Chapter 596 Pray for Rain
The code word is not easy, beg for a full order support!
Alchemy is not only an auxiliary method, but also a kind of cultivation.The grasp of true energy and timing requires very precise.

During the days in the alchemist's mansion, Li Xiao did not stop alchemy, but became more diligent.

After some experiments, Li Xiao discovered that the Fire Spirit Orb obtained from the Qilin Cave could better condense the breath of fire in the air, so that Li Xiao could better stimulate the vitality of the fire element.

During such an intense alchemy process, some of the medicinal materials stored in the alchemist's mansion were quickly exhausted, but Li Xiao was not in the slightest panic about this.

Because the mountains in Nanzhao Kingdom are full of jungles, and there are many treasures in the mountains. Every time he goes into the deep mountains to explore, he returns with a full load every time. This is simply a place rich in natural medicinal materials. Moreover, many years are relatively old, which is suitable for alchemy.

After the infusion of these medicinal materials, Li Xiao also refined several furnaces of elixirs one after another. Some of these elixirs were given to Queen Wu and Ling'er by him, and he would take some of the top-grade ones by himself. , used to prolong life, and the rest are stored in the system space for other uses.

During this process, there were still quite a few Nanzhao ministers who came to visit, obviously with the intention of flattering them. Li Xiao also treated these ministers in two ways.

Some of the ministers were pure fools. Neither Li Xiao nor Bai Yue wanted to offend them. While visiting Li Xiao, they also did not want to offend Bai Yue.

For these people, Li Xiao didn't have much affection, and held an indifferent attitude, and even gradually alienated them.

And there are some people, their purpose is also very clear, that is, they want to find a big banner in the court hall of Nanzhao led by Li Xiao, these people gather around Li Xiao and Elder Shi, the goal is To jointly fight against those who worship the moon, Li Xiao naturally has no hesitation for these people, and also sends a signal of goodwill to them, recruiting them, and secretly accumulating strength.

……

……

this day.

After many days of silence, Moon Worship suddenly issued an edict in the name of the Moon God, announcing to the world that the Moon Worship Sect will hold a ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven on the altar of the main helm three days later.

Worshiping the Moon is not only the high priest of Nanzhao, but also the leader of the Moon Worship Sect. There are many followers of the Moon Worship Sect in the whole Nanzhao, and its influence is extremely huge. It can be said that it exists in almost all walks of life. sensitive.In just one day, this edict can be said to have spread throughout Nanzhao.

When Li Xiao saw this edict, his brows could not help but wrinkle.

"What the hell is this moon worship?"

Li Xiao also felt suspicious in his heart.

You must know that the most important festival of the Moon Worship Festival is the Moon Goddess's birthday, but now more than a month has passed since the Festival of the Moon.However, why did he want to publish such an imperial edict in such a grand manner at this time? What is his purpose?

Could it be that for the Moon Worship Sect, is there anything more important than the Xiyue Festival, or is there some ulterior purpose for this month worship?

Li Xiao rubbed his chin, and he couldn't help being immersed in his thoughts. Several thoughts flashed through his mind, but when these thoughts first popped up, Li Xiao shook his head and denied them.

Perhaps, the real purpose of worshiping the moon will only be revealed after three days.

……

……

Three days later, countless Moon Worshipers and Nanzhao people, like a dense torrent, swarmed towards the altar in the capital from all directions.

There was a great crowd of people, shoulder to shoulder, and with the influx of these people, the huge Nanzhao capital became smaller for the first time, and it was about to accommodate so many people, it seemed that the entire capital was about to burst Usually, however, there are still more people coming here from all directions.

At noon, the area around the altar was already crowded with people. The entire square was almost filled with figures, and there was no place to stay. There were many moon worshipers among them, and their faces were filled with excitement.

Not only them, many people from the court were also invited for this moon worship, including the Witch King, Witch Queen, Li Xiao and Elder Shi, who were all sitting on the high platform.

I saw Baiyue standing in the very center of the altar, with lowered eyebrows, long hair with a few strands of silver flowing freely without wind, and his breath was erratic. His whole body unexpectedly revealed a look of compassion.His pair of calm eyes are ancient and calm, making it impossible to see what is going on in his heart.

Seeing this scene in his eyes, Li Xiao couldn't help frowning, he turned slightly sideways, and asked Shi Chang next to him with a puzzled look: "Elder Shi, do you know that this moon worship is so serious?" With great fanfare, what do you intend to do?"

Elder Shi shook his head, also showing puzzled surprise: "According to common sense, the most important festival of the Moon Worship Sect is the Xiyue Festival one month ago, which is the birthday of the Moon Goddess, but If so, worshiping the moon is just to gain the momentum of hundreds of believers. But today's scene is even bigger than that of the Xiyue Festival. What is the purpose?"

Elder Shi showed a pensive expression.

"Even Elder Shi has no way of knowing."

When Li Xiao heard this, the doubts in his heart became even worse.

You know, as the elder of the three dynasties, Elder Shi has a very wide network of contacts in the court, and his subordinates even have a special intelligence department to collect all kinds of information about worshiping the moon, and there are even many people who have infiltrated into the worshiping moon. Eyeliner, you must know that last time, the news that worshiping the moon wanted to build the Moon God Temple and practice the evil moon Dafa was the information obtained by Elder Shi's intelligence department.

But even so, Elder Shi did not receive any news or omens before. It can be seen from this that the act of worshiping the moon was very sudden. Why did this happen?

After thinking to no avail, Li Xiao temporarily suppressed his thoughts, and turned his attention to worshiping the moon on the altar.

……

……

The scorching sun was shining in the sky, coupled with the incomparable noise around the altar, and the steaming hot air, it was about to turn this place into a steamer, but this still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of many moon worshipers.

The time has come, I saw worshiping the moon with drooping brows, a sharp light suddenly shot out from his eyes, and he said slowly: "By the will of the heavens, the moon god said, and in the past few years, An unprecedented drought broke out in Nanzhao, and the people suffered greatly from it. However, as a great god, the Moon God will naturally bless all living beings and cherish the world. Therefore, today, worshiping the moon is to pray for the rain on the land of Nanzhao rainwater!"

Baiyue's lips moved slightly, but that resonant voice was transmitted into everyone's ears extremely resonantly. There was an inexplicable majesty in those words, like a voice from outside the sky, enough to shock the mind of man.

When his eyes swept over Li Xiao who was on the high platform, there was a slight cunning in his eyes.

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar at the scene.

"Pray for rain?"

Li Xiao's mind couldn't help but move slightly when he heard the words of worshiping the moon on the altar.Unexpectedly, the purpose of worshiping the moon today is to pray for rain, but looking at the scorching sun in the sky, how can we pray for rain?

He exchanged a look with Elder Shi at the side, and they both saw surprise and doubt in each other's eyes.

But the Witch King on the high platform was refreshed at this time, and got up from the seat, and there was a look of anticipation in his scorching eyes.

You must know that Nanzhao Kingdom has suffered from unprecedented droughts in the past few years, lakes and rivers have dried up, and there is a lot of grief. As the monarch of a country, the Witch King is naturally worried and haggard. It can be said that this has long been a He couldn't get rid of the serious trouble in his heart.

But at this time, Baiyue actually said that he wanted to pray for rain. At this time, no matter whether Baiyue was really successful or not, at least there was hope in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, the moon worship on the altar began to move, and he began to face the statue of the moon god, chanting ancient and obscure spells.

Amidst the sound of thunderous drums, the disciples on the stage began to dance, stepping on mysterious footsteps, dancing an ancient dance.

As the practice continued, there seemed to be a kind of witchcraft fluctuations circulating on the altar, giving people a very strange feeling. Everyone was closely watching the act of worshiping the moon, and the vast The dome, however, didn't seem to have changed at all, the scorching sun was still scorching the earth.

……

……

But just half an hour later.

Under the golden scorching sun, a strange gust of wind suddenly blew away the pent-up heat in the air, bringing a sense of coolness to people. Immediately, the blue sky and white clouds in the sky gradually The ground dimmed, and then dark clouds surged, covering the entire sky like a black veil.

Amidst people's cries of surprise, a transparent liquid streaked across the sky, and bean-like raindrops fell on the ground, on the top of people's heads and Immediately, the bean-like heavy rain grew heavier and turned into a majestic torrential rain.

"Look, it's raining from the sky."

"It's raining, it's raining, after three years, it's finally raining again on the land of Nanzhao."

"This is the blessing of the Moon God, and it's all a gift from Lord Bai Yue!"

There are four great happy events in life, namely, sweet rains after a long drought, old acquaintances in a foreign land, festive nights in the cave, and the time of being named on the gold list.This long drought and sweet rain are ranked first, and at this time, with the rain from the sky falling on the earth, it finally took away the drought that had shrouded the earth for a long time.

All the people cheered loudly. Some people held up a puddle of rainwater with their hands, some opened their mouths and gulped down the rainwater, and some even rolled in the rain with extremely excited expressions. Like madness.

"After three full years, the earth has finally rained rain. This is the blessing and gift of the Moon God." The Witch King got up from his seat excitedly, with his arms wide open, bathing in the majestic rain , ignoring the rain that wet his clothes, his face was filled with surprise.

Elder Shi, Tang Yu Xiaobao, and a group of other ministers were also surprised and surprised at this time. It was a bright day just now, but they didn't expect that such a heavy rain suddenly fell in just a short moment. It was unbelievable, but the raindrops dripping from the sky and the moisture in the air reminded them all the time that this was real.

"All of this is brought to us by Lord Baiyue, and it is he who brought us blessings."

"Long live the moon worshiper, long live the moon worshiper!"

Bathed in the heavy rain, all the believers of the Moon Worshipers cast incomparably admiring eyes on the Moon Worshipers. The fanatical look seemed to be paying homage to a god who descended from the sky. People couldn't help but cheered in unison. The huge sound wave, one after another, seemed to penetrate the sky.

Baiyue stood tall and proud on the altar, although he tried his best to put on an appearance of compassion and kindness, but it was difficult to hide the complacent look in his eyes, compared to the Witch King on the high platform, it seemed like He is the one who accepts the worship of all people, and he is the supreme existence.

Li Xiao stretched out his hand, and a few drops of raindrops fell on his palm, splashing crystal clear and fine water.Through the continuous rain curtain in the sky, Li Xiao raised his eyelids, looking at the successful-looking worshiping the moon on the stage, he couldn't help showing a sudden look.

Up to now, the purpose of worshiping the moon is very obvious. He wants to use the matter of praying for rain to help him improve his prestige in the hearts of believers and people.

As for the fact that worshiping the moon is relying on his own spells to pray for rain, Li Xiao has great doubts about it. Although the witchcraft of worshiping the moon is very powerful, it has not broken through the power of transforming gods after all. In other words, he is not able to use the power of nature, so the matter of praying for rain can be said to be nonsense.

It is very likely that worshiping the moon used witchcraft in advance to observe the changes in the astrology and climate, and thus calculated whether it would rain. That's why he spent so much time setting up the altar and the formation on this day, pretending that this He was the one who asked the moon god to bring down the rain, otherwise he would have ignored such a hasty ceremony for such a huge ceremony like offering sacrifices to the heavens.

In this way, the prestige of worshiping the moon among the believers will be further improved. Not only that, even if it is not jiaotu's, after experiencing this event of praying for rain, they will probably be in awe of worshiping the moon, and thus voluntarily join To the array of Moon Worship Sect.Judging from the current situation, worshiping the moon seems to have achieved his goal.
