the next day.

As young people from other nearby villages came to help, or to help, a rumor that was half true and half false had spread among the villagers of Zhangjiacun.

During the meal, everyone sat on the floor hiding from the wind and talked about this matter.

"Have you all heard about the things about gods?"

"What magical thing?"

"The gods have appeared, saying that there is something strange happening to the dragons locked in Yunbi Mountain. In the next few days, a mud dragon will escape from its trap and want to cause chaos in Yunbi Mountain?"

"I've also heard that the dragon will appear in the next few days, and the mountain will collapse by then. I don't know how scary it is. This is because God wants to take people's lives, so he asked us to come here."

"The mountain is about to collapse. It's really the dragon that has escaped from the mountain."

"Which god is it? Why don't I know?"

"It's by the river. Aren't we often seeing statues of gods when we pass by?"

Upon hearing this, the villagers in Zhangjiacun immediately shouted.

"Isn't that the deity worshiped by our ancestors in Zhangjia Village for generations? Now we still go to worship during festivals. That deity has appeared?"

The villagers didn't know where they heard it from, and they all talked about it as if they had seen it with their own eyes. Some said what the gods looked like, and some said what the dragon looked like.

The men, women, and children in the village still believe in the theory of gods and ghosts very firmly, especially since they all know about this god and have even worshiped it before.

As they talked, they became more and more convinced that this was a god appearing to guide them. The uneasiness in their hearts also receded, and instead they thought of other things.

An old man slapped his head and immediately called his son-in-law.

"Oops, if this is true, then the mud dragons will flood our village. How can this happen?"

"Then we have to go back and bring all the belongings in the house. If there is a disaster, there will be nothing."

Immediately, I saw figures running home one after another, bringing out all the bottles, cans, tables and benches in the house and everything they could bring.

The problem that originally caused headaches for Liu Yitou and the middle-aged scholar in Changshan was solved in this way. No one made any fuss anymore and everyone became united.

Everything became more orderly, and more sheds higher up were erected faster, but the accumulation of various debris also became more and more.

even.

When Liu Yitou went back to report the situation, he also heard similar rumors in the county.

As I walked down the street, I heard other people talking.

"The gods have appeared."

"Dragon?"

"Are we really going to get rid of the dragon? This is serious."

"It's not a dragon in the river, it's a dragon in the mountains."

"That's a dragon too!"

It is said that there are gods appearing under the river wall of Yunbi Mountain, and it is also said that a mud dragon is about to escape from Yunbi Mountain.

But who met the immortal and where the rumors came from have become unclear.

Liu Yitou vaguely understood something. All this should have been arranged by Magistrate Jia.

"immortal?"

Although he knew the inside story, he was still doubtful about the appearance of gods and dragons.

I walked and came to the gate of the county office.

But he saw two Taoist priests, one fat and one thin, standing at the door. They didn't know what to do. Liu Yitou had something on his mind, so he didn't think much about it and walked inside.

However, as soon as he took the steps, loud shouts came from behind him.

"Master Yunzhen has something important to report to the county magistrate. Please report it to the county magistrate immediately."

"In Yunbi Mountain, there are obscene ghosts who are bewitching the villagers, and there are demons who are spreading rumors and causing trouble. They must have evil intentions. Please send troops to arrest them immediately."

At this time, Liu Yitou's foot that had just stepped onto the steps suddenly tripped on the threshold and almost fell to the ground.

He turned around and looked at the two Taoists.

The Taoist also shouted: "Please the county magistrate to send troops quickly to capture the demon and destroy the obscene sacrifice."

At this time, Liu Yitou's expression became extremely ugly.

——

There is a Taoist temple on Yunbi Mountain called Yunzhen Taoist Temple.

They are true Taoist priests who were issued ultimatums by the Honglu Temple of the imperial court, and they worship gods certified by the imperial court. Of course, these true Taoist priests are those recognized by the government and qualified to hold fasts and perform rituals among the people, rather than those with magical powers.

kind.

The Taoist priests in the Taoist temple often go down the mountain to do shopping or perform rituals. But today when they came down to the city to perform rituals, all they heard were some strange remarks.

People in the streets and alleys told stories about gods appearing to them and dragons descending from the mountain, but those who lived on Yunbi Mountain had never heard of them.

As a Taoist, I am naturally very sensitive to this matter.

Busy city streets.

The fat Taoist wearing a turban, black boots and white socks looked back: "What did they just say?"

The thin Taoist was stunned for a moment: "It seems to be talking about the appearance of gods?"

Fat Taoist: "God, where did the God come from?"

Thin Taoist: "How do you know?"

And when a wealthy family was doing rituals, just after the rituals were done, the wealthy family quietly came to the back and asked him.

"Have you observed the immortal who suppressed the dragon?"

"Our family wants to pay tribute to that revered god, but I don't know..."

Only then did the fat and thin Taoists know what the rumor was, but they naturally did not believe it after hearing the rumor, especially since this deity was obviously not among the gods and Buddhas worshiped by the imperial court.

Especially after hearing this rumor, it spread everywhere in the county, and even people in the villages outside the city began to flee the disaster.

Of course, they did not think that this was a real manifestation of the gods, but that someone was using the name of the gods to do illegal things.

The two Taoists were filled with indignation,

Good guy, this is a prostitute, how can you two see this?

"It must be an evil spirit worshiping evil spirits."

"How dare you claim to be a god without a royal decree?"

"I don't know where Xiaoxiao came from, using the name of the gods to deceive us in Xihe County."

"How can the two of us sit idly by and ignore these evil spirits and demons?"

The fat and thin Taoists shouted and immediately made a plan, so they came to the county office to report to the officials. According to the law, the county magistrate had the duty to destroy such obscene priests.

But when they came to the door, they had barely finished shouting a few words when they saw a fierce and strong man turning back to stare at them.

Although they didn't understand what was going on, the momentum of the two suddenly weakened.

"You...you...why are you staring at us?"

Later.

The strong man ignored their appeals because they had no real evidence. The two wanted to say something more, but they were pushed out by the officers on the side.

How could the fat and thin Taoist men dare to fight those guards who were as deadly and seductive as the ghosts of impermanence? They immediately left in dejection, but after turning the corner and sitting under the tree, they felt very angry again.

"No real evidence?"

"Then we'll find the credentials and show them."

How could a fat and thin Taoist man with such passion endure such treatment?

"have a look?"

"Of course I have to see it. I want to see if the dragon will come out, and what does the immortal look like?"

Since the god said that the mud dragons in the mountains will escape in these days, there must be no hypocrisy in this matter.

Whether it is true or false can be known at a glance.

Thinking of this, the two of them walked towards the outside of the city and set off boldly and courageously on the steps of justice.
