Chapter 396: This Man Must Be Cheating
"According to you, according to you, but let me ask you, how long will it take for you to get rain?
"Within 7 days. ”
"Okay, okay, Grandpa, I'll wait for you for 7 days. If you can't get Grandpa Rain, I'll ask you. Sima Anshi's widening eyes looked extremely white on his black face, which was comical like a clown.
Emperor Taishang said: "If Zhou Buyi can ask for rain, it will really save the world." What does Zhou Buyi need us to prepare? Altars, tributes, soldiers' drills, etc., my 'Five Heavenly Gods' can help you. ”
"No, neither. Zhou Buyi didn't wait for Emperor Taishang to ask again, and then continued, "I borrowed someone from Your Majesty." ”
"Please. ”
"Please Long'er accompany me to a place. ”
"Oh, where are you going? If Long'er goes, I'll give you some more men. ”
"No, no, the place you go to is dangerous, so it's better not to bring too many people. As for where it is, this is a heavenly opportunity. After Zhou Buyi finished speaking, he picked up his beard and waited for Emperor Taishang's answer.
Emperor Taishang was unexpectedly accurate. But for the sake of insurance, he still sent his personal guard "Little Qinglong" Li Li to accompany Long'er, in case Zhou Buyi cheated and let Long'er have an accident.
Long Er carried a wooden bucket to find seven or eight wells, and salvaged them all, but all of them were dry wells, and there was no water at all. Long Er returned to the stable in a rage, and as soon as he threw away the barrel, he took the horse comb and brushed Chiyou's hairs. To Long'er's surprise, he found a knife under Chi You's body, which was not a war knife, but a short, long-edged knife for slaughtering livestock. Long Er's heart palpitated, and he picked up the knife and looked at it carefully.
When Long'er was wondering, someone hurriedly came to report that Emperor Taishang urged Long'er to go over immediately.
In the palace study, Liu Jiji objected to letting Long'er take this risk, "Long'er, this kid has just been seriously injured, and he can't take this risk anymore." What if there is fraud in this! Now, the country of Jueluo is eyeing us, and it wants to find our flaws so that we can break through the city and win the world in one fell swoop. What the old gentleman said about the Sacred Mountain, what the Fire Crystal Palace, who knows if it is true or false. What if it's a scam. ”
Emperor Taishang didn't speak, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and listened to Liu Ji's sonorous reasoning with a very painful expression: "I don't allow Long'er to go." If Long'er has a mistake, I can't explain it to my sister under Jiuquan. I won't say anything about it. ”
Emperor Taishang sighed and said, "It's not good for me to protect the dragon while guarding the civil and military officials. Besides, my life will be short, if Long'er can take over from me in charge of the world, it is very good, and the end of the national disaster is also the time for Long'er to establish his prestige, I really can't refuse. ”
"That being said, you can't let the dragon die with his wounds. Can you delay it for a few days, why do you just have to promise him to leave tomorrow. Besides, who knows what the origin of that old Taoist is, saying that he saved Long'er, maybe it was a trap set by him. Let Long'er go with him, I don't feel at ease. ”
"Therefore, I sent Xiao Qinglong to go with me, so that Xiao Qinglong can always guard the old way, and if anything happens, they can take care of each other. While he was talking, Long Er hurriedly walked in. At that time, Long Er was still thinking about how to explain it so as not to make his father angry, why he didn't go to the early court just now.
Long Er hurried to the main hall, still thinking about how to explain it so as not to make his father angry.
Emperor Taishang did not get angry, but looked at Long'er with a look of affection.
"What's the matter with the father looking for the child?" asked Long'er.
"You and Zhou Buyi go to a place and ask for rain. I'll let the little green dragon accompany you. Be safe and go back quickly. Emperor Taishang also instructed Long'er: "Before leaving tonight, go to your mother's grave and say a few words, and ask her to bless you to come back safely." ”
Long Er could hear the danger of this mission from his father's solemn tone, but even if he asked for rain, it was a good thing. Go, if you can get rain. Sinister, a great unknown looms down.
At this time, Waste Wuxu, who had been guarding next to Emperor Taishang, furrowed his brows, and there was a strange look in his eyes.
The setting sun slanted against the western mountains, and the fiery afterglow reflected the bare earth in blood red.
The dragon came to her mother's grave. A few dead grasses pierced the grave like arrows of brass, and they were so white that they pierced the eyes. Long Er frowned, put down the tribute in his hand, and bent down to pull the dry grass.
On the top of the mountain not far away, Emperor Taishang watched Long'er's every move and fell into deep thought.
Long Er's delicate face is very much like his mother.
However, she died in childbirth. The child was saved, but she died of hemorrhage. Lianhuang passed away with endless affection, leaving Emperor Taishang with endless regrets and the pain of longing.
After Lianhuang's death, Emperor Taishang did not marry another woman, and was disheartened to divide the world into 102 concubines, and he and his youngest son Long'er stayed at the foot of Mount Tai and lived for the rest of his life.
I thought that the world could balance the forces and calm the hearts of the people, but I didn't expect that the inflated selfishness would mess up the world, forcing him to take measures to stop the retrograde and restore peace to the world.
Zhou Buyi had already prepared his bags and was waiting for Long Er at the gate of the palace, in fact, his bags were nothing more than a bronze sword, wrapped in burlap and tied to his back, a big gourd was tied around his waist, and a bulging cloth bag was carried on his shoulder.
Long Er wanted to say goodbye to Chi You before leaving, and Zhou Buyi said: "No need to say goodbye, take it, let's ride it together, fast." ”
As soon as Chiyou left Miyagi, he spread his legs and ran wildly. Long Er sat at the front, Zhou Buyi sat in the middle, and Xiao Qinglong sat at the back. Long Er asked, "Where are we going?" You only said to run in the southwest direction, and I don't know where it is. If you don't make it clear, I don't have a score in my heart. If you run over, it's broken. Zhou Buyi pondered for a moment and said, "Since I came out, I won't hide it from the two of you." Let's go to Our Lady's Peak. ”
"What!" the dragon unconsciously lifted the bristles, and Chi You couldn't stop it, and the four hooves slid forward enough for a thousand meters before it stopped. "Our Lady's Peak? It takes at least a year to go from Mount Tai to Our Lady Peak, and we have set a 7-day time limit in terms of life and death. Do you want to run away?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, 7 days is enough time to go back and forth! Zhou Buyi was not nervous at all.
Long Er looked at Chi You, and then looked back, so as to judge the distance he had just run, and after running a hundred miles just now, Long Er nodded reluctantly. "Okay, I believe what you say, but I don't believe you, I believe that my 'oil' runs extremely fast. Obviously, the tone was a little insufficient, and he couldn't get Chi You's foot strength, after all, Long Er hadn't traveled far during this time, and he hadn't tried Chi You's real foot strength.
"Then the second point, let me ask you, what about our rations, even if it is 7 days back and forth, we will eat. Now that there is a great drought everywhere, and we don't bring food, what are we going to eat?"
"We only need food rations for 4 days. Zhou Buyi said confidently with the cloth bag on his shoulder.
"You're saying we'll be back in four days?"
"I didn't say it was your fantasy. Zhou Buyi's tone was a little unforgiving.
"What are we going to eat and drink for the rest of the day?"
"When the time comes, you will have your own way. "Zhou Buyi is not easy to play tricks.
Long Er scolded Shi Dang Nunu, expressing his incomprehension and ridicule. "Let's see how ugly he is." ”
