Movies and TV: Starting from a generation of masters
Chapter 325: Drought is beginning to appear, and rivers surge from the ground
Huangmei has just passed.
It’s supposed to be the season of cool autumn air, but this year it’s extremely hot.
It rained at night in Japan a few days ago.
However, for some reason, the crops in the fields were extremely intolerant to drought, and they were already wilting in just a few days.
"Miss, it's very dry outside, let's go back."
The old servant held a paper umbrella, walked to Yun Niang, and persuaded her in a gentle voice.
The master of the He family was also a literary star who passed the examination in high school.
It's a pity that he was born with a weak body. He was bedridden a few years ago and was unable to do anything.
Fortunately, the young lady is smart. Although she is only as old as Ji, she is already able to arrange everything at home in an orderly manner.
Now the crops in the field are showing abnormal behavior.
After the lady heard about it, she was very worried and came to the field to check it out in person.
"Uncle Fu, it rained in Japan a few days ago. Why are the crops in the fields so dry in just a few days? You are an old man in the family. Have you seen such a scene in the past?"
He Yunniang has a small face full of sadness.
In fact, with the financial resources of the He family, even if there was a bad harvest this year, she would not go hungry.
However, the farmers in the village who rented the He family's fields could not bear such a blow.
It's almost the autumn harvest season, and it's time for the grain seedlings to be heading and filling.
If something like this suddenly happens, not only will most of the hard work of the past six months be in vain.
Even if the He family is free from rent, these people will have no food to eat. When winter comes, tragedies such as starvation to death will inevitably occur.
"Don't worry, miss, we already sent someone to deliver a letter to the city yesterday, presumably because of the old friendship between the master and County Magistrate Zhao.
"Mr. Zhao should be able to help find a solution, and I heard that not only our Hejia Village, but also several nearby villages have been experiencing this situation in the past few days..."
The old servant Fu Bo comforted Yun Niang, but he didn't look relaxed at all.
There were no insects or disasters. It had just rained a few days ago, but there was such a strange phenomenon in the ground.
This is also the first time I have met an old man who has lived for more than fifty years.
I heard that the Yuchun Tower in the city was haunted by ghosts a while ago.
There is such a strange thing happening outside the city. I don't know if it is a bad sign.
Standing at the head of the field for a long time, facing the seedlings that seemed to have dried up for dozens of days, I was helpless.
It was getting late, and the master and his servant had no choice but to go back.
On the way, I met some tenant farmers.
They are using wooden barrels to carry water from the distant river to the fields for irrigation.
"Oh, it's only been a few days? The clear stream that was full of river water before has bottomed out..."
"Yes, I have never seen anything weird like this in my entire life.
"The pond at the entrance of the village looks like its bottom has been leaked. The water level is dropping day by day. Today, we can already see the silt bottom."
"If this continues, within two days, I'm afraid the Qingxi River will be almost out of water..."
The conversation between the tenants made the melancholy cloud even more bleak.
The two slowly walked into the village.
We just arrived outside the He family courtyard.
Then a long-term worker came out and said hurriedly: "Miss, Uncle Fu, a Taoist priest from the county has come. He said that Mr. Zhao specially invited him to help..."
Miss He perked up.
He quickly asked: "Where is he? Take me there quickly..."
The He family is a family of talents.
The courtyard is somewhat elegantly built, with blue-tiled houses with three entrances from the front and back, and several rows of low houses on both sides.
Above the main hall, there is a plum vase half as tall as a person on the east side, and a large bronze mirror of the same height on the west side.
The weather was dry and Yun Niang was wearing gauze.
Just walking around outside, my back was soaked with sweat.
He didn't bother to go back to his house to change his clothes and went to the hall.
Looking up, he saw a young Taoist priest wearing loose robes sitting in the hall.
He was looking at himself with squinted eyes.
His face turned rosy for no reason.
But she felt a little disappointed. Luo Hengsheng had a tender face and looked not much older than Yun Niang.
What ability can such a young Taoist priest have?
Slow down and step forward, giving a slight salute.
"Dare I ask if the chief is an expert invited by Mr. Zhao?"
Luo Heng chuckled and nodded: "If the Lord Zhao you are talking about is the magistrate of Sanli County, then he is me."
Yun Niang pursed her lips, not knowing why.
Although the Taoist priest smiled before saying anything and was not evil-looking, when facing him head-on.
She always felt a little timid, and felt that the other party seemed to have an inexplicable pressure on her face.
The butler Fu Bo on the side noticed something strange about his young lady.
He stepped forward and bowed: "May I ask what you call me? This is my young lady of the He family. Because my father has been seriously ill for many years and is not able to do well, all the affairs of the family are taken care of by my young lady."
"My surname is Luo, just call me Taoist Luo."
Luo Heng nodded. Magistrate Zhao and Song Dianshi had already explained this situation clearly.
Come to Hejia Village this time.
It was because County Magistrate Zhao received a letter from Miss He.
Mentioning the strange incident that in just a few days, the rice seedlings in the field outside the city dried up and died.
This kind of thing would have happened in the past.
County Magistrate Zhao must have sent officers to check it out first.
I just thought about what happened at Yuchun Tower a while ago, and the news brought back by the people from Supervisor Tiansi.
A large number of demons were discovered in Huangmao Mountain outside the city.
This forced him to think in the direction of monsters causing trouble.
In desperation, he had no choice but to invite Luo Heng to come forward.
Before Luo Heng entered the village, he also looked at the situation in the fields.
Asking Mr. Luo Dao to kill demons is not a big deal, but asking him to find out what demons are causing trouble and how to deal with them is a delicate matter.
What experience does Luo Heng have?
However, in just a few days, this kind of seedlings dried up quickly, as if they had suffered from drought for dozens of days.
On the contrary, Luo Henglian was reminded of the legend about the Drought Demon.
How could things be such a coincidence?
A female demon was just discovered in Huangmao Mountain, and a strange drought happened here?
Luo Heng didn't quite believe it when he said that the two had nothing to do with each other.
At this point, Luo Heng already felt that his previous feeling in Huangmao Mountain was correct.
The female demon underground may have used some method to escape from the trap.
However, there was something else that Luo Heng couldn't figure out.
According to myths and legends, droughts must occur in areas where drought demons appear.
However, around Hejiacun.
But it was just that the seedlings in the fields were drying up, and the trees around the village didn't see anything strange?
Could it be that the drought caused by the drought will only affect crops?
This is obviously unexplainable!
"The content you said in your letter is limited. Can you tell me specifically what strange phenomena are currently occurring?
"And around the village, have there been any other strange things in the past few days?"
Luo Heng asked with a smile.
He Yunniang frowned and thought for a while, then shook her head and said: "Except for the inexplicable withering of the seedlings, I really didn't find anything else..."
As she spoke, she seemed to think of something.
Then he shook his head and said, "No, on my way back, I heard the villagers talking. The water level in the pond at the entrance of the village suddenly dropped in the past two days, and in just a few days, the mud bottom was already visible.
"The same is true for the Qingxi River outside the village. I heard it will dry up soon."
Luo Heng's eyes narrowed slightly.
He frowned and said, "Take me to see it."
Uncle Fu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I'll take Taoist Luo to see it."
Now, Uncle Fu will lead the way.
He Yunniang did not go back to her room to change clothes, but followed him to the side.
Out of the He family compound.
Less than a hundred meters away, we reached the entrance of the village.
A pond is about two acres in size.
At this time, the mud bottom has indeed appeared, and the surrounding mud surface is covered with dense cracks.
There is only a small pool of shallow water in the center of the pond bottom.
At this time, several swimming fish were swimming feebly in the turbid shallow water.
Appear restless.
Luo Heng went down to the pond and stepped on the mud with the soles of his feet.
His brows furrowed even more tightly.
The mud was very hard, as if it had been dry and exposed to the sun for several days.
Luo Heng walked to the bank of the pond again, under some big trees.
Looked at it carefully for a moment.
Finally found a clue.
On the surface, the trees appear unaffected by the drought.
However, the roots under the tree are also extremely dry.
Obviously, it's not that big trees have no influence, but that the vitality of trees is stronger than that of seedlings.
The time is still short and it has not been revealed yet.
Luo Heng flipped his wrist and took out the Qingming Sword.
He thrust his sword into the ground under the tree, used some skill to turn up the soil, squatted down, and picked up the clods of soil.
With a little force of his fingers, he crushed the clod of soil and looked at it carefully for a moment.
Sure enough, the soil was dry and hard.
There is basically no detectable moisture.
"Master Luo, have you discovered anything?"
Uncle Fu stepped forward and asked with concern.
Luo Heng nodded and said thoughtfully: "I already have a clue, but there are some things that I have to take a closer look at.
"You guys go back first, and I will go check out other places later..."
He said without waiting for the other party's reaction.
Luo Hengyun got up and jumped onto the tree crown, trying to get his bearings.
The Qinggong unfolded and he just floated away.
After a while.
Luo Heng's figure appeared in Huangmao Mountain.
"I thought you were going to have a night banquet with the county magistrate and wouldn't come again tonight."
Zhiqiu was already with the help of several Jian Tiansi primary schools.
An altar was arranged near the cave.
I don't know where these guys got the loess, but it was piled three feet high and more than ten feet wide.
On the loess platform, colorful flags were placed on all sides.
Although it is just made of paper, it still has some grandeur.
It must be that the altar has not been completely completed. Zhiqiu was still wandering around the loess platform when he spoke.
Luo Heng stepped forward, frowned and said, "Stop doing these things. It is estimated that there is a high probability that they will not be used."
Zhiqiu raised his head in surprise: "What do you mean? What happened again?"
"That County Magistrate Zhao invited me over and asked me for something..."
Luo Heng explained the rapid withering of seedlings in several nearby villages.
Then he expressed his guess: "I suspect that the female scourge has actually escaped from trouble long ago..."
Zhiqiu looked solemn and could not continue to decorate the altar.
He stood up and walked to Luo Heng, and asked solemnly: "According to what you said, this rapidly worsening drought situation is really similar to the legendary drought demon.
"But we have been here all this time. When did the female slave escape?" Luo Heng frowned and said, "Maybe she didn't escape now."
Zhiqiu asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"
Luo Heng clenched his teeth and shook his head: "There are some things that I have never been able to figure out before.
"It stands to reason that the female demon is a great demon that existed in ancient times, and is even more powerful than those true immortals.
"Even if we are really banned, can we only rely on the strength of those corpse soldiers who are neither humans nor ghosts to deal with us?"
Luo Heng said as he walked to the edge of the cave.
He leaned over and looked towards the bottom of the cave.
He continued: "When I went down before, I had a close encounter with the female slave.
"It's not that I don't have confidence in my own strength, but the power exuded by the female demon really has a sense of oppression that will destroy the world.
“However, the power of her attack was far less than the pressure that her momentum brought to me.
"What kind of feeling do you have? It's like being hit by a giant giant with one fist. It should have been a mountain pressing down on top of your head.
"It is absolutely impossible for you to resist, but when the fist falls on you, it seems to turn into a piece of foam and smash down. Although it is still difficult to resist due to its huge size.
"But it's completely different from the expected devastation and no chance..."
Zhiqiu was startled.
Somewhat suspicious: "Bubble?"
"Well, anyway, the actual power of the attack does not match the pressure put on me by the female slayer herself.
“At first, I thought it was because of the seal that the female slayer’s strength was weakened.
“But, now that I think about it, it’s probably my preconception.
"The power of the female demon's attack is not strong. It is likely that she has distributed her strength in advance. The mana left in her body is not enough..."
Zhiqiu was a little confused.
Several Supervisor Tiansi people were even more confused.
Luo Heng continued to explain: "We found the corpse of the female demon, and we took it for granted that she was still sealed underground.
"I never thought of the possibility of a great demon like her.
"I have been trapped underground for so many years, now that I have a method like the art of clones.
"There is still a way to break down the soul and send it out of the seal. How can this be the first time?"
Zhiqiu suddenly realized.
However, he was even more surprised.
"You...you mean that the female slayer has been thinking of ways to send out clones for so many years?"
Luo Heng nodded.
Only this explains it!
For countless years, they have been spreading out their souls and selecting suitable people to refine their avatars.
"So, there are actually countless female shadow clones out there, but she is hiding herself and we can't find them?"
Luo Heng shook his head: "It's not that we can't find it, it's that no one has found it all this time.
"It's just that this time, she was not far away from actually escaping. In other words, she thought she could escape, but she was hit by us."
Zhiqiu rubbed his eyes in distress.
The jade talisman of Lingzhongsheng was broken, which made his eyes always itchy, and he has not recovered yet.
He said in a serious tone: "So, do you think the female master's true body has escaped and the Chishui essence seal below is empty?"
Luo Heng nodded: "This is just my guess, but I think it should be right."
Looking into the deep cave.
Luo Heng suddenly took a step forward without any warning.
"I'll find out when I go down and take a look!"
Zhiqiu subconsciously raised his hand to stop him.
However, Luo Heng's figure had disappeared into the cave.
It was previously full of corpse soldiers climbing up.
At this time, there was no trace at all.
Without the interference of the corpse soldiers, the falling speed became faster and faster over a distance of several hundred meters.
Luo Hengdong's kick hit the cave wall.
The body hit the opposite cave wall diagonally, making a dull echo.
The speed of falling is reduced by one.
Then it continued to fall...
Landed steadily several times in a row.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, Luo Heng realized something was wrong.
The cave at the bottom was dozens of meters higher than when he entered before.
The walls of the cave on all sides have also expanded several times.
Moreover, the surrounding cave walls are still sliding downwards in large chunks at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The surrounding temperature was sweltering and dry, like being in a huge oven.
The cave walls were like melted butter, collapsing silently.
The speed may not seem fast, but the cave itself is large enough.
It's the size of a dozen football fields combined into one.
It collapsed in all directions at the same time. In fact, the real speed was extremely fast.
Every second, the cave is expanding outwards as the cave walls collapse.
Luo Heng couldn't care less.
His eyes fell deep into the cave.
There, it was supposed to be the location of the shady ban.
A three-foot-tall female demon with red hair and a body of green flames stood quietly.
Luo Heng's heart tightened.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
I was nervous because I saw the female slave again.
But he was relieved because his guess was wrong.
This guy didn't escape, he was still in the underground cave.
However, Luo Heng's brows wrinkled again the next moment.
Shouldn't...
Absolutely not!
The female demon faced her own anger several times.
How could she still be so calm after seeing herself entering the seal again?
Luo Heng stood there and thought for a moment.
Suddenly he turned over his hands and took out a pistol from the backpack space.
clap clap clap...
Heading into the cave, he emptied a magazine instantly.
The bullet sank into the darkness like a mud cow into the sea.
No reply at all...
Without stopping, Luo Heng raised his hand and threw the empty pistol directly.
This time.
Using almost all his strength, the pistol pierced the air.
It made a low whining sound.
Boom!
It was like breaking a mirror.
It was like a still picture that was shattered by Luo Heng's throw.
The scene in the cave has changed.
It was obviously empty, but in the huge hollow, there was the sound of rushing water being stirred.
immediately.
The cave that was just air was suddenly filled with cold water vapor.
Luo Heng didn't wait to figure out what was going on.
The water vapor stirred with the pistol Luo Heng threw, quickly condensed and turned into water droplets.
Clatter, clatter, clatter... it fell to the ground.
The speed visible to the naked eye accumulates into puddles and becomes a pool.
In the blink of an eye.
The entire cave has been flooded.
Even where Luo Heng was standing, the water level rose instantly.
Soon Luo Heng's entire body was submerged in it...
With Luo Heng's current strength, there would be no problem staying underwater for a while.
But in the ground hundreds of meters deep.
It is also the place where the female demon is sealed.
Luo Heng did not dare to be careless.
Quickly follow the memory and rush upward.
It wasn't until he swam several dozen meters that Luo Heng got out of the water.
Continue to jump more than ten meters, press one hand on the cave wall, and stabilize your body.
Luo Heng then turned back and looked down.
But he saw that the water surface had reached less than one meter below his feet.
Just when he lowered his head, it was already submerged to his feet.
Luo Heng frowned, but didn't stop.
Continue to jump upward.
He quickly jumped out of the cave and landed on his feet.
Zhiqiu immediately asked: "What's going on? What's the sound below? Is the female slave still there?"
Luo Heng landed on his feet.
The muscles in his body trembled, and the wet stains on his clothes were scattered.
Dry again instantly.
He frowned and replied, "I don't know, the bottom is already filled with water."
"Water?" Zhiqiu was confused.
However, there was no need for Luo Heng to explain further.
The cave exit is more than ten feet wide.
The water has overflowed.
Blah blah blah...
Just like a high-pressure water pump suddenly started, a huge stream of water spurted out.
After reaching a height of tens of meters, it scattered into water splashes and fell down.
Luo Heng held Zhiqiu's hand and quickly retreated.
It wasn't until he retreated several hundred meters that he was out of the range of the falling water.
The water column that shot up into the sky only lasted for a few seconds before falling back down again.
Soon, a stream of water formed on the ground.
Along the rugged terrain of Huangmao Mountain, the river flows all the way down.
Many strange rocks on the impact mountain rolled down, making a huge rumbling sound.
The cave entrance, which is more than ten feet wide, is rapidly expanding under the erosion of the water.
Soon, the soil near the cave was washed away.
There are only huge stone blocks on both sides.
Several captains of the Tiantiansi were soaked and retreated to Luo Heng and others in embarrassment.
Everyone was stunned.
Before, it was still a barren mountain with rocks and no trees growing on it.
Just like that, a river suddenly appeared in front of me.
The river flows all the way down the mountain. It has reached the official road at the foot of the mountain, and then continues down along the side of the official road... (End of this chapter)
