One soul after another returned to his original position, Bai Zimo's body shook as if on a swing, and then he passed out.
"Take Master Bai down and all the disciples who have nothing to do will retreat."
As soon as Xiao Yu and others returned to the mountain gate, they were discovered by some disciples, so the core disciples came here immediately to follow the instructions.
"yes……"
Yu Shiqing immediately had Qinglong sent to the back hall room, and the other disciples also retreated one after another.
We haven't seen each other for several months, but there is still no progress in the cultivation of these disciples. He Gui was born with a Taoist body. Although his cultivation has improved, he is restless and not very stable.
The other party used to be a policeman, but later he went up the mountain to join Taoism because he was attacked.
But the other party wholeheartedly believed that practicing Taoism was just a crooked and evil way, and it was difficult to achieve elegance, so he was always resistant to it.
Xiao Yu's return this time is to let the other party enter the world of mortals to experience again and stabilize his mind of cultivation, so that he can be entrusted with important tasks in the future.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of his excellent body to cultivate Taoism by continuing to be in such a state of neglect.
"Shijie, you've been working hard in the past few months. Now that I'm back, I'll give you half a year's leave and go back to visit your family."
Since Liu Shijie came to Maoshan, he has always been serious about his work and dare not be careless, so he looks much older.
Moreover, the other party's spiritual energy inhalation was too slow to nourish his own body, so he looked extremely old.
"Thank you for the kindness of the master. Shijie has been on the mountain for many years. He knows that his immortality is shallow and he cannot achieve greater breakthroughs.
Now that the master has returned, Shijie wants to go down the mountain and go home to support his parents."
Originally, Liu Shijie and Xiao Yu still had a good relationship for a few years, but the sudden changes that occurred to Bai Zimo and the others brought this good relationship to an early end.
In fact, Xiao Yu knew that Liu Shijie was forced to go back and start a family because of his parents' death threats. Coupled with the pressure in recent months, he had to make a choice.
Xiao Yu didn't point it out, but just nodded and agreed to the matter.
The so-called parents are not traveling far away, and the other party has to go back to fulfill their filial piety. This is also a matter of common sense. Moreover, the other parent's health seems not to be good.
"Now that you have decided, I will not press any harder. You have been loyal and courageous for Maoshan these years. When you come down from the mountain, you can withdraw one million from Maoshan's account for future shelter.
If something happens, you can still go to Maoshan, and my door to Maoshan will be open for you."
Xiao Yu can only do this. He is already beyond ordinary people. If he interferes forcefully, he may disturb the fate of the other party and make the other party impoverished and lose everything for the rest of his life.
Hearing that Xiao Yu agreed to his request, Liu Shijie had a touch of sadness on his face.
Although he doesn't want to leave, he must obey his parents' words.
Moreover, there is only one son in the family, and he is a relatively traditional person. If he cannot continue the family lineage, he may have uneasy conscience for the rest of his life.
"Thank you, Master."
When no one is around, Liu Shijie calls Xiao Yu the fourth brother, but the current situation is special, so the rules cannot be messed up.
"I haven't been at Shanmen in the past few months. Please tell me about the situation on all sides."
As soon as he returned to Maoshan, Xiao Yu noticed that there were several different kinds of hostility here, and they were all trapped by the seven emotions.
"Since the leader left, the ghost tower has been handed over to the ghost girl in white, but she has been leaving frequently recently, so some powerful ghosts from the ghost tower often go out, and several ghost kings have never come back since they left.
There is also a little demon in the demon tower who got tired of the boring life here and fled into the mountains.
I sent people to summon him, but they did not come back."
Liu Shijie briefly explained to Xiao Yu what had happened in the past few months, but kept silent about anything else.
After Xiao Yu heard this, he looked at Lao Bai again. He hadn't seen him for several months. Lao Bai seemed to be much more stable again, and there were more and more lines on his face.
It seems that his daughter didn't come to see him last time, which was a big blow to him, and he must have put aside his mundane matters.
"Elder Bai, how about the expansion of the surrounding peaks?"
Xiao Yu entrusted Lao Bai to manage the expansion of Maoshan, including the operation of funds.
"Reporting to the school gate, the weather has been very hot in March, there is not enough water in the mountains, and there is a lack of groundwater resources.
And most of the workers suffered from heatstroke, so work was temporarily suspended.
Now that the foundations of each hilltop are solid and all the materials have been delivered, as long as the weather gets cooler, we can continue to work."
Lao Bai said respectfully.
In fact, Xiao Yu had already understood the basic situation when he came back before, and asked Lao Bai to report the situation just to see if the other party was serious.
Moreover, when Xiao Yu came back and received the power of faith, he also learned some information from the people.
Recently, it has been June and March without a drop of rain falling for hundreds of miles around. The fields have dried up and most of the plants in the mountains have yellow leaves.
The city also began to implement a water restriction policy, and the water sold in stores began to rise crazily.
Not only that, even some other provinces are experiencing water shortages.
Without the replenishment of surface water, it is normal for groundwater to dry up after being extracted for a long time.
Many people came to Yuhua Zhenjun Temple to pray for rain, but Xiao Yu was not on the mountain at that time, so he didn't know.
He just didn't know whether the lack of rain was normal or abnormal.
Most of the people who move clouds and spread rain are responsible for the Dragon King of the Four Islands. Now the lack of water is about to cause disaster. I wonder if those gods know about it!
“The expansion of Maoshan will not happen overnight, so there is no need to rush it.
When I came back today, I saw hundreds of thousands of people walking dozens of miles to collect water. Most of the crops were withered. If there was no rainfall, there would probably be no harvest this year.
Since we govern hundreds of miles around, we must let the people live and work in peace and contentment, so I want to hold a rain praying ceremony, and you will host it, what do you think?"
Xiao Yu looked at Lao Bai and said with a smile.
When he heard that he was asked to host, Lao Bai couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Although he was forcibly improved by Xiao Yu and the others, he didn't have any real talents, so he wouldn't ask for rain or luck.
Moreover, praying for rain without permission is openly promoting feudal superstition, which is officially prohibited. If you want to ask for rain, you need official permission.
Since we live in a mortal world, we need to abide by mortal laws, otherwise the balance between them will be broken.
Lao Bai immediately told Xiao Yu what he thought of, but was rejected by the other party.
"You don't have to worry about government affairs, I will explain it naturally.
Maoshan is a newly opened mountain gate. If we cannot understand the sufferings of the people, we cannot accept their incense.
I have made up my mind, just go to the Yuhua Zhenjun Hall to make arrangements, and then pick an auspicious day, and I will help you succeed."
Food is the most important thing for the people. Xiao Yu has lived in the countryside since he was a child and naturally knows the importance of rain, so he cannot sit idly by.
Moreover, the power of faith that helped him break through to the Earth Immortal in the first place was of great benefit to him.
In the past, he had never helped people fulfill their wishes, and he had already lost the support of the people. If he couldn't find a way to regain his faith now, I'm afraid that the Yuhua Zhenjun Palace would become an empty palace in the future.
"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away!"
Lao Bai took the order and stepped aside. Then Xiao Yu looked at Wang Yanfeng. Since he came here, he has been very diligent and his cultivation has progressed very quickly. He has now reached the second level of cultivation.
