Chapter 712: Happy Top Bag, Praying for Rain Ritual
Ao Dong, the Thirteenth Prince of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, has already reached the fifth level of Great Perfection in cultivation. He concentrates on his cultivation and only occasionally travels around the world in his incarnation. His life is quite monotonous.
Especially in the past three or four years after the East China Sea Feast, he was stimulated and focused on staying in the Dragon Palace to practice cultivation, hoping to break through the fifth-level bottleneck and enter the realm of great supernatural powers as soon as possible.
He was still a little unwilling to give up casually.
At the moment, his only hope is to break through the realm of great supernatural power as soon as possible so that he can propose marriage to Diyuan Dragon Palace. His parents ordered the matchmaker to say that as long as Diyuan Dragon Lord agrees to Donghai Dragon Palace's marriage proposal, everything will be fine.
It was precisely because of this thought that the Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong subdued his wandering thoughts, meditated on meditation, and made rapid progress in his Taoism.
Although he is still far away from breaking through the realm of great supernatural powers, the progress in his Taoist state of mind is visible to the naked eye.
The Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong was also happy about this. He felt that his efforts in seclusion and hard training were not in vain. He thought that he could "steal half a day's leisure" and went out to have fun for a long time. However, the news from the outside world that came like snowflakes shocked him.
"Hero? What kind of hero? When did I become the pride of the East China Sea Dragon Palace and a model for the dragon clan in the world..."
Ao Dong, the Thirteenth Prince of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, held the conch in his hand. Inexplicable congratulations and compliments from his friends and subordinates kept coming to his ears, and he was completely stunned.
Not only were his friends complimenting and congratulating him one after another, but even his brothers at home also sent news and praised him for his achievements. The brothers were very proud of him.
It’s as if everyone’s opinions are the basis of gold, and it has become a certain thing. This is nothing!
He practiced hard at home all day long, and soon he became a role model for the dragon clan in the world.
The Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong was confused and curious, so he immediately asked his friends and subordinates sideways.
After some inquiring, he heard something like - "He" actually beheaded a peerless god Wanggu's "Shou Yi Ming Jing" with one sword, destroying the opponent's clone method, causing the opponent's "Golden Cicada Escape" method to have many twists and turns. According to a certain person
According to a friend, if the god Kong Wangguzhen falls in the future, he will be the most responsible and the dragon clan in the world will remember his great achievements.
"This...where is this rumor? I am practicing at home, how can I kill a mirror with one sword?" The Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong felt something was wrong.
Although the congratulations and compliments from all parties are nice, and he is famous, he is unparalleled and majestic, but he is self-aware.
If his Taoist and magical powers were strong enough, he could not have wished for this kind of reputation that he had gained for nothing. However, with his current magical powers, he could not compete with the top-notch magical powers.
In other words, this is called "moral mismatch".
With his current ability, he simply can't stand this "fake reputation". "Damn it~ What bastard is trying to take advantage of me."
The Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong gradually understood the seriousness of the matter. If the rumors outside were correct, Shen Jian Wang Gu would probably hate him to death.
Being targeted by a peerless divine beast is no small matter.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the opponent has many clones and will be unable to unite for a while and regain his peak cultivation level, it is still easy to deal with him.
Thinking of this, the Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong's face showed no trace of surprise or joy. His whole face was like a glow on his back, and he was anxious and flustered.
Immediately, without saying a word, he went straight to the depths of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, asking to see his father, the Dragon King of the East China Sea.
Perhaps the Dragon King of the East China Sea was not practicing in seclusion today, or he guessed that his son was visiting today. As soon as the Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong arrived at the Crystal Palace, soldiers and crab generals immediately led him to the Dragon King of the East China Sea. "Old Thirteen, you
coming."
"The child pays homage to his father. Father, there are rumors that I will kill you with my sword..."
The Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong was anxious. As soon as he saw his father, he felt that he had found a backbone and immediately reported to his father.
"Okay, Old Thirteen, my father has known for a long time, you did a good job." The Dragon King of the East China Sea waved his hands, with no emotion on his face, looking very calm. "I, no, I don't have the sword to kill the god.
「
The Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong was anxious and quickly explained: "Father, this is a misunderstanding. I have been in retreat in the Dragon Palace these days. It's not like you don't know..."
As he spoke, the Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong observed his words and saw that his father's expression was always calm and showed no signs of surprise. He had a vague realization:
"Father, did you arrange all this? Why do you use your identity as a child..."
The Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong hesitated to speak, he was full of curses in his heart, what a fool you are, you put the child on the fire to roast him. The Dragon King of the East China Sea coughed, feeling a little guilty: "Ahem~ This matter is mainly the work of your uncle Diyuan.
.”
"What's wrong with Uncle Diyuan? Why does he just pretend to be a child..."
The Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong was so angry that he had no choice but to use his name to do things casually, no matter who it was, and he would not agree to putting him in danger.
However, midway through his words, he was slightly startled:
"Uncle Di Yuan? Oh, it turns out to be Uncle Di Yuan, then everything will be fine."
The Thirteenth Prince was full of thoughts. When he heard that it was Lord Earth Yuan Long, his attitude suddenly changed and he became excited.
Is this a test for me from Uncle Di Yuan?
If he wants to marry Princess Ying, but he has no ability, Di Yuan Long Jun will definitely look down on him. Yes, that must be the case, otherwise, Uncle Di Yuan would not be able to do this. The Dragon King of the East China Sea was speechless when he saw his son looking like a bear. Originally, the Dragon King of the East China Sea was speechless.
, he also wanted to explain something to his son.
This time, he made a mistake.
When Diyuan Longjun came to him for the schemer Kong Wanggu, he responded to the Immortal Court's decree and actively prepared for many matters such as water diversion and rainfall, but he couldn't get away from it. Then he agreed to send Longzi from the East China Sea Dragon Palace to participate on behalf of the East China Sea Dragon Palace.
However, Diyuan Longjun thought it was troublesome and said that he would find someone to participate as the East China Sea Dragon Palace. He agreed without much thought.
However, no one expected that Diyuan Longjun would make such a big move. He actually killed the god Jian Wanggu's "Shou Yi Mingjing" with one sword, completely dragging the East China Sea Dragon Palace into the water, and stood at the forefront of the Kong clan.
front.
As the leader of the Dragon Clan, it was the duty of Donghai Dragon Palace to fight against the natural enemies of the Kong Clan, and there was nothing to say. The only one who felt guilty was his own son, Thirteenth.
Inexplicably, he stood at the forefront of the storm and endured pressure that he shouldn't have had. In the future, he would have to act as a bait to lure the strong men of the Yu clan who were dormant in the dark.
However, when he saw Old Thirteen being so happy and excited, and looking like he was so happy and hopeless, the Dragon King of the East China Sea was really furious:
"You were still full of complaints just now. Why, it was Di Yuan's handiwork, and your attitude has changed drastically?" The Thirteenth Prince Ao Dong nodded repeatedly and said seriously:
"Father, those who achieve great things must first work hard and work hard. This is Uncle Diyuan's test for me. Otherwise, he would not have given me this huge bargain, giving me the opportunity to become famous in the Dragon Palace all over the world.
You see, how much Uncle Diyuan thinks highly of me. He has the intention to cultivate me vigorously, so naturally I can’t be full of complaints..."
Dragon King of the East China Sea: ".." Wanquan County, Guangling Mountain.
Chu Chen and Long Jun failed to kill the clone of Wang Gu, the god, and returned in vain. In the next few days, Long Jun did not return to Qingzhou, but stayed in the eight southwest states, traveling around the world to see if he could hit him.
By luck, I met the clone of Shen Jian Wanggu.
As a member of the Dragon Clan, Qingying is bound to deal with the Jian Clan.
In the past few days, Qingying has been quite busy, assisting her father Diyuan Longjun, mobilizing the channels and resources of the Diyuan Chamber of Commerce, searching for information everywhere, asking about the places with the worst drought, trying to use the drought triggered by Shen Kong Wanggu's "Golden Cicada Escape" as a clue
, searching for the whereabouts of the clone of God.
Chu Chen has also been quite busy recently, not that he is obsessed with the superior magic weapon.
[Laojun's Four Rules of Mirror Method] It takes two thousand meritorious practices to observe and comprehend the method. He can only covet it now. His main focus is on the drought.
The situation in Guangling Mountain of Wanquan Taoist Temple is not serious.
After all, there are not many people in the Taoist Academy. The number of doctors, disciples, and villagers in the Taoist Academy does not exceed two thousand, which is the size of a large village.
The food stored in the past was abundant, enough to support Wanquan Taoist Temple for more than half a year.
In addition, after his apprentice Xiao Bailong Chu Baiqing connected the water veins of Guangling Mountain, he kept the Bitan spring water from drying up. Everyone in Guangling Mountain relied on this Bitan to meet their daily water needs.
It is not a problem for Guanglingshan Wanquan Taoist Temple to be self-sufficient.
What is really troublesome is the situation in the eight southwest states. The drought in all eight states is extremely serious.
In general, droughts, in addition to extreme water shortages, will also be accompanied by famine caused by drought and food harvest failure.
As a monk, by eating wind, drinking dew, and practicing fasting, you can replenish the energy of the water element while harvesting the energy of heaven and earth, without having to worry about the intrusion of drought.
However, for ordinary people and low-level monks, the harm of drought is quite serious. Without relief, there will be hell scenes on earth with bones exposed for thousands of miles in the wild.
The Immortal Court of the Celestial Dynasty was very determined to expand its territory and manage the eight southwest states, and its belief was not shaken by sudden natural disasters.
A large amount of supplies and food were immediately transferred from major states and counties to prevent the eight southwest states from falling into famine due to drought and poor harvests.
Of course.
Food is easy to solve, as long as it is transferred from other places that have not been affected by the disaster, and the flying boats and treasure ships can be transported one by one. However, water transfer is a bit difficult.
The Immortal Court of the Celestial Dynasty immediately conveyed the decree to the major dragon palaces and water palaces in various places, ordering them to transfer water to the eight southwest states for rainfall.
The Dragon Kings and Dragon Lords of the major dragon palaces and the Shuibo and Water Gods of each water palace received the decree from the Immortal Court, and none of them dared to refuse. They prepared many matters for water diversion overnight and rushed to the aid of the eight southwest states.
But unfortunately, it backfired.
The drought in the eight southwest states was a natural disaster. The magical water diversion powers of the dragon palaces and water palaces were attacked by natural calamities, and their efforts failed halfway. Not a drop of rain fell to the eight southwest states at all.
Even the dragon in charge of water transfer was punished by thunder and almost lost his life.
As a result, all major dragon palaces and water palaces went to the Immortal Court to ask for appeasement of the power of heaven. After receiving the orders from heaven and earth, they could carry out the orders as scheduled.
This is just like in "Journey to the West", Fengxian County offended the power of God and not a drop of rain fell for three consecutive years. In the dark, the power of God is so powerful that ordinary water-controlling magical powers are of no use.
Not only the dragon god, but also the water god cannot transfer water. Even the monks' water transfer and water condensation magic powers have lost their spirituality in the eight southwest states and cannot transfer water at all.
This situation is quite tricky.
Of course, God has the virtue of good life and leaves a glimmer of hope in everything.
The calamity is raging across the eight southwest states, and the best way to break the situation is to "sacrifice to the sky and pray for rain."
This time, the drought in the southwest was caused by someone coveting the innate god, the little white dragon, who was born and raised by the earth. As a result, the innate god dragon was stillborn, triggering a hidden destiny and triggering the wrath of heaven.
If you want to ask for rain to bring down the sweet rain, you will naturally have fasting and offering sacrifices to the heaven and the earth, offering sacrifices to Taiyi, which will calm down the anger of God. Then the major dragon palaces and water palaces will be able to transfer large amounts of water to bring down the sweet rain.
After playing the Immortal Court of the Heavenly Dynasty at the major dragon palaces and water palaces, counties in the eight southwest states began vigorous Zhaijiao rituals to pray to the sky for rain.
Wanquan County was no exception, and immediately began to organize rituals for praying for rain.
As the head of Wanquan County Daoyuan, Wanquan Supervisor, and a fifth-grade immortal official, Chu Chen is one of the senior officials of Wanquan County. The county governor Qi Xiuxin was invited by Master Tongda of the county capital to participate in Wanquan County’s rain prayers.
Scientific instrument.
"Senior brother, do you think our Wanquan County can pray for rain?"
On the way to Wanquan County under the sea of clouds, the little ghost looked down at the withered and desolate land, feeling filled with emotion in his heart.
The southwest has abundant rainfall, lush vegetation, and the mountains and plains are lush and lush. I have never seen such a wild and wild southwest land.
In the past, Huangzhou County in the southwest was only filled with miasma and poisonous insects, making it difficult to survive. Now, it has become a truly wild land, which is not suitable for human survival at all.
Chu Chen looked quite dashing with his feet astride a powerful golden tiger, crossing the sea of clouds, but he was not at all relaxed in his heart. Especially after the little devil asked about praying for rain, he became even more worried.
These days, other states and counties have begun to fast and pray for rain one after another, and the rituals and rituals in various places have become quite lively.
Experts from various schools and sects who are good at praying for rain showed their magical powers, chanted sutras and flying seals, and calmed the heaven and earth. They also blew wind and thunder, making a lot of noise. Unfortunately, there was no rain falling, not even a drop fell.
The situation is not optimistic. "It depends on the situation."
Chu Chen didn't answer the question, he said something casually, and then his eyes were slightly lowered, falling on the young dragon on his chest. The apprentice little white dragon Chu Baiqing felt his master's eyes and woke up leisurely:
"Master, are you here yet?"
"Not yet, but I think we will arrive in Wanquan County soon." Chu Chen smiled slightly and asked:
"Bai Qing, are you really willing to help pray for rain?"
Little White Dragon Chu Baiqing nodded solemnly: "Master, it is the Tian family and the demons outside the territory who want to murder me, and it has nothing to do with the people of the eight southwest states. They are also innocent. If I can help, it is my duty to do so."
When Chu Chen heard this, he was quite pleased and had some hope in his heart. As the saying goes, to untie a bell, one must tie it.
The drought in the southwest started due to Little White Dragon Chu Baiqing. Little White Dragon, who still had some innate foundation of divine creation, was very likely to be able to help, which is why he brought Little White Dragon with him.
While he was talking, Dali Jinhu stepped on the strong wind and arrived at Wanquan County. If it were normal, someone would greet Chu Chen as soon as he arrived.
However, the outskirts of Wanquan County are extremely busy at the moment. The county government, the County Ghosts and Gods Department, and the County God's Mansion are all busy working on the legislative altar and performing rituals. Among them, there are also Yunzhou experts and envoys from the Immortal Court. The scene is
It was very lively. Chu Chen was not a person who cared about ostentation, so he didn't pay much attention. He just walked around the dojo casually and took a look at the layout of the place.
However, at this moment, several familiar figures came from the crowd. "Brother Chu, it really is you."
