The emotions of the people were excited, and they looked in amazement at the phantom shadow swimming in the sky.

With a cool breeze, in front of everyone's eyes, the phantom of the dragon's body was like a wind, and like a dark cloud, and suddenly went straight into the Linglong Tower.

"Bell...... Clang...... Bell ......"

At the same time, the golden bell hanging on the top of the Linglong Pagoda did not ring itself, and such a vision caused the people to be stunned in disbelief.

On the top of the mountain, Zhao Qi, who saw all this in his eyes, said softly:

"River god, go, draw the water from the sky and water this land of foggy mountains. From now on, this place will be protected by you, the river god, and the people here must not suffer from a great drought again. ”

"Obey the decree of Taizu!"

As Zhao Qi's words fell, an illusory voice came from his ears.

Immediately after that, visible to the naked eye, in the incense burner in front of the river god's throne, the curling fragrance did not disperse but gathered, and above the god's seat, an imperceptible golden light flashed away.

The river god dragon king ascended to the sky and traveled in the nine clouds and rain!

……

At this moment, all the rivers in the entire Wushan County were surging with waves, and the clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker.

"Click!"

As a lightning bolt streaked across the sky, accompanied by thunder, a faint roar resounded through the heavens and the earth.

"Moo!"

The roar seemed real and illusory, echoing through the clouds and reaching the ground like a mosquito and a fly, but some people still heard it, and they couldn't help but look around and look blank.

"I seem to hear an inexplicable roar......"

But before these people could be shocked, the ticking sound began one after another, and a torrential downpour fell from the sky and poured on this long-arid land.

"Damn, it's raining!"

"It's raining! It's raining! ”

The excited voices of the people followed, and at this moment, no one hurriedly ran away to avoid the rain, but bathed in the heavy rain, and everyone was surprised.

They had just finished worshipping the river god when they saw the dragon shadow enter the tower, followed by a heavy rain.

All this cannot be explained clearly by the word coincidence.

It's a miracle.

However, even though everyone was surprised, everyone had been looking forward to this heavy rain for too long.

The citizens of the main cities spread their hands and stood in the heavy rain, looking at the increasingly gloomy cumulus clouds, smiling with joy.

Sitting in front of the arid land in the village, the old people who were frowning stood up one after another, looking at the farmer in the field with excitement.

They kept thanking God for the fact that the rain had not only dispelled the heat, but also saved them from a year's worth of hard work.

"Bell...... Clang...... Bell ......"

The seven floors are exquisite, and the golden bell at the top of the tower constantly emits a heavy sound.

With the ringing of bells throughout the eighteen districts, heavy rain came as scheduled.

The water level of the dry lake has risen, and the dead crops have regained their heads in the rain.

The people cheered in the heavy rain, and the person in charge of the related activities looked at the sky with a stunned face, and his heart was shocked.

"Could it be that this heavy rain is really requested by this ceremony?"

"There's no scientific basis at all."

"What kind of science does this need, can science explain many things?"

"Do you remember what Professor Li from Long Jun said before? He promised that there would be heavy rain falling, but he didn't expect it to come true! ”

It's hard not to think that something like this happened, is it the rain ceremony of this dragon king sacrifice that brought this rather strange heavy rain?

After all, the entire county has been hit by drought for more than a month, and before this heavy rain fell, the relevant departments did not issue any rain forecast.

From any point of view, the heavy rain falling is inexplicable, but it does solve the urgent needs of the citizens of Kiriyama County.

This carnival in the heavy rain lasted for a long time, and people didn't know that Zhao Qi on Nanshan was the reason for all this.

Surrounded by heavy rain, Zhao Qi breathed a long sigh of relief.

This heavy rain has saved countless lives, rejuvenated the dying crops, filled the dry riverbed again, and made the fish and shrimp happy.

In the clouds and mist, the phantom of the dragon's body can be faintly seen, and the heavy rain is getting heavier and heavier, accompanied by bursts of thunder.

On the top of Nanshan Mountain, the people were in the heavy rain for a long time, with bright smiles on their faces.

The citizens took out their mobile phones and wanted to take pictures of this rare scene, but when they looked at the video again, they found that the phantom that could be seen by the naked eye could not be seen in the video at all, like an illusion.

At this point, the river god of Wushan County has returned to its place, and the feng shui bureau where the white tiger raises its head has also a pagoda to stand to ensure the peace of eternity.

This huge layout made Zhao Qi dare not take it lightly, and he was not able to relax until now.

All the professors are proud to be a part of it.

After all, this heavy rain and this time to become gods also have their share of credit.

It is as if you have experienced a myth yourself, and every time you reminisce, you will feel excited, as if you are in a legend, and it is unforgettable.

A moment later, Zhao Qi's ears heard the old voice of the river god again:

"Taizu, the heavy rain has fallen ......"

Zhao Qi nodded with satisfaction, and the voice gradually disappeared.

Zhao Qi looked up at the magnificent seven-story octagonal exquisite pagoda in front of him, and said to the professors behind him:

"Now that this feng shui bureau has been completed, Wushan County, which is guarded by four elephants, will no longer be a place where demons can reach their fingertips.

The golden bell at the top of the tower does not ring, once it rings, it is a miracle of the river god.

Say hello to the local authorities and let them make this place as popular as possible.

Name this exquisite pagoda 'River Temple', otherwise if there is no incense, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no more drought and natural disasters. ”

"Understood!"

Li Tai nodded excitedly, he was once again shocked by what Zhao Qi had done.

After doing all this, Zhao Qi quietly left Wushan County, and quickly returned to Longjun County overtime.

Qin Tianjian was newly established, and he still had a lot of things to do.

The heavy rain rained for three days and three nights, announcing the official disappearance of the drought in Kiriyama County.

With the news of the heavy rain in Wushan County appearing on the Internet, the already hot topic has skyrocketed.

The topics that almost everyone is talking about are:

[This heavy rain, is it the dragon king's sacrifice? 】

[River God, Dragon King, Does It Really Exist......]

……

On the night of Zhao Qi's departure, Fengshentai was evacuated overnight, and all traces of Fengshen disappeared in the heavy rain.

After the Casting City Division completed the finishing work on the construction side, it took the lead in returning to Longjun with Zhao Qi.

The professors of the Folklore Department, after holding a meeting with the leaders of the Folk Culture Administration of each major city, also quietly evacuated from Kiriyama County.

Everything seems to have never happened, but the doubts that linger in everyone's hearts are not easy to dissipate.

In the meeting rooms of the Folk Culture Administration of each main city, almost every leader asked the professor of the Folklore Department:

"This heavy rain really has nothing to do with this ceremony?"

All the professors have long been unified, and their attitudes are surprisingly unanimous:

"Of course it doesn't matter, haven't we all had a meeting to discuss it before, it's just an ordinary folk cultural activity......"

Although the professors are gone, these high-level people are still skeptical.

Also puzzled by this was the Kiriyama County Meteorological Bureau, where a group of staff members frowned in the conference room.

On the large screen directly in front of the conference room, the data movement of the Cumulonimbus cloud appeared.

Under normal circumstances, it takes a while for cloud cumulonim to rain.

But this heavy rain in Kiriyama County, the speed of cloud cumulacus is outrageous.

In just a few minutes, the weather value that was originally zero rainfall suddenly increased, and a rainstorm took less than five minutes from the accumulation of clouds to the fall, and even the forecast time was not given.

Without any cold air, it is equivalent to forcibly opening a river in the arid desert.

The staff had been studying this strange data for two days, and they still couldn't say why.

"I suspect there's a thunderbolt in the clouds."

However, compared to the officials in these departments, the people are very happy.

After three days and three nights of heavy rain, the temperature finally returned to normal, and the rhythm of life in the city is gradually returning.

Although the people were also puzzled by this sudden heavy rain, they preferred to believe that this was the manifestation of the river god.

After all, there is no such coincidence in the world, the Dragon King Festival has just ended, and as the dragon body phantom enters the tower, it will be followed by a torrential rainfall.

At that time, everyone on Nanshan had such an idea.

Many of these people were once staunch atheists, but after experiencing such a strange thing firsthand, their minds had already changed.

Kiriyama County has become a hot city on the Internet.

A dragon king sacrifice is known to everyone for hundreds of miles.

In particular, the heavy rain that followed filled in a little bit of doubt for the already mysterious Wushan County.

The topics that occupy the top of the hot search list in the past few days are all about Wushan County, and its popularity remains high, bringing great attention to the entire city.

[Wushan County Dragon King Festival, begging for heavy rain to break the natural disaster. 】

[Kiriyama County, a city blessed by the river god. 】

[Nanshan Pagoda, many people claim to see the dragon in the clouds and mist......]

These eye-catching headlines, although they have a strong headline party atmosphere, are telling the truth this time.

As soon as you open the relevant topic, you can almost see netizens all over the country eagerly discussing this matter.

Some people have ambiguous attitudes and mean something, and some people have resolute beliefs and insist that it is a coincidence. Under the controversy, the topic is getting hotter and hotter, but there is still no accurate answer.

"I think there is such a coincidence, the things handed down by the ancestors must be reasonable."

"Upstairs means that you believe in a dragon king, please find it out and I'll take a look!"

"Ask the dragon king, I want to raise."

"Today's live broadcast is fake, please believe in science!"

"Don't lift the bar, there are some things that can't be explained by science. Many people said that they saw a dragon soaring in front of the newly built tower in Nanshan, and then it rained heavily, so it can't be fake. ”

"It could be a mirage-like illusion caused by the rapid rise in the humidity of the Cumulus clouds, anyway, I don't believe there are river gods, dragon kings and anything like that in this world."

The vast majority of all the comments are this kind of self-feeling argument, but I don't know that this kind of confrontation between different positions and even completely different core ideas is not even a debate, at most it can only be called a mutual spray.

But if you patiently look at the comments below, you can also see some people who are really sober, and they say the most thought-provoking heavenly opportunity in one sentence.

"Don't you think it's strange, why do you suddenly want to build a pagoda on Nanshan Mountain, even though Wushan County is suffering from a major drought? I think what we should really think about is what is the purpose of this? Official, absolutely do not do useless things! There are some things that the common people don't know, but will the state know better? ”

Below the comment, a group of sober netizens expressed their respective views, not standing on any angle, but just extending and imagining the event itself.

"If I am the county guard of Kiriyama County, the huge project that is worthy of my mobilization of the cooperation of various main cities must be based on solving this natural disaster problem. Otherwise, the people of the capital will be bored, what kind of urban infrastructure is there to talk about? ”

"That's right, so for Kiriyama County, the establishment of this pagoda has an extremely important role. If it is built on this basis, it is difficult for me not to make associations, the construction of the pagoda and the dragon king sacrifice ceremony are all planned steps for a long time, in order to probably end this prayer for rain......"

The discussion on the Internet has been going on for a long time, everyone has a different idea, and nothing has come of it except to stir up the topic.

But the senior leaders of Wushan County have been paying close attention to the news on the Internet, and they really feel a little headache about the increasing popularity.

"Professor Li, you have also seen that the Internet is now talking about Wushan County. What the hell is going on, why does it rain just like it falls, is it really just a coincidence? ”

The county guard looked at Li Tai, who stayed in the aftermath of Wushan County and did not leave with the others, with a wrong face, eager to get an answer from his mouth.

But in this regard, Li Tai shook his head with a smile as always.

The moment they joined Qin Tianjian, Zhao Qi made public the ten-year plan to let all the participants know what they wanted to achieve.

Now is the first stage of the plan, and it is far from the time to make these things known to the people and lead them into the spiritual practice.

For the sake of unnecessary social panic, everything needs to be prepared and waited before the layout of Qin Tianjian is completed.

Therefore, for these officials who have nothing to do with the development of the plan, Li Tai did not tell the truth.

He knew very well that even if he explained truthfully, he still couldn't answer the doubts in the other party's heart.

Changing people's views will take a long time.

Instead of causing yourself more trouble and wasting time explaining that it is pointless for half a day, it is better to pretend to be confused.

"County guard, this matter doesn't need to be thought about too much, whether it's a coincidence or destined, you and I can't say.

You care more about what you want people to believe than the truth, and the reason why I'm here is to help you. ”

Hearing this, the county guard immediately frowned curiously, and Li Tai continued to say softly when he saw this:

"The popularity of Wushan County is so high right now that hundreds of thousands of people are participating in the discussion of related topics on the Internet.

Rather than dwelling on whether their discussions will have a negative impact, you can go with the flow and promote the city.

Since everyone is curious about the pagoda built on Nanshan and is also puzzled by the arrival of this heavy rain, then they must also be willing to come and see it for themselves, right? ”

When the county keeper heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up:

"Professor Li, what do you mean ......?"

Li Tai nodded:

"That's right, take advantage of the opportunity to develop Nanshan into a scenic spot, and the iconic attraction is the river temple on the top of this mountain.

Then develop more scenic activities related to folk customs to create a characteristic folk culture tourism city.

The popularity is there, the topic is there, and you don't even need to do too much publicity to bring great benefits to the entire Wushan County, so why not? ”

Li Tai's words really aroused the curiosity of the county guard, but it was not until Li Tai left the office that the county guard remembered.

Until now, Li Tai hadn't told him why Longjun had sent people to build this river temple in particular?

……

Soon after, Nanshan was blocked again, and the news of building a Nanshan folk culture tourist attraction soon spread on the Internet through everyone's attention to Wushan County.

Because Nanshan itself has a very good natural ecology, and the positioning of this place is not an amusement scenic spot, but a natural scenery and folk culture scenic spot, so there is no need to move too much engineering in the construction.

"Nanshan River Temple Scenic Area Open ......"

originally relied on such a high degree of attention, so that after the official notice of the Wushan County Tourism Administration was issued, the whole network was instantly exploded.

In line with the principle of clean water and the first month, local citizens have rushed to Nanshan from various major cities.

I haven't seen it for a short time, and this Nanshan area has a scenic atmosphere.

After passing through the ticket gates, you will find a tree-lined mountain road leading to the top of the mountain.

Along the way, there are also a lot of tourism products, such as snacks, souvenirs and other things.

Although it is still in the process of attracting investment, it is not difficult to see that it will be a prosperous place in the future.

In a short period of time, there were people on the mountain road, and there was a grand occasion of incense on that day.

Most of the people who came to the scenic spot were also present when the incense was made on the day, and they all saw the dragon shadow entering the pagoda, so they had special respect for this place.

Crossing the stone gate with the word dragon gate written on it, it is considered to have officially entered the scenic spot.

There are also many workers on both sides of the mountain to maintain the ancient trees and build railings to prevent tourists from climbing over and disturbing the "aborigines" in the mountain.

Tourists are curious to enjoy the surrounding scenery, and before they know it, they have come to the mountain along the mountain road.

Because Li Tai had said hello in advance, the construction team of the renovation scenic spot did not move the pagoda at all, so there was no change.

However, the door of this temple has been opened, and a stall selling incense tributes has been set up next to it.

Some of these citizens bought incense sticks, some bought tribute, and worshiped it on the throne of the river god.

Although they don't say it, they are more willing to believe in their hearts that the heavy rain that saved the people from fire and water was the manifestation of the river god.

After the worship, the visitors walk up the stairs towards the tower.

The winding staircase spirals upward, but after a moment of oppression, each floor brings a completely different view.

In front of the two-story tower is the mountain forest slowly, and the birds are singing.

Further up is the nearby tower, and the lights are bright in the distance.

These different landscapes attract tourists to stop, but it is only at the top that you get a sense of what it is like to overlook the mountains.

Standing at the top, the sky above you seems to be at your fingertips.

From here, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city in the south, and the river mouth is far away.

The evergreen mountains and the rushing water form a beautiful landscape picture of the combination of stillness and movement.

At the same time, there is also a special fun activity to ring the golden bell on the top of the tower.

The official website of the Tourism and Culture Administration describes it as follows:

"Nanshan is a quiet treasure pagoda, and the golden bell welcomes the sun.

Hundreds of people rang the bell and did not ring, and the river god showed the holy side to ......"

Many tourists also came because of this strange bell, and they climbed to the top of the tower to ring the golden bell.

But the bell and pestle hit the golden bell, and there was no sound at all, and the dull feel was as if it had hit a stone.

This makes many out-of-town tourists feel strange, and more and more comments about 'hanging dumb bells in the river temple' have gradually appeared on the Internet.

But every now and then, the local citizens will stand up very tacitly.

"The golden bell of the River Temple, many of us have heard the bell, not a dumb bell."

"Don't talk nonsense, outsiders, we were incense on Nanshan that day, and we saw the dragon shadow enter the pagoda, and then the bell rang. Therefore, this bell can only be struck by the river god. ”

Although the controversy was great, the name of the strange bell still attracted a large number of tourists to Kiriyama County.

In just one month, the number of tourists in Nanshan Scenic Area alone exceeded the total number of daily tourists in other scenic spots.

The local leaders also did not expect that a river temple would usher in a second spring for the tourism industry in Wushan County.

The hotels around the Nanshan Scenic Area are full almost every day, and it is difficult to find a room.

As a result, a lot of funds have been brought in to start building tourism derivative industries at the foot of Nanshan.

Nanshan, which was originally unknown, was once on the list of 'the best check-in places in the country' because of the River Temple.

Subsequently, the local tourism and cultural bureau cooperated with the folk culture administration to jointly organize a series of folk activities in the Nanshan Scenic Area, including the Dragon King Festival.

So far, Nanshan Scenic Area has been completely built into one of the famous folk culture scenic spots in the country.

Gradually, there were fewer and fewer online posts discussing the heavy rain, but more and more topics about the River Temple.

"Sisters, the Nanshan River Temple in Wushan County is too spiritual, my dad is a crew member, and I am used to going to the temple every time he goes to sea to ask for a signature.

When I came back to travel to Wushan County, I asked for a charm at the River Temple, but my dad was on the search boat that night and encountered a strong storm and waves.

It stands to reason that it is impossible to be okay with such a big wind and waves, but this boatload of people came back safe and sound.

Later, when the ship was inspected, the control system had already burned down, and it was impossible to drive it back.

Even the captain couldn't figure out what was going on. ”

"Who understands the family, did the river god of Wushan County rob the old man of the moon?

It was said that the river temple worked, so I went to ask for marriage, and I had a boyfriend within a few days.

Later, when I asked, my boyfriend also asked for marriage at the River Temple! ”

"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway, since the River Temple was built, we haven't had any accidents when we go out to fish!"

More and more comments appeared, making the River Temple's reputation far and wide.

Since then, the incense of the river temple has continued to flourish and become more and more prosperous.

It's just that the golden bell on the tower doesn't ring on weekdays, but every time it rings unexpectedly, heavy rain will fall soon after.

Every time the local elders hear the bell ringing, they will tell the children to collect their clothes.

The children asked curiously, and the old people always said with a smile:

"When the river god rings the bell, it is about to rain, which is a reminder that we need to collect our clothes......"

There is one more shift tonight, a little later.
