287 Snatching rain from the sky

Luo Xiaoqiao looked up at the east and could already see the red sun, "Let's go." ”

The silver iodide was carefully wrapped in a small paper wrapper, and Zuo Mulin did not let anyone touch it, and personally placed it on the table outside the courtyard.

Hearing that it was going to be sunburned, the disciples were afraid of any impact, and had already emptied everything that might produce shadows.

Luo Xiaoqiao looked at them as if they were facing a great enemy, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but I hope it really is, otherwise these people should be disappointed.

Hundreds of pairs of eyes, staring at this little residue all the time.

"Why hasn't it changed color yet?"

"Wait, don't worry", some disciples wiped the sweat from their foreheads, comforting others and themselves.

"The sun is out, what's going on?" The anxious disciple scratched his heart and lungs, staring at one place all the time, and his eyes were almost gone.

"Look, look, it's changed, it's really changed!" Zuo Mulin didn't care about the demeanor of his senior brother, and jumped up all of a sudden.

That little bit of yellow sediment, as the sunlight skewed, slowly turned into a greenish gray-black.

"Girl, say it quickly, say it quickly, don't you? Is it or not? Countless pairs of eyes stared at Luo Xiaoqiao in embarrassment.

Luo Xiaoqiao nodded with a smile: "It should be." ”

Yes, there are many substances that can turn black in the sun, but the only materials they use can only be silver iodide. Moreover, whether it is from the color or from the physical change, it is in line with the characteristics of silver iodide.

"Great!"

When Cai Yuxuan walked into the courtyard again, the courtyard was steaming.

"What? Is it done? Cai Yuxuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"The silver iodide has been extracted, but the rest of the time, we have to make special shells, this, it depends on Grandpa Wang and them", Luo Xiaoqiao looked at the people who were immersed in research over there, and smiled again.

Luo Xiaoqiao only told them that they needed to use cannonballs to carry silver iodide up, and then let the cannonballs explode in the clouds, and burn the silver iodide in the cannonballs into smoke and scatter them in the clouds, and they said they understood.

……

There was already a sea of people in front of King Jing's Mansion, and even the streets on that side were full of people, all kneeling people.

So many people, with extremely complicated feelings and guilt on their faces, still firmly asked King Jing to write an edict of guilt and beg for rain again.

"The prince has found the master, and is preparing a sacrifice to the heavens, and it will rain soon." Feng Bosong stood at the door, stabilizing people's hearts.

"It's been almost a few days, and if it drags on any longer, the crops will die, even if it rains, what's the use!"

Someone in the crowd was muttering quietly, but the gate of King Jing's Mansion was always closed, and no one entered or exited.

Shangguan Jiao sat on the chair of the inn, looking from a distance from the window, slowly sipping tea with a bit of pride.

"It can be delayed for a day, and let him go, the longer this matter drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for him." He said with squinted eyes.

"Lord Wang, there are more and more people outside." Qin Yan walked in with a bit of solemnity and said.

"Hmm", the old god Mu Jingyi is here, and he is not flustered.

……

"It's time to deliver the offerings, it's raining today!" Luo Xiaoqiao's clear voice resounded through the road.

"It's raining today!"

"It's raining today!"

Wujiawei's voice also shouted, bringing an indescribable momentum.

"What?!"

What kind of rain is it? Don't you see the sun hanging in the sky? There are clouds and there are clouds, and there were no clouds before, and there was no rain, where did they come from?

"King Jing has gone to deliver the sacrifices, and he has gone home to wait, it will rain before evening!"

Feng Bosong finally breathed a sigh of relief and spoke confidently.

Shangguan Jiao suddenly couldn't sit still, "Marquis Feng, don't fool the people in order to delay time!" ”

"Ben Hou never speaks!" Feng Bosong straightened his chest, and his old face was full of majesty.

"Let's all go home and wait for a day, if it doesn't rain in the evening, you can come back again!"

"Really...... Are you sure? ”

"Why are the people of Jingwangfu so sure it will rain?"

"Didn't you say that you were sending sacrifices? I'm sure I've found a master, so let's go home and wait! ”

"Let's go, I can't wait for anyone here, it's better to go back and wait for a day."

When it comes to controlling public opinion and fanning people's hearts, how could Shangguan Jiao play too much with Mu Jingyi, and when he gave such a handle and such a precise answer.

If it doesn't rain today, you'll know in a while, and if it doesn't rain then, you can come again.

The people got up one after another, went home and waited.

Following Luo Xiaoqiao's arrangement, he chose a sparsely populated place, and for fear that the artillery could not be fired continuously, he had already transported all the only more than ten units.

The cannonballs were personally handled by the old man Wang, and they prepared a lot of them, even if there were dumb fires, they would have time to remedy them.

"Put!"

"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom ......" more than a dozen artillery pieces fired at the same time.

The amount of silver iodide didn't need to be too much, especially if it wasn't enough, Luo Xiaoqiao counted the quantity, let them each release two shells, and then stopped.

"Girl, what's next?"

Everyone in the Heavenly Machine Pavilion followed, not only did they want to see such an ungodly thing with their own eyes, but also to solve the emergency.

"Wait."

In modern times, it rains about an hour after the cannon is fired, but in such an environment, she is not very sure.

"Girl...... Does it really work? Zuo Mulin looked at the sky and was still shining, very worried.

They have all said a lot, if it really can't rain today, what is the reputation of Jingwangfu?

"Don't worry, I never joke with my reputation!" Luo Xiaoqiao looked at the missing moment, a quarter of an hour.

"Wait another quarter of an hour, it should be almost", Luo Xiaoqiao's voice just fell.

The wind picked up, and the clouds began to increase.

Zuo Mulin's face suddenly swelled with excitement, "Master, look there, do you see that there are more clouds on the other side of the mountain?" ”

He rubbed his eyes, afraid that it was his own delusion.

"Senior Brother Zuo, you're not wrong, it's going to be too much, and it's windy, do you feel it?"

"It's broken!" Luo Xiaoqiao looked left and right and felt that something was wrong.

"Girl, what's wrong?" Everyone's hearts sank, can't it rain?

"Did you bring your robes? This place is so empty, it's going to get wet in a while, and it's time for the wind to get cold. ”

When Old Man Wang heard what she said about this, he immediately cried and laughed, and pointed at her with his finger: "You girl, it's really raining, what are you afraid of if you have a little wind and cold?" ”

"No, no, no, let's put up a shelter from the rain first!" Luo Xiaoqiao said while opening Luo.

The disciples were apprehensive in the process of waiting, and it was naturally excellent to be able to have something to do and distract themselves, so they all followed her to work.

A quarter of an hour!

Sure enough, after only a quarter of an hour, it began to get dark.

"It's cloudy! Lord Wang, it's really cloudy! Wei Yuanzhi excitedly circled back and forth.

Before he could say the next word, "pop", the raindrops the size of beans fell, falling on everyone's faces.

But no one cursed, no one complained, their eyes were full of excitement!

Several men rushed out from under the tents, shouting in the rain with their arms outstretched.

"It's raining! It's really raining! ”

"Grab the rain from the sky!"

"We're really taking the rain from the sky!"

Xingcheng, Chuncheng, Liaocheng...... The surrounding castles began to be cloudy and drizzled.

The common people also rushed out of their homes and ran to their fields, looking at the crops that were about to turn yellow, and couldn't help but kneel on the ground: "It's raining!" Thank God! ”
