Chapter 57: Praying for the rain to open the river
On June 15, 2018, the seventh year of Zhongqing, Yue State, it was a severe drought in the two northern counties of Yunzhou. There was no rain for several months, the land was gone, and the people were displaced.
Emperor Qing of Yue State summoned Xin, Chu, Jing and Lan to accept refugees and transport food and grass for relief.
The Chief of the Immortals and the Great Cultivator of Huangfeng Valley, the Great Cultivator of the Immortals, summoned thousands of registered immortals in the Immortals and went to the northern part of Yunzhou to pray for rain and open the river to help the people.
……………………………
In the southern part of Yunzhou, hundreds of lights were heading towards Jianhe County and Sanshan County in the north.
Since the establishment of the Immortals and Immortals have basically been in the territory of Yue Kingdom, and immortal cultivators no longer need to hide their bodies in front of mortals.
To this day, although ordinary people still respect immortals, they have also accepted the existence of immortals. The mystery of immortals in the past has almost disappeared.
This time, the number of incumbents who supported the two counties in northern Yunzhou was the largest in the number of incumbents drawn in southern Yunzhou and adjacent Jingzhou.
In the southern part of Yunzhou alone, there were 843 people in the Qi training period and 14 people in the Foundation Establishment period, including seven disciples from the Six Sects of Yue Kingdom.
"Brother Chu, I really don't understand. The world has changed too quickly. When did we, a cultivator, have to work hard for some mortals? And there are so many fellow practitioners?"
The team of hundreds of people and the management was not very strict, so many familiar people gathered together among the immortal cultivators.
In one of them, a middle-aged man wearing a soapy Taoist robe finally couldn't help complaining.
On his left side, an old man in gray robe frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Han, please be calm. This time, Senior Die Jue God Lord personally ordered that among our team leaders, there are also foundation-building monks from Huangfeng Valley. If the complaints of fellow Taoist are misunderstood as having resentment towards Senior Die Jue God Lord, hehe."
At the end of the story, the old man's sneer shocked the middle-aged man in the soap robe.
He said with a slightly blue face: "Why did I ever blame Senior Die Jue God? Fellow Daoist Fang, don't talk nonsense!"
At this time, another Taoist in the green robe also spoke, "Don't argue with fellow Taoists, two fellow Taoists, we have been familiar with each other for many years. Can you listen to Chu's words?"
The Taoist in the green robe was the main position among the three. When he spoke, the middle-aged man in the soap robe and the old man in the gray robe became quiet.
"Brother Chu, just say that."
The old man in gray robe said this, and the middle-aged man in soap robe nodded in a hurry, expressing his agreement.
"Do you two fellow Taoists still remember why we responded to the call of the Immortals and became a cultivator of the Yue Kingdom?"
"For protection?"
The middle-aged man in the soap robe thought for a while and said with a little hesitation.
The Taoist in Qinglang glanced at him and said, "Fellow Daoist Han, fellow Taoist is quite talented in the art of refining weapons. He often works in the "Xuanshi Weapon Shop". Do you still remember how many spirit stones Xuanshi gave you a few years ago?"
"January, five spirit stones..."
The middle-aged man in the soap robe turned a little ugly, as if he had recalled some bad past events.
"Five spiritual stones, how domineering the contract that Xuan asked fellow Taoists to sign? But after becoming a current immortal cultivator in Yue Kingdom, although Xuan still does not allow fellow Taoists and others to sign contracts with other artifacts, how will the treatment change?"
After hearing this, the middle-aged man in the soap robe lowered his head with a little ashamed and stopped talking.
Now in the Xuanshi Artifacts Square, his monthly salary has increased to twenty spirit stones, but his time and energy have been spent less than one-third of his previous years.
The old man with gray robe showed a look of pride, but before he could finish his pride, the Taoist of the green robe spoke again:
"But Fellow Daoist, do you really think that the protection of the Immortal Secretariat has nothing to ask for?"
The old man smiled and said, "What do you want? What can the dignified Immortal Warrior get from us? It's just a driving force today. In this world of cultivation, the strong are prey on the weak. The scattered cultivators are always in danger of being protected. Now that they can get the protection of Immortal Warrior, what's the point of paying a little?"
"It would be better to say that if there is no price at all, it would be really weird."
The Taoist in the green robe nodded and agreed with what the old man said.
"Fellow Daoist Fang is right, but the protection of the Immortals? Chu has some different opinions on the word "protection".
"In Chu's opinion, the fundamental reason for the establishment of the Immortal Cultivator's Behavior Law of Yue Kingdom is not to care about us casual cultivators. After all, even if there is no Xianshi, the six sects want to drive the Immortal Cultivator to drive the Immortal Cultivator, can we escape?"
The old man surnamed Fang frowned when he heard this, "What does Fellow Daoist Chu mean?"
The Taoist in Qinglang shook his head and smiled, "Two fellow Taoists, this world has changed. Chu couldn't say what the appearance of the Immortal Secretariat changed for a while, but what is certain is that this change has existed and has affected the entire Yue Kingdom."
…………………………
One day later, the cultivators from southern Chuzhou and Jingzhou rushed to Jianhe, three mountains and two counties under the leadership of six foundation-building monks.
According to the arrangement of the Immortal Immortal Immortal Immortal Immortal Immortal Immortality Sect, some foundation-building monks led a large-scale water-gathering formation, and together with several monks of the six sects supported, they began to arrange large-scale water-gathering formations.
Apart from its large scale, this formation that can only gather water vapor is useless to cultivators, but it has played a great role in the three mountains and two counties of Jianhe, which are affected by the drought.
Relying on the power of immortal cultivators, gathering water and rain to save mortals is the first time in the entire history of the immortal cultivator world in Tiannan.
When the long-lost rain fell from the sky, countless old farmers knelt on the ground full of dry cracks, tears filled their eyes and shouted, "The sky has eyes."
Gathering water and rainfall is just a method to treat symptoms but not root causes. Moreover, because the scope is too large, it needs to cover the two counties. The formation consumes a huge amount of spiritual stones every day, and it is not a method of long-term persistence.
Therefore, another group of foundation-building monks brought qi-cultivating monks who majored in the earth-attributed martial arts to assist the official dispatch of the Yue Kingdom to dig rivers, build water conservancy, and harness the river water to irrigate farmland.
These young and strong people are basically locals in Jianhe, Sanshan County, which were affected by the disaster. Under the guidance of the official, they paid labor at the price of food and other daily necessities. According to the above statement, this is called labor-for-relief.
When the built water network covers a certain area, the rainfall formation covering that area is removed.
In addition, because local refugees have been lost to Xinzhou and other places, under the official organization of the Yue Kingdom, the remaining civilians in the two counties have begun to move and live in areas covered by water conservancy networks.
After a month, with the efforts of tens of thousands of immortals and hundreds of thousands of civilians, the two northern counties in Yunzhou, which had been suffering and drought for a long time, have recovered again, presenting a prosperous scene.
At the same time, the Jixiansi and the Yue Kingdom began to promote the Kunlun Sect. All these things were all done by the God Lord to issue the divine enlightenment...
