Summon the Big Boss

Chapter 507 The Beginning

In many cases, the greater the moment, the more it starts from an inconspicuous moment.

An unimportant little person made a seemingly unimportant decision, but driven by fate, a great and tragic prelude opened.

But in fact, is it true?
Are those tiny changes really out of the grasp of some being?
Weren't those sudden changes really premeditated?

The answer is both clear and vague.

It depends on how people think and look at it.

The same thing will always show different changes under the influence of time, people's hearts, rumors, and personal thoughts.

The arrival of a disaster, the passing of a great life, the birth of a life, and the death of a thought... They may happen at the same time. As for whether they are involved, whether there is a certain internal connection, whether it implies something, it is very difficult. It's hard to say.

When change comes.

As a promoter of change, it is also impossible to control the overall situation and be fully aware.

Because there is more than one hand pushing behind, no one can be sure whether he is a chess player or a chess piece.

Just like a beast in the forest that has just captured its prey, it is not sure that it is not the prey, and the prey it captured is not the bait to lure it.

The north of Min country has been dry for nearly three months. Since the beginning of summer, the sun has been scorching hot, but there has never been a drop of rain. It is almost the autumn harvest season.

But the crops in the field are all downcast due to the long-term lack of water.

If there is no rain, then just diverting river water for irrigation will not be able to meet the standard of a good harvest.

In order to compete for water sources, many villages located in the upper and lower reaches of a river have repeatedly fought with weapons.

The shortage of food will cause more social problems.

After the drought, the locust plagues that often appear have made many elderly people worried.

Practitioners who have been invited to pray for rain have come batch after batch, but they have not been able to make meritorious deeds.

According to those practitioners, there is not a trace of water vapor condensing in the air in the north of Min country, even if they can cast spells forcibly, it is just a drop in the bucket to attract a little 'Xianlu'.

It still won't rain, and it won't be able to moisten the whole hungry and greedy earth.

The air here is like a dry towel, no matter how you twist it, you can't squeeze out a drop of water.

And the one who can communicate with the heaven and the earth, directly command the heaven and the earth, force the water vapor to rise, and rain on a large area, is only a true immortal.

Even the Daoist Yuanshen is just adapting to local conditions and taking advantage of the situation.

Only when there are clouds in the sky can the clouds be shocked by thunder and the rain fall from the clouds.

There are truths and falsehoods in this statement.

Practitioners... Even great practitioners in the realm of primordial spirit cannot make rain out of thin air, this is true.

But to say that they have absolutely no way of raining on a large scale is actually false.

It can be done by setting up formations and casting spells, or by using special magic weapons to mobilize a large number of water sources from other places.

It's just... what is the life and death of those ordinary people to the high-ranking practitioners?

Don't say it is for the common people to the practitioners.

Even among those bureaucrats who enjoy the fat and anointing of the people, how many of them are not like this?
The life and death of a group of ordinary people is not as important as a meal... This is never a joke.

In fact, those who came to pray for rain and cast spells were just low-level practitioners.

Those who are invited to come here will gain a lot of benefits, and those who "Xinran" pray for rain, the highest cultivation level is only the late Jindan stage.

After all, the whole country of Min is just an inconspicuous small country in the corner of Wenzhou. Because it is surrounded by mountains, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it will not be annexed by neighboring countries.

At the beginning of praying for rain, there were still some practitioners with some cultivation.

Later, he went to the doctor in a hurry.

There are many more liars.

The titles of the scammers are getting louder and louder, but the methods are more ugly than the last.

Some crooks cheated out of their property and fled.

Of course, there were many who were beaten to death by angry people on the spot, explaining what it means to die for birds.

Gradually, even the liars stopped coming.

Desperation permeated the entire northern part of Min country, and even gradually spread towards the whole country.

After all, if there is a shortage of grain in the north, the grain output in the south alone will not be enough to supply the whole country.

What's more, the south of Min country has always been mainly planted with fruit trees and tea, which are important exports of Min country.

The pressure on grain production has always been in the north.

As for asking for help....

There is a price to pay.

What's more, the price of Min country being easy to defend and difficult to attack is that the external transportation is very inconvenient.

It is almost impossible to transport food from abroad to the country on a large scale without the help of a large number of monks.

At the entrance of the dilapidated wild temple, Liu San, with disheveled hair and feathers, was lying on a bamboo chair, squinting his eyes, thinking about how he would play tricks and stutter later.

He is not a practitioner.

But because of a fluke, he obtained a formula from the corner of a broken ancient artifact, and possessed the ability to drive some inexplicable powers.

This ability is not so great, but it also allowed him to pretend to be a ghost among the people, possessed a certain deterrent power, and became a well-known wizard in all directions.

In the distance, a large number of footsteps came from the foot of the mountain quickly.

Soon, a large group of people crowded to the gate of the wild temple.

Looking at Liu San lying on the bamboo chair, without saying a word, these people fell to their knees and kowtowed.

The one who took the lead in the front was a well-known old man nearby. He lived to be 72 years old. He is already the longest-lived person with a radius of hundreds of miles.

"Master Immortal! Please save us!"

"God continues like this... we will all die!" The old man looked at Liu San with eager eyes and tears in his eyes, and begged urgently.

Liu San turned around and didn't respond.

Just five days ago, when Liu San was wandering down the mountain, he saw with his own eyes that this old man, leading the young and strong men in the village, beat two liars who came to cheat and abduct them to death on the ridge of the field.

At that time, the old man had a hostile look on his face.

In an era of material poverty and low life, the old guy who can live to be in his seventies and become the most famous person in ten miles and eight villages... is by no means a good stump, the kindness of the elders is with him , is just a disguise.

The people pleaded repeatedly, but Liu San just pretended not to see it.

How capable he is, I know it in my heart.

With the help of formulas, it's nothing more than pretending to be a ghost, if he is really asked to pray for rain...he absolutely does not have the ability.

"Master Immortal! We know that you are a person of great ability."

"If you are willing to come forward to pray for rain, our people from all over the world will not only collect a hundred taels of silver for you, but also...can make you a book of ten thousand people, begging the emperor to appoint you an official." The old man is no longer just leading the people Go ask and start offering the price you have prepared.

The selection of officials in Min State is not based on the imperial examination system.

In addition to being recommended by prestigious officials and nobles, spontaneous requests from ordinary people are also an important means of entering the officialdom.

When Liu San heard this, of course his heart was moved.

If you become an official, you don't need to be deceived anymore.

In the future, I can also live a decent life, marry a wife with more than ten houses, and do not repeat the same every day.

But... after thinking about it again, Liu San calmed down again. All these conditions are only possible if the rain is successful.

If it fails....

Liu San thought of the fate of those swindlers, and shook his head again.

At this time, the old man stood up, walked up to Liu San, and whispered something in his ear, Liu San's eyes lit up immediately.
