Chapter 379 Rain Prayer Stone(1/2)
Chu Ci knew that Hanu's negligence could not be blamed.
Three chances are already the optimal number determined by Hanu after discussing with many priests.
If you can't learn it within three times, it's basically difficult to learn it, and it will be useless no matter how many opportunities you are given later.
If possible, Chu Ci actually wanted all priests to learn the rain praying ceremony.
But this is not realistic.
Human beings' weak mental strength cannot withstand the impact of the gods' knowledge. Forcibly instilling unsuitable knowledge into their minds will only cause the priests to suffer mental breakdown.
The difficulty of the rain praying ceremony is not high, but the process is cumbersome, and the amount of knowledge involved is not much simpler than some magical arts.
It is difficult for priests who usually perform rain praying rituals to learn other magical arts unless they can become special ones or break through to a higher realm.
Of course, this does not mean that other priests cannot learn the rain praying ritual in this way. Some priests with amazing understanding still have the opportunity to master the rain praying ritual through acquired learning.
But those are only a minority after all.
The appearance of these priests also made Chu Ci realize that he still did not pay enough attention to the believers in the desert, otherwise he would not have discovered these small tribes struggling to survive in the desert until now.
Looking at the sand people of the small tribe who tried to comfort their priests with smiles despite their disappointment, Chu Ci made a vague decision in his heart and turned around to walk towards the temple.
After Chu Ci left, the rain prayer meeting was still in full swing.
Dark clouds are often seen in Liecheng, and lightning and thunder are often seen. All kinds of celestial phenomena gather together, exuding the vast power of heaven.
Although only a handful of people were able to rain in the end, at least the momentum was in place, which deeply shocked all the believers.
Unexpectedly, they would one day be able to control the celestial phenomena.
This makes believers very proud.
They know that this is the power given to them by the earth god and a reward for their devout faith.
Many believers will be excited and shout the name of the Earth God in the rain, thanking this God for everything he has done for them.
In this way, Chu Ci gained a lot of power of faith without doing anything.
As time passed, the seven-day rain prayer meeting finally came to an end.
According to the normal process, Hanu, the beloved of the gods, should finally ascend the altar and personally demonstrate the prayer for rain, ending the conference with a heavy rain.
However, this is not the case.
When the believers in the city gathered at the entrance of the temple, they were shocked to find that the person standing on the stage was not Hanu, but the various priests who had participated in the conference these days.
Each priest also has a small altar placed in front of him, which looks like he is praying for rain.
This made the believers very puzzled.
Are you planning to pray for rain together?
Not to mention that the believers were puzzled, even the priests on the stage were puzzled.
They also received temporary news that the process had changed on the last day and that all of them would pray for rain together.
This made many priests confused.
This is fine, why should we change the process?
Moreover, if everyone prays for rain together, aren't they afraid that due to mutual influence, the prayer for rain will fail?
Some priests who had just learned to pray for rain frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the arrangements of the temple, but said nothing and continued the preparations silently.
There are also some priests who disagree. They feel that this is just a process, and that the Grand Temple wants to show the results of the rain prayer meeting to the believers.
These people are just green leaves, they can just pretend to be cool when the time comes.
The priests of the small tribes who came from afar to learn the rain praying ceremony had solemn faces and solemn expressions.
They know that this may be their last chance.
Although the hope is slim, they still want to try it again. Maybe this time they will suddenly learn it under the stimulation of other priests.
No matter what the priests thought, the final rain praying ceremony began.
The priests who had learned the rain praying ceremony were calm and carried out the ceremony slowly and in an orderly manner.
Not long after, dark clouds gathered over their altar.
With the strength of these priests, if a priest prayed for rain alone, the area they would affect would only be a small urban area at most.
Now that several priests are praying for rain together, the movement caused is no longer limited to that small area.
A large number of dark clouds gathered over Liecheng, making it a dense black sky.
Under their influence, the difficulty for other priests to pray for rain suddenly increased.
The priests who were originally able to carry out praying for rain to the point of lightning and thunder, now cannot summon even a dark cloud, and some priests have even simply given up praying for rain.
But more priests still have firm eyes and concentrate on their rain praying rituals without being disturbed by the outside world.
Their focused attitude attracted many believers' attention, and they all turned their attention to them.
Even the priests who had learned to pray for rain stopped the last step of the rain ceremony and focused their eyes on them, as if they were waiting for something.
However, no amount of attention could make them break through immediately, and they still failed.
Many priests looked at the collapsed magic circle on the altar and looked up to the sky and sighed.
The waiting priests shook their heads helplessly and continued with the last step of the ceremony.
"Boom!"
The patter of rain fell from the sky, as if announcing the result of this rain prayer meeting.
Just when everyone thought it was over, the sky suddenly changed again.
Countless stars suddenly penetrated the dark clouds and shed their light.
"What's this?"
"If I remember correctly, it should be daytime now, right?"
Everyone looked at this scene in shock, not understanding what was happening.
Even the priests who prayed for rain were stunned.
I remember I was just praying for rain, not anything weird, right?
"Look! There's something in that light!"
Suddenly, a believer pointed at the stars in the sky and shouted.
Everyone took a closer look and found that there was something in the starlight.
Round stones appeared in the starlight, spinning round and round.
Under everyone's surprised gazes, these stones slowly fell down and landed on the altar in front of each priest.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The moment the stone fell, a strange wave of power spread, replacing the collapsed magic circles and becoming the core of the altar.
The priests who failed to pray for rain were startled.
Looking at this scene, a famous priest vaguely understood something, and quickly picked up the magic formula and continued the ceremony just now.
After a while, along with the rumble of thunder, rain fell from the dark clouds above them.
"Success! My prayer for rain was successful!"
The priest looked at the dark clouds gathered by him in the sky with joy, and almost cried with joy.
Seeing this scene, the other priests also vaguely understood something, and like the priest, they continued to pray for rain with this stone from the sky as the core.
Not long after, along with the continuous sound of thunder, the area of dark clouds in the sky increased several times.
A heavy rain that was several times more violent than before poured down, covering the entire Lie City and its surroundings.
"Rain, so heavy rain!"
"I've never seen such heavy rain!"
"Long live Lord Earth God!"
Those believers who came from the outer city had never seen such heavy rain before. They looked at the heavy rain with joy and jumped for joy in the rain.
Some believers even took off their clothes and ran wildly in the rain.
The locals in Liecheng looked at these delighted out-of-towners and smiled without saying a word.
I think back then, their reactions were the same, and some were even crazier than this.
Now they are not used to it.
Some Liecheng people looked at the naked Sand People with a look of reminiscence in their eyes.
Affected by these people, the whole city was suddenly immersed in a joyful atmosphere.
"It really worked..."
A priest stared blankly at the heavy rain in the sky.
He could feel that part of the rain came from his prayers.
To be continued...
