The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

Merit is not only coveted by Bai Gui, but also by Taoist Zheng.

It is true that Taoist Zheng himself knows the art of praying for rain, but the difficulty lies in how to be recommended by others and then known by the emperor, so as to complete this meritorious deed.

Bai Gui was a close official of the emperor, so Zheng Taoist took advantage of the situation and found Bai Gui.

Enter the house.

In the living room, the servant served tea.

Bai Gui took a sip of tea and no longer behaved as cautiously as he did at Qingshan Temple. However, he was not arrogant either, but looked elegant and casual. "Master, if you want to win His Majesty's favor by praying for rain, you can, but disciples I believe that Your Majesty is not a gullible person... and this policy requires long-term planning."

Long term plan? !

What does Taoist Zheng mean by smashing the taste?

If you are an official, you should think long term. So it's definitely not what it means on the surface. But it has a deeper meaning.

In a word, the price is not enough!

Although the two of them are now master and apprentice, they only have the name of master and apprentice, and the relationship between master and apprentice... is not necessarily that deep.

Taoist Zheng took a deep look at Bai Gui, "Although Pindao has many wonderful methods, only two methods are the most precious. One method is the Five Thunder Method, which can achieve true feelings, and the other method is the Cold Dragon Method, which can refine dragons." Qi, a cold dragon protects the whole body, it is not hot when exposed to fire, not cold when exposed to ice, and the whole body is harmonious."

"The reason why my master asked you to go to Dongting to become the son-in-law of the Dragon Lord is for the Cold Dragon Technique to collect dragon energy from the dragon's cave... Now that you are an official in the court, you are considered a disciple. How about I teach you the Cold Dragon Technique?"

"As for the Five Thunder Technique, it is only after receiving the true treasure from the master and receiving the blessing of the Three Pure Ones that you can practice it successfully. Even if it is taught to you, you will not be able to practice it."

Taoist Zheng did not get angry and stated his conditions word for word.

With the law, in exchange for a chance to be promoted by Bai Gui.

As for Bai Gui's friendship with Dongting Dragon Girl and the favor he owed him because of him, he has no intention of using it now.

Although you can directly pray for rain and gain an audience with the emperor. But obviously the rain praying spell cannot be used randomly. Once it is used, the gods such as Thunder God and Lightning Mother, Deng Tianjun, Shui Dezhenjun, etc. must be invited, and even the Jade Emperor must be alerted before he can issue a decree to bring rain.

He has some background, but he is not so proud that he can invite the big guys in heaven at will.

"Cold dragon method?"

Bai Gui let out a sigh and glanced at Taoist Zheng.

When he heard this sentence, he knew that it was the same as what he had thought before. Taoist Zheng is really a sheep demon. However, it is not an ordinary sheep demon, but the Sheep Power Immortal from Chechi Kingdom. The Great Immortal Yang Li competed with Sun Wukong in the oil pan. It was because Sun Wukong destroyed the Great Immortal Yang Li's Cold Dragon Technique that the Great Immortal Yang Li died.

"In the land of Middle Earth, there should be many people with great supernatural powers. Master, you know why there are no Taoist priests praying for rain. Praying for rain here is different from that in small remote countries..."

he said.

Although his words were a reminder, he knew in his heart that Taoist Zheng must also know this.

"It is easy for a small country to ask for rain, but the merits gained are not much. However, although it is difficult to find the middle land, it consumes favors and luck, but if you ask for it once, you can save years of hard work..."

Taoist Zheng knew that Bai Gui had already agreed to this, and said with a smile.

In China, humanity is flourishing.

It is much more difficult to pray for rain in China than in other small and remote countries. But the benefits are also visible to the naked eye, that is, there are also a lot of merits gained.

As for other Taoists not asking for it, there is a reason. First, it is much easier for human beings to attain enlightenment than for aliens, and it is also easier for them to accumulate merit. For example, Bai Gui can accumulate merit by submitting memorials, but he cannot do that. He cannot become an official in the court because he is an alien. Both of them, praying for rain is not without cost. It consumes background, luck, longevity, etc., in exchange for merit. The lifespan of aliens is much longer than that of humans, so he dares, but human monks don't dare. There are disadvantages. profit…….

…

The next day.

The saint Bai Gui said that he had a master in Wuwei who had practiced the art of praying for rain, which could bring rain or relieve the drought.

He didn't say enough, he just said maybe.

In addition, he was indeed a Taoist priest. There is no doubt about this and no one will doubt him.

A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor.

Li Shimin nodded in agreement.

Although holding a Dharma conference costs a lot of money, compared with rainwater, which is as expensive as gold, this cost is not worth mentioning at all.

Three days later.

Chang'an Temple of Heaven, the altar has been prepared.

"Your Majesty, look, this poor Taoist will take my token as his sign when he goes to the altar. The wind comes with one token sound, the clouds rise with the second token sound, the thunder and lightning sound with the third token, the rain arrives with the fourth token, and the clouds disperse with the fifth token sound. Rain harvests.”

Taoist Zheng bowed his head to Li Shimin and said with great emotion.

When meeting the emperor at this time, he would not keep his gloomy look.

"Master, please come to the altar. I'll wait and see."

Li Shimin nodded.

Master, refers to the high way.

Daoshi Zheng's self-confidence also gave him a little confidence in this. If he can really ask for rain, it means that he is the real dragon emperor and is protected by the gods.

Since the first year of Zhenguan, droughts and rains have continued for a long time. He himself wondered whether God was punishing him because he usurped power and seized the throne.

After all, according to Dong Zhongshu's divine induction, the emperor's failure to behave will lead to disasters in all directions.

Taoist Zheng stroked his beard and smiled, and auspicious clouds seemed to grow from the soles of his feet, lifting him to the three-foot-high altar.

There are twenty-eight constellation flags on the left and right sides of the altar, and an offering table is placed on the top. On the offering table is a bronze double-eared incense burner, and the body of the tripod is engraved with Bagua patterns.

Sandalwood curls straight into the blue clouds.

There is a gold medal leaning against the stove, with the name of the God of Thunder engraved on it. There are five large vats underneath, all filled with clear water, with willow branches floating on the water. There is an iron plate tied to the willow branch. Written on the plate is the list of thunder envoys from the five directions.

"Follow me to the Phoenix Tower for a visit."

Li Shimin said to the accompanying ministers and concubines.

The Feng Tower is a high platform in the palace.

A group of people went up to Feng Tower.

I saw Taoist Zheng standing on the altar, holding a yellow-tasseled sword. He was chanting something. The sword was instantly stained with the yellow paper talisman on the altar table, and he burned the talisman on the candlestick.

At the same time, he took out a document from his arms and lit it on fire.

In a moment.

Just listen to the sound of thunder in the blue sky.

Taoist Zheng held the token again and burned the talisman.

Dark clouds suddenly formed.

After a few token blows.

Raindrops the size of soybean grains gradually fell from the clouds.

After a while.

It rained heavily.

The heavy rain continued for dozens of miles.

"Bai Aiqing, you have great achievements!"

"I didn't expect my master to have such magical power to bring heavy rain."

Li Shimin said with great joy.

"Your Majesty, although this rainwater is expensive, it is not as valuable as the memorial written in Bai Shiyi. According to my opinion, this rainwater can only last for two and a half quarters..."

"It can only temporarily postpone the disaster."

On the Qin Tiantai, a Taoist priest with a feather crown came forward and said to Li Shimin.

You can only pray once for rain. No matter how much, Taoist Zheng's face is not that great. Li Shimin didn't know this, but Yuan Tiangang knew it.

So compared to the rain at this time, Bai Gui's method is more precious.

Furthermore, the rain only lasted for tens of miles. Although it was large, it could not cover the entire Guanzhong, and it could not cover most counties.
