Volume 2 Plane Battle, Chapter 303: The Price of Ignorance and Ignorance

After that, when the villagers sacrificed to the mountain god, the Taoist cast a spell to cause the mountain rock to collapse, killing many people! The mountain god was angry and severely punished his crime, but it was in the heart of the Taoist.

The Taoist came prepared, and he didn't know where to learn the method of binding immortals! So he set up a large array at the bottom of the cliff, and led the mountain god into the formation, trapping him in the array. The Taoists, on the other hand, practice in the mountains every year, forcibly absorbing the spiritual essence of the mountains to help them practice!

The mountain god of the Long Worm Mountain is the same as the mountain, and the loss is both loss and prosperity, and it is .....also degraded and becomes weaker and weaker!

However, the Binding Immortal Array cannot be driven by a mortal, so it is necessary to sacrifice a child every year to drive the formation with the blood of a child in order to trap the mountain god.

After hearing this, Wan Changgui realized the truth about the sacrifice of children! He shouted that the man was vicious and had done such a thing that hurt heaven and reason! and asked the old man how to save him, but the old man and the mountain god were still closing his eyes!

At this time, a voice came, saying, "You can try to wipe away some of the spells engraved on the ground, can this immortal array be broken?"

So Wan Changgui picked up a stone and erased some of the charms carved on the rock where the old man was sitting. But the old man didn't move, and the formation didn't seem to react! This made Wan Changgui anxious, and he desperately drew the spell on the ground there.

But for some reason, as soon as the spell carved on the rock is erased, a new spell will soon be revealed!

The old man said: "The man will come to the bottom of the cliff to visit after every sacrifice, and it will not be early today, he will definitely go back and rest for the night!

During this time, you can go and see if there are any Taoist masters and monks who are passing by, and if you can meet them, I will beg them to come and save me. Tell them that there will be a lot of thanks afterwards! If you really can't meet them, don't come back! I'm afraid that the Taoist will kill you when he sees you!

After listening to the old man's mountain god's request, Wan Changgui gritted his teeth and said: I will definitely find someone to save you, even if it is to kill me! He said goodbye to the old man and the mountain god, hid his daughter in a hidden cave, and told his daughter not to make a noise when anyone comes!

Only then did I slowly find a path along the bottom of the cliff and go up the mountain road. Before he could find someone to help, he met Luo Hongzi and the other three!

Luo Hongzi sighed: It should be the will of heaven, let us meet you! Hurry up and lead the way, let's go to save the mountain god of Changworm Mountain.

Under the leadership of Wan Changgui, the group came to the location of the mountain god. The old man and the mountain god suddenly saw that Wan Changgui had brought so many people, and he was also extremely gratified! There are still good people who fled without only caring about their own safety, but also found so many people.....

The old man took a closer look, and actually found that among the three of them, there was actually a Taoist priest who was good at Taoism and cultivation! There was also a white snake who had turned into a dragon at the level of a big demon.....

Luo Hongzi directly explained his intention to the old man mountain god, and in a snap of his fingers, he broke the sealing spell that bound him!

The old man thanked everyone and said, "Thank you for the great kindness of several people who helped me get out of trouble, but I will repay the great kindness of others!"

Luo Hongzi said: The mountain god is polite! If you have any requirements, just say that you can do it, and we will not refuse.

Old Man Mountain Shinto: It's very simple, after a while, the demon path will come to investigate. I just want you to stay out of the way for a while, and don't interfere in anything I have to do with that demon!

Luo Hongzi was silent for a moment and said: You are the master of this Long Worm Mountain, then we can only be guests and hosts!

So a few people came to hide behind a huge rock, just waiting for the evil demon to come and investigate. Soon after, he saw the man come down from the cliff, step on the cliff wall and walk down as if walking on the ground, and when he went down to the bottom of the cliff, he saw that the mountain god was still sitting cross-legged on the ground.

The guy didn't watch it seriously, and said in a non-disrespectful manner: "It's really embarrassing that the dignified long worm mountain god has become such an unlucky appearance! Why don't you recognize me as your father, I may be able to leave you a trace of spiritual essence to ensure that your divine consciousness is immortal!"

When the man finished speaking, he felt that he had insulted the gods, and his heart was happy, so he burst out laughing! Who knew that he suddenly heard a voice coming: "Even if I become like this, if I want to kill you, I will not have to do anything!"

The Taoist's laughter stopped abruptly and looked at the mountain god. Seeing that the chains had been broken and the formation had been destroyed, he was shocked.....!

Seeing this, the old man and the mountain god touched the ground with his hand, and the earth shook between the mountains, and suddenly countless mountains poured out of the flat ground, surrounding the Taoist! Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, the Taoist hit all the charms in his arms to the mountain god.

After a loud bang, the charms burst into several flames on the mountain god! When the Taoist saw this, his heart was terrified! Jumped over the rock wall and fled over the mountains!

The old man made a gesture, and the mountain collapsed suddenly, and the rocks collapsed, pressing the Taoist under the rocks, and in an instant it became a puddle of mud.

As soon as the Taoist died, Lingyun broke out of his body and returned to the cliff mountain. The body of the mountain god changed accordingly, turning into an old man with immortal wind bones! Everyone came out, and the previous scene was already in full view.

Luo Hongzi had taken action to stop the old man from killing the evil way, but when he turned his head and thought about it, after all, he had already agreed to the old man's mountain god's request! People do not stand without faith, and besides, this may be the inevitable end of the evil way, and his heart is relieved.

After talking for a long time, Wan Changgui also retrieved his daughter from the hidden cave. It's a scene of great joy!

The old man and the mountain god agreed to Bai Jiao, and after helping him inquire about Bai Jiao's sister, everyone left. After that, they accompanied the noble father and daughter back to their village.

Back in the village, Wan Changgui revealed to the villagers the true face of the evil Taoist! After hearing this, the villagers all regretted it! They should not have listened to the evil Taoist's demagogic words and killed so many children in vain.....

With the circumstantial evidence of Luo Hongzi and the court official Fang Xianlong, the accusation of the evil Taoist was confirmed! So the three of them also bid farewell to the villagers and returned to the land of the capital.

On this day, Fang Xianlong came to find Luo Hongzi again, and said: Do you still remember the Taoist chief, a few days ago, you helped the white-bearded old locust to treat the thousand-year-old locust tree?

Luo Hongzi asked suspiciously: Remember, what's wrong? Is something wrong?

Fang Xianlong said: This matter has nothing to do with the previous incident, but it can also be said that it is inextricably linked!

Oh, how do you say that?," Luo Hongzi asked.

Fang Xianlong also said: This incident is basically the same as the previous incident, but the result is different! According to the records of the file sent to me, I can roughly make such a judgment.

Luo Hongzi said: What kind of situation is it?

Fang Xianlong sighed and said: Let's go to the scene and have a look! So Luo Hongzi found Bai Jiao, and the two of them arrived at the village where the accident occurred in less than half an hour.

Standing at the entrance of the village, Luo Hongzi looked at the village called Xiaohexi Village, and said with a frown: "Ghostly, I'm afraid something ominous has happened in this village!"

Fang Xianlong asked: How did the Taoist see it? Why can't I see anything? Luo Hongzi did not answer, but walked towards the village by himself.

The three of them walked into the village and walked forward. Along the way, he met many villagers, all of whom were sluggish and wandering aimlessly! Fang Xianlong just wanted to go up to ask, but was dragged by Luo Hongzi.

Luo Hongzi cast a spell to open the "Heavenly Eye" for Fang Xianlong, Fang Xianlong slowly opened his eyes, and sure enough, he saw that the sky above the entire village was filled with a layer of black "ghost fog"! Fang Xianlong looked at it again, and was immediately frightened! I saw that every villager was carrying a "person" on their backs.

Fang Xianlong, who was hiding behind Luo Hongzi, asked: Dao Chief, what is going on? Why do the villagers seem to be haunted by unjust ghosts!

Luo Hongzi sighed and said: These people are possessed by ghosts, and their souls have long been dispersed by anger, and they are not saved!

When the three of them came to the village, they saw a severed old locust tree fall to the ground. Luo Hongzi sighed! Fang Xianlong said: What's going on?

Luo Hongzi replied: "The locust tree is the ghost in the wood, the wood genus, it is the tree that attracts ghosts, and the tree often gathers lonely souls and wild ghosts, and this locust tree is afraid that it is a thousand years old!

But now there are ignorant people who cut down the locust tree, the ghosts have no place to live, they can only attach themselves to people, the ghosts are too heavy, causing people to die, after people die, the corpses rot, these ghosts have lost their attachment, exposed to the sun, and they cannot escape the fate of extinction!"

Fang Xianlong shook his head and sighed: What a sin! Let's look to see if there are any people who have not been "hit".

After many searches and explorations, a sane person was finally found in a family who was not possessed by a demon! It turned out that the only "living mouth" was the only villager in the village who did not participate in the cutting down of the locust tree!

The reason for this is also very simple: First, this person is a talented person in the village, and he is also the only person who reads! First, he looks down on those money that exudes "copper smell", and first, he has a small jade Buddha that has been opened. That's how they survived!

Although he was also quite frightened, fortunately he had now eased up!

It turns out that the old locust tree in this Xiaohexi village is said to be thousands of years old! Every summer, the people in the village like to sit under the locust tree to enjoy the shade!

It is also strange to say, although the outside is scorching, but under the shade of the tree is unusually cool, and the outside is simply two worlds! Because the old locust tree has a long history and has gone through thousands of years without dying, many people think that the old locust tree has become a fine and there is a tree god inside.

Therefore, every New Year's festival, many people come to burn incense and worship under the locust tree, praying for the protection of the tree god.

It is said that there is a man named Zhang Dezhao in the village, who was an official outside, and one day Zhang Dezhao returned to the village and summoned the villagers to announce a major event, he was going to cut down the old locust tree. Build a restaurant on the location of the old locust tree!

So he found a master to help him see the feng shui, and the master went to his hometown to take a look at it, saying that the feng shui at home was not good! But the old locust tree not far from Zhang Dezhao's house is an excellent feng shui treasure!

If you can build a place there for business purposes, you can gather good fortune near the main house. And if you can keep the evil qi out of the main house, you will definitely be able to soar in the future!

So this Zhang Dezhao followed the advice of this master to remove the old locust tree and turn it into a restaurant. Because he thought that the old locust tree could not die for a thousand years, it must have something to do with the feng shui there!

But no one in the village agreed! Many people scolded him for cutting down a thousand-year-old sacred tree, lacking great virtue, and wanting to be punished! There was even an old man who came up on crutches to beat him, but was stopped by a few young men!

He smiled slightly and said: "I know that the old locust tree is a thousand-year-old tree, and I also know that everyone is reluctant to let the old locust tree be cut down, but have you ever thought about it, why is our village so poor?"

It's because the locust tree is unlucky, especially this old locust tree, which has grown so big for thousands of years, he blocks the wind and water!"

"Feng Shui, you turtle grandson are still an official?" the old man shouted to Zhang Dezhao angrily. "Yes, why is your family still so rich?" The crowd kept insulting Zhang Dezhao's voice.

Zhang Dezhao waved his hand to everyone and motioned for everyone to be quiet, but no one listened at all, and they were still scolding. "Anyone who agrees to cut down the old locust tree will give ten taels of silver per person" Zhang Dezhao suddenly said this key sentence!

The crowd was suddenly silent, ten taels of silver, enough for a family for a year!" "The last time I walked under this tree, I felt a headache, dizziness, and nausea, this tree can't really be a problem!"

"Yes, last time my son climbed a tree to play, he came back with a high fever, and he hasn't recovered for three days, so I guess there is something wrong with the tree. "My family has been poor for three generations, and it must have something to do with this tree, blocking wind and water, to be honest, I have already seen that this tree is unlucky!"

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, and at this time, the old man who scolded Zhang Dezhao stood up and said: "The thousand-year-old locust tree, our ancestors have climbed on this old locust tree for generations, rely on him to shelter, rely on him to cover, is it worth ten taels of silver in your hearts?"

Zhang Dezhao immediately instructed his subordinates and said: "The old man has no children and no daughters, and his life is difficult, give twenty taels of silver!" So the old man smiled and returned to the crowd with satisfaction.

The next day, the villagers came to the old locust tree with axes and knives, and those who participated in the cutting of the tree were given two taels of silver, who was not happy! Of course, such a good thing was attended by all the men, women, and children of the whole village, except for this show, of course.....

Zhang Dezhao arrived in front of the old locust tree and lit a hanging of firecrackers, which crackled. As the sound of firecrackers ended, Zhang Dezhao waved his hand at the villagers, signaling that it was time to start cutting down trees.

Although it was scorching outside, there was a cold wind under the tree, and the villagers who cut down the tree could not help but shiver.

Three more axes went down, and suddenly, the villagers were stunned by the scene in front of them! The old locust tree actually shed blood-red slime, which ..... The villagers began to hesitate a little! This old locust tree will not really become a sperm, don't suffer retribution!

"What are you afraid of, thousand-year-old trees are like this, they are recorded in these books, and they are not educated!" Zhang Dezhao looked disdainful, but in fact, he was also up and down in his heart. "How can the tree bleed? But don't have any problems!" Zhang Dezhao prayed secretly in his heart.

As soon as the villagers heard Zhang Dezhao say this, they relaxed their hearts and cut them down. There are many people and great strength, and in less than an hour, the old locust tree will be cut down and shaken down. "Come on, dodge the point, if it's going to fall, come to the east and push it together," Zhang Dezhao commanded.

The thousand-year-old locust tree creaked, and it had stood for thousands of years, but now it had to fall! The sound seemed to be a reluctance to give up the thousand-year-old light, and it seemed to be an accusation against the people of this village! It finally fell, and it made a loud bang.

In an instant, the sky was dark, and the wind was fierce. The temperature plummeted and the chill was biting. The original clear sky suddenly fell like night, and the villagers were stunned! Looking at this abnormal weather, they didn't know what to do, but that Zhang Dezhao ran away!

Suddenly, black gas burst out of the trunk of the old locust tree, and let out a piercing howl, shuttling and wandering among the villagers! Some burrowed into the bodies of the villagers, while others rushed towards the village.

Zhang Dezhao was running home with his legs, when suddenly a black gas rushed over and burrowed into his body. Zhang Dezhao was stunned, his eyes slowly blurred! The face was sluggish, and he walked aimlessly into the distance.

All of a sudden, there was the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling everywhere! These shapes were deeply looked into the eyes of Xiucai, who did not participate in cutting down trees. Therefore, he also fainted due to excessive fright! It was not until Luo Hongzi and the others came to inquire about the situation that he slowly recovered.

In this way, he can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and he escaped the tragedy of the whole village being wiped out! Fang Xianlong sighed and said: You should go to live in another village, this huge village, now you are the only living person!

After Naxiu learned the truth of the matter, he cried and left this Xiaohexi Village, where he had lived for generations! He had no choice, and no one would dare to live in this village in the future, it could be regarded as a complete waste!

Luo Hongzi said: I have dealt with the matter of this ancient acacia several times in succession, but the outcome is different each time! This also has a certain relationship with the ignorance and ignorance of the villagers, and I hope that such a tragedy will not happen again.

After that, the three of them returned to Beijing, and Luo Hongzi was also ready to accept the reward from the imperial court! On this day, Fang Xianlong brought a man in official uniform to Luo Hongzi's residence, saying that he had something to ask him for help.

The person wearing the official uniform was introduced by Fang Xianlong, and it turned out to be a patrol inspector and a senior member of the court! This person's name is Cheng Qianjin, and he was also the prefect of a state.

The Son of Heaven also heard his name, so he promoted him to patrol the imperial history and entered the court as an official. Holding the sword of Shang Fang to tour the place for the Son of Heaven, purging the official style, punishing the corrupt officials, and being deeply valued by the Son of Heaven.

Luo Hongzi wondered in his heart, what does this have to do with me! When he was wondering, he only heard Fang Xianlong say again: Lord Cheng actually came to Beijing to ask for medicine this time!

Cheng Qianjin didn't care about his image and face at this time, and walked straight to Luo Hongzi's side. Said: I heard Lord Fang say that the long magic power is vast, and it can cure that incurable disease! I came to ask the Taoist chief before, and I hope the Taoist can help me take a look.

After saying this, Cheng Qianjin unbuttoned his clothes and revealed his son. Luo Hongzi glanced at it and couldn't help but gasp!

I saw that Cheng Qianjin's arms, legs, and even the whole body were densely covered with tooth marks! And these tooth marks looked like snakes biting out of their mouths.....

Luo Hongzi looked at these strange tooth marks, frowned, and then asked how Cheng Qianjin's tooth marks came from. So in order to cure the disease, Cheng Qianjin could only explain the reason for the matter clearly!

It turned out that all this actually originated from a dream! It is said that Cheng Qianjin was ordered by the Son of Heaven to go to Laizhou to rectify the corruption of ink. On the way, Cheng Qianjin was a little apprehensive!

Because yesterday I went to the ancestral hall to offer incense to the ancestors, but unexpectedly the ancestral tablet fell inexplicably, and now I feel that the right eyelid jumps straight, is it not that this trip will be dangerous? Cheng Qianjin sat in the sedan chair, and his heart was inexplicably a little worried.

A few days later, I came to the boundary of Laizhou. Cheng Qianjin walked out of the sedan chair, and the prefect hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smirk: "Lord Cheng has come all the way from afar, and he has worked hard!"

Cheng Qianjin replied: "It's just doing my job, where the duty is, how dare you say it." ”

The prefect patted the horse again and said: "Lord Cheng is conscientious and hardworking, and he is really a model for me and other officials!" Other officials also nodded yes.

The prefect said: "Lord Cheng is tired of traveling and driving, I must be hungry, I have ordered a table of good food in Baihua Restaurant, for the adults to catch the wind and wash the dust, and I hope that the adults will enjoy the light." ”

When Cheng Qianjin heard this, he was a little annoyed! He said: "By all means! I heard that the locust plague in Laizhou has been raging recently, and the people are not able to make a living! How can we be extravagant and wasteful." Remember, the more we eat, the less people will eat!

We must always remember to care for the people of Li and share our worries for the Son of Heaven! ”

After hearing this, the prefect hurriedly said: "Master Cheng's lesson is that I will wait for this to return the banquet." ”

Cheng Qianjin said: "That's it, don't retreat." Presumably, the banquet has already been made, and it would be a waste to return it, so let's distribute it to the poor people!"

After a simple meal, Cheng Qianjin refused the prefect's suggestion to move into his mansion! Later, the local officials were asked to bring the relevant information on the use of the relief food funds distributed above in recent years, and began to investigate the corruption in Laizhou.
