Holy Bone

Chapter 905: Sacrifice God and Pray for Rain, Invitation from Lord Fu Yin

The old Taoist jabbed at the image of the Immortal Rain without any response, and quickly lost interest. Then he asked Jin An what he planned to do with the image of the Immortal Rain Clothing the Rain.
You can't let the Taoist temple of the five internal organs also believe in the female Yuxian in the painting, right?
And just hanging the picture of the rain fairy on the tree like this, I always feel that the partition wall has ears and it is not safe. In the future, eating, doing errands, and practicing kung fu will not be able to escape the eyes and ears of the rain fairy in the painting.

Jin An thought for a while, and said: "You can't burn it, maybe it will be useful in the future, first hang it in the sheepfold, the silly sheep is fierce every day, and it doesn't need to sleep at night, so let the silly sheep help us all day long." Keep an eye on the painting."

The old Taoist's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands happily: "That's a good idea!"

"Sheep feces and urine are the most fishy. Once you get your hands on it, you can't wash off the fishy smell. These filth can destroy the spirituality of things the most. Even if there is something wrong with this picture of Yuxian, use the sheep's dung in the sheep pen Urine suppresses the female Yuxian, hehe, Xun can also kill the female Yuxian!"

Meh.

The silly sheep in the sheep pen are still gnawing on carrots, eat it, sleep it, and continue eating after waking up. They are talking about the silly sheep who live carefree every day.

The old Taoist pulled Jin An aside and talked in his ear, and came up with a bad idea: "Little brother, for the sake of the silly sheep, I have drawn more pictures of suppressing Yuxian these days. Do you want to add some spices to it? For example, add crotons and garlic sprouts to carrots." , Garlic or something, the smell will not kill her, and she will wash her face with tears every day."

The old Taoist said she refers to the female Yuxian.

"..."

The muscles in the corners of Jin An's eyes twitched: "Old man, don't you think you have personal grievances with this bad idea, and you want to avenge your personal revenge, the revenge of being flew to the roof by a silly sheep last time..."

The old Taoist looked serious, and said righteously: "Little brother, you are prejudiced against the old Tao. This is slander. I seriously protest the old Tao."

Ha ha.

Jin An threw the old Taoist a chuckle and let him understand it by himself.

Jin An did what he said, he said to hang it in the sheep pen, and he really hung the picture of the rain fairy in the corner of the sheep pen, so that the female rain fairy would put a cold face on the stupid sheep's hot butt every day.

Next, Jin An unceremoniously smashed open the merit box, and a group of people happily divided up the money, even A Fei Ziyue brother and sister had a chance to make a red envelope for the new year.

……

In the next few days, the Taoist temple of the five internal organs has remained flat, and the number of pilgrims is still cold, and there is no sign of returning.

However, the coldness here is relative to the soaring flow of people near the end. Compared with the poor flow of people when Jin'an first came to Jiangnan to open the branch temple, now hundreds of people come to offer incense every day, surpassing most Taoist temples, temple.

The drought in Fucheng has been greatly alleviated in recent days. Since Sanxianguan sold the Yuxian cloth rain map to the whole city, it rained on time every night, and the raining time gradually extended. Later, it was able to keep raining continuously for most of the night.

As the incident continued to ferment, more and more people came to Fucheng to seek the Three Immortals Temple to pray for rain, hoping that Yuxian would expand the scope of rainfall, bring rain to the entire south of the Yangtze River, and save the crops in the field.

Many farmers even went to the government office to petition, saying that if it does not rain again, let alone that the crops will not survive this year, the late rice harvest will not be harvested, and there will be no food for the winter, and even people will not be able to survive.

It is against the backdrop of unrelenting public voices and being coerced by public opinion that Fucheng officials, who have been silent all the time, contacted Sanxian Temple out of the consideration of stabilizing public opinion.

Half a day later, real people Fuyou, Fuyun, and Fuyao from Sanxian Temple came forward to reply to the believers, saying that it is not impossible to bring rainfall to the whole south of the Yangtze River to cool down. Taking the opportunity to take advantage of the east wind, please move the magical Yuxian to borrow the clouds and rain on the sea to Jiangzhou Prefecture.

However, this is a change against the sky, and Yuxian said that it needs the order of the Jade Emperor in the Heavenly Court, so that the four gods of wind, thunder, cloud and rain can all listen to Yuxian's dispatch and rain down nectar for the Jiangnan area.Therefore, the three of their brothers and sisters will set up a grand formation of heaven, earth, man and three talents in Fucheng, and arrange three altars to attract wind and rain. According to the public opinion of Jiangzhou Prefecture, they have an audience with the Jade Emperor who lives in the Lingxiao Palace on the 36th Chongtian, and hope that the Jade Emperor can order to dispatch the four gods of wind, thunder, cloud and rain to bring rain to the Jiangnan area.

Sanxian Temple's appearance to pray for rain directly pushed the public opinion to the highest point. At this time, public opinion is already coercing the officials, and even the officials are cooperating with the Sanxian Temple to clean up the venue and build the altar.

During the few days when the Dharma altar was set up, the people in Fucheng didn't think about food or tea, they were all looking forward to whether the Temple of the Three Immortals really had such great magical powers, even the Jade Emperor of Heaven had to listen to Yuxian.

But not everyone believes in the Three Immortals and Yuxian.

Taoist temple of the five internal organs.

The old Taoist pulled Jin An aside to avoid the picture of the rain fairy cloth hanging in the sheepfold: "Little brother, old Taoist, my right eye has been twitching for the past few days, the left eye is jumping for money and the right eye is jumping for disaster. Something is going to happen."

"Could it be related to the arrangement of the Three Immortals Temple in Fucheng to mobilize [-] people in the city to pray for rain together?"

The old Taoist said worriedly.

Jin An looked up at the clear blue sky in the sky, frowned slightly and said: "A severe drought and a prayer for rain have allowed the Temple of the Three Immortals to gather public opinion in a very short period of time. The Temple of the Three Immortals now represents what the people want. The direction of the people, the trend of the times, even the Fucheng Yamen are under the influence of the people, dare not despise the people's petitions."

"Even if the Temple of the Three Immortals really deceives people's wisdom and there are problems, we can only wait and see what happens. No one in Jiangzhou Prefecture dares to easily offend the Temple of the Three Immortals at this time. If you are an enemy, your spine will be broken by hundreds of thousands of people."

"Public opinion is the easiest to be deceived, and it is also the easiest to be demented. Any public opinion guide can kill a person without bloodshed. Whoever controls public opinion has the initiative."

Jin'an had just talked about the government office, and the people from the government office came to invite Jin'an, saying that the governor of the government had invited him and had important matters to discuss.

Jin An and the Lord Fu Yin of Jiangzhou Mansion are also old acquaintances. The mansion office, the study, the Lord Fu Yin asked his servants to retreat, leaving only him and Jin An to discuss secretly in the study for half a day. Jin An left the mansion with a normal expression. Ya.

After leaving Fuya, he did not return directly to the Taoist Temple of the Five Zang organs, but passed by the Temple of the Three Immortals and the three altars before returning to the Taoist Temple of the Five Zang organs.

The three dharma altars are distributed in three directions of the prefecture city. On each altar is a huge flag and streamer, which are respectively painted with spells of borrowing the wind, spells of attracting clouds, and spells of praying for rain.

The blue flags represent wind, the white flags represent clouds, and the blue flags represent rain.

In the direction of the pier, there is also an altar guarding the atrium, which is also the location of the eye of the array. Although the altar at the eye of the array is blocked by a straw curtain wall, blocking the sight of the world and creating a mysterious color for the Temple of the Three Immortals, this cannot stop the day tour of Yuanshen. of Jin'an.

When Jin An returned to the Taoist temple, he was immediately surrounded by everyone, and curiously asked Mr. Fu Yin what he wanted from him?

"It's not a big deal. Mr. Fu Yin is worried about what accidents will happen when the altar is opened to pray for rain tomorrow. Let me accompany Mr. Fu Yin." In my uncle's ears, there was a serious expression on his face.

……

Time soon came to open the altar to pray for rain the next day.

On this day in Jiangzhou Fucheng, every household is decorated with lanterns and festoons, just like holding a temple fair to worship the gods.

Such a bustling and bustling scene is naturally inseparable from the scenes of storekeepers, street vendors, and salesmen who are grinning from ear to ear. Not only the folks pray for rain to welcome the rain fairy to Fucheng, but even these peddlers greet the rain fairy with joy and become new believers of the Three Immortals. .

It's good to have rain, but it's even better if you can make money and make money.

The good and auspicious days suitable for offering sacrifices to gods are between Sishi and Weishi.

Probably nine in the morning to three in the afternoon.

The time chosen by Sanxian Temple to open the altar to pray for rain is Si time, which is nine o'clock in the morning.

So Jin An had to go to Fucheng to meet Lord Fuyin in advance, but just before going out, Jin An took out the ten-time seal of the Five Thunders Slaying Evil Talisman on his body, carefully placed it in the hands of the statue in the Palace of the Great Five Thunders, and repeatedly told Yu If something happened to Uncle Yangzi today, he couldn't come back in time, so he took the silly sheep to hide in the palace of Wulei Great Emperor.

"Teacher, don't worry, go and assist Mr. Fu Yin, I will take good care of the Taoist temple." Uncle Yuyangzi nodded with a smile.

Jin'an also told A Fei Ziyue brothers and sisters to listen to the master's advice today, not to run around anywhere, and to stay in the palace of the Five Thunder Great Emperor to practice Leifa, and when he comes back, he will test the two of them.

After suing, he took the old Taoist priest out to the direction of Fuya.

The old Taoist likes to join in the fun, and he will follow whatever he says, so Jin An had to bring the old Taoist with him.Mr. Fu Yin knew the old Taoist priest. When he and the old Taoist priest came to the government office, Mr. Fu Yin showed a warm welcome to the old Taoist priest. He praised the Taoist temple of the five internal organs as the place where the crouching tiger hides the dragon. Today we can invite two people from the Taoist temple of the five internal organs. With the help of Taoist masters, the process of praying for rain today is bound to be smooth sailing.

Not to mention, the old Taoist has a good skin. Putting aside the old and indecent and wretched image when he was with Jin An, when facing outsiders, he has a sense of demeanor, ethereal and dusty, and his temperament is very good. , This is the capital that the old Taoist used to travel around the world.

The officials participating in praying for rain today, in addition to Mr. Fu Yin, there are also a large number of high-ranking officials who will pray for rain together with the common people.

The old Taoist looked around and found that the real people Fuyou, Fuyun and Fuyao of the Temple of the Three Immortals were not in the government office. After inquiring, they found out that the three real people were all doing the final inspection at the altar to avoid any omissions.

Seeing that it was about the same time, Mr. Fu Yin called Jin An and the old Taoist priest, and drove to the sacrificial place together with all the officials in a carriage.

Before leaving the government office, some officials showed hesitation, saying that today is the real person of Sanxian Temple offering sacrifices to gods and praying for rain, and we have brought two additional Taoist priests from Wuzang Taoist temple to the meeting. Will the real person of Sanxianguan be displeased?Do you need to dress up in disguise and put on folk costumes to avoid revealing the identity of the five internal organs Taoist temple?

Jin An and the old Taoist did not speak, but looked at Mr. Fu Yin.

Mr. Fu Yin's face is majestic: "The official robe on this official represents the emperor of the imperial court. Under the sky, is it the king's land? No matter how magical the Three Immortals Temple is, it is also under the rule of the imperial court. It is the imperial court that allows the people to live and work in peace and contentment. Long-term peace and order does not depend on praying for rain once or twice at the Temple of the Three Immortals. Daoist Jin'an and Daoist Chen are nobles invited by this official, why do they hide their heads and show their tails? I represent the imperial court, why should I look at the face of the Temple of the Three Immortals?"

Mr. Fu Yin's words are not only for Jin'an and the old Taoist priests, but also for all the officials present. With Mr. Fu Yin's words, it is tantamount to setting the nature of today's worship of gods and praying for rain, and for officials to prohibit worship spirits.
