Chapter 5: Pray for no rain in Haizhou for three years
"Haha, good! OK! You are so ill-behaved. If you die, even the entire family will be expelled." Xiao Hao's brother-in-law Li Yulong laughed proudly, and the scars on his face seemed to have come alive for a moment.
At this moment, the Xiao family and the Li family were smiling. Then everyone turned to look at Xiao Hao. This was really a prodigy! Look, a small idea made things turn completely. The prime ministers below one person were killed at home and their clan members were expelled.
However, neither Xiao Hao nor the Xiao family nor the Li family would know how much change their actions would bring to the Dali Wangting; after all, it was not the Zhongming Ding Food Family, nor the nobles, and they did not understand politics. In other words, if the interests are at the forefront, who can take care of others!
Not long afterwards, Kong Xiang relied on his powerful power to defeat the king, and he was the censor and prime minister alone, with power over the court, but that's the case.
The entire Dali Wangting had too many families with great and small interests affected, and now they began to slander the Lu family. The Dali Wangting is just a small and medium-sized country that is now Dongsheng Shenzhou, and the Lu family here is even a side branch among the side branch. Therefore, once the power is lost, and with the Confucianism leading the front, everyone will be happy to take the blame.
There is a saying that the wall fell and everyone pushed it; in just a few days, the Lu family became rats that everyone called for and beat; and because they wanted to leave, of course they had to sell their property; but in this case, the price was suppressed to death, and the things that used to be worth hundreds of taels of silver are now three or five taels of taels of gold. In fact, in the face of such interests, some of the former "comrades-in-arms" turned around and pushed it.
"It's too much!" A white-haired old man from the Lu family roared to the sky.
"Second!" An old man with the same white hair came over. Although he was old, his waist was firm. "Hey, when we do this, we must be prepared for failure."
"Brother, I know. But when I see the tribe members suffering, I feel uncomfortable! I feel uncomfortable!
No, I feel uncomfortable if these villains just let them go!
Brother, I have no hope in my life. I will give up this remaining life and leave a profound lesson for the Dali Wangting!" As I said, the old man from the second tribe of the Lu family became firm, even with hideousness and madness.
"Second, you!" The elder clan's face was full of shock.
"Brother, do you think we, who are old and old, can do something for the family? Our entire family will have to leave Dali Wangting in another month. It would be a bit difficult to bring us old people with us. Instead of becoming a burden to our family, we might as well stay here.
Moreover, our efforts will inevitably allow the people who leave their tribe to receive the help and attention of the family above!"
Stay here... Stay here... Stay here...
These four words kept circling in the mind of the elders for a while, and finally, it seemed like the sound of bronze bells echoing in the soul.
"Okay! After this life, let others know that the Lu family is not something they can do at will!" The elder clan agreed. Another reason was that they gave their lives to defend the honor of the Lu family, so that their branch family would also receive the care of the previous family; because, this is the family of the warriors! The elders of the other clan have contributed to the prosperity, reputation and so on of the Lu family.
Youdao is that old children and children sometimes make a decision, they are very firm or twisted; they directly use their clan elders to notify the family, and then the eight clan elders gather together and everyone discusses the process.
The elder of the elder clan: "Now that the family has left, the luck is local and we cannot take it away. Instead of doing so, it is better to exhaust it. I decided to use these luck to add a lot to the honor of the Lu family!"
The elder of the second clan: "Brother, we currently have three fortunes, which happen to be the fortune of a prominent family in a small country, or equivalent to the fortune of a county for three years."
"Three years of luck in a county?" The elders of the three tribes were silent for a while, and suddenly spoke, and the cold light flashed in their eyes: "How about we use these luck to pray for the three-year famine in Haizhou?"
"Lao Lao, why is this suggestion and idea?" The elder clan asked suddenly. Obviously, choosing a target is a very difficult thing.
"Brother, first of all, we have little luck and need to cause enough influence, so the Kong family cannot influence it; and the upper class of our two tribes has not broken up. What remains are some small officials and families, which are not worth our efforts. Therefore, I think Haizhou is the most suitable and has enough influence.
First of all, they are direct related parties, secondly, Haizhou has weak power, and its fortune is scattered because there is no suppression of nobles and other people! Thirdly, Haizhou happens to be a county!
In the end, Haizhou is weak and has no great power, so they have no ability to retaliate against us!”
"Okay!" Many people agreed for a while.
The eight old men then entered the ancestral temple together, and began to prepare. There were three one-foot-sized round-bellied bronze tripods on the ground; two of them had three coiled snake carvings on them, and one had only two snake patterns. This was the Qiyun tripod, one of the foundations of a family. The stronger the luck, the more stable the family; conversely, the more stable the family, the more it could gather more luck.
As long as there is enough luck to gather, under simple guidance, luck will spontaneously gather into the appearance of a bronze tripod. This does not require artificial interference.
The smallest and most basic bronze tripod of fortune is one foot high, and according to the fortune high ground, there are 1-3 snake pattern reliefs on it.
After the three snake patterns are full, the luck that gathers again will appear a new bronze tripod.
After the small bronze tripods gather in 9, they will automatically aggregate into a two-foot-sized bronze tripod with snake-patterned carvings on them, but they will be more vivid. It is simply upgraded by three or nine.
After 9 bronze tripods gathered, they became a three-foot one. The three-foot one was still a snake relief, but it would be more vivid or lifelike.
After three feet of the 3 feet are enough, they gather into a four-foot bronze tripod.
The relief on the four-foot bronze tripod is a dragon.
According to the above upgrade rules, when you reach the level 7 bronze tripod, it is seven feet in size, and the relief of the bronze tripod at this time is a dragon.
It is said that in the Xia Qi period, there were three dragons and nine tripods, and the deciduous tributaries were defeated by the Shenzhou in the east. But then the world was divided into pieces. Now, the largest Wangting in the Central Plains region only had three dragons and nine tripods! It is still "sayed".
Now, in the temple of the Lu family branch of the Dali Wangting, there are two one-foot-sized three-snake tripods, and one one-foot-sized two-snake tripods. Such fortunes can be almost comparable to the three-year fortune of Haizhou - Haizhou is ultimately poor, at least in front of the world. And the fortunes of these three-salts are accumulated by the Lu family here for decades.
After packing up, everyone sat cross-legged here and waited calmly; at dawn...
"Burn incense and prepare prayer books."
In an instant, some children from the family came forward and lit the incense of chopsticks, one foot long; and some yellow silk was taken out from under the offering table, with some seal script written on it; if you could understand it, you would find that it was some sacrifices to pray to the heaven and earth, pray to the gods, pray to ancestors, etc.
There are also fruits, grains, and vegetarian food, which are also placed in front of the Bronze Cauldron of Qiyun. For primary sacrifices, only vegetarian food can be used.
After everything is ready, the child stands solemnly next to him and is ready to help at any time.
Then the elder clan elder knelt down and lit the prayer silk book. The seven people behind him lined up in line behind the elder clan elder.
With the fireworks scattered, the elders of the elders slowly spoke: "Now the King of Dali is humiliated and cannot calm down. I pray to our ancestors and allow us to sacrifice our lives and honor and disgrace to burn the fortune of the three tripods.
I pray to the God of Rain in the Sky, and pray to cut off the rainwater in Haizhou 1,000 miles away from the east, and the mouth of the Youlong River in three years.
Please forgive me.”
"Please beg me." The seven old men behind shouted together.
Huh... Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and in an instant, the fragrance, cauldron, prayer silk book burned violently, and the offerings were shattered at the first time. Under the wind, it turned into a small tornado; the tornado was the dragon of the wind; at this moment, the bronze cauldron of luck was completely shattered, and the simple snake relief on it turned into a shadow and rushed into the tornado; for a moment, the tornado seemed to turn into a green dragon, but it was very hazy, half hanging in the air.
Then the Qing Jiao opened his mouth and roared, and a sound that shocked the soul covered the eight old men. Then the Qing Jiao suddenly rushed towards the eight people.
Bang... It seemed as if mud and sand were scattered, and the eight old men who were just flesh and blood turned into powder and left with the wind. The green dragon suddenly passed through the ancestral temple, rushed into the sky, and disappeared between the blue sky and white clouds. During the whole process, the ancestral temple was not damaged, as if it was a shadow just now.
After that, the weather was calm and nothing seemed to happen here.
However, within the Dali Wangting, the elders of the Kong family branch of the Dali Wangting all felt the fluctuations of their fortune! Although they barely achieved the fortune of a county for three years, these fortunes were also the sum accumulated by the Lu family over the past few decades and cannot be ignored.
"What happened!" Of course others didn't know.
But Haizhou people are exceptional! At this moment, as long as people on the ground in Haizhou, everyone will have an inexplicable enlightenment in their minds: there will be no rain in the eastern part of Haizhou in the next two years!
Why the East? Why two years?
There is a Goddess Peak in the western part of Haizhou - this is not a decoration, this is one point; and the other point is that Haizhou is actually much richer than other places, with the decline of the country and the fortunes of Haizhou, so that the fortunes of Haizhou are inexplicably rich. But no rain for two years is enough to shock everyone!
"What's going on!" Xiao Hao jumped up from the bed.
Just now, I was sleeping very hard, but for no reason, this kind of enlightenment actually appeared in my mind! This is wonderful and strange!
No one said anything to himself, nor dreamed of anything. It was just a feeling, an inexplicable and strange feeling! I entered my mind inexplicably, and then I knew inexplicably that there would be no rain in eastern Haizhou in the next two years!
In the eastern part of Haizhou, there will be no rain in the next two years, and today will start!
This strange thing made Xiao Hao unable to sleep anymore. Although it was the darkest time of dawn, there was still a trace of light in the sky, and Xiao Hao also groped to put on his clothes and walked out. As the soul of another world, Xiao Hao had not yet developed the kind of corrupt life of eating and opening his mouth and reaching out. Since he could take care of himself at the age of 3, he tried his best to exercise and insist on living independently.
When I went out, I found that the maid Xianger, some guards, etc. were talking about it; everyone was shocked to find that everyone felt this way.
