Chapter 40: Xiao Jingteng
Time turned, and it was three days later.
In front of the gate of King Yan's Mansion, a high altar has been erected.
And Xu Mingwen, the person who asked for rain, had also come to the front hall of Yanwang's Mansion.
When Zhu Di saw Xu Mingwen for the first time, he saw that this person had a sallow face, and his body couldn't stop swinging, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a sick man.
"Mr. He, this ...... Is that the master you found? ”
Zhu Di asked He Qiu in disbelief.
He Qiu nodded, and said in a very affirmative tone: "That's right, please rest assured, Your Highness, this is a master who has lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests for many years, and his mana is strong, and he will definitely be able to ask for a heavy rain today!" ”
Zhu Di glanced at Xu Mingwen, who was about to lose his footing, again, and still couldn't believe that this was a master.
"Mr. He, asking for rain is a big deal, are you really sure he can ask for rain?"
When Zhu Di said this, his expression was very solemn.
This was the first major thing he did after arriving at Shuntian Mansion.
The entire Shuntian Mansion knew that he King Yan was going to set up an altar to ask for rain.
If you fail, the scene will be too ugly.
All of a sudden, the people's morale will drop to the bottom.
Zhu Di had to be cautious.
"Your Highness, you can put ten thousand hearts, the person I personally found, can there be a difference? I promise to bring this rain down to you! ”
He Qiu said it very confidently.
But in fact, He Qiu was also a little bottomless in his heart.
After all, he hadn't tried the rain ball either.
But it doesn't matter.
If the rain really fails, then set a fire and burn the rain platform and this Taoist priest to the dragon king.
Come to a serious sacrifice and ask for rain.
Everyone is a person in the Taoist system, and it is expected that the Dragon Lord should give Zhang Daoling some face and rain down.
Of course, He Qiu had already said this to Xu Mingwen in advance.
lest Xu Mingwen be too perfunctory when he begged for rain.
In modern parlance, this is called employee motivation.
"The auspicious time is almost here, let's start now!"
After He Qiu finished speaking, he put his arm around Xu Mingwen's shoulders and walked towards the outside of the palace.
Zhu Di, Yao Guangxiao and others hurriedly followed.
Soon, the group reached the front of the altar.
The altar is ten feet high, covered with flammable tung oil, and looks exceptionally bright under the scorching sun.
The altar was also surrounded by curious people.
When Xu Mingwen saw this battle, his legs instantly weakened.
Fortunately, He Qiu helped him, otherwise he would have collapsed on the spot.
"Up...... Envoy, I'm ...... Can I regret it now? ”
Xu Mingwen cried with a sad face, and there was no trace of the demeanor of a cultivator on his body.
He Qiu said coldly: "At this point, if you regret it, believe it or not, King Yan burned you on the spot?" ”
Xu Mingwen shuddered, and suddenly stood up straight again.
Now that the left and right are dead, it is better to fight.
People die and birds rise to the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years!
Xu Mingwen turned his heart sideways, waved his big sleeves, took a firm step, and stepped on the wooden steps, his posture was like a fairy.
However, within three steps, he slipped and almost fell.
A nearby palace guard was quick and helped Xu Mingwen in time.
"Master be cautious, there are too many oil brushes on this wooden level, and it's a little slippery."
The guards kindly reminded Xu Mingwen.
Xu Mingwen instantly remembered what He Qiu had said to him.
The envoy really planned to burn himself to sacrifice to the sky, and even brushed so much tung oil.
Xu Mingwen's tears flowed out at once, and he cried a lot.
The guards were confused by Xu Mingwen's reaction, and they didn't know what to do to react for a while.
At this time, He Qiu shouted at the guard, "What's your name?" ”
The guards hurriedly let go of Xu Mingwen's arm, hugged his fists at He Qiu and said, "Tell Mr. He, the lowly name is Xiao Jingteng!" ”
He Qiu was first happy, and then he was happy.
Good name!
With this person, the rain is inevitable today.
"Xiao Jingteng, I remember you, you hurry up and help the master up to the rain platform, don't delay the auspicious time!"
He Qiu told Xiao Jingteng with a smile on his face.
Xiao Jingteng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly helped Xu Mingwen up, and walked quickly to the top of the rain platform.
Xu Mingwen also accepted his fate at this time.
He stood on the high platform with his head down, looked around, and then almost fainted.
The platform was so high that the wind was about to blow off his robe.
The audience was crowded, and looking into the distance, there were countless people watching in this direction.
Xu Mingwen was already afraid of heights, but when he saw such a big battle again, he instantly broke down and cried on the rain platform.
Fortunately, the crying was covered by the wind, and the people in the audience couldn't hear it clearly, thinking that Xu Mingwen was reciting the Sutra of Asking for Rain.
He Qiu turned his head to look at Zhu Di and said with a smile: "Your Highness, this master I found is not bad, right?" What a fan! ”
Zhu Di looked at the blue sky and said with a solemn expression: "Mr. He, it doesn't look like it's going to rain this day, this king is always a little worried!" ”
He Qiu raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't worry, I've already calculated, in another quarter of an hour, there will be a heavy rain falling, you wait here first, I'll go back!" ”
After speaking, He Qiu walked towards the palace.
Zhu Di looked at He Qiu's back, and the worry in his heart did not dissipate in the slightest.
"Monk, do you think what Mr. He said is reliable? Is it really going to rain today? ”
Zhu Di asked Yao Guangxiao worriedly.
Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together and said in a deep voice: "Amitabha, Your Highness, although Mr. He has many miraculous things, whether it rains or not is determined by God, and it is difficult for manpower to intervene!" ”
Zhu Di's eyes widened and said, "You mean, Mr. He may not be able to ask for rain?" ”
Yao Guangxiao nodded and said: "Nine times out of ten, I have also learned to observe celestial phenomena, today's celestial phenomenon is really not a celestial phenomenon that will rain, I am afraid that I will disappoint Mr. He and Your Highness!" ”
Zhu Di suddenly said angrily: "You know that it won't rain today, and you still pinch me to beg for a rain platform?" ”
Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: "Your Highness, it doesn't matter if it rains today, the important thing is that Mr. He has already felt the importance you attach to his words, isn't this a great thing?" ”
Zhu Di paused for a moment, and then a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
Yao Guangxiao is right.
Zhu Di has always wanted to recruit He Qiu, but he has never thought of a good way.
But today, this method has come.
Just because of He Qiu's words, Yan Wangfu spread the news of asking for rain today to the entire Shuntian Mansion, and also spent a lot of money to set up a rain platform.
This can be regarded as giving He Qiu enough face and expressing full sincerity.
It is expected that He Qiu should return the favor and be closer to Yanwangfu in the future, and some magical things will definitely not be hidden anymore.
For example, amazing crops like sweet potatoes.
There are also thermal weapons like shotguns and pistols that are designed to have a long distance and can fire continuously, which is simply a great deal......
