Late Tang

Long drought meets rain!

It was raining heavily, at first it rained like beans, and after a while it was pouring down, as if the Milky Way fell into nine heavens all of a sudden.

However, although the rain was heavy, no one was in a hurry to go home. It has been dry for more than half a year. God has not had a real heavy rain this year. Like a horse urinating, it stopped before wetting the face.It's hard to come by such a heavy rain now, and it's the dog days right now. Although the rain is heavy, it's just chilling.

Many people have found it difficult to even drink water during this period of time, and naturally they have no conditions for bathing. Now they are cheering loudly in the rain and taking a heavenly bath.

Li Jing was also so excited that he couldn't help himself, it really rained, it really rained at noon today as mentioned earlier.Moreover, Li Liang and the others let people say that it was raining at noon today that they had agreed with the Dragon King.Li Jing knew how timely this rain was.Not only can it effectively alleviate the current drought, but more importantly, after such a rain, Li Jing is really going to become a magic stick.

When he created Shenhuo and Feihuo earlier, Li Jing borrowed that the Dragon King of the East China Sea entrusted him with a dream, and taught himself these two things.This matter once attracted many people to believe, and covered Li Jing with a veil of mystery.However, although some people believe it, there are still some people who don't believe it.But this time is different, although some people can predict the rain, but like the current rain, no more than one person in the world can predict it.

And because of what Li Liang and the others told people to spread in advance, that Li Jing asked the Dragon King to borrow rain in his dream, and promised that the Dragon King would come to rain at noon today. As a result, it really rained at noon today.

Now, Li Jing can believe that his title as the envoy of the dragon is settled.In such an era, being able to add some mythology is of great effect to ordinary people.

Previously, there was the matter of using work instead of relief to relieve the victims, and now there is this matter of borrowing rain from the Dragon King. Li Jing believes that in Dengzhou, his people's hearts have finally been strengthened.

After wiping the rainwater off his face, Li Jing looked up to the sky and laughed.

Smiling proudly, suddenly something mixed in the rain fell directly into Li Jing's mouth.

Li Jing stretched out his hand to touch it, and it was not slippery. When he took a look in front of him, he couldn't help being surprised, what was actually in his hand was an octopus!

Li Jing blinked several times, but couldn't understand what was going on.It was a fresh octopus, even alive, struggling in his hand.He looked around, he lived on the nine-zhang high altar, except for him, 36 virgin boys and 72 virgins, no one else would dare to climb such a sacred rain-prayer altar.And those more than 100 teenagers and girls had long forgotten the caution when praying for rain, and they were playing in the rain one by one, far away from him.

Just when Li Jing couldn't figure it out, there was a sudden slap, and his head was hit again, Li Jing hurriedly lowered his head to take a look.It turned out to be another fish, this time, it was a prawn.

Immediately afterwards, things continued to fall in the rain, and there were many fish jumping on the altar. Besides fish, there were shrimps, crabs, and sea turtles.

The rain came very suddenly, and it ended very suddenly. It stopped after only an hour. However, due to the heavy rain, although it only lasted an hour, a lot of rainwater accumulated on the ground.It can be seen that this rain can greatly alleviate the current drought.

After the rain, the tens of thousands of Dengzhou people who were drowned were all laughing and laughing.Moreover, the laughter was mixed with excitement and some confusion and fear.

The reason is very simple, around the altar of praying for rain, within a range of nearly one mile, the heavy rain just now, the Dragon King not only rained down heavily, but also sent down countless shrimp soldiers, crab generals and fishes of all sizes.

It's raining heavily, and there are fish in the sky!

Spanish mackerel, hairtail, large yellow flower, small yellow flower, abalone, red crab, black fish, mackerel, wahoo, tuna, salmon, turbot, herring, sardines, pomfret, cod, cuttlefish, squid, eel, grouper , horse face fish, clove fish and so on.There are even many prawns and turtles!

It actually rained in the sky, which is something no one has ever encountered before.The boss of Dengzhou was at a loss for the fish that fell from the sky, and these fish were not one or two, but everywhere, within a mile of the altar, there were fish everywhere.

Li Jing quickly got off the altar, stepping on the fish with his bare feet several times along the way, almost falling over.

There are fish in the sky, Li Jing has heard of such things in his later generations.

According to Li Jing's understanding, such a phenomenon should be caused by a tornado.Most tornadoes occur in hot summer, when the sun shines on the earth, the surface is heated rapidly, and the air near the surface is heated rapidly, forming a strong upward movement of the air.Due to the high water vapor content in the air, once the air rises to a high altitude, cumulonimbus clouds will form.

The top and bottom of cumulonimbus clouds are cold and hot, and the temperature difference is huge. The cold air keeps sinking, and the hot air rises. The upper and lower air are constantly disturbed, forming many small vortices.The small vortex slowly rotates and expands, and finally becomes a small funnel-shaped, fast-rotating wind, which is called a tornado. One end of the tornado may be in contact with the ground, and the other end is connected with the high-altitude cumulonimbus cloud. The diameter can reach The length ranges from tens of meters to 1000 meters.

The tornado has a strong gravitational force, which can absorb objects on the ground into the sky and float with the wind. roll.Tornadoes can also effortlessly carry the objects sucked into the air to 10 meters, or even 30 meters away, and then throw them to the ground.

Therefore, not only water, fish, but also various other objects fell from the sky.For example, 55 years ago, there was a millet rain in Kaifeng, Henan; wheat rain in Spain in 1804; shrimp rain in Denmark in the early 19th century; and frog rain in France in 1960.Surprisingly, there was a rain of silver coins in Russia in 1940, which made the local residents ecstatic for a while.

In the summer of 1974, the sky over northern Australia was suddenly clouded with heavy rain.More than 1 bass descended from the sky amid the torrential rain.

There are fish in the sky, such things rarely happen, but they are not impossible.

It's just that such a thing may have a probability of one in [-], or even one in a million, but he can still meet today's Qi Yu. What surprised Li Jing even more is that everyone said before that He made an agreement with the Dragon King that it would rain today, and it did rain today, and now there are fishes, which is really rare in a thousand years.

But if you think about it carefully, Dengzhou is close to the sea. The tornado on the sea rolled up the fish, and then blew it to Dengzhou, which seems to make sense.

But the people of Dengzhou don't know this, and don't think so.What they couldn't imagine was that this rain was borrowed by Li Jing from the Dragon Palace, and this fish might also be borrowed by Li Jing from the Dragon King.

There are fish everywhere on the ground, but no one dares to pick them up. They are all belongings of the Dragon King, who dares to pick them up easily.

Li Jing rushed to the altar with his whole body wet, and tens of thousands of people in Dengzhou stood there with different expressions.Even the two brothers Li Liang and Li Zhen, as well as Guo Chengan and Zhang Hong, all looked confused. When they saw Li Jing, they hurried over and asked softly, "Before the rain, did you see the Lord waving to the sky?" Yelling, are you talking to the Dragon King. And this fish, is it related to this?"

Looking at Zhang Hong who was looking at him expectantly, and Brother Li Liang and others who were also waiting for an answer, Li Jing wanted to explain the reason for the tornado, but finally closed his mouth. Those people beside him who were also surprised and uneasy knew that even if he really explained it, the people would not believe it.Turning around and thinking about it, it's better to make this matter a little more mysterious.It is said that feudal superstition kills people, but judging from the results of the last time he played the magic fire and said that it was given by the Dragon King, such a thing is actually good for him.

After a pause, Li Jing laughed out loud, attracting the eyes and ears of countless people.Then he said loudly on purpose: "I had a dream last night. I dreamed that I was sitting in the Governor's Mansion reviewing official documents. Suddenly an old man came to see me outside the door. He claimed to be the envoy of the Dragon King of the East China Sea and said that the Dragon King of the East Sea wanted to see me. I went out of the mansion with him and walked to the Dengzhou pier. Suddenly, a big turtle came up in the sea, with a beautiful room on its back. The old man invited me to climb on the back of the turtle. After entering the room, there was nothing. After a long time, it fell to the East China Sea Dragon Palace. The Dragon Palace is all built of crystal, a real crystal palace, crystal clear and shining."

Those people listened intently, but no one objected.

"and after!"

Li Jing smiled when he saw everyone's appearance, and continued to make up: "Later, I saw the Dragon King of the East China Sea. The Dragon King was wearing a crown suit, a scale crown, and a sun and moon robe. Dragon horns like deer antlers. When I saw the Dragon King, I asked the Dragon King for rain. The Dragon King told me that the severe drought was a punishment from God. However, after reading the incense worship of the people in Dengzhou to the Dragon King and my sincerity, he said that he was willing to be the master. Our rain was originally said to last only half an hour, but I begged for a long time before I finally promised an hour. I also said that in the end it would depend on the sincerity of the people in Dengzhou.”

"And then?" Someone in the crowd couldn't help asking loudly.

"Then, the Dragon King left me to drink a lot of fine wine and delicious food in the Dragon Palace. The wine was too delicious, so I drank a few more glasses, and then I got drunk. Then, when I got drunk, it dawned and I found out that it was a dream. one game."

"This is not a dream, but the dragon king sent the old turtle to send the envoy back after the envoy was drunk." Someone immediately announced the truth, which attracted everyone's support.

"Master Shijun, what's the matter with this fish, were you talking to the Dragon King on the altar earlier?" Someone asked loudly.

Li Jing said: "I saw Yunqi on the stage earlier, and I also remembered the scene in my dream that night, but I didn't see the Dragon King, so I thanked that Yunzhong for the rain. After that, it rained heavily and the sky fell Haiyu, I thought, this should be a gift from the Dragon King to see us in trouble."

"It must be so. The Dragon King must have seen that there are too many of us, so it is inconvenient to reveal our real body." Li Liang also said hastily.

Li Jing smiled and said: "This is the Dragon King's grievance to my people in Dengzhou. Don't worry, everyone, just pick up the fish."

With this explanation, everyone finally felt uneasy and started to pick up fish one after another.It took more than an hour to pick up all the fish, but the people did not dare to keep them privately, and handed them all over to the Governor's Mansion.There are more than 50 fish, large and small, as well as many shrimps, crabs, sea turtles, etc., totaling more than [-] catties.

Li Jing called these fish a gift from the Sea Dragon King, so every family in Dengzhou got one or two fish.In addition, Li Jing divided the remaining fish into two parts, one part was sent to Qingzhou Songwei, and the other part was filled with water for some alive fish and ice for other dead fish, and Li Jing put Regarding the two matters of begging for fish and the gift of the Dragon King to send the fish, I wrote them in memorials, and sent them to the capital to the emperor.

Since this rain only fell to most parts of Dengzhou, it didn't even fall to the nearby Laizhou and Qingzhou.Legends such as Li Jing's dream of entering the Dragon Palace to borrow rain, and the Dragon King sending fish in the rain spread more and more widely.Not only has everyone in Dengzhou heard such stories, but even Laizhou, Qingzhou and other places have begun to recite these legends, and the more they spread, the more magical they become.

From then on, every family in Dengzhou enshrined the god of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and the incense in the Dragon King Temple of the East China Sea became more and more prosperous, and Li Jing was also chanted as the messenger of the dragon by countless people!
