Chapter 104 Shuyang County, where the dragon is crouching for the tiger
On the square in Shuyang County, there are crowds of people.
In a remote corner, Lin Fan and the three of them stood high and quietly watched the grand occasion in the field.
It's just a man next to him, who frequently attracts attention.
The man is more than seven feet tall, and he obviously has a full beard, but he gives people a handsome beauty.
And the top of the man's head is also thick hair, which makes people look quite funny.
"Xiao Huang, is your disguise really reliable? How does the little monk feel that many people still look at themselves? The man said with some embarrassment.
That's right, this man is Fa Ming's disguise.
But when Huang Zuming heard Fa Ming's words, he said with sincerity on his face: "Master Fa Ming, don't worry, this disguise only arouses the curiosity of some mortals, and will definitely not attract the attention of the manta fish!" ”
"Why is that?" Fa Ming looked at Huang Zuming with some puzzlement.
Huang Zuming said mysteriously: "The hair on your body is all changed by me, and the breath is also mine, the manta fish will not be interested in a yellow skin!" ”
"Your hair?"
"Okay..... Actually, it's the ..... I shed."
Hearing Huang Zuming's words, Fa Ming's face turned green, and he said in his heart, no wonder there was a strange smell......
However, before he could speak again, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded.
I saw that the crowd of onlookers suddenly began to make noise, and the originally small square suddenly seemed a little crowded.
Lin Fan looked up and found that the person praying for rain was doing it.
Most of the onlookers were people from Shuyang County, and they seemed to be watching the rain for the first time, and they were very excited, showing expectant looks.
"It's coming, it's time to pray for rain!"
"Is this the immortal master who prays for us for rain?"
In the hustle and bustle of the crowd, several people who took the list and prayed for rain walked out.
Lin Fan looked at them and found that they were of different shapes, including middle-aged men dressed in sackcloth who looked like croppers, old mothers dressed like goddesses, and Taoist aunts in colorful robes.
They were followed by quite a few people, like disciples and guards.
Among these people, Mai has the most middle-aged entourage and the most honest smile.
He looked around, looked down on the viewing platform, and explained to the county magistrate of Shuyang County, who was sitting above: "My method of praying for rain pays attention to sincerity and spirituality, and it requires the people of Shuyang County to be sincere, and there can be no doubts, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed." ”
As soon as these words came out, all the onlookers suddenly fell silent and looked at the middle-aged Mai together.
After all, it's about itself, and no one wants Mai to fail in praying for rain in middle age.
The county magistrate of Shuyang County arched his hand solemnly and said, "Then it will be troublesome to the immortal master." ”
"Hmm."
Mai nodded in middle age, and with a quick turn of her wrist, she conjured a coarse cloth out of thin air, looking like she was ready to pray for rain.
Suddenly, Mai middle-aged raised his hand and waved, and the coarse cloth in his hand suddenly unfolded, and then covered the ground, blurring into a big pit.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
"Is this the Immortal Law?!"
There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd, causing a commotion in the square, which had been quiet, again.
At the beginning, everyone saw that Mai was middle-aged without fairy bones, and they were still a little suspicious, but when they saw Mai's middle-aged hand, they began to look forward to it again.
But I saw that the middle-aged man in Mai kept on his hands, and soon formed a strange handprint, reciting words.
After a while, three sticks of incense were conjured out of thin air and the incense was inserted into the pit.
After doing this step, Mai was obviously relieved, and then shouted in a deep voice: "The ceremony has been completed, come and help!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the group of people who had followed Mai before quickly surrounded the big pit in an orderly manner.
Each of them had a broom in their hands, bowed their heads and silently swept the floor, and they all wore dustpans on their heads.
Inside were seven old women, outside were seven little girls, and on the outermost was a man carrying a bucket and watering a dustpan one by one.
Whenever the men watered, the little girls began to cry, crying and shouting: "Cry God, God cry, poor God, God is pitiful, it rains peacefully, the girl is happy!" ”
When the old women heard the girl crying, they also chanted silently: "Sweep out the wind, sweep the rain, it will be full of big pits to save people's lives, and it will rain in the sky, and the mother will get married!" ”
As the ceremony progressed, the cries and chanting came and went, and the expectations of the people became more and more prosperous.
Even though the sun was scorching in the sky, they were sweating, but they still stuck to the square and waited quietly.
Mai saw that the ceremony was almost complete, and pinched the trick again, and suddenly pointed at the most angry crowd.
Suddenly, a red light was drawn by the unintentional force, and instantly shot towards the three incense sticks in the big pit.
The cigarettes of the three sticks of incense slowly rose, surrounded by about three zhang from the big pit, accumulating, floating, and becoming more and more intense.
When the people saw this, their eyes widened.
After about a quarter of an hour, the accumulated cigarettes turned into a white snake.
I saw that the white snake's eyes were glowing red, and at the moment when the incense burned out, it rushed straight to the sky with the infinite expectations of the people.
"This person is only in the Qi refining period, and he has such a means, it's really amazing!" Lin Fan looked surprised.
Fa Ming on the side also sighed: "This man uses the people's will and people's anger, although he is a little tricky, but he is also clever. ”
"I can't imagine that the spell can be cast like this, it's really not a trick to deceive people." Huang Zuming groaned.
The immortal master prays for rain, and it has seen a lot, but it is rare to really have the ability.
It can be said that most of the so-called immortal masters praying for rain are deceitful.
Just as they sighed, the white snake had risen into the sky, and then with a 'snap', it turned into a white cloud the size of an acre.
Before the people below could react, the white cloud changed color again and became a dark cloud.
The people of Shuyang County have not seen dark clouds for more than half a month.
When the dark clouds appeared, they suddenly exclaimed; "Look, it's a dark cloud, it's a dark cloud of rain!"
"Is it finally going to rain?!"
"Quick, it's going to rain!"
The people cheered and took out the pots and pans that had been prepared for a long time, waiting for the rain.
But before they could rejoice, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly rolled over, as if on fire, and quickly dyed red, and then disappeared.
It's as if the scene just now was just an illusion.
"Poof.....
The moment the dark clouds disappeared, the middle-aged Mai below spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his face was also pale.
It seems that the injury is not light.
At this moment, the county magistrate of Shuyang County, who was sitting on the viewing platform, hurriedly ran down: "Immortal Master, the dark clouds have just come out, and there is a faint sign of rain, why did it suddenly disappear?" ”
"There is an extremely evil force that has stopped me, and I am not strong enough to fight!"
Mai, a middle-aged man, endured her injuries and explained to the county magistrate of Shuyang County.
The county magistrate of Shuyang County stepped over his shoulders and looked at the goddess with a bitter face: "Mrs. Qian, it's up to you." ”
"Okay."
The old woman named Qian Po answered, and walked out slowly with a cane.
Everyone raised their hands and looked over, only to see that the old woman looked very ordinary, her face was all around, and she looked very old.
But the eyes are kind-->>

Xiang seems to be very spiritual.
The goddess did not have a tedious ceremony, but walked to the center of the square, took out a wooden statue of the deity, and placed it on the offering table.
Then he took out two small porcelain vases and hung them on either side of the statue.
The statue is not exquisitely carved, but the facial features can be vaguely recognized.
These facial features are not like human facial features, a bit like a dragon, and if you look closely, you can also see the word 'Dragon King' written on the wood carving.
The goddess's movements were very slow, which made the onlookers look very anxious, perhaps because of the previous Mai's middle-aged failure, which made them a little more uneasy.
Or maybe the sun overhead is too big for them to bear.
In short, they looked intently at the goddess, hoping that she would succeed.
In the long-awaited anticipation, the goddess finally completed all the movements, and shouted hoarsely: "Come." ”
This voice was shouted to the two people who had been following her before.
I saw two fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys, carrying a sedan chair woven with wicker, slowly walking to the center of the square and stopping in front of the goddess.
The goddess glanced at them, didn't say much, and directly put the statue of the god with the bottle into the sedan chair, and then shouted: "Get up the sedan chair!" ”
"Get up!"
The two teenagers echoed, and then lifted the sedan chair woven of wicker.
The sedan chair obviously looked light, but the two teenagers looked very struggling, even the green tendons on their foreheads were exposed, and the sweat on their backs wet their clothes.
Just when everyone was holding their breath and concentrating, the goddess suddenly became very agile, and she came to the table in a flash, waiting quietly for the two teenagers.
The legs of the two teenagers were as heavy as lead, and it was very difficult to walk even though the distance was very short.
After half an hour, they finally carried the sedan chair to the table.
With a pious face, the goddess carefully took out the idol and placed it behind a porcelain bowl that looked old.
After this step, she took the two teenagers, knelt down in front of the table, and began to pray to the 'Dragon King'.
Although the people were unconscious, the goddess prayed for a long time, and there was no movement at all, which made them even more anxious.
"Do you want to do it? I don't think it's as good as the previous immortal master....."
"That's right, it's too hot this day, and if it doesn't rain, we're all going to die of heat...."
"Let's hope it will work out this time...."
While the people were whispering, the goddess suddenly raised her voice.
I don't know what she read, but the porcelain bowl in front of the statue of the 'Dragon King' actually gurgled out of water.
Soon, the water had accumulated to half a foot, and there was not the slightest trace of spilling.
"Wow! Out of the water! ”
"How can there be water in this bowl, like a spring!"
"Don't you see? That's the Dragon King, the Dragon Lord has appeared! ”
When the anxious people saw such a miracle, they suddenly filled with hope.
Seeing this, the goddess quickly got up, and then filled the bowl with water with a small porcelain bottle hanging on the statue.
After the small porcelain vase was filled, the water in the bowl quickly calmed down, leaving only a flat bowl of water.
The goddess picked up the bowl of water and threw it directly at the two teenagers who were lifting their feet.
The two teenagers were soaked with water, but they didn't mean to be angry, but their faces were relaxed.
Soon, the goddess put the bowl back and conjured a wicker stick, dipping it in the water in the porcelain jar while chanting the words.
The wicker was dipped in water, but it did not fall, and grew green shoots, and the green shoots glowed with a faint clear light, making the surrounding water vapor more and more dense.
"This water resistance technique is very special!"
Fa Ming said in surprise.
"But it's quite special, I can't imagine that this small county town also hides dragons and crouching tigers....." Lin Fan echoed.
"I just don't know if I can make it....."
"Whether it succeeds or not, let's see first...."
I saw that the goddess waved the wicker faster and faster, like a goddess scattering flowers, indescribably comfortable.
It didn't take long for the thick mist to turn into a mass of water and fly into the air.
However.
Just when everyone thought it was about to rain, the water ball exploded like it had fallen into a pan of oil.
"Be careful!"
The exploding water mass turned into countless hot beads of fire and flew towards the crowd.
The people in the square immediately scattered and fled.
But seeing Fa Ming in a remote corner, he snorted coldly, and the world suddenly darkened.
It was Fa Ming who used his robe to block this catastrophe for the people.
"Zizizi...."
Bursts of white smoke rose from the surface of the robe, but the robe was not damaged in the slightest.
After resisting all the water droplets, the robe shrank again in an instant, and was draped over Fa Ming's body again. CoM
At this time, Fa Ming had already taken off his disguise and turned into a handsome monk again.
"Thank you, Master, for the rescue!"
The county magistrate of Shuyang County saw that Fa Ming had saved the people, and hurriedly saluted him.
The people also recovered from their fright and thanked Fa Ming; "Thank you, little master!"
But the goddess was not so lucky.
Not only was he attacked by the exercises, but he was also wronged by the people.
"This is praying for rain, this is clearly murder!"
"That's right, if it weren't for the master's rescue, we would have been scalded to death by the hot rain!"
"Hey, don't talk about it, it's not easy for an immortal master...."
At the same time as the people were talking to each other, the county magistrate of Shuyang County stood up and said loudly; "Don't panic, everyone, there is a master, pray for rain to continue!"
When he said this, the county magistrate of Shuyang County subconsciously wiped the sweat on his forehead.
Because he has no bottom in his heart now.
I finally became a county magistrate, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing.
Although the people invited have real skills, if they can't ask for rain, the people of this county will be finished.
When the people are finished, he will suffer with them.
Therefore, he pinned his hopes on the last flower cannon Daogu.
"Sanniang's strength is not good, so the villagers are frightened, it is Sanniang's incompetence, it shouldn't be supported, this rain, Sanniang can't ask for it."
After the goddess finished speaking, she retreated in shame.
She was invited to ask for rain this time, not only did she not ask for rain, but she almost harmed the people present, so she was really shameless to stay here.
The Taoist aunt in the colorful robe saw the goddess leaving, and knew that she should not be able to ask for rain, so she simply said: "The fathers and villagers of Shuyang County, although my Huagu has some Taoism, but this rain, I am afraid that I can't ask for it, which disappoints the fathers and villagers!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the crowd suddenly exploded.
"What?! The last immortal master didn't ask for rain directly?! ”
"What, how can this be? How that should be! ”
"Is the sky going to kill the people of Shuyang County? Woowoo woo ....."
"Oh my God, what sin have we done! You're going to do this to us! ”
As the wails rang out, the atmosphere in the square grew more and more desperate.
