Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Chapter 57 Worship the Immortals in the City, Please Order the First Emperor!

The spirit has walked away from the sea and disappeared into the smoke.

Shao Duan and the others turned their heads and prepared to salute Ling Jiao gratefully again.

However, Lingjiao didn't seem to like having Shaoduan and others around him, so it suddenly raised its tail again.

Another large pool of muddy water came towards Shao Duan and the others like a waterfall, and all the village elders staggered again.

Smiling helplessly, the village elders carefully retreated to a distance, and then cautiously saluted the spirit dragon.

"We thank the spirit dragon for sacrificing his life to save the people of Langya County!"

He sincerely saluted Lingjiao who was leisurely playing in the water on the top of Langya Terrace, and a group of village elders retreated to the edge of Langya Terrace.

The pouring rain on the sky is still falling, and it is obvious that it will not stop in a short time.The raindrops the size of broad beans hit the body densely, causing pain.

However, the villagers looked like they were enjoying themselves, and everyone looked greedily at the audience at Langya Stage.

The sky and the earth are already completely white, and a stream is flowing down from the side of Langya Terrace.

"What a heavy rain!" Xiang Lao covered the raindrops with his hands in front of his eyes, regardless of the fact that his toga sleeves were completely soaked at this time, and said with emotion.

"After the rain, don't say that the moisture for planting is already there, even the washing of the ground has been completed!" Shao Duan's face was full of dreamy joy at this time.

Not only him, but other village elders were also overjoyed.

Sowing does not require water, but moisture.

Moisture is the amount of water in the land, and the degree of water retention in the soil.Therefore, before sowing, the rain must fall thoroughly to ensure that there is water inside the soil layer and the surface is relatively dry.

In this way, the seeds will germinate and take root deep, without causing root rot due to being too wet.

Langya County is experiencing a severe drought this year. There has been no rain for several months. It is impossible to even sow seeds, let alone washing the land.

However, today the gods helped the white snake turn into a dragon, and the spiritual dragon sacrificed himself to provide rain in Langya County. As a result, there was an unprecedented heavy rain!
When it rains, the seawater erodes the salt infiltrated into the field, the deep layer will seep into the ground with the water, and the shallow layer will be washed out by the rain, and return to the sea along various streams!
"If it is like this every year, our Langya County will become a place with good weather and good weather." A villager said with fascination.

"Don't be greedy!" The old man is also highly respected among the old people in the village, and at the age of fifty, he is the longest one.He taught with a straight face.

While teaching him a lesson, he subconsciously glanced at the center of Langya Terrace.

Because of its age, Langya Terrace has sunken in the middle, forming a huge puddle.

And the spiritual dragon was having a great time playing in the puddle.

"If gods and spiritual dragons live here forever..." He spoke subconsciously.But before he finished his sentence, the young man suddenly stepped down the Langyang Terrace in one step, and slid down the slope on the side of the platform regardless of the mud.

"Where is Shao Duan going?" Xiang Lao asked subconsciously.

"Whether the gods and spiritual dragons will stay forever is a matter of the future. This year's farming must be finalized today!" Young Duan did not look back.

Xiang Lao also realized that the heavy rain was only the first step. Next, ditches must be dug to prevent the fields from being flooded.However, the precious rainwater cannot be allowed to flow away in vain, so it is necessary to dig water storage areas along the flowing water.

All of this requires a lot of young and strong labor, and the young and strong in Langya County are currently building stone roads!

With such a torrential rain, no matter how disabled the officials are, they have to stop working and rest, because the ground must be too muddy for pedestrians.

The young man is obviously here to call Qing Zhuang back from the construction site!
"We also need to return to the county quickly!"

The Prime Minister made a quick decision: "With such a heavy rain, we must first take care of the houses in each village, and secondly, make preparations for the women and children. When the rain stops, we will immediately go to the fields to dig canals to increase moisture!"

"The two of you have good legs and feet, so go back first and let us know!" He pointed to the two children who had helped him up the mountain.

The farmer's son naturally knew the importance of sowing seeds, so he ran for his life against the heavy rain, and the villagers also tried their best to climb down the Langya Terrace.

In this exciting scene, there was no enthusiasm in the rain, and everyone showed their joy.

Time waits for no one!
……

There is a camp five miles away from Langya Terrace.

There used to be countless low shacks here, but now most of them have been washed away by the water. The shallow pits that the villagers dug as shelter have turned into countless small puddles.

However, at this time, no one took care of these shacks. Even the owner of the shack didn’t care about his poor blankets and even food being washed away by the water. Instead, he stood there with an ecstatic expression, looking up to the sky and greedily feeling the rain. Feeling hit in the face.

They are all young and strong in Langya County. Although they are currently serving corvee, they still care about the land, and the food and clothing of their parents, wives and children.

"With such heavy rain, we can sow seeds!"

"A certain family will not die of hunger this year, but will have plenty to eat!"

"Heaven will never end my Langya County!"

Numerous cheers sounded, and many villagers knelt in the muddy water to worship devoutly despite the pouring rain.

And Qin Bing, who was originally in charge of the supervision, no longer raised the whip in his hand, but stood there blankly, looking at his highest officer, Qu Xiao.

At this time, Qu Xu stood blankly at the entrance of the cowhide camp, his face gloomy, but there was a trace of doubt.

He is the commander of the Qu, leading a group of soldiers to supervise the work of quarrying stones and laying stone roads.The military laws of the Qin Dynasty were extremely strict, and there was not a single vegetarian in the army. Those who could be promoted were those who fought effectively and made meritorious deeds.

Quxu is a quzhang, so he naturally knows how to watch Qi.Based on his experience, the weather has been dry these past few days, which is a good time for construction. How could it suddenly rain?

He glanced at the villagers in Langya County not far away who were still cheering and chatting, and felt a little hesitant.Although he usually treated these corvettes extremely harshly, it was only because of military orders.

We are all farmers, so why don’t we know how important this rain is to the people of Langya County?

However, the military law of Qin Dynasty was extremely strict, unlike later generations, there is still no force majeure.At this time, even if the sky falls apart, it will not be spared.

If the time is delayed due to rain, it is a capital crime!

"Fortunately, I had to rush to work early."

"But this rain is very strange, and the cloud just now is even more strange!" He murmured to himself suspiciously.

A huge swirling cloud suddenly appeared in the sky before, and Qu Xu also saw it.

And the thunder that shook him for hundreds of miles shocked him even more.

Qu Xun is an old soldier, even in the Chu land where the so-called cloud travels, he has never seen such a strange cloud and such an astonishing thunder.

At this moment, suddenly a horse rushed straight into the camp, before the soldiers could stop it, the man roared loudly.

"People from Langya County, hurry home to prepare for spring sowing!"

The villagers were taken aback for a moment, subconsciously looking at the person who came, and the next moment they cheered.

"It's the young master!"

"Young Master is here!"

"We kowtow to you, young master, for praying for rain for everyone!"

"The sky will not abandon me in Langya County!"

Countless people bowed their hands to the young master.

"I dare not steal such an achievement!"

The visitor jumped off the horse in a panic, bowed his hands respectfully in the direction of Langyatai, and then continued: "This is not because of the mercy of the heavens, but because there are gods who can't bear our suffering, and have the characteristic of turning into spirits and spreading rain!"

Everyone was stunned.

Immortal, Ling Jiao?
The villagers are all a little confused.

Although this place is five miles away from Langya Terrace, the terrain of Langya County is flat. Everyone has already seen that Young Duan led a group of village elders and children to Langya Terrace to pray for rain.

Now that it is raining heavily, this is naturally a small contribution!
Langya Terrace has been a land of gods since ancient times, and beside Langya Terrace there is an altar for the gods of the four seasons, which fascinates countless people.

However, the weather in Langya County has never been smooth, which is a great irony.

In fact, although the villagers still fear God, they have long scorned the theory of gods.

Including Young Duan himself, he always speaks harshly when he hears about supernatural things from gods and immortals.

Why did it happen that this time there was a fairy spirit dragon to save the people?
Although we have been doing corvee service for several months, the place of corvée service is right at our doorstep. Although we are not allowed to return home, our parents, wives and children at home have to come to the camp every few days to deliver food.

Why are there suddenly gods and dragons?
Could it be that the young man was so hot due to being exposed to the rain that he was talking nonsense?

The person who came was naturally Shao Duan, he had just borrowed a poor horse from a farmer's house on the way, and came with a whip, at this moment he was already trembling all over.

It is already the turn of spring and summer, and the weather is getting hotter.However, Young Duan had been climbing mountains and running before. He was drenched by the rain and then rode a horse in the rain. At this time, he was already soaked and cold.

He was just about to speak when a voice sounded, it was Qu Xiao.

"Fairy Spirit Flood Dragon?"

"I am Zuo Shiduan of Langya County. I have met the general!"

"It turned out to be a young official," Qu Xun narrowed his eyes and looked at Shaoduan, "Why did you say something about gods in our army?"

"Don't blame me, General!" Shao Duan hurriedly saluted.

He is no stranger to Qu Qu. Qu Qu led a group of soldiers to supervise the construction of the stone road at this time. The food and food of this group of soldiers were all supplied by Langya County.

At that time, officials still had a sense of integrity and shame, unlike later generations, especially in the army.

Quxu and other soldiers ate the food from Langya County, so they naturally felt the kindness of Langya County. Otherwise, they would be killed if they talked about the things of gods.

"I don't care about you for the sake of being rained or stunned."

Qu Xu waved his hand generously: "In that case, you will bring the people of Langya County back. If the rain stops, the quarryers will return to camp first. The rest can wait until spring sowing."

There is no good way to mine boulders these days. You can only set up a big log and light a fire to burn the stone until it is red, and then pour water on it to break it.

Anyway, it won’t be possible to mine stones if it rains, and it won’t be possible to transport stones if the roads are muddy.In this case, Quxu might as well let these villagers go home for spring plowing.

"I thank the general for his kindness."

Shao Duan saluted again, and said seriously: "But I am not in a daze, the general must have heard about the big clouds in the sky and the thunder that shook the sky and the earth before."

Qu Xiao nodded, only the blind and deaf would not know the movement in the sky just now.

"This is also a catastrophe, it's the gods turning the white snake into a spirit dragon, and causing the spirit dragon to spread rain to relieve Langya from hanging upside down!" Shao Duan was full of respect.

"Shaoduan!" Qu Xiao's eyes narrowed again, with a cold light shining, "I have been in Langya County for more than twenty years, have you ever seen the genus of the fairy dragon?"

"Never!" Shao Duan replied honestly.

"I'm Zuo Shi, in charge of Langya County's records. The ancestors of the people of Langya lived here. Has anyone seen the gods and ghosts?" His voice became colder.

"No!" Young Duan still didn't shy away from it.

"Before, you and I were together in front of the county government office, killing alchemists and the like. You personally said that all the gods and alchemists in the world are delusions. Do you remember?" Qu Xu asked forcefully.

"Remember." Shao Duan's expression remained the same.

"Since that's the case, why are you talking about gods?" Qu Yu sternly roared.

"Disrupt our army's morale, are you bullying our swordsmen?"

"General, don't be angry!" Young Duan handed over his hand again, "I also know that this fact is unbelievable, but this matter was witnessed by me, the elder Xiang, and even more than ten village elders in Langya County!"

Qu Xu was stunned.

The ancients established themselves with integrity, especially officials, if they were dishonest, they would be unworthy.Those who are light will leave their jobs, and those who are serious will be sent to prison.

Although everyone knows that there are also inhumane people among officials, people who have no father or mother, it is like losing their temper.However, Shaoduan is an upright person.

There are also a group of village elders who testify that it seems impossible to deceive themselves with few lies. .

However, as Shaoduan said, this matter is incredible.

Quxu was a member of the Weiwei Army, and he followed Weiweijie to pursue the alchemists to Qidi. Later, because the First Emperor wanted to go to Langya to offer sacrifices to heaven, he went to Langya to supervise the construction of stone pathways for the palace.

Along the way, Qu Xu personally captured hundreds of alchemists. He had known that all the alchemists were deceivers.Under the sword, everyone was pissed. Even when he asked his mother about her secrets, she blurted out the words and explained the methods used by the alchemists to deceive the villagers.

There are so many kinds of them, which opened Qu Yu's eyes.

The alchemists are fake, and the gods are also fake!

This may have been misunderstood by Shaoduan and a group of village elders, or it may have been deceived by alchemists using clever means!
"Shao Duan..."

He was about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted by a loud noise.

"We mortals thank the gods for the rain!"

The sound came from Langya County, which is quite close to the camp, only three miles away.

However, this distance is enough to isolate most sounds. Even if there is an occasional sound, it is like the wind blowing on the face. If you don't listen carefully, you won't hear it at all.

It has never been like this before, it is simply deafening!
Even the pouring rain can't hold it down!

"We mortals thank the gods for the rain!"

"Thank you gods..."

Hearing the constant call from the mountains in the distance, Qu Yu's expression changed: "What happened?"

Before he could send someone to ask, suddenly another horse galloped up in the heavy rain!

One of the scouts dismounted before the horse stopped.

"The leader of the report, Langyatai Wu Teeth Black reported that today, Shao Duan and more than [-] villagers were praying for rain in front of Langya Terrace, and suddenly they came to Langya Terrace. Teeth Black wanted to go to the stage to drive them away, but they saw him halfway. There is white air penetrating the sky, and it is raining heavily."

"Due to the heavy rain, the mountain road was slippery, and the teeth were black to the top of the platform. Young Duan and others had already descended the mountain. However, a [-]-foot-long snake and dragon appeared on the top of the platform, with white scales, two horns, and four legs!"

He continued with a panicked voice: "So Te Hei used flags to summon a certain person to deliver a message. When a certain person returned from Langyatai and passed through Langya County, the old man from Xiang's Township was inviting the people of Langya County to pay homage to him in the rain, saying he was a fairy dragon. !”

Qu Xu's whole body went numb, and there was a chill in his heart.

Langya County has 3 people. Although [-] young and strong are building stone roads at this time, there are still [-] people in the county.

The whole county claims to be a god and worships it?

Is it possible to cut down the entire county?
Moreover, the guards at Langya Terrace also report that there are Jiaos on the stage?
His whole body trembled.He spoke tremblingly: "We can't be exclusive in this matter! Come to the palace as soon as possible!"

"Report to His Majesty the First Emperor for judgment!"
