Chapter 9 Calling for Wind and Rain
"Real person, this is Mr. Kong Yingda, he..."
Li Shimin whispered in Chen Jienan's ear, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Jienan.
"Well, Kong Yingda, I know!"
Although Chen Jienan does not study history, after all, Kong Yingda, as a Zhenguan celebrity, often appears in movies, TV series and novels, and Chen Jienan naturally does not know him.
"Praying for rain, it's just a trivial matter!"
Chen Jienan shook his head calmly, waved his hand and instructed Li Shimin: "I also hope that Your Majesty will inform the people of Chang'an City, and say that I will go to the city tower to pray for rain later, and anyone who wants to watch can come!"
Chen Jienan, who had already redeemed the high-level rain prayer technique, said that it was just a matter of praying for rain, and it was just a trivial matter! However, he used it casually, although these people in the imperial court can also bring him a lot of collapse points, but how can it compare to the hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an to bring more collapse points? If we want to do it, we have to make it bigger!
"Okay, no problem!" Li Shimin was naturally very convinced of Chen Jienan, and immediately sent soldiers to Chang'an to issue a notice, and then asked: "I don't know what else the real person wants me to prepare, what sacrifices do I need, what rituals?"
"You don't need to prepare anything!" Chen Jienan smiled, "Where is the need to sacrifice to the sky? With the snap of my fingers, I can command the wind and thunder, call the clouds and call the rain!"
Commanding the wind and thunder at the snap of your fingers, calling for clouds and rain?
Everyone was horrified.
As we all know, the so-called prayer for rain is to sacrifice to the gods in the sky through sacrifices, and sincerely pray, if the heavens are moved, this will rain nectar.
And what did the man in front of him say?
Commanding the wind and thunder at the snap of your fingers, calling for clouds and rain?
Does he really think he was a natural immortal?
No, even the heavenly immortals can't do this! After all, the status of the legendary Lei Gong Electric Mother Feng Boyu Master is also quite high, and even among the immortals, only those with extremely high status can be sent.
"Huh!"
The comparison between a pair of Confucian ministers headed by Kong Yingda is not believed in at all, not to mention that their Confucianism has always paid attention to the strange power of the gods, and with their status and status, they naturally know that there are no ghosts and gods in time, even if those so-called half-immortal masters are just some tricks.
Not only these civil servants, but also the generals on the side sneered at each other, they marched and fought, killing more people than many people have seen in their lifetimes, and it is impossible to believe these gods and gods.
All in all, at this moment, in the court, except for a few who went to visit Chen Jienan with Li Shimin yesterday, no one else believed it.
"Heh, calling for clouds and rain, commanding the wind and thunder, is it true that you think you are a god?"
"Now the cowhide is blowing so much, when I pray for rain later, if I can't pray for rain, it will be beautiful. ”
Everyone talked about it, and no one was optimistic about Chen Jienan, but Chen Jienan didn't care at all.
"Everyone, please follow me to the Chang'an City Tower and watch me pray for rain!"
Chen Jienan didn't bother to argue, so he walked directly to Chang'an City Tower with Li Shimin, and hundreds of civil and military officials also followed him, wanting to see Chen Jienan make a fool of himself.
When I arrived at the city tower, there were already hundreds of thousands of people below.
After all, this drought swept through most of the Tang Dynasty and was protracted, so it was naturally something that the people of the world paid close attention to, and just now the government announced the whole city with great fanfare, saying that the newly canonized national teacher was coming to pray for rain, which immediately attracted many people.
Looking at the crowd below, Chen Jienan was also a little nervous in his heart, but it was only a little nervous, after all, he was really a person with immortal arts, and he was not afraid that he would not be able to get rain for a while!
"Ah, why is this new national teacher so young? It looks like he's not even twenty years old!"
"There have been many masters who have opened the altar to pray for rain before, but the rain still hasn't fallen, can this guy do it?"
"It should be possible, after all, this is a newly canonized national teacher, and he must have some ability!"
The people below will be skeptical, and they don't trust Chen Jienan very much, of course, there are some people who called for heavy rain when they saw Chen Jienan unveiling the emperor list last time, but after all, they are a minority, drowning in hundreds of thousands of people, and they can't speak at all.
Compared with the people of the Tang Dynasty who are skeptical, some people in other countries do scoff at this.
Although it is only the early stage of Zhenguan, the momentum of the Tang Dynasty has already faintly shown some signs, and there are many envoys from other countries in the crowd of onlookers below.
"Haha, after the Weishui Alliance, I heard that Li Shimin is working hard, originally I was afraid that the Tang Dynasty would rise and subvert my Turkic rule, it seems that I don't have to worry anymore!"
A Turkic couldn't help but laugh when he saw Li Shimin's respectful appearance to Chen Jienan, a young Taoist priest, on the city tower.
"I didn't expect the Tang Emperor to be so mediocre and superstitious, it seems that I have to think about whether to send Tang envoys to study again!"
A Japanese man shook his head and sighed, with some disappointment in his eyes.
"Hey, such a mediocre and incompetent emperor, I heard that he still has the idea of attacking our Goguryeo?
A man from the country of sticks had some contempt in his eyes, and his original wariness of Datang was completely relaxed.
Chen Jienan didn't know what was happening in the crowd below, but even if he knew, most of them wouldn't care, and now he was ready to start his performance!
As we all know, the people of the Central Plains have always not believed in any ghosts and gods, and even if there are many people who worship Buddhism and Taoism, they only have the mentality that they would rather believe in it than believe in it, and they will be suspicious.
Therefore, it is conceivable to wait for the shock that Chen Jienan brought to them by calling for wind and rain! Looking at the hundreds of thousands of people under the black pressure, Chen Jienan can already imagine the collapse point that he can get in a while!
"Xuanyang Zhenren, please hurry!"
Seeing Chen Jienan's fearless appearance, Kong Yingda was also a little unsure at this time, and he didn't know whether Chen Jienan really had the ability to call the wind and rain or pretended, and after hesitating, he couldn't help but start urging.
Chen Jienan didn't say a word, glanced at Kong Yingda lightly, then walked forward quickly and waved to the sky.
"Come to the clouds!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone noticed that the sky that was cloudless before suddenly rolled with clouds, and in an instant, it was full of dark clouds!
"Why did the sky get dark all of a sudden?!"
"Ahh
"Hey! The national teacher can really call the wind and rain?!"
At this moment, the hundreds of thousands of people under the city tower were all frightened! They all saw it just now, Chen Jienan just waved to the sky and shouted a word of clouds, and the result was really turbulent in an instant!
"Could it be that the national teacher is really an immortal?!"
