Chapter 332: Fish in the Sky
(Thank you Dawang Tea, Gu Xiang, Lin Zige, and Feng BBS for your strong support, thank you!) A few hours after the last hour, everyone cleared their pockets, and those with monthly passes voted for Muzi! )
A long drought is a rainstorm!
The rain was very heavy, at first the rain fell like beans, and after a while it was already pouring rain, as if the Milky Way fell in nine days all of a sudden.
However, although the rain was heavy, no one was in a hurry to go home, the drought had been for more than half a year, and there had not been a real heavy rain this year. Now there is finally such a heavy rain, and it is now the dog days, although the rain is heavy, it is really chilling.
Many people have had difficulty even drinking water during this time, and naturally they have no conditions for bathing, and now they are cheering loudly in the rain and taking a bath.
Li Jing was also excited at this time, it was really raining, it was really raining at noon today. And it was in Li Liang that they made a legend that they had agreed with the Dragon King that it was raining at noon today. Li Jing knew how timely this rain was. Not only can it effectively alleviate the current drought, but more importantly, after such a rain, Li Jing is really going to become a god stick.
When he made the Divine Fire and the Flying Fire before, Li Jing taught him these two things by saying that it was the Dragon King of the East China Sea who entrusted him with a dream. This incident once attracted many people to believe that Li Jing was covered with a veil of mystery. However, although some people believe it, there are still people who don't believe it. But this time it was different, although some people could expect it. But as it rains now. There will never be more than one hand in the world that can be predicted.
And because of Li Liang, they let people say those words in advance. said that Li Jing asked the dragon king to borrow rain in his dream, and said that he would come to rain at noon today, but as a result, it really rained at noon today.
At this time, Li Jing could believe that his name as the messenger of the dragon was settled. In such an era, it can be a little mythical, for ordinary people. The effect is enormous.
In the past, there was a cash-for-work relief for the victims, and now there is this matter of borrowing rain from the Dragon King, Li Jing believes that in Dengzhou, his people's hearts have finally been firm.
Wiping a handful of rain from his face, Li Jing looked up to the sky and smiled.
was smiling proudly, and suddenly something was caught in the rain and fell directly into Li Jing's mouth.
Li Jing stretched out his hand and touched it, it was slippery, and when he took it to the front of him, he couldn't help but be surprised. It's an octopus in my hand!
Li Jing blinked his eyes several times, but he couldn't understand what was going on. It's a fresh octopus. Even alive, struggling in his hands. He looked left and right, and he was on a nine-zhang high altar, and except for him, thirty-six virgins, and seventy-two virgins, no one else dared to ascend such a sacred altar of prayer for rain. And the more than 100 teenagers and girls had forgotten their caution when praying for rain at this time, and they were all playing in the rain, far away from him.
Just when Li Jing was puzzled, there was a sudden snap, and his head was smashed again, and Li Jing hurriedly looked down. It turned out to be another fish, this time, it was a prawn.
Immediately after that, something kept falling in the rain, and on the altar, there were many fish jumping, not only fish, but also shrimp, crabs, and turtles.
The rain came and ended very suddenly, and it stopped after only an hour, but because of the heavy rain, although it only rained for an hour, a lot of rain accumulated on the ground. This rain, as can be seen, can greatly alleviate the current drought.
After the rain, the tens of thousands of people in Dengzhou, who were drenched in soup, were all laughing. And in this laughter, there is more excitement, some confusion and fear.
The reason is very simple, around the altar of praying for rain, within a radius of nearly a mile, the heavy rain just now, the dragon king not only rained heavily, but also rained countless shrimp soldiers, crabs, and large and small fish.
It's raining heavily, and it's raining down!
Mackerel, hairtail, rhubarb, small yellow flower, abalone, red crab, black fish, mackerel, mackerel, tuna, salmon, treasure fish, herring, sardines, pomfret, cod, cuttlefish, squid, eel, grouper, horse noodle fish, clove and many more. There are even many prawns and turtles!
It was raining in the sky, something that no one had ever encountered. The boss of Dengzhou was a little overwhelmed by the fish that fell from the sky, and these fish were not one or two, but everywhere, and there were fish everywhere within a mile of the altar.
Li Jing quickly got off the altar, and several times along the way, he stepped barefoot on the fish and almost fell.
There are fish in the sky, Li Jing heard of such a thing in his later life.
According to Li Jing's understanding, such a phenomenon should be caused by a tornado. Tornadoes mostly occur in the hot summer months, when the sun shines on the earth, the surface heats up sharply, and the air near the surface heats up quickly, forming a strong air upward movement. Due to the high water vapor content in the air, once the air rises to the sky, it will form cumulonimbus clouds.
The top of the cloud and the bottom of the cumulonimbus cloud are cold and hot, the temperature difference is very large, the cold air is constantly sinking, the hot air is rising, and the upper and lower air is constantly disturbed, turning into many small vortices. The small vortex slowly rotates and expands, and at its peak it becomes a small funnel-shaped, rapidly rotating wind, which is called a tornado, one end of the tornado may be in contact with the ground, and the other end is connected with the cumulonimbus clouds in the sky, and the diameter can reach tens of meters to 1,000 meters long.
The tornado has a strong gravitational pull, which can absorb objects on the ground into the air and float with the wind, not only sucking up small fish, but also sucking oil storage barrels weighing more than 10 tons into the air to rotate or roll. Tornadoes can also effortlessly carry objects that are sucked into the air up to 30 meters, or even four or five kilometers away, and then thrown to the ground.
As a result, not only water, fish, but also various other objects fell from the sky. For example, 55 years ago, there was a millet rain in Kaifeng, Henan; In 1804 there was wheat rain in Spain; In the early 19th century, it rained shrimp in Denmark; In 1960, it rained frogs in France. Surprisingly, in 1940 there was a rain of silver coins in Russia, which made the local residents ecstatic for a while.
In the summer of 1974. Suddenly the sky was cloudy over the northern part of Australia. Rain. In the midst of a torrential rain. More than 10,000 perch fell from the sky.
It's rare for such a thing to happen, but it's not impossible.
It's just that such a thing could have been a 1 in 100,000, or even a 1 in a million probability, but he could still meet with today's prayer for rain, and what surprised Li Jing even more was that everyone had said that he had agreed with the Dragon King to rain today, and it did rain today. Now it's fishing again, and it's a rare thing in a thousand years.
However, if you think about it carefully, Dengzhou was originally close to the sea, and the tornado at sea swept up the fish, and then blew to Dengzhou, which seems to be in the past.
But the people of Dengzhou don't know this, and they won't think like this. What they didn't expect was that Li Jing went to the Dragon Palace to borrow this rain from the Dragon King, and this fish might have been borrowed from the Dragon King by Li Jing.
The earth is full of fish. But no one dares to pick it up, it's all the Dragon King's stuff. Which dares to pick it up easily.
Li Jing rushed to the altar wet, and tens of thousands of people in Dengzhou were standing there with different expressions. Even the brothers Li Liang and Li Zhen, as well as Guo Cheng'an and Zhang Hong and others, were all confused, and when they saw Li Jing, they hurriedly ran over and asked softly: "Before the rain before, I saw the Lord waving his hand and shouting to the sky, are you talking to the Dragon King?" And this fish, does it have anything to do with it? ”
Looking at Zhang Hong, who was looking at him expectantly, and Brother Li Liang and others who were also waiting for an answer, Li Jing originally wanted to explain that this was the cause of the tornado, but he closed his mouth again, he looked at the people next to him who were also surprised and uneasy, and knew that even if he really explained, the people would not believe it. When I think about it, I might as well make this matter a little more mysterious. It is said that feudal superstition kills people, but judging from the result of the last time he made a divine fire and said that it was the dragon king's teaching, such a thing is actually good for him.
After a pause, Li Jing laughed loudly, attracting the attention of countless people and listening attentively. Then he deliberately said loudly: "Last night I had a dream, I dreamed that I was sitting in the Assassin's Mansion and was reviewing official documents, and suddenly an old man came to see me outside the door, claiming to be the messenger of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, saying that the Dragon King of the East China Sea wanted to see me. I followed him all the way out of the house and walked to the dock of Dengzhou, when suddenly a large turtle rose in the sea, hunched over a beautiful room. That Lao Tzu invited me to board the turtle's back together, and not long after entering the room, I fell to the East China Sea Dragon Palace. The Dragon Palace, all built of crystal, a real crystal palace, crystal clear, sparkling. ”
Those people listened attentively, but none of them objected.
"And then!"
When Li Jing saw everyone's appearance, he smiled and continued to make up: "Later, I saw the Dragon King of the East China Sea, the Dragon King was wearing a crown crown sun and moon robe, and he was a rather majestic old man, but he had two dragon horns like antlers on his forehead. When I saw the dragon king, I begged the dragon king for rain, and the dragon king told me that the great drought was a punishment from heaven. However, the people of Dengzhou worshiped the incense of the dragon king, and read my sincerity, so they said that they were willing to be the master to lend us a rain, originally said that it was only half an hour, I begged for a long time, and only promised an hour after the last. And said that the most important thing depends on whether the people of Dengzhou are sincere. ”
"And then?" Someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask in a loud voice.
"Then, the Dragon King left me in the Dragon Palace to drink a lot of elixir and jade liquid, delicious food. The wine was so delicious that I had to drink a few more glasses, and then I got drunk, and then, as soon as I got drunk, it was dawn, and I found that it was a dream. ”
"It's not a dream, it's that after the king got drunk, the dragon king sent the old turtle to send the king back." Someone immediately published the truth, which attracted a lot of support.
"Lord Envoy, what's the matter with this fish, were you talking to the Dragon King on the altar earlier?" Someone else asked aloud.
Li Jing said: "I saw Yunqi on the stage before, and I also remembered the dream situation that night, but I didn't see the Dragon King, so I thanked the Cloud and thanked the Dragon King for his great rainfall. Then there was a heavy rain, and fish fell from the sky, and I thought that this should be a gift from the dragon king when he saw us suffering. ”
"It must be so, the Dragon King must have seen that there are many of us, so it is inconvenient to reveal his true body." Li Liang also hurriedly said.
Li Jing smiled and said: "This is the Dragon King's grudge against the people of Dengzhou, don't worry, let's pick up the fish." ”
With this explanation, everyone finally felt at ease and began to pick up fish one after another. It took more than an hour for the fish to be picked up, but the people didn't dare to keep it privately, and they all handed it over to the Thorn Mansion. There are more than 100,000 fish, large and small, as well as many shrimps, crabs, turtles, etc., totaling more than 500,000 catties.
Li Jing called these fish a gift from the Sea Dragon King, so every family in Dengzhou got one or two fish. In addition, Li Jing divided the remaining fish into two parts, one part was sent to Song Wei in Qingzhou, and the other part was filled with water for some fish that were still alive, and some of the dead were packed with ice.
Since the rain only fell in most parts of Dengzhou, even the nearby Laizhou and Qingzhou did not fall. It made Li Jing's dream of entering the Dragon Palace to borrow rain, and the legend of the Dragon King raining and sending fish became more widespread. Not only has everyone in Dengzhou heard such stories, but even Laizhou, Qingzhou and other places have begun to recite these legends, and the more they spread, the more gods they spread.
Since then, Dengzhou families have enshrined the god of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and the incense of the Dragon King Temple of the East China Sea has become more and more vigorous, and Li Jing has also been recited as the messenger of the dragon by countless people!
