Entering the Investiture of the Gods, starting by controlling the three calamities of wind and thund

In the fourth year of Emperor Xin's reign, in the third month of spring.

The Great Shang Bluebird Envoy traveled through the human world and arrived at Chentang Pass in the East Sea. Emperor Yi's eldest daughter, Yin Jiao, petitioned the King of Shang, proposing to post a yellow notice in Chentang Pass and perform a rain-praying ritual to benefit the common people.

The messenger, following instructions, quickly received Emperor Xin's decree that the matter of praying for rain should be put on the agenda.

Emperor Xin is the current human king, wielding immense power in the human world. His status is comparable to that of a celestial being, and his position is extremely noble.

In ancient times, the human race flourished, and the world was ruled by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. At that time, the Human Sovereign was the supreme ruler of the Three Realms, whose words could shake heaven and earth, and whose position was comparable to that of the Heavenly Saints.

During the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, the human race was incredibly powerful. The human kings of that time were called Human Sovereigns in the human world, Heavenly Emperors in the heavens, and Five Ghost Emperors in the underworld.

His power was so great that it could influence the Three Realms!

During the reign of Yu the Great, Qi of Xia established a hereditary monarchy, and the human king gradually lost his authority and power.

Although the current king can still command the world, his power is far less than before.

Four years after Emperor Xin ascended the throne, he enjoyed the legacy of Emperor Yi, and thus the Shang Dynasty was able to enjoy peace and tranquility.

Within the territory of the Great Shang Dynasty, the people lived in peace and prosperity, the weather was favorable, the country was at peace, the barbarians from all directions paid homage, and the eight hundred vassal lords of the world all paid tribute to Shang.

Although there are some cases of eczema in the Chen Tang Pass area, Emperor Xin did not take them seriously.

A single sacrificial ceremony is all it takes to ensure peace and prosperity throughout the year, after which the weather will be favorable and the disasters will be eliminated.

After the yellow notice was posted, in the Chentang Pass area, regardless of whether they were emperors or commoners, big or small households, everyone bathed and burned incense, and everyone worshipped at the temple to pray for rain.

Outside Chentang Pass, Xin Huan disguised himself as a woodcutter, carrying two large bundles of firewood, and mingled among the crowd.

But his appearance was quite different now. After arriving in the human world, Xin Huan found a way to exchange some money in the market.

After some investigation, he finally understood his current situation: today's world is the time when Emperor Xin has ascended the throne.

Four years ago, Emperor Yi died, and Prince Shou succeeded him.

It is now the fourth year of Emperor Xin's reign. The Shang Dynasty is at peace, with the whole country enjoying tranquility and everyone living in peace and contentment. No unrest has yet broken out.

"This Chen Tang Pass is truly extraordinary!"

Xin Huan mingled among the crowd, dressed in coarse linen clothes, carrying two large loads of firewood on his shoulders. He looked towards Guanzhong and couldn't help but clap his hands in praise.

Before us stood Chentang Pass, stretching between two mountains like a black dragon, extending for over a hundred miles and rising over a hundred feet high, seemingly not a creation of the mortal world.

Passing through the city gate, one can vaguely see the scene inside the gate. In Chentang Pass, the ground is paved with blue bricks, and the roads are well-connected. The commerce inside the gate is very prosperous, and it is like a bustling world.

This formidable pass, with its rugged and towering appearance and strategic location, presents a unique spectacle, as the worlds inside and outside the pass are two completely different worlds!

Chentang Pass connects to the East China Sea, so there are many Yi people outside the pass who make a living by fishing, or like Xin Huan, by chopping wood.

The soldiers coming and going had long been accustomed to these barbarian people; they were nothing more than a group of refugees and wild men from the mountains, not worth mentioning.

"Hey!"

"Halt!"

At the entrance of Chentang Pass, a group of soldiers stopped Xin Huan and pointed to the money box, indicating that he should pay taxes.

"You woodcutter, are you heading into town?"

A soldier stepped forward and asked Xin Huan.

"Indeed, indeed!"

"We hope you gentlemen will grant us this favor!"

Xin Huan nodded and immediately replied.

"The king has given an order!"

"Any foreigner from outside the pass who enters the city must pay an entry fee of twenty copper coins or two jade shells!"

"Qingfu" refers to money or wealth.

During the Shang Dynasty, the Qingfu (青蚨) was used as currency, and it was decorated with jade shells, as well as mithril, refined gold, and other items.

However, ordinary people can only deal with jade shells and mithril on a daily basis. As for mithril and refined gold, these two things are almost exclusively circulated among the ruling class.

Mithril and adamantite are hard currency!

Even in the world of cultivation, both of these items are extremely valuable and require a large amount of immortal crystals to redeem.

"Import fee?"

Xin Huan was taken aback upon hearing this.

However, he quickly realized what was happening. He secretly used his supernatural powers, recited an incantation, and used an illusion to sneak into the city.

Xin Huan's pockets are now emptier than his face, so where would he get the money? He had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

"what?"

"Why are so many people gathered at the foot of this city wall? Could something major have happened?"

After Xin Huan entered Guanzhong, he saw a large group of people gathered at the foot of the city wall not far away.

The crowd surrounded the notice that had been posted, and some people were even discussing it loudly.

"Now, in the Chen Tang Pass area, the people are suffering from a severe drought. There is not a drop of rain, and the crops have withered. Every household in the city, large and small, needs to bathe and burn incense!"

"We pray to Heaven for rain every day, and this notice is hereby posted."

"If you encounter a person with the ability to pray for rain, they may take down the yellow notice and come to the General's Mansion to oversee the rainmaking. Once the rain is successfully prayed for, a generous reward will be given!"

The soldiers posted notices on the side, saying that there are many extraordinary people hiding in the territory of Da Shang. If you encounter a wise and talented person, you can solve the important matter here.

"Posting a proclamation to pray for rain?"

"Oh dear, how could I have forgotten about that!"

"The child in Lady Yin's womb is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Killer Star from Nuwa's Palace. Now that he has descended to the mortal realm, he is about to face many trials and tribulations!"

"Lady Yin was pregnant with Nezha, but she did not give birth for three years. Then, Chen Tang and Guanzhong suffered a severe drought for three years. This was the will of Heaven!"

"The severe drought in Chentang Pass this year is likely due to the influence of the shifting celestial bodies!"

Xin Huan slapped his forehead and immediately began to think about the matter. Admittedly, it was too early now.

In the fourth year of Emperor Xin's reign, Nezha had not yet been born, and Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, had not yet entered Chaoge.

If Xin Huan hadn't still had some recollection of this, he probably wouldn't have connected this matter with the cause and effect of Nezha's birth.

"The calamity of the Investiture of the Gods has begun, and even the Great Luo Immortals are stained

"Unfortunately, times changed, and a deadly threat arose, causing countless innocent people to lose their lives."

"When a dynasty prospers, the people suffer; when a dynasty falls, the people suffer!"

"Perhaps I can save the people of Chentang Pass. But so be it, my conscience is clear!"

"I will accept this ritual."

After much deliberation, Xin Huan decided to remove the yellow notice to protect the innocent people of Chentang Pass.

Ultimately, the severe drought in Chentang Pass was the result of Nezha's actions. Nezha was the reincarnation of the Heavenly Killing Star, and his arrival in the human realm was bound to cause turmoil.

Heaven has unleashed its murderous intent, shifting stars and changing constellations!

A deadly aura erupts from the ground; dragons and snakes rise from the land!

Nezha, as the Heavenly Killer Star, is a celestial being who has now come to earth to be reincarnated. He was gestating for three years, which is why Chentang Pass experienced a three-year drought.

If someone were to intervene, the drought could be alleviated, and in doing so, one could also seek some merit.
