Chapter 1: The Birth of the Son of God
At the southern foot of Mount Meru in the fairy world, the towering Yingjian tree has been leafy but fruitless for thousands of years, and the goose-shaped leaves are plated with pale blue streamers, like the Milky Way pouring out. Suddenly, two dots of light flashed on the trunk of the tree, and then the whole tree sprouted a few buds like a spring breeze, and all of them bloomed brilliantly in an instant. When the flowers have just bloomed, they are like late autumn suddenly coming, and the flowers are colorful and flying all over the sky in an instant. After the petals fell to the ground, they smoldered like velvet, and in an instant the ground was burned to spots, and in some places even melted the seal between the fairy world and the human world into a large hollow.
In the city of Baozhou.
Clouds and winds are raging, and the busiest streets are no longer filled with pedestrians, and shops are closing their shelves to escape the impending storm.
At this time, it is the rainy season in the middle of summer, and it is not unusual for it to rain every three or five days. What is amazing is that today's wind and rain is different from the past, there are dark clouds as black as ink within a radius of ten miles, but above the Jiangfu, there is a fiery red cloud!
"Quick, go and invite the midwife again, no matter how much silver, I will give it to the master!"
Jiang Shao, the lord of Jiang Mansion, is already a person who is not confused by the old age, and there are no less than seven or eight ladies and concubines in the mansion, but there is nothing to do. This time, Mrs. was pregnant, and it became the most important event for the Jiang family. Master Jiang was happy in his heart, and the gold and silver spent were like flowing water, even if he was still a gold man, it was enough.
Originally, everything went well, until three days ago, Mrs. Jiang suddenly launched, and more than a dozen famous doctors and midwives invited by the family failed to let the child land safely, and gradually had a difficult birth. Old Man Jiang's anxious eyes were about to bleed, but he really couldn't help anything except to invite more Langzhong midwives and send the thousand-year-old wild ginseng soup into the soup to hang his wife's life.
was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and the housekeeper Jiang Gui suddenly came to report, saying that in front of the gate of Jiang Mansion, dozens of Taoists had somehow gathered, and they kept saying that they wanted to see Master Jiang.
"When, don't make trouble for me again, okay?" Jiang Shao wiped the beads of sweat that kept coming out of his forehead with a soaked handkerchief, and his heart was like numbness. Jiang Gui knew his master's temperament and temperament, and muttered cautiously, "I heard the old people say that the woman has a difficult birth, or the bad fate in the previous life is not over, and there may be something dirty to blame, I can't say that these Taoists can help." ”
Jiang Shao frowned, there was no other way at the moment, but to treat the dead horse as a live horse doctor, it was great, just give those Taoists some more silver. Thinking of this, he waved his hand at Jiang Gui and said, "Go and please, just say that Master Ben will see them in the front hall." ”
There were a total of forty-nine Taoist priests from the gate of Jiangfu, and when Jiang Gui went to invite, only one Taoist who was dressed in a black Taoist robe, with white beard and hair, single eyebrows and thin eyes, and a bit of fairy wind and bones, came in with him. Jiang Gui peeked at it, the Taoist robe worn by this person was just an ordinary fabric, but when he walked and swayed, it was fierce, as if there was a fairy wind under the robe, and he suddenly felt a little more believing, secretly thinking that maybe this person could save the lady and the little boy who had not yet landed.
"Poor Dao is the head!" When the Dao man saw Master Jiang, he was not polite, and said straightforwardly, "It was not the original intention of the poor Dao to come to disturb today, but it was just that the disciples saw that the heavens were different, and they knew that a divine son was born in your mansion, but they were stopped by evil spirits, so they came to help one or two!"
"Oops!" Jiang Shao was surprised and delighted when he heard this. The happy thing is that this Taoist said that the lady in the womb is the son of God, and the surprise is that if it is really as the Taoist said, there is an evil obstruction, I am afraid that it will be difficult to keep the safety of his mother and son.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shaozai didn't care about his identity, he knelt down in front of the Taoist with a "plop", hugged his thighs with both hands, and cried and begged, "Daoist help, my Jiang family has been passed down for nine generations, and when I came here, I married a few wives and concubines, and I didn't have this child until I was over forty." If the Taoist can save the lives of his mother and son, I, Jiang Shao, am willing to repay the Taoist with all my family!"
The man stretched out his hands to help Jiang Shao up, and said in a low voice, "Master Jiang is serious, my senior brother came here, and he had a fate in his previous life, so he should help." Moreover, the birth of the Son of God to benefit the common people is even more righteous. Master Jiang, time is running out, please take me to meet Mrs. Zun!"
The delivery room is bloody, and it is not a place for men to go. But at the moment of life and death, Jiang Shao couldn't care so much. He personally led the way in front and introduced the Taoist into the delivery room.
At this moment, the air was filled with a thick and terrifying smell of blood, the mother-in-law and the girl were all pale, and the woman on the bed was already soaked in a pool of blood, almost lifeless.
"Let irrelevant people and others withdraw, and the poor Dao must cast a spell immediately!" The Dao man made a quick decision, and a few blind mothers-in-law were just about to argue a few words, but they were already pushed out by Jiang Shao, and closed the door with his hand, and sat on the steps. At this moment, all his hopes were placed on this Taoist. If he can't save his wife and children, he doesn't want to live!
At this moment, the wind was raging outside, the sky was dark, and countless candles were lit in the room, reflecting the shadow of the man on the window lattice. The sword was waved, and the people gathered outside watched as several black shadows flew up and down the window lattice, fangs and claws, extremely hideous. The man was not timid, and he did not flinch, holding the sword and sharing life and death with the black shadow.
A thunderbolt sounded overhead, and Jiang Shao couldn't help but shiver. At this moment, the people outside the window suddenly shouted loudly, "It's done, it's done, those black shadows have been cut down by the Dao Chief!" Jiang Shao staggered to stand up, and a lightning bolt fell, splitting on the old tree in the courtyard, stirring up countless powder fragments!
At the same time, a baby's cry sounded, and the red cloud over Jiangfu contracted violently, and finally became the size of a baby's palm, and in full view of everyone, it entered the delivery room through the wall and disappeared!
Since this cry, it was the clouds and the rain dispersed, and suddenly the glow was shining, gathering above the Jiangfu, and there was a rainbow half a zhang wide, which was a wonder! And in the dark, after the glow, there was a voice like a morning bell and a dusk drum that said, "The Son of God was born and saved the common people, you need to worship solemnly!"
This day is the ninth day of the fourth month, and in the eighteen years since then, every day on this day, the people in Baozhou City have been worshipping in temples or at home with incense and praying for the safety and success of the Son of God.
For this matter, Jiang Shao was quite proud. Some people say that this is the ancestor of the Jiang family to accumulate virtue, so that there will be such a strange thing as the birth of the son of God in his house, and it will add luster to the lintel of the Jiang family. Some people also say that Jiang Shao has always liked to visit Zen and worship Buddha, maybe God was moved by him. It's just that whether this god son is in vain or not, I want the people of Baozhou to tell you!
