74|It’s hard to find a rainmaker to lend me a rain hat.

The teenager was completely frozen.

Fengxin and Muqi hated to give birth to seven hands and eight feet to block him, and easily dragged Xie Ren down, but Xie Ren waved them away and said: ”I know! I know it’s against the rules! I know it’s against the rules, so just pretend you didn’t hear it. As long as you don’t say anything, no one will know. Just this once. No one is allowed to say anything, do you hear me?”

Muoi looked as if she had been forced to eat a sock, shook her head, and muttered, “How could someone like you …… justifiably say something like ‘live for me’, really… …”

Xie Ren originally didn’t feel anything at all, but when he said so, he felt something, and made a big red face. Feng Xin immediately face: “Okay, His Highness has said not to say, you still mention what.” But the corners of his own mouth twitching. Xie Ren couldn’t stand it anymore, and argued, “What for? What for? My words are obviously very useful. Look.”

The young man sat for a while, did not hear Xie Ren’s voice, so he rubbed his face a few times, took down the tray on the table, held it in his arms, and began to eat the dried up fruits and snacks inside, chewing and chewing with all his might, and ate with the pitiful and ferocious vigor of a small animal. Xie Ren stooped down to look at him and revealed a smile, saying to the other two: “You see, it works. He didn’t eat just now, but now he’s eating.”

Mu Qi said, “OK, OK, it works. You’re a god.”

Feng Xin also said, “Yes, yes, it works. You’re a god.”

“……”

Xie Ren said with a straight face, “Yes, I am a god. Calling you all here is indeed because I have come to a decision.”

By this point, the atmosphere that had been relaxed for less than a split second was heavy again, and Feng Xin asked, “How do we do it?” While Mu Yi said, “Do you still care?”

Xie Ren said, “Pipe. It’s simple. If there isn’t enough water within Xianle, go to a country outside of Xianle.”

Muoi hesitated, “To another country? Wouldn’t that be too far? I’m afraid that I’ll have to borrow some of the Water Magic Magi’s magical treasures, and the Magi stationed in other countries may not be willing to do so.”

Xie Ren naturally considered this and said, “I’ll try it first. It’s better than doing nothing. You guys continue to stay in Yongan for now and tighten up the disaster relief in the serious places first, I’ll go back up to the Heavenly Court, is there a problem?”

Feng Xin said, “No problem. I’ll take the back.”

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yi asked again, “Then, Your Highness, what about the prayers of the believers in the Prince’s Hall on your side?”

Xie Ren said, “This is also what I have to say. You first pick up only the tight ones and solve them on my behalf, and the not-so-tight ones can be suppressed.”

Although Mu Qi didn’t look too optimistic, she still said, “You’re the Crown Prince, so I’ll listen to you. However, I suggest not pressing it for too long.”

Xie Ren patted the shoulders of the two of them, and once Feng Xin and Mu Yi saluted, they retreated. Within a square inch of the small temple, only Xie Ren and the child remained. Xie Ren walked out of the temple, looked back, did not stay much longer, and went straight to the Immortal Capital.

He was scheduled to visit a few water magistrates first, but strangely enough, the first few happened to be out of the Xianjing Mansion, leaving only one Rain Master, who doesn’t live in Xianjing. Xie Ren was in a hurry on the streets of Xianjing, when he was greeted by a black-clothed female civil official carrying several piles of dossiers, and guffawed, “Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are finally back.”

Xie Ren busily said, “Nangong, you’re just in time, do you know where the Rain Master’s residence is?”

This black-clothed woman was named Nangong Jie, a lower-ranking civil official of the Lower Heavenly Court. After Xie Ren’s ascension, many miscellaneous things were handed over and handled by her. As a result, she was well-informed and did her work properly, and Xie Ren was quite fond of her. Nangong Jie said, “Lord Rainmaster has not constructed a residence yet, and is temporarily residing in the southern Rainmaster Kingdom.” Pointing him to the location of the Rain Master’s residence, he added, “What are you looking for that lord for?”

Xie Ren said, “Urgent, many thanks.” Was about to leave, turned around again, coughed lightly, embarrassed, said, “Nangong ah, the upper heavenly court these magistrates you familiar, can you tell me, the rain master master has nothing …… especially like?”

Normally, after a new Divine Magus ascended, the savvier ones would visit the great temples of all the reigning Divine Magi of the same court and send gifts. This was to give face. This was almost an unwritten rule, but Xie Ren had no one to guide him and teach him when he first went up because of the suddenness of his ascension. Later on, the state master reminded him of this, firstly, because he had already missed the best time, it was very awkward to send again, and secondly, because this kind of thing would inevitably remind people of the back door of the earthly greed|officials, as a prince, Xie Ren had a bad feeling about this, and ultimately decided to let nature take its course, and there would always be a chance to bring the relationship with the immortal bureaucrats closer in a sincere and legitimate way.

It was hard not to blush at the beautiful gesture at first, but now, in a reversal of the past, she took the initiative to ask a magus what he liked, as if she was preparing to bribe|bribe someone. However, there was nothing that could be done otherwise. The ones who lived in Xianjing had at least spoken in the psychic formation, so they could discuss any conditions and favors. The Rain Master, on the other hand, has no interactions at all, and on his first visit, Xie Ren is always too embarrassed to let people mistake him for borrowing magic treasures for nothing.

Nangong Jie immediately understood and said, “Shame on me, I’m afraid I can’t help Your Highness. Master Rainmaker is a low-profile person, not to mention me, I’m afraid that no one in the entire Heavenly Realm knows about this lord’s personal preferences. I’m sorry.”

Xie Ren’s face turned a little red and said, “Nothing, no need to take it to heart, many thanks.”

Nangong Jie added: “However, if you are looking for something important, you may as well directly visit the door. According to the Rain Master’s temperament, it is not certain that he will not see you.”

Xie Ren thanked her again and followed her instructions, traveling all the way south to where the Rainmaker was temporarily staying.

It was a small village with green hills and beautiful scenery, but he had no intention to appreciate it. Walking along the ridge, he finally saw a stone monument engraved with “Rain”. According to reason, after this monument, it is the temporary residence of the Rain Master, and those who are active here should all be subordinates of the Rain Master. But Xie Ren walked all the way, the four fields are green fields, fields have mooing cows, there is a bone turn of the waterwheel, there are hard rice-planting farmers, there is a crooked thatched hut on the edge of the field, there is no any fairy style and Taoism imagery, so that Xie Ren simply suspect that he went to the wrong place. Wasn’t this place just a run-down, closed-off farming village?

Just when he was skeptical, the black cow plowing the land suddenly “moo” a few long screams, people stand up, two front hooves stretched out, and take down the plow for themselves. Strong body more and more narrow, long nose more and more short. In the blink of an eye, it was actually from a shiny black cow, transformed into a bare-chested farmer.

The farmer was tall and strong, with a muscular body and a hard face, wearing a shiny iron nose ring on his nose and that of the ox, and holding a blade of grass in his mouth. The rest of the farmers saw this horrifying change with their own eyes, but they still continued to work as if they were used to it. Only then was Xie Ren certain that none of the people here were mortals, and walked up, cupping his fists and saying, “May I ask this Taoist friend, does the Rain Master reside here temporarily?”

The farmer transformed into a black ox pointed to the shore and said, “Here. Lord Rainmaker, live in there.”

“……”

Xie Ren repeatedly looked at it a few times, and finally determined that the direction he was pointing was only that thatched hut that seemed like it could fall down when the wind picked up, and would surely leak when it rained.

Even his shabbiest grassroots prince temple was much more decent and substantial compared to this hut. Xie Ren couldn’t help but wonder in his heart. People say that before the rain master lord ascension and he is the same, is the rain master country royal descendant, is because of this, he did not directly bring him those rare gemstones to as a gift, think to this kind of thing feelings, rain master and he is the same, will not be rare. Why will fall as low as this after ascension? Probably, it is also a way of cultivation.

His courtesy was not short in the least, thanking the farmer and approaching the hut, he said aloud in an outer voice, “Lord Rain Master, Prince Xie Ren of Xian Le has taken the liberty of paying a visit without informing him beforehand, so please forgive me.”

There was no sound in the house, and the farmer dragged his plow up and said, “Oh? You’re that seventeen year old prince who ascended?”

Xie Ren said, “Shame on you.”

The farmer said: “Nothing to be ashamed of, the truth. However, Master Rainmaker doesn’t like to see people, and has recently been injured, so I’m afraid I can’t come out to see you.”

Upon hearing this, Xie Ren felt slightly disappointed, but still held the heart to try and say: ”Could you please send a message on my behalf? I have something important to ask for. If the Rain Master listens and is inconvenienced, I will never force myself.”

The farmer hemmed and hawed, “I don’t need to send a message, we all know what you’re here for. It’s not very pleasant to have no water in Xianle Kingdom, is it?”

Upon hearing this, Xie Ren was stunned and said, “You know about the Immortal Music Kingdom?”

The farmer said, “Of course I know. Not only do we know this kind of nested in the poor nooks and crannies of the mountain valley, you Xianle country is in great trouble, now who is not clear? You don’t know your own business, but other people are staring at you all day long, but they know it better than you do, and they may still be happy in their hearts, haha. You are here to ask the rain master to borrow the magic treasure to help save the disaster, right?”

Being broken by him, Xie Ren realized that those Divine Officers in the Heavenly Court did not all happen to be absent, but knew exactly what he wanted to do, and deliberately closed their doors, or had long since avoided them, not wanting to get involved in this mess. He sighed, thinking: “Could it be that initially, we should really visit every big temple, and meet in the future in order to do things well?” A little frustrated at the thought, he said in a low voice, “Exactly. If it is inconvenient for Lord Rain Master, I will never pester you.”

But the farmer said, “Why don’t you pester? Do you want to save face? This is a matter of survival for your nation, shouldn’t you be stalking it? You want you to put down a little bit of stature can not bear it? Young people can not be so calm ah. To put it bluntly, the rain masters adults to help you is the love, not to help you is this. Lend you is in a good mood, do not lend you back to you also do not complain.”

Xie Ren knew that what he said was reasonable, but at the moment he was already burnt out, coupled with this tone of voice was not very friendly, a stream of gas slightly upward, head high and colorful: “I am clear about what you said, and I will definitely not complain behind my back, and why do you need to envision me like this in advance? I said that I will not be entangled, just do not want to make it difficult for the Rain Master. But if the rain master is not difficult, only need me to entangle can borrow the magic treasure, even if I let me hand over eight thousand palaces, and then kneel down and kowtow to you a hundred times and how difficult?”

The farmer laughed, “Angry? A child’s temper. Go on!”

As soon as he threw it, Xie Ren raised his hand and received a green-colored bamboo hat, the very one that the farmer had originally carried on his back. Xie Ren said, “This is?”

The farmer said, “The thing you want to borrow. Before you came here, the Rain Master told me to give it to you. Be careful with it, we won’t spare you if you break it.”

Xie Ren’s eyes widened as he said, “Why?”

The farmer said, “Why didn’t you say so? Borrowing you is just being in a good mood. Other magi don’t lend you, but Lord Rain Master prefers to lend you. Rain Master Senior can do whatever he wants.”

Xie Ren said in a loud voice, “Many thanks! Many thanks!”

That farmer, however, said, “Don’t be too happy, Your Highness. Although the Rain Master has ascended longer than you, he doesn’t have as many believers as you do, and his magical power is far less than yours, plus he has been injured, so apart from lending this thing to you, you can only rely on yourself for the rest. Water from afar cannot quench the thirst of the near, this rainmaker’s hat can only move rain, not create water. You Xianle country’s water is not enough, can only go to other countries to borrow, other countries are not determined to be happy, only the rain master country perennial surplus, there is still a surplus. But this is a long mountain and far away, every time you use it, you have to consume a lot of mana, you mana again, there will be a time when you run out of mana.”

Xie Ren, however, was more than aware of how difficult it was to lend one’s own magic treasure to someone unrelated. He bowed deeply to the thatched hut and said, ”I am already very grateful that Master Rainmaker is willing to lend a helping hand. A great favor goes without saying, in the future, if there is anything I can help with, please feel free to send me, Master Rain. Farewell!”

He borrowed the magic treasure, and at once he sought out a lake and river in the south, pocketed a great deal of lake water in a rainmaker’s hat, crossed a thousand miles, returned to Xianle Yongan, sought out the village where the drought was most severe, Lang’er Bay, and turned that bucket hat over on the clouds.

At that moment, the sky pattered with a light rain. Xie Ren jumped off the clouds, feet touching the ground, those half-dead villagers do not dare to believe, some rushed out of the door to get wet and cheered, some rushed to the home to wash their faces and feet of large and small pots are launched to catch the rain.

Seeing this, Xie Ren sighed in relief, before revealing a smile. At this time, a voice was suddenly heard shouting from afar, “Your Highness the Crown Prince!”

When he turned around, he only saw Mu Qi with half a black face, turning out from behind a tree. Seeing his bad face, Xie Ren knew it was not good and said, “What’s wrong, did something happen?”
