Chapter 179: Summon clouds and rain to show magical powers
"Senior brother, why do you speak so domineeringly? Look at the expression on Xiucai, Senior Sister Miaoyin's face!"
On the way to Pine Forest Village, the little kid looked at his senior brother with a look of admiration.
I don’t know how to describe it, I just feel so happy.
Especially the scholar, Lin Miaoyin showed a look of astonishment.
Chu Chen laughed loudly.
He also doesn’t want to show off, who asked him to establish a “genius persona”.
To establish a persona, you have to put on a show from time to time.
Just pretending, and next time he will unexpectedly develop some great magical power, and others will become accustomed to it.
For monks with amazing foot strength, the Songlin Village Reservoir is not too far from the county seat, and they can definitely arrive in time.
Moreover, even if the crops are short of water, there is no rush.
However, Chu Chen still tried his best to hurry on.
He was born in a rural area in his previous life. He heard about many villagers' conflicts and even fights over water sources, and he understood the importance of water to farmers.
The water for irrigating farmland has not been supplied, and one can imagine the anxiety in the hearts of farmers.
In less than half a stick of incense, Chu Chen arrived at Songlin Village.
In the distance, at the foot of the rolling hills, I saw smoke from cooking stoves and clusters of houses.
At the fence of the village, there was an inspection envoy from the Department of Ghosts and Gods. The villagers looked forward to it. When they saw Chu Chen coming on the spirit horse, they burst into cheers.
Chu Chen jumped up, jumped off the spiritual horse, stretched out his hand, and the spiritual horse turned into a spiritual light and flew into the calligraphy scroll in his palm.
"I've met Deputy Team Leader Chu!"
The two patrol officers from Class A recognized Chu Chen's identity at a glance and stepped forward to salute.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Chu Chen nodded slightly to the two inspectors, acted vigorously and resolutely, and asked about the water theft case from the reservoir:
"How is the investigation of the case going? What clues have been found?"
The inspector looked ashamed:
"This is reported to Deputy Squad Leader Chu. No useful clues have been found so far. I don't know who did it."
"However, we went to investigate the reservoir. The riverbed of the reservoir was moist, and there were no signs of opening the gate to release water. The water in the reservoir was indeed magically drained overnight by air conditioning."
Chu Chen nodded.
Even a small reservoir has a lot of water.
If it disappears out of thin air overnight, it must involve "demons, demons, and gods" and be under the jurisdiction of their ghosts and gods.
"Let's go! Take me to see it."
After saying that, the head of Songlin Village, two inspectors and a group of villagers surrounded Chu Chen and headed to the reservoir next to the village.
The reservoir is built against a mountain, with green hills on both sides and a high earth dam cutting across it.
In the past, the reservoir gathered mountain streams, mountain springs and daily rainfall. The reservoir had abundant water resources and the villagers performed daily maintenance. The water level of the reservoir has never dropped to a low level, let alone dried up.
The villagers seemed very excited and surrounded Chu Chen one after another, asking him for help.
Fortunately, the patrol officers of Class A drove the villagers away.
The inspectors of the Ghosts and Gods Division travel to the countryside every day, and they have actually solved a lot of troubles for the people, and they are also very familiar with the villagers.
After hearing what the inspector said, the villagers stopped making noises.
However, they did not disperse. They all gathered on the earth dam of the reservoir, with sad faces on their faces.
Chu Chen came out from being surrounded by villagers and now had time to investigate the reservoir in detail.
He silently used Yan Yuanjun's magical power.
The next moment, the world in his eyes changed, and countless breaths and scenes invisible to the naked eye appeared before his eyes.
The thinly flowing spiritual energy, evil spirits, and evil spirits in the mountains intertwine into a beautiful picture, making the already gorgeous and delicate green mountains even more charming.
Unfortunately, Chu Chen really didn't find any useful clues.
There is indeed an evil spirit around the reservoir, but it is very thin.
The owner who left behind the evil spirit is just a little monster, and cannot have the magical power to empty the reservoir overnight.
The head of Songlin Village said with a sad face:
"Master Immortal, look at it. It's dried up. It's gone overnight. I don't know which demon is causing trouble. It's going to kill us!"
It's not necessarily the work of demons.
Some monks would also recruit nearby water sources for their martial arts battles.
Perhaps, there were monks fighting near Songlin Village last night and happened to divert the water from the village's reservoir.
Of course, Chu Chen did not explain it in detail to the village chief.
The other party, an ordinary mortal, said everything in vain, complicating the matter and making the villagers even more worried.
"Old man, don't worry, leave this matter to our Ghosts and Gods Division and we will give you an explanation."
Chu Chen comforted him.
The two inspectors also responded: "Yes, this matter must be caused by demons. Our Department of Ghosts and Gods will not just ignore it. Folks, don't worry."
The mayor of Songlin Village was waiting for these words. Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief and grinned:
"That's good! That's good!"
Chu Chen nodded slightly, calmly and calmly, and said to the village chief:
"I will pray for rain for you first. If this case is not settled, the Ghost and God Department will pray for you to ensure the irrigation of crops in this village!"
The village chief was overjoyed when he heard this:
"Master Immortal, if you have any orders, I will immediately arrange them.
...
Soon, a simple altar was erected on the earth dam of the reservoir.
Chu Chen used the thunder seal in his left hand and the sword formula in his right hand. After completing the step gang fight, he recited the Shengyun mantra seven times:
"The white clouds on the bottom of the sea are approaching, first confusing the sun and the moon, and then blocking the universe. The mountains and rivers are rising, and the water and water are rising. I follow the order of Mr. Three Mountains and Nine Marquises to take pictures!"
After Chu Chen finished the incantation, he held the cloud talisman in his hand, pointed to the sky, and took two breaths of the eastern air, like a cloud rising from a blue dragon.
The next moment, the sky turned dark.
The villagers on the dam looked up to the sky.
I saw patches of dark clouds rolling in from afar, covering the sky and the sun. Although it was broad daylight, the sky became dark.
Chu Chen also showed joy on his face.
In the art of praying for rain, whether it can bring rain successfully or not, [Cloud-Generating Mantra] is the key among the keys.
If dark clouds cannot be summoned, it means that this place does not have the conditions for "artificial rainfall".
This spell [Building Rain and Breaking Ni] is ineffective, and a more advanced rain-praying technique is needed.
When the dark clouds came over, Chu Chen felt very confident.
Then, he imagined a thunderstorm in his mind, with the thunder seal in his left hand and the sword formula in his right hand. He held the seven stars and stepped on the "Kui Gang", took two breaths of the Eastern Qi, and cursed:
"The water in the sky and underground water, the water in the five lakes and seas, the rivers, the rising clouds and the rapid falling of sweet rain, I took pictures under the orders of Mr. Three Mountains and Nine Lords!"
"Boom!"
As Chu Chen burned his talisman and pointed to the sky, a bright light suddenly burst out between the dark sky and earth.
On the horizon of dark clouds, a dull thunder rumbled down, extremely dazzling!
Before the inspection team could wait, the villagers were shocked and rain began to slowly fall from the sky.
First there were one or two drops, and then the rain became heavier and heavier, and rainwater as big as soybeans hit the villagers' faces, causing them pain.
The villagers had no intention of hiding from the rain. They cheered loudly in the rain and were overjoyed.
"It's raining!"
"It's really raining!"
"Now the crops can be saved."
Seeing this scene, the villagers were excited and cheered.
Even the two inspectors of Class A showed envy on their faces.
