The stars guarded the heart, and the stars warned, and Gong Mengbi's heart was cast into a shadow.
If it were anything else, it might not leave a very deep impression on him, but if he wanted to understand the virtues of Canglong, he couldn't help but care about the changes in the stars.
Although the horoscope of Yinghuo Shouxin did not last long, Gong Mengbi already had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he didn't know where the premonition was.
But soon he had his answer.
After the spring season, there is no more rain.
Even in the south of the Yangtze River, even if it has a rich water system, it cannot escape the misfortune of God.
Small rivers and streams have stopped flowing, ponds have dried up, the land has cracked, and crops are dying.
People are looking forward to rain every day, and they are offering sacrifices to gods in various places to pray for rain.
However, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Even the gods cannot create things out of thin air when water vapor is scarce.
Those places guarded by great gods may receive the light of the gods and get sporadic rain.
But gods who can do this are not available everywhere.
Gong Mengbi is based in Wuning, and many rivers in Wuning County are now managed by Yu Shiniang.
There is no need to wait for him to visit, and there is no need to wait for him to visit.
Yu Shiniang often takes Wang Xiang to travel with clouds and spread rain, but their Taoism is not as deep as Gong Mengbi's, so what they can do is limited.
The county magistrate prayed for rain many times, mostly to worship the City God, the Dragon King, or the filial piety wife E Nu. Qu Chenghuang did not have such ability, so he had to turn to Shi Yi Niang for help.
Yu Shiniang cannot let go of the reputation of the Dragon King and Mrs. Lingxiao. Most of them are efficacious, but most of them can only take advantage of some light rain in the second half of the night to prevent the crops from completely withering.
When Gong Mengbi returns to Wuning County to teach every month, the five ghosts and gods will report these things to him.
Gong Mengbi was satisfied enough. He had learned the method of making clouds and rain, and he understood that it was difficult to do things at this time.
There is not enough water vapor, and taking away the water vapor from other places is tantamount to killing one's life.
Only by relying on the water system can sporadic rain fall.
Compared to other places, even compared to Jinhua County, Wu Ning has done well.
It also rains in Jinhua, and when it rains there is a big festival. Gathering the people, offering incense to the gods, urging and inviting people, singing and dancing, and sinking treasures into the river, they can get a little moisture from the Wujiang Water God and a light rain for half a day.
Every big sacrifice is an opportunity to collect people's fat and people's anointing.
You have to pay an incense tax when offering incense to the gods, and you have to bring offerings to worship the Dragon King. If you don't pay the price, it won't rain.
The sorcerer only said that some people were dishonest and the Dragon King was displeased and refused to rain, so he wanted to confiscate the homes of those who refused to pay tribute or offer incense, and imprison them in front of the Dragon King's temple to kowtow to make amends.
Even though everyone talks about praying for rain, as long as there is no rain for a few days and the seedlings die, you have to grit your teeth and pray for rain with tears in your eyes.
Jinhua Governor Zhang lost his treasury silver last year, and this year he finally found an opportunity to refill his treasury bit by bit.
Among them were offerings from wealthy merchants, as well as plundered people's fat and anointing.
Gong Mengbi listened to Hu Zi's chat, talking about this prefect, this Wujiang Dragon God, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Huangfu Yuliu followed Gong Mengbi and said: "Natural and man-made disasters are really pitiful. All living beings are suffering from fire and water, and we don't know when they will end."
When will it end? Gong Mengbi couldn't answer either.
The purpose of cultivating immortals is to escape from the suffering of all living beings, and even to escape from the bondage and suffering of the body.
But when I look back at all these living beings, I wonder how many of them still remember that they themselves were struggling among them and found it difficult to escape.
It's rare for Huangfu Yuliu, a member of the noble family, to still have some compassion for others in his heart.
It's a pity that Gong Mengbi can't save the misery in the world. He could neither remove the governor nor kill the Dragon King of Wujiang. He could only do what he could where he could.
Others can only be kept out of sight.
But at night, when Chen Xi flew crookedly from Tangxi, flapping his wings, Gong Mengbi could no longer sit idly by.
The red-feathered snake's scales cracked and blood flowed profusely. The feathers on its left wing were broken many times. It hit the Lanyin Temple with its head and made a loud noise.
Gong Mengbi heard the commotion and came out, and the fox who witnessed it reported: "A dragon with wings fell in front of the temple."
When he heard this, he was shocked. As expected, it was Chen Xi who was injured all over.
One of the two ruby-like horns on the red-feathered snake's head was broken. Seeing Gong Mengbi, he finally felt relieved and passed out completely.
Gong Mengbi hurriedly checked his injuries and found that a small amount of magic power was wandering around in his body like a golden needle, and there were injuries both inside and outside.
External injuries are not fatal, but internal injuries are fatal.
Gong Mengbi put a hand on the red-feathered snake to help him control the magic power in his body, and the huge dragon-like snake body turned into a young man.
Gong Mengbi asked a few foxes to carry him to the temple. He looked around and saw no pursuers, so he cleared the traces on the ground and returned to the room to treat Chen Xi.
Xiaoqian wiped the blood off his body, twisted the sweat towel and said, "Why is it hurt so badly?"
Gong Mengbi said: "We won't know until he wakes up."
This is not the first time Chen Xi has come to Lanyin Mountain. Xiaoqian and Zhu Zhengxin both know him.
Huangfu Yuliu took a look at it and without asking any questions, he took out a pill from his pocket and said, "This is rhubarb pill. It can heal wounds. I wonder if I can use it."
Jiao Na also followed and said, "I have some medical skills and can help."
Gong Mengbi thanked them and said, "I have already stabilized his injuries, and I will tell you the rest after he wakes up."
Yuliu and Jiao Na then retreated.
Xiaoqian stayed behind to look after Chen Xi, while Gong Mengbi lit the incense burner, using the smoke to nourish his spiritual spirit and help him restore his mana.
When Chen Xi woke up, it was already late at night.
As soon as Xiaoqian came to report, Gong Mengbi came immediately.
When Chen Xi saw him, she forced a forced smile and said, "I caused a lot of trouble, but I'm here to hurt you."
Gong Mengbi glanced at him and said, "When you say this, you don't regard me as a friend."
Seeing that Chen Xi was silent, Gong Mengbi said: "I'm just a fifth-level cultivator, so you can't do anything to me."
Chen Xi was startled and said, "Have you seen him?"
Gong Mengbi said: "No, it was the alien magic left in you that told me. Tell me, how did you get into trouble with him?"
Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Chen Xi sighed and said, "It's the Water God of Wujiang River."
Gong Mengbi asked curiously: "Why would the Wujiang Water God take action against you?"
Chen Xi said: "It won't rain, and you know it. Now that I'm the water god of Tangxi River, I'm a good believer in offering sacrifices, so I naturally have to do my best."
"But Tangxi originates from the Wujiang River, and the water veins are controlled by the Wujiang Water God. I rained rain privately without reporting it to the Wujiang Water God, so he sent troops to fight against it."
"I was no match for him. I was hit by one of his spells and had no choice but to run away in a panic and almost lost my life in Tangxi."
