The wind howled, like an endless sea tide sweeping across the land.
It made the bamboo forest crack and rustle, and the world was filled with dust.
The sound of leaves rustling came, and the originally hot weather suddenly became comfortable. The coolness brought by the gale swept across the land, making the entire Nan Province hazy.
Countless dark clouds gathered above the sky, and even the entire ocean was stirred.
If you were to watch from the sky, you would find that the cumulus clouds above Nan Province were frantically gathering together, squeezing and rolling against each other, eventually forming large patches of black clouds.
Even people thousands of miles away were shocked, staring in astonishment at this fantastic scene.
The dark clouds expanded rapidly, scattering towards Nan Province and even the surrounding areas.
Accompanied by the sweeping gale, anyone could tell that it was going to rain heavily.
The people of Nan Province were overjoyed, they had been waiting for this rain for too long. If it didn't rain again, the entire Nan Province would probably lose power and water.
Just as the people of Nan Province were cheering for the upcoming heavy rain, Jiang Wen in front of the altar remained motionless. He held the Xuanwu Sword, pointing it towards the sky. He shouted loudly, "Let there be thunder!", and then heard the thunder rumble above the sky, with countless white lights flashing.
“Kabeng——!!”
“Boom boom boom——!”
The violent thunder startled the villagers' ears and brought everyone back from their daze. They looked at Jiang Wen on the altar, and the next moment they all knelt on the ground and prayed.
“An expert, a true expert!”
“Could it be a deity? How can he summon thunder and wind at will!”
“May the immortal bless my family with peace and safety.”
In short, the villagers showed a myriad of expressions, but Jiang Wen, standing on the altar, didn't care.
In fact, he could summon wind and rain without the altar, but after all, he was a Taoist priest, so he had to put on an act. If he didn't set up an altar and perform a ritual, others would think he was a fake Taoist trying to scam them.
A rustling sound kept ringing out, falling from the sky.
“Boom——!!”
The thunder roared, and the heavy rain poured down. It was like a string of broken beads, falling on the ground and splashing up dust.
Pitter-patter, the rain fell.
The villagers stared wide-eyed at the rain, all with smiles on their faces.
“It's raining! It's raining!”
“It's finally raining! We couldn't have lived without rain!”
Cheering for the arrival of the rain, everyone thanked Jiang Wen in the heavy rain.
Jiang Wen put away the Xuanwu Sword and took down the things on the table. Even though the rain was pouring down like beads, he was still unhurried.
The rain didn't wet his clothes, but scattered in all directions only half an inch away from him.
Looking at the departing villagers, he felt extremely comfortable in his heart.
Just now, when he performed the ritual to pray for rain, his merit actually increased by more than 30,000. This meant that his rain had saved many people, and he had done a great good deed. Back in the house, the village chief came to thank him. The old farmer came with his wife, also to express his gratitude to Jiang Wen.
Originally, the old farmer just wanted to try his luck, but he didn't expect to really encounter an expert. Now he was extremely excited, afraid that he might offend the expert somewhere.
“It will be difficult for this rain to stop for a while, Taoist priest, why not stay for a few more days.” The village chief tried hard to persuade him to stay, and Jiang Wen couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.
After everyone left, he put away his Taoist robe and looked at Shen Yueshu.
“How was my ritual just now?”
“Master is really amazing, it's the first time I've seen such a shocking scene. Who would have thought that people could actually control weather changes and summon wind and rain?” Shen Yueshu was still immersed in the ritual process just now, it was also the first time she had witnessed Jiang Wen's abilities.
In the past, she only saw a part of it, but this time she understood what a true expert was.
Jiang Wen couldn't help laughing when he heard her words, pointing at her and said: “Summoning wind and rain is just a small trick, if you can cultivate well. It's not impossible for you to summon wind and rain like me.”
“Me, can I really do it?” Shen Yueshu jumped up from the sofa when she heard Jiang Wen's words. She really liked the feeling of controlling the wind and clouds, and it would be worth dying for even if she could experience it once.
She originally thought that she would never be able to learn this skill, who would have thought that Jiang Wen would actually say that she could do it as long as she cultivated well.
Now Shen Yueshu was energized, and her motivation for cultivation was maxed out.
Seeing her like she had been injected with chicken blood, Jiang Wen also nodded in satisfaction. Shen Yueshu had been with him for a long time, and in terms of seniority, she could be considered a veteran. He taught her wholeheartedly, but unfortunately, this girl fished for three days and basked in the sun for two days, and her cultivation progress was extremely slow. If it weren't for eating a lot of pills from him, Shen Yueshu probably wouldn't even enter the acquired realm.
“When you reach the Lamp Lighting realm, I will teach you thunder magic and fire magic. Let you be able to control lightning and play with fire to your heart's content.” Jiang Wen showed Shen Yueshu what thunder magic and fire magic were, and she screamed excitedly.
Not to mention men can't resist this kind of temptation, even women can't stand it.
After drawing a cake for Shen Yueshu, Jiang Wen looked at the heavy rain outside. He seemed to sense something, and turned to look at Bai Jing.
“Bai Jing, come out with me.”
Shen Yueshu, who was sitting aside, saw that the two were going out, and also curiously came forward to ask: “What are you two going to do?”
“This servant will go out with the master.” Bai Jing said with a gentle smile.
“Can I come along?” Shen Yueshu came to her senses and jumped around wanting to go out. Unfortunately, Jiang Wen stopped her in the end, telling her to stay in the house honestly.
“This time there is some trouble, it's inconvenient to bring you. You just stay here, nothing will happen.” Jiang Wen looked at Shen Yueshu and smiled, and pointed to the cat demon aside. “You help us take care of this cat demon, and we will ask it questions when we come back.”
“Is that so? Then okay.” Shen Yueshu replied with some regret. Although she couldn't follow Jiang Wen out to see the world, she was still very obedient.
Since Jiang Wen said there was danger, the place to go must not be a place she could go. Instead of causing trouble, it's better to stay at home honestly.
Seeing Shen Yueshu being honest, Jiang Wen nodded. He summoned an item from the storage bag and handed it to Shen Yueshu.
“If you encounter trouble, use this, it can keep you safe.”
After settling Shen Yueshu, Jiang Wen and Bai Jing walked into the rain. The two walked slowly among them, but they didn't get wet at all.
They walked all the way towards the mountains outside the town, and in just a few breaths, the two arrived in the mountains.
This mountain range is not very high, but it stretches and undulates and has a very large area.
This is indispensable in places like Nan Province, after all, Nan Province also has many mountains.
Entering the mountain, you can constantly see various pits. Looking closely, these pits seem to have been smashed open by something. The vegetation above is not very lush, and the time will not be long.
Jiang Wen stood in front of these pits, and his intuition felt somewhat familiar. He seemed to have seen the things that smashed these pits somewhere, but he didn't know where.
After entering the mountain, they came to a huge pit at the foot of a cliff. Jiang Wen looked at the pit and understood why he felt familiar.
“So it's that place.”
