After knowing that it was the reason for the rain prayer meeting, Chu Ci felt relieved.
Let's just say, Lie City can't suddenly develop rapidly just when he goes to the Abyss Realm.
Doesn't that mean that this god is useless?
After telling the Qise God about the rain prayer meeting, the Qise God sighed: "That's amazing. I have never seen any city in the desert with such a strong appeal."
When she and Star Fire God investigated the lower world, they had traveled through many deserts and had some understanding of the conditions in various deserts in Yanhuang State.
In the desert, the relationship between tribes and cities is not harmonious. Some tribes have feuds with each other. They will fight when they meet, making it difficult to gather together.
But there was no such situation in Lie City. People from various cities and tribes gathered together and had a good time, without any appearance of arrogance or domineering.
Occasionally, there would be conflicts between several sand people, and they would be quickly reconciled through the mediation of the people around them.
Qise Shen knew that this was because of Chu Ci.
Liecheng is the place where Chuci first appeared, and is recognized by many Earth God believers as a place of divine blessing.
The purer the sand people's belief in and love for the earth god, the less they dare to cause trouble in Liecheng.
They will feel that making trouble in such a sacred place is an offense to the gods, and they are unwilling to expose their bad side to the gods of their faith.
It is precisely because of their worship of the earth god that a rain prayer meeting attracts so many people.
This makes Qise Shen a little envious.
Chu Ci touched his chin: "It's okay, I feel like they just found an excuse to watch the fun. After all, there aren't many entertainment activities in the desert."
Seven Colored God:?
Qise Shen looked at Chu Ci speechlessly.
Who is a good person who travels so far just to watch the fun, or in such a harsh desert?
"Aren't you going to take this opportunity to do something?" Qise Shen couldn't help but ask.
"What to do?" Chu Ci looked at her in confusion.
"It's a spiritual manifestation!" The Seven-Colored God hates the iron that cannot be transformed into steel: "This is a great opportunity for spiritual manifestation. If you come out for a moment during the rain prayer meeting, these believers will definitely be very happy. Your influence and status will definitely increase again.
A class apart!”
In this era of fierce competition, even gods must be good at packaging, otherwise over time, believers will be snatched away by other gods.
The Seven-Colored God was deeply touched by this, and her believers converted to other gods because they had not seen her for a while.
"It depends on the situation." Chu Ci laughed.
To be honest, unlike before, Chu Ci felt that his current number of followers was enough.
With a fire-spitting desert and more than half of Chengyang Mansion, the power of his temple is rare in the entire God Realm.
Countless believers pray to him every day, and Chu Ci doesn't dare to let go of his mind to accept these altar fluctuations, otherwise the wishes of those believers will drown him in an instant.
If the spirit appears again and the number of believers increases sharply, then he will have to spend energy to consolidate his faith. It is better to let the temple develop naturally.
It won’t be too late to consider these things later when your strength improves.
"Forget it, it's up to you." Qise Shen shook his head helplessly.
"Let me take you to the temple first." Chu Ci changed the subject and said, "Your injury has not healed yet. You can recuperate in the temple of the earth first, and then go out for a walk after the injury is healed."
Qise Shen thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, then I won't bother you."
Naturally, there is also an inner temple in Liecheng's Earth Temple, but Chu Ci has never lived there, so this time it just serves as a hiding place for the Seven Colored God.
After settling the Seven-Colored God, Chu Ci went to the temple to find Hanu.
After not seeing each other for a while, Hanu has grown taller and stronger.
To Chu Ci's surprise, Hanu made a breakthrough!
High level special person!
Among Chu Ci's three divine beings, Hanu was the first to break through to the realm of high-level special beings, faster than Yang Yu.
Come to think of it, the last time I saw Hanu, he was already on the verge of a breakthrough.
Now that more than a year has passed, it is reasonable to break through the realm.
This made Chu Ci feel a little emotional. He was indeed a fully awakened special person. He could break through the realm faster than ordinary special people.
"Lord Earth God!" Hanu was also very surprised to see Chu Ci and stood up quickly.
"Didn't I say you don't need to be so restrained in front of me."
Looking at Hanu's calm demeanor, Chu Ci praised him: "It's very good. I haven't seen you for a while, but you gave me a big surprise."
Hanu understood what Chu Ci was talking about and said, "Thanks to the Nine Mysterious Liquids given to me by Lord Earth God, otherwise Hanu would not have been able to break through the realm so quickly."
Chu Ci smiled and shook his head: "Nine Xuan Liquid is just an auxiliary. Real cultivation depends on you. If you don't work hard, it will be useless no matter how much effort I put in."
Hanu scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Since you have broken through to a high level, I can't be stingy." Chu Ci stretched out his hand, and a ball of white light condensed in his palm.
Hanu seemed to know what was going to happen, and he was a little excited. He quickly lowered his head and knelt down on one knee.
Chu Ci's palm touched Hanu's head and sent white light into his mind.
"After becoming a high-level special person, your soul strength and physical strength have improved a lot, and you are qualified to withstand more knowledge and power."
"As for how much you can get, it depends on your own destiny."
The white light entered the body and immediately turned into vast magical knowledge, appearing in Hanu's mind.
Hanu's expression was slightly painful, as if he could not bear the impact of so much knowledge, but he still gritted his teeth, endured the discomfort, and frantically absorbed this rare magical knowledge.
At the same time, a gentle divine power transformed Hanu's body, bringing him closer to the power of the god.
After a while, the expression on Hanu's face gradually calmed down and became better.
Chu Ci showed admiration on his face.
After receiving all the knowledge and power, Hanu opened his eyes.
"Thank you Lord Earth God for the gift!"
There was uncontrollable joy on Hanu's face, and it was obvious that he had gained a lot this time.
"Remember to make good use of this power." Chu Ci smiled slightly.
"Yes! Hanu will never let down Lord Earth God's expectations!"
After giving some instructions, Chu Ci looked at the crowds coming and going outside the hall and suddenly laughed and said: "Speaking of which, you caused a big fight at this rain prayer meeting."
Hanu became a little nervous after hearing this, and explained: "I didn't expect so many people to come. At first, I just wanted to help some remote priests, so I didn't report it to you, Lord Earth God."
"Don't be so nervous. This is a good thing." Chu Ci waved his hand: "As long as it does not violate the purpose of the Earth Temple, you can make your own decisions about this kind of thing in the future without telling me."
"You did a great job in things like this."
Chu Ci knew that although Hanu was his favored person and temporary high priest, Hanu did not dare to make decisions on his own in many matters.
Hanu is not like Song Bao, who is used to the big world.
Before Song Bao became the Great Priest, he was in charge of a hotel and was also the person in charge of the Dark Night Club. He had excellent management skills.
He knew which matters should be approached by Chu Ci and which matters could be solved by himself, so Chu Ci basically didn't have to worry about it.
Hanu is different. He was just an ordinary boy before and had never had any similar experience. Suddenly his status suddenly rises and he feels overwhelmed.
When we were in the desert before, Hanu would tell Chu Ci about everything big or small.
Even if Chu Ci left the desert, Hanu would still look for him from time to time.
Some of the decisions I made were only made with the support of Lie tribe elders.
Therefore, when Chu Ci heard that Hanu initiated the rain prayer meeting this time, he was more happy than surprised.
This shows that during his absence, Hanu grew up and became a truly God-favored person in his own right.
Hearing Chu Ci's words of approval, Hanu was a little happy, with a shy smile like a teenager on his face.
Suddenly, he thought of something and said quickly: "Lord Earth God, speaking of the rain prayer meeting, I actually have something to report."
"What's up?"
"Lord Earth God, you know that Hanu is not only your favored one, but also the great priest of the Earth Temple."
"When the Earth Temple was first established, the number of priests was very few, so Hanu temporarily took over the role of the high priest and managed the temple. It has been five years now."
"Nowadays, the Earth Temple is developing well. There are many talented people in the temple. There are hundreds of priests in Liecheng alone, among which there are nine first-level priests. Each priest's management ability is higher than Hanu's.
.”
Hanu looked at Chu Ci cautiously: "So I think, after the rain prayer meeting, can I resign as the great priest?"
To Hanu's expectation, Chu Ci was not angry, but looked thoughtful.
As Hanu said, the reason why he chose Hanu to be the high priest was really a helpless move, because there was no other suitable candidate in Liecheng except Hanu.
Now that the Earth Temple has been developing for so long, it is no longer an option to keep the position of high priest vacant. It is time to choose a real high priest.
Chu Ci looked at Hanu and said with a smile: "Since you said so, then there is a suitable candidate?"
"There is one." Hanu nodded, a little embarrassed: "Hanu thinks Uncle Bailie is good."
"Bai Lie?" Chu Ci was a little surprised: "Isn't he the captain of the patrol team?"
"Uncle Bailie is no longer alive." Hanu explained: "More than half a year ago, he resigned from the position of captain of the patrol team, passed it to the captain of the first team, and then joined the temple himself and became a priest.
"
"Uncle Bailie was originally a high-level special person. After becoming a priest, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he soon became a first-level priest."
"During the time when I broke through to the high-level special being, Uncle Bai Lie helped me solve many things in the temple. Many people in the temple respected him."
Chu Ci looked thoughtful.
He is also very familiar with Bai Lie. Regardless of his strength or talent, he is enough to hold the position of great priest.
But there was one thing that bothered him, and that was that Bai Lie didn't know that the Earth God he believed in was the Great Sage Chu who had helped them in the first place.
If Bailie becomes the high priest of the Earth Temple, he will definitely know about this matter after a long time, which makes Chu Ci feel like his vest has fallen off.
How awkward will it be to meet then?
However, it is not a problem to let Hanu temporarily take over the position of high priest. Now that the power of the Earth Temple is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more things happening. If Hanu continues to work, it will affect his own cultivation.
Chu Ci still has high expectations for Hanu to become a super special person.
"Besides Bai Lie, are there any other suitable candidates?"
"There are a few, including the Zhou Priest who is responsible for handling believers, the Bone Priest who is responsible for teaching the priests, and...but their prestige is not as high as Uncle Bailie."
Chu Ci pondered for a while and then said slowly: "Okay, you can ask Bailie to prepare for it, and he will take over the position of high priest after the rain prayer meeting."
If you drop your vest, just drop your vest. Anyway, he is thick-skinned and not afraid of it.
Hanu looked happy.
Two days later, the much-anticipated rain prayer meeting finally began.
The conference lasts for seven days. Hanu will first teach his experience and then demonstrate it himself.
Later, those priests who came from afar and wanted to learn the rain praying ceremony would try to pray for rain under the guidance of Hanu and other priests who knew the rain praying ceremony.
In various places in Lie City, altars have been built in advance and materials have been prepared for these priests to practice.
Because there were so many priests participating, the temple had to stipulate that each priest only had three attempts.
Once the three opportunities are used up, it basically means that they have failed to learn the rain praying ceremony this time.
However, it is too difficult to master the rain praying ceremony within three times.
The vastness of divine knowledge is far beyond what humans can comprehend.
The reason why gods choose to grant knowledge to priests through idols is because most humans can only use this method to display the knowledge and abilities granted by gods.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The moment the knowledge is instilled in their minds, they will naturally use it even if they don’t know the process or the principle.
However, these priests are different. Due to adaptability issues, they cannot obtain the knowledge of rain praying rituals from the idols and can only learn by themselves.
This means that they must at least understand every process of the rain praying ceremony. There can be no omissions or mistakes. Sometimes a problem with the angle of the magic formula may cause the rain prayer to fail. The difficulty can be imagined.
Even if these priests themselves are not bad in talent, it will be difficult for them to learn the rain praying ceremony within three opportunities.
Within seven days, very few priests could successfully pray for rain. Most of the priests prayed for rain for a long time, but not even a drop of rain fell.
Chu Ci also observed the priests praying for rain during these seven days.
Among these priests who pray for rain, those who successfully pray for rain are often the focus of everyone. After the rain falls, these priests will receive cheers and worship from everyone, and the people of their tribe will also be honored.
On the contrary, few people pay attention to those priests who failed.
In the past few days, Chu Ci saw many priests in areas with relatively scarce water resources. They died sadly after failing to pray for rain three times, and then cried bitterly in a deserted place.
For priests in large tribes or big cities, they would be disappointed if they did not learn the rain praying ceremony, but they would not care too much because their tribes have sufficient water sources and have other priests who can perform rain praying rituals.
But there are not only big cities and large tribes in the desert, there are also more small cities and small tribes.
For some tribes in remote areas, it is already a big deal if they can produce just one priest.
The priests of these small tribes are different from other priests. They carry the hope of the entire tribe. The people in the tribe hope that they can learn the rain praying ceremony in Liecheng, a holy place, and bring rain back to the tribe.
Their failure now means that the hope of the entire tribe has been lost.
Even if no one tells them, they will hate their own incompetence and blame themselves endlessly.
