I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 510: Strange Drought

A few days had passed since the celebration banquet, and Jiang Wen's life had returned to normal.

Jingxu Temple opened its doors again to welcome pilgrims, and many more people came than usual. After a series of events, the name of Jingxu Temple spread throughout the country.

Everyone knows that there is a Taoist temple called Jingxu Temple in Jiangcheng, and the female Taoist priests there are all very beautiful. In addition, Jingxu Temple is in a good location, and burning incense and worshipping the gods there always has magical effects.

It is also because of this that Jingxu Temple has a constant stream of pilgrims, even more so than some well-known tourist attractions.

Jiang Wen had to set up a formation to appease people's hearts and let the pilgrims obey the order to ease the situation. After all, for him, this was also painful and happy.

The value of my incense was rising rapidly, and my merits also increased a little.

A few days later, an old farmer came to the Taoist temple and said he wanted to ask Jiang Wen to pray for rain. This surprised him, so he asked about the situation.

It turned out that it hadn't rained in the south for several months, and the water in the reservoirs and fields had dried up. If it didn't rain again, farming would be difficult, and fish farmers had lost a lot of money.

Although the authorities have dug a canal to divert water, the drought has affected a large area, and the water is only enough for the southern cities. There are no clouds in the sky, so it is difficult to make it rain artificially.

The old farmer had no choice but to watch the cracks in his field grow bigger day by day. Later, he saw the news about Jingxu Temple while watching short videos, and felt that this place was effective. So he bought a train ticket and came here, just to ask the Taoist priests of Jingxu Temple to perform a ritual to pray for rain.

Don't talk about whether it works or not, or whether it's superstitious or not. In the eyes of the old farmer, it's all a token of his love. Maybe after the Taoist priest finishes the ritual, it will rain.
No matter what, people's intentions are as sincere as ever.

Jiang Wen hesitated for a while after hearing this, but finally agreed to the old farmer's request. There was nothing else to do, but he felt that life in the south was indeed difficult. It would be easy for him to call for rain now, and it wouldn't take much magic power.

So they invited the old farmer to stay in the temple for a day, and the next day they followed the old farmer to the south.

When she left, she took Bai Jing with her. She kept complaining that she had never gone out to play. Jiang Wen couldn't stand her making a fuss, so he decided to take her with him.

Shen Yueshu also followed along. She made the decision when she heard that Jiang Wen was going to perform a ritual. She would not miss such an interesting thing, just to see how the ritual was performed.

The old farmer originally wanted to go back by train, but Shen Yueshu was so wealthy that she paid for the plane tickets for several people. They were all upgraded to business class, which was also very comfortable.

Jiang Wen didn't care. For him, flying on a plane was not as fast as flying on his own. But it was the first time for the old farmer to fly on a plane, so everything he saw was new.

A few people boarded a plane and headed south. In just half a day, they arrived at the Southern Province.

As soon as I got off the plane, I felt a wave of heat. The whole world felt like an oven. An ordinary person would sweat profusely after staying there for a while.

"It's so hot, so hot." Shen Yueshu waved her hand and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She had thought that this southern province would be hot, but she didn't expect it to be this hot.

No wonder there is a shortage of water in this land. If it doesn’t rain for a few months, even the extra water will be evaporated.

Jiang Wen, who was standing aside, was not afraid. He was now the heaven and earth, and the universe belonged to him. The change of seasons had no effect on him, and even sitting directly in the stove would be fine. Perhaps he would only be injured if he was close to the surface of the sun.

But he has the fire bead, so he may be able to go to the sun.

Shen Yueshu watched Jiang Wen sweating all over and came over curiously. She felt a cool breeze coming over her, which made her feel as comfortable as drinking ice water.

Shamelessly moving closer to Jiang Wen, the scorching heat in this southern province didn’t seem that severe.

"Can you please keep a distance?" Jiang Wen was annoyed by Shen Yueshu's sticky movements and wanted to push her aside.

Who knew Shen Yueshu would not let go, and looked at him with a smile: "I won't! I'm afraid of the heat! It's more comfortable to stay by your side."

"Who told you to be so full that you didn't stay in Jiangcheng and had to follow me here?" Jiang Wen said. "Who knew it was so hot!" Shen Yueshu looked at Jiang Wen eagerly, feeling a little aggrieved. "I was just curious, and I didn't have anything else to do. So I followed him to see what was going on. But why do you feel so comfortable? It's like you have your own air conditioner."

"...If you practice Taoism deeply, you will naturally be immune to cold and heat." Jiang Wen sighed, then took out a round bead from his arms and handed it to Shen Yueshu.

"Take this, and don't get close to me."

Shen Yueshu saw that the bead was very beautiful, so she grabbed it in her palm. She felt a coolness coming from the bead, and her whole body was no longer hot.

"what is this?"

"It's just a bead." Jiang Wen didn't explain too much. The matter of the Five Elements Beads was complicated to explain.

He was not afraid of losing it if he gave it to Shen Yueshu. After all, losing this thing was no easier than for him to reach the realm of saint in one step.

Following the old farmer out of the airport, the few of them headed towards the outside of the city.

The scenery along the way was like that after a severe drought. The land was cracked, the rivers dried up, and even the once surging rivers were reduced to a trickle.

The old farmer said that today's drought is unusual, and experts say it is rare to see this kind of drought in a century. In the face of this kind of drought, the government has no good solution.

Jiang Wen sat aside and listened, while Bai Jing, who was with him, was falling asleep holding his hand.

Hearing the old farmer's words, Jiang Wen felt that the drought might be related to the interconnection between the two worlds. After all, no matter how dry it was in the past, it would rain once or twice every few months, so it was impossible that there was no water in the river.

When we arrived at the old farmer's residence, it turned out to be a small town.

There aren't many people in the town, and most of them are elderly.

The southern province is full of mountains, so it is not easy to develop. There are not many resources here, so the economy is not as good as the coastal and plain areas. We can only develop some tourism and make some money.

The young people in the town all went out to work, and most of those who stayed were civil servants. Outside the town were large fields and orchards, but unfortunately they had all turned yellow due to the drought.

Following the old farmer to his home, this is still a village in the town. Although the house has been renovated, the pond and dirt road are still there.

The old farmer's family warmly entertained the three people and even brought out the local specialty tea.

After Jiang Wen and the two women sat and rested for a while, the village chief came over.

"Master, you have come all the way here. On behalf of the villagers of Zhao Village, I welcome you." The village chief was an old man with white hair. He also supported the invitation of the Taoist priest, so he was very enthusiastic.

After communicating with the old village chief, everyone decided on a time to perform the ritual.

The old village chief arranged accommodation for Jiang Wen, and the few of them settled down safely.

At night, Jiang Wen lay on his bed and meditated. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, his eyes were as bright as lightning, and he looked outside the room.

"It's interesting that there are monsters appearing here."

The next moment, Jiang Wen was outside the room. He stood in mid-air, overlooking the entire town.
