Mystery Leaks

Chapter 224 Thunderstorm and Heavy Rain
The black clouds were getting lower and lower, and the pressure was getting lower and lower. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and it felt as if it was going to be dark.

The electric snakes shot out, and the thunder was loud, completely in the rhythm of a summer storm, and everything came very quickly. In just a few minutes, the black clouds were overwhelming the city.

"Rumble..."

The thunder was rolling, and the electric snakes were scurrying in the clouds, as if they were about to tear the sky apart.

Not only that, but a huge vortex of wind and cloud was formed, and the center of the vortex was aimed at several streets of the fair.

There is a tendency to press down and eat up the fair.

The market is a place where markets and businesses are concentrated, and it is also the center of Jinpen Township. The vortex at this moment is like the mouth of a giant beast.

Soon, Cao Nan rushed to the new house, and Hu Lai and Huang Mao also rushed out.

"What's the situation, are these types of thunder or sky thunder?" I hurriedly asked; there is an essential difference between the two. Yin thunder is a vision created by a powerful yin creature, while sky thunder is a real thing.

If it's the former, then it's a Yin thing attacking Jinpen Township, if not, it's the King of Ghosts and the King of Ba, if it's the latter, it's a natural phenomenon.

It's just that looking at the formation doesn't seem natural at all. Where can there be such fierce clouds and thunder and lightning in the winter?

"Why do I feel like Tianlei?!" Huang Mao scratched the yellow hair on his head, wondering.

"Tianwei, it's Tianlei!" Hu Lai said with certainty.

I frowned slightly, not to mention, I felt that it was indeed different from the one I encountered in the provincial capital. There was an incomparably powerful destructive power in these thunder and lightning, which was by no means a vision.

At this moment, not only us, but everyone in Jinpen Township was alarmed. They didn't expect so many cheers, thinking that it was going to rain, and everyone's expressions changed drastically after thinking too much, and hurriedly closed the door and hid.

"boom!"

Quickly, an extremely bright lightning fell from the sky instantly, hitting the direction of the old house, and at the same time, a scorching breath spread between the sky and the earth.

This is Tianlei's unique yang power.

I was shocked, this is really a thunder, and more importantly, the location where the lightning landed is very likely to be the peach blossom forest where the grandfather's grave is located.

The thunder rolled, piercing the dark sky.

"Da da... papa papa..."

Immediately afterwards, something began to fall from the sky, and Cao Nan's pickup truck made a loud noise.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be hail!
Some are only as small as soybeans, and some are as big as eggs, which are scary.

"Come into the house!" Huang Mao was hit on the head and fled in despair.

We rushed into the house, and the hailstones quickly covered the ground in a layer, as if smashing Jinpen Township into pieces. Did someone shout from outside? If it hurts, I'm afraid it can kill people.

After the hail came down, there was a torrential downpour, the electric fan Lei Meng, and the rain curtain enveloped the entire Jinpen Township. It was completely dark, and the rain fell like a basin.

"I'll go, it's really thunder, it's raining!" Cao Nan was dumbfounded.

I was also shocked. Jinpen Township has not rained for almost a year. What's going on today? Why did it suddenly rain?
I discussed this topic with Huang Mao before, and it turned out that the drought was caused by the birth of Hanba. In fact, Hanba really existed, and it was the king of Hanba.

But later, Huang Mao and Hu Lai changed their story again, saying that there might be some changes in Jinpen Mountain, which caused some changes in the situation in this area, so that the sky did not rain.

To put it bluntly, even Jinpen Township has been cursed and it will not rain.

Regardless of the explanation, the problem is that nothing sudden and major has happened recently. How can there be heavy rain in winter? This kind of heavy rain that starts with hail is very rare in summer.

"Boom!!"

"Wow wow wow..."

One after another, the thunder and lightning tore apart the thick rain curtain, and the heavy rain poured down from the sky like the Yellow River breaking its embankment.

Soon, the drainage ditch outside was full of water, and it was still rising rapidly.

"I'll go, what's going on here?" Cao Nan asked hastily.

"It's raining for 10 minutes, and it's time for a flash flood!" I also said.

"It shouldn't be a bad thing." Hu Lai shook his head and said, "Heavenly thunder is the most yang thing in the world, which can suppress all ghosts and monsters. It should be that the situation in Jinpen Township has changed, offsetting the influence of drought or divine punishment."

"But nothing happened recently?" I wondered.

Huang Mao said quietly: "You forgot, Jinpen Township has resumed watchmaking."

I opened my mouth suddenly. Grandma Cao just said that as long as the gong rings, Jinpen Township will be a piece of pure land, which can guarantee the peace of the house.Under the thunder rolling in the sky, ghosts dodge, and all evils retreat, isn't it a pure land?

It's just that the commotion is too loud. It's unimaginable that such a commotion can be caused by knocking the gong at night.

What exactly did the ancestors of the three families of the tomb guards arrange in Jinpen Township, and why is it so crucial?

If I knew it earlier, I would have started the night watch earlier, and I wouldn't have caused such a big mess. The villagers have exhausted all means for water.

What's more, if the tricks were updated at the beginning, wouldn't there be so many troubles?
Jinpen Township will be the same as usual, with good weather?

But thinking about it, I couldn't help shaking my head. This is definitely not the case. Besides, Grandma Cao wouldn't let Cao Nan be a prison guard unless it was absolutely necessary, because she didn't want Cao Nan to enter a legal practice.Same idea as my grandpa.

……

The rain has been falling for a long time, and it has not stopped.

Soon we lost our interest in watching, the rain was too heavy, and the water flooded up and entered the house.

We moved things in a hurry, moved all the furniture upstairs, and went to my shop after moving.

There are more things on the first floor of my shop, and there are still a lot of goods.

When the rain stopped after busy work, the four of them were very tired, half of the first floor was covered with water.

Fortunately, the place where the heavy rain is most concentrated is Jinpen Township, not the mountains. Otherwise, the flash floods that erupt can completely flood the entire Jinpen Township into the ocean world.

The winter rain was icy cold, and the people who soaked were shaking. Hu Lai and I were fine. I was very angry and never afraid of the cold. Hu Lai was used to eating and sleeping in the open, and Cao Nan and Huang Mao were shaking all over.

I hurriedly found clothes to change for them, and lit another brazier to calm them down.During the period, I called my third uncle and learned that the old house was soaked in water, but the terrain there was higher than that of the polder. Although the water entered the house, it was only half a foot deep, so it was not a serious problem.

The thunderstorm came and went quickly, and after it finished, the sky cleared up, and the sun hung slantingly on the top of the mountain, shining the afterglow.

"Your uncle, the weather is really good!" Looking at the vast ocean downstairs outside the window, I said speechlessly.

Not a single drop will be dropped, and the polder will be soaked in one go, as if to make up for all the debts owed before.

After dark, the water level began to drop a little bit, and by the time of the first watch at seven o'clock, it was already possible to walk with the trousers rolled up.

Cao Nan and I continued to make changes normally, because Grandma Cao just said that once the change has started, it cannot be stopped easily, otherwise bad luck will happen.The previous torrential rain and thunderstorms have given us enough warnings, and Grandma Cao is right.

Therefore, even though the rain was icy cold, we still gritted our teeth and finished the first shift; by the time of the second shift, the water had almost receded.

The thunderstorm washed the ground, although everything around was in chaos, but the night was extraordinarily quiet. This kind of tranquility was not silence. The sound of dogs barking could be heard, which made people feel the peace that had not been seen for a long time.

Before Tianyi, Baijinpen City was like a dead zone, and the dogs didn't bark.

……

After a night, just after the sun came out, Huang Mao called me and told me to get up quickly and go get the baby.

I just slept for two hours, and my head was sleepy and tired, so I asked, "Can't you wait for me to sleep again?"

"Wait until the baby is gone, don't blame me for not reminding you!" Huang Mao roared anxiously, "Hurry up and go downstairs, we will be there soon."

I was full of complaints, but hearing Huang Mao's tone, I didn't dare to sleep anymore, so I washed my face and went downstairs.

Huang Mao and Hu Lai came soon, and Cao Nan drove a three-wheeled motorcycle.

"What baby?" I asked hastily.

"Lightning strike wood, you elm head, get in the car!" Huang Mao rolled his eyes.

My heart is brightened. Hu Lai and Huang Mao have heard about this kind of thing before, saying that the sky thunder is the most yang thing between heaven and earth, restraining all ghosts, evil spirits, monsters, and the wood struck by lightning. If it dies, it will absorb part of the power of the sky thunder into it. It is a good material for making magic tools, which can be encountered but not sought after.

Among the lightning strike wood, the lightning strike peach wood is the best.

Because peach wood is originally Yangchun wood, which contains a lot of yang energy, so peach wood sword can exorcise evil spirits and kill ghosts.

But if the mahogany wood absorbs a part of the power of the sky thunder, it will be even more powerful, adding wings to a tiger, which will greatly improve the quality of the mahogany sword and make the magic weapon even more powerful.

Indeed, as Huang Mao said, it is a baby!
Very rare!
At first glance, Thunderbolt Taomu seems to be nothing, but if you think about it carefully, you can understand that this thing is like picking up insect treasures, and it is completely the meaning of heaven.

First of all, a peach tree is not a tall tree, and it does not attract lightning, and lightning generally does not strike it.

Second, the number of peach trees is not too much, especially on higher mountains.

Third, the peach wood that is split can easily die, and the lightning strike wood cannot be dead wood, it must be a tree trunk that is still alive after being struck by lightning.

Fourth, it depends entirely on God's will for the thunder to fall to the ground. If someone deliberately guides the thunder by force, it will not work at all.

To sum up, the Leijian Wood is completely a gift from God, which can be met but not sought.

Without further ado, I jumped into the car immediately. When the first thunder fell yesterday, it felt like it was hitting a peach grove.

If it hit the peach tree and the peach tree did not die, it would be a lightning strike to the peach tree.

Cao Nan drove the car very fast and arrived at the old house in a short while.

At this time, it was just dawn, and I could see from a distance that there seemed to be a person in the peach tree forest, and I could still hear the sound of "Tuk Tuk Tuk" cutting down trees.

"Damn, someone is one step ahead of us!" Huang Mao was shocked, and immediately rushed over there.

"How courageous, dare to grab the treasure!" Cao Nan roared, and hurriedly followed; Hu Lai and I followed closely behind. .

The four of us are menacing!
When the people in the peach forest saw it, they immediately picked up something on the ground and ran away. It was still dark at the moment, and the person shook a few times before disappearing.

We rushed into the woods and saw that we were shocked. We saw that the tallest peach tree in the middle of the peach forest had fallen to the ground. A hatchet and a row of mud footprints disappeared on the other side.

"Damn it, Lei Jianmu was taken away!" Cao Nan yelled.

"Chasing!" Huang Mao immediately led us to follow the footprints.

I was a little anxious, this mahogany tree is very thick, enough to make two or three mahogany magic utensils, it's a pity that someone else took the lead.You know, this peach grove was planted by grandpa, and others would simply steal it.

It rained heavily last night, and the muddy footprints on the ground were very clear. Huangmao led us to chase very quickly.

"This man wears cloth shoes, so he should be old!" Huang Mao chased after him and said.

"Lightning wood is only understood by those who practice law. Could it be Chen Laogen?" Cao Nan asked, these two characteristics are most similar to Chen Laogen.

"You can't say for sure, it can't be ruled out that it's him!" Huang Mao said.

Afterwards, we chased all the way, but we didn't see anyone, only footprints continued to extend to the distance, and finally disappeared by the river.

The man jumped into the river with the peach tree in his arms, and the clues of the footprints were cut off immediately.

"Damn!" Cao Nan cursed.

Huang Mao and Hu Lai didn't look good either, they were early, and there were others earlier than them.

"It's Chen Laogen!" I frowned fiercely.

When chasing Chen Laogen before, he jumped into the river and escaped, and he came again this time.
