Li Daoyi, who comes from a Taoist background, goes into the mountains to look for the green ox he has raised since childhood and accidentally transmigrates to the world of The Smiling, Proud Wander...
The news that Di Xin was going to personally pray for rain quickly spread throughout Chaoge, and the people were deeply moved. Since Di Xin ascended the throne, everyone's life had been getting better day by day, and now the king was personally praying for rain for everyone.
The altar for praying for rain was set up outside the city so that the people within the Chaoge area could watch it. Many people spontaneously went to help, all helping the court build the altar in order to show their sincerity. In just one day, an altar for praying for rain was completed with everyone's joint efforts.
"Huh? Why is there an altar? What's going on here?"
At this moment, two figures remained hidden in mid-air.
"Let me calculate it."
“A drought? So that’s why the King asked for rain,” one of them said.
“Fellow Daoist Tongtian, since it’s a drought, why don’t you just cast the spell yourself, so they won’t have to pray for rain?”
These two were Tongtian and Zhenyuanzi, who had just come from Biyou Palace.
"It's nothing." Tongtian smiled.
Then he reached out and waved his hand toward the sky.
"......"
Swing again...
"......"
Tongtian was somewhat embarrassed and didn't react at all.
Just as he was about to further enhance his magical power, he was stopped by Zhen Yuanzi.
“Something’s not right, fellow Daoist. The moisture within a thousand miles has disappeared. Someone is interfering and sucking all the moisture away,” Zhen Yuanzi said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Tongtian sensed it as well, and sure enough, the surrounding water vapor had disappeared. To cast water-based spells, there must be water vapor; without it, even a saint cannot conjure water out of thin air.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment, let me calculate again," Tongtian said, then closed his eyes and his fingers moved continuously.
"The secrets of heaven have been concealed; a sage has made his move. It must be Yuanshi." Tongtian opened his eyes and said coldly.
"Why?" Zhen Yuanzi asked.
“Yuanshi possesses a magical treasure called the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover. This treasure is extremely yang and hot, containing the Three True Fires, which can summon nine fire dragons. But in addition to this, this treasure has another function: it can absorb water vapor at will,” Tongtian explained.
"I see. Then why did Yuanshi do this? Wasn't he afraid of incurring karmic consequences?"
Tongtian pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered what Li Daoyi had said before: those people wanted to use the great calamity to change dynasties and find a compliant representative. So they had a reason to do so: weaken the Shang Dynasty.
“Compared to this cause and effect, he would rather see the Shang Dynasty decline,” Tongtian said.
“Shameless, fellow Daoist. Why not just bring water from a thousand miles away?” Zhen Yuanzi said. With their cultivation levels, bringing water from a place with water a thousand miles away would not be difficult.
"Don't rush. Since the King of Men has requested rain, let's wait and see."
"Ah, right. If we can't get rain when the time comes, then it will be perfectly legitimate for us to take action. I doubt Yuanshi would dare to do anything about it," Zhen Yuanzi nodded.
Then the two figures gradually disappeared.
On the day of the rain-seeking ceremony, the area around the altar outside the city was densely packed with people, stretching as far as the eye could see. Everyone within the Chaoge region had come, and thousands of Heavenly Dragon soldiers separated the altar from the crowd.
At noon, when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, people persevere despite the unbearable heat, as if only in this way can they move the heavens.
"Waaah..."
As the horns sounded, a group of people walked out of the city, led by Emperor Xin, followed by civil and military officials.
"Wow, so many people!" Nezha sat on Li Jing's shoulders, looking around in surprise. It was the first time he had ever seen so many people.
"Master, look! So many, so many people!"
“I saw it, I saw it,” Shen Gongbao laughed.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
The surrounding people knelt down to pay their respects.
"No need for formalities," Yin Shou called out.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
At this moment, Yin Shou looked around and saw no sign of Mengmeng. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the child was probably just talking.
As the crowd arrived at the foot of the altar, the officials stopped in their tracks, while Yin Shou, carrying a yellow brocade in both hands, slowly walked up to the altar, drawing all eyes to him.
Zhutian Tower, Tongtian and Zhenyuanzi were also watching this scene.
"This kid is not bad. Not only has his strength increased, but his luck has also become even stronger," Zhen Yuanzi said, looking at Yin Shou.
"Yes, it's a pity. No matter how strong his luck is, it's all in vain. He can't possibly pray for rain," Tongtian said.
Soon, Yin Shou ascended the altar, where sacrificial animals, incense, and candles were already laid out.
"call..."
Yin Shou took a deep breath, trying to relax, and then picked up the rain-praying prayer he had prepared.
"roar..."
Just as he was about to read the eulogy, a tiger's roar rang out.
"Look, there's a huge tiger in the sky."
"It's a white tiger."
There looks like a child up there.
"I'm here..." came the cute voice.
The enormous figure of the white tiger descended from the sky, and the officials around the altar scattered in all directions.
"Hehe, I'm not late!" Mengmeng jumped down from the white tiger's head with a grin, holding a little black dog in her arms.
"Go play somewhere else." Mengmeng threw Xiao Hei on the ground and then ran up to the altar.
"Why did Mengmeng go up there?" Zhen Yuanzi asked, puzzled.
"Let's see," Tongtian said, frowning.
Everyone initially looked at the large white tiger with fear, but their gazes quickly fell on the altar. As for that little girl, probably everyone in the entire Chaoge knew her; she was a well-known little foodie.
"Hmph, did you think I wasn't coming?" Mengmeng walked to Yin Shou's side, looked at the sacrificial text in his hand, and asked with dissatisfaction.
"I'm just helping you prepare," Yin Shou said with a dry laugh as he handed the eulogy to Mengmeng.
"What?" Mengmeng asked.
“Praying for rain? You’re not asking me to pray for rain, are you? This is a prayer; just read it aloud,” Yin Shou said.
"Tch, I don't want this stuff." Mengmeng said, waving her hand, and the sacrificial text in Yin Shou's hand turned into ashes.
“…” Yin Shou was completely stunned.
"Make way."
Yin Shou numbly took a few steps back.
"Hey!"
Mengmeng jumped directly onto the offering table and shouted at the sky.
Everyone around stared dumbfounded at the altar. Now they all understood that the little guy was trying to pray for rain on behalf of the king.
"Isn't this reckless..."
Someone said with a wry smile.
"Hey...hey...hey..."
Mengmeng cheered for a long time, then turned to Yin Shou somewhat shyly.
"Um, how do you pray for rain?" the little guy asked earnestly, blinking his big eyes.
Yin Shou felt a wave of dizziness and almost fainted.
“My little ancestor, you wouldn’t do that, why did you ruin my memorial text?” Yin Shou said with a praising expression.
Now, Mengmeng was unhappy. She glared at Yin Shou, then turned away and put her little hand to her mouth.
"I wish it would rain soon..."
The voice was loud and clear, carrying far beyond the heavens.
In the Heavenly Court, Haotian was enjoying the dance of the fairies when suddenly the entire Lingxiao Palace began to shake. Immediately afterwards, a child's voice rang out; it was Mengmeng's shout from just now.
"What's going on?" Haotian was furious.
The celestial officials were also shocked, exchanging glances, completely unaware of what had happened.
"snort..."
The Jade Emperor snorted coldly and waved his hand, and a huge mirror appeared in the hall.
The mirror emitted a white light, and then an image appeared in the mirror, showing Mengmeng on the altar.
"Ee-yah? What are you looking at?" Suddenly, the little girl in the mirror glared at the viewer, and with a wave of her hand, the mirror shattered.
"What?" Haotian suddenly stood up, his face filled with shock and disbelief.
"That...was that Haotian just now?"
In the Zhutian Tower, Zhen Yuanzi and Tongtian also sensed Haotian's aura and saw Mengmeng mutter something to the sky before Haotian's aura disappeared.
"Why isn't it raining yet?" Mengmeng turned to look at Yin Shou.
Yin Shou helplessly shrugged.
"Who's in charge of the rain?" Mengmeng asked.
"The control over clouds and rain in this world is naturally overseen by the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas," Yin Shou said.
"The Four Seas Dragon Clan? I've got it." Mengmeng's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
She started rummaging through her treasure bag.
"Found it."
The little guy said happily. Yin Shou looked over and saw that Mengmeng was holding a thin golden rope in her hand.
"What are you doing?" Yin Shou asked, puzzled. Why are you using a rope to pray for rain?
"Just you wait."
After Mengmeng finished speaking, she reached out and threw the rope in her hand into the air.
"call out..."
A piercing whistling sound rang out, and the rope in Mengmeng's hand flew away at an imperceptible speed. One end of the rope was tightly held by the little girl, while the other end stretched out infinitely, disappearing from sight in an instant.
Everyone stared in shock at the scene, not understanding what the little guy was doing.
"What a wonderful treasure..." Tongtian couldn't help but exclaim.
Then the scene fell silent as everyone awaited what would happen next.
"Hmm, I'm a little hungry." Mengmeng sat down and grabbed a leg of lamb from the offering table to eat.
"..." Yin Shou was at a loss for words, he was helpless with this little guy.
In no time, only a pile of bones remained on the offering table. Mengmeng had eaten all the offerings, and the little guy wiped his greasy mouth with a hint of relish.
"That's too little. Prepare more next time," Mengmeng said, looking at Yin Shou with dissatisfaction.
"Okay, okay, I'll prepare more for you next time. Um, what were you doing just now?" Yin Shou asked.
"Pray for rain! Don't worry, it'll rain soon," Mengmeng said.
"Is it raining?"
Yin Shou was momentarily confused and stared blankly at Mengmeng.
"Boom, boom..."
Just then, a thunderous roar came from afar.
"Oh, here it comes."
Mengmeng stood up happily and pulled back with her little hands holding the rope.
"Roar...roar..."
A series of roars came from the horizon.
The white tiger and the little black tiger below also stood up, growling softly as if their natural enemy had appeared.
Soon, the rope in Mengmeng's hand emitted a golden light, which spread to the horizon. At this moment, people also saw one end of the golden rope in the sky, where several huge figures were flying towards them. The roar just now came from those huge figures.
"Damn it..." Yin Shou couldn't help but curse as he looked at the several enormous creatures.
"My God, that's a dragon."
"A dragon...it's actually a dragon."
"They really are dragons, and they're huge, there are four of them."
Everyone stared at the sky in shock.
"Wow, Boss is amazing!" Nezha was even more excited, looking at the cute figure on the altar with admiration.
"She...she...she actually captured the Four Dragon Kings of the Seas." Zhen Yuanzi stared at the sky in disbelief.
"Just like her brother, she's unpredictable," Tongtian said with a wry smile.
