Chapter 171 White Jade Is Not Bodhi (7)(1/4)
In three days, Liyue only rested for one night, and then went up to the hill with his accompanying attendants. He built the platform and sketched the formation. He always checked that there were no mistakes or omissions.
In the early morning three days later, when Zongque noticed the movement and opened his eyes, he saw the person next to him sitting up from the couch, with his long hair scattered behind him like splashed ink. He looked back at him and said with a smile: "You can sleep a little longer.
.”
Zongque looked at him and walked to his side. Lianyue stretched out her hand, let him wrap it around her wrist and said with a smile, "It's so clingy."
He got up to take a bath. Although there was not enough water here, there was still some water. If he wanted to worship the gods and pray for rain, he naturally had to face it in the neatest manner.
After bathing and changing clothes, Li Yue put on the luxurious clothes with a wet look all over her body. Her hair was left to dry. There were already many witches waiting outside in the dark.
"Let's go." Lianyue climbed onto the Buhu, which was lifted up by Wu, and went straight up to the southeastern hill.
By the time we got there, the moon and stars were already sparse.
The torches lit up the surroundings, and under the gaze of everyone, the white dress fell on the stairs and went straight up to the high platform.
All the subjects guarding here knelt down and worshiped.
"National Master, the west position is ready." A wizard said after checking the formation.
"National Preceptor, the northwest position is ready."
"...the southeast position is ready."
"...The east position is ready."
"Northern position is Zhengding, where are the sacrifices?" Lianyue asked while standing on the high platform.
"It's been prepared, bring it up quickly." The minister kneeling below waved, and there were guards carrying sacrifices from the cages behind them and placing them under the high platform.
Li Yue fixed her eyes and narrowed her eyes slightly. They were two young children, a boy and a girl. Although they were well packed, they were extremely thin. They were ignorant of this place and were looking around tremblingly. Even their cries seemed a little feeble.
.
Li Yue looked at Qian, who saluted and said, "It was my subordinate's mistake."
"Master, is this sacrifice inappropriate?" Wang looked at the silence and asked boldly.
"Yue has ordered that live animals be used." Li Yue looked condescendingly at the kneeling subjects and the shivering children, with a cold voice, "Why do you make such arbitrary decisions?"
"It's hard to find live animals in the barren land. Is it necessary to use boys and girls?" Wang asked, looking at the white clothes on the high place.
"Of course not." A smile appeared on Liyue's lips, "In troubled times, humans are the most worthless, how can they be compared with animals? This method fools the gods. If the king cannot find it, the matter of praying for rain will be over.
Just do it.”
He turned around to get off the high platform, but the king and his subjects were all frightened: "The Imperial Master will wait a moment, I will definitely find him with all my strength!"
"Master, don't give up here!"
"Master, please give me some time!"
"There's still half an hour." Li Yue stopped and said, "It depends on you whether we can succeed or not."
"yes!"
"Hurry up and get ready. We must work hard to catch up."
"Go quickly and find live animals."
There was quite a bit of chaos below, and the two young children were so frightened that they cried. Lianyue stood on the high platform, looking at the faint moonlight on the horizon and waiting quietly.
The wind on the hill was a bit strong, with the unique dryness of the dry land, making the pure white clothes rustle.
Zongque looked at his distant expression and couldn't tell what he was thinking for a moment. The original world line was very similar to their current itinerary, but not completely similar.
The node of deer sacrifice has already begun to stagger. Although there are rough records of praying for rain on the ground, it mostly happened in the royal city.
At dawn, the king and his ministers below were running around anxiously until the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded. Everyone looked around and saw that the man on horseback had brought a few touches of snow-white.
Li Yue looked over, and immediately the guards hurried down and brought two sheep. Wang almost snatched them directly and held them in his arms. He ran under the high platform and said, "Is this feasible?"
Lianyue lowered her eyes and looked at the expectant expressions of everyone and said, "It's possible. Place the sacrifice in the center and you'll get out."
"yes."
The two sheep were fixed under the high platform with wooden stakes. The ceremony resumed, the north was decided, and Li Yue knelt down and sat behind the altar.
The other shamans in all directions knelt down and prayed. Dawn broke and the red sun rose, turning half of the sky red, but no clouds gathered at all.
Wang knelt on the ground and looked at the sky worriedly, wiping his sweat anxiously from time to time. He knelt beside Linglu and looked at the people on the high platform to pray silently.
There may be something wrong with the royal family, but the people are innocent, the warehouses are unreliable, and the world is in chaos.
"The gods of the five directions make rain and wind." Lianyue opened her eyes at the moment when the red sun rose.
There were wisps of clouds rolling in the sky, which made everyone in the audience gasp in amazement and breathe quickly.
"Spread moisture widely and assist Thunder Lord."
There were traces of lightning flashing in the thick clouds.
"From all over the world, water is the most important." The voice was cool but very powerful.
The white clouds had turned into dark clouds, and thick water vapor was approaching. The suffocation seemed to be able to suppress everyone in it. Chan looked up at the sky, his heart beating endlessly. He thought that the same should be true for others.
"The talisman orders you, Chang Chuan obeys. Anyone who dares to disobey will not be tolerated by Thunder Ax!" Lianyue stood up in the strong wind, the blood on her fingers was stained on the talisman paper, and she rose straight into the sky.
The wind blew across the post, and the tethered sheep was very restless. However, when a bolt of thunder crossed the sky, it disappeared directly from the spot, making everyone hold their hearts and bow deeply.
Thunder flashed, and a little or two drops of moisture fell on the dry land in front of them, and then quickly connected into one piece, covering the hazy yellow land.
"It's raining..." Wang Zhengzheng stretched out his hand.
"It's rain, it's really rain, thank God, thank God!" Some ministers were already in tears.
"The land is saved."
"The great kindness of the National Master will be remembered by the people of Chai."
The wind blew and the rain slanted, and the clouds in the sky were invisible. Under the darkness, there was only one person standing alone on the high platform, as if the god had descended.
Everyone reveled, not caring about the mud caused by the rain. Lianyue walked down from the high platform, and Qian wanted to help him, but he slightly raised his hand to stop him: "Tell the king, after this rain, the mountains and forests need to be restored, otherwise
Disasters are endless.”
"Yes." Qian saluted, "I will definitely handle it well, and I won't miss a word."
He was negligent in making sacrifices this time. When the master prays for rain, he usually uses dead animals, and only uses live animals when there is a severe drought. The shaman has always banned it, saying that it is an animal, it is an animal. Who would have thought that the haggard would be so clever?
, but it was also because he did not check in time. He could not shirk responsibility for this matter.
"Well, let's go back." Li Yue boarded the carriage and closed the door as everyone bowed and bowed.
As the vehicle started to move, the man who had been sitting quietly tilted, and was gently supported by the transformed little man, who placed him on the soft pillow.
"You are exhausted." Zongque said.
He wrapped it around his wrist and naturally knew his physical condition.
Liyue opened her eyes gently, looked at the little guy beside her and said with a smile: "You are willing to change into a human now."
"Does this matter have any impact on you?" Zongque asked.
The pulse test is just weak, but his blood and constitution are different from ordinary people.
Liyue looked at the little guy who was asking seriously and raised her hand to wave to him. Zongque lowered his head and pinched his face with his fingers: "Don't worry, but he will recover from his weakness in a few days.
"
Zongque: "...You have a good rest."
"Resting now." Lianyue patted his soft little face and said, "If you can let me take a bite, your health will be better faster."
Zongque looked at his tired expression, lowered his head and leaned his face towards him.
Even if he is taking this opportunity, it can make him feel happier, which will indeed help his body recover.
Liyue looked at the approaching little guy, his eyes slightly moving, and held the soft little face and moved towards him.
A gentle touch imprinted on his face, and it was instantaneous. Zongque turned his eyes, but the man lying down rubbed his little face with his hands and said, "It's so cute, it makes you want to get sick."
Zongque pulled down his hand, and when he sat upright, he covered his eyes and said, "Sleep."
"No, you need to be supported until you get back." Lianyue took off his little hand and put it in the palm of his hand. "It's so small. Can it be turned into a dragon's claw by itself?"
"Yeah." Zongque responded.
The small hands turned into dragon claws, and even with sharp armor on them, they were extremely cute.
"Who can you catch with your dragon claws?" Lianyue curled her fingers up and down to play.
Zongque looked at his half-closed eyes and said, "Go to sleep. I will wake you up when the time comes."
"If I fall asleep, you won't be able to wake me up." Lianyue yawned and waved to him, "Give me a hug, I can still hold on for a while."
He hadn't seen the little guy look like this for a long time. Maybe it was a little snake he had raised, and he thought it was cute no matter how he looked at it.
Zongque looked at his expectant expression and leaned forward. Lianyue's eyes were full of anticipation, but he saw the little guy's little hand reaching behind his neck and pressing it slightly. A sore and numb feeling rushed straight to his brain, and he suddenly became more awake.
.
"Do you still understand this if you are born with sanity?" Li Yue asked.
