Chapter 009
Taurus City is an ancient city in Daliang Kingdom with a history of hundreds of years.
The city wall is seven meters high, and every inch of the city wall is made of hard stones chiseled from the mountains. However, the wall at the main entrance is built into a huge Taurus head, with two bulls staring straight ahead, revealing a sharp momentum.
The location of Taurus City has always been a place where military strategists must fight for. A huge moat was dug around the city. Unfortunately, the rivers in the moat have become drought at this time, and it has become a deep long ditch, and there are also traces of swords and slashing on the city walls. The depths are different, the old and the old are uncertain, and the lines are distributed in various places. From this we can also know that this city must have suffered more than once bloody battles.
From the vicissitudes and majestic momentum that emanates from the entire city, it can be seen that it should be a very prosperous city.
Under the influence of drought, the guards in front of the city gate stood listlessly on their posts, looking at the cracked earth on the ground, wondering what will happen tomorrow.
"Let's go, according to the information I received, this is a severely affected area. Fellow Daoist Zhang, I suggest you can establish a temple in this Taurus City, formally set up a statue of gods, and spread the name of gods. At that time, you will naturally get a large amount of incense and wishes."
Zhuang Buzhou said to Zhang Xiangyuan with a smile.
"Well, Zhang is just thinking about it. Zhenxicheng is the city of the city. I am not suitable for going to it for the time being. Staying in this Taurus City for a while and laying a solid foundation is the best choice. If the Red Locust God really exists, I need a large number of believers to provide me with incense and gather divine power."
Zhang Xiangyuan looked at Taurus City, nodded and said, "I plan not to go to the city first, but to go to the surrounding villages. The people there need my help even more. At that time, if necessary, we can meet in Zhenxicheng. If there is any news about the Red Locust God, contact me as soon as possible."
Although Taurus City is good, he is going to preach now, and the nearby villages are better places to go. Only by rescuing them can the benefits be maximized.
In other words.
The country people are so fooling.
It is easier to develop faith and gain the power of incense.
"Okay, then we'll see you in the future."
Zhuang Buzhou smiled indifferently and nodded and said.
This is a monk, with peers and separation. Gathering and separation is originally about moving with your heart. It is not about going on. Those who accompany you are only family and children.
Then, Zhang Xiangyuan walked towards other villages, and Zhuang Buzhou walked towards the city.
The guard at the gate of the city was absent-minded. When he saw Zhuang Buzhou going into the city, he did not stop him and allowed him to enter the city.
When I entered the city, I saw that this ancient city, which was once extremely prosperous, was filled with a lifeless aura. It turned out that there were very few vendors gathered on the roadside, and there was a sad lament on my face.
"Dangdangdang!!"
Just as Zhuang Buzhou was walking and looking at him, a young man in thick clothes and linen stood on the street, holding a gong in one hand and a wooden vertebra in the other, and was beating on the gong with a mission. The violent sound of the gong immediately attracted the eyes of the people, and many people even ran out of their houses, crowding the huge street for a moment.
"I heard that Taoist Master Qi Yun built a high platform here just to sacrifice to the sky and ask for rain. You said, can he really ask for rain?"
"If I could really ask for a heavy rain, that would be great. I haven't seen half a drop of rain for more than half a year. I just hope that there will be a heavy rain to relieve the drought. If this continues, we will not be able to survive anymore. Although we can get food from the other side, no one can hold on without water."
"Yes, the crops in the field are gone, and there is food traded on the other side. The belt is tight and can support you to survive. But if the water is gone, you will not be able to live this life."
Amid these comments, you can feel how strong the people’s expectations for the next rain are. The Taoist Master Qi Yun, who is now setting up the altar and requesting rain, has a little more eager desire.
"Dingling!!"
A crisp and pleasant sound of bells suddenly came out, suppressing the surrounding discussions. When many people heard the sound, they saw that on the high platform, Master Qi Yun held a bronze bronze bell in one hand and shook it quickly, attracting all the eyes of the people around him to the stage, and then stopped and put the bronze bell back on the altar.
After raising his hand to bow to the many people below the stage, he said, "I believe that all the donors in Taurus City should know that I am the one of the White Cloud Temple outside the city."
"When I was devoted to practicing Taoism on the mountain, I felt something and knew that the people at the foot of the mountain were miserable and the people were living in poverty. This time I came down the mountain because the drought that had lasted for more than half a year. I asked for a nectar for everyone to save the suffering of all people."
Master Qi Yun himself looked very good, and his words were righteous and immediately made many people in the audience grateful.
"Thank you, Xiansheng!"
"The Immortal Master is merciful, and I also ask the Immortal Master to use his power to seek the next nectar..."
"Yes!! Please grow up and show your mercy and use your supernatural powers..."
These people didn't care about anything else. When they saw Master Qi Yun's face was righteous and confident, they quickly began to beg, and the sounds were filled with blood from the cuckoo, which made people feel pity.
When Master Qi Yun saw the responders in the audience, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes without any trace. He stretched out his hands and pressed down gently. The people who had already focused on him immediately stopped begging and looked at him one by one. The transformation from noise to silence was strange but extremely natural.
"I can understand the desires of all the villagers and elders, but this magical power is unusual and magical power, and praying for rain is not an easy thing. It is far from reaching it with me and Qi Yunguan alone. This is my ashamed."
Qi Yun said, showing a lamenting expression. The change of expression was so fast that it was a little faster than Sichuan's face-changing technique. This sentence is not the point, but the important thing is actually the following words.
Sure enough, the people below immediately shouted: "Master Qi Qi, this time you are asking God for rain for our entire Taurus City. How can you bear it alone? What else do you need? Even if you speak to us, as long as the Master tells it, even if you sell it, we will find the things for you."
"Yes!! Master, please tell me."
