Xiao Yunzhan looked up at the towering rain-praying altar.
"Is everything set up?"
He Dongning nodded repeatedly, "It's set up. I had someone test it, and it's very stable."
Praying for rain is a big deal. Although we have to rush the work overnight, the quality must be guaranteed.
If the 9-meter-high rain-praying altar is not stable, the 9 Taoist priests will be doomed.
Xiao Yunzhan retracted his gaze and turned to look at Lin Yiran.
"It's almost morning after breakfast, so the timing is perfect."
Lin Yiran nodded, "Okay, call all the Taoist priests over, have breakfast together, and then set off."
She had put enough ingredients in the kitchen last night. She had to do something big today, so she had to have a full breakfast.
"The food is already prepared. I will go and inform the elders..."
He Dongning couldn't stop laughing and turned around in a hurry to look for the Taoist priest.
He was shocked when he saw the cook prepared such a large table of dishes in the morning.
He didn't know how long it had been since he had seen those fresh meat and vegetables.
There were three big baskets in the kitchen, full of meat, eggs and vegetables, all very fresh.
The Xiao family is so blessed. With the God King protecting them, what is there to be afraid of? Just charge forward.
.......
After a hearty breakfast, the nine Taoist priests stood in the yard in high spirits and with great pride, waiting for King Yongchang to give their orders.
The three old Taoist priests from Shuitian City stood in the front, and the six behind them were also chosen by them.
A Taoist priest who is too weak is not suitable to go up and pray for rain, as he may easily lose his life.
Prince Yongchang said that Wuyun must be requested.
As soon as the dark clouds appear, they can get off the altar directly and leave the rest to the God King.
He Dongning wiped the corner of his mouth, with a smile on his face, he stood in front of the Taoist priests with his arms folded.
"Your Majesty, everyone is in position and ready to depart!"
Xiao Yunzhan was followed by Lin Yiran and his two sisters-in-law. The four of them stood on the steps at the gate.
"good!"
Xiao Yunzhan glanced around and shouted,
"Set off!"
The loud voice reached the ears of everyone in front of the prefectural government office.
Xiao Yunzhan took the lead and walked towards the rain-praying altar, followed closely by Lin Yiran and the sisters-in-law, and then came He Dongning and nine Taoist priests with immortal appearances.
After raising them for such a period of time, the Taoist priests have begun to have a bit of an immortal air.
The Taoist robes on his body were clean, and the whisk also had a hint of white.
Although they don't have much flesh on their bodies, they still look very graceful when they stride forward with the wind...
All 20,000 Heavenly God Army soldiers were concentrated near the rain-praying altar to maintain order, with a Heavenly God Army soldier guarding the roadside every two meters.
After seeing Xiao Yunzhan and his group coming over, the Heavenly God Army knelt down and saluted naturally.
"May the King of Yongchang be blessed with good health!"
“…”
When the people heard this, they all knelt down and kowtowed, shouting,
"May the King of Yongchang be blessed with good health!"
“.....”
The entire street was densely packed with people kneeling, and the sounds of kowtow and shouting came one after another, which made people's hearts surge with excitement.
Xiao Yunzhan and his group walked to the rain-praying altar amid the people's shouts.
Xiao Yunzhan, who had already had this experience once, looked up at the sky, then swept his gaze over the people kneeling around him, crying for food.
Finally, his gaze fell on the nine Taoist priests who were eager to try.
"Please, nine Taoist priests, step onto the rain-praying altar!"
The three leading Taoist priests nodded and walked towards the rain-praying altar first.
This time the altar for praying for rain was almost ten times higher than the last time, and the Taoist priests walked very carefully.
Each step was firmly placed on the wooden steps, and my heart was beating fast with nervousness, for fear that I would fall accidentally.
Embarrassment is a small matter, but if they delay the God King from sending down the rain of grace, they will have to pay with their heads.
There was a considerable distance between the nine Taoist priests, and each of them would wait until the previous one had climbed seven or eight steps before following.
Lin Yiran kept a close eye on the Taoist priests' feet to prevent anyone from slipping so that she could go up and hold them up in time.
Looking up at the rain-praying altar reaching into the sky, she curled the corners of her lips slightly.
This altar seems a bit high...
Xiao Yunzhan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the rain-praying altar with a frown.
The seemingly stable altar for praying for rain began to shake slightly when the nine Taoist priests climbed up at the same time.
Citizens from all over the city knelt near the central street, and the crowds stretched out over a radius of five kilometers.
Everyone tilted their heads back, pursed their lips, and watched the figures of the Taoist priests getting smaller and smaller...
He Dongning was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe. When the rain-praying altar shook, the sweat on his forehead instantly slid down to his chest.
Every time the Taoist priests climbed a few steps, beads of sweat would slide down his face.
Before the Taoist priests climbed to the top of the rain-praying altar, He Dongning was already soaked all over.
A puddle of water had slowly formed under his kneeling feet...
Don't fall, please don't fall, God bless you, God bless you...
He Dongning prayed silently in his heart.
He didn't let the nine people climb up the altar at the same time, but asked them to go up one by one.
After the nine people came down from the top of the rain-praying altar, they told him that the wind was strong and the altar was shaking a bit.
But it wasn't a big problem. The nine of them strolled around for a while and everything was fine.
Who would have thought... Today, nine Taoist priests actually climbed up one after another. This really scared him to death...
The leading Taoist priest was climbing with fear and trepidation. The higher he climbed, the more violent the shaking seemed to become.
Just when they were only five steps away from reaching the top, the rain-praying altar suddenly shook violently.
The Taoist priest was so frightened that his pupils trembled. He hurriedly grasped the armrests with both hands, and the whisk in his hand almost flew out.
“Huh~~”
After stabilizing his body, the leading Taoist priest took a deep breath, quickly quickened his pace, and rushed to the rain-praying altar.
Standing on the altar that towered into the clouds, the Taoist priest's heart was trembling slightly.
By the time the remaining eight Taoist priests had all climbed onto the rain-praying altar, everyone was soaked.
Half scared, half nervous.
This was the first time they had seen such a high altar for praying for rain. It seemed that if it were a little higher, they would be able to catch the clouds in the sky by just raising their hands.
He Dongning looked up and squinted his eyes as he watched the Taoist priests successfully climb onto the rain-praying altar, and he breathed a sigh of relief...
Fortunately, there was no accident, otherwise...
The people in Pingliang City were so nervous that they didn't dare to breathe.
I was afraid that everyone would blow the rain-praying altar down.
Such a high altar for praying for rain would seem to be shaky if it were disturbed by the slightest disturbance.
Although He Zhifu tried it and it was very stable, everyone still couldn't help but worry.
The people looked up, braving the dazzling sunlight, squinting their eyes and staring at the rain-praying altar that they could hardly see clearly, not wanting to miss this breathtaking moment.
