Section 6 Opening the altar to worship the heavens

The ancients were more reverent of gods and ghosts, although I borrowed a fairy child to eradicate bandits, but there was no intention to deceive the people!

But people's understanding of me has been deified because of this, and they always think that I am really a fairy sent down from heaven by the gods, especially Ma Zhutou and a few of them who have seen me cast spells with their own eyes, and they believe in me even more, and everyone will mention the experience of suppressing bandits that day.

Later, I bought a temporary residence in Fangling, a simple house in the slum north of the city, which I bought for only one gold coin.

Hearing this, more and more people came from all over the country to visit me, the city was very lively, and there were even famous nobles from the Xiongnu realm, of course, they were also our Chinese people, but they chose to live under the rule of the Huns.

One of them is from Wancheng, this person's name is Li Chengzu, and he is the county guard of Wancheng!

Outside the mountain on the east side of Fangling is the boundary of Xiangfan in Hubei, and on the north side of Xiangfan is Nanyang in Henan, and the plains outside the mountain belong to the boundary of the Xiongnu, and Hubei and Henan have been ruled by the Xiongnu for more than ten years at this time.

Ancient Nanyang City is the historical Wancheng, the Huns stationed more than 100,000 troops in Wancheng all the year round, and the purpose of this army stationed here is naturally to prevent the Yongguo on the west from launching a surprise attack!

But the irony is that the soldiers of this army are all descendants of Great Qin, and the supreme commander of the army, Li Chengzu, the commander of Nanyang County, is also a descendant of Great Qin, and what is even funnier is that he is also a descendant of Li Si!

I don't know what kind of kinship the old man living in seclusion in the valley is with him, but I understand that they are separated from each other and born by their own masters!

Li Chengzu was born as a military general, and he was good at arranging troops, and his Li family had a high prestige among the descendants of Great Qin, so he was appreciated by Da Shan Yu of the Xiongnu Empire and became one of the few Xiongnu Qin generals. After that, Li Chengzu performed very well on the battlefield, and in the end, he even sat on the Nanyang County Guard, and had his own world in Wancheng.

Li Chengzu traveled hundreds of miles over the mountains and rivers, and because he wanted to enter the territory of Yongguo, he only took two entourages with him to go secretly, and the purpose was just to ask me for directions!

I don't know when my fame spread so far, and I can also introduce the county guard of Wancheng into Fangling to come to me to see and ask for directions, probably I really thought I was a fairy, so I went to the palace with all my might.

When I first saw him, I knew that he was not an ordinary person, and the two attendants were very vigilant and obviously very capable assistants, and they were not ordinary people.

I knew it was a big man, so I led him to the back room and sat down and talked to him alone.

Li Chengzu was more modest, he smiled and saluted me, then knelt down at the table and said to me: "I heard that there is a fairy child in Fangling, and I can easily solve the mountain bandits in Fangling with a snap of my fingers! I came to meet the fairy child, but I didn't expect you to be a child, I think you do have extraordinary skills!"

Li Chengzu's words are all polite empty words, I know that he must have a lot of doubts about me, probably just testing me!

I smiled and said, "The noble man came from the northeast side, the distance is far and the journey is hard, I am deeply honored to have such a distinguished guest come to visit!"

Li Chengzu smiled slightly after hearing this, and then he asked with interest: "Since Your Excellency knows where I came from, why don't you tell me who I am?"

I nodded, asked him for the eight characters of his birthday, and then looked at his facial features and complexion, and then I replied slowly: "The noble man is the lord of a county, leading 100,000 soldiers, and he is also my famous minister of Great Qin!

Li Chengzu was shocked when he heard this, he looked around and saw that there was no one else in the back hall, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Could it be that Xiantong already knew me before?"

I shook my head and smiled: "No! I came to Yongzhou after entering the world, and I have never left the boundary of Yongzhou, so how can I already know the nobleman's words?"

Li Chengzu nodded slightly, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and then asked: "Immortal Venerable has good mana, and he calculates accurately, word for word! It's just that I am not a person from a mediocre country, and I hope that Immortal Venerable can hide this identity for me, so as not to let others know, so as not to cause trouble!"

I nodded slightly, reached out and poured him a cup of tea, and then said very calmly: "I don't know if you have any doubts, you might as well say it!"

Li Chengzu frowned and looked at me, hesitated for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Hehe, Immortal Venerable is really an immortal?"

I think Li Chengzu is also a person who has seen the world, and he may not fully believe in this kind of ghost and god theory, so there is no need for me to brag too much about him! So I replied with a smile: "The world has profound magic power, and everyone respects me as a fairy child! It is not surprising that one person is so so, and it is especially doubtful that a hundred people are so so, but then ten thousand people are like this, and we are not immortals but also become immortals!"

When I said this, it was obvious to him that I was not an immortal, but that I did cast some spells. This Li Chengzu laughed out loud after hearing this, and seemed to be very satisfied with my answer, and bowed to me again and again to show respect!

He is a very cautious person, and I guess he will not easily believe these rumors until he sees it with his own eyes, and he will not believe my words!

I continued to say to him: "The noble man is lucky, my house has little rain this month, and the village in the middle of the ground is short of water and little rain! It just so happens that I am going to go to the altar in the afternoon to practice and pray for rain, why don't you go with me and witness it with your own eyes?"

Li Chengzu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and saluted again and again and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare to be true when you see it, how dare you question the Immortal Venerable! If you don't dislike it, the villain is willing to go together!"

I smiled slightly after hearing this, this guy obviously questioned me, but he seemed very pious in his words, but he was really cautious and walked very steadily.

I invited him to have lunch with us, and we ate some meat and filled him with a few wines in the restaurant, and then I took him out of the restaurant and came to the altar in Fangling City!

The fat county magistrate has always regarded me as a god, and when he saw the lack of rain in all parts of Fangling, he begged me to cast a spell for Fangling to make some rain! Although I did not openly object to them calling me a fairy child, I could not be flattened by them and expose my flaws, otherwise I would not be able to suppress all the people in this Fangling in the future! Fortunately, I had learned to pray for rain in the sky, and although that time brought a disaster of heavy rain, it was also a success after all! This time I decided to show them another hand, planning to ask for some nectar rain for Fang Lingxiao, this time I was very careful, but I must not bring disaster, otherwise I will be finished!

The altar was built by the county magistrate according to my request, and this is the first time I have opened an altar to worship the heavens in this world!

In order to build this altar, the county government directly demolished the old stable and built a stone platform on the foundation of the stable! On the stone platform, according to my requirements, a large copper tripod for burning incense was placed, and there was a wooden platform in front of the copper tripod! Eight wooden pillars were erected around the stone platform, and the colored cloth strips were hung on them to symbolize the image of gossip, which was a necessary element for sacrificing the heavens and asking for rain!

When they heard that I was going to open an altar in the city, the people were very curious, so they put down their work and rushed to the altar in the city to watch me cast a spell!

In order to maintain order, the county government dispatched all the officials to guard the altar for me, lest they hinder me from casting spells and asking for rain!

Zhang Tie Dan is my bodyguard, he always follows behind me, and he is very busy for me before and after the saddle!

I'm just a ten-year-old child, and I don't have much strength in my arms! The heavy objects to be used when worshipping the heavens, including the bronze sword given to me by the white-haired old man, were all carried by Zhang Tie Dan for me, and I ended up with Li Chengzu very easily.

After visiting all the items on the table, Zhang Tietang walked off the altar and stood with Li Chengzu, watching how I cast spells and begged for rain below!

Before starting to do it, the county magistrate also came to show his face, and he said with a smile: "Lord Xiantong, can you ask for more rain for my Fangling at one time, so that the land will dry up in the future!"

I looked at him and replied coldly, "Your Excellency the county magistrate, do you want to make Fangling the object of heavy rain erosion and plunge this Yongzhou land into a muddy land?"

After hearing this, the county magistrate was shocked and asked timidly: "No, it will become so serious if you ask for more rain?"

I replied slowly, "Rain is a thing of the world, and whether it rains or not should be determined by the sky!"

The county magistrate nodded again and again and agreed: "Yes, yes, what Lord Xiantong said!"

I looked at him and continued to say loudly: "Everything in the world cannot be born out of thin air, if you want to ask for rain in Fangling, you can only borrow some rain from other places, enough to moisten the soil and irrigate the crops, how can you be greedy? If you borrow too much, won't other places suffer from drought as well?"

The county magistrate saluted again and again and apologized: "I am confused for a while, I am talking nonsense, and I hope that Lord Xiantong Haihan, everything obeys the arrangement of Lord Xiantong, we are very grateful!"

I nodded, waved at him, and asked him to start speaking to the people!

The county magistrate told everyone the pros and cons of the matter, and then publicized it for me, and finally everyone understood that I was praying for rain in order to benefit the people of Fangling and ask for nectar for the crops!

I guess the people here have also heard of the matter of praying for rain in the sky, maybe someone has done this kind of thing before, but it didn't work, everyone discussed it in private, and it seems that they don't believe me too much!

I glanced at Li Chengzu, and saw him looking at me with a smile, as if he was waiting for me to perform, and as if he was waiting to see me look foreign!

If I want to calm the scene, I can only show my real skills, this time the sacrifice to the sky and the rain can only be successful, but don't fail, otherwise I will be treated as a fake fairy child by them, and I will be imprisoned if I don't do it well!

Seeking the rain of Ganlin, in the rain of the Qimen Dunjia formation, when the rain of the middle of the law is struck, so that it can bring several days of rain to Fangling, which is the most suitable for irrigating crops and moistening the land!

Without further ado, it's the hottest time of the afternoon, and the sky is shining brightly and the sky is clear!

I stretched out my hand and pulled out the bronze sword, raised the sword and pointed to the sky as an order, and the incantation in my mouth was endless, a pinch of yellow paper was sacrificed to the sky to burn, and a loess sacrifice to the earth into the Ding!

After completing these series of spell casting steps, countless dark clouds began to appear in the sky, and then the whole sky became dark, and after a while, the rain began to drip!

When the clouds were thick, the people had already been conquered by me, and everyone immediately knelt on the ground to bow down to me, even Li Chengzu also kept worshipping together, it seems that he completely believed that I have real skills!

The county magistrate has not left, seeing countless clouds gathered overhead, he looked at the sky and smiled happily, at this moment he seemed to have a sense of accomplishment, happy to the extreme!

When the rain began to fall, we retreated from the altar and continued to take Li Chengzu back to my residence! Countless people still gathered outside the door in the rain, they came to bow down outside the door in the rain to thank them, all of them were farmers who farmed the land, and they were also the direct beneficiaries of this sacrifice to the sky and rain!

Zhang Tiedan persuaded outside the door for a long time, but these people stood in the rain for a long time and refused to leave.

I had no choice but to go out of the house again and come to the door to persuade everyone: "Everyone, please go back and go home to rest! This rain will moisten the crops and the weeds in the field, so you can be refreshed and hoe the grass in the field tomorrow!"

After hearing this, everyone immediately burst into laughter, and bowed to me again, and then left one after another satisfied!

Li Chengzu watched all my every move, and between his tightly knit eyebrows, there seemed to be countless troubles and sorrows!
