Foreign Affairs Hall.
Zhou Yi put up a sign at the door.
Invite eight fellow sect members to surrender to the Luoshui snake demon. The deadline is three months and the reward is five thousand spirit stones. They are required to practice in the foundation building period and obey the instructions.
Hui, knows the way of formation.
The time was short, the pay was high, and it was safe and risk-free. Soon several real people came forward to inquire.
Zhou Yi took out a formation flag and asked them to try to move it, and two people were quickly selected to be qualified.
There are many talents in the Danding Sect, and after only half a day, Zhou Yi found eight foundation-building masters who were well versed in formations.
After making the oath of inner demons, Zhou Yi each issued a formation flag and said: "This formation is called the Eight-Door Golden Lock, which is enough to trap the fake alchemy monks. The snake demon fell into it, and no matter how sophisticated the escape skills are, it cannot escape. "
"Junior Brother Zhu, that snake demon is not very strong. The difficult thing is to introduce it into the formation."
A fellow disciple asked: "The Luoshui winds for three to four thousand miles. The snake demon is wandering around and is good at hiding. It is estimated that not even a trace can be found in three months."
"A few days ago, I heard from Taoist friends who came back from Qingguo that there was a drought in Tanzhou and the red land was thousands of miles away."
Zhou Yi said: "The Luo River flows through Tanzhou. During the drought season, river god sacrifices will inevitably be held. It is a good opportunity to kill the snake demon." The eight fellow disciples suddenly realized that it made sense, but they did not expect victory before they expected defeat.
"Junior Brother Zhu, for three months, if you can't find the Snake Demon Spirit Stone, you won't be short.
"That's natural."
Zhou Yi learned that no one had completed the snake demon mission, so he started planning for today.
First, he spent more than a year refining the formation flag, checked the county annals along the Luoshui River, collected various rumors after the appearance of the river god, and waited for another three years of drought.
The time has come to slay the monster!
Daqing.
The thirty-second year of Taihe.
There is a severe drought in Tanzhou, and victims are everywhere.
The emperor sent Zhao Heng, the imperial censor, to provide relief and dig wells and canals, which was very effective.
Tanzhou.
Nine escaping lights flew across the sky, and when they approached Luoshui, they each cast their concealment spells.
Zhou Yi said: "The snake demon can escape several pursuits. There must be spies among the mortals on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. If they find several escaping lights passing by in the sky, they will definitely report it to the snake demon!"
A fellow surnamed He asked: "Duan Luoshui in Tanzhou is hundreds of miles away at least. How can Junior Brother Zhu determine where the snake demon appears?" Zhou Yi pointed downward.
"Look at them."
ground.
A group of ragged, skinny and weak people were digging canals under the supervision of officials.
In years of severe drought, the water level in Luoshui dropped drastically, and the original ditch failed and had to be deepened and lengthened.
Censor Zhao Heng was about fifty or sixty years old and had a clear face. He led the officials to inspect the progress of canal digging.
"The only way to fight drought is to distribute food to the people to survive, strictly guard against corruption among officials, and organize the people to dig canals and wells! You who live on the emperor's salary must work together to fight the drought and provide disaster relief.
He seemed to dig a few times during his speech, which attracted many officials to imitate him and praise Yushi Zhao for sharing the sufferings of the people.
Among them, there were officials who were good at poetry. They wrote several flattering poems in succession and ordered people to carve a monument and set it up on the bank of Luoshui River for future generations to admire.
Heaven.
Zhou Yi and others hid in the clouds, looking down at what the officials on the ground were doing, and their fellow disciples started talking about it.
"This length of ditch can be used to divert water even after three to five months of digging. It was autumn and winter at that time, so how could there be any need for irrigation?" "Not only that, many wells were drilled along the way, but no water came out of any of them. Officials are still urging us to dig wells!"
"This man looks like an upright official. Why is he wasting so much manpower and material resources?"
Senior Brother He said quietly: "Aren't they always providing disaster relief?"
"Senior Brother He sees clearly!'
Zhou Yi nodded and said: "Officials must resist disasters, so digging wells and canals cannot stop. No matter whether the people are saved or not, as long as they are still resisting disasters, they are capable ministers and officials of the imperial court!"
While speaking, he waved his hand to activate the sword light, which landed in a dry well.
The flying sword rotated and penetrated more than twenty feet of soil, pierced the rock, and underground water gushes out.
The people who were digging wells and canals nearby could not help but cheer when they saw streams of clear water emerging from the wells.
"Out of the water! Out of the water!"
'Such sweet water!'
"It must be the blessing of the River God, Ergouzi, how dare you scold the River God for not raining?'
"I don't dare anymore, I'm going to offer incense to the River God!"
The water coming out of the dry well is like a miracle. There is a legend about the river god along the Luoshui River. The people naturally believe that the river god is blessing them.
Heaven.
Senior Brother He pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "Junior Brother Zhu plans to provide disaster relief?"
"Originally I planned to find a suitable river section that was weak for disaster relief, and wait for the river god to offer sacrifices. Now it seems I have to take the initiative to create one!'
Zhou Yi said: "Mortal blood eating is no longer useful to the great demon's cultivation, either for food and drink, or to intimidate the people. If there is only one river god sacrifice on both sides of Tanzhou, the snake demon will probably show up if it can't guarantee its majesty."
"This method is wonderful."
Fellow disciples nodded in praise, the snake demon was doomed once it entered the formation.
Senior Brother He reminded: "All the wells produced water, but there was a drought in one place, which made the snake demon suspicious, and all the previous efforts were wasted." "Everything depends on people, but it depends on God!"
Zhou Yi glanced at the people on the ground: "At least the people of Tanzhou were rescued. Even if the mission failed, good deeds were accumulated."
A fellow disciple said: "This good deed is not cheap, forty thousand spirit stones are enough to replace several emperors in the Qing Kingdom.
Zhou Yi said disgustedly: "Why did I buy that thing? I can't get away with it if I work hard!"
“Fun fun!”
The classmates looked at Zhou Yi with more appreciation than the original pure transaction. It is unclear whether they were scolding him for being stupid and pedantic in his heart.
Then it divided into eight rays of escaping light and flew in all directions. When it saw a dry well, it cast a spell to penetrate the soil.
The foundation-building period is nothing in the Danding Sect. In the secular world, it is a real person who governs the country. This is probably the first time in the history of the Qing Kingdom that a foundation-building monk has come to rescue disasters.
Village along the river.
A small courtyard for civilians.
Niu Dazhu looked happy, locked the door, and came to the river god statue enshrined in the main room.
Light the incense and pinch the magic formula with your hands.
"Report to my god, in three days, the village plans to sacrifice boys and girls to you.
Niu Dazhu was a mortal who was carefully selected by the snake demon and had spiritual talent. He taught him the rudimentary method of cultivating immortals.
The sound of prayers flew along with the incense and green smoke, and merged into the body of the clay statue. The half-human, half-dragon river god gradually became more agile, and the sound came out when its mouth opened and closed.
"If you worship sincerely, this god will make it rain!"
"Congratulations to my God!"
Niu Dazhu kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, and did not get up until the incense was extinguished.
At this time, a strange voice came into Niu Dazhu's ears.
"You're still a human, right?"
Niu Dazhu subconsciously activated his magic power, but several spiritual lights flew in, sealing the meridians and Dantian.
Two figures appeared out of thin air, it was Zhou Yi and Senior Brother He.
Senior Brother He said: "Junior Brother Zhu's prediction is good. The Qi Refining monks lurking near Luoshui are indeed the minions of the snake demon."
After more than half a month of disaster relief, the drought in Tanzhou has been mostly alleviated, leaving only one generation in the Yanhe village still without water. Zhou Yi and his fellow disciples divided the area, and their spiritual consciousness swept through everyone. These monks with rough skills and shallow magic power could not hide at all.
Niu Dazhu's expression changed and he asked: "Are you the legendary immortals?'
Zhou Yi said: "You can't be called an immortal, just a monk who comes to subjugate demons."
"Demonstrate? Where are the monsters? There are only river gods in Luoshui!'
Niu Dazhu's frightened look disappeared, and instead he asked sternly: "The river god has protected the two sides of Luoshui for decades. Every time there is a severe drought, it rains to provide disaster relief, and countless lives have been saved. Except for you monks, you have never seen anyone come to cast spells!"
Zhou Yi was silent and said slowly.
"This is no reason to sacrifice boys and girls!"
