090 Asking for rain
A blue canopy carriage came slowly in the distance, Guo Zheng looked at it for a moment, and exclaimed, "Isn't that the car of the Duke of Eguo?" Why did he come here? ”
Xu Lingda, the Duke of Eguo, is over 60 years old. The body is tough, but the temperament is much more indifferent, and I don't like to go to a crowded place when I am idle. Even His Majesty the Emperor invited him, and he had to pick a date. Today, the sun is coming out in the west.
Guo Zheng and Ren Dongyang straightened their robes and stepped forward.
The car stopped on the side of the street, and the staff of the Duke of E was the first to raise the curtain. He is also an old man with a lot of hair. The spirit is strong, and the eyes are shining. Not old at all.
Shang is in the public acquaintance with the Hubei State when it is small. In the early years of Hongguang, Yuan Wenzhong, the king of Ninghe, rebelled, and the country of Hubei was fair and chaotic. Make a great contribution.
The first emperor intended to reward him for being an official, but Shang did not accept it, and served the Duke of Eguo wholeheartedly. It can be said that Shang Zai and Eguo Gong are no longer simply masters and servants, but like relatives.
Guo Zheng clenched his fists and arched his hands, "Shanggong, don't come to harm." ”
Shang Zai bowed slightly at him, "Shouyi." Then he looked at Ren Dongyang, "Lezhen is also there." ”
"Shang Gong." Ren Dongyang stretched out his hand and took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to gently hold Shang Zai's elbow, and helped him out of the car.
Shang has the temperament of a literati. There is a light red scar on his cheek that swinds down to his jaw.
It is said that this was injured by King Ninghe with a knife. If it hadn't been for Gongsheng of Eguo who blocked him with his arm, maybe his head would have been split in half.
Guo Zheng also helped Eguo Gong down.
The Duke of Eguo ordered people to place the small pestle under the shade of the tree. It was as if he was going out to play, sitting there and talking to Guo Zhengren Dongyang.
"I've heard of this Pei Shenji for a long time, but I haven't had a chance to meet him. I heard she submitted the ghost last night? E Guogong's face was full of red light, and he was full of anger when he spoke. A handful of long gray hair hung down on his chest. Although he was sitting on a small stick, his back was straight, and his hands were on his knees.
Ren Dongyang said: "Yes, Pei Shenji is still injured. ”
"Really?" E Guogong was surprised: "Is the injury serious, can you still ask for rain?" ”
"The people from the Divine Machine Division said that they can come." Guo Zhengdao: "It's not about three moments, and it's time to arrive after a while." ”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Lang and Lu Jing, who were dressed in wide robes and big sleeves, came hand in hand.
The eldest princess of Pingyi was sent to the palace, and Lu Lang's wishful thinking came to naught, and she was very depressed. Lu Jing was very indifferent. He was already a little resistant to this matter, but it did what he wanted.
Under the sycamore tree, the Duke of Eguo, who was sitting like a clock, was very conspicuous, Lu Lang's brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered, "Why is he here?" ”
When the first emperor was there, the Duke of Eguo often met with him, but he was not very close.
Speaking of which, when the country of Hubei was in turmoil, Lu Lang also gave him a hexagram. Hexagram on top. Later, when the Duke of Eguo returned to the dynasty in victory, Lu Lang hinted several times that he wanted to make friends with him. Eguo Gong ignored it.
After coming and going, Lu Lang also lost his mind. At that time, he was the national teacher favored by the first emperor. It's too late for others to compete with each other, and the Duke of Hubei is stubborn and stubborn, and refuses to bow down. Even so, he doesn't have to make frequent overtures.
Now that feng shui is turning, the Duke of Eguo is still the Duke of Eguo, and there are many juniors who go to the Mansion of Eguo to pay homage to Jiang Carp. And he Lu Lang is far from the former scenery.
Fortune is fickle.
When Pei San made a big fool in front of everyone today, His Majesty the Emperor knew his ability as a teacher of Lu.
Lu Lang secretly pondered, shook off the dust in his hand, and walked slowly with Lu Jing in front of the Duke of Eguo.
"Grandpa Guo's demeanor is still the same." Lu Lang smiled, clenched his fists, and swept his gaze to Shang Zai, "Brother Cunyi." ”
They are all old acquaintances, and once they get together, they can't talk about joy. Shang Zai stood up, arched his hand towards Lu Lang, and called: "Master National Teacher." ”
The emperor is not credible, and he is really not up to the word adult. Lu Lang's face became subtle.
Shang Zai didn't seem to notice Lu Lang's embarrassment, smiled, and said, "If you're thirsty, buy cold water and drink it." With that, he nodded to the Duke of Eguo, and walked towards the stall selling cold water.
The attendant brought two more small pestles, Lu Lang and Lu Jing had just sat down, and the Duke of E said with a smile: "I heard that this time Pei Shenji asked for rain and Lu Guoshi had something to do with it. ”
Eguo Gong seemed to be saying that they were bullying the little hairy child. Lu Jing's cheeks turned red little by little.
Lu Lang lifted his beard, "This rain was originally what Lu Jing and I wanted. But Pei Shenji has to be a long and short. We had no choice but to let her go. Young people, they are always vigorous. ”
Guo Zheng glanced at the arrogant Lu Lang, wondering how embarrassed he could say it. Who stopped Pei San's carriage and forced him with words?
"Heming Tower is haunted and many people have died, and Pei Shenji has also been injured because of this." Guo Zheng said slowly: "If Lu Guoshi has time to go there and take a walk, it would be good to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net." ”
Lu Lang sighed, "Didn't the people from Dongchang already send the corpse to Yizhuang?" Pei Shenji has already surrendered that ghost thing, and it should be fine. Guo Ge always wants to believe her. ”
Guo Zheng snorted coldly in his heart, but he smiled very kindly, "After all, Lu Guoshi has a lot of knowledge." ”
Lu Lang smiled hehehe, "Where, where." ”
……
There are a lot of people in the sky, and the stalls selling cold water are very lively.
"A bowl of bean water, a bowl of ginger honey water, don't want honey." It was a chubby woman who spoke.
"You can just buy a piece of old ginger and eat it." I don't know which mouth owes, which made a group of people laugh.
The woman's small round eyes narrowed, "Don't you like sweetness?" ”
Another burst of laughter.
"I want a bowl of Lee's white cardamom water." There is humanity.
"Hey, it's just sold out, why don't you change to a snow bubble shrinking drink, okay?"
"Okay, okay. Have a bowl. The man sighed reluctantly.
Shang Zai stood on the side and waited for a while, ordered mung bean water, papaya juice, sugarcane juice, kumquat balls, etc., and asked people to pack them and send them to the Duke of Eguo. He asked for a cup of incense and drank it while strolling.
Outside the Donghua Gate, it is bustling and crowded. Shang was sweating profusely after strolling around for a while. He was very patient as he walked and watched, and suddenly heard someone shouting, "Cooking cakes, delicious cooking cakes." Shang Zai was not hungry, but he felt that the shouting was really good, and he felt that he would lose money if he didn't buy one and taste it.
So he squeezed through the flow of people, took out the copper plate and bought a cooking cake. When I looked down, I saw the candy man.
The viscous caramel seemed to be injected with life, swimming like a dragon and snake under the calloused palm, and soon Chang'e was drawn to the moon.
The little girl with a double bun grinned with a little red mouth with missing front teeth, and slapped her face happily, taking the sugar man into her hand and turning it over and over again.
Shang Zai's gaze followed the little girl with an innocent smile until she disappeared into the crowd.
"Pei Shenji is here." The angry shout called Shang Zai's gaze back. He followed everyone's line of sight and saw Pei Jinyao, dressed as a Taoist aunt, slowly ascending to the high platform.
She had a white cloth wrapped around her neck, and there was a faint dark medicinal juice oozing out, and it seemed that the injury was not light. She carried a peachwood sword behind her. Shang Zai recognized that it was an old thing from the end of Nangong. I didn't want to fall into her hands.
"It's a terrible thing!" Shang muttered quietly and took a bite of the cookcake. The fragrance of the face soothed the indignation in his heart.
"Miss Pei San is in good spirits." Wu put his hand on the pergola and said happily: "It's just that his face is pale." ”
Sugar Man Zhang snorted, "I thought she wouldn't be able to come." ”
"How so." There was a tall man in front of him blocking his view, and Wu Da stood on tiptoe, "Jiren has his own natural appearance." Miss Pei San has such a good heart, God will treat her well. ”
"But look, does it look like it's going to rain?" Sugar Man Zhang pointed to the scorching sun above his head, "If she can ask for rain, it will be amazing." ”
Wu Da wiped the sweat from his face, "You put away the sugar first, or it will rain later." ”
Sugar Man Zhang smiled disappretently.
……
Pei Jinyao came up to the stage and looked down at Wuyang and Wuyang were full of people. Young Eunuch Zhen didn't lie to her, the place where she stepped was heightened, and she put on Lao Wen's special boots, and her vision was broader.
"Everyone looks like they're happy. Nor did he hold rotten rotten eggs. The folk customs are simple. My blessing. She pursed her lips, "Great luck! ”
Pei Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief and set things up.
The people in the audience gradually fell silent. Everyone stared intently at Pei Jinyao on the stage, and they didn't even dare to come out.
"Why don't you start yet?" Someone muttered something quietly. The people around him booed constantly, "Don't make noise, don't make noise." Understand the rules. Look at the rain and can't make a sound. ”
How can there be such a rule? Net nonsense! The man blushed and lowered his head, angry rather than ashamed.
Pei Jinyao lifted her eyelids and looked at the dazzling sunlight, took a deep breath, spread the yellow paper on the table, and dipped the talisman pen in the dansha brush to draw a charm.
After the talisman is drawn, he picks it up with the tip of his sword, pinchs it with one hand, and the flares burst out of the fire rune paper and burns.
The little secret agent who was dressed as an idle man sighed and slapped his face, "Pei Shenji just subdued the ghost thing last night, and it is really amazing that he can still have such mana." ”
Lao Wen echoed, "Awesome, awesome." ”
Suddenly, the applause was thunderous.
Lu Lang's face was pale, his beard trembled and he reprimanded: "It's not a system." ”
Ren Dongyang took a sip of papaya juice, "The people like to be lively, and the national teacher should be harsh." ”
Guo Zheng said in a weird way, "The national teacher is saying that Pei Shenji is not in shape." "He's run out of coconut water. The taste is really good, just wait for this side to disperse and then go buy some and take it home to drink slowly.
Lu Jing raised his chin arrogantly and snorted, "It's just a small way, and it's worth making a fuss." ”
Guo Zhengwei really didn't like his arrogant appearance, "Don't be anxious about real people." If Pei Shenji can't make it impossible to ask for rain, he will ask real people to contribute. ”
Hearing this, Lu Jing's lips and beard trembled.
Guo Zheng curled the corners of his mouth and hummed a little song softly.
Pei Jinyao was excited when she heard the applause, and with a flick of her wrist, she sent the burning rune paper into the air, but she didn't expect the rune paper to be disobedient, and it suddenly fell straight down and landed on the wide sleeves of her robe.
Pei Jinyao hurriedly extinguished the fire, and a big hole burned out in her sleeve.
A bead of sweat the size of a bean oozed from the corner of the little agent's forehead, and he clapped vigorously and shouted, "Good! Good! ”
Someone persuaded: "Little brother, don't cheer." ”
"Pei Shenji is afraid that everyone will be tired of watching, so he did it on purpose." The little secret agent looked right, "You must not look down on asking for rain." I don't understand. ”
Lao Wen tugged at the placket of his shirt and lowered his voice, "Okay, don't be round." People are not blind. ”
"It's one thing for them to see, it's another for me not to help." The corners of the little secret agent's lips pursed into a word. Although others are in the Shenji Division and their hearts are in the East Factory, Pei Shenji treats him well after all, and he has to help him.
"Do yourself a favor." Lao Wen glanced at him.
The little agent glared back unconvinced.
Pei Jinyao shook off the burnt clothes, and her face sank like water. After a moment of silence, he decided to ignore the spell for now, took a deep breath, and danced the peachwood sword.
The posture is so beautiful that people quickly forget about the accident that just happened.
The cicadas hissed, but the sun was still warm. After a while, sweat seeped out and flowed on the wound, painful and itchy, like ants gnawing at it.
Pei Jinyao gritted her teeth and endured herself. Just when she wanted to put her sword down and admit to the people that she couldn't ask for rain.
A cool breeze blew a corner of dark clouds.
Pei Jinyao raised her eyes in surprise, and the dark clouds in that corner gathered more and more at a speed visible to the naked eye, covering the bright sun.
The little agent opened his mouth wide, with a look of disbelief on his face, pointed to the sky, and stammered, "Look, look at the rain, the rain clouds." ”
Lao Wen hurriedly continued: "Yes, yes." It's going to rain! ”
"Pei Shen's envoy has real skills." Someone lamented. This sentence speaks to everyone's heart.
Warm applause rang out again. Everyone stared nervously at the overcast sky, hoping for the rain to fall sooner.
Lu Lang's face turned pale, and he muttered, "This, how is this possible?" "Can that demon actually beg for rain?
E Guogong stood up, raised his face and said in a deep voice: "The future is terrifying. ”
"yes, the afterlife is terrifying." Guo Zheng looked at the girl on the high platform with a burnt sleeve and a little embarrassed, "Pei Shenji is definitely not a person who sells fame and reputation. ”
Lu Lang didn't delve into the deep meaning of his words, but his face was a little ugly.
Lu Jing narrowed his eyes, his fingers hidden under the sleeves of his robe pinched.
At that moment, lightning tore through the clouds and thunder roared. The air was filled with damp moisture.
It's really going to rain.
The soles of everyone's feet seemed to have roots, no one moved, and their eyes stared at Pei Shen's envoy who was dancing the peachwood sword on the stage for a moment.
At this moment, she is an all-powerful God-man in their eyes.
Lightning bolts streaked across the cloudy sky one after another.
Boom, boom, boom thunder is endless.
Lu Jing's face tightened, and the fingers under the sleeves of his robe suddenly stopped.
"It's ......"
"Shenglongmen." Lu Lang whispered.
Lu Jing's eyes were full of horror, "How is it possible? ”
"How is that possible?" Shang was muttering in a low voice.
Taoism is not sloppy in choosing apprentices. In his life, there is only one disciple. If you have to meet the materials that can be made, and the master is superb, you can do it for the apprentice, so as to achieve the goal of entering the realm and ascending. However, the loss of Master's true element is extremely great.
"She claims to be a disciple of Nangong Mo, can she say that she also recognized other masters?" Lu Jing's eyes were bloodshot, "Is there such a powerful character in the capital?" ”
He looked at Lu Lang.
I saw Lu Lang's lips squirming.
He said, "Yes, Shengyang." ”
