Chapter 152: Water Worries
The old woman sighed and said, "I'm really sorry, three, our house is also short of water now, you can go to another house and ask." ”
Luo Yan looked embarrassed, and said with a reluctant smile: "Don't hide it, we have asked a few people, and they all said that there is also a shortage of water at home." ”
At this time, I only heard the round-faced young man shouting next to him: "Mother, didn't I bring a bucket back just now, you can give them some drink, and tomorrow I will go to Mao'er Village to get a bucket and come back." ”
When the lie was revealed, the woman glared at him and said, "Oh, you see that I have forgotten all this memory, and then said to the girl beside her, "Qiao'er, go and get a bowl of water." ”
The girl next to her got up and went into the side room, and after a while came out with a small bowl containing half a bowl of water.
Yaofang and Li'er took a sip of the small bowl, and then handed it to Luo Yan, who also drank a little bit casually, the well water was cool and sweet.
After he drank it, he handed the bowl to Hui Nan and continued to ask, "Is there no water source here, why is there no water for everyone to eat?"
The old man sighed and said, "You don't know, in fact, we used to have a water source here, the well water is abundant, and it has never dried up for a hundred years, and we have never worried that there will be no water to eat one day."
However, three months ago, when the villagers went to fetch water again, they found that the well water had dried up, and the whole village fell into a state of water shortage. ”
"Where is your old water spring, can we go and have a look?" Luo Yan asked.
"In that hollow in the middle of the village, I'll take you. As he spoke, the round-faced young man led them out.
They soon arrived at the well, Luo Yan let go of his divine sense and looked into the well, but found no abnormality, so he used the improved Tianqing Wisdom Eye.
Not long ago, Luo Yan fused the Heavenly Exploration Yuan Gong into Tianqing Huimu, and further improved this magical power, and now he can not only see the real thing inside through a certain obscuration, but also see through the illusion, and when he is opposite to the human eye, he can even affect the other party's sanity.
After this inspection, he found some clues, the corners of his mouth showed an imperceptible arc, and then when he looked up, he saw three tall ketone bodies, standing next to the wellhead, with ice muscles and jade bones, which could be broken by blowing.
He hurriedly put away the exercises, Yaofang and Li'er didn't know if they didn't notice it or didn't mind the peeping he just now, their expressions didn't change significantly, they saw him straighten up, and stepped forward and asked, "Brother Luo, has you found anything?"
In order not to startle the snake, Luo Yan deliberately shook his head and said, "Let's go back first." Then everyone left together.
Hui Nan didn't seem to notice it, and led Yuan Peng to follow behind Luo Yan.
After returning to the round-faced young man's house, Luo Yan and Hui Nan began to inquire with the old man and the round-faced young man about the changes in the village in recent years.
Yuan Peng, Yaofang and Li'er chatted with Qiao'er on the side, and several young people chatted very speculatively, bursting into laughter from time to time.
Two hours later, the group left the house of the round-faced young man and quietly came to the well again.
This time, Luo Yan went down to the bottom of the well alone, and then called out Yi Manfeng, who knew the situation best underground, and said the reason after checking it.
The next day, a news spread in Lime Tree Village that in order to let everyone eat water, the village chief bought five truckloads of water from other places, and began to distribute it to everyone at the price of one spirit stone for two buckets of water.
Although many people in the village thought it was very expensive, they thought that the village chief also spent money to buy water for everyone, and it was also appropriate to produce a spiritual stone, so families who lacked water began to buy it one after another.
The five truckloads of water sold out quickly, and those who didn't buy them had to wait for seven days to come back.
After a few days, the well in Mao'er Village also dried up, and the village chief of Mao'er Village began to buy water from outside and sell it to the villagers, and the price was the same.
Luo Yan and the others went to the well in Mao'er Village to check again, and the situation was basically the same as the well in Lime Village, the water source was cut off by someone, and a new outlet was built from other places.
Later, he hid his figure and followed the village chief's water truck, and soon found that there was a well in a secluded place not far from the village, from which the water from both villages was pulled back.
Luo Yan took advantage of the guards' inattention, transformed into a turtle, entered the well, and followed the water source all the way to check, it turned out that the well water of the two villages had been led here from the underground.
After figuring everything out, he returned to the surface, thinking about how to deal with this matter, immortal cultivators were not allowed to interfere in mortal affairs, so they could not directly participate in it.
While he was thinking, he saw a person sneakily running towards the mountain behind the village, and he hid his figure again and followed him far away.
After walking for about an hour, I saw the yellow-robed old man in front of him stop in front of a cave and shouted inside: "Senior gopher, this week's spirit stone has been sent to you." ”
Looking at the cave again, a fat old man with thief eyebrows and rat eyes staggered out, lazily wearing a gray Taoist robe, the early cultivation of the infant, and the spiritual mist around his body.
After the rat demon took the bag containing the spirit stone, he weighed it and said, "Yes, this time there are more than the last time, and you will continue to sell water after you go back." ”
After speaking, seeing that the old man in the yellow robe was still leaving, he asked again, "Are you okay?"
The old man in the yellow robe hurriedly said respectfully: "Senior Gopher, what you said last time about passing on the immortal exercises, I don't know when you can start?"
The fat old man said with a haha: "Since you sincerely want to learn, I can pass you a trick now." ”
After speaking, the rat demon used a move to strengthen the body, and then said: "The immortal exercise method is very mysterious, I will teach you a move when you perform well in the future, this is an act against the sky, remember not to be an outsider." Then he sent the old man in the yellow robe away.
Just as Luo Yan was about to leave, he saw an old man in a gray robe also coming here, and what happened next was basically similar to the situation just now.
After Luo Yan came back, in order not to attract everyone's attention, he gave Yaofang and Li'er each a Jingxian Fire Thunder to defend themselves, and then asked them to go to Mao'er Village's Xiaofu and Lindenshu Village's round-faced young man Gu Dali, in case of danger, throw out the fire thunder, and he immediately arrived.
Yaofang and Li'er disguised themselves and acted separately after dressing up ordinary.
Afterwards, Luo Yan and Yi Manfeng discussed how to inform the villagers about this matter next.
Soon, Wei Fu and Gu Dali came, and Luo Yan briefly told them what he had learned.
The two of them were skeptical, and Wei Fu said: "No, our village chief treats everyone well on weekdays, how can he do this?"
Luo Yan knew that if he didn't let them see it with their own eyes, I'm afraid no one would believe it.
So he took a step back and said, "In this way, in seven days, when they send the spirit stone to the gopher again, I will take you to see it yourself, and don't tell others the news during this time, so as not to have an accident." ”
The two left after agreeing, in order to prevent accidents, Luo Yan arranged for Yi Manfeng, Yaofang, and Li'er to accompany Mingfu for the past few days, and contact him in time if there was something.
Seven days passed quickly, and on this day, Luo Yan saw the village chief quietly going to the back mountain, so he immediately notified Yi Manfeng to take Yufu to join him, and then followed him.
Luo Yan put the blessings and vigorously into the space opened up separately in the Qiankun bag.
For the two of them, it was like a black cloth over their eyes.
When they arrived at the front of the cave, they released the two of them and watched the movement from afar.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the village chief of Linden Village to come, which was basically the same as Luo Yan's description, Gu Dali's angry eyes widened, if Luo Yan didn't press him, he would definitely rush out and fight with the village chief.
Yuan Peng almost shouted impulsively, but Hui Nan covered his mouth.
Soon after, the village chief of Mao'er Village also came, and the situation was basically similar, and finally I heard him say:
"Recently, there have been three monks in the village, the old ones are very old, and the younger ones are two girls, and they are quite sweet-looking, but it seems that their cultivation is not as good as yours, and there is no spiritual mist when walking. Do you want to continue selling water?"
When the gopher heard this, it was estimated that these three people were not cultivating for a high level of casual cultivation, so they didn't take it to heart at all, and said: "Don't worry, such a low cultivation must be just a passing casual cultivation, next time you want to trick and lure a girl over." ”
"The old man wrote it down. The village chief of Mao'er Village agreed and left.
The whole process was really listened to, and when he finally heard that the gopher wanted the village chief to bring the girl, he was even more angry, and his reaction was more intense than Gu Dali, Luo Yan directly knocked him out with a slap and took them away.
After arriving at a hidden place, Luo Yan casually laid down a few isolation prohibitions, and then called out a few people.
