Text Chapter Seventy-Nine: Spells Flood the Sky
So, that night, there was such a scene on Lingyun Mountain:
In the yard of every house, a pigeon suddenly appeared, and after circling in the air three times, it actually landed.
Curious people began to stare at this pigeon, in fact, it was also an extremely ordinary pigeon, but when people looked at the pigeon in their hands carefully, they found that the pigeon's wings were written with these words: "The sun and the moon are good, and the lotus flower changes hands." ”
Everyone was amazed to see such a thing.
"What do you mean?"
"Yes, could it be said that the lotus flower is destined to change hands in the will of heaven, that is to say, the position of the Zhong family cannot be maintained. ”
"Yes, yes, in this case, the will of God cannot be violated. We should really do something about it. ”
In this way, everyone began to talk about it.
So, the pigeons suddenly flew away and flew into the distance, and everyone followed the direction of the pigeons, and it turned out that all the pigeons were mixed together, and then they all flew together in one direction.
And this direction is the direction of the Zhong family.
At that time, the Zhong family was having dinner.
At this time, someone suddenly came to report: "Master, it's not good." ”
"What's the matter, what's the matter so flustered?" Mrs. Zhong was a little unhappy. After all, it's not easy for a family to sit down and have a meal together.
"Sir, ma'am, a flock of pigeons suddenly flew outside. ”
"What's so strange about pigeons?" said Zhong Jin calmly.
"No, young master, there are really a lot of pigeons outside, and they all flew over our home in an instant. The whole sky in our house is dark, and there are so many pigeons. ”
"What the hell is going on, I'll go out and see. Zhong Jin said.
"Be careful. Wan'er suddenly had a sense of foreboding, so she whispered the moment Zhong Jin got up.
Zhong Jin touched Wan'er, and then walked out.
After going out, Zhong Jin was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Zhong Jin is also a person who has seen the world, but this is the first time Zhong Jin has seen such a scene.
Tens of thousands of pigeons flocked to their homes at once, and because there were so many pigeons, the whole sky was obscured, like a black cloud.
Seeing that Zhong Jin didn't come back, Mrs. Zhong and Zhong Dushan were also very surprised, and everyone went out.
Everyone was stunned by the phenomenon in front of them.
The pigeons are all bustling together, flying back and forth non-stop, never falling behind.
"Master, what is this?" Mrs. Zhong was very worried and looked at Master Zhong.
At this time, Zhong Dushan was also silent, after all, such a thing had never happened before.
At this time, Zhong Jin saw that everyone was coming out, and he was very worried about Wan'er, so he hurriedly hugged Wan'er in his arms and whispered, "What are you doing when you come out?"
"I'm worried about you," Wan'er said softly.
"Big brother, why did these pigeons suddenly appear in our house?" Zhong Shen asked in confusion.
Zhong Jin shook his head.
At this time, Zhong Jin picked up a stone, aimed at a pigeon, and then knocked it down.
Zhong Jin's technique was very accurate, and the pigeon landed in response.
Wan'er screamed in pain, after all, she is kind, and she still cherishes small animals.
Zhong Jin picked up the pigeon and looked at it carefully, in fact, it was just a simple pigeon, but Zhong Jin suddenly found that there seemed to be some handwriting on the wings of this pigeon.
Since all the light in the sky was obscured by the doves, Zhong Jin ordered his men to bring torches and illuminate them.
Everyone leaned over to look at it, and the handwriting on the wings stunned everyone.
"The sun and the moon are changing, and the lotus flower has changed hands. ”
"What does this mean? Could it be that the Zhong family's lotus can't be saved?" At this time, Forsythia, who was straightforward, said something out of place.
Zhong Shen hurriedly gave Forsythia a look and motioned her not to say any more.
All the people's moods were extremely heavy at the moment, and they didn't dare to make a sound, and they all looked at Zhong Dushan.
At this time, outside the gate of the Zhong family, a lot of people suddenly gathered.
These people followed these pigeons to the Zhong family.
"Look, this is providence, and God is not satisfied with such a thing. ”
"Yes, yes, for so many years, the Zhong family has been dominating the lotus, no, God has sent pigeons to deliver the message, saying that the lotus has changed hands. ”
"I said, why did there appear so many pigeons today, you see, these pigeons are now in the sky above the Zhong family, I think, this is the meaning of God. Tell the entire Lingyun Mountain that the lotus flower should really change hands. ”
The people gathered outside the Zhong family began to talk one after another.
At this time, one of the people in the crowd suddenly said:
"Yes, but we are all weak and have no energy, so it is better for us to join forces and fight against the Zhong family well. ”
"Hmph, you're talking lightly, or you will be the leader. ”
The man was silent.
Yes, after all, as the saying goes, the gun shoots the first bird, and everyone wants to fight against the lotus, so as to be able to get a piece of the pie after the victory, but no one wants to be the first bird.
"Okay, okay, the top priority now is to ask Zhong Dushan and see what he means. ”
So, everyone began to knock on the door of Zhong's house.
The Zhong family, who were being overwhelmed by the words just now, suddenly heard a knock on the door at this moment, and everyone guessed it more or less.
There was no way, Master Zhong had to go out.
"Master Zhong, how could these pigeons fly to your house inexplicably?"
"Yes, yes, what lotus is still written on the wings of the pigeon, Master Zhong, this may be the will of heaven. ”
"What could it be, this is clearly the will of heaven, it must be that God is very dissatisfied with this phenomenon of monopolizing the lotus, so he gave us such a hint. ”
"Master Zhong, you have something to say. ”
Everyone gossiped, and in the end, Zhong Dushan finally spoke:
"Providence or man-made. I only know that for so many years, our Zhong family ancestors have been honest people, down-to-earth work, and conscientious to protect the lotus, and our efforts to protect the lotus are obvious to all, but now that such a thing has happened, I don't know what to do. ”
At this time, a person in the crowd suddenly said: "Master Zhong, what you said is not right, you said that your Zhong family has paid a lot to save the lotus, but, as the saying goes, the greater the responsibility, the more you will do, to put it bluntly, you still want to keep the status of the lotus in your Zhong family." ”
"Presumptuous, what are you to dare to question our family's ownership of the lotus. Hearing what he said just now, Zhong Jin was very unhappy.
"Okay, okay, I'll say a few words. At this time, a person suddenly stood up in the crowd.
This person is none other than Shen Shuiji.
This charming woman said in a delicate voice: "Everyone, although I have not lived on Lingyun Mountain for generations, now, my master and I are ready to live on this Lingyun Mountain forever. I love this place, and I love this land, so let me say a few words, you don't mind. ”
Everyone had no objections, after all, this Shen Shuiji's appearance still made everyone never disgusted with her.
Seeing that everyone acquiesced, Shen Shuiji continued: "The same pigeon appeared in my house just now, and after I saw it, I was also very worried. But, to be honest, I'm a woman, and I don't have much interest in that lotus, and besides, I'm not qualified to think anything wrong about the lotus, but what I'm worried about is that it may be providential that so many pigeons appear at once. Everyone knows that the will of heaven cannot be violated, and now that there is such a providence here, the lotus flower has changed hands, if we disobey, I am afraid that we will be punished by God. ”
Shen Shuiji deliberately alarmist, seeing everyone's nervous expressions, she was very proud, and then pretended to be pitiful, and said: "My master and I don't want anything, we just want to live peacefully on Lingyun Mountain, but, Master Zhong, if you really disobey the will of heaven for your own interests, I'm afraid that it will only be us innocent people who will suffer." ”
Shen Shuiji's words were like a fuse, which immediately ignited the anger of the entire crowd.
People began to blame Zhong Dushan.
Zhong Dushan's heart was also very worried.
Is God really unwilling to protect the lotus again?
In fact, Zhong Dushan, who is already old, no longer has the ambition of his youth, and now he has long looked down on everything, and he no longer wants to use any lotus to stabilize his position.
However, the reason why he still cares so much about the lotus flower is not for himself, but to keep the family business left by his ancestors, if the lotus is really destroyed in his own hands, then he Zhong Dushan will become a sinner for the ages.
Therefore, Zhong Dushan was not worried about losing the lotus, but worried that the lotus flower would be snatched away by people with ill intentions, and then, he would live up to the trust of his ancestors.
Seeing his father's embarrassed look, Zhong Jin was very worried, so he said to Shen Shuiji: "You demon girl, don't bewitch people here. ”
"Oh, the eldest young master of the Zhong family, you said that I was wronged, where am I a demon girl, I am just an ordinary woman, I don't want your family's lotus, I just want a simple and peaceful life. Therefore, I advise you, Master Zhong, you can't ignore the lives of so many of us, when the time comes, if you really disobey the mandate of heaven, then God will blame us, and we will suffer. However, it seems that the young master of the Zhong family really doesn't like me, a person who tells the truth, then I, I'll leave, but, everyone, don't blame me for not reminding everyone. ”
After speaking, Shen Shuiji twisted her water snake waist and disappeared into the crowd.
"Everyone, please go back, if this matter is really related to our Zhong family, I will naturally give you an explanation. Now, let us discuss it and give you a satisfactory answer. Looking at the angry people on their faces, Zhong Dushan said helplessly.
So, the crowd began to slowly disperse.
All the people of the Zhong family also returned to the courtyard.
Everything, there has been a return to the usual tranquility, but those pigeons, like a spell, have always lingered in the sky above the Zhong family, and they can't leave for a long time.
And that evening, all those little families received a letter like this:
If you are willing to trust me, I am willing to be a leader, with the help of your strength, to push to the Zhong family, when the time comes, your help, I will naturally not forget, each of us will get what we want,.
The inscription is: Shen Shuiji
