A large number of people, including the natives, knelt down and worshiped, with some piety in their eyes.
The tense situation between the two sides just now suddenly turned against each other, and the little priest knew that he could not stay any longer.
Now that Su Qi'an's reputation and momentum have reached their peak, no one will believe what he is saying.
This is the power of the human heart. Once trusted, it will become a fanatic and then the most loyal believer.
The little priest has experienced this kind of power. Now that Su Qi'an has become a person, it is impossible for him to stop it.
Su Qi'an not only defeated him through fighting, but also stepped on his head, making everyone think that he was a powerful god comparable to the high priest.
Being able to make the gods obey their orders is a position that the little priest cannot shake.
But he is not someone who gives up easily. He has been the little priest of Tucheng for many years, and it is not that easy to defeat him.
At the moment, we can only admit defeat and give in. The future will be long, and we will plan for it slowly.
The little priest stared at Su Qi'an with a sinister gaze, his mouth moved slightly but he made no sound.
With lip language, he said, "We'll see." Then he turned and left.
Su Qian stood on the high platform with a smile on his face. He didn't care about the little priest's threats.
After coming to Tucheng, I had a heart-to-heart talk with Wu Yong. This Tucheng will be the base camp for Su Qi'an's future development.
And if you want your power to grow, there will have to be a winner sooner or later between you and the little priest.
There can only be one talker in this Tucheng. Not only that, in the future, Su Qi'an will also be the final person in power in Jiaozhou.
The words sounded loud and far away, but this was Su Qian's goal.
After the Xizhou Incident, Su Qi'an realized the truth. If he wanted to protect those around him from harm, he had to become stronger himself.
And this kind of power is not a county or a county, but a state. Only with the strength of a state can people really not dare to despise it.
This is contrary to Su Qi'an's original intention. He originally wanted to be a small official, obtain the distinguished status of earl or marquis, take his family, and be an idle marquis. Wouldn't it be nice?
But in the end, the torrent of time made Su Qian know that whether he wanted to or not, he had long been wrapped up in fate and involved.
What he can do now is to develop his strength step by step and make himself truly powerful. For this purpose, Su Qian must be ambitious.
In the future, before troubled times come, only then can we not be treated as pawns to be played by others.
Withdrawing his heart, Su Qi'an won this battle in the Rain Temple. As for the ability to control wind and rain just now, to put it bluntly, it was just a trick to fool people.
Both Su Qi'an and the little priest were able to do this with the help of the right time and place, as well as their considerable experience in weather forecasting.
Su Qi'an's three days at the county government office were not just for rest. During those three days, he had seen in detail the little priest's spiritual skills in Tucheng for more than ten years.
He found that the young priest was a capable person and had rich experience in observing weather.
Moreover, this person had participated in the imperial examination and must have been exposed to many miscellaneous books.
With some of his little tricks and rich predictions from meteorological observations, he was able to reappear, just like the power of a god.
The same is true for Su Qi'an. The main reason why he was able to summon thunder was that he had left several pieces of conductive iron on the little priest's body beforehand.
First use words to provoke him and let him go up to the high platform. According to the topography, this constructed high platform is an excellent open air location.
And Jiaozhou is in the south. The south is already rainy and humid. It would be strange to carry conductive iron pieces on your body and stand in the open air at high places so as not to be struck by lightning.
As for Su Qi'an's so-called letting the rain stop, it is even simpler. It is entirely based on meteorological observations to make judgments.
Of course, Su Qian's research on meteorology is a complete novice. He has such ability not because of himself, but because he has some capable people.
These capable people include craftsmen, blacksmiths, senior farmers, and an official from Congqin Tianjian.
Except for the official of Qin Tianjian who was appointed by His Majesty, all of these people were found by Su Qi'an in the county after he returned to Xizhou and took control of Lingbei County.
These people will be the backbone of Su Qi'an's future efforts to develop his power in Jiaozhou.
In order for these talents to arrive in Jiaozhou safely, Su Qi'an spent a lot of effort.
Su Qi'an did not even inform Qin Ziyin or Lu Xiaowan about the initial search, and completely assigned Su Yong, Tong Zhan and other special forces to conduct it secretly.
After the personnel were replenished, he took a step ahead of him and left Xizhou in advance. Although the entire Xizhou was under martial law at that time, Tang Feng was guarding against Su Qi'an. Everyone in the territory was staring at Su Qi'an.
He ignored this group of unarmed low-class people at all, so he left Xizhou smoothly.
Of course, in order to prevent accidents along the way, Su Qi'an specially sent dozens of guards to escort him out of Kyoto and go through a life-and-death battle.
This group of guards has undergone profound transformation after experiencing life and death battles, and they are perfect for being used as escorts.
After Su Qi'an escaped from Tang Feng's pursuit, he finally met them at the border between the two states.
With the addition of this group of talents, Su Qi'an can show his talents in Jiaozhou.
After entering Jiaozhou, the first trouble he encountered was the little priest. Although Su Qi'an didn't know much about weather and astrology, he had an official from Qin Tianjian beside him.
The young priests of Tucheng did have some abilities, but compared to the officials of Qintianjian, they were dwarfed.
In layman's terms, one is from a formal background and has gone through systematic learning, while the other is Yehuchan who relies on clever tricks.
Moreover, if you look closely at the so-called spiritual communication of the young priest, you will find that there are also flaws.
Jiaozhou is already rainy and humid, and the weather can be said to be cloudy or cloudy, and the weather can change at any time.
Su Qi'an learned this when he came to Jiaozhou.
As for the little priest's ability to communicate with the gods, it takes a long time each time and does not appear immediately. The practice takes at least more than a quarter of an hour.
And this gave him enough time to delay. When the opportunity came, and cooperated with his nagging, he could really encounter the so-called heavy rain or light rain in this uncertain weather.
These natives were ignorant themselves, but after seeing this scene and the support from the crowd, they naturally became convinced without thinking.
Su Qi'an's fighting method is just to treat others in their own way.
How did the little priest get the power to communicate with the gods, and how did Su Qi'an recreate it.
Su Qi'an's fighting skills this time were even bolder than that of the little priest, who at best pretended to be the so-called rain god.
Su Qi'an is higher than the Rain God and commands a level above the Rain God. In local terms, only when he reaches the high priest level can he command the gods in the sky.
With the advance predictions of the subordinate officials and the cooperation of the crowd, the little priest made a plan, and everything was perfectly presented in the eyes of everyone.
In today's battle, Su Qi'an basically gained a foothold in Tucheng.
Next, Su Qi'an planned to pursue the victory, and the next step was to take over the land from the little priest of Tucheng.
This time the battle of skills in the Rain Temple is not just a simple battle of skills between the two sides, there is a stake.
If Su Qi'an loses, not only must he agree to compensate all the demands made by the little priest, but he must also kneel down and apologize like the stone statue of the Rain God.
On the contrary, the little priest was defeated, and Su Qi'an wanted nothing more than a piece of land around Tucheng, which would be used by Su Qi'an from now on.
The land around the Tucheng is not large, only about half the size of the Tucheng, which is less than one-tenth of the land owned by the little priest.
And the soil quality is not very good, it is not a very good land.
But the location is very important. It is near Tucheng, which is equivalent to surrounding Tucheng.
You can monitor the Tucheng. Once there is a drought, the little priest will immediately send people to important places to set up checkpoints.
Directly charge high prices for entering and leaving the city, especially for the material convoys dispatched to support Tucheng.
The entry fee was ridiculously high, and it was through this that the little priest made a lot of money.
The reason why the little priest is so confident is because of the high priest behind him and the Jiaozhou Territory Priest Alliance.
Therefore, whenever this happens, and Wu Yong has no background, the people above him will naturally not stand up for him, and he can only swallow the pain.
As for today's complete victory, Su Qi'an and Wu Yong had already discussed it, and the first piece of land they wanted was around Tucheng.
And this is their first step to break the barrier of the little priest. Sooner or later, they will take back all the land in the entire Tucheng.
Let them know that the only parent official in Tucheng is the county magistrate.
The road is long and arduous, but with the first step to break the ice, the road ahead will surely be cleared.
After the battle in the Rain Temple, Su Qi'an and Wu Yong led a team of people and went straight to the residence of the young priest.
The little priest's residence is quite luxurious. It is a bit far away from the Tucheng, but the quality of the land is very good. A three-story building was built directly in the middle.
Compared with the surrounding low mud houses, thatched houses, and bamboo houses, the blue brick house in the middle is particularly conspicuous.
There is no stone production in Tucheng. The young priest was able to build such a luxurious residence. The stones were all transported from Qingcheng County.
With such luxury, Tucheng County Government suddenly seemed very poor.
But this time, they did not pay too much attention, but formally handed over the jurisdiction of the ground near Tucheng to the little priest.
Originally, Wu Yong was worried that with the temperament of the young priest, he might make things difficult for him, or he might vehemently deny it.
But unexpectedly, the little priest seemed to be a different person. Not only did he not refuse, but he immediately took out the contract for the land near Tucheng and handed it to Su Qi'an without them having to ask.
With a kind smile on his face, he said some compliments and wished that Tucheng would develop better and better under Su Qi'an's jurisdiction.
Su Qi'an was not polite to him. After taking the contract, he turned around and led the people away.
After leaving the little priest's residence, Wu Yong reminded him, "Uncle, you'd better be careful. According to what I've been dealing with for so long, he is a person who must retaliate for his actions, and he is definitely not so polite."
Su Qi'an nodded, "Yes, you are right, but the soldiers will block the water and cover it with earth. Now we should develop the Tucheng. Only when we are strong will these magicians be afraid."
