Chapter 357 Four Brothers
Another loach wanted to sneak away. Chen Chu grabbed a handful of copper coins in his pocket, charged it, and threw it out hard. This loach was immediately penetrated by the copper coins. Because of its different structure, it was not killed in one hit, but lay on the ground twitching continuously.
, can’t even say the words to beg for mercy...
The Qingqi in the net bag yelled crazily: "It's none of our business, this is all their own idea, please understand."
Chen Chu opened his net bag: "Come to me with your true form. If you want to run away... I am also interested in seeing whether you are faster or Leiden is faster."
A proper threat.
Two balls of green energy escaped into the river bed. After a while, two loaches of the same size emerged. They twisted their bodies and bowed their heads in front of Chen Chu: "Excellent, expert, we are loaches who have lived for twenty years. By chance,
By coincidence, he opened his mind and practiced by swallowing the essence of the sun and moon.
Three years ago, people in Bei'an County took the statue of the Dragon King of the Four Seas to play with the gods, and accidentally dropped the Dragon King of the Four Seas into this small river. We saw that the statue of the Dragon King had no real spirit attached to it, but there was a glimmer of aura. The four of them, and the four of us, too.
Then, he became greedy for a moment, and his soul left his body and entered the eagle, entered the Dragon King Temple, accepted offerings from the people, absorbed incense, and at the same time gained the power to move clouds and spread rain over a hundred miles..."
Loach, whose sword was stuck on the ground, quickly took it over and said: "Streams, rivers and lakes that have no power to control are all moved by nature. When good times are calm, the waves are calm, but when bad times are bad, they break through the embankments and flood the crops! The same is true for wind and rain. When good times are smooth, the wind and rain are smooth.
In bad times, when there are strong winds and heavy rains, not only the crops will suffer, but ordinary people... well, the houses of ordinary people will also suffer!
You saw that we brought drought to Bei'an County for half a year, but you don't know that in the past two years, our four brothers worked diligently to sort out the rivers and water veins, and how much food they gained for the people of Bei'an County! But at the beginning of this year, they gave us less offerings.
A little less, and even less than a hundred incense!
Tell me, what’s the point of this? It’s our fault that everything goes smoothly?
However, due to the drought in the past six months, there have been more offerings and more incense. The ceremony is held every three to five times, not to mention how beautiful it is... The anger of our four brothers has almost disappeared. In the past two days, the water vapor has gathered at the top of the nearby mountain and is waiting.
After this ceremony is over, rain will fall on the people..."
Chen Chu didn't say anything, and Si Tiao Loach only felt a chill on his back.
The loach that had been impaled by the copper coin finally regained its composure, and it said: "Stinky cow nose... what are you... oops!" Before it could finish speaking, its mouth was slapped hard by another loach.
Extremely crisp!
Loach replied: "I don't know. I just have this power. If I can't absorb the incense and offerings, my soul will continue to weaken. What will happen in the end...it will definitely be difficult."
After a while.
The four loaches were in a panic, trying hard to recall all the past events, and began to cry out their grievances: "Master, is it possible that there is something wrong with your eyes... No, no, what I mean is, should we look at it again? Our body
Lurking in the mud of the river bed, our stomachs are full of fish, shrimps, crabs and the like. Even cattle and sheep have not eaten, let alone humans. Look at our size. Although we are big, it is very difficult to swallow one person.
.”
The loach that slapped the brother thought of something and hurriedly said: "I know, what you saw must be the people who died because of us in this drought!"
We are willing to make compensation for their lives. Master, look at this. For every human life, we will sort out the water veins for the people of Bei'an County free of charge. How about a year of good weather and good weather? Our body life span is almost at its limit. We must resist for more than ten years.
Years are no problem, but if I continue without payment and receive no incense offerings, I'm afraid my body will rot, my soul will collapse, and I won't even be able to go to the underworld."
Chen Chu walked all the way from Prince Su Qin's Mansion to Bei'an County. He saw many beggars fighting over each other for a bite to eat, and he also saw refugees digging for wild vegetables on the mountain in the scorching sun with rocks in hand.
The prosperous age of Kangxi?
Chen Chu asked: "Why do you feel so?"
He has some silver, and he has a lot of it, but if the silver falls into the hands of these refugees, as long as a little bit of it is exposed in the market, they will forever lose the chance to spend it...
If we want to continue for a long time, I'm afraid we still have to rely on these four loaches to gain the power to move clouds and spread rain.
The Qing government used thirty-three taels of silver to control the people and was afraid that they would rebel. Is it really that good? If the people rebelled, wouldn't they be making trouble for themselves...
The people are in rags and barely eat and drink, so what does that mean?
Chen Chu's pupils returned to normal. The souls of these four loaches were mottled, each with three or four streaks of red, but together they were not as red as the dead Master Xuanzhen. He asked sternly: "The poor Taoist god's eye has found out what's on you."
We all have lives, please tell the truth!"
The large amount of copper coins that Chen Chu carried almost all shone brightly. He knew that the symptoms would not be the root cause, but the copper coins could make them last longer.
The loach that was slapped was one of the two groups of green energy just now. They had witnessed Chen Chu's methods and dared to make mistakes. They had never seen a Taoist priest who could hold thunder and lightning in his hand! Its head kept banging on the ground: "Old Fourth
I'm rude, please forgive me! Although we are greedy, we only give some punishment to the common people and never want to kill them!
Now is the sixteenth year of Kangxi, the so-called prosperous age of Kangxi.
There was even a skinny woman who, when she saw him, pulled down half of her clothes and said that as long as he gave her a steamed bun to eat, she would let Chen Shi be in trouble all night.
The loaches just felt as if they were being skinned and deboned by a fishmonger on a chopping board. They could see clearly both inside and outside with no privacy at all.
Chen Chu's eyes were divided into two, scanning the souls in the four loaches.
If people in this era want to survive, good weather is the most basic thing. If there is a little bit of wind and rain, it will inevitably breed a large number of refugees.
The expert must have just arrived in Bei'an County. If you pass by the mountains, you should be able to see the red clouds hanging from the sky in the past two days and the mist filling the mountains. This is all water vapor that has gathered in advance, just waiting for rain..."
Chen Chu knew how to make wind and rain in one day, but he could not live here forever.
Chen Chu looked at the four loaches and said: "I will not take your lives, and you will retain the power, and I will not stop the people from worshiping you! But since you have taken this power and enjoyed the incense, you must fulfill your obligations."
It is your responsibility to eliminate the sin of killing people as soon as possible...perhaps, one day, you can really achieve enlightenment and achieve the position of true god in heaven."
The loaches knew that the calamity of death was over and were overjoyed. Except for the loaches that were nailed to the ground, they all kowtowed crazily.
"Hahahahahaha, well said, well said! You have a long-term vision and a thoughtful mind. I admire you very much, young man!"
At this time, a burst of extremely wanton laughter came from the woods near the river, even a little obscene. Among the laughter was an old man with a mustache and a round belly. He had a yellow parcel on his shoulder and an oil-paper umbrella under his ribs.
, laughing so hard that his whole body trembled.
As he walked, he looked at Chen Chu and said, "I wonder where my friend came from and where my master came from? I don't have any ill intentions. It's just that you took away my chance to fight the sky and wanted to learn from my fellow Taoist. Don't worry.
