Chapter 129 Taoist priest sacrifices his life to pray for rain
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a Taoist priest named Shi in Shandong Province who was good at praying for good weather.
In the twelfth year of Qianlong's reign, there was a severe drought in Shandong Province.
Shandong Fujun (also called governor, the highest military and political officer in a province) Zhun Tai tried every means to invite talented people and strangers to pray for rain, but he failed.
Later, someone reported to Zhun Tai that the Taoist priest had this ability.
So Zhun Tai sent someone to ask Taoist Shi to pray for rain.
At first, Shi Daoshi was reluctant to come.
Without saying a word, Zhun Tai's men locked him with an iron chain. After catching him, they brought him to Zhun Tai and forced him to pray for rain.
Shi Daoshi said: "It's not impossible for me to ask for rain, and it's not impossible to ask for rain, but I have to wait until the time is right!"
Zhun Tai asked curiously: "How do you say this? What kind of opportunity do you need to wait for?"
Shi Daoshi said: "We need to wait for the star (a type of comet. It is the star of disaster that fortune-tellers refer to) to come down to earth one day."
Juntai asked again: "Then do you have any other requests? Tell them all!"
Shi Taoist said: "At that time, you will donate a brocade quilt and one hundred taels of silver. Of course, I will also donate ten years of life, so that I can pray for rain!"
Lord Fujun agreed and prepared as he said.
When the date came, the Taoist priest went up to the altar and prepared to pray for rain.
Taoist Shi called a boy forward and asked him to stretch out his hand. Then he took out three talismans that he had drawn in advance, put them in the boy's palm, and told him: "If you go to a field somewhere now, if you see There is a woman in white, if you throw the first talisman, she will definitely chase you; then you use the second talisman to throw her; she will still chase you again, so you use the third talisman Throw her away. Then you just run back, run up to this altar, and hide."
The boy followed the Taoist priest's instructions and went to a field somewhere. When I got there, I saw a woman in white.
The boy threw the first talisman as Taoist Shi said.
The woman was furious, took off her skirt and chased the boy.
The boy threw the second talisman again.
The woman became even more furious, took off her shirt, exposed her breasts, and chased the boy like crazy.
The boy quickly threw the third talisman.
There was a thunderclap in the sky, and the woman took off the remaining underwear and chased her naked.
The boy hurriedly ran away, ran back to the altar and hid.
The woman followed closely and chased after him.
Shi Daoshi knocked on the token and shouted to her: "Rain, rain, rain!"
The woman immediately turned her back to the sky and lay under the altar.
After a while, a large amount of cloud gas gushes out from her lower body and spreads everywhere, covering the sky and the sun.
Immediately afterwards, it started to rain.
The Taoist priest stepped down from the altar and covered the woman with a brocade quilt.
The woman slowly regained consciousness. Seeing her naked appearance, she felt very puzzled. She asked with shame and annoyance: "I am a woman from a certain family, why am I lying here naked?"
Shi Daoshi didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so he simply didn't speak.
Lord Fujun ordered people to quickly prepare clothes and put them on the woman. He then sent an old woman to take her home and rewarded his family with one hundred taels of silver.
And the heavy rain from the sky kept falling for five days and five nights!
The drought has completely disappeared in Shandong!
Afterwards, someone asked Shi Daoshi the reason for this.
Shi Daoshi explained: "The Bixing is a woman, and she is lustful by nature. She likes to make clouds and rain. When she is in the sky, she is also naked. She only puts on clothes when she worships the Big Dipper.
And the day I chose was the day she worshiped Beidou. While she was in the field, I used the talisman to force her into the woman's body and let the woman come in her place. Then I tried to anger her and make the thunderstorm come.
But this method is too bad and will definitely be punished by God. So at first I was unwilling to come over to pray for rain, because it would ruin my life! However, this is for the livelihood of the common people, so I don’t care! "
Sure enough, a few years later, Master Shi died suddenly!
This may be the reason why the world likes Taoist priests and hates monks! Taoist priests are usually self-sufficient, but once the people of the country are in trouble, Taoist priests will come down from the mountain; monks will only accept the bush from the believers, and they will all become fat and extremely selfish!
