Chapter 908
Many times, if you want to establish authority in a place, you first have to break your faith.
There is a dragon king temple on the edge of Yanzi Rock, and the incense in the temple is prosperous. Every year on the third day of March, a large number of believers will come here, begging the Dragon Lord to give him a year of good weather and good weather.
Even the official will organize sacrifices at this time, and the crowds of people at the temple fair are not lively.
Every year when it comes to the temple fair, it is an opportunity for the old Taoist in the temple to make a lot of money.
The smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River are hazy, and the spring rain is scattered everywhere in spring. However, every March 3rd, God gives the dragon lord a lot of face, and the sun is shining in the sky, sweeping away the gloom since spring. This year, it was three days earlier, and there was no nasty rain and fog.
Early in the morning, some people came to occupy the venue to catch the temple fair. There are many pilgrims, and there are naturally many business opportunities. Many poor people in the neighborhood came to sell their crops with their burdens, or home-woven straw sandals, tigers made by women, etc.
The Taoist priests started from midnight and burned incense in front of the Dragon King Palace. Smoke billowed from miles away can be seen here, and it's so lively.
Li Hao was wearing a long shirt, a goose-winged hat on his head, and thin-soled fast boots. The short hair on his head is covered, and anyone who looks at it will call him a handsome little Langjun.
It's just a pity that I limped when I walked, and many people regretted it. shook their heads one after another, saying that they had ruined this good skin.
Li Hao didn't care too much, since he broke his leg, for a long time, the doctor told him that he couldn't walk in the future. Later, Dr. Li Shen's automatic surgery made Li Hao better.
Being able to use a wheelchair without being able to use a wheelchair was already beyond Li Hao's expectations, and being lame was nothing. Even if he is lame, Old Man Shi is still willing to marry his little granddaughter to him.
Today is a temple fair, and it is also a place where Li Hao carefully prepares to show his prestige.
Entered the Dragon King Hall with a few minions, and it was full of people. Many people held incense in their hands, bowed to the dragon lord, begged for the wind and rain in their mouths, and some shamelessly begged the dragon lord to keep him eating, drinking and having fun for the rest of his life.
The table was full of offerings, and on top of it were three animals. The pig's eyes were half-closed, and it was obvious that he was a little deadly.
"Grandpa! Aren't the three animals available for royal sacrifices? Why are the three animals used here? "Li Hao is a good boy, as long as he doesn't understand, he will ask for advice from learned people, and Shi Kefa is precisely the one who is asked.
A sentence of grandfather made Shi Kefa smile so much that he couldn't see his teeth, glanced at Li Hao with great satisfaction, pointed to the three animals and said: "Since ancient times, the three sacrifices have been a great sacrifice, and there is a bad habit of using people to sacrifice in ancient times.
In the Han and Tang dynasties, cattle gradually became the main force of labor in the fields. Therefore, the official family issued a ban on slaughtering cattle at will, so that it later evolved into not killing cattle at will.
As a result, cattle became a high-end commodity that could only be used by royal sacrifices.
Although we also have a tradition of not killing cultivated cattle, we do not prohibit the consumption of beef cattle. Therefore, it is not illegal for people to slaughter cattle. ”
"Oh! Thank you grandpa for your advice. Li Hao bowed to the ground, fully demonstrating the desire of a diligent junior to learn. also fully satisfied, Shi Kefa's vanity of being a good teacher.
After taking two steps, I saw the merit box in front of the door. I don't know what those Taoist priests think, the merit box is made of lacquered wood on three sides, and the outward side is actually made of glass.
You can clearly see the coins thrown inside, and you can often see the glittering silver light in a pile of copper coins, and even the occasional glittering gold light.
There are constantly believers throwing money into the merit box, as if the more money they throw, the better the weather will be this year.
Li Hao saw that there were gold coins in it, and his eyes almost popped out, he didn't expect these old ways to be so easy to make. Opening a temple fair is comparable to the tax of a county.
No wonder, when clearing the acres. The report said that Daomen and Buddhism were the two largest landlords in Jiangnan. And because of the large number of believers, Taoism and Buddhism are actually tax-free.
Even if Li Xiao is in charge of the world today, Yang Sichang has no intention of changing. The reason for this is that many officials are actually followers of Buddhism.
For the Buddhist gate or the Taoist dojo, they all have an attitude of turning a blind eye. After all, there are so many things that we ask for gods and Buddhas. For example, to be promoted to become wealthy, such as to enjoy wealth forever.
"Could it be that these people really think that the more money they throw, the dragon king will bless them?" Li Hao looked at the merit box with some confusion, and turned back to ask Shi Kefa.
"Huh! It's just a fool and a fool. Shi Kefa stroked his beard and shook his head.
"Shut up! If you don't respect the Dragon King in the Dragon King Palace, do you know what kind of disaster it will bring to the people of Jinling? The Taoist priest guarding the merit box was furious.
Nima! Lao Tzu's most important day of collecting money, where did two unfamiliar bastards pop up.
"Oops! How to talk like this, the dragon lord will blame. An old woman spoke Wu Nong's soft language.
"Kowtow to the Dragon Lord and admit your mistakes, otherwise Lao Tzu will beat you all over the ground to find your teeth." A young man began to roll his arms and net his sleeves.
For a while, the entire hall was full of voices asking the two to kowtow and admit their mistakes. The sound was so loud that it almost lifted the roof.
"Huh! If the dragon king collects money, the wind and rain will be smooth, and if he does not collect money, disaster will befall him. Isn't the Dragon King a corrupt official who uses his power to extort the people? Li Hao smiled and spread his hands towards the Taoist priest.
"You're ......!" The Taoist priest poked his finger at Li Hao's nose, so angry that his facial features were distorted.
"You, yes, that's you. I just heard that you have come to ask for a son. Please, the dragon king is in charge of sending the son? How come I haven't heard of it? If you need a son, you go to your husband. If you haven't given birth for many years, you can find a doctor, and it will be useful to find these dragon kings, bodhisattvas, Buddhas, or something?
And this one, you're an official. If you look at your outfit, do you pray for blessings on weekdays? When you encounter something, you come to the gods, can it be said that the gods also know what my boss advocates now, and serve the people? ”
"Shut up!"
"Knock him out."
"Yes, beat him!"
For a while, the crowd was furious, if it weren't for the dozen or so guards around him, Li Hao would have been knocked to the ground by now, and had been trampled on by countless big feet.
"You are disrespectful to the Dragon King, it will not rain this year, and you are guilty of causing a great drought. Folks, this person is playing tricks on the Dragon King. There will be a drought this year! The Taoist priest glanced at Li Hao hatefully, and the fierce light in his gloomy triangular eyes swept by.
If Lao Tzu doesn't do anything, he can lead these believers to beat you to death with a single word.
Li Hao saw that the believers stepped forward one after another, trying to make a move. "Hey" "Hey" smiled, and bowed his hand to the angry people around him.
"Fellow villagers, he said that the Dragon Lord is angry, and there will be a big drought this year without rain. If I can make it rain in a moment or three, then what can I say? Li Hao pinched his waist and looked at the Taoist priest.
All of a sudden, the people stopped talking again, and they all pointed and poked and whispered.
"Could it be that he's also a warlock?"
"If you can ask for rain, you are also a person with great ability."
"Looking at the younger age, isn't it the old gentleman behind who made a move?"
"I also want to look at that old gentleman's fairy wind bones, a group of high-ranking images."
"Hmmm! Could it be that you're here to smash the field? ”
"I think it's pretty much the same, just watch the excitement."
The crowd of onlookers talked a lot, but no one stepped forward to make a noise.
There is such a bustle inside the temple, and the people outside the temple are surrounded by three layers of water inside.
"Oh, could it be that the two of you are also from my Dao Sect? In the lower dragon and tiger mountain, the Qing Palace is a gate, and the king is at the same place! Suddenly, a voice sounded, Li Hao followed the prestige, and the crowd automatically separated an alley to the left and right.
An old Dao with a Dao crown wearing a Dao robe and a dust whisk in his hand walked out of the crowd, and saw Li Hao and Shi Kefa also made a mockery.
"If you are not a member of your Daomen, you can also ask for a heavy rain." When Li Hao saw Lao Dao, he still had an underbeaten expression, looking at Lao Dao with his hands behind his back, and didn't take him to heart at all.
"Oh! Is there such a thing? Poor Dao wants to see it! Wang Chu looked at the two men in front of him, and he was sure that he had not seen them.
"What if we beg for rain?" Li Hao asked with a smile.
"For a moment or three, ask for a heavy rain, and give whatever you want. As long as there is something in this Dragon King Temple, it will definitely satisfy you. But what if you can't ask for a heavy rain in a moment? ”
In fact, the people who don't believe in gods the most are precisely these people who are said to be the closest to the gods. Wang Chuyi kept a heart, always emphasizing a moment or three.
There are some clouds in the sky today, and this is Jiangnan's favorite spring with rain. A sudden heavy rain is entirely possible. But when it rains heavily, it's a bit difficult. At least in Wang's opinion, it is somewhat difficult.
"Well, if you can't ask for heavy rain. I'd rather donate you fifty thousand silver coins, how? Li Hao stretched out a slap in the face.
"Oh my God! Fifty thousand silver coins, I heard you right. ”
"I didn't expect this little brother to be so rich, I don't know where he came from."
"Wow! It's so handsome, I like the domineering president. ”
……!
Wang Chu frowned, fifty thousand silver coins. Rao is also a rich party, and this money really surprised him.
Looking at the young man in front of him again, he looked like he had just emerged in his twenties, and it seemed that his legs were still a little disabled. Looking at the old man standing behind him, it was clear.
"This old man, does what he said count?" As soon as the king was sure, this person was here to smash the field. The old man standing behind the young man looked like a fairy wind and bones, looking like a person in the Dao Gate.
It's just people who don't know when they offended.
Wang Chuyi was born in the Qing Palace on Longhu Mountain, and he thinks that he is also the ancestor of the world. Someone dares not to give themselves face!
If you coax it today, not only will you not have to mix, but you will also lose the name of the Qing Palace on Longhu Mountain.
"Naturally, it counts, my child said 50,000 silver coins, that is 50,000 silver coins. The old man gave him a guarantee! Shi Kefa stood with his hands behind his back, and his tone was unquestionable.
"Okay, that fellow Daoist, please!" Wang Chuyi stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.
"Someone, send a signal." Li Hao snorted, and immediately a guard ignited the Sky Monkey.
"Squeak!" "Smack!" There was an explosion, and the sky exploded with a cloud of smoke.
Two miles away, I saw this cloud of smoke. Immediately pushed the shells into the three anti-aircraft guns!
"Tom tom tom ......!" The three anti-aircraft guns fired at the sky and the sky.
These are not ordinary shells, but shells with dry ice in between. Exploded in the clouds of the sky, blowing up clouds of white smoke.
All the people held their heads high as they watched as strings of cannonballs burrowed into the clouds and exploded.
Good boy! This is in ...... Slap God in the face?
Wang's face was distorted, and now he probably guessed who the two opposite were. Who can use cannons at will in Jiangnan except for the handsome brother.
Damn, the Li family is rich in the world, how can they still get along with a Taoist priest of their own.
No wonder, the people who carried it out of the ancestral court of Longhu Mountain didn't care. With such a family background, the ancestral court of Longhu Mountain has to bow his head when he sees others.
Today, if I win or lose, I lose and lose, but I don't know what this young master wants.
Hopefully, he doesn't want his own life.
A series of shells exploded, as if a series of firecrackers had been set off in the sky.
After a series of explosions, nothing happened.
"Can it rain?"
"That's it, don't fool people."
"Fifty thousand silver coins, just lost."
"The time hasn't come yet, so let's see."
"Little handsome guy, I'll support you."
The onlookers whispered, and Wang Chuyi held his head high and looked at the sky. Although he knew that he would lose today, he was also curious, if he hit God with a cannonball, it would really rain?
Beat God to tears?
It didn't rain for a long time, and Shi Kefa was a little anxious, but when he saw Li Hao with his hands behind his back, he looked confident. Shi Kefa was not in a hurry immediately, and the worst case was to pay 50,000 silver coins to others.
A little Taoist priest, I don't believe that he really dares to ask for it.
Just when everyone's necks were sour, thinking that the handsome little brother was bragging. Suddenly, there was a thunderclap in the sky, followed by lightning and thunder, and the rain poured down like a pour.
Li Hao stood in the rain, and the lightning illuminated him in an instant, and the purple fork in the sky was like a shrine.
"Little immortals!"
"Little Immortals!"
The believers saw the prayer for rain with their own eyes, and this little immortal did not set up a Dharma platform or recite mantras. Just standing out of thin air, I can actually ask for rain. It can be seen that he is definitely a person with high mana.
Li Hao would not be so stupid as to be drenched in the rain, and rushed into the hall in two steps. Pointing to the foolish men and women, he said, "If you worship him, you might as well worship me."
What a dragon king, it's all nonsense. The gods and Buddhas in the sky are all illusory illusions. Li Hao grabbed a point and began to attack the Heavenly God Buddha.
Words of great rebellion spurted out of his mouth, and the hearts of the believers below were shocked.
"This little Langjun, I don't know what you want." As soon as Wang Chuyi knew, today was planted. I just don't know that for a person as big as Mao to find his own head.
