I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 526 Incense is not for free

"I know that this is the general trend of heaven and earth, and it will evolve naturally." Song You was still respectful and polite, "It's just that the Great Immortal, as the local god in charge of wind and rain, has the ability to adjust wind and rain. If he is willing to take action, although he cannot go against the natural changes of the general trend of heaven and earth, he can It can also make the local people feel much better and save a lot of deaths."

"This……"

Immortal Hu Mu didn't dare to refuse, but he didn't want to agree readily. He hesitated for a moment before saying: "It's not that the little god is unwilling, but he is actually old and frail. He has not had enough incense for many years, and his divine power has seriously declined. In Shazhou and Longzhou, The land is vast and there are tens of millions of people, but the little god is powerless..."

"Have you had enough of the immortal incense in the past year?"

"..."

Hanging on a high platform in the middle of the mountain, the night wind blows, and the eyes of the gods and Taoists, who are covered in divine light, intersect.

Both knew what the other meant.

Previously, due to the favorable wind and rain in the northwest, there was no lack of land with abundant water and grass. The local people often neglected this god who was in charge of wind and rain, causing his power to fade and his body to become unstable. Naturally, he was dissatisfied.Now that the northwest region is suffering from a severe drought, people want to invite him out again and ask him to work hard, but naturally he is not willing to agree easily.

This is relatively normal.

However, this also shows from the side that during the good years in the past, even though this god was dissatisfied, he did not use his divine power to have counterproductive effects in order to gather incense.Otherwise, with his divine power, even in years with abundant rain, he could simply divert the rainwater away from the areas where the people live, or bring all the rainwater together, which would be enough to embarrass the people and prevent the incense from being depleted for many years.

Obviously he is not a god with great virtues, but he has not harmed people's livelihood.

Therefore Song You was polite to him.

Now he was reminded that this year has entered autumn, and the severe drought has passed for more than half a year, absorbing the incense for most of the year. Whether he wants to take this opportunity to have a full meal first, or he wants the local people to remember the horror of the drought and his The role of a god, even to vent dissatisfaction, is almost the same.

"This……"

But Hu Mu Daxian still hesitated.

"what happened?"

Song You stared at him closely and asked with concern: "Does Tiangong have any other instructions?"

"No, no!" Immortal Qingmu quickly opened his eyes and waved his hands repeatedly, "Your Excellency, you don't dare to say that!"

"Is there not enough incense?"

Song You asked still very concerned.

"Longzhou is too vast, and the old god's incense has withered for many years. Now there are not enough statues and temples." Immortal Qingmu bowed his hands and said, "The old god's power is indeed insufficient..."

"There's still not enough incense."

Song You turned around and looked behind him.

The governor of Longzhou stood behind and listened to their conversation.

As soon as he saw Song You's gaze, he immediately knew that it was time for him to speak and it was time to negotiate terms.

Master Xuanhua put his hands together, lowered his head and closed his eyes.

I guess he had expected it, otherwise he wouldn't have said the words "If Zhizhou hadn't left, it would be more convenient for the Taoist priest to invite the Rain God to discuss it later."

"The Great Immortal Hu Mu is here. I am Wei Wuqi. I was the magistrate of Longzhou at that time. Now there is a severe drought in the northwest. If the Immortal can use his magical power to save the people, I am willing to make a promise to the Immortal. From now on, the statue of the Immortal will be displayed in Longzhou. The incense must spread everywhere and last forever." Wei Zhizhou came out and said, although he faced the gods as a mortal, he still tried hard to maintain the dignity of a Dayan official.

But he still couldn't help but look at Song You, knowing full well that if he could speak here, no matter the opportunity, qualifications, or confidence, it should all come from this person.

"It turns out it's Wei Zhizhou, you're polite." Great Immortal Hu Mu showed a wry smile, "It's just that a state official also said these words many years ago."

When Wei Zhizhou heard this, he didn't know where——

People don't listen to empty words.

Be specific.

"If the Great Immortal is willing to help, I will order when I return that at least ten new temples will be built for the Great Immortal in each county of Longzhou, and the local county magistrate will personally lead the people to offer incense and make offerings to the Great Immortal. I only hope that I can add some incense to the Great Immortal. Divine power." Wei Zhizhou paused as he spoke, then glanced at Song You, "Of course, the people of Longzhou have neglected the Great Immortal for many years, and the Great Immortal is now weak in power. He can first receive local incense, and then adjust the wind and rain for the local area, so as not to tire the Great Immortal. .”

"This……"

Immortal Hu Mu looked troubled again, looking at Wei Zhizhou and then at Song You: "Longzhou is so big and the drought is serious. If you want to adjust the wind and rain in various places, you have to travel frequently. The Zhizhou may not know it, but Song Taoist friends must know it. , the most convenient way for us and other gods to travel around is through the statues of gods. If there are not enough statues of gods, walking will be very slow with the legs and feet of the old gods."

As he spoke, he also looked at Song You.

Song You pursed his lips.

The girl in front of him raised her head and stared at him unblinkingly with a pair of crystal clear eyes.

Immortal Hu Mu immediately withdrew his gaze and quickly added: "Of course, building a temple also costs money. If each village is located in a different place, it only needs a small temple and a half-height temple and a clay statue."

"it is good!"

However, Wei Zhizhou agreed readily and said: "As long as it is convenient for the Great Immortal to adjust the wind and rain and save some people from dying in Longzhou, I will order that a temple be built for the Great Immortal in every village."

"But are you embarrassing Zhizhou?"

"I just hope it can be convenient for the Immortal to use his magical powers." Wei Zhizhou cupped his hands and said, "I'll leave it to the Immortal."

"Zhizhou is like this, and the people of Longzhou are like this. Even if the old god is dragging his old body, he still has to do his best to adjust to the wind and rain." Immortal Hu Mu said, and quickly glanced at Song You, "But we have to say it in front of fellow Taoist Song. Drought in Longzhou is a general trend in the world. It will evolve naturally and last for many years. All the old god can do is to move some rainwater from the uninhabited land of Longzhou to the farmland of the village, and move some rainwater that originally accumulated in piles to a continuous stream. During droughts, fewer people will die. However, the trend cannot be changed. The weather in Longzhou will eventually change. If we want to really save the people of Longzhou, we cannot just place our hopes on the gods. The governor must also find a way to relocate. It’s up to the people.” “It’s natural.”

"The old god is a god who keeps promises and will never break his promise. As long as the temple is built and the old god can travel freely to various places, he will naturally do his best to control the wind and rain for the people of Longzhou."

"Thank you Daxian."

"We will fight against natural disasters together with Zhizhou."

Immortal Hu Mu said, then turned around and looked at Song You: "I wonder if you have any other instructions?"

"I have no other request. Everyone is happy with this." Song You said politely, "The Immortal is a god after all. He became a god by eating the incense of the human world. Now he is also eating the incense of the human world, and he holds important matters related to the people's livelihood. For the divine power of the priesthood, we have to ask the great immortal to benefit the people more."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

If Great Immortal Hu Mu had not already become a god, he would probably be sweating.

Knowing that most of the descendants of Fulong Temple can't stand the god who does not seek political power in his position, this superstar god who had just killed the chief officer of the Lei Department and the Dou Department a few years ago, somehow, this is the point. Own.

The incense of ordinary people does not come in vain.

This person's incense is not free.

Immortal Hu Mu has long heard that Zhou Lei Gong, the most famous god among the people in Dayan and the newly appointed chief of the Thunder Department, has long wanted to eat a stick of incense from this person, but due to some strange combination of circumstances, he has not been able to do so. As wished.

But he ate it first.

I felt extremely stressed at the moment.

"Goodbye, old god."

"Go slow, Daxian."

I saw the old immortal and the young Taoist bowing to each other. Then the old immortal walked to the edge of the incense table with divine light all over his body. He jumped lightly and flew straight onto the incense table without using much force. In the process, he was injured. The shape quickly shrank, and when it fell on the incense table, it was already less than two feet high.

As soon as the immortal sat on the table, the divine light gradually dimmed, and his figure quickly became stiff and rigid.

When the last ray of divine light dissipated, there were no gods in sight, only a colorful clay statue remained. Two candles flickered in the dark night, and the incense stick had just extinguished the last red light.

"call……"

Wei Zhizhou was also relieved at this time.

He has been an official for many years and has become a high official in the border areas. This is the first time he has spoken to the gods in person.

In the past, not to mention talking to the gods personally, even if we relied on Taoists or folk experts to communicate with the gods, we would not see the gods appearing at all. It was often the Taoists who talked with the gods silently and then conveyed divine wishes to them, or folk gentlemen, witches, etc. He asked the gods to get up, and it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false.

Where is this time coming intuitively.

Thinking of this conversation, Wei Zhizhou couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that gods also want to negotiate terms."

"The gods need the incense of the people, and the people need the help of the gods. Sometimes the sacrifices are mutual." Song You replied, "It is true that the gods must be virtuous, but if you want the gods to do their best, you cannot rely entirely on the virtues and goodwill of the gods. , the people also have to offer incense.”

"The immortal master said..."

Wei Zhizhou had heard rumors about gods asking for incense in dreams before. Now he was not surprised that gods were so philistine and bargained with him. What was surprising was the attitude of Immortal Hu Mu towards him - as if the person in front of him was not the man who had repeatedly asked for incense. Hu Mu Daxian, who could not be invited, was of the same identity as him.

Wei Zhizhou knew very well that this was all because of this expert standing beside him.

"I would like to express my gratitude to the immortal master for the people of Longzhou."

"I don't dare to be an immortal master, nor can I be grateful to the governor of the state." Song You replied, "It's just that Immortal Hu Mu is right. To prevent and control the disaster caused by severe drought, we can't just place our hopes on the power of immortals, but also rely on the local people." Only when officials implement good governance and both parties work together can the sufferings of the people be relieved."

"Please remember..."

Wei Zhizhou was polite, looked at him, and then at the girl in front of him who raised her head and stared at him without blinking, and quickly made a gesture of invitation: "It's windy outside, please go in and talk."

"it is good."

Several people returned to a main hall.

This hall is slightly smaller.

At this time, the night was gradually getting darker. It was pitch dark outside, and there was only one oil lamp lit in the hall. I dare not say that it illuminated the hall, but I can only say that it added a little light to the hall. Everyone could not see their faces clearly, so they Sitting on the futon, they talked about drought, gods, and how officials should manage it. Sometimes they also talked about Taoism, Buddhism, the Heavenly Palace in the West, and magic practice. All the monks benefited a lot, and the officials also enjoyed listening.

At first, Sanhua Empress sat obediently next to the Taoist priest, trying her best to play the role of a well-behaved and sensible Taoist boy. But soon she felt bored, couldn't sit still, and started to play by shaking her head from side to side.

Then he turned back into a cat, playing with its tail alone in the dark night. Finally, he ran out and caught a few mice and brought them back to share with the monks.

Naturally, he was declined.

The oil lamp was refilled several times.

After chatting for almost a whole night, until it was almost dawn, Wei Zhizhou and Master Xuanhua reluctantly got up, sent the Taoist to his residence, said goodbye and returned to the house.
