Early the next morning, when Xu Yan, who got up early, visited his master, he found that the old Taoist priest was still asleep, so he tiptoed out, turned around and prepared breakfast. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The mountain gods are angry, natural disasters are coming, the gods are angry and resentful, and there is no harvest!

Amazing rumors, from a group of Taoist priests who had only arrived in Linshan Town the day before, after inquiry, people learned that those Taoist priests were actually masters of the Taiqing Sect, so for a while, the news about the anger of the mountain god spread throughout the town like lightning.

Linshan Town is a small town on the border of the whole country, almost every household is farming, the climate of the whole country is warm like spring in all seasons, it is very suitable for the growth of field seedlings, and there are few natural disasters over the years, but for some reason, since the new emperor ascended the throne, the whole country has been in drought for many years, I heard that some villages and towns have long been out of harvest, not only the great drought, but also the locust plague is raging, causing countless displaced people, and even there are rumors that the child is easy to eat.

Because Linshan Town is located on the outskirts of the mountain range and there is a small river outside the town, there is no need to worry about drought, but locust plagues have occurred several times, especially last year, a locust plague almost destroyed nearly half of the fields in Linshan Town.

The people were deeply touched by the terrible locust plague, and the locusts that hit like a strong wind could not eat people, but could make people starve to death.

In a small town that is not rich, food has become the top priority in the hearts of the people, and most of the people are ignorant, the most believe in the legends of gods and monsters, as soon as they heard that the wrath of the mountain god is going to bring a catastrophe, the people are all panicked, especially some old people, kneeling in front of their own doors and crying, begging the mountain god to calm his anger.

If it was a rumor spread by others, it would not have such power, but the name of Taiqingjiao is too big, and it is already among the first-class sects in the martial arts world, the righteous sect, and the Taiqingjiao, which faintly claims to be the state religion, and the contemporary leader is the current national teacher.

The sudden rumors, combined with a vision of thousands of birds flying together, finally penetrated into the hearts of the people.

Even the birds in the mountains are fleeing with their families, isn't that a sign of a catastrophe?

It happened at noon when 10,000 birds flew together, and Xu Yan, who was feeding the pigs at the time, also saw it clearly, others thought that the birds were taking refuge and flying away, but Xu Yan knew the truth about the 10,000 birds flying together.

The place where the vision occurred was the same hillside he had passed on his return to Linshan Town yesterday.

Someone deliberately created an illusion!

In the vegetable garden, Xu Yan blinked, a trace of doubt flowed in his clear eyes, he also heard the news of the wrath of the mountain god, but Xu Yan never cared about the legend of gods and monsters, when the story is heard, if you really believe it, unless the big spider crawls out of the belly of the mountain.

The trick of deceiving the people cannot deceive the real people with hearts.

In Linshan Town, in addition to Xu Yan's legend of the wrath of the mountain gods, there are also people who sneer at those so-called Taiqing disciples.

In the Cheng family, a scholarly family that only moved to Linshan Town six years ago, an energetic old man was sitting in the main hall drinking tea.

The Cheng family is not a big family, but the background is definitely not shallow, the words and deeds of the master's family, the scattered furnishings in the courtyard, and even the profound calligraphy in the study, all show a strong atmosphere of the superior.

"Grandpa!"

Outside the hall door, along the gravel-paved road, the butterfly-like girl walked lightly, ran to the old man in a few steps, and said hurriedly: "Grandpa, the news about the wrath of the mountain god is spreading more and more in the town!" ”

A girl in a navy blue dress looked fourteen or fifteen years old, with bright eyes and bright teeth, a fair face, and a bookish atmosphere between her beautiful eyebrows, but her expression was a little anxious, she recalled the news she had just heard in the town, and said: "Those Taoist priests claim to be under the Taiqing Sect, saying that if they want to calm the anger of the mountain gods, they need a great ritual of law, in order to show their sincerity, every family in Linshan Town must contribute money and efforts, not only that, but they also said that they want to elect a pair of boys and girls to worship the mountain gods." ”

The old man who tasted the tea, when he saw his granddaughter before, his eyes were full of love, and when he heard the words of the boy, the old man's hand that grabbed the teacup suddenly clenched, and then slowly let go, and gently put the teacup on the table.

"My little girl has grown up, and she always likes to ask about some new things, grandpa is old, I can't control you, you are everyone's best girl, if you run so crazy again, grandpa will send you back to your parents."

The old man's eyes were still full of love, but in the depths of his eyes, there was a surging anger that no one noticed.

The old man of the Cheng family is named Cheng Yu, he lives frugally on weekdays, has excellent popularity, not only speaks decently, but also is very knowledgeable, and the villagers in the neighborhood respect this old man Cheng very much.

The name Cheng Yu is naturally unrecognizable in a border town like Linshan Town, but if it is placed in the big **** capital, the meaning of this name is so heavy that it can command tens of millions of people to live and die.

The left minister of Puguo six years ago, Cheng Yu, Cheng Pengju!

No one knows why a generation of prime ministers lived in seclusion in Linshan Town, let alone what happened six years ago, so that this old man, who was above 10,000 people under one person, has been gone for six years, and has never asked about the world, and what he does every day is only to fiddle with flowers and plants, practice calligraphy, or teach his granddaughter.

The girl who lives in Linshan Town with the old man is the descendant of the Cheng family's family lineage, and also the granddaughter of Cheng Yu, called Cheng Linyun, don't look at the age, she has long been knowledgeable, but the young man's heart is lively, and when she sees some injustices, she naturally wants to refute it as much as she can, and when she heard her grandfather say that she ran crazy, she suddenly pouted, and said with some grievances: "Wan'er didn't run around, but the movement on the street is too big, and she can hear it clearly at home." ”

The old man smiled, pointed to the empty teapot, and said gently: "Bring a pot of tea for grandpa, we will return to Beijing in a few days, and grandpa will not have time to care about you crazy girl." ”

The pouting girl added water sullenly, the hall was quiet for a while, and the old man sitting on the chair became more and more profound, and in his left hand, he tightly grasped a bright yellow brocade, and he could vaguely see the pattern of auspicious clouds and cranes.

It was a holy decree, a holy decree ordered by the Holy God to reinstate his officials, which should have been delivered three years ago, but it was only delivered by someone three years later in the morning.

"Too Puritan, living sacrifice...... National teacher, you can't destroy my country! ”

In the deep courtyard, the old man's roar could no longer be suppressed, like the low roar of a lion, which was the anger and helplessness of those who deceived the people.

"Boys and girls?" In the backyard of Chengyunguan, Xu Yan, who had just come back from the street, scratched his head, and he was a little ignorant of the news he heard, and he said to himself: "The sacrifices are all dead, isn't it enough for three animals, do they want to sacrifice the living?" ”

If you really want to sacrifice a living person, no matter what others think, in Xu Yan's cognition, it is not a Taoist priest at all, but a demon.

The intermittent coughing sound in the room interrupted Xu Yan's guess, and he hurriedly ran in, and the old Taoist priest had rarely sobered up.

"Master......" Xu Yan came to the approach of the old Taoist priest, and stopped talking.

"People who are too puritan, let's start asking for money and people." Xu Daoyuan coughed a few times, sat up, and asked weakly, "Did they mention boys and girls?" ”

Xu Yan nodded, his face was not very good-looking, and the old Taoist priest smiled bitterly, and said: "Pit and coax, threat and intimidation, first to convince people's hearts, so as to promote the doctrine, and then use thunderous means to rein in the sect, crude tricks, vicious scheming, this, this is the world......
