Dao Pi Jiu Xiao

Chapter 464 Pray for Rain
The white fox strolled in the capital to feel the temperature of the capital.

With the intensification of the drought, the temperature in Beijing has risen in a straight line.

Looking at the cloud of flames that enveloped the capital and could not be seen by ordinary people, Tu Shan murmured, "Is it Chen Niangniang who made the move? That guy Ji Feichen alarmed your mistress?"

As soon as the drought came out, the land was red for thousands of miles.Chen Niangniang caused the capital to suffer a drought just by showing a little trick.Moreover, the eldest princess modified the waterways of the capital, causing the water level of all the wells in the capital to drop, and the sky above the capital could not rain.

With the cooperation of Dragon God and Drought God, not a drop of rain fell in the capital for half a month.There was no rain during the rainy season, and people in the city were panicked.Some people rumored that "the emperor was guilty of the sky", some people said that it was "the wrath of the sky caused by the deposed prince", and some people said that "the evil spirits came out, indicating that the country will perish".

In short, all kinds of rumors caused disturbances in the capital, coupled with the rising temperature and aggravated drought, all kinds of conflicts broke out under the impetuousness of people's hearts.

Tu Shan was wandering around the city, and he had already seen idlers fighting in several places, and then one by one, the officials came over to persuade them to fight.

The white fox shook his head, sneaked into a scholar's house, and hid in the scroll he was carrying.

This painting depicts a scene of a pavilion in the middle of a lake.In the center of the clear and clear lake stands an exquisite and delicate pavilion in the middle of the lake, and a woman sits in the pavilion.

After being captured by Tu Shan, the county lord of Mingchi wanted to break through this picture scroll several times.However, except for the pavilion in the middle of the lake where she was, the surface of the nearby lake was a strange nothingness, with a vast white mist rising on the water surface, making it impossible to see the direction.Whenever she wants to leave the Huxin Pavilion, she will be swallowed by the lake water, and will reappear in the Huxin Pavilion after waking up.

When the white fox came back, he saw the turbulent water surface in the middle of the lake, so he understood a little bit, and said to Mingchi county master: "Miss sister, don't run away. I will negotiate with your master and let you go there soon. Now You just stay at ease. Otherwise, go out and meet your fiancé?"

"Hmph!" The county lord of Mingchi stopped talking and meditated silently in the Huxin Pavilion.

That's right, the "Water View in the Center of the Lake" painted by Tu Shan was given to Du Jinghua's fiancé half a year ago.When her fiancé was asked to go to Beijing to propose marriage, he brought Tu Shan into the city through the scroll.

Therefore, among the many immortals and demons in the city, none of them noticed Tu Shan's presence.Not long ago, Peng Shaoyu helped the scholar named Fu eradicate the evil fetus in his body, and he didn't realize that Tu Shan was beside him.

Of course, Tu Shan was not in the picture scroll when he went out to work.

Speaking of which, although Peng Shaoyu and Tu Shan knew each other through Ji Feichen, they never met once.

……

There was a severe drought in the city. Although the emperor sent monks to rescue the disaster, under the joint efforts of the Dragon God and the Drought God, it was only a drop in the bucket, and it was difficult to solve the root cause.

Li Fuming, Li Feiming invited Yuming: "Sir, there is no rain in the capital, sir, do you have a good plan?"

The Li family is different from other aristocratic families in the capital, because of Yu Ming's relationship, the well in the backyard of the Li family has never dried up.Moreover, there is a cool breeze in the mansion, so that everyone can work safely.

Seeing this, Li Feiming asked Yu Meizhi for advice on how to cure drought.

Because of "Qinghong"'s words, Yuming already had a plan in mind.He laughed and said, "The general's family is also a family of cultivators, so he should know the reason of this severe drought?"

"It seems to be the wrath of the gods?" Li Feiming vaguely knew something.The drought was caused by the emperor's massacre of gods in the past few years, which finally caused the gods to condemn him.

"That's right, the gods have modified the number of days so that no rain can fall in this area. With the power of the immortals, we can only protect a radius of a hundred feet and distort the law on a small scale. But if we want to really change the number of days, the only way to change the number of days is to let the gods withdraw their power, or use The Earth Immortal master took action personally, taking advantage of the loopholes in the Dao of Heaven. For the current plan, only the emperor sacrifices to the sky and prays for rain, can there be some chance of saving it."

"Sir, I am also aware of the practice of offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for rain. It is nothing more than sacrificing to the gods, using the power of the people's vows to induce the gods, and asking a certain great god to come forward to save them. But this disaster is originally from the gods, and I am afraid they will not come forward to save them. "

Therefore, Li Feiming set his sights on Xianjia.

Yu Ming shook his head: "The gods and immortals are originally one body, and the two veins are from the same source. Moreover, it is difficult for us to interfere with the movement of heaven and earth, and it is impossible."

"Sir, why do you have to lie to me? In the past, the gods and gods did not interfere with each other, and respected each other at a respectful distance. At this time, the gods have sinned and lost virtue to all living beings. This is a good opportunity for the immortal family to gain a good reputation."

"Immortals? Gods?" Yuming sneered and shook his head.

"Why, did I say something wrong? Could it be that there is no fight between the two families of immortals and gods?"

"Although the young master is from a family of cultivators, the Li family is not a Taoist family after all, and they don't know much about my Taoist philosophy. The so-called dispute between immortals and gods is nothing more than a group of boring people's nonsense. A real fairy family, where is there anything?" fight?"

Xuanmen does not reject Shinto, because the two families are originally one.Many celestial beings will turn to Shinto to collect incense and luck to help themselves go further when they cannot advance on their own path.Whether it is a celestial being or a god, they are all called heavenly beings.

Isn't the God of Five Poisons the Great God transformed by Zuodao Sanxian?

Chen Niangniang used to rely on the name of the God of Drought, and this drought was caused by her.

Most of the real people and immortals enshrined in many temples in the world are the famous real immortals of Taoism.

This time, the Dahong Emperor destroyed the temple and re-established the official worship. In addition to the gods of the Shinto way, many temples and altars of Taoist immortals in the world were also smashed.

Chen Niangniang complied with the destiny and came to the calamity instead of the gods, and there was no objection in Taoism.Moreover, the emperor's act of seeking longevity really offended the bottom line of Xuanmen.This time, Sangong is happy to see its success, so he watched from the sidelines.

"The Immortal family sacrifices to mortals. This is the Immortal, and this is the Divine Dao. The two are from the same source, so where is there any fundamental difference?"

Yuming stretched out his left hand and spread out his palm: "This is the way of the gods. Collect incense from all beings, weave a net to cover the world. Fishing and casting nets, covering the creation of the world and achieving the position of the supreme god."

He clenched his hands into fists again: "This is an immortal, work together to break through the heavenly way, and seek the fruit of the immortal way."

"But opening is a hand, and clenching a fist is also a hand. The same thing grows from the same root, so why turn against each other? The so-called confrontation between immortals and gods is nothing more than some people's paranoia." Yuming disagreed with Li Feiming's views: "Young master, You are also from a family of cultivators, so it is better not to say such things in the future. Otherwise, it will be ridiculed for nothing."

Li Feiming is also a stubborn person. He pondered for a while and said: "I also practice martial arts, so I know that the force of punching and swinging palms are different. Presumably there are differences between gods and gods?"

"Young master is also a martial artist, don't you know the principle of combining strength and softness? Open your palms, close your fists, one soft and one strong, and fight in the sky, and you can fight for a way to reach the sky. This is the incense in the world. Most immortals practice Dao fruit From time to time, I will also rely on Shinto to collect, so strong Daoguo—"

At this time, Yuming paused: "Speaking of which, I think of one thing. Today, the God of Drought has come to punish God, and ordinary gods dare not help. But what if we invite the ancient gods? The ancient gods and demons have great powers, I vaguely remember There is a rain master who is in charge of clouds and rain, and he may be able to alleviate the drought."

"Oh? There are such high-level people?" Li Feiming hurriedly asked.

Yuming took the opportunity to tell Qinghong's lie.

The so-called Master of Rain is precisely the way Qinghong pretended to use the name of a god to spread the 24 solar terms and fulfill the vow of Daoguo.

With Yuming's instructions, Li Feiming immediately went to the palace to play.

However, in the past few days, various parties have frequently found capable people and strangers, saying that they can alleviate the drought in the Dahong Emperor's dynasty.There are heretics who don't know the depth, there are charlatans who bluff and deceive, and there are some people from the magic sect who fish in troubled waters.

In short, even if the "Rain Master" recommended by Li Feiming is added, it is just one more place among the many places.

Facing dozens of places, the emperor was worried for a while.

At this time, a Lord Yan who was quite favored by the emperor stepped forward.This person's name is Yan Rui, and he had a relationship with Ji Feichen and Li Jingxun in the past.When the two were aliased as brother and sister, they once taught him to practice Confucianism and Taoism, and now Yan Rui has stepped into the realm of great Confucianism.

He was dreamed by Qinghong yesterday, and at this time he took the opportunity to come forward and said: "Your Majesty, since these people claim to have great supernatural powers and can save the drought in the capital, why don't you set up a rain prayer altar in the suburbs and let them pray for rain to save the drought? People who are bluffing and deceitful, beheaded directly under the altar, just to use it to sacrifice to heaven."

The emperor felt that this method was good, and because the concubine Mo concubine was ignorant of it, he posted an imperial list and invited monks from all walks of life to practice it.

……

Three days later, an altar for praying for rain was built in the northern suburbs.

The north is Xuanshui.Therefore, the Rain Prayer Altar is built in the north, which has the effect of gathering water transportation.

However, in the eyes of experts from all walks of life, there is no such thing as converging water transportation.

"The fire cloud driven by the god of drought in the sky is too strong." Luo Qingyi and others took advantage of their identities and mixed in with the crowd watching the ceremony.These people from the Demon Sect gloat over others' misfortune, especially those from the Tianxin Demon Sect, wishing that the drought would worsen.It is good to use the dryness of the heart to refine the heart demon of the dry king for self-cultivation.

"According to His Majesty's instructions, please take turns to pray for rain on the altar of 33 immortal masters. If the capital rains down, the imperial court will reward you heavily. But if you deceive the emperor, then please go to Zhanlongtai!"

Next to the Rain Prayer Altar, there is a Dragon Slaying Terrace.This dragon-slaying platform had indeed killed a real dragon, and Jinhu Long Bo died here.

In the dark, the princess and the three dragon generals are also watching the emperor praying for rain.Seeing the Dragon Slaying Platform, the expressions of the three generals changed greatly: "Princess, why don't we take the opportunity to break the Dragon Slaying Platform later!"

The dragon-slaying platform coincides with the meaning of slaying the dragon. Standing beside her, the eldest princess felt chills on her neck.With a cold face, she nodded silently: "In a while, after these charlatans make a fool of themselves, you will break the dragon-slaying platform. You can't keep this kind of thing!"

when - when -

Accompanied by Zhong Luzhi's voice, the first person to pray for rain came to the stage.

This person is proficient in profound arts and is a casual practitioner who practices water art.

He walked up to the altar of praying for rain, and noticed the supernatural power of the formations depicted on the altar of praying for rain: "Wonderful, the five-water Canglang formation depicted on this altar of praying for rain is enough to increase the power of any water attribute technique." The plain water bottle in my hand contains the water storage capacity of three big rivers, and with this rain praying platform, I am afraid it will not only succeed smoothly, but also reduce the consumption of mana."

So, the monk took out the white jade bottle with two ears and practiced it in public.

White light flickered in the bottle, and three feet of water vapor rose into the sky, condensing water clouds in the sky.

Not far away, under the reeds, the emperor led a hundred officials to watch the ceremony.Seeing the gathering of clouds and mist in the sky, someone said happily: "Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings, and invited virtuous people from all directions to help. I didn't expect someone to succeed in the first round!"

The emperor smiled, and looked up at the sky with provocative eyes: "God's punishment? As long as I give an order, I will have a hundred spirits to protect my body. What is a mere god's punishment?"

Chen Niangniang was thousands of miles away in Ning Xin Pavilion. She raised her head and glanced in the direction of the capital, then threw a red brocade handkerchief, which turned into a continuous red cloud and shrouded the sky above the capital.

The Eldest Princess hid in the crowd, and seeing the red light above her head, she couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that this Drought Goddess has a strong temper. As soon as the emperor began to pray for rain, she immediately took precautions."

Red clouds filled the air, and the so-called water clouds dispersed in an instant.

Seeing this, the casual cultivator moved the plain water bottle calmly: "Even if I can't pray for rain, I can still carry the water from the three rivers in the plain water bottle to relieve the drought."

So, he raised the vase, sprayed the clean water in it into the sky, and sprinkled it over the entire capital.

"How can I let you succeed?" The eldest princess threw out a white jade water bowl secretly. This is the treasure she brought out from the East China Sea, which can absorb all waters in the world.

The white jade bowl lightly scooped up the air, and the water from the three rivers fell into the jade bowl one after another.

"Not good, is there a cultivator secretly trying to obstruct it?" This casual cultivator is finally a smart person, he looked at the emperor and others beside him, and he understood a little bit: "I am afraid that there are some masters who are secretly seeking revenge and making trouble for Emperor Dahong. It seems that this rain-seeking merit is not easy to obtain!" So he pretended to take out another magic weapon to pray for rain, and took out the cyan light-escaping magic talisman.When it rises against the wind, it immediately turns into a blue light and slips away.

"Your Majesty, you must be incompetent. You have offended someone you shouldn't offend. This rain will not come down even if you ask for it!" Before leaving, Sanxiu kindly persuaded: "Instead of asking for rain, your majesty, it is better to go to the one who has come to heaven to punish you." people make amends."

This person fled, the emperor was furious, and slapped the imperial case hard: "Where did the demon come from, and he is talking nonsense in public. Come on, let me chase him, even if he escapes to the ends of the world, I must bring him back and subdue the law!"

The few national teachers below stood up slowly, and they also understood what was going on.

Just now this person is indeed a master of rain who is proficient in Taoism.Perseveringly, the fire cloud handkerchief in the air covers the clouds and mist, and the white jade bowl captures thousands of waters.No matter how clever the immortal family is, it is difficult to succeed in raining.

Several national teachers secretly said in their hearts: It seems that the current emperor is really at the end of his life.The last time the elixir was taken away by the people of the blood sea, and now they have offended the Shinto and the Dragon Clan.Although we are bound together with the Dahong Dynasty, we cannot cause the entire Dynasty to collapse because of him alone.

Everyone looked at each other, and three national teachers ran away to arrest people.Secretly let go of that casual cultivator, leaving some leeway for them in the Taoist Taoism in the future.It's not that there will be no foothold in Xiandao in the future.

Next, the second rainmaker came up to the altar.

The rain-seeker was just a charlatan, and he was soon found out and brought to the Zhanlongtai to subdue him.

"Listen, as long as you can ask for rain and clean water. I will immediately decree that I will be honored as a national teacher and enjoy the incense and sacrifices of all people. All the rare treasures of the Emperor Dahong, let him choose three! But If you wait to fish in troubled waters, this liar will be your fate!"

Pointing to the headless corpse on the ground, the emperor said coldly: "Now, those who want to withdraw should stand up directly. Before taking the stage, there is still a chance."

The remaining 31 people looked at each other, and a few people silently withdrew.These people are nothing more than swindlers. After being dragged down by the officials to beat them for [-] boards, they were thrown directly in the suburbs, and they were considered to have saved their lives.

The remaining 24 people sat quietly under the reeds.These are all truthful, whether they are casual cultivators traveling abroad, or real people under the pseudonym of the magic sect.There were even a few guys that even Ji Feichen couldn't see through.

Ji Feichen watched from the sidelines for a while, feeling in his heart that if these people were allowed to go to the altar, someone would really be able to break the alliance between the eldest princess and Chen Niangniang.

Therefore, Ji Feichen secretly sent a voice transmission to Yuming: "You go up and sacrifice to the 'Rain Master' directly, and I will help you secretly."
