It's late at night.
Yi Bai stepped on the clouds and mist, standing high in the sky. He looked far below at Gujing County in the mountains.
He breathed out into clouds, causing dark clouds to gather around him.
He was also seen spitting out dragon balls.
The milky-white dragon ball circled several times in mid-air, spitting out a large amount of demon power.
The dragon ball's circling caused heavy rain to fall.
Yi Bai even used the technique of praying for rain to encourage the rain.
Suddenly, it rained heavily and the wind howled.
When Yi Bai saw the heavy rain falling, he looked down.
What a sight.
It was really magical to see the heavy rain falling and disappearing in mid-air.
"this……"
Yi Bai was surprised.
Where have I seen such a scene?
But he reacted quickly, opened his eyes, and looked down again.
Directly south of Gujing County, a large mountain was shining with light.
The rays of light pushed out all the rainwater, preventing it from reaching Gujing County.
But the rainwater did not disappear, but was pushed out of Gujing County.
This familiar feeling.
The more Yi Bai looked at it, the more he felt that the mountain was very familiar.
But after he found out the reason for the disappearance of the rain, he didn't stay for long. He took back the dragon ball, pressed it down on the cloud head, and entered the mountain.
Yi Bai landed.
Not far away, the river god and the three lands quickly surrounded him.
"How is it? Yuan Chen, can you find the reason?"
asked the river god.
"I found it."
Yi Bai nodded and turned his gaze to the familiar mountain.
He pointed to the mountain and asked the three people about the land, saying, "You three, where does this mountain come from?"
Faced with the inquiries from Yi Bai and Yuan Chen, the three landowners did not dare to hide anything.
"This mountain has a long history. I can't say its origin. It existed before Gujing County was founded."
The three lands all have this meaning, almost inseparable from each other.
"Then what has happened to this mountain in the past ten years?"
Yi Bai asked again.
"Nearly ten years?"
The three landowners were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they started talking, as if they were communicating about the changes in this mountain in the past ten years.
"Going back to Yuanchen, there has been only one change in this mountain in the past ten years. That was about eight or nine years ago. The ancient Jie River on the back of this mountain once had a flood, but it was blocked by this mountain and never affected the county. It seems that Since that flood, there has been no rain in Gujing County."
Someone walked out and said this.
"There was a flood in the ancient Jie River? What is the origin of this river? Is there a river god?"
Yi Bai asked with a frown.
"Yuanchen, the ancient Jie River is just a medium-sized river, and there is no river god. However, this river is connected to the waterway of Dongjie County. From this river, you can take a boat into Dongjie County. It is a good waterway."
River God stood up and said.
"Connected to Dongjie County, eight or nine years ago."
When Yi Bai heard this, he looked at the mountain next to him, and his face darkened.
He finally recognized why this mountain looked so familiar.
Isn't this the feeling I had when I first saw the 'Jielong Mountain'?
Even the look of sharing the water is so familiar.
When he walked into the water, the last step of the dragon mountain actually stopped him, so the Taoist priest took action and cut the dragon mountain with his sword and let him into the water.
With that sword blow, Jielong Mountain collapsed, and most of the rocks flowed into the sea with his flood, and a small part was probably gone to other places.
'Eight or nine years ago, when I was on a water trip, I heard a Taoist from Dian say that the reason why Jielong Mountain can divert water is because there is a little bit of soil in the mountain. According to legend, Dayu used the soil to control floods. That bit of soil might drift around in the water and fall into this mountain. '
Yi Bai already understood.
His heart sank. He had never thought that this matter was actually related to him, and it was directly related.
He had tried his best to restrain his anger, but it still affected Dongjie County and caused trouble to the entire Dongjie County. Fortunately, the disaster was not serious.
But he really didn't expect that even a county in Chu County next to Dongjie County would be affected by the disaster.
The drought is such that it is necessary to enshrine boys and girls to monsters so that they can protect them.
This has nothing to do with him.
"What's wrong? Yuan Chen, I look at you and you don't look good."
asked the river god.
"I feel ashamed to say that I have nothing to do with this matter."
Yi Bai shook his head and said so.
"How does this matter have anything to do with Yuan Chen? Yuan Chen shouldn't make fun of him."
The river god didn't believe it.
Yi Bai had no intention of hiding anything. He told everything that happened when he ran into the water.
"This is what happened. Because I didn't pay attention when I was walking through the water and the mountains, the soil fell here, causing drought here, killing and injuring many boys and girls, and implicating countless villagers. The crime is all my fault. , when I return to heaven, I will confess all my sins."
Yi Bai felt deeply ashamed and had no face to face him. He bowed deeply in the direction of Gujing County.
"This crime does not lie with Yuan Chen!"
The river god shook his head.
"The fault does not lie with Yuan Chen."
Three lands are also a relief.
Yi Bai said nothing. He looked towards the mountain in front of him.
"What is the name of this mountain?"
Yi Bai asked.
"Back to Yuan Chen, the name of this mountain is Zhengshan Mountain!"
There is land to answer.
Yi Bai heard the words and stopped talking. He looked at Zhengshan and thought about how to deal with the matter.
He subconsciously wanted to break this mountain.
But as soon as he made this statement, he was stopped by a land man.
"You can't do it, you can't do it! Yuanchen, if the Zhengshan Mountain in front of Gujing County is broken, the Gujie River behind it will collect water and cause disasters. Once it rains after that, Gujing County will be affected by disasters."
Land Busy said.
When Yi Bai heard this, he felt a headache.
In this way, he really can't do this, otherwise he can't break a mountain and move a river.
But something like this may affect the whole body.
If the river is moved, other traps may appear.
Inappropriate, inappropriate.
It's best to find a way to take out the soil.
Is there any way to remove the soil?
Yi Bai couldn't think of it.
He planned to ask for help.
The person he turned to for help was naturally the elder of his clan, Old Dragon Lord.
As for God, he will not go to heaven easily unless absolutely necessary.
After all, a trip to heaven would probably take a lot of time in the human world.
But before he left.
Yi Bai needs to find this monster and solve this matter.
"Land, do you know where the monster that keeps asking for boys and girls lives?"
Yi Bai looked at the three lands.
"Yuan Chen, I know that the demon often practices in the hanging mountains a hundred miles to the west, but I don't know where he is."
Youtu said.
"Xuanshan? I already know. I will definitely take action to resolve this matter, and the three landowners can return to their duties."
Yi Bai said so.
The three landmen naturally accepted the order, bowed their hands, and disappeared.
Yi Bai turned back to the River God and asked him to leave first, leaving the matter to him to resolve.
The river god did not dare to disobey and obeyed the order and left.
Seeing this, Yi Bai looked towards the west.
He did not forget what the land said, a hundred miles to the west is Xuanshan.
Yi Bai spit out the pearl, and in the blink of an eye, he took off towards the hanging mountain.
…
Not long after.
Yi Bai has arrived in the hanging mountain.
Entering Xuanshan Mountain, it was already the third watch of the night, and you couldn't see your fingers in the mountain.
However, this did not have any impact on Yi Bai.
He strode into the mountains.
Even after walking for a long time, I couldn't find any great demon's aura.
Yi Bai decisively used the art of exorcising gods.
"God of the Earth and Mountains, come see me quickly!"
Yi Bai shouted loudly.
A ray of white light was seen floating from a distance, falling in front of Yi Bai, and turned into a human form, but it was an old woman.
"Xuanshan Mountain God, pay your respects to Yuan Chen!"
The old woman was very polite and meticulous.
"The mountain god is polite. I am here because of a monster. I heard that there is a monster in this mountain. Every year, it goes to Gujing County, a hundred miles away, and asks for boys and girls. I wonder if the mountain god knows what this monster is. , where is it now?"
Yi Bai asked aloud.
"Ah? Yuan Chen is here for that monster?"
The old woman seemed surprised.
"What's going on? This demon has an old relationship with the mountain god?"
Seeing the appearance of the mountain god, Yi Bai had some guesses.
The mountain god hurriedly waved his hand. Seeing that Yi Bai had misunderstood, he explained and said: "That's not the case, that's not the case! It's just some friendship. This demon is the mysterious cat who became a spirit. His name is Wuyun Daxian. He is very famous in Ping County at the foot of the mountain. , Yuan Chen must not misunderstand. In fact, Wuyun Immortal asked for boys and girls not to use them for food, but because there were mostly lonely old people in Ping County. Because there were many wars in the world, Chu County changed hands several times, and most of the strong men went to the battlefield, resulting in Ping County. Most of the people in the county are elderly.”
"The Great Immortal Wuyun thought that the old man was helpless, so he asked for boys and girls and gave them to the lonely old man to raise. Moreover, the little god had a conversation with the Great Immortal Wuyun. The Great Immortal Wuyun knew very well that if the villagers of Gujing County were Bai Bang, Over time, trouble will inevitably arise and enemies will accumulate, so I put forward the conditions."
"I never thought that this matter would alarm Yuan Chen!"
The mountain god bowed for a long time and then made a grand salute.
"Is there such a thing?"
Yi Bai was amazed.
Yi Xuan Cat, that is, the black cat became a spirit and did so many good things.
Moreover, the purpose of asking for boys and girls is not to eat people for cultivation, but to accompany the lonely old people, and also to plan for the future of the county.
And he also knows the principle of "prosperity of rice and kindness of rice and hatred of rice", and it is not in vain to help Gujing County to spread rain.
From this point of view, this mysterious cat is quite smart and very capable.
Gujing County is arid because of the soil, and Xuanmao can provide rain in front of the mountain for several years, which shows its ability.
but……
He would not listen to the mountain god's words.
He still needs to go see him in person.
"Mountain God, Ping County is at the foot of the mountain?"
Yi Bai looked at the mountain god and asked.
"If Yuan Chen wants to go to Ping County, I can lead the way for Yuan Chen!"
The mountain god said hurriedly.
"Then there is the God of Mountain Lao."
Yi Bai readily agreed.
The mountain god said "dare not" twice, walked to the front, and led Yi Bai down the mountain.
…
soon.
The mountain god took Yi Bai to the foot of the mountain. From here, he could already see the outline of a county town.
"Yuan Chen, may I take you to the county seat?"
The mountain god asked respectfully.
"No need, no need! Just go back."
Yi Bai waved his hand to ask the mountain god to retreat. He planned to hide himself and enter the county for a look.
The mountain god nodded, bowed politely, and then retreated.
Seeing this, Yi Bai said "change" and turned into an old man. His aura also changed, half white and half purple, like a dying man.
This is the terrifying nature of Yibai's prosthetic technique.
Once it changes, it is difficult to tell the difference between ghosts and gods.
This is the only real skill that Yi Bai knows!
Yi Baizuo, an old man, walked into the county town below.
In the county town down here, the city gate was not closed. I don't know if the soldiers were slack or for other reasons, but Yi Bai walked in easily.
And under the darkness, there was not even a watchman.
Another look.
Hoo ho ho.
On the street, there were many white silk hangings, which were blowing in the wind and looked very breathtaking.
When Yi Bai saw this, he was silent for a while.
Hanging a white silk ribbon represents a funeral in the family.
The current situation in the world can only be a matter of humane fighting for the dragon. Deaths due to the fighting between the two armies are just too terrible in this county. Almost every household is hung with white silk ribbons.
This is enough to show how cruel the war is.
Yi Bai sighed in his heart and walked forward.
Not even two steps away.
Suddenly I felt a gust of evil wind blowing
Yi Bai's heart was shocked, and he saw the origin of this demonic wind. It was a great demon in disguise.
He knew that this was probably the Dark Cloud Immortal.
He left no trace and wanted to see what this black cat demon did.
Yi Bai let the evil wind blow, but found that the evil wind was lingering behind him, supporting him, as if he was worried about him falling, but also seemed to help him walk.
Yi Bai also knew that he had transformed into an octogenarian and had difficulty walking, but he was still secretly surprised that this mysterious cat seemed to have a good temperament.
He walked for a while and suddenly saw bright lights not far away.
This caught his attention.
Yi Bai simply went over there.
There is a demon behind to help.
He walks like flying.
Not far away, there were dozens of old men and women, holding candles, queuing up in an orderly manner. At the front of the line, there was a large bucket with steaming porridge and rice.
"Old sir, what are you doing here?"
Yi Bai walked forward and asked.
He didn't quite understand why these old men and women gathered here in the middle of the night.
Could it be giving out porridge?
Why do you choose to serve rice porridge in the middle of the night?
When asked by Yi Bai, he was an old man and turned around to look at him.
The old man looked Yi Bai up and down for a while, then cursed: "What old man? You look twenty years older than me, why call me old man?"
Yi Bai was stunned by this unexpected curse.
"You guy, how can you still have such a bad temper when you are old? Old sir, don't pay attention to him. We are here where Wuyun Daxian is giving out porridge. If you want to drink a bowl, you have to queue up. You are so old, so you can go ahead. Come on, no need to queue.”
An old man stood up next to him and said kindly.
"Wu Yun Daxian gives porridge? Is it possible that Wu Yun Daxian often gives porridge?"
Yi Bai ignored the old man's scolding just now and asked.
"Of course, how come the old gentleman doesn't even know this? The Great Immortal Wuyun will cast a spell every ten days and nights, leaving a large bucket with porridge and water here, and we can get it ourselves. Alas, the Great Immortal Wuyun also knows that we are lonely and helpless. The fields that are plowed all year round are still not enough for food, so they do this, and they are really considerate of us."
The old man next to him shook his head and sighed.
"That's it, but why choose night time? Wouldn't it be better to choose the white room?"
Yi Bai asked again.
"If this news spreads in Baijian, the old man would think that if people from the surrounding counties come over, will it be our turn for old bones like us to have a bite?"
the old man replied.
When Yi Bai heard this, he had a rough idea in his mind before he even spoke...
