Chapter 314: Drought Fish
readx;
Xue Bi shook his head, threw these messy thoughts out of his mind, followed Yu'er and Yan Zi to the bedroom at the back of the hall, and put his hands on Yu'er's shoulders: "Anyway, this is your first time going to Yaochi, you have to prepare well!"
Yu'er's eyes wandered, and she said in a low voice: "Can't you not go?"
Xue Bi put his hands on his hips: "Of course not!"
"Go, go, it's fun!" Yan Zi persuaded with a smile. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yu'er changed the subject: "Abi, what do you just say you want to tell me?" Of course, she didn't want to leave the sea in her heart.
Xue Bi sighed helplessly, even if he wanted to avoid talking about it, he couldn't avoid this matter after all, so he considered his words and told the matter of the Three Holy Mother.
"There is such a thing!" Yan Zi opened her already round eyes, holding her hot cheeks with both hands: "No wonder he suddenly issued an edict, that Xu Xian is really lustful!" she gritted her teeth and said with no telling whether she was shy or annoyed.
Xue Bi said: "Yes, it seems that many sisters are very indignant, this gathering is probably to discuss how to deal with this matter!
"Something?" said Yu'er.
"Probably going to deal with Xu Xian!"
"I'm going!" Yu'er suddenly stood up: "Xu Xian won't do such a thing, I have to explain it to them!"
Xue Bi held her forehead, her attitude was already very clear, and she felt that it would be better to persuade her not to go!
But as the first party after joining Yaochi, I can't help but go!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Xu Xian accompanied Ao Li to the sky above Hangzhou, looking far away, sure enough, it was a clear sky, not a single cloud, the air was dry not like Jiangnan, fortunately, he did not see the river drying up, the earth cracked such a scene, let him feel a little relieved, it seems that it is just an abnormal weather, and it has not caused any disaster.
And the red leaves in the distant mountains are burning, there is a bit of autumn and refreshing taste, Xu Xian took a deep breath, thinking that it would be Chongyang in a few days, and he should gather with them to feast and drink, climb high and look far away.
Xu Xian didn't have time to appreciate the scenery carefully, Ao Li took his hand and flew straight west: "Let's go!"
After flying for a while, I came to a village above the river, and a temple was built in the air. The green smoke is swirling around, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums and suona, reaching the sky, many boats gather around the temple along the river, and there are many people worshipping in front of the temple!
Xu Xian touched his chin and muttered, "This is your temple, let's go down and have a look!"
Then he lowered the clouds, took Ao Li's hand and came to the temple, bypassed the big Ding furnace full of cigarette smoke, and many crazy men and women who knelt down and worshipped, approached the main hall, the hall was crowded, at a glance it was the back of a person, and the statue on the altar bowed three times and bowed nine times with great piety.
Ao Li said proudly: "How is it?"
Xu Xian praised: "Amazing, amazing!" suddenly laughed, pointed to the statue and whispered in Ao Li's ear: "Is that you?" The dragon king statue in this dragon king temple is very classic - the dragon lord wearing a gorgeous robe and a dragon head in the human body. The dragon's head is half hideous, half supernatural, in short, I can't tell the difference between the surname, but fortunately, I didn't make a mistake about the color, it was white.
The whispering that was close at hand, accompanied by a breath of heat, Ao Li felt that the tips of her ears were hot, and she couldn't help turning her head away from Xu Xian, and some unfamiliar emotions surged in her heart, which made her feel a little happy. But looking at Xu Xian's fingers, he immediately became angry, he was like this, and he gave Xu Xian an elbow blow without hesitation!
Xu Xian covered her stomach, pretending to have cracked her teeth, and her other hand was still holding her little Rouyi.
"Where did you come from, you dare to laugh in the Dragon King Temple!" a thin old woman said suddenly.
After all, in that solemn atmosphere, Xu Xian's smile was really abrupt, which attracted the attention of many people, and coupled with Ao Li's moving face, it attracted a lot of attention.
Ao Li snorted coldly: "It's your business!"
There was an uproar in the temple: "You dare to be disrespectful to Lord Miaozhu!" "This is disrespectful to Lord Longwang!" "Arrest them, otherwise Lord Longwang will not rain!"
"No swearing!" Xu Xian raised his hand to cover Ao Li's mouth and saluted to the witch blessing: "We passed by the precious land, we didn't know the etiquette, we didn't mean to offend, and we hope to atone for our sins!"
"For the sake of you being a foreigner, I asked the Dragon Lord for my guilt on the last pillar of incense, and I will spare you!" Wu Zhu saw that Xu Xianqi was extraordinary, and he didn't dare to offend too much.
"Woo, let go!" Ao Li pulled Xu Xian's hand covering her mouth hard, and Xu Xian's arm went around her shoulder, covering her mouth, almost holding her half-in his arms.
"Good, good. Xu Xian smiled in response, let go of Ao Li, first added incense money, took three sticks of incense to ignite, and bowed to the statue of the dragon king, although the true body of the dragon lord was beside him, and he was looking at her with indignant eyes, and the few incense sticks in his hand were afraid that it would be difficult to calm her old man's anger.
The old woman squinted her eyes and said, "Kneel down!"
"Yes, if you don't even worship, what kind of pleading!" the villagers discussed.
Xu Xian looked around, worshipping God and worshiping God, worship is indispensable, everyone inside and outside the temple looked at him with fierce eyes, someone had already let the futon out in front of him, and he could only smile bitterly: Don't be so serious about this little girl, she will abandon you at any time.
Ao Li also got up proudly at the time, and pointed at Xu Xian arrogantly: "Hehe, don't kneel down for me soon!"
Others probably have a hard time understanding "kneel for me" and really "kneel for me".
Xu Xian smiled and said to Ao Li: "People didn't just ask me to kneel, but there were two futons that came out!"
Ao Li said proudly: "I don't kneel!"
Seeing that there was another dispute, a shout suddenly came from outside the temple: "Oh no, Fugui was arrested by the official!"
"What!" a peasant woman in the temple hurriedly stood up and ran out.
The people in the temple also hugged and followed, Xu Xian and Ao Li came to the outside of the temple with the flow of people, not far from the front of the village, and saw a few young and strong peasants sent a few young and strong peasants, and then ran out The peasant woman was pulling one of them.
The peasant man was about forty years old, with a simple face, and was persuading the peasant woman to go back, when he suddenly saw Xu Xian in the crowd and shouted loudly: "Xu Guanren, Xu Guanren!"
The crowd parted on both sides, allowing Xu Xian to step forward, and said strangely: "Do you recognize me?" Before he could say anything, the officials also saluted him: "Xu Guanren!" He knew that he was a celebrity in Hangzhou, and there were many people who could call his name.
Nongdao: "Xu Guanren, you have forgotten me, in front of the Xuanji Temple, you saved my whole family's life." ”
It took a lot of thought to think about this, but fortunately, Xu Xian now has an extraordinary memory, and he remembered that when he and Pan Yu went to Xuanji Temple to ask for the time of the first snow, there were a few people waiting in front of the door, including this farmer who had a strange disease. Later, Xu Xian guessed that he had obtained an ice cicada carved from an ore with radiation, and later Pan Yu bought the ice cicada, and after coating it, it was transferred to Xu Xian, and Xu Xian still collects it.
"It's you, what did you do?"
"Xu Guanren, he led a few people to destroy other people's tombs, and was sued by others to the yamen. ”
Xu Xian said: "Destroying the tomb, is it a tomb robbery?"
The farmer stiffened his neck and shouted loudly: "Xu Guanren, we are not robbing the tomb, we are begging for rain to fight drought, it has not rained for so long, the tomb soil of Liu Lao'er in the neighboring village is still wet, this is not what it is to become a drought, as long as it is dug out and burned, it will rain!"
"Didn't I say it, it's not raining, just beg the Dragon Lord more, you have to fight some kind of drought and provoke such a disaster!" said the old woman in the Dragon King Temple.
Xu Xian was speechless, this is really a feudal superstitious showdown! But instead of digging people's ancestral graves, it is better to ask the little girl around her to be more reliable.
The so-called "fighting drought" is also known as "planing drought", Xu Xian knows a little bit about it, the drought is a monster that caused drought in ancient legends, and there is a way to "fight the drought" and "the drought fish comes out, and the red land is thousands of miles." There were also verses in the "Book of Songs" such as "drought is cruelty, such as burning".
Xu Xian guessed that there might really be such a demon god in ancient times, but today's so-called "drought fish" has long been different from the original meaning, and has become a kind of zombie, which is changed by the dead people within a hundred days after death, and the corpses of the dead people who have become drought fish do not rot, and the graves do not have grass and trees and ooze water stains. Only when it is dug up from the grave and burned will it rain.
These are the two great tricks of the ancients to deal with drought, cutting the drought and carrying the dragon king.
The peasant begged for Ken and said, "Xu Guanren, please save us!" Behind him, several arrested fellow villagers also followed him, and no one wanted to go to the yamen.
Xu Xian asked the officials, "Have you ever exposed the corpse?" If you really dig up people's corpses, there is no way.
When the official saw Xu Xian asking, he didn't dare to be careless, "Xu Guanren, he was held down as soon as he moved the ground." ”
Xu Xian said: "Since the corpse has not been exposed, they are also begging for rain, so let's deal with it lightly!"
The official is also interesting, "Since you said so." In fact, of course, this kind of case cannot be treated as a tomb robbery, and tomb robbers are all capital crimes if they are caught. And these peasants who fought drought were caught in the yamen, and they were also beaten with a board.
The villagers were very grateful, and Xu Xian also instructed them not to fight any more droughts, so as not to sue the yamen again.
"It's always not raining, so what's the good thing, if it goes on like this!" the villagers were all worried.
Xu Xian could only say: "Just worship the Dragon King well." ”
"It is worthy of being a scholar who has won the champion and become a great official, what he says is insightful!" Wu Zhu exclaimed loudly.
Xu Xian tugged at the corners of his mouth, not knowing what to say, and looked up at the clear blue sky: "Don't worry, it will rain soon!" Only he could see that a white dragon shadow swam across the sky.
