"Ah?! This... In this day and age, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so thin. Is there really such a powerful monster in the world?"
I was very surprised after hearing what Lao Cao said.
Master has said that it is clearly recorded in various classics. Since the pre-Qin era, the concentration and quality of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth have been rapidly weakening.
Especially in the past few decades, the rate of decay of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has reached an exaggerated level!
The direct consequence is that the difficulty of practice has increased for both humans and other living beings.
Lao Cao looked at my shocked expression and explained with a helpless smile.
"Generally speaking, even if a snake can open up spiritual wisdom and embark on the path of spiritual practice, if you are lucky, it will take eight hundred years to practice to the point where you can try to walk through water and turn into a dragon."
"If you are not very talented or have bad luck, it will take at least a thousand years!"
"So even though the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is severely weakened now, the giant python that can walk through water and turn into a dragon has started practicing spiritual wisdom thousands of years ago, and the accumulation is enough."
When you think about it, it does make sense!
I asked with some concern.
"Old Cao, where do you think the giant python that is about to turn into a dragon will be? In addition to the town itself, Lianghe Town has dozens of townships and hundreds of villages within its jurisdiction..."
Lao Cao spread his hands.
"How do I know? You have turbid energy and your connection with the earth is much closer than ours. Even if I have to guess, it's up to you to guess."
"What's more, this is just my personal random guess. Maybe it's not the giant python that turns into a dragon at all, but the madness of the earth's energy caused by some other reason?"
Things like the energy of the earth's veins are originally the power of the earth itself, contained in every inch of soil.
But the deeper you go underground or into the mountains, the richer it becomes!
Not to mention ordinary people, even most practitioners are unable to sense changes in the energy of the earth's veins without special means.
For example, Lao Cao, as a coffin bearer and paper master, could not feel the sudden surge and changes in the energy of the earth veins at this time. I only found out after listening to my story.
On the contrary, it is Wang Hu - because he is in a soul state, he is more sensitive to changes in all magnetic fields and energy around him than a living person.
Therefore, he can also sense the changes in the energy of the earth's veins, which confirms my statement from the side.
There was a brief silence in the coffin shop.
The heavy rain outside the house continued to pour.
No intention of weakening at all.
Water has begun to accumulate on the bluestone street outside the door!
At first glance, it seems that it can almost cover the instep and reach the ankle.
You should know that although the old street of Lianghe Town where the coffin shop is located is very old, it has a complete underground drainage system that leads directly to the river outside Hejie, and the stone slabs have a certain inclination towards the ditches on both sides.
So even if it rains heavily, there will still be no water on the streets.
Looking like this tonight, it can be seen that it is really a heavy rain that only happens once in a century.
Sudden……
A dark figure appeared outside the coffin shop!
Lao Cao, Wang Hu and I all turned our heads and looked over.
There was a shorter black figure next to him, who suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.
Woof woof woof!
"Heizi, stop screaming. It's late at night, so don't disturb the neighbors."
The black figure said in a deep voice and took two more steps forward.
So, he entered the area where the dim incandescent light at the door could shine, and showed his appearance...
"Brother Li, Heizi! Why are you here?"
I shouted in surprise.
Yes, it was Li Miao, the corpse collector, and his big black dog.
Lao Cao also stood up and waved to them with a smile.
"Brother Li, it's raining heavily outside. Come in quickly."
So one person and one dog stepped over the threshold, which was more than a foot high, and entered the house.
Li Miao took off her thick raincoat and hung it on the hook by the door.
Heizi stood at the door, twisting his body to shake the water.
Huhuhu...
Water splashed everywhere and the ground was speckled.
After Heizi shook it a few times, the hair on his body immediately became fluffy and dry again. It's shiny, like soft and smooth satin.
"Woark woof!"
It lowered its voice, barked a few times in a low voice, and then ran over with its tail wagging. He walked around me in circles, nuzzled me affectionately, and licked my hand with his tongue.
I smiled helplessly.
"Heizi, you came to me on your own initiative. I didn't go to the cabin on the riverside to find you, so I didn't prepare any meat to eat. Even if you act like a spoiled brat, you won't get any meat to eat."
Heizi seemed a little disappointed, and he made a grunting sound in his throat.
Then he suddenly looked up at Wang Hu floating in mid-air.
Wang Hu was stunned!
He quickly flew higher - his back was already touching the ceiling.
Black dogs are the most ferocious and yang-yang of dogs.
It has the function of warding off evil spirits!
Even an ordinary black dog raised in the countryside to watch the door can easily kill ordinary ghosts or walking corpses. Not to mention this kind of supernatural black dog specially raised by corpse collectors.
Even if a ferocious ghost or corpse is bitten by a black man, he will still suffer serious injuries!
Although Wang Hu has embarked on the path of ghost cultivation and has the support of Lao Cao, he is still frightened when facing Heizi. I'm afraid that the big black dog will suddenly go crazy and treat him as food...
I warned him earnestly.
"Heizi! This is an employee of the coffin shop and our partner. You have to call me uncle. You can't have any bad thoughts."
"Woof woof."
Heizi barked twice and nodded its huge head.
I looked up at Wang Hu on the ceiling and smiled.
"Uncle Tiger, don't worry, come down. Heizi is very sensible and won't bite people... Oh no, he will bite ghosts."
Wang Hu gave us a smile that was uglier than crying, and said weakly.
"I was a little afraid of dogs when I was alive, especially big black dogs like this. When I die and become a ghost, I'm even more afraid. The black dog raised by Master Li is so powerful and strong that even if I know it has no malicious intentions, I still feel a little scared. . It’s better to just float on the roof and be safe.”
Seeing how timid he looked, we couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, Lao Cao asked.
"Brother Li, why did you come to our coffin shop in the heavy rain? Is there something important?"
Li Miao seemed a little helpless.
"Brother Cao, can't you guess it? With such a heavy rain, the entire river beach is already a vast ocean! Although my cabin is relatively high in that area, it has been submerged by the overflowing river water. .”
"I watched for a while on the way here. The river water has already risen to the pass in the north of the town. If the rain doesn't stop, the flood will reach the pass in the north of the town in two hours at most. The entire Lianghe Town and Shangshan The river flats, plains and valleys downstream will all be submerged in water!”
After hearing his words, everyone felt a little heavy.
I thought of what Yao Nan's mother said...Looking at the time now, it's already 11:45. I guess she will have to rush to attend the disaster relief meeting organized by the county soon, right?
I don’t know how much damage this sudden heavy rain will eventually cause.
How many ordinary people will be displaced?
In the face of the mighty power of nature, all practitioners, ghosts and monsters are as small as ants and not worth mentioning!
I sighed inwardly.
At this moment, another figure suddenly appeared outside the door. And accompanied by a familiar voice, shouted loudly.
"Hey! Are you all still at home? Haven't you received any news? Why don't you go to Longduo Mountain and have a look... I heard that there are traces of the giant python, and it may take advantage of this weather to turn into a dragon. La."
