Some people say that the ancient tree grew older and gradually developed spiritual wisdom, but it failed to survive the catastrophe.
Some people also say that it is because there is a monster hidden in the story that caused the thunder.
Someone else said...
All in all, there are different opinions on this matter, and there is no accurate answer, but people spontaneously held sacrifices and rituals with a tacit understanding.
It can be seen that in this era, people were quite in awe of thunder and lightning.
"Actually, this matter is not as mysterious as you think."
Su Chen explained: "The reason why lightning was caused was mainly caused by the lightning rod I arranged on the cloud platform."
lightning rod?
Changsun Wuji and others were very puzzled by this novel vocabulary.
After thinking for a while, Du Ruhui asked: "The lightning rod that little friend Su Chen mentioned is the four to five feet long iron rod?"
"Exactly."
"Then how does this lightning rod attract thunder?" Du Ruhui continued to ask.
Su Chen sorted out his words and said: "First of all, this is because the Daming Palace is located on a high ground and can easily attract lightning. Metal objects like iron have the effect of guiding lightning, so they will increase the probability of triggering lightning.
.”
"But the main function of a lightning rod is to guide and avoid lightning. That's why His Majesty and I were not injured when the lightning struck just now."
After listening to Su Chen's explanation, several people nodded in understanding.
"But even if this lightning rod is really so miraculous, we all saw the power of those two lightning strikes just now, so why wasn't there too much impact?"
Changsun Wuji continued to ask: "Just like the lightning-struck tree in Lantian County, the surrounding areas were chopped black."
Your old grandson is still your old grandson. He just likes to break the casserole and get to the bottom of it.
Su Chen smiled in his heart and continued to explain: "This is because I connected a lot of iron wires to the bottom of the lightning rod to conduct lightning, and these iron wires are buried deep underground, so when lightning strikes the upper end of the lightning rod, the lightning
It will be led underground due to the conductive properties of iron."
"In this way, as long as you don't touch the lightning rod directly, no matter how close you stand, nothing will happen."
"Of course, if you stand too close, your hair may stand on end."
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er suddenly felt a little embarrassed. His appearance just now really lost all his majesty, but fortunately, only Su Chen saw it.
"So, you don't have to think that this matter is so mysterious, it's actually just a simple way of investigating things."
"If I could really control thunder and lightning, wouldn't I be a god?"
The reason why Su Chen added these two sentences was mainly to dispel Li Er's doubts and to prevent Changsun Wuji and others from blindly guessing, so as not to affect their relationship.
Although he has given an explanation, in this feudal and backward era, people's thoughts are always so stubborn.
If I don't explain it clearly to Changsun Wuji and the others, I'm afraid they will really regard me as a living god in the future, and thus stay away from me and become alienated.
"If that's the case, can't you tell me clearly in advance, you brat?" His Majesty Li Er said with a bit of resentment, and it was obvious that he was still worried about Su Chen striking him with lightning.
"Oh, Lao Li, we are generous, don't worry so much."
Su Chen stepped forward and hooked up with His Majesty Li Er, and said shamelessly: "You have also seen the effect of my lightning rod. Later, I will have people decorate all the palaces in Daming Palace for you. What do you think?"
"In this way, you will no longer have to worry about thunder and lightning when you live in Daming Palace."
After hearing this, His Majesty Li Er's expression softened slightly.
You are a wise boy and you know how to care about me.
After explaining the thunder and lightning incident to His Majesty Li Er and others, Su Chen's canonization ceremony was officially concluded. Several people left the Daming Palace with the civil and military officials, preparing to return to Tai Chi Palace to celebrate.
On the way, His Majesty Li Er and Su Chen were talking and laughing, but the other ministers could not laugh at all.
For example, Hou Junji, although he was a little in awe of Su Chen and His Majesty Li Er because of the Mithril Bright Armor incident, the swelling in his heart has not completely disappeared.
But after seeing His Majesty Li Er and Su Chen bathing in thunder and lightning without any damage, he no longer dared to have any arrogant thoughts.
That is the power of God!
Your Majesty and the Lord Protector seem to be able to control it!
Today's events left an indelible impression on Hou Junji's mind.
…
In this way, without Li Er's knowledge, a major hidden danger was solved.
As for Zhang Liang, another hidden danger, he had no special feelings at this time. He only felt that Your Majesty and the Lord Protector were really destined people!
Because he hasn't met the "right girl" in his life at this time, and his brain is not broken, so he hasn't had any strange ideas yet.
In the future, no one can tell whether he will continue on the same path as in his previous life.
The other ministers are also very complicated in their hearts, and they are still a little scared.
As for the matter that His Majesty Li Er said before that he would entrust half of Chang'an City to Su Chen, they had already forgotten it and did not dare to think about it anymore.
That is the Lord Protector, a god who can control thunder and lightning. Who dares to be dissatisfied?
Different from the awe of the ministers, the common people who had witnessed the canonization ceremony were all excited.
In just half a day, the matter of the canonization ceremony had already spread throughout Chang'an City, becoming a hot topic of discussion among women, children and old.
"You didn't see it at the time. The thunder and lightning thicker than a bucket were hovering behind the current Holy Emperor and Lord Protector. They were as docile as kittens. How could you dare to be so arrogant?"
"So, I, the Tang Dynasty, are destined to be blessed by God, and even God's punishment can only be obediently surrendered at our feet!"
"Although I was still at the gate of the city, I heard the roar of thunder and lightning. It was really terrifying! I didn't expect that His Majesty would tame it so easily!"
…
With the heated discussion among the people, this matter quickly spread throughout the Guanzhong area.
Although many of the scenes were embellished by the common people, they made them respect Su Chen and His Majesty Li Er even more.
For a time, Su Chen's name as Lord Protector became more and more popular, and he became a veritable patron saint of the Tang Dynasty.
…
Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace.
Cups were pushed and cups were exchanged, glasses were exchanged, singing and dancing were carried out, the Manna Hall was full of joy and laughter, and the banquet was in full swing.
I don’t know why, but although the heavy downpour earlier was a bit shocking, it only lasted for more than half an hour and then dissipated.
