I stared at the old ewe bleating on the wooden platform, and my whole body turned to stone on the spot.

Really, it’s a sheep!

"No, old man, you just kill the sheep. Why do you have to put it in a wedding dress and tie it to a stake?"

The old man stroked his beard and showed a familiar expression.

"As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, and Buddha relies on gold.

No matter what era we are in now, we must know how to keep pace with the times.

You should pay attention to the packaging of everything, and send sacrifices to the Dragon King, so that the packaging will appear to be more upscale.

The last time we offered sacrifices, the sheep were dressed in student uniforms from the Republic of China.

It was a bit more troublesome last time, because I was wearing a three-point style that Gangzi and his second aunt bought from the city.

After shaving the sheep, I realized that there were so many ideas that I couldn’t hold it in place, and in the end I couldn’t wrap it in a bath towel.”

Uncle, do you want to listen to what you are saying?

You are not offering sacrifices to the Dragon King. You are holding a uniform party for the Dragon King!

If I were the Dragon King, I wouldn't make it rain for you. After all, there are so many kinds of sacrifices.

I originally thought that the people living in this remote mountainous area might be uncivilized mountain people, but I never expected that they understand the trend better than me.

"Little brother, you don't really think that we are sacrificing human beings to the Dragon King, do you?"

I slapped my cheek hard and said with an embarrassed smile.

"Uh...how is that possible? I just saw that the atmosphere was too serious and wanted to help cheer up the atmosphere.

There are many offensive words in my words, please don’t take offense at the village chief.”

The old village chief laughed loudly, but he wasn't surprised at all.

“The accent sounds like you’re not a local, are you?”

"I came from Qinchuan and accidentally got lost in the mountains. I wandered around for a long time and couldn't get out.

I just saw a fire in the valley, so I followed the fire to find it."

The old village chief stroked his beard and then waved to the surrounding villagers.

"Okay, okay! It's all a misunderstanding. Stop surrounding me and scare the guests from out of town."

When the villagers heard the sound, they scattered in all directions.

"Village Chief, the auspicious time is about to pass." The villagers on the side reminded anxiously.

The old village chief waved his hand towards me and showed a simple smile.

"Little brother, please rest for a while. It's rare to see a new face in the village. We'll treat you well after we finish offering sacrifices to the Dragon King!"

After saying that, the old village chief winked at the villagers.

"Get started and send Xiao Hua to see the Dragon King."

The villager then picked up the boning knife from the wooden platform and walked towards the "little flower" tied up with five flowers.

"Little Flower" kept bleating and looked at me with tears in her eyes.

"Wait a minute!"

"Little brother, is there anything else you can do?" The old village chief looked at me.

I frowned, made a tiger leap, and landed on the wooden platform.

"Village Chief, has it not rained for a long time?"

I raised my eyebrows and asked.

"Yes! It hasn't rained since the beginning of spring for most of the year, and the lakes in the mountains are almost drying up.

There is enough for people to drink, but the key is that the cattle and sheep must not be short of water.

If it doesn't rain, all the livestock we raise will die of thirst.

Otherwise, there would be no need to sacrifice to the Dragon King every now and then!"

"Does that work?" I narrowed my eyes and asked.

The old village chief shook his head helplessly.

It stands to reason that this place has dense forests and beautiful mountains and clear waters, so there should be no shortage of rain.

Unless there is a drought beast causing trouble, causing drought and no rain here.

"Village Chief, there is no need to sacrifice to the Dragon King. Maybe I can make it rain here."

The old village chief's eyes sparkled and he looked me up and down.

"You...you're not joking!"

The old village chief looked doubtful, and the surrounding villagers also cast doubtful glances.

If you don't show some real skills, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be convincing.

"To be honest, I am a Taoist who has some knowledge of some strange Taoism."

With a thought in my mind, dozens of talismans swept out from the sleeves of my robe.

After hovering in mid-air, it condensed into a Bagua talisman.

"Village Chief, you should believe my words now!"

"Tsk, tsk... I believe it, I believe it. Little master, put away your magical powers."

Shaking hands and kneading the magic formula, the talisman condensed in front of him huffed and retracted into the sleeves of his robe.

The old village chief laughed loudly and cupped his hand towards me.

"You really don't show your real face. What a great skill, little master!"

I bowed my hand towards the old village chief and got straight to the point.

"Village Chief, if my guess is correct, there should be a Dry Beast here.

If we don't get rid of this drought beast, no matter how many times we sacrifice to the Dragon King, it will be useless."

The old village chief's face was full of doubts.

"Little master, what is a dry beast?"

"Dry beasts are just a general term, and there are many types, not necessarily just exotic beasts.

As for the drought demon that people are most familiar with, it is actually a kind of drought beast, and it is also called a drought corpse among the people.

The reason why it is famous is because the power of the Drought Demon is so powerful that it is difficult for human beings to contend with it.

Wherever the drought demon appears, there will be severe droughts year after year, and the land will be red for thousands of miles.

Hanba is also one of the four ancestors of zombies because of his terrible reputation.

If drought is really causing trouble, I can't control this matter.

However, I have just observed the surrounding environment. The drought has not spread over a large area. At most, it is within a radius of 50 kilometers with this valley as the core.

Obviously the drought beast here is not a drought demon, it should be another drought beast."

The old village chief nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"You are absolutely right. There were heavy rains in Beishan County last month and the banks burst.

Our place is less than 80 kilometers away from Beishan County, and I haven’t even seen a single raindrop. You say it’s evil, but it’s not evil.”

The words of the old village chief further confirmed my previous guess. The drought beast here is far inferior to the drought demon, and the range it can influence is not large.

Moreover, it is still in a mountainous area. If there were not people living in this remote mountainous area, it would be difficult to find traces of this drought beast.

"Little Master, what does this drought beast you mentioned look like, and why have we never seen it before?"

The old village chief asked doubtfully.

"The Dry Beast likes to be quiet and does not like movement, and usually does not take the initiative to harm people, but its degree of harm is no less than that of other evil spirits.

As its power increases, the range that the Drought Beast can influence will inevitably become larger and larger."

Now that I have encountered it, it is time to eradicate it while it is still in its infancy, so as to prevent it from continuing to cause trouble in the world.

"Village chief, you just said there is a lake in this valley?"

When the villagers heard the sound, they pointed outside the village.

"That's right! It's not far in front of the village. It hasn't rained for more than half a year, and the water level of the lake has dropped quickly.

If this continues, it won't matter to people, but our livestock will soon die of thirst."

I curled my lips, feeling teased in my heart.

These villagers are so strange. It's good for people to survive in a severe drought, but they don't have to worry about livestock.

"That's right! If nothing else happens, the Dry Beast will be hiding in the lake."

This lake is the water source of the valley. In Feng Shui terms, it is the faucet of the entire water vein.

Dry beasts often like to stay at the source of water veins, because they can completely block the faucets.

"It will be a long night and many dreams. I will go to the lake now to get rid of that drought beast."

The old village chief nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of excitement.

"That's great, I'll take you there right now."

I followed the old village chief and walked towards the outside of the village.

The village chief walked a few steps and seemed to suddenly remember something. He turned around and shouted at the villagers on the wooden platform.ωωw..net

"Dali, um, there's no need to sacrifice to the Dragon King.
