Volume 1 The Wolf Smoke in the World Chapter 76 Pray for Rain

"Oh my God, it's going to rain."

"Yes, yes, please."

The sound of begging for rain shook the heart of Emperor Yuxi.

Since May, there has been a severe drought in a hundred miles around the capital city, and the cracked land has withered and killed one crop after another.

This was followed by a plague of locusts, and the remaining green seedlings were eaten away.

From Guanzhong to Haojing, hundreds of people went out of Lintong Pass to flee the famine in the south of the Yangtze River. However, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, and Emperor Yu Xi looked at half a bowl of sour plum soup, which was really difficult to swallow.

"What's going on with Qin Tianjian? Isn't it the beginning of the year when the weather is smooth? Wu Chengfeng also reported that this year is a rare year of great abundance, why did this dry dragon king stay in the capital for two months and not go west? ”

Emperor Yuxi's face was gloomy, and he was furious in the Longqing Palace.

The foreman eunuch Bai Gui knelt on the ground, his ass pouting. Trembling and said: "Your Majesty is a little restless, you have already issued an edict, the whole country can ask for rain to reward thousands of gold, seal ten thousand households, presumably there will be brave men under the heavy reward." Moreover, the immortals of the Taibai Sect and the Hehuan Sect had already gone to the Qin Heavenly Prison, and it was said that they were going to take the stage to ask for rain. ”

Emperor Yu snorted coldly: "It is true that the Taibai Sect is the first major sect of my dynasty, but it is mostly sword cultivation and Taoist cultivation, not to mention the killing, this touches the heavens and the earth, but it is not good to go to the altar to ask for rain, that is to watch my edict, to join in the fun."

As for the Hehuan Sect, the sect of the noble concubine Niangniang, forget it, don't talk about her, and go to Qin Tianjian to have a look first. ”

"No!"

Bai Gui followed Emperor Yu and ran to the Qin Heavenly Prison.

Forty miles on the outskirts of Beijing, ask for a rain altar.

On the high platform, it was covered with money and food sent by the victims of the Quartet, and it was hard to pile up a rain prayer altar with gold and silver, and put it on the mahogany high platform.

At this moment, on the high platform, Huang Xiadao is holding a peachwood sword, dancing like the wind, and chanting in his mouth: "Tianzun takes the five-colored clouds and comes to the land." Make a great deal of power and see the light. With the Heavenly Dragon King, the fairy boy and the jade girl, more than 7,200 people, preaching the Fa-rectification and saving all sentient beings. The torrent of large injections should be sweet and moist at the right time. Taishang Laojun, anxious as a law, sick! ”

The peachwood sword went straight to the sky with a thunderbolt, but I saw the dark clouds rolling and the wind suddenly rising. The people on the side cried with joy: "Living immortals, really living immortals, thank you to the living immortals for asking for rain!" ”

On the high platform, there is a tablet dedicated to the Northern Sky Yuzun, and next to him is the Thunder Male Lightning Mother, the Dragon King of the Four Seas.

In front of the tablet, 300 candles and large wax flames are swirling, and white jade and gold leaf are all royal offerings.

Emperor Yu Xi stood under the stage, unconsciously twisting the dragon's beard: "Well, this Huangxia real person is really a bit of a Taoist." ”

Wu Chengfeng, the young eunuch of Qintianjian who was half-hunched on the side, hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Huang Xia Zhenren attained the Tao at the age of fourteen, and he is the chief law enforcement heavenly master of the Taibai Sect. ”

Emperor Yu Xi nodded: "This high platform is built with so much silver, won't the government take out some of it?" Why should the people contribute. ”

Wu Chengfeng hurriedly replied: "This prayer altar was built by the order of Huang Xia Zhenren, and the four beams and eight pillars are extremely exquisite, and it took forty days." Originally, the government allocated disaster relief funds to collect 10,000 taels of silver and had not yet been used up, but Huang Xia Zhenren said that this time to ask for rain, it is not as good as in the past, and it is necessary to move the sky with sincerity, so the people have to give up their property to always. ”

The two were talking to themselves, when suddenly the thunder in the sky gradually decreased, as if it was closed by something, and then gradually dispersed, and the sky was full of red clouds, and the rain did not come down after all.

The common people shouted one after another: "May the Heavenly Master cast more mana, and we are willing to donate gold, silver, and grain again." ”

A gray-haired old man offered a pair of white walls with trembling hands.

A beautiful and plump Taoist aunt on the stage, with a charming face, was already impatient when she was meditating on the high platform at the moment. She is Liu Ting'er, the younger sister of the noble concubine Chen Yuanyuan, and she is the new nobleman dedicated to Emperor Yuxi by the Hehuan Sect this time.

At this moment, Liu Mei stood up: "Real person, it's really not good, just use a live sacrifice." ”

Huang Xia Zhenren's brain also sweated, and he hesitated for a moment: "No, the sacrifice of living people is too moral, I'm afraid I will reduce my longevity." ”

Liu Ting'er sneered: "My generation of cultivating immortals is acting against the sky, how can I take care of human life and break the avenue." ”

After that, he flashed off the apricot yellow robe on his body, only wearing a belly pocket inside, with white and greasy skin dazzling eyes, and smiled at the old man who offered the white wall, and hooked his fingers.

The old man seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, and his face was full of red light and he rushed to the altar of praying for rain. Liu Ting'er kept dancing, slender waist and hips, twisting coquettishness, that dance posture was extremely tempting.

The old man gradually couldn't bear it anymore, and the tent was already erected under his crotch. "Wow" pounced on Liu Ting'er with a voice, and Liu Ting'er grabbed the old man's crotch, and with a "poof" sound, she broke through the yang pass and grabbed the old man's blood.

The old man screamed and fell to the ground and died, his body quickly withering.

Liu Ting'er devoured half of the essence blood in one hand in her scarlet lips, and sacrificed the other half to Beidi Haizun. Suddenly, a puff of green smoke rose from the prayer altar, and Yuanyang was roasted by the candle flames and rose up.

Unexpectedly, after the green smoke rose into the air, the dark clouds accumulated deeper, and there were bursts of thunder, but there was no lightning. There was a stalemate for a long time, and it was covered by the red glow. The rain still hasn't fallen.

The people knew that these were immortals, and when they saw the old man falling, they didn't dare to say it openly, but they just knelt down one after another and asked the immortals to rain.

Liu Ting'er was furious: "The sacrifice is not enough, if ten more people are young and strong, it will rain." ”

When the people heard her, they ran to the back with a "whoosh", for fear of being pulled up as a sacrifice.

Huang Xia Zhenren hurriedly stopped her: "No, no more, causing more murder and causing the people to mutiny, it is not the responsibility of the fairy aunt." ”

After speaking, the peach wood sword in his hand stood upright in the air, bit the tip of his tongue, and a mouthful of essence blood sprayed up, and the peach wood sword seemed to be psychic, emitting bursts of blue light.

Suddenly, as if the sky had angered God, a thunderbolt struck down, and the peachwood sword was in the middle of it, and it was immediately broken into two, and Huang Xiazhen's hair bun was also blown up, and her face was black. The people in the audience burst into laughter.

Emperor Yuxi, who was dressed in micro-clothes in the audience, looked angry, turned his back to Wu Chengfeng and said: "What kind of system, what kind of system." The monks and the like really can't be trusted, the rain didn't succeed, and he killed the people, and he made it so ridiculous, Qin Tianjian is in charge of Si Yu, Wu Chengfeng, who are you invited? ”

Wu Chengfeng was already frightened like a sifting chaff, and knelt on the ground with a "poof", his mouth trembling: "Your Majesty, this, this, Weichen didn't expect this." But there is another person who may be able to solve His Majesty's worries, but this person is the deputy secretary of the Qin Tianjian Supplementary Prison, with an ugly appearance, unkempt, and riding a tiger, just afraid of disturbing His Majesty. He has some skills in fortune-telling, as for asking for rain......"

Before he could continue, Emperor Yu was already impatient, and waved his hand: "Hurry up and call this person, you can't make a civil uprising, where is the face of the court." ”

Wu Chengfeng hurriedly ordered the attendant to find the master with a smoke, and secretly thought in his heart that it was really useless, so he found this person, how much thought did the court spend on this rain altar, and how much gold and silver were donated by the people and landlords, even if it was a trick, the rain had to be begged to come down, otherwise the court really didn't know how to end.

Emperor Yu was imagining that people did not know where it was sacred, and suddenly heard a tiger roar, he turned his head and put his hand on the pergola to look into the distance, and a black tiger came from far and near.

The black tiger has shiny fur all over its body, and its face is fierce, and along the way, it follows the rules, is docile like a big cat, and licks its tongue very pleasingly, but it does not hurt people.

On top of the black tiger, a monk was riding, thin and tall, dressed in a black cloth robe, shabby, and I don't know how many days without washing, the corners were already damaged.

When I got closer, I found that he was not young, full of sixty years old, with a gray goatee, a long face with long life spots, and a pair of long snow-white eyebrows hanging down on his chin. It's just a pair of big hollow eyes but a pair of black holes, obviously blind.

Holding a yellow-skinned oil-paper umbrella in his hand, it is black, and I don't know how many stains have been sticked.

Emperor Yu was suddenly displeased, feeling that the appearance of the person who came was too ugly and sloppy, and said a little coldly: "Dare to ask the monk, there is a drought in the area of Haojing for more than three months, what is the use of your umbrella?" ”

Although Emperor Yu was wearing civilian clothes, Wu Chengfeng was half-bent over like a pug and waiting.

The monk couldn't see, but he had already guessed eight or nine points in his heart, and stood with one palm: "Amitabha, the old monk can pinch and calculate, today will inevitably rain down, more than three days in a row, if you don't open an umbrella, you will be wet by the rain." ”

Wu Chengfeng on the side shouted: "Bold Yao Guangye, when I see a nobleman, don't talk nonsense, and reply honestly." ”

At this time, Emperor Yu was surprised, usually monks have a legal name, this monk turned out to be a common name, and then said: "The monk actually showed people by common name, since he spoke loudly, dare to ask who I am?" ”

The emperor is bullying the monk and can't see it.

Yao Guangye yawned, as if he hadn't woken up from a nap, and said, "Is this still a calculation?" Listening to the people around you and other servile looks, there is no doubt that you are Your Majesty today. ”

Wu Chengfeng was shocked and hurriedly said: "Yao Guangye, don't you kneel when you see the Ninety-Five Supreme?" ”

Yao Guangye didn't seem to hear it, so he covered his mouth and muttered: "The old monk is already outside, and he has no home when he is a monk, so how can he say that the monarch and the minister's father and son will say it." ”

Emperor Yu waved his hand, stopped Wu Chengfeng, and said: "This is not a skill, nothing difficult to guess, but how do you know that there will be rain today?" ”

Yao Guangye took out an object from his arms with a muddy black hand, which turned out to be a bamboo dragonfly made of three-tailed carved feathers. With a forceful push, the bamboo dragonfly flew into the air, reaching the place of the red glow, and flew back to Yao Guangye's hand after a while.

Yao Guangye held a bamboo dragonfly in his hand and displayed: "Emperor, please see, these three-tailed eagle feathers have been wet by the clouds and water in the air, and the whole body is infiltrated, it can be seen that the rain is enough, and the heavy rain will fall today." ”

Emperor Yu was first overjoyed and then surprised: "Then why is the rain delayed?" ”

Yao Guangye pursed his long eyebrows and said, "Does Your Majesty want to hear the truth or a lie?" ”

Emperor Yu didn't like him deliberately showing off, and said with a calm face: "I naturally follow the advice and like to listen to the truth." ”

Yao Guangye smiled and shook his head: "Don't believe it, don't believe it." According to the way of heaven, this year was supposed to be a good year, but the emperor was unjustly imprisoned and wanted to slaughter Zhongliang, but the sky did not like it, so he obstructed the rain and dew to show punishment. ”

Emperor Yuxi's face turned pale with anger, and everyone on the side was so frightened that they knelt down one after another, Wu Chengfeng originally wanted to pull Yao Guangye off the tiger's back to apologize, but after looking at the black tiger, he retreated again.

Emperor Yu barely suppressed his anger, and said coldly: "Thief monk, I'm afraid that you have accepted a bribe from someone, come to me and hit the wooden bell, who do you want to save, please say clearly." ”

Yao Guangye sighed: "I can't save it, I can't save it, the destiny has been decided, if I force it, it will definitely make waves again, and a catastrophe will come." The monk only made a statement and had no other intentions. ”

Emperor Yuxi's face changed slightly: "Can a monk have a way to ask for rain at the moment?" ”

Yao Guangye nodded: "I can ask for it, but I just need the emperor something, I don't know if I am reluctant to give it up?" ”

Emperor Yu turned his anger into joy: "As long as you can ask for rain, I will immediately crown you as a national teacher, and I will grant everything you need." Yao Guangye stared at the empty pair of black hole eyes, carefully looked at the weather of Emperor Yuxi, and then slowly spoke: "Since it is the person who has been convicted of the sky, he needs to untie the bell, the emperor borrowed the old monk's life span for a year, and this rain will definitely fall." ”

Emperor Yuxi's face changed again at this time, although he didn't believe in the monk's strange theories, but he always felt that borrowing a year of life was not a good thing for him.

But looking at the prayer altar, the people wept bitterly, rolling all over the ground in the wilderness, their lips were chapped, their breath was dying, and they couldn't bear it.

Thinking that he was young and strong, he gritted his teeth: "Okay, I will lend you a year of life, and if you can't ask for rain, I will immediately behead your bald head." His words were already tinged with vicious resentment.

Yao Guangye looked strange, and said with a smile: "The emperor is so generous, do you know that you only have two years left to live, lend me another year, then next year I'm afraid you will have to control Bintian." ”

This sentence is really bold, and it has already violated the biggest taboo in the imperial court, Wu Chengfeng shouted: "Your Majesty, please give an order to arrest this crazy monk, don't let him gossip again." ”

Emperor Yu stared at Yao Guangye viciously at this moment: "Curse me? What a bold man, whether you succeed or fail to ask for rain today, you will be imprisoned and tortured, I want to see who sent you, why don't you go and ask for rain quickly. ”

Yao Guangye was not afraid, stretched out his stained black hand, and clawed in front of Emperor Yuxi's forehead, Emperor Yuxu suddenly felt his body light, as if something invisible had been taken away.

Yao Guangye raised his fist with his right hand, as if he had grasped a god, suddenly spread out his palms, and blew a breath in his mouth: "Burn!" ”。

With a "bang", a dragon-shaped flame rose from the palm of his hand, which was unusually bright.

He knew that this dragon-shaped aura was very precious, and he couldn't waste a moment, so he hurriedly flew from the tiger's back to the altar of praying for rain.

Liu Ting'er and Huang Xia Zhenren were worried spontaneously, seeing a black-clothed monk jumping onto the altar, they had the idea that they could delay it for a moment, and they didn't stop it.

Yao Guangye looked at the tablet of Beidi Haizun in front of him, and then looked at the Dragon King of the Four Seas and Lei Gongdian Mother on the side, stared at the tablet in the center and shouted: "Lao Hai, hurry up and break the stopper in the sky, our people in Dayu want rain to save their lives." ”

The tablet is carved out of wood, what can be the reaction. The people in the audience were already laughing, thinking that this monk was crazy.

Yao Guangye was furious: "Don't be ashamed, ignore me, wait for me to burn your roof, see if you save it." ”

With a flick of his hand, the dragon-shaped flames in his palm were like flames, and the sound of "poof" was all shot on the roof of the shrine, and the tablets of several rain gods were all burning, and the three hundred candles in front of him burned with the help of the wind.

Huang Xia Zhenren shook her head with a wry smile on the side, secretly thinking that it turned out to be a crazy monk, okay, he burned the god seat, and he couldn't ask for rain, and the court couldn't blame me for waiting.

Liu Ting'er had already made a mockery: "What kind of predecessor is my Dao, I don't see the spiritual light, and I don't see the law, and I actually burned the homes of the immortals as soon as I came up, I am not a madman, ridiculous, ridiculous." ”

Yao Guangye ignored Liu Ting'er, turned his face and said to Huang Xiazhen: "You five thunder Tiangang righteous law secretly learned from Longhu Mountain, only its shape, not its true essence, the four beams and eight pillars of the rain altar are set up well, otherwise even the dark clouds will not come."

But you have to remember that the Taoist immortal law is the right way to follow the sky, if you encounter a disaster, you should have the courage to go against the sky, otherwise blindly complying, it will be a small path after all. ”

Huang Xia Zhenren who said these words was stunned, as if his master was teaching earnestly in his ears, and he couldn't help but think, he is a monk, how can he know my Taoist immortal arts.

Liu Tinger is very dissatisfied with Yao Guangye's ignorance of herself, since her debut, which man has not looked sideways at herself, she is so disappointed, and she is annoyed: "Thief monk, you have been talking for a long time, is it raining this time?" ”

Yao Guangye suddenly stretched out the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and hit it on the top of his head: "The rain is coming!" "But seeing that the ceiling on the tablet of Beidi Haizun has been burned out, I see that it is about to burn to the tablet itself.

Suddenly, "click" a sharp flash, followed by five in a row, one after another, the dark clouds in the air pressed down again, the red glow was all over the sky, trying to obstruct the dark clouds, but was smashed by six lightning strikes, the dark clouds rolled, the wind was raging, the red glow could no longer stop the dark clouds, and there was a thunderclap, shaking the heavens and the earth, splitting the red glow, the bean-sized rain beads poured down, and the crackling ground and mountains sounded.

The people shouted one after another: "Heaven has appeared, the master's magic power is boundless, thank you for the master's kindness." ”

One by one, children were playing in the water with their bare buttocks, and women and children of old and young would rather have their clothes doused than go home to avoid the rain, and they all looked up to the sky and opened their mouths, greedily drinking the rain falling from the sky. Only that Liu Ting'er, dressed in a red belly pocket, was doused by the rain, and suddenly her whole body was exquisite, and she couldn't wrap it.
