Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 703 Sudden Fall
The commander of the forbidden army walked up to the altar at this moment, first he clasped his fist and said: "Master Li, please don't let the lowly position make things difficult. Your Majesty orders, please leave the altar, Master Li, and don't obstruct the important event of praying for rain."

Li Xiuyuan still stared intently at the sky and said, "Wait a minute, I've already cast a spell, and I'll see if the heavy rain can fall."

"This, this, if this is the case, then His Majesty can't bear the lowly position." The commander of the imperial army said.

"As long as it rains heavily, the officials won't blame you. The officials think I'm here to make trouble, but they don't know that I'm here to ask for rain." Li Xiuyuan said.

"But His Majesty is watching from above the imperial city, how dare you procrastinate in a lowly position." The commander of the imperial army said.

Seeing that the heavy rain hadn't fallen at this moment, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help frowning. He took out a shining golden command arrow from his bosom and threw it out: "Thunder God in the sky, let's see why the heavy rain hasn't fallen here. If Help me if you can, and make this heavy rain fall."

"Boom~!"

Immediately, a thunderbolt sounded, and the thunder flashed, and it fell from the sky and struck the command arrow.

The Thunder God Token immediately disappeared in the thunder light, and instead, a golden light flew out and rushed into the clouds, where one could vaguely see a god wearing golden armor and holding a thunder drum.

But Thor's figure disappeared in a flash, and ordinary people only saw a flash of thunder.

The commander of the forbidden army at the side saw the thunder strike beside the altar, and the weapon in his hand almost fell from fear, and cold sweat broke out all over his body, almost thinking that he was about to die under the thunder.

"Let's go." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand.

He didn't force himself to stay on the altar, but walked straight down.

After Li Xiuyuan stepped down from the altar, the armored soldiers above realized that they were shocked and rushed down in a hurry.

"Lord Li is so talented, the Heavenly Venerable of the Ministry of Thunder gave him the Thunder God Token, even the god of thunder in the sky can be dispatched, what monsters and goblins in the world dare to fight against Master Li." Guo Zhenren gave a salute, feeling a little moved said enviously.

The method of controlling ghosts and gods is difficult for even immortals.

Li Xiuyuan said: "However, some monsters are so fierce that they dare to kill the thunder god in the sky. As a master of the Danding sect, Guo Zhenren should have heard of it. But I have seen a Taoist named Guo Huai before." , is also the Danding faction, he refines the elixir of immortality in Tianmu Mountain, I don’t know
Is it successful now? I don't know if Guo Zhen really knows him? "

"That's the senior brother of the poor man. I really didn't expect Master Li to have a relationship with the senior brother of the poor man." Guo Zhen said in surprise.

Tianmu Mountain?
This Saint Li has also been to Tianmu Mountain, so he seems to know a lot.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

However, while speaking, there were continuous thunderclaps in the dark clouds in the sky, one after another thunderbolts fell from the sky, some interweaved in the sky, some fell to a certain place in the capital, and some collided with each other to make a deafening thunderous sound.

"It's just that I don't know if Master Li's request for rain went well just now?" Guo Zhen couldn't help asking, attracted by the thunder.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It is true that there is something secretly preventing the heavy rain from falling, but to be able to do this, one must be born with the ability to move clouds and rain, and to control the four seasons. Master Guo Zhen knows a lot of things, but he doesn't know how to practice centipede essence Thousands of years, can you have such ability after attaining Taoism?"

He had nothing to hide and was outspoken.

Guo Zhen's face changed slightly, this Li Shengren is really daring to ask this question in front of the national teacher.

Isn't this afraid that the national teacher will turn his face?

"Hehe, I don't know much about this poor Taoist, but if I have time someday, the poor Taoist temple has a few Daoist collections in it, which can be read by Mr. Li." Guo Zhen said.

"Ok?"

Li Xiuyuan was about to speak, but suddenly he saw the national teacher with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, hands clasped, walking over with a smile on his face.

"Master Li, we meet again." The national teacher said.

"Yes, the national teacher is still in high spirits, with white hair and a childlike face, which is really enviable. Unlike me, who is tired of running around all day, and today the capital is on fire and has to come to the stage to pray for rain." Li Xiuyuan shook his head slightly.

The national teacher said: "Master Li, don't worry, I am the same as Master Li. Just now, the official ordered that the real person cannot pray for rain. Now I will replace the national teacher on the stage to pray for rain. If it fails at that time, I will inevitably be punished by the official."

"Oh, so the two are in the same boat." Li Xiuyuan said in surprise.

"Boom`!"

Suddenly, there was another sound of thunder, but suddenly dark clouds rolled over the sky, and the torrential rain poured down, covering the capital in an instant.

"But now it seems that the national teacher doesn't have to work hard. It's raining." Li Xiuyuan looked up at the sky, and the heavy rain had already fallen on him, drenching him.

"That's right, it's raining heavily, Master Li prayed for rain, even God will take care of him." The national teacher said with emotion: "It's good, it's good."

Then a layer of radiance appeared on his body, isolating the heavy rain that fell.

Li Xiuyuan looked at him seriously and said: "Does the national teacher know what is causing this heavy rain?"

"Isn't it God's will? The sky is going to send fire, even if you cast a spell to pray for rain, only someone like Mr. Li can go against the sky and ask for this life-saving rain for the people of the capital." The national teacher said .

"God's will? I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of God's will and the heavy rain has come, so I will leave now and come to disturb the national teacher again." Li Xiuyuan cupped his fists and gave a salute, then turned and left despite the heavy rain.

The national teacher squinted his eyes and smiled, watching Li Xiuyuan go.

Guo Zhen on the side looked dignified. He felt that there was some involvement and connection between this Li Shengren and the national teacher.

But how could a sage who governs ghosts and gods, kills demons, and acts on behalf of the heavens get involved with a demon who wreaks havoc on the government?

Although he was puzzled, Guo Zhen didn't dare to think about the things inside.

He only needs to beware of this national teacher.

No matter what this Li Shengren said, he might have trouble with himself as a cultivator.

"Okay, okay, the heavy rain has finally come down."

now.

On the city wall of the imperial city, the Zhao official family saw the heavy rain pouring down, and they couldn't help being overjoyed: "Who asked for the heavy rain just now? Is it the real Guo Zhen? Or the national teacher? I want to reward you."

The heavy rain fell, and the accompanying officials obviously saw that the fire in the south of the city began to dim immediately. If they stopped people from putting out the fire, the fire could be survived tonight.

"This heavy rain should be requested by the national teacher." An official said.

"Oh, is it the national teacher? Then pass on my will, reward the national teacher with a thousand pieces of gold, a golden Buddhist staff, and a hundred East Sea pearls." Zhao Guanjia said.

"Your Majesty, just now the national teacher didn't come to the stage, so why did you say that you asked for rain? From the official point of view, it should be Guo Zhenzhen who begged for rain, and the official should reward Guo Zhenzhen." Another official said.

"Nonsense, Mr. Guo Zhen has prayed for rain twice and has not seen heavy rain fall. He must not be responsible for praying for rain this time."

The civil servants on the side argued.

Some people think that the heavy rain was caused by the teacher of the state, while others think that it was caused by Guo Zhenqiu.

At this time, a prince climbed up the tower panting, and then saluted: "Father, the heavy rain was begged by the previous scholar."

"Third prince, don't talk nonsense, when will scholars beg for rain." A civil official said.

Zhao Jing rushed back to the palace when he saw the capital was on fire before, just in time to see the matter of begging for rain and seeing the civil servants fighting for merit, he couldn't help running up to speak.

But these civil servants obviously didn't believe it.

"The third prince is not wrong. My lords, the heavy rain was indeed begged by that lord Li. I didn't cast a spell to pray for rain. How could I covet the credit for the rain?" At this moment, a familiar voice sounded, but Seeing the national teacher walking up with a smile on his face.

"Is that so? Then who is that person begging for rain?" Zhao Guanjia asked.

Zhao Jing immediately said: "Father, it is Li Xiuyuan, governor of Yangzhou."

"Li Xiuyuan? This name seems familiar." Zhao Guanjia recalled.

An eunuch on the side reminded: "Your Majesty, it is Li Xiuyuan who put an end to the Nine Mountain King Rebellion."

"It's him."

Zhao Guanjia immediately remembered: "It turns out that Li Xiuyuan still has the ability to pray for rain. Praying for rain for the people this time is indeed worthy of praise."

When the civil servants heard that Li Xiuyuan was going to be rewarded, they were immediately unhappy.

Whether it is Guo Zhen or the national teacher, they are all practitioners, and those who are more powerful are just relying on the favor of the officials, but Li Xiu is far different. When he gets up, there will be another Li family in the Jiangnan area.
