Pray for rain

Chapter 15

Pei Yu said: "It snows every day in Zhongshan, when will we sweep the entire temple? You can just clean the road in front of my temple."

Just as he couldn't figure it out, Xie Wei heard Pei Yu say again: "But it must be more than a trivial matter to transfer you here. On weekdays, when I handle official business, I also have to bring me some tea."

Xie Wei thought to himself, this is really a big deal, but he still said solemnly: "It's my duty to pour tea for the emperor."

Pei Xuan led him into the main hall, pointed to a small room in the main hall and said, "You can stay here, so you can be there whenever you are called."

This room is closely connected with Pei Zhen's inner hall, I'm afraid Pei Zhen could hear Xie Wei sneezes.And although Pei Yu no longer remembers what it was like in the human world, Xie Wei still remembers it clearly and accurately.

Thinking of Pei Zhen sleeping next to him, Xie Wei thought of the many nights before in the human world, the lingering eyes that Pei Zhen looked at him when he was emotional.Xie Wei's mind seemed to be filled with the loud buzzing sound of the morning bell ringing in the temple, and he quickly threw out those inappropriate thoughts.Xie Wei wanted to tell the emperor to live in the side hall, but seeing Pei Xuan's gentle but determined expression, Xie Wei swallowed what he wanted to say again.

Xie Wei still had a little selfishness in his heart. Before arriving at Zhongshan, he really didn't want to be transferred to Zhongshan.But after coming to Zhongshan and meeting Pei Yu, Xie Wei didn't want to leave.This sculpted face made the hidden emotions in his heart start to stir again.

He suddenly felt that now that he had entered Zhongshan and was by Pei Yu's side, everything might turn around.

It's just that Xie Wei didn't know that the moment Pei Zhen saw Xie Wei, he seemed to be overwhelmed and almost couldn't stand still.Xie Wei is no longer the boy in Pei Yu's dream, but his eyebrows and eyes are still the same, which makes his mind turbulent.Pei Yu calmed down and smiled at Xie Wei.Originally, he had already prepared the side hall for Xie Wei in advance, but after thinking about it, he still let Xie Wei live next door to him.

After tidying up his things, Xie Wei took the broom and prepared to sweep the snow.Seeing him carrying a broom in the corridor, Pei Yu smiled and said, "You're only here today, so don't be in such a hurry." Then she went to the study to deal with official duties.

So Xie Wei made a pot of tea, stood in front of Pei Zhen's study, knocked on the door and said loudly, "Emperor?"

Pei Yu's consciousness had already noticed that he was coming step by step, so she said to him, "Come in."

Xie Wei poured a cup of tea for Pei Xuan, and looked at Pei Xuan's facial expressions as he looked through the files carefully, which was exactly the same as when he was picking medicine in the human world.Xie Wei couldn't help smiling when he thought of the little rabbit that Pei Zhen tied for himself with dogtail grass when he and Pei Zhen went up the mountain for the first time.

Pei Yu took the teacup from Xie Wei's hand, and seeing his frown, said warmly to Xie Wei, "Thank you."

Xie Wei caught a glimpse of a dossier in Pei Zhen's hand, which described the rainwater situation in a village in the south.Seeing that Pei Yu took a sip of the teacup in his hand and put it down again, he said, "My technique for making tea is crude, please forgive me, Dijun."

Pei Yu smiled, finished the cup of tea, and said, "Please take a look at this file."

Xie Wei thought to himself, as expected, there are other tasks besides serving tea and water to clean up these chores.So I took it and looked it up, and it was written in the file that there was a drought in a village in the south.Xie Wei was very puzzled. The south has abundant rain and many floods, but droughts are rare.Then he asked: "Is it the heavens who want to punish the people here?"

Pei Yu shook his head and said: "That's not the case. The people in this village are simple and honest, so it shouldn't be like this. Besides, I see that Geng Ze is raining according to the regulations, but I don't know why there is still a severe drought. You go and call Geng Ze."

Xie Wei nodded and asked, "Where is Geng Ze Shenjun?"

Pei Yu pondered for a while, looked up at Xie Wei, and replied, "I forgot, Geng Ze went to the west to rain, and I'm afraid it will take some time before he can come back."

Then Xie Wei heard Pei Xuan say again: "It seems that you have to follow me to the human world."

Xie Wei thought to himself: It really is a temple, it is busier than Tiantong Palace.

On the second day, Xie Wei and Pei Yu came to the human world. When Xie Wei was working on the land in the human world, Zhong County had abundant rain all year round.The rain in Zhongxian County in spring is continuous, and the fine raindrops wet the clothes with the wind, making them warm.

However, looking around the village at the foot of the mountain in front of you, the withered trees and the thick grass turned into a pile of scorched withered grass.There seemed to be no one in the village anymore, and everyone who could walk should have gone.Pei Yu went to check the well at the entrance of the village, and found that the well was about to dry up.

Xie Wei heard coughing from a nearby room, so she knocked on the door.Not long after, I saw an old man leaning on a cane, opened the door tremblingly, and asked, "Who are you?"

Xie Wei smiled kindly at the old man and said, "We are passing passengers and want to ask for some food."

After hearing this, the old man immediately wanted to close the door: "Go away! I don't have anything!"

Pei Yu resisted the door and said, "Old man, we don't mean any harm, I just want to ask a few words."

The old man had no strength, so he quickly let go of the hand holding the door, and said helplessly, "Come in."

The old man sat down with his back to them, panting.Xie Wei asked, "Old man, why is there no one in this village?"

"If you can go, you will go, and you will go out to avoid it. This year, no one has come back."

Xie Wei and Pei Xuan looked at each other and asked again, "What's going on?"

The old man sighed: "Our village has less labor force, and last year's harvest was not good. In winter, there was not a single snowfall. It is said that the auspicious snow heralds a good year. How can there be no snowfall? In spring, there has never been snowfall. Rain, spring plowing doesn’t rain, and there is no food for a village. Everyone who can walk has gone, and I am the only one who can’t walk, and it’s useless.”

Pei Yu signaled Xie Wei to follow him to the corner, and said in a low voice, "Since I entered this village, I have been gathering clouds in the sky."

Xie Wei looked up, there was not a single cloud in the sky, and the sun that was supposed to be warm was as sinister as summer.I only heard Pei Yu solemnly say: "There should be monsters haunting this place."

Pei Xuan took off the water bag from his waist, stepped forward and handed it to the old man, saying: "Don't worry, old man, everything will be fine."

The old man took the water bag, weeping with gratitude.Only to hear Pei Yu ask again: "May I ask where the people in the village are buried?"

Although the old man was suspicious that Pei Zhen asked such a question, he still answered, "They are all behind the mountain."

Pei Xuan got up and said goodbye to the old man, and took Xie Wei up the mountain.

The mountain is exactly the same as the village, and all the plants have dried up.The hotter it got as we went up the mountain, even Xie Wei felt a little uncomfortable.Seeing that his lips were dry, Pei Xuan said to him, "Come closer to me."

Xie Wei and Pei Xuan got closer, and the air around Pei Xuan was cold and humid, which made him feel much better.Xie Wei asked, "Dijun, what's going on?"

Pei Xuan replied: "Right now I'm just guessing, and I won't be able to confirm it until I get to the cemetery."

When they got to the back of the mountain, they found that there were many tombs behind the mountain. It should be that the ancestors of this village would bury the dead here for generations.Pei Yu shuttled around the grave, looking for something.Xie Wei followed him, full of confusion.

Pei Yu suddenly stopped in front of a grave and sighed, "It's true."

Xie Wei carefully compared that tomb with the others, and found that despite the drought here, other tombs had dead grass on the top of the tomb, but there was no grass on the top of this tomb.

Pei Yu handed Xie Wei a shovel and said, "Dig it out and have a look."

Xie Wei went down with a shovel and found that the soil in front of the grave was extremely wet.So they dug together with Pei Xuan, and when they dug deep, the coffin was exposed, which looked less than a year old.Pei Xuan dropped the shovel and cast a spell to drag the coffin out.Pei Yu looked at the coffin and was about to open it.Xie Wei felt a little flustered, and quietly moved behind him.

Pei Xuan cast a spell to open the lid of the coffin, Xie Wei opened his eyes and saw that there was no one in the coffin.Pei Yu said: "I have already escaped."

Xie Wei asked, "Has the person in this coffin become a monster?"

Pei Xuan shook his head and sighed: "It's not a monster, it should be that the corpse was attacked by evil spirits and turned into a drought demon."

Drought?Xie Wei had heard of this kind of thing before, and it was mostly caused by evil spirits attached to people.Turning into a monster walking on one foot with disheveled hair, it is indeed not a monster, but it is a kind of evil.Drought disasters are bound to occur wherever the drought demons are located. Xie Wei has only heard of it, and this is the first time he has actually encountered drought demons.

Pei Xuan put the coffin back, filled the grave and said: "Now I don't know where that Hanba has gone, let's wait here, Hanba will definitely come back at night."

Xie Wei really didn't want to wait in the cemetery, but seeing that Pei Zhen was already sitting on the ground and began to close his eyes to rest his mind, he sat next to him and waited for the Han Yan together.

It was too hot, Xie Wei was drowsy, and couldn't help but leaned against Pei Zhen again, only to hear Pei Xuan ask: "I heard that you worked as a land in the world for a while?"

Xie Wei cheered up and replied, "Yes."

Pei Yu asked again: "Is it hard to work on the land?"

Xie Wei quickly stuck to Pei Zhen's body, and replied: "It's not hard, I clean the earth temple on weekdays, and if anyone comes to pray, let's listen to what their wish is."

"Oh? Then what do they usually ask for?"

"Some are seeking the health and safety of the whole family, some are seeking to have children, marriage, promotion and wealth..."

Pei Yu thoughtfully said: "I can't hear the prayers of ordinary people, only when there is a drought, I can hear them pray for rain."

Xie Wei smiled: "After all, the emperor is the god of rain, and he only cares about raining... Unlike the land, whose divine power is low, and he cares about a lot...so when everyone makes a wish, they can do anything..."

Seeing that Xie Wei was about to fall asleep, Pei Zhen held his hand and sent him a wave of divine power.Xie Wei suddenly felt refreshed and much cooler.He said in shame: "The little god's supernatural power is low, making the emperor laugh at him."

Pei Yu wanted to let go of his hand, but Xie Wei suddenly held his hand back as if fascinated, not letting him take it away.Seeing Pei Yu looking at him suspiciously, he quickly let go of Pei Yu's hand, and said in a disguised manner: "The emperor's hands are too cold, little god..."

Hearing what he said, Pei Xuan took Xie Wei's hand again.Xie Wei originally wanted to say no, but seeing his extremely calm face, he couldn't help lamenting the thoughts in his heart that couldn't be put into words.

It was getting dark, Xie Wei suddenly saw something jumping up and down in front of him.Before he could see clearly, Pei Xuan dragged him to the back of another grave.Xie Wei stretched out his head to look over, and was startled.That thing was neither human nor ghost, it was extremely ugly, it walked on one leg, and carried two buckets of water on its shoulders.Seeing that he had poured the two buckets of water into his own grave, Xie Wei was puzzled when he heard Pei Xuan say, "Don't move here."

Then Pei Xuan drew out his sword and stabbed at the Hanba.
