A high platform made entirely of timber was built in a square. Beneath the platform is a torch soaked in oil, and if someone lights the torch, the wooden platform can be reduced to ashes in an instant.

"Someone, invite Sanzang to the wooden platform and ask him to ask for rain!" Lu Shifang ordered his subordinates. Then Tang Yuan and Wu Gang were taken to the wooden platform.

At this time, a large number of onlookers were scattered around the square, and people already knew that the governor wanted to try the Sanzang Buddha, whether he really had the ability to communicate with the gods. But how can it be so simple to ask for rain, it is extremely difficult to rain in the Western Regions because of the terrain, how can it be said that it will rain as soon as it falls?

And I heard that the Sanzang Buddha only has three days, and if he can't ask for rain in three days, he will be regarded as a demon monk and burned alive.

Tang Yuan walked towards the wooden platform step by step, and after walking to the middle of the wooden platform, he sat cross-legged, closing his eyes and contemplating like an old monk.

And Wu Gang on the side followed Tang Yuan closely at any time, guarding him like a yellow turban Hercules.

On the other side of the square, there were rows of seats, on which sat high-ranking officials from the Western Regions, with Lu Shifang as the center, pointing at Tang Yuan who was sitting on the high platform.

"Your Excellency the Governor is so clever. A petty official smiled flatteringly, patted the horse to Lu Shifang and said, "Let this Sanzang ask for rain just to prove that he is a demon monk, if he can't ask for rain within three days, we can burn him openly, and Buddhism has nothing to say." ”

After the little official finished speaking, his face turned into a chrysanthemum, in his opinion, this sentence of horse shooting was simply amazing, he lowered his head and waited for Lu Shifang's praise. But after waiting for a long time, he couldn't hear Lu Shifang's voice, and the junior official raised his head and saw the governor with a stern face.

"This Sanzang. It's not easy. A white-clothed staff member next to Lu Shifang said, "We collected the information of Leiyin Temple, and found that Leiyin Temple may really have Buddhist relics." ”

"And then?" Lu Shifang squinted and glanced at the white-clothed staff. "You mean to let Sanzang go and acknowledge his influence?"

"The subordinates don't dare. The white-clothed staff said, "The subordinates don't mean that." ”

"Sanzang can't be put down. Lu Shifang pondered for a while, and then said for a long time, "After a full understanding in the past few days, this governor also knows that this Leiyin Temple is a regular Buddhist temple. This Sanzang is not suspected of demagoguery. Moreover, they are indeed very different from ordinary Buddhist temples. ”

"Then why does the governor still embarrass him?" the white-clothed staff was stunned for a moment, puzzled, "Could it be that the governor is really angry and wants to make a bet with this Sanzang?"

"Ben Governor doesn't have that eye yet. Lu Shifang said disdainfully. "It's not that I deliberately embarrassed Sanzang, but there are some things that I have to do. ”

"The subordinates are stupid, and please make it clear to the governor. ”

"Sitting in a high position like us, we can't simply judge whether things are good or bad, but we should look at the long-term. Lu Shifang looked at the white-clothed staff and said, "For example, this Sanzang, even if he is not a demon monk." You can't spare him lightly, do you know what the reason is?"

"The subordinates are ashamed, they really don't know. The white-clothed staff said ashamedly.

"The Sanzang of Leiyin Temple has too many believers. In terms of influence, it has surpassed the government in the northwest region, and even has a tendency to continue to influence the entire Western Regions. Lu Shifang sighed and said, "For the sake of the stability of my Great Jin, even if Sanzang is really a Buddha, then he can't be allowed to develop like this." ”

"The court cannot tolerate one. Threatening the scumbag of the Holy Lord's rule. Even if this person is a son of a Buddha of Buddhism, even if he has great compassion, he can't!"

Tang Yuan sitting on a wooden platform. Naturally, he didn't know the thoughts of the high-ranking officials in the Western Regions, and he was communicating with the system at this time.

"Does the host use the ability to change the weather?"

"Yes!" Tang Yuan chose to be sure.

"The host uses the ability to change the weather. Failed to change the weather!Zero abilities that can be used today!"

Failed.

The reason why Tang Yuan had the confidence to bet with Lu Shifang was because he had the ability to change the weather, and he had a chance every day. In Tang Yuan's view, there are three chances in three days, although there is only a 20% success rate each time, but three chances should be able to make it rain in the heavens once.

However, now it seems that he was overthinking, and the request was declared a failure on the first day.

"Wu Gang, let's go down. Tang Yuan sighed. The ability has already been used, and there is no fun in staying on this wooden platform.

Wu Gang didn't say a word, and followed Tang Yuan down the wooden platform.

"Sanzang, why did you come down?" Waiting for Tang Yuan to walk down the wooden platform, Lu Shifang asked a little question, "Your prayer for rain is over?"

"That's the end of today's prayer for rain. Tang Yuan said, "The poor monk will continue tomorrow." ”

After speaking, Tang Yuan stopped talking to those officials and walked towards the residence provided by Lu Shifang. Walking to the edge of the square, the crowd of onlookers next to him kept squeezing forward excitedly and greeted Tang Yuan one after another.

"Are you the Sanzang Buddha?" said an old man who had never seen Tang Yuan in surprise, he didn't expect Tang Yuan to be so young.

"Sanzang Buddha, we support you! I believe that the Buddha will bless you and help you in the next Ganlin!" the rest of the people shouted with their arms thrown at their hands. Tang Yuan was already a holy existence in their hearts, and they believed that the Sanzang Buddha would definitely get through the difficulties.

Tang Yuan greeted the crowd with a smile, and then went to the place where he lived under the leadership of the officers and soldiers.

"You've all seen it. Lu Shifang stared at Tang Yuan's back and said to the officials around him, "This is not the northwest region of Sanzang, but he still has a large number of believers in Sanzang. Now you understand why Ben Doge should be him. ”

"Yes, indeed. The white-clothed staff on the side nodded, and said sternly, "The influence of this Sanzang is indeed too strong.

The next day.

Tang Yuan still sat on the wooden platform, took a deep breath and began to communicate with the system, but the result was disappointing.

Changing the weather, still failed.

Tang Yuan was helpless, this kind of thing completely depended on luck, and Tang Yuan was speechless after two failures in a row. It stands to reason that the 20% chance is not low, but this time it didn't work out either.

When Tang Yuan walked off the wooden platform again, although he was still calm, the people who were watching were anxious. Sanzang Buddha has failed to pray for rain twice in a row, tomorrow is the last chance, if tomorrow's prayer for rain fails, then Sanzang Buddha is really dangerous!

Because if you fail to ask for rain, you will be burned alive.

The high-ranking officials in the Western Regions led by Lu Shifang treated them coldly, and now Lu Shifang has determined that Tang Yuan is just a false Buddha and has no real skills. But Tang Yuan's influence is there, Leiyin Temple still has a large number of believers, and this Sanzang still can't be put down!

"Sanzang, Sanzang, if you still can't ask for rain tomorrow, then don't blame Bendu for burning you to death!" Lu Shifang muttered, "Who let you have such a great influence in the Western Regions, even greater than the Holy Lord, this qiē is all your own fault!"
