Chapter 1896

"Which one?"

Xia Leng asked simply and clearly.

A clear voice sounded from outside the door, and said with a smile: "Kong Qingsong, the proprietor of Xiayuxianju, wants to discuss something with Mr. Leng, isn't it convenient?"

"Come in." Xia Leng felt a strange feeling in his heart, but he didn't think too much about it.

I saw a young man wearing a scholar's gown and a Confucian scarf walked in slowly, and bowed to Xia Leng and the others: "Your presumptuous visit, please forgive me, Mr. Leng."

"It's okay, Master Kong, come in."

Xia Leng also bowed back, then waved his hand to signal him to come in.

Kong Qingsong walked into the living room with a smile, slowly took down the teacup from the tea tray Feng Tianling handed over, took a sip and put it aside.

"Is there anything you want from me?" Xia Leng looked at this Kong Dongzhu, wondering about his intentions. "It's fine at first, but there have been rumors in the county in the past few days. For the sake of the customers in the inn, Kong felt that it is necessary to inform the distinguished guests in advance." Kong Qingsong was dressed like a Confucian scholar, and he spoke slowly. , no matter the sound

Both voice and tone are very comfortable.

Xia Leng nodded and said directly: "Then Master Kong, tell me."

"The rain in Beiyun County has actually been falling intermittently for almost half a year, does Mr. Leng know?" Kong Qingsong asked softly like an old friend chatting.

Before Xia Leng could speak, Xiao Xiu'er whispered softly, "If we knew, we wouldn't come to Beiyun County."

"Haha, that's true." Kong Qingsong didn't care about Xiao Xiu'er's arrogance, but laughed heartily: "In fact, there has been a legend of a 'Rain Girl' in our county since ancient times. It is said that this year's heavy rain is also caused by this Caused by 'Rain Girl'."

"Yu Nu? I haven't heard of this one." Xia Leng is also somewhat interested in this kind of strange story, so he can't help asking: "Please listen to it, Master Kong." "The story is simple and clichéd. "Kong Qingsong glanced at Xia Leng unobtrusively, "The story is that about a thousand years ago, a goddess fell in love with a scholar in the mortal world, and then went down to the mortal world to marry him, let him study, and helped him go to school. Lan Jing rushes to take the exam.

In the end, the scholar was indeed nominated for the gold list, but he was also caught as a son-in-law under the prime minister's list, and has since stayed in Lanjing as an official..."

Xiao Xiu'er couldn't help spitting in a low voice: "Hmph, this scholar is really a heartless man!"

"Isn't the story over yet?" Xia Leng listened to the story, and felt that it was very clichéd and also dull, far from the "Liao Zhai" and other books on the earth. "The goddess must have traveled thousands of miles to Lanjing to find the scholar and brought the child with her." Xiao Xiu'er sniffled and added, "But the scholar has completely changed his mind. He is afraid that the goddess and the child will delay his future, so he sent assassinated

them. The goddess was full of resentment and indignation, not only turned into a ghost, but also cried tears and turned into rain. "

Xia Leng glanced at Xiao Xiu'er strangely, but didn't realize that this little girl had a bit of talent as a screenwriter. The little plot she added was somewhat similar to what happened to Qin Xianglian on Earth.

"Young Master Leng, this maidservant is really clever." Kong Qingsong glanced at Xiao Xiu'er approvingly, then shook his head and said, "However, the story behind is not so bad."

"Ah?" Xiao Xiu'er was stunned, "How else can the story develop if it's not like this?"

Kong Qingsong replied: "The goddess just made an oath. If the scholar does not return to Beiyun County for a day, then she will rain in his hometown for nine months every year."

"Why nine months?" Feng Tianling couldn't help asking at this moment.

"Because they have known each other for exactly nine months." Kong Qingsong said with a smile.

Xiao Xiu'er's eyes were blurred: "Has that scoundrel scholar come back?"

"This is a rain that has been falling for a thousand years, and it has not stopped." Kong Qingsong seemed to answer the question, but everyone understood that if the scholar came back, the rain would have stopped long ago.

"Woooooooo..." Little girls like Xiao Xiu'er and Feng Tianling are not immune to this kind of story, even if they only heard the outline of the story, they would still cry "Haha, of course, this is just a story that has been handed down " Kong Qingsong suddenly burst out laughing, feeling that the expressions of the two girls were very cute, "The rain is really weird, and no one can figure out the reason, so some people make it far-fetched.

After reading such stories, it is good for everyone to listen to them, and there is no need to take them seriously. "

Xiao Xiu'er and Feng Tianling couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, thinking that these words were simply spoiling the scenery, a bit ruining the beautiful love story.

Xia Liang felt something strange, this Kong Dongzhu was not so bored that he came here to tell him such a story, there must be something else.

Sure enough, after laughing and making a fuss, Kong Qingsong saw that Xia Leng still didn't intend to ask questions, secretly thought that this little boy was really calm, but he couldn't help it.

"Okay, I just said some irrelevant things, which delayed the young master's rest time." Kong Qingsong clapped his hands lightly, and stood up quickly, "I won't disturb the rest of you, so Kong will leave now. gone."

"Master Kong, go slowly." Xia Leng still didn't ask, and got up directly to see him off.

"You don't need to send them off." Kong Qingsong raised his hand at Xia Leng and the others, and just as he walked to the entrance, he turned his head and said unintentionally: "Oh, there is one more thing that Kong almost forgot."

Xia Leng knew that Xi Rou was coming, and this man babbled for almost half an hour, probably because of what he wanted to say now.

"This rain will last for a while, just for safety's sake, I hope you guys are safe and don't be impatient." Kong Qingsong's tone was still calm, "If there is any strange movement in the middle of the night, please..."

"Don't go out?" Xiao Xiu'er added.

"No." Kong Qingsong said with a slightly serious expression: "Don't stay in the room, even if it rains, remember to run outside."

After finishing speaking, Kong Qingsong took a step forward, and within a few steps, he reached the corner of the corridor, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"My lord, does this person have brain problems?" Xiao Xiu'er frowned and asked in a low voice.

Xia Leng shook his head: "He did come to remind us." "Then why can't I understand what he said?" Xiao Xiu'er tilted her head, "Generally, if you are afraid of something happening, don't you remind others to stay in the room and not Come out, he actually asked us to run outside, and said that it doesn't matter if we get wet in the rain, in case the wind blows

What should I do if it is cold? "

"Do you think I'll get a cold?" Xia Leng turned his head and glanced at Xiao Xiu'er.

Only then did Xiao Xiu'er remember that her young master is a cultivator with a special constitution, basically he will not get sick, so he couldn't help pouting.

It was near midnight when Ji Jiu came back from outside.

"Ninth Brother, have you eaten yet?" Xiao Xiuer asked.

Ji Jiu smiled at her: "I've used it outside, don't worry about it."

"Oh." Xiao Xiu'er nodded.

After a while, a group of four people gathered in the study. Xia Leng wanted to know some useful news about Ji Jiu's outfit, while Xiao Xiu'er and Feng Tianling just wanted to hear anecdotes.

"Have you gained anything?" Xia Leng asked casually.

Ji Jiu drank half a bowl of warm tea and wiped her mouth: "I did find out some things, but I don't know if it will be useful to you, my lord."

Xia Leng was not in a hurry: "Talk about it."

"About the rain in Beiyun County, there are three theories outside." Ji Jiu paused for a few seconds, apparently trying to figure out what to say: "The first one is that there was a goddess a long time ago..."

"Brother Jiu, we already know this." Xiao Xiu'er interrupted Ji Jiu, "Just talk about the other two."

Ji Jiu froze for a moment, Xia Leng explained: "Just now the landlord came and told a story about a goddess making rain."

"Okay, then I won't talk about this." Ji Jiu nodded. Everyone lost interest, and it was meaningless for him to tell it again. These days are really boring, so telling stories and listening to stories has become the only thing between them. A small relief.

"The second one is that there is a thousand-year-old fairy bell in Feilai Temple in the north of the city, and no one can strike it." Ji Jiu went on to talk, and stretched out her hand to compare the size of the bell. The rain bell, when someone rings it will rain."

"It's a bit wrong." After all, Feng Tianling is from Yunzhou, and she still has a little understanding of some things in Beiyun County. "I heard the legend of that bell when I was young. It's just a begging bell. If you can ring Ring will be able to give birth to Lin'er or something."

"In the dialect of Beiyun County, rain is the child." Ji Jiu explained with a smile: "How many mountains are there between the Shenfeng Valley and here, and the sounds of the mountains are not the same."

"What is the last type of rumor?" Xiao Xiuer asked.

Ji Jiu showed a meaningful smile: "The third one is a bit interesting. There is a monster living on the mountain outside the city. As long as it goes down the mountain, there will be rain."

Xiao Xiuer's small face was a little dazed: "What do you mean? Does it take nine months for a monster to eat?"

"This monster is not a mandrill wild monster. It is said to be a drop of fairy tears thousands of years ago. By chance, it became a monster." Ji Jiu continued: "Moreover, what it eats is not humans or other food, but gas."

"That's a ghost." Xiao Xiu'er was no longer surprised, she curled her lips and said, "It's all in ghost novels, ghosts suck yang energy or something."

Ji Jiu wanted to explain in more detail, but then shook his head. He felt that Xiao Xiu'er might not understand, so he nodded directly: "Well, you can understand it this way. As long as it touches the raindrops it sprays, the air in the body will be sucked away. "The words Dongzhu Kong said before are a bit strange." Xia Leng pinched his chin and thought. If the third legend is true, the suggestion of the Kong Dongzhu telling them to run into the rain when they have something to do is quite weird. But he felt that this Kong Dongzhu

There is no grudge against them, there is no reason to calculate them like this, and it is still in such a casual way.

Suddenly, Xia Leng's heart trembled, and his eyes wandered around the room.

Ji Jiu's expression also instantly became extremely dignified, and Xiao Xiu'er and Feng Tianling felt that something was wrong even after a slight delay.

Outside the candlelight, the shadows were dense, as if they were alive, shaking slightly with the light.

Xia Leng's face was tense, and after feeling it for a while, he suddenly uttered a word softly: "Run!"
