Chapter 334 Setting up an altar to pray for rain
As night fell, torches were lit in Xing City, and the whole city was brightly lit.

Although it was already night, since Emperor Xin gave the order to distribute food, City Lord Xing did not dare not to do it. The porridge shed was set up, and the soldiers and waiters were busy fetching water, cooking porridge, and distributing the food. Everyone had a bowl of porridge. , to ensure that people can survive tonight.

In the City Lord's Mansion, looking at the two Di Xin and Tao Bao who had come out after freshening up, City Lord Xing was shocked by Tao Bao's beauty, but his heart was beating non-stop.

Di Xin and Tao Bao sat upright, then looked at City Lord Xing who was kneeling at the bottom, examined him for a while, and then asked:
"Why is the food not distributed to the people when it comes?"

"My Majesty, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that there are a few nobles in the city who don't allow it, saying that if all the food is given to the people outside the city, they will not be able to suppress these mobs if they don't have food themselves, so that's why they didn't open the city. Open the door and put out the grain."

When City Lord Xing said this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Di Xin quietly, seeing that there was no sign of anger on his face, he boldly replied:

"Besides, there are countless refugees in Xingcheng. The food sent by His Majesty is simply not enough for so many people. Open the warehouse today. According to the current trend, within two days, the food in the city will not be enough. God does not rain. There is no way to harvest the grains.”

In the final analysis, if God doesn't rain, what else can the common people do?
Di Xin naturally knew this truth. Now that things are like this, the blame lies in the lack of food, and the productivity of his big business is still not enough.

Even if he told Tao Bao that it would rain, he would not be able to survive the three or four months of waiting for new crops to be replanted and the crops to mature.

There are 30 million refugees in Xingcheng in the north. Even if all the southern vassals provide food, none of them will come out. Not only that, but there is still a war, and the army must be supplied with food first. By then, the remaining food may not be enough. How can a dozen people support so many people?

The hall became quiet, Di Xin was looking for a solution, and City Lord Xing was also worried about how to deal with the few people, and neither of them spoke.

Tao Bao pondered for a long time and then suggested: "Your Majesty, no matter what, let's ask for rain first. The first priority is water. The food can last for a few days, but the water can't hold it anymore. I'm afraid the springs in the city won't be able to produce much water." gone."

Di Xin nodded, and said to City Lord Xing: "You order people to set up an altar by the river now, and at tomorrow's hour, you will go up to the stage alone to pray for rain!"

Right now, it can only be the case first, City Lord Xing nodded, bowed and stepped back.

Only Tao Bao and Di Xin were left in the main hall. Di Xin waved back to serve the servants. After they left, he turned to look at Tao Bao, held her hand, and said:
"So, fortunately, I love my concubine."

He had sworn before that he was able to ask for rain because he still had Tao Bao as his trump card. He knew that Tao Bao could carry water, and he was able to speak so confidently because he had the confidence.

Tao Bao shook his head lightly and smiled, "No problem, Your Majesty can just recite prayers devoutly in the morning, leave the rest to me."

Originally, she wanted to use this matter as a raft for Di Xin, but she didn't expect that Di Xin had also thought of it himself. This time, the two of them had the same purpose.

"My beloved concubine is tired and useless, otherwise she wouldn't be like this." Di Xin hugged Tao Bao guiltily, whispered in her ear, and after being intimate for a while, he went back to prepare the prayer.

After resting for one night, the next day, wearing the dress prepared by City Lord Xing, Di Xin walked up to the rain praying platform by the river alone.

Clean your hands, burn incense, pray three times, offer incense, then open the prayer and start reciting it aloud.

At this time, you must be sincere, otherwise praying for rain will not work. As soon as the people below heard that Di Xin began to recite, they knelt down one after another, put their heads on the ground, and prayed sincerely.

The prayer was not long, and it was finished in a quarter of an hour.

Di Xin took the prayer and walked to the candlestick, burned the prayer, and threw the ashes into the river.

If the rain does not come, it will greatly damage Di Xin's reputation as an emperor. If the rain comes immediately after praying, it means that he is favored by God and is a real king.

Success or failure rests entirely on Tao Bao.

On the high mountain beside the river, Tao Bao, dressed in white, stood on the top of the mountain. Seeing that Di Xin had completed the ceremony, he slightly curved his lips and smiled.

He raised his hands, put them together in front of his chest, his ten fingers began to shake quickly, the formulas in his hands changed, a small cloud condensed on his palms, and Tao Bao softly shouted: "Go!"

The white cloud turned into a dark cloud, and quickly flew to the sky, getting bigger and bigger, until it was so big that it covered the entire Xingdi, and then it stopped.

This is Tao Bao's first time casting rain spells after becoming an Earth Immortal. She is familiar with water, but it is still a bit difficult to support such a large-scale rainfall with only the immortal power in her body. into the air, transformed into rainwater.

In this way, not only is there enough water, but she can also save a lot of energy.

Blue light flashed between the fingers, and suddenly the wind blew up, and dark clouds appeared in the sky, covering the heads of everyone. Di Xin on the high platform, his black robe was blown up by the wind. The gods come.

The wind is strong, the rain is coming, the dark clouds are rolling, and the air is humid.

The people were so excited that they looked up at the dark sky and cheered silently in their hearts: The rain is coming, the rain is coming.
They did not disappoint them, and with a "crash", heavy rain poured down.

Everyone was stunned, until they were soaked by the rain, and then they started to run like crazy.

"It's raining, it's raining! Finally there is salvation, there is salvation!"

The people cheered, and they took the equipped containers to catch the water, and drank it while drinking. They were thirsty for so long, and they were finally full today.

Suddenly, amidst the jubilation, there was a burst of crying. They cried for their dead relatives, and rejoiced for the continuation of their lives, crying and laughing, as if their minds were crazy.

Seeing these crazy people, City Lord Xing Huang Feihu and others all looked at Di Xin on the high platform, and suddenly felt that this person was a born king!

The rain kept falling, and after the initial cheers, everyone moved to the city to take shelter from the rain. Huang Feihu also hurriedly took an umbrella and went to take Di Xin back to the city lord's mansion to rest.

The heavy rain continued for a whole day, and it didn't stop until the evening. It didn't stop until the next day when the water level of the river was high.

This night is the happiest night for people. People who have never experienced a severe drought cannot appreciate the happiness of being able to drink as much water as they want.

The next day dawned and the rain stopped. Although the ground was muddy, it couldn't hinder everyone's happy mood.

As soon as the rain stopped, everyone couldn't wait to run to the river, and when they were happy that the river was full of water, a scream caught everyone's attention.

"Look, everyone, there is something in the field!"

Everyone turned their heads to look at the field, only to see that there were clumps of unknown plants growing in the field where there was only loess left.
