Chapter 345: Pray for rain throughout the commune.
Chapter 345: Pray for rain throughout the commune.
Time flies by.
In the morning, the sun rises.
After a day of hard work yesterday, Zhao Kun and others built the rain-praying platform.
I got up early and waited before dawn today.
In addition to them, other villagers also got up early and walked towards the rain-praying platform.
Except Loushan Village, all other villages belong to Daqing Commune.
After daybreak, they all gathered at the threshing ground.
As time passed, Zhao Kun and others became more and more nervous.
After all, the pressure on them this time is really too great.
What if, what if the Taoist priest is fake and cannot pray for rain, their actions will definitely have extremely serious consequences.
……
"What time is it now? Why hasn't the Taoist priest come yet?" Zhao Kun asked uneasily.
Li Qingyun raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch and replied: "It's only seven o'clock now, it's still a long way to nine o'clock."
When the people in Loushan Village saw Zhao Kun's nervous and anxious look, they covered their mouths and laughed.
They had seen Lu Yuan's abilities, so they were not worried about failing to pray for rain, and therefore they only had respect for Lu Yuan.
He was not as nervous and anxious as Zhao Kun and the others.
.........
It's almost nine o'clock.
Most of the people in the village were already kneeling on the ground praying to God for rain.
Although there are always one or two scums in every village who disdain kneeling down to pray for rain.
But most of these people were caught by the villagers before dawn and made to kneel in the middle.
After all, this is a matter of life and death for the entire village, so they take it very seriously.
……
As for Lu Yuan, he sat cross-legged on the kang and estimated the time.
Then he stood up and walked towards the rain-praying platform.
……
At this time, Zhao Kun and others saw Lu Yuan finally come out and walk towards them.
As Lu Yuan walked over, he saw that the villagers were already kneeling on the ground, praying earnestly.
Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction. At this moment, he had arrived at the rain-praying platform and was looking at the big table in the middle.
There were cow heads, sheep heads and pig heads placed on the table, and their bodies were also placed behind the heads.
Lu Yuan looked at the prepared items on the table and nodded with satisfaction.
Lu Yuan looked at the candles on both sides of the table and estimated the time. It was already nine o'clock, with only two minutes left.
With a wave of the whisk in his right hand, the candle was lit.
Zhao Kun and others were amazed when they saw this magical scene.
When they came to their senses, they immediately knelt on the ground and prayed silently.
……
Lu Yuan closed his eyes and looked at the commune with his spiritual sense, looking at the people, big and small, who were all kneeling together at this moment.
Basically everyone was praying very seriously, which made him very satisfied.
He originally planned to take a look and see if there was anyone who was just pretending to do so and then not let it rain in their village.
But after taking a look around with his spiritual sense, he found that almost everyone was kneeling there praying very seriously.
Above them, there was a force of faith.
Although Lu Yuan did not major in the path of faith, he could use this thing to cast spells.
Then he waved the whisk in his hand, and the power of faith gathered above every village was activated by him.
This time it was the first time it was raining, so he could just do it himself.
As for the power of faith, just keep it and let it rain at night every once in a while.
However, after doing all this, Lu Yuan opened his eyes.
Now the time has exactly come to nine o'clock.
Lu Yuan followed the same process as last time and began to cast the spell to make it rain.
While pinching the magic formula, he shouted: "Wind, cloud, thunder, rain, wind is coming!"
As these words fell, a strong wind suddenly began to blow throughout the Daqing Commune.
Although it is only nine o'clock now, it has been dry for several months after all.
The air was already filled with a hot atmosphere.
Many people were already sweating profusely, but they were still praying honestly for rain.
The strong wind made them feel a little cool.
Zhao Kun and others quietly opened their eyes and looked at Lu Yuan on the rain-praying platform.
I was shocked inwardly, this Taoist priest really has real abilities.
Then he became a little worried about other villages, fearing that they would not obey his instructions and would not pray.
If it rains and doesn't reach those villages, it will be troublesome.
……
"The clouds are coming!" After Lu Yuan's second voice sounded.
Everyone suddenly felt a darkness before their eyes, even though they were praying with their eyes closed.
But that was when I prayed under the sun, with my eyes closed, but I could still clearly sense the brightness.
But it suddenly went dark and everyone opened their eyes subconsciously.
At this moment, everyone in Daqing Commune had their mouths opened into a big O shape, their eyes wide open, their faces filled with shock and disbelief, and they looked up at the sky.
The sky, which was originally clear and sunny, was now covered by dark clouds.
Just now, it was a nice day with sunshine, blue sky and white clouds, but in the blink of an eye, the sky was covered by layer upon layer of thick dark clouds, as if a huge black quilt was covering the entire earth.
At this moment, everyone opened their eyes wide and stared blankly at the sky.
When they saw this sudden change, they felt more awe and piety towards the gods in the sky.
They clasped their hands together, bowed their heads and prayed silently, hoping that the rain would bring a good harvest and happiness.
……
"Thunder is coming!" Lu Yuan shouted, his voice resounding through the sky.
Then, a dull thunder suddenly sounded from the layers of dark clouds, as if a long-sleeping beast was awakened and let out a deafening roar.
As thunder roared, flashes of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the entire Daqing Commune and shaking the surrounding communes.
"Boom, boom, boom"
A series of thunderous explosions like firecrackers exploded continuously in the sky, echoing throughout the Daqing Commune and even reaching nearby communes.
People looked at the sky in horror, their hearts filled with awe.
"Let the rain come!" Then, Lu Yuan shouted for the last time, like an order given to the sky.
In an instant, heavy rain poured down like a waterfall, as if a river in the sky had burst its banks.
Soybean-sized raindrops fell one after another, splashing water on the ground.
However, the people who were kneeling on the ground praying at this moment were suddenly soaked by the raindrops as big as beans.
However, they did not complain or curse because of this. Instead, they shouted excitedly and thanked God for his gift.
At this time, Lu Yuan slowly walked down from the rain-praying platform, with several clearly visible frowns appearing at the corners of his eyes.
Of course, this is just his transformation.
After all, after this incident, other places besides Daqing Commune also need rain to solve the problem of drought.
Someone is sure to leak the news within two days.
Then he will have to take action several times, and each time he prays for rain, he will add a few wrinkles.
Once the drought in various places is resolved, he will just fake his death and get out.
……
Zhao Kun looked at Lu Yuan coming down from the stage. He immediately stood up, took out the umbrella he carried with him, and planned to go up to shield Lu Yuan from the rain.
But when he came to Lu Yuan, he found that there seemed to be an invisible barrier within three feet of Lu Yuan, and the raindrops fell down when they fell three feet away.
"Ah?" Zhao Kun was shocked and couldn't help rubbing his eyes.
The scene before him was unbelievable to him, and he even wondered if he was dazzled.
He tried to look at Lu Yuan again, but the result was the same.
The rain seemed to be blocked by an invisible force and could not wet Lu Yuan at all.
Zhao Kun couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of power is this? Is it true that gods have descended to earth?"
"Layman, it's raining so heavily, you should go into the house to take shelter from the rain!" Lu Yuan's voice drowned out the sound of the heavy rain and rang directly in Zhao Kun's ears.
When Zhao Kun heard Lu Yuan's words, he turned around and watched Lu Yuan walking in the direction he came from. After a while, he disappeared from his sight.
At this time, after being drenched by the rain, the people in Loushan Village all ran towards their homes.
After all, although rain is good for crops, if people are exposed to the rain for a long time, they are likely to catch a cold and get sick.
At this moment, only Zhao Kun and some other people who came from the commune were left near the rain-praying platform. They stood there stupidly, letting the heavy rain soak them.
Lou Anming found a house to take shelter from the rain, then looked at Zhao Kun and others who were still in the rain, and shouted loudly: "Secretary Zhao, come over and take shelter from the rain!"
However, he shouted several times, but found that Zhao Kun and others did not respond.
Perhaps it was because the sound of the heavy rain was too loud that it covered up his shouts, causing Zhao Kun and others to not hear them.
Then he gritted his teeth, rushed out of the house, and came to Zhao Kun and others in the heavy rain.
"Secretary Zhao, let's hide from the rain first, it won't stop anytime soon.
If you keep getting wet, you might get sick, which is not good!" Lou Anming said, grabbing Zhao Kun's hand and running towards a nearby house.
At this time, Zhao Kun came to his senses and followed Lou Anming to a nearby house to shelter from the rain.
The two deputy secretaries of the commune who came with Zhao Kun, as well as the workers, also followed.
……
The rain stopped in less than half an hour.
Zhao Kun thought of something at this moment and ran towards the house where Lu Yuan was.
……
"Just come, monk. There's no need to be so fussy." Lu Yuan spoke when he sensed Zhao Kun lingering at the door.
Zhao Kun was stunned, then he gave a wry smile, opened the door and walked in.
At this moment, he was looking at Lu Yuan who was sitting cross-legged on the kang, Lu Yuan who had a ruddy complexion and steady breathing.
Several clearly visible wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes, and his breath weakened a lot.
This made him swallow back what he was about to say.
