Chapter 443: Winning People's Hearts and the Key to Creation
The Immortal Jin Ting had nothing else for them to do, so he arranged for them to collect the essence of heavenly thunder.
This further proves Du Heng's idea that he only regarded them as coolies and slaves, not as students.
But Du Heng could not resist, and the Taihu God refused to make the decision for him, so he could only bear it and silently accumulate resentment in his heart.
The mine-collecting officer didn't say anything about collecting mines every day, and Tiechen also found it fun and didn't find it difficult.
Collecting the essence of heavenly thunder is not an easy task. Rubbing yin and yang and bathing in heavenly thunder every day not only sharpens magic power, but also tempers the spirit.
Du Heng could only feel the polishing and tempering, but he could not feel the roundness after polishing or the sharpness after tempering.
Gains and losses all depend on one thought. Jin Ting Daxian saw it, but had no intention of pointing it out.
Besides being calculating, it was also because it was useless. No matter what he said, Du Heng would only feel that he was humiliating and making things difficult for him.
If we consider Du Heng's true intentions and judge others by his own standards, then naturally everyone will be the same as him. Those in power will only humiliate those below them, and those in power will inevitably make things difficult for those who have lost power.
He himself couldn't figure it out. The Great Immortal Jin Ting was not Gong Hu Zheng, and Du Heng was not a fox. How could he have the patience and tolerance to influence him?
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it. As long as you can use it smoothly, you don’t have to figure it out.
Since he is afraid of power and strength, just use power and strength to influence him. The dragon whip is idle anyway, so you can whip him a few more times to feed the evil wind of Taixu.
Although the amount of heavenly thunder essence increased, the thunder collectors became more and more adept at it and could collect enough without having to wait until dusk every day.
The Immortal Jin Ting visited the God of Taihu Lake again. The God of Taihu Lake was still dealing with the aftermath and had to argue with other water gods every day.
Jin Ting Daxian folded his arms and said, "Du Heng used the Taihu Divine Lord to shake the Taihu Lake's water veins last time, damaging the Taihu Lake's spiritual power. Has it recovered now?"
Because the Great Immortal Jin Ting was indeed capable and was able to teach Du Heng some skills, and because they were his sons, the God of Taihu was somewhat closer to the Great Immortal Jin Ting.
Hearing this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "How could it be that easy? I've tried my best to adjust the water veins to compensate for the problem, but water is easily distorted and difficult to reverse. I can only repair it based on what has already changed. Once the water veins move, the spiritual energy will also move. The energy of heaven and earth is in the wind and water. How can the spiritual energy be stabilized so easily without the water veins being stabilized?"
“I’m afraid it will take another three to five years to return to the original state.”
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "You don't have to work so hard. Starting tomorrow, let Du Heng and Tie Chen handle these matters. It just so happens that they have made great progress in their cultivation recently and can do something."
Taihu God asked, "Can they do it?"
The Immortal Jin Ting gave the Taihu God a strange look and said, "If he doesn't know how to do it, he will learn slowly. If he doesn't learn now, when do you expect him to learn?"
The Taihu God could not refuse and asked the Jinting Immortal if he needed any help.
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "I'll lend you the Taihu Divine Lord."
The Taihu God's hand paused, and he wanted to refuse immediately.
But the Immortal Jin Ting waved his hand and said, "If I had any intentions towards the Taihu Divine Lord, I wouldn't return it to you. Since you don't trust me, I'll give it to your son."
The Taihu God laughed and said, "Sir, you misunderstood. I was just afraid that if I gave it to Du Heng, he would use it to contradict you."
Jin Ting Daxian didn't care and said, "Don't you have an adopted son? Just let him take the Taihu Divine Lord."
The God of Taihu looked at the Immortal Jinting carefully, but he didn't see any clues in him. However, he was really hesitant to put the God of Taihu into Tiechen's hands.
The Immortal Jin Ting sneered and said, "You're still hesitating. It shows that an adopted son is indeed no match for a biological son. But Old Dragon King, you're well aware of your son's temper. If no one can persuade or control him, then once you abdicate, he'll be able to sit firmly on the Taihu throne."
"They grew up together, and Tiechen considers you his biological father. Why don't you win over this adopted son and pave the way for your son? Do you expect your son to wake up on his own?"
The Immortal Jin Ting waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can see for yourself. It doesn't matter if you don't have the Taihu Divine Lord. Just give me a rain book first, and I'll send them to make the clouds and rain."
The Immortal Jin Ting left with a scroll of rain. The rain book was the basis for the Taihu God's control of clouds and rain. It was calculated by the Taihu God and could harmonize the spirit of Taihu and the surrounding land to achieve favorable weather, abundant harvests, and the nourishment of the mountains and rivers.
This is the fundamental significance of Taihu Divine Lord, a sacred artifact that stabilizes the lake. Mastering such a sacred artifact doesn't just mean mastering power, but rather the key to nurturing the people and shaping the universe.
After Du Heng disturbed the water veins, the Rain Book was recalculated by the Taihu God.
The Immortal Jin Ting walked away in a carefree manner, as if he truly didn't care about the Taihu Divine Lord. The next day, he asked them to collect the essence of heavenly thunder during the day. At dusk, when they had collected enough, he threw down the Rain Book and said, "This is the Wujun Rain Book. From today on, after you have collected the essence of heavenly thunder, go to Wujun and create wind and rain."
Jin Ting Daxian pointed casually and said, "It's going to rain in Lou County today. Let's set off now."
Theoretically, in a truly well-maintained place, with favorable weather and good harvests, there's no need for the gods to personally intervene in the rain. When the spirit of the mountains and rivers is well nurtured, and yin and yang are in harmony, then naturally, it will rain when it's due, and it will be sunny when it's due.
The inspiration of one place can ensure smooth sailing in that place, and the inspiration of the world can ensure smooth sailing in the world.
But after Du Heng's last sin, he changed the water veins, causing some of the rainwater to need to be handled by the gods themselves.
Some can be handed over to the water gods of tributaries, while others can be done by the Taihu God himself.
The rain in Lou County was the kind of rain that required the intervention of the Taihu Lake water god as recorded in the Book of Rain.
Du Heng was reluctant. It was not like he had never made it rain before. As long as he gave an order, people would come with magical weapons to call the wind and rain. He just had to stand aside and watch, and it would be considered raining.
Tiechen was very interested, as this was exactly what he wanted to do.
The Thunder Officer was bored. He didn't want to be a water god, so how could he want to do such a thing?
But since the Immortal Jin Ting gave him a task that he had to complete, he naturally could not refuse.
Three dragons flew to Lou County, triggered the spiritual inspiration of Taihu Lake, mobilized the wind and clouds of Taihu Lake, and headed towards Lou County.
As dusk approached, the sky in Lou County turned overcast. Farmers who were still working saw the changing weather and hurried home.
The Immortal Jin Ting followed behind and watched the three dragons summon the wind and rain, and call down thunder, and in a moment it began to rain.
Among them, only Du Heng roughly knew what to do, while Cai Leiguan and Tie Chen relied entirely on their inspiration to create the rain.
This was not a big problem, but the three dragons worked together and in a moment all the rain in Lou County fell on the city. The water level in the moat rose so high that it was almost overflowing.
The Immortal Jinting gave a dragon a whip and said, "Today, Lou County has rained one foot and three inches. If it continues, the rain falling on you in the city will be more than one foot and three inches. If you don't observe the moisture and classify the raindrops, do you think that the land in the county should be divided into drought and flood?"
After being hit, the three dragons quickly pushed away the dark clouds that had gathered together, scattered the raindrops in all directions, and stopped the doomsday-like thunder and rainstorm above the county town.
The Immortal Jin Ting shook his head. Having witnessed the Lord of Qiantang perform the art of controlling the clouds and rain, he felt uncomfortable looking at these three dragons.
Not only does he have no experience, but his brain is also not very smart.
To collect thunder, you need to gather clouds and energy. How can you do that when it rains?
The Immortal Jin Ting stood in the clouds with a whip in his hand as a supervisor, silently counting the number of raindrops. When the number was up, the three dragons still hadn't finished their work, so he whipped them again.
The sound of the whip mixed in with the thunder was not abrupt.
