I Eat Monsters In the Town Monster

This Mianyuan County is suffering from a drought!

To be precise, Mianyuan County is not the only one suffering from the drought. Some towns in other counties and towns close to it have also been affected.

It's just that the drought in Mianyuan County is the most serious.

Due to lack of water, the land here has been cracked one by one.

The grass and trees on the roadside and the seedlings in the fields are also dry and dead due to lack of water, or lying on the ground sickly.

Qin Shaoyou and the others saw several rivers on their way to the county seat.

However, no matter how big or small, there is no water, and even the silt in the river has been dried into dry and hard clods.

Qin Shaoyou looked up at the sky.

The sun is not too big, but it gives people a hot and unbearable feeling.

It's clearly the beginning of autumn, and the weather is starting to turn cold, but the climate here in Mianyuan County is weirdly hotter than midsummer.

"My lord, the drought in this place is probably weird..."

Monk Ma rode to Qin Shaoyou's side, frowning.

"The river we passed just now is called the Shiting River. It flows all the way down and passes Luocheng. But there is water in the Shiting River on the other side of Luocheng. Although the amount of water is not as much as in previous years, it is downstream. , here in Mianyuan County is the upper reaches. In the upper reaches of the river, there is not a single drop of dry water, so where does the downstream water come from?"

Qin Shaoyou withdrew his gaze from looking at the sky, and pondered: "The water in the downstream river may have flowed from other tributaries. But you are right about one thing, the drought here in Mianyuan County is really weird."

In fact, they knew about the drought in Mianyuan County a few days ago.

Zhu Xiucai and Sun Xianzong, who arrived in Mianyuan County first, sent back the news of the drought immediately.

Even Zhu Xiucai conducted an investigation and found that there were signs of water shortage in Mianyuan County before, but the situation was not serious.

And the previous county magistrate was also a member of the Black Lotus Sect. He only wanted to help Li Anan build the Black Lotus Buddha Kingdom so that he could obtain the fruit status of the Black Lotus Bodhisattva. He wished for more births in Mianyuan County. There are many deaths due to scourges, so naturally there is no preparation for drought and drought relief.

But the drought broke out completely at the beginning of this month.

It is said that the time is not long, and the drought should not be so severe as this.

However, this drought is so weird that it becomes extremely serious when it occurs.

In this month, not only did not a single drop of rain fall in Mianyuan County, but the water source was also sharply reduced.

Whether it is the water in the river or the water in the well, it seems to have been 'stolen'.

In just a few days, the wells and rivers dried up one after another.

Today, the drought has become so severe that even drinking water has become a major problem for the people.

In order to get water, the people in Mianyuan County either chipped in to dig wells.

But many wells have been drilled, but very few can produce water.

Even if there are occasional wells that can produce water, there is very little water, and within a few days it will dry up and no longer produce water.

Or go to places with water in other counties to fetch water.

But the journey to fetch water was long, and there were many dangers along the way. The water they fetched, after being brought back to the territory of Mianyuan County, would inexplicably decrease.

Often a bucket of water, when it is brought home, it is not bad to have one-third of it left.

The water was neither spilled nor leaked, and no one knew where the disappearing water went.

Like the water in rivers and wells, it was stolen by invisible thieves.

Zhu Xiucai was also very experienced. After hearing about the weirdness of the drought, he immediately guessed whether it might be ghosts and evil things.

In the past few days, in addition to completing the tasks assigned by Qin Shaoyou, he was also investigating the truth of the drought.

It's a pity that he has just arrived and has other tasks. There are not many people who can be mobilized, so the reason has not been found out yet.

An Mutong had already got out of the carriage, he grabbed a lump of soil from the ground, held it in his hand and squeezed it lightly, it turned into dust and scattered without any moisture.

This made him frown and look dignified.

After listening to what Qin Shaoyou and Monk Ma said, he nodded in agreement: "This drought is really weird, it doesn't look like a natural disaster... Do you think it was caused by man?"

As soon as An Mutong's words fell, Cui Yougui, who had been sitting on the horse's back, closing his eyes to sense the aura, opened his eyes suddenly, and said, "Anzhi County is right, this drought may really be caused by Manipulated."

"Why, Senior Brother Cui, have you found out?"

"Old Daoist, tell me what you found."

"That's right, Daoist Cui, tell us what you found."

Qin Shaoyou, Monk Ma, An Mutong and others all turned to look at Cui Yougui.

Perhaps because he knew the seriousness of the situation, Cui Yougui didn't pretend to be a secret, and directly told his discovery:

"I used the secret method to sense the Qi of the Five Elements around me just now, and found that the water vapor here in Mianyuan County is not only weak, but also abnormal, as if it was suppressed by some kind of force!"

Hearing this, everyone in the team either guessed in surprise, or cursed angrily.

"Is there a power to suppress the water vapor?"

"So, the drought in Mianyuan County was really caused by man?"

"Who could have caused this drought? What's his plan?"

"No matter what the plan is, for the sake of his own selfishness, if he makes people miserable, isn't this bastard afraid of having a son without an asshole?"

Monk Ma glanced at the children on the carriage, thoughtfully.

"Could it be the ghost of the Black Lotus Sect monster?"

Shan Daonian frowned and said, "Impossible? The black lotus demons in Mianyuan County have been wiped out in the past two months. How can they have the power to do such a thing?"

"They don't have the strength to deal with the drought in Mianyuan County now, but what about before?"

"Before?"

"According to the news sent back by the scholar, the drought had already started a few months ago, but it was not taken seriously. And a few months ago, it was the black lotus demon who deployed in Mianyuan County and wanted to establish a black Was it during the Lotus Buddha Kingdom? Could this drought be the result of the establishment of the Black Lotus Buddha Kingdom? Our lord's brilliance and prowess made the plan of the Black Lotus Sect fail, so they activated the remaining power of the Black Lotus Buddha Kingdom, Let the drought expand, so that the lives of the people will be burned, so as to vent their anger and revenge on the Lord and our town demon?"

"this……"

Everyone frowned.

Needless to say, Monk Ma's guess is not impossible.

After all, those people from the Black Lotus Sect have no humanity and can do anything.

Even Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but wonder, this weird drought, couldn't it really be caused by the black lotus monster?

So he immediately ordered a team of night watchmen who were good at investigating cases, and asked them to follow Zhu Xiucai to investigate the cause of the drought when they arrived in Mianyuan County.

Then he glanced at the dry land around him, and said: "No matter what the truth of the drought is, the most urgent thing is how to deal with and resolve the drought."

"That's right."

An Mutong nodded, agreeing with Qin Shaoyou's words very much.

He is the county magistrate and civil affairs official, and the drought under his rule is the top priority that he must deal with immediately!

"Brother Cui, can you ask for a heavy rain?"

Qin Shaoyou turned to ask Cui You ashamed.

Nothing alleviates a drought like a heavy rain.

It was rare for Cui Youxuan not to pretend to be coercive, nor to show off his abilities. He nodded solemnly and said, "I'll try, if it doesn't work, send a letter to ask my master to come and ask for rain."

When Qin Shaoyou heard this, a look of astonishment flashed across his face.

Brother Cui didn't take the opportunity to brag, and was even willing to ask Zhenren Zhang to come out to help. It seems that he has really grown up.

At the same time, there are several questions in Qin Shaoyou's mind.

The drought obviously didn't last a day or two. According to Zhu Xiucai's investigation report, the yamen and gentry in Mianyuan County also sent people to Fucheng to report and ask for disaster relief.

But why, in Fucheng, neither the Fuya nor the Zhenyaosi have received the disaster report document from Mianyuan County?

Is it the people they sent to send messages that all had accidents?

What about the paper crane talisman? Was also intercepted?

But why is there no problem with the paper crane talisman exchanged with Zhu Xiucai?
