Mama Zhang said while walking into the Baopu Courtyard: "This is the second time of the rain, the east wind thaws and turns into rain, why hasn't it rained this year?" The girl doesn't know, the evil in the capital is rumored, saying that the dragon king is newly married to his aunt, so he forgot about the rain, and the daughter who got married this year must buy red silk and satin to make a tent when she returns to her mother's house! ”

Xue Ke took two sips of tea and said with a smile: "This is probably the news from the Silk Village." ”

Mama Zhang couldn't laugh at it: "Girl, you said that this married daughter will buy it, what's the matter with those people in Furong Garden, I just heard from the housekeeper Lu, and I am also clamoring to make a red tent, I really don't know how thick the sky is, and this big red dare to use it!" Didn't you just embroider a purse to make a sock on the prince's birthday two days ago, and was favored by the prince once or twice? ”

Xue Ke laughingly persuaded Mama Zhang: "Anyway, there is no hostess in this East Palace, so they can use it if they like." ”

Looking at Mama Zhang's angry face, Xue Ke coaxed: "Why don't we make one too?" Maybe as soon as the new aunt of the Dragon King was happy, she remembered to remind the Dragon Lord of the rain? ”

Mama Zhang also smiled: "What the girl said is, let's do it too!" In the end, it is to ward off evil spirits! I heard that Zhang Tianshi is going to pray for rain for the saint for 7749 days! I heard that this Zhang Tianshi has met the Holy Ancestor Emperor, God, he is more than two hundred years old! ”

Xue Ke stood up and walked to the door, the sun in the courtyard was just right, and there was not a trace of wind, and he smiled and said: "Heavenly Master's method, it must be effective." ”

Twelve and a half miles south of the Forbidden City, Rab set up an altar. Compared with other sacrifices, the ritual of the pheasant sacrifice is less solemn and more lively, and it does not require the big girl and the little lady to avoid it. Because according to legend, the dragon king likes lively and good-looking women.

Because it is the capital, although there is a lack of rain in the season, there is not much work in the end, everyone is to see the lively more, and it is the Taoist priests who are looking forward to the rain.

Zhang Tianshi saw Situ Liang in the crowd at a glance and sighed.

He didn't know whether he had offended Lord Factory Guard or that the Holy Lord had another imperial order, but this Lord Situ had been following him all the time, and he didn't speak, but his eyes didn't leave him.

Zhang Tianshi sighed and turned around, avoiding his gaze.

The apprentice on the side ran over and asked him to go up the ladder, and he straightened the crown, supported the little apprentice, and went up the ladder step by step.

The ladder was originally a high platform made of wood, and the portrait of the Water Dragon King was hung on a high fine steel pole above, and only one person was allowed to sit on the platform, and Zhang Tianshi sat down tremblingly.

The three hundred and sixty little Taoist priests in the audience prayed in unison, and Zhang Tianshi looked at his disciples and grandchildren, stared at his eyes, and read the eulogy in his mouth.

Today is the 37th day, and the beginning is still as usual, the spring sun is not scorching, but the shadow of man in the sun does not move.

The crowd was not as lively as it was at the beginning, and a few men were unbuttoning their spring coats and shouting: "Damn, Lao Tzu is going back, begging for rain?" Got a turtle? Before the words could be spoken, a hint of wind suddenly blew.

At first, the crowd didn't react, but when you looked at me and I looked at you to confirm your eyes, the wind blew over, and it was dark clouds in less than half a pillar of incense.

The crowd boiled over.

The Taoist priest became more energetic, and the voice of prayer became louder.

Immediately afterward, the thunder was faint and foggy, and there was a rumbling thunder in the distance, and a few lightning bolts faintly emanated from the dark clouds on the horizon.

Whoever gets a drop of rain on his head starts to exclaim "It's raining!" Then some people knelt on the ground, "The dragon king has appeared!" ”

The thunder is getting closer, and the lightning is getting brighter.

The rain finally fell.

After a burst of surprise, the people were looking for a place to shelter from the rain, and there was a panic.

Suddenly, almost at the same time, a flash of lightning fell from the sky, and a huge thunder seemed to explode in the ears, and everyone was startled, and when they reflected, they suddenly found that Zhang Tianshi on the ladder had fallen.

Everyone was frightened by the sight, only one person jumped out and grabbed the body of the Heavenly Master, Zhang Tianshi was scorched black, and he was actually struck by lightning!

As soon as Situ's hands went soft, Zhang Tianshi's corpse slid down him to the ground, leaving a strong smell of charcoal. Only then did a group of little Taoist priests react and stepped forward to cry bitterly.
