Chapter 32: The Heavy Rain
The twenty-first day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar.
Heavy rains occurred in many provinces in southwest China.
On the twenty-third day of April, the torrential rain had lasted for three days, and the sky was still drowsy, and there was no improvement in the slightest.
Behind Laifeng Mountain is a winding river, called Yinlong River by locals, which traverses the entire Feifeng County and eventually joins the Yangtze River.
At this time, it was noon, and the dark clouds over Laifeng Mountain were like mountains, and they did not move at all.
The torrential rain fell on every part of Xiao Miaoyanguan.
Three days ago, Xiao Miaoyanguan's house had been completed, the exterior and interior of the hall had been arranged, and Bai Fengchen took Dajin Xiaoqing Zhu Ba to invite Tianzun into the hall with a grand etiquette on the same day.
It was a lifelike sculpture by an old Taoist priest.
The Tianzun sculpture gives the whole Xiaomiaoyan a charm that cannot be understood.
And next to Tianzun, the small sculpture is an old Taoist priest, from the hand of Bai Fengchen.
Although the old Taoist priest and Tianzun are somewhat similar in appearance, there are still obvious differences.
The old Taoist priest's cheekbones are not as bright as Tianzun's, and his eyes are not as sharp as Tianzun's kindness, giving people a sense of bitterness and meanness in a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.
This is what the old Taoist priest looked like in his later years.
Although Bai Fengchen knew that the old Taoist priest and Tianzun were actually the same person, and which one was worshipped, outsiders didn't know.
Moreover, Bai Fengchen hadn't told Dajin the identity of their old Taoist priest.
The main hall was filled with smoke, and there were three nondescript animals sitting, all chanting scriptures.
Among them, Dajin in the center of the futon is the most honest and Xiaoqing earnestly praises the scriptures.
And Zhu Ba, who is on the right side of Dajin, is lying on the futon, humming a few words in a fake manner, and a pair of eyelids are constantly fighting, like you in English class.
At this time, Bai Fengchen was walking on the bank of the Yinlong River.
He was drenched in the rain, and his robe was pressed directly against his body.
At this time, the water level of the Yinlong River soared, and if it continued like this, the downstream would inevitably suffer.
At this time, the Central Plains region was suffering from a severe drought.
Bai Fengchen didn't pay so much attention, and walked on the shore step by step.
At this moment, he has entered the county seat of Feifeng County.
There is a road along the Yinlong River.
There were police cars parked on the highway and people who were broadcast live on the TV station.
The young female reporter wore a pale green raincoat and held a microphone in the midst of the torrential rain and strong wind.
"Hello everyone, I am reporter Zhang Tong, the scene is like this, the water level of the Yinlong River has skyrocketed, has exceeded the previous historical water level, Peng Guofu and Zhou Minqiang two experts on the spot predicted that if today's rainfall continues, tomorrow at noon will exceed the maximum warning line, the advice of the two experts is to immediately evacuate the downstream people and prepare for the worst. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, her colleague held the camera, and suddenly saw a person walking on the bank of the Yinlong River in the camera!
"Zhang Tong, look, there's a person over there. ”
Her colleague hurriedly pointed in one direction.
Zhang Tong looked at it, and sure enough, he saw the figure in the future.
At this time, Xiao Gao on the shore saw the figure and frowned.
Hurriedly walked over to signal them.
Zhang Tong hurriedly changed the topic and handed the topic to the host of the county TV station.
Xiao Gao said: "That's the Bai Dao chief who came to Fengshan to observe the small and mysterious. ”
Zhang Tong frowned and said, "What is a little Taoist priest doing here? Don't you know that it is very dangerous next to the Yinlong River?"
"Well, I don't believe he can stop the rain. ”
Zhang Tong's colleagues also followed.
Of course, Xiao Gao was not convinced, looked at Bai Fengchen on the shore, and said: "Bai Dao Chang is a capable person, and he may not really be able to stop the rain." ”
"Blow you? Do you want him to open the altar and burn paper and incense to pray to heaven to stop the rain?" Zhang Tong sneered, "What age is this, and Officer Gao also believes in this." ”
Xiao Gao doesn't argue with them, because there are some things that you only know if you have experienced them yourself.
At this time, two elderly men in their fifties walked towards them wearing raincoats.
Both of them have big faces with Chinese characters, both are big men of more than 1.7 meters, slightly chubby, and upright.
"Professor Peng, Professor Zhou. ”
Several people shouted.
Peng Guofu and Zhou Minqiang nodded.
Peng Guofu pointed to the people on the shore with a somewhat ugly face, and said: "Xiao Gao, go and bring the person over there, don't die, how dangerous it is to walk by the river like this! If one is accidentally caught in the water, it will be difficult to rescue." ”
At this time, the water of the Yinlong River is turbulent and turbid, and if someone falls, it is difficult to rescue at the first time.
Xiao Gao hurriedly responded, hurriedly got off the road, and ran towards Bai Fengchen.
"White Dao Chang, Bai Dao Chang!"
Xiao Gao shouted as he ran out of breath, splashing high every time he landed.
Bai Fengchen was thinking about it, and when he heard the sound, he saw Xiao Gao running over, and on the road in the distance, there were not only cars, but more than a dozen people looking at him.
Wait for the small high to approach.
Bai Fengchen saluted and said, "Master Gao, why are you here?"
Xiao Gao immediately smiled bitterly: "Experts from the province came to inspect the water level of the Yinlong River, I was ordered to go to work, so I followed the experts here, they saw that you were alone by the river and dangerous, and asked me to come and take you to the side of the road." ”
Bai Fengchen answered, and he could see almost it, so he followed Xiao Gao from the side of the road.
On the way, Xiao Gao asked, "Is there any solution for the Daoist?" ”
Bai Fengchen was surprised: "Why do you ask that?"
Xiao Gao smirked and scratched the back of his head, "Bai Daochang's ability is so high, there should be a way!"
Bai Fengchen smiled, "There is a way, but they don't believe it." ”
Xiao Gao was surprised: "It won't be the method of opening the altar!"
Bai Fengchen smiled noncommittally and walked in front of Xiao Gao.
Xiao Gao scratched his head sadly, although he believed Bai Fengchen's words, others didn't believe it.
"I've met a few donors. ”
Bai Fengchen stood on the road and saluted a few people on the road.
Zhou Minqiang saw that it was a Taoist chief, and he also saluted and said: "I have seen the Taoist chief, dare to ask where is the name of the master?"
Bai Fengchen smiled indifferently and said: "The poor road comes to Fengshan Xiaomiao Yanguan, the common family name is Bai, the road name is Fengchen, and the teacher is Qinghua Zhenren." ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhou Minqiang curiously, few people would use the etiquette that would only be used when two Taoist priests meet.
That's why he asked, "Has the benefactor ever cultivated the Tao?" ”
Zhou Minqiang shook his head and said, "No, but I know Zhou Daochang of Jiangling Dao Academy." ”
Bai Fengchen suddenly realized, no wonder he saw that he was somewhat similar to Zhou Huahan's demeanor.
"The Taoist chief observed by the water's edge if there was any solution. ”
Peng Guofu frowned and said: "Lao Zhou, you are confused, what can he do as a little Taoist, what age is it, you still believe in this, everything must be looked at from a scientific perspective, if the current young people are like him, then our next generation is really finished." ”
