There is a dragon in the aquarium

Although Ao Guang looks like a bird now, his core is still aquarium. With only a wisp of spirit remaining, his existence is not very stable, and his resistance to this kind of weather is far inferior to that of Ao Run.

Therefore, these days, he either stays under the air conditioner to blow the air, or hides in Ao Run's pocket and never shows up easily.Ao Run didn't intend to take him with him today, and let Dailan Zhuqing and the others follow him directly. It would be good to be an instant long-distance walkie-talkie.In the end, Ao Guang refused to agree with anything and insisted on staying with them.

At this time, he probably heard the word "dragon" from Ao Run's mouth, and he poked out half of his head, looking furtive.

"This village has a big tone?" Ao Guang's voice was a little weak.

"Yinlong Village... Could it be that there are relatives of their Dragon Clan here?" Ying Huo joked, "Old man, are you sure you are not leading the wrong way?"

"I don't know the exact location, but there is a high probability that it is nearby." Uncle Liu glanced in all directions, "This village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and is next to the dragon's veins. It doesn't make sense to look so poor."

"Just ask if you don't." Ao Guangchong nodded the bird's beak to the villagers beside the road.

It was a man and a woman, who looked like a couple, with plain clothes and slightly darker complexion.The two held an empty bucket in their hands, and when they saw Ao Run and the others approaching them as if asking for directions, they both looked at them.

"Hello, are you going to fetch water?"

"There's a well inside, let's get some water." The man said with a slight accent, pointing to an area on the left side of the road.

Ying Huo also came forward at this time, looked at them with some doubts and asked, "Are there any villages near City A that don't have running water?"

In some particularly remote and impoverished areas, it is understandable that there is no running water, but they are in the suburbs of City A at this time.Even though it is nearly [-] kilometers away from the urban area, it is not too close. After all, it is in the administrative center. There is no reason why this village is not taken seriously.

"Of course there is. How could there be no tap water?" The woman on the side explained, "The drought in our area has been particularly severe recently. The tap water is clean and is used for cooking and boiling water. For other things like washing clothes, we just Go get the well water."

Ao Run nodded, then pointed to the crops on both sides of the road: "Then these—?"

The two villagers showed unbearable expressions.

There was once a snowstorm in City A in April, which froze and killed many crop seedlings that had just been sown. This time was somewhat similar to that time. The sudden high temperature and lack of water made most of the crops half dead.As the core area of ​​the most suffering, the village has very few surviving crops, accounting for less than [-]% to [-]%.

According to them, this place is very close to the reservoir, and the water resources themselves should be quite abundant, and there is no problem of water shortage.But the village has actually been in a relatively dry situation in the past ten years.

Drought does not mean that the villagers have enough water to drink, but the moisture of the land.It rarely rains here, even the surrounding hills are drenched with heavy rain, but the hill where their village is located doesn't even drop a drop of rain.

Bringing water from lakes and rivers to irrigate the land is of no use. Usually, the water suddenly disappears the next day, and the land returns to its half-dry state.

Therefore, most of the crops planted in their village are relatively drought-resistant crops, but the weather in the past ten days has been really bad. The whole village managed to save [-]% of them. At this time, those crops are half dead.

"This place doesn't belong to fire either—it seems that that thing is doing something weird." After hearing this, Uncle Liu shook his head slightly and smacked his tongue.

"And this village has been relatively dry for more than ten years... What do you think?" Ao Run looked at Ying Huo.

Ying Huo didn't answer Ao Run in time, he just lowered his head and frowned in thought, occasionally raised his head to look at the scenery in all directions, and then began to think intently again, as if caught in some kind of memory of his own.

"I feel... this looks a little familiar." After a while, he said slowly.

"look familiar?"

"There is a feeling of déjà vu, but I have the impression that I have never been to this village."

"You're dreaming." Ao Guang rolled his eyes at him.

At the time when Yinghuo was brainstorming, Uncle Liu was tirelessly collecting information: "Master, what do you say about 'Yinlong Village'?"

"This," the male villager smiled as soon as he said this, as if he was very proud, "Come along, I'll take you to see, the place is not far from the well."

......

After a short walk with the couple, they stopped at the bottom of a small hill after a few minutes.

This well is located at the bottom of the hill, and several villagers still draw water there.There is a not-so-steep stone step on the mountain, which seems to lead to the top of the mountain from the bottom up. The trees planted on both sides are pines and cypresses, so they are not disturbed by the drought much.

"Master, what's on this mountain?" Uncle Liu asked.

The villager smiled naively: "There is the Dragon Lord!"

"puff--!"

When Ao Guang, who was drinking water with the bottle cap, heard this, he was so shocked that he was almost drowned by the water in the bottle cap.Ying Huo looked at him with disgust, thought about the current situation, and resisted the idea of ​​pouring the bottle of water on the ground.

Everyone looked at Ao Run.

Ao Run also became interested: "Then go up and have a look."

The mountain is neither high nor steep, and it doesn't take much effort to climb it. When you get to the top of the mountain, you look around, and it is just at a height where you can overlook the panoramic view of the surrounding villages.

That old man is right or wrong, there is indeed a "Dragon Lord" on the top of the mountain, but this "Dragon Lord" lacks some spirituality, it is just a statue that cannot move or speak.

The big characters of "Dragon King Temple" came into view impressively.

This temple is not just a superficial temple that has long been abandoned. At this moment, there are still four or five villagers offering incense and praying here.

Standing at the furnace mouth in front of the temple, or kneeling inside the temple against the hot weather, they all looked reverent and reverent. Something solemn and heavy.

It was the first time he saw his real believer, Ao Run stood at the door watching this scene, turned into a statue and stood still for a long time.He watched some villagers come, burned incense and prayed, and then left, and then some villagers came again, with no carelessness on their faces.The continuous flow of people made his heart palpitate, and he was distracted for a while.

"Don't be in a daze." It wasn't until Ao Guang reminded him that Ao Run came back to his senses.

He looked into the temple.

Generally speaking, the existence of the Dragon King Temple is firstly to suppress floods, and secondly to pray for rain and blessings. Most of the people enshrined in it are the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, and the Qinglong King of the East China Sea is usually the one in the C position.

However, Ao Run just glanced at it, and saw five different dragon king statues.There are two dragon kings in the southeast, northwest and four seas on one side, but he seems to have never heard of the tallest statue in the middle.

The sculpture of that statue should be a yellow dragon, sitting there wearing a dragon robe, which is not much different from other Dragon Kings of the Four Seas except for the color.It's just strange that besides being larger, the dragon king in the middle has two wings on his back!

"The God of Heavenly Dragons, Tianyuan Yinglong Gengchen..."

Ao Run looked at the words on the tablet and read them slowly.

"Ying Long..." Ao Run thought for a moment, then turned to look at Ying Huo, "Who is Ying Long?"
