I have a book of ghosts and gods

Chapter 985 Kneeling incense and begging for rain

Gao Di couldn't help but said: "Didn't you say that the Tang Dynasty was a kingdom of heaven, and all nations came to court, and the emperor was prosperous? Why is there such a catastrophe?"

The Great Wilderness and Nandanbu Buyuan Rang are separated by huge oceans and huge seas, hundreds of millions of miles away, it is already rare for him to hear the name of Dongtu.

According to hearsay, it is reasonable to have never been to Dongtu.

The passer-by looked him up and down upon hearing this.

"Seeing that you are a foreigner, it is not surprising that you say such words."

Gao Di was wearing animal skins, half of his body was naked, and his skin was like bronze.

Although he looks young, but with a beard and disheveled hair, he looks like a savage.

You can tell at a glance that you are not from the East.

"My Tang Dynasty is naturally a kingdom of heaven. His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is wise and mighty. He has traveled far away from the ancient and modern holy emperors, so that our human race can survive. The four directions dare not invade, and the monsters dare not invade. He is the saint of my human race..."

A passer-by suddenly sighed when he said this: "It's just that although there is a holy king in power, the world is difficult and dangerous. Not only are there thousands of tribes and tribes staring at each other in all directions, but also God is on top of his head."

"I don't know which traitor and thief in the court did something against the heavens and reason, which made the heavens furious, sent the locust god down, and sent down the locust god. We are still doing well here, and now I heard in the pass That is a thousand miles of red land, and this year's harvest has been plagued by locusts..."

Lin Shushu suddenly said: "That's not right, isn't it because the ruler loses his morals that the plague of locusts is raging?"

"..."

Jiang Zhou and Su Nisheng watched the passerby's expression suddenly changed, and each of them gave him a firm hand.

"Nian you are an outsider, ignorant of etiquette, and physically incompetent, I don't care about you, but don't blame me for not reminding you, if others listen to you, wait carefully for your delicate skin and tender flesh!"

"Humph!"

After the man finished speaking, he snorted heavily and walked away.

Watching this person leave, Jiang Zhou glared at him: "You can talk less in the future!"

Lin Shushu curled her lips: "Hmph, he's lucky. Before he changed my son, if he wanted to leave, he had to leave a pair of legs."

Jiang Zhou also knew that he was just being stubborn.

With his temperament, if someone dared to expose his shortcomings in person, he would really make the other person's life worse than death.

But the targets he can attack will definitely not be ordinary people who are powerless.

Jiang Zhou shook his head and said: "Let's go, this is Hebei Road, go further, pass the boundary of Hedong Road, you will be in Guannei, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, there, since you have arrived at Nanzhan Buzhou, if you don't go there Wouldn't it be a pity for Chang'an, whom all nations worship, to take a look at?"

Lin Shushu doubted: "Why are you so familiar? Isn't it the first time you have been here?"

Could I be unfamiliar?
Before submitting the credentials, Jiang Zhou had already inquired about it.

Although this land boundary is very different from what he knows, except that the territory is many times larger, this land is basically the same as what he knows.

I don't know what kind of connection between the two.

Although it is not the modern age he is in, it also makes him feel a great sense of intimacy.

Jiang Zhou said bluntly: "Familiar is familiar, but this is the first time."

Lin Shushu looked at him suspiciously, and said, "Forget it, there's no whereabouts of those two sluts anyway, so it's okay to go and see first."

A few people will leave Yuyang County now.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

After leaving the county seat, he walked not far, and when he reached an open place, he suddenly heard a piercing sound of gongs.

Many people around suddenly ran past.

A few people stopped on the side of the road, a little puzzled.

Jiang Zhou stopped someone casually and asked, "My fellow, what's the matter?"

"The county lord has invited a real person to pray for rain!"

The person who was stopped left Jiang Zhou with a word, and hurried away.

Jiang Zhou turned his head and looked at several people.

Su Nisheng said: "Pray for rain? Do all the monks here have such supernatural powers?"

In Daji, the monks of Xianmen also have the ability to drive the wind and control the water.

Use great magic power to transport and move the water of rivers and rivers, and sprinkle it from the sky, but it can also rain heavily.

However, in the case of a large-scale severe drought and disaster, such an approach will not be enough.

Even if it has the power to move mountains, the ability to overturn seas, like the goddess Yanshan in Yunmeng Daze, who was born with supernatural powers, and can flood a county, it is still the same. endless.

In ancient times, there was still a rain official in Tianfu, who could control the amount of rain in the world.

But since the separation between heaven and man, the matter of managing the rain has also belonged to the Superintendent Tiansi.

Whenever there is a severe drought, the method used is to move the water from other rivers and rivers in this way.

Oftentimes, one side is moistened, but the other side is also harmed.

Not easy to do.

Therefore, when I heard that a monk could pray for rain, I was curious.

Lin Shushu said: "Go and see."

Push the wheelchair first, and go in the direction where the flow of people converges.

Jiang Zhou and the others had no choice but to keep up.

Not far away, before coming to a mound, hundreds of thousands of people have gathered here.

Next to the mound was a riverbed that was almost dry, and there were nearly a hundred people kneeling on the ground around a high platform, with pious faces and muttering words in their mouths.

There is an incense burner half as high as a person on the stage, and the green smoke is curling up, straight as a line, straight up to the blue sky.

From time to time, someone stood up, and then another person came out from the crowd gathered at the side, and knelt under the high platform instead of the person who left.

When Jiang Zhou and the others arrived, they couldn't see the effort of a stick of incense, and they had already rotated more than a dozen groups.

And during this period, among those kneeling, some seemed to have been kneeling for an extremely long time, exhausted, the words and sentences chanted in their mouths were intermittent, or they made mistakes, or even just kneeled on the spot and passed out. Someone immediately dragged them out of it.

He didn't know where to take out a piece of paper that seemed to have been prepared a long time ago, dragged them to stamp their fingerprints on it, and then discarded it.

Apart from being unconscious, all the abandoned people were pale and full of despair.

Jiang Zhou and the others looked puzzled.

Lin Shushu couldn't help but frowned and said, "What are they doing? That's the way to pray for rain?"

Hearing his muttering, someone in front of them turned around, and that person was obviously taken aback when he saw them.

It turned out that this person was the passer-by who had gone away in displeasure because of Lin Shushu's nonsense.

He looked unhappy, and wanted to stay away from a few people, but was pulled back by Lin Shushu.

His face changed: "What are you going to do? I can tell you, my Tang Dynasty has its own laws, if you dare to touch me, be careful of the king's law!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lin Shushu's gaze was like a sword: "I have something to ask you, what's the matter with these people?"

That person naturally didn't want to pay attention to it, but Lin Shushu's two gazes could kill people across the air, destroy mountains and crack the ground, even if it was just a trace, how could he bear it?

Frightened by his eyes, in a daze, he couldn't help but say: "This is to show my sincerity to Grandpa Lei. Every year, praying for rain is the same rule. This is called kneeling incense."

"Have you seen that incense? As long as we recite the Thunder Mantra sincerely, the incense will not disperse and reach to the sky, so that Grandpa Lei can see it. When Grandpa Lei takes pity on us, it will naturally rain with thunder."

"Kneeling incense?"

Several people looked at each other, and there was a slight strangeness in their eyes.

Perhaps it was because of Jiang Zhou's previous divination that they were a little sensitive to the word "Grandpa Lei".

Lin Shushu pointed to those who had been dragged aside to sign some documents and collapsed on the ground and asked, "Where are those people? What's going on?"

The man took a look and said, "Oh, they are all disrespectful to Grandpa Lei, so they will naturally be punished."

"Punishment? What kind of punishment?"
