Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 662 Ask Yunzhongjun to Bring Wind and Rain

Looking at the Yunzhong Jun in front of him, there was also a look of sadness on the face of the King of Chu.

When Yun Zhongjun returned to the State of Chu, he did not go there in his real body, but instead entrusted himself to Qu Mao - it was Yun Zhongjun's spirit that manifested in Qu Mao's body.

In other words, Qu Mao at this time has become an "incarnation" of Yun Zhongjun.

There were three surnames among the royal family of the State of Chu: one was Xiong, who was the royal family and in charge of government affairs; one was Xiang, who led the army; and one was Qu, who was the chief priest.

Although the three are not one family, they are as close as one.

The relationship between Yunzhongjun's priest Qu Mao and the King of Chu was extremely close.

The King of Chu was not sure what kind of Yun Zhongjun he was in front of him - but he believed in Qu Mao.

Therefore, he also believed that the Yunzhongjun recognized by Qu Mao, the Yunzhongjun whom he "invited" back at the cost of his own life, must be a Yunzhongjun who would be of great benefit to the State of Chu.

He is also the real Lord of the Clouds.

Therefore, although he was extremely sad about Qu Mao's death and even had some resentment towards Yun Zhongjun, the King of Chu still suppressed his resentment and told the ministers in the palace about Yun Zhongjun's origin in order to verify his identity.

"Luoyi is the place where the king of men lives, where all the gods live, and the most beautiful place between heaven and earth."

"After the priest Qu Mao stepped into the royal capital, he was touched by the gods and then he was blessed by Lord Yunzhong."

The King of Chu talked about the origin of Yun Zhongjun - he was not some wild god that misled people, but Qu Mao himself carried the authority of Yun Zhongjun and was Yun Zhongjun's agent. After he came to Luoyi, in the city of Luoyi, wise men discussed Taoism, immortals performed magic, and under the resonance of the great way, Yun Zhongjun was led down from the dark land.

However, although they had the certification of the King of Chu, the other officials of Chu who came to Luoyi together still behaved extremely cautiously in front of Yun Zhongjun.

While their attitude was cautious, their actions were extremely wild and bold.

There was also a ceremonial officer who took out a personal ceremonial vessel - it was a piece of blue jade, an important vessel for offering sacrifices to heaven.

The jade disk is used for offering sacrifice to heaven, and then it is made into a blue color, which is called Cangbi.

It looks like it is only the size of a palm, but in fact, it carries humanity's "sacrifice" to the heaven. It contains the concept of heaven, which has immeasurable weight and unfathomable power, and can connect the power of heaven and earth with the heaviness of humanity at the same time.

To put it another way, this is something that only "human power" can lift - a symbol of the heavens being carried by humanity.

Not to mention those evil creatures, even an ordinary Taiyi immortal god, using all his magical powers, could not lift this small Cang Bi.

Because it is one of the symbols of heaven, its existence has a natural repulsion to those "evil spirits" that are harmful to humanity.

If the 'Lord of the Clouds' on the seat is a demon incarnate and has ulterior motives towards the State of Chu, then something strange will definitely appear on this blue jade.

When the King of Chu took the Cang Bi presented by the ceremonial officer and then gave the Jade Bi to another important minister, during the whole process, there was no sign of anything unusual on the Cang Bi. The king and his ministers in the hall then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This at least proves that the Yunzhongjun identified by Qu Mao was not an evil god.

After heaving a sigh of relief, the emperor and his ministers in the palace moved on to the next step.

Some ministers began to get angry with Yun Zhongjun.

"Your Majesty, the Lord of the Clouds, has been worshipped by our nation for thousands of years."

"For thousands of years, Yunzhong Jun has received countless incense and worship, but he has not made any contribution to our country."

"In the past, gods and humans were separate, and the gods did not step foot on the earth, so that was fine."

"But now that the Lord of the Clouds has shown his sageliness, I would like to ask a question."

"What magical powers do you have, Lord of the Clouds? Why have you been worshipped by our country for a thousand years?"

"Your Majesty, if the resources spent on the thousand-year sacrifice were used to raise troops, then the hegemon of heaven and earth today would not be Qi, but our Chu."

Hearing this, Ao Bing suddenly felt a familiar feeling in his heart.

It's the style of the Chu State - or rather, the style of the demon clan.

Although there is some disguise, it cannot hide the straightforward thoughts.

This minister seemed to be questioning the sacrifices made by Lord Yunzhong over the past thousand years and felt sorry for the money used for the sacrifices.

But in fact, he was asking: What real benefits will Ao Bing, the "Lord of the Clouds", bring to the State of Chu after he shows his divine power?

The benefits of this will have a bearing on the future popularity of Yun Zhongjun in the State of Chu.

If the benefits are great, then the Chu State will naturally continue to worship Yun Zhongjun as usual, and it is not impossible that the standards will even be raised a little.

If the benefits are not enough, or if there are no benefits at all, then you, the divine Lord Yunzhong, should just return to your dark place and honestly make a clay sculpture or wood sculpture in the State of Chu, and don't even dream of getting anything from the State of Chu.

At the other end, Qu Mao, who was watching through the water mirror, smiled bitterly, then bowed and apologized to Ao Bing, "Lord God, the people of Chu have always been so straightforward. I hope you will not be offended."

Too direct!
Too rough!

Even though Qu Mao himself was a native of the State of Chu, he could not help but hold his forehead when he saw the image of the King and his ministers of Chu fishing with straight hooks in the water mirror.

If he were to take action, he would not ask Yun Zhongjun for his authority himself, but would take out the scriptures related to Yun Zhongjun in the Taiyi mythology system and ask Yun Zhongjun to "correct" them to see if there were any errors in what was said in those scriptures.

During this process, the true authority of "Lord of the Clouds" will naturally and gradually become apparent through the correction of the scriptures.

"Being more direct may not be a bad thing." Ao Bing said to Qu Mao.

The one standing here is the real Qu Mao - as for the Qu Mao who appeared before the king and his ministers of Chu State, he was actually just a mortal created by Ao Bing based on the Qu Mao in front of him.

After all, a righteous god cannot possess a body - even though the god of humanity is different from the god of heaven, both Yun Zhongjun and Ao Bing are the same person. Ao Bing will naturally not use the identity of Yun Zhongjun to invade Qu Mao's body, do something self-deceiving, and leave himself with a huge flaw.

Ao Bing didn't even plan to use Qu Mao's identity, let alone his body.

——After his identity is confirmed by the king and ministers of Chu, Qu Mao will die, and his flesh and blood body will immediately dissipate. Then, Ao Bing's thoughts will fall into the statue of Yun Zhongjun and be taken back to Chu.

As he spoke, Ao Bing's expression was extremely calm. Instead of being offended, he looked a little happy.

After all, this kind of trading attitude is what he needs.

What is a transaction?

If neither party owes the other anything, then it is a deal!
When the relationship between him and the State of Chu was measured by the fact that neither owed the other anything, he would be less bound by the spirit of humanity, and his chances of winning in the struggle with humanity would be greater. Of course, Ao Bing was happy, but Qu Mao was not so happy.

He sacrificed his own life and took away the authority of Lord Yunzhong. What he wanted was certainly not for Ao Bing and the State of Chu to make a deal and then leave - what he wanted was for Ao Bing and the State of Chu to be further bound together.

However, the development of the situation was not as he expected. The king and his ministers of Chu State did not know the true identity of Yunzhong Jun, nor did they want to be too closely tied to this 'Yunzhong Jun'.

"We can only rely on future generations." Qu Mao sighed secretly - he believed in the education of the younger generations by the State of Chu.

When they discovered the true power of Yunzhongjun, the younger generations of Chu would naturally try to tie Yunzhongjun up and put him on the chariot of Chu.

……

"My divine power and authority?" In the hall, Qu Mao, who seemed more and more sacred and detached from the world, smiled. "Isn't it clearly written in your scriptures?"

Such an ordinary sentence exploded in the hall like thunder, making everyone in the hall feel confused.

It is written in the scriptures...

In the Taiyi mythology system, can what is written in the scriptures be taken as the truth?

The Taiyi mythology system is a dual system. The first core of the mythology is naturally Taiyi - the second is Yun Zhongjun.

Needless to say, Taiyi's authority and might are beyond words. In order to echo Taiyi's existence, Yunzhongjun's authority is naturally exaggerated to the utmost in the scriptures.

Controlling wind and rain, ruling the heaven and earth, controlling all spirits, and knowing good and bad fortune...

Even the life and death in the underworld are under the authority of Yun Zhongjun.

And at this moment, the Yun Zhongjun in front of him was actually saying that his authority was really as recorded in the scriptures?

How is that possible!

Can the authority of Yunzhongjun recorded in the scriptures be borne by a born god?
Can the thousand-year-old incense offerings from the Chu State really support such a powerful god?

The rulers and ministers of Chu were aware of this.

"My Lord, you must not speak nonsense." The minister who was angry spoke again, "The sentiments of our Chu State are not the same as those of other countries. In the territory of Chu State, there are countless mountain spirits and water monsters, as well as countless dragons, tigers and other species."

"The Lord of God has such great power. After he returns to the State of Chu, he will surely be worshipped by all and sought after by the people."

“By then, whether it’s the disturbing mountain spirits and water monsters, or the conflicts between the various sects and the big monsters, we will have to ask the God to intervene.”

"If the Lord God is lying about this matter of power, it would be difficult for us mortals to expose it, but those unruly demons are not so easy to talk to."

Although the minister's attitude was very disrespectful and might very well anger the Lord Yunzhong in front of him, all the kings and ministers in the palace watched the minister perform calmly.

Even if it were to anger Yun Zhongjun, it would be better than being deceived by his power and causing trouble in Chu State - Taiyi mythology spread to every aspect of Chu State. If Yun Zhongjun was knocked to the ground by other demon gods after returning to Chu State, the impact would be much worse than angering Yun Zhongjun now.

"Are you testing me?" Yun Zhongjun still had a smile on his face. Bits of cloud appeared out of thin air and spread over Qu Mao's body, making his face and figure gradually become blurred, and more and more in line with the image represented by the three words 'Yun Zhongjun'.

"Three thousand miles west of the capital, there has been no rain in eight years, and there are signs of a severe drought." The minister remained unafraid.

"Since the Lord of God has supreme magical powers, please use your mighty power to bless all things and relieve the suffering of the people."

This was to allow Yun Zhongjun to demonstrate his ability to control wind and rain - for a vassal state like the State of Chu, whether Yun Zhongjun had the ability to control wind and rain was more important than anything else!

This is the place where the human spirit is the strongest.

Outside the city, there were many Taiyi battles.

If Yun Zhongjun can make it rain in a drought-stricken area three thousand miles away despite these two interferences, it will be enough to prove his control over wind and rain.

Once I return to Chu and get the support of the people of Chu, the entire Chu country will be prosperous.

As for Yun Zhongjun's ability in fighting and combat - if he can even control the wind and rain, what else does he need?
With the support of the entire Chu State, who among the immortal sects and demon gods within the Chu State would be willing to risk falling out with the Chu State and target Yun Zhongjun, who has the support of the entire Chu State?
The place the minister was pointing to was three thousand miles west of Luoyi - it was none other than the territory of the State of Shen.

Before Qi became powerful and hegemonic, Shen State, which "colluded" with Rongdi, had already been excluded by many princes. After Qi became hegemonic, it also dealt a heavy blow to Shen State.

Under such circumstances, the relationship between Shen and Chu was rather ambiguous. The rulers and ministers of Chu also hoped that Shen could recover a little to share the pressure from Qi.

So at this time, the ministers of the Chu State wanted to verify the authority of Yun Zhongjun, and the place they chose for verification was a dry area within the territory of the Shen State.

Before Chu proposed this, the king of Shen had already organized several rain-seeking ceremonies in the country, and during this process, Taiyi immortals communicated with heaven and earth and tried to move water vapor from other places...

However, the fact that Shen State colluded with Rongdi to capture Haojing really angered many gods in heaven. Therefore, no matter how the people of Shen State prayed, no rain fell.

Those Taiyi immortals who tried to forcibly move the water vapor became obedient after two of them were chased and struck to death by thunder, and they were unwilling to care about the affairs of the Shen Kingdom anymore.

In this case, if Yunzhongjun could control the wind and rain and moisten the drought-stricken areas of Shen State, then his control over rain would naturally be confirmed.

Ao Bing naturally knew what the situation was like in the State of Shen.

The fundamental purpose of wind and rain between heaven and earth is to regulate the great cycle of water vapor in the entire heaven and earth, not to bring good weather and harvest to the human world.

Therefore, for the Heavenly Court, as long as it can ensure that there are no problems with the water vapor circulation of the entire heaven and earth, and that the circulating water vapor has sufficient redundancy that is not affected by the battles between immortals and gods, then when determining the wind and rain, where there is more wind and rain and where there is less wind and rain will not affect the overall situation of the Heavenly Court.

As for the situation in Haojing, the Jade Emperor was humiliated, but could do nothing about Ao Bing, so he vented his dissatisfaction on the State of Shen, which was in collusion with the Rongdi. He diverted the rain that should have fallen in the State of Shen to other places, and also brought the drought that should have fallen elsewhere to the State of Shen.

To put it more precisely, the Jade Emperor did not transfer the drought from other places to the State of Shen, but rather accumulated the drought that should have fallen on the State of Shen for thousands of years through dispatch, and then released it all at once.

At the same time, in order to prevent disasters caused by resentment caused by the drought, the power of the sun sweeping through the territory of Shen State was far greater than that of other places. As a result, the drought in Shen State became more severe.

Even if the water gods under Ao Bing's command in the territory turned a blind eye to the practitioners' diversion of water vapor from the rivers, it would not affect the overall situation.

"Your Majesty, can you do it?" the minister asked again.

"Wind and rain are nothing." The misty aura on Yun Zhongjun's body became thicker and thicker, and his figure became more ethereal.

"Tonight at 3:00 a.m., within the territory of Shen State, there will be wind and rain."

"The rain will not stop for three days." In the mist, Yun Zhongjun's breath, along with the body of 'Qu Mao', had disappeared.

At this time, the emperor and his ministers in the palace did not care about the disappeared Lord Yun Zhong, but hurriedly sent orders to invite an immortal god and a martial arts master, and ordered them to fly quickly to the land of Shen State.
