Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 163 Man and God

As Li Xiuyuan entered the treasure temple, the scholars in his eyes had different thoughts.

Some people think that even if this Tongsheng goes up, he can't appease the Dragon King's anger.

Of course, there are still people who think that Li Xiuyuan has no hesitation in knowing that this move is dangerous. This courage is commendable and admirable enough.

At this time, a yamen servant came over with a few clerks carrying a coffin.

"My lord, the coffin has already been brought, shall I collect it for the old Lord Jijiu?" the guard asked respectfully.

Seeing that Li Xiuyuan hadn't climbed to the top of the temple so quickly, the magistrate turned his mouth and said, "Immediately collect the body for Lord Jijiu, and buy another coffin to bury another scholar who died, no, no more Go buy two."

"Buy two pairs?" The nearby scholar immediately looked at the prefect in surprise.

One pair should be enough for a scholar who fell to death just now, why buy two pairs.

The magistrate looked at Baocha and said: "The heavy rain has not stopped for several days. I have an extra coffin to be prepared. I will do it quickly. The money for this coffin will be recorded in my account."

"Yes, my lord." The guard answered and left.

Everyone suddenly realized that the coffin of emotion was prepared for Li Xiuyuan.

I don't know what Li Xiuyuan will think when he hears this. As soon as he walks away, someone will prepare a coffin for you. This worship of the Dragon King is like saying goodbye to life and death.

But Li Xiuyuan didn't know about such a chilling thing.

Now that he entered the temple, he walked like flying, climbing all the way up the stairs, and walked towards the top floor of the temple.

But a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, so Li Xiuyuan untied the jade belt around his waist before climbing to the top of the pagoda, unwilling to block his aura.

As long as one's own breath is not blocked, and Taoism is not added to one's body within three feet, even if the Dragon King of Wujiang wants to cast spells, it is impossible. In this way, one's own safety will be guaranteed no matter what.

What if this Dragon King of Wujiang goes mad and wants to attack himself.

So do some preparation in advance.

Soon, Li Xiuyuan walked through the stairs and came to the top of the temple.

Half of the place here has collapsed, and there are traces of being struck by lightning around it. It is scorched black, and the ground is in a mess. broken pieces.

In addition, Li Xiuyuan also saw a footprint scratch on the ground.

Needless to say, it was the last trace left by that cow dung scholar.

When he reached the top floor, Li Xiuyuan clearly felt that the surrounding wind subsided and the rainstorm stopped.

The vicinity of the top floor of Baocha seems to be unaffected by wind and rain.

From a distance, it seems that there is an invisible barrier covering the whole body.

"Look, look quickly, the wind and rain on the top floor of the pagoda have stopped." Under the pagoda, a scholar pointed to the high place and exclaimed.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked up in unison.

Immediately, his eyes narrowed, as expected.

In other places, there are continuous storms, but the area on the top floor is not hit by wind and rain. Such a scene is particularly eye-catching in this rainy weather.

"It's that Tongsheng, that Tongsheng has gone up to the top floor."

Another scholar with sharp eyes saw Li Xiuyuan climbed to the top floor of the temple, revealing his figure.

"This is a person with an extremely noble fate. Even the wind and rain in the sky dare not pour on this person. This is the person that Lord Jijiu is looking for before he dies." Someone looked up to the sky and sighed, with a hint of envy in his tone.

"It's hateful, it's obvious that the nobleman is here, but the scholar from before ruined the matter and let others take away the sacrificial oration before finishing it, otherwise the matter would not have been like this." Some people said indignantly.

"He has also received retribution. He is obviously not a nobleman, but he wanted to forcefully ascend the height, but now he lost his life in vain."

The magistrate ignored those arguments, and opened his eyes at this moment, looking at Li Xiuyuan on the top floor of the treasure temple in disbelief.

He is an official and a person who believes in fate. Just because this little boy can climb the temple to calm the wind and rain in a place, it is enough to see that his fate is extremely precious, and he is the kind of person who can make ghosts and gods fear.

"This son's future achievements are limitless." The magistrate secretly thought in his heart.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan climbed to the top floor and looked up at the dark clouds above his head. Although there was no violent storm, it was only his own place.

Guobei City, and even the entire territory, are still under the shroud of heavy rain.

"Dragon King of Wujiang, how dare you show yourself."

Li Xiuyuan stood with his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky and shouted in a deep voice.

The voice was sent out through the method of luck, and it was so loud that it tended to overwhelm the sound of thunder and rain all over the sky for a while.

"Boom~!"

As soon as Li Xiuyuan's words came out, the sky was filled with lightning flashes, bursts of thunder rang out, the sky became darker for a while, the wind was strong, the grass and trees rolled upside down, the thatched shed on the ground was blown up by the strong wind, and they flew up without knowing it , The people, officials, and scholars who hid in the huts for a while were exposed to the rainstorm one after another.

"Not good, what he said angered the Dragon King."

Feeling the sudden violent weather, the magistrate's expression changed drastically.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of thunderbolts struck down from the dark clouds, flickering around the pagoda, and several thunderbolts even hit the half of the pagoda, as if they were going to cover the pagoda completely.

When the common people saw this scene, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again in fright, holding incense candles in their hands, begging the Dragon King to calm down his anger.

"Wujiang Dragon King, why use these little tricks to scare people, these things are fine against other people, but not against me."

Li Xiuyuan remained motionless, with no fear on his face: "If you are really capable, you can send down a thunderbolt to kill me. If you can't, show yourself. Although you are the Dragon King of Wujiang, you also know my identity. It's a sign of sincerity to visit from a high place, don't you even give me this bit of face?"

As soon as these words were said, another thunderclap sounded in the sky, accompanied by a thunderous dragon chant.

But all the people in Guobei City can hear it clearly.

And with the sound of the dragon's chant, a hole was suddenly opened in the dark cloud-covered sky above the sky, and the dazzling sunlight fell from the hole, covering the treasure temple in the city.

The area covered by sunlight is very limited, and the distance of three feet beyond Baocha is gone, no more than an inch, no less than an inch.

"The domineering and shrewd Dragon King has calculated the range of influence of my breath at once."

Li Xiuyuan was shrouded in the sunlight, frowned slightly, and saw that the sunlight was divided into two layers, the first layer was extremely bright, but only covered a range of three feet, and the first layer was slightly dim, covering a range of nine feet
These two distances are very particular. Within three feet is the range within which Li Xiuyuan can avoid all Taoism, and within nine feet is the range within which he can avoid ghosts and gods. After that, his aura will no longer be able to affect him.

The scope is not large, and it can only protect itself, but cannot protect more things.

"Is he the sage in the world that the old ghost of the Chu family said? He is indeed extraordinary." Deep in the dark clouds, a burly and domineering man with long hair and shoulders descended from the sky riding the clouds.

His figure is blurred, and ordinary people can't see his appearance clearly, only his outline.

"It's the Dragon King of Wujiang, the Dragon King of Wujiang has appeared."

Seeing this scene, the people were immediately excited, and kowtowed more and more frequently.

Some scholars who had slight doubts about the Dragon King of Wujiang River were also dumbfounded at the moment, trembling all over, some became limp, and kneeled on the ground involuntarily.

Even the magistrate knelt down with a pale face regardless of his status.

From the officials to the common people, they all kowtowed and bowed to the figure in the sky stepping on the clouds.

"Are you the saint on earth who descended more than ten years ago?" The Dragon King of Wujiang stepped on the clouds and floated in mid-air, staring at Li Xiuyuan with cold eyes.

Li Xiuyuan looked calm, and out of courtesy, he gave a salute and said, "Exactly, your Excellency is the Dragon King of Wujiang?"

"This king remembers you. A few days ago, you traveled by boat, which collided with this king's travel, and was overturned by this king's tail, and fell into the water. If it wasn't for a bastard who saved you, you would have to do it again." Drowning chicken, hey, the saints in the world are nothing more than that." Wujiang Dragon King sneered, with a bit of disdain.

Li Xiuyuan knew that the Dragon King of Wujiang was using his power to suppress others, which was the same as when the Black Mountain Lord besieged but did not attack, and he was not simply mocking you.

It is impossible for a Jiaolong who can become the Dragon King of Wujiang to be stupid.

He looked calm, and said calmly; "It is said that there are many helpers who are right and few who are helpless, and I will be helped when I fall into the water, but you, Dragon King, don't realize that if you run aground someday, will someone help you?"

The Dragon King of Wujiang's eyes flashed: "The weak need help, and the strong will never need it. How can your mortal body understand this, and this king has said beforehand that it will rain heavily for [-] days. To pay homage to my son, you are a saint in the world." I can't control the original cloud and rain, but the reason why this king showed up today is because of your status as a saint in the world, not for you, you better be a little self-aware."

"There is an injustice and a debtor. Your son is dead. You should go find the murderer who killed your son. Why did it rain for [-] days and hurt the people of the whole place? If the water rises, the food harvest will fail, the village will be flooded, and I don’t know how many people will die. You are not raining, you are killing people.” Li Xiuyuan said.

The Dragon King of Wujiang looked cold, pointed down and said, "Look, what do those kowtowing people look like?"

Li Xiuyuan frowned.

"Is it like an ant?"

The Dragon King of Wujiang said: "People, walking through a forest, passing a small path, and trampling a few ants to death, is that called killing? No, it's just that I accidentally stepped on some insignificant things."

"So you killed that scholar just now?" Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said.

The Dragon King of Wujiang snorted softly: "That's also called murder, a person with little merit, he's just an ant that I crushed to death at random."

"You call that person an ant, so do you think I'm an ant too?" Li Xiuyuan said.

The Dragon King of Wujiang said lightly: "You are different. You are a saint in the world. You must be a god after death. Why fight against this king for this matter. It doesn't matter if you don't understand this king now. After you become a god, you will do it for hundreds of years. God will understand all this. Don’t you mortal officials also like to call them grasslanders? Do you know what grasslanders are? Like weeds, once a crop is cut, it will grow again, and if you burn it all, From the ashes there will be new shoots."

"These grassroots people can't be killed or eliminated. Let alone some people drowned by the king's cloud and rain, so what if tens of thousands are drowned? It won't take more than ten years, and this place will still be the same as before."

"Aren't you afraid of karma?" Li Xiuyuan took a slight breath and asked.

This Wujiang Dragon King no longer has humanity, only the so-called divinity, ignoring all people, and pretending to be aloof.

"This king can still bear some karma. The big deal is to bless these grassroots people with good weather for decades. This is easy for this king, but if my son is dead, how can I not pay homage to him? As for the enemy you mentioned, it has already You were killed by this king, you'd better leave it alone, after today the heavy rain will continue to fall until my son's resentment dissipates." The Dragon King of Wujiang flicked his sleeve and drank heavily.

Li Xiuyuan couldn't help feeling angry when he heard the words.

This Wujiang Dragon King is not only domineering, he is simply acting recklessly.

Relying on his own morality and identity, he doesn't take the lives of the people seriously.

He calmed down, stared at the Dragon King of Wujiang and said, "I don't know if the Dragon King has heard of a story. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a Dragon King. He just slightly changed the number of raining hours and was beheaded."

The Dragon King of Wujiang said coldly: "The king also told you a story. At present, there was a scholar who went up to the temple to worship the Dragon King. He accidentally fell off the temple and died. His body is still lying underneath."
