Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1593 Linjiangxian 14

Jiang Xinxin could certainly help rescue Meng Changqin, but some things always had to be made clear in advance: "Ayue, I think Meng Changqin will at least be a part of the driving force behind the fate of you and Bai Jiusi. I hope you can consider his importance carefully, and especially don't act rashly."

Hua Ruyue calmed down after hearing this, and smiled awkwardly with a pale face, "Yuan Xin, I understand. Even if I don't care about my own safety, I can't drag Jiusi down with me."

Bai Jiusi was speechless and helpless. "Ayue, you and I are now husband and wife as witnessed by the Father God. Husband and wife are one, not just words. No matter what happens, we should face it together."

Jiang Xinxin wasn't used to eating dog food, so she immediately stood up and was about to leave. "I'm going to go check on Meng Changqin now. You guys just stay home and wait for my news. Remember, don't act rashly because of your emotions, or I'll be furious if all my hard work goes to waste."

Although Jiang Xinxin never looked angry, Bai Jiusi and Hua Ruyue were subconsciously a little afraid of her angry look. They nodded repeatedly and watched Jiang Xinxin hurried to Meng Changqin.

The drought in the three northwestern states is becoming more and more serious, but the drought dragon is not so easy to solve, especially as mortals continue to dig wells underground, the underground water is becoming less and less, and the imperial court has begun to fight against the grassland barbarians to defend the country, and has completely ignored the issue of disaster relief.

War costs money and food. The imperial court could not afford so much money and food to support several northwestern states in their fight against the barbarians, and also to provide relief for the drought in three northwestern states.

What's even more terrible is that there are people who disregard the safety of the court and the people, and have repeatedly reached out to the little relief money and food that the court has squeezed out with great difficulty. They even dare to embezzle military funds and food. This has put the entire northwest in danger, so Meng Changqin must kill Hanlong.

When Jiang Xinxin found Meng Changqin, he was climbing a dangerous mountain alone and almost fell off a high cliff by accident.

Jiang Xinxin reached out and grabbed Meng Changqin, who was falling. Before he could say anything, she asked, "What's going on with the drought dragon?"

Meng Changqin had no time to breathe a sigh of relief after escaping death. She quickly replied, "Local villagers ventured up the mountain to find food and encountered a drought dragon. There's a legend about drought dragons in this area, and the villagers never thought they'd see the true face of a drought dragon in their lifetime."

Jiang Xinxin always felt that things would definitely not be as simple as mortals said, so after taking Meng Changqin down the mountain, she turned around and went up the mountain to talk to Hanlong.

The trace of the drought dragon is not difficult to find. Jiang Xinxin has a green dragon mount, so she just needs to look for the place where the dragon energy is strongest in Wuju Mountain.

As we walked along, we found that Wuju Mountain was riddled with holes and the vegetation had long been destroyed. There was yellow soil everywhere, and any slight wind could carry the yellow soil away.

In this situation, Jiang Xinxin didn't need to think too much to know that the people of the three northwestern states had made excessive demands on Wuju Mountain and destroyed the habitat of the drought dragon, so he simply sent down the drought as a punishment.

After walking for more than two days, Jiang Xinxin finally found the drought dragon in a small green area deep in Wuju Mountain.

Jiang Xinxin immediately released a burst of spiritual power, startling Hanlong. Hanlong originally thought that the visitor was a mortal who had hired a demon catcher to exorcise demons, but the other party seemed to have a high level of cultivation. He immediately became a little angry and revealed his true form of a hundred feet, lingering in the clouds and rain. He shouted angrily: "How dare you, mortal, come and provoke me!"

Jiang Xinxin felt even more strongly that the mortals might have offended the drought dragon first, and quickly explained, "What a misunderstanding! I came to you to understand the situation, not to cause trouble!"

The drought dragon would not trust mortals easily. He snorted coldly and exhaled a breath of dragon's breath, blowing Jiang Xinxin's hair into a mess, and the aura of the Azure Dragon and the Fire Phoenix on her body could no longer be concealed.

The dragons of this world are relatively friendly towards their own kind. However, when the drought dragon sensed the presence of the Azure Dragon and the Fire Phoenix, his eyes immediately became dangerous and he shouted, "Mortal, what have you done to my fellow dragons?!"

Jiang Xinxin was speechless. If it were any other time, she would have started to consider falling out, but the situation today was special, so she could only try her best to explain: "These Azure Dragon and Fire Phoenix are mounts given to me by the Heavenly Dao. It's my soul that's injured, so they can't appear in their true form in this world. I'm very sorry for this, but this has nothing to do with what happened today."

"I came into the mountains today to find out the real reason for the drought in the three northwestern states."

"I'm quite discerning. This Wuju Mountain must have been a rare paradise in the past, but now it's riddled with holes and covered in yellow sand. It's clearly the result of excessive human exploitation. If you want to punish humans for this, I completely agree."

Hanlong found Jiang Xinxin's words quite pleasing to the ear, so he put away his ferocious posture and returned to the clouds and rain, but still refused to let go: "Sweet words and flattering appearance!"

"No matter what you say, I will bring ten years of drought to these three states!"

Jiang Xinxin couldn't help but groan inwardly when she heard this. If the drought really lasted for ten years, these three states would become a desert from then on!

Jiang Xinxin was quick-witted and quickly came up with a solution. She tried to persuade Hanlong, "But if the drought in these three states lasts for ten years, it will take at least a hundred years for the soil and water to recover. If something goes wrong in the meantime, it's not impossible for it to become a complete desert."

"After all, it was once a sacred place. Isn't it a shame to let it be completely abandoned like this?"

"Lord Hanlong, why don't I tell the people down there the truth about the drought? I'll ask them to make amends for their past mistakes and restore the soil and water bit by bit. That way, you won't have to move, and the people who made the mistake back then will also learn a lesson. They'll definitely remember it and won't dare to make the same mistake again!"

Hanlong sneered, "Ridiculous!"

"Mortals pursue profit. Even if you have some cultivation and opportunities, can you still restrain the desires of mortals?"

"When I went out to slay demons and monsters, it wasn't for myself, but to relieve the suffering of mortals. But you saw how mortals took advantage of my absence and turned Wuju Mountain into the state it is today!"

"You bastards, since you are unwilling to enjoy the benefits brought by the blessed land, and you cut off the spiritual veins here with your own hands, you should accept the punishment brought by the backlash!"

After saying that, Hanlong turned around and returned to his residence. No matter how Jiang Xinxin called out to him, he remained silent.

However, this trip was not without any gains. Jiang Xinxin hurried down the mountain to tell Meng Changqin the root cause of the severe drought in the three states. He was speechless for a long time.

Especially the group of people who had offended Wujushan the most had already made a fortune and moved away from here as soon as the drought began. Now those who are left are either those who used to do hard labor or those who have never even had to do hard labor. They are not completely innocent, but they are definitely the soft persimmons.
