Chapter 105: The Rain Comes!
The words of reprimand came to his lips, but he did not spit them out.
Yan Song didn't object to his cultivation of immortals, but only accused Tao Zhongwen of pretending to be a ghost, but this time it invisibly extinguished the emperor's anger - what he was really angry about was always the opposition of his courtiers to his pursuit of immortality.
But Tao Zhongwen didn't do it, and he was weak-hearted, so he could only cover it up with anger. A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said coldly:
"Yan Shoufu, since you said this, you must have the certainty of asking for rain. Please come on stage and pray for the rain for me! β
In his eyes, this sentence will be a lore, a meteorological master like him can't grasp the weather, let alone Yan Song?
However, Yan Song also seemed to be stimulated by him, and immediately blurted out:
"Good! Your Majesty, please give it a try! β
Tao Zhongwen was stunned for a moment, he felt that this Shoufu's head was not broken at this time, and Jiajing also frowned:
"Aiqing, don't say these nonsense...... Month...... Wait, wait! β
However, Yan Song's attitude was extremely firm, and Tao Zhongwen on the side also helped when he saw this.
He figured it out, if Yan Song also failed, it would bring out his ability, after all, he had caused a dark cloud.
Yan Song? What can he do?
In this way, Emperor Jiajing hesitated for a moment and agreed.
However, unexpectedly, Yan Song did not choose to pray for rain here.
He took a group of people back to the city, and finally came to the temple of King Jingping.
"How can it be successful to pretend to be a god and a ghost and a random altar in the countryside? Only when you go to the place where the gods are truly favored can you have a chance to get the gift! β
Yan Song stood in front of the temple and said loudly, and Tao Zhongwen was stunned when he heard this, and he was indignant in his heart, but he didn't expect that the other party would not forget to belittle him at this time.
However, thinking that the more rampant he is now, the worse his end will be, Tao Zhongwen's face couldn't help but cross a smile.
The people who practice these practices know better than anyone whether there are immortals in the world, so he is not flustered.
I had heard that the Yan clan revered their ancestor, but I didn't expect it to come to such a blind step, which was more than Jiajing! He sneered in his heart, ready to watch this Shoufu throw away his life here today.
No one will be able to rain today, I said!
Zhu Houxi's brows also furrowed slightly, he had seen the "Legend of the Ming Heroes", and naturally felt that Yan Ling's reputation was mostly falsely spread by the people, and the so-called various miraculous deeds before, he felt that most of them were artistic, and he suddenly felt that this Shoufu was messing around, if it weren't for his chief immortal master to help, he wouldn't let Yan Song come out.
Although the people revere Yan Ling, after all, Tao Zhongwen really succeeded in asking for rain, and Yan Ling regarded him more as a legendary figure, and at this time, the voices of doubt were continuous.
Hearing the questioning voices around him, Yan Song just smiled indifferently:
"It's just that you're not sincere."
Directly fired the map cannon, which immediately shocked the masses, and the dissatisfaction in Jiajing's eyes gradually increased, he didn't understand, how did Yan Shoufu, who was plain and steady, become so Meng Lang today.
Casually waved his hand and agreed to Yan Song's request, he leaned back in his chair, completely lacking the dignity of Tao Zhongwen when he begged for rain.
Yan Song was not disturbed by these, he strode forward, and finally asked Tao Zhongwen:
"The Dragon King really won't come?"
Tao Zhongwen replied loudly:
"Nope! At least for more than a month, you can ask for rain again! β
A smile crossed the corner of Yan Song's mouth, and he walked straight to the huge statue of King Jingping.
Offering incense and sacrificing animals are all the same.
Then he began to recite the prayers.
Tao Zhongwen stood quietly aside, and even yawned, these were all leftovers from his play.
It would be strange if I could ask for rain...... Bang!
A thunderclap rang out in the sky.
Everyone in the hall raised their heads, it was ...... Thunder?
Really begging for rain?
They looked out of the hall in unison, only to see a bolt of lightning streak across the sky, accompanied by another earth-shattering roar!
Emperor Jiajing's eyes widened, and Tao Zhongwen's lips trembled.
No, no, how can these things work...... yes, I didn't just come to the clouds!
He comforted himself in his heart.
However, the reality was that he was disappointed, and he only heard that shortly after the thunder ended, there were a few sparse "pops" sounds, followed by dense "crackling"!
At this time, Yan Song happened to finish reciting the prayer, and he turned to look outside the hall with his hands behind his back.
In the distance in the Chen Guogong Mansion, Yan Ling was standing on top of a tall building, waving a command flag in his hand, which was exactly what Jiajing got when he ascended the throne.
γSi Tianqiγ
[It can be dispatched to intervene in the weather of one party and avoid natural disasters]
[Scope limit: 10,000 square kilometers]
[The cooldown time for each region change is one month.] γ
Yan Ling had been using it to manipulate the weather in his hometown before, blessing the wind and rain over there, but now he decisively changed the region and used it on the side of the Jingshi.
And the effect is remarkable, every time the flag is waved, the lightning is more dazzling, and the rain is more abundant!
Outside the temple, heavy rain poured down!
Someone turned and rushed into the rain, feeling the wetness that flowed all over his body, and he exclaimed excitedly:
"It's raining, it's raining!"
A burst of surprise erupted among the people in the hall, and the ministers straightened their necks to look out of the hall, and even Emperor Jiajing stood up violently and looked out of the hall with disbelief.
It's really raining, but how is it possible!
Yan Song didn't know too much, he was definitely not a cultivator, so it could only be a favor from this immortal.
Could it be, could it be, that Yan Ling, no, King Jingping's ascension to immortal is not a folk legend, it is a fact? Including the previous gale or something, it's all true?
And compared to Shao Yuanjie and Tao Zhongwen, who needed to wait for dozens of days or even a month or two to the auspicious day of the zodiac before they could ask for rain, and failed, it was only a quarter of an hour of sacrifice here, and they begged for rain, and they made a judgment!
The pouring rain accompanied by the earth-shaking thunder shook everyone's hearts, and this unprecedented torrential rain made everyone more convinced that it was the gift of the immortals!
Emperor Jiajing clenched his fists, his palms were full of sweat, but his heart was pounding excitedly, he felt that he had encountered a real miracle today!
Sure enough, there are immortals, and there is immortality! There is nothing wrong with my path!
Looking at the statue, his eyes were full of fanaticism!
The faces of the people were also full of shock and surprise, this was a real miracle, more real than Tao Zhongwen. At this time, Shao Tianshi and Tao Tianshi had already been thrown aside, and there was only one person in their eyes, that is, King Jingping, who lived in the temple!
I don't know who knelt down first and bowed to the statue, and the people next to them did the same, and all the beings bowed their heads for a while, and in the end, even many courtiers knelt down! Even if he had never believed in ghosts and gods Xia Yan, his eyes were full of surprise.
He had already guessed how the Tao Dao man called the wind and rain, but he really couldn't figure this out. Yan Song's sacrifice is a normal ancestor worship process, how long should a set of processes take, obviously not like Tao Zhongwen, waiting for time.
Could it be that there really are immortals?
He couldn't help but bend his knees slightly, only to feel that his worldview had been turned upside down.
At this time, there were few people still standing in the hall, and even Emperor Jiajing lowered his arrogant head and bent his body to show respect for the immortals!
After the salute, everyone stood up, still with reverence and shock in their eyes, and only one person was different.
Tao Zhongwen was already stunned at this time.
He repeatedly observed the weather outside, and muttered:
"Impossible, how can there be rain at this time, impossible! Just now, now, God, you're playing with me, you're playing with me! β
And Yan Song saw that the time was ripe, and immediately pointed at him and said to Emperor Jiajing:
"Your Majesty, don't be deceived by him, this person won't ask for rain at all!"
"His so-called praying for rain is just relying on watching the heavens to seek time and placing sacrifices, so as to deceive His Majesty, those things that he succeeds in praying for rain, even without him, there will still be rain!"
"Your Majesty, you see, the real person has delayed for half a month and has not done anything, today this auspicious day of the zodiac has arrived, and he excused himself to say that the dragon prince is not there, and there will never be rain, in the final analysis, he just saw the wrong weather, and saw that it could not rain, so he had to fool Your Majesty!"
"The rain of the fairy gods does not need any hour at all, as long as you are sincere, it can rain at any time!"
Emperor Jiajing recovered from the shock, he was also an extremely smart person, thinking about Yan Song's words, he suddenly felt -
Seemingly, it's not impossible.
Qin Tianjian has the art of astronomy, but it is not as accurate as Tao Zhongwen, but there are many strange people among the people, and it is not impossible for some long-standing mountain and forest temples to have a more reliable method of observing the weather.
"Open the river, open the river!" Tao Zhongwen shouted loudly, but his voice was extremely hoarse and unconfident.
In normal times, Emperor Jiajing might not have believed Yan Song's words for the sake of trusting him for so many years, but at this time, it is very special.
As soon as he succeeded, just before this temple dedicated to the immortals, he faced the revelations of his descendants, and the reason was very convincing.
The buffs are stacked all over again!
