Chapter 122: Open the altar and ask for rain

Immediately afterwards, water sources were found in the deep mountains of the seven or eight villages nearby, but fortunately, Ruan Jiaqing's point balance was enough, otherwise he would not have been able to exchange so many water pipes.

The problem of water has basically been solved, and the refugees are no longer fleeing in all directions, and they are no longer rushing towards Jiancheng, and it seems that the wind and waves should be calm.

It's just that at this time, the earth still needs to be moistened by a rain, but it is people's hearts that need to be moistened even more.

As a result of this drought, many people have lost loved ones, and some have been uprooted from their homes, and they may not be able to bear it if such a disaster happens again.

It is even rumored that this is the punishment of the heavens for the construction of the city, because they do not respect the gods, so the heavens will treat them like this, and there has not been a drop of rain for months.

King Jin's trip to disaster relief this time, although it solved the drought, but it was not comforting. While he was racking his brains to find a way, there was unfortunate news that many people in Jiancheng were suffering from thirst and needed to drink water every day, at first it was only a slight thirst, and then it became more and more serious, and even worse, his mind was no longer clear, and he muttered that this was God's punishment.

Qingfeng had gone to heal, but he found that something was wrong, it was not as simple as thirst, but as if he had been poisoned.

It's just that people are panicking now, and even if they are cured of thirst, everyone will still be uneasy.

The Dog Emperor stumbled on King Jin all the way, and secretly, I don't know how many people were staring at King Jin's every move, thinking of waiting for an opportunity to act and give him a fatal blow.

"Qingfeng, can this poison be cured?" King Jin narrowed his eyes, and his gestures revealed a natural domineering.

"This poison is easy to solve, and the subordinates will also put a few flavors of medicine in the water source, and everyone can drink the water soaked in the herbs to prevent poisoning." Qingfeng said slowly, and as he spoke, he had already prescribed medicine.

With the prevention of water sources, fewer and fewer people suffer from thirst, and the problem seems to be about to be solved, but suddenly more than a dozen people died overnight, and the people instantly panicked again.

"God, this is to take revenge on us for building a city, what can we do?"

"This is God's punishment, God will kill us......"

"I beg God to be merciful, and we will continue to believe in the gods every day, and we will not slack off......"

The entire people who built the city, whether they were old or children, sick or healthy, all knelt on the street, kneeling and worshipping, and their mouths were full of words, praying for God's blessing and keeping the disaster away from the city.

The people were quite superstitious, and after the drought and the death of someone from thirst, they were terrified that one day their life would be lost.

"It's really hard to prevent, that dog emperor's tricks are too shady, he actually makes such a joke with human life, it's simply not human!" Chengdong said indignantly.

Along the way, no matter what happened, the King of Jin solved them one by one, and the Dog Emperor just didn't want the prince to return to Beijing smoothly, so he tried to obstruct it again and again.

"Then the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it." Ruan Jiaqing's eyes were as clear as crystals immersed in water, but the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, and she looked charming.

"It is imperative that the fear of the people be lifted from their hearts and that they will think that the gods have forgiven them and will no longer punish them." King Jin's face was full of angular coldness, and he followed Ruan Jiaqing's words slowly.

"So how?" Chengxi asked suspiciously.

"Please rain when you open the altar!" Ruan Jiaqing hooked her lips and smiled faintly.

"But who knows when it will rain this day, and what if it doesn't?" Chengdong's eyes crossed with worry.

In fact, King Jin watched the sky at night last night and had already guessed that there would be a rainstorm coming in the near future. Ruan Jiaqing's thoughts coincided with him.

"Chengxi, you and Qingfeng are responsible for the safety of the people, and you must not let anyone die in vain." King Jin commanded, with a cold look in his eyes.

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Seung-seo responded.

"Chengdong, you go and prepare the objects for the opening of the altar, the more solemn the better, and the people must believe it." King Jin looked at Chengdong and gave another order.

Chengdong nodded and immediately went to buy it.

Chengxi also arranged for soldiers to step up patrols to protect the safety of the entire people of the city.

After everyone went to work on their own things, Ruan Jiaqing asked, "Xiao Yu, you already knew that there would be rain these days, right?" ”

King Jin tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly, his thick eyebrows, tall nose, and beautiful lips were all showing nobility and elegance. He replied: "This king has only learned some fur and watched the stars at night, and probably expected that it would rain soon. Why, the princess also stargazes? ”

Ruan Jiaqing helped her forehead, where would she be, she just wanted to make a little trick. Even if it doesn't rain, she will make an artificial rain out, and there are many rain artifacts in the mall.

"I won't, but I believe that if you ask sincerely, you will definitely move God." Ruan Jiaqing smiled gently.

The altar was built quickly, and there is still a decent one.

The people spread the word of mouth, knowing that the king of Jin and the princess were going to open the altar and kneel down to ask the gods and ask the thunder god to give rain.

After everyone found out, they rushed to watch.

On this day, the autumn breeze was cool and the sky was cloudless, as in normal days, dull, somewhat gloomy, and completely devoid of life.

On the altar, there were offerings, and the prince and the princess knelt under the altar and begged sincerely.

Seeing the prince and the princess thinking so much about them, the people were really moved. If they could really ask for a rain, then their calamity would be lifted.

The number of onlookers grew, and almost the entire city gathered here.

Some have a lively mentality, and some hearts silently pray in their hearts that this rain prayer can be successful.

Suddenly, the sky gradually changed, and the sky gradually turned into a black oppressive patch, and huge dark clouds hit, and the wind blew and the leaves fell, which was the prelude to the arrival of heavy rain.

Then there was a loud thunderclap and lightning bolts.

The people were overjoyed, and they fell to their knees one after another, praying for rain with the princess of Jin.

King Jin raised his eyes and glanced at the sky, he didn't guarantee that the rain would definitely fall, but the probability of it would rain was still very high, he just wanted to gamble.

There was thunder and lightning for more than half an hour, and the wind became stronger and stronger, and it looked like a heavy rain was coming, but the rain just didn't fall.

The people knelt on the ground reverently, praying for rain from the flowers, but they waited and waited, and not only did not there be a drop of rain, but the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and even the thunder and lightning were gone.

What's going on?

Everyone was very puzzled and their hearts were full of uneasiness. Could it be that they were not sincere enough to move the heavens?

"God, please, it's raining, we need water......"

"God is merciful, have mercy on us, in the future, we will worship the gods every day, and we dare not neglect it......"

Many people are crying, they have experienced the despair of not having a water source, and they have lost many relatives and friends, if it does not rain, what will they do, how will they continue to grow crops in the coming year, how will they continue to survive?

"It doesn't seem like it's going to rain." Ruan Jiaqing glanced at the sky, now that it was cloudy and sunny, it was really a joke on this day, only thunder and no rain.

Seeing the people becoming more and more panicked, the worry in the heart of King Jin became even stronger, if the altar was opened today to ask for rain, I don't know how panicked the people were.

He took Ruan Jiaqing with him and kowtowed a few times to the altar, although he didn't believe in any ghosts and gods, he still had to do what he should do, even if it was just to comfort the hearts of the people.

Fortunately, Ruan Jia was prepared early in the morning, she had already handed over the rain artifact to Chengdong and Chengxi, and with their light skills, the rain distributor was placed at the tall tree pole, as long as the engine was turned off, the water source that had been prepared could be sprayed out to form artificial rainfall.

Just when everyone felt hopeless, suddenly, small raindrops fell. Cool sprinkled on people's faces, bodies.

"Rain, it's raining......"

"yes, it's really raining, oh my God!"

The people kowtowed one after another, moved to tears. After several months, it finally rained, and they saw hope and light.

God has finally forgiven them and will no longer punish them, so they will soon return to their original peaceful and happy life, and there will be no more drought in the city.

At first, it was just small raindrops, but slowly the rain became heavier and fell like a cascading waterfall.

Everyone stood in the rain, receiving the rain washing, they cheered in the rain, shouted excitedly, some people even drank the rain directly, and even more, they took out the pots and pans at home to catch the rain, and said that the rain was nectar, and they would be able to drink it in the future, and they would be healthy and safe.

The rain lasted for about an hour before it gradually stopped.

Everyone had enough trouble in the rain, and finally quieted down, and everyone had a smile on their faces, which was even happier than picking up money.

"It was the sincerity of the prince and the princess that moved the heavens, that's why it rained......"

"Yes, yes, it's the credit of the prince and the princess, they are really good people in the world......"

Everyone said this again, they believed that it must be because of the kneeling and begging of the prince and the princess that this rain would come smoothly.

So everyone knelt down and bowed down one after another to thank King Jin and the princess. Now the king and princess of Jin are also like gods in their eyes, if they didn't come to build the city, I'm afraid this place would have become a dead city, where would there be such a face today.

It was the King of Jin and the princess who gave them a new life, and they were their great benefactors.

Bu Yu succeeded, Ruan Jiaqing finally smiled, and the development of things was a little unexpected for her, she didn't expect everyone to worship the prince so much now.

"Everyone, get up, don't need to thank King Xieben. It has rained today, which means that the gods no longer blame the construction of the castle, and everyone can rest assured in the future. "King Jin is high up, staring at everyone, exuding a majestic temperament like a king.

After the baptism of rain, the whole city has become completely new. The mood of the people is also exceptionally good.

King Jin looked at Ruan Jiaqing beside him, her face had a pure smile like a baby, and she was particularly beautiful and moving when her clothes were soaked by the rain.

He knew that she must have helped again.

I'm afraid it won't rain until a few days before it falls.
