Saint Immortal Way

91 chapter

"So that's it!" Lu Yang nodded and sighed. He already understood what was going on. To put it bluntly, it was Wang Hongzhi who was wise enough to protect himself and didn't want to get involved.

"I have one more thing to ask, is there any response from the higher-ups to praying for rain with heretical methods?" Lu Yang asked again.

"No reward, no encouragement!" Wang Hongzhi said lightly, as if he was quite surprised by Lu Yang's question.

Lu Yang heaved a sigh of relief, since he didn't reward or advocate, then he fully understood that the officials above just let this kind of thing go, and they didn't see it.

"How about this, my lord will send the request for praying for rain to the academy and urge it to give instructions. At the same time, the lower officials are willing to come forward and pray for rain downstream. No matter what, you have to make a gesture. If the great Confucian of the academy comes down, the rain will be able to fall smoothly immediately Now, if it doesn’t work, in order to appease the excited villagers, the lower officials don’t even care to use heresy tricks, this matter will be handled by the lower officials, and it will definitely not involve adults!”

"This...how good is this, how can I be at peace with this?" Wang Hongzhi was naturally happy in his heart. This was to solve his own problems, but he also took the risk of ruining his reputation. You must know that people in the holy way don't talk about ghosts and fairies. Strange, don't talk about heresy, especially officials, you should set an example. If you commit a crime, it's okay if you don't spread it.

"It's okay, my lord is the parent official of this county, and the official voice is outstanding. It's really not suitable for you to stand out. Then let the lower official come forward. The lower official is waiting for the imperial edict in the Shouyang Palace. It's time to return to the hometown to worship the ancestors, so I'm not afraid of any burden." !” Lu Yang waved his hands and smiled.

"Then I'll have to work, I've recorded this love!" Wang Hongzhi was inexplicably grateful, and he turned his head to look at the people who were still begging, and sighed in his heart.

Originally, he was thinking of going to Shangluji to visit the patriarchs of the Lu clan and ask them to come forward and use some unorthodox rainfall techniques in private to solve the drought. He didn't expect that when he stopped by to visit Lu Yang, Lu Yang would actually say that he would help. Solving this matter is really unintentional.

If this matter can be resolved, that would be the best.

"Lord Lu, how sure are you about this matter?" Wang Hongzhi pulled Lu Yang aside and asked cautiously. Obviously, this matter needs to be clarified.

"My lord, please be at ease. Don't forget that the student's teacher is a great Confucian. If he has no means, he wouldn't dare to agree, not to mention there was a heavy rain here last night!" Lu Yang smiled meaningfully.

"Very good, very good!" Wang Hongzhi was overjoyed and finally relieved.He turned his head and raised his voice to the requesting villagers and said with a smile: "Everyone has heard that Master Lu has promised to pray for rain for you, so please rest assured, with Master Lu here, you will definitely be able to wait." Make it happen!"

The villagers knelt on the ground, all looked up at Lu Yang, showing expressions of disbelief. In their eyes, Lu Yang was still a young man who hadn't reached the crown yet. How could he have the ability to pray for rain?But since the magistrate of the county has guaranteed the ticket, everyone is too embarrassed to contradict him.

"My little lord, I don't know what kind of official you are?" Among the villagers, an old man in his seventies raised his head and asked.

"Don't dare, this old man, folks, please get up first, hehe, to tell you the truth, this official is waiting for an edict in the Palace of Shouyang, and I am an official next to Princess Shouyang in the current dynasty. It's my home, since I've agreed to come forward, everyone can rest assured that if you don't ask for rain, everyone can come to my house to eat and drink in the next six months, and I will have no complaints!"

Now that this is all said, the county magistrate Wang Hongzhi raised his eyebrows coldly, and shouted: "You rascals, why are you so ignorant of good and bad? You asked me to make decisions for you just now. Now I have My idea, you guys don’t agree with it, hehe, you listen carefully, Mr. Lu is young, but he studied under the great Confucianism, and he is very capable, he will definitely be able to pray for the rain, you all can rest assured!"

"Alright, alright, since the county magistrate said so, I will believe it. I just hope that Mr. Lu can understand the hardships we have been waiting for, and ask for the rain, otherwise I will not be able to find anything in the second half of the year!"

"Don't worry!" Lu Yang saluted.One after another, the villagers got up.

Lu Yang was worried, so he pulled Lu Yang over and whispered: "My son, you are so bold, why did you agree? This is not a small matter to pray for rain. If it rains, it's fine. If it doesn't rain, it's fine. Come on, aren't those villagers tearing you up?"

"Mother, don't worry, I'm sure about this!" Lu Yang patted Lu Yang's slightly chubby hand.

"Okay, okay, my son has grown up now, and his ability has grown. Since you are sure, then do it, but you can't be too brave. If you can't, go ask Master Huang. He is a great Confucian, and he should be able to rain. of!"

"Master Lu, when can you leave?" After discussing with the villagers, the old man rushed up to meet him, his eyes full of hope, and he was no longer as desperate as before.

"Okay, I know everyone is anxious, so we can start our journey right away, and let me pack some clothes!" Lu Yang is also a vigorous and resolute person, since he agreed, he will act immediately.

After packing up some clothes, I rode on the strong horse, waved goodbye to the county magistrate, and drifted away with the same group of villagers.

There are several branches in the lower reaches of the Chuiyang River, and the river water irrigates the fertile land for hundreds of miles, but in recent days, the river water has been greatly reduced, and some places have even dried up. rain.

As night fell, Lu Yang arrived at Dawangzhuang, where the drought was severe. There were more than 300 households in this village, and every family planted rice. Now the rice is not growing very well. Originally, it had already begun to mature at this time of year, but due to the drought, the maturity period was delayed. , and the grains that grow are very small. After another ten and a half months, it can barely be harvested, but it will never be a good harvest.

What the farmers are worried about is that the water shortage is so severe that the fields have already cracked. If there is no water, the rice that is about to mature will die of thirst. I am worried...

When Lu Yang arrived at Xiaowangzhuang, the village chief took the lead, and all the villagers came out to greet him, and they had already slaughtered pigs and sheep, which was even more lively than New Year's.

Early the next morning, Lu Yang began to inspect the surroundings of Xiaowangzhuang, and found that all the dealers had turned yellow, and it was estimated that they would soon wither. The situation was more serious than expected.

"Lord Lu, how are you? Can you pray for rain?" The village chief and villagers followed behind Lu Yang. Thousands of people, old and young, stood by the dry river and waited for Lu Yang to speak.

It seems that if Lu Yang speaks, they will live, but if Lu Yang does not speak, they will die. This situation is a bit serious.

"I can't wait for those great Confucians in the academy anymore. Even if they respond at this time, they won't be able to save the drought in a radius of seven or eight hundred miles! Senior, are you sure?" government.

"I said Lu family boy, you have already asked me several times, and I have already said that it can be done by the ancestor, so you don't want mother-in-law!" Ying She became annoyed.

Lu Yang nodded, took a deep breath, and said loudly to the villagers: "Okay, right by the river, prepare an altar immediately, set up a yellow mud river god, three animals and six animals, seasonal fruits and vegetables, paper money and joss sticks, Nothing is missing!"

When the villagers heard it, they all cheered.The village head even shouted again and again: "Hurry up, hurry up, those village strongmen with shovels, immediately move according to Master Lu's orders, and do what Master Lu tells you to do, don't talk too much!"

Dozens of villagers began to shovel up the yellow mud by the river, piled it up reluctantly, and cast a simple rough idol whose brows could not be seen clearly, and installed an incense burner in front of the idol, and a simple wild temple was built. .

People in the village, old and young, as well as village women and little girls, all took out the things at home and gathered them in front of the wild temple to worship. There was no shortage of three animals, six animals, incense and paper money. Into a piece, the power of incense and vows faintly converged on the god of Huangnihe, which attracted the attention of thousands of villagers.

In the invisible realm of mortals, a little bit of white incense and wish power gathered, forming an indelible aura on the statue. Although it was still very thin, it finally had an effect.

Holding a jasper ruyi in his hand, Lu Yang bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, wrote a composition to worship the sky, and then sacrificed to the river god. It took a full hour for all the procedures to be completed, and the "etiquette" procedures were done enough.

"Okay, senior, let's start to spread the rain, and we'll see senior's ability!" Lu Yang thought.

"Hey, kid from the Lu family, you can rest assured. If you want to talk about the art of moving clouds and spreading rain, in this world, apart from ancient true dragons, I am the best at responding to snakes. How can I say that I am also a genus of ancient true dragons?" , Flying clouds and spreading rain is an innate supernatural power. Even a great Confucian who can control all kinds of evil spirits can't compare with the ancestor!"

As Ying Snake spoke proudly, Lu Yang felt the Qi Palace vibrate, and all the qi in the Qi Palace tumbling, scattered limbs and bones, leaked out from 4000 million pores, and instantly turned into circles of evil spirits invisible to the naked eye. spread in all directions.

Lu Yang was like a big rock, which fell into a big lake on the ground, causing ripples immediately!These ripples are the black evil spirit, because it is too thin, so mortals can't feel its essence, but it doesn't prevent them from feeling the strong wind rising out of thin air, blowing in all directions from near the statue.

"It's windy, haha, it's windy, we're saved!" The villagers' clothes flapped and their hair was blown up by the strong wind, feeling icy cold and very comfortable.

This is not Lu Yang's own Taoist cultivation, but Ying Snake's ability!In the past few days, Lu Yang has been able to feel the power of Ying Snake. Although he only saw one or two points of his ability, it was enough to shock Lu Yang. According to Lu Yang's estimate, Ying Snake should be comparable to a great Confucian.

I don't know how powerful this snake was in its heyday before the thunder catastrophe. It is estimated that it is an existence that even a master can't surrender, maybe only a saint can surrender.
