Chen Nuo's expression was neither happy nor sad. He looked solemn like an accomplished monk. He spoke to the River God without any hesitation. He was not moved by the other party's humble attitude at all. His tone was even harsher than before.
"You little god, how dare you be so arrogant? How dare you act like this! Could it be that he had enough of being an Earth God and wanted to turn into ashes?”
"Divine monk, please calm down.”
"Oh? Then why did it rain so heavily!"
" Reporting to the divine monk, the second rain is caused by the operation of heaven and earth. The rain falls on the earth and then rises, repeating itself. This is the common sense of the operation of heaven and earth, and it has nothing to do with us gods. In a few days, the rain will stop.”
As soon as he said this, everyone fell into deep thought. A look of surprise flashed across the eyes of the divine man.
As long as it wasn't a punishment from a god, it was fine. Since it was a cycle of heaven and earth, no one could do anything about it. Moreover, the River God Grandpa said that it would be fine in a few days. It didn't matter. He just had to grit his teeth and endure for a few more days.
What they were most afraid of was that their own problems would cause the gods to be angry, and then they would have no way to survive. However, it was different now. Although the rain was still coming, and it would definitely be difficult this year, this was a matter of heaven and earth. No one could do anything about it. They could only silently endure it.
It was ridiculous to say that they themselves did not know that the true essence of worshipping the River God was just to seek peace of mind.
Chen Nuo silently observed the reaction of the divine man and the others. After pretending to be silent for a moment, he raised his hand and randomly made a few hand gestures that he did not know what to do. His tone improved a little.
"Yes, this Penniless Monk has wronged you.”
"Divine Monk, you're too kind. When I see the suffering of the people, my heart is also in pain. However, the operation of heaven and earth is powerless. All I can do is dredge the water channel and protect the people.”
Only then did Chen Nuo smile." Amitabha. Good, good. You're so thoughtful. In that case, you can leave."”
"Yes, Little God will take his leave!"
After saying that, he turned into rolling red smoke and dived into the water.
However, this wasn't the end. Sand and mud continued to pile up on both sides of the river. Although it was slow, it had an extraordinary meaning to everyone.
They hurriedly kowtowed to Chen Nuo, their tone sincere.
"Divine Monk, please be merciful!"
Chen Nuo waved his hand and said calmly.
"Stand up and talk."
The figure wasn't very big, but it was extremely clear in everyone's ears. It was as if a Buddha had issued an edict. Everyone didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly stood up to bow.
"Benefactor, please stay behind. The rest of you can quickly disperse.”
He glanced at the two unconscious children on the ground. The divine man immediately came to his senses and quickly asked someone to bring the children back.
He then took off his mask and said respectfully to Chen Nuo.
"I am Chen Qili. Greetings, Divine Monk. Please give me a Dharma name so that we can worship you every day…"
Chen Nuo waved her hand and interrupted the meaningless pleasantries.
" This poor monk's Dharma name is Wende," he went straight to the point." If the rain continues like this, what will happen?"”
The divine man did not dare to delay and hurriedly returned.
"With this rain, we can still hold on for three to five days. After that, the river will flood and the farmland will be destroyed. I'm afraid we can only escape to Guo Beicheng to take refuge.”
As he spoke, his expression was filled with fear. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
Chen Nuo nodded and asked.
"What if the Dali River doesn't flood?"
The Divine Man's eyes flashed with surprise. He understood what these words meant and suppressed his excitement.
"Then we can still hold on for a while. No matter how hard it rains, it won't be this heavy forever, let alone for so long.”
He had lived for dozens of years and had gone through a few calamities and tribulations. He said this completely based on experience.
Chen Nuo heaved a sigh of relief and said calmly.
"This Penniless Monk will discuss the flood-control matters with the local River God and try to ensure that the river will not flood. However, you have to save yourself and prepare for disaster relief as soon as possible.”
"Thank you for your mercy, Divine Monk!"
The divine man knelt on the ground with a thud, tears of joy streaming down his face.
"Remember, it's better to ask for help than to ask for help from others. Don't do that stupid thing of sacrificing living people again!”
"Yes, yes, yes, I will remember!"
After sending the divine man back, Chen Nuo stood by the river and sighed as he looked at the sand that was piling up on both sides.
This was the best solution he could think of.
It could make these people give up on the idea of worshipping the living, and it could also calm the hearts of the people. It could be considered to have been handled properly.
However, this flood was the real problem.
Even if the commoners tried their best to save themselves after returning, it would still be a drop in the bucket. With the current social structure and productivity, the effect would be very small.
At the end of the day, this era really depended on the weather.
"Come on up."
Chen Nuo whispered.
Red smoke drifted as the mandrill emerged from the water and stood in front of him, panting.
It was originally a small mandrill with divine powers. It was simply a fool's dream to raise the embankment. It was afraid that it would only be able to raise a few miles even if it died of exhaustion.
"Go and find out where there are demons and ghosts nearby. The more the better. After you find them, come back quickly.”
The mandrill nodded and left.
Chen Nuo lowered her head to look at the Painted Skin Kasaya and said meaningfully.
"I'm afraid it's up to you this time…"
(The sixth watch is over. Are there any free flowers and tickets to encourage me to fail…)
