Chapter 227: The Ritual of Asking for Rain in the Dao Gate

The monks said: "Buddha, I don't dare to go far, but I am afraid that the officials will take it and solve it, but they will eat and redeem it, and return to disaster." ”

Wujing said: "In this case, you stay here and wait for me to go for three days?" ”

"The Buddha killed the Taoist priest, and we don't dare to stay! Fear of being implicated. ”

"I will only be implicated under the same Buddha, and I will be saved by the protection of a Buddha. Do you want to be implicated by me? ”

"To be implicated, to be implicated!"

The monks hurriedly replied, and according to Wujing's meaning, they scattered in all directions.

Wujing dispersed these monks, soared into the air to look at the city, only to see a palace in the city is magnificent, it is where the palace is located, Wang Gong, there are layers of halls next to it, there is the smell of incense, but it is a Taoist temple.

He flew towards the Taoist temple, looked down at the clouds, and saw the golden flag below unfurled, and the Suqian Taoist priests gathered together, guarding the king's honor guard and an altar.

Under the king's guard of honor, two rows of Taoist priests were playing musical instruments, and three Taoist chiefs of the fairy wind and Taoist bones sat on the futon and preached the "Confession of Eliminating Disasters".

The three of them kept talking, the Buddha dust swayed, the curse water spilled, and the surrounding flags fluttered and swayed. Kind of like that.

The previous desks of the three Taoists all had fruits and refreshments, and on both sides hung a couplet of yellow brocade, embroidered with 12 large characters:

The rain is smooth and the wind is good, and I wish the heavens immeasurable

Ha Qing Haiyan, praying for more than one long life

Chanting and singing, there was a pillar of incense time, and after finishing this Taoist scripture, a stout-looking Taoist priest stood up and walked to a altar more than three zhang high.

On both sides of this platform are the flags of the 28 stars, and a table is placed on the top of the table, and there is an incense burner on the table, and there are two candlesticks on the side of the incense burner, and then a gold medal is written, and the name of the god of thunder is written on the card!

There are five large water tanks under the platform, all filled with clean water, and there is a willow branch floating on the water, and an iron sign is held on the willow branch, and the sign is written Thunder Dusi.

There are five large piles on the left and right of the water tank, which are engraved with the names of the five thunder messengers, and two Taoist priests stand next to each stake, respectively, with iron hammers, and keep knocking on the stakes.

There are many Taoist priests behind the high platform, who are writing hard and writing paperwork-like things.

The stout Taoist priest, although he had big shoulders and a round waist, still had the temperament of a clear breeze and bones, and he seemed to be very unharmonious, he walked to a purple furnace, put some god positions, and finally, stood at the top of the high platform.

The little Taoist priest under the stage hurriedly held a few yellow paper book talismans, trotted all the way to the high platform, and ran up from the other side with a Taoist priest holding a sword, all of which were handed over to the stout Taoist priest.

Instead, holding a sword in his hand, chanting a mantra, he burned a rune on a candle, and the Taoist priests behind the high platform also finished writing the paperwork and burned it.

The fire has just been extinguished, the Taoist on the platform picked up a token, pointed to the sky, recently the red light appeared, a loud noise came from mid-air, the sound of the wind floated slowly, in the blink of an eye, the wind blew violently.

The Taoist picked up another token and pointed it to the sky, sending out a black light, and there was another loud bang, and the sky was full of dark clouds for an instant.

Then, a golden light rose into the sky, lightning and thunder thundered in the sky, a blue light rose into the sky, and heavy rain poured down.

Half an hour later, when the rain stopped, the king got up and bowed to the statue of Sanqing, and some people thanked him. set up a guard of honor and went back to the palace.

After reading the whole process, Wujing said in his heart: "This still has some mana, I don't know where I learned it, but I see that he is surrounded by pure energy, although there are some wisps of demonic energy, but it is well suppressed, and at first glance it is a monster who is dedicated to the Tao."

And there is not a trace of blood in his body, it is certain that he has not killed life. Looking at the ruddy complexion of the king and queen, the ministers and Taoist children around them were also refreshed and not harmed by evil things.

It seems that they are not a demon! can be called a person in the Daomen, or a person in the Daomen who has made a difference! ”

Wujing looked at it again and again, and felt that these three people did not look like they were persecuting monks, so they did not show up, but still hid and observed quietly.

After the rain ceremony, the king and queen returned to the palace, the Taoist children also dispersed, and the three Taoist people also disappeared in place.

Just now, the lively and crowded Taoist temple instantly became deserted.

Wujing then pressed the cloud head and went straight to the main hall.

On the top of the main hall, there is a statue of Sanqing, which is for Lingbao Tianzun, Yuan Shi Tianzun, and Taishang Laojun.

Fruits, candles, silk and so on are no different from other places, but the seats of Sanqing are an outlier.

The normal Taoist temple is to put Taishang Laojun in the middle, and put Lingbao Tianzun and Yuan Shi Tianzun on both sides, but here, Lingbao Tianzun is placed in the middle, Yuan Shi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun are not only in the side height but also a little small.

If you don't know Sanqing, maybe you will regard Lingbao Tianzun as a master and master.

Wujing was puzzled: "Isn't Lingbao Tianzun the Tongtian Sect Master?" Why did they put the position of the leader of the Tongtian Sect so high? It can already be regarded as steadily suppressing Yuan Shi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun! This is counterintuitive. ”

He walked up to the front and took a closer look, and found that Lingbao Tianzun's clothes were all sewn with gold wire, while Yuan Shi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun were all wearing ordinary Taoist clothes.

When Wujing was observing, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and he quickly transformed and hid behind Lingbao Tianzun.

The door creaked open.

The tiger power immortal, the sheep power immortal, and the deer power immortal in the mouth of the little Taoist priest walked in together.

They knelt down together and kowtowed three times to Sanqing.

I only heard a powerful voice say, "Apprentice to meet Master, and meet two masters at the same time!" ”

……

On the other side, the monks who were running around happened to see Sanzang and Bajie and others resting on the side of the road, looking at their fine skin and tender meat, spotless, and knowing that it was a monk from afar, they came up:

"This master is from afar, right?"

"Exactly!"

"Don't go forward, in front of you is Che Chiguo, who specializes in arresting us monks and doing coolies for Taoist priests!"

Bajie laughed stupidly: "What you said bastard, if it is really as you said, why do you still run here leisurely to scare us?" ”

"It's not a bastard, we've been working as coolies in Chechi for five years, and just now a Taoist priest dressed up and claimed to have been a monk, saying that he wanted to get justice for us, killed two little Taoist priests, and went to the city!"

"If what you say is true, you've been working as a coolie for five years, and now that someone is doing justice, why are you running?"

The monks said longingly: "The man said that he would wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, when the city came out of the emperor's list before he could go back!" We're going to check it out tomorrow! But you must not go today, once you show up, you will be caught by the soldiers in the city! ”

Bajie laughed again: "Why do you believe a stranger? Especially Taoist priests? ”

The monk said: "Before that, there were 18 apologetics and all the Tang Dynasty holy monks and Monkey King arrived, let us wait for rescue, last night there were people who dreamed of Tai Bai Xing, saying that in the past three or two days, someone will drive away the Taoist priest to promote Buddhism!"

Now that someone wants to help us out, naturally we have to believe it! ”

Bajie laughed again: "Then Tai Bai Xing is a Taoist god, how can he help you drive away the Taoist priest?" ”

"What?" The monks were shocked: "That person claims to be from the West Tai Bai Xing, isn't the West the Western Elysium?" How can it be the god of the Daomen? ”
