He hurriedly said that when Governor Pang, Pu Diannong and others came out of the government office, they saw Pu Zan leading a Taoist priest with a windy jade tree and a dusty appearance to the government office.

Involuntarily, everyone hurried forward to salute Han Xiangzi and say hello:

"We are waiting to welcome the Immortal Master to Yangting Mansion!"

"Everyone, there is no need to be polite to the poor."

Hearing this, Han Xiangzi waved his hand and smiled warmly.

"Dad, Uncle Pang, this is Master Han from Zhongnan Mountain."

At this time, Pu Zan stepped forward and introduced Han Xiangzi to everyone.

"Now that there is a severe drought in Yangting, Master Han can come to help. As the head of Yangting Palace, I am here to thank the immortal master in advance on behalf of the people of the mansion."

"If I can really ask for rain, I would like to send the whole house to you with pearls and jade to thank you for your great kindness."

Governor Pang suddenly looked solemn and bowed to Han Xiangzi.

"Don't say that. We, as Taoists, do good deeds of justice, not for yellow and white things."

Han Xiangzi shook his head and looked serious.

When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but respect Han Xiangzi.

"Master Han Xian, we'd better go to the court to discuss things."

Pu Diannong opened his mouth and invited Han Xiangzi to join the government office.

"Then please lead the way."

Han Xiangzi smiled slightly.

Ever since.

A group of people waited and went to the government office lobby.

After everyone was seated, Governor Pang got straight to the point and asked:

"I wonder when Master Han will ask for rain?"

"Is it necessary to sacrifice cattle and sheep?"

"Pindao will cast a spell tomorrow to make it rain lightly, and three days later, he will ask for heavy rain. I hope Governor Pang can set up an altar table with incense in the city in the next few days." Han Xiangzi said.

What Master Zhengyi said is right, if there is a light rain, it will be enough if there are mountains and clouds in the Taoist gate.

But the current drought in Yangting cannot be solved by a few light rains.

What I want is a downpour!

With such a rainfall, we have to burn a document with the Ministry of Thunder and issue a letter again.

Governor Pang and others breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that there was no need to slaughter cattle or sheep.

When he was told that he only needed to prepare a table with incense sticks, he agreed:

"No problem."

"When Mr. Pang and Pindao came here, they heard from layman Pu that there is a very efficacious Sanggu Temple in the local area. It had a sacred event a hundred years ago. It is also recorded in the local county annals. I wonder if it can be borrowed easily?"

After the matter was decided, Han Xiangzi's expression suddenly changed, and he made another request to Chief Pang.

"It is convenient. The five counties under the jurisdiction of Yangting Mansion are currently within the government office."

Governor Pang smiled, and then ordered Pu Zan beside him:

"Pudongzi, quickly take Master Han to have a look."

"Yes, Uncle Pang."

Pu Zan responded.

After saying that, he led Han Xiangzi out of the lobby and went to a side room of the government office.

After the two left, Chief Pang came back to his senses, looked at the people present, and ordered:

"Tomorrow, Immortal Han will ask for rain, so you and others will return to the counties first. Regardless of whether rain can come or not, let the people be prepared."

"Yes, Governor!"

After hearing this, all the officials responded one after another.

"Pu Diannong, I have asked the young master to be on good terms with Han Xianshi. I will leave it to you to handle his stay in Yangting." The governor Pang turned around again and asked Pu Chang and Pu Diannong again.

"Chief Pang, don't worry. I will definitely handle this matter well!"

Pu Diannong accepted the order and said in a deep voice.

……

Yangting Mansion, in a room.

Na Pu Zan looked at the neatly stacked shelves of books that were slightly stained with dust and said:

"Master Han Xian, this is the county chronicle of Yangting Mansion. In recent days, because I have been busy fighting the drought, I have neglected to clean it."

"Master Immortal sat aside first, and Rong Xiaosheng brought over the county annals from a hundred years ago."

Hearing this, Han Xiangzi smiled, and he could understand.

Although he was new here today, he saw that among the officials in Yangting Mansion, there were very few people who enriched their own pockets and took bribes.

Come to think of it, this county is well governed.

It's a pity that it happens to be a year of great disaster, so it's hard to see the prosperity of the city.

After a while, Pu Zan brought a stack of county annals and placed them in front of the table:

"Master Han Xian, all the county magistrates of Yangting Prefecture were here a hundred years ago."

"Very well, Master Pu, please go down first."

Han Xiangzi nodded slightly.

After saying that, I took out a book and started reading it carefully.

This Pu Zan is very considerate and even wiped the dust off the book before bringing it in.

Pu Zan did not dare to disturb Han Xiangzi, so he left the room.

Han Xiangzi has now reached the level of Human Flower, and he has also learned the alchemy of concentration, so his mind is clear.

When reading his books, you can read ten lines at a time, and he has a photographic memory.

What’s more important is that you can do two things at once!

While he was reading the county annals, he was thinking about the origin of Sang Gu.

Suddenly, when he saw the county annals of Yanglai County, his eyes paused:

"In the year of Xinchou, there was a severe drought in Yanglai. From the winter to the following summer, the fields were bare for hundreds of miles, and the seedlings were burned to the ground. The grains were scarce. The price of rice soared day by day, and the poor people suffered from lack of food. Vegetables

After the chaff was exhausted, the vegetation followed, including pockmarked roots, fern roots, and palm trees, and the bark of all the trees was peeled off..."

"When you climb high and look around, you will see that every household is depressed, the smoke from cooking stoves is broken, the chickens and dogs have lost their voices, the adults cannibalize each other, and there are no less than tens of thousands of people dead."

This is the record of the drought in Yanglai County that year.

Han Xiangzi was a little shocked when he saw it.

In addition, Yinping County also has:

"Many of the hungry Lis sold their wives and sold their children and died in exile. The suffering was unspeakable. They dug up white mud to satisfy their hunger. Within a few days, the mud swelled, their abdomens were broken, and their intestines were destroyed. They all died together."

“The county searched for treasures and sank them into the river, and sacrificed cattle and sheep, but the water god of the Naituo River ignored them. It took half a year, and the number of victims has exceeded 100,000.”

Han Xiangzi flipped through the pages page by page, and finally found the traces of Sang Gu:

"So disasters came from the sky, and droughts never came. One day, the fairy from the Yiyue Palace came to cast spells in the sky, and for a while, light rain fell to relieve the people's suffering. The county leader asked: Who calls the fairy? The fairy said: Sang Gu."<

/p>

"On the seventh day, the fairy reappeared, throwing a fight, thundering winds, tears pouring, rivers swelled, and the disaster disappeared..."

"..."

"Fairies wear scarlet clothes and colorful feathers, and have jade bones and bright orchids..."

Han Xiangzi saw records about Sanggu not only in Yinping County, but also in Yanglai County.

The content is roughly the same as that in Yinping County.

From here alone, Han Xiangzi could not see any clues.

However, Qingjiang County under the jurisdiction of Yangting Prefecture attracted Han Xiangzi's attention:

"Three days after the disaster retreated, a divine light came from the west, penetrating the clouds, thundering across the sky, and the sound was like a bell. Some people saw the floating clouds, the flags covering the sun, the big banners with high teeth, and the dragon's body hidden in the sky..."<

/p>

"Why is this?"

After Han Xiangzi read it, he felt weird in his heart.

According to the record of Qingjiang County, "Above the floating clouds, the flags cover the sun, and the banners raise their teeth." Isn't it true that heavenly soldiers and generals are coming?

"The dragon's body is hidden in the sky" or someone saw the dragon?

Han Xiangzi meditated for a moment and then suddenly came to his senses.

I am afraid that the dragon seen among the people of Qingjiang County is the Tuojiang Water God.

As for the heavenly soldiers and generals, most of them are the soldiers of Shuifu.

"The divine light comes from the west, and thunder strikes across the sky." Han Xiangzi took one look at it and knew it was referring to fighting skills.

Obviously, this paragraph refers to the Tuojiang Water God leading the soldiers of the Water Mansion to fight with people.

As for who the Tuojiang Water God is fighting with?

Han Xiangzi was the first to suspect Sang Gu.

"This Sanggu is really a secret. Who is she?"

"It seems that Pindao will go to Sanggu Temple after the rain tomorrow..."

After coming back to his senses, Han Xiangzi suppressed his suspicions and made his own plan.

In his opinion, there is something very wrong with the Tuojiang Water God.

If the water god came to Tuojiang a hundred years ago to serve, and combined with the severe drought in Yangting, it is difficult for Han Xiangzi not to suspect that the Tuojiang water god must be planning something secretly.

Han Xiangzi's mind was spinning and he thought about many possibilities.

But he didn't give in.

In terms of height, he is much bigger than the Tuojiang Water God.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that he is a disciple of Laojun.

Naturally, I won’t be afraid of the Tuojiang Water God!

If Zhengyi Zhenren is involved in this matter, he may not be able to deal with it based on his ability.

……

It is said that the county magistrate of the five counties under the jurisdiction of Yangting Prefecture hurried back to the county government office after obeying the order of the governor.

A notice was posted stating that an immortal master would cast spells to bring rain tomorrow, so that the people could prepare early.

To be honest, people have long been numb to this.

Yangting Mansion has been experiencing drought for more than half a year, and it’s not like they haven’t invited any eminent monks. This notice has been posted over and over again, but no rain has fallen.

For this reason, the government has nothing to do.

In this current situation, it is better to believe wrongly than to believe.

Therefore, the people in various counties also had the same idea. They were not very happy to learn that there was an immortal master who could cast spells to bring rain. They just took out pots and pans as usual, and put anything that could hold water in an open place, hoping that it would really be possible.

Catch some rainwater.

……

The next day, after dawn.

Han Xiangzi walked from where he stayed to the government office lobby.

As he walked through the long corridor, he saw that the open space inside and outside the government office was filled with utensils of all sizes.

Seeing this scene, Han Xiangzi was deeply touched.

On the other side, Governor Pang, Pu Diannong and other government officials have been waiting in the government hall for a long time.

Seeing Han Xiangzi coming, everyone looked at the latter with eager faces.

Yesterday, someone saw him coming in the clouds. With such immortal methods, it is not difficult to cast rain.

"Master Han, when will it rain?"

Governor Pang asked a little cautiously.

"It only takes a moment."

Han Xiangzi laughed loudly.

The words fell.

He walked out of the palace. As soon as he thought, a cloud gathered under his feet. Soon he took advantage of the cloud and climbed into the sky in full view of everyone.

In a moment, we arrived in the sky above Yangting Mansion.

Seeing this situation, everyone present was shocked.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Han Xiangzi above the void with some disbelief.

The clouds and fog here are soaring, which can be said to be the envy of others.

At the same time, everyone felt a little excited.

It is said that Han Xiangzi stepped on the magic cloud and looked down at the land of Yangting. He chanted the incantation directly. Under the stimulation of magic, he waved his palm and dark clouds gathered towards Yangting Mansion. After a while, the sky in Yangting Mansion also changed.

It got dark.

At the same time, Han Xiangzi raised his hand again, and the breeze came slowly, giving him a chill.

Down below, in Yangting Mansion, everyone in the government office could not help but feel happy and very excited when they saw the clouds covering the sky and the rain coming gradually.

As for the people here, they were even more excited. They came to the streets and ran around telling each other.

There are people who look up to the sky and shed tears, and there are people who shout and scream...

Seeing this scene, Han Xiangzi couldn't help but smile.

Immediately, as he turned his hands over, the clouds gradually thinned and rain began to fall.

The rain is light rain, pattering. Although it is not a drizzle, it lasts for a long time.

From Chen hour to You hour, the situation lasted almost half a day.

Such a large amount of rainfall is enough for the people of Yangting Mansion to return home in full bloom.

Of course, for all things, it is ultimately useless and it is difficult to rejuvenate the earth.

This time, the relief is limited to the people, and the recovery of all things may have to come from the heavy rain three days later.

……

It is said that Han Xiangzi was casting magic in Yangting Mansion to make it rain.

There was a clam patrolling the Tuojiang River. Seeing the slanting wind and drizzle, he couldn't help but poke his head out, look at the sky, and then hurriedly escaped into the river.

After pushing away the waves, we rushed to the water house at the bottom of the river.

This water house at the bottom of the river is exactly the Tuojiang Water House. From a distance, it looks magnificent and colorful, with a clear aura.

The clam spirit came to the Shuifu Palace, faced a young figure sitting in front of the palace, knelt down and said:

"Reporting to the Water God, a Taoist priest who came from nowhere seems to have a lot of magical power and is making rain for Yangting Mansion."

At this moment, there are many people standing and sitting in this hall, most of them are water monsters.

The young man has a tall head and horns, is wearing a blue dragon robe, and has sharp eyes.

He is the water god of the Tuojiang River, the seventh-grade righteous god canonized by the Lei Department.

His name is Ao Yai, from the Dragon Palace of the West Sea.

His father is Ao Xi, the younger brother of the Dragon King of the West Sea.

But no matter what, his mother's clan is a genus of dragons.

Even though Ao Yai was very talented and his cultivation was better than most of the princes in the West Sea.

But he was still sent to the Tuojiang River in the human world by the Dragon King of the West Sea, where he served as the Water God.

Hearing these words at this moment, Ao Yai couldn't help but sneered:

"Here comes another reckless person!"

He turned around and ordered a turtle minister in the main hall:

"Let Hong Li go to the human world, find out the origin of this person, and ask him to leave Yangting Mansion."

This turtle minister was born with a fat head and big ears, and was solid and honest.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but frown and advised:

"Water God, on this occasion, there are still Taoists who dare to come to Yangting Mansion to rain rain. I'm afraid that there is a big reason. Maybe they are real people from the same sect."

"A few days ago, the Yin Master who came here secretly has not been caught yet. If he gets into trouble again, it will be detrimental to us."

"Besides, real Taoists are different from ordinary people. Not only are they very good at following things, but they are also quite talented. If this matter is revealed, it will be a disaster."

As soon as the words fell, General Eel immediately said:

"Yes, I heard that there is a Thunder River Governor in the world recently, and she is also a dragon girl. She is fair and strict, and has also caused many losses to the Water God Hebo."

"Nowadays, there is a severe drought in the world. Our Tuojiang Water Management Bureau has neglected its duties so much that if we are discovered, we will not be able to escape punishment."

"I hope the Water God will think twice, or else I'll make it rain in Yangting Mansion?"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone present lowered their heads thoughtfully.

Seeing this, the Tuojiang Water God burst into laughter:

"Don't worry, the new Thunder River Governor is my member of the Four Seas. Since ancient times, the four seas have been connected with each other. Even if they encounter this, they will be accommodating."

The words fell.

In the main hall, everyone looked shocked and a little unbelievable.

After reacting, I relaxed:

"The newly appointed Thunder River Governor is from all over the world. In this case, he is one of his own family."

"The younger one thought that this person was from the Lei Department, so he was a little confused."

Hearing this, Ao Yai said disapprovingly:

"You don't need to worry unfounded. My god's battle to control the clouds and electricity is about to be successful. When the time comes, even Lord Xianxing will not be able to hurt me."
