The common people beg for rain
While everyone was talking about the drought, and thanking Leng Bi for his kindness to the people, an old man walked slowly outside the valley, with a majestic appearance.
The old ministers and generals bowed their heads and saluted.
This old man has a tall crown, long eyebrows and white hair. He has a clear face and a sharp and narrow eye slit. At first glance, he looks like a man who has been in a high position for a long time and is very dignified.
Everyone paid tribute:
"I've seen the Grand Master!"
The great imperial master walked up to Leng Bi, his sharp eyes turned to loving kindness, and after looking at him carefully, he bent down and bowed:
"I have met His Highness!"
Although the old man's status was clearly superior to that of others, he still had to bow his head in front of Leng Bi.
Leng Bixu gave him a hand. He was not at all the humble and elegant person he was when he went up Qingshan Mountain. His expression was reserved, his actions were noble, and he had the attitude of a superior.
He looked down at Liang Xi's lowered head covered with white hair, and spoke slowly and calmly:
"The Grand Master is exempt from the courtesy. It's been a long time since I last saw him, and the Grand Master is becoming more and more like a fairy."
The Grand Master straightened up and said with a smile:
"Your Highness is the real one among the immortals! Mortals are short-lived, while the immortals' sun and moon are long. Your Highness has worshiped under the immortals, and still misses the people of his homeland. He is willing to abandon the method of immortality and eliminate harm for the people. He is truly the chosen king!"
Yougao frowned when he heard this.
The Great Imperial Master turned around and faced outside the valley, with a look of compassion on his face:
"Today's monarch is unjust, so he has warned of natural disasters. The people have been suffering from disasters for many days, and they are starving for thousands of miles. Everyone sheds tears when they see it! Thanks to me, His Highness Lengbi, who cares about the common people and vows to eliminate evil spirits and benefit the people's livelihood. It can be seen that Your Highness is the destiny.
Son, destiny lies with our Leng family of Chu!"
Those remaining ministers all burst into tears, fell to the ground, and said:
"Destiny is here! God bless the Leng family!"
Leng Bi was moved when he heard this, and he humbly helped the veterans up one by one, and couldn't help but say to himself:
"Leng Bi does not dare to accept this special honor! As long as everyone works together and obeys the destiny, we will definitely be able to prosper the great Chu. By then, all uncles and uncles will be Conglong Heavy Industry! Leng Bi will definitely comfort his father, the queen and his mother, and establish a kingdom. You all will
We are all princes and princes, and together we will defend our great country of Chu!"
If the task hadn't been related to him, he would have been so impressed.
This Prince Leng is really ambitious and capable. He has started to do a lot of good things even before he returned to the country. No wonder those old ministers are all grateful.
It is indeed not easy for these people to persevere for twenty years after the country's collapse. I don't know whether to praise their loyalty or lament their pedantry. No matter what, these twenty years must not have been easy.
Leng Bi lived a happy life in Shangqing Mountain, and there were a group of veterans outside who were eager to help him plot for restoration. There were really two ways to go!
The Great Master asked Leng Bi:
"Your Highness, that drought demon is ferocious and there is an extra hyena, are you sure?"
It seems that this great national master knows a lot about the situation.
Leng Bi nodded:
"I have made a lot of preparations, waiting for the drought demon to appear in front of the people..."
Halfway through, he seemed to realize that he had made a mistake and smiled:
"The great master also said that I am a disciple of the Immortal, and I have learned a lot of immortal methods. Although the Han Demon is powerful, I have the formation and magic weapon to help me, so I am still certain. After I get rid of the Demon Demon, I will come back to you
Narrative.”
The Grand Master nodded:
"I will go and tidy up myself, and the three armies will be on guard. As soon as the good news comes from His Highness, we will raise the banner, respond to the people's sentiments, and march straight to the imperial city!"
Youtu's fingers clicked on the mirror. Xiaodi Yiji shook the mirror and asked softly:
"Xiaojiu, is this section useful? Should I go and look at him again?"
Youtuo nodded:
"It works, you did a great job!"
She seemed to know that Leng Yue and Leng Bi were so active in the mission during this trip. He probably wanted to take advantage of his achievements in eradicating the drought demons to inspire people's support, to show that he was the son of destiny and to take the opportunity to restore the rule of the Leng family's royal family.
Therefore, Leng Bi deliberately let this drought demon escape and sent it to the territory of the old Chu State.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Xiao Di Yijing found traces of using the Shangqing Mountain Thousand Miles Talisman in the mountain temple. It was naturally Senior Brother Leng who did it.
He should have quietly moved his hands and feet during the fight with the Drought Demon in the swamp, and used some unknown method to attach the Thousand Mile Talisman to the Drought Demon without any trace.
When Han Bao fled to the mountain temple, he secretly activated the Qianli Talisman and spread Han Bao to his homeland according to the direction he had determined.
What's a little strange is, how did the drought in the Chu Kingdom come about before the Drought Demon was sent there?
Could it be that there had been a drought there for a long time, and it happened to be a drought, so Leng Bi took advantage of it?
Anyway, after removing the drought demon, Leng Bi can take the opportunity to cast spells to induce clouds and rain, and prove in front of the people that he is the destiny.
Although the Taoist sect has the mission of helping the world and helping the people, not all natural and man-made disasters can be helped. Common droughts like this are still left to the common people to bear on their own.
Unless there is something like a drought that exceeds the ability of mortals to save themselves, the Taoist sect will intervene. Moreover, every time a disciple takes action, he must report it to the sect, so as not to affect the normal flow of the world's fortune.
Leng Bi could explain it to the sect by getting rid of the drought demon and causing rain naturally.
Young Gao even suspected that there was something fishy about the drought in Chu State. Maybe it was not a natural disaster but a man-made disaster!
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
It seems that it happened to coincide with the emergence of Prince Leng and to facilitate him to display his immortal power!
If you want to know the specific drought situation in the old Chu country, it is not enough to rely on the images taken in by the small earth mirror. You have to see it yourself.
Youtu thought for a while, and then asked Xiaodi Yijing to go back to Lengbi and then stare at it. He let go of Qingyunzhan and walked back.
Returning to the mountain temple, there was no one around, so Xiaoji couldn't help but walk to the back of the temple to look at the broken stone tablet in the open space.
"There is no unforeseen disaster... There is still great famine... and drought has already happened... There is no snow in winter and no rain in spring, and the vegetation is scorched..."
From the remaining inscriptions, it can be seen that this land also suffered a rare drought a hundred years ago.
Youtu recalled the records he saw on the sect's Star List. A hundred years ago, the sect had no mission to come here to save the drought, and no drought demon was born here.
That is, the drought a hundred years ago did not require Daomen to take action. Either the disaster alleviated on its own, or the people completed self-rescue.
The drought recorded on the stele should be different from the current disaster caused by drought.
She continued to identify:
"The chief mourns and appeals to heaven for help... The ignorant people implore the mountain gods to save the hungry people from dying... The kindness has extended thousands of miles, and the rivers are widely given..."
It was the local people praying to the mountain god for rain.
Suddenly, her eyes focused on a deep scratch. Most of the words there were destroyed and almost unrecognizable. Following the direction of the remaining strokes and inscriptions, she could barely guess and spell out "Five Women for..."
The words "sacrifice".
Like lightning flashing through his mind, Xiao Qi flew back to the mountain temple——
There were exactly five coffins placed there!
