now
It is the early summer of the 38th year of Zhaoyang Kingdom
The entire Zhaoyang Kingdom, especially the Great Desolation Region, has been suffering from drought for three years.

Within three years, countless rivers stopped flowing, and the entire deserted area, 320 cities, and thousands of villages were about to be destroyed due to lack of water and food.The people were displaced and starved for thousands of miles. It can be said that the people are in dire straits.

When there is a severe drought, there must be evildoers.

First, in the spring of 36, when the Great Desolation fell to the northwest, an evil creature from outside the sky descended, shaped like an eyeball, causing dozens of cities to collapse.

Later, there were swarms of rats, stealing people's food, and even eating people, making the big cities and towns miserable.

For the whole year of 37 years, the drought intensified, and countless crops died one after another.Locusts were even more rampant, and for a whole year, almost no crops were harvested in the Great Desolation Area.

It's the early summer of '38.

Seeing that the spring has just passed and the scorching summer is approaching, but there is still no sign of rain in the Dahuangluo area. The entire Zhaoyang Kingdom, from the court to the people at dawn, is in a hurry.

Not far from Yanglong Temple, a hundred miles away is Chiyang City, the largest city in the Great Desolation of Zhaoyang Kingdom.

at this time
Chiyang City

Northwest of the city, in the Dragon King Temple
The Lord of Chiyang City is leading many officials, as well as the people in Chiyang City, to hold a prayer ceremony for rain.Inside and outside, there are no less than ten thousand people.

Praying for rain to the Dragon King has been a traditional ceremony in Zhaoyang since ancient times.Especially the desolate people of Zhaoyang Kingdom have believed in the existence of real dragons in the heaven and earth since ancient times.

Especially in Chiyang City.

It is backed by the mysterious Yanglong Temple, and people often see big snakes in the wilderness, which attracts the people here to believe in the Dragon King since childhood.

Although so far, no one has seen a real dragon appearing in Yanglong Temple, and Yanglong Temple has also come forward to refute the rumors, claiming that there are only spirit snakes in the temple and no real dragons, but no one wants to believe it.

Even the imperial court is in a state of half-belief.After all, whether there are real dragons haunting Yanglong Temple has been controversial since ancient times.

Now that the severe drought has been going on for three years, and there may be signs of a long drought this year, even the court can't sit still.

For seven days in a row, Fang Wenshan, the city lord, and many people in Chiyang City, worshiped the Dragon King Temple every day, and kept eating melons, fruits and vegetables, three animals and five animals.

Just to pray to the Dragon Lord for a rain.

"Is it really useful, my lord? Is there a Dragon Lord in your Dragon King Temple?"

Seeing Fang Wenshan genuinely knocked his head on the ground a few more times, the head of the Li family in Chiyang City sighed and asked.

The Miao Zhu on the side shook his head, and said calmly: "Whether there are real dragons in the Dragon King Temple, doesn't the court know better than my little Miao Zhu?"

After saying this, Miao Zhu seemed to feel that the tone was a bit too heavy, sighed, and added: "If the real dragon exists, the real dragon will not watch the people suffer from the heat and poison."

It's no wonder that his tone is so, Fang Wenshan has no good intentions in mobilizing people to worship the Dragon King Temple.

This is to roast the entire Dragon King Temple on the fire.

After all, it has already been put on for the people of Liming to watch.If the drought is still there at that time, it will be blamed on Lord Long, which has nothing to do with Fang Wenshan.

After all, I have worshiped like this, but the Dragon King is greedy, still not satisfied, and does not give rain, what can I do?
And for Fang Wenshan, regardless of whether it rains or not, he will make a profit.If it doesn't rain, he can take the opportunity to cut through the people's belief in the Dragon Lord and strengthen the rule of the court.

It would be even better if it rained, and he could take the credit for himself with peace of mind, saying that it was his seven-day worship that moved the Dragon King and his old man.

Simply serve multiple purposes.

However, there was a woman dressed as an aunt who seemed to have guessed what everyone was thinking, but shook her head, looked at the sky outside, and then said: "You are all wrong, you really think that Master Fang's mobilization of worship is to get rid of the drought guilt?"

Miao Zhu frowned, and asked puzzledly: "I don't know what the Taoist Priest Chuchen thinks?"

He knew the Taoist nun in front of him, her surname was Li, her name was Chenshuang, and her Taoist name was Chuchen.

It is said that he is the head teacher of a certain line of Taoism. After Fang Wenshan served as the governor of Chiyang City, he defected to Fang Wenshan and guarded him for three to five years.

It can be said that Fang Wenshan is the closest person.

When Chuchen heard the words, he didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Have you heard of the strange sights in Yanglong Temple recently?"

People around nodded.

Yanglong Temple has been raining one after another recently, with a total of 108 games, large and small.The key is that other places are dry, but only this small area is raining.

This matter is so strange that it has aroused the interest of everyone in Zhaoyang Kingdom.

"It is said that Yanglong Temple is now surrounded by believers day and night, constantly praying to the real dragon Pu of Yanglong Temple for spiritual rain, don't just take care of the area of ​​​​Yanglong Temple."

"A few days ago, I went there to watch the spectacle of the spiritual rain. The spiritual rain is really miraculous. Not to mention exorcising evil spirits and praying for blessings, it actually made my tired spirit recover a little bit."

"It's a pity that I didn't ask to see the abbot of Yanglong Temple. After all, the place of practice is almost closed to outsiders."

The head of the Li family said.

Miao Zhu frowned, looked at the Taoist nun, then at Fang Wenshan who was still worshiping, and then said: "Spiritual rain wonders... Could it be that Mr. Fang really thinks that there is a real dragon in Yanglong Temple No?"

"The seven-day worship is not to embarrass my Dragon King Temple, but to test Yanglong Temple?"

"Exploring?" Chu Chen was noncommittal, shook his head and said, "Regardless of whether there are real dragons in Yanglong Temple, it is true that it is indeed raining in Yanglong Temple."

"For this reason, Mr. Fang has visited Yanglong Temple eighteen times, hoping that the eminent monks in Yanglong Temple can save all living beings and spread spiritual rain."

This……

Everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, they never thought that Fang Wenshan had done so much in secret.

He even firmly believed that the strange rain was made by Yanglong Temple.

"Then what's the result?" Dragon King Miaomiaozhu couldn't help asking.

Even knowing that the result is likely to be unsatisfactory, I still want to ask.

Chuchen raised his head again, looked in the direction of Yanglong Temple, remained silent for a moment, and said with deep meaning: "The result is that Mr. Fang has brought the whole city people to worship the Dragon King for seven consecutive days, and even stated that the Dragon King is the head of Yanglong Temple. True dragon."

"We have already given what should be given, and we have done what should be done. What happens next... depends on the performance of those compassionate monks in Yanglong Temple."

"perhaps……"

Chuchen's tone suddenly paused, and his face suddenly changed. A pair of sharp eyes stared at the direction of Yanglong Temple.

At this moment, Fang Wenshan also stood up and looked at the direction of the Yanglong Temple with all the worship officials.

Next, there are temple wishes, attendants, and the people of Liming in the whole city.

"Perhaps... Yanglong Temple is really raising dragons!"

Fang Wenshan walked up to the crowd, took what Chuchen hadn't finished speaking, and finally let out a sound that he didn't know whether it was a sigh, or gratitude, or fear.

Looking at the distant sky, coming from the direction of Yanglong Temple, there is a large dark cloud covering the sky and covering the sun.

this moment

the wind blows
thunder followed
The wind and thunder converge, the water vapor condenses, and a heavy rain is about to come.

Zhaoyang 38 early summer
Chiyang City prays for rain,
The rain falls, and the real dragon is suspected to be haunted.
