Chapter 155: Asking for Rain
The three of them followed those villagers all the way to a village, and looked at the dense crowd in front of the simple Longjun Temple, Zhao Tailin secretly shook his head. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The cacophony of voices in the crowd suddenly fell silent, and a group of people suddenly separated to make way for a way out.
Xuwen and the others looked in the direction of the road, and saw an old man with a group of people, holding a stick of incense and walking over with a solemn expression.
"Folks, this year's drought has almost no harvest. Therefore, the old man took people to Guyun Mansion to invite the statue of Longjun to bless our village with good weather every year for the rain." The old man walked to the Dragon Monarch Temple and turned to look at the dense crowd in front of him.
After speaking, they couldn't say loudly: "The land of the Five Mansions is too vast, although the Dragon Monarch has everything he needs, he will inevitably take care of one and lose the other."
"Therefore, when I invited the statue of Longjun, the old man promised to Lord Chen Qingchen. After all, the Dragon Monarch is busy with affairs, and it may rain a few days later, so we can't stop the sacrificial incense." The old man explained slowly to the crowd.
Zhao Tailin kept shaking his head when he heard this, this deception is too naïve. In his heart, if the matter of asking for rain cannot be asked for immediately, then it is just a pretext.
"In my humble opinion, I am afraid that this rain will not come." Zhao Tailin sighed at the two of them, and because he estimated the feelings of the villagers, he lowered his voice very low.
Yang Su showed a puzzled gaze and looked at Zhao Tailin: "Why are you so sure?"
"It's not that it's for sure, it's that this rain is too tiring. Since the prayer for rain does not respond immediately, then what is said after that is just a pretext." Zhao Tailin explained to Yang Su.
At the same time, he looked at the vein: "This kind of dragon monarch is demagogic to deceive people to get incense luck, don't worship it."
"Since we are here to watch, it is too early to draw conclusions at this time." A trace of displeasure rose in his heart, and he replied to Zhao Tailin.
Seeing that he didn't give up, Zhao Tailin smiled and didn't explain too much, pity me and other people who have a full stomach, and there are still people who pin this matter on the gods.
Yang Su saw the change in Zhao Tailin's expression, revealing a trace of unhappiness, and looked at the lines. Seeing that the lines slowly shook his head, he swallowed the words on his lips hard.
"I respectfully ask the dragon king to rain down nectar to alleviate the drought." A voice exploded here, and hundreds of people held a stick of incense in their hands and shouted respectfully at Longjun Temple.
The sun is shining, and there is nothing abnormal in Longjun Temple.
The old man's heart couldn't help but be surprised, according to what he heard when he invited the statue of Longjun. Even if Long Jun can't pull out for a while to come to rain, it will make the dark clouds cover the sun and rain. But why is there no reaction at this time, like a stone sinking into the sea.
looked at the Longjun Temple, bowed again, and asked loudly: "I respectfully ask the Longjun to send down nectar to alleviate the drought."
"I respectfully ask the dragon king to rain down nectar to alleviate the drought." The people didn't know why, but when they saw the village chief shouting again, they could only follow and make the same move.
Voices drifted down the incense and looked at the sky, but the sun was still there, and there was a little figure with dark clouds.
Zhao Tailin looked at it and shook his head, and the corners of his mouth showed a smug look: "The two of you also saw it, this Dragon Jun received the incense and luck, but there was no reaction." What is the use of the people worshipping such a dragon king? Scholars of my generation should not be gullible about such things."
"Brother Tai seems to have some prejudices about this." He replied to Zhao Tailin unhurriedly, although he complained a lot about the lack of rain for this dragon monarch, but he was gradually relieved when he thought of the lack of manpower for those ghosts to catch ghosts. They cannot be blamed for the occasional inability to rain in time due to lack of manpower in such a large place. After all, these ghosts and dragon monarchs don't owe anything to the people.
Seeing that the ecology of the wrinkles was so careless, Zhao Tailin waved his sleeves at him: "That's it, the Tao is different, and there will be a period after the farewell."
"I do not send it". The veins were not forced, and replied to Zhao Tailin.
Zhao Tailin looked around at the two, and then turned away. After he goes to Guyun Mansion, he must expose this god of incense who deceives the people.
Seeing Zhao Tailin walking away, Yang Su pouted in that direction: "This person is extremely annoying, if you hadn't stopped him, I would have rushed up and counted him down." If you don't see something, it doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't exist. We have suffered for countless years in the land of Wufu, and we finally look forward to a good life, how can we let this disrespectful person hate the gods."
"If you hadn't seen those demons, if you hadn't seen those yin soldiers, would you have believed this prayer for rain?" Xuan Wen asked Yang Su rhetorically.
Hearing the inquiry, Yang Su was dumbfounded, and shook his head after a while: "If you don't believe it, the rain god doesn't rain, and the ghosts and gods don't cure the ghosts in the yang world, this is common sense."
"The villagers begged for rain, and Long Jun didn't respond immediately to the rain, so it's understandable that he didn't believe it." Xuan Wen explained to Yang Su.
Yang Su could only sigh and look at the Longjun Temple: "What do you say this Longjun is busy with? Why didn't you respond immediately?"
"There is a big drought in the land of Wufu this year, and Long Jun will inevitably be too busy, and it is normal to come a little late." Xuan Wen thought for a moment and explained to Yang Su.
Yang Su could only nod, thinking of the ecology of Zhao Tailin's departure, he couldn't help but sigh: "This Long Jun was so busy that he forgot that it was a trivial matter to respond immediately, but Brother Wen offended that person for this, once he preached it around Guyun Mansion." It's not a good thing for Brother Wen's reputation."
"It doesn't matter, right and wrong are at ease in people's hearts." The veins explained to Yang Su.
......
On the bank of the river, Ah Niu rubbed his eyes, as if he heard someone begging for rain, and a trace of sleepiness instantly dissipated.
"Senior brother, hurry up, there are villagers begging for rain." Looking at Chen Yi who was sleeping soundly on the side, Ah Niu hurriedly shouted at him.
Chen Yi thought he was dreaming, and waved his hand at Ah Niu: "Don't make noise, I slept so late yesterday and trapped me."
"Big brother". Listening to the sound of eagerly begging for rain, Ah Niu suddenly became anxious, so he ran his aura and shouted at Chen Yi.
Chen Yi only felt a thunderclap in his ears, and immediately sat up from the ground: "What are you yelling about? We went to the Illusory Thousand Worlds yesterday to play so late, can't we sleep more?"
"Ask for rain, ask for rain". Ah Niu shouted loudly at Chen Yi, his expression gradually becoming impatient. It seems that going to the illusory Thousand Worlds is unacceptable, and I almost missed a big event.
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously listened quietly: "It seems to be ours today, it's raining here, no, we have to work quickly."
"Shrimp one, come out quickly, work." Tatsui yelled at the river.
The river is tumbling and shrimp appears on the river with a team of shrimp soldiers, and bows to Chen Yi: "I've seen Chen Yi Zhenren."
"It's raining to go". Chen Yi commanded the shrimp, and then turned into light and flew in the direction where the sound of begging for rain came.
When the cow and shrimp saw this, they also hurriedly followed.
All of a sudden, dark clouds rolled in, countless thunderbolts swam in them, and a downpour of rain was about to erupt.
