Chapter 1678: The Demon's Backer, Dragon Son and Dragon Daughter

Willow head on the moon, after dusk.

As soon as the maid Ping'er woke up, she started to cook dinner.

Su Mingzhe picked up the still sleepy Liu Ruyan, jumped into the spring and started swimming.

The mountain spring water is crystal clear.

When Liu Ruyan first entered the water, she was a little panicked and could only cling to the man like an octopus.

After a while.

As the water surface rose and fell, Liu Ruyan gradually felt the joy of swimming. Then, under the guidance of the man, she loosened her slender legs, and her pair of snow-white feet swayed gently in the spring water.

Just as Liu Ruyan closed her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering as she experienced the joy of playing in the water.

Su Mingzhe frowned suddenly, waved his hand and sent out a sword energy towards the distance.

Ten miles away.

A demon was chanting a spell, preparing to wield a pitch-black sword to cut off the water veins of Mojia Town.

A sword energy flew over from a distance, and the demon instantly disappeared.

……

Until late at night.

Su Mingzhe, riding a breeze, brought the sleeping Liu Ruyan and her servant back to the Taoist temple.

After covering the two women with summer quilts, Su Mingzhe activated the Qingyun Temple's defensive formation and then headed towards a hill in the north.

……

Mojia Town is located thirty miles northeast of Shuizhu County.

About thirty miles further north is a hill called "Baihu Mountain".

Fifty miles further north from Baihu Mountain is the Yangtze River.

At the top of Baihu Mountain, there are more than a dozen monsters gathered at this moment.

The leader was a big monk with a face full of flesh.

The big monk counted the number of people, his face twitching, and said viciously:

"That idiot Qingxu actually killed so many of my people. I will never be on good terms with him!"

“Irreconcilable!”

“Irreconcilable!”

The group of monsters were all the monk's men, so naturally they responded one after another.

"Big Mouth, White Silk, Green Head, Black Back... You will continue to ambush the water veins in various places tomorrow. Big Fat, Spotted, you two will go to various places to cut off the local mountain and river water veins..."

Following the monk's instructions, the demons responded one after another.

……

Su Mingzhe hid in the dark, waiting for the monster to disperse. Seeing the big monk flying away, he hurriedly followed.

The two flew one after the other for a quarter of an hour. They had already left Shuizhu County, and the big monk entered a manor.

"It turns out that this great monk is actually a playboy!"

Su Mingzhe frowned when he heard the obscene noises coming out of the manor.

Just as he was thinking about whether to go into the manor to check, he saw fog surging all around, which actually hid the manor.

At the same time, Su Mingzhe smelled a fishy smell from the sea that shouldn't have been nearby:
"It turns out there is a mirage dragon causing trouble."

……

The next day.

Su Mingzhe got up early and before he had breakfast, he heard the mayor Liu Quan knocking on the door.

"Husband, I'm afraid they are here to urge you to pray for rain again."

Liu Ruyan's eyes were filled with worry. She had heard from the man yesterday that the water vapor was controlled by a group of demons controlled by the Buddhist sect.

If my man were responsible for praying for rain, I'm afraid he would inevitably have conflicts with Buddhism.

"It doesn't matter. I have already borrowed the rain water."

Last night, Su Mingzhe met the big-headed monk's backer, so he naturally felt more confident.

……

An hour later.

Su Mingzhe followed Liu Quan to the county town.

The new county magistrate, Zhao Yi, and many of the county's magicians all went out of the city to welcome him:
"Master, you are here!"

"Your Excellency, do not worry. I already know the situation."

Su Mingzhe first appeased the county magistrate, and then gave Taoist Qingxu a look, indicating that he knew what to do. Not long after.

Everyone came to the rain-praying platform.

Su Mingzhe then spoke to everyone:

"Yesterday, Taoist Qingxu prayed for rain and found out the reason for the drought. It was because of the Five Gods. These Five Gods are not only numerous but also have many mountain spirits and water monsters who have been practicing for thousands of years. If we rely on just one family, I'm afraid it will be difficult to accomplish the task!"

"So, I suggest that we all take action together!"

"Nanshan Temple is willing to follow Brother Su's arrangements!"

Qingxu was the first to come out in support.

He knew that Su Mingzhe's magical powers were far superior to his, but he never came to the county town to compete with him for incense.

Without the dispute over incense, Qingxu no longer cared about the title of the best magician in the county.

Other Taoist temples are usually suppressed by Qingxu and Su Mingzhe. Today, many gentry gathered here. They wanted to show off their wealth, but they also knew that today's matter was dangerous, so they did not dare to be the leader and could only speak out to support Su Mingzhe.

Seeing that everyone expressed their willingness to obey orders, Su Mingzhe began to arrange a plan for everyone.

Soon, only Su Mingzhe, County Magistrate Zhao Yi, and the local gentry were left in front of the rain-praying platform.

……

Three quarters after noon is when the Yang energy is strongest in the day.

According to the theory of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, things will eventually decline after reaching their peak.

At four quarters past noon, the Shaoyin Qi emerges from the earth's veins.

Su Mingzhe performed a ritual in front of the rain-praying platform, drawing in the Shaoyin Qi and combining it with the water vapor he had borrowed last night. With the presence of wind and thunder, sweet rain began to fall.

……

At the top of Baihu Mountain, the dead body of a tiger was lying there.

Two witches are cooking tiger whip.

Last night, the big monk was drinking and chatting happily with a young man in green robe.

As the rain fell, before the monk could react, the green-robed young man's face suddenly turned pale:

"Whose rain master is this? How dare he disobey orders and bring rain to Shuizhu County?"

"Eighth Master, this rain comes at a strange time!"

Seeing that the green-robed youth had finished speaking, the great monk looked up at the clouds carefully, and then he said in surprise:

"Look at the clouds, they are so low, I'm afraid they are not the right way!"

The young man in green robe, the Eighth Young Master, had already noticed these things without the monk's reminder.

Not only that, he also recognized that the water vapor in the clouds came from the Yangtze River not far away, which immediately made him very angry.

You know, the nearby Jiangdu Dragon King is his uncle. He had already informed his uncle that without the imperial decree from Heaven, Shuizhu County would be in drought for two months.

Now, some people are using the water vapor from the Yangtze River to bring rain to Shuizhu County, which is simply a slap in his face.

Just as the two of them stood up and prepared to go to the Yangtze River to investigate the situation.

A sword light flew from a distance and directly cut several people on the top of the mountain into two.

Another Samadhi Fire fell from the sky.

The big monk was only at the Golden Core stage of cultivation, and the two female demons couldn't even completely transform.

When the three of them came into contact with the Samadhi True Fire, they instantly turned into ashes and disappeared.

When the Samadhi True Fire fell on the green-robed young man, a fierce colorful light suddenly burst out from his body.

"What a wicked thief! Fortunately, I always keep my amulet with me!"

Seeing that his plan to play dead was foiled, the young man in green robe didn't bother to avenge his friend. He simply turned into a ray of light, disappeared into the water vein, and escaped.

……

"What a mirage dragon! Although his cultivation is not high, he has many ways to escape!"

Su Mingzhe's spiritual sense covered the entire Shuizhu County. If he really wanted to kill the mirage dragon, he would not fail.

However, the mirage dragon had an extraordinary origin, and Su Mingzhe had no roots in this plane, so he didn't want to get involved and let him go.

After the mirage dragon left, Su Mingzhe began to concentrate on bringing rain for disaster relief.

Two hours later, the county magistrate said that the rain was enough.

Only then did Su Mingzhe begin to calm down.

……

"Second sister, help me——"

The green-robed young man was slashed by the sword. Although he did not die, he was seriously injured. He fled all the way to his second sister, Princess Taihu, for help.

Princess Taihu and the green-robed youth were born to the same mother. She knew her brother's character and took her time to treat his injuries. Then she frowned and asked:
"Xiao Ba, have you gone out to cause trouble again?"
