Alchemy is not only an auxiliary method, but also a kind of practice. The grasp of true energy and timing requires very precise.
During the days in the Alchemist's Mansion, Li Xiao did not stop refining alchemy, but became more diligent.
After some experiments, Li Xiao discovered that the fire spirit beads obtained from the Kirin Cave could better condense the breath of fire in the air, allowing Li Xiao to better activate the fire energy.
During such an intense alchemy process, some of the medicinal materials stored in the Alchemist's Mansion were quickly exhausted, but Li Xiao was not panicked at all.
Because the mountains in Nanzhao are crisscrossed with jungles, and these mountains contain a lot of heavenly and earthly treasures. Every time he goes into the mountains to explore, he comes back with a full load. This is simply a place rich in natural medicinal materials.
Moreover, many years are relatively old, which is suitable for making elixirs.
After the injection of these medicinal materials, Li Xiao also made several batches of elixirs. Some of these elixirs were given to the Witch Queen and Ling'er by him, while some of the best quality ones were taken by himself.
, used to extend longevity, and the rest are stored in the system space for other uses.
During this process, many Nanzhao ministers still came to visit, obviously with the intention of trying to please them. Li Xiao also treated these ministers in two ways.
Some of the ministers were just outsiders. Neither Li Xiao nor Bai Yue wanted to offend them. While visiting Li Xiao, they did not want to offend Bai Yue.
Li Xiao didn't have much favorable impressions of these people, he had an indifferent attitude, and even gradually became alienated from them.
There are still some people whose purpose is also very clear, that is, they want to lead Li Xiao to find a big flag in the Nanzhao court. These people gathered around Li Xiao and Elder Shi, and their goal is
To fight against the Moon Worshipers together, Li Xiao naturally had no hesitation about these people. He also sent out signals of goodwill to them, recruited them, and secretly accumulated strength.
…
…
This day.
The Moon Worshipers, who had been silent for many days, suddenly issued an edict in the name of the Moon God, announcing to the world that the Moon Worshipers would hold a heaven-sacrifice ceremony on the altar of the chief helm in three days.
Baiyue is not only the high priest of Nanzhao, but also the leader of the Moon Worship Sect. The Moon Worship Sect has many believers throughout Nanzhao and is extremely powerful. It can be said that it exists in almost all walks of life, and its messengers and ears are also extremely powerful.
It was so sensitive. In just one day, this edict could be said to have spread throughout Nanzhao.
When Li Xiao saw this edict, he couldn't help but frown.
"What exactly is this moon worshiping all about?"
Li Xiao also felt suspicious in his heart.
You know, the Xiyue Festival, which is the most important part of the Moon Worship Festival, is the birthday of the Moon Goddess, but now it has been more than a month since the Xiyue Festival. But why did he happen to do it at this time?
He wanted to issue such an edict with such great fanfare. What was his purpose?
Is there anything else that is more important to the Moon Worship Sect than the Xiyue Festival, or is there some ulterior purpose in worshiping the Moon?
Li Xiao rubbed his chin and couldn't help but be immersed in his thoughts. Several thoughts suddenly flashed through his mind, but when these thoughts first appeared, Li Xiao shook his head and denied them.
Perhaps, the true purpose of worshiping the moon will not be truly revealed until three days later.
…
…
Three days later, countless moon worshipers and Nanzhao people, like a dense torrent, swarmed towards the altar in the capital from all directions.
With the influx of people, the huge Nanzhao capital became smaller for the first time. It was about to accommodate such a huge crowd, and it seemed that the entire capital was about to burst.
Normally, but there are still more people coming from all directions.
At noon, there was already a sea of people around the altar, and the entire square was almost filled with people. There was no spare place to stay. There were many moon worshipers among them, and their faces were filled with excitement.
Not only them, many people in the court were also invited to worship the moon this time. At this time, including the Witch King, Witch Queen, Li Xiao and Elder Shi, they were all sitting on the high platform.
I saw worshiping the moon standing in the center of the altar, his eyebrows lowered, his long hair with a few strands of silver thread moving in the wind, his breath flowing erratically, and his whole body actually showed a look of compassion. He
His calm eyes were so calm that no one could tell what he was thinking in his heart.
Seeing this scene in his eyes, Li Xiao couldn't help but frown. He turned slightly sideways and asked the elder Shi next to him with a puzzled look on his face: "Elder Shi, did you know that this time of worshiping the moon is like this?"
What's the point of making such a big show?"
Elder Shi shook his head, with a look of puzzled surprise on his face as well: "According to common sense, the festival that the Moon Worship Sect attaches most importance to is the Xiyue Festival one month ago, which was the birthday of the Moon Goddess, but
Even so, worshiping the moon is just a way to gain the momentum of hundreds of believers. But today's scene is even bigger than that of the Xiyue Festival. It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to say that it takes the efforts of all the people. So, his
What exactly is the purpose?”
Elder Shi looked thoughtful.
"Unexpectedly, even Elder Shi has no way of knowing."
When Li Xiao heard this, he was even more confused.
You must know that Elder Shi, as the elder of the three dynasties, has an extremely wide network of contacts in the court. He even has a special intelligence department to collect all kinds of information about worshiping the moon. There are even many people who have penetrated into the worshiping moon.
Eyes, you must know that the last time, the news that the Moon Worshipers wanted to build the Moon Temple and practice the Evil Moon Dharma was the information obtained by Elder Shi's intelligence department.
But even so, Elder Shi had not received any information or omen before. It can be seen that the move of worshiping the moon was very sudden. Why did this happen?
After thinking to no avail, Li Xiao temporarily suppressed his thoughts and turned his attention to the moon worshiper on the altar.
…
…
The scorching sun was shining in the sky, coupled with the incomparable noise around the altar, and the steaming hot air, it was about to turn the place into a steamer, but this still could not stop the enthusiasm of many moon worshipers.
The time has come, and I saw the worshiping moon with downcast eyebrows. Suddenly a sharp light burst out from his eyes, and he slowly said: "By the will of heaven, the moon god has decreed, and in the past few years,
An unprecedented drought broke out in Nanzhao, and the people suffered deeply from it. However, as a great god, the moon god will naturally protect all living beings and express gratitude to the world. Therefore, when worshiping the moon today, we must pray for sweet rain for the land of Nanzhao.
rainwater!"
Baiyue's lips moved slightly, but the resonant voice was transmitted to everyone's ears with great resonance. There was an inexplicable majesty in those words, as if they were sounds from outside, enough to shock
The human mind.
When his eyes swept over Li Xiao on the high platform, there was a trace of undetectable cunning in his eyes.
As soon as this statement came out, the scene couldn't help but burst into an uproar.
"Pray for rain?"
Hearing the words of worshiping the moon on the altar, Li Xiao's mind couldn't help but move slightly. He didn't expect that the purpose of worshiping the moon so much today was to pray for rain. But looking at the scene of the scorching sun in the sky, how could he
What about praying for rain?
He exchanged glances with Elder Shi beside him, and they both saw surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.
But the Witch King on the high platform was refreshed at this time, and he propped himself up from his seat, with a look of expectation in his burning eyes.
You know, in the past few years, Nanzhao Kingdom has been suffering from unprecedented drought. The lakes and rivers have dried up, and the land has been filled with mourning. As the monarch of the country, the Witch King is naturally worried and haggard. It can be said that he has become a
He had a serious worry that he couldn't get rid of.
But at this time, the moon worshiper actually said that he wanted to pray for rain. At this time, no matter whether the moon worshiper could succeed or not, at least there was a ball of hope in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, the moon worshiper on the altar began to move, and he began to face the statue of the moon god, chanting ancient and obscure mantras in his mouth.
Amidst the thunderous sound of the drums, the disciples on the stage began to dance, taking mysterious steps, dancing an ancient dance.
As the practice continued, there seemed to be a kind of witchcraft fluctuations circulating on the altar, giving people a very strange feeling. Everyone was paying close attention to the act of worshiping the moon, as well as the vast
The dome seems to have not changed at all, and the scorching sun is still scorching the earth.
…
…
But just half an hour later.
Under that golden scorching sun, a strange strong wind suddenly blew. This strong wind blew away the stagnant heat in the air, bringing a sense of coolness. Soon, the blue sky and white clouds in the sky gradually
The ground dimmed, and soon dark clouds rolled in, covering the entire sky like a black veil.
Amid people's cries of surprise, transparent liquid streaked across the sky, and bean-like raindrops fell on the ground, falling on people's heads and heads.
On my shoulders, the bean-like heavy rain soon became heavier and heavier, turning into a majestic downpour.
"Look, it's raining from the sky."
"It's raining, it's raining. After three years, it finally rains again on the land of Nanzhao."
"This is the blessing of the Moon God, and this is all a gift from Lord Worshiping the Moon!"
There are four major happy events in life, namely, a long drought and sweet rain, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, a night of flowers and candles in the dormitory, and the time when the gold medal is named. This long drought and sweet rain is ranked first, and at this time, along with the sweet rain from the sky,
Coming to the earth, it finally took away the drought that had shrouded the earth for a long time.
All the people cheered loudly. Some people picked up a puddle of rainwater with their hands, some people opened their mouths and drank the rainwater in big gulps, and some people even rolled in the rain. They looked so excited that it was simply...
It's like going crazy.
"It has been three years, and finally the rain has fallen from the earth. This is the blessing and gift of the Moon God." The Witch King stood up from his seat with great excitement, opened his arms wide, and bathed in the majestic rain. , regardless of the rain that wet his clothes, his face was filled with surprise.
Elder Shi, Tang Yu Xiaobao, and the rest of the ministers were all shocked and surprised at this time. It was a bright day just now, but they did not expect that in just a short period of time, it would suddenly rain so heavily. It was almost unbelievable, but the raindrops falling from the sky and the moisture escaping from the air reminded them that this was real all the time.
"All of this was brought to us by Lord Worshiping the Moon, and he brought blessings to us."
"Long live Lord Worship the Moon, long live Lord Worship the Moon!"
Bathed in the pouring rain, the Moon Worshipers all looked at the Moon Worshipers with admiration. Their enthusiastic expressions seemed like they were paying homage to a god descending from the sky. People couldn't help but cheer in unison. The huge sound waves were louder and louder, as if they were about to penetrate the sky.
Baiyue stood proudly on the altar. Although he tried his best to appear compassionate and kind, he could not hide the proud look in his eyes. Compared with the Witch King on the high platform, he seemed to He is the one who accepts the worship of all people, and he is the supreme existence.
Li Xiao stretched out his hand, and a few raindrops fell on his palm, splashing crystal and fine water. Through the continuous rain curtain in the sky, Li Xiao raised his eyelids and looked at the scene on the stage. Worshiping the moon with a look of success, he couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.
By now, the purpose of worshiping the moon is very obvious. He wants to use praying for rain to help him improve his prestige in the minds of believers and people.
As for the fact that worshiping the moon relies on its own magic to pray for rain, Li Xiao has great doubts about this. Although the witchcraft of worshiping the moon is very powerful, it has not broken through the power of becoming a god. In other words, he was unable to use the power of nature, so praying for rain could be said to be nonsense.
It is very likely that Baiyue used witchcraft in advance to observe changes in the stars and climate, and thus calculated whether it would rain. Therefore, he went to such great lengths to set up the altar and the formation on this day to pretend that it would rain. It was he who asked the moon god to rain, otherwise he would not have paid attention to such a hasty ceremony such as offering sacrifices to the sky.
In this way, the prestige of Moon Worshipers among the believers will be further enhanced. Not only that, even if they are not from Jiaotu, after experiencing this rain praying incident, they will probably be in awe of Moon Worshipers and voluntarily join in. into the array of the Moon Worship Cult. Judging from the current situation, the Moon Worshiper seems to have achieved his goal.
