Chapter 109 Prosperity
Just as the two were arguing, Li Jing had already led the gods, Yasha and others to the river.
Looking at the bustling believers in the distance, Li Jing nodded with satisfaction.
After this period of publicity and fermentation, the name of the Qingshui God Mo'o has been well known to the public. Therefore, many people like to gather near the temple.
The dispute between merchants and farmers also attracted a lot of people to watch, so there was a bustling scene.
"Master! Do you really want to inspire the storm? Now the fruits and crops are ripe. If you are not careful, you will cause unimaginable losses. At that time, I'm afraid the master will definitely be blamed!"
Wang Lietian glanced at the direction of the farmland and said with concern.
Li Jing was not surprised by Wang Litian's concerns. The fruits and crops in the farmland were ripe. If they were swept by the strong wind at this time, they would definitely cause irreparable losses.
However, if Li Jing dares to do this, he will naturally rely on it.
He nodded gently to express his understanding, and then he took out the Dingfeng Bead from under his jaw.
His confidence comes from the Dingfeng Bead.
You know, this Feng Dingfeng Bead comes from the Fengshen Universe, and even the Samadhi Divine Wind of the Wind Roar Formation can be fixed.
Although the strong wind in the river is huge, what does it count as compared to the Wind Roar Formation and Samadhi Divine Wind?
"rest assured!"
"After a while, just hold this orb and stand on the shore!"
Although I don’t know where Li Jing’s confidence came from, everyone still obediently retreated to the shore.
After confirming the Dingfeng Bead and having reached the appropriate position, Li Jing immediately raised the jade scepter in his hand and mobilized the authority therein.
A strong wind rose out of thin air, and the originally calm river surface suddenly became turbulent. The stagnant and weak sailboat, under the strong wind, seemed to be able to flow thousands of miles by just untied the cable.
"It's wind! It's wind!"
Looking at the bulging sails, the crew stood up excitedly. As long as there was wind, their sailboats would be winged.
But some people also looked melancholy!
If such a strong wind blows to the other side, both fruits and vegetables and crops will be affected.
"It's wind blowing!"
"It's really windy!"
"Thank you, Master He, Master He, believers will definitely recast the golden body for Master He to repay God's kindness in the future!"
Looking at the sweeping carp flags and the bulging sails, the big-bellied merchant couldn't help but be ecstatic, kneeling down on his knees and kowtowed constantly.
But the old farmer's face was ashamed and could not come back to his senses for a long time. Thinking of the fruits that were about to ripen on the branches, all his thoughts were gone.
It's over!
It's over!
This is really over!
With such a strong wind, the fruits on the trees will definitely fall to the ground. Alas, this year's hard work has been wasted.
Thinking of this, the old farmer couldn't help but burst into tears.
Everyone was sad.
Even the merchant who was ecstatic to thank the gods for his grace could not help but feel uncomfortable. At the same time, he also had a hint of doubt whether it was really correct to do this.
Just when the atmosphere in the temple was a little solemn, someone suddenly shouted loudly.
"You guys look!"
"The wind was only blowing in the river. As soon as it approached the two sides, it was eliminated by a magical power!"
"Magic! It's so amazing."
"Master of River God, it must be Master of River God who has appeared!"
Hearing the exclamation from people outside, the old farmer and the merchant rushed out of the temple in two steps. They saw that the strong wind seemed to be under control and was raging in the river. Once they reached the shore, they seemed to have encountered a wall of iron and instantly disappeared.
Looking at the old farmer's fruits, they were all hanging on the branches intact. The old farmer couldn't help but burst into tears, and hurriedly turned around and kowtowed to the direction of the River God Temple: "Thank you, Master!"
"Thank you, Master!"
...
The merchant next to him was so excited that he couldn't speak. If he had doubts about the origin of this wind just now, then he could be 100% sure that this wind was inspired by the Lord of the River God.
He did hear his prayer and responded.
Thinking of this, the merchant no longer hesitated and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the direction of the river god.
The people around him also knelt down one after another and kowtowed.
The already prosperous incense reached its peak instantly under the stimulation of this incident. Even after hearing about this incident, people from dozens of miles away came to the Heshen Temple to burn incense and pray. Some storytellers even compiled this incident into storytelling and spread it everywhere.
Fortunately, Wang Lietian and others were there, otherwise Li Jing would not be able to deal with it.
However, what really made the River God Temple Moo famous is another thing.
After the completion of the River God Temple, it will accept worship from the surrounding villagers during the day. At night, it will take in some people who travel around. Among these people, there are many students, Taoists, beggars, etc.
Speaking of which, one night, a Taoist priest happened to rest here. In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a noise, with footsteps mixed with the jingle of chains.
The Taoist priest opened his eyes and looked at him without seeing anyone. He knew that these sounds must have come from the underworld.
It was the Lord of the River God who went to the hall.
He pretended not to know and pretended to be sleepy.
Those ghosts and gods dare not be surprised by his residence here, let alone drive them away.
After a while, the Taoist priest heard someone shouting from above: "I let you protect both sides of the straits and not be blown by the strong wind!"
"Why are you dereliction of duty?"
Hearing the people in the hall, the ghosts and gods below were very frightened and hurriedly explained: "Master of the River God, it was not our intention, it was really an accident! Unintentional mistake! Yes! Unintentional mistake!"
"Besides! Only one fruit tree was blown, and only a dozen fruits fell!"
Hearing the explanation from the ghosts and gods below, the river god above couldn't help but shouted angrily: "What an unintentional mistake!"
"What a person has only more than a dozen fruits falling?"
"Can you know the hard work of farmers?"
"For these fruits, they worked day and night, and you can't help but blame them for all your sins without any intention!"
"Left and right! Press him down and hit the fifteen big boards again."
I heard the roar in the hall, and there were several ghosts and gods below. I heard the crackling screams coming from the hall.
After the execution was over, the ghosts and gods in the hall continued: "You can quickly take the ten taels of silver from the treasury to compensate the farmer! Go quickly, no mistakes are allowed!"
"promise!"
Following the command of the river god, several ghosts and gods took the order and left.
The Taoist priest dared not move around and pretended to sleep until the weather was clear and then got up and left the River Temple.
After he entered the village, he heard that someone suddenly picked up ten taels of silver at home.
After comparing the two, the Taoist realized that what he met was actually a real river god. Only after his account did everyone understand the cause and effect.
