The blazing sun!
Ever since July, the scorching sun had been hanging in the sky, emitting its light and heat at all times.
The ground was covered in cracks. It had been a long time since rain had fallen. There were very few pedestrians on the streets. Occasionally, passers-by would pass by, but they were also sweating profusely and looked tired.
This year's summer was unexpectedly hot.
In other words, since May and June, there had been no rain this year.
Such a drought was a rare and terrible thing for the Han country.
In the current world, there were seven great countries, and Han Country was undoubtedly the weakest country among them.
Weakness meant that their troops and rations were not as strong as other countries.
If this drought continued, it meant that this year's autumn harvest might not be able to harvest anything.
In Xinzheng City.
The King of Han, who was in the palace, also realized the impact of this drought. He actively sent people to provide disaster relief. Whether it was digging wells, diverting water, or other means, they had to save the food until the autumn harvest.
However, these methods had little effect.
With no other choice, the King of Han could only seek help from those necromancers.
The King of Han believed in the Dao of ghosts and gods. He was not like some people who would keep a respectful distance from alchemists. He still had some trust in them. He believed that with a generous reward, there would definitely be brave men who would be able to invite the strange people hidden among the people.
With ten thousand taels of gold as a reward, he issued a reward. Then, he pasted the edict on the city wall and waited for the capable person to come and receive the edict to pray for rain!
wealth and silk move the hearts of the people.
After seeing the reward of 10,000 taels of gold, many people were moved. They stepped forward and took down the edict. Unfortunately, before they could receive the reward, they were beheaded by General Ji Wuye, who was under the command of King Han, because they could not pray for rain.
It was also after their deaths that Ji Wuye hung their heads on the city wall, alongside the imperial edict, to prevent more people from wasting time.
It was the height of summer, and the scorching sun was burning the earth. The head hung on the city wall, and in a few days, it had already started to stink and rot. Flies were buzzing around it.
A foul stench filled the air.
In the past, some commoners liked to stay nearby when they had nothing to do, watching for any hotheads to receive the imperial edict.
But now, because of this stinky head, they all avoided it.
On this day, two bored soldiers stood guard outside the city gate, sniffing the stench coming from nearby. In their hearts, they cursed the general who had come up with the idea of hanging his head here.
Even if you want to warn others.
Then you should at least marinate this head.
Do you know how smelly it is?
"Hmm?"
At this moment, a soldier suddenly noticed something flying past his eyes. He subconsciously rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was seeing things.
When he focused his gaze again, he discovered that a roll of cloth was dancing in the air.
This cloth was very familiar.
It was the bounty edict posted on the city wall.
Then, the edict flew straight into the hands of a young Daoist in a green Daoist robe.
……
General Manor.
In the hall, a muscular man sat on the main seat. Beside him were two beautiful women. One of them was feeding him fruits, and the other was opening her jade-like hands to catch the fruit pit he spat out.
Ji Wuye looked at the green-robed man who was brought into the hall by the soldiers without any restraint. He said coldly," You were the one who accepted the bounty?”
"You should know what will happen if you can't pray for rain for the king!”
"I know!"
The green-robed man spoke calmly.
When Ji Wuye heard this, he couldn't help but look surprised.
Earlier on, there was no lack of people who accepted the bounty. However, after he said this, those people either ignored him or had the intention to retreat. However, they had already accepted the bounty. How could they retreat so easily?
This bounty was not a joke. It was an edict from the king.
Therefore, when he was unable to pray for rain, he decisively gave those guys death.
The man in front of him was calm.
However, it could not change the outcome of death.
Ji Wuye did not believe in necromancers. Although he looked reckless, he was actually very meticulous. Otherwise, he would not have become a powerful general.
Summoning the wind and rain was something that was impossible with human strength.
"Since you already know, then you can go down and wait. Tomorrow, I will bring you into the palace to see the king!”
Although a few swindlers had already been executed earlier.
But after all, it involved a reward of ten thousand taels of gold, and the drought was not over yet. Now that someone had accepted the reward, it was reasonable to bring him to the palace to see the king.
Ji Wuye looked at the young man who was about to be taken to rest by his servants. Suddenly, he thought of another question and asked the handsome man,""By the way, what's your name?"
"Su Xuan!"
……
The guest rooms in Ji Wuye's mansion were decorated elegantly.
At the very least, in Su Xuan's opinion, it was much more luxurious than the rooms in many restaurants in Xin Zheng.
However, it was not strange. After all, it was Ji Wuye.
A person who built a towering Sparrow Pavilion in the city for pleasure was so domineering that he asked the King of Han for a princess. The King of Han had no choice but to marry the princess to him.
"Speaking of which, the princess was supposed to marry his son!”
"Because of some accident, in order to fulfill his last wish, he decided to marry the princess?”
Thinking of the plot in the original novel, Su Xuan could not help but curse in his heart.
Su Xuan was a transmigrator.
It had been several years since he had transmigrated to this world. At first, he thought that this was the end of the Warring States Period and was thinking about how to survive in the chaotic times. An accident had allowed him to learn part of the world's structure.
In the world, there were seven powerful countries and hundreds of schools of thought arguing with each other. These were nothing.
However, if the names of the Network Organization and the Daliang Armor Sect were mixed in, it would seem that the end of the Warring States Period was not so serious.
It was also at that time that Su Xuan found out that he had transmigrated into the world of an anime.
Because of his understanding of the plot, he was extremely envious of the spells of the Yin-Yang School and the Daoist School. Therefore, after understanding where he was, he wanted to go to the Yin-Yang School or the Daoist School to become his disciple.
However, before he could take any action, his cheat awakened first.
A total of 108 stars appeared in his mind.
Among them, thirty-six of them were big, which corresponded to the number of heavenly stars, and seventy-two of them were small, which corresponded to the technique of earth fiend!
By chance, he lit up the first star.
Then, he obtained a spell called "Guidance"!
Daoyin can greatly benefit people and prolong their lives. It can harmonize qi and blood, make blood circulation smooth, eliminate all diseases, and practice qi exhalation.
In other words, this was the art of immortal cultivation.
Hence, Su Xuan decisively gave up on the idea of becoming a disciple of the Daoists and the Yinyang School. After all, even if he wanted to join them, they might not be willing to accept him.
He directly imitated Daoist Master Wen Shi in the deep mountains and began his path of cultivation.
