Xu Chunniang used a dust purification technique and saw that all the dust on the books was instantly cleared away.
Li Zheng's eyes widened as he watched, secretly praising the Xian family's clever methods.
But I saw the immortal master gently picked up a book and started reading it by himself.
If you want to read all these county annals, you won't be able to do it in a short time.
"Master Immortal, if you need anything, you can call me at any time."
After saying this, Li Zheng left wisely.
Xu Chunniang looked through the county annals. She only glanced at the ones that were within the past two hundred years and put them aside.
I didn't take a closer look until I read the county annals with a history of more than 200 years.
Finally, when I saw one of the county records, I discovered some clues.
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment, found the previous book, looked through it and compared it, and finally determined that the changes in Yang County occurred about three hundred and twenty years ago.
Before this year, Yang County's grain output was quite abundant every year. Until this year, many crops died unexplained and the output dropped sharply.
The problem must have come from this year.
Xu Chunniang picked up the county annals of that year again and looked through them carefully.
Her eyes fell on one of the records.
"It was September. I couldn't sleep at night. I got up and walked in the courtyard. Suddenly I saw a stream of light in the air. Then I heard a loud noise coming from the west, shaking all directions. The reason is unknown."
After searching through the county annals for this year, I only found this suspicious sentence.
A look of thought flashed in Xu Chunniang's eyes, the flash of light and the loud noise, could it be a meteorite from the sky?
Unfortunately, it was such a long time ago that she couldn't find out even if she wanted to.
However, it is mentioned here that the loud noise came from the west. It is assumed that if there is a meteorite, it should also appear in the west.
Xu Chunniang put down the county journal and decided to go west in person.
The appearance of extraterrestrial meteorites is often accompanied by sky fires, but this happened three hundred and twenty years ago. Logically speaking, it should not affect it for such a long time.
Three hundred and twenty years is enough time to smooth out a lot of things.
There may be other reasons, but not necessarily.
After Xu Chunniang left Yang County and headed westward, she didn't find anything special.
However, it can be felt that the further west you go, the less water aura around you becomes.
In the end, there was no water aura at all.
Xu Chunniang frowned. This kind of situation where one of the five elements is missing is not uncommon. For example, the water aura around the spiritual spring is active, while the fire aura is scarce.
The wood and earth auras in Lingtian are extremely strong, while relatively speaking, the auras of gold and fire are not much.
It's just that Yang County is located in the mortal world with thin spiritual energy. Why is this situation happening?
Xu Chunniang went back and forth to explore this land several times, and finally narrowed down the area to a valley.
The soil in this valley is black, not a blade of grass grows, and the surrounding area is unbearably hot.
Staying there for only a short while can make people feel bored.
More than three hundred years have passed, and the terrain has not changed much. In all likelihood, this is where the meteorite landed that day.
Meteorites come from outside the sky, but no one knows where they came from.
They are extremely hard and are often used as materials for making flying swords.
As long as you add a little bit into it when refining the flying sword, the hardness of the flying sword can be increased to a higher level.
If we want to classify the grades, the meteorite iron belongs to the third-grade low-grade material, which is a material of the golden elixir stage.
But in terms of its rarity, its number is much less than other third-level spiritual objects, and it is often encountered but not sought.
Naturally, Xu Chunniang would not think that after more than three hundred years, the meteorite would still be there waiting for her to pick it up.
When meteorite appears from the sky, it is impossible for monks in the mortal world to not notice it. Such spiritual objects are often taken away by the destined person as soon as they appear.
I just don’t know who got this piece of meteorite in the end.
She came here just to explore the reason for the imbalance of spiritual energy.
Her current search was fruitless, so she naturally would not waste any more time.
After writing down the location of the valley, Xu Chunniang returned to Anchasi.
Before we even arrived, we saw many people from a distance, surrounding Jianchasi.
Some of the people among the group of people noticed that Xu Chunniang was back, and they all knelt down and kowtowed to her.
"The wheat fields were dry and about to die. Fortunately, the immortal master passed by a few days ago and used his magic to make rain, which saved the wheat fields."
"The wheat field is our life. Please ask the immortal master to do the magic and make rain to save us."
"Please have mercy on me, Master Immortal, and save the lives of our family."
Xu Chunniang never expected that her unintentional actions a few days ago would trigger the scene before her.
She was suddenly embarrassed.
It's not that she doesn't want to take action, it's just that the spiritual energy in the mortal world is thin, so she needs to use less spiritual energy. Without using spiritual stones or spirit gathering arrays, it will take at least ten days to replenish the spiritual energy by breathing in and out.
Yang County is not a big county, but it has about twenty villages under its jurisdiction. Each village has at least a hundred households, and each household has a certain amount of thin farmland.
She alone can't take care of it.
Xu Chunniang shook her head, "I am not an immortal master, I am just a Qi-training disciple. The so-called immortal techniques are nothing more than minor skills."
How can the people believe it? They only believe what they see with their own eyes.
"I beg the Immortal Master to help me, I will wait for the Immortal Master to send you."
"As long as the Immortal Master is willing to give rain, we will repay the Immortal Master just like we are like cows and horses."
"May the immortal master have mercy on us."
Xu Chunniang sighed in her heart. Even the Golden elixir monks couldn't solve the problem. How could she do it with just a little Qi practice?
Just looking at the people in front of her, all of them were emaciated and emaciated, but their eyes were full of hope. In the end, she was unable to say the words of rejection.
"That's all, you go back first and let me think of a solution. But I can't guarantee that I can solve the problem."
The people kneeling on the ground were a little confused. Why is it said that there is no guarantee that the immortal master can solve the problem with just a raise of his hand?
But they did not dare to object to the immortal master's words. They kowtowed to the immortal master they thought they had and thanked him again before leaving.
When everyone was gone, Xu Chunniang couldn't help but hold her forehead.
She is already a cultivator, so she should be hard-hearted, but why does she still feel unbearable when she sees these suffering people?
Besides, there was a drought in Yang County. She went to the source to investigate, but she couldn't even find out the cause, and there was no way to solve it.
I should have rejected it completely just now.
It's better this time, I've been in trouble for nothing.
Xu Chunniang let out a sigh of relief, feeling really distressed.
She murmured to herself, "According to the original intention of establishing the Chasi, it is to correct the path and understand the suffering of the people. It is in line with my intention to agree to this. Forget it, let's go to the valley again tomorrow."
The next day, Xu Chunniang came to the valley where she was yesterday early in the morning.
The valley was still so dark, silent and empty, nothing could be seen at all.
After circling the valley twice to no avail, she patted her head and decisively released Xiao Bai.
I almost forgot, Xiaobai is a famous treasure-hunting rat, maybe he can see something.
After these years of practice, Xiaobai's cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, reaching the sixth level of Qi training.
Xiaobai was very excited when he was released, but the next second he felt a certain kind of breath and his whole body was shaken.
Then his little head looked in the direction of the valley in disbelief.
