Chapter 269 How Did You Get That Rain?
Upon hearing this, Yun Chengying quickly raised a megaphone and shouted to the villagers who were glaring at them, "Fellow villagers, this Taoist priest Lingyun is a fraud! You have been deceived by him! There is no mountain god at all. This is all a case of Taoist priest Lingyun colluding with bandits to do evil and harm people!"
His words were amplified through a loudspeaker, and all the villagers heard them clearly.
The villagers looked on incredulously, and someone shouted, "You're talking nonsense! How could Master Lingyun be a fraud! I saw him pray for rain with my own eyes!"
Other villagers chimed in, and the scene became chaotic again.
Yun Chengying shouted through a megaphone, "Shut up! Listen to me!"
The deafening sound immediately silenced the villagers.
Yun Chengying removed the cloth from Lingyun Daoist's mouth, handed him the megaphone, and said coldly, "Tell the villagers honestly what evil deeds you've committed!"
When Master Lingyun faced the loudspeaker, he trembled with fear and stammered, unable to speak.
Yun Qingqing slapped Master Lingyun on the shoulder: "Speak!"
Master Lingyun was knocked to the ground, his nose hitting the ground and bleeding. He looked extremely disheveled.
The villagers frowned when they saw this. Did this girl want to die?
Master Lingyun is the messenger of the Mountain God. With the Mountain God's protection, how dare she treat Master Lingyun like this!
Yun Qingqing stepped on Lingyun Daoist's back and said coldly, "Will you talk or not? If you don't, I'll let you experience something even more powerful!"
When Master Lingyun was stepped on like that, his blood surged and he coughed up blood. He cried out in despair, "What did this girl eat to grow up like this? How can she be so strong? And so heavy!"
Master Lingyun coughed up blood and quickly shouted into the loudspeaker, "I'll talk, I'll talk, it's all fake. I made up the mountain god. There is no mountain god at all. It was the bandits of Black Wind Village who forced me to deceive you like this so that you would send them girls."
His words immediately caused an uproar at the scene.
"What? The mountain god is fake?! Then all the girls we gave to the mountain god have ended up in the bandits' den."
"Damn it! I was wondering why the Mountain God would force us to give him girls. It turns out this was all a conspiracy between that evil Taoist priest and the bandits!"
"Impossible! Master Lingyun is definitely not a fraud!" an old man shouted, his neck stiff. "I saw Master Lingyun pray for rain with my own eyes! Master Lingyun must have been threatened by them to say such a thing!"
The old man's words immediately silenced the previously agitated crowd.
“Old Zhang is right,” a woman hurriedly chimed in. “The Taoist priest even cured my child’s illness last year. If it weren’t for the talisman water he gave me, my child would have died long ago.”
Several elderly people nearby nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's right. The Taoist priest has the ability to pray for rain, how could he be a fraud?"
"I think it was these outsiders who did this," a burly man shouted, pointing at Yun Chengying. "They kidnapped the Taoist priest and forced him to say these things!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Catch them!"
Seeing this, Xu Ji's expression turned cold. He picked up the megaphone and shouted, "Shut up, all of you!"
The sound was deafening, and everyone immediately fell silent.
Xu Ji's gaze swept over Daoist Lingyun: "Tell me yourself, did we threaten you?"
Master Lingyun trembled at his sharp gaze and hurriedly shouted into the loudspeaker, "No, no, they didn't threaten me. I'm not some kind of master, I'm just a conman."
As soon as Master Lingyun finished speaking, voices of doubt arose from the crowd:
"What about that rain last year? We all saw with our own eyes that you performed a ritual to pray for it!"
"Yes, it rained right after you finished your ritual that day, that can't be fake, right?"
Yun Qingqing pressed down slightly with her feet: "Tell me, how did you manage to get that rain?"
Master Lingyun, his blood surging from being trampled, hurriedly shouted into the loudspeaker, "I performed the rainmaking ritual on that day because I observed the celestial phenomena last night and saw that it would rain in three days."
One villager suddenly realized: "No wonder you insisted on performing the ritual on that day; you knew all along that it was going to rain!"
Old Zhang was still not giving up: "Then you must have been serious about treating Aunt Li's child, right?"
“That is…” Master Lingyun stammered.
"Speak!" Yun Qingqing pressed down harder with her feet.
