Chapter 1062 This Miraculous Doctor's Treating Objects Are Getting More and More Outrageous

"The motive for the disappearance was not to fight against the Japanese, but to worship the sea..."

"This is really unexpected!"

By the Qiantang River, Li Yan and Xu Wei dismounted from their horses and met Zhu Twelve who was coming to confirm the situation. The latter expressed similar emotions.

Li Yan observed the scene: "Aren't there any changes here?"

Zhu Twelve said: "I left a manpower behind, and immediately supervised them after they found out that they were missing. All the Taoist boys stood in place and did not move."

Li Yan glanced at the pale-faced Taoist attendants, and his eyes fell on the two whisks on the ground: "When they disappeared, were they here?"

Zhu Twelve said in a low voice: "Yes, the two masters are standing here with whisks in their hands. The nearest Taoist boy is within Zhang Xu, and the same person disappeared without any movement..."

Li Yan took a light shot, took Fuchen in his hand, chanted a mantra and made a formula, and softly shouted: "Look!"

With two buzzing sounds, the two dust whisks stood up in the air like the brushes before, pointing straight down.

"It's the same place again..."

Like Zhang Jing and Li Tianchong, Guo Hongjing and Wang Yongning stayed in this area after they disappeared and did not move.

But compared to the previous government office, there are tables, chairs, low stools, and crevices and corners. This is the riverside, with a clear view, and there is no way to hide people.

Xu Wei murmured: "If the purpose of the thief is to stop Ji Hai, and he has the ability to directly take down the two Taoist priests, then why bother to attack Governor Zhang and Governor Li first?"

Zhu Twelve said in a deep voice, "Perhaps the two identical disappearances were committed as a warning threat?"

"Not the same."

Li Yan shook his head: "When Governor Zhang and Governor Li disappeared, they left nothing with them. When Guo Gaoshi and Wang Gaoshi disappeared, they left behind two whisks. Let's imagine what kind of posture the whisks will disappear. will be left behind..."

Zhu Twelve suddenly lowered his head: "Were they dragged underground?"

Xu Wei tiptoed subconsciously: "Is this strange and infiltrating monster hidden in the underground?"

With a flick of Li Yan's long sleeves, his mana was rippling, and he checked again: "There is no foreign aura, and there is no trace of entry or exit on the ground. It is not an underground monster."

Zhu Twelve was puzzled: "What else could it be?"

Xu Wei thought for a while, then suddenly frowned: "Since this matter is related to sacrifice, have we neglected a god?"

Li Yan nodded: "Mr. Qingteng is exactly what I think. If there is no foreign aura and disappears inexplicably from the ground, I should go to that person... Where is the Earth Temple in Hangzhou?"

The last sentence was for Zhu Twelve. The deputy Qianhu showed astonishment and called Jin Yiwei to ask, "Where is the Earth Temple?"

"No...I don't know..."

However, after asking a few times, I didn't know. In the end, a little Taoist priest from the local area was present, and said tremblingly: "It's just outside the south of the city... It's been deserted for a long time..."

Li Yandao: "Let these Taoist priests bring the offerings for offering sacrifices to the sea, and let's go to the Earth Temple."

……

The Earth Temple, also known as "Bogong Temple" and "Fude Zheng Temple", is a common belief in the southern region, especially in Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places, where all towns worship the Earth God.

But when everyone arrived in front of the temple, they saw a piece of dilapidated and dilapidated temple.

There are no temple blessings, no believers, and when you walk in, there are dust cobwebs everywhere.

The statue of the land father-in-law is also gray, with bumps and holes on the surface, and the image of a kind old man cannot be seen. Instead, it has become a bit ferocious and ferocious. The strange shape of wings spread out on both sides makes it even more unfriendly to strangers.

Li Yan's eyes were slightly focused, looking at the statue, he always felt familiar, but he couldn't even say what it was for a while.

But the desolation of this place was really unexpected.

The god of land is the god of the society, "she" is the owner of the land, and the sacrifice of the society is the sacrifice to the earth, so there is also the saying of "houtu, the god of the society", "soup is used to cut down summer, and sacrifices are made to the land".

The ancient god of society had a noble status, and offering sacrifices to the land was a major event in a year for the princes and nobles, down to the common people. The word "sheji" was used as a synonym for the country.

Later, the land gods gradually degraded and became more and more humble. Affected by the creation of novels and operas, people's impressions were finally fixed in Journey to the West. On the old man.

But whether it is a tall god of society or a down-to-earth land, the current treatment is too miserable.

"This place is indeed much dilapidated compared to other places. How can there be no one there?"

Xu Wei and Zhu Twelve were also a little shocked, but they quickly found the reason: "The God of the Earth hasn't appeared for a long time, so it's right not to be incensed."

Compared with the ordinary Ming world, this is a world with gods and Buddhas. Even in the four major continents, there were many gods living together. In this way, the worship of faith is two-way. Once the gods do not appear for a long time, the incense will also Decline down.

Not to mention the God of the Land, just say that the sea worship in the coastal areas is to worship the sea and the Dragon King, in order to pray for calm weather and a good harvest throughout the year.

However, due to the increasingly bad weather in recent years, most of the ships of the Ming Dynasty were buried in the waves. On the contrary, the ships of the Japanese pirates came and went in calm waters. The Dragon King and Mazu Empress no longer protected the people, and the leader of the Japanese pirates was transformed by Jiaolong. rumor.

As time goes by, the sacrifice to the sea has become more and more perfunctory, and the belief in the appearance of the dragon king Mazu has become less and less, and the whole ceremony has been reduced to a formality.

Li Yan never pinned all his hopes on the gods, but in the world of Journey to the West, the gods' beliefs should be used as they should be used, and they cannot be completely discarded. He ordered: "Sacrifice!"

The Taoist priests began to clean the temple, lay out tributes, prepare ultimatums, and prepare for the orthodox sacrificial ceremony.

Jin Yiwei also helped out, and everything was ready before noon.

The Taoist priest stepped forward and began to recite the treasure of Fudezhengshen: "One side of the earth and valley with ambition, ten thousand surnames, good fortune, uphold loyalty and righteousness, help the country and defend the people, promise simple life, sit in one side, Li Shu pays homage, and serves as a meritorious Cao ..."

Baogao is also called Gaozhang. In Taoism, it originally refers to the sacred meaning conveyed by the gods. Later, it was derived into a parallel prose praising the gods. It is mostly in the form of singing, praising the practice of Taoist gods and the allusions of the manifestation of merit. The first sentence is "Zhi "Heart conversion ceremony" as the beginning, expressing devout worship.

As Li Yan listened, he knew that their perfunctory intentions were too strong, and he opened his mouth to chant: "Good and evil are manifested and responded to, well-informed in the three worlds, merits and demerits are clearly distinguished, and the gold soup is consolidated. Spirit, protect the country and protect the people..."

Infected by his leadership, the atmosphere became more and more solemn, and the crowd no longer had the carelessness they had before, and their expressions became concentrated until the recitation of the Baogao was completed: "...the emperor conferred the title, the God of Tugu, the Jade Emperor, and the main altar Town Palace, King Earth Ming, God of Fortune!"

"Libi!"

"On the offering!"

When fresh sacrifices were placed in front of the statue of the land father, and all the Taoist priests burned incense and worshiped, the unrecognizable statue gave off weak fluctuations.

Li Yan's brows twitched, and the mana power that had been waiting for a long time approached him.

Finally, an intermittent old voice came: "Your heart... is pure...do you have...what wish?"

Li Yandao: "I hope the gods of the land will protect the peace of Hangzhou."

The old voice let out a deep sigh: "Ashamed...ashamed...old...faint...can't protect...this place...peace..."

Li Yan thought of the blocked Sacrifice Sea, and tried to ask, "Is it related to the Sacrifice?"

The old voice became a little excited: "If you are not sincere...don't sacrifice...if you are not sincere...don't sacrifice..."

Li Yan made a further judgment: "Is it possible that the heaven and the earth are filthy, and any dishonest sacrifice will be tainted and passed on to the gods who are enshrined?"

The old voice sighed again: "It's too late... I don't blame you..."

The heavens and the earth are filthy, people are terrified, worshiping the gods, but they are infected with filth during the worship, which makes the gods suffer further and cannot shelter the believers. Form a vicious circle...

"Is this one of the reasons for the disappearance of gods and Buddhas?"

Li Yan changed his mind and asked again: "Have the Dragon King and Mazu who sacrificed to the sea every year suffered huge injuries? Is it because of the gods of the land that the sacrifice to the sea was blocked this year?"

The old voice replied: "Yes...not... old...the true spirit is here...the evil spirit...bewitched by heretics...don't know where to go..."

"Confused by heretics?"

Li Yan frowned, and then looked at the statue, suddenly a flash of inspiration: "No wonder it looks familiar, with a high nose and fierce, back with wings, this land statue has become a bit like a Japanese tengu!"

He immediately asked, "Is there any way to cure the land god?"

The old voice was a little surprised: "Thank you... for your kindness... Your Excellency... for your merits and kindness... for curing diseases and saving people... but the diseases of old age... are not caused by human beings..."

Li Yan had to re-introduce himself: "Actually, I am a Taoist doctor, and I have a little bit of knowledge about the way of faith..."

Under this explanation, the old man's voice didn't know whether he understood it or not, but he thought it was powerful anyway, and slowly sent a piece of "An Earth Curse": "Sincere people... ten thousand people... can recover... old people ...divine power..."

After Li Yan recited the mantra silently, he had an idea in his mind, disconnected his spiritual thoughts, and said to Zhu Twelve: "How many pious people in Hangzhou city still believe in the land god?"

Zhu Twelve frowned: "There may be older people, but they won't be able to gather for a while. What does Mr. Li want these people for?"

Li Yandao: "Grandfather of the Land is sick, I want to heal him."

Zhu Twelve was stunned.

Is your treatment target getting more and more outrageous?
In the Nanjing period, it was still a change of head. How come it becomes a cure for the land god now?

Xu Wei's eyes widened, full of curiosity, and he said eagerly: "Could it be that after the land god recovers, he can rescue the trapped Governor Zhang and Governor Li? I want to believe, I want to believe!"

Li Yandao: "Mr. Qingteng's kindness, but unfortunately there are not enough people. I will think of another way for believers. Please take care of me. During the treatment period, no matter what noises are made in the temple, please stay away."

It was about his own future, although Zhu Twelve was still full of doubts, he didn't dare to neglect, clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, sir, I'll keep an eye on it, and make sure not a single fly can fly in!"

"Hey, can't I stay? Mr. Li... I can be your assistant too... Don't pull, I'm leaving! I'm leaving!"

Xu Wei was very regretful, turned around three times at a step, and was finally dragged out by Zhu Twelve.

The last scene that came into view was the golden thread on Li Yan's wrist sticking out, turning into a scalpel, and pointing at the wings of the land god statue.

When everyone walked out with inexplicable expressions, the gate of the Earth Temple was slowly closed.

A wooden sign flew out from the inside, hung on the door, and wrote three handsome and powerful regular script characters——

in surgery!
