Chapter 75: Asking for Rain
"If the Immortals accept our offerings, please give us guidance!"
Qiu Feng secretly cast a spell.
But seeing the long sword tremble, it pierced into the water tank, sucked out a stream of water, and went against the sword.
Like a water dragon.
Qiu Feng suddenly drew his sword and pointed to the sky.
The sword trembled, the water dragon soared into the sky, and the condensed water column suddenly dispersed, like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers.
The water column turned into dripping droplets, and large swaths fell from mid-air and sprinkled around the courtyard.
Syllable!
Bang!
The water fell on everyone's clothes, faces, and hair, and it was cold and cold.
"Next...... It's raining!"
"It's really raining!"
"God be gracious!"
"Haha, the mage didn't lie to us, and the rain was successful!"
The villagers were ecstatic and wept one by one.
When they finally saw the rain in half a year, they were naturally excited.
Qiu Feng smiled and continued to do so, inserting the long sword into the water tank under the table.
With just a small spell, a large amount of water can be condensed on the sword.
Then rely on spiritual power to release sword qi.
The water flew into the air with the sword qi, exploding like fireworks, forming raindrops.
The villagers naturally thought that God was gracious and sent them rain.
One by one, they wept with joy, thanking the Master, and thanking the heavens.
Lin Yi hid in the dark, looking crying and laughing.
I have to admire, these three guys are very smart, and they actually came up with such a clever plan to make rain, which can be described as "painstaking", it is estimated that they have deceived many people before, and they are very skilled.
Lin Yi saw through it at a glance, but the villagers were all mortals and couldn't see through the tricks.
However, when the rain was sprinkled, some villagers still noticed that something was wrong.
"Master, why is there only rain near the courtyard and not anywhere else?" asked one of the villagers.
Obviously, the courtyard was wet all around, and it was still dry outside.
Qiu Feng nodded and smiled, confident, and said: "That's right, just now it was just an omen given by God, don't worry, there will be rain tomorrow." ”
"By then, all your villages will be able to overcome the drought. ”
At this time, the villagers no longer doubted and praised one after another.
"I see!"
"Mage, what do you need us to do?"
"We'll do it!"
Qiu Feng shook his head, "You have already made offerings and won the favor of the immortals, so you don't have to do anything else, just go home and wait." ”
The villagers looked at each other and were about to thank the three mages, when Qiu Feng pointed to the eight children on the stone platform and said, "However, these eight children must stay at the altar overnight and not leave without permission, and they can only close the altar and get out when the rain rains down tomorrow." ”
The villagers didn't understand the doorway, and they didn't dare to ask more, as long as Qiu Feng said, they didn't have the courage not to do it.
Although the children's parents are worried, they also have to think about the overall situation.
"Mage, let us stay with the children!" the fathers and mothers pleaded, still uneasy.
Hearing this, Qiu Feng's face changed suddenly, and his face showed anger, "Why, you can't trust this mage?"
"No, that's not what we meant," the villagers knelt on their knees in fright, for fear of annoying Qiu Feng, "Mage don't be angry, we think that a few little dolls are young and frail, will it be ...... to keep a night outside?"
"Don't worry," Qiu Feng waved his hand impatiently, interrupting the villagers, "With the three of us here, I will take good care of them." ”
"If they can trust us, let them continue to keep the altar. ”
"If you can't believe it, you can remove the altar, and I'll leave. ”
With that, he stood with his hands in his hands and a sneer on his face.
The villagers panicked and didn't dare to say more, so they had to do what Qiu Feng said.
Isn't it just guarding the altar?
Although the eight children are young, guarding the altar is not a matter of going up the knife mountain and going down to the sea of fire, at most it is uncomfortable for a night.
When the rain rains tomorrow, they will be the heroes.
"Okay, let's go home, there is no need to keep people at the altar," Qiu Feng grimaced and began to drive people away, "You wait for the mortal world to be too tacky, staying in the altar will disturb the immortals and affect the rain, understand!"
"Yes, yes!"
"I'm tired of the three mages. ”
"Let's go. ”
How dare the villagers have the slightest suspicion, and even if they do, they dare not speak, and they leave one after another.
The parents of these children were naturally the most worried, but they had no choice but to leave after bringing food and drink to the children.
In the blink of an eye, it will be dark.
There was silence near the altar.
Only Qiu Feng's three people and eight children are still honestly guarding the altar.
Of course, there is also Lin Yi in the shadows.
Lin Yi hid in a big tree outside the courtyard, staring straight at the altar.
He was still puzzled before, why Qiu Feng wanted to find eight children to guard the altar, but now he had a guess in his heart, and it was estimated that eight or nine would not be far from ten.
Gradually, it got dark.
Eight children were tired from the day, and before they knew it, they closed their eyes and fell asleep.
Qiu Feng and the three of them sneaked together, whispering, not knowing what they were discussing, their expressions were obviously wrong, revealing sinister and deceitful.
After discussion, the three of them actually pulled out a few hemp bags from under the table, as well as ropes and strips of cloth, obviously prepared.
"Let's go!"
The three of them picked up ropes and strips of cloth, walked to the stone platform, grabbed a five-year-old girl, and violently covered the girl's mouth.
The girl's eyes widened, she could not scream or move, and she was terrified.
She could only watch as her hands and feet were tied and her mouth was stuffed into a ball of cloth.
Then, it was dark!
Qiu Feng put the girl in a sack.
The other two walked to the stone platform next to them, and repeated their tricks, grabbed the children above, secretly tied them up and stuffed them into the sack, and their movements were fluent and skillful.
These children were not vigilant at all, and in a short time seven were arrested.
Taking a step back, even if they were vigilant, how could they fight with the three cultivators?
Ah Mao was the last one.
He finally realized that something was wrong, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the other seven children were all gone, but there were a few more sacks on the floor.
"Ah...... You ......"
Ah Mao screamed, and as soon as he was halfway through the shout, his mouth was covered by a big hand.
Immediately afterwards, the body was wrapped in ropes and stuffed into a sack.
A sack stuffed with three or four children weighs more than a hundred pounds, which is nothing to the monks.
Each of them picked up a sack and carried out a jar full of coins, ready to be opened.
"Hehe, senior brother, we're getting rich now!"
"This jar is so heavy, there must be a lot of money!"
"Idiot, what is this jar of money, sold eight rabbit cubs, at least a thousand taels!"
"Haha, Senior Brother is right!"
......
It turned out that Qiu Feng and the three of them had premeditated and were selling children.
They made a lot of money by selling eight children to other counties.
Boys are sold to large families as slaves, or sold to families without descendants, and girls are sold as maids, and if they have a beautiful face, they are sold as child daughters-in-law, and they earn more money.
Such an act of hurting nature and reason, they can do it!
Carrying three bags of marijuana and carrying cans, the trio escaped from the outfield and headed east.
It is not difficult to imagine what a sad scene it will be when the villagers come to the yard to welcome the rain with joy in the early morning of tomorrow morning!
