191 The Heavenly Master descended to earth
Superstition is a way of thinking about things that are misunderstood. Especially when people are desperate for what they know, they are more likely to be gullible.
Especially in this era, many people have no cultural knowledge, and the theory of gods and ghosts is even more deeply rooted in the bone marrow, coupled with the sudden outbreak of the epidemic, the group of doctors are helpless, so people naturally think that ghosts and gods are doing things.
This team slowly walked in front of him, just on the same road as Liu Li Wa, he naturally followed behind the team, until he came to an open field in the city, this place was originally a market, there were many farmers selling some surplus grain and vegetables at home, it was the largest grassroots gathering place, and at this time the Taoist priests were also surrounded by some plainly dressed, nervous but extremely pious grassroots class.
The middle-aged Taoist priest held a copper bell, jingling, chanting words in his mouth, a peachwood sword in one hand pointed directly at the sky, looking like a master of the Tao, several Taoist children around him sprinkled spiritual talismans, shouted in unison: "Heavenly Master Linfan, eliminate demons and catch ghosts, save the dead and help the wounded, and help all sentient beings......"
This open field has been prepared for a few days, the tables are placed in the north and facing south, the two tung oil lamps will not be extinguished even in the cold wind, the three incense sticks are smoky, and there are several plates of tribute are rice steamed buns, and the grassroots methods cannot be compared with the rich families.
However, the Taoist priest didn't care much about this, the stars came to the altar like the moon, put away the copper bell in his hand, put the peach sword on the altar, waved his hands, waved the sleeves of his robe, and the two oil lamps suddenly swayed, and those believers surrounded her with a reverent face, and some women folded their hands, extremely fanatical.
The Taoist priest slowly closed his eyes and calmed down, everyone also held their breath, not daring to make a sound, Liu Li Wa stood outside the crowd and aroused curiosity, stopping to watch the excitement.
After a while, the Taoist priest opened his eyes, knotted his hands with the Dharma seal, and said loudly: "Good men and women, the epidemic has been rampant recently, harming our bodies, the poor Dao in the heart of compassion, last night burned incense and prayed, sincerely prayed, in exchange for the Nine Heavens Plague God dream, saying that the epidemic is not a heavenly punishment, but a ghost for the disaster, last night the Lord Zhengshen asked the poor Dao to point to the poor Dao and said, today the Heavenly Master went to Yaochi to go to the Pan Tao Festival, today at noon happened to pass through this place, if you are sincere, the poor Dao cast a spell and pray, please the Heavenly Master stay to subdue the demons and eliminate the demons, the epidemic here will definitely be solved. ”
Ooh...... Liu Li Wa almost laughed out loud, and finally saw what it means to speak better than to sing, as if listening to mythological commentary. The Heavenly Master passed through here on his way to the Pan Tao Festival? Did he go by car, and this is a stop? So is he taking a bullet train, and is the ticket a scalper ticket?
Liu Li Wa naturally didn't believe it, but the people around him who were ravaged by the epidemic and fell into extreme panic physically and mentally believed in the words of the Taoist priest, because the large-scale infectious disease in front of him was difficult to suppress, and there was no other explanation except for ghosts.
"Please do it, ask the Heavenly Master to descend the demons and eliminate the demons, and wait for me to wait for a piece of blue sky." Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, and someone took the lead in kneeling down and shouting in unison: "Heavenly Master, please." ”
Hundreds of people knelt down in the dark, the scene was very spectacular, the Taoist priest looked at it solemnly, a trace of secret joy flashed in his eyes, so he did it: "God has the virtue of a good life, and those who go out of the house from the poor Taoist side are even more responsible for doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, but Luo Tianzhen Immortal Master is going to Yaochi to go to the Queen Mother's peach event, if you miss the time, you can't enjoy the peach golden pill, if the Queen Mother blames this, who can afford it?" Of course, the Heavenly Master True Immortal is merciful and compassionate, crosses people in danger, and is kind to others, so naturally he will not worry about ordinary people such as you, but we can't delay the positive results of the Heavenly Master's cultivation because of our own selfishness. It would be better for you to show some sincerity......"
The Taoist priest said solemnly, quietly making a color towards the crowd, Liu Li Wa stood straight outside the crowd, some stood out from the crowd, so a little action can be seen clearly, at this time no one cares about him, only heard the crowd has long been ambushed 'nurse' shouted: "I implore the heavenly master to go down to earth to save us and other poor people from fire and water, ghosts and monsters are evil, our life and death are uncertain, the villain is willing to offer all his family wealth to sincerely invite the heavenly master to subdue demons and eliminate demons." ”
Before the words fell, a young man stood up in the crowd, in his twenties, even if he tried to put on a serious face, but still couldn't hide a trace of the breath of flow, he held a silver ticket in his hand, just got up, as if he didn't stand firmly, deliberately took it off, the silver ticket landed, and the people next to him were surprised when they saw the amount.
The young man hurriedly picked up the silver ticket, and said, "The villain offers a thousand taels of silver and asks the angel to go down to earth." ”
As he spoke, he held up the silver ticket high, and the silver tattoo was more than 1,000 taels of big characters in the right, which made people see clearly, many people gasped and were shocked, but thinking about this urgent moment now, it is uncertain who has died between the words, the epidemic is too terrible, life is not guaranteed, and the silver is all external to the body.
And swindlers take advantage of people's hearts to destroy wealth and eliminate disasters, deceive on a large scale, and make black money.
Someone in the crowd took the lead, and it was a huge amount of money as much as 1,000 taels, and other people also began to be moved, of course, the first to follow the trend was also a few childcare, this thirty taels, that eighty taels, for the poor people, are life savings, this kung fu old way said, the more you give, the more sincerity, maybe the angel will see your sincerity, in addition to catching ghosts and demons, you can also bless you to be promoted and rich!
Liu Li Wa watched coldly, it felt like watching a comedy, in addition to catching ghosts, the Heavenly Master also blesses people to make money, so how busy this Heavenly Master is every day!
He was open in his heart, but the other people were not good, one by one panicked, just asking for 'sincerity' to buy a peace, a few little Taoist children stepped forward with a bowl in their hands, good men and women these two taels, this money, put all the silver on the body into the bowl, it seems that they are all small money, but they can't stand the number of people, here are one hundred and ten people, there are many and few, everyone has a share, and the income is very high.
After receiving the money, the Taoist priest's spirit is more sufficient, and the sky is beautiful, the dark clouds in the sky have been gloomy and gloomy, revealing the scorching sun above the sky, it happens to be close to noon, good men and women kneel and worship on the ground, the Taoist priest holds a peach wood sword and points to the sky, four Taoist children put the bowl on the altar to show sincerity, the sun shines on the bowl, bursting out of silver light, all the silver light, very attractive.
The Taoist priest is full of spirit, the light of the silver has plated his face with a layer of silver, seeing this thing, the fairy can not stand steadily, the Taoist priest took the spirit rune wooden sword, immediately began to practice, ignited the spirit rune in his hand, the ashes are all over the sky, the sparks are scattered, the mouth is full of words, and the heart of Liu Li Wa, who sings, continues to 'worry', suddenly, the Taoist priest knelt down with a bang, looked at the sky and kowtowed, and the head door slammed on the ground, and sold his dead strength.
Everyone looked moved, and when the Taoist priest stood up, the Taoist boy had prepared a copper bowl and poured it full of liquor in front of everyone, and the Taoist priest took out a paper tie with hands and feet from his sleeve and put it on the side of the big copper bowl, not far from the fire candle, only to hear the Taoist priest shouting piously: "Please come down from the heavenly master!" ”
With his shout, everyone immediately looked up, only to see two oil lamps suddenly burst out of the sparkling fire, brilliant, and what is even more unexpected is that the inch-high paper man on the table actually moved by himself, slowly stretched out two arms, as if to pick up the copper bowl, at this time the Taoist priest took off a hairpin from his head, and gently stroked in the copper bowl, the bowl full of wine was magically divided into two from the middle, the middle was empty, everyone widened their eyes and held their breath, only to hear the Taoist priest said loudly: " Everyone, please see, the Heavenly Master has descended to earth, lit the divine fire, drank the tribute wine, and the evil spirits rampant here will be punished! ”
