Chapter 506 begins

Many times, the greater the moment, the more it opens up to an inconspicuous moment.

A little person who is not so important, makes a decision that seems not so important, but under the impetus of fate, it opens a great and tragic prelude.

But in fact, is that really the case?

Those small changes are really not in the grasp of some beings?

Aren't those sudden changes really premeditated?

The answer is clear and vague.

It depends on how people think and how they look.

The same thing, under the influence of time, people's hearts, rumors, and personal thoughts, will always reflect different changes.

The arrival of a catastrophe, the passing of a greatness, the birth of a life, the death of a thought... They may have happened at the same time, and it's hard to say whether they were involved, whether they were intrinsically connected, whether they implied anything.

When change comes.

As agents of change, they also don't have the ability to control the big picture and be fully aware.

Because there is more than one hand behind the back, no one can be sure whether he is a chess player or a chess piece.

Like a beast in the forest that has just captured its prey, it is not sure that it is not the prey, and the prey it catches is not the bait that lures it.

The northern part of Min has been dry for nearly three months, and since the beginning of summer, the sun has been blazing, but there has not been a drop of rain, and it is almost the autumn harvest season.

However, the crops in the field are depressed because of the long-term lack of water.

If there is no rainfall, then the river water alone will not be able to meet the standard of a good harvest.

In order to compete for water, many villages located in the upper and lower reaches of a river have repeatedly engaged in armed fights.

Food shortages will lead to more social problems.

And after the drought, locust plagues often appear, which make many elderly people even more worried.

The cultivators who have been invited to pray for rain have come one after another, but they have never been able to make contributions.

According to those cultivators, there was not a trace of water vapor condensing in the air in the northern part of the Min Kingdom, and even if they could forcibly cast a spell and attract a little bit of 'immortal dew', it would only be a drop in the bucket.

It still won't rain to moisten the whole thirsty and greedy earth.

The air here is like a dry towel, and no matter how you wring it, you can't squeeze out a drop of water.

And the only one who can sympathize with heaven and earth, directly order heaven and earth, forcibly promote the rise of water vapor, and rainfall in a large area is the only true immortal.

Even if it is a real person, he only adapts measures to local conditions and takes advantage of the situation.

When there are clouds in the sky, only then can thunder the clouds and rain through the clouds.

There are some truths and some falsehoods.

Practitioner··· Even the great cultivators of the Yuan Shen Realm can't make rain out of thin air, this is true.

But to say that they have no way to rain on a large scale is actually false.

It is possible to cast spells in arrays, or with the help of special magic weapons, to mobilize a large number of water sources from other places.

It's just... What is the life and death of those ordinary people to the cultivators who are high up?

Don't say that it is for the people to the cultivators.

Even among those bureaucrats who enjoy the people's fat and people's anointing, how many are not like this?

The life or death of a group of ordinary people is not as important as a meal... It's never a joke.

In fact, those who came to pray for rain and cast spells were just some low-level cultivators.

Those who are invited to come and receive heavy benefits, and those who 'gladly' pray for rain are not the highest in the later stage of Jindan.

After all, the entire Min country is only an inconspicuous small country in a corner of Wenzhou, because it is surrounded by mountains, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it will not be annexed by the neighboring country.

At the beginning of praying for rain, there were still some cultivators who had cultivated a little.

Later, he rushed to the doctor.

There are many more liars.

The titles of the liars are louder and louder, but the methods are more and more unsightly.

Some scammers cheat their money out of their money and run away.

Of course, there are many who were killed on the spot by angry people, explaining what it means to kill birds for food.

Gradually, even the liars stopped coming.

The feeling of despair permeated the entire northern part of the Min country, and even gradually spread to the whole country.

After all, if there is a shortage of grain in the north, the grain production in the south alone will not be enough to supply the whole country.

What's more, the south of Min has always been dominated by planting fruit trees and tea, which is an important export of Min country.

The pressure of grain production has been pressed in the north.

As for asking for help...

This comes at a cost.

What's more, the price of the easy defense and difficult attack of the Min State is that the external transportation is very inconvenient.

It is almost impossible to bring grain into the country on a large scale without the help of a large number of monks.

At the gate of the dilapidated wild temple, Liu San, who was wearing a cloak and a feather, was lying on a bamboo chair, squinting his eyes, thinking about how he would pretend to be a ghost and stutter.

He is not a practitioner.

But because of a fluke, he got a mantra from the corner of a broken ancient artifact, and he has the ability to drive some inexplicable powers.

This ability is not very remarkable, but it also allows him to pretend to be a ghost among the people, have a certain deterrent power, and become a famous wizard in ten miles and eight towns.

In the distance, a large number of footsteps came quickly from the foot of the mountain.

Soon a large group of people crowded in front of the wild temple.

Looking at Liu San lying on the bamboo chair, these people didn't say a word, so they fell to their knees and kowtowed.

The one who took the lead at the front was a very famous old man in the neighborhood, who lived to be seventy-two years old, and was already the longest-lived person within a radius of a hundred miles.

"Immortal Master, please save us!"

"If you do this again... We won't be able to live!" The old man looked at Liu San with eager eyes and tears, very humbly, and pleaded urgently.

Liu San turned around and did not respond.

Just five days ago, when Liu San went down the mountain to wander, he saw with his own eyes that it was this old man, who took the young men in the village, and beat two swindlers who came to the pit and kidnap them to death on the ridge.

At that time, the old man's face was full of anger.

In the era of material poverty and humble human life, the old guy who can live to his seventies and still have a strong body and become the most famous person in ten miles and eight towns... But it is by no means a good stubble, and the kindness of the elder is here with him, just a disguise.

The people pleaded again and again, but Liu San just pretended not to see it.

He has some ability, and he knows it in his heart.

With the help of mantras, it's just a matter of pretending to be a ghost, if you really want him to pray for rain... He never had the ability to do that.

"Immortal Master, we know that you are a person with great abilities. ”

"If you are willing to come forward to pray for rain, we have not only gathered a hundred taels of silver for you, but also... You can also make a book of all people for you, and beg the Son of Heaven to make you an official. "The old man no longer just led the people to beg, and began to offer prepared prices.

The selection of officials in the Min State is not a imperial examination system.

In addition to being recommended by prestigious officials and nobles, it is also an important means to enter the officialdom by the spontaneous request of the common people.

When Liu San heard this, of course he was moved.

If you become an official, then you don't need to be abducted and deceived anymore.

In the future, you can also live a decent life, marry a wife of more than a dozen rooms, and not repeat it every day.

But... Thinking about it again, Liu San calmed down again, all these conditions are only possible if you pray for rain successfully.

If it fails...

Liu San thought of the fate of those liars and shook his head again.

At this time, the old man stood up, walked up to Liu San, and whispered a few words in his ear, and Liu San's eyes suddenly lit up.
