Free runs like an antelope, jumping very high. It jumps over many weeds in the loess desert with ease. Every step it takes to hit the ground stirs up a few bits of yellow sand.

However, the pursuers behind him were also chasing after him.

Occasionally, arrows were shot and nailed to the ground.

I don’t know whether it was due to a sudden illness and seeking medical attention, or because it sensed the true nature of the Taoist, or because it recognized the swallow in the sky. Youliang quickly ran to the Taoist with his pursuers, and then hid directly behind the Taoist and the bay-red horse.

Stop and stop running.

The calico cat turned around and stared at it in confusion.

Youli stood behind the Taoist, stretched his neck, stuck his head out from behind the Taoist, and stared ahead silently.

"Xu..."

The pursuers behind them quickly reined in their horses. They sat on the horses and looked at the Taoist and the spirits behind them. They either frowned or were wary, and all looked at the yellow-robed monk at the front.

The leading monk got off his horse.

The rest of the people also quickly got off their horses, immediately adjusted their positions, and surrounded Song You and others with weapons in hand. However, their eyes might be aimed at Song You, but the weapons were not aimed at him, but at the person hiding behind him.

That monster.

"Amitabha……"

The leading fat monk looked at Song You and his entourage and saluted him: "The poor monk's religious name is Xuanhua. He is the abbot and abbot of Xuanbi Temple in Shanan County, Ye County, Longzhou. You are polite."

"My surname is Song, and my name is You. I am a Taoist from Youfang. You are polite."

Song You also returned the favor.

This monk looks to be in his thirties or forties, with big hanging ears. He is suffering from the bitter cold in the northwest, the scorching sun, the yellow sand, and the north wind. However, his face is as white as jade. Although his facial features cannot be said to be very good-looking, they give people an impression of him at first glance.

It's a very comfortable feeling, the same as when Sanhua Empress and Swallow turned into human form. You can tell that it's extraordinary at a glance.

The abbot of the Hanging Wall Temple indicates that he is the head of the temple, and the abbot indicates that he also has a very high prestige in the local Buddhist temple.

Song You paused for a moment, turned around and glanced at the swallow on the horse's head, and at the spirit, and then asked them: "Why are you chasing a spirit here?"

As soon as he said these words, everyone knew from his expression and tone that this Taoist was extraordinary.

"Is Taoist Master Song a foreigner?"

"Yizhou people come from traveling."

"Taoist Master Song didn't know something. This year when Longzhou, Shazhou and the Western Regions suffered severe drought, it was this monster that did it." Master Xuanhua said, "At the invitation of the governor of Longzhou, we have been looking for it for a long time.

We finally found it recently, please give way to the Taoist priest and let us capture it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the spirit behind him immediately let out a low-pitched cry. The sound was ethereal, as if it was in a deep valley and had its own resonance.

Several warriors were either startled or even more vigilant.

The Taoist who was close to it didn't seem to hear it, and just asked: "How does the master know that the drought is caused by it?"

"Historical books record that there were several severe droughts in the northwest, and it was traced every time." Master Xuanhua also said humbly, "There is a book that said that it was the cause of drought."

"Is there any record of its name in the book?"

"It's called a landluer."

"That's wrong."

Song You, however, looked calm, shook his head and said: "This beast is called Youli, and it is just an elf born between heaven and earth. Although it does often appear with natural disasters, it is actually weak and does not have the ability to travel thousands of miles on dry land, nor does it bring natural disasters.

.If you have a clear vision, you can use it to know about natural disasters and avoid disasters. However, if you think that natural disasters are caused by it, think that killing it can eliminate natural disasters, and place your hope of fighting natural disasters on this, it is a big mistake.

Very wrong."

"this……"

Master Xuanhua wanted to refute, but seeing that what he said was very sincere and convincing, and that he really had no real evidence, he was stuck.

However, a young monk behind him whispered:

"Could this man be bewitched?"

When Master Xuanhua heard this, he just tilted his head slightly, waved his hand towards him, and then asked sincerely: "Where did these Taoist priests hear it from?"

"My ancestor has verified it."

"..."

Master Xuanhua thought for a moment, put his hands together and asked, "Does the Taoist want to persuade us to let the landluer go?"

"This is not an easy task. To be honest, along the way, I saw the severe drought in the northwest and the suffering of the people. I couldn't bear it. I have been thinking about how to deal with it in recent days."

Song You's tone was gentle, polite and very sincere.

As he spoke, he looked back at the monster.

The spirit was about the same size as a sheep, and its figure was unusually slender and slender, giving people a sense of elegance and agility. Its eyes were very clear, and it was staring at him unblinkingly.

"But Youliang is not the culprit of the drought. What's more, I was hungry and thirsty along the way. Thanks to it, I found the water source, which shows that it is kind-hearted. If the master really catches it and kills it,

It means destroying a pure life. If the master later finds out that the drought has not stopped after killing it, but has become more serious, perhaps his whole practice will be ruined by doubts and uneasiness day and night in the future."

"..."

These words are truly sincere.

When Master Xuanhua heard this, he was silent for a long time.

After the silence, he first saluted Song You, and then asked: "What method does the Taoist master have to control the drought?"

"I've been curious for the past few days, is there no god here who controls the weather?"

"There was actually a rain god..."

"How to say?"

"It's just that in recent years, the weather has been good in Shazhou, Longzhou, and the water and grass are even very abundant in some places. As a result, there are many fewer people worshiping the God of Rain." Master Xuanhua couldn't help but pause for a moment before saying,

"Moreover, the Rain God is a Taoist deity. In recent years, Longzhou has been lucky. Many people in Shazhou have begun to believe in our Buddha. At this time, we offer incense and pray to the Rain God. How can the Rain God pay attention to us so easily?"

"That's true..."

Although gods come from humans and should serve humans, gods do have their own thoughts after all. If they have thoughts, they have character, temper, and stance, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many immoral gods.

In the past, when the water and grass were plentiful, we did not provide food for others, and even gradually turned to Buddhism. Now that the world is in trouble, we have to ask people to come out to work. How can it be so easy?

Once the drought is over, will people lose their homes again?

There is no such thing.

If it were not a god with great virtues, then any ordinary god would have to wait on the sidelines for a long time, waiting for the people to suffer enough, and wait for the people to realize his importance again. No matter what, he would take advantage of this disaster to absorb enough

Only if you have incense will you consider going out to do things.

Song You thought for a while and then said: "If there is a altar for incense tables, I am willing to convince him."

"I'm afraid it's not that easy."

"I am good at persuading others."

"..."

Master Xuanhua thinks this is true.

Most people who practice Buddhism have exquisite and clear eyes. From what he saw and felt at this time, although this Taoist was not an eloquent person, he spoke clearly and clearly. In addition, his tone was sincere and polite, and he communicated sincerely.

Naturally, it is easy for people to accept.

"I just heard that Lord Zhizhou also asked Taoists to set up an incense altar and asked the rain god to help, but no one could do it."

"I am also good at inviting gods."

"Is Taoist Master so confident?"

"I am not very famous among the gods in the Heavenly Palace, so I want to give it a try."

"I see……"

Master Xuanhua looked at him sometimes, and sometimes looked at Li Li behind him, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

At this moment, another voice came from beside him:

"Has the fine seed from Yanxian been passed here?"

It was a young and clean voice, obviously not coming from this Taoist.

Everyone followed the sound and were shocked when they saw that the source of the sound was actually the swallow standing above the horse.

Even the two young monks behind Master Xuanhua were surprised and stared at Yanzi warily.

Only Master Xuanhua remained calm and respectfully replied:

"The fine seeds of Yanxian have been spread to Longzhou."

"I am the descendant of Yanxian Anqing." The swallow's mouth opened and closed, and a human voice came from it, but the voice was small, and it was a little trembling if you listened carefully, "As long as my husband offers incense and invites me, there are less gods in the heavenly palace who dare to come than I can count on both hands.

There will never be more than three gods who dare not respond."

When everyone heard this, they were all frightened.
