Chapter 168: Spiritual Rain Arrives in Panlong Wasteland

The magistrate of Kuzhu County immediately represented the Yuan Wang Court to confer the title of Hongchuan Water Spirit. He took out the document and asked it to stamp a seal with a thick fish lip. He then took out Yuan money and official seal to stamp it.

As soon as the stamp was stamped, a green light flashed on the big black fish, indicating that the process was completed and a new water spirit was born.

The soldier then pushed the last bite of fat pig into the water.

The black fish bit it and sank into the center of the pond.

The magistrate of Kuzhu County was also a little tired and came to thank He Chunhua. If there was no support from the side, his battle would not be so beautiful.

With the new water spirit in place, Hongchuan would be much more peaceful. So Fengling Ferry could be reopened, and the merchants waiting on the side happily boarded the ship.

Taking advantage of a little free time, He Lingchuan went around Fengling Ferry and found a particularly conspicuous old locust tree growing on the sandbar more than 300 feet away from the ferry.

There are many locust trees here, but He Lingchuan's eyes were attracted by it at the first time, just because this tree is really special:

It is a lightning-struck tree.

This old locust tree was originally very thick, with a trunk that four people could hug. It has been growing for many years, but it was struck by lightning several times, and all the branches on the top fell off. The whole tree almost became charred.

But life is so tenacious. On the charred and lifeless trunk of the old locust tree, new buds have sprouted and grown into new branches...

The new branches and trunks are much smaller than the mother tree, but they are thriving and full of vitality from beginning to end.

He Lingchuan finally knew what the old turtle demon meant by "resurrecting the old locust tree", and it was indeed visible at a glance.

And it grows on a sandbar, away from idle people.

He came to the tree and turned around a few times, but he didn't find a tree hole, so he was not discouraged.

If the tree hole was so easy to be discovered by him, it would also be explored by other birds and beasts.

He Lingchuan touched the charred trunk for a few times, found the depression of the tree root, took out the broken knife and started to dig the sand.

The sand was soft and moderate, and He Lingchuan dug deeper and deeper.

Soon, he found that there was indeed a big hole under the tree root, but it was usually buried by sand, and only a few crabs were napping in it.

He threw the crab out and threw it away, took out the turtle egg and put it in, thought about it, and got some water plants to cover the turtle egg, and then put a small bottle of elixir next to it.

Be a good person to the end.

Then, he filled the sand back again to cover the tree hole completely. The water flow will take over the traces.

At this step, he completed the entrustment of the turtle monster.

"Farewell." He shook off the sand on his hands, and understood why the turtle egg had to choose this place to hatch:

This old locust tree can be reborn, and its vitality must be very strong, which is also the power that the turtle monster needs to rely on for the second hatch.

Perhaps, the turtle monster originally grew up here. After all, the locust tree is much older than it.

At this time, He Yue called out to his brother from a distance: "Brother, start the boat!"

"See you again if we are lucky. I hope you have found the smooth road of cultivation by then." He Lingchuan patted Jiao Mu and got up and left.

The supporting army also boarded the boat at Fenglingdu and rode the rolling river to Shihuan City.

￥￥￥￥￥

He Lingchuan stretched and sat up from the bed.

He was still confused when someone outside shouted: "Street-gate-proclaim-lecture-"

Such a familiar tune.

He almost forgot to retract his outstretched hand. He looked out the window. It was getting dark and the water in the tank was full.

Tank?

He remembered that he fell asleep on the boat, and the last movement he heard came from the waves hitting the side of the boat, not the noisy streets.

In other words, he entered Panlong City again, and--

He Lingchuan jumped to the door in two steps and stood in the middle of the street. Sure enough, what he heard was that Emperor Liujiang was coming and Panlong City would be under curfew for three days from tonight.

In other words, he received the follow-up of the previous dream?

Incredibly, four days had passed in reality, but less than an hour had passed in the Panlong City in the dream!

The difference in the speed of time between the two sides was really casual.

The sun had already set, and he couldn't go anywhere, but there was a wine shop nearby. He rushed in and bought a few jars of wine. When he got home, he poured out the wine and washed it, ready to serve the Emperor Liujiang.

He then emptied the water tank, took out all the containers such as pots, bowls, and spoons, and placed them in the yard.

He still remembered Hu Min's instructions to saw off two large branches from the tree in the yard to prevent his long arms from reaching into the neighbor's territory.

Just as these were done, there was a noise outside, as if countless people were cheering.

He Lingchuan walked out of the house and saw that it was raining, green rain.

He knew that this was the Emperor Liujiang.

The forecast of Panlong City was so accurate that it could even grasp the pulse of such a strange astronomical phenomenon.

What surprised He Lingchuan even more was that the Emperor's Flood that fell this time was still fragrant and fragrant, but it was much more viscous and darker in color than in reality, which was worthy of the word "flood".

In reality, the Emperor's Flood was a drizzle, and whoever it fell on would win the prize; but here, the Emperor's Flood actually reached the level of light to medium rain. He Lingchuan stretched out his palm and caught several drops of green raindrops in a short while.

He couldn't help but taste it, it was really fragrant!

The greed buried deep in his heart suddenly broke out. But He Lingchuan had both experience and preparation, so he forced himself to suppress the impulse and jumped onto the roof.

He turned over the tiles on the roof and temporarily connected them into several grooves. The Emperor's Flood accumulated more and more, and slowly flowed down along the grooves, and was caught by him in a wine jar.

Although it was just a trickle, it was priceless if it was accumulated!

The neighbor also moved two jars and climbed onto the roof of his house to collect the Emperor's sap. Seeing his operation, he was greatly inspired and quickly copied his homework and fiddled with the tiles.

He Lingchuan found that he covered his mouth and nose with a face towel, and smelled a little of the strange aroma of the Emperor's sap, which was very helpful for suppressing the hidden beast heart, so he quickly followed suit.

Everyone's face was flushed and their necks were thick, but they resisted the urge to be greedy and take more. The Emperor's sap had come several times in three years, and most people had experience in dealing with it. They knew that as long as they held back for a while, they would be rewarded later. He Lingchuan also heard the children crying loudly. Looking down from above, he saw that two families had tied their children to the table and did not allow them to run around and disrupt the overall situation.

At this time, heavy footsteps passed by He Lingchuan's door, accompanied by a low roar.

He looked down and saw that it was a mechanical beast moving slowly along the street. This thing looked and sized like a tiger or leopard, with two eyes glowing green, and it looked a little creepy at first glance.

It seemed to be walking with its head down, but no matter which family was suspected of fighting or quarreling, the mechanical beast would come over and scratch the wall with its front legs, then scratch the door, and roar twice to intimidate the residents.

About an incense stick of time after this mechanical beast left, another mechanical beast patrolled here.

It alternated like this.

If it weren't for struggling with his greed, He Lingchuan really wanted to give a thumbs up and praise "thoughtful".

This mechanical beast must be a security guard released by the Panlong City government to patrol. For them, the most untrustworthy thing is human nature, and the most reliable is force.

At this time, all living things could not resist the temptation of Emperor Liujiang, only dead things like mechanical beasts were unmoved and continued to perform their original tasks.

I don't know which great man created the mechanical beast that can patrol, locate, and intimidate on its own.

Sure enough, He Lingchuan soon heard the sound of jars and pots being smashed not far away, and some people were shouting and some were crying. I don't know who couldn't bear the extreme desire for Emperor Liujiang and fought with others.

Human nature really can't be let go.

The mechanical beast roared, and He Lingchuan heard its heavy footsteps moving away quickly.

A few screams came from that direction soon, but then there was no movement. It seemed that the person who did it was punished.

This scene also warned the surrounding residents well.

As the people of the city suffered repeatedly, time passed slowly.

This time, the Emperor's juice fell from the sky for a longer time than He Lingchuan's last time, and it didn't stop until the east was bright.

He Lingchuan scraped all the Emperor's juice from the tree, and then gathered all the bottles and jars that stored rain together, poured them into each other, and finally filled a wine bottle with Emperor's juice.

After tightening the lid, the fragrance disappeared, and the attraction to people also disappeared. He Lingchuan let out a long sigh and wiped off the thin sweat on his forehead.

The difficult night has passed, and everyone began to enjoy the fruits of victory.

Looking at the wine bottle in his hand, He Lingchuan was a little embarrassed.

The Emperor's juice obtained from the dream should not have an improvement effect on his real body, after all, all this is an illusion.

Then the most rational thing to do is to hand over the gains of this night and exchange them for merits from the Meritorious Department. Hu Min said that merits are not easy to get, but they can be exchanged for the most precious things.

This heaven-falling Emperor's blood is his unexpected gain.

Of course, this needs to be confirmed. He Lingchuan thought about it and went out with a wine bottle.

The curfew ended after dawn, but few residents came out, and most people stayed at home to count the spoils. He found a diligent donkey cart to take him to Hu Min's residence.

Along the way, he saw several houses that were charred and smashed, and the city defenders were carrying people out or cleaning up the scene.

It seems that even if there are mechanical beasts patrolling, even if Panlong City has repeatedly issued orders, even if there are strict laws here, even if the residents of Panlong City have been able to obey orders in the long years of war, human greed will still find a breakthrough.

Hu Min lives in a tin house. Although it is also a civilian house, it is four levels higher than He Lingchuan. The roads here are wide, the streets are clean and tidy, green trees and red flowers can be seen everywhere, and every household has a small courtyard, which is at least four times the size of He Lingchuan's wooden house. The environment can beat his by several streets, but the specifications are very uniform, all black doors, black tiles, red walls, and even the size is almost the same, as if they were carved from the same mold.

It seems that illegal construction is not allowed here.

Every street looks the same, and He Lingchuan took a long time to find Hu Min's house.

This man had just finished refining Emperor Liu San, and when he opened the door and saw He Lingchuan, he was surprised and said: "It's so early, aren't you refining medicine?"

"How about I use Emperor Liu Jiang to exchange some of the refined medicine with you? Just try a small sip."
