Chapter Ninety-Four: Heaven Does Not Fulfill People's Wishes

The people of Wu County participated in all kinds of labor with unprecedented enthusiasm, all of which made the old people of Wu County sigh. For so many years, the people of Wu County have never made such a big move.

As the days passed, the most important things in Wu County now. The cultivation of medicinal herbs, the excavation and sale of minerals, and the progress of the construction of the reservoir began to go smoothly, making the faces of the people of Wu County smile.

At the same time, the ears of rice in the field have begun to turn yellow. In less than a month, the rice will be ripe, and overall the year will be smooth. It seems that this White Lotus Sect Master has brought good luck to everyone, and a bumper harvest is just around the corner.

But does God want to give the people of Wu County something to test? The crops are about to ripen, and the rice fields are in need of water. But it hasn't rained for nearly a month. Until then, the water stored in the rivers and ponds was barely enough to support the water in the fields.

However, who knew that during these countless sunny days with red suns, the water storage in rivers and ponds everywhere was already seriously insufficient. This can make the people anxious, and the crops that can be harvested at this critical moment have dropped their chains.

Fortunately, the county government had the foresight to dig a number of deep wells some time ago, and there are some well water in these wells, which can ensure the drinking water of the people and livestock. However, this amount of water is a drop in the bucket for a large area of crops.

The county magistrate Guo Long, the county Cheng Zhong Wenrui, and others have been anxiously damaged by the sunny days in the past few days. They looked at the red sun in the sky every day, hoping that it would leave soon and bring a dark cloud.

The people of the city have quietly begun to put incense wax paper money in the courtyard, kneeling in the courtyard and begging God for rain.

Someone in the city spread the news that the county government had punished a large number of monks. Finally, the gods and Buddhas in the heavens were angry, and they were ready to punish the people of Wu County in the form of drought.

These news began to circulate quietly among a very small number of people, and later intensified, and many people were preaching this topic.

Hearing these rumors, Yang Yun laughed. In his bones, he never wants to admit defeat, and he firmly believes in the truth that man will conquer heaven. Therefore, he organized the people of Wu County to seize the time and build a lot of waterwheels, which solved the irrigation problem to a large extent.

The drought is not too severe, and these efforts have alleviated a lot, but if it continues, this year's grain production will definitely be reduced. For this, Yang Yun still has some regrets.

The harvest in the first year of coming to Wu County was not good, although we could do everything possible to collect some grain from other counties to ensure that the people could fill their stomachs.

However, this is only the last step to be taken in desperation. Due to the continuous sunny days, the weather was very hot and humid, and there was not a single wind everywhere.

Many people were so hot that they couldn't sleep these evenings, Yang Yun studied medicine, and he studied physics and chemistry in his previous life quite well.

One night he was lying on a chaise longue in the courtyard to rest in the cold, Yanqin and Liu Yue sat next to him, one gave him a fan, and the other handed him chilled fruit.

Yang Yun enjoyed this treatment, but he thought quickly in his heart. Suddenly, he had an idea, and immediately thought about it, and finally he felt that no matter how hopeful it was, he still had to give it a try.

"The White Lotus Sect Master has personally rained rain!" The news soon spread among the people of Wu County. Casting rain, this is a phenomenon that the people of Wu County have never experienced, and they can only rely on the sky before.

Although there are times when pigs and sheep are slaughtered and God is prayed for a little rain, the effect is not obvious.

Now I heard that the White Lotus Sect Leader, Wu Wang Yang Yun, wanted to cast a spell for rain with his parents, and the people of Wu County suddenly became interested. They all wanted to take a look. Is this White Lotus Sect Master, who has vast magical powers and boundless mana, really able to rain?

This matter is the result of Yang Yun thinking about it for several days. He remembered that he had seen in a magazine before that in ancient times, these mages cast spells to rain, although it seemed to be feudal superstition and a little absurd, in fact, there was some scientific basis.

In ancient times, when there was a drought, people would ask a shaman to pray for rain, which later developed into a Taoist priest to pray for rain, although it was superstition, but it was not unreasonable. In places where the updraft is stronger, it is indeed possible for people to beat gongs and drums or shout underground, and it is indeed possible to form clouds and cause rain.

However, this kind of rainfall must be limited by certain conditions, and the area where the first rain will rain is not raining now, but the humidity of the air is relatively high, so there is the possibility of rainfall.

News came from the county government that the White Lotus Sect was mainly working with the common people to cast a spell to rain in the largest open area in the county. The people of the county were asked to bring gongs and drums, and everything that could make a sound, to gather in the open space of the county government to witness the rain cast by the White Lotus Sect Master.

Originally, Yang Yun was not very sure about this matter, and wanted to carry it out quietly. But this matter could not be successful without everyone's joint efforts. In desperation, he had no choice but to spread the news, hoping that all the people of Wu County would participate in the rain as much as possible.

This day has finally arrived, and almost all the tens of thousands of people in the county have come, including the people who live outside the county, and about 13,400 people have gathered, which is more than any grand festival in Wu County.

According to the requirements of the White Lotus Sect Master, the common people all brought gongs and drums, and those who did not have gongs and drums brought pots and pans, anyway, everything that could make noise was brought.

At noon, Yang Yun, the leader of the White Lotus Sect dressed in white, took a small sedan chair to the place where it rained.

The White Lotus Sect Master came to the middle of the field and walked into the small circle in the center that the county government had already prepared for him, a blank area.

I saw the White Lotus Sect Master walk into the field, chanting words in his mouth, and then inserting some long incense sticks in the eight directions around him, and then sitting cross-legged on the ground and starting to practice.

At this time, I saw that the White Lotus Sect Master took out a piece of yellow paper from his arms and stuck the tip of his sword into this yellow paper, and this yellow paper flew in the air and actually ignited on its own.

The yellow piece of paper burned and fell to the ground fluttering. At this time, the White Lotus Sect Master pointed the long sword in his hand to the sky and shouted loudly: "White Lotus Sect Master Yang Yun, pray for the Dragon Lord to cast a spell to rain." The villagers, beating gongs and drums, welcome the dragon lord to cast a spell to rain. ”

With Yang Yun's shout, the people around him immediately beat gongs and drums, and the sound spread to all sides.

When all the people present saw this, they all picked up all kinds of things in their hands and tried their best to make all kinds of sounds. For a time, the bells and drums, gongs, pots and pans of the whole county shook the heavens and the earth.

At this moment, the whole earth seemed to tremble. Yang Yunpan sat on the ground and didn't say a word. But everyone didn't know that Yang Yun was actually very nervous in his heart, because this kind of rain required too many conditions, and the possibility of success was not great, but for the sake of the people of Wu County, he was also worth trying.

Because the White Lotus Sect Leader and the officials of the county government did not let them stop the sound, the common people still beat the instruments in their hands hard, so that the sound continued to resound in the county seat.

A stick of incense passed, and there was not a trace of rain in the sky. These figures at the core of Yang Yun's power began to show anxious expressions on their faces. Because of the rainfall, the likelihood is too low.

If this matter does not succeed, the prestige that Yang Yun has managed to establish in the city may plummet. Therefore, Guo Long, Ju Yuanguang, Zhong Wenrui, Liu Yuan and others all ran to dissuade Yang Yun, hoping that he would stop the operation.

But Yang Yun thought that for the benefit of the people of Wu County, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he had to fight. Even if the rain is not successful, at least I tried my best.

The people looked at the sky without a trace of rain, and they were also a little anxious, and they began to talk about it, questioning the possibility of the success of the operation.

It's when everyone is talking. Suddenly a flash of lightning appeared in the sky. Immediately afterwards, a thunderclap sounded in the sky, and this sound immediately made everyone feel better.

There is thunder! There's a real chance it's going to rain! I don't know who took the lead and shouted: "Come on, everyone, beat the gongs and drums to welcome the Dragon King, the Dragon King will come soon!" ”

With this shout, the people of Wu County suddenly came to their senses, and everyone picked up the gongs and drums in their hands, and the pots and pans beat vigorously, trying their best to make the loudest sound.

They hoped that the dragon king in the sky would be able to hear their voices, and that they would be able to hear the prayers of the common people, hoping that his old man would cast a spell to cast rain on the net.

Perhaps the heartfelt prayers of the people were felt by the dragon king, and perhaps the sound of gongs and drums in the sky was heard by the dragon king.

Anyway, slowly, the sky began to darken. Everyone began to be happy, and beat vigorously despite the soreness of their arms.

Soon there was another flash of lightning and thunder, and then a bean-sized raindrop fell from the sky: "Success, really success!" ”

The people cheered, and they continued to beat the various instruments in their hands hard, and the rain was falling tick-tock.

Not a single person brought rain gear, and no one left, they looked at the sky happily as the waiting raindrops continued to fall. The rain became heavier and heavier, and after a while, many people were drenched in the rain, but everyone's faces were filled with cheerful smiles.

God finally heard the cries of the common people, and the dragon lord finally opened his eyes and began to rain. Everyone shouted, frolicked, and ran wildly in the rain.

Looking at the white-clothed young man in the center of the field, everyone's hearts were full of gratitude. This is the master of our Wu County, with such a master with vast magical powers, with such a master with boundless power, the people of Wu County will definitely live a happier life and a happier life.

Thinking of this, the people turned their heads and happily told the people around them their thoughts. For a while, the hearts of the people of Wu County were full of happiness, and this happiness was brought to them by the master in their hearts, the white-clothed sect master, and their Royal Highness King Wu.
