I didn't intend to be a Fairy

"Your Majesty called the old god here this time, but you don't know why?"

"It's still a drought thing."

"Still drought..."

Immortal Hu Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

Shazhou officials watched from a short distance away, with their eyes wide open, feeling strange and amazed.

At first, when they saw the Great Immortal Hu Mu had really arrived and treated the Taoist in front of them with great respect, they only sighed that what was said in the letter from the Governor of Longzhou was true. This was actually a person whom even gods would respect with great respect, so they felt in their hearts The hope had already risen to 70% to 80%, but soon I saw the helpless look on the face of Immortal Hu Mu, and he said:

"Your Majesty, I don't know how the situation in Shazhou is different from that in Longzhou..."

"What is the difference?"

"Your Majesty, listen carefully to what the old god said." Hu Mu Daxian stood in the Yamen compound and said, "As soon as I came here, I also knew that the incense gods only have magical power in places where there are incense believers. Once they leave, the magical power will disappear quickly. Reduced. Longzhou is actually doing better. Although there are fewer and fewer people who believe in the old god over the years, there are still some left after all, but this Shazhou..."

Hu Mu Daxian paused for a moment before saying: "Shazhou is adjacent to the Western Region and has been most influenced by Buddhist missionary work. Over the years, there are less than five temples and statues of old gods in Shazhou. Even though there are only five statues of old gods in Shazhou this year, There was a severe drought, so only a dozen or so statues were added. Both the officials and the people in Shazhou worshiped Buddha statues, not the old gods."

As he said this, he couldn't help but look at Shazhou Zhizhou.

"Ahem..."

The governor of Shazhou couldn't stand anymore, and couldn't help but stand up, raised his hands and said: "The officials and people of Shazhou are stupid, so they are neglecting the gods. Please don't let the gods get along with us. As for the future, the gods know that the people have always respected the gods. What kind of gods are they? As long as they control the wind and rain, the people of Shazhou will worship them sincerely."

"It's too late. Even if all the people in Shazhou believe in the old god at this time and the incense is prosperous, it will probably take a year or two before the old god can restore his power here." In front of Song You, Great Immortal Hu Mu still said to Shazhou Zhizhou Very polite.

"Not too late, not too late."

The governor of Shazhou said repeatedly, and then added: "It is wrong for the officials and people of Shazhou to neglect the gods. It can be seen that mistakes can be corrected, and there is no great good. If you want to correct this mistake, the sooner the better. If you can welcome back the gods two years ago, The statues in the temple are naturally good, but since they failed two years ago, the best thing left is now."

What he said was very sincere.

"The old god has received Zhizhou's wishes, but he is still helpless." Immortal Hu Mu sighed, "What's more, this is just one of them."

"oh?"

Zhang Zhizhou was puzzled for a moment, but he only dared to glance at them quietly.

"What about the second one?"

Song You also asked at the same time.

But his expression was very calm, as if he already knew the answer.

"The second is that the old god only has the ability to control wind and rain, but does not have the ability to produce rain out of thin air. The drought in Shazhou is even worse than that in Longzhou. Even if the old god wants to control the rain, there must be rain. But in Longzhou, some places are dry and some are dry. There is little rain, most of the time there is drought, and occasionally there is rain. The old god transfers the rain from the uninhabited land to the inhabited land, and uses the subsequent rain to eliminate the continuous drought. But where there is rain in Shazhou, it rains. The weather is much less than that in Longzhou. There is not enough water vapor in the weather, and the old gods really can’t control it.”

When the state officials heard this, they were all shocked.

Song You just nodded after hearing this and continued to ask: "Is there any other reason?"

"this……"

"Is it gone?"

"Buddhism comes from the west, and Buddhism is respected in the northwest. Shazhou is farther west than Longzhou, and the worship of Buddhism is more popular..."

Immortal Hu Mu didn't dare to say anything anymore and only raised his eyes to look at Song You.

"I see."

Song You's expression remained calm.

Zhang Zhizhou was a little anxious and asked quickly: "Then what should we do?"

"Knowing the state, you must know that the world will continue to change with the vicissitudes of the sea. Previously, Shazhou had rich water and grass and nourished many people. But from now on, even if the old god desperately adjusts, most of the land in Shazhou is destined to become wasteland and will no longer be Suitable for mortals to survive. Just like the Gobi desert." Humu Daxian is the god who controls wind and rain. He understands climate change very well. When asked by the state official, he gave a very sincere but ruthless reply, " If mortals do not take the initiative to leave these places, heaven and earth will use another method to drive them away, and this has been the case forever."

"Is there no way to stop it?"

"The general trend of heaven and earth is unstoppable."

Immortal Hu Mu paused while speaking, then glanced at Song You again, and said: "However, although the general trend of heaven and earth has evolved naturally, it has also evolved too drastically at this time. Logically speaking, even if the northwest has to change from warm and humid The climate gradually becomes drier and less rainy, and changes year by year. The celestial phenomena will work together with the changes on the earth to achieve each other. It is rarely like this."

"The Immortal suspects that there are still external influences?" Song You asked.

"Old God cannot guarantee that it must be the case. But if this is the case, as long as we can find the source of the external force that aggravates the changes in the world and stop it, it may slow down the process." Immortal Hu Mu spoke with unusual sincerity at this time, " This may give the people a chance to take a breather and find another way out.”

"Thank you, great immortal."

"Old God, take your leave."

"Walk slowly."

The gods returned to the altar, the divine light dimmed, and the candles on the altar were extinguished.

Song You, however, still stood where he was, sighing with emotion.

What a great change...

Are historical changes more than just the changing of dynasties and the ups and downs of civilizations?

It was a blessing to be able to witness it with my own eyes.

"gentlemen……"

Behind him, Zhizhou Shazhou called him softly, but his face was full of sorrow.

Hu Mu Daxian pointed out a way out for Shazhou, which is to move most of the now saturated people in Shazhou away from Shazhou. This may be a way out for the people of Shazhou, but it may not be a good way out for the state officials.

In particular, the Zhizhou of Longzhou was able to cure the drought in Longzhou, but the Zhizhou of Shazhou could only move the people away. Compared with each other, Zhang Zhizhou was really worried.

"..."

However, Song You seemed to see through what he was thinking, and had no choice but to say: "I am also willing to lend a helping hand to Zhizhou."

"Sir, please enlighten me."

"At this time, there is no other way to know the state. It is better to try our best to save more people." Song You paused and then said, "Now the north of Dayan is short of people. The imperial court is filling in the north with immigrants, and it happens that Shazhou Longzhou is not far from the northern border. It is better for Zhizhou to seize this opportunity and ask famous people to write a book and express it to the court. If the words are more sincere, it may be recognized by the court. As for the merits and demerits, does the court feel that Zhizhou has failed in his duty or that Zhizhou has done his job well? , it depends on the governor’s ability to arrange the people and his ability to write tables.”

"Immigration fills the North..."

Zhang Zhizhou murmured to himself and thought quickly.

Maybe he is not a good official who puts the people first in everything and does not care about his past and his reputation. However, he has been an official for many years and can serve as governor of any state, but he is not stupid either.

Zhang Zhizhou quickly made up his mind.

"I don't know what happened tonight..."

"If the Zhizhou mentions my name, it must not be adulterated. In this matter, it must not be used to make profits and harm the people until the matter is settled." Song You turned to look at the Zhizhou, "If not, it will ruin the people below. If you are innocent all your life, Zhizhou will be in trouble both before and after you live."

When Zhang Zhizhou heard this, his expression became solemn: "Thank you so much, Master Immortal, for helping me! I will never let you down, Master Immortal!"

…

Dinner time.

A bowl of Hezhi was placed in front of everyone on the table, including the transformed Sanhua Empress. There were also a few white flour pancakes, a plate of sauerkraut, and a pot of hand-caught mutton in the middle of the table. The candlelight flickered, and although there were not many varieties, everything was very generous, and the oil shone brightly, making me feel rich.

There was even a cup of tea in front of everyone, with longan and red dates added, which looked particularly refreshing.

Zhang Zhizhou led several close officials to accompany him.

"In a hurry, it is inevitable that it will be a little crude. Please don't be offended by the Immortal Master, Immortal Boy and Fairy Bird." Zhang Zhizhou said.

"Why do this in a year of great disaster?" Song You was helpless.

"That's a swallow!" the girl corrected.

"Sir, there is no need to feel sorry. Although there is a severe drought in Shazhou, it is still the Pearl of the Northwest and is still prosperous. Not to mention entertaining you, sir." Zhang Zhizhou paused for a moment, "I'll let you taste the authentic food when I'm free tomorrow." The famous sandbank food.”

Song You glanced at the table full of food, but said: "I will only stay here in Zhizhou for one night. I will set off tomorrow morning to find the Earth Fire Country. If Zhizhou is interested, please point us in the direction and prepare some easy-to-carry food for us. Drinking water and dry food.”

"Well?"

The girl looked at him doubtfully.

It seems rare to see him refuse delicious food.

"gentlemen……"

Zhang Zhizhou also wanted to persuade, but after a pause, he just sighed: "Sir, you really care about the people!"

Then he quickly asked them to use their chopsticks.

The so-called Hezhi is a bowl of mutton soup, but the ingredients are extremely rich - thinly sliced ​​mutton, meatballs, some soy products, a big bowl full, plus soup made from mutton bones, green onions Garnished with green onions to enhance the flavor, it is very delicious.

When eating, take a piece of pancake and eat meat and drink soup while nibbling the pancake. You can also soak the pancake in the soup. The dry and soft pancake will soak up the soup, which is also a unique taste in the world.

It was only in the year of the great disaster that I saw people all over the city who were hungry and thirsty due to drought. Now I have not made any achievements, but here I eat meat, drink soup, and have high-quality food. White flour pancakes, even for a discerning person like Song You, are really tasteless in his mouth.

On the other hand, Lady Sanhua enjoyed her meal very much.

After a meal, there is tea to rinse your mouth with.

He stayed here tonight, but it was only early the next morning that Song You said goodbye to Zhang Zhizhou.

Zhang Zhizhou pointed out the location of the Earth and Fire Kingdom for him, and introduced it in great detail. He also prepared for him the baked naan that the merchants from the Western Regions used in the desert, a few water bladders filled with water, and a few watermelons and honeydew melons, which he reluctantly left. They sent him outside Shadu City and waved goodbye to him.

Song You didn't look back, he just moved forward alone.

The horses and cats quickly followed.

The swallows have already flown out to find their way.

Ahead was a sky full of yellow sand again, with rolling sand mountains and no end in sight, but the Taoist didn't even look back.
