The scolding words came to his lips, but he didn't spit them out.
Yan Song did not object to his cultivation of immortality, but only accused Tao Zhongwen of pretending to be a magician. This suddenly extinguished the emperor's anger - what he was really angry about was always the opposition of his ministers to his pursuit of immortality.
But Tao Zhongwen quit. He felt guilty and could only cover it up with anger. A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said coldly:
"Yan Shoufu, since you said this, you must be confident of praying for rain. Please come on stage and pray for rain for my Ming Dynasty!"
In his eyes, this sentence would be a sure blow. Even a weather master like him couldn't control the weather, let alone Yan Song?
However, Yan Song seemed to be stimulated by him and blurted out immediately:
"Okay! Your Majesty, please give me a try!"
Tao Zhongwen was startled for a moment. At this time, he thought that the chief minister's head was broken. Jiajing also frowned:
"My dear, please stop talking nonsense... Yue Yu... just wait, just wait!"
However, Yan Song's attitude was extremely firm, and Tao Zhongwen on the side saw this and also helped.
He figured out that if Yan Song failed, it would highlight his ability. After all, he had finally created a dark cloud.
Yan Song? What can he do?
In this way, Emperor Jiajing hesitated and agreed.
However, unexpectedly, Yan Song did not choose to pray for rain here.
He led a large group of people back to the city, and finally came to the Jingping King Temple.
"How can you succeed by pretending to be a god and playing tricks on a random altar in the countryside? Only by going to this place where the gods truly care can you have a chance to receive a gift!"
Yan Song stood in front of the temple and said loudly, but Tao Zhongwen was stunned when he heard the words, feeling angry inside. He didn't expect that the other party would not forget to belittle him at this time.
However, thinking that the more rampant he is now, the worse his end will be, Tao Zhongwen couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
The person who does these things knows better than anyone else whether there are immortals or gods in the world, so he doesn't panic.
I heard that the Yan clan respected their ancestor, but I didn't expect that it would be so blind, even worse than that of Jiajing! He sneered in his heart, preparing to watch the chief assistant lose all his wealth and life here today.
It won’t rain no matter who comes today, I said so!
Zhu Houcong also frowned slightly. He had read the "Biography of the Heroes of the Ming Dynasty" and naturally felt that Yan Ling's reputation was mostly spread among the people. He felt that the various so-called miraculous deeds in the past had mostly artistic elements. He suddenly felt that the chief assistant was fooling around. If his chief immortal master hadn't helped him, he wouldn't have let Yan Song come out.
Although the people respected Yan Ling, after all, Tao Zhongwen really succeeded in praying for rain, while Yan Ling regarded him more as a legendary figure. At this time, there were constant doubts.
Hearing the questioning voices around him, Yan Song just smiled calmly:
"It's just that you are not sincere."
Directly firing the map cannon immediately shocked the crowd, and the dissatisfaction in Jiajing's eyes gradually increased. He didn't understand how the usually steady Yan Shoufu became so wild today.
He casually waved his hand and agreed to Yan Song's initial request. He leaned on his chair, not at all as dignified as when Tao Zhongwen was praying for rain just now.
Yan Song was not disturbed by this. He strode forward and finally asked Tao Zhongwen:
"The Dragon King really won't come?"
Tao Zhongwen responded loudly:
"No! It will be at least a month before you can ask for rain again!"
A smile flashed across Yan Song's lips, and he walked straight to the huge statue of King Jingping.
Burning incense and sacrificing animals are all in style.
Then, he began to recite prayers in a serious manner.
Tao Zhongwen stood aside quietly and even yawned. These were all leftovers from his play.
It would be weird if I could ask for rain... Boom!
A sound of thunder resounded through the sky.
Everyone in the hall raised their heads. That was...thunder?
Are you really asking for rain?
They looked outside the hall in unison and saw a flash of lightning streaking across the sky, accompanied by another earth-shattering roar!
Emperor Jiajing's eyes widened, while Tao Zhongwen's lips trembled.
No, no, how could these things be effective... Yes, yes, a dark cloud came over me just now!
He comforted himself in his heart.
However, the reality disappointed him. Shortly after the thunder ended, he heard a few sparse "cracking" sounds, and then, there were dense "cracking" sounds!
At this time, Yan Song happened to finish reciting the prayer. He turned around and looked outside the hall, with his hands behind his back.
In the distant Chen Guogong Mansion, Yan Ling was standing on a tall building, waving a flag in his hand, which was what Jiajing received when he ascended the throne.
【Sitian Banner】
[Can be dispatched to intervene in the weather and avoid natural disasters]
[Scope limit: 10,000 square kilometers]
[The cooling time for each region change is one month. 】
Yan Ling had been using it to control the weather in his hometown and bless the weather there, but now he decisively changed the area and used it on the capital side.
The effect is remarkable. Every time the flag is waved, the lightning becomes more dazzling and the rain becomes more abundant!
Outside the palace, heavy rain is pouring!
Someone turned around and rushed into the rain curtain. Feeling the moisture flowing all over his body, he shouted excitedly:
"It's raining, it's raining!"
There was a burst of surprise among the people in the palace. The ministers stretched their necks and looked outside the palace. Even Emperor Jiajing stood up suddenly and looked outside the palace with disbelief.
It’s really raining, but how is that possible!
He knew Yan Song very well. He was definitely not a Taoist, so it could only be a favor bestowed by this immortal.
Could it be that Yan Ling, no, King Jingping's ascension to immortality was not a folk legend but a fact? Including the strong wind before and so on, are they all real?
And compared to Shao Yuanjie and Tao Zhongwen who had to wait dozens of days or even one or two months for an auspicious day before praying for rain, and failed, here it only took a quarter of an hour to pray for rain, and the verdict was clear!
The pouring rain was accompanied by earth-shaking thunder, shocking everyone's hearts. This unprecedented heavy rain made everyone more convinced that it was a gift from the immortal!
Emperor Jiajing clenched his fists and his palms were covered with sweat, but his heart was beating excitedly. He felt that he had encountered a real miracle today!
Sure enough, there are immortals and gods, and there really is immortality! My path is not wrong!
Looking at the statue, his eyes were full of fanaticism!
The faces of the people were also full of shock and amazement. This was a real miracle, more real than Tao Zhongwen. At this time, Shao Tianshi and Tao Tianshi had long been thrown aside. There was only one person in their eyes, and that was King Jingping who lived high in the temple!
I don’t know who should kneel down first and bow to the statue. The people next to me followed suit. For a moment, everyone bowed their heads. In the end, even many ministers knelt down! Even Xia Yan, who never believed in ghosts and gods, had a look of surprise in his eyes.
He already had a guess about how Tao Taoist could control the wind and rain, but he really couldn't figure this out. Yan Song's sacrifice is a normal ancestor worship process. A set of procedures should take as long as it takes. Obviously, unlike Tao Zhongwen, he is waiting for time.
Are there really immortals?
He couldn't help but bend his knees slightly, feeling that his world view had been subverted.
At this time, there were few people still standing in the palace. Even Emperor Jiajing lowered his proud head and bent his body to show respect for the immortal!
After the salute, everyone stood up one after another, their eyes still filled with reverence and shock. Only one person stood out.
Tao Zhongwen was already stunned on the spot.
He repeatedly observed the weather outside and murmured:
"It's impossible. How can there be rain at this time? It's impossible! It didn't rain just now, but it's raining now. God, you are playing with me, you are playing with me!"
Seeing that the time was ripe, Yan Song immediately pointed at him and said to Emperor Jiajing:
"Your Majesty, don't be deceived by him, this man doesn't know how to ask for rain!"
"What he calls praying for rain is just looking for the right time by watching the sky and making sacrifices to deceive His Majesty. For those things where he succeeded in praying for rain, it would still rain even without him!"
"Your Majesty, you see, the real person has delayed doing things for half a month. Today, the auspicious day of the zodiac has arrived, and he used the excuse that there will be no rain because the Dragon King is not here. In the final analysis, he just misjudged the weather and saw that it would not rain. , I just have to fool Your Majesty!"
"It doesn't take any time for the gods to make rain. As long as you are sincere, it can rain at any time!"
Emperor Jiajing came back from the shock. He was also an extremely smart man. After thinking about what Yan Song said, he suddenly felt——
It seems that it is not impossible.
Qin Tianjian was aware of the art of astronomy, but he was not as accurate as Tao Zhongwen. However, there were many strange people among the people, and it was not impossible that some ancient mountain temples had more reliable methods of observing the weather.
"Bullshit, bullshit!" Tao Zhongwen shouted loudly, but his voice was extremely hoarse and he had no confidence at all.
Normally, Emperor Jiajing would not necessarily believe Yan Song's words because of his trust in him for so many years, but this time, it happened to be very special.
Just after he succeeded in praying for rain, in front of the temple dedicated to the immortal, he was exposed by his descendants, and the reason was very convincing.
The buff stack is full!
