Since ancient times, mortals have worshiped gods for extremely utilitarian purposes, such as wanting to eliminate disasters and solve problems, or seeking marriage and children. In the hearts of mortals, whether they are Buddhists or Taoists, or even those who already have many believers

In fact, there is only one criterion for Nestorianism to be good or bad, which is whether it can satisfy the requests of believers.

Among all these requests, one is the most common and the one that most tests the power of the gods, which is to ask for rain.

The simplest way to pray for rain is of course to go to the Dragon Temple to burn incense and make offerings. In the first two years when the Dragon God Si Yu took office, people only had to go to the temple to kowtow a few times and then respectfully offer some pig heads.

If you use a fat chicken or something, you can get a sweet shower.

However, as the three fires of the new official's appointment gradually burned out, such good things certainly could not last long. The people soon discovered that the effect of their native methods was getting worse and worse. If they wanted to pray for rain successfully, they could

Some professionals must be called in to help.

The so-called professionals are Taoist priests or monks. As Taoism gradually fades out of everyone's sight, most people have only two choices left - the monks of the East Heaven or the monks of the West.

So, which one is more effective, the Great Sun Sutra from the West, or the Eastern Sutra from the East, which is more effective? There are a lot of things to consider in this.

In fact, the key to whether you can pray for rain lies in the body of the Dragon King Ao Tong of the Jinghe River. Everyone knows this kind of thing. Therefore, in order to be able to defeat his opponents, the gods and Buddhas on both sides invariably prayed for Ao Tong.

Their goals are surprisingly the same: when one of them asks for rain, rain will fall from the sky; when the other party asks for rain, it is best if a knife falls from the sky.

As a result, Ao Tong had the opportunity to have both sides, and he became a powerful feudal official. He was enjoying the benefits that both sides were competing for. He was really happy.

Of course, the benefits are limited in the palm-sized area around Gyeonggi Province.

As a result, occasional cross-border rainfall gradually became the norm. Anyway, the official seal of Siyu Dragon God did not indicate the place. First, some dragon clan secretly went to Jinzhong with an order, and then it rained in northern Henan. Later, even

Even the shadow of the Jinghe Dragon Palace appeared in Wuyue and Donglu areas. For a moment, it seemed that all the rain in the world was under the control of the Great Dragon God Siyu.

As a result, those who are most dissatisfied are of course Shui Dexingjun and the immortals of the Lei Department. They were robbed of their jobs inexplicably. No one else would be willing to accept it.

However, at this time, neither the Jade Emperor nor the Taoists were thinking about these trivial matters at all. In addition, there was always the shadow of the West or the East behind these illegal rainfalls. They complained everywhere, but no one ever came.

He made the decision, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure it. However, many rumors that were unfavorable to Ao Tong gradually appeared in the heaven.

"As expected, this Ao Tong is not only arrogant and greedy, but also loves success. I think his demise is not far away." Yun Xiang sighed to Hu Ning in the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

Hu Ning shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Yun, how long it will take for Ao Tong to perish. I can't predict it right now, but I'm afraid the Dragon Clan can't wait any longer." As he said that, he took it out of his arms.

He handed it over and said, "This is the third letter this morning. It's the third one this year. How should you respond?"

Yun Xiang nodded, opened the letter and looked at it briefly, then nodded and said: "It seems that I should go to the East China Sea Dragon Palace to discuss with them face to face."

The letter was sent by Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and it mainly talked about some of the troubles on the Dragon Clan's side.

As Ao Tong, the Dragon God of Rain, became more and more popular, his reputation within the Dragon Clan naturally became higher and higher. In the past two years, he would certainly take the opportunity to demand higher power.

For example, the masters of the Dragon Clan who withdrew from the border areas of the Three Realms gathered their main forces in the rivers and lakes of the Middle Earth, thus comprehensively strengthening the Dragon Clan's influence in the Three Realms.

He even proposed to request a decree from the Jade Emperor to confer the title of "Great Commander of the Four Directions Siyu" on the four commanders, and the title of "The Great Commander of the Four Directions Siyu", and the title of "The Dragon God of the Four Directions Siyu". This was Sima Zhao's intention.

If it is according to his wishes, he himself is the only "Si Yu Great Dragon God". His name alone is enough to overwhelm the four commanders. The Dragon King of the Four Seas has become his subordinate, the Lord of the Dragon Clan, who else can he be?

?

The four commanders, the Dragon King of the Four Seas, had made a plan with Yunxiang early on to kill him, so they tolerated Ao Tong in every possible way. However, facing his aggressive attitude, the dragon clan became unbearable, so they urged Yunxiang several times,

I want to get rid of this person as soon as possible.

Yun Xiang was quite helpless at this time. According to his original plan, after Ao Tong's troubles, the first people to be offended were Daomen and Tianting.

Since the Taoist sect can lift him up, it can also step down on him. When the two sides are fighting to the bitter end, the dragon clan only needs to add insult to injury and get rid of this scourge in the clan.

However, no one expected that because Gonggong injured the Bagua Taoist at the beginning, which caused the Taoist sect's power to shrink completely, after five years, Ao Tong became more and more troubled, and it seemed to have become a climate.

Since Yunxiang came up with the plan, he naturally couldn't stay out of it at this time. If he didn't give the Dragon Clan an explanation, I'm afraid he would become the Dragon Clan's eternal sinner.

Sure enough, when I saw Ao Guang and the four commanders in the East China Sea Dragon Palace, all five of them looked unhappy.

Ao Guang also got straight to the point and asked directly: "Ao Xiang, you have said before that Ao Tong can be eliminated in three to five years at most without leaving any consequences. But now that the five years have passed, the thief has become more and more troublesome.

It's so fierce, but it forces the four commanders to retreat. I wonder when the time you mentioned will come?"

Yun Xiang smiled bitterly and said: "This Ao Tong is really very lucky. The Taoist sect and the heaven are now unable to take action to control him. It is beyond my expectation. I hope your Majesty is not surprised. However, this person is acting rampant now.

But this is a good opportunity to take action. I have decided to take the initiative and create some opportunities, but there are still some troubles that remain unresolved and I need to plan carefully."

When Ao Guang heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said: "What's your plan? You might as well tell me and see if I, the king, can put some effort into it."

Yun Xiang pondered for a while and said: "Now Ao Tong has many enemies in heaven, but I just lack an excuse to deal with him. I am going to find a friend in heaven to help and provide them with a suitable reason."

Ao Guang pondered: "Is this person reliable?"

Yun Xiang nodded and said decisively: "This person is my best friend and the most reliable one."

Ao Guang said: "This is a good idea, but what's the trouble with it?"

Yun Xiang sighed: "Who would have thought that my friend now has a very special official position in the heaven, and now he lives in seclusion. I can't contact him at all, but I can only do nothing."

Ao Guang hurriedly said: "This is easy. My dragon clan disciples are all over the three realms. You might as well tell the name of that person's official position. I will naturally be able to send the news to you."

Yunxiang also had this intention, nodded and said: "I came here because I wanted to ask the king for help. My friend is none other than the current Governor of Tianhe, Lord Wude Zhenjun."
