one year later.

The Quli people along the southwestern coast have not seen rain for three consecutive months, and the sky is strange. The rare drought has gradually disturbed the hearts of the people, and the older people in the family have tried to persuade them to no avail. If the drought continues, the crops grown by the ethnic groups will fail.

Droughts in the coastal area are rare, and the dissident elders have to use this to expose the evil influence of the current patriarch. Rumors spread everywhere, and the already turbulent people's hearts in the clan gradually became chaotic.

Liu Songzi, a loyal servant who served by the Zongzhang's side, heard some eunuchs gather together to gossip early in the morning, so he held back his temper and did not scold and argue, and passed the things Zongzhang explained to Elder Yan's ears, and returned After entering the Zongyuan, they began to fight for their Zongchang's injustice.

Dongyue, the little girl who was in charge of tending the flowers and plants, saw that he was aggrieved, and after inquiring, she knew that there were more and more gossip about the Zongzhang outside. After listening, she stood with Liu Songzi.

Liu Songzi looked left and right, and said: "This rain praying ceremony is probably unavoidable. You said that the Quli people were born around the sea, but this year there is a rare drought. Punishment, God's punishment will end only if he goes down, it's really ridiculous."

The little maid gave Liu Songzi an elbow: "You should say a few words less, so as not to reach the Zongzhang's ears."

Liu Songzi sighed: "Hey, I don't know if the danger can be saved after the ceremony. Even my mother complained. If there is no harvest this year, I don't know if I can reduce the tax next year."

The little maid glared at him: "Speak less."

Liu Songzi shut his mouth obediently, and in the evening, he heard outsiders discussing that the patriarch would hold a ceremony of praying for rain in the past two days. As soon as the news spread, it seemed that everyone was sure that it would rain.

The people all regard the Zongzhang as the most close to the gods, as if the Zongzhang should be omnipotent, but Liu Songzi has been with the Zongzhang for nearly ten years, and he also knows that the Zongzhang's mastery skills are all learned overnight. Yes, if one were to be endowed with divine power after birth, wouldn't one have already become an emperor long ago.

After Puyuan returned to the Zongyuan in the evening, Liu Songzi hurriedly stepped forward and handed in the note from Elder Yan, bowed his head and lowered his eyes and said: "Master Zong, Elder Yan said that Elder Mu might find someone to make trouble during the ceremony."

After reading the note, Pu Yuan returned to the house and burned it with a candle.

"nothing."

All the rumors were caused by the drought, Pu Yuan walked to the window, his brows seemed to be frozen with unmelted frost, his deep and stern eyes could not discern the wink.

Liu Songzi quietly served the brewed tea and put it away. Looking at the tall figure standing with his back, he knew that the Zongzhang was probably watching the sky at night.

Liu Songzi didn't dare to speak nonsense, let alone speculate.

Since the weird heavy rain a year ago, followed by the drought in recent months, the Zongzhang has become more and more cold in the past year, and even his brows are covered with a little gloom. In front of him, he said a few words, although the head of the clan was cold-tempered, he would not blame him.

Now Liu Songzi was just doing business, and if he asked one more word, the eyes of the Zongzhang would make him shudder, and he couldn't help it, so he could only whisper a few words to Dongyue, the little maid in the garden.

Liu Songzi and Elder Yan arranged everything needed for the ceremony within two days. The auspicious time had just arrived, and the patriarch, dressed in a dark blue sacrificial robe, stepped into the rain-prayer ceremony in time.

The joy of the wizard spread throughout the temple, and the pious onlookers were not allowed to enter the altar, and they all waited outside the temple looking up at the sky and praying.The dry land dissipated the sultry atmosphere, and the wind condensed in the air was hot. As time passed, waiting among the crowd gradually became an anxious thing.

The patriarch of the Quli clan was standing in the altar at this moment, looking down at a group of people prostrate on the ground from above.The sky was clear, and the light before evening covered the entire land. The long-baked soil was glowing faintly under the halo of the light. There was no cloud or wind, and everything was not a sign of rain.

An hour later, the people began to whisper, and anxiety and fear filled the hearts of these devout people. When their prayers seemed to be in vain, just a few words of gossip could easily push their restless mood.

Standing on the stone steps, Liu Songzi covered his sleeves with his sleeves and quietly wiped away his sweat. The black heads slowly moved under the altar. He frowned, looking at the cloudless sky in front of him, and praying anxiously for the rain god to come.

It took about a cup of tea to pass, and the land that had been scattered by the sun a moment ago gradually cast a faint shadow. As the shadow deepened, there were dark clouds above their heads that surrounded them from all directions. The vision was dim, and the wind blew , The rolled up soil was blown into the eyes, mouths and noses of the prostrate people. They didn't care to wipe it. Even if they swallowed a mouthful of soil at this moment, they were also excited by the dark clouds above their heads.

It is going to rain.

Everyone cheered, Liu Songzi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, ran down the long steps with a smile, and said, "The Zongzhang prayed for rain and appeared!"

The voice was spread from ten to ten, and the anxious hearts of the people were shaking and anxious because of the change at this moment. The loyalty to the patriarch became more and more fanatical. Seeing this, Liu Songzi met the eyes of Elder Yan who was on the side. Elder Yan has always supported Pu Yuan's succession. His seniority and qualifications were all in front of his eyes, and if he spoke in the first place, he won another wave of people's hearts, and showed a sarcastic smile to Elder Mu, whose plan had failed.

The elders outside the altar had strange thoughts, and the patriarch of the foreign race on the altar felt the cool rain falling on his forehead.A few snake-like lightning bolts slid past in the distance, the thunder rumbled, and the rain gradually turned into beans and fell down in the roar. The pouring rain blocked the vision, and the smell of scorched mud rose. Baptism, raised arms and shouted.

Pu Yuan watched everything calmly, and caught a faint fishy and sweet smell under the rain.

Pu Yuan raised his unsettled eyelashes, waited half an hour for all the people outside the altar to disperse, then ordered his servants to wait outside, then turned around and walked into the altar, moving up the stone steps step by step.

The smell of burning incense candles used in the sacrifice was mixed with a little sweet and fishy smell. This unique smell became stronger and stronger, as if returning to the situation seen a year ago.

The shark flapped its silver-blue long tail, and the shore of the stone wall was wet, and the rich fragrance strongly invaded the lungs. The shark demon raised its slightly pointed ears, and looked sideways at the people who walked to the stone wall and stopped.

He flicked his tail and turned his face away from his innocent and alluring face, as if he was in doubt.

The little merman stretched out his webbed claws and picked up a spray of water towards the patriarch of the alien race on the stone wall. Even if the most solemn and precious sacrificial robe fell into the water, the frozen ice between his brows did not melt, and he looked down coldly. he.

Shark babbled twice, remembering that he is proficient in some human languages ​​now, he opened his mouth, and the shark's sound was sweet, crisp and long, and swayed into Pu Yuan's ears.

"Rain, I hired it."

In fact, there are some rain clouds today, but the rain will not be as majestic as it is now.The shark demon has the ability to call the wind and call the rain. He understood the prayer conveyed by the patriarch of the foreign race in the chanting of the sacrificial language, and caused the rain. Long as a fairy.

The shark demon didn't take it seriously, and flicked its tail forcefully.Pointing at the slender and flat belly with sharp webbed claws, Shark said, "Hungry."

Liu Songzi was summoned by the flamingo order to deliver the food to the altar, and when he saw the long blue tail swimming on the water under the stone wall, he let out a sigh.

A year ago, I thought that encountering a shark was just a dream, and I didn't want to see the shark again at this time, as if I was in a blue fantasy.

The silver-blue long tail of the shark rolled the water into a vortex. After a long while, a moist and enchanting face floated up from the center of the vortex. Although the shark is a monster, there is no part of its eyebrows or eyes that is not charming, but upon closer inspection He is also pure and innocent, it is impossible to say that there is not one place where he is not deceptive, and there is not one place where he is not pure, it is really weird.

The loyal lord's servant took out the meals and snacks from the food box and put them on one by one without looking sideways. A silver-blue light flashed, and the little shark landed firmly in front of the two of them, hooking a stone with its tail. , actually sitting upright like a human being, poking a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus candy into the mouth with webbed claws, narrowing her frivolous eyes slightly, obviously enjoying it.

However, the shark's pretentiousness quickly returned to its original shape, and the shark was still a shark. Even after a year passed, the shark's nature remained unchanged.

In the eyes of the two of them, the Shark Demon was sluggish all over, his soft bones were generally not in shape, and his eyes raised slightly after taking a bite.The servant of the sect had no intention of seeing it, and immediately lowered his head. This mermaid-like charm made his mouth dry.

Pu Yuan said: "Go down."

Liu Songzi took the words and left the altar in silence.

Shark swept away the food, and his eyes rested on the cold and handsome face of the patriarch of the foreign race curiously, as if he had regained a little familiarity with this person.

Pu Yuan didn't avoid the fish's probing eyes, Xiao Ying patted his belly, and licked it with his bright red and moist tongue: "Eat."

Pu Yuan issued another fire crane order, and Liu Songzi, who was loyal to the lord, resigned and went back to prepare meals. This time, he brought more flower cakes and pastries.

The small shark brought a timely life-saving rain to the land of the Quli people that had been dry for several months, and Pu Yuan left the shark in the altar with a snack. The daily task of the loyal Lord Liu Songzi was to deliver food to the altar He wanted to satisfy that beautiful and charming shark, but he couldn't satisfy all of them.

These are the orders of the suzerain.

A few days later, the fishermen who went out to sea at night gradually spread some words, saying that they heard fairy-like singing in the middle of the night, and they continued to have sweet dreams after they returned. I fell asleep and dreamed.

Liu Songzi reported what he heard to the Zong Zhang, and at the same time secretly sweated.The mermaid's singing can make people fall into a dream for a long time. After a long time, it will devour people's will and confuse people's hearts. The mermaid's singing has been passed down from ancient times to the records of harming human life.

That night, Pu Yuan heard the mermaid song floating in the wind on the coast, several lonely fishing boats floated on the sea surface, and the fishermen who sneaked out at night lay on the coastal reefs, dreaming of life and death.

The shark demon is a disaster.

The complexion of the young patriarch of the foreign race was difficult to discern. Before dawn, Xiao Yu returned to the altar to wait for someone to bring him food, but he saw the patriarch standing in front of him looking at him, his deep eyebrows covered with thin ice.

"If you want to eat today's meal, come back with me."

The shark demon's long fish tail was hooked behind the young Zong Zhang's waist, and the whole shark was completely wrapped in the long black fur.

Shark hadn't been hugged by anyone before, and the sweet fishy smell flowed between the bodies of Shark and Zongzhang. Shark wanted to flick her tail, and she raised her beautiful eyes to meet the cold gaze, and curled her tail.

In order to eat today's flower cake, shark can only endure.
