Chapter 19 It’s reasonable for me, with white hair and white eyes, to become an immortal, right?
The next morning.
The sun has just risen.
People in the surrounding villages have cleaned up the floodwaters in their homes and taken out their belongings to dry outside.
Everyone looked exhausted, so tired that they could hardly straighten their backs, but they still couldn't help but discuss with relish everything that happened last night.
The immortal appeared to save people, and the evil demon broke through the seal.
These things are the mysterious side that their ancestors, who have been working in the fields for generations, can never touch.
People from the county and towns did not plan to stay in the village. After asking the villagers briefly, they immediately set off for Zhaojia Village.
This also reminded other villagers.
One villager said, "Let's go to Zhaojia Village later. The flood water is so dirty. What if we get sick?"
The village chief listened to everyone's discussion and made the final decision: "Okay, then organize the villagers and set off together."
Unless the people in the town and the county had to work every day to earn money, most of them decided to go to Zhaojia Village. Besides wanting to see what the fields and rivers blessed by the gods looked like, they also wanted to get some of the gods' blessing and have a smooth life.
Most people are also afraid of plagues and infectious diseases, and want peace of mind.
Some smart businessmen saw the business opportunity and went to Zhaojia Village with money and people, intending to try to buy the fairy grains, and then transport the fairy river water to other places to sell it at a high price.
However, there are more than one or two people who think so.
Some of these businessmen have powerful forces and families behind them, so they immediately rushed to inform the people above them.
The county magistrate and others rode as fast as they could, fearing that they would be a step behind others.
But we didn't know what happened on the way. When we were almost reaching Zhaojia Village, we suddenly lost our way. There were rocks and rotten trees blocking the road from time to time. It took a lot of time to send people to clear these things.
Some officers looked panic-stricken and suspicious.
"Could it be a ghost?"
"There are even monsters and gods in this world, so there must be ghosts as well."
"What are you doing? Focus on your work."
The officers were scolded by the registrar and dared not speak again.
The county magistrate was a little panicked at this moment, but when he thought about the gods who had appeared in the sky above the surrounding villages, how could these ordinary ghosts and monsters dare to show up and cause trouble?
As expected.
Although there were still rocks and trees blocking the road along the way, they never encountered anything strange. After walking for several hours, the county magistrate felt exhausted and ordered them to stay and rest.
After daybreak, the group set out again.
The journey became smooth instead, which made the officers and others more convinced that there were demons or ghosts causing trouble last night, deliberately blocking the road to play tricks on them.
In fact.
All of this was done by Bai Yuan secretly controlling the energy ball. His purpose was to make the county magistrate and his entourage arrive at Zhaojia Village later, so that more people could arrive at Zhaojia Village first.
It's time to expose your identity to the public.
…
It was just daybreak.
This blessed river attracted a large number of people. The villagers of Zhaojia Village were helping to maintain order, allowing everyone to line up to get water and not quarrel.
No one wanted to cause trouble, so they all did as they were told.
Bai Yuan's gaze fell on villager after villager, absorbing the expressions of wonder, awe, and gratitude that were aroused by this glowing river.
Liujia Village, which is adjacent to Zhaojia Village, looked at them with envy.
Why is there no river next to their village? Otherwise, the river that has been blessed now must be Liujia Village.
Every villager in Zhaojia Village held their heads high and was very proud of this.
People from the town also came one after another. Everyone remained quiet, bowed toward the river devoutly and reverently, and then carefully scooped a bucket of water back.
Every household fetched water based on the number of people, and some people rolled their eyes and quietly scooped an extra bucket of water. Although Bai Yuan could not judge the number of people in the families of those people scooping water, this water condensed his energy.
Anything that has been used with water cannot be used again.
The energy in the river is limited. If others take more than that, people who really need the water will get sick.
As for the problem of buying and selling water at high prices, he also thought of a solution.
That is to use the energy in the water to monitor these humans. As long as he hears someone mention the word "money", he can sense it immediately and take back the energy.
Just at this moment.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard.
The people by the river turned their heads, looking a little surprised.
They are the county magistrate and the constables.
The county magistrate dismounted and glanced at the glowing river in front of him. With surprise and greed in his eyes, he immediately said in a deep voice: "The immortals blessed this river. It is a blessed land of immortals. How can you mortals take water at will?"
He didn't care what these civilians thought and directly ordered the officers to drive these people away and ordered them not to tell anyone else about the Fairy River.
Many people are angry but dare not speak out.
Some people were anxious and helpless and said: "But, the immortal said that he blessed this river so that the people would not get sick..."
The officer drew his knife: "How dare you."
The county magistrate looked at the man's clothes with a cold gaze and ordered: "This man is disrespectful to the gods. Take him out immediately and execute him on the spot."
Everyone became even more indignant and helpless.
Everyone could see that the county magistrate was making an example of someone to scare the monkeys, but they couldn't leave. If they really got an infectious disease like plague, not only would they die, but their entire family would die too.
There is no cure.
An old man suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the river, and cried, "Immortal, please show up and help us."
The county magistrate was furious, "Why don't you drag him out and beat him to death?"
The others looked at each other, and gradually, one after another knelt down, saying devoutly: "Immortal, please help us."
Since the safety of himself and his family is at stake, can the county magistrate really kill everyone?
Bai Yuan of course saw this scene, his expression showing boredom and coldness.
As expected, it was this county magistrate again.
If it wasn't for finding out the villager who reported to the county magistrate in the original plot, and also for making the county magistrate notorious, his death would have been more valuable.
He had already tried to kill the county magistrate.
Bai Yuan pointed his finger and used the energy in the river to condense the fairy beast he had transformed into before. Its azure blue appearance looked mighty and fairy-like, and it exuded a faint icy air.
"roar--"
The voice suddenly rang out.
The river water splashed and made a gurgling sound.
The people by the river were startled and turned their heads around, their frightened expressions suddenly turning into surprise and disbelief.
It's a fairy beast.
"Master Immortal Beast!"
"Are you sent by the immortal to help us?"
One villager after another couldn't describe what they were feeling at the moment. They were grateful and flattered. How could they have deserved the favor of the immortal again and again?
The gigantic mythical beast flew into the air on the waves, its eyes fixed on the county magistrate and his entourage on the ground. It roared once again, causing the ground to shake and everyone to stagger.
The county magistrate turned pale and knelt down: "Master Xianshou, I... No, I just want to maintain order. Please don't bear grudges..."
The immortal beast spit out icy particles from its mouth and flew directly towards the county magistrate and the runners.
The icicles were small but sharp, and they cut their clothes and skin. The blood was flowing and the pain was so severe that they could not help but roll on the ground.
After the fairy beast taught the man a lesson, it slowly sank into the river again and disappeared.
There was a light in everyone's eyes, and they were trembling with excitement, kowtowing to thank the immortal for taking charge of their affairs.
The county magistrate got up in a panic and retreated with the help of the police officers.
The villagers got up one after another and continued to line up to scoop water. Some people immediately gave up their thoughts of making a fortune by selling water, for fear that they would also be punished by the immortal.
The other side.
The county magistrate took people to Zhaojia Village and asked the village chief to make room for them to rest, and then sent people to the town to find a doctor to bandage and treat their wounds.
The village chief didn't dare to anger the county magistrate, so he had to do as he was told.
The county magistrate endured the pain and sat uncomfortably. He never expected that the immortal would punish him because of these ants. After his inner anger, he felt infinite fear.
He was rejected by the immortals.
Then...can he still get water smoothly?
The people sent by the county magistrate earlier came to Zhaojia Village one after another and reported what had happened last night truthfully. Their tone and expressions were full of reverence and enthusiasm for the immortal.
The county magistrate became even more annoyed and frightened after hearing this.
The men under him were also afraid of being infected with plague and infectious diseases, so they suddenly came up with an idea: "Let these people scoop up water to drive away the disease for the adults?"
The county magistrate was delighted.
These people followed the order and successfully fetched water and put it into the basin. The county magistrate looked at the glowing water with surprise and regret.
It would be great if the river could always have this effect.
He reached into the basin, and the clear water suddenly became turbid and emitted a faint foul smell. The county magistrate stepped back in shock, "What's going on?"
Everyone was confused and panicked. The county magistrate asked them to try to wash their faces with the fairy water one by one, but the water became turbid, including that of the people who were ordered to scoop water.
The county magistrate had a bad idea in his mind and said in a panic, "You guys, go and scoop some more water."
When these people came to the river, someone recognized them and asked them about scooping water before. They calmly explained: "I scooped water for others."
The other party suddenly realized.
These people's hearts were beating fast. When they were about to get close to the river, a flash of light suddenly appeared, and these people were thrown far away. Like the villagers of Zhaojia Village before, they staggered and fell to the ground.
These people ignored the pain and raised their heads in panic.
The villagers gradually gathered around, looking wary and suspicious: "What did you guys do to make Xianhe so reluctant to let you get close?"
These people didn't dare to explain and hurriedly threw down the buckets and ran out.
On the way.
These people regretted their actions beyond words. Who could have imagined that after the county magistrate was disliked, they would also be affected? Obviously, there was nothing wrong when they fetched water for the first time.
But it's too late to regret.
After listening to the reports from his subordinates who had returned, the county magistrate became even more frightened.
It's over.
It's all over.
At this moment, a villager looked around quietly, made sure that no other villagers were paying attention here, and then bent down and touched over.
The officer drew his sword: "What are you doing?!"
