Chapter 110 The Dragon King Sends Down the Rain
According to legend, the Dragon King is the god who controls the rivers and seas, controls the clouds and rains, and eliminates disasters.
Although many villagers in Wangjia Village were illiterate, everyone knew the dragon legend that had been passed down for years. However, no one had imagined that the Dragon King was black, not golden.
The sky, which should have been night, was now as bright as day. Looking up, one could see a black dragon covered with inky scales hovering above everyone's heads. It was so close that it was frightening, as if the dragon's roar was buzzing in one's ears, and as if one could see the colorful rainbow light shining on the scales with the naked eye.
The overwhelming sense of oppression made the people all bow their heads to the ground, trembling all over as they kowtowed to the Dragon King in the sky, while their minds couldn't help but describe the scene they had just seen.
The sky was as white as painting paper, and a massive black dragon swirled and danced within it. Its sharp claws were fierce and unpredictable, and its tumbling body was as vast as a snake, winding like a mountain range. And then there was the enormous black dragon's head, its slender whiskers dancing freely, and its inky horns, which made it difficult to look directly at them. Especially when one accidentally caught a glimpse of the dragon's enormous pupils, one realized that this black dragon actually possessed golden pupils, as mysterious as gold.
At this time, bursts of muffled thunder were heard in the sky. Someone looked up cautiously and saw that the dragon's claws were actually surrounded by blue lightning. This made the person immediately show a fanatical expression, and then he knocked his head hard on the ground and shouted.
"Please, Dragon King, send down the rain!!!"
The man's voice awakened the villagers who were kneeling on the ground from their fear. They lowered their heads and banged them on the ground, shouting loudly.
"Please, Dragon King, send down the rain!!!"
"Please, Dragon King, send down the rain!!!"
They were afraid that the Dragon King in the sky could not hear their voices, and each of them was hysterical. On the originally sultry summer night, a gust of wind blew along with the roars of dragons overhead.
Everyone was lying on the ground enthusiastically, and then they heard a crackling sound.
The cold rain hit their tattered clothes as they knelt and begged, and the rain slapped their exposed arms and hands. The cold touch made everyone tremble all over, unable to believe it.
"It's raining! The Dragon King has appeared! It's raining!!!"
“It’s raining!!!”
The sound of rain falling was accompanied by joy. People couldn't help but stretch out their hands to catch the cold rain. Some people tilted their heads back and opened their mouths, letting the raindrops falling from the sky fall into their mouths and eyes.
Their torches on the ground were instantly extinguished by the rain. It should have been a dark night, but at this moment one could see everyone's fanatical expressions. People cheered and stretched out their hands, still kneeling on the ground, each with their heads tilted back, trying to lick the rain with their tongues, and unwilling to close their eyes even though their eyes were filled with rain.
Perhaps at this moment it was impossible to tell whether it was rain or tears. Mixed in with the sound of rain was the sound of people crying. First, one person cried, and then the tears quickly spread to everyone's faces.
This is a cry of joy, this is a cry of life.
Wang Huaer, wearing an ill-fitting wedding dress, knelt there, letting the rain wet her hair and cheeks. She tried hard to open her eyes and look at the sky, but the rain was so heavy that her vision became blurred. She could hardly see the Dragon King hovering in the sky.
The dragon's claws were accompanied by lightning and thunder, and the pouring rain irrigated the entire land of Wangjia Village, instantly moistening the originally dry land. On such a night, the people of Wangjia Village had no time to see the seedlings they had planted that were about to die from the sun regain their vitality. They could only kneel there, crying and repeatedly kowtow to thank the Dragon King.
"Thank you, Dragon King, for bringing rain! You saved the lives of everyone in Wangjia Village! Today, I, Wang Shan, hereby promise that after the rain, I will build a temple in your honor and offer incense to you!!!"
Wang Shan, the village chief of Wangjia Village, felt that he had received mercy from God, and the Dragon King appeared to help him.
After a brief moment of excitement and crying, all the people in Wangjia Village did the same and kowtowed continuously in the rain.
"Thank you, Dragon King! I will definitely burn incense for you when I get back!!!"
"Thank you, Dragon King, for sending down the rain. I will definitely offer you an offering!"
"Thank you, Dragon King..."
The villagers of Wangjia Village were incredibly pious. Their faith began to surge wildly, accompanied by the voices of the crowd. Qin Lang also soared through the sky in the form of a dragon for the first time. This god-level suit truly lived up to its name. It was truly amazing! The black dragon's effect allowed Qin Lang to experience a unique sense of freedom in the sky.
It was flying over Wangjia Village, but its size had actually shrunk a lot. As a god-level suit, the size of the black dragon would continue to expand with the faith value of the believers. Now it could only be within the scope of Wangjia Village, but once it continued to be worshipped by humans, its size would almost be able to cover the sky and the sun.
Under the rain, Qin Lang, soaring in the sky, looked at the humans below like ants, but he could clearly hear the voice of each of them. The next moment, he heard the village chief say.
"To express my gratitude to the Dragon King for sending down the rain, I would like to offer my granddaughter as a sacrifice to him. Please accept it."
Wait? Why are you giving away your granddaughter again? The Dragon King doesn't need a wife, thank you.
"I wish to serve the Dragon King from now on as a slave and maid for the rest of my life."
Wang Huaer immediately understood what her grandfather meant. She was originally going to be the bride given to the River God, but the River God did not show up, but the Dragon King appeared instead. So her sacrifice would naturally be given to the Dragon King.
How could it be possible that if the gods in heaven gave benefits to the people, the people would not offer sacrifices to them?
So the next moment, Wang Huaer stood up and, in front of the villagers of Wangjia Village, jumped directly into the river that was flooded by the rain.
She has made up her mind to serve the Dragon King for the rest of her life, even if it means death.
As Wang Huaer jumped into the river, the people in Wangjia Village were excited and afraid. They were afraid that the Dragon King would not accept the sacrifice and would regret calling for rain. Then, if there was a drought in the future, they would not be able to find the Dragon King.
However, Qin Lang was hovering in the sky, but he was helpless against the persistence of these villagers. He could only turn into a golden light and rush down from the sky. Then everyone in Wangjia Village saw the golden light falling from the sky surrounding Wang Huaer. Even Wang Huaer did not really fall into the surging river. The golden light dissipated, and a red and black figure stood there, holding a golden spear in his hand and pointing it at Wang Huaer's waist, stopping her.
The villagers, whose eyes were dazzled by the golden light, were blinded for a moment, and then in the rain that was like a pearl curtain and jade screen, they saw the human form of the Dragon King.
The rain in the sky automatically formed an empty space, and Lord Dragon King was floating in the sky with a surging river under his feet. He was a young god, wearing a black armor that flashed with cold light and was full of oppression, while on both sides of the shoulder armor were rolling lightning lying on his shoulders, and the carved dragon patterns could be vaguely seen.
Lord Dragon King has different black hair from everyone else. He has red hair like a raging fire, which makes his handsome white jade face even more unbearable to look at, especially his golden eyes which are completely different from those of humans. His upright pupils show the ferocity and murderous intent of a wild beast, which makes everyone who sees him tremble all over and become speechless in an instant.
"I am Canglang. Today, I have borrowed the body of a good friend to help me make the clouds and rain. I am grateful for the kindness of the villagers of Wangjia Village and the friend who saved me from disaster on the roadside. I have come to help."
The Lord Dragon King floating on the river clearly did not open his mouth, but all the villagers in Wangjia Village heard the Lord Dragon King's voice. Then they saw a big hand made of rainwater growing out of the river, sweeping Wang Huaer down from the golden spear, and then to the shore.
This scene was shocking to everyone in Wangjia Village. But to hear that the gods had come for their friend, and that their friend seemed to have suffered a tribulation in the mortal world and had been saved by the people of Wangjia Village?
Everyone knelt on the ground and dared not say a word. Qin Lang still stood above the river and could hear the system's reminder sound.
[Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 500 Faith Points.]
[Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for obtaining one thousand faith points.]
[Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for completing the novice mission. A sweet rain will fall on Wangjia Village. Special rewards include a bottle of unlimited sweet rain water and a bottle of unlimited fasting pills.]
Qin Lang was very satisfied when he heard about the generous rewards from the system. Then his eyes fell on Wang Huaer who was kneeling on the ground again, and he spoke again.
"This woman is my sacrifice. I order you to stay in the human world and accompany my good friend, the Hundred Changes Star Lord. When your hundred years are up, you will have your own destiny."
Wang Huaer was a woman who had been a sacrifice. If she was sent back by the gods, her life would definitely not be easy in the future. Qin Lang saw that the girl had clear eyes, knew etiquette and understood righteousness, so he naturally wanted to keep her by his side.
In this way, there will be followers of the Dragon King preaching in the human world in the future, and Wang Huaer, who is offered as a sacrifice, is the spokesperson of the Dragon King walking on the human world.
"Yes, Wang Huaer thanks Lord Dragon King for sending down the rain. I will definitely stay by Lord Dragon King's side for a hundred years."
When Wang Shan, the village chief of Wangjia Village, saw this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his granddaughter would not die. He was even more glad that his granddaughter was favored by the Dragon King. But where was the Dragon King's good friend?
He wanted to ask, but didn't know where to start. The rain from the sky continued to surge towards everyone, accompanied by a golden light. Everyone saw the Lord Dragon King flying into the sky, riding on the clouds. The originally bright sky suddenly became dark, with only the sound of rain hitting the ground and everyone.
In the silence, the village chief of Wangjia Village shouted loudly.
"Farewell Dragon King!!!"
The others also quickly followed the village chief and kowtowed again towards the place where the Dragon King left, shouting.
"Farewell Dragon King!!!"
When everything became silent, the village chief Wang Shan stood up from the ground and spoke to the villagers who were still kneeling on the ground.
"Everyone, get up and go home quickly to get some rainwater. This is a gift from the Dragon King. With the Dragon King's rain, I believe our village will have a good harvest this year. And the Dragon King's friends..."
The villagers also slowly stood up, but their eyes began to shift continuously until everyone's eyes fell on Wang Goudan, the head of the Wang family.
No strangers have come to Wangjia Village for a long time. The only one was the strange man who was rescued by Wang Goudan and his son on the mountain two days ago. The man seemed to be wearing brocade. The villagers originally speculated whether he was a nobleman, but they didn't expect that the other party had another more noble identity.
This noble person is a deity who came down to earth to experience tribulations! He is a deity who can even summon the Dragon King!!!
