Chapter 198: What is this operation?
The worship table in front of the statue of the goddess was already covered with ashes, and the small incense burner on it was rusty, revealing a smell of decay.
Ji Yu ordered people to open the doors and windows around the temple of the goddess, so that the people around could see clearly.
Today's weather is much better, the spring breeze is light, even the sky can see a trace of blue, there are one or two white clouds, the long-lost sun is gently sprinkled, shining on the body warm, very comfortable.
This kind of weather is extremely rare for Lizhou.
The people surrounded the temple of the goddess, kneeling on the ground, and there was actually a trace of hope in their hearts, if the Son of Heaven could really awaken the goddess of Zhenhe and re-protect the Li River, it would also be a great merit.
They watched with wide eyes, afraid that they would miss something.
In the crowd, two black figures hid in the shadows.
The black-cloaked man held a barbed steel whip and was stiff, "Aunt An, it won't be long before you behave." ”
An Ruan, also dressed in black, stood beside the man, holding a small wooden figure in her hand, on which a strange talisman was drawn in blood.
On the heart of the wooden man, a person's birthday is engraved.
She squeezed the wooden man tightly, nodded, and said a few words everywhere, "Don't worry." ”
……
At this time, His Majesty the Emperor was already standing in front of the statue of the goddess, and ordered the guards around him to wipe the offering table clean, and then serve fresh fruit.
The red fruit is placed on the table of the offering, which is particularly abrupt.
Ji Yu respectfully handed him a stick of incense, and coughed lightly, "Your Majesty, this Zhenhe goddess has protected the Li River for thousands of years, and now that you have come to pray in person, you will definitely move her." ”
The green incense burned, the curling green smoke rose, Ji Quan was almost covered in a layer of mist, he held the green smoke in his hand, and sincerely recited a few words of prayer to the statue of the goddess.
Then he inserted this incense stick into the incense burner of the worship table.
Ji Yu watched from the side, but he was sneering in his heart, Chi Li was completely destroyed many years ago, and even if he received a stick of incense now, he would not be able to live.
Looking at the emperor's sincere appearance, it really seems that he cares about the people.
It is absolutely impossible for an emperor with great talent to pin his hopes on the gods.
Then His Majesty the Emperor performed a lengthy prayer ceremony.
Everyone stared at him directly, never saw him kneel from beginning to end, obviously praying for blessings, but still holding the emperor's shelf, how could he move the goddess if he didn't kneel?
As soon as they thought about it, the originally sunny weather changed their faces, and somehow the wind began to gust, and the blue in the sky was quickly obscured.
"Boom!" In a moment, only a thunderous explosion was heard, and the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and a cloudy wind.
The pouring rain came as soon as it was said, crackling and smashing.
The people fled in panic and immediately looked for a place to escape the torrential rain.
What blessing did this emperor pray for?
How did you summon the rainstorm! The Li River has just burst its embankment, and the entire Lizhou is in the haze of flooding, and now everyone is afraid of the heavy rain, for fear that the water level of the Li River will rise sharply and submerge Lizhou again.
It must have been the emperor's distraction and the anger of the gods that caused such heavy rain!
Ji Yu looked outside, and his heart was slightly shocked, the man in black is really capable, he has such the ability to call the wind and rain, but he is still working for others, and he doesn't know where the master in his mouth is sacred.
His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be stunned when he saw this scene, and he looked at a loss, completely confused.
"Your Majesty, the rain outside is too violent, could it be that the goddess misunderstood Your Majesty's meaning? Your Majesty is not here to ask for rain. ”
Ji Yu stood beside him, and it seemed incredulous.
"What did I do wrong?" Ji Quan stood in place, muttering to himself.
"How could Your Majesty be wrong?" Ji Yu shook his head, "The weather in Lizhou is already changeable, maybe it's just a coincidence of heavy rain, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry." ”
Having said this, Ji Yu had already moved towards the temple, holding his wrist with one hand, ready to summon the giant snake.
The emperor prayed for blessings, not only summoned torrential rain, but also caused the Li River to flood again, which is estimated to be enough for future generations to say for hundreds of years.
"Is that so?" Ji Quan squinted his eyes, hiding a little loss in his eyes.
He just looked at the rainstorm outside, the rainstorm was very strange, it was everywhere just now, but now it seems that it is only centered on the temple, and everything else has stopped.
It was as if a hole had been broken in the top of the temple and water was pouring water down.
The temple was already very dilapidated, and it was almost collapsing after being poured into such a situation.
It's just that it hasn't had time to collapse, but suddenly the rainstorm overhead began to move its position, and it seemed to have its own consciousness, and it actually brushed and pulled in the direction of the Snake King's Mansion.
Everyone was shocked.
What does this mean?
Many people chased after the local heavy rain, only to see that the rain was getting stronger and stronger, like a river in the sky, and in a moment they arrived at the palace of the king of the dragon, and smashed it down.
In the palace of the king of the dragon, Wu Zhen sat cross-legged in the rain drawing formation, and there was a man in the same green clothes as him sitting next to him, but he was much older than Wu Zhen, the two of them closed their eyes tightly, and they were silently chanting words in their mouths.
"Senior Brother Wushi, the rain is coming." It wasn't until the heavy rain fell that Wu Zhen opened his eyes, "We have completed half of the task assigned by His Majesty." ”
The man named Wushi still closed his eyes, "There are monsters rampant in Lizhou City, you and I are the head of the Heavenly Pavilion Pavilion, and we are supposed to focus on the common people in the world, this is our business, even if Your Majesty did not order, you and I will also kill demons." ”
Wushi is very old-fashioned, and he looks like he is thirty-five or sixteen, like an old Taoist priest.
"Yes, yes, yes." Wu Zhen also continued to recite the rain mantra and no longer be distracted.
……
In the temple of the goddess, this time it was Ji Yu's turn to be confused.
What is the operation of the man in black? Why did he flood his palace with heavy rain?
"King Snake, what did you do to provoke the anger of the goddess and want to drown your house?" At this moment, Ji Quan put his hands behind his back, staring at him with a pair of phoenix eyes, and the emperor's face was extremely cold.
Ji Yu was stared at for a while, and he subconsciously took a step back, "No, something must have gone wrong." ”
"Boom!" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard another lightning and thunder in the sky, and the dazzling lightning illuminated the statue of the goddess.
Ji Yu just looked over, and at this glance, he saw the goddess statue smiling strangely at him.
Ji Yu's heart suddenly trembled, impossible, impossible...... Chi Li has long been dead, she has long been dead!
Who's pretending?
He glanced around, except for Ji Quan and a few of his entourage, there were those people outside who didn't know the truth.
Everyone was still hostile to the emperor, but now they were staring at the king one by one.
