At this time, the fortune teller glanced at him, stood up and saluted: "Your Excellency, please take a seat!"
Zu An's current identity is the Dragon King, and he himself is also the regent of various races. He has already had the majesty of a superior, so it is natural for him to sit at the top.
The people around him were amazed when they saw his extraordinary bearing.
After the boy on the side served tea, the fortune teller named Yuan Shoucheng asked: "What do you want to ask about here?"
Zu An looked at the arrogant couplets in the room and replied: "Sir, how about you tell me what will happen in the sky?"
The memory of this body told him that the Jinghe Dragon King was responsible for making clouds and rain in this area, and no one knew this better than him.
Yuan Shoucheng rolled up his sleeves, threw out a few hexagrams, observed them carefully for a while, and replied: "The clouds are confusing the top of the mountain, and the fog is covering the forest tops. If you can capture the rain, it will definitely be in the Ming Dynasty."
Zu An asked: "When will it rain tomorrow? How big will the rain be?"
This guy still pretends to be like that. He knows that some fortune tellers in the past life like to give ambiguous answers, so naturally he will not give him such an opportunity.
The fortune teller replied calmly: "Tomorrow there will be clouds at chen hour, thunder at si hour, rain at noon, but not enough rain at that time. A total of three feet, three inches and forty-eight points of water will be obtained."
Zu An was about to say something, but suddenly there was an uncontrollable impulse in his body, and he smiled and said: "This statement cannot be made for fun. If it rains tomorrow, depending on the time and amount you decide, I will give you fifty taels of tuition money as a thank you. If
If there is no rain, or it does not follow the time or quantity, I tell you the truth, I will destroy your facade, tear your sign to pieces, and drive you out of Chang'an immediately, and you are not allowed to confuse the public here!"
After saying this, Zu An was stunned. Although it was reasonable to say this, he still felt that something was strange, as if he was possessed by a ghost and said it like this.
A normal person might not be able to tell the difference, but with his current level of cultivation and knowledge, he was still keenly aware of the anomaly.
Yuan Shoucheng replied happily: "This is definitely up to you. Please, please. I'll see you tomorrow after the rain comes."
Zu An left Yuan Mansion and fell into deep thought on the way.
Maybe when other people come to this slice of time and space, they subconsciously think that they have to defeat this fortune teller, drive him out of Chang'an City, and protect the water tribe in the Dragon Palace from him to complete the task. But he noticed something was wrong through the anomaly just now.
.
Is this really the way to win?
Unknowingly, he had returned to the Jing River, and various ministers of the Shui Tribe came out to greet him: "How about your Majesty's visit to the fortune teller?"
Zu An recounted the conversation between the two of them just now to the ministers, and they all laughed: "Your Majesty is the general manager of Bahedu, the Dragon God of Rain. Only your Majesty knows whether there is rain or not. How dare he talk such nonsense?"
?The person who sells divination must have lost! He must have lost!"
But Zu An couldn't laugh. He always felt strange that the reason why he made a bet with the man named Yuan was because even Si Yu didn't know it was going to rain tomorrow, so the fortune teller was obviously going to lose.
But he always felt that something was wrong, so much so that the hairs all over his body stood up.
This is a keen sense of spirituality that he has developed only when he often faces huge life and death crises and merges with the ability of "Lu Shu".
But where does the danger come from?
Is there a murderous intention behind tomorrow's bet? But even if you lose, you lose, what's the big deal.
A group of Shui Tribe ministers were laughing at the sorcerer named Yuan who dared to wield an ax in front of the Dragon King because he was ignorant of Mount Tai.
The uneasiness in Zu An's heart became more and more intense. This was not the usual kind of villain in novels who ridiculed and provoked hatred. No matter how arrogant he was in the early stage, it would be miserable to be killed by the protagonist later.
After a while, I became a villain?
Who is the protagonist?
What about Yuan Shoucheng?
But shouldn't the protagonist be a teenager? That guy is a dying old man, and he really doesn't have any aura as a protagonist.
Zu An was a little irritated. This kind of trial method is really painful. There is no mission guidance and no mission completion target. You can only rely on yourself to guess how to pass the level.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from mid-air: "The Dragon King of Jinghe River has received the order."
When everyone looked up, they saw a strong man in golden clothes, carrying the Jade Emperor's edict in his hand, and came straight to the water mansion.
Zu An was startled, it really was heaven!
This golden-robed warrior has a shining golden light and a divine aura. He seems to be a strong man above the earthly immortals.
A strong man delivering a message is so powerful. I wonder what level of power the Jade Emperor is?
Is there anyone in the entire heaven who is more powerful than the Emperor of Heaven?
No matter what, he at least knew one thing: Heaven was definitely not an existence that his current cultivation level could compete with, and he could never be his enemy.
At this time, the minister next to him hurriedly reminded him, and Zu An tidied his clothes and burned incense to receive the order.
After the golden-robed warrior left, Zu An opened the imperial edict and read on it: "I ordered Mr. Bahe to drive away thunder and lightning; in the Ming Dynasty, I ordered Yu Ze to help the city of Chang'an."
The number of hours in the decree is exactly the same as the one who judged it.
Zu An was frightened. No wonder he was uneasy before. It turned out that this was the problem.
At this time, many Shui tribe ministers also looked at each other, and many of them exclaimed: "There is such a spiritual person in the world! He can really penetrate the heaven and the earth! It seems that we will definitely lose this time."
At this time, the military commander said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. What's the difficulty in defeating him? I have a small plan to discipline that guy's mouth."
Zu An glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "Please tell me and listen."
The military advisor said: "Xing Yu is late in time and a few points are missing, that is, the Si Duan hexagram is not accurate. Are you afraid that you won't be able to defeat him? Then smash the signboard and drive him away. What's the difficulty?"
Many ministers praised it one after another when they heard it, and the military advisor also looked very happy.
Zu An's face darkened: "Bold, now that the Jade Emperor has personally issued an order, how can we disobey the imperial edict for such a harmless bet? You are trying to make me commit the crime of deceiving the emperor. Come on, give me this
The guy got chopped!"
Everything that happened now finally reminded him vaguely of a legendary story in his previous life. Although he couldn't remember it exactly, he was keenly aware that this guy's idea was definitely a big trap.
At this time, the whole hall suddenly fell silent. The expressions of the ministers were a little incredulous. The military advisor suddenly burst into tears: "Your Majesty, you are wronged. I only made suggestions for your Majesty and wanted to help your Majesty win this bet. What's wrong with that?"
Hearing his cries, many ministers also interceded for him, but Zu An remained indifferent. Soon, soldiers and crabs came and dragged the military advisor away.
Not long after, the soldiers came in a panic and said, "Report to your Majesty, the soldier's head fell off, but a stream of light suddenly appeared in his body and disappeared in an instant."
Hearing this, the ministers who were originally dissatisfied with the military advisor all shut up. What happened to the military advisor?
Zu An sneered and said: "He is indeed a guy who is here to harm me."
At this time, many ministers exclaimed:
"Who is it that wants to harm the king?"
"What should we do with this situation now?"
"Why don't we go find the fortune teller to apologize and ask him not to mind?"
"It's unreasonable. Your Majesty is the Great Dragon God of Rain. How can you submit to a human being? Besides, those fishermen are more greedy than the last. If the other party continues to instruct those fishermen to cast those nets, in less than ten years, we will be in Jing
I'm afraid not even one out of ten of the water tribe in the river will survive, and the entire tribe will be finished by then."
"But what can you do if you don't give in? That fortune teller can even know the Jade Emperor's edict in advance, and there must be a powerful backer behind him. Aren't we seeking death by fighting each other?"
…
Hearing the ministers talking about each other, and each of them having some truth, Zu An felt extremely upset. He was thinking about the whole thing quickly at this time.
In fact, by now he has a rough idea of what this test is. There is this story in the "Journey to the West" in his previous life. The original Dragon King of Jinghe listened to the nonsense of the military advisor because of a momentary conflict of spirits, and he really cheated and cheated.
He disobeyed the imperial edict and was beheaded for violating the laws of heaven.
Then the Dragon King of Jinghe panicked and ran to ask Yuan Shoucheng for advice. Yuan Shoucheng told him that the supervisor of the Tianting faction was Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty, and asked him to ask the Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.
The Dragon King of Jinghe asked Emperor Tang for help in a dream, and Emperor Tang agreed. On that day, he specially summoned Wei Zheng into the palace and asked him to play chess, just to make him incapable of doing anything else.
Wei Zheng fell asleep while playing chess. Emperor Tang thought that things were settled, but he didn't know that Wei Zheng's soul left his body while he was sleeping and went to the Dragon Slaying Platform to supervise the execution.
The wronged soul of the Jinghe Dragon King felt that the Tang Emperor had not kept his word, so he sued the Tang Emperor in the underworld. Just as the Tang Emperor was about to die, the underworld sent ghosts to take the Tang Emperor's soul to the underworld for confrontation.
The emperor of the Tang Dynasty took a one-day trip to the underworld. The Empress was so frightened that she held a grand water and land meeting to liberate the souls of the dead who had died in his hands over the past few decades. There she met Tang Monk, and then there was a discussion between Hinayana Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism.
This leads to the story of sending Tang Monk to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
The reason why he didn't think of it at first was because this plot was too inconspicuous in "Journey to the West". His attention was all on plots such as Sun Wukong, Seven Fairies, and the Kingdom of Women.
But now that I have experienced so much personally, those vague memories have become clear again.
So how should I break the situation next?
On the surface, it seems quite easy, but there is a mysterious existence within the body of the shad strategist who fanned the flames, making everything more complicated and confusing.
He thought of a few key points and gradually had an idea in his mind.
