Chapter 342 Zhao Kun finally met the old Taoist priest.
Chapter 342 Zhao Kun finally met the old Taoist priest.
"There's no need to be like this, you two. They're just kids! Just talk. Since they want to see me, please invite them in and have a chat!" Lu Yuan didn't mean to blame them at all.
This made the two of them feel relieved, and then Lou Anming nodded and said: "Do you really want to ask them to come in?"
"Well, just go and call them in, and don't worry about anything else!" Lu Yuan said and waved his whisk again.
Over the past few days, he found that waving the whisk seemed a bit fun.
Seeing Lu Yuan's firm attitude, Lou Anming didn't say much. He just bowed and left.
When Lou Anshan saw Lou Anming leaving, he was still worried and said: "Master, I think we should hide for a while!
I’m afraid they’ll arrest you, and then the villagers will get upset and attack them!”
"It's okay! They are not here to arrest me. Don't worry, just sit down." Lu Yuan replied with a smile.
"Okay then! If they really want to arrest you, I will definitely protect you." After Lou Anshan said this, he tightly gripped the hoe in his hand, as if the hoe gave him great courage.
After a while, Lou Anming finally reached the entrance of the village.
As he walked, he shouted loudly: "Everyone please make way, don't block the road." He struggled to push through the crowd and walked towards Zhao Kun and others.
When Lou Anming finally came in front of Zhao Kun and the others, he panted and said, "Secretary Zhao, the Taoist priest wants you to come over."
However, at this moment, a middle-aged woman suddenly shouted loudly: "Secretary, absolutely not! What if the Taoist priest is captured by them?
I absolutely do not agree to let them go in. If they insist on going in, they should first ask the hoe in my hand whether it agrees or not!" Her voice was full of firmness and determination.
As the woman finished her words, the villagers clenched their farm tools, their eyes revealed their determination to die, and they stared at Zhao Kun and others, as if they were determined to fight them to the end.
Zhao Kun felt helpless when he saw this scene. He took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, please listen to me, you have misunderstood.
We are not here to arrest anyone, but we have something important to discuss with the Taoist priest. Please believe us, we will not harm the Taoist priest."
However, the villagers did not buy Zhao Kun's explanation. They were still very emotional and shouted that they would not let Zhao Kun and his team enter the village.
The scene became more and more tense, and the atmosphere became more and more solemn.
Lou Anming also stood up and said: "Everyone please be quiet, they are not here to arrest anyone.
They wanted the Taoist priest to go to their place and cast a spell to make it rain. Just imagine, if our village is the only one with food in the future.
The crops in their village are completely barren. What do you think they should do then?"
"This……"
At this time they understood the problem. People would do something when they were hungry.
Those present knew it better than anyone else. If Daqing Commune and even the surrounding communes knew.
Their village has good weather and good harvests, so there will definitely be a good harvest.
Then they will have nothing to eat, and starving people will rush towards their village by the tens of thousands.
There are only about a hundred households in their village. By then, I'm afraid nothing will be left.
But if they let them in like this, and the Taoist priest was arrested, wouldn’t there be no rain in their village again?
At this moment, they are very troubled by this issue.
Zhao Kun saw that the villagers were beginning to be persuaded, and quickly continued: "Fellow villagers, don't worry!
We are just here to ask the Taoist priest to cast a spell to bring rain. After all, you are also a member of the Daqing Commune.
If the Taoist priest is really willing to help our Daqing Commune overcome the difficulties, you will also be a member of the Daqing Commune.
You will not be left out when the rain is cast."
Zhao Kun's words made everyone present feel that they made sense.
Seeing this, Lou Anming continued to help speak.
Finally, the villagers stepped back and made way.
Then Lou Anming took Zhao Kun and several people pretending to be wearing red armbands and walked towards the village.
"You guys take off the red sleeve belts!" Zhao Kun said to them.
"Okay, Secretary Zhao." Several people responded quickly, and then took off the red sleeve belt.
……
The villagers saw them take off their red armbands, but they were still worried and followed them.
Soon a group of people headed towards where Lu Yuan lived.
……
Lou Anshan was sitting restlessly in the room, thinking about something, but when he saw Lu Yuan sitting cross-legged on the kang, he didn't dare to speak.
His legs were shaking all the time, showing that he was very panicked.
……
"They are coming, stop shaking your legs there!" Lu Yuan said, opening his eyes.
"Uh, hehe! Well, I'm just a little nervous." Lou Anshan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and responded with an awkward smile.
……
Led by Lou Anming, Zhao Kun and others came to a mud house.
"Secretary Zhao, the Taoist priest is waiting inside." Lou Anming said, pointing at the house.
"Yes, thank you. The situation is urgent now, so I won't be polite with you. Let's go in first." After Zhao Kun said this, he walked in.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhao Kun looked at the furnishings in the room. It was a room with a kang on the left, a table with a broken leg on the right, and a few strange-looking chairs.
He saw Lou Anshan sitting on a chair, then looked at the kang, and saw a white-haired man wearing a green Taoist robe, who looked like an immortal.
She has an extraordinary temperament and her eyes are deep, as if she can see through everything in the world.
……
"Greetings, Taoist Priest!" Zhao Kun quickly bowed and saluted.
Seeing Zhao Kun's performance, several followers also bowed and greeted him.
……
"Haha! Wuliang Tianzun! I believe the purpose of all of you coming to see me is to pray for rain!" Lu Yuan said with a smile.
"Master Taoist Changyi, we are indeed looking for you to pray for rain.
After all, after such a long drought and with the sun scorching hot, the crops in the fields really can’t wait any longer.
I hope the Taoist priest will be merciful and save us common people!" Zhao Kun said this and then he knelt on the ground and begged with tears in his eyes.
Several people who followed him also knelt down and cried out, "Master, please save us, the common people!
Please! We really have no other options! Please have mercy, Taoist Priest!"
……
"Okay, I know everything. You guys get up first!" After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he waved the whisk in his hand, and an invisible force helped them up.
Suddenly, they were all frightened by this force.
After all, everyone says that we should believe in science, but you are just helping people out of thin air.
This worldview collapsed instantly.
……
Zhao Kun was overjoyed and said to Lu Yuan: "Master, do you agree?"
"Well, I agree, but I have some conditions." Lu Yuan said lightly.
"Master, as long as you can make it rain, I will agree to any condition you say." Zhao Kun said impatiently.
"Haha, I have two conditions. The first condition is to prepare a cow, a pig, a sheep, and build a rain-making platform for me.
I wonder if the layman can agree to this?" Lu Yuan said, looking at Zhao Kun.
"Master, there is no problem with this condition, but I don't know where to build the rain-praying platform?" Zhao Kun asked quickly.
