Where the wind chimes sound, there is a god

Chapter 25 Thunder and Fire Feng Gua
When the warm and bright sunshine descends on the earth, all evil and filth will hide and retreat, and the light of the sun is the justice of heaven and earth.

Countless wails and cries were heard, and layers of mourning clothes were hung in the West City and the South City. The officers and soldiers checked the population of each household according to the household registration. Anyone with a mental illness was taken away and sent out of the city. The dead bodies were also taken away and cremated, and even the underwear was burned.

Every household in the city burned mugwort and wormwood leaves, boiled water, sprinkled lime, and wore white towels, and prayed to gods in the streets and alleys, praying for blessings to eliminate disasters and drive away plague.

Chen Beimo returned to his own yard, went up to the attic and fell asleep quietly.

When I woke up, feeling rested, it was already noon.

Hearing a loud commotion coming from the next yard, he got up and walked out, and saw that it was people from the Qi Mansion.

Chen Beimo's eyebrows twitched and he walked over.

When the five or six big men saw that he was coming, they immediately lowered their heads and kept quiet, and the noisy scene quieted down.

This was the aura he had gained from guarding the long street all night and having the support of the prefect last time. Needless to say, as soon as he came out, everyone present looked at him sideways.

"Aunt Zhao, what's going on?"

Chen Beimo asked as he looked at Zhao Xiaohai who was leaning against the door wiping her tears.

"Er Mo!" Aunt Zhao said hurriedly, "This bunch of evil servants want to buy my house by force. Although my house is a little small, it is also a good location in the city. Are you going to send me away for only eighty taels?
If you want to buy it, the price is two hundred taels, not a tael less!"

She took advantage of Chen Beimo's presence. Somehow, even though he was just a teenager, he gave her great courage and she doubled the price in one breath.

"Aunt Zhao, do you really want to sell it?" Chen Beimo couldn't help but ask.

"Alas, Ermo. Auntie is not as capable as you. Old Zhao can't do business without this business. We can just sell the house and go to the countryside to live with relatives and have some support."

Aunt Zhao sighed. In just a few days, she had aged a lot and looked frail. She was no longer the smart and capable yet stingy woman she used to be.

"Then let's say three hundred taels." Chen Beimo looked at the servants and said, "Tell Mr. Qi that this shop cannot be bought without three hundred taels.

If he wants the money tonight, he has to send it over. After tonight, the shop will not be sold."

"Ah, three hundred taels?" The leading servant was a little surprised, but still said politely: "Yes, yes, I will go back and report it right away."

As soon as the servant left, everyone dispersed. All the neighbors treated Chen Beimo with respect. In the eyes of the neighbors, Chen Beimo was no longer the second mo, but a big man who suddenly became mysterious.

Aunt Zhao hesitated and said, "Ermo, isn't three hundred taels a bit too much?"

Even she, who has always been greedy for money, was a little surprised by this amount, which shows that it is indeed a bit overpriced.

"It's okay. Mr. Qi is eager to get this shop, so he will naturally be willing to spend the money." Chen Beimo comforted him, "Don't worry, Mr. Qi won't dare to do anything rash now."

"I feel relieved after hearing what you said." Aunt Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. "If this house is really sold, I will take Haiwa to the countryside tomorrow."

"Is it so urgent?" Chen Beimo was surprised. "Or should we wait until the chaos in the city is over before leaving?"

"Forget it, the countryside is much safer than the city."

Aunt Zhao shook her head and said, “If it weren’t for your great skills last night, I’m afraid I would have ended up like Brother Wang’s family.

The countryside is still the best, it’s the root!”

Chen Beimo had no right to stop it, he could only say some nice words to comfort her. The second son of the Wang family had taken Wang Xiaomei away a long time ago, and they were planning to sell their house and find a small house in a small alley to take care of their younger sister and raise her.

The people in the city were in a panic, and the land prices naturally fell. In addition, the newly introduced people and vendors were so frightened after the night that some of them ran away.

The government said it was a plague, but how could the bloodshed last night be a plague? Even zombies are not this powerful.

Chen Beimo felt that the corpse transformation last night was very similar to zombies, but not quite, because zombies would not make human corpses mutate. So he could only call it a poisonous Gu person.

The strange whisper I heard last night was most likely some master casting a spell, able to cause dozens of corpses to mutate simultaneously across the city and outside the city. He is definitely not an ordinary martial artist, so I'd better be careful.

When Chen Beimo heard from his neighbor that the second son of the Wang family wanted to sell the house, he went to negotiate in person and successfully bought it for two hundred and twenty-seven taels.

As for Aunt Zhao's house on the right, sell it to Mr. Qi. This will also be a good opportunity to see what Mr. Qi is planning to do. It is better to let the enemy watch him in the open rather than in the dark.

He bought the Wang family's house in order to have a quieter environment around him. As his spiritual perception became more and more acute, even if he deliberately ignored the noisy sounds from the houses on both sides, he still needed a cup of tea to calm his mind.

The most taboo during cultivation is to be disturbed. As his identity and fame spread unstoppably, it would naturally attract more people to spy on him. In order to speed up his cultivation, he naturally had to create a good environment for cultivation.

Although the original house was large, covering nearly one acre, it was still not big enough in Chen Beimo's eyes.

He wanted to build a garden and courtyard, and draw water from the river and wells to turn Li into Kan. Although the original house could do it, it would not be enough to build a garden.

Speaking of the place for cultivation, Chen Beimo also understood more and more clearly that for those who practice cultivation, money, companions, Dharma, and land are all indispensable.

The "earth" here not only refers to the place for practicing, but also refers to the Qi realm of heaven and earth.

Qi is created by heaven and earth, and can be divided into various types according to mountains, rivers, climate and scenery, but in a small area it can be divided into many different types.

For example, Yunzhou, with the Central Plains Province as the center of the world, is located in the south, and is the land of Zhugong Lihuo. However, the flood of Yinghe River in Yunzhou City brought snow from the high mountains to the west, which contained gold and leap month Yin, transformed Li into Zhao, and melted Ren water without being strong, which was the most negative for the positive yin and yang.

In other words, Yunzhou is more suitable for practicing the Tianhe Yuling Kanshui Sutra than the cold places in the north. This is also the reason why Master Wang Xian chose to come here south after seeing the decline of his ancestral home and exploring many places.

Chen Beimo speculated that it might be due to the changes in the world and the differences in things and people that many parts of the Kanshui Sutra are no longer suitable for modern people to practice, which is why none of the Wang family's patriarchs for so many generations have been able to cultivate to the second level.

The essence of this technique is very profound. Chen Beimo also read a lot of Taoist orthodox theories of the five elements and yin and yang and figured it out bit by bit through his own practice.

Because he had no one to guide him and no one who practiced Buddhism to discuss with, he could only seek from ancient books, ancient methods and himself.

Chen Beimo once again went to Li Qisi's study and bought a lot of books. He even stayed in the study for most of the day and only found seven or eight books related to immortality and Taoist scriptures.

He has had a lot of free time these past few days, reading and practicing sword all day, and cultivating in the evening. The Kanshui true Qi in his body is also integrating into his skin, and his body is becoming lighter and lighter. It feels like the gravity he learned in his previous life is gradually weakening its pull on his body.

Of course, he didn't know where this world was, or whether the earth was flat or round, but he was sure that this was not the world of his previous life. The earliest dynasty could only be traced back to the ancient Zhou Dynasty, and after that, the Zhou Dynasty fell. The world was divided for thousands of years and was never unified.

There are only a few words about the ancient Zhou in the oldest books, and many historical records do not record it. Even in Li's study, there is no description of the ancient Zhou.

There has been frequent exchanges of officers and soldiers in the city in the past few days, but if anyone is found to be infected with the "plague", they will be immediately dragged out of the city and separated. The city is strictly guarded, and outside the city, there is a raging fire.

He could fool others but not Chen Beimo. He could see the flames and deathly aura rising into the sky outside the city at a single glance. It was obvious that corpses were being burned.

In fact, once you get this "plague", you will be infected by poisonous insects, which will eat your head and cause you to die. There is no hope of recovery.

People in the city were in a panic, but they could not stop the spread of the "plague". After another three to five days, the city was under martial law, and the inside and outside of the city were separated. No one was allowed to leave or enter the city.

It was not until the tenth day after the outbreak of the plague that the gates of Yunzhou were opened, and Prefect Fu personally welcomed the important figure sent by the court, one of the three superiors in the Yunshen Division among the Six Divine Divisions, except for the Director.

More than ten people from the Rain God Department entered the city, and the government notified the whole city that the adults from the Cloud God Department were going to worship heaven and earth and use divine magic to eliminate the plague.

The altar was set up at the intersection of Shanghua Street and Tongzheng Street in the city. People built the altar on the spot and prayed to heaven and earth.

Of course, ordinary people are not allowed to watch during the sacrifice, for fear that evil people might disrupt the spell.

Although Chen Beimo was curious about this sacrifice, he would not watch it directly. If there were any immortals among the people of the Rain God Division, he would be asking for trouble.

With his current spiritual perception, he can clearly sense the changes in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. If the people from the Rain God's Division really have any special abilities, they will naturally be able to feel it.

Chen Beimo waited quietly in the attic for two days. When he got up early on the fifth day of June, he saw some soldiers holding banners standing on the roadside in the streets. If he looked down from a high altitude, he could see that their positions had some kind of Nine Palaces Regular and Odd Formation, like the legendary formation.

The flags in these people's hands were of different colors, mostly red and yellow, with large and small words written on them. There was a main character on each flag, and the character for Xishui Street was "Yang".

There was something about the person from the Rain God that Chen Beimo was looking at, so he couldn't help but jump to the top of the attic out of curiosity to look down. He saw that the three or five streets around him were all filled with colorful flags fluttering in the wind, which was very beautiful.

"This is……"

Chen Beimo's eyes flashed slightly. This was the Thunder and Fire Feng Gua in the Book of Changes, also known as the Feng Gua.

Feng: prosperous, the king will give it, don’t worry, it’s best to do it at noon.

62: The barn is full, and the Dou is seen at noon. Going there will bring about a suspected disease, and there is trust in the matter, which is auspicious.

This hexagram is Li below and Zhen above, which refers to a scene of thunder and lightning, heavy rain, and all things flourishing. It is most appropriate to describe the situation in the city today.

At noon, he suddenly saw a fiery red halo rising in the city, and gusts of wind suddenly arose. In just one stick of incense, countless clouds gathered from all directions to surround Yunzhou City, but the sky was exposed in the center. The light of the bright sun seemed to have gathered in the city. The grand and bright sunlight illuminated every place, and the strong wind blew up countless flags. He suddenly heard a shout from afar: "Wind and rain gather, Li fire sinks, Gen earth is blazing!"

Chen Beimo was shocked. Even with the help of the formation, it was possible to change the existence of a city and dozens of miles of heaven and earth. What kind of terrifying cultivator was this?
Although the people in the city were ordered not to go out, they could still see this magical celestial phenomenon in their own courtyards or windows. The sun passed through the vast sea of ​​clouds from the ninth heaven and fell into the city. At this moment, it seemed as if the entire Yunzhou City had turned golden.

The people cheered for the miracle and knelt down to worship the celestial phenomenon. Some of the people had relatives who were poisoned by a Gu in their homes. In such a bright day, they were actually burned by the inexplicable flames and turned into black ashes that floated away.

The spiritual energy of the Li Fire between heaven and earth was extremely dense. Chen Beimo was burning all over, and the Kan Shui true energy in his body was as hot as boiling water. He quickly dodged back into the house, grabbed Beichen Jun and let it surround his body before dispelling the terrifying power of the Li Fire.

Looking up at this moment, the sea of ​​clouds in the sky was in chaos. As the wind blew, it vaguely became the shape of a mythical bird. Even ordinary people could see that this cloud looked very much like a mythical bird like the Phoenix or Vermillion Bird.

And in Chen Beimo's eyes there was indeed a divine Vermillion Bird soaring in the sky, circling over Yunzhou City with blazing flames burning all over its body.

His Kan water is the Yin position in the main palace, and it has been oppressed to this point. Those evil and poisonous creatures in the city may have no chance of survival!

Such celestial power was only displayed by one of the three superiors of the Rain God Division. If it were the chiefs of the six higher gods divisions, their power would be even more terrifying!
And the legendary national mentor is even more difficult to imagine.

This miraculous celestial phenomenon lasted only a quarter of an hour, but it was enough to suppress all the evil spirits in the city.

This reminded Chen Beimo of the magical celestial phenomena in his previous life. Could it be that they were also some formations set up by the masters of the mysterious sect to protect the country and the people?

"Rumble..."

The sky was covered with clouds, and the light was dim. In less than an incense stick of time, the sky turned dark. Thunder rumbled in the clouds.

"The sun is rising, the thunder is roaring, and the water is coming!"

Chen Beimo vaguely heard another distant shout. It was impossible for an ordinary person to shout from such a long distance. Most likely, it was the sound of Tao chanted by the superior using the mysterious method that could be heard so far.

As the order was given, heavy rain began to fall from the sky. Thunder and lightning struck the Yunzhu Mountain deep in the south, scaring all the beasts.

At the bottom of Lingze Lake, Yuanze couldn't help but curl up his body even though he was in the abyss of a hundred feet. He was so frightened by the mighty thunder that he dared not move.

Heavy rain washed over Yunzhou City, washing away all traces of uncleanness and evil. Yang water was warm in nature, moistening all things, and the vegetation in the city looked especially green and fresh.

On the altar in the city, twelve people from the Cloud God Division were sitting cross-legged on one side of the Bagua formation. On the central table stood a thin, middle-aged Taoist in a white robe. A pure white spirit bead was suspended in front of him, attracting mighty heavenly power. This person was in the heavy rain but was not wetted by any water, as if he were an immortal who was not stained by dust and rain.

A quarter of an hour after the heavy rain began, the Taoist gathered the spiritual bead with his hands and put it into his sleeve, then he regulated the true Qi that was vibrating throughout his body.

After a while, he opened his eyes, and couldn't help showing fatigue in his eyes, but he was still very imposing, and waved his hand and said, "Stop!"

The twelve people from the Cloud God Division immediately stopped their practice, slowly stood up and walked down the altar.

Prefect Fu, who was standing in the rain, stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Thank you, Boss Yunchi, for your help. This is a blessing for the people of Yunzhou!"

"You are welcome, sir. I am only here on the orders of the chief of the Rain God Division. I think this corpse Gu is the work of a great Gu master among the Miao people, and his cultivation is quite high. Can the magistrate control it?" asked Yunchi after bowing in return.

"The imperial court is still peaceful, I don't think this great Gu Master has the guts to enter the city. He can only resort to these despicable means to cause chaos. Now that Boss Yun is here, he is naturally not afraid!"

Prefect Fu sighed again, "It's a pity that I worked hard for several years to make Yunzhou City prosperous, but it was ruined by these foreigners."

"Don't worry, Prefect. In another year, there will be a big event in the court. By then, there will be no need to worry about Yunzhou City not prospering!"
