Chapter 146: Evil Light (II)
Yu Huashui thought about it, he must have been hospitable when he entered the house, and he could have a good meal, but he didn't expect to encounter such a good thing, and said: "Hehe, we haven't eaten breakfast yet, how can we be embarrassed to ......"
Xiang Miao Aya glanced at him, if he didn't remember anything, he remembered to eat, he thought about eating in his heart, I don't know if there is anything else!
By this time, the crowd had dispersed and the atmosphere had relaxed. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Yu Pengcheng glanced at the Taoist robe on the ground and sighed secretly. It's not a good thing to go to the house, just to learn the details, hugging his fists and saying: "Since the adults are invited, it is better to be respectful." ”
The leading soldier immediately ordered one of his subordinates to quickly return to the house to inform the preparation of breakfast, and then said, "Four please!"
"Okay, good, hurry!" Yuhuashui can't wait, after entering the city, he should find a restaurant for breakfast, but let the matter of asking for rain be forgotten, now there is a free breakfast, don't eat in vain, and the food brought is kept to prevent unpreparedness.
Lu Xiaoxue smiled lightly, his unrestrained words and deeds always made him feel relaxed and happy.
The Song Mansion is a large courtyard, in which there are many houses, there are soldiers standing guard at the gate, and the whole mansion is a strict scene.
When they arrived at the gate of the house, two lines of soldiers stood on the left and right sides.
Lord Song walked out of the door with laughter, fifty years old, dressed in civilian clothes, and stepped forward and said: "The disciples of the Xianlong Sword Sect are fortunate to arrive, and they are far away, I don't know if I don't know the mistakes, I hope the four of you will forgive me." ”
Such a generous, tolerant, cautious and hospitable attitude surprised the four of them, and contrary to their imagination, they did not have an official appearance but added an approachable smile.
Yu Pengcheng said modestly: "My lord's words are serious, isn't this here to greet you? I am very honored to receive the kindness of the adults, and it has added a lot of trouble to your house. ”
"Polite, polite!" Lord Song laughed loudly and said: "I have heard for a long time that the Dragon Sword Sect has killed countless demons and demons, and we were able to meet today, it should be said that the old man is fortunate to have three lives, and it is natural to be a little landlord." In order to get Ganyu, the people in the city misunderstood the four who came from afar, and the old man had set up a banquet in the house, which made the four of them shocked. ”
"It's so fast, it's so good!" Yu Huashui said in surprise, unbelievable, breakfast was prepared in such a short time, rich and powerful people are different!
As soon as Xiang Miya heard that he was concerned about "eating", she was angry, and for the sake of face, she could only swallow the angry words into her stomach.
Yu Pengcheng said again: "It's not a secret, this time it is not only the Xianlong Sword Sect that came together, but also Miss Lu of the Tianshan Heavenly Immortal Sword Sect, and this Xiang girl......
Xiang Miya hurriedly interrupted and introduced herself: "There is no door and no faction in the next place, the women of the rivers and lakes, don't laugh at the adults." I was flattered to be so hospitalized by adults. ”
Lord Song said in surprise: "Oh, the disciples of the Heavenly Immortal Sword Sect of the Tianshan Mountains have also come, and this fragrant woman, the old man feels very honored. The old man has admired the four major immortal sword sects in the world for a long time, and there is nothing more joyful than meeting the disciples of the two sects today. Look, just talking about it, I forgot to invite the four of you to sit in the house, please hurry up!"
There is a gap in age between Yu Pengcheng and Lord Song, but they are familiar at first sight and can talk to each other, so they have a lot to say as soon as they meet.
When they arrived at the banquet hall in the house, the four of them sat down one after another.
A relatively rich table of dishes lures Yu Huashui to salivate, and in order not to lose his elegance, he gently swallows his saliva.
Lord Song smiled and said, "Come on, come on, it's commonplace, everyone can use it casually, you're welcome!"
Yu Huashui immediately hurriedly held the chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Adults are open-minded and informal, so you will not be polite!"
Xiang Miya pressed his chopsticks with his hand, even if the host was not formal, the guest could not be polite, and said, "My lord, please first!"
When Lord Song saw that several people paid attention to etiquette, he thought that he should take the lead first, laughed, held his chopsticks and said, "Come on, come on, eat together!"
After Yu Huashui waited for him to pick up the dishes, under the cold eyes of Xiang Aya, Sven politely held the chopsticks and began to eat, not forgetting to pick up some dishes and send them to the two of them.
I couldn't help it for a long time, the food was fragrant, which made my appetite great, and I couldn't care about being polite at the moment, and eating it generously was of course more fragrant than eating food like dumplings.
In fact, this table of dishes is specially prepared for four people, and it is a little richer, but a few more dishes have been added. Due to the advent of the drought and famine, the people in the city cut back on food and clothing, and Lord Song, as the lord of a city, took into account the crisis and focused on food every day. Today, when I learned that the "Four Great Sword Sects" that I had admired for a long time were coming, I specially ordered my subordinates to add a few more dishes to entertain.
Yu Pengcheng put down the dishes and chopsticks, frowned slightly, and said: "My lord, what I saw on the road, the rivers in this area have dried up, the grass and trees have died, and there should have been no rain for more than half a year. ”
If you know the details, you can make a decision, and if there is a place that destroys feng shui against the sky, you can rectify it. If it doesn't rain, there must be a reason.
Lord Song's face added a deep sadness, and he sighed and said: "It has been seven months and nineteen days without half a drop of rain, and now the people are struggling to make a living, the crops have died, there is not much left, and the autumn is about to have no harvest." If the drought continues, the temperature drops again, and within a month, the deep well spring water will be exhausted, and even if the old man opens a warehouse to release grain to help the people, I am afraid it will be useless, and in the end the people will still have to be wronged to flee the famine. So far, the altar has been held several times to ask for rain, none of which can be successful, the mage and Taoist priests take turns to invite, but they don't know where to go, and the people have also spent a lot of silver taels, alas!"
There was such a disaster, as an official, it was difficult to sleep and eat, but there was no way to do it, and God didn't open his eyes!
Xiang Miao Aya sneered, laughed at those who were greedy for money, and said: "My lord, if there is no rain in the sky, how can you ask people to ask for it casually? Some lawless people take advantage of this opportunity to defraud the people of their money, but they can no longer let the greedy people be proud, so I hope that the adults will stop the matter of asking for rain." We have more than enough heart but not enough strength, and we are kind enough to persuade everyone, but we are black!"
When I thought of this, I was angry, my kindness was not rewarded, and I was even more angry that Yuhuashui was nosy, asking for hardships, and it affected everyone.
Master Song knew what he was saying, and said ashamedly: "It turns out that the four of them can see that the rain seeker's heart is not right, so they will escape into the predicament. It's all to blame the old man for begging for rain and ignoring this serious consequence, he really shouldn't be so careless. After receiving the reminder from the four, the old man suddenly realized, please rest assured, after the meal, he ordered to put an end to the matter of begging for rain, so as not to suffer further losses for the people. "I said that I would not ask for rain, but I was worried in my heart, and there was no way to resolve this disaster, "The sky will destroy my city, and I will not fight with the sky, but I can only follow the will of heaven." If you can't solve disasters for the people, you're really ashamed of me, the official of a city!"
Lu Xiaoxue was sad, and praised him even more for being a good official for the country and the people, and would rather suffer himself than see the people of the city suffer.
Yu Pengcheng shook his head and sighed, and asked, "My lord, seven months ago, did some strange signs occur in the area of Shuntianfu?"
Asking for rain is not the root cause, there must be something against the sky, only to trace back to the source and find out thoroughly.
Lord Song clearly remembered what happened seven months ago, so he said: "When the young man said this, the old man remembered that before the nineteenth day of the seventh month, a black light rushed to the sky, and suddenly the sky and the earth were dark, and when night fell, the people in the city were all panicked, thinking that the heavens were going to make trouble, but fortunately, it returned to normal the next day, but the temperature dropped a lot. It was a false alarm, but I didn't expect that there would be no rain all the time, and that time must have been a sign of disaster. ”
Lu Xiaoxue agreed: "The black light, that is, the fierce light, seems to be the source of the drought, adults can know where the light source is, I can go and find out." ”
Since it is a black light rushing to the sky, it must be born from the earth, and only by going to find out what is going on can we get to the bottom of it.
Lord Song recalled for a moment and said: "According to insiders, the black light came from the Black Dragon Pond in the north, this statement is not reliable, the old man is just hearsay, and he has not verified it." ”
"Black Light, Black Dragon Pond?" asked Yu Huashui in surprise. I just cared about eating, and I didn't care about everyone's conversation at all, but the words "black light" and "black dragon pool" lingered in my mind, and according to the signs of Zhenze and Sun Moon Qitan, it must be where the black dragon spirit yuan bead is, and it is similar to the results measured by Changmei and the four elders from the Xuanji platform, it must be in the pool.
Xiang Miya saw what he had learned, and knew that it was most likely the black spirit bead he was looking for, so as not to be suspicious of outsiders, he raised his hand and slapped him, and said coldly: "What's all the fuss?
At the same time, Yu Pengcheng and Lu Xiaoxue also saw that the Dragon Spirit Yuan Zhuding was related to the Black Dragon Pond.
Lord Song didn't speculate about what the four of them wanted to do, and continued: "Since that day, the Black Dragon Pond has been closed and has never been opened. It is precisely because the black dragon does not rain that the old man asked the people to invite the mage to open the altar and ask for rain from the sky. ”
"My lord is saying that the black dragon in the pond is responsible for the rain in this area?" Xiang Miya asked, there are indeed supernatural things in the pool, and it is not yet possible to determine whether it is good or evil.
"Not bad. Lord Song nodded and said: "This matter has to start from a long time, it is said that there are two dragons born in the northeast of the White Dragon Pond, after growing up, the brothers separated, the black dragon took the initiative to give the white dragon pool to his younger brother Bailong, and came to the valley by himself. At that time, it was a barren mountain and valley, without a drop of grass, a tree, or a drop of water, and the honest black dragon incarnated as an adult, working hard day and night, and wanted to create his own home. Finally, there was no wasted labor, the ancestor of Yunmeng of Daxi Mountain passed by, saw the hard-working black dragon, admired it, and was moved by it, so he gave a ribbon and eighteen pearls to the black dragon, but the black dragon sprinkled the pearl in the valley, turned into eighteen strange pools, the ribbon waved, and the valley instantly turned into spring. Since then, the surrounding area has been well weathered. Now, for some reason, the black dragon no longer opens the pool to spread clouds and rain. ”
"I see. Yu Pengcheng understood the origin, and was convinced that the black dragon in the pool must have changed because of the Dragon Spirit Yuanzhu, and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely go to find out the situation, so that the black dragon can recover its nature and continue to benefit the common people." ”
The reason is obvious, it is not declared, in order to get the Dragon Spirit Yuan Zhu and save the people, you must go there.
