carp demon couldn't answer anything. All he remembers is that it hasn't rained upstream since the beginning of winter last year. In the winter, the water was dry, and at first I didn't think there was anything abnormal, but then the amount of water became smaller and smaller until it stopped.

The carp demon has been enlightened for more than a hundred years, and in his memory, this is something that has never happened before, and he also made a point of mentioning a situation that caught the attention of the tiger baby.

Last year, when it was just winter, the flow of water was still normal, and one day he was cultivating in the cave, and he was suddenly awakened in his self-determination. There seemed to be a pervasive coercion between heaven and earth, which made him feel very uncomfortable and irritable, but then it disappeared.

When he swam out of the cave and came to the river, he found that Fang Cai was not an illusion, and the water tribes in the river were all alarmed and fled downstream. It seems that from this day on, the flow of water from the source became smaller and smaller, and the gravel on the riverbed was gradually exposed.

The carp demon could have gone down the river and ran into the river, but he was timid, the raging river in the distance was not his territory, and he was reluctant to leave the cave lair that had been in operation for many years, so he still stayed in place. In his mind, the water was cut off for a while due to drought conditions in the upper reaches, and sooner or later it would recover.

When the tiger baby heard this, she suddenly remembered Boyi. On the way here, Huwa had a vague premonition that Bo Yi once said that Hou Gang might encounter trouble after returning to his hometown, which should not refer to disputes inside and outside the tribe, but the abnormal situation in the upper reaches of the river. And the time when this anomaly appeared was not long after Bo Yi slashed the demons in the land of Jiuli.

Could it be that this matter is actually related to Boyi? When Soberi said that, his tone was full of apologies. Or are there not only those twenty demons in the Southern Wilderness, Bo Yi scared away or let someone go, but the other party fled here, which caused this drought?

Bo Yi should have returned to Pingyang with the emperor Danzhu now, should he go to Pingyang to find Bo Yi and ask him clearly, what did he mean by what he said at the beginning? But after thinking about it, Bo Yi should have said it a long time ago if he wanted to, and this trouble would be easy to solve, and it might be solved easily.

In this case, going to Bo Yi for help may only make it difficult for him, and it seems that Huwa has to figure out a way by himself.

Huwa asked again: "I have already been to the mountains where the water is headed, and there is a difference between heaven and earth, and if we can't find out the cause and solve it, the drought will not end." Although your cave is deep, it will dry up one day, and when you find out that something is wrong, you hide in it and don't go out to check the situation?"

The carp demon replied very shyly: "I was born timid, most of my supernatural powers are also in the water, I dare not go ashore easily, I can't be caught by any master, if it is stewed into fish soup, how can I be born?

This carp demon's cultivation place is not deserted, in fact, it is very close to the bustling place, and he can hide under the water and secretly enjoy the sacrifices of the villagers. And some of the demon cultivators that Huwa has encountered have never even seen anyone at all.

Being able to cultivate into a demon in such a close place to people without being discovered is also taking advantage of being a water tribe. This carp demon thinks that he is in a remote place, but in fact he lacks knowledge, and he is indeed very timid.

Huwa cried and laughed: "You are self-aware, what is your name?"

Unexpectedly, the carp demon replied: "The little one is nameless, and I want to ask the immortal chief to give him a name." ”

The tiger baby was slightly stunned, and then relieved. This carp demon has never dealt with anyone else at all, and he doesn't need a name, so this situation is normal. He frowned slightly and said: "The matter of giving a name is often given by the position of the honorable man who gives birth, nourishment, and completion, you and I only met for the first time today, so you should make one yourself." ”

The carp demon posted over and said, "No, no, no, you are my elder." I've been cultivating here for a hundred years, and you, Immortal Chief, finally called me out of the cave, this is my immortal fate!"

The way of thinking of monsters is often different from that of ordinary people, and the carp demon spoke a little entangled, so the tiger baby had to smile bitterly: "You have the ambition to become the god of the water, and you live in the depths of the pool at the bottom of the river, so call it the waterhole." ...... When I solve the troubles here, if you are willing to obey my instructions, you can guide you in your cultivation. (To be continued.) )
