The two of them washed up and dressed neatly before arriving at the reception hall.
County Magistrate Gao was a little surprised to see the two of them appear together.
He stood up and kowtowed." I'm Gao Tianyao. Greetings, Your Highness."
Feng Wuchen stretched out his hand to support her." There's no need to be so polite, my lord.”
Gao Tianyao stood up.
He cupped his hands and said to Feng Wuchen," Your Highness, I'm here to see Miss Song-"
Feng Wuchen nodded." Sir, please do as you please."”
Gao Tianyao looked at Qingli expectantly." Miss Song, about what you promised yesterday, I wonder…"
Qingli asked him," Has the altar for praying for rain been built?”
He nodded repeatedly." It was already built at noon, but the bailiffs reported that Miss Song went out to sea with His Highness Taisun yesterday and only returned this morning. I thought that you would definitely need to rest and conserve your strength, so I came to invite you here.”
Qingli smiled and said," Since everything is ready except for the east wind, I'll follow you."”
She took the lead, and Gao Tianyao was about to follow her when he saw Feng Wuchen following behind her. He tactfully retracted his foot.
He thought strangely, didn't the bailiffs say that Miss Song had severely damaged the Crown Princess Consort's reputation at the port today and forcefully snatched His Highness back to the Song Manor? His Royal Highness should hate Miss Song very much! But why did it seem like His Royal Highness didn't hate Miss Song at all?
Gao Tianyao muttered to himself. After watching the two of them take a few steps, he followed them silently.
At the entrance of the Song Residence.
Gao Tianyao saw that the servants of the Song Residence had only prepared a carriage for Qingli, so he eagerly went forward to invite His Highness to share a carriage with him.
After all, Qingli was an unmarried daughter, and His Royal Highness would definitely be embarrassed to share a car with her.
He walked over with a smile. Before he could say anything, he saw their cold great-grandson lift his robe and get into Qingli's carriage without hesitation.
His Highness Taisun was very embarrassed!
Gao Tianyao had a complicated look in his eyes.
Didn't you say that Your Highness was snatched back by Miss Song!
You should at least pretend to be a little unwilling!
The three of them rode in two carriages and soon arrived in front of the county government.
The altar that Gao Tianyao had mentioned was built on the wide field in front of the county office.
The ten-foot-tall altar was built by the bailiffs and a dozen old carpenters with wooden planks and wooden wedging. They had been busy since yesterday and only finished at noon.
Not only was it firm, but it was also beautiful.
Qingli glanced at the altar and thought," It's really exquisite. If Gao Tianyao had enough time, he would have asked the bailiffs to carefully wax the wooden board!"
"Miss Song, if there's anything that doesn't suit your taste or violates any taboos, just say it. I'll immediately get someone to change it!”
Gao Tianyao tried to please him.
Qingli looked at him in amusement." Sir Gao, you don't have to be so careful. I'm a straightforward person and I'm easy to talk to. You don't have to worry about offending me."”
Gao Tianyao nodded with a smile.
However, she thought in her heart,'How can I talk to someone like you?
Just by looking at how you destroyed your sister's reputation and stabbed the rapist like that, I knew that you were definitely not an easy person to serve!
After hearing that you even dared to throw the former crown prince consort into the sky today, I don't dare to neglect you!
I really can't afford to offend you!
Qingli glanced at him, who was full of complaints, then pulled Feng Wuchen's arm and went up the altar with him.
She asked him in a low voice," How do the charlatans here pray for rain?”I'm sorry.ξà
“……”
Feng Wuchen looked at her speechlessly." Why do you have to be like a fraud?" You're a person with real ability. Why are you learning their fancy things?”
Qingli raised her eyebrows." That's how it feels like! Don't the people here like to pursue a sense of ritual? You see, praying to God and Buddha only requires sincerity, but the people here have to fast, bathe, burn incense, and pray. Isn't this just a show?”
Feng Wuchen was speechless.
When he was in the capital, he had visited many times in disguise and had also seen how the folk priests prayed for rain to trick the villagers. Hence, he told Qingli about it one by one.
"Prepare a bouquet of incense, a bowl of sake, a stack of yellow talisman papers, and a peach wood sword.”
"After the huckster ascends the altar, he will burn incense and then jump around with the peach wood sword in his hand. He will chant something. Of course, most hucksters will say that they are dancing the ancient Great Wizard Dance and that they are communicating with the gods.”
" After the dance, stab the prepared yellow talisman paper with a peach wood sword and dance it in the air. Then, light the yellow talisman paper and scatter the prepared sake into the sky. Say that the gods have already enjoyed it and that it will rain in less than three days.”
"Then he can let me collect the copper coins and leave.”
Qingli could not help but laugh as she listened to the 'gaudy' process of praying for rain.
What kind of rain-praying operation was this? It was simply a mess!
Fortunately, there were no gods in this world. If there really were gods, they would definitely send a bolt of lightning down to kill that Daoist!
Initially, she wanted to learn from the process of praying for rain, but now it seemed that it was better to forget it. She could not do such a thing in public.
"But speaking of the Great Wizard Dance…I do know a little.”
She rubbed her chin, planning to perform a Grand Wizard dance that had been passed down from the ancient human race on the altar later. It was a sacrificial dance of the Wizard Tribe that could really draw the power of heaven and earth.
The reason why the Great Wizard Dance of this world was lost was that dancing this dance required the infusion of spiritual energy. The people of this world could not even absorb spiritual energy, so naturally, they could not dance that dance.
When Feng Wuchen heard that she was going to dance, he looked at her strangely.
He wanted to see if her dance was better than Fraud Tian's.
When everything was ready, the empty space below the altar was also filled with the people who had rushed over after hearing the news.
It was not an exaggeration to say that there was a sea of people.
Even Feng Jinrong brought Gu Songhe and Gu Zixuan to squeeze into the crowd to watch.
Qingli gestured for Feng Wuchen to leave. Then, under the gazes of everyone, who were either doubtful or expectant, she walked to the incense table.
She didn't ask for the peach wood sword that Gao Tianyao had prepared. She raised her right hand.
As she moved, everyone saw a red object gradually materialize in her palm.
When the Dragon Blood Sword appeared, the citizens were stunned!
This was much more powerful than the charlatans they had seen in the past!
A sword appeared out of thin air!
Just this move alone was very powerful!
The people who had scoffed at Qingli's prayer for rain began to focus on Qingli. They were already looking forward to it!
Qingli raised her hand, and her slender fingers slowly stroked the sword.
Suddenly, she raised her hand that was holding the sword up high. The tip of the Dragon Blood Sword was pointed at the sky, emitting a clear hum!
While everyone was still in shock, Qingli began to dance on the altar with her sword!
She was wearing a green chiffon dress. Her clothes fluttered in the wind, making her look like a fairy.
