Picture 185: Pray for rain

The Zhan Mansion has already erected an altar.

At the foot of this huge high platform, firewood was prepared, and the piles of firewood formed a hill.

In Zhu Houzhao's words, since you want to move the heavens, you must be moved to the end.

If Li Daoren can't pray for rain, then he has to use a more drastic method, such as ...... Set a fire and burn Li Daoren to the Dragon King.

As early as hundreds of years ago, Prince Zhu Houzhao already understood the incentive mechanism of employees, which Fang Jifan expressed his appreciation.

Li Chaowen...... Crying again.

These days, although the tears have dried up, but after hearing these truths, he feels that his tear ducts can squeeze out some more fluid.

Fang Jifan looked up at the high platform, which was ten zhang high, and it was very spectacular under the golden sunshine, which was particularly eye-catching.

Zhu Houzhao stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and while looking up at the high platform, he also saw the blue sky without the slightest sign of rain.

Will it rain on such a day?

Zhu Houzhao was very unhappy in his heart, and couldn't help but look sideways at Fang Jifan, and couldn't help but ask, "Will it really rain?" ”

"Yes." Fang Jifan nodded solemnly, and said solemnly: "We have to believe in Senior Nephew Li, people are ready to take their lives in." ”

Zhu Houzhao sighed faintly: "Master Yang and Master Wang are very angry now." ”

Master Yang and Master Wang are naturally Yang Tinghe and Wang Hua.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and these two Zhan Shi and Shao Zhan Shi are about to vomit blood now.

Fang Jifan's face was expressionless and unmoved.

They vomit blood and don't vomit blood, what does it have to do with him.

"This palace also heard that Master Wang is worried, it seems that his son has an accident."

Wang Shouren?

Fang Jifan was a little confused, which one is this Wang Shouren playing?

"It's said to be hysteria."

"Oh." Fang Jifan laughed dryly, according to his understanding of Wang Shouren, there must be no hysteria, and he estimated that he was starting to think about things again, ah, no, a thinker like Wang Shengren should be thinking.

"Old Fang, this palace thinks it......" Zhu Houzhao hesitated for a moment before saying: "This palace feels that tomorrow's prayer for rain is not very reliable, and I feel that something is going to happen......"

Fang Jifan patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, my nephew, I'm not afraid of death, are we cowards?" We are friends, blessed and wearded. ”

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Fang Jifan with contempt, Fang Jifan patted his ass and ran away, leaving him alone in the warm pavilion The scene is still fresh in his memory!

"If you say this, this palace doesn't believe it, you are a person with brain disease, and you are not allowed to pretend to be sick at that time, and the matter will pass."

Belch...... Seemingly, do you really want to?

Fang Jifan's face flushed slightly, and he turned to say with a determined face: "I'm not such a person, why does Your Highness think of me like this!" ”

…………

Longquan Temple.

What happened in Beijing has inevitably spread to the Longquan Temple.

A Taoist tiptoed to Zhang Chaoxian's room and whispered a few words quickly.

Zhang Chaoxian couldn't help but smile contemptuously, he didn't even raise his eyelids, and only said lightly: "Tianzheng, look at this celestial phenomenon, is there any sign of rain?" ”

This made the Taoist of Tianzheng busy and said, "Master, no. It's been dry for more than two months, and there is no sign of rain so far. ”

Zhang Chaoxian snorted coldly and said: "That Li Chaowen is desperate, the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, he is greedy for the property in the view, he is the scum of Longquan Temple, he knows that he will die, so he wants to put it to death and live later, so he braves the disapproval of the world, wants to pray for rain, and wants to turn the situation around." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Chaoxian burst out laughing, his wrinkled face full of sarcasm.

"Li Chaowen is such a waste, how dare to fight with me, just rely on this waste, and deserve it? How can God say that if it rains, it will rain? ”

Thinking of this, he felt more and more ridiculous, thinking that Li Chaowen naturally couldn't ask for this rain.

He just sat back and watched the joke.

It's just that the next moment, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Zhang Chaoxian thought in his heart: "The only thing that is terrible is that uncle, this person has actually made a new uncle, it is not easy to provoke." ”

So, he slowly stood up and walked to the windowsill, from which he could see the beautiful scenery of Yuquan Mountain.

The beautiful scenery made him feel relaxed, and the worries in his heart were suddenly swept away, and he couldn't help but speak slowly.

"Send another sum of silver to the capital, and ask the director of the Daolu Department of the Ministry of Rites to step up the reform of Li Chaowen's Taoist book, heh...... Pray for rain...... What a joke. ”

"Yes......"

…………

Prayer for rain is about to begin.

The entire Jingshi has also been blown up.

In the East Palace, even a few streets away, you can see a high platform standing within the high walls.

The temporary platform towered into the clouds, and it was particularly magnificent under the shroud of golden light.

In the neighborhood, the news is circulating everywhere.

It's just a pity that Fang Jinglong is about to travel away.

He was reluctant to give up his son, reluctant to have the joy of bragging about Jingli and his old friends, and reluctant to have a lot of people.

But he knew that this time in Guizhou, he had to go, not only because of the holy order, but because the Fang family earned the family business by making meritorious contributions, and his father and grandfather all relied on a knife and a gun, and they were all spelled out from the pile of dead people, so they left their own grace.

He should be the same, relying on the sword and sword shadow on the battlefield, nine deaths, to earn a greater future for his son, what he walked is just the path of the ancestors, and what he left behind is more protection for his children and grandchildren.

So Fang Jinglong didn't want to stay too long, but resolutely chose to set off.

The accompanying people are all old brothers selected by themselves in the army, those old guys who pinched Fang Jifan's thin arms and legs in the Fang family during the Chinese New Year.

Some of them are silent, some of them are missing arms and legs, but they all have the same benefit, that is, they have been in the army for a long time, and they have a lot of treasures about the affairs in the army and on the battlefield.

In war, they may no longer be useful, but they can train soldiers, but they are all good hands.

At the wharf of the canal, several canopy official boats were floating on the water, and they had been waiting for a long time, and the soldiers had already saluted and boarded the boat.

When Fang Jinglong left, he didn't wake up Fang Jifan, he hoped that his son would sleep a little longer, when his son was growing up, he would still expect him to be able to pass on the lineage in the future, give birth to ten or eight, and spread out the branches and leaves for the Fang family, yes, Fang Jinglong didn't dare to disturb him at all.

His son was in Fang Jinglong's heart, with the feeling of licking the calf, Fang Jinglong glanced back at the Jingshi, as if he had penetrated the city wall, penetrated countless roofs, and could see his home.

Today, Fang Jifan's five protégés got up very early, they already knew that their master was going to travel far away, as grandsons, ah no, master and grandson, how could they not come to see each other?

Tang Yin and the others bowed and saluted: "Master, go slowly." ”

Fang Jinglong sighed, patted them on the shoulder, and said with a sigh: "You guys...... Great work. ”

His own son, he knows, thinking about these scholars, he is very uncomfortable for them, as soon as he enters the Fang family, it is as deep as the sea, and only Fang Jinglong understands the hardships.

Five protégés, all of them are wooden.

At this time, I heard the foot force on the side cross the trestle bridge, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the new uncle is the one who is newly sealed, and it is said that the one who has made great contributions, and His Royal Highness the Prince, want to pray for rain tomorrow." ”

"Can it really rain?"

"Look at this celestial phenomenon, can it rain?"

"If it doesn't rain, won't it become a joke?"

"Shhh

……

Their voices were not high, but Fang Jinglong heard it clearly, his old face couldn't help but turn red, and his heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Is this going to be seen as a joke?

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at Tang Yin and the others, and his gaze swept over their faces one by one.

I thought they would be the same as myself, but the five protégés were all eye-to-nose and nose-to-heart, and they didn't seem to be touched at all!

Fang Jinglong nodded secretly, these guys, amazing, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his color, and he has the style of a general.

"Gone."

He took a deep look at Jingshi, and resolutely went up to the trestle, leaving the five masters and grandchildren with a wide back.

…………

In the distance, Fang Jifan looked at the dock from afar, looking for his father's boat, which had left the dock and was cruising downstream.

In fact, Fang Jifan had already gotten up, but he couldn't see the scene of father and son being separated, watching the boat go away, Fang Jifan took a breath and looked up at the sky.

The sky was still clear, Fang Jifan couldn't help but feel empty, and asked secretly in his heart.

Will it rain?

Thinking about it like this, he felt that he was too much of a mother-in-law.

At this time, it doesn't matter so much, to this point, you have to believe in yourself.

The most important thing is to have faith in your mentor and nephew!

Early the next morning, when the morning dawn first appeared, Fang Jifan rushed to Zhan Shifu.

Zhu Houzhao was holding an almanac in a daze, and when he saw Fang Jifan, he hurriedly beckoned to him: "No, no, today is not an auspicious day." ”

You must know that praying for rain is to choose a good day and an auspicious day, Zhu Houzhao obviously has no confidence again, scratching his head, a face is more bitter than a bitter gourd, and it is clearly written in this almanac - the big murderer.

Fang Jifan looked at Zhu Houzhao with an anxious face, and couldn't help but comfort him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we are praying for rain in the Buddhist system." ”

"......" Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly changed, and the book in his hand was also thrown away by him, a pair of bright eyes widened, staring at Fang Jifan, and there was an urge to strangle Fang Jifan.

"Are you Dao or Buddha, you want to kill this palace!"

Fang Jifan hurriedly took a few steps back towards Zhu Houzhao, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.

"We are double cultivating Buddhism and Taoism, Your Highness, hurry up, we are about to start."

Zhu Houzhao had a feeling that he couldn't get off the thief ship.

He roared in his heart, this is the rhythm of being pitted to death!

Under the high platform of the Zhan Mansion, almost all the subordinate officials and eunuchs came.

The subordinate officials led by Yang Tinghe and Wang Hua raised their heads and looked at the high platform in amazement, as well as the Li Chaowen who was crying and being tied up by five flowers.

Their hearts are broken.

Liu Jin and the others looked very curious, the eunuchs, they all believed this, covered their mouths and whispered.

In fact, not only in this East Palace, but also outside the East Palace, it was already overcrowded, and many people looked at the high platform in the Zhan Mansion from a distance through the high wall.

Reputedly...... At noon, the altar is opened, and when the time comes, pray to the gods and rain down nectar.

Therefore, many spectators paid attention.
