I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

"Xiaohezi, you can make up your own mind on this matter. Even if you recognize him, he will not be a descendant of my Ji family." Old man Ji said calmly, but his words could not be ignored.

This made Ji Zihe feel as if he had been splashed with a basin of cold water, and his head cleared instantly.Thinking about what the Dragon Clan told him about the past, Ji Zihe's heart was full of guilt towards his grandfather.

He even suspected that it was his grandfather who harmed their family, and then adopted him,

He has been recognizing the thief as his grandfather all these years.He didn't dare to check it out, because he was afraid that his suspicions were true.He would rather be a coward than lose his grandfather.

Fortunately, that Dragon Clan told him the truth.Although he doesn't know the true identity of his grandfather,

But his family was not killed by his grandfather. His mother secretly left him and ran away because she didn't want to be a widow.His grandfather raised him alone, and the grace of raising him is greater than the sky,

Even if it's not a real grandfather, it's better than a real grandfather.

"Grandpa, you met my younger brother, that monk Huixin, don't you quite like him?"

"It turned out to be him, how did he become a monk?"

"My mother died after giving birth to him, and his father also died later, so he was adopted by the monks in the temple."

Old man Ji snorted coldly, "Retribution."

Ji Zihe knew that his grandfather was complaining for himself. Although his mother did something wrong, his younger brother was innocent. He didn't want his grandfather to hate Huixin.

"Grandpa, the deceased has passed away, Huixin didn't do anything to apologize to me."

"Of course I know this, that's all, you can admit it if you want, but you can think clearly, he is a monk, and he is not an ordinary monk, his cultivation level is much higher than yours. Do you think he is willing to recognize you or not?" Old Man Ji said.

The old man Ji didn't mind if Ji Zihe was willing to meet Huixin, anyway, even if they met, Huixin would not enter the family tree of his old Ji's family, Xiaohezi was his only descendant.At most, Xiaohezi has one more brother, which has little to do with him.

Old man Ji's words are also what Ji Zihe is most worried about. Buddhism is a place that needs to cultivate one's mind. Huixin is a monk. If he rashly recognizes him, giving him another brother and a relationship with the world will affect his realm. hinder his practice.

It's not easy to get involved in any line of work these days. Hui Xin has cultivated in Buddhism for so many years, and finally achieved such a high level of cultivation, and he is not willing to let him fall short.

After thinking about it again and again, Ji Zihe still decided not to recognize each other for the time being, and it would not be too late to mention it later when he got acquainted with each other.He can get close to Huixin first, set a small goal first, be his good friend, good brother, and then turn the good brother into a real brother, this is not so difficult to accept.

The rain stopped as soon as it said it would stop, and the dark clouds in the sky hadn't dissipated, only a ray of sunlight slanted down from the clouds, and it didn't take long, and there was no trace.

This vision did not attract many people's attention, but it could not escape Ji Zihe's eyes.Who made him the local city god? It is impossible for him not to feel such a big thing as someone crossing the catastrophe on his territory.

Ji Zihe didn't know who the person who crossed the catastrophe was, but wouldn't this guy be afraid of hurting people when he crossed the catastrophe in the city?Look at the dark clouds in the sky, when the thunder strikes, his Ning'an County will be destroyed.No, you have to go and have a look, even if you move, you have to move people away.

Ji Zihe didn't know that Buddhist monks didn't need to go through the thunder calamity to cross the calamity. He thought that the dark clouds in the sky that would not disperse for a long time had something to do with Hui Xin's crossing the calamity.

As soon as Ji Zihe walked out of the county office, the heavy rain fell again.Since there were still pedestrians on the road, Ji Zihe couldn't use his spells well, so he had to let himself drench like a drenched chicken with a stinky face.

Ji Zihe comforted himself, forget it, it's all wet, why go back and get an umbrella.He went to the sky after finding a place where no one was around, took a shortcut and flew directly towards the Chu family.

Suddenly, he felt something and looked to the east.I saw a shooting star across the sky, flying towards Ning'an County.

Ji Zihe narrowed his eyes, trying to see what it was.As a result, in the blink of an eye, that thing had arrived in front of it, and it was actually a huge dragon head with a black flame tail.

Ji Zihe was taken aback, and was about to dodge in a hurry, but the dragon head seemed to be coming towards him, no matter how he hid, he was always on his way.

All right, let's just approve him, right?Ji Zihe simply flew to the outskirts of no one, and avoided affecting the people in the city.Unexpectedly, it was exactly as he thought, he was still on the way of the leader, he was sure, this thing was aimed at him.

Cold sweat broke out on Ji Zihe's forehead, he was just a little loose fairy, and he was still a half-hearted loose fairy.This thing doesn't look easy to mess with at all, he knows he can't beat it without trying it.

Seeing that the dragon's head had arrived in front of him, Ji Zihe murmured about his bones, and at the same time, he took out his almost unused sword and planned to fight it.

The dragon's head was huge, and he roared towards Ji Zihe with his mouth wide open. Ji Zihe didn't seem to be big enough to fit his teeth.

Ji Zihe's palms were sweaty, this was the first time he faced such a big crisis alone, and he didn't know if he could still see the sun tomorrow.

Suddenly, a small long-eared "rabbit" rushed over and kicked the dragon's head away.

The dragon head roared at the "rabbit", and the "rabbit" was not to be outdone, no matter how small it was and how harmless it looked, it was still very heroic. Fight with it in the past.

Ji Zihe was stunned. Is even a rabbit so cruel these days?

Don't look at the "rabbit" who is not big, but its strength should not be underestimated. The leader who hit it dodged around, even the black fire on his body was extinguished, and he had no power to resist.

The dark clouds rolled, the thunder rang again, and the lightning crackled and brewed above the dragon's head.Ji Zihe came alive, could it be that God is not used to it, so he came here to punish evil spirits?

Unexpectedly, the thunder and lightning fell, but it was far from what Ji Zihe thought.

Lightning strikes on "Rabbit" one after another, the fur of "Rabbit" became scorched, and the aura of his body suddenly dropped.Whenever it attacks the dragon's head, a bolt of lightning will hit it, but the dragon's head has not been hit by a single thunderbolt.

Ji Zihe's eyes widened angrily. He had seen some partial gangsters, but he had never seen such partial ones.Instead of chopping the head of a man-eating evil dragon, he chops up the "rabbit" to save people.

"I'll help you!" Ji Zihe's blood surged, and he flew over with his sword. "Rabbit" saved him, even if he was weak, he couldn't watch him fight alone.

Unexpectedly, before getting close, the ears of the "rabbit" suddenly grew longer, wrapping around Ji Zihe and throwing him out.The leader took the opportunity to open his mouth and bit the "rabbit" into his mouth, leaving only two long ears hanging out.

Ji Zihe's eyes were red, "Dragon, I will fight you."

But the evil dragon lost its arrogance, its whole head twitched, and its teeth flew out in the next second.A "rabbit" with a broken ear crawled out from where his teeth were missing. The thunder in the cloud seemed to have found its target again, and instantly struck at the "rabbit". "Rabbit" didn't dodge, facing the lightning strike, its mouth grew huge in an instant, and swallowed the dragon's head into its stomach in one gulp.

The "rabbit" that had swallowed the dragon's head turned into a small ball again, its missing ears hadn't grown yet, and its body was still bruised all over from being struck by lightning.

Ji Zihe rushed to meet him, and thanked him, "Thank you for saving your life."

Take a closer look, the "rabbit" is not a real rabbit, it just looks like one.It's not really small to say it's small, it's just smaller than the leader, but it's actually much bigger than Ji Zihe.

"Rabbit" looked at him listlessly, waved his paws and was about to leave.Unexpectedly, before it could move, another thunderbolt struck it.

"Rabbit" swayed and fell from the sky weakly, Tianlei still followed him relentlessly.

Ji Zihe was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know why Tianlei was unwilling to let this "rabbit" go, but it didn't affect his actions.Before the "rabbit" hit the ground, Ji Zihe caught him.

"Step aside!"

"Rabbit" pushed Ji Zihe away and fell to the ground.Ji Zihe looked up, and another thunderbolt was about to fall.Ji Zihe pursed his lips, closed his eyes and threw himself on the "rabbit".

Since the way of heaven is unfair, let's hack him first.

"Rabbit" widened his eyes, the sky thunder had already fallen, it was over, it was too late.

Suddenly, a huge virtuous golden light erupted from Ji Zihe's body, covering one person and one rabbit in the golden light.

The sky thunder crackled on the golden light, and it disappeared into nothingness in an instant.After more than ten thunders fell, no more thunders fell.

Ji Zihe breathed a sigh of relief, and "Rabbit" also breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Zihe lay on the "rabbit"'s furry belly, grinning, "Benefactor, I haven't asked your benefactor's name yet."

"Rabbit" looked at him calmly, "Grandson."

Ji Zihe: "???"

"Grandson." "Rabbit" said again.

Ji Zihe's tongue was a little knotted, and he asked tentatively, "Grandpa?"

"Rabbit" nodded calmly, "Oh."

Shit, what's the situation, is his grandfather a rabbit spirit? The contrast is too great.

Before the grandpa and grandson could reminisce about the old days, another meteor flew over from the east.Ji Zihe's hair is about to explode, why is he a leader again.

"Grandpa, you go first, it's coming for me!" Ji Zihe hurriedly said.

"Rabbit" didn't move at all, "I can't go, I will be struck to death by lightning as soon as I leave you. It seems that our grandpa and grandson are going to be planted here today. I think I have eaten dragons all my life, and I will be killed by dragons when I arrive." Eat, it's really useless."

Ji Zihe sniffed, really unwilling.Bones, where are you, come back quickly.

The dragon's head flew towards them, and it arrived in front of their eyes in a short while.Looking at the jagged teeth, Ji Zihe took out the river map and put it on the "rabbit", holding the sword in front of the "rabbit".Although he doesn't know how to use the river map, the river map is still a magic weapon. It should...probably be able to protect grandpa from being struck by lightning.

Suddenly, the dragon head stopped in the air and exploded.A figure appeared in Ji Zihe's sight, and Ji Zihe's heart ached, "You're back."

"Sorry, I'm late." Meng Zhang hugged Ji Zihe, who sniffled and smiled.

There was a smile on Huixin's face. In the illusion, he experienced Jinyun Buddha's life, and went through his own nine reincarnations. Finally, he completed his merits and virtues and achieved a positive result.

After becoming a Buddha, the wisdom heart is very different from before. He is like an ocean, which can contain everything, but it is full of mystery, which makes people unable to see through it.No matter how you look at him, you can only see the compassion on his face and the pity in his eyes, but you can't see any personal emotions.

Holding a lotus in her hand, Huixin walked out of the Chu family's house and disappeared.

At the same time, the relics in Ji Zihe's hands, the relics in Old Man Ji's body, and the relics in Jiu Se Lu's hands all disappeared.

"Eh, the relic is gone." Ji Zihe was the most sensitive to the relic. As soon as the relic disappeared, he rummaged through his pockets, but couldn't find anything.

"Sister-in-law, what's missing."

"It's nothing, you can continue." Ji Zihe shook his head, he collected several relics of Jinyun Buddha, which is just a souvenir.The relics were gone, and he vaguely sensed that they had gone where they were supposed to go.

The old man Big Rabbit Ji took the elixir and lay on the bed, turned over, pulled the big river map covering his body, slept soundly, and didn't realize the difference at all.

"Well, we didn't expect that after being struck by lightning, that fake would turn into a monster with nine heads, a turtle body, and eagle claws. We cut off eight of its heads and sealed its body Who knew that its head would pretend to be dead, and come to trouble sister-in-law when we were not prepared. It is really our fault, sister-in-law, please don't blame Brother Long." Bai Hu said.

Ji Zihe glanced at Meng Zhang, and said quietly, "I don't blame the bones. But, your address is wrong, you should call me brother-in-law."

Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu all looked at Meng Zhang, and Meng Zhang drank tea calmly, "See what I do, and listen to my husband."

My husband~!

Unexplained smiles appeared on San Ling's faces, and they all said in unison, "Hi brother-in-law."

Outside the house, the heavy rain poured down, and "streams" gathered on the ground and rushed out.

No one expected that the rain would never stop.The torrential rain for several days was enough to cause the river to swell and the banks to burst, and it was beyond human power to stop it.

A letter of memorials flew into Jingzhou like snowflakes, and floods broke out across the country. Qin Tianjian first said that the harem was unvirtuous, and the officials forced the emperor to abolish him, but the floods did not stop.Qin Tianjian also said that the emperor had lost his morality, and the officials forced the emperor to issue an imperial edict, but the heavy rain still did not stop.

In the face of natural disasters, people with high intentions seized the opportunity to make trouble, shouting that the emperor has lost his virtue and should step down.A team was drawn up to enter Jingzhou, but before they left the province, a flood came and everyone was swept away.

The emperor was furious, he chopped off the Qin Tianjian, restored the position of queen, and ordered all the power of the whole country to fight the disaster together.There was another person who dared to speak indiscriminately, and was directly dragged out and chopped up, without even half of the sympathy.

Ning'an County also had floods, even if the Helong King in Ning'an County listened to Meng Zhang, trying to suppress the flood was of no use.Fortunately, there was an early warning, and everyone was moved to the mountain in advance.

However, the flood did not take their lives away, but disease and hunger did.Ji Zihe has tried his best, but the whole country is suffering from disasters, they have no rescue, and the heavy rain keeps on, so they can only wait to die.

Ji Zihe also followed Si Ling to the heavenly realm, but the heavenly realm was also full of melancholy.The heavy rain was not their product. The gods in the heavens lost the priesthood they stole from the ancient gods. They couldn't stop the rain and lost control of the priesthood.

Everyone knows that Tiandao has no patience.

The way of heaven is not human, it has been following the future it has calculated.Its plans were shattered by strands, which broke its plans.It had to overturn the original plan and replace it with a new one.Whether it is a character, or a monk of gods and demons, it must be completely cleared, so that a new world can be established.

The calculation of the way of heaven has always been based on Jinyun Buddha's harmony and self-improvement.It will not kill Ji Zihe, because Ji Zihe is a part of it, and it will not have the idea of ​​killing Ji Zihe, as if it has no self-destruct program.But if Ji Zihe was drowned by the heavy rain, or bitten to death by a beast that lost his sanity, like those dragon heads who had no sanity a few days ago, then it would not be considered a violation of the rules.

Ji Zihe sat decadently on the roof of the mountain temple, staring at the flood rushing down the mountain in a daze.

Everyone didn't want him to die, but if he didn't die, the heavy rain probably wouldn't stop, and more people would die.If everyone is killed by the Dao of Heaven, then what difference does it make if he conforms to the Dao?

He didn't want his grandfather to be in danger, he didn't want his bones to be in danger, even if his death could only change their peace for a while, he was willing.

"Because you are their hope." The Buddha holding a lotus said.

"Huixin, why are you here?" Ji Zihe asked in surprise.

"Do you want to solve the current situation?" Hui Xin smiled.

"Of course I do."

"The little monk became the incarnation of Jinyun Buddha's relics, gave birth to spiritual wisdom, and achieved the fruit of reincarnation in nine generations. He also used the other six relics of Jinyun Buddha to reshape the golden body. Even so, it was still a little bit different from the real Jinyun Buddha. Heaven refused to recognize it. If you can’t become a saint, are you willing to help the little monk?”

"I……"

"He doesn't want to." Meng Zhang suddenly climbed up to the roof and said decisively.

Hui Xin smiled, "No, for the common people, he will be willing."

Meng Zhang wanted to say something else, but Ji Zihe tugged at the hem of his clothes and shook his head.Meng Zhang looked at him, pursed his lips, and finally took a step back.

"What should I do?" Ji Zihe asked.

"Please lend your soul to this little monk. This little monk needs your cover to help him cheat the heavens. After the little monk becomes a saint, he can replace Jinyun Buddha and join the heavens to end the catastrophe."

"Okay, take it."

"Aren't you afraid of death? This is a narrow escape, and you may never come back."

Ji Zihe paused, then looked down to see Meng Zhang holding his hand.

Ji Zihe turned around and hugged him, "Help me take care of grandpa and myself."

Meng Zhang suddenly smiled calmly, "Okay, if you can't come back, I will settle him down and find you again."

"Huixin, do it."

Hui Xin walked over, put her hand into Ji Zihe's chest, and took out a ball of golden light.

"In order to save time and end the catastrophe of the common people as soon as possible, I also asked the four spirits of the sky to guide the spiritual energy of the four directions for the little monk to help me become a saint."

"Okay." Meng Zhang silently hugged Ji Zihe's body, jumped off the roof, and went to look for the other three spirits.

Holding Ji Zihe's soul in his hands, Huixin looked up at the sky, the big raindrops fell in his eyes, and there was still a compassionate smile on his face.

"Heavenly, what you lack is not the golden cloud, what you lack is the exquisite heart of this little monk."

months later...

Ji Zihe smirked while holding the latest appointment letter from the imperial court.

"If you lack a few souls, you won't become a fool." Bone Head leaned over.

"Go, go, what do you know? I must be the fastest promoted official in our Great Chu. It's less than three years, and I'm going to be the prefect. Let me be promoted." Ji Zihe laughed.

"No, my lord, because of the last flood, some people rebelled in this province, and the magistrate was dismissed. In addition, many officials died in the flood, and many were killed by the emperor. There were not enough officials in the court, so some of them were promoted exceptionally. Official." Yan Ruyu said.

Ji Zihe curled his mouth, "I'm just happy, so I can't help but dampen my interest."

"By the way, there is another good news. The Emperor Taiyin said that wherever you go to work, you will be the city god there. It means that you have been promoted again. Are you happy?" Bone smiled.

"No, he said before that after he becomes holy and ascends, I will be the next King of Pluto. I am promoted to my own official position, so what is there to be happy about?" Ji Zihe hesitated, "I think those ancient gods are starting to work hard. After practicing, you don’t have any ideas?”

"No."

"Really?"

"You are so stupid, if I leave, who will cover you." Bones said proudly.

Ji Zihe's soul was incomplete, part of it was fused by Huixin, and he followed Hedao directly.Unless you go to the ninth life of reincarnation, this life will be incomplete, and there will be no chance of becoming a saint.

Ji Zihe curled his lips, "I'm the City God, and the future Master Pluto, I need your cover!"

"Yes, yes, she is weak and pitiful, and needs the mercy of adults."

"Don't make trouble."

Ji Zihe coughed and sat upright, "Bone, thank you."

"what?"

"I said, I like you!"

Meng Zhang hooked the corner of his mouth, "Coincidentally, me too."
