Chapter 116: It's Really the Same

Soon, the district governor and his entourage came to the hillside where the incident occurred, surrounded by many people who rushed over, with some buckets, flat poles and other things in their hands or beside them, and everyone was discussing with each other, but no one stepped forward into the woods.

"What's going on?" When the district magistrate arrived, he pulled over a townsman who was chatting with the people next to him, and inquired about the current situation.

"District Governor, you are here, we don't understand what the situation is now, that is, there is a tree inside that has been struck by lightning and has been smoking, but there is no sign of fire, and the tree is now intact, which is really confusing," the townsman who was pulled by said to the district governor simply, the words were as ordinary as chatting with old friends, and there was no awe or some other more serious distance feeling in it, and it could be seen that the relationship between the district governor in the town of the boy was handled very well.

"Is that so? Did anyone see what exactly happened?" asked the district governor.

"Yes, the old Zhang of the old Zhang family saw it, and the children of the old Li family, many people have seen it, and I don't have statistics on the specific people," the townsman who was pulled over thought for a while and said to the district governor.

"You go find someone who sees it and tell me what the situation was like," the mayor said to the townsfolk who had been pulled over.

"Well, wait a minute, I'll call someone for you," the townsman who had been pulled over quickly replied, and then walked in the direction of the crowd, and in a few moments pulled a dark-skinned man in his fifties.

"District Governor, are you looking for me?" the dark-skinned man asked the District Governor after he came over.

"Well, old Zhangtou, I heard what you saw at that time, tell me what was going on at that time," the district governor asked Lao Zhangtou.

"Ouch! District Governor, that situation just now is called magic! You know, I don't have anything to do every day, the children in the family can be independent, and then they raised me, now, but I think, I've been tossing around like this all my life, and in the end I don't do anything, and I'm so idle, so I think about coming out and decorating a few pieces of heaven and earth, don't you know, my farm work technology, that's not what ordinary people can do, it's just what to plant, you see, the first few fields are what I made out......" Lao Zhangtou said, the more he talked, the more energetic he became, but what he said seemed to be out of line with the problem.

"Ahem, Lao Zhangtou, talk about business, talk about business, the district governor is busy, didn't I come to hear you talk nonsense," the townsman who pulled Lao Zhangtou over next to him said to Lao Zhangtou, he looked at the district governor with some apologies, there were other people who also saw the scene at that time, but because he had a good relationship with Lao Zhangtou, he thought that it would be more convenient to call him over, so he went directly to Lao Zhangtou, but he was relieved to see that there was no unhappy expression on the face of the district governor.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you see I'm just used to nagging, hehe," Lao Zhangtou quickly apologized.

"It's okay, it's okay, Lao Zhangtou is famous for nagging in our town, tell me what happened at that time, I'll see what the situation is," the district governor said to Lao Zhangtou.

"Ouch, District Governor, that scene is really amazing," Lao Zhangtou sighed again.

"Okay, okay, the district governor knows it's amazing, hurry up and tell me what happened at that time," the townsman next to him told again, for fear that Lao Zhangtou would accidentally divert the topic again.

"Okay, okay, I remember, at that time, I was working in the field, at that time, this kind of weather, although it was almost winter, but you also know that in this cloudless weather, working in the field for a long time, being exposed to the sun, more or less will still sweat, so I walked from the field to the side and took off the thick clothes I wore in the morning, put it aside, just when I put the clothes, and then I looked at the woods here, to see if there were any acquaintances or the like, to say hello, but just like that, I saw a thunder, that should be called a dry thunder, snapped, and it was split straight down, my mother, I'm in my fifties, and it's the first time I've seen a thunderbolt that can be split without clouds, you say, is there something bad happening in our town, so God uses such a dry thunderbolt to warn those evil things?" Lao Zhangtou said in the previous outline, and when he finally said the evil things, he asked very quietly.

"If there is no thing, there is no thing, old Zhang Tou, don't think too much," the district governor said to old Zhang Tou.

"District Governor, don't say no, you know that a dry day thunder is nothing, but do you know that the dry day thunder hit a tree, what happened to that tree?" said to the district governor mysteriously.

"How's it going?" the district magistrate was also a little puzzled, although the townsman had briefly told him just now, he still didn't quite understand what it was.

"I was stunned for a long time after the thunder fell on a dry day, because I was shocked, and then I was a little scared, but there were other people rushing over, so I followed them into the woods to have a look, and then we saw that there was no change in the woods, and then there was only one tree that kept smoking, but this tree, there was no difference from ordinary trees, that burst of smoke seemed to come out of the tree, and then some people said that it would be okay on the outside of the tree, but the inside was burned, so someone simply cut off the skin of the tree a little, but it was all the same, no different from other treesSo we all wondered if there was something evil on the tree, and it was killed by a thunderbolt, but we ordinary people couldn't see it, only the smoke coming out of that evil thing," said the old man with a firm voice, his guess, or the guess of the townspeople.

"No, don't worry, our town has been safe and sound for so many years, how can there be any evil things, don't think too much, you," District Governor An stroked the suspicious old man's head, and then turned his head to some cadres who followed behind him and said, "You go and evacuate the crowd, since there is no fire or anything, so that everyone doesn't have to worry, what is the specific matter, I will go back here to figure it out, and then give everyone an explanation, now let's disperse first, and go home to do their own things." ”

"Okay, Governor, but let's leave a few people with you, I don't know what's going on inside," someone behind him said to the Governor.

"Well, okay, then leave two people with me to take a look, and then the rest of you will take care of evacuating the crowd, don't make any mistakes," the district governor admonished.

"Got it. The man behind him quickly answered.

After the division of labor, the district governor led two men who followed him through the crowd and then into the woods.

The woods were very quiet, probably because of a dry thunderstorm just now, there was no sound of insects and birds here, only the footsteps of the district governor and a few of them.

The tree that was struck by lightning was not difficult to find, because the tree was still smoking, and the district governor stood quietly in front of the tree, a little shocked and a little remorseful.

This tree is very familiar to the governor of the district, and the inscription of two words can still be faintly seen on this tree, which is the same tree that he carved when he was a child.

After seeing this situation, the district governor understood what the situation was, all this was just because he didn't believe in a high-ranking monk, and this situation only allowed him to believe in the old monk he had seen yesterday, he didn't have to doubt it too much, he was now able to determine what was in the cloth bag.

After thinking for a while, the district governor took out the cloth bag from his pocket again, opened the bag in the puzzled eyes of the two people next to him, and took out a circled yellow paper from it, and after opening it, it read: "Shenshi, South, thunder, wolf smoke as the number!"

"District governor, what is this?" The person next to him also came over, saw the contents of the note, and asked very suspiciously.

"It's okay, this is a bag given to me by a high monk, I didn't expect the prophecy in it to be fulfilled today," the district governor carefully put the note into the cloth bag, and then retracted it into his pocket.

If the district governor today encounters a strange illness or something very magical that he has not seen, he has reason to suspect that it is something planned by the old monk and Tang Lin, but the dry day thunder cannot be deceitful, as for why the dry day thunder appears, the district governor does not know, this answer may only be known to the old monk alone.

"This, this, how can there be such a master?" asked the artist next to him in some surprise.

"Well, there is, I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it," the district governor said with emotion, "Okay, it's okay, it's okay, but in order to reduce the suspicion and suspicion that this matter brings to everyone, I will ask the monk to explain your doubts in our town, I believe he has this ability, you go back and let people spread the news, the specific time, I need to consult with the monk, and then inform everyone at that time." ”

"Is it really okay here?" the person next to him confirmed to the district governor.

"It's okay, if there's something to do, you can just look for me," said the district magistrate with a smile and shook his head, he now believed that this might be something like an old monk's spell cast, but if it was so, he wasn't sure, but he preferred to believe that it was so.

After the district governor finished speaking, he turned around and left, although this is the place he aspired to when he was a child, but it only has the value of memory, and it does not have too much value for him to linger here.

Tang Lin in their temporarily rented house.

"Wood, it thundered here just now, it's amazing," Qin Ru, Lu Meiying, and Chen Pei, the three girls, walked in from outside the door, and said very strangely to Tang Lin, who was sitting in the hall with the old monk.

"Is there such a thing? I just thought there was an explosion or something," Tang Lin was also a little surprised when he heard this, but soon his eyes fell on the old monk who was still in a state of recuperation with his eyes closed.

"Master, this should be the content of the bag you gave to the district governor yesterday, right?" Tang Lin confirmed to the old monk.

The old monk didn't speak, just nodded slightly, which was considered to be an acknowledgement.

"Wow, master, you are so powerful, can you help me see what will happen to me in the future? Do you have money, live happily or not, and then what will happen to me in the future, can you tell me?" Lu Meiying was very surprised and ran to the old monk's side, shaking the old monk's arm and asked.

She found that there were such powerful people around her, and it was impossible not to be surprised.

"Ying Ying, how can you be like this!" Qin Ru pulled away Lu Meiying, who was reluctant, not to mention that the old monk was invited back by Tang Lin, even if it wasn't, it was unreasonable to rashly make such a disrespectful move to a senior monk like this.

"Hehe, Master Lu, the meaning of life lies in its variability, if you know what will happen in the future, then what is the meaning of such a life, you say, right? Moreover, my ability is not enough for me to predict everything, many things are just able to know some general trends, don't think too highly of me," the old monk said to Lu Meiying, probably because he had been with Tang Lin and the others for two days, and the old man in his mouth had become me, no longer the self-proclaimed in the temple.

"But people just want to know," Lu Meiying muttered reluctantly.

But there was no follow-up, because everyone didn't speak anymore, the hall was quiet, there was only some sound of breathing, and Lu Meiying was silent because she didn't get what she wanted to know.

After half an hour, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and soon a figure appeared at the gate, but it was the district governor who had just returned from the small hillside.

"Master, I am convinced, I am really convinced, I apologize for my disrespectful words and attitude towards you yesterday, and I hope that the master can forgive me for my ignorance," the district governor came in, and came to the old monk, and said to the old monk respectfully and apologetically.

Whoever puts such a magical thing on him, everyone will become the same as the district governor, after all, this ability is incredible, it is not a simple speculation, but a real prediction, in the impression of the district governor, he has never said that someone can do it to this extent.

"What are you talking about, the district governor, it's just some small foreknowledge, not something that can be handled, now that technology is so developed, this kind of thing is outdated, district governor, don't exaggerate these things too much," the old monk opened his eyes and said with a smile.
