In the course of Hai Jui's hunger strike, his twists and turns had already arrived in the capital. Xiao Feng read it out in public, and said that Hai Rui's heart was pitiful and his ambition was commendable.

After listening to the recital, the hundred officials in the capital all scolded Hai Rui angrily, and even scolded Xu Jie. If Xu Jie hadn't wanted to attack Daomen, how could there be such a bullshit thing?

Xu Jie was also speechless, and he had to express his approval. He is now just like Xiao Feng at that time, and Hai Rui is just like him at that time.

At that time, he stood on the commanding heights of morality and took the common people of the world as hostages, forcing Xiao Feng to agree to convene the real people of the Taoist Sect to open the altar and pray for rain.

Now Hai Rui stands on the moral high ground higher than him, saying that for the sake of the common people in the world, we can't just count on Taoist priests, we also have to make sacrifices.

Who would dare to object to this big hat buttoned down? Anyway, Xu Jie didn't dare, he pinched his nose, and asked Jiajing to perform as the first assistant of the cabinet.

Jiajing doesn't care, as long as he doesn't make an edict against himself, isn't it just to take a bath once a day, and don't touch women these days, what's so difficult about this?

As for fasting, I am a cultivator, and I have nothing to do but fast for ten days and eight days.

So Jiajing happily agreed. So before the real people arrived in the capital, the officials were forced to eat vegetarian every day, and followed Jiajing to the Temple of Heaven to bask in the sun at noon.

Of course, not all officials are lucky enough to bask in the sun, Xiao Feng proposed that the official affairs of the imperial court cannot be stopped, and each department must at least have someone on duty.

Jiajing agreed, and then asked Xiao Feng, who is so unfortunate that he doesn't have to fast and bathe and go to the Temple of Heaven to replenish calcium?

Xiao Feng said with a smile: "Those who are fortunate enough to go to the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain with Banzai, of course, must be the courtiers with the most sincere hearts and the most confidence in this matter."

Otherwise, let those who do not have enough faith in praying for rain go, it will definitely affect the effect of praying for rain. ”

Jiajing nodded in agreement: "So who doesn't have enough confidence?" ”

Xiao Feng pointed at his father-in-law: "Lord Liu Tong, Lord Liu, Lord Pan Huang, Lord Pan Huang, Lord Ding Rukui, Lord Ding, etc., these people did not follow Xu Shoufu to Xiyuan to kneel and pray for rain that day."

Why? Apparently they are all people who have little faith in this matter. Since this is the case, there is no need to be reluctant, so it is better to punish them not to fast and stay in the yamen.

On that day, those who knelt down in Xiyuan to pray for rain were obviously full of confidence in God, so they all had to bathe and fast, and drive to the Temple of Heaven. ”

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this truth, Pan Huang, Ding Rukui and others bowed their heads to express their shame, in fact, they were desperately trying to hide the hilarity in their stomachs.

Liu Tong endured the hardest, since he heard that he was going to bathe and fast, he was so worried that he couldn't eat, and he didn't even want to gnaw on the meat and bones. At this time, seeing that his son-in-law had relieved himself of the siege, he was so happy.

Pan Huang stabbed him from behind: "Shame, shame!" I really won't hide my face! ”

Xu Jie's face was expressionless, and he scolded Xiao Feng for half of the family tree in his heart. Looking at the eyes of those officials who were fortunate enough to accompany them, we knew that it would definitely not be easy to organize such a large-scale petition event next time.

The bath is refreshing, but the fast is bitter, and the sun at noon is poisonous. Jiajing has not cultivated in vain for so many years, and basking in the sun is no problem for him.

However, the hundred officials had little soup in their stomachs, and they were dizzy by the sun, and they not only prayed for rain in their hearts, but also prayed that the Daomen people would hurry into Beijing and take their places, so that they could be replaced from the pit.

However, the real people of Daomen are heavy one by one, far less brisk and active than when they entered Beijing last time, so they walked for many days before they arrived in the capital, and at this time the officials were already almost as sunny as Bao Youwei.

But the people were really moved by the imperial court, and they spontaneously rushed to the Temple of Heaven, crying and kowtowing to Jiajing, praising Jiajing as the holy lord of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Jiajing has tanned a little, he has always only listened to the sycophants of the courtiers, and he rarely heard the sycophants directly from the people.

Originally, he was still a little annoyed with Hai Rui's stunned performance, but at this time, he suddenly felt that this was also very good. Regardless of whether it rains or not, the people think that I am a Ming Jun, isn't that good?

Well, Hai Rui looks so good, no wonder the junior brother will promote and reuse him, and he must meet him when he has the opportunity in the future......

Although the recognition of the people made Jiajing very happy, the news of the real people entering Beijing still made him breathe a sigh of relief, after all, he also missed the harem concubines a little.

Hurry up and pray for rain, and then I can end my fast, you must know that the drought is not only the land, but also the harem is so dry that it is smoking!

The Daomen people lived in the luxurious club arranged by the Daolu Division, and all the treatment was top-notch.

Jiajing Chongdao, the treatment of real people is already high, not to mention that this time to enter Beijing is to carry high hopes, of course, the reception work cannot be sloppy.

But the more this happens, the more frowning the real people become. You must know that the higher you lift, the heavier you fall. The higher Jiajing's expectations, the greater the anger will be after disappointment!

The real people were eagerly looking forward to seeing Xiao Feng, the backbone, but Xiao Feng didn't come for a long time, and they didn't dare to go out. Because hundreds of people gathered around the clubhouse, hoping to see the real people.

The fans are so fanatical that real people don't dare to go out because they are afraid of being caught and asked by the fans, and they don't know how to answer.

"A real person, what do you think of praying for rain at the Temple of Heaven tomorrow?"

"A certain real person, what is your evaluation of this rain prayer organized by the imperial court?"

"A real person, may I ask which real person do you think is the one who prayed for rain this time, whose coffee position is bigger, and whose credit is it for the success of praying for rain?"

How are these questions answered? I can't tell them that in fact, we are also blind cats and dead rats, and we will become dead cats.

After dark, Xiao Feng finally arrived, Zhang Tianshi, Ma Yunteng and Gu Xuzi stepped forward together, Zhang Tianshi was the most eager, and grabbed Xiao Feng's arm.

"Xiao Zhenren, pray for rain at the Temple of Heaven tomorrow, what countermeasures do you have?"

Xiao Feng's heart sank, he actually had some illusions about Zhang Tianshi, but now looking at Zhang Tianshi's expression, it was obviously unreliable.

He looked at the other two real people, who also looked at him with a wry smile, with expressions expecting him to come up with a perfect solution.

Xiao Feng took a deep breath: "Don't talk about fake work in front of real people, do you have the ability to pray for rain?" ”

The three real people really didn't tell lies, they shook their heads together, and seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhang Tianshi was inevitably a little embarrassed.

"To tell you the truth, this rain praying technique Dragon Tiger Mountain has really existed, but it has not worked since my ancestor's generation.

By the time of my Master, I will have one spirit out of ten. When I came here, I was even more ashamed, the talisman I used should be the same as that of Master and Master, but I never worked once.

So then I thought about it, the problem should be in the person, not in the charm, my cultivation is not as good as the master, and the master's cultivation is not as good as the master! ”

Xiao Feng nodded silently, and Gu Xuzi sighed helplessly: "Wudang is mainly martial arts, but it is not completely without aisle skills.

It is said that Patriarch Zhang Sanfeng entered the Tao with martial arts, and also killed demons and demons, but it was not passed down, and it is estimated that the cultivation of the younger generations is not enough, and the transmission cannot be received. ”

Ma Yunteng sighed and said: "In fact, in addition to the Fu Zheng Sect, the Qing Cultivation Sect has also been good at Taoist techniques such as praying for blessings, exorcising evil spirits, and calming plagues. It's just that it's long gone. ”

Xiao Feng sighed: "In this way, tomorrow's rain prayer meeting can only be resigned to fate." ”

The three real people said in unison: "Xiao Zhenren is resourceful, this matter must be prepared, and I hope to inform me and others, so that I can also have a bottom in my heart." ”

Xiao Feng smiled bitterly: "There must be preparations, but it has nothing to do with praying for rain." I've been helping Banzai mentally prepare him these days to make him understand that Providence is indisobedient.

Even if the Tao is through the gods, you can only discuss with the immortals, and the immortals agree or disagree, that is the matter of the gods, so praying for rain may not be successful.

Thinking that with these foreshadowings, even if the prayer for rain fails, Banzai will not be too disappointed and angry, and blame you, just ......"

The hearts of the three real people who had just let go were suddenly brought up again by this sentence of "just": "Just what? ”

Xiao Feng sighed: "It's just that the status of Daomen in the hearts of the people will inevitably decline." Fans won't listen to your explanation, and when the house collapses, it will turn dark immediately. ”

The three real people couldn't understand Xiao Feng's words, they looked at each other, and suddenly Ma Yunteng remembered Tao Zhongwen.

"What about Huo Xuan Zhenren, he will also go to the Temple of Heaven tomorrow, right?"

Xiao Feng nodded: "Huo Xuan Zhenren has already told Banzai that he is the Danding Sect, and the burning of fire and alchemy has a collision with praying for rain."

So he won't be on the altar tomorrow, and he will be responsible for helping everyone light incense below, and make a modest contribution. ”

Ma Yunteng expressed his admiration: "It's still this old fox who is smarter, far better than me, admire, admire!" ”

The next day, the people of the capital gathered at the Temple of Heaven, and even many people from other places rushed to the capital to watch the ceremony. Because this ritual is directly related to the safety of the world.

Jiajing also ordered the forbidden army and the Jinyi guard, except for the middle of the Temple of Heaven to be reserved for the altar and the hundred officials, the rest of the place could not help but crowd onlookers. Even the walls and trees were full of people.

"The best location, the best view, only 500 wen! Tong Su is not bullied, Tong Su is not bullied! ”

"Don't lie to me, five hundred wen is not a small amount, you have to count when you take the money!"

"You can rest assured, I operate a viewing position at the site of various large-scale events in the capital, and I operate with absolute conscience and never deceive people!"

"Don't brag, what success stories have you had? If you can't say it, you're lying! ”

"That's a lot! Back then, the Temple of Heaven said that good positions were all in my hands! The students in the capital besieged Xiao Zhenren's house, and the position at the head of the wall was also sold by me!

Altan Khan attacked the capital, and I can handle the tight position at the head of the city! Baihualou fought in many ways, the farm beheaded Yan Shifan, and the good seats are all mine!

Not to mention Beijing City, our brothers are all over the world, Xiao Zhenren is in Nanjing to solve cases, poems, and write songs, all of which are the seats sold by my brothers! ”

"Okay, okay, I know you're amazing, 500 Wen for you, take me to the best seat!"

"Come with me, turn left, then right, climb the wall, go up the second tree, the third branch to the east.

Don't sit on the first one, that one has a master! Don't sit on the second one, that one sells too many tickets, you get hurt, you're too fat, it's easy to fall off! ”

"Damn, it's so far away, how can it be called the best location? You fucking liar, give me the money back! ”

"Of course, this is the best position, you see how good the view is, unobstructed, shade and wind, look at the pulp of this branch to know how many buttocks come out!"

"Although what you said is correct, the problem is that the distance is too far to see clearly!"

"Rent out the telescope, 500 wen an hour. Be quiet, this is a high-end product borrowed from a brother in the military! Rent, don't sell! It's sinful to lose it! ”

"What the fuck are you...... Forget it, let's rent one, anyway, it has already cost 500 Wen, so it can't be spent in vain! ”

"Take it, put the rope around your neck, so that if you miss, you won't break the telescope, this thing is worth more than your life!"

"I can only hold the branch with one hand with the telescope, what if I fall down?"

"Rental safety rope, 500 Wen, absolutely strong, and full of elasticity, to ensure your safety at the same time, to give you the best riding experience!"

"What the fuck are you...... Profiteer! ”

The real people don't notice the noise and chaos around them, their expressions are solemn, and they don't know how to end up in a while.

The altar has been built, and the real people are standing under the altar, looking at each other, and no one wants to move first.

Huo Xuanzhen Tao Zhongwen used the cover of the big incense burner to avoid people's sight, and kept pulling the incense ashes in the incense burner.

Jiajing also saw that the real people seemed to be a little weak-hearted, but at this time they couldn't retreat, he coughed, and Huang Jin immediately walked over.

"Please ask a few real people to go to the altar in turn, who can pray for the success of the rain, save the common people, and be crowned as a real person, the head of the Daomen!"

When several real people heard the order, their hearts were somewhat calmer. only said that success was rewarded, but not that failure was punished, it must have been Xiao Feng's psychological construction in advance that played a role.

Up to now, stretching out the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, you can't hide from it, it's better to die early and be reincarnated!

Gu Xuzi gritted his teeth: "Among the three of us, I am the oldest, I'll go first, just look at this age, I'm embarrassed to be heavy-handed." ”

After speaking, Gu Xuzi stepped on the wooden steps and climbed the stairs. Ma Yunteng and Zhang Tianshi glanced at each other and were very moved.

Everyone knows that although there is always a failure in the end, the first person to fail will always make the deepest impression. Gu Xuzi's move does have the style of an elder.

Gu Xuzi ascended the altar and picked up the peachwood sword on the altar. Although the major sects have different emphasis, there is no one who does not know the practice of opening the altar at all, but the methods are very different.

Gu Xuzi is an authentic martial arts cultivator, and he enters the Tao with martial arts, so the scene of the practice is the most beautiful!

Gu Xuzi first showed a set of authentic Tai Chi swords, and the people who watched it were fascinated, cheered one after another, and suddenly gave birth to some hope.

In fact, Gu Xuzi's practice of entering the Tao with martial arts is not nonsense. Tai Chi pays attention to the unity of heaven and man, and yin and yang complement each other. The cathode is born of yang, and the anode is born of yin.

If there is a great drought today, this is definitely the image of the extreme yang, and it is very reasonable to use the Tai Chi sword practice to sense the heavens and cater to the image of the extreme yin.

But I don't know if God looks down on Gu Xuzi's cultivation, or if the altar is not high enough and the signal is not good.

Although Gu Xuzi's Taiji Sword was practiced perfectly, he was so tired that he was sweating, and the sky was still scorching and sunny, and there was no cloud at all.

Gu Xuzi is an old man after all, he practiced the Taiji Sword 8864 three times in a row, and finally couldn't support it anymore, stopped and looked up at the sky, speechless and crying.

The Taiji Sword was originally the 9981 style, and only the 8864 style was left when it was passed to him, and now there is only one Zhang Wuxin who can learn the 64 styles of the Taiji Sword.

But after Zhang Wuxin was seriously injured, his swordsmanship had changed, and the authentic Taiji Sword could only be inherited by the eldest disciple.

But the eldest disciple has only learned sixty styles, and if this continues, the Taiji Sword will be passed on for a few hundred years, and I don't know how many styles will be left.

Gu Xuzi suddenly thought, if he knew a full set of ninety-nine-eighty-one style Tai Chi swords, would today's practice of praying for rain have different results?

With unwillingness and shame, Gu Xuzi staggered down the altar, Xiao Feng stepped forward to support him and brought him to Tao Zhongwen's side.

"Brother, it's a little shady on this side of the incense burner, let Gu Zhenren rest for a while."

Tao Zhongwen nodded again and again, and let the shadow of the incense burner out for Gu Xuzi to sit down. This is indeed the only shade in the Temple of Heaven, and even Jiajing doesn't let people shade the sun, who dares not to bask in the sun?

Zhang Tianshi gritted his teeth, and when he was about to step up, Ma Yunteng grabbed him and smiled slightly.

"You are the most hopeful, you prepare well, believe in yourself, I will stand for you for a while!"

Watching Ma Yunteng climb the stairs, Zhang Tianshi gritted his teeth, mobilized the strength of his whole body, and repeatedly recited the spells and talismans that he had memorized well in his heart, hoping to be more heartfelt and more pious.

Ma Yunteng is a Qing cultivator, he can't practice swords, he can only meditate. He sat cross-legged, picked up the peachwood sword, and placed it across his knees.

"Long sky, vast earth, Taoist disciple Ma Yunteng, Qing has been cultivating for many years, doing nothing, only this heart is still good.

All the immortals in the heavenly realm should be ascended by the predecessors of the Daomen, upright and intelligent, and should know the suffering of the world. If the disciple can get lucky, he will ask all the gods to have mercy.

The disciple is willing to spend his life cultivating to exchange the water of goodness and turn the world into sweet rain. If one disciple is not enough, the disciple also has a junior disciple named Ma Hualong......"

Ma Yunteng prayed sincerely in his heart, trying to use the method of pure cultivation to sense the gods in the sky. However, he has been practicing for many years, and he has only seen the master once in his dreams, and as for the immortals, he has never seen a single one.

Although he is pious at this time, how can the gods be seen when they say they can see it. He has cultivated the Qing Cultivation Sect for many years, and his heart is like water, immersed in it, but he doesn't know that time has flown by outside, and an hour has passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiajing couldn't stand it anymore, and instructed Huang Jin: "Ma Zhenren doesn't seem to be able to do it, wake him up and call him down, let Zhang Tianshi go up!" ”
