Chapter 108: Wind and Rain
There were unforeseen storms and clouds in the sky, dark clouds were everywhere, and Lei Shen was intertwined, but after half an hour, the downpour poured down from the sky. What a heavy rain!
Even in the heat of summer, it is rare for such a large amount of rain to occur, and it is surprising that it is happening in this cold season.
The carriage galloped, Ma Liu did not wear a robe, and was almost drenched into a soup chicken, but he was experienced and controlled the carriage properly, and Chen Jianchen had already avoided the carriage.
Listening to the sound of the rain drops hitting the roof of the carriage, it was like rain hitting plantains, densely packed into a large area. Chen Jianchen's face was solemn, although he knew that it was not impossible to thunder and rain in winter, but the current rain came very strangely, so he had to wake up. Jiaona sat on the other side, looking a little strange, not knowing what she was thinking.
Xiao Ju asked on the side: "Sir, you are very knowledgeable, then why is it thundering and raining today?"
Chen Jianchen was dumbfounded, this little girl asked innocently, even if he was knowledgeable, he didn't know why it rained. He is not a dragon king, nor is he a god in the sky, so he quipped: "It is said that the rain at four o'clock is in charge of the dragon king, Xiao Ju should go to the dragon king temple and ask the dragon king why it is raining so heavily today." Jiao Na said, "Where is there a dragon king in this world?"
Xiao Ju asked: "Sister Xiaolu, how can there be no dragon king in the world, otherwise, where would there be so many dragon king temples?" Jiao Na snorted: "You don't understand either." ”
Chen Jianchen's heart moved, and he asked, "Sister Huangfu Xiaolu, you said that there are no dragons in this world?"
Jiao Na replied: "Daddy said that there are dragons in the world, but dragons are dragons, and dragon kings are dragon kings, and the two are not the same thing. It is said that the dragon clan can soar through the clouds and fog and call the wind and rain, but it is different from the dragon god in charge of wind and rain in folklore. ”
Although she is not good at reading, she has been with her father for many years, but she has heard many secret things.
Chen Jianchen asked: "What does the emperor say about the dragon9" Jiao Na shook her head and said, "Daddy didn't say it, I guess he hasn't seen it either." ”
This should be the truth, although the emperor is an old fox who has been cultivating for hundreds of years and has seen countless things, but it is really hard to say whether he has seen a real dragon, and I believe that many of them are also rumors. However, from Jiao Na's words just now, Chen Jianchen could infer many things at a deeper level......
The so-called gods are simply the thoughts of the people and the people who bow down and worship them, and the land and city gods are needless to say, and the ghosts sent by the Yin Division are directly responsible. For example, all kinds of legends about the gods and goddesses are just the deeds of monks who have cultivated to the highest level. Mortals are rare and strange, and they don't understand why, so they worship them as gods.
And even if the dragon exists, it also belongs to the demon category, the natural body is strong, the life is long, and it can call the wind and rain, so it will naturally be called "the dragon king" by the people, so the dragon king temples bloom everywhere, and every time there is a drought, they will worship the three animals and ask the dragon lord to rain.
However, no matter how devout they were and how rich their rituals were, it was doubtful that a real dragon would be able to hear it, and even more doubtful if they did, whether they would use their magic power to rain down and save the emergency.
Therefore, there are droughts every year, and rain is begged every year, but there are few rains in time. Even if it comes down, it is estimated that it will be more appropriate. If it doesn't rain, some of the gods will put all the blame on the rain seekers, saying that they are not sincere. A good sentence of "insincerity" is enough to kill all doubts in an instant, and it is comparable to the word "unwarranted".
The car began to bumper, Chen Jianchen sat steadily, thinking in all directions, integrating his considerations for the world little by little, trying to come up with a complete world view, so as to get a clear understanding.
"Sister Xiaolu, sir, I'm home. ”
I don't know how long it took, and the carriage finally stopped outside the gate of Huzhuang. Immediately, a servant came out with an oil-paper umbrella to greet Jiaona, and they entered.
"Daddy. Jiaona asked as soon as she got out of the car.
The servant Ah Fu replied respectfully: "The master went out at noon, saying that he would not come back today." Jiaona sighed.
Ah Fu said again: "The master is really a god, when he went out, he said to the villain that it might rain this evening, and told us to close the windows, I still don't believe it, but it turned out to be thunder and rain or something, and it was all fulfilled at once." ”
"What?" said Daddy, who was nervous on the other side of her, said that there would be thunder and rain today, could it be that he stirred up the rain?
Thinking of a certain possibility, her heart suddenly tightened, and she turned around and was about to rush out.
Chen Jianchen's eyes were quick, he grabbed her, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Huangfu Xiaolu, it's stormy outside, where are you going?" Jiao Na said: "I'm going to find Daddy." ”
Chen Jianchen shouted: "You forgot about today's incident so quickly?"
Chen Jianchen said: "The old man doesn't know where he is at the moment, and he doesn't know what to do, where can you go to find someone?" In fact, hearing Ah Fu's words, he also faintly felt that the words of the emperor were very meaningful. However, the current situation is unclear and no further inference can be made.
Thinking of the situation when he went out today, Chen Jianchen dared to conclude that the emperor wanted his daughter to follow him out to Suzhou and break Jiao Na away, so that he could do something that might be dangerous alone.
So Jiao Na wants to go out now, and of course Chen Jianchen has to stop it.
"Lovely ......" Jiaona was still a little anxious.
Chen Jianchen said in a deep voice: "If you encounter chaos in the event of trouble, you will suffer from it." Sister Huangfu Xiaolu, don't you believe that your father will be safe and sound?"
After a pause, he added: "Since the old man knows that there will be thunder and rain today, then he will definitely be well prepared. Jiao Na pondered for a long time, and finally followed Chen Jianchen's advice and stayed in the village.
Chen Jianchen returned to the east chamber and did not enter the room, but stood on the shelter with his hands in his hands, looking up. The rain curtain was like a cloth, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but he knew in his heart that in the direction he was looking, there was a mountain range standing tall...... Dongshan Nanling.
The heavy rain was raging, the world was vast, but in the midst of the rain curtain, the dawn monk was appearing, only to see him dressed white, stepping on a three-foot long board under his feet, letting the ground be muddy, but not stained with the slightest dirt, floating out of the dust, it became a miracle. Holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, no matter how much rain falls, it is blocked by an invisible force a few inches away from the umbrella surface, scattered in all directions, and is not at all forced;
"I come to the wind and rain, cross all living beings in a boat, let the dragon and snake dance, and the real body will be eternal......"
The three-foot plank is used as a boat, and the clouds and water drift away, as if it is not on the ground...... The direction he went was Dongshan Nanling.
