Chapter 905: Sacrificing sacrifices to gods and praying for rain, an invitation from Mr. Fu Yin
The old Taoist priest poked at the Yuxian picture for a while and got no response. He quickly lost interest and then asked Jin An what he planned to do with the Yuxian painting.
We can’t let the Five Zang Taoist Temple convert to believe in the female rain fairy in the painting, right?
And just hanging the picture of the Rain Fairy on the tree like this, I always feel that it is unsafe if the partition wall has ears. In the future, I will not be able to escape the eyes and ears of the Rain Fairy in the painting when I eat, do things, or practice.
Jin An thought for a while and said: "We can't burn it. Maybe it will be useful in the future. Let's hang it in the sheepfold first. The silly sheep will be vigorous and vigorous every day. We don't have to sleep at night. Let the silly sheep help us all day long."
Keep an eye on the painting."
The old Taoist priest's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands with great joy: "This is a good idea!"
"Sheep excrement and sheep urine are the most fishy. Once it touches your hands, you can't wash off the fishy smell. These filth are the most destructive to the spirit of animals. Even if there is something wrong with this rain fairy picture, just use sheep excrement from the sheepfold.
Urine can suppress the female rain fairy, hey, Xun can also kill the female rain fairy!"
Mea.
The silly sheep in the sheepfold are still munching carrots, eating, pooping, falling asleep, and continuing to eat after waking up. They are the silly sheep who live carefree every day.
The old Taoist priest took Jin An aside to talk, and came up with a bad idea: "Little brother, in order to make more silly sheep to suppress the rain fairy these days, do you want to add some strong ingredients to it? For example, add croton and garlic sprouts to the carrots.
, garlic and other things, the smell won’t kill her, and she will wash her face with tears every day.”
The old Taoist priest refers to the female Yuxian.
"..."
The muscles in the corner of Jin An's eyes twitched: "Isn't this bad idea of yours, old Taoist, based on personal grudges? You want to avenge yourself for the last time you were pushed to the roof by a stupid sheep..."
The old Taoist priest looked serious and said sternly: "Little brother, you are biased against me, the old Taoist. This is slander. I, the old Taoist, seriously protest."
hehe.
Jin An gave the old Taoist priest a chuckle and asked him to figure it out on his own.
Jin An kept his promise and hung the picture of the Rain Fairy in the corner of the sheep pen, so that the female Rain Fairy would put her cold face on the hot buttocks of the stupid sheep every day.
Next, Jin An unceremoniously smashed open the merit box, and a group of people happily shared the money. Even brother and sister A Fei and Ziyue took part in it and gave him a red envelope for the Chinese New Year in advance.
…
In the next few days, the Wu Zang Taoist Temple remained quiet, and the number of pilgrims remained low, with no signs of returning.
However, the coldness here is relative to the skyrocketing flow of people nearby. Compared with the pitiful flow of people when Jin'an first came to Jiangnan to open a sub-monastery, there are now hundreds of people coming to offer incense every day, which exceeds most Taoist temples.
temple.
The drought in Fucheng has been greatly alleviated in recent days. Since Sanxian Temple began to sell Yuxian rain pictures throughout the city, it rained on time every night, and the rain time gradually extended. Later, it could continue to rain continuously for most of the night.
As the incident continued to ferment, more and more people came to Fucheng to pray for rain at the Sanxian temple, hoping that the Yuxian could expand the scope of rainfall, bring rain to the entire Jiangnan, and save the crops in the fields.
Many farmers even went to the government office to petition, saying that if it didn't rain, let alone this year's crops would not be able to survive, the late rice harvest would be poor, and there would be no food for the winter, and even people would not be able to survive.
It is against this background that the public voice continues to rise and is coerced by public opinion. For the sake of stabilizing the public sentiment, some Fucheng officials, who have been silent, contacted Sanxian Temple.
Half a day later, Master Fuyou, Master Fuyun, and Master Fuyao of Sanxian Temple came forward to reply to the believers, saying that it would not be impossible to bring rainfall to the whole Jiangnan to cool down the temperature. Now is the time when the summer temperature is high and the rain on the sea is the most abundant. They can
Taking advantage of the east wind, he asked the powerful Yuxian to borrow the clouds and rain on the sea to Jiangzhou Prefecture.
However, this is a change that goes against the will of heaven. Yuxian said that this requires the handwriting of the Jade Emperor in Heaven, so that the four gods of wind, thunder, cloud and rain can listen to Yuxian's dispatch and rain down nectar for the Jiangnan area. So the three of them, the senior brothers, will set up an establishment in Fucheng next.
The Three Talents Formation of Heaven, Earth, and People arranges three altars to attract wind and pray for rain. At that time, believers will need to make great wishes to pray for rain, so that the boiling public opinion can reach heaven, and let Yuxian lead the people of Jiangzhou Prefecture to visit the people living in the 36th floor.
The Jade Emperor in Tianlingxiao Hall hoped that the Jade Emperor could order the four gods of wind, thunder, cloud and rain to come to the south of the Yangtze River to bring rain.
The Sanxian Temple came forward to pray for rain, which directly pushed the public opinion to the highest point. At this time, the public opinion was already coercing the official side, and even the official side was cooperating with the Sanxian Temple to clean up the site and build an altar.
During the few days when the altar was being set up, the people in the city did not think about food or tea. They were all eagerly anticipating whether the Three Immortals Temple really had such great magical powers that even the Jade Emperor of Heaven would listen to Yu Xian.
But not everyone believes in the Three Immortals Temple and the Rain Immortal.
Taoist temple of the five internal organs.
The old Taoist pulled Jin An aside to avoid the rain fairy hanging in the sheepfold: "Little brother, Taoist, my right eye has been twitching these days, the left eye jumps for wealth and the right eye jumps for disaster, I always feel
Something is going to happen."
"Could it be related to the Sanxian Temple setting up a large formation in Fucheng and mobilizing hundreds of thousands of people in the city to pray for rain together?"
The old Taoist priest said worriedly.
Jin An looked up at the clear blue sky, frowned slightly and said: "A severe drought and a prayer for rain allowed Sanxian Temple to gather public opinion in a very short period of time. Now Sanxian Temple represents what the people want."
To the will of the people and the general trend, even the government offices in Fucheng are coerced by the people's hearts and dare not despise people's petitions."
"Even if the Three Immortals Temple really deceives the people's wisdom and has problems, we can only wait and see what happens. Now no one in Jiangzhou dares to easily offend the Three Immortals Temple at this time. That is no longer an offense against the Three Immortals Temple, but against the general trend.
If you become an enemy, your spine will be broken by a hundred thousand people."
"Public opinion is the easiest to be deceived and the easiest to lose consciousness. Any direction of public opinion can kill a person without bloodshed. Whoever controls public opinion has the initiative."
Jin'an had just talked about the government office, when someone from the government office came to invite Jin An, saying that it was the governor who invited him and they had important matters to discuss.
Jin An is an old acquaintance with Mr. Fu Yin of Jiangzhou Mansion. In the government office and study room, Mr. Fu Yin asked his servants to leave, leaving him and Jin An to discuss secretly in the study room for half a day. Jin An left the house with a normal expression.
Yamen.
After leaving the government office, he did not return directly to the Five Zang Taoist Temple. Instead, he passed by the Three Immortals Temple and the three altars before returning to the Five Zang Taoist Temple.
There are three altars distributed in three directions of the city. There is a huge flag on each altar, with wind-borrowing charms, cloud-calling charms and rain-praying charms respectively painted on them.
The cyan flag flag represents the wind, the white flag flag represents the clouds, and the blue flag flag represents the rain.
There is also an altar guarding the atrium in the direction of the pier, which is also the location of the formation eye. Although the formation eye altar is blocked by a straw curtain wall, blocking the world's sight and creating a mysterious atmosphere for the Three Immortals Temple, this cannot stop people who can visit Yuan Shen on a daily basis.
of Jin'an.
When Jin An returned to the Taoist temple, he was immediately surrounded by everyone. They curiously asked Mr. Fu Yin what he wanted from him.
"It's not a big deal. Mr. Fu Yin is worried about what might happen when he opens the altar to pray for rain tomorrow, so he asked me to accompany Mr. Fu Yin there." Jin An said it in an understatement, but when the old Taoist priest and Master Yuyang heard it,
To my uncle's ear, his expression was solemn.
…
The time soon came for the opening of the altar to pray for rain the next day.
On this day in Fucheng, Jiangzhou, every household was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and it was as lively as holding a temple fair to worship the gods. The people beat gongs and drums, raised gods to invite gods, and spontaneously organized a team to worship the gods to welcome the rain fairy to Fucheng.
Such a lively and prosperous scene is naturally indispensable for the scenes of shopkeepers, vendors, and salesmen smiling from ear to ear. Not only the people pray for rain and welcome the Yuxian to the city, but also the merchants and merchants are beaming with joy and welcome the Yuxian, becoming new believers of the Three Immortals Temple.
.
It's good to have rain, but it's even better if it can bring you wealth and bring wealth.
The good and auspicious days for worshiping gods are between Si and Wu.
It's about 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The time chosen by Sanxian Temple to open the altar to pray for rain is Si hour, which is nine o'clock in the morning.
Therefore, Jin An had to go to Fucheng in advance to meet Master Fu Yin. However, before going out, Jin An took out the ten times of the Five Thunder Evil Slaying Talisman on his body, carefully placed it in the hands of the statue in the Five Thunder Emperor Hall, and repeatedly warned Yu
If something unexpected happened to Master Yangzi today, he would not be able to come back in time and take Shayang to hide in the Hall of the Five Thunder Emperors.
"Master, don't worry and go and assist Mr. Fu Yin. I will take good care of the Taoist temple." Uncle Yuyangzi smiled and nodded.
Jin An also told brother and sister A Fei and Zi Yue to listen to their master today and not run around anywhere. They should stay in the Five Thunder Emperor's Palace to cultivate thunder skills. When he comes back, they will be tested by the school.
After complaining, he took the old Taoist priest out and headed towards the government office.
The old Taoist priest liked to join in the fun and would follow him no matter what, so Jin An had no choice but to take the old Taoist priest with him. Mr. Fu Yin knew the old Taoist priest. When he and the old Taoist priest came to the government office, Mr. Fu Yin showed great reaction to the arrival of the old Taoist priest.
Warmly welcome and praise the Five Zang Taoist Temple as a place of crouching tiger, hidden dragon. If we can invite two Taoist masters from the Wu Zang Taoist Temple to help us today, today's process of offering sacrifices and praying for rain will be smooth sailing.
Not to mention, the old Taoist priest has a good skin. Putting aside the old, crooked and wretched image when he was with Jin An, when facing outsiders, he has a fairy-like demeanor and is ethereal. His temperament is very good, and he can kill both men and women.
, this is the capital that the old Taoist priest used to travel around the world.
In addition to Lord Fu Yin, there are also a large number of senior officials who will participate in the rain praying ceremony today. They will pray for rain together with the people.
The old Taoist priest looked around and saw that Master Fuyou, Master Fuyun, and Master Fuyao of Sanxian Temple were not in the government office. After asking, he found out that the three masters were at the altar for final inspection to avoid any omissions.
Seeing that it was almost time, Lord Fu Yin called Jin An and the old Taoist priest, and together with the other officials rode a carriage to the place of sacrifice.
Before leaving the government office, an official looked hesitant and said that today is the time for Sanxian Temple to worship the gods and pray for rain. We have brought two additional Taoist priests from Wuzang Taoist Temple to the meeting. Will this cause displeasure to Sanxian Temple? Yes.
No need to disguise yourself and put on folk clothes to avoid revealing your identity as a Taoist temple?
Jin An and the old Taoist priest did not speak, but looked at Master Fu Yin.
Mr. Fu Yin looked majestic: "The official robe on my body represents the holy king of the imperial court. Under Pu Tian, is it the royal land? Even if the Three Immortals Temple is connected to the gods, it is still under the rule of the imperial court. It is the imperial court that allows the people to live and work in peace and contentment.
Long-term peace and stability does not depend on one or two rain prayers from Sanxian Temple. Taoist priests Jin An and Chen are the nobles invited by me, why should they hide their heads and show their tails? I represent the court, why should I look at the face of Sanxian Temple?"
Master Fu Yin's words were spoken not only to Jin An and the old Taoist priests, but also to all the officials present. With Master Fu Yin's words, it is equivalent to setting the tone for today's sacrifice to gods and prayers for rain, and officials are prohibited from worshiping them.
