Saint Immortal Way

"Senior, wouldn't Lu Yuanmeng just accept that?" Lu Yang asked.

"If you don't know what else to do, those three people disappeared at the same time, it has nothing to do with us, no one has seen this matter at least no one can find out the clues. Unless you ask the master of the holy way to perform the technique of supporting the spirit, maybe you can I have seen one or two things, but does Lu Yuanmeng dare to do this?"

Lu Yang nodded and said with a reassuring smile: "That's right, his Lu family dared to collude with bandits and attempt to kill officials, so he didn't dare to say anything about it. If it got out, their Zhengzhi family would be completely ruined. I was confiscated and exiled!"

Early the next morning, the county government's carriage passed by the road and stopped outside the courtyard.

"Is it here?" A voice from the carriage asked.

"Yes, my lord, that's where Mr. Lu's house is!" The coachman responded.

"Okay, go and call the door!" The county magistrate Wang Hongzhi got down from the carriage, and the coachman hurriedly stepped forward to call the door. Mrs. Lu Yang was making bacon, and when he heard the call, he hurried up and pushed the chaimen open.

Lu Yang first saw a servant who looked like a family servant, and behind him was the county magistrate wearing a forest blue official robe, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Master County Magistrate, so it is really Mr. County Magistrate!" Lu Yang murmured, only then did she realize that it was the county magistrate who came to visit, and she was about to bow down in a panic.

How could the county magistrate make Lu Yangshi kneel down, and with a wave of his sleeves, a pale and righteous energy surged out, supporting Lu Yangshi firmly.

"Think you are Mr. Lu's mother Yang?" Wang Hongzhi said with a smile.

"That's right, the old man is here to see my son?" Lu Yang asked hurriedly.

"Exactly. I heard that Lord Lu was wearing official robes at the ancestor worship ceremony of the Lu family yesterday. I ordered someone to inquire. Only then did I know that Lord Lu is now waiting for an edict in the Shouyang Palace, and he came to visit him before!"

"My lord, please come in, please come in!" Lu Yang quickly led Wang Hongzhi to the courtyard, sat down in front of the stone platform in the courtyard, and said: "My lord, the house is simple, anyone who can entertain him? How about just here In the courtyard, I called my son to come..."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, you go!" Wang Hongzhi didn't feel neglected, this courtyard is just like this, the house is probably dark and simple, and it is inconvenient to enter, it is better to stay in the courtyard and be comfortable and clean.

"My son, the county magistrate is here to visit!" Lu Yang cried happily, and entered the house, Lu Yang laughed loudly, and came out of the house, without waiting for the county magistrate to get up, he went forward to greet him.

Wang Hongzhi didn't dare to be negligent, and returned the gift with a smile: "I only found out at ten o'clock yesterday evening that Mr. Lu was waiting for the imperial edict in the Shouyang Palace. Hehe, I was really pleasantly surprised, so I came to visit today. If there is something abrupt, please Haihan! "

"Where did Mr. Wang say that you are the parent official of this county, and you are already loving the people like a child if you can break the knot so far. How can Lu Yang be able to be loved by the adults?" Lu Yang smiled.

"Your Majesty Lu, you don't need to be too humble. Waiting for an edict in the Shouyang Palace is an official position that can reach the heavens. I think that in the future, Master Lu will have a bright future. Under my Lu Qiu rule, I can produce such a young talent as your lord. I am a county magistrate. Proud!"

A seven-rank county magistrate and a nine-rank waiting edict started talking, and they chatted happily for a while.

"Everyone, I've been waiting, the county magistrate is here!" A voice came from outside the courtyard, followed by the noise of many villagers.

Curious, Lu Yang and Wang Hongzhi turned their heads to look outside the courtyard. Through the fence, they could vaguely see many villagers outside the courtyard. Lu Yang had never seen these villagers before, and he did not know where they came from.

"Which village are you from? Why are you making noise outside my house?" Lu Yang yelled after opening the courtyard door.

"Big sister, please forgive me, we are here to find the county magistrate!" The villagers pleaded guilty, ignored Lu Yang, and rushed into the yard. Seeing the county magistrate, they stepped forward Bow down and bow down, bow down and kowtow.

"Master County Magistrate, we are villagers from Dawangzhuang, Xiaohezhuang, and Xiaoertun in the lower reaches of the Chuiyang River. Due to the drought, the crops in the fields are dying of thirst. The villagers have no choice but to petition the government. , I hope the county magistrate can pray to the sky for rain, so as to save us and other farmers from fire and water!"

"Yes, yes, I beg the county magistrate to show mercy and save us!" The villagers filled the yard, and there were at least a hundred of them kowtowing to the ground.

"Nonsense, really nonsense!" Wang Hongzhi was furious, his face flushed with blood, "Drought is a natural disaster, you should build water conservancy and divert river water for irrigation, this is the right way, praying for rain is heresy, Is it my holy way officials?"

"My lord, the drought is severe now, and there are many tributaries in the lower reaches of the Chuiyang River, all of which have dried up now. Where can there be water? Please enlighten me, my lord!" An old villager kowtowed as he kowtowed blood on his forehead. .

"This..." Wang Hongzhi couldn't help being speechless.He knew that the river in the lower reaches was dry, but it was a natural disaster. What could he do, unless he could invite the great Confucianists in the academy to do the method of raining, or he could save one or two, but the great Confucianism is easy to invite?They devote themselves to studying the holy way, how can they ask for rain for others every year?If you pray for rain every year, why don't you bother to death?

Farmers have always depended on the sky for their food since ancient times. As a county magistrate, at most, he led people to build rivers and canals, so that they could divert river water for irrigation when there was a drought, but now even the rivers have dried up, which is no longer what he can do!

"My lord, save me, if it drags on for a few more days, the crops will all die, and then we will all lose our harvest, how can we survive..." The villagers wailed again.

Lu Yang sighed beside him and said, "It's really pitiful. My family also has some paddy fields. Fortunately, those paddy fields are close to the river, and now there is much less water in this section of the river. Now it seems that there is no water in the downstream. Isn't this killing people?" ?”

The county magistrate Wang Hongzhi was silent for a while, and then he said: "Dear county citizens, it's not that I don't care about you, but that I have nothing to do. To tell you the truth, just ten days ago, I have already stopped the rain. I sent my request to Bailongtan Academy, asking the great Confucianists in the academy to use the art of rainfall to alleviate the drought in this county, but the academy still has no instructions, so what can I do?"

"Master County Magistrate, I heard that there was a heavy rain here last night?"

"Is that because the great Confucian scholars in the academy are already raining, why didn't they let the rain fall downstream?"

"That's right, doesn't this mean we can't live?"

Seeing the villagers making noise, Wang Hongzhi, the county magistrate, became annoyed for no reason. He suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense, be careful that I will arrest you all, and punish you for gathering crowds to make trouble and confuse people's hearts!"

The villagers down below were suddenly frightened and their voices became quieter. They were obviously frightened by the majesty of the county magistrate. Wang Hongzhi knew that this would only scare them for a while.

Regarding this, he could only try his best to appease him. If something goes wrong and his superiors investigate it, it will be a major event that will affect his future.

"Boy of the Lu family, come out and rescue the siege, the ancestor knows how to spread the rain, just find a way to help the ancestor build a river temple!" Lu Yang was sitting, and the sound of the snake came into the courtyard, and it exploded in the courtyard. , so that Lu Yang's spiritual consciousness roared endlessly, and the tea in his hand couldn't help spilling out.

"Senior, you want to build a river temple, am I right?" Lu Yang was surprised, and sent his heartfelt voice to the Qi Palace.

"That's right, didn't you ask the ancestor how I will practice in the future? The ancestor thought about it. It is difficult to advance to the next stage after losing the physical body. Only with the help of incense and aspirations, can we gather the evil spirits of the earth and balance the yin and yang, and then we can turn it upside down." Qianyuan is good fortune, cultivate a body of gods and spirits that can move the elements of heaven and earth like a flesh and blood body, so that we can make great progress!" Ying Snake said, with a trace of joy and boundless self-confidence in his words .

Lu Yang suddenly realized that the physical body is a magic weapon to survive the world. There is still such a way to remedy the loss of the physical body. The principle is also simple. It is to use the power of all people to find a way to recreate a body that can circulate vitality. There is such a magical effect.

"Senior, [-]% of the incense of the Great Kuang Dynasty has been divided up by sages and Confucians, so how can there be room for heretics?" Lu Yang thought.

"Boy, you also said that it is [-]%, isn't there [-]% left for heretics? As long as it is not in the prefectural and county towns, it is possible to set up wild temples in the countryside where Confucian masters cannot control. You should understand this!"

Lu Yang nodded. What Ying Snake said was indeed the truth. The Da Kuang Dynasty had a vast land and few people. Apart from Fucheng and county towns, many rural areas had built some wild temples, the most being the River God Temple and the Earth Temple.

These two kinds of temples are small temples, one is for managing the river and the other is for managing the land. In the dynasty of Dakuang, which only respected the holy way, these two kinds of temples had limited believers and were not good enough. Since the founding of the country, they have been repeatedly suppressed In the past hundred years, such wild temples have not been able to cause any disturbances, so the Da Kuang Dynasty turned a blind eye to its existence and disdain to care about it.

Ying Snake chose to use this method to cultivate with the help of incense, but it was a helpless move. Who made him lose his body unfortunately? A pure soul cannot gather too much vitality, it needs a special physique, such as a flesh and blood body , or the body of a god made of incense.

"Okay, I got it!" Lu Yang agreed. He turned his head to look at the troubled county magistrate, and persuaded him, "My lord Wang, you see that people's hearts are fluctuating now. If this goes on like this, something will happen!"

"There is no response from the academy, so there is nothing I can do!" Wang Hongzhi didn't know that he was helpless, even if he had a way, he would not sit here anymore.

Lu Yang's heart moved, and he said: "Then if the academy didn't respond in the past, what did the people below do? But let people worship the river god, pray for rain to the river god, and pray for rain?"

"There is such a thing, but this is heresy. People in my holy way avoid it for fear of being too late. How dare I get involved?" Wang Hongzhi's face was ashen.

"Why can't you participate? Is there anything more important than a farmer's harvest?" Lu Yang was surprised.

"Lord Lu is still young, so I don't quite understand the reason behind it, but I can tell you that people's words are terrifying, and people's words are terrifying. This mouth can make gold, and it can be destroyed. One mouth, one tongue, That is the stylus pen, which can cut off a person's future!" Wang Hongzhi sighed.
