Chapter 286 Everything is ready, all we need is the south wind
His Majesty Li Er was found out about his shameless plan, but someone else took the lead before the plan was implemented. He was so angry that he became so angry! He was unhappy, and naturally he couldn't bear to see others happy, so he planned to beat Fang Jun to find a balance...
Fang Jun could only say calmly: "Wei Chen knows His Majesty's urgency, and also knows His Majesty's trust in Wei Chen. He also knows that Your Majesty must be a Wei Chen with a clever plan that will make people cry... However, Wei Chen still has to Tell your majesty, it’s really just asking for rain!”
His Majesty Li Er was so angry that his nose was filled with smoke!
Why are there so many rows in the bar? Why don't you just tell me directly that the big battle you created is just bullshit!
Although he also knew that Fang Jun could not have any ability to move the wind and rain, and the bet in the Tai Chi Palace was more about buying time for him as the emperor, he still had some expectations in his heart, hoping that Fang Jun would give him a better day. Big surprise.
After all, His Majesty Li Er really doesn’t want to raise his butcher knife against those aristocratic families that bore him so much...
However, when Fang Jun told the truth, he still felt a little disappointed.
"How can such a thing as praying for rain not be presided over by a Taoist master?" Li Chunfeng finally put down the "Mathematics" book in his hand and came over. He was quite dissatisfied with Fang Jun's insistence on excluding Taoism.
In ancient times, due to different customs, the forms of praying for rain were also various, but the most authoritative and formal form was still the Taoist rain praying ceremony.
Moreover, the Li Tang royal family claims to be the descendants of Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu is the ancestor of Taoism and is of the same family as Taoism. If his own family has something to do, why should he invite outsiders?
His Majesty Li Er also said: "What the Taoist Master said is right. The steps in this matter are complicated. You are young and have little knowledge, so it is inevitable that you will not be thorough. It would be more secure for Taoist Master Li to preside over it."
His Majesty Li Er has always respected Li Chunfeng. After all, this awesome man is extremely talented and extremely capable.
Fang Jun had no choice but to say: "Isn't this minister afraid that Taishi Li will be entangled in secular affairs and delay his cultivation?"
Li Chunfeng said in a strange tone: "Is it possible that the Fang Shilang thinks that Pindao can still achieve the Great Dao? To be honest, Pindao is surrounded by worldly affairs, so don't mention this cultivation!"
Fang Junqi said: "A Taoist priest with such vast magical powers and extraordinary talents like Li Taishi should pursue refining Qi, refining Qi to restore the spirit, refining the spirit to restore the void, refining the void to combine with the Tao, and finally form a golden elixir, white The highest state of the sun’s ascension?”
Li Chunfeng was startled by Fang Jun's words, his face changed drastically, and he asked anxiously: "How did Fang Shilang know the secret of my Taoist practice?"
Haven't you told the secret yet?
Just these few sentences are almost ruining the street, okay?
But then Fang Jun realized that this was the Tang Dynasty, where information transmission was extremely slow and information sources were extremely scarce. In later generations, a casual search on the Internet would reveal countless Taoist cultivation classics, but now there are none at all...
Because of the backwardness of printing technology and the problem of the ancients cherishing their brooms, the so-called Taoist thought is only the dissemination of some universal Taoist philosophies, setting up an illusory framework, but for such secrets as cultivation, there is not a word. It will be spread out.
Fang Jun realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he had to hide it awkwardly: "I heard, just heard, haha..."
Li Chunfeng obviously didn't believe it, and stared at Fang Jun suspiciously, which made Fang Jun feel very scared...
His Majesty Li Er said: "Didn't you say that your master has been traveling in Shu and will return to Beijing? If it is too late, if not, let him preside over this rain praying ceremony."
Fang Jun was startled and said, "Be obedient!" Just one Li Chunfeng made him nervous, fearing that his "tail" would be exposed. If Yuan Tiangang, who was even more powerful than Li Chunfeng, came, wouldn't he be "revealed" in a matter of seconds?
Fortunately, Li Chunfeng shook his head and said: "I'm looking at the sky. Recently, the clouds have condensed and the stars have become dim. I'm afraid there will be a rain. My teacher sent someone to bring a letter the day before yesterday. I'm still a generation of Jianmen, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time."
< br>
His Majesty Li Er was overjoyed when he heard this: "Is it really going to rain?"
Li Chunfeng sighed: "Wei Chen only observed that the clouds were condensing, which was a precursor to rainfall, but he did not dare to say whether it would rain or when it would rain."
His Majesty Li Er was a little disappointed, but Fang Jun was overjoyed!
The old craftsman Zhao Genwang also said that there is a sign of rain today, and now Li Chunfeng said this again. It must be well-founded. Even if it doesn't rain, there must be more water vapor in the clouds. Your method will greatly increase the probability of rainfall!
If there is another southerly wind with moisture at the right time...
That would be perfect!
*************
However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment...
Five days have passed since our seven-day appointment. The weather is clear and cloudless, with no sign of rain at all...
Fang Jun has been guarding the top of the southern foot of Lishan Mountain, sighing with a sad face.
Since His Majesty Li Er came that day, he had allowed Fang Jun to do whatever he wanted and ignored him.
But Fang Jun knew that the entire Guanzhong army was being mobilized frequently, and generals in various positions were constantly exchanging positions. This would ensure that the Sixteenth Guards army was under control and could launch a thunderous strike at any time!
Those aristocratic families seemed to be doing nothing, but they would definitely not sit still and wait for death. A raging undercurrent was stirring underground in Chang'an City, just waiting for the moment it broke through the ground, the mountains would collapse and the ground would split and blood would flow into rivers!
Li Chunfeng, a talented person, was impressed by Fang Jun's "Mathematics" and became a huge fan of Fang Jun. He stayed in Fang Jun's barracks on the top of the mountain and refused to move. He always asked Fang Jun some mathematical problems, which annoyed Fang Jun. But I dare not offend...
How could Fang Jun think about taking care of him?
If it doesn't rain again, it doesn't matter if you and Zheng Boling give in. The key is that they will definitely be beaten by the extremely disappointed Majesty Li Er...
By the way, the things I have to deal with this time are not small!
The fleet of "Eastern Datang Company" continuously purchased kelp from coastal areas and transported it to Chang'an along the canal. It was soaked in kelp and then mixed with silver powder to write talismans on it. This matter has become a laughing stock in Guanzhong. Now these talismans and inscriptions are piled up like hills on the top of the mountain, and carriages are still coming continuously, accumulating more and more...
Unable to see Fang Jun's intentions, the ignorant regarded it as a laughing stock, while the more thoughtful people took it for granted that this was a cover for His Majesty Li Er to attract the attention of the world. In fact, His Majesty Li Er was dispatching troops. .
On the fifth day, it was still sunny and sunny...
Fang Jun stared blankly at the gorgeous sunset on the horizon, silent.
This thief really doesn't give you any chance. Even if it doesn't rain, are you so stingy about giving him even a cloudy day? Even if all your efforts are unsuccessful, at least give yourself a chance to give up, right?
Is it true that the world is ruthless, and you only want to be happy when you see the world become ripples and blood flowing like a river?
With great depression, he and Li Chunfeng each drank two glasses of iced grape wine and fell asleep.
In the dream, he returned to his time, with planes in the sky pouring dry ice and silver iodide, rain falling on the ground and the sound of cannons rumbling, and cannonballs filled with silver iodide flying into the sky and exploding in the clouds. After a while, heavy rain fell from the sky. The raindrops washed the dry earth and moistened the withered seedlings. Next to the aircraft and cannons, the cheering farmers turned into the common people of the Tang Dynasty...
A loud shout suddenly rang in his ears, instantly waking Fang Jun from his dream.
Xinxiang Hou Mimi, who was so angry when he woke up, narrowed his eyes, turned over and wiped the horizontal knife on the wall, intending to cut into pieces the thing that disturbed his dream. But after trying everything in vain, he remembered that the Hengdao, which cost less than a hundred times, had been forcibly bought by Cheng Yaoji at a price a hundred times higher...
When he came to his senses, he saw a Taoist priest dancing in front of him. Fang Jun blinked in confusion, was he... dancing to the Great God?
"The wind is blowing, the clouds are gathering, it's going to rain..."
When the Taoist priest's shout came to his ears, Fang Jun was stunned. He jumped up from the bed and stared at Li Chunfeng: "Is this true?"
Li Chunfeng was very excited: "Don't believe it? Go out and see for yourself!"
Of course you have to see it for yourself, do you think someone will believe you, a charlatan?
Fang Jun didn't have time to put on his clothes. When he got to the door, he looked up and saw that the sky was full of dark clouds covering the stars and moon. The sky was as dark as a black cloth. The heavy black clouds pressed over the city, as if he could reach it at his fingertips! A gust of cool wind blew past him, causing the mountains of talisman paper and inscriptions in the clearing on the top of the mountain to rattle.
south wind!
Fang Jun only felt that the wind carrying the southern moisture made his whole body feel comfortable, and he looked up to the sky and laughed... (End of this chapter)
