The Rain that Never Stopped Falling for a Thousand Years

"Who?"

Xia Leng asked simply and clearly.

A clear voice sounded outside the door, saying with a smile: "I am Kong Qingsong, the owner of Yuxianju. I want to discuss something with Master Leng. Is that convenient?"

"Come in." Xia Leng felt a strange feeling in his heart, but he didn't think much about it.

A young man wearing a scholar's gown and a scholar's scarf walked in slowly and bowed to Xia Leng and the others: "I apologize for my intrusive visit, Master Leng."

"It's okay, Master Kong, please come in."

Xia Leng also returned the greeting, then waved his hand to signal him to come in.

Kong Qingsong walked into the living room with a smile on his face. He slowly took the teacup from the tea tray handed to him by Feng Tianling, took a sip of tea, and put it aside.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Xia Leng looked at Mr. Kong, trying to figure out what he wanted.

"Originally there's nothing wrong, but rumors have been spreading in the county in recent days. For the sake of the customers in the inn, I feel it is necessary to notify the guests in advance." Kong Qingsong was dressed like a Confucian scholar, and he spoke slowly and methodically. Both his voice and tone made people feel extremely comfortable.

Xia Leng nodded and said directly: "Then you can speak, Mr. Kong."

"The rain in Beiyun County has actually been falling intermittently for almost half a year. Did you know about this, Mr. Leng?" Kong Qingsong asked softly, as if he was chatting with an old friend.

Without waiting for Xia Leng to speak, Xiao Xiuer whispered, "If we knew, we wouldn't have come to Beiyun County."

"Haha, that's true." Kong Qingsong didn't care about Xiao Xiu'er's transgression, but laughed heartily: "In fact, there has been a legend of the 'Rain Lady' in our county since ancient times. It is said that the continuous heavy rain this year is also caused by this 'Rain Lady'."

"Rain Girl? I've never heard of this." Xia Leng was quite interested in this kind of strange story, and couldn't help asking, "Please tell me about it, Master Kong."

"The story is quite simple and cliché." Kong Qingsong glanced at Xia Leng imperceptibly. "The story goes that about a thousand years ago, a goddess fell in love with a scholar in the mortal world, and then came down to earth to marry him, to support his studies, and to help him go to Lanjing to take the imperial examination. In the end, the scholar was indeed on the list of successful candidates, but he was also caught as a son-in-law by the prime minister of the dynasty, and from then on he stayed in Lanjing as an official..."

Xiao Xiuer couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Humph, this scholar is really a heartless man!"

"The story isn't over yet, is it?" Xia Leng listened to the story and felt it was indeed clichéd and bland, far inferior to books like "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" on Earth.

"The goddess must have traveled a long way to Lanjing to find the scholar, and brought the child with her." Xiao Xiu'er sniffed and added, "But the scholar had completely changed his mind. He was afraid that the goddess and the child would affect his future, so he sent someone to assassinate them. The goddess was filled with resentment and not only turned into a fierce ghost, but her tears also turned into rain."

Xia Leng looked at Xiao Xiu'er strangely. He didn't realize that this little girl had some talent as a screenwriter. The short plot she added was a little bit similar to Qin Xianglian's experience on Earth.

"Master Leng's maid is really smart." Kong Qingsong looked at Xiao Xiu'er approvingly, then shook his head and said, "However, the story behind it is not so bad."

"Ah?" Xiao Xiu'er was stunned. "How else can the story develop if not like this?"

Kong Qingsong replied: "The goddess only made a vow that if the scholar does not return to Beiyun County, she will make it rain for nine months every year in his hometown."

"Why nine months?" Feng Tianling couldn't help but ask at this time.

"Because they have known each other for exactly nine months." Kong Qingsong said with a smile.

Xiao Xiuer's eyes were hazy: "Is that bad scholar back?"

"This is a rain that has been falling for a thousand years and has not stopped yet." Kong Qingsong seemed to be answering a question that was not relevant to the question, but everyone understood that if the scholar had come back, the rain would have stopped long ago.

"Wow, wow, wow..." Little girls like Xiao Xiu'er and Feng Tianling were not immune to this kind of story. Even after listening to the outline of the story, their eyes were filled with tears.

"Haha, of course, this is just a story that has been passed down." Kong Qingsong suddenly laughed out loud, thinking the two girls' expressions were very cute. "This rain is indeed strange, and no one can figure out the reason, so someone made up this far-fetched story. Just listen to it, don't take it seriously."

Xiao Xiu'er and Feng Tianling couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, thinking that these words really spoiled the mood and somewhat ruined the tragic love story.

Xia Lengliang felt something was wrong. This Mr. Kong wouldn't be so bored as to come over and tell him such a story. There must be something else.

Sure enough, after laughing and joking for a while, Kong Qingsong saw that Xia Leng still had no intention of asking questions, and thought to himself that this young boy was really patient. But he couldn't help himself.

"Okay, I've been talking about irrelevant things and wasting the young master's rest time." Kong Qingsong clapped his hands lightly and stood up suddenly. "I won't disturb you guys' rest anymore. I'll take my leave now."

"Master Kong, take care." Xia Leng did not ask any further questions and just stood up to see him off.

"No need to see me off." Kong Qingsong raised his hand to Xia Leng and the others. Just as he reached the entrance, he turned back and said casually, "Oh, there is one more thing. I almost forgot."

Xia Leng knew that the main part of the show was about to begin. This person had been wasting time for almost half an hour, probably just to say what he wanted to say now.

"The rain will continue for some time. For safety reasons, I hope you guys can be patient, Mr. Leng." Kong Qingsong's tone was still calm. "If there is any unusual movement in the middle of the night, please..."

"Don't go out?" Xiao Xiuer added.

"No." Kong Qingsong said with a serious expression: "Don't stay in the room. Even if it rains, remember to run outside."

After saying that, Kong Qingsong took a step forward. After a few steps, he reached the corner of the corridor and disappeared in a flash.

"Sir, is there something wrong with this guy's brain?" Xiao Xiu'er asked in a low voice, frowning.

Xia Leng shook his head: "He did come to remind us."

"Then why don't I understand what he said." Xiao Xiu'er tilted her head, "Generally speaking, if we are afraid of something happening, don't we remind others to stay in the room and not come out? He actually asked us to run outside, and said it doesn't matter if we get wet in the rain. What if we catch a cold?"

"Do you think I will catch a cold?" Xia Leng tilted his head and glanced at Xiao Xiu'er.

Xiao Xiu'er just remembered that her son was a cultivator with a special physique and basically would not get sick. She couldn't help but pout.

It was almost late at night when Ji Jiu came back from outside.

"Brother Jiu, have you had your meal?" Xiao Xiu'er asked.

Ji Jiu smiled at her and said, "I've already used it outside. Don't worry about it."

"Oh." Xiao Xiuer nodded.

After a while, the four of them gathered in the study. Xia Leng wanted to know what useful information Ji Jiu had found out, while Xiao Xiuer and Feng Tianling just wanted to hear some anecdotes.

"Did you gain anything?" Xia Leng asked casually.

Ji Jiu drank most of the warm tea and wiped his mouth: "I did find out some things, but I don't know if they are useful to you, young master."

Xia Leng was not in a hurry: "Tell me everything."

"There are three theories about the rain in Beiyun County." Ji Jiu paused for a few seconds, obviously choosing his words: "The first one says that a long time ago there was a goddess..."

"Brother Jiu, we already know this." Xiao Xiuer interrupted Ji Jiu, "Just tell me the other two."

Ji Jiu was stunned for a moment, and Xia Leng explained: "The landlord came just now and told me a story about a goddess who brought rain."

"Okay, then I won't talk about this." Ji Jiu nodded. Everyone had lost interest, and there was no point in him telling the story again. These few days were really boring, so telling and listening to stories became a small way for them to pass the time.

"The second one is that there is a thousand-year-old fairy bell in Feilai Temple in the north of the city, and no one can ring it." Ji Jiu continued, and stretched out his hand to compare the size of the bell. "It is said that it is a bell for praying for rain. As long as someone rings it, it will rain."

"That's a little off." Feng Tianling was from Yunzhou after all, so she had some knowledge of things in Beiyun County. "I've heard the legend of that bell when I was a child. It was said that it was a bell for praying for a child, and if it was rung, a child would be born."

"In Beiyun County dialect, rain is the same as son." Ji Jiu explained with a smile: "There are several mountains between the Divine Wind Valley and this side, so the mountain sounds are not interlinked."

"What is the last rumor?" Xiao Xiuer asked.

Ji Jiu showed a meaningful smile: "This third one is a bit interesting. There is a monster living on the mountain outside the city. As long as it goes down the mountain, it will rain."

Xiao Xiu'er looked a little confused: "What do you mean? Does it take nine months for a monster to eat a meal?"

"This monster is not a wild mandrill. It is said to be a tear of an immortal tens of millions of years ago. It became a monster by chance." Ji Jiu continued: "Moreover, it does not eat humans or other food, but air."

"That's a ghost." Xiao Xiu'er was no longer surprised and said with a curled lip, "It's all in strange novels. Ghosts and monsters all absorb Yang energy and so on."

Ji Jiu wanted to explain it in more detail, but then he shook his head. He felt that Xiao Xiu'er might not understand, so he nodded directly: "Well, you can understand it this way. As long as you are touched by the raindrops it sprays, the energy in your body will be sucked away."

"Then what Master Kong said before is a little strange." Xia Leng pinched his chin and thought. If the third legend is true, Master Kong's suggestion that they run into the rain when they have trouble is quite strange. But he also felt that Master Kong had no grudges against them, so there was no reason for him to plot against them like this, and in such a casual way.

Suddenly, Xia Leng's heart trembled and his eyes wandered around the room.

Ji Jiu's expression instantly became extremely solemn. Even Chi Dun, Xiao Xiu'er and Feng Tianling felt that something was wrong.

Beyond the candlelight, the shadows were dense, as if they had life, swaying slightly with the light.

Xia Leng's face tensed up, and after feeling it for a while, he suddenly uttered a word softly:

"run!"
