Located at the foot of Anle Mountain, Shanxia County was originally supposed to be called Shanxia County, but later changed to Shanxia County.

This is a small marginal county in Anle County, which was originally inconspicuous, but since the disaster occurred last autumn, it is the county that has been the least affected in Anle County, so it is particularly prominent.

Shanxia County is close to the large mountain range of Anle Mountain, and the drought is relatively light, and more importantly, there is no locust plague here.

The overwhelming flying locusts swept across the border, eating up the land of Lingzhou, but Shanxia County was alone.

Everyone said that Shanxia County was blessed by the gods, so the locusts did not dare to fall, and the people of Shanxia County were even more determined.

Kongchenzi followed the trail of the locust swarm along the way, and gradually arrived in Shanxia County, where he discovered an abnormality.

In the distance, the mountains of Nuoda undulated, stretching endlessly, and there were peaks faintly towering into the clouds, and the smoke was shrouded.

"What a blessed land of spiritual mountains. ”

The Taoist rode a donkey and looked over, sighing that this mountain is no worse than the Basking Mountain, no wonder it can be famous in the Great Zhou, and even the entire Anle County is named after it.

The Taoist suddenly felt that this was a good way to promote fame, and when he went back in the future, maybe he should change the Laoshan Mountain to the Empty Dust Mountain?

The state on the left side of the mountain is called the state of Kongzhou, and the state on the right is called the state of dust.

A few more steles were erected to celebrate the origin and legend of the name.

In the future, no matter who hears the names of these two states, they will be able to remember the good name of the Empty Dust Daojun.

Kong Chenzi had a flash of inspiration, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that this idea was perfect.

Sure enough, it's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles.

Walking further into Shanxia County, there are people in all villages in the county, and there are various crops in the fields under the mountain.

It's just that as soon as the Taoist approached the village, he saw from a distance that at the entrance of the village, there were people shouting on the tower made of bamboo.

"Go, go, go! There is no food for handouts in our township, so go elsewhere!"

This man also had a gong in his hand, and if the Taoist dared to approach again, he would ring it.

The Taoist was so angry that he could only take a detour.

Checkpoints were set up in each village to block the entrances to prevent anyone from breaking into the village.

As soon as there was a stir, I saw the villagers rushing out with weapons, hoes, and sharp bamboos, and regarded the Taoist as spies sent by the Liukou mountain bandits to inquire about the situation.

You can only go all the way to the county seat.

The county seat is not much better, the three city gates are closed and blocked, and the other one is also heavily guarded and strictly checked.

However, far away from the city wall, the Taoist people heard the sound of gongs and drums in the city, as well as the thick smoke and fireworks, as if they were carrying out some grand sacrificial ceremony.

In the middle of nowhere, the donkey general jumped up, jumped over the wall, and fell towards the city.

Today is different from the past, the whole of Shanxia County is filled with a strong sacrificial atmosphere, and every household in the streets and alleys is holding incense burners, waiting at the door, as if to welcome the gods passing by.

When the Taoist led the donkey out of the alley, he happened to see a wooden platform that occupied most of the width of the street from the far side of the avenue.

Under the wooden platform are wheels, and on both sides are dozens of big men with bare arms and red belts pushing the wooden platform forward.

On the platform was a huge locust tied in grass, vividly pierced, with a row of high incense sticks in front of it, and the smoke was smoky.

It is more than ten meters high, such a height and size, coupled with the pious atmosphere of incense and worship, actually made this grass-piercing locust originally a little funny, but also became majestic and tall, with a bit of a god's posture.

"What is this? What are these people doing?" the donkey under the seat suddenly opened his mouth in surprise, he had seen worshippers of gods, worshippers of monsters, and had not yet seen worshippers of locusts.

A county citizen of Shanxia County next to him didn't know that it was the donkey who spoke, and thought that it was the Taoist next to him who was asking, so he immediately turned his head and looked at the Taoist.

He carefully looked at the Taoist, and saw that the Taoist did not look like a bad person, so he said: "You Taoist priest is from outside, right? This is the third time that we are sacrificing to the locust god in Shanxia County. ”

The Taoist also spoke: "It is this locust plague that has caused so many people in Lingzhou to flee and starve for thousands of miles, why do you still worship them." ”

The people of Shanxia County immediately turned solemn and became pious: "It is precisely because they do not worship the locust god that they have suffered the disaster." ”

"And because our Shanxia County worships the locust god, the locust god did not descend on our Shanxia County. ”

The people of Shanxia County are very sure, and it seems that this set has been said by many people and made the people of Shanxia County believe it.

The Taoist couldn't help but look at the big man who was pushing the statue of the grass-pierced locust god, the news should have been spread by these people, and the secret of why this locust could not fall on Shanxia County should also be on these people.

As the locust god drove closer and closer, people on both sides of the street knelt down, holding incense burners in their hands, and chanted in unison.

"Locust God bless!"

"Locust God bless!"

In an instant, people on both sides of the street held up their hands and greeted the locust god passing in front of him.

Until the other side of the street, in front of a shrine that had already been built, it was decorated with sacrifices and livestock.

The county magistrate of Shanxia County also waited here, greeted the locust god Fa Driving, and then took a document praying to the heavens and the locust god and read it.

"Shanxia County ordered Zha Yin to enlighten the heavens and enlighten the locust gods. ”

“......”

"Pray for the blessing of peace and calm in Shanxia County, and a peaceful year of disaster. ”

Suddenly, the people of the entire Shanxia County chanted together.

"Pray for the blessing of peace and calm in Shanxia County, and a peaceful year of disaster. ”

"Pray to bless my Shanxia County with calm ....... ”

At this time, a tall and powerful gray-clothed man walked out of the altar, shaved his short hair, took over the document from the county magistrate of Shanxia County, and began to carry out the entire ritual of worshipping the locust god.

"Huh?"

The Taoist suddenly felt that the aura on this person's body was somewhat similar to the Wutong master he had seen before, either the martial arts were in the same discipline, or they had some kind of relationship.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound in the distance of the sky, and the sound brought by the vibration of thousands of wings represented only one.

The swarm of locusts is coming.

The entire county residents of Shanxia County panicked, stood up one by one, and looked into the distance, their faces full of panic.

At this time, those shirtless red scarves tied around their waists raised the locust god magic drive and stepped forward in unison.

"Locust God bless!"

"No disaster, no disaster!"

With a loud shout, the flying locusts that were constantly rushing towards Shanxia County were so frightened that they continued to flee high in the sky.

It really flew over Shanxia County without falling.

"The locust god blesses, it's really the locust god bless. This is a real miracle in front of the eyes, which provokes the man next to him to kneel on the ground and prostrate continuously.

"Locust God bless!"

"No disaster, no disaster!"

The citizens of the entire Shanxia County shouted frantically as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

However, the Taoist can see clearly that the real reason is not those strong men who carry the locust gods.

It was the gray-clothed man standing on the altar.

As soon as the sound of the locust sounded, he sensed it from a distance, and then quickly took out a black jar with both hands.

As soon as the jar shook, something in it hissed, and the locusts in the sky seemed to be controlled, suppressing their instinct to devour everything, and flew away into the distance.
