On the other side, the old man was roughly imprisoned in a cell, and he was still in fear as he thought about what had just happened.
"Damn it! What the hell is this place? How could a mortal defeat us? Why was that powerful monk also wiped out?"
If he was not mistaken, then what was taken out and crushed was the Nascent Soul!
Thinking of this, the old man broke out in a cold sweat.
"Damn it! I will definitely escape!"
"Hey, fellow Taoist, you want to escape?"
"who are you?"
The old man's mood was interrupted by a sudden voice in his ear. He looked up and saw a lazy monk being locked up next door.
Don't ask him why he can tell that the other person is a cultivator. Monks are different from mortals and you can tell at a glance. Even if they don't have magic weapons or robes, their bodies transformed by spiritual energy still stand out among mortals.
If I had to describe it, it would be glowing.
"As for me... I am a monk who suffers from the same illness as you... You want to escape, right?"
"how?"
Seeing him looking at him with gloating attitude, the old man felt somewhat dissatisfied.
"Nothing, I just told you not to run away, you can't escape."
"Why!"
"How can we escape without spiritual energy? Didn't you find out? Can the chain in your hand lock our spiritual energy?"
"So what? With my help..."
"You mean you can just go out easily with your strong body?"
The man laughed and said:
"Don't even think about it! Look at that guy!"
The old man looked in the direction he was looking and saw a large, half-dead figure lying in another cell, covered in blood.
"That was a physical cultivator. He tried to escape, but was slapped back."
“You’re looking at that!”
He pointed at a thin man who looked good except for his crooked mouth.
"That was a sound cultivator who wanted to seduce others with his voice, but it backfired and he lost his breath and his mouth became crooked."
He pointed at another man, a man with a dark aura.
"That person, do you know who that person is? The evil demon Tian Feng"
"It turned out to be him!"
The old man was surprised! Evil Demon Tian Feng is a resounding title, not to say that he is an evil demon, but that his methods are comparable to those of an evil demon, and countless proud sons of the emperor have died in his hands.
“Has such a person also been arrested?”
Hearing his exclamation, the man looked up at him and sneered.
"Forget about it. This damn place has somehow banned all of our magical powers. There are also strange things blocking our magic power. We can't escape at all!"
Hearing what Tian Feng said, the old man felt hopeless!
What sin had he committed? He actually fell into the trap!
Chapter 598: Building an Altar and Spreading Rumors (4000)
Roar--
A long, almost imperceptible sound that only he could hear sounded slowly, with a hint of arrogance and flattery, as well as a hint of joy.
Keqing gradually came back to her senses and her consciousness returned to normal. She looked at the golden dragon that had regained consciousness in front of her. Although it was not as good as the real golden dragon above the country's destiny, its appearance was mighty and domineering, with a ferocious dragon head and five sharp claws that danced with it. It was hundreds of feet long, and its mighty tail swung its tail, giving it the appearance of a mighty and domineering dragon.
Keqing waved her hand lightly, and a golden dragon transformed from the power of faith swam above her eyes, then slowly descended, landing in front of her, bowing its head in submission.
Keqing gently touched His head, feeling the majestic power, and her gaze fell into the golden dragon's eyes.
As expected, there was no spirituality in the golden dragon's eyes. The golden dragon here was just a simple projection of divine power.
"So, if we go back in time, we will lose our emotions?"
Time
Qing thought about what had just happened. Some things she did instinctively. No matter whether it was the man's attack or Ms. Lin's excitement to meet her, nothing caused a ripple in her heart.
But if we say that all seven emotions and six desires have disappeared, it would be better to say that only pure rationality remains?
This also makes her prioritize reason when doing anything. But it is also true that, after all, her body was created by the destiny of the country, and her instinct is to protect the country. How could she have biased emotions?
No matter what, after this incident, I have awakened the dormant divine power, and now the divine power here can be used.
With a thought, Keqing temporarily returned to her body and slowly opened her eyes in the bedroom.
[Master, how is it, was it successful? ]
The voice of Little Coal Ball came from her ears, and Keqing nodded slightly.
"Ok!"
[That’s great. Now your idea can finally be realized.]
"yes……"
Keqing touched her chin, and her tense heart relaxed for a rare moment. Although she had talked about her previous idea, she had not only lost her memory, but also had only a vague understanding of many things. She could only rely on theoretical knowledge to outline her insignificant ideas.
However, now that the Li Kingdom has arrived, the body transformed by the national destiny has descended and its will has broken through the limitations of this small world. The confined consciousness has begun to become active, unaffected by emotions and external interference.
She did not forget to think about some things when dealing with the enemy, because with the above bonuses, many shortcomings were supplemented and some unexpected things were also made up for.
The restrictions and blessings of the body on the will are indeed beyond imagination. At least Keqing feels that many of the existences that she had not imagined before have been newly conceived and formed a perfect closed loop in her mind, without any mistakes or omissions as before.
Moreover, some of her memory was restored, which was enough.
“Then let’s get ready!” Keqing stretched out her fingers, and a golden divine power flowed out from between her fingers, transforming into a small golden dragon that coiled around her. “You have to pray for rain in the right way. Since we are harvesting faith and revealing our identity, we have to make sure that moment is deeply imprinted in everyone’s hearts.”
A lot of thoughts were running through Keqing's mind. Some things were necessary. Although the method of believing in gods was somewhat inappropriate and it would be safer to rule the people with the country, that method would take too long to take effect and she didn't have that much time.
As the saying goes, it is the deeds that count, not the heart; no one is perfect in heart. In such a short period of time, only this kind of barbaric religious belief can greatly promote the progress of her plan.
The rise of the Goddess Cult has proved this point. In this case, let’s fight poison with poison.
Now that she had obtained the divine power to perform magical powers, Keqing did not waste time, but summoned Qizhou to ask him to build a high platform next to Hengshan County to serve as an altar for praying for rain.
In ancient times, people believed in gods and immortals, and thought that the gods were all high up in the sky. Only by building a platform high enough would it be easier to convey their wishes to heaven.
Therefore, when there is a severe drought, people usually pray for rain on a high altar.
Keqing did not reveal her entire plan, so Qizhou was a little stunned when he learned that Keqing was going to build a platform outside the city.
"Princess, I wonder what this platform is for?"
"Pray for rain."
"Pray for rain?"
Qizhou was stunned and looked up in surprise. Why would the princess suddenly want to pray for rain? Isn't that just fooling the ignorant people...
Suddenly, Qizhou's pupils shrank sharply and he thought of something.
"Will the princess pray for rain herself?"
"Um……"
"So the previous land reclamation, land reclamation, and digging of canals and reservoirs were all preparations for this?"
Seeing Keqing nod again, Qizhou's eyes lit up and he was excited.
He took a deep look at Keqing, then bowed his hands heavily and assured her:
"Don't worry, my lady, I will definitely take care of this matter."
He hurried away and left the city to make arrangements.
Combined with what the princess said before, there is a great disaster in this world. In addition, the Great Zhou is in turmoil, there are earth dragons turning over, and floods are invading. There is also a severe drought in this area, and the people are displaced and suffering terribly.
The rites, music and morality have collapsed. Even for the refugees in Hengshan County, even though they have relief food to fill their stomachs, they still cannot feel at ease.
Not only have I lost my loved ones, I have not been able to start a family, I have no property, and I have no one to rely on.
But now, if the princess could really pray for rain, I'm afraid...
Qizhou took a deep breath, his eyes shining frighteningly.
If it is really feasible, what the princess said before, collecting incense to enhance her own strength, may be accomplished.
He was delighted and excited, but he did not delay for a moment in taking action. He immediately ordered people to build an altar in Hengshan County.
At the same time, he sent people to spread rumors secretly, laying the groundwork for the princess to pray for rain later.
This altar must not only be built high, but also more imposing so that everyone can see it, which will make it more shocking.
While Keqing was still getting familiar with the divine power and studying her magical abilities, Qizhou took action.
I saw a large number of people starting to build something in the open space outside Hengshan County.
They cut down thick tree trunks, recruited the best craftsmen, and began to arrange something with great fanfare.
Such a huge and completely unconcealed movement immediately attracted everyone's attention. They were curious about what this person was doing outside.
When the princess was about to do something, a piece of news suddenly spread among the crowd like flowers.
The county lord built an altar to offer sacrifices to the heaven and pray for rain.
"What!? Pray for rain?"
"It can not be?"
Everyone's first reaction was not excitement, but fear and terror.
Why is this? Of course, it is because every time the altar is built and prayers are made for rain, the officials will wantonly harvest the people under their rule, under the pretext of asking for rain from heaven. If there is no sacrifice that satisfies heaven, how can the rain be prayed for?
Anyway, they just harvested in various ways, which resulted in the people losing their property every time they prayed for rain. Some people even had to pay an additional tax, which was really ridiculous.
When people heard about the sacrifice to heaven, they all changed color.
On the other hand, people both believe and don’t believe in praying for rain.
Those who believe naturally believe that there are gods in heaven, and those who don't believe naturally don't believe that offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for rain can have any effect, because in their memory, the so-called praying for rain has no effect at all except for those masters plundering their food.
That's all lies.
Therefore, when everyone heard this, they were shocked and started to get in chaos.
"That's what I said. There is no place in this world that is peaceful. I think the little princess of Hengshan County is probably the same. A little kid is actually learning to pray for rain. I'm afraid it's hilarious."
"This...what should I do? Is there any big move from above? I don't have any food, but I do have a life."
"No wonder they were so generous in giving us food before. It turns out they were trying to get us to give it back!"
Everyone was talking in an unpleasant tone, and their words became somewhat extreme.
Seeing that public opinion had almost reached a consensus, Qizhou announced that the princess would personally perform the sacrifice and would not charge the people a single cent.
As a result, the people were very happy and were no longer so averse to the matter of offering sacrifices to heaven. Not only that, they even had a little more anticipation.
As long as they have to pay something, they can just offer sacrifice to the gods. It's no big deal. What if it succeeds?
It was at this time that Qizhou began to send people to guide public opinion, and the news spread among the crowd quickly like a swarm of locusts.
"Have you heard? It is said that the princess is a deity from heaven, and this sacrifice to heaven is no ordinary one!"
"Not ordinary, how can it be extraordinary?"
"Hey, you don't understand. Since the princess is a deity from heaven, she is naturally extraordinary. There is a connection. It is said that the princess is the granddaughter of the Jade Emperor and a fairy who came to the mortal world to experience hardships. This time, the princess was offering sacrifices to the heaven because she couldn't bear the punishment from heaven and the people were displaced, so she violated the rules of the mortal world. Now, she is going to say hello to the God of Thunder and the Goddess of Thunder above and ask them to make it rain for us!"
"No way……"
"Of course not. Do you know why there have been so many natural disasters recently? I heard that the emperor of the Great Zhou offended the Jade Emperor, and the emperor above was furious, so this disaster was sent down. It is said that a copper ball the size of a house was hung on a candle, and a dog was tied to a pile of raw rice that was as big as a mountain. If the copper ball is not melted, the dog will not be able to eat all the raw rice, and it will not rain!"
"Isn't this ridiculous? How can a dog melt such a large copper ball? How can a dog eat raw rice?"
The crowd was talking about it, and almost everyone had heard that the princess had an extraordinary origin.
There are roughly two types.
One possibility is that the princess is the Lady of the Nine Heavens who came down to earth. Seeing the great disaster in heaven and earth and the people being displaced, she couldn't bear it and came down to earth to help.
