Fifteen miles south of Yuhuang Mountain, there is a city called Yanliu City.
Yanliu City is a very typical Jiangnan city, with red bricks and green tiles, plain eaves and white walls, and a small river with green willows and rippling water.
Today is the day to visit the temple in Yanliu City. The Chenghuang Temple in Yanliu City is located by the small river in the north of the city, surrounded by mountains and water, with peach and willow trees flying in the sky.
It happened to be a light rain in the morning, and pieces of mist shrouded the river, making it look particularly hazy and beautiful next to the temple.
Unlike the countries in Dongsheng Shenzhou, the Central Plains of the southern continent has always been a country of righteous faith. No matter how many dynasties have changed on this land, the virtue of righteous faith has never changed.
As people at the time said: The ancestral land of the three emperors, the hometown of Yao and Shun, the land of sages and virtues, and the land of rituals and music.
No matter men, women, old or young, rich or poor, no matter how high or low they are, they will definitely come to the City God Temple to worship on this temple day.
Fang Jianzheng was leading the thunder generals and soldiers towards Yanliu City. When they flew on the clouds to less than five miles away from Yanliu City, suddenly there was another burst of thick clouds floating in the sky.
"Huh?" Fang Jian looked up and saw that the thick clouds were getting thicker and thicker, and finally floated over Yanliu City. There was a thunderous sound and a heavy rain poured down in an instant. The entire Yanliu City was instantly shrouded in a torrential rain. middle.
The people who came to the temple immediately held up umbrellas and ran around to hide from the rain. Fang Jian found that the rain was especially heavy around the City God's Temple, and within a moment there was a gurgling stream of water on the ground.
Fang Jian turned around and asked the Lei general next to him: "Do you have the Lei Ministry almanac with you?"
When the thunder general heard this, he immediately said: "Master Hongqing, yes."
If there is a 'terrestrial calendar' in the human world, there is also a 'celestial calendar' in the sky, but each department's celestial calendar is different, mainly to facilitate the work of the gods in the department.
For example, the Celestial Almanac of the Ministry of Lei recorded the hours, sizes, quantities and purposes of 'wind', 'rain', 'thunder' and 'electricity' in the past one hundred years.
Lei Jiang took out the almanac and handed it to Fang Jian.
After Fang Jian took the almanac, he immediately turned to today's date and compared it carefully, and found that there was no rainfall today.
Fang Jian's face turned cold. If I remember correctly, it also rained in the morning, and it was light rain.
Because this is Jiangnan, Fang Jian didn't pay much attention to the light rain in the morning, but the sudden heavy rain in front of him made him realize something was wrong.
At the moment when Fang Jian handed back the almanac, a loud "bang" sound suddenly came from below, and then a high wall on the right side of the City God's Temple collapsed.
With screams and screams, in the heavy rain, more than a dozen people taking shelter under the eaves of the high wall were directly buried by the collapsed earth wall.
As the heavy rain continued to wash away, the collapsed earth walls immediately turned into mud and flowed down.
"The outer wall of the City God's Temple was stepped on and someone was buried!"
"Hurry and save people!"
"Hurry and save people!"
"Someone is buried!"
The nearby people screamed hurriedly. At this moment, everyone who was still around the Chenghuang Temple ran forward to dig up the earth to save people.
When Fang Jian saw this, he immediately turned around and said to Lei Bing behind him: "Go, save people."
The Lei soldiers were startled when they heard this and said: "Master Hongqing, we are the Lei soldiers of the Lei Department and we cannot interfere in human affairs."
Fang Jian said: "Show your true body, don't use magic power. These people suffered a sudden disaster and should not die here."
When the ten thunder soldiers heard this, they immediately accepted the order and said: "Yes."
Then I saw the ten thunder soldiers immediately manifesting their true bodies, turning into a white mist and falling down.
The people who were digging up the earth to save people suddenly saw ten tall and majestic Taoists wearing thunder robes suddenly appeared. They saw these ten Taoists stepping forward and easily lifting the huge clods of earth. , and then threw the clod aside.
In less than a moment, ten thunder soldiers dug out all the dozen or so people buried under the earth wall.
Although more than a dozen people were dug out, five of them were seriously injured, seven passed out, and only three were slightly injured and remained conscious.
"Quick, send people to the hospital immediately." A Lei soldier said to the people around him.
"Slow down, don't flip."
"Be gentle!"
The thunder soldiers directed the common people and quickly carried all the dozen people away and quickly sent them to the Yanliu City Medical Center.
At this time, an old man looked at the ten thunder soldiers and said, "Thanks to all the Taoist priests, where did you come from?"
A thunder soldier said to the old man: "Old man, please go back and take shelter from the rain. This is not a place to stay for a long time."
Just as the thunder soldier finished speaking, he heard another loud noise, and the high wall on the left side of the City God's Temple was also washed away by the rain.
However, there was no one around the Chenghuang Temple at this moment, so no one was injured this time.
The old man was soaked all over, and he frowned and said, "Such a heavy rain is rare in a hundred years, and now we are going to suffer another disaster."
At this time, a man about thirty years old ran over quickly with an umbrella, put the umbrella on the old man's head and said: "Dad, the rain is too heavy, follow me back quickly."
The old man glanced at the man, nodded, then turned around and said, "Taoist priests, please come to my house...eh?"
The old man was stunned because the ten thunder soldiers who were talking to him just now had disappeared.
"Dad, let's go quickly. I'll carry you." The man said, stuffing the umbrella into the old man's hand, then squatting down, carrying the old man on his back, and walked towards the outside of the City God's Temple.
But at this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the stone bridge on the river outside the City God's Temple had been completely submerged. The man frowned, and even his feet were knee-deep in mud.
The man looked at the small bridge submerged by the river, gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, hold on tight to me."
After that, the man walked quickly towards the small stone bridge. The moment he stepped onto the small stone bridge, suddenly a big wave hit him in the river, and the river water directly covered the man's waist.
It took a lot of effort for the man to stand still, but suddenly he felt a sway under his feet. He secretly thought something bad. It turned out that the soil on both sides of the small stone bridge under his feet had been washed away, and the small stone bridge collapsed instantly.
The man instantly fell into the river. People on the other side of the street who noticed this scene immediately ran out and tried to fish him out with long poles and small poles.
But the river has flooded the streets, and the streets are knee-deep in water, making it difficult for even adults to stand still.
At this time, the man had choked several times. Fortunately, the bottom of the river in the city was flat and there were no whirlpools or pits. The man swam out of the water desperately, holding his old father high with both hands, and shouted to the people on the bank: "Save my father."
The man yelled and swam hard against the current to the shore, but every time he got closer to the shore, the river would wash him away one meter. Soon, the man was washed away from the north of the city to the south of the city.
At this moment, there were still four or five big men following from the north of the city on the shore. They were holding bamboo poles in their hands and wanted to save the man.
At this time, the man was almost exhausted, but he still insisted on lifting his old father out of the river.
The old man kept shouting: "Child, leave me alone and go ashore by yourself."
But the man said nothing and still held his old father in his arms and swam toward the shore.
But all this is undoubtedly in vain, the rough river water can turn the man's efforts into nothingness with just one wave.
But at this moment, the man suddenly saw a wooden plank bridge in front of him. Because the terrain was higher, it was not completely submerged by the water.
The man was overjoyed and immediately followed the current. As he approached the wooden plank bridge, he threw the old man onto the wooden plank bridge. However, he himself lost the chance to save himself. A wave came and the man was instantly involved. The river is low.
The big men who followed from the north of the city rushed to the wooden bridge and rescued the old man, but the man could no longer be seen.
...
Outside Yanliu City, on the grass beside Xiaoliu River, the man gradually woke up after spitting out a few mouthfuls of river water.
He felt that his body was very warm, as warm as if he was basking in the sun.
He suddenly woke up and found himself lying on the lawn beside the Xiaoliu River outside the city.
The man stretched out his hand and touched it. The clothes were dry and the grass was dry. However, the heavy rain was still falling from the sky, but not a drop fell within five feet of him.
"What's your name?" A strange and clear voice came from one side. The man was startled and quickly turned his head to look.
But he saw a young man wearing a jade-colored Taoist robe with a unicorn pattern embroidered on it looking at him.
Behind the young man, there were eleven majestic Taoists wearing thunder robes.
The man was stunned for a moment and then suddenly realized what he was doing. He quickly stood up and said, "My name is Dong Yong. Did you Taoist priests save me?"
Dong Yong found that when the young man heard his name, his expression froze slightly, and then he nodded to him lightly, and then said two words to him lightly:
"good!"
Then, the young man turned around and led the eleven Taoists away. Their figures soon disappeared in the pouring rain.
'Click'
There was an unusual sound under Dong Yong's feet. He suddenly came back to his senses and looked down. It turned out to be an umbrella.
'Crash'
The moment the umbrella appeared, the heavy rain suddenly hit Dong Yong. Dong Yong didn't have time to think too much, he quickly picked up and opened the umbrella and started looking for shelter from the rain.
After rescuing Dong Yong, Fang Jian took the Lei generals and Lei soldiers to the sky above the Yanliu City City God Temple again.
At this time, the outer walls around the City God's Temple in Yanliu City had been completely washed away, leaving only the main hall of the City God's Temple alone and soaking in the water.
"There is something wrong with this heavy rain." Fang Jian said, "Check it out."
General Lei asked: "Master Hongqing, what about the person we want to arrest?"
Fang Jian thought for a while and said, "I will go find that person myself. You can find out the origin of this rain."
Having said this, Fang Jian looked up at the sky and found that the rain had no intention of stopping.
"Lawless!"
Fang Jian's tone was cold, even with a hint of anger.
Hearing the coldness and anger in Fang Jian's tone, Lei Jiang's heart skipped a beat and immediately said, "Don't worry, Lord Hongqing, I will definitely investigate this matter clearly."
"Ask him again." Fang Jian raised his finger and pointed to the City God's Temple below and said, "The heavy rain hit his City God's Temple. He must know the inside story."
"Follow the order." Lei Jiang immediately responded with clasped fists.
Then Fang Jian handed over the matter to Lei General, and he continued to fly in the direction of the Seven Fairies' Qi Machine on the clouds.
