Chapter 71 The True Form of the Four Sacrifice
Upon hearing this, not only did Lady Luoshui look at Jiang Li, but the other bigwigs of Luoshui also stared intently at Jiang Li.
For a moment, the entire room fell silent.
In fact, the bigwigs of Luoshui all knew that Jiang Li's future would definitely not be limited to Luoshui. Perhaps one day, he would be promoted and start his own business.
Even so, we still have to fight for it; no one wants to let go of such a favor.
Of course, the bigwigs of Luoshui also made it very clear that with Jiang Li's current experience and age, she could receive excellent training no matter which department of the Luoshui Water Mansion she went to.
This is also because Jiang Li lacks experience in all aspects...
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Li raised her head, bowed to Lady Luoshui, and said softly, "Your Majesty, I wish to go to... the Bureau of Cloud and Rain."
The couple, the messengers of wind and rain, exchanged a glance and smiled slightly at each other.
"Brother Jiang Li, rest assured, my wife and I will teach you everything you need to know about making clouds and rain."
"That's right."
The couple chatted back and forth.
Jiang Li suddenly felt a little reluctant to go; simply because she didn't want to be subjected to public displays of affection.
"Very well, now that you are the Minister of Water, you must learn how to control clouds and rain."
Lady Luoshui nodded with a smile and said, "You may all leave now. I will give Li'er a few instructions and then send him to the Bureau of Cloud and Rain."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Everyone bowed and withdrew.
When only Jiang Li and Lady Luoshui remained, Lady Luoshui touched her sleeve and took out a white jade talisman.
Jiang Li subconsciously looked over and saw that each of the four corners of the white jade square talisman was engraved with a rune, which looked very mysterious, but he did not know its meaning.
"Li'er, do you know the true form of the Five Sacred Mountains?"
Lady Luoshui asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li honestly shook his head. He knew the name "True Form Diagram of the Five Sacred Mountains," but he didn't know exactly what it was.
Even this so-called knowledge is just a memory from a past life.
Lady Luoshui smiled and explained, "The so-called Five Sacred Mountains True Form Map refers to the five great immortal mountains of Tai, Hua, Song, Heng, and Heng in the Divine Land of China."
"In the past, the Queen Mother of the West passed down the true forms of the Five Sacred Mountains, which are the supreme talismans of the Taoist school of talismans."
"Those who cultivate the Tao and practice this True Form Diagram of the Five Sacred Mountains will be kept away from all ghosts, demons, poisonous insects, fierce beasts, disasters, and diseases."
Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, but she was also somewhat puzzled. She asked, "Your Majesty, if it is the True Form Map of the Five Sacred Mountains, why are there only four runes on this white jade talisman?"
Lady Luoshui laughed upon hearing this, and said jokingly, "Who told you that what I have is the True Form Map of the Five Sacred Mountains?"
Jiang Li blinked blankly.
Seeing his reaction, Lady Luoshui stopped teasing him and said with a smile, "The True Form Map of the Five Sacred Mountains can only be bestowed upon those who have an immortal name. If you count the people in the mortal realm of China today, there are no more than five people qualified to possess this talisman."
The so-called immortal name is not a celestial official rank like Jiang Li. It is either a true cultivator who has been recognized by the Taoist sect and has a universally acknowledged name in the Three Realms, and is worthy of being called a "True Person".
Alternatively, one could be a "True Lord" in the Heavenly Court. Within the Heavenly Court's official system, the title of "True Lord" is quite special, existing independently outside the ranks of Heavenly Officials.
Clearly, Jiang Li is not qualified to receive the Five Sacred Mountains True Form Map.
What is that thing in the Empress's hand?
"Among these few true cultivators, there is one you have met once, namely the True Man Ge Xuan."
Lady Luoshui continued, smiling.
Jiang Li suddenly realized that the Empress had mentioned earlier that she had met Ge Xuan at Shouyang Mountain and had been asked by Ge Xuan to pass on a supernatural power to her.
Could it be this white jade talisman?
"The image on this talisman is also a True Form Diagram, but it is not the True Form Diagram of the Five Sacred Mountains. Instead, it is the 'True Form Diagram of the Four Rivers' that Ge Xuan Zhenren comprehended while touring the major waterways of the Chinese land, based on the True Form Diagram of the Five Sacred Mountains."
After saying that, Lady Luoshui casually handed the white jade talisman to Jiang Li.
What is the true form of the Four Rivers?
Jiang Li took it and examined it closely. After a while, she looked up with some confusion and hesitated, "Your Majesty, why do I feel that these four runes seem somewhat...incomplete?"
Indeed, the Four Rivers True Form Symbols were not apparent at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that while the four symbols have a general overall shape, they are always disjointed and lack harmony in the details.
There is a sense of incompleteness.
"It is indeed incomplete."
Lady Luoshui nodded and smiled, "I just didn't expect you to be able to see it in such a short time."
Jiang Li scratched his head and asked, "What does it mean that Master Ge Xuan gave me an incomplete True Form Diagram?"
"Of course, you're the one who needs to complete it."
Lady Luoshui thought for a moment and said, "This is more like a test from Master Ge. He seems to have hidden something in it. If you can complete the Four Rivers True Form Diagram, you will be able to obtain the reward within."
Jiang Li's lips twitched, feeling as if Ge Xuan had a question mark on his head and was about to accept a mission.
"As for what's so special about this thing, you'll have to figure it out for yourself."
As Lady Luoshui spoke casually, she stood up and pulled out an official document from the table beside her.
"Perfect timing. Here is a document ordering rainfall. It is to bring rain to Yanshi County tonight. Judging from the sky, the time is almost here. Go and do it."
"Learn from Xingfeng and Quyun. They have been a couple for many years and work together very well. Some of their clever ideas are even impressive to me."
Lady Luoshui gave her detailed instructions.
"Yes, Little Fish will go right away."
Jiang Li accepted the official document with both hands, temporarily setting aside the matter of the Four Rivers True Form Diagram, and carefully put away the white jade talisman.
Regardless, this is a treasure from a true Taoist master, one of the future Four Celestial Masters. Even if it is incomplete, it is still enough for Jiang Li to use in large quantities.
After leaving the back hall, Jiang Li was about to go to the Cloud and Rain Bureau when she saw the Wind and Cloud Couple waiting in the main hall. When they saw Jiang Li coming, they went up to greet her.
The messenger, with his sharp eyes, noticed the official document in Jiang Li's hand and said to his wife with a smile, "I knew it. The reason Her Majesty kept Brother Jiang here was to explain this matter of rainfall."
The Cloud Chaser smiled, looked at Jiang Li, and said softly, "Brother Jiang, since there are official documents to handle, let's get to work first and see what the documents require."
"Alright, I'll have to trouble you now, brother and sister-in-law."
Jiang Li smiled and nodded. After changing the way they addressed each other, the smiles on the faces of Xing Feng and Qu Yun became even brighter.
As she spoke, Jiang Li opened the official document in her hand.
"By imperial decree, the Luoshui Prefecture shall bring rain to Yanshi City. The next day after receiving the decree, clouds will appear at 11:30 AM, thunder will sound at 11:40 AM, rain will begin at 1:00 AM, and the rain will stop at 3:00 AM. The total rainfall shall be 3 inches and 27 drops. There shall be no error."
The Cloud-Driving Envoy nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "It's just a routine task. If you're careful, you won't make any mistakes. It's perfect for teaching Brother Jiang."
"There's no time to lose, my husband. Let's pack our supplies and set off now."
