Chapter 159 Pray for Rain
The shopkeeper cheered up and responded enthusiastically, "Guests, do you want to be sharp or stay in the shop?"

"Stay at the hotel."

He Zheng looked at the smiling shopkeeper: "Is there enough water in the store? Shopkeeper Lao prepares some food and tea first, and then takes care of our horses."

Along the way, except for a break in the middle to let the horses drink some water, the water source has not been seen since then, and the water in their water bladders needs to be saved. The horse has been thirsty for most of the day.

"Don't worry, guest, this water is available. We went all the way and went to the reservoir to fetch water and prepare it. It's just..."

The shopkeeper rubbed his hands together and smiled: "This price... it's a lot more expensive than usual."

He Zheng glanced at him, took out the usual money and handed it to him: "Is this enough?"

Looking at the money, the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up: "Enough is enough, all the guests sit down for a while, I will let someone prepare tea and eat."

After eating, He Lingjiang asked the shopkeeper for news: "The shopkeeper, when I was in the suburbs, I saw the immortals of the Taiping Sect pouring water. I don't know what sect this Taiping Sect is?"

The shopkeeper stroked his moustache and said leisurely, "The little lady must be from another place, right?"

"This Taiping Sect, today, is the sect with the most believers and the most prosperous incense in Shaoyang."

"Look, when the drought comes, everyone can't wait to take care of themselves, even the government is powerless. Only the immortals of the Taiping Sect, who often come here in January to give water, how much convenience they have brought to the people."

"Now, in the hearts of our people, this Taiping Sect is the one who truly cares for the people."

In his words, he was full of admiration for the Taiping Sect: "What's more, the Qingyuan sect of the Taiping Sect can also use the water to treat diseases, and all diseases can be cured. Must not."

During this period of severe drought, it is easy to breed all kinds of diseases, but if you can ask for Taiping advice, ask Zunfu hydrotherapy to cure diseases, you will be able to cure the disease.

He Lingjiang looked surprised: "Then Qing Yuan Jiao Zun is so powerful that he can't cure any disease?"

"Naturally." The shopkeeper's voice rose slightly, "I saw this with my own eyes, so is it still fake?"

He pointed to the outside and said, "Earlier Liu Jia Erlang on the East Street was in constant pain, so he drank the Talisman's talisman and jumped up and down all of a sudden."

He Lingjiang "ho": "It's so powerful!"

"Naturally." Speaking of the Taiping religion, he felt a sense of pride, "Those who devote themselves to the faith, drink it with the Talisman, and heal themselves. But if you are not religious in your heart, then don't blame the Talisman. I can't save you..."

"That is to say, not all diseases can be cured?" He Lingjiang raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a bit of suspicion in his tone.

The shopkeeper's face was solemn, and he waved his hands again and again: "My lady can't talk nonsense. I'm not pious in my heart. How can I blame the Qing Yuan Jiao Zun's Fushui for not being able to save people? To blame, I can only blame myself for being dishonest in teaching."

He Lingjiang nodded, but he was noncommittal.

This sincerity is not sincere, how can outsiders say it accurately?

But if he can be saved, he is said to be a sincere person, and if he can't be saved, he will be labeled as being ungodly.

She originally thought that the Taiping Sect was using charity to attract followers, and this behavior was understandable.

Now, according to what the shopkeeper said, this Taiping Sect also used a lot of fraudulent methods.

The so-called Fushui cures diseases, and He Lingjiang, who is a member of the Xuanmen, naturally knows it.

It is to burn the talisman into ashes and drink it with wine or water, so that the talisman is stored in the heart, when the mind is thinking, the divine power of the talisman will be released, the divine power will be released, the disease will be dispelled, and the person will return to a healthy state. Full of energy.

People eat whole grains and miscellaneous grains, and it is inevitable that they will not get sick, but although Fushui can cure diseases, it is not omnipotent.

The diseases that Fushui treats must have a premise, that is, they are caused by evil spirits.

Natural diseases or accidental injuries are not within the scope of Fushui's treatment.

All walks of life perform their own duties. Xuanshi has the fields and methods that Xuanshi is good at, and doctors also have their own means of benevolence.

This Taiping sect wants to say that its own talisman can cure everything, if it can't cure it, it means that the patient's belief is not sincere, which is a deception.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Nowadays, many common people's houses enshrine the shrine of the Qingyuan sect. Even my place has a shrine."

He Lingjiang's eyes turned slightly, and sure enough, on the cabinet behind him, stood a one-foot-square shrine. The Taoist inside was wearing a robe, holding a whisk, and his face was stern. He thought it was the Qingyuan sect.

"I heard that Qing Yuan Jiao Zun will open the altar tomorrow and pray for rain?" He Lingjiang asked again.

The shopkeeper nodded: "Yes. The big guy asked the teacher to do the same thing before, but the teacher said that he would have to wait for an auspicious day. It can be considered that it will wait until tomorrow. After the teacher does it, the days of drought will pass. already."

He Lingjiang smiled lightly: "The shopkeeper trusts Qing Yuan Jiao Zun."

"Naturally." The shopkeeper was sullen and solemn. "When did the teacher say something wrong? Since he is going to open the altar tomorrow, he will definitely be able to pray for rain."

The shopkeeper seemed to have no doubts about the Qingyuan Reverend of the Taiping Sect, so He Lingjiang didn't want to say anything else, so he went back to his room to rest.

Although it is only early to mid-March, the air is hot and dry.

He Lingjiang opened the window and looked up at the sky outside. The sun had already set, the sunset was full of clouds, and there was no tendency for it to rain.

The so-called sunrise does not go out, the sunset travels thousands of miles.

Since ancient times, although ordinary people have not been able to predict Xuanmen's divination, they can also summarize many predictable signs in terms of weather changes based on their life experience.

Looking at the clouds in the sky this evening, it should be a sunny day tomorrow.

However, this prediction method based on life experience is not always accurate.If there is no rain tomorrow, wouldn't the hearts of the Taiping Sect's hard-to-gather people be scattered, and how could they shoot themselves in the foot?
He Lingjiang instructed Qiongzhi to prepare a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, put it on the table in the room, and then concentrate on it, pick up the pen and write a line of boy on the paper.

Immediately afterwards, she took out three copper coins from her sleeves, overlapped them, put them in the palm of her hand, and closed her eyes to meditate.

The hand moved slightly, and the copper coin in the palm also shook with her thoughts.

After a few breaths, her mind moved, and she gently tossed the copper coin in her hand. The copper coin fell on the table, rotated a few times and swayed a few times, and finally stopped.

He Lingjiang picked up a pen and wrote down the pros and cons of the coins one by one on the paper. Repeating this six times, it became a complete six-line hexagram.

She picked up the paper on which the hexagrams were written in front of her, and her heart was clear.

Tomorrow, it really rains.

The so-called rain rituals of the Taiping religion are nothing more than using divinations or celestial phenomena in advance to determine when there will be rain, and then praying for rain on that day to deceive the people.
