Desire for shadows

"Yes, but you probably can't do it now!" Shang remembered that Duanmu is just a mortal now, it is impossible to command the God of Rain, "Is the drought serious?" Shang didn't know if Duanmu was in a hurry, if he was There are other ways to pray for rain and so on.

"En! It's winter and there's a severe drought. This winter is sad!" Duanmu's expression was a little serious.Duanmuxi knew that Shang had no intention of interfering in political affairs, but simply wanted to share his worries. If someone had asked him that, Duanmuxiu would have already given him a big hat of conspiracy.

"Then I can ask the emperor to help me!" Now, among the four gods, only the emperor has recovered his real body and is still in the mortal world. Duanmulu has no sign of it now, and has returned to the void without any roots.

"Emperor?" Duanmu's eyes widened, not many dared to call himself emperor.As for this "Emperor", Duanmu guessed that it might be the same as the one who called himself the second brother "Wu".

"Yeah, you can call him fourth brother," Shang didn't think that these two people are strangers now. In his view, these four people will always be brothers in the void, and they will not be separated because of time and space. The reason for the severance coefficient.If so, there is only one possibility, and that is the reason for Shang.

"Fourth brother?" Duanmulu now has no memories of the past, and has no impression of these brothers introduced by Shang at all, but it does not hinder Duanmuju, so let's make good use of it now.

"Then please trouble Shang!" Now that the problem has been solved, Duanmuxi is in a particularly good mood, hugging Shang and kissing her.

"Wait for me!" Duanmuxi looked at Shang with red and swollen lips and blurred eyes, after saying these words, Duanmuxi hurried towards the apse.

Shang didn't understand why he looked at Duanmu, what's wrong?Wasn't it good just now?

After a long while, Shang watched Duanmulu come out of the apse after another change of clothes, "Have you gone to take a bath?" Shang didn't understand why Duanmulu was going to take a bath now.

"Uh——" Duanmu was a little embarrassed, but the clothes were dirty, so I changed them. "Duanmu Yu tried to understate and quickly uncovered the past.

Shang seriously and clearly expressed his acceptance of Duanmu's statement. He was fine and nothing happened just now, so how could he be dirty when he was fine?

Looking at Shang's distrustful eyes, Duanmu felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Uh——" Duanmuxi suddenly remembered that Shang had said that he was his father!What should I do now?Well?No, since Shang was his father before, why didn't Shang know about this kind of thing?Where is mother?Shang is your father, what about your mother?Who is the mother?Mother—Duanmulu only now realizes that there will be a woman by Shang's side, even if this woman will be his mother, Duanmulu still finds it very intrusive.

"Shang—" Duanmuxi said in a suppressed voice, "I remember you said you were my father—"

"Yeah——" Shang was very surprised, why Duanmulu had such an expression on his face, today's Duanmulu is too cloudy and uncertain.

"What about my mother?" Duansen stared at Shang closely, as if he would do something weird if Shang's answer didn't satisfy him.

"Mother? Don't you know your mother?" Shang didn't understand. Isn't it the queen mother?Why did Shang come to ask himself?

"How do I know if I haven't seen it!" Duanmu said angrily, thinking that Shang did not say anything on purpose.

"How come I haven't seen it? I have seen it. Didn't I go to pay my respects every day before?" Shang asked Duanmu in a strange way.

"It's not that!" Duanmulu finally understood, "I'm talking about your wife, wife, wife—" As each word was spoken, Duanmulu became louder and louder.

Shang looked at Duanmu Shu who was almost roaring at the end, and was dumbfounded. What does Shu mean?wife?Lady?wife?

"Shang'er doesn't have a wife?" Duanmuxi looked at the bewildered Shang, and made a bold hypothesis in his heart.

"No!" Although Shang didn't understand what the lady Duanmulu was talking about, he probably hadn't heard of it.

"No?" Duanmu wanted to believe it, but Zha Shi had some doubts in his heart: "Then how were we born? It can't be Shang Sheng!"

"Born? How?" Shang was even more confused.Shang has never seen a pregnant woman give birth, nor has he cared about how mortals reproduce. Anyway, in a word, Shang doesn't even know what "birth" means.

"Born——" Duanmu was speechless, "Born is———" Duanmu took his hand to show the scene of a pregnant woman with a big belly, and drew a spherical shape on his stomach, "That's it, and then + just It was born!" Finally, Duanmuxi didn't know what he was talking about.

Shang tilted his head, watching Duanmuyan gesticulating on his own stomach. It has to be said that Duanmuxiu's expressive ability really doesn't look very good now, and Shang and Ben are getting more and more confused the more he looks at it.

"Forget it!" Shang didn't intend to figure it out, and seeing Duanmu's appearance, he couldn't explain it clearly at all, and it wasn't a very important matter, so Shang let Duanmu out of the way.

"By the way, when do you want the rain order?" Shang recalled what the two of them had talked about asking for rain before.

"Well, it's not urgent." Duanmu squinted his eyes and thought about it in his heart, and decided to come to the emperor to pray for rain.Not only can it further win over people's hearts, but it can also add a touch of mystery to the Duanmu Dynasty and make other countries fearful.

Now, when the entire Duanmu Dynasty was under the shadow of severe drought, and even other countries were waiting to see the Duanmu Dynasty's joke, a piece of edict boiled the entire Duanmu Dynasty and shocked all other countries.Ask for rain!Duanmu, the emperor of the Duanmu Dynasty, wanted to pray for rain in person!Although there are priests in all countries, none of them has the ability to call wind and rain.But this time, Duanmulu actually asked for rain in person. If he succeeded, Duanmulu's prestige would naturally increase, but if he failed, then the Duanmulu dynasty would be even worse.Could it be that Duanmuzhen really has any way to guarantee that he will definitely get rain?

The rain-seeking ceremony prepared by Duanmu will be held ten days later, and the eyes of all countries are fixed on the imperial capital of the Duanmu Dynasty.

After Duanmu went back playing with Shang in his hand, a few days later the jade pendant suddenly appeared next to his pillow, and there was a note attached to the jade pendant on how to use it.

The Rain Begging Terrace was built in the open space in the center of the imperial capital. On the high altar, there was no extra decoration, only an incense stand.On that day, the Imperial Forest Army surrounded the entire open space, but many people still came from all over the place, wanting to witness the miracle of Duanmu praying for rain.

The priest designed the degree of complexity for this rain praying, trying to look more mysterious and sacred, while Duanmu, wearing a complicated and heavy sacrificial dress, led all the ministers, from the morning until the afternoon, after reading the sacrificial text again and again , Duanmu Li stepped onto the highest level of the altar, the last step of praying for rain was also the only useful step.The ministers have been kneeling on the ground and praying in a devout attitude. The young ones are fine, but the older ones have been kneeling all the time, and they can't stand it. They bowed their heads under the sun, dripping with sweat It has been flowing down the cheeks, but this is related to the rain begging of the entire Duanmu Dynasty, and there can be no mistakes. If anyone makes this rain begging have the slightest flaw, then what will wait for him can only be Wan People's scolding, I can't lift my head up for several lifetimes.Therefore, they could only grit their teeth and carry it desperately, looking forward to the end of the rain-seeking procedure in the bottom of their hearts.

Duanmuxi was also extremely hot on the altar.Layer after layer of sacrificial clothing wrapped the body airtightly. Even though it was already winter, the whole back was still wet with sweat.

Duanmu took out the jade pendant he was holding tightly, and said silently: In the name of "Emperor", I order you to wait for the rain as soon as possible!Watching the jade pendant in his hand rise slowly, Duanmu's realization also looks at the sky as the jade pendant rises higher and higher.Looking at the jade pendant, Duanmu knew that everything was ready, and he also recited the prayers prepared by the priest loudly and emotionally. This emperor is no longer killing cold-blooded people but loving the people like a son.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and everyone waited with bated breath, looking up at the sky, hoping that in the next second, there would be a cold liquid falling from the sky.
