Looking from the outside, you can see a small dark cloud floating over the granary. This dark cloud is like a water bag filled with water. It opens to the courtyard, and the rainwater pours down like a river. Ordinary people often describe the intensity of rain as a heavy downpour, but the rainwater pouring down from the dark clouds can no longer be described as a downpour. It is simply like a waterfall, falling rapidly from a high altitude and landing in the granary courtyard.
p>
Li Mu had already pulled Zhang Shihong and hid under the eaves. He looked up at the dark clouds above and the waterfall that suddenly poured down from the sky, with a look of shock on his face: "Call the wind and rain! This is such a magical power! Is this old demon so powerful?
”
Only now did he realize that he had made a mistake. He originally thought that the bald old monster had returned, and he was just an old monster that could no longer walk and was about to die. Even if it had magic power, it could not be profound. After all, where could it be?
A monster on a walking stick?
And he is still so old. He is out of breath even when walking, and seems to be burping and catching cold at any time. This kind of mental state is worse than that of ordinary old people, not to mention that he is still a monster.
When a monster reaches this age, its vitality and blood are declining, and it is a sign that he will die soon.
Because Li Mu has restrained his energy and energy in his body, he is unwilling to use magic and supernatural powers to check the other party's background unless necessary. He usually acts based on his feelings.
But I didn't expect that this old monster, Guizhong, was old, but not weak. Instead, he was a big monster with amazing magical powers!
With just a bowl of tea as a guide, Li Mu can actually control the wind and rain and change the celestial phenomena. This is already a magical power!
Although the dark clouds he summoned were a bit small, and the area they covered was only limited to the granary compound. Compared with ordinary dark clouds and thunder and lightning, they were pitifully small. However, the dark clouds only covered the granary compound, without any spillage, and the strong wind was limited to the courtyard.
, the rainwater only poured into the courtyard.
These details are enough to show his amazing control over this dark cloud. He can control the celestial phenomena down to the smallest detail. It is conceivable that he has profound cultivation and proficiency in techniques.
Zhang Shihong stood next to Li Mu, his mouth wide open in surprise: "Brother Li, this... why is this dark cloud and rainstorm concentrated in our yard? Is it the fault of this old bald man?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, Master Zhou is blocking everything, so don't worry."
Zhang Shihong turned to look at Zhou Daoquan, and saw Zhou Daoquan standing under the jujube tree in the courtyard, with his hands behind his back, looking at the old demon Guizhong. When the heavy rain poured on his head, he was blocked by an invisible force. Above his head, along a
Invisible air shields flow in all directions.
Not to mention that his clothes had never been wet by the rain. Even the ground under his feet was dry within a three-foot radius around the road. He felt as if he were standing in another world, looking down at the old demon returning to the courtyard, with an expression neither sad nor happy.<
/p>
Not only did Zhou Daoquan's clothes not get wet from the rain, but Gui Zhong, who was holding a tea bowl and leaning on a cane in the courtyard, also had his clothes not get wet from the rain. When the rain in the sky passed over his head, all the rain poured into him diagonally.
In the small hole in front of you.
Inside this small hole is a grain of wheat that Gui Zhong left behind.
In the heavy rain, Gui Zhong saluted Zhou Daoquan slightly: "Sir, you are showing your shame!"
Zhou Daoquan nodded slightly: "Please!"
Guizhong said no more, raised the crutch in his hand, pointed at the ground and shouted softly: "The sky is full of water, just for the crops, please germinate quickly, head and bloom!"
As he drank softly, a green sprout suddenly sprouted from the original hole. Then the green sprout absorbed water, slowly stretched its body, and rapidly grew in size at a speed visible to the naked eye.
I saw that it was shaped like a leek, growing upwards. It was just a little green at first, and after a while it was more than a foot tall. After a while, there was already a person taller and taller. It was green all over, straight from the middle to the outside, like a small tree, but the image was
But it is the shape of a wheat plant.
"A wheat seed was planted into a wheat tree?"
Li Mu couldn't help but admire: "It can actually change the genetic form of species. What kind of magic method is this old demon using?"
He grew up in the countryside when he was a child. It was not until college that his grandfather took back his former residence from Taocheng and funded his father to open a hospital.
When Li Mu lived in the countryside, he had done a lot of farm work. He was very familiar with growing crops, and he had seen wheat countless times. Sometimes the wheat fell down, and he had to harvest it manually with a sickle, so he was very familiar with wheat.
There is no mistaking the way you grow the most common crops.
I saw that the wheat grew bigger and bigger, and gradually became like a big tree, three feet high, with leaves drooping down and pressing on the roof.
The whole wheat enveloped the entire granary compound.
At this time, the rain in the sky had stopped, the dark clouds slowly dissipated, and all the rainwater on the ground gathered under the wheat tree. After a while, the ground in the house became dry, without a trace of moisture anymore.
Looking at the dry ground, it seems as if the heavy rain just now was an illusion.
But this big wheat-shaped tree in the courtyard, which covers the whole courtyard and stands right in front of me, cannot be fake at all.
Zhang Shihong was dumbfounded: "Brother Li, how can this... wheat grow so thick?"
Li Mu's eyes flashed with fire, and under Gong Ju's eyes, he could see the big tree clearly, and said with a smile: "It's just an illusion, I was shocked!"
During his cultivation, his eyes were tempered by the pure Yang fire energy, and they already had some magical powers. Not only could they emit pure Yang fire light, but they could also distinguish evil spirits. When they were trained to the extreme, they became the legendary "Thunder Punishment Eyes". Although I only have some preliminary supernatural powers at this time, it is enough to break through illusions and gain insight into the truth.
The big wheat tree in the courtyard suddenly changed its shape under his Gonggong eyes. It no longer looked like wheat, but looked like a crutch. It was the crutch in the hands of the returning old demon just now.<
/p>
Now this crutch is stuck in the ground, sprouts branches, and turns into a big tree, turning into the shape of wheat. It is not really a wheat seed, but it has become what it is today.
What really changes is the crutch, not the seed.
"This old demon's crutches are pretty good!"
After seeing clearly the true form of the wheat tree, Li Mu just breathed a sigh of relief: "Illusion is also extremely good!"
Although the ability to summon wind and rain can be regarded as a great supernatural power, compared to being able to change life forms and turn wheat into big trees, it is still a bit underwhelming.
The magical power to change the form of life is already a magical power of creation. In Li Mu's impression, except for the Nuwa Empress in the mythology and biography, there is no other living being who can have such a great magical power.
p>
If the returning old demon in front of them really had magical powers, Li Mu and the others would simply kneel down and call daddy.
"I can tell it's an illusion, but I wonder if Mr. Zhou can tell it?"
Li Mu thought of this and turned to look at Zhou Daoquan, only to see Zhou Daoquan still standing in the courtyard with an expressionless face. After sensing Li Mu's gaze, the old master nodded to Li Mu without saying a word.
"It turns out that Master Zhou also saw that this was a clever illusion."
Li Mu suddenly realized: "He is an orthodox scholar today, and his magical powers are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Although this old demon's illusion skills are strong, he cannot hide them from him!"
I also thought that Zhou Daoquan only lent Gui Zhong a seed just now, which shows that he had already anticipated Gui Zhong's current actions.
At this time, Guizhong in the courtyard started to move again. He kept circling around the big tree, chanting strange songs. In the sound of the song, the big tree slowly stopped growing, and began to branch, branch, and ear blossoms.
A big tree is covered with wheat ears, standing straight towards the sky.
After a while, the entire trunk turned from green to yellow, and the green trunk turned into withered yellow. The ears of wheat became larger and larger, and there were more and more of them. The unique smell of wheat grains floated faintly in the air.
After a while, Gui Zhong climbed up the tree and began to shake the branches. The whole tree swayed sharply, and then grains of wheat fell like rain from the sky. In an instant, it covered the ground, knee-deep.
Stop.
Zhang Shihong's eyes widened and he murmured to himself: "If everyone in the world could grow food like this, why worry about going hungry!"
Li Mu said indifferently: "How can gold fall from the sky? Let alone food! Just look at it, do you really believe it?"
Zhang Shihong said: "This... so much wheat is piled up in the courtyard, can't you believe it?"
Li Mu smiled: "Brother Zhang, don't be anxious, let's continue watching."
Gui Zhong swayed on the tree for a while, and after shaking off all the grains from the ears, he slowly climbed down the tree trunk, cupped his hands and said to everyone: "Masters, please forgive me for being rude."
He took out a piece of dusty cloth from his arms, shook it gently in his hand, and the cloth turned into a bag. He shook it again, and the bag became much bigger. After shaking it several times,
This pocket is already the same size as a normal pocket.
After shaking so many times, I was so tired that I couldn't stop sweating from my forehead. After breathing for a while, I took out a small dustpan from my arms. When I shook it in the wind, the dustpan quickly became bigger.
He opened the bag and stood it upright on the spot. He bent down and filled the grain with a dustpan, then poured it into the bag.
His bag seemed to be the size of an ordinary bag, but even after Gui Zhong put all the wheat grains in the courtyard into the bag, the bag still looked shriveled.
After gathering all the wheat, he returned to Zhou Daozhong, knelt down and saluted: "Master Zhou, you allowed me to plant a seed three times. After three times, I harvested nothing. This first time, I have already harvested a seed."
After using it, I’m going to let my Taoist friends plant the next two seeds. Is that okay?”
Zhou Daoquan was expressionless: "How many Taoist friends do you have in Queyue Mountain Cave? What are your cultivation levels?"
Gui Zhong said: "Although there are not many, there are still three or five god-transforming Taoist friends."
Zhou Daoquan said calmly: "In a cave world, there are three or five great masters in the spirit transformation stage, which is not too many. I wonder if there are any Taoist friends who can combine and transcend the tribulation stage?"
Guizhong remained silent and did not answer.
Zhou Daoquan nodded: "It's okay if you don't say it. It seems that something happened in your cave world, which made you take the risk to come to the human world to borrow food. But now that the Great Yin Dynasty has suffered from natural disasters for many years, it is not easy for the people to survive. I can give you some food.
I sow but I can’t give it to you.”
He said to Gui Zhong: "There are two remaining opportunities to grow food. You can only plant it yourself. You cannot let others take your place. You need to inform me in advance, in front of me, or..."
Zhou Daoquan stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Mu: "You can also let Mu Zhi be a witness!"
Gui Zhong looked at Li Mu, with a hint of fear in his little eyes. After a moment, he saluted Zhou Daoquan and said, "Thank you for your mercy, sir. The whole Queyue Mountain family can't thank you enough!"
He stood up, nodded to Zhou Daoquan, looked at Li Mu, and nodded, then he carried the bag and walked out with a cane, one step at a time.
Seeing this return slowly walking away, Li Mu came to Zhou Daoquan and said: "Sir, this old monster is performing such an illusion in the court compound. He must have a conspiracy. We cannot let him leave!"
Zhou Daoquan waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter! You and I are just borrowing food. I have an old man in charge and he has magic power, so he can't borrow much!"
When he said this, he ordered Zhang Shihong: "Shihong, take people to the granary to see how much food is left?"
Zhang Shihong said: "Sir, the grain warehouse is full of food. Several grain stores are full. I just took a look this morning. There is a lot of food!"
Although he said this, he still led several grain officials to open the door of the grain depot and went inside to check.
"Why is there so much missing?"
As soon as Zhang Shihong entered the grain depot, he exclaimed: "The wheat in the grain storehouse is gone! Someone is stealing the grain!"
He ran out of the granary in a panic: "Boss, Mu Zhi, someone stole food! He stole a whole hoard!"
Zhou Daoquan frowned and said, "What are you yelling at? Is that called stealing? That's called borrowing grain! You just watched him harvest and pack the wheat without stopping him. Why do you call him stealing now?"
Zhang Shihong was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted instantly. He turned to look outside the door of the grain depot: "It's him! It's this monster who used magic to steal the grain!"
He shouted to several government officials around him: "Hurry! Get him back quickly!"
Several government officials looked at each other, a little afraid of Guizhong's method. They were more ruthless than anyone else in arresting people, but if they were asked to catch monsters, none of them had the courage.
Zhang Shihong was furious: "What? Do you have to catch me personally?"
When several government officials saw him getting angry, they immediately walked slowly outside the courtyard, hoping that the old monster would run fast enough that they would not be able to catch him.
"Okay, don't make it difficult for them!"
Zhou Daoquan said to Zhang Shihong: "I have left the matter of tracing this return to Shen Huwei to handle. You and Mu Zhi are mainly responsible for borrowing food for disaster relief. You don't need to pay too much attention to other matters."
Zhang Shihong then gave up: "Students please obey your instructions."
Zhou Daoquan tried his best to say a few words to the two of them, left the yard and returned to the county government office.
"This old demon Guizhong, borrowing food is fake, but showing off his skills is real! He deliberately revealed the news about the cave world to Zhou Daoquan, maybe he has other agendas!"
After Zhou Daoquan left, all kinds of thoughts flashed through Li Mu's mind: "I have nothing to do, so I just want to check on this returning heel!"
Thinking of this, I immediately took out a small airplane model and threw it gently into the air. The airplane suddenly broke through the air, turned into a white light, and disappeared into the sky.
The next moment, the plane expanded and turned into a drone several meters long, floating in the air, scanning the whole city, chasing the returning figure.
