The Legend of Yaoxian's Departure

Chapter 204
The two officials saw that they were neither humble nor overbearing. They rarely saw such a person in Shanyin County. Although they dressed like refugees, they behaved like a schoolboy. They had only seen it on the son of the county magistrate, so they couldn't help but look up to him. two points.

"Okay, you wait here, I will report to the Lord."

Li Luo was waiting outside the door, while Feng Zhiyuan, the magistrate of Shanyin County, was in a state of desperation.

Since he took office three years ago, Shanyin County and its surrounding mountain villages have experienced severe drought for three years, so that the people are destitute.Although he has been diligent and conscientious during his tenure, he has not dared to be corrupt, and he has tried various methods to alleviate the disaster, but it must be of no use.

Now, the villagers in Shanyin County have started fleeing from the famine, and the imperial court has also sent an order to accuse him of not doing anything. If he is asking for no rain, it means that God is dissatisfied with him and wants to blame him, which makes Feng Zhiyuan very miserable. Can't tell.

Outside the door, Feng Zhiyuan's master Yu Shiye came quickly, and shouted before entering the door: "My lord!"

Feng Zhiyuan no longer had any hope for this, and only hoped that he could do something for Shanyin County in his last moments.Hearing Master Yu's voice, without raising his head, he kept writing in his hand, "Why are you so flustered?"

Master Yu stepped forward and said excitedly: "My lord, good news, a boy begging for rain came outside the door."

Feng Zhiyuan stopped writing, looked up at him, and saw his happy face, he couldn't help but frowned slightly: "Oh, Master Yu, I'm afraid you have forgotten how many Taoist priests who claim to beg for rain have been imprisoned in our county government prison."

Listening to his bad tone, Master Yu is not embarrassed. As a master, he naturally knows how much pressure his lord has been under recently, and he should have a bad temper.

He stepped forward to comfort him and said, "My lord, talking is better than nothing. In case it is useful, the City God is also preparing a ceremony for praying for rain recently. Let him try it."

Hearing what he said, Feng Zhiyuan felt that there was some truth to it. It would be the best if it had an effect, and it would be the worst if it had no effect. The worst would be to take off the black yarn and go back to the hometown to farm.

"Okay, please come in." As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Zhiyuan felt that something was wrong, so he stood up and walked out: "Forget it, I'd better go with you."

The two walked quickly to the front hall, and saw a boy standing in the flower hall and looking around curiously. The boy looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, his complexion was slightly yellow, and he looked like he was suffering from long-term malnutrition. Those who have been patched are the same as those refugees who fled famine.His eyes were clear and calm, without any embarrassment.

"Is this the Heavenly Master who begged for rain?"

The boy turned around, and there were two middle-aged men standing a few steps behind him, one of them was Mr. Yu who led him in, but the one who spoke just now was another man.

The young man looked at Master Yu, and Master Yu said: "This is Mr. Feng, the magistrate of our Shanyin County."

The young man bowed and saluted, "The boy Liluo has met Mr. Feng."

Feng Zhiyuan nodded slightly. Although he didn't think this young man had any ability to ask for rain, he didn't get angry and underestimate him. Instead, he smiled kindly.

"Can you ask for rain?"

Li Luo said: "Know a thing or two."

Seeing what he said, Feng Zhiyuan felt a little uncertain.Maybe this young man has the ability to be so indifferent, maybe he really just knows a thing or two.

"It's a good thing that you have the heart to benefit the people, but you have no ability to ask for rain. After all, this matter is currently our top priority in Shanyin County."

Li Luo smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, my lord. I heard that many Taoist priests who prayed for rain have been imprisoned in the prison in Guixian County. Please also put Xiaguan in the prison. If I don't pray for rain, I won't leave the prison."

Feng Zhiyuan was taken aback for a moment, and there were still people who asked to be put in prison. Such people were either really capable or fools, or people with ulterior motives.Feng Zhiyuan looked at Li Luo, although he described it as a mess now, but his demeanor was calm and calm. Could such a person be a fool?Shanyin County is only that big. In the past three years, there were only those people in the cells, and there were no particularly important people.If someone wanted to rob the prisoner, why didn't they send someone before?Therefore, it should not be the last one.

Feng Zhiyuan looked at Li Luo inquiringly, but Li Luo still looked indifferent, with a slight smile on his lips.

"In this way, I will grant your request."

Li Luo lived in the prison as she wished. If she had listened to what Feng Zhiyuan was saying, she might have said that she really had ulterior motives.

One is to reassure the people, and the other is that the matter of cloud distribution and rain is under the jurisdiction of special personnel in the heavens. Anyone with a little cultivation in the mortal world, as long as they can communicate, there will always be some news.Li Luo didn't want to directly confront the people from the heavens, so he wanted to start with these Taoist priests first, to see if he could pry out any useful information.

The gate of the prison was opened, and a cloud of flying ash rushed in. The buildings in Shanyin County were basically built of earth, only the city walls, the county government office, and the Confucian Temple were made of bricks.The long-term drought caused the walls to fall off, and the sky was full of dust and sand when the wind blew.

Liluo was taken to the cell where the Taoist priests were held. The yamen guard heard that he was also here to pray for rain. Seeing that he was thin and not wearing Taoist robes, he thought he was a deceitful boy, and he couldn't help but mocked him.But because of Master Yu's explanation, these servants did not dare to speak loudly to her, and they were still respectful on the surface.

There are two cells for Taoist priests, one has four or five people locked up, and the other has only two people.The yamen servants chose the one with few people to lock him in.

No matter where the prison is, the yamen guards will not show good looks to the prisoners, so when the prisoners here see the usual high-spirited and vicious yamen guards respecting a young man like a refugee, they all get up and watch the fun.Similarly, the two Taoist priests also looked up when they saw the newcomer.

I don't know if I don't look at it, I was shocked when I saw it, when the two Taoist priests were still at a loss, Li Luo had already recognized them, Xuanning Xuanze from Tianxue Village.

There was nothing in the cell except weeds all over the place, Xuanning Xuanze was leaning against the wall and meditating, even if it was so, it was hard to avoid describing it as a mess.

After the yamen servant left, Li Luo sat beside them and meditated with his eyes closed.In the cell, the newcomers would be trained by those old fritters when they first arrived. The prisoners who have been paying attention to this place originally planned to watch a good show, but it turned out that there was no problem here. went to sleep.

"Xuanning Xuanze."

Xuanning Xuanze, who was trying to get into concentration, heard a female voice calling him, a female voice that was still very familiar. He opened his eyes and looked around, only to see a tattered boy beside him, and he was also meditating with his eyes closed. No sign of speaking.

The two brothers looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering whether they had become enchanted by cultivation, when the voice rang in their minds again.

"I am Liluo, and I am in front of you."

Xuanning Xuanze suddenly looked at the boy in disbelief, the boy was still meditating with his eyes closed, and was about to rush over excitedly.Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by a female voice.

"Don't move! I'll communicate with you through the method of sound transmission, so you can just think about it."

The two Taoist priests lowered the buttocks they had just raised, and continued to meditate with their eyes closed.

"Niang Niang, I really don't know whether it's good or bad to see you here. Why are you locked in?"

"I'm here to pray for rain. Please put me in prison. What's the matter with you? Although it may be difficult to pray for rain with your cultivation base, it's not impossible. How could you be locked up?"

"Hey, ma'am, it's not that there's something wrong with our spells, but that there's no fairy governing this sky."

"Oh?" Li Luo frowned slightly: "What's going on?"

"We issued several Qinglong Orders, but there was no response at all. It was the city god here who told us that there is no immortal to govern here, no matter how much we ask for rain, no one will be responsible."

Li Luo's heart sank, if there had been no rain, how could there be people living here?Although Shanyin County used to have little rain and was prone to drought, severe droughts like this are rare even in the driest places.Moreover, such places are generally not inhabited by people, so the problem can only be with the officials of the heavens.

Seeing that Li Luo did not speak for a long time, Xuan Ning asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, you should leave, the matter of praying for rain may be hopeless."

"It's okay, I'll find out after I pray for rain tomorrow."

On the second day, the Temple of the City God had already set up a platform for praying for rain. In fact, since the drought, it has been used frequently, so this altar has been erected all the time.

Hearing that someone asked for rain, many people came near the altar.Although they could all predict what the outcome would be, there was still a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

Li Luo walked up to the altar, already dressed in green clothes, it was because Feng Zhiyuan sent his son's old clothes here in order not to embarrass him.

In order not to be too conspicuous, Li Luo first went through the process of begging for rain with brothers Xuanning and Xuanze, and then found that there was really no response.So he left a substitute on the altar, and the gods used the technique of sound transmission for thousands of miles to find an immortal.

It was a Yutong who was recruited. He was still sleeping on the cloud, but he was woken up by someone. No worries.

"What are you doing! Didn't you see that Uncle Ben is sleeping?"

Li Luo's eyes were fixed, the murderous look on his body was slightly revealed, and he walked towards Yu Tong.

Yutong was terrified by the murderous aura, and realized that he might have offended someone he couldn't afford to offend. He had heard that some unborn powers had a bad temper, and they would be out of their wits when they moved.He hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "This immortal master forgives the sin. The little god has no eyes and no pearls. He offended the immortal master. Please ask the immortal master to raise his hand and spare the little god."

"Yes, but if I ask you a question, you have to answer it honestly, otherwise..."

Li Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, and Yu Tong jumped up and smiled, "Yes, yes, just ask if you show it, if the little god knows, he must tell the truth."

"Why hasn't it rained in Shanyin County for three years?"

Yu Tong scratched his head, trying to recall, Shanyin County?Never heard of it.

"This... the little god doesn't know, this place is not under the jurisdiction of the little god."

"Then who is in charge of this place?"

"Forgive me, Master Immortal. We, Yutong, have regulations. We can only walk in our own jurisdiction, and we can't go to other places. Naturally, we don't know the Yutong in other jurisdictions, so the little god doesn't know who is in charge of this place."
