If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 982: Rain Master and Kyushu Landscapes
Xiao Yu was still instructing Fat Moler in practicing the Five Elements Escape Technique when Meng Qi came to Qianhe Temple with a happy face.

"Fairy Yu, the prophecy case has been concluded. Although the prophecy of 'the death of the first emperor, the fall of the Qin Dynasty' has been spread, not many people believe it now.

You did a great job this time and responded promptly.

Now that the prophecy case is over, why don't you release Princess Hualing's housekeeper?"

"Is it Zhao Wu?" Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, then he shook his sleeves casually, and a middle-aged man in a brocade robe rolled to the ground.

"This guy is so unimportant that I have always forgotten about him."

Meng Qi was a little speechless and a little skeptical, "Prime Minister Li didn't get any advantage from you, and you didn't do anything to let Prime Minister Li down.

The misunderstanding between you can be resolved by explaining it clearly."

Before Xiao Yu could speak, Zhao Wu on the ground came to his senses and heard Meng Qi's words, but he only heard half of them. He thought that Prime Minister Li had started to make trouble for Yu Fengxian for him, and he couldn't help but shouted excitedly: "Yu Fengxian, you have detained me for several days for no reason. This matter must be reported to the Prime Minister."

Meng Qi shouted, "What a rude and ignorant fool! Who do you think you are? You are just a lowly servant. How dare you speak to an important official of the court like this?"

"I" Zhao Wu wanted to yell again, but he recognized Meng Qi, so he could only blush and argue: "Master Meng is wise, it's not that I'm rude, it's Master Yu who used his great magical powers to capture me without any reason.

Although I am of humble status, I have come here on the orders of the princess to gather information.

What's wrong with this? Why do you want to arrest me?"

Meng Qi said with a straight face: "You yelled at Master Yu Tian, ​​which was extremely rude, you deserve to be beaten to death.

I only detained you for a few days and gave you light punishments and severe warnings, which all showed Master Yu Tian's generosity and mercy.

If it were me, you would have already crossed the Naihe Bridge by now."

Zhao Wu felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to argue anymore.

"Get out!" Meng Qi waved his sleeves, and Zhao Wu, like Lao Ai back then, flew dozens of miles away and landed on a barren mountain outside the city.

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up and he praised, "Senior, you are really powerful!"

Meng Qi waved his hand nonchalantly, “It’s just a little trick, it can’t compare to the fairy’s great magical power.

Fairy Yu, I want to tell you a piece of great news."

When talking about the good news, he immediately showed excitement.

Xiao Yu said with a dull face, "Could it be that the National Commander recommended me?"

"Hey, you already know? That's right, Wei Liaozi recognizes your talent and finally recognizes my judgment.

He began to do the same as I did, persuading all civil and military officials, as well as the Ying clan, to let you become the Grand Tutor of the Qin Dynasty.

He is wiser and more courageous than me. He is not an ordinary Grand Tutor, but the 'ancient Grand Tutor' of the previous dynasty.

The power is so high that it is almost comparable to that of the emperor." Meng Qi smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed.

Xiao Yu sighed, "You guys are so busy that you don't consider the opinions of me, the client. In the end, I don't agree. Isn't it all in vain?"

Meng Qi said: “I fully understand the fairy’s concerns, but you really don’t need to have any concerns.

I never asked you to change your fate, right?
You just need to sit firmly in Xianyang and do your best as the Heavenly Master.

At the same time, he used the power of the Grand Tutor to shift the resources of the Qin Dynasty to Xiniu Hezhou.

What to do specifically is up to you to decide based on the situation at the time.

Even if the great calamity in Shenzhou is fierce, what does it have to do with Master Yu in the West? "

"But I have already promised that there is no need for me to be the Grand Master. Based on my duties as the Heavenly Master, I will also ensure that the Ying family migrates west." Xiao Yu said.

"As the saying goes, if your name is not right, your words will not flow. You are just a heavenly master, and you can't do many things.

For example, now, Wei Liaozi is helping you to get connections, but Prime Minister Li has spread the word that he wants to find a moral immortal to replace me and become the new Grand Tutor of the Qin Dynasty.

It's obvious that he hates you because of the matter of protecting the fairy child.

Prime Minister Feng and his son remained silent on this matter, and many ministers were also watching. "

Meng Qi's expression became serious, "If you keep resisting becoming the Grand Master, you will give the opportunity to others.

Not to mention preparing for the Ying family's westward migration, if you want to be an ordinary Heavenly Master and study the relics left by Emperor Ying Zheng with peace of mind, you have to get permission from the new Grand Master.

Do you think that the Grand Tutor chosen by Li Si will help you achieve what you want?
By then, no matter what you do, you will be constrained everywhere.

You're willing to leave Xianyang in disgrace, get into trouble, and gain nothing?"

Xiao Yu had a conflicted expression and said, "Senior, can't you accompany Da Qin all the way to the end? You can be the Grand Master, and I'll be the Heavenly Master, even if you don't work."

——If I wasn’t running away, why would I rush to invite you to Xianyang?

Meng Qi glanced at her, his face full of helplessness, and sighed: "I have confessed to you before that after leaving Daqin, I will wander around Shenzhou and wait for the rise of the true dragon.

During my tenure as Grand Tutor of the Qin Empire, I attempted several times to change my fate.

Unfortunately, my luck is not as good as yours and I fail every time.

Even though you fail, the cause and effect and karma will not be reduced at all.

Next, I must assist the True Dragon, obey the will of Heaven, and eliminate the karma on my body."

Xiao Yu was silent for a moment, and then said softly, "Let's not talk about this for now. Senior, please help me get familiar with the affairs of the Emperor's Palace and find a position for me."

"Yes, that's exactly what I meant." Meng Qi agreed happily.

After a while, they were still at the Imperial Observatory in the corner of the imperial city.

Meng Qi led Xiao Yu to the Emperor's Palace.

"Inside the Emperor's Palace, there are the Department of Weather, the Department of Astrology, and the Department of Spiritual Sky."

He pointed to the large map hanging on the wall and said, "The main job of the Weather Bureau is to monitor this Kyushu landscape map.

The mountains and rivers of China are basically all here.

The last time Master Guan was able to give an early warning of a yellow-level earthquake near the Jing River, he relied on the Heavenly Master Method to communicate with the Jiuzhou Mountain Map and deduce the direction of the earth vein's power release. "

The map on the wall is very large, one-third larger than the IMAX movie screen in Xiaoyu's previous life.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is just a big piece of paper.

He used colored pencils to scribble on the paper, drawing a strange picture.

Well, ordinary people can’t tell that this is the Kyushu Mountains and Rivers Map.

The lines above are the flow directions of the earth veins and water veins, and they can move, just like a TV screen.

It is not the mountain road that ordinary people see.

Xiaoyu has never professionally practiced the Tianshi technique and doesn't know how to communicate with it.

Just by instinct, she saw the whole picture come alive.

Every line, every area of ​​color, is in motion.

It is a bit like the weather map in the weather forecast in the previous life, but it is not a pseudo-3D flat animation.

Instead, it uses two-dimensional pictures to show four-dimensional or even higher-dimensional space-time.

Meng Qi didn't say anything either, and let her stand there and stare at the Kyushu landscape painting.

After a long while, when she lowered her head and rubbed her eyes tiredly, he asked, "Fairy Yu, can you see clearly?"

Xiao Yu shook her head and sighed, "I can't see clearly. I really don't have the talent of a Heavenly Master." Meng Qi was not disappointed at all. Instead, he smiled and comforted her, "Fairy, do you know that in ancient and medieval times, the position of 'Heavenly Master' did not exist.

The imperial court established the position of "Tianshi" after Zhang Daoling created "Tianshi Dao" as a way of cultivating immortals.

First there was Zhang Daoling, the ancestor of Heavenly Master, and then there was the Heavenly Master who was canonized by the Heavenly Court.

Later, the human court followed suit.

But the fact that the position of 'Heavenly Master' has never been established does not mean that the court does not need a 'Heavenly Master'.

In the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, there was no "Heavenly Master" but there was a "Rain Master".

If the fairy is familiar with "Zhou Li", she will know that "Rain Master" is the Grand Master of the Clan.

The main responsibilities are to observe astronomical phenomena and predict rainfall and changes in the earth's veins.

Pray for rain when necessary, or stop the rain to avoid flooding.

The Grand Master of the Imperial Clan also concurrently serves as the "Zong Zheng", one of the Nine Ministers today, and is responsible for the court etiquette.

Hearing this, does Fairy Yu feel familiar?

That’s right, the Rain Master is basically equivalent to today’s Grand Master.

Fairy, think about this, why did the ancients call the Grand Master the 'Rain Master', and why did they emphasize the word 'rain'? "

Xiao Yu said: "Mulberry farming is the foundation of the country. And rainfall determines the harvest of the year.

Whoever controls the rain controls the fate of a country."

Meng Qi nodded slightly and said, "So, the essence of the Heavenly Master Way lies in the word 'rain'.

Today's humanity, Shintoism, and immortality are more mature and complete than those in ancient times.

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory divided the powers of the Heavenly Master into three departments and nine offices.

Even the Nine Departments can be further subdivided, and the subdivided government offices still need multiple heavenly masters to ensure that work proceeds normally.

But in the final analysis, the core of the Imperial Observatory is still the Emperor's Palace, the Department of Weather and Rain, and the picture in front of you.

It is said that in the last years of a dynasty, natural and man-made disasters occurred frequently due to the interaction between heaven and man.

I wonder if the fairy has noticed that the Qin Dynasty is about to perish, but the land of China still has good weather and harvests every year. Maybe it is not as good as when the Emperor was in power, but it is far from a disaster.

I have personally experienced many dynasties. For example, at the end of King Zhou's reign, various natural disasters occurred frequently.

What the people of Daqin lack now is not a good harvest, but a long-term environment for recuperation and rest. "

Meng Qi sighed helplessly, "Too many able-bodied men have been drafted away. Even if the weather is good, there will be no one to cultivate the farmland, and crops will not grow out of thin air!"

Xiaoyu traveled around China and saw with his own eyes that the people of the Qin Dynasty were indeed suffering, but their suffering was not caused by natural disasters, but mainly by man-made calamities.

If Emperor Chongzhen of the late Ming Dynasty had seen the last years of the Qin Dynasty, he would surely have been so envious that his eyes would turn red and his heart would be unbalanced.

After sighing, Meng Qi continued with a smile: "The master's ability mainly comes down to two words: 'controlling rain'.

No matter how talented Fairy Yu is, it is impossible for her to master the ability to control rain naturally.

Without the ability to control rain, it is naturally impossible to see this landscape painting of the Nine Provinces clearly."

Xiao Yu asked, "I once heard He Bo say that Emperor Ren Zheng forced him to hand over the 'True Shape Map of the Yellow River System'.

Is the true image hanging on the wall now?"

Meng Qi shook his head and said, “The true form map is locked in the underground secret vault, suppressed by dragon energy and magic array.

The current Kyushu landscape map is just a complete Kyushu map copied by the Heavenly Masters based on the true shape map of the water system and the true shape map of the Five Sacred Mountains.

During the reign of the Human Emperor, he issued an edict to the thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed lands, asking all the major Taoist palaces to contribute manpower.

A total of three thousand immortals were recruited.

Among them, more than fifty Golden Immortals and eight hundred Celestial Immortals jointly "surveyed" the mountains and rivers of Kyushu and drew this map.

Although it was copied by many immortals together, it is still somewhat inferior to the original true image.

The true form diagram is an innate spiritual treasure, and this diagram is only an acquired treasure.

Sometimes, when the Heavenly Master couldn't understand the map, he would go to the 'Treasure Map Room' to look for the true map.

The true shape image is clearer, with richer and more specific details.”

"There are fifty Golden Immortals and eight hundred Heavenly Immortals. There are so many immortals in Shenzhou!" Xiao Yu murmured.

"The Taoist still thinks it's not enough! In the past, the demon clan ruled the heaven, and there were tens of thousands of golden immortal-level demon gods." Meng Qi said.

Xiao Yu asked again: "Before the Emperor drew this picture of the nine provinces, how did the Heavenly Master or Rain Master control the rainfall in the mountains and rivers of Shenzhou?"

Meng Qi said: "Of course, with the help of the 'Tianshi Dao Fa'! The Tianshi Dao mainly practices rain control and star observation. A qualified Tianshi can also harmonize his soul with the natural way of heaven and earth without the help of the Jiuzhou Landscape Map.

For example, a Heavenly Master who has mastered the magic of thunder, practicing it, will have his soul fly up to heaven, and he will be able to become one with the natural thunder.

Thunder and rain are inseparable. Once you have mastered the Five Thunder Techniques, controlling the rain will be easy.

This picture is a tool, a magical artifact, which can greatly enhance the efficiency of the Heavenly Master's communication with Heaven and Earth.

It’s not that the Taoist priest is useless without tools.

The universe is infinitely vast, and in the past it took a long time for the Heavenly Master to sense the changes in rain.

We need to sense the water vapor in most of the sky of China in order to predict the rainfall conditions in various places.

The forecast results are still very inaccurate.

With this Kyushu landscape painting, the infinite world is condensed into a picture, directly placed in front of you, so you can see the whole picture at a glance.

Moreover, only mountains and water veins are left in the picture, eliminating other interfering factors.

To communicate with it is equivalent to to communicate with the natural world, but without all kinds of interference.

In the past, predicting the time of rainfall and earthquakes might require fasting for several days and meditating on the heaven and earth for half a month.

Nowadays, talented celestial masters can predict the precipitation in different places tomorrow on the same day.

The threshold is still very low.

In the Middle Ages, there was no qualified "rain master" in the entire Shenzhou.

Can you imagine?
In the past, only great immortals of Chisongzi and Guangchengzi’s level were qualified to serve as rain masters.

Now everyone is saying that the 'Heavenly Immortal Way' is the only right way and the most honorable.

In ancient times, Tianshi Dao was not yet popular and mature.

The human emperor would kneel before Si Yu's 'Heavenly Master', but would look down upon the Golden Immortal who practices inner alchemy.

Times have changed!

As Shinto and Xiandao became more and more prosperous, the honorable post of "Rain Master" was abolished and replaced by Heavenly Masters who could be born in large numbers.

The modern Heavenly Master does a better job than the ancient Rain Master.

If Master You Yu lived from ancient times to the present, he would definitely find it difficult to accept such a huge gap in status.

Of course, the immortals who could serve as rain masters in ancient times were not ordinary people. If they are still alive today, they must be at least Xuanxian. "
