Hearing that Li Chengjing actually wanted to pray for rain for the people of the capital, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly said: "Sir, rain, drought and flood, are all days, and there is a theorem of the time of heaven. ”

"Sir, the technique of praying for rain, although it is not a profound spell, but the consequences of doing so are very serious, even if it is a mountain cultivator, this technique, it is only occasionally used on one-third of an acre of land in one's own house, and now if you want to resolve the drought in the capital, it is bound to be not a few acres of heaven and earth, but a land that encompasses thousands of miles of the capital, and then the heavenly punishment is not trivial, please think twice."

Huang Feihu's face was anxious.

Li Chengjing is one of the few monks who is willing to accept these demons, and he even offers advice and paves the way for them.

If Li Chengjing dies because of heavenly punishment, this great prospect will be ruined forever.

Even if Emperor Qing was still willing to accept them, the surrounding Xuanmen monks would secretly use means to trap them.

Li Chengjing shook his head when he heard this, and refused with a smile.

And said with relief: "Since I am now the director of the Demon Suppression Division, if I want to do things in the future in the Xuanxiu Division, there will be many things that go against the will of the Heavenly Dao, if even I am unwilling to do it, why should I ask them to do it." Taoism is reborn, Buddhism is reborn, no matter life or death, they are all complementary to each other. ”

Huang Feihu said: "The Buddha said, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell." Since Sizhong already has a senior monk from Wuxiang Temple, why don't you let them go to death, it can also be regarded as fulfilling their Dharma! ”

Li Chengjing laughed and shook his head.

Being willing to die and being forced to die by others are two different things.

People of great virtue, regardless of Taoism and Buddha, are light on life and death, and heavy on morality. If there is that kind of realm, whether it is a Taoist priest or a monk, they will actually die with anger, but if the realm is not reached, it is forcing them to die.

The lives of the people in the world are lives, and the lives of the Xuan Xiu on the mountains are also lives, and no one is much more noble than others.

If these Xuan cultivators would not follow him to do things by his side in the future, Li Chengjing naturally didn't care about forcing them to die in exchange for the relief of the drought in the capital.

But since they still have to follow their side, Li Chengjing needs to consider the word people's hearts.

Therefore, only after Li Chengjing himself risked his death to seek the welfare of the people and protect one party, as an example, can he stand on a high place and guide the country and drive them to do it.

Even Li Chengjing, the demon cultivator in their eyes, is willing to die for the people, if they still refuse, what face do they have to say that they are the right way.

The same is moral kidnapping, and the latter is undoubtedly much better.

Although it is not clever, there are so many clever plans in the world, and often the simplest method is the most effective.

Now that Li Chengjing has made up his mind, the matter will soon go through the procedure.

First, the Ministry of Drought submitted a request, and then Guo Xiaoqian assigned the task.

When many Xuan Xiu saw praying for rain and disaster relief for the capital, their scalps were numb.

It's literally forcing them to die.

But when they saw that this task was not given to any of their departments, but was directly assigned to the director of the Demon Suppression Division, the legendary evil monk Li Chengjing, everyone showed unbelievable expressions.

Even the eminent monk was stunned, the smile on his face disappeared, and his brows were tightly locked.

Based on his understanding of Li Chengjing, Li Chengjing is not the kind of character who is willing to die for others, and he is not so great.

Suddenly, he thought of Li Chengjing's cloak shading talisman, and suddenly understood.

Li Chengjing must have done this because of this talisman, evading the supervision of the Heavenly Dao, and having the confidence to escape the punishment of the Heavenly Dao.

"Is this person too confident in the effect of this talisman?"

Shen Wei decided not to obstruct this matter, he wanted to see how strong the effect of this talisman that made the high-level officials of Wuxiang Temple couldn't help but give birth to greed.

As the first major event of the opening of the Demon Division, Li Chengjing first submitted a fold, asking Emperor Qing to promise the Demon Division to pray for rain for the people of the capital, and in the shocked eyes of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, Emperor Qing agreed.

And in order to show the importance of this matter, it is said that when the time comes, Emperor Qing will bring hundreds of civil and military officials to watch the ceremony together.

He even ordered the cabinet to draft a proclamation and publicize it widely, so that the people of the capital would know about it.

Because of this incident, other things in the court seem a little irrelevant.

Many officials and nobles were shocked, could it be that Xuanmen was going to officially participate in human affairs?

Many people have relatives in their hearts, after all, compared to the Xuan Xiu who can fly to the sky and pray for rain to relieve misfortune, ordinary scholars like them are very useless.

This gave them a great sense of crisis.

I even feel that Emperor Qing has been dissatisfied with these officials to such an extent that he wants to lure the wolf into the house.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, officials of the major political parties gathered intensively, and even the parties that used to attack each other made unprecedented contacts and formed alliances.

The purpose is very simple, that is, to hinder the further spread of Xuan Xiu's power in the court.

But Li Chengjing didn't care about these.

Instead, begin to prepare for the ritual of praying for rain.

The art of praying for rain is not a profound spell, although it has certain requirements for Taoism, but it is not high.

It is often seen how deep the relationship between the person who practices the Dharma and the heavenly immortals.

This point naturally has to be regarded as the ancestor of the legal person, and the relationship in heaven is not hard.

Therefore, when those holy land sects pray for rain, there are almost no failures, and those small and medium-sized sects, which do not have such a strong relationship, can only increase tribute, flattery and other means to increase the success rate of praying for rain.

In addition, it is necessary to see the sincerity of the legal person.

Even the Confucian book "The Mean" is recorded in this, saying: "If my heart is right, then the heart of heaven and earth is also right; If my qi is smooth, then the qi of heaven and earth will also be smooth! ”

This kind of mental language.

And the specifics are extremely cumbersome.

Just what you need to prepare is not something that can be done in a day or two.

It is necessary to prepare a ceiling, one zhang and five feet high, one square pillar to be one zhang wide, a cloud ladder, ten new tables, a new chair, a chime, a bell, a square size incense burner, five vases, a pair of small urns, a pair of lanterns, five fire cores, five large water urns, five large buckets, two water beast tea bells, eighteen wine bells, and fruit offerings...... One golden drum flag, one bell trumpet, one black woman, one dragon woman.

There are dozens of things, big and small, and people.

Li Chengjing, who has never done this kind of scientific ritual, has a big head.

But fortunately, because this method of praying for rain is widely spread, even the human court will actually do it, and often pray for rain in times of drought, so Li Chengjing does not need to have a headache about how to collect these things.

When they learned about Li Chengjing's method of praying for rain, many princes and ministers looked at Li Chengjing as if they were looking at jokes.

After all, didn't they pray for rain in this way, just the effect? It's completely useless.

As the publicity of the matter became bigger and bigger, when the day of praying for rain began, the north gate of the capital was already full of people, standing on the head of the city, looking down, the heads of people were dense, like a black ocean.

Emperor Qing naturally arrived early, and the city was full of canopies and parasols of different grades, and the princes and ministers stood at the head of the city, looking curiously at the rain prayer platform below.

Li Chengjing put on a very gorgeous Ming and Huang gossip robe, standing under the altar, surrounded by eight respected veterans, one boy and one girl who belonged to the dragon, one holding a white Xiong Ji, one holding a newly made silver needle, and there were men and women who belonged to the dragon, men and women surnamed Lei, and dozens of strong men.

It's so noisy, it's not lively.

Huang Feihu looked at the altar and frowned, his brows furrowed.

Li Chengjing chose to do this place, which is not in harmony with the regulations, but there is a city here that can overlook everything, which is convenient for the Qing Emperor and the princes to have an unobstructed view, and it is also suitable for a large number of people to gather around.

The other occult cultivators used their own means and whispered.

Seeing that Li Chengjing did not comply with the regulations in many places, they each chuckled.

Some people even insinuated that Li Chengjing was worthy of being an evil cultivator, so unruly.

Li Chengjing kept looking up at the sky, his fingers in his hand kept pinching, counting the hours.

Just when everyone was waiting impatiently, Li Chengjing suddenly turned around and said, "This year is the Jiachen Dragon to control the water, and the Eastern Dragon God should be the main one." Wait for six people, please clean the water in the east first. ”

Then he pointed to six people and said: "Jiachen Qinglong belongs to water, take the water from the southern well this time, and use the water to make a fire wheel, you and the other six people, this take the water from the southern well." ”

Li Chengjing issued the order step by step.

Although the magistrate of Qingguo often prayed for rain, it was the first time for Emperor Qinghuang to see the rain prayer ceremony, so he asked curiously: "What is this Li Guoshi doing?" ”

Qiansu, who had been sitting on the lower right hand, immediately smiled and explained: "Hui, Your Majesty, this is the method of taking water from the five wells, you need to secretly combine the years and months, find the direction of the main dragon god, first take the well water of the main position, and then take the five well water in turn with the theory of the five elements." ……”

As a dragon girl, the art of praying for rain is almost instinctive for her, but due to the power of mana, she can't do enough rain to the capital.

Besides, Jiaolong is not liked by the sky, even if the silk has the ability to do it, he will not dare.

But it is still very easy to explain the law for Emperor Qing.

In the other nearby cabinets, the six ministers pricked up their ears to listen.

After all, they don't have many channels to know the details of this, so how can they let go of this opportunity.

Just after Li Chengjing arranged the manpower, he saw him from the hand of the attendant on the side, and as a result, a bowl mortar and some materials were put into the bowl mortar and drowned.

Qianxi immediately explained: "This should be a raw keel, and mica stone, two ingots of gold and ink......" Speaking of this, Qianxi paused for a moment, with a complicated look on his face, and then said: "Ordinary prayers for rain are replaced by ordinary snake bones, but now Li Guoshi should use Jiao keel, and the effect is naturally stronger......

When the grinding was done, two dragon boys and girls stepped forward, and one spat into the bowl.

"It's ambergris!" Silk went on to explain.

After Li Chengjing stirred briefly, he took the silver needle from the boy's hand, and recited in his mouth: "Pure white rooster, great bird, to the spirit, extremely morning, I am now in the Tao, do not destroy your life, take your spiritual blood, and turn it into gold essence." Haste as a law! ”

As he spoke, a needle pierced the cockscomb, and a column of blood spurted out of the wound and landed in the bowl mortar.

Then grind, put the bowl mortar in the boy's hand, with both hands, there will be an extra yellow rune paper and a water and fire pen, while drawing the talisman, while chanting: "Oriental dragon, to the spirit to the god induction, the holy through the ages, the spirit and the present, feel to God, should be in the people, I today please you with the holy water, drive the fog and clouds, bow down to the altar to inform, rain to help the people, urgent as the law!" ”
