Chapter 47 Excited Citizens
This time Lin Nan wanted to use the Nine Heavens Yuanling Rain Praying Formation on a large scale, so naturally it would not be enough to draw a formation on the ground like before.
Instead, it is necessary to make use of the mountainous terrain and absorb the power of nature as the formation eye, thereby greatly enhancing the power of the rain praying formation.
Only in this way can the urgent needs of Nanjiao City and even the entire Southern Province be solved.
However, looking up at the top of Minglu Mountain, Lin Nan couldn't help but said to himself:
"Are there... any deer on this mountain?"
After muttering something, he walked towards the mountain along the rugged mountain road.
Although when I came, I didn't bring any lighting equipment with me except my mobile phone.
Fortunately, there were no clouds in the night sky, so the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
Even without a flashlight, it is enough to see the road ahead clearly.
On the way up the mountain, Lin Nan understood the drought of this land more and more clearly.
Because every time he takes a step, the ground beneath his feet will crack and dust will rise.
The dead branches and leaves that are stepped on under the soles of the feet will make a crisp sound, as if they have been roasted without any moisture.
Even the unbroken pines and cypresses have a layer of withered yellow on the tops of their needles.
At three o'clock in the morning, it should have been cool and refreshing.
But in the process of going up the mountain, Lin Nan's forehead still broke out with a thin layer of sweat.
"Kacha..."
Just when Lin Nan was nearly halfway up the mountain, he suddenly heard a sound of leaves breaking.
At first, he thought it was coming from the dead leaves he stepped on.
But the voice didn't seem to be too close to him.
Then, he suddenly stopped again, and the sound still came from the distant forest.
Lin Nan immediately confirmed that there was something in the forest before dawn, in the woods less than a hundred meters away from him.
And judging from the frequent occurrence of this sound.
It seems that something is chasing me all the way!
However, the view is obstructed by the mountains and forests.
Lin Nan could only hear the sound of something stepping on the leaves, but couldn't see anything specific.
Fortunately, I didn't sense the danger, so I didn't pay too much attention to it.
…
All the way to the top of the mountain.
There was a clear night sky above, with not a single dark cloud in sight.
Lin Nan looked forward and saw acres of grain fields and towns.
In this season that should be full of business, there is not much greenery in the vast farmland!
Seeing this scene in front of him, Lin Nan felt a little stunned.
The reports I saw online were still too conservative.
What's more, what many people see is just a few cold numbers in the report.
Only after seeing it with your own eyes can you understand the horror of drought!
Thousands of acres of fertile farmland turned out to be withered and yellow before your eyes!
Lin Nan didn't delay now.
After calming down for a moment, he began to check his surroundings.
And as early as the process of going up the mountain, Lin Nan was constructing the general direction of the formation in his mind.
Now there is detailed planning.
And I want to use the entire Minglu Mountain as the center of the rain praying array, which is naturally different from before.
After carefully confirming the direction and direction of Bagua, Lin Nan took steps again.
First, he lit a dot with cinnabar five meters behind him.
Immediately, he started to draw a formation along the top of Minglu Mountain with a brush dipped in cinnabar.
Lin Nan was careful with each stroke, and the length of each cinnabar stroke was very particular.
With this cinnabar dot as the center, a huge Tai Chi Bagua formation was drawn.
The cinnabar dot is located at the eye of the Yin fish among the two Yin and Yang fishes. It is exactly where the axis of Minglu Mountain is!
Immediately afterwards, Lin Nan widened the basic formation and drew a nine-day Yuanling rain prayer formation that was more than ten meters long on the top of the mountain!
After doing all this, a full two hours have passed.
When the sky turned white, Lin Nan had already changed into clothes.
Immediately he took a deep breath, made some hand gestures, and said in his mouth:
"Taiyuan Haoshi's thunder and fire spirit combines yin and yang to guard the thunder city."
"This is the name of Lei Zu. Anyone who dares to refuse will be punished with a heavy crime."
With a snap, the hand originally held in front of his chest suddenly resembled a sword finger, and he shouted towards the formation:
"Unify the heaven and earth with my order."
"Thirty-six thunder generals will obey orders!"
When Lin Nan finished speaking, the immortal armor on his body made a hunting sound!
At the same time, Lin Nan felt that the magic power in his body was rapidly disappearing!
Most of it was even taken away in one go!
Just when Lin Nan was surprised at the speed at which his mana was passing away.
Immediately afterwards, a blast of strong wind jumped out from the eyes of the Yin Fish!
In just a short moment, Lin Nan's rapid loss of mana was relieved!
When Lin Nan realized this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
And this is exactly the benefit of using the power of nature as the eye of the formation to perform the formation!
Otherwise, Lin Nan's own magic power alone would be enough.
Even if a hundred years of mana were spent, it would be difficult to really improve the drought situation in Southern Province.
Now it seems that the natural power of this mountain has been successfully drawn out by himself, and it has become the eye of the rain praying formation!
‘簌簌猌’
At the same time, a cool breeze blew from the mountain, sweeping away Lin Nan's original fatigue.
Lin Nan raised his eyes to look at the distant sky and saw several smoke-like clouds floating in the clouds, gathering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It's done..."
Lin Nan thought to himself.
At this moment, the crisp sound of dead leaves being trampled to pieces appeared again!
And it’s not difficult to tell from the sound that the distance between the two is very close! Lin Nan turned his head and looked towards where the sound came from.
Under his gaze, he saw a dark brown figure gradually emerging from the woods.
…
"Senior, where are we going?"
In a driving interview car in Nanjiao City, the trainee reporter who met Lin Nan asked.
The cameraman sitting in the driver's seat responded: "Take some footage in the fields."
"Shooting material?" The intern reporter looked excited and asked the photographer: "Then why didn't you bring other reporters with you?"
"Could it be that... I can be on camera?!"
The trainee reporter seemed to be thinking about something and said excitedly.
The photographer, on the other hand, looked indifferent and gave up her dream.
"No, you don't have to show your face. I just shoot the scenes. I just take you around the scene to get familiar with it."
"Also, the news about drought in these fields has been reported so many times."
"The material we shot is probably not going to be used. We'll finish it sooner."
With that said, the car continued to drive towards the fields.
All the way to the farmland, the photographer got out of the car carrying the camera.
I pointed the camera at the withered fields on the roadside and started shooting.
It was the first time that the trainee reporter saw this drought scene with his own eyes, and he couldn't help but look around in a daze.
Just as she was looking around, she noticed several figures in the field, all of whom were dressed as farmers.
So she walked forward, only to hear the old man sighing constantly, looking worried.
"Uncle, why did you come to the fields so early in the morning?"
The old man heard someone asking, and while responding, he raised his head and looked towards the place where the voice came from.
"Yeah, I want to do some digging while the weather is still cooler."
After a closer look, he saw that the person asking the question was an unknown girl.
At the same time, the old man also saw the man holding a camera on the other side.
"Oh, are you reporters?" The old man reacted immediately.
Before the trainee reporter could react, the old man began to complain at her:
"Journalist friends, you don't know, it's really dry this year!"
"The seedlings we planted before have all died due to drought, and they won't survive at all."
"..."
Listening to the old man's complaints, the main trainee reporter also felt sad.
After all, Nanjiao was also her hometown, and she felt bad when she saw the fellow villagers suffering.
However, everything has been tried.
If it doesn't rain, what can we do?
Can we just watch helplessly as the seedlings in the fields gradually dry up and die?
"If we can't sow seeds anymore, I'm afraid we will really starve..."
The old man sighed, but before he finished speaking, a deafening sound suddenly came, causing several people to be stunned and stop talking.
Rumble——
It seemed that the moment the sound sounded, all living creatures in Nanjiao were stunned.
Before the trainee reporter could react, the old man in front of her had already raised his eyes to the sky.
And when those cloudy eyes fixed their gaze on the horizon.
The old man saw with his own eyes that the dark clouds were gathering in his pupils.
Vaguely, there were still a few thunder and lightning exploding in the clouds!
It was so bright that he couldn't open his eyes!
But the old man still stared, his excitement could no longer be concealed, his old face was trembling, and his eyes were vaguely clouded with tears.
"Oh! God bless! God bless!"
At the same moment, the residents in Nanjiao City all heard the dull thunder.
Some people jumped out of bed; some rushed to the window; some stopped.
People all looked up to the sky, excited and excited.
Nanjiao City has been experiencing high temperatures for many days without a drop of rain.
Now I heard a few dull thunders, which inevitably made people ecstatic!
The ongoing drought may also be alleviated by this rain!
For a while, even though it was still early morning.
But as soon as the thunder sounded, many residents in Nanjiao City and even Nan Province looked up to the sky!
Staring at the gathering clouds in the sky, I felt unprecedented excitement in my heart!
The photographer, who originally planned to take a picture of the field and call it a day, was stunned when he heard the thunder.
Then, he immediately ran to the trainee reporter's side and said in surprise:
"Did you hear thunder? Is it going to rain?!"
"Good guy, you've caught up with me now!"
When he confirmed that dark clouds were rapidly gathering in the sky and that the clouds were moving towards them, the photographer seemed to have thought of something and was extremely excited.
Because most of the reports in the news now are about the environmental impact caused by drought weather.
Everyone is eagerly looking forward to the first rain, which will surely grab the headlines.
Now the opportunity is in front of them, and they are in the farmland!
As long as you press the power button right now, you can record the first rain in Nanjiao City!
Time waits for no one, so the photographer had no choice but to focus on this trainee reporter.
However, the trainee reporter seemed to be stunned. She stood there and stared at the dark clouds above, her face not only surprised, but also a little weird.
Isn’t it said that there has been a long-term drought?
Why did it suddenly become cloudy without any warning?
And...
She felt like something flashed in her mind.
It looks like a human figure!
But before she had time to think about it, the photographer reminded:
"Why are you so stunned? Haven't you always wanted to be on camera? This time you are lucky!"
"Hurry up, start shooting!"
