I am a fairy

Chapter 9: Obscene worship of evil ghosts?

the next day.

As the young and strong people from other nearby villages came to help, or to eat for free, a half-true and half-false rumor had spread among the villagers of Zhangjia Village.

While eating, everyone sat on the ground away from the wind and talked about this matter.

"Have you heard about the gods?"

"What fairy thing?"

"The gods have appeared, saying that the several dragons locked up in Yunbi Mountain have started to move. In the next few days, a mud dragon will break free and start causing chaos in Yunbi Mountain."

"I've heard that the dragon will show up in the next few days. The mountain will collapse. It will be so scary. It seems that God wants to take our lives, so he asked us to come here."

"The mountain is about to collapse. That must be the dragon that has escaped from the mountain."

"Which deity is it? How come I don't know?"

"It's by the river. Isn't that the statue we often see when we pass by?"

Upon hearing this, the villagers of Zhangjia Village immediately started shouting.

"Isn't that the deity that our Zhangjia Village has worshipped for generations? We still go there to worship during festivals. Did that deity show up?"

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

The men, women, young and old in the village still have great faith in the beliefs of gods and ghosts, especially this god, whom they all know and have even worshipped.

As they talked, they became more and more convinced that this was a manifestation of the gods guiding them. The uneasiness in their hearts faded away, and they started to think of other things instead.

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

"Oh no! If this is true, the mud dragon will flood our village. What will happen?"

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

Immediately, I saw one figure after another running home, taking out all the bottles, jars, tables, benches and other things that could be brought out of the house.

The problem that had been bothering Liu Yitou and the middle-aged scholar in long gown was solved in this way. No one made a fuss anymore, and everyone became united.

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

even.

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

As I walked down the street, I could hear other people talking about each other.

"The gods have appeared."

"Dragon?"

"Are you really going to leave? This is terrible."

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

"That's also a dragon!"

It was said that a god appeared under the river wall of Yunbi Mountain, and it was also said that a mud dragon was about to escape from Yunbi Mountain.

But who met the immortal and where the rumor came from are not completely clear.

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

"immortal?"

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

As we walked, we arrived at the gate of the county office.

But he saw two Taoists, one fat and one thin, standing at the door. He didn't know what they were going to do. Liu Yitou had something on his mind, so he didn't think much about it and continued to walk inside.

However, as soon as he stepped onto the stairs, he heard a loud shout from behind.

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

"There are obscene evil spirits in Yunbi Mountain that are bewitching the villagers, and there are also evil people spreading rumors and causing trouble everywhere. They must have evil intentions. Please send troops to arrest them immediately."

At this moment, Liu Yitou's foot, which had just stepped onto the stairs, tripped on the threshold and almost fell to the ground. He turned around and looked at the two Taoists.

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

At this moment, Liu Yitou's face became extremely ugly.
-
There is a Taoist temple on Yunbi Mountain, its name is Yunzhendao.

They are true Taoists who have been granted certificates of ordination by the Honglu Temple of the imperial court, and they worship the gods and immortals certified by the imperial court. Of course, these true Taoists are those recognized by the government and are qualified to hold fasts and perform rituals for the people, rather than those who possess magical powers.

The Taoist priests in the temple often go down the mountain to buy things or perform rituals, but today when they came down the mountain to the city to perform a ritual, they heard some strange remarks.

People on the streets talked about stories of gods appearing and dragons descending the mountain, but they who lived on Yunbi Mountain had never heard of such stories.

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

A busy street.

The fat Taoist wearing a crown and scarf and black boots and white socks looked back and asked: "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?"

The thin Taoist said: "How would I know that?"

While a wealthy family was performing a ritual, just after the ritual was over, the wealthy family member came quietly to the back and asked him a question.

"Have you worshipped the deity who suppressed the dragon?"

"Our family wants to pay tribute to that god, but I wonder..."

The fat and thin Taoists then knew what the rumor was, but they naturally would not believe it, especially since this immortal was obviously not among the gods and Buddhas worshipped by the court.

Especially when I heard the rumor was spreading everywhere in the county, and even people in the villages outside the city had already started to avoid the disaster.

They certainly did not think that this was a true manifestation of gods, but rather believed that someone was using the name of gods to commit illegal acts.

The two Taoists were filled with indignation.
My goodness, this is an obscene sacrifice. How could these two people allow themselves to see this?

"It must be an evil ghost."

"Without an imperial decree, you dare to call yourself a god?"

"I don't know where these scoundrels came from, using the name of the gods to defraud people in our Xihe County."

"How can we two just sit there and do nothing when we encounter such an evil demon?"

As the fat and thin Taoist priests were shouting, they immediately came up with a plan and went to the county office to report to the authorities. According to the law, the county magistrate was responsible for destroying such obscene sacrifices.

But when they arrived at the door and had just shouted a few words, they saw a fierce-looking burly man turning around and glaring 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?"

Subsequently.

The sturdy man ignored their request on the grounds that they had no real evidence. When the two wanted to say something else, they were pushed out by the officers beside them.

The fat and thin Taoists didn't dare to confront those deadly soul-collecting officials who were as powerful as the Grim Reaper, so they immediately walked away dejectedly. However, after turning the corner and sitting under a tree, they felt very angry again.

"No real evidence?"

"Then we will find evidence to show them."

How could the fat and thin Taoists tolerate being treated like this despite their passionate hearts?

"have a look?"

"Of course I have to see. I want to see if the dragon will come out and what the immortal looks like."

Since the immortal said that the mud dragon in the mountains will be freed in the next few days, we cannot be hypocritical about this.

You can tell whether it is true or false at a glance.

Thinking of this, the two of them walked out of the city, marching out with heroic and high-spirited steps for justice.
