Chapter 040: After receiving a participation award,

Shen Hong entered the palace overnight to meet the emperor.

  Because he serves as Jinwu Guard and has a token, he can enter the palace directly.

  In less than half an hour, three guards with swords walked out of the palace gate with a letter written by the emperor, an imperial edict and a Taoist talisman. They rode thousands of miles of horses and rushed to Yuecheng Mansion in the northwest overnight.

  The closer you get to the northwest, the drier the loess becomes and the trees become more yellow.

  There was not a single rice seedling or wheat seedling in the farmland.

  The three guards with swords rushed for a day and a night, exhausting five horses. They finally arrived at Yuecheng Mansion in the early morning of the third day and found Lord Sinong Ye.

  They put three things into his hands.

  After reading the emperor's autographed letter, Mr. Ye was shocked. He held the Taoist Talisman in his hand. Even if he didn't believe in this Taoist Talisman, he still had to believe in the Emperor.

  "Go to the altar quickly!"

  The sacrifice was about to begin in half an hour, and he wanted to save the ten children.

  Master Ye took his five servants and three Sinong Temple officials and rode to the altar together.

  The sound of horse hooves clanked, and the sky was filled with loess.

  A large river is about to dry up, revealing a river bottom full of pebbles.

  Thousands of ordinary people are watching the upcoming sacrifice. Standing on the altar is a wizard, wearing a black and white wizard uniform, jumping around with incense and candles, sometimes sprinkling water and sometimes rice.

  There were five men and five women kneeling on the stage, but they were all children of seven or eight years old.

  "The auspicious time has come. Let's offer pigs, cattle, sheep, and six boys and girls to Lord River God."

  "Stop—" Lord Ye rushed over in a hurry. Even though he was over sixty years old, his voice was still strong and powerful.

  "The emperor has an order that prohibits the sacrifice of human beings. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy."

  "What? Mr. Ye, if you dare to stop the sacrifice, aren't you afraid that Mr. River God will blame you?" The wizard's face was filled with anger.

  "If there really is a river god, and he is a god, human sacrifices should not be used, unless he is a ghost, a demon, or a devil."

  "You!"

  "Declaration of the imperial edict -"

  Tens of thousands of people at the scene knelt down in unison, He opened his mouth and shouted: "Long live the emperor!"

  After the imperial edict was announced, ten children were rescued.

  Lord Ye ordered tens of thousands of people to leave the altar and all return home to take out buckets, bottles and cans of rootless water.

  People didn't believe it at first, but there was an imperial edict and a group of hundreds of officers and soldiers came to drive away the crowd.

  Half an hour later...

  Back at the inn, Mr. Ye was resting alone in the wing.

  Holding the Taoist talisman, he walked to the window and looked at the people on the street holding buckets and looking up at the blue sky, begging God for rain.

  He stroked his white beard and looked up at the sky. "Give it to my great master, Nong Ye Zhou."

  The Taoist Talisman in his hand quickly flew into the air, and after a burst of golden light, it ignited with red flames until the Taoist Talisman was burned out, leaving no ash at all.

  Master Ye was shocked and curious at the strange scene in front of him.

  The next second, a strong wind blew, the trees swayed, and the roof tiles shook.

  The cloudless sky was slowly covered by dark clouds, and the earth became dark.

  The strong wind carried the coolness of the rain and blew towards Mr. Ye. A drop of rain fell. Mr. Ye reached out to catch it, and it happened to fall on his palm.

  One drop, two drops, three drops...

  The streets outside the window rang with the cheers of countless people: "Hahaha... it's raining, it's raining -"

  "It's rain, ah ah! It's really raining."

  "Your Majesty You didn't lie to us, hahaha...Long live the emperor."

  People ran out to soak in the rain, regardless of getting their clothes wet, and drank sip after sip from the rainwater without fear of getting sick.

  ...

  Merit +1, Merit +100, Merit +1000, Merit +10000...

  Ruan Ruan jumped up excitedly as he listened to the mall system continuously playing the number of merits.

  Oops -

  she fell down on her cot. Fortunately, the soft mattress prevented the pain.

  It was probably raining in the northwest. Although her rain charm was sold, it was still a good deed. She saved so many people, so she still had some merit.     [Do you want to absorb merit? ]

  Ruan Ruan clicked [Yes], and bursts of golden light entered her body.

  [I have absorbed 350,000+ merits. Do you want to upgrade to level four? ]

  Ruan Ruan happily clicked [Yes].

  [The mall system has been successfully upgraded to level four, with 350,000+ merits left, and a lucky wheel draw. ]

  Twelve items on the big carousel, each one is precious: Marrow Cleansing Pill, Foundation Establishment Pill, Heaven Palm Bottle, Demon Summoning Banner, Demon Slaying Sword, Soul Luring Bell, Shennong Cauldron, Immortal Grass, Immortal Binding Suo, Yin Yang Mirror, Subduing Demonic Pestle, thank you for participating.

  Each one of them is a big killer in the world. She wants...

  hehehehe...

  of course the essence-cleansing and marrow-cutting pill, which can only be purchased at level seven.

  Ruan Ruan clicked on the big turntable. After ding ding ding, the pointer finally landed on [Thank you for participating].

  Omai Karma -

  Ruan Ruan looked up to the sky and cried bitterly. He had a rare chance to draw a lottery, but he only got a participation prize.

  Wuwuwuwuwu...

  It costs 10 million merit gold to leave the fifth level. Where can she find it?

  It seems that the road to immortality is long and long...

  Ruan Ruan was so angry that he stayed up all night and had a pair of panda eyes the next day.

  Cheng Yurong was frightened and thought her daughter was sick.

  Fortunately, Ruan Ruan was too sleepy. After drinking goat's milk, he fell asleep in the morning light.

  ...

  Three days

  later, it rained moderately for three consecutive days. As soon as the rain stopped, the sun came out and the dark clouds dispersed.

  In just three days, the rivers were filled with rain, tender grass grew on the ground, and the trees sprouted green buds.

  Whether in rural areas or towns, everyone is sowing seeds, including rapeseed, wheat, and rice.

  Three guards with swords rode on thousands of miles of horses and hurried slowly. They returned to the capital two days later and brought the good news to the palace.

  When Shen Hong returned to the general's mansion in the morning, he asked a dozen servants to carry back six boxes of gold.

  Ten thousand taels of silver is equivalent to one thousand taels of gold, which is enough to fill six large boxes.

  Ruan Ruan's eyes were shining, a thousand taels of gold?

  [Dad, I want to see gold, I want to see it. ] In her previous life, she lived in the 21st century for twenty years without a single gold ring, but now she easily owns six large boxes of gold.

  For the sake of gold, she won't take part in the lottery and only won the participation prize.

  Shen Hong picked up his daughter and walked to the box, asking the servant to open the lid. The golden light was so bright that it blinded his eyes.

  Ruan Ruan covered his eyes and grinned to his ears.

  Hehehe...

  she is a rich woman now.

  "Yu Niang, save this gold for your daughter's dowry! In the future, when she gets married, she will be worthy of a dowry of ninety-nine tons and ten miles of red dots."

  Shen Hong wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. When he thought about his daughter getting married in more than ten years, His heart... ached.

  "Ah wu..." Ruan Ruan screamed fiercely and glared at Shen Hong.

  [Marry? Dad, I don't want to get married. I want to stay with you and my mother for the rest of my life. Moreover, I still have a lot of important things to do, and getting married will affect my ability to draw the sword. ]

  Affect the draw of the sword?

  Shen Hong was stunned. Although he didn't understand what drawing the sword meant, his mood instantly improved when he heard his little girl said that she would not marry and would stay with him for the rest of her life.

  "It's better to be a daughter. She knows how to love her parents." He kissed his daughter on the cheek, and after holding on for two months, he finally kissed her.

  How could he have imagined that his little girl would embark on the path of cultivating immortality and learning Taoism in the future, and would take him and the whole family with her.

  　What prize do you want Ruan Ruan to win?
