Chapter 185: Little Daoist 7
Liu Hiiragi's master and apprentice didn't know that their home was stolen not long after they left Beijing.
If they knew, the two would only be happy.
With such a Xuanzhen Dao Master, the emperor would not keep an eye on them.
Will they be able to resign from the emperor and leave the palace?
Alchemy, you say?
They could teach the method of refining the Body Strengthening Pill and the Condensing Divine Pill to the Xuan Zhen Dao Master or the imperial physician in the palace who was interested in learning alchemy.
Zeyang Zhenren is not rare to get the wealth and power of the palace, he just wants to leave the capital, which is a place of right and wrong, return to the small Taoist temple of Zhongnan Mountain, and concentrate on cultivation.
The two didn't know everything in the capital, and they hurried day and night along the way, and came to Yuzhou as fast as possible.
The governor of Yuzhou received Zeyang Zhenren.
He was very polite on the surface, but both Zeyang Zhenren and Liu Hiiragi could see that the governor didn't have much affection for them.
In fact, many officials in the capital are the same as the governor of Yuzhou.
They are all believers in "Zi Bu Silent Strange Power Confusion", but they don't believe that Zeyang Zhenren really has any ability.
They thought that Zeyang Zhenren was just a skilled doctor, and the elixir he refined was just a pill specially developed by him on the emperor's body, and he had no other skills, so he was a liar.
The governor didn't believe that Zeyang Zhenren could really make it rain.
But because of the emperor's order, he had to respectfully greet Zeyang Zhenren and cooperate with his prayer for rain.
As for the final rain prayer ceremony, but it didn't rain, it was Zeyang Zhenren's problem, and it had nothing to do with him.
"Real person, when can I pray for rain?" The governor asked.
Zeyang Zhenren: "Three days later." ”
Governor: "Can't it be earlier?" The people are looking forward to praying for rain as soon as possible, and it will rain sooner. They can't afford to wait. ”
Zeyang Zhenren sighed lightly: "Poor Dao also wants to pray for rain as soon as possible, but before praying for rain, there is still a lot of preparation to be done." Otherwise, you can't pray for rain. ”
The governor frowned, feeling that Zeyang Zhenren was taking Qiao again, and asked, "What are the preparations of Zhenren?" The officer can ask someone to help. ”
He thought that Zeyang Zhenren would say that he wanted to fast and bathe or something, weren't the other Taoists so foolish? will definitely pass the buck and will not let himself interfere.
But he heard Zeyang's true humanity: "Thank you so much." Please send twenty of my men to my disciples, and let them do what I command. ”
Governor: "......"
This Taoist priest does not play cards according to the card!
The governor didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zeyang's real gourd, so he decided to wait and see, and really sent twenty people to Liu Hiiragi.
Liu Hiiragi asked the first of the twenty people: "What's your name?" ”
The man: "Subordinate Zhang Yi." ”
Zhang Yi is not the governor's subordinate, but the head catcher of the government office, and those twenty are his subordinates, the government officials.
The governor did not send his cronies to Liu Hiiragi, not wanting his cronies to be implicated because of the failure to pray for rain.
Liu Hiiragi: "Where is the prayer platform?" ”
Zhang Yi: "I'll lead the way." ”
Liu Hiiragi: "Let your men bring hoes." ”
Zhang Yi: "Huh? ”
Liu Hiiragi pointed to the box he brought: "By the way, bring this box of things." ”
Zhang Yi: "?? ”
Although he was puzzled, Zhang Yi still asked his subordinates to bring hoes and boxes.
The group went out of town.
The prayer platform is ten miles outside the city, and it is very empty.
Liu Hiiragi looked around, observed the terrain, and had an idea in his heart.
He took out a compass from his sleeve - although without a compass he could also measure where the formation was properly arranged, but with a compass it could also be more precise - to determine where all the nodes of the formation were.
With the rain prayer platform as the center of the array, Liu Hiiragi arranged seven large nodes around it, and added the rain prayer platform in the center of the array to form the shape of Bi Xing.
Bi Xing, also known as Bi Naksha, is the fifth of the Seven Nakshatras of the White Tiger in the West.
Bjubarb has a priesthood, that is, the rain master, who is in charge of the rain in the world.
Liu Hiiragi asked Zhang Yi and his men to bury the largest jade stones in these eight locations.
Zhang Yi looked at the high-quality jade, and only felt that Liu Hiiragi was ruining things, but he had to do what Liu Hiiragi ordered.
Anyway, the jade is not his, and the waste is none of his business.
Liu Hiiragi took out the talismans that he and Zeyang Zhenren had made overtime along the way, and put them on the other three hundred points determined by the compass.
These 300 points constitute the Bi Star Cluster.
This is not something that can be done in a day.
It takes a lot of time to determine the 300 points.
Therefore, Zeyang Zhenren will set the time for praying for rain three days later.
Zeyang Zhenren has not been idle for the past three days, but has seized the time to draw talismans.
A prayer for rain can not solve the drought problem in the whole territory of Yuzhou, at most it can only make it rain near the main city.
If you want the drought problem in the whole territory of Yuzhou to be solved, Zeyang Zhenren must go to all parts of Yuzhou and pray for rain a few more times.
Each prayer for rain consumes 300 talismans......
Is Zeyang real person not allowed to work overtime?
Three days later, almost all the people in the main city of Yuzhou and nearby gathered at the place where the prayer platform was located, and the governor also arrived with the officials, standing under a canopy not far from the prayer platform.
Looking at the bright sun in the sky, the governor and the officials didn't think it could rain, and many people had the intention of seeing Zeyang's real jokes.
Zeyang Zhenren took Liu Hiiragi to the rain platform in the spotlight.
Zeyang Zhenren has been dedicated to cultivating the Tao for decades before, and he will not have the fancy process of ordinary Taoist priests.
He only indifferently recited the prayer for rain written by the governor to the heavens, and then used his spiritual power to stimulate the formation.
His spiritual power flowed from his feet into the jade below, activating the eye of the needle.
The formation eye is activated, and the entire formation is activated.
In the amazed eyes of everyone, a white pillar of light rose from the prayer platform and soared into the sky.
Then seven pillars of light of the same size also rose, and then three hundred pillars of light, much smaller, rose into the sky together.
These pillars of light converge in the sky into a pattern, a large bird with one foot bent.
Ordinary people did not know what this big bird was, and the readers, who knew some about myths and legends, cried out.
"It's a merchant sheep. Divine Bird Merchant Sheep! ”
"Confucius's Family Language: Dialectic": Qi has a one-legged bird, flies and gathers in the Gong Dynasty, stops in front of the palace, and jumps with wings. The Marquis of Qi blamed him, and made the envoy hire Lu and asked Confucius. Confucius said: The name of this bird is Shang Yang, and the water is auspicious. In the past, the children bent up one foot, vibrated and jumped with two eyebrows, and the rumor said: The sky will rain heavily, and the merchant sheep will be encouraged. Urgently tell the people to improve the ditches and build embankments, and there will be heavy rains. In an instant, the rain overflowed all the countries and harmed the people. Only be prepared and undefeated.
The governor and the officials also recognized Shang Yang, and they were shocked, and looked at the Taoist on the rain prayer platform, and their eyes changed.
This guy isn't even a liar?!
Is it really capable?!
And this rain ......
Can you really pray?!
