Chapter 247: Monks Should Strengthen Themselves (17)
At this time, Ren Chengzhou and others were on their way south.
The taming of the demonized horses brought them new experiences. The simplest and clearest thing was that a journey that originally took three days to complete could now be easily completed in just one day.
The servants who had initially rejected the demonized horse all praised the demonized horse's abilities.
Imagine that one day demonized horses can become popular in Jiang Kingdom, so that they can save more time in their daily travels.
"It's a good idea, but demonized horses are hard to come by. It will take many years to produce them in large quantities and stably."
At least this is not a matter of overnight, but you can first treat the demonized horses as the specialty of the sect and keep them in captivity when establishing the sect.
After a brief description, Shen Yao received several pairs of sparkling eyes, and it was obvious that they were very happy.
"We can give this group of horses a name first," Ren Chengzhou tapped his wrist. They kept calling them demonized horses, so the connection would not be close. After all, the IQ of demonized horses was several times higher than that of ordinary horses.
"Let's call it Tayunma," in fact, Tayunju is more appropriate.
However, the Cloud-Stepping Horse has a pair of feather wings that can fly into the air and can easily run a hundred miles a day. The demonized horse still has a long way to go if it wants to catch up with the quality of the Cloud-Stepping Horse.
"Treading Clouds Horse? It matches them." Such a speed of travel is suitable for the word "Treading Clouds".
Since then, the demonized horse was officially named the Tayun Horse. With its reliable speed and absolute quality, the reputation of the Tayun Horse has continued to spread and won many good names.
However, these are things that happened later. At the moment, they have not returned to the capital yet. The sect’s affairs were only briefly mentioned in the letter to the capital. If they want to become famous all over the world, they can only dream about it.
……
It was July, and the weather was like a furnace.
An official post station outside Qingyang City was bustling with people.
The busy station attendants were pouring tea and water to the business travelers coming and going.
It is extremely hot today and there has been no rain since June. Not only have the crops outside the city died of drought, but even the clean water in the wells has run dry.
"Waiter, please give me another pot of herbal tea," but the first pot didn't quench my thirst at all.
Someone called out, and others followed suit, asking the waiter to serve tea.
The guy was helpless and pointed to the well water in the backyard and explained that they had no other choice as the conditions did not allow it.
"Oh, this damn weather, I don't know when it will rain."
"Stop talking about it. The governor of Qingyang City is worried about this and can't sleep at night. I heard that he even has to offer sacrifices to the river god."
"River God? That's not..." Having said this, some people didn't dare to continue the conversation.
Unless the imperial court issues an explicit ban, weird things cannot be discussed openly.
However, due to the fact that some things in recent years have been spread in an extremely miraculous way, and the fact that the previous emperor once sought the immortal way, people have relaxed a little.
However, it is only a relaxation. If officials are really asked to take the lead in practicing feudal superstition, that will not work.
Therefore, worshiping river gods and the like can only be organized spontaneously by the people. It is obviously a dream for a city governor to take the lead in doing so.
slam-la-
There was a noise outside the door, as well as the neighing of horses and the presence of people walking back and forth.
The guy who was busy in the store picked up the handkerchief on his shoulder, wiped his forehead, and went out with a smile on his face.
After a while, the waiter escorted the group into the house and upstairs with a flattering smile on his face.
The originally bustling lobby became much quieter, and everyone's eyes were focused on the people going upstairs.
嘶
Judging from the way he is dressed, he is either rich or noble.
The sensible ones started to concentrate on eating. Why are you still making a fuss at this time? Be careful not to offend the nobles and bring bad luck to yourself.
The group of people who came in were naturally Shen Yao and others. They went all the way south and finally arrived outside Qingyang City.
I didn't expect that the territory of Qingyang City is so difficult. I heard rumors on the way, but it was nothing compared to seeing it with my own eyes.
Sitting in the room to rest, Shen Yao frowned and thought about the issue of the Qingyang City boundary.
Ren Chengzhou has now made some progress in his cultivation. He has water spiritual roots and is sensitive to water vapor in the air.
The normally abundant water vapor disappeared without a trace once it entered the territory of Qingyang City.
"Did someone secretly do something? According to the layout of Qingyang City, this shouldn't be the case."
Even though there is a shortage of rainwater in Qingyang City, it is not so scarce that it is not enough for people to use water as it is now.
"We still need to go into the city to check," Shen Yao suspected that a secret treasure might have been born somewhere.
Treasures with the attributes of gold, earth and fire have a natural resistance to water vapor, and may unconsciously experience the current situation.
"There is no time to lose. Stay here for one night and go into the city tomorrow."
Their post station is thirty miles away from Qingyang City. If it were an ordinary caravan, it might take a whole day to get there, but for the Stepping Cloud Horse, it would definitely arrive tomorrow.
The two expressed their concern about the drought. They were not short of water, but there were too many people in and outside Qingyang City.
"There's no point in thinking too much, take a rest first," Ren Chengzhou patted Shen Yao on the shoulder and asked the waiter to bring some food over.
We were in such a hurry along the way that resting in the carriage was not as good as resting in a real room.
That is to say, they have made great progress in their practice, which has left them with less attention to other aspects. Otherwise, they would have been complaining and feeling tired a long time ago.
Having enjoyed life in the capital for many years, how could it be changed overnight? This was not intentional pretentiousness on their part, but a natural choice given by the body.
After a simple meal, Ren Yangyao and his three children came to Shen Yao to rest.
The family of five sat in a row, each closing their eyes and raising their hands to practice the magic techniques.
Ren Chengzhou had sorted out several copies of the jade slips obtained from the Phantom Spirit Land. The contents of the jade slips were simple, but they could quench their thirst and stimulate their appetite.
Shen Yao's criteria for selecting jade slips were relatively basic and comprehensive, especially some of the recorded techniques, which were very common in the world of cultivation.
But in a world where everything is just starting to improve, her jade slip is the most suitable.
With his hands clasped together, a bright flame appeared out of nowhere, but it dissipated in the air in an instant.
call
Exhaled
Shen Yao stood up and opened the door herself without disturbing Ren Chengzhou and his son.
There were two guards standing at the door. When they saw Shen Yao coming out, they respectfully called her "Madam".
"Has anyone come to inquire about anything during this time?" Shen Yao cast his gaze towards the corridor in the distance, while listening to the movements around him.
"Madam, I didn't see anyone else, but the shop assistant was wandering around the stairs."
It cannot be said that the waiter had any suspicion. Although this was a government-owned post station, it had long been leased to a private operator. It paid taxes to the government on time every month and did not do anything illegal, so the government basically did not interfere.
Therefore, the service attitude of an inn like this is linked to the money spent. If you want to have a good living experience, then pay for it.
Shen Yao nodded, asked one person to guard the door, and the other to go downstairs with her to check.
When I went upstairs before, I saw quite a few people in the lobby, maybe I can find out something.
Tread-tap-
The footsteps on the stairwell became more and more frequent, quieting down the lobby where only a few people were gathered.
Wu Yong was drinking the wine. He looked up and saw a woman. He blinked in a trance.
They were the group of people who went upstairs before. Judging from the way they were dressed, they actually came to Qingyang City to suffer. All the masters of the city's wealthy families were running away with their families.
Shaking his head, Wu Yong swallowed the unpleasant-tasting wine in his mouth, then picked up a soybean and put it into his mouth to chew.
Feeling that there was no rain this time due to the drought, the poor harvest might affect the autumn grain, Wu Yong continued to raise his head and take a sip of wine to quench his thirst.
"Brother, I want to ask you something..."
Wu Yong raised his eyes and his expression changed to a smile. It was the person who followed that woman and he could not afford to offend him.
Shen Yao simply asked the shop assistant for information and ordered some midnight snacks at the same time.
Seeing a customer coming, the waiter showed his good professionalism and basically answered whatever Shen Yao asked.
Nodding with satisfaction, Shen Yao took out some change and asked him to help feed the horses in the backyard, then turned around and went back to the room.
Ren Chengzhou and his two sons have finished their training and are exercising in the room.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ren Chengzhou saw that it was Shen Yao, and hurriedly handed over a glass of water.
Shen Yao reached out to take it and mentioned some of the information she had found out.
Just as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. It was the guard who had gone downstairs with her before and also got the information out.
"So, there really is a river god in Qingyang Lake?"
After hearing so much information, Ren Chengzhou concluded that they all had to go around the Qingyang Lake outside Qingyang City.
“I don’t know if there is a river god, but there must be something wrong with Qingyang Lake.”
Qingyang Lake experienced three dry-ups in June, but returned to normal overnight. However, the amount of water in the lake decreased visibly.
Pinching her wrist, Shen Yao felt that as long as she searched Qingyang Lake thoroughly, the drought problem in Qingyang City might be solved.
Search again?!
"Host, are you going to try this secretly?" "It's very dangerous."
The system hesitated to speak, wanting to persuade its host, but afraid that if it spoke too much it would be linked to the world consciousness.
The previous dragon-patterned treasure tree was a lesson, and the system no longer dared to speak carelessly.
However, the system didn't dare to do it, but Shen Yao thought it was nothing. She looked through the long box she had buried, and after searching inside, she confirmed that there really was a technique that allowed her to breathe water.
However, this technique has some flaws. Once a person enters the water, the technique can only last for a quarter of an hour. Unless the person uses the technique again after a quarter of an hour, he or she can only return to the shore.
After resting for a night at the post station, early the next morning, before the sun rose completely, a group of people headed towards Qingyang City in a mighty manner.
The speed of the Stepping Cloud Horses was already impeccable, and Shen Yao also secretly fed them some spiritual herbs. As a result, they ran even faster than the wind, and in a short while they successfully arrived in Qingyang City.
They arrived quite early, so they tidied up at the inn, had some food, and went to Qingyang Lake in the afternoon.
We continued on our journey on the Cloud Horse, and by the time we arrived at Qingyang Lake, the sun had already set.
Leaving the guards and three children guarding the car, Shen Yao and Ren Chengzhou went over to check things out.
"The soil around the lake has dried up. People say that Qingyang Lake covers the entire mountain forest during the rainy season," but now there is only yellow mud soup outside. You have to walk hundreds of meters inside to see the slightly clear lake water.
The water from Qingyang Lake supplies the entire Qingyang City. Even though it is late, there are still people queuing up to fetch water.
Shen Yao and Ren Chengzhou walked along the path they had trampled until they saw a human figure in front of them.
After looking at each other, the two sides started to make hand gestures, and with the transparent screen covering their bodies, they dived into the Qingyang Lake in front of them.
'Host, this is too dangerous.'
The system jumped out and felt it necessary to talk to its host. What if there was a big boss hiding at the bottom of the lake? Wouldn't they die before they even achieved success?
Shen Yao:......
"Spiritual awareness can be used to investigate. Besides, although my body is damaged, my abilities are still there." She had checked before entering the water, otherwise how would she dare to jump in.
Besides, Ren Chengzhou and his team also took some protective measures and carried all the props they could equip with them to ensure the safety of both parties to the greatest extent possible.
While bickering with the system, the two men swam toward the bottom of the lake at a faster speed.
Qingyang Lake is indeed a lake that can support Qingyang City. The bottom of the lake cannot be explored even a few dozen meters downstream.
The water color has slowly changed from light green to dark green, and the color becomes darker as you go down, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
He took out a night-shining pearl that could be used to illuminate something. It was a treasure that could be found on the market, specially supplied to the royal family of the Jiang Kingdom.
Ren Chengzhou touched Shen Yao's wrist lightly and pointed gently at the school of fish coming downstream.
It is much larger than a normal school of fish, with the largest leader being about the length of a person.
The two of them tacitly avoided the school of fish, then activated the invisibility talismans on their bodies and swam straight towards a darker and more enclosed space.
Hula la——
When the light screen on their bodies solidified again, the two finally touched the bottom of the lake.
The bottom of the lake is uneven, with everything on it, even shipwrecks from years past.
"Go to the front"
Shen Yao said three words silently, and the two of them moved slowly, one in front and one behind.
Outside, it was getting dark and the people who came out to fetch water had already left. Ren Yangyao and his two children couldn't help but walk back and forth beside the carriage.
"Brother, Dad and Mom haven't come back yet, should we go over and check on them?"
"Brother, Dad and Mom might be delayed by something. Let's go over and help them."
Ren Yangzhuo and Ren Yangjue moved forward without any idea in their minds, not thinking that if Shen Yao and Ren Chengzhou couldn't handle it, they would just be serving as a burden even if they went over.
Ren Yangyao was reliable. He reached out and patted his two younger brothers’ heads. “Dad and Mom will be fine. Let’s wait patiently.”
He thought to himself that if something really happened, he would take his two younger brothers and leave back to the capital.
Dad always said that we must have the courage to make decisive decisions. This lake doesn't look simple. They brothers can't handle it, and they can't go up there and die in vain.
Ren Yangyao couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts, and unable to sit still, he started looking for things to do.
The guards who are protecting them cannot be disturbed as it would distract them and affect their judgment.
Ren Yangyao touched the docile Tafeng horse and began to chat with the horse.
The longer time passed, the more impatient the people in the team became.
When Ren Yangzhuo and Ren Yangjue called Ren Yangyao's name one after another, Ren Yangyao suggested returning to Qingyang City first.
This was what Shen Yao and Ren Chengzhou had arranged before they left. They couldn't let three little kids wait in the wilderness all night.
"Brother, but father and mother haven't come back yet," Ren Yangzhuo didn't want to leave.
"Dad and Mom will be back, we're just going back to Qingyang City first."
Let Yang Yao bite his tongue and leave, and the others will naturally obey Yang Yao's orders.
The stationary carriage began to move forward, and after a few steps, an explosion was suddenly heard behind it.
