Guo Zhen of the Danding faction is an alchemist enshrined in the imperial court, and on weekdays, he not only has to refine various Taoist pills for the nobles of the palace, but also prays for blessings, calculates luck, eliminates disasters, and asks for rain if there is a drought in a certain place.

This kind of thing is not something that ordinary cultivators can do.

You have to have real skills to be able to do it.

Guo Zhenneng's ability to mingle in the court is naturally not bad, this time the fire in the capital disturbed the official family, and the official family specially issued an order for Guo Jing to pray for rain and extinguish the fire.

And his approach to the stage, the spell of calling the wind and rain is indeed very effective.

It's just that every time the spell is about to be completed, I don't know why it works, and it's repeated several times.

This made Guo Zhen on the altar a little annoyed.

"What kind of evil demon Dao has broken the spell of the Poor Dao, this kind of fire has spread and the people of the capital have suffered countless deaths and injuries, and such a major cultivation event that accumulates merit must not be stopped?" Guo Zhen opened the Heavenly Eye with the magic sword in his hand and looked in the direction where the firelight came from.

I hope to be able to detect some demonic aura.

But although he saw some ghosts and Mao gods, those ghosts and gods were just waiting for the opportunity to steal incense, and they did not hinder the ability to rain.

Continuing to investigate, he also saw the traces of the Fire Spirit God, but the Fire Spirit God was only born in response to the fire, and it was impossible to stop the rain.

"Guo Zhenren, if you can't ask for this heavy rain again, half of the south of the city will be burned down. Li Xiuyuan said suddenly.

"Poor Dao naturally knows, why do you need to say more...... Hey, who are you to dare to appear near the altar of the poor road? Guo Zhen was suddenly surprised when he saw Li Xiuyuan.

But then he felt a dazzling stinging pain in Tianmu, and he was forced to close Tianmu in an instant and put away the spell.

But just now, he inadvertently flicked it, and he seemed to see this person's purple qi covering the top, shining in clear light, and there were even gold and black two-color lights on the left and right, which seemed to represent the heavens, earth, mountains and rivers, making people feel trembling and afraid.

"This kind of luck can even cover the eyes of heaven, and there is only one person in the world who has such luck...... The saint who appeared in the capital a few days ago is the saint who came out of the world. Guo Zhen's face changed slightly, and he had also paid attention to the movements in the capital in the Taoist temple.

Some time ago, the clear light reflected the south of the city, shining on a vision of the sky, and the day before yesterday, the thunder next to the canal, purple gas covered the top, there was a thunder god haunted to kill demons, and there was the manifestation of divine power to suppress ghosts.

Such a big movement, as long as you are not blind, you can know it.

"It turned out to be Lord Li of Yangzhou Thorn History, and Guo Zhen, a poor Dao, visited Lord Li. Guo Zhen immediately put away his face, and hurriedly bowed respectfully, showing his respect for this person.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Guo Zhenren, why should I be polite, I came here just because I saw thunder coming from here, and the heavy rain was about to fall, but I didn't expect it to be a real person casting a spell to ask for rain, but this heavy rain is not going to fall, why can't I ask for it?"

"Lord Li doesn't know, it's not that he doesn't do his best, but that the spell has failed, and I don't know what kind of evil it is hindering, and the heavy rain never falls, and if the heavy rain is requested, the evil must be killed. Guo Zhen said.

Li Xiuyuan muttered: "That being the case, can the real person know what evil is preventing the heavy rain from falling?"

Guo Zhenren also thought about it and said: "The rain on the poor road is to help the world and save the people, this is a great event with immeasurable merits, the real big demon and evil ghost will not be able to get along with such a great merit, the poor road feels that maybe this fire is secretly in line with the will of heaven, so the heavy rain has never been able to fall, and the poor road casts spells because of it."

For the sake of special providence, it has only failed. ”

"Is it providence again?" Li Xiuyuan said with a smile, "Since it is the will of heaven, why did I see a lot of red-robed ghosts and gods in the direction of the south of the city before, holding the command flag to direct the fire, and they manipulated the fire to let the fire spread, this should not be the will of heaven." ”

"That's the incarnation of the Fire Spirit God, but those ghosts and gods didn't stop the rain, Poor Dao is sure. Guo Zhen said.

Li Xiuyuan walked over at this moment and said, "In that case, why don't you let me try this rain?"

Guo Zhen's expression moved slightly: "Lord Li asks for rain?"

"Naturally, I know a little bit about the spell of asking for rain, and see if my prayer for rain will be blocked, if this is still the case, I believe that it is providence, not man-made. Li Xiu said from afar.

"It's really a shame that the poor Dao has meager skills, and if that's the case, then Lord Lao Li will take the stage to ask for rain. Guo Zhen replied.

He had no choice but to pin his hopes on this earthly saint.

I hope that his prestige can suppress the ghosts and gods and let this heavy rain fall, otherwise his identity as an alchemist will come to an end.

Guo Zhen walked down the altar sincerely, a little apprehensive in his heart, and he glanced towards the walls of the imperial city.

At this moment, above the walls of the imperial city.

Today's officials, as well as today's queens, as well as several princes, accompanied by ministers, watched Guo Zhenzhen take the stage not far away to ask for rain.

Zhao Guanjia originally thought that this matter of asking for rain was not difficult for Guo Zhenzhen, because there had been similar things before, and they were all very smooth.

"What's going on, Shicai is fine, the wind has risen, the clouds have risen, the thunder has sounded, there is a tendency to pour heavy rain, why did the wind stop and the clouds dispersed in the blink of an eye. An accompanying official on the side looked at the vision in the sky, and when he saw that the dark clouds had dispersed and the heavy rain did not fall, he was suddenly a little anxious and endured

I couldn't help asking.

"Official, you see that Guo Zhenzhen failed to ask for rain, he has given up and walked down from the altar. ”

Zhao Guan's family looked at the city wall with the support of the eunuchs, and his somewhat puffy pale face showed anger at this moment: "How can this be reasonable, doesn't he have the ability to call for wind and rain, why can't he even ask for a heavy rain in today's capital fire?

The sin of profit. ”

"National teacher, what about the national teacher? Send someone to tell the national teacher, I let him replace Guo Zhen and ask for rain on stage, if it can rain heavily, I will be rewarded. ”

The eunuch who immediately gave the order immediately trotted down the imperial city and went to deliver the order.

But at this moment, an accompanying official suddenly said: "Official, look, there is a person who has replaced Guo Zhenzhen on the altar." ”

"Is it a national teacher?" said Zhao Guanjia.

"No, the national teacher is still sitting in the carriage. ”

"That must be Guo Zhen's disciple, he begged for rain and wanted his disciples to replace him. Zhao Guanjia said.

"Official, that person is not a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe, but like a scholar, and I don't know why, the forbidden army on the side didn't stop this person. The accompanying official said.

Zhao Guanjia said: "If it is an irrelevant person, then blast it out, don't spoil the big thing of asking for rain, these scholars and literati are really hateful, I am afraid that I will be there again to preach the strange power of Zi Buyu, I am tired of hearing it." ”

He waved his hand, looking a little impatient.

But when the eunuch went to give the order again, Li Xiuyuan had already ascended the altar.

When he passed by Guo Zhen, Guo Zhen did not move, and whispered in ventriloquism: "Li Shengren beware, Poor Dao suspects that this fire is inseparable from the national teacher, there are not many people in the entire capital who can have such a way to do cloud and rain, and the providence he did was just what he used to deceive others."

That's just one side of the story. ”

When Li Xiuyuan heard this, his heart sank.

But Guo Zhen didn't say anything more, and just left the altar with a guilty face.

It's as if nothing had happened.

National Teacher?

Li Xiuyuan also had doubts before, such a fire was definitely not something that ordinary demons dared to make, and he couldn't figure out what the purpose of making such a fire was.

Because no matter how evil the millennium demon is, it is impossible for him to murder people so unscrupulously.

But whoever started the fire, heavy rain must be called to put it down.

Li Xiuyuan walked up to the altar at this moment, he didn't say much, just took a copper bowl from the side, and then stretched out his hand to point.

A clear spring bubbled up, and immediately filled the copper bowl.

He picked up the bowl of water and immediately spilled it.

Qing Shui did not land, but flew up to the nine heavens and disappeared into the sky.

"Your Majesty has decreed that the irrelevant scholar be driven down from the altar, that he should not be hindered from the great task of praying for rain. At this time, a eunuch ran over panting and passed the message.

The forbidden army under the altar froze for a moment, and then a commander of the forbidden army clasped his fists in response to the order, and immediately walked up to the altar with a team of men and horses, and went to drive the scholar away.

But as soon as the commander of the forbidden army stepped up to the altar.

In an instant, the wind was blowing fiercely, the dark clouds were rolling in the sky, and there was a feeling that the wind and rain had arrived, and with the sound of thunder, it seemed that a torrential rain was about to fall.

The commander was immediately stunned, and he saw that the Lord Li on the altar was not making trouble with the big matter of asking for rain, on the contrary, he was casting a spell to ask for rain.

It's just that the emperor's order is embarrassing, so he still walked up with people.

Li Xiuyuan frowned and looked at the sky at the moment, he had already cast the rain summoning technique, but he was not sure whether the rainstorm could fall.

But if his spells are useless, then all the spells for rain in the capital are probably useless.
