Chapter 1896 The rain that never ends in a thousand years
"Which one?"
Xia Leng asked simply and clearly.
A clear voice sounded outside the door and said with a smile: "Kong Qingsong, the proprietor of Yuxianju, I would like to discuss something with Mr. Leng. Isn't it convenient?"
"Come in."
Xia Leng had a strange feeling in his heart, but he didn't think much about it.
I saw a young man wearing a scribe's robe and a Confucian scarf walking in slowly, saluting Xia Leng and the others: "I'm sorry for visiting you, Mr. Leng."
"It's okay, Dongzhu Kong, come in."
Xia Leng returned the greeting and then waved for him to come in.
Kong Qingsong walked into the living room with a smile, slowly took off the tea cup from the tea tray handed over by Feng Tianling, took a sip and put it aside.
"What do you want from me?"
Xia Leng looked at Dongzhu Kong and speculated on his purpose.
"It was fine originally, but rumors have been spreading around the county in recent days. For the sake of the customers in the inn, Kong felt it necessary to inform the distinguished guests in advance."
Kong Qingsong dressed like a Confucian scholar and spoke slowly and logically. Both his voice and tone made people feel extremely comfortable.
Xia Leng nodded and said directly: "Tell me, Mr. Kong."
"This rain in Beiyun County has actually been falling intermittently for almost half a year. Does Mr. Leng know?"
Kong Qingsong asked softly, like an old friend chatting.
Before Xia Leng could speak, Xiao Xiuer whispered softly: "If we knew, we would not come to Beiyun County."
"Haha, that's true."
Kong Qingsong did not pay attention to Xiao Xiuer's arrogance, but laughed heartily and said: "Actually, there has been a legend of a 'Rain Girl' in our county since ancient times. It is said that the continuous heavy rain this year is also caused by this 'Rain Girl'."
“Rain Girl?
I’ve really never heard of this.”
Xia Leng was somewhat interested in this kind of strange story, and couldn't help asking: "Excuse me, Master Kong, to tell me."
"The story is quite simple and cliché."
Kong Qingsong glanced at Xia Leng incomprehensibly, "The story is 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, provide him with study, and help him go to Lanjing.
Rush for the exam.
In the end, the scholar was indeed nominated for the gold list, but he was also captured by the prime minister of the dynasty and became his son-in-law. From then on, he stayed in Lanjing as an official..." Xiao Xiuer couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "Humph, this scholar is really a heartless man.
!”
"The story isn't over yet, is it?"
When Xia Leng listened to this story, he felt that it was indeed very cliché and tasteless. It was far different from the "Liao Zhai" and other books on earth.
"Later, the goddess must have gone all the way to Lanjing to find the scholar and brought the child with her."
Xiao Xiuer sniffed at the side and added: "But the scholar had completely changed his mind. He was afraid that the goddess and the child would delay his future, so he sent someone to assassinate them.
The goddess was so full of resentment that she not only turned into a ghost, but also cried so much that her tears turned into rain."
Xia Leng glanced at Xiao Xiuer strangely, not realizing that this little girl had some talent as a screenwriter. The little plot she added was a little bit similar to what happened to Qin Xianglian on earth.
"Mr. Leng, this maid is quite clever."
Kong Qingsong glanced at Xiao Xiuer with approval, then shook his head and said, "However, the story behind it is not so bad."
"ah?"
Xiao Xiuer was stunned, "How else could the story develop if it wasn't like this?"
Kong Qingsong replied: "The goddess just made an oath. If the scholar does not return to Beiyun County for one day, she will rain in his hometown for nine months every year."
"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 blurred: "Is that bad scholar back?"
"This is a rain that has been falling for a thousand years and hasn't stopped yet."
Kong Qingsong didn't seem to answer the question, but everyone understood. If the scholar had come back, the rain would have stopped long ago.
"Uuuuuuu..." Little girls like Xiao Xiuer and Feng Tianling have no immunity to such stories. Even if they just heard the summary of the story, they burst into tears. "Haha, of course, this is just a story that has been passed down. ."
Kong Qingsong suddenly burst into laughter and thought the expressions of the two girls were very cute. "This rain is really weird. No one can figure out the reason. That's why some people have made up such far-fetched stories. Just listen to it." Don’t take it seriously.”
Xiao Xiuer and Feng Tianling couldn't help but feel a little disgusted. They felt that these words simply ruined the scenery and ruined the poignant love story.
Xia Liang felt something strange. Dongzhu Kong was not so bored that he came over to tell him such a story. There must be something else going on.
Sure enough, after laughing for a while, Kong Qingsong saw that Xia Leng still had no intention of asking questions, and secretly thought that this little boy was really calm, but he couldn't help it anymore.
"Okay, I just talked about some irrelevant things and delayed the young master's rest time."
Kong Qingsong clapped his hands gently and stood up quickly, "I won't disturb the rest of you. Kong will take his leave now."
"Dongzhu Kong, walk slowly."
Xia Leng still didn't ask any further questions and stood up to see him off.
"No need to send each other off."
Kong Qingsong raised his hands to Xia Leng and the others. As soon as he reached the entrance, he turned back and said unconsciously: "Oh, there is one more thing. Kong almost forgot."
Xia Leng knew that the drama was coming, and the man had been grinding for almost half an hour, probably thinking about what he wanted to say now.
"It will rain for a while. For safety reasons, I hope Mr. Leng will stay calm for a while."
Kong Qingsong's tone was still calm, "If there is any strange movement in the middle of the night, be sure to..." "Don't go out?"
Xiao Xiuer added.
"no."
Kong Qingsong said with a slightly serious expression: "Don't stay in the room. Even if you get wet in the rain, remember to run outside."
After saying that, Kong Qingsong stepped forward, and within a few steps he reached the corner of the corridor and disappeared as soon as he touched his body.
"Sir, does this person have a mental problem?"
Xiao Xiuer frowned and asked in a low voice.
Xia Leng shook his head: "He is indeed here to remind us."
"Then why can't I understand what he said?"
Xiao Xiuer tilted her little head, "If you are afraid of something happening, don't you always remind others to stay in the room and don't come out? He actually asked us to run outside, and said it doesn't matter if we get caught in the rain. What if it gets cold?"
"Do you think I'm going to get cold?"
Xia Leng turned his head and glanced at Xiao Xiuer.
Only then did Xiao Xiuer remember that her son was a cultivator of immortality and had a special constitution that basically prevented him from getting sick. She couldn't help but pouted.
It was near late at night that Ji Jiu came back from outside.
"Nine brothers, have you used meals?"
Xiao Xiu'er asked.
Ji Jiuchong smiled and smiled: "I used it as early as the outside, don't bother."
"oh."
Xiao Xiuer nodded.
After a while, all four of them gathered in the study.
Xia Lei wanted to know what Ji Jiu was dressed up, and Xiao Xiuer and Feng Tianling purely wanted to hear the strange things.
"Is there any gain?"
Xia Leng asked casually.
Ji Jiu drank more than half a bowl of warm tea and wiped his mouth: "I have to find out something, but I don’t know if it is useful for the son."
Xia Leng is not in a hurry: "You all talk about it."
"There are three sayings about this rain in Beiyun County."
Ji Jiu paused for a few seconds, apparently in the word: "The first one, said that there was a goddess for a long time ..." "Nine brothers, we already know this."
Xiao Xiu'er interrupted Ji Jiu's words, "You just say the other two."
Ji Jiu stunned, and Xia Leng explained: "Just now the landlord was here, I told such a story of a goddess rain."
"Okay, then I won't talk about this."
Ji Jiu nodded. Everyone was not happy. He was not interesting to talk about it again. It was boring these days, so telling stories and listening to stories became a small condemnation between them.
"The second is to say that there is a thousand -year immortal bell in Feilai Temple in the north of the city, and no one can knock."
Ji Jiu continued to talk, and reached out the size of the clock. "It is rumored that it is a rain clock, and it will rain as long as someone sounds."
"This is a bit wrong."
After all, Feng Tianling is from Yunzhou, and I still know some things in Beiyun County. "The legend of that clock I heard when I was a kid, and I only said that it was a bell.
What. "
"Beiyun County dialect, rain is the son."
Ji Jiu smiled and explained: "There are a few mountains from Shenfeng Valley here, and the mountain sounds are not connected."
"What is the last rumor?"
Xiao Xiu'er asked.
Ji Jiulu's meaningful smile: "This third type is a bit interesting, there is a monster on the mountain outside the city, as long as it goes down the mountain, there will be rain."
Xiao Xiu'er's little face was a little blank: "What does it mean?
Does the monster take a meal for nine months? "
"This monster is not a mountain monster. It is said that it was a drop of tears of a fairy tens of millions of years ago, and the opportunity became a monster."
Ji Jiu continued: "And, what it eats is not human, nor other food, but qi."
"That's not a ghost."
Xiao Xiu'er was not surprised, and he said, "Well in the novels of the strange novels, ghosts suck yang or something."
Ji Jiu Ben wanted to explain in detail, and then shook his head. He felt that Xiao Xiu'er may not understand, so he nodded directly: "Well, you can understand it so.
As long as the rain silk is sprayed, the qi in the body will be sucked away. "
"The words of Kong Dong were a little strange before."
Xia Leng squeezed his chin and thought about it.
If the third legend is true, the suggestion that the Lord of Kong Dong let them run into the rain is quite weird.
But he felt that the Lord of Kong Dong had no resentment with them, and it didn't make sense to calculate them so, and in such a casual way.
Suddenly, Xia Leng was stunned, and his gaze walked away in the room.
Ji Jiu's expression became extremely dignified instantly, even if he felt a little wrong, Xiao Xiuer and Feng Tianling felt something wrong.
Outside the candlelight, the shadows were dense, as if they were alive, swaying slightly with the light.
Xia Leng's face tensed up, and after feeling it for a while, he suddenly softly uttered one word: "Run!"
