chapter 158 This is a superstitious incident
"San Lang is here, San Lang is here."
Gao Sheng and the old man appeared in the overcrowded village ancestral hall together, and they were warmly welcomed by all the villagers.
Of course, there are exceptions, that is, the four brothers and sisters-in-law of the Gao family.
However, all the villagers in Xiahe Village do not regard the four of them as their own villagers, firstly because the four of them are usually too much, and secondly, they sell the owner of Xiahe Village to prove that they are the same as the owner.
The villagers in Xiahe Village are surprisingly consistent in their attitudes towards the four brothers and sisters-in-law of the Gao family, and they are all in the ground.
They didn't know that the four brothers and sisters-in-law of the Gao family would immediately face a greater crisis.
Seeing Gao Sheng appear, Mura Zheng and several village elders stepped forward to give a salute, saying that they were looking forward to the stars and the moon, but they were looking forward to him.
The earth-shattering noise that occurred last night made several village elders and village members restless.
These village elders and village bosses are all old farmers in the village, and since the beginning of autumn, God has not been able to drop water, and now it is deep winter, and not even a single snow has fallen.
Such abnormal weather already made the village elder and the village feel extraordinary, and last night there were more than ten thunders on the ground in a row, this strange phenomenon made them have to think about superstition.
Therefore, this morning, the village households were gathered, and they planned to work together to think of countermeasures, and as for repairing the river embankment, they could only temporarily suspend work.
A village elder sighed to Gao Sheng: "Such a strange vision, I'm afraid God reminded me to wait, repairing the river embankment, and I missed the river god's major event, I'm afraid this river embankment will never be repaired again!" ”
The remaining village elders and the village leaders all nodded, thinking that the village elder's words were good.
The surrounding dealers are also talking.
"If it weren't for San Lang to repair the river embankment, how could it attract thunder from Lei Gong in the deep winter?"
"San Lang repaired the river embankment for the sake of me and other villagers, and it is not an exaggeration to offend the gods, even if the river god is offended, he is an old man, and I am afraid that this river embankment cannot be repaired."
"Who says it's not, the thunder of the winter is very weird."
"You don't know, I heard that last night's thunder bombed on the stone mountain of Butcher Zhang's house in Shanghe Village, and even half of the stone mountain was blown up."
"Thunder Fury, how can we mortals do it?"
“……”
The discussion of the dealers reached Gao Sheng's ears, making him helpless and ridiculous, ignorant and ignorant.
But he was prepared for all this.
The explosion of gunpowder will cause panic among the farmers who do not know the truth, and superstition is the best way for him to cover up the gunpowder.
He still learned all this from Chen Shuozhen, an anti-thief and demon woman, and in this era, the superstition that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people cannot be eradicated at all.
Gao Sheng wanted to hide the gunpowder and not cause trouble to himself, so he could only use superstition to guide the thinking of the people, so that the gunpowder he had to use dissipated in the sea of superstition.
At this time, several village elders and village leaders were also discussing with a worried face, if it weren't for the village boss's insistence, several village elders would probably let the matter of repairing the river embankment stop.
Seeing that everyone's opinions could not be unified, the village said: "San Lang repaired this embankment for the sake of me and other villagers, which is a good thing for the present and for the future." Something happened at the moment, how can we stop it, let's ask Saburo how to say it first. ”
The village elders all nodded yes, Gao Sheng is the proprietor of Xiahe Village, and no matter how big or small things are, his opinion should be the main thing.
The village was busy with Gao Sheng, so he said: "San Lang, you are now the lord of Xiahe, and we can't discuss this matter without a result, and you, the man from Xiahe County, will take a charter, and I will do it." ”
Gao Sheng had a polite conversation with the village and the village elder, but the village and the village elder tried their best to let him make up his mind, he looked helpless and said with a smile: "In this way, then I will take the idea." ”
"San Lang is the lord of the river, and it is up to San Lang to decide the big and small things in the village."
"San Lang, you are a man from Xiahe County, so don't be polite."
“……”
All the villagers, village elders and village leaders persuaded him one after another.
Gao Sheng's face was modest, but he thought in his heart, and now things are coming true step by step towards what he had planned earlier.
This guy said aloud to everyone in the ancestral hall with a serious face: "As far as I know, such an abnormal sign of celestial phenomena, you should ask a Daoist master to calculate the bad luck, so that you can know whether the thunder was bad or bad last night, and come up with corresponding countermeasures, so as to benefit one party." ”
The village chief and the village elder nodded one after another, and both said: "San Lang's plan is very good, and it should be the safest plan now." ”
All the dealers were also gossiping, but they all agreed with Gao Sheng's proposal.
Gao Sheng sighed slightly, and said with a look of embarrassment: "But this Dao Master is not easy to find!" ”
All the villagers, village elders and village bosses all shut up when they heard him say this, and they all fell into deep thought, trying to find a "Dao Master" from their heads.
At this moment, he saw the third aunt come forward and said to Gao Sheng: "San Lang, my aunt knows an old master who has attained Taoism, and she showed me the house last year." ”
Before Gao Sheng could answer, he saw the young man from the Lin family stepping forward, and said: "Third aunt, you said that the old mage I know, after showing you the house last year, he also said that your house hit an evil spirit, and asked you for a lot of money, but it's a pity, after showing the house to your family, he fell into the river and drowned, so get the old mage, how can he not even count his life as a drowned ghost?" ”
"Haha-" The villagers laughed, and the third aunt blushed for a while and shouted: "Laugh a lot, since the old mage showed my family, you see, isn't my family having a good time this year?" ”
The village is shaking their heads one after another, and a dead mage is also talking about things, it's useless.
It's okay for the farmers in Xiahe Village to know some of the great gods, but it's not okay for them, the villagers, to know some Dao masters.
During this period, how can ordinary villagers afford to invite the god-woman and the magic stick that has been passed down by word of mouth, let alone know each other?
Therefore, in addition to the introduction of the third aunt, other dealers also came forward to introduce the goddess and god stick they knew, and all the other dealers who suffered losses broke the identity of the liar, but there was no result.
In the end, even the village elder and the village were introduced, but none of the "Daoist masters" who could take on the great task appeared, so all the villagers, village elders and village leaders all looked at Gao Sheng with expectant eyes.
Gao Sheng couldn't help but laugh in his heart, it was very smooth, this is the effect he wanted.
So, he made a gesture to the villagers, village elders, and village leaders who were all present, and then said: "Since all the fathers and villagers can't find a master who has attained the Tao, San Lang knows one here." ”
All the villagers, village elders, and village leaders looked at him in surprise, they had been watching Gao Sheng since they were children, and they really didn't know that Gao Sheng knew Master Dao.
But it's also to blame them for being lonely and unheard, at the beginning, they never thought that Gao Sheng would soar into the sky and become a man in Xiahe County.
This is a lord personally appointed by the emperor, and it is not necessary to know some strange people.
The village was in a hurry and said to him: "Then Lao Saburo will invite this Taoist master to come to this village to have a look, eliminate disasters and solve problems for the benefit of the villagers, and the villagers will make up for the necessary expenses." ”
Several village elders also scolded him one after another, and also said, "Without further ado, San Lang will go and invite this Dao Master." ”
The villagers looked at him with blank eyes, Gao Sheng felt a great responsibility, raised his hand and returned the salute to the village, and said: "So and so go and invite this Dao master, the required degree is naturally a certain Xiahe County man to come out, how can there be a reason for all the fathers and villagers to come out?" ”
These words of buying people's hearts immediately made the villagers all applauded, and the village Zheng and several village elders bowed and thanked him frequently, which made the Gao brothers and sisters-in-law who were mixed in the crowd with jealousy......
