How to break into Liaozhai

Weizhi County has been very busy recently. First, the madam of Yumanlou reported to the police that two guests had disappeared alone in the room.

Later, a relative of the Nie family wrote to inquire about the whereabouts of Nie Xuetai's family, saying that under normal circumstances, the family should go to their hometown, but they have not been seen for a long time.

In the previous case, Weizhi County sent arresters to investigate, but found nothing. After all, there was not even a corpse, and it was not sure whether they were dead or not. After a routine inquiry, the matter was shelved.

As for the disappearance of Nie Xuetai's family, the magistrate of Wei spent a lot of money and sent all the servants under his command. However, because a period of time has passed, the inspections and investigations did not yield any results.

Moreover, it has been raining heavily recently, obliterating many roads, seriously affecting the police officers' search for news.

Because of the heavy rain, the academy gave everyone a holiday, saying that classes would resume after the weather cleared.

When Wang Rui heard the news, he refused in his heart. He rarely wanted to read books to distract himself from his irritability, but God did not give him this opportunity.

He sat in front of the desk, propped his chin with one hand, and flipped through the Cheng Wen given to him by Nie Xuetai with the other. He revisited the few chapters he had memorized before he became a sheep, but his mind was not on the book, and he was distracted frequently. He Yunyi at this moment Where will it be?Didn't he just leave and never come again?

Alas, he shook his head to dispel distracting thoughts, and looked up at the sky. When will the rain really fall?There was no thunder, no lightning, and no strong wind. The rain just fell like this, occasionally stopping for a few hours, and then continued to fall. It seemed that this area had become a big bathtub that was constantly filled with water.

At dinner, Wang Rui found that his father's face was not good. It's normal to be bad. The Wang family is a big landlord. The heavy rain kept causing floods, and the grain fields were destroyed. If the tenant farmers have no harvest this year, the Wang family as landlords will also suffer. , The tenant farmers went bankrupt and had no money to pay the land rent, and the Wang family could never pick up the house and raise the cows. They usually agreed to owe it and pay it back together in the next year.

In any case, if the rain does not stop, this year must be a big loss.

Although Wang Rui held up an umbrella, his trousers were still wet after walking back to his yard from his parents, showing the heavy rain.

He believes that at this moment, countless farmers are looking up at the sky and hoping for a clear weather.

If this is the manifestation of the rain god, I hope he will quickly withdraw his supernatural powers. Wang Rui was taken aback. Isn't rain the Dragon King's specialty?Could it be that some divine dragon is showing its power in this heavy rain?

Dragon, didn't he happen to know one? He called Bai Qiyuan and asked him to go up and ask this friend of the same kind of dragon what he was going to do, and if he could not only pick Yangxin County for rain.

Wang Rui remembered that Bai Qiyuan gave him a scale, took it out and wiped it with his sleeve, thinking silently, Bai Qiyuan will appear soon.

After reading it, there was no change in the surrounding area, he thought uneasy, is this all right?Just to be on the safe side, do you have to read it a few times?

Bai Qiyuan, Bai Qiyuan, come quickly, I'll prepare roasted swallows for you to eat.

After repeating it several times, Wang Rui put away the scales and waited to see if Bai Qiyuan could come to the door tomorrow.

-

In Lanruo Temple, the head monk braved the heavy rain and ran to the door of Abbot Shikong's Zen room, out of breath, said: "Abbot, another group of disaster victims have come to the temple to escape the disaster."

Shi Kong rolled the rosary, closed his eyes and said quietly: "Didn't you tell them that there is no place for them in the temple?"

The county magistrate prevented refugees from entering the city and caused problems, and resettled the victims outside the city as much as possible. Lanruo Temple became a designated resettlement site. Before the county government sent people to force Lanruo Temple to open the door to welcome a group of victims. Now the main hall is full of Disaster victims with their families.

A lot of nearby villages were washed away, and the villagers who escaped by chance urgently needed shelter from the rain. It was not surprising that Lanruo Temple was chosen.

But after all, Lanruo Temple has limited space and plenty of rations, and now the load has reached its limit, so it is impossible to take in these later people.

"I said it, but they insisted on breaking into the temple."

"Is the temple gate open?"

"It's closed, but they knocked on the door and overturned the courtyard wall." The head monk said worriedly: "We don't have much food, it's hard enough to feed these people in the monastery, and it's really overwhelmed by people who come again. "

The abbot closed his eyes for a long time, and finally made a decision: "Let's let them in. They will leave naturally after eating the food. Now stop them and stop the hungry wolves and tigers. The county magistrate will not be able to explain it. We will eat up our Lanruo Temple. Only then will the county magistrate find another place for them."

Hearing this, the head monk raised his breath and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and left again in the rain.

The abbot read aloud: "Amitabha."

The rain washed the earth, and the space between the sky and the earth was white.

The heavy rain didn't subside a little until the middle of the night, and it was only a little bit. Without an umbrella, I couldn't walk a few steps before I was drenched completely.

In the torrential rain, a man was walking hard in the muddy water with his old father on his back. He saw Lanruo Temple in front of him and smiled gratifiedly.

After being saved, they can have a place to live. Now they have nothing to ask for, as long as they have a place to shelter from the rain, they are satisfied.

Suddenly there was a flood, and the river rushed up to the embankment and destroyed the house. Except for his old father, nothing was rescued, but it was good for people to be alive.

"Hey, what are you doing saving my old bone? How about saving our old scalper, and when the flood is over, he can plow the land for you."

"Father, don't talk about it." The son wiped the water stains on his face, there were rain and tears.

Suddenly, he felt something icy wrapped around his ankle. He struggled, but found that the entanglement became tighter. The moment he lowered his head, something on his feet pulled him backwards with force. go.

Numerous tree branches clung to his body, wrapping him and his father tightly, and the two of them disappeared under the big locust tree with only a slight cry.

The heavy rain continued without a trace.

Grandma licked her lips eagerly. The most delicious thing in the world is human beings. Perhaps she absorbed the relationship with the old demon of Montenegro. She had a desire for blood that she had never had before. The blood of this father and son is not enough for her. Between the teeth, she needs more, more.

The big locust tree quietly stretched out its rhizomes in the night rain, slipped in through the door of the temple, and went straight to the main hall.

A woman holding a child was leaning against the pillar. She closed her eyes and gently patted the baby in her arms. Suddenly, she felt the baby shaking violently. When she opened her eyes, she saw a tree branch sticking into the baby. In the mouth, the branches seem to have blood vessels, and you can actually see the red blood flowing to the branches.

She was stupefied with fright, and when she regained her senses she was about to scream, another tree root pierced her mouth, and she struggled.

The fleeing victims in the Daxiong Palace all fell asleep exhausted, and no one noticed anything unusual.

Only piles of powder were found in the hall the next morning. Everyone couldn't figure out why, so they didn't think about it. After all, it was more important to get the rice porridge later.

Grandma looked at the group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and thanked the heavy rain in her heart. No matter who rained it, it was her benefactor who brought the group of victims to her hunting range.

After Wang Rui got up in the morning, he saw that there was no sign of clearing, and he didn't even care about eating, so he took out the scale and shook it loudly: "Bai Qiyuan, Bai Qiyuan, come quickly, I will treat you to eat swallows."

"Where is the swallow?" A white light flew in.

He turned around in surprise, and saw Bai Qiyuan sitting at the table, smiling and looking at him with his hands on his chin.

Wang Rui greeted him with a pleasant smile: "I want to invite you to eat swallows, but the weather is not sunny, and the swallow catchers can't work. Can you help me go up and see which dragon is making the rain, and can you show your hand , told the rain to stop."

Bai Qiyuan didn't feel He Yunyi's aura, and guessed that he was not here, so he said to Wang Rui restlessly: "If there is no swallow, I can eat you."

"..." Wang Rui frowned slightly, he had an old problem, didn't he: "Just wait a moment." He turned around and fetched the stone that Huang Jiulang gave him recently, and handed it to Bai Qiyuan: "Can you hold it?"

Bai Qiyuan took it readily: "Is there anything I can't hold?" He held it tightly in his hand.

I saw the stone slowly changing color, and in a blink of an eye, it showed a purple color.

Purple represents desire, Shitou does not deceive me, Wang Rui shook his head helplessly, you are really an honest dragon, you are the same inside and outside.

Bai Qiyuan didn't understand the function of this stone, but it was quite strange to see the discoloration, so he played with it for a while: "Why do you ask me to hold this stone?"

"It's nothing. It is said that this stone can identify non-human beings. I'll try to see if it's true." Wang Rui lied and took the stone back. It can't be said that this stone can also identify perverts.

He is a dragon, not a human being, so has the stone changed color?Bai Qiyuan didn't want to worry about Shitou anymore, and asked Wang Rui: "You asked me to come, and you didn't tell me that there were no swallows, and you didn't even dedicate yourself, so you can't play me like this."

At this time, the maids saw that Wang Rui hadn't come out to eat, so they brought breakfast over. As soon as they entered the room, Bai Qiyuan followed them: "Your servants are so beautiful, much more beautiful than my group of mussels."

Wang Rui hurriedly sent the maid out, fearing that she would be kicked out too late, and Bai Qiyuan would kill her: "There will be swallows, but they can only be caught on sunny days. Why don't you help us find out why the heavy rain doesn't stop."

"You asked me to come, but you didn't treat me well. I don't want to move. Just as soon as He Yun is away, you agree."

What does it have to do with He Yunyi's presence or not?However, it seems that He Yunyi is indeed quite hostile towards Bai Qiyuan...

Wang Rui shook his head, not when he was thinking about these things, he had to ask Bai Qiyuan to contribute, otherwise the whole city would be flooded, he looked at Bai Qiyuan sadly, what should we do with you, suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, Got an idea.

"I'll take you to a good place, and you'll be satisfied."

Bai Qiyuan smiled and said: "If you are not satisfied, you can come in person."

"If you are not satisfied, you can go back." Wang Rui said mercilessly: "However, let's go and have a look first."

Due to the continuous rainstorm in Yumanlou, business was sluggish, and there was not a single guest in the huge hall, so when Wang Rui arrived with Bai Qiyuan, almost all the girls came out to welcome him.

Wang Rui looked around the hall: "It's really deserted."

"It's not deserted, it's not deserted, Young Master Wang alone can support a hundred guests." The old bustard flattered with a smile on his face, and looked at Bai Qiyuan next to him: "This young master seems to have never been here before."

Bai Qiyuan glanced at Yingying and Yanyan in front of him. He had strolled on the streets of human beings before, but there were not many women on the streets, and some of them were older, and then he was not very interested in the human world.

It's amazing here, there are so many beautiful young women looking at Wang Rui with sparkling eyes: "Where is this place?"

Wang Rui ignored him, and only said to the bustard: "Tell the girls to lead my friend to have a good time, money is not a problem."

He just likes customers like Wang Rui who "money is not a problem". The old bustard immediately smiled and said, "Daughters, do you hear that? What are you still doing? Take the young master to the elegant room upstairs."

Bai Qiyuan looked good, the girls liked him so much, they all hugged him upstairs with a smile, he asked Wang Rui as he walked, "Aren't you coming?"

Only when you're crazy, Wang Rui said with a smile: "I'll wait for you here, don't worry, since you're here, you have to enjoy yourself." Watching Bai Qiyuan go upstairs, he ordered a pot of tea to drink slowly.

The money spent on Bai Qiyuan should be reimbursed with public funds.

The heavy rain continued until Bai Qiyuan went downstairs to his heart's content. At this time, Wang Rui had already found an empty room and fell asleep because of too much time. Looking at his sleeping face, Bai Qiyuan suddenly felt something in his heart I wanted to do something, but thought that Wang Rui didn't want to, so I brought myself to play. I'm a good man, I can't make things difficult for him, and he pays attention to what you like, and if you don't want to, he doesn't force it.

Wang Rui was pushed awake by him, and he said sleepily: "... When is it?"

Bai Qiyuan smiled energetically: "No matter when, I'll go up to have a look, you wait for me here." He opened the window and flew against the heavy rain into the clouds.

Wang Rui suddenly felt that Bai Qiyuan was a really nice person, and he was not ambiguous in taking advantage of benefits. He hoped that Bai Qiyuan would say good things and stop the heavy rain after seeing his friends from the Dragon Clan.

Even if the heavy rain is decreed by the heavens and cannot stop, please give it a rest day so that everyone can have something to look forward to.

Soon Bai Qiyuan returned to the house: "It's strange, there is no rain dragon on it, we didn't do it, just wait, I'll ask again." After that, he flew out of the window again, this time he went for a long time, It took half an hour to come back.

As soon as he landed, he said angrily: "I asked, you have a Jiao here, it rains heavily and makes the river swell, and swims into the sea with the flood to transform the dragon."

"Jiao?" Wang Rui was completely unexpected: "Is it going into the sea?"

"There are always guys who are not willing to be mediocre to do things. Snakes who are not willing to be snakes practice for 500 years and become dragons. After 500 years, they enter the sea and become dragons. I really can't stand these guys. Carps are fine. There is no harm in jumping into the dragon's gate. Helping the bastard snakes and dragons cause trouble every time they transform into dragons."

Bai Qiyuan, who was born with a dragon clan, has a strong aversion to this group of lower races who want to change their destiny.

Wang Rui understands the desire of the carp and the big snake to become a dragon. Who doesn't want to make progress, but this progress is too harmful to the world, so we must stop it: "Do you have a way? When the weather clears, I will really give you roasted swallows. "

Jiaolong wants to go into the ocean and transform into a dragon. It's sad when you think about it. It's like someone who desperately wants to integrate into a high-level group regardless of the cost. But in fact, the people in that high-level group reject him and don't want him to join at all.

"If you want to transform into a dragon, let's dream! Our real dragons don't welcome it!" Bai Qiyuan snorted, "Remember to burn the swallow first, and eat this guy after cleaning up!" After saying that, he flew out.

Wang Rui looked out and saw that Bai Qiyuan was no longer there, so he shouted to the sky: "I'll wait for you at home!" I don't know if he heard it.

He settled Bai Qiyuan's expenses with the bustard, paid the bill, and went home.

At the gate of Wang's house, the servants are carrying sandbags to strengthen the man-made waterproof embankment around the gate and the courtyard wall. Because there has been news that the river water has poured into the city, the major families have already started to build waterproof dikes around their homes, but today there is non-stop river water. Wang Yongde was worried about the news of entering the city, and ordered the housekeeper to raise the sand pile.

Wang Rui thought worriedly, if the flood flooded into the city, the sand dike might not work, and it would depend on Bai Qiyuan.

At this time Wei Xingxian sent someone to invite him, saying that the flood was coming soon and they were all at Lanruo Temple, and he was invited to go to the city gate tower to have a look.

As the tallest building in the city, it doesn't matter. Don't try to go up casually. This will be another critical moment when the flood enters the city. There will be a sea of ​​people who want to go up to observe the situation. Thanks to Wei Xingxian's relationship, Wang Rui was able to climb up.

He stood on the city gate tower, watching the river water continuously pouring into the city, his heart ached.

The rain is still falling, and the flood is still rising. It is only a matter of time before it enters the city, but how much water is poured into the river is crucial.

The magistrate of Wei County ordered people to pile up sand piles around the city wall, wondering if they could withstand the flooding and impact of the flood, hoping to stop the flood and protect the safety of the city.

Huang Jiulang looked at Wang Rui, don't worry, if there is a real flood, I will definitely arrange your family to a safe place.

Wang Rui looked up at the sky, Bai Qiyuan, it's all up to you.

-

Bai Qiyuan went straight to Longxing Bridge. According to the nearby river god, Jiaolong was going to pass by here tonight. He glanced at the belly of the bridge and wondered in his heart. According to the construction specifications and location of the bridge, there should be a dragon-slaying sword.

Waters without a river god like this are very likely to be chosen by Jiao as a channel to enter the sea, because it is not allowed to pass through places guarded by the river god.

If the sword is still there, when the Jiao passes by, it will break its morality and tell it to go back and become a snake obediently.

The river surged and flooded the embankment, and the farmland on both sides became flooded, watery, and the houses in the distance were soaked in the river water, which was very desolate.

A wave of torrents rushed in, like a towering water wall, and behind the water wall were two lights like red lanterns, presumably the eyes of Jiao.

The river water was brick red and turbid. Bai Qiyuan was very dissatisfied with the water quality, so he jumped down pinching his nose and turned into a giant dragon to stop the advancing evil dragon.

Jiao has investigated, and the most dangerous part of this road belongs to this place. It has entrusted human beings to steal the Dragon Slaying Sword in a dream, and now it will be unimpeded and invincible.

It looked at it from a distance, and there was no protruding long sword under the bridge. It laughed triumphantly, and rushed towards the bridge with all its strength.

It rained heavily for several days to create a flood to send it into the sea. It has waited 1000 years for this moment, no matter how much it pays, it is worth it.

1000 years ago, it was just a mediocre little snake. After continuous practice, it became a jiao, but now it will fulfill the extravagant wish of countless snakes - entering the sea and turning into a dragon.

Now as a Jiao, it can swim in rivers and rivers, and it can call the wind and rain, but it cannot fly against the wind. Only by incarnating as a real dragon can it fly through the clouds and ride the fog.

All of this is obtained by its own hard work. It wants to become a noble dragon, and no longer be a little snake or an evil dragon that is looked down upon by others.

Once you cross the bridge, the rest of the journey is much easier.

The sea, here I come!

Suddenly, it noticed a countercurrent wave in front of it, and when it was wondering, it saw a white dragon roaring out from the bottom of the water, standing half of its body in front of it.

Jiao was stunned, why is there a real dragon here: "Who are you?"

Bai Qiyuan spit out a mouthful of water onto its face, pooh pooh: "Just because you want to transform into a dragon? Look at the fact that this place has been harmed by you, immediately get the hell out of where you came from!"

Jiao has been working for this moment for thousands of years, how can he back down: "Get out of the way! I must enter the sea! No matter what the price is! I don't care who you are, you have become a dragon yourself, but you want to stop me?"

"Haha, I was born to be a dragon, so I don't need a little practice like you, it's useless." Bai Qiyuan showed a sense of superiority.

"You, since you don't practice, how can you know my pain?!" Jiao said angrily, "Get out of the way, or I won't be polite to you!"

It has mixed feelings in its heart, the most bitter being sour. The other party is a natural dragon. It has worked hard for 1000 years to transform into a dragon, and it has been born since it was born.

Not only that, but it's unforgivable that this guy who has everything wants to hinder his own advancement.

Bai Qiyuan laughed loudly: "It's up to you if you're welcome?!" Before he finished laughing, he was hit on the neck, causing it to turn over in pain, causing a huge wave.

Bai Qiyuan was in pain, and felt that Jiao was scratching its belly with sharp claws, trying to tear it open.It couldn't stop cursing in its heart, took a deep breath of river water, and sprayed out all the river water as hailstones.

Only then did Jiao realize that real dragons can also make hailstones, and he was a little confused.

Bai Qiyuan shook off his tail and slapped it several times: "How dare you bite me?" Then the front claws hooked into Jiao's back like hooks, and slowly rose into the air.

Jiao panicked, the white dragon wanted to throw himself to death: "I give up, I will go back to the original station."

"And do it again in 500 years? You think I'm stupid!"

Bai Qiyuan gritted his teeth. This guy is really heavy. He took the dragon into the sky and flew to the sky.

Jiao had never left the ground before, and suddenly lifted into the air, seeing the buildings on the ground getting smaller and smaller, he couldn't help feeling dizzy, and his body twisted and twisted like an earthworm.

Bai Qiyuan climbed up to the sky, suddenly loosened his claws, and threw the jiao down. He stayed there for a while, and then flew down to see a big hole appeared under the cliff in the barren mountain, and the jiao had been smashed to pieces.

It snorted disdainfully, turned around and flew back to the Xinglong Bridge. At this time, the heavy rain had stopped. It pinched its nose and took a few deep breaths of the river water. It came to the uninflated waters with its mouth in it, and spit it out regardless.

After repeating this several times, the water level plummeted, and the submerged houses of fertile fields reappeared.

"Bah, bah, bah!" As it flew back, it spat a few times. It doesn't normally drink water from waters under its jurisdiction.

-

Wang Rui and the others were on the top of the city gate, seeing the flood coming. Except for him, Wei Zhixian father and son shook their heads in despair, especially Wei Zhixian had already begun to plan for disaster relief and dredging after the flood receded.

He placed the refugees in Lanruo Temple to protect the main city. Now it seems that the main city cannot be kept.

Suddenly, when the flood was about to touch the sand embankment, it miraculously began to retreat rapidly, and everyone couldn't help but doubt their eyes: "Retreat, retreat?"

"It seems that since just now...the rain hasn't fallen much..." Wei Xingxian said with a smile, "It's backed up, that's right, the flood has receded."

The people on the tower erupted in cheers, thanking God for his blessing.

Wang Rui said: "I'll go home and tell them the good news." He went down the tower and rushed home.

Sure enough, as soon as he pushed open the door of his bedroom, he saw Bai Qiyuan rinsing his mouth with tea: "I tell you there will be no next time, the river water here makes my mouth smell weird, bah bah bah."

If it wasn't for Bai Qiyuan's nature, Wang Rui really wanted to go up and hold his hand: "You are the savior of our city."

Bai Qiyuan twitched the corners of his mouth: "Forget about the savior or something, just burn Yanzi and the girl."

Wang Rui thought, you have changed from a white dragon who only wants to burn swallows to a white dragon who wants to burn swallows and girls.

"Okay, no problem!" He readily agreed, "It's a trivial matter."

"But that's all I've done to help here. There's nothing I can do for the God of Plague and the God of Poverty."

"The God of Plague and the God of Poverty?"

"After the flood, there must be plague and extreme poverty, and these two gods will definitely come." Bai Qiyuan said: "Don't you know?"

"...Now I know." Wang Rui opened his mouth slightly and replied weakly.

Survival is really hard.
