Noon.

The sun is rising, and autumn is crisp.

When Lin Yi came to Konghe, it was just three poles in the morning.

The people who came to fetch water were already bustling and endless.

Bucket by bucket, cart by cart.

For them, it's all about their lives.

Rushing!

The river rushed through like a long and wide horse.

The water crashed under the bridge, causing heavy waves to splash on the piers and on the bridge deck.

Because of the long immersion in the water, the bridge pier formed a layer of mud, black and green.

Looking into the distance along the long river, the river twists and turns, and I don't know how many turns it has turned, until it disappears at the end of heaven and earth.

Lin Yi didn't have time to enjoy the magnificent scenery, so he came to the Dragon King Temple early.

He sat still, walking to the temple, walking to the bridge, anxiously waiting.

Lin Yi really didn't know the bottom in his heart, because the mountain god has always been unobservant, grinding and chirping, looking forward and backward.

If you let him go, he doesn't have a temper.

After waiting for about half an hour, just as he was gradually losing his patience, he suddenly saw a golden light in the distance.

The golden light was like thunder, slashing down from mid-air and landing steadily.

After landing, the golden light disappeared, revealing a figure.

But it was a middle-aged man in a brocade robe.

"It's finally here!" Lin Yi was overjoyed.

This man is not the god of the mountain.

Even if he has a bottom line, he came at the request and didn't release Lin Yi's pigeons.

The mountain god walked step by step, and the reason why he did not fly down the mountain temple was because he was afraid of disturbing the people, so he fell in the distance.

"Lord, I've been waiting for a long time!"

Walking to the gate of the Dragon King Temple, the mountain god smiled, and repeatedly showed favor to Lin Yi, "I've been really busy recently, it's not too late to hurry, please don't be surprised." ”

How dare Lin Yi blame him, and laughed it off, "The immortal is serious, don't say polite words, it's important to get down to business." ”

"Okay, let's get down to business first. ”

The mountain god nodded, and then walked into the Dragon King Temple.

Lin Yi had already driven out the pilgrims inside, and no one was allowed to pay their respects.

In fact, it is for the good of these people.

If they see the dragon king suddenly appear, they lose their minds in excitement, and they don't necessarily cause some trouble.

In the temple, the mountain god looked up at the statue of the dragon king, laughed twice, and said, "Brother Long, my old friend is visiting, come out and see it quickly!"

The idol was silent.

The mountain god shouted a few words in a row, got impatient, and decisively stepped forward to step on the statue seat, and his fingers suddenly flicked, shooting out an inch and smashing on the head of the dragon king statue.

Rumble!

The sound like ringing a bell rang out, which shook Lin Yi a little.

It worked.

After the sound disappeared, a circle of divine light suddenly appeared on the statue of the Dragon King, rippling outward like ripples, and then condensed in the center.

The idol suddenly came to life, and the two dragon eyes the size of goose eggs shot out a flame-like golden light, which was very fiery.

Lin Yi was mortal with the naked eye, so he didn't dare to look directly at him, and hurriedly lowered his head.

"Who is it that disturbed Qingmeng, it turned out to be you bastard," the dragon king statue suddenly spoke, his voice was like a bell, shaking the heavens and the earth, "Qingqiu, why are you not guarding Qingqiu Mountain, running to the territory of the old dragon?"

The mountain god laughed twice, patted the head of the idol, and banged, "Why, I haven't seen you for a hundred years, I came to see my old friend today to relieve my longing?"

"Come less," the Dragon King seemed to be unconvinced, "You have never been profitable and can't afford to go early, and you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, let's say, are you in any trouble?"

The mountain god coughed lightly, turned around and walked to Lin Yi's side, and said, "Brother Long also underestimates me too much, I came today to introduce a friend to Brother Long." ”

Only then did the Dragon King notice Lin Yi's existence.

But what if he noticed it, he could see at a glance that Lin Yi was a mortal, and his cultivation was not good.

What qualifications do you have to be friends with him?

"Feel at ease in the poor road, meet the Dragon King!"

Lin Yi bowed down and bowed.

The Dragon King didn't pay attention to Lin Yi at all, he glanced at it and saw that he couldn't see it, stared at the mountain god, and said, "Qingqiu, don't be kidding, how can a mere mortal be qualified to make friends with immortals, let alone a little Taoist who is not in the stream!"

"Ahem," the mountain god was very embarrassed, "Brother Long, don't underestimate him, he is the master of the Taigu Temple, Master ......"

He originally wanted to say that Lin Yi was an apprentice of a great immortal, but after thinking about it, this was Lin Yi's secret, and Lin Yi didn't say it himself, and he couldn't reveal it, so he didn't mention it.

"Brother Long, don't talk about anything else, I have something to do with you today. ”

Finally, the mountain god restrained his expression and became serious.

The dragon king is not strange, he knows the mountain god, if this guy is fine, he will not come to Konghe to look for him.

"Qingqiu, let's be straight, I don't like to beat around the bush, old dragon. ”

The mountain god understood, laughed twice, and then raised his hand and pointed to the outside of the temple, "The dragon king should have seen these people who came to carry water." ”

The Dragon King nodded, "I see it every day, and I am used to it." ”

"Why did they walk dozens of miles to fetch water from the Konghe River?" asked the mountain god again.

The Dragon King said without hesitation: "There is a big drought in Anning County, and they have no water to use, so they naturally have to go to the Konghe River to get water. ”

The mountain god paused and continued to ask: "Anning County is a place under the jurisdiction of the Dragon King, and it should be smooth in the wind and rain, why is there a great drought for half a year for no reason, making the people miserable?"

In an instant, the Dragon King paused and did not answer.

If he really was here, his face would be extremely ugly.

This question has obviously hit the opposite scale.

The dragon king snorted coldly and said: "Qingqiu, you can't help but be too wide, the rainfall has its own fixed number, the old dragon is just acting in the sky, you are a little mountain god, take care of your own mountain, why bother to come to Anning County to do it!"

"Besides, we can't mix with mortals at will when we do immortals, otherwise we will be implicated by cause and effect, or there may be a catastrophe!"

The Dragon King's words were not alarmist.

Of course, the mountain god understands, so when it comes to mortal matters, he has always been very careful.

"Brother Long, you misunderstood, I will never care about the affairs of Anning County, I am just curious to ask. The mountain god was immediately intimidated.

He didn't want to be nosy.

It's just that I was entrusted by Lin Yi and had to come.

has done his best, and he has also explained to Lin Yi.

Seeing that this matter was going to end without a problem, Lin Yi suddenly took out a desperate move, came to the statue, first bowed three times, and then said: "Dragon King, the poor Dao is just an ordinary man, and his knowledge is shallow, but it can also be seen that the Dragon King has gained a lot of benefits from the people of Anning County!"

As soon as these words came out, the Dragon King was suspicious and angry, and his voice suddenly raised his voice, "Little Taoist, what do you mean, how can I take the benefits of Anning County, old dragon!"

Lin Yi smiled faintly, unhurried, "Dragon King, how was the incense in your temple before?"

At this question, the dragon king was stunned.

After thinking about it, I had to tell the truth, "The incense is bleak, and at most one or two people visit the shrine every day." ”

"What now?" Lin Yi asked again.

The dragon king was speechless for a while, and said, "There are ...... every day There are hundreds of people who pay their respects!"

"Hehe," Lin Yi sneered twice, and said, "It seems that the Dragon King has benefited a lot from the great drought!"

The Dragon King was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "Are you saying that this immortal deliberately sent down the drought to reap the benefits of incense?"

Lin Yi stood with his arms crossed and said calmly: "Isn't it?"
