Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 297 A rainbow appears over Laoshan Mountain. Are there really gods in the world?
Staring at the phone floating in mid-air, both the three girls and the family were dumbfounded.

"Speaking rudely and insulting the elderly and bullying the young," Gu Zhao said calmly. "Although the crime does not warrant death, it should serve as a warning."

Upon hearing Gu Zhao speak, everyone present turned around and looked at the group in the pavilion, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief, while the three women's eyes were filled with fear.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Gu Zhao sent the phone, which had been hovering above the three women's heads, flying off towards the sea with a whoosh, leaving three afterimages.

Among that large family, several middle-aged people gaped, feeling their worldview utterly shattered, while an old woman next to them immediately knelt down, exclaiming, "A deity!"

The next moment, a foul smell wafted over, and one of the girls was so frightened that she wet her pants, while the other two girls' legs went weak and they all collapsed to the ground.

"Wow!"

The little boy and girl, however, didn't really understand; they only felt that Gu Zhao was incredibly powerful, having frightened the three fierce girls with a single move.

"Sect Leader?" Daoist Huaiyi and Daoist Taixian also looked at Gu Zhao, not expecting Gu Zhao to perform such a magnificent display of divine power in public.

“Many people in Berkeley know the truth, and some mages have even come to China to investigate,” Gu Zhao said with a smile. “On the contrary, because the two countries are too far apart, not many people in China believe it.”

“In that case, it won’t hurt if there are a few more rumors in the country.” Gu Zhao nodded, then looked at the two children. “You are both very brave. One of you is brave enough to point out the mistakes of those who do not follow the rules, and the other is brave enough to protect your family.”

"To commend your bravery, I'll give each of you a small gift." Gu Zhao smiled slightly, then patted the gourd, and two afterimages flew out of the gourd's mouth, each hanging around the neck of one of the children.

Everyone stared intently and discovered that the wooden plaque was strung with a red rope and had unfamiliar Taoist runes carved on its surface.

This wooden plaque is also a product developed by the Daluo Palace. It is made of sandalwood, with the Tiangang Talisman carved on the front and the Vajra Xuanlu carved on the back. Its power is slightly inferior to the Golden Gang Bracelet, and it is supplied in limited quantities to devout pilgrims in the Changping Prefecture.

Gu Zhao's gourd had a lot of space inside, and it was also filled with some odds and ends produced by the Great Luo Palace for emergencies. He never expected that he would use it for the first time here.

Seeing the new pendant suddenly appear around their necks, the two children turned to look at their parents, wondering if they could take it off.

The two couples were so astonished that they almost nodded their heads in gratitude, pleading, "Quickly say thank you!"

The two children turned around and said, "Thank you, Uncle!"

Gu Zhao, “…”

"Call me brother!" Gu Zhao pointed to himself with his finger and corrected him seriously.

This remark made the old Taoist priests chuckle and relaxed the atmosphere. The parents of the two children smiled, and even the three girls were no longer so afraid.

"Thank you, brother!" the two children readily agreed.

"Hey!" Gu Zhao nodded emphatically, then his gaze shifted to the three girls, making them shudder and tremble so much that they couldn't even beg for mercy.

"Be mindful of your manners when you're out in the future," Gu Zhao said calmly.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"I know, I know!"

"I've got it! I've got it!"

The three girls nodded repeatedly, like chicks pecking at rice.

Gu Zhao snorted, then looked at the old Taoist priests, "Let's go somewhere else." Master Taixian said, "How about the backyard of Taiping Palace? There are no tourists there."

"Okay." Gu Zhao nodded, then waved his hand, and the fruit, tea set, and even the stove on the table disappeared instantly, stored in his gourd.

The next moment, Gu Zhao flicked his sleeve again, and a rainbow suddenly appeared, drawing a graceful curve from the pavilion, its other end winding around the mountains and disappearing to the north.

The rainbow enveloped the pavilion, its seven colors dazzling the eyes, making everyone present unable to open their eyes. But when the light dissipated and they opened their eyes again, the pavilion was empty!

……

A low-altitude rainbow appeared over Laoshan!

A mysterious event occurred at Laoshan: a rainbow fell into Taiping Palace. Do immortals truly exist?

My roommates said they encountered immortals in Laoshan!

The next day, several rumors circulated online, but only one netizen happened to capture a fleeting rainbow, which was then questioned as being generated by AI.

However, in the comments section of the relevant videos, many netizens testified that they also saw a rainbow, and several tourists who were visiting Taiping Palace at the time swore that they saw a rainbow fall into Taiping Palace.

However, the area where the rainbow landed was a Taoist residential area where tourists were prohibited from entering, so no one had any firsthand information.

However, a note on a certain platform was linked to the Laoshan Rainbow incident.

My three roommates went to Laoshan yesterday, and they've been acting strangely ever since they got back. One of them told me they encountered a deity there who gave two magical treasures to two children before turning into a rainbow and flying away!

The families of the two children who were given the sandalwood plaques kept silent when they got home, keeping the plaques close to their children's bodies and never revealing a word to anyone.

The three girls were different. Although it was too embarrassing to talk about, they didn't dare to tell anyone, much less post it online to accuse the gods of smashing their phones, but...

Girls, who can keep their mouths shut? Especially when it comes to something so shocking!
So a girl told her roommates who hadn't gone home with them the day before, and the roommates, who didn't believe her, posted it online as something unusual, which happened to coincide with the rainbow incident.

Yes, of course, some people also accused her of trying to gain attention by associating with the trending topic.

However, not long after, netizens from Mongolia came to help.

"There may really be gods in the world. Last time a mine collapsed here, it was the gods who helped rescue the people."

"They're not gods, they're Taoist priests! Many of the people rescued from the mine accident went to Taoist temples to burn incense afterward, but they wouldn't tell us if we asked them, saying it was a secret. My dad was one of their coworkers, so that's how he knows all this."

"Yes, yes, they were Taoist priests. My dad was helping out at the accident site. Apparently, he saw two old Taoist priests there, but he was too far away to see them clearly."

"Everyone upstairs is talking nonsense. This mine collapse accident is not serious at all. It's just that someone is covering up the incident, bringing in some Taoist priests to create a mysterious topic and divert attention, right?"

"Huh? Wasn't it because we developed a high-speed tunnel boring machine that we were able to rescue them?"

"You're just spreading rumors, ignoring the contributions and sacrifices of those rescue workers?"

While some rumors, some true and some false, were circulating online in Shandong Province, Gu Zhao had already led several Taoist priests back to the Daluo Palace.
