Chapter 2505: The Rain of Funeral
"Something's wrong!"

“There’s something wrong with this rain!”

Zhang Xuezhou has no concept of day and night, and his physiological needs such as food are also very low.

He spent an uninterrupted time reading and thinking in Qilin Pavilion. Only the officials who took turns to take over the historical affairs office occasionally spoke, which made Zhang Xuezhou look sideways.

It has been raining all day.

For some superstitious people, this was God bidding farewell to the funeral of the Empress Dowager, and it was a great funeral rain.

But for some people in Qilin Pavilion, the rain shouldn't have lasted so long, nor should it have fallen at this time.

"Normal rainwater is sweet and has no odor, but this rainwater is mixed with a hint of earthy smell, just like the water from a river or sea!"

Sima Tan, who likes to work night shifts, was invited out during the day and also participated in the rainwater detection.

His face was solemn as he kept trying to determine the source of the rain.

"Could it be that the water god has drawn water from the Jing and Huai rivers to bring rain?"

"This level of rainfall can only be achieved by a water god who is good at controlling rain!"

"Is the water god of rain here to see off the Empress Dowager?"

"When did our Han Dynasty have any connection with the God of Rain and Water? Not to mention those evil monsters that control water, even the Dragon God that came later was under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Court and has nothing to do with us!"

Sima Tan’s judgment was not new. The rainwater he detected had been detected earlier by others. It was more of a verification.

The Grand Historian needs to be responsible for the astronomical phenomena during funeral ceremonies. The current situation has obviously exceeded the budget, which has caused many officials to discuss it back and forth, so as to avoid being punished if the weather does not meet the requirements during the funeral.

"The Jing River and the Huai River surround Chang'an City. In the past, the gods who controlled the rain around the capital were the strongest among the water gods. In the Qin Dynasty, Yinglong Huaxu controlled the surrounding waters. A hundred years after Huaxu's death, no one has taken over." Sima Tan said with a headache: "I don't know the name of the water god. How can I communicate with him and let him stop the continuous rain!"

"We can only flee far away and patrol the surroundings to find the place where the rain is!"

"The area covered by the rain is probably hundreds of miles. How can we find it?"

"Where did this powerful person come from who can cast spells covering such a long distance?"

"The rain has been going on for a very long time. Judging from the steady rain, it will probably continue for the next few days!"

When Sima Tan mentioned the headache problem, the historians also responded.

Not only can Sima Tan of Tianlu Qilin Pavilion perform the art of seeing and hearing from heaven and earth, but Sima Tan is also the highest level in this art.

Even Sima Tan was helpless, let alone the others.

Ordinary people think that when a spell is used, everything within the range of the spell can be known clearly at that moment, but the difference between the art of seeing with heaven and hearing with earth and the art of the Yang soul's parade is not much, both of which are what the eyes see.

This is a technique that can be used for safe and silent exploration, but it is not an omniscient and omnipotent technique, and it is also limited in range and distance.

After some discussion, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the ability of seeing and hearing from the sky that Sima Tan and others were good at was not as good as the parade of His Majesty's yang soul incarnation.

"I think this continuous rain is more like the water gods searching for something, rather than them deliberately casting a spell to divert water," Sima Tan said, "Could it be that they also covet the Nine Dragon Cauldron?"

"Master Li is at the Nine Dragon Cauldron. They should think carefully before they rob any of it!"

"To be able to defeat the Nine Spirits Saint so quickly, it is no exaggeration to say that Taoist Li is extremely powerful. He is far beyond the reach of the Water God!"

"If they really try to snatch the Nine Dragon Cauldron, they will hit a wall!" "There is no need to search for the Nine Dragon Cauldron for so many days. The Nine Dragon Cauldron cannot be snatched away even with this kind of rain!"

No one had a definite answer in their minds, and Sima Tan looked towards the Jing River and Wei River in the distance.

If the water from these two rivers was not diverted to directly impact Chang'an City, no water monster could carry away the Nine Dragon Cauldron.

The lingering rain was not in memory of the Empress Dowager, nor was it searching for the Nine Dragon Cauldron, but for another purpose.

He sat and watched the world, and began to search for the source of the rain with all his heart, hoping to solve the problem directly.

"Water God... Ao Li's water palace is right here. What is he searching for by causing rain? Ao Li is not a dragon that cannot afford to lose. Could it be that he suddenly wants to retrieve the Dragon Ball? How can he search for treasure by causing rain?"

Zhang Xuezhou put down the "Yin Yang Great Joy Sutra" in his hand.

The opinions of many officials were no secret to him, and Zhang Xuezhou could even guess the source of the rain.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't understand what Ao Li was looking for, but he and Ao Li were involved in a dragon ball.

Zhang Xuezhou had the Dragon Ball not long ago. Of course, he also had the Dragon Ball alone for a short time. After putting it in his mouth for ten days or so, when he took it out, it was already scrapped.

He did not intend to destroy the dragon ball by destroying it. After all, Zhang Xuezhou was still counting on the dragon ball to nourish the demon pill, or to use the dragon ball to push "The Art of the Clouds" to a higher level.

He himself didn't benefit from the Dragon Ball, so how could he possibly cause any harm?

However, this dragon ball had indeed been destroyed by him. Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but shrink his head for a moment, feeling a little uneasy. He felt that he could not use the yang soul body transformed from the demon pill at will in the future, so as not to cause trouble.

"I'd better memorize these contents carefully. When I return to reality in two days, I will study these contents with An Ran in more detail and try my best to find conditions for An Ran to enter the realm of supernatural powers. Then, I will deduce the contents that can be practiced normally in the realm of supernatural powers!"

The immortals from the Immortal Court did not appear in Anle Palace to snatch the Nine Dragon Cauldron. Instead, it was the Water God Dragon King who caused rain to erode Chang'an City. This situation was a little beyond Zhang Xuezhou's expectations.

But Zhang Xuezhou did not pay too much attention to the incessant rain.

He spent several days in Qilin Pavilion, and seeing that it was raining outside, he probably wouldn't be able to make it in time for the burial of the Empress Dowager.

If there were no external disturbances, Zhang Xuezhou would go home directly and then wait to travel back to the real world, convert the large amount of Yin-Yang School content in his mind into real text, and then study and discuss related issues with Ren Anran and others.

Without Huang Daoxian's oppression, Zhang Xuezhou would spend most of his time on research, or waiting for Ren Yisheng and others to enter the seventh sequence, thereby promoting plans to go deep into Qin Meng to search for spiritual jade and ferocious beasts.

As for Zhang Xuezhou, he is taking one step at a time against the extraterritorial demon. After all, he can't do anything to the other party. He can only isolate the dangerous object from himself. Even if the extraterritorial demon controls his body, the other party will not be able to get it.

"There are water creatures fighting in the area between the Jing and Wei rivers. The rain is pouring down, and the water monsters are fighting in a mess. The corpses of monsters are floating in the flood. The officers who are patrolling the water situation should have been swept into the flood. You should go to Weiyang Palace, Changxin Palace, and Anle Palace to report quickly!"

It was not until Sima Tan loudly announced the reason that Zhang Xuezhou came back to his senses from reading.

Rain has nothing to do with Dragon Ball. Due to the funeral of the Empress Dowager, the court in Chang'an City was in a semi-paralyzed state, and was more focused on defending, which also led to a slow response to many things.

At least in terms of dealing with abnormal rainfall, the court was extremely negligent at its duty, and this was a result only obtained through inquiries by the Grand Historian Sima Tan.

"The endless fighting among the aquatic tribes has caused rain. If this continues, it is likely to cause flooding in Chang'an City. The areas near the East Market and the West Market are low-lying and may be flooded, and even affect the inner city!"

Zhang Xuezhou has always been a person who doesn't care about anything that doesn't concern him. If the sky falls, there are taller people in front to support it. He will only do it himself when there is no one to support it.

He never thought that this rain would affect the area where he lived.

If the rain cannot be stopped, the houses in their area are likely to be flooded, and may even have been hit right now.
