During the drought for three months, the young emperor personally led people to Xishan to pray for rain.
After the complicated rain prayer ceremony, the young emperor stepped into the back hall, followed by the palace servants trembling with fear.
The young emperor had fought his way out of the battlefield. He was ruthless and stood by his words. No one dared to offend him easily.
"You want me to come in person. I'm here. When will it rain?" Shang Junlin frowned unhappily.
"Your Majesty, the ceremony is over. You just need to wait." The State Preceptor, who had a sage-like demeanor and white hair and beard, stroked his long beard and said.
"It's ridiculous to say that the drought is caused by my violence!"
Originally, the State Preceptor could arrange the rain prayer ceremony. However, recently, there were rumors that the drought was a punishment for some of the new emperor's actions. In order to prevent the rumors from getting worse, Shang Junlin came to Xishan at the request of the State Preceptor.
The sun was scorching and the sky was clear. Even if the rain prayer ceremony ended smoothly, there was no sign of rain. Shang Junlin looked at the sky with deep eyes.
He knew that the rumors had developed like this because of man-made traces. Since he ascended the throne, none of his good brothers had been peaceful. He had found out that this matter was related to them. He came to Xishan, on the one hand, to reduce the vigilance of those people. On the other hand, he really wanted rain to fall from the heavens.
The drought for several months had seriously affected the people's livelihood. In the long run, there would be trouble.
The young emperor was looking forward to rain.
After nightfall, Shang Junlin dismissed the palace servants and walked alone in the night.
The dark night sky was dotted with stars. The stars were shining. It was a beautiful picture, but for people who wanted rain, they only felt disappointed.
There was no wind, no clouds, and no rain.
Shang Junlin looked back with slight disappointment. It seemed that it would not rain tonight.
The man in the gorgeous imperial robe turned around and walked back. After a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
In front of him stood a young man in white. Shang Junlin knew very well that there was no one here when he came.
This courtyard was the temporary residence of the Emperor. It was heavily guarded. Without his permission, no one was allowed to enter. It was impossible for someone to enter without being noticed.
What was more …
Shang Junlin frowned.
This young man was very strange.
His body was surrounded by a clear radiance, and his ankle-length hair was whiter than snow. The small part of his face that was exposed was porcelain white, without a single blemish. If such a person had appeared in Mount Xi, it was impossible for Shang Junlin not to have received any news.
Hearing the commotion, the young man turned his head around.
Shang Junlin stood rooted to the ground. He could not bring himself to ask the question that was on the tip of his tongue.
The young man had a beautiful appearance. Under the moonlight, his exquisite facial features were so perfect that he didn't seem like a real person. His long hair that was like snow added a touch of mystery to him, making him look like an immortal who was untainted by the mortal world.
"I heard someone praying for rain. Is it here?"
The young man's voice had a strange rhythm, but Shang Junlin didn't have time to think about it, because the meaning of the young man's words was worth pondering.
What did he mean by "heard someone praying for rain"?
He asked tentatively, "Are you here for the rain?"
The young man nodded.
Shen Yu was a god that was born from heaven and earth. He had been sleeping for many years and was awakened by a rain praying ceremony in the mortal world. He woke up from his sleep and was about to find a place that needed rain when he met the emperor of the mortal world.
If Shen Yu had met the State Preceptor who was in awe of the gods, he would have been treated like a god. However, he met Shang Junlin, the emperor of the mortal world.
The emperor didn't intend to treat the immortal with respect. He just wanted to drag the immortal into the mortal world and dye him with his own colors.
The hands behind his back moved slightly, and the Hidden Dragon Guards that were hiding in the dark quietly retreated. In an instant, the young emperor's mind was full of thoughts. No matter whether the immortal was real or not, he had to keep him.
Shen Yu was invited into the emperor's courtyard.
The best tea before the rain was served. Shang Junlin personally poured a cup for the immortal sitting opposite him.
Since the immortal was born, he had never entered the mortal world. Out of curiosity about the things in the mortal world, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
He frowned slightly.
"You don't like it?" Shang Junlin, who had been observing him, asked.
"Is the water you drink so bitter?" Shen Yu didn't like bitter water. He put the jade teacup aside and refused to touch it again.
"I didn't think it through." Shang Junlin didn't expect the immortal to be afraid of bitter water. He laughed and ordered the servants to bring in all kinds of snacks.
All kinds of snacks were placed on exquisite plates. Some were in the shape of small animals, and some were in the shape of flowers. Shen Yu's eyes were immediately attracted.
"These …"
"They are all prepared for you. Try them."
Shen Yu reached out and wanted to take one of the peach blossom shaped snacks. He thought of something and put down his hand halfway, "You are praying for rain. Where is the drought?"
He hadn't forgotten the reason why he woke up. He couldn't take the tributes of the mortals as he wished.
Shang Junlin mentioned a few places. Without exception, they were all places with severe drought, including the capital. He didn't know how many places the immortal in front of him could rain, so he only mentioned the most severe places.
"If it's difficult, don't force yourself. The drought has been going on for a long time. There's no need to rush." Shang Junlin couldn't help but remind him.
He didn't know why, but he didn't want the immortal in front of him to get hurt because of the rain.
"I know." Shen Yu nodded.
Because of the long sleep, his power wasn't at its peak. However, the rain he made in these places wasn't affected.
"Do you need an altar?"
"No, it'll be done soon." Shen Yu wanted to end this quickly.
Everything that happened next was like a magnificent dream to Shang Junlin.
Silver light that was brighter than the moonlight poured out from the young man's hand and spread around. The young man was in the air. His white clothes fluttered without wind, as if they were one with the silver light.
The wind started to blow.
Dark clouds gathered and blocked the moon and the galaxy. The young man became the only light between heaven and earth.
No one could refuse such a beautiful scene.
No one except Shang Junlin knew about such a strange phenomenon. Even though it was the first time Shen Yu did such a thing, he knew that some things shouldn't be revealed to mortals.
After making sure that every place was taken care of, Shen Yu slowly stopped. At the same time, the land that had been dry for a long time welcomed the first heavy rain.
"It's raining?!"
Countless people ran out of their houses and cheered.
"It's really raining!"
"His Majesty just went to the mountains to pray for rain today, and it's raining tonight. God is really blessing Dahuan!"
The people were cheering. They knelt down to thank God and the Emperor who brought the rain for Dahuan.
The power of faith that mortals couldn't see gathered towards the two people in the courtyard. Seeing the power of faith enter Shang Junlin's body, Shen Yu was surprised.
However, after thinking about it, Shang Junlin was the Emperor of the human world. It was not difficult to understand why he was different from others. Shen Yu didn't think too much about it. After fulfilling the wishes of these people, Shen Yu didn't have any psychological burden to bear when he accepted the tribute.
After happily eating a plate of snacks, Shen Yu was a little unsatisfied.
Shang Junlin saw it and wanted to order another plate for him. After thinking about it, he changed his mind and said, "It's late now. If there's anything you want to eat, you can ask the servants to make it tomorrow."
Shen Yu nodded reservedly. He was an immortal. He shouldn't be greedy for the taste of mortals.
"I should leave." Since the rain had fallen and the tributes had been accepted, Shen Yu felt that there was no need to stay.
"Don't you want the snacks tomorrow?" Shang Junlin suppressed his irritation because the young man wanted to leave and said softly, "Besides the snacks, there are other kinds of food …"
After listing several delicacies, he successfully saw hesitation on the young man's face.
Shang Junlin continued, "In fact, the drought in Daheng is not limited to the previous ones. There are other places that need your help."
Shen Yu decided to help him to the end.
Shang Junlin lived in this courtyard alone. There were no other bedrooms. Shang Junlin arranged for the young man to stay in his room and stayed in the study for the night.
After settling the young man, Shang Junlin called for the servants and asked them if they had seen anything unusual just now. The servants didn't know what was going on, but they still answered Shang Junlin's question honestly.
After asking several people, Shang Junlin confirmed that he was the only one who saw the scene just now. Realizing this, Shang Junlin's heart skipped a beat. The feeling of being treated differently was too good. He couldn't help but want more.
Before dawn, good news of rain came from all over the country. Shang Junlin stood in the study and listened to the reports from his subordinates. The places where the rain fell were mentioned by him to the white-haired young man.
"Your Majesty, the State Preceptor asks for an audience."
Shang Junlin was about to see Shen Yu. He ordered people to guard around the bedroom. Without his permission, no one was allowed to go in and disturb the people inside. If the people inside came out, they must report to him immediately.
"Come in."
Not long after, the State Preceptor came in with excitement, "Your Majesty, great news. I divined yesterday that Daheng will survive this disaster safely."
"I know." Shang Junlin thought of the immortal who was placed in his room, and there was a faint smile in his eyes.
"There has been heavy rain in the places where the drought is the most serious. After this, the rumors among the people will be dispelled." The State Preceptor talked a lot. He was too excited. After praying for rain yesterday, he was worried and divined, but the divination was not good. After nightfall, he was worried and divined again. The divination changed from the past to great luck.
The State Preceptor came to discuss with Shang Junlin the follow-up matters of praying for rain. At the beginning, they made two plans. Whether the praying for rain was successful or not, there would be corresponding countermeasures.
"The rain prayer ceremony is over. Your Majesty can go back to the palace first. I am here …"
"No," Shang Junlin refused without thinking, "There are so many places in Daheng that are affected by the disaster. Now only some places have been alleviated. How can we give up halfway?"
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"The rain prayer ceremony will continue. You go to check the ancient books and do everything according to the highest specifications."
"Your Majesty."
The State Preceptor did not understand why His Majesty, who had always been dismissive of the gods, suddenly cared about this matter. However, since His Majesty was willing to pray for rain sincerely, he was naturally happy to see it happen.
"Does the State Preceptor think that there are really immortals in this world?"
"According to the records, there should be, but immortals do not easily enter the world. It is difficult to see them under normal circumstances."
The two talked for a long time. Because Shang Junlin suddenly became interested in the gods, the State Preceptor talked for a long time.
It was not until there was movement outside that he stopped.
"What's the matter?"
Eunuch Meng went out and came back with a young man behind him.
White clothes, white hair, and an extraordinary temperament. Just by standing there, he could attract everyone's attention.
The State Preceptor stood up abruptly and looked at the young man in white in disbelief.
