Chapter 144: Asking for Rain (Part II)
"I don't listen anymore, sleep! I don't want to live long!" Yu Huashui now feels that these words are very unpleasant, he doesn't expect or hope for that kind of situation, as long as he can be happy with Lu Xiaoxue for a lifetime, it is enough. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In order to avoid further torment in his ears, he took a cotton blanket and sat on the ground, leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes.
The other three froze for a moment, unable to speak, and continued to close their eyes and recuperate.
......
The cursor on the light and shadow map approached Suncheonfu, and the carriage slanted down steadily, and in the dark night, only eight torch-like eyes and a circle of light rings could be seen.
The carriage landed, and a puff of dust could be seen in the night. The carriage galloped forward for a while, slowing down until it came to a standstill, and the four horses swallowed in unison, the light in their eyes disappeared, and the circle of light around the carriage was faint.
The interior of the car is warm and comfortable, and it is easy to fall asleep, until this time, Yu Huashui is still asleep, which is a happy event for a bright future.
The other three were not distracted by the stop of the carriage, and continued to close their eyes and recuperate, preparing for the search for the Dragon Spirit Yuan Bead.
The sky gradually brightened, the morning sun sprinkled the earth, and the breeze brought a hint of dryness and coldness.
Soon after, a beam of sunlight shone in through the car window, Yu Huashui's hearty dream was disturbed, reluctant to open his eyes, was stinging by the sun, hurriedly avoided his face and rubbed his eyes, saw that the three of them were still still recuperating, and felt a trace of chill outside the car, so he put on a thick jacket and got out of the carriage, first stretched his waist, and moved his whole body. Thanks to the six senior brothers, they have the heart to prepare something to protect against the cold!
"It turns out that the climate in the north is not so cold, far worse than the Tianshan Mountains. Yu Huashui felt that it was just dry and cold, not as cold as he imagined, and after glancing at it, he said to himself in confusion: "It's strange, the weather is not hot, why is it drying up everywhere, as if the wind is dry?"
The grass and trees on the side of the road are withered and yellow, and the road is covered with a thick layer of dust, imprinted with unsightly and countless ruts and footprints. Not far away, the river has dried up to the bottom, and the silt has cracked and cracked into irregular mouths. In short, the surroundings are so desolate.
"It looks like it's been a long time since it's rained. Lu Xiaoxue got out of the carriage, dressed in a wool cloak, as if she was beautiful, and guessed the reason and said.
Xiang Miya was also wearing a cloak, stood aside, seemed to be comparable to her, looked at it, and said: "It has not rained for a long time, the air is dry and cold, the grass and trees are yellow, and all the moisture is dry, it seems that the people will have no harvest in autumn, and there will be a drought coming." ”
Yu Pengcheng took a look and said: "Summer has not gone, this place is close to winter, it is really an unusual climate, the soil is thick, there is no rain for at least half a year, and there are indeed signs of drought." According to common sense, the temperature here should not be much different from the Central Plains, but now it is so obvious, there must be some mystery in it. ”
Yu Huashui thought about it, it is the end of summer, why has it become so dry and cold, so he said: "Then let's go to the city to inquire first!" No longer slow, turned around and got into the car, and sorted out a package.
The other three also simply packed up the package and prepared some daily clothes.
And the package of Yuhuashui is obviously much larger than the three of them, and it is heavy, and there is nothing else in it except food, but I don't want to go to the South China Sea again, and it will be unbearable to go to famine.
Yu Pengcheng turned around and unloaded the charm of the carriage, and a ray of light appeared in the carriage, which instantly shrank, returned to its original size, and fell back into the palm of his hand.
"Carriage ......" Yu Huashui was about to ask what to do with the carriage, but when he saw that it had shrunk to the size of his palm, he said in surprise: "Brother En, no wonder you said that the weight of the carriage is only one catty, two taels and three dollars, and now I understand that it is only such a small size." Brother En, this carriage is your magic weapon, how did you refine it? You have time to teach me, it's so fun!" said that he had snatched the carriage, and he couldn't put it down, and he couldn't believe that he had flown all night in this carriage, "Brother En, this is made of copper and iron, right? It's very delicate and lifelike...... No, no, it's alive!"
Lu Xiaoxue also understood the magic weapon of the carriage, and admired it, and said: "Yu Gongzi's cultivation is outstanding, and he can refine his own magic weapon, which is the dream of disciples in various sects. Refining his own magic weapon shows that he has laid the foundation for future ascension, and Yu Gongzi is really superior. ”
Magic weapons are not refined if you want to, and it takes a lot of effort during the period, and you must have qualifications. Of course, if you can cultivate the best magic weapons, you can resist the divine weapons and magic immortal methods, which can be said to be a distance for the road to ascending to godhood.
Nowadays, among the various sects, there are only a handful of people who can refine their own magic weapons. If it is said that the most expert in cultivating magic weapons, it is none other than the Xianlong Sword Sect, and all kinds of magic weapons in the faction to subdue demons and subdue demons have long been famous all over the world, especially spell magic weapons are the most commonly used.
However, Yu Pengcheng's carriage magic weapon is novel. Weapons that can transport a helping hand are different from others.
"Presumably, it took a lot of effort for Yu Gongzi to cultivate this carriage, right?" Xiang Miao asked, since she didn't pay attention to any magic weapons, but she knew that cultivating magic weapons was not an easy task.
Yu Pengcheng said ashamedly: "This is what I imagined when I was cultivating, I thought it could replace the flying of the sword, but it took nearly 10,000 charms to succeed, but the speed was never as fast as the sword." It has been abandoned by me for several years, and today I have no choice but to think that there was such a thing, so I took it out and used it, and it was not in vain that it could come in handy. ”
As early as a few years ago, I refined the carriage magic weapon, tried it for a few days, and found that the speed was defective, and it was not as easy as my own sword, so I left it idle, and now it has a use, and I also feel some comfort, and I finally didn't work in vain.
"Brother En, the carriage has been returned to you. "Yu Huashui heard that it took a lot of hard work to refine this magic weapon, and he didn't dare to play with it anymore, and it would be difficult to accidentally break it.
Yu Pengcheng took the carriage and put it in the package, and said, "Okay, let's go to the city, ask about the mountains, lakes and lakes in this area, and learn about the local drought situation by the way." ”
The road was as soft as snow, and the four of them entered the city step by step.
The first thing I smelled was the sandalwood fragrance after the burning of the incense candles, and the second thing I saw was that there were many people gathered on the wider road ahead.
"What's going on, go and see!" Yu Huashui said curiously, without asking if the three of them had any objections, and strode towards the crowd.
Along the way, I found incense burners placed in every house, lighting candles and burning incense.
Here, a small number of men and women, a few hundred people, unanimously bow to the north, there is an altar in front, a middle-aged Taoist priest holds a sandalwood sword, lights candles and burns incense, and is opening the altar to practice.
After standing aside and watching for a moment, Yu Huashui asked in a low voice: "Brother En, so many people are throwing themselves to the ground, which god are they worshipping?
"They were praying for rain from heaven. Yu Pengcheng knew it at a glance, and it could be seen that everyone felt in crisis.
Xiang Xuan's eyes fell on the Taoist priest, saw some clues, and said: "This Taoist priest is just going to be so perfunctory here, and he is here to perfunctory everyone, talking about cultivation or not, it is purely superficial work, if he can ask for rain, this girl will kowtow to him three times." As a peer, Yu Gongzi should be clear at a glance, should he take care of things that cheat, cheat, and damage the reputation of cultivators?"
"Let's take a look. Yu Pengcheng said indifferently, there is no need, try not to cause more trouble.
"What?fake Taoist priest?!" Yu Huashui asked in surprise, thinking that it was for the benefit of the people, but he didn't expect it to be a person who cheated money, "Xiaoxue, do you see it? Is it true or false?"
Lu Xiaoxue knew in her heart that it was false, but she didn't answer.
The Taoist priest waved the sandalwood sword, wiped the tip of the wooden sword with the palm of his hand, leaving I don't know whether it was sweat or water or glue, and glued up a piece of paper on the spot, and sent it to light it at the candle flame, and waved a few movements with wide sleeves, and said in his mouth: "The spirit of the sky, the spirit of the earth, the god of heaven and earth is obviously manifested, the rain does not stop, I see the line, quickly save the people, the god of heaven and earth will appear quickly, and the urgency is as urgent as the law!"
After doing the same thing several times in a row, the Taoist priest turned around and said loudly: "Okay, the gods in the sky have learned that everyone is worshipping sincerely, and I have explained the local situation to the heavens. As he spoke, he held a large wooden box with a gossip pattern in both hands, "This is not to ask you to give alms, nor to defraud you of money, but to reflect your sincerity to the gods, you don't care how much silver you have, as long as you have a sincere heart, the gods will bless you and eliminate disasters for you." ”
When Yu Huashui saw that everyone had offered silver taels, he couldn't help but rush forward to uncover the face of the Taoist priest, so that everyone would no longer be deceived.
"Brother Fish......" Yu Pengcheng failed to stop him, worried about causing trouble, so he hurriedly followed.
Lu Xiaoxue and Xiang Miaoya followed.
"Wait a minute!" Yu Huashui stood in front of the Taoist priest and said, "You said that there was rain for three days, what if you didn't say anything? If so, then can you explain when you see the clouds and the wind, and how much rain will it take? According to what you say, everyone present can ask for rain, say three days, seven days, ten days, let people wait, when there is no rain, where will they go to confront you?"
Judging from this environment, it may not rain for ten and a half months, or even longer and longer.
Everyone cast strange eyes, dissatisfied, and finally invited someone to ask for rain, and the kid who came out of nowhere was fooling around!
The Taoist priest glanced at Yuhuashui, and secretly shouted that it was not good, someone came to dismantle the stage, and said as soon as he moved: "As long as the heart is sincere, it will work, and the people present must not be distracted, otherwise the success will fall short." I see that you have a bad heart, deliberately coaxing here, without the slightest sincerity, if the rain does not arrive on the third day, it means that you are not sincere, and let the gods collect the rain and not fall!"
It's not easy to mix up at this opportunity, and if you dare to break the rice bowl, then you're welcome!
