I'm looking for longevity in Liaozhai

Chapter 84 Dishonesty and Natural Disaster

"The benefactor has something to say, please."

"I went to Guobei County today, and saw an ominous aura floating over the county, and many people in the city also had abnormal auras, tainted with ominousness.

Master, can you see what will happen to Guobei County?Will there be a plague? "

Zen Master Guangji pondered for a while before speaking.

"The poor monk saw a dark force, and that force should be the cause of the unknown in Guobei County."

"Where is the power of darkness?"

"I can't tell, it seems to be in the deep underground." The old monk said.

"Underground, isn't it the underworld?" Wang Zhe was taken aback when he heard this.

The old monk shook his head.

"So is it necessary to find a way to get the entire Guobei County to leave and go out for refuge?"

"Those pilgrims who often come to the temple to offer incense, the poor monk and the younger brother have mentioned it, and they are unwilling to leave, let alone others." Monk Guangji sighed.

"That's right. Don't say that today is still peaceful. Even in times of turmoil, people are not willing to leave their homes unless it is absolutely necessary."

"This is the catastrophe that the poor monk and the benefactor mentioned last time. The poor monk will definitely not stand by and watch, and I hope the benefactor can do his part." Monk Guangji said.

"Why do we have to wait for the catastrophe to appear, can't we find a way to nip it in the bud?" Wang Zhe asked rhetorically.

"What is the opinion of the benefactor?"

"I don't have any insights, so I'll look for it first. Since Guobei County was robbed, it should be near Guobei County. If you can find it, find a way to kill it."

The old monk was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, showing an expression of appreciation.

"As expected of my Dharma protector!"

"Bullshit!" Wang Zhe waved his hand. "I have one more thing to ask Master."

"It's okay to be a benefactor." Monk Guangji said.

Wang Zhe then asked this Chan Master Guangji about the "Shenzutong" of Buddhism. This Zen Master Guangji has advanced Buddhism and must have unique insights. Listening to him may be rewarding.

The so-called stones from other mountains can attack jade.

Unexpectedly, the old monk actually talked with him about Buddhism for a long time, and what he said was vague, and he insisted on staying in Lanruo Temple for a vegetarian meal when it was over.

"Thank you, master, for your kindness. I still have something to do. I'll go first. I'll keep an eye on that big tree in the mountain behind you!"

"Amitabha, once the benefactor suddenly realizes, his supernatural powers will become self-contained." Zen Master Guangji sent him to the gate of the temple.

"Epiphany, easy to say." Wang Zhe waved his hand and went down the mountain.

Then he began to look for suspicious places around Guobei County. After he came out of Lanruo Temple, the first place was the "Mountain Temple".

After all, this is the only place he knows about ghosts in Guobei County, and he has seen "Flying-headed Lizards" haunting it, and weasels entering the temple to worship gods.

Among the mountains and fields, the mountain temple is still dead silent, with a few old trees and a patch of weeds in the courtyard.

Before Wang Zheren entered the temple, his divine sense swept over him first.

There is no abnormality in the courtyard, and the same is true in the mountain temple.

Then he entered the yard, stood at the door, and looked at the statue of the mountain god inside. There were still some wild fruits in front of it, but they had dried up.

"Entering the temple, you have to worship the mountain god. Those who don't worship the god will die!" He remembered what Zhuo Siwei once said.

Lift your legs, take a step, enter the mountain temple, and look at the statue of the mountain god that is more than ten feet high.

Now he has entered the temple and does not worship the gods.

Instead of worshiping, he went around the temple and searched around, but found nothing unusual.

Behind this temple, there is a mountain a few feet away.

Wang Zhe went out of the temple and went into the mountain. There were some beasts like wolves in the mountain, and a group of monkeys. They saw him chirping and grinning.

He searched in the mountains until dark before returning to Guobei County.

For the next two days, he searched the mountains outside Guobei County, but found nothing.

On this day, he didn't go anywhere, because Lao Hou's child was born.

Lao Hou's mouth was cracked to the back of his ears when he laughed. Wang Zhe helped Zhang Luo at his home and entertained relatives and friends at home.

The second day after the child was born was "Awakening of Insects".

The stinging insects and snakes came out, and the grass and trees opened.

On this day, there were dark clouds floating in the sky, and there was faint thunder.

Wang Zhezhan searched for it for several days on a high mountain outside the city, but still found nothing, which made him a little puzzled.

Suddenly, a thunderbolt fell from the sky, landed in the forest, split a big tree, and ignited a mountain fire.

Then rumbling, he felt the mountain under his feet shaking.

"earthquake?"

He hurriedly looked around, only to see that the surrounding mountains were shaking, and the birds and beasts in the forest were startled.

"The gray gas means an earthquake?"

"Not good, Guobei County!"

He hurried towards Guobei County.

When he arrived at Guobei County, he heard many people panicking.Some old houses were collapsed and some people were trapped inside.

Fortunately, the earthquake did not last long.

Wang Zhe helped rescue people in the county.During this period, he looked at the sky, and the gray aura didn't dissipate, on the contrary, it became more intense.

"Could there be a stronger earthquake?"

Until the evening, the earthquake that he expected had never arrived.

That night, the Town God's Temple in the city.

Miao Zhu, who was about to rest, suddenly froze, rubbed his eyes and looked at the statue of the city god in front of him.

With a plop, he fell to his knees.

"Welcome to Lord Chenghuang!"

That night, no one in Guobei County dared to sleep.

"A natural disaster, this is a natural disaster, it is God who punishes us!"

"How about, let's pay homage to the City God tomorrow. It's been a long time."

"Well, yes, go to worship the City God, he will bless us."

There is more than one person who has such an idea.

So on the second day, people walked into the Temple of the City God, which they had not been to for a long time, to worship and pray to the City God.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the clay statue of the City God released multicolored rays of light, filling the entire City God Temple. The City God in a purple-red robe stood in the void, looking down at the worshipers.

"Your dishonesty has caused natural disasters!" The city god's majestic voice sounded, and came out of the city god's temple.

"The City God has appeared!"

The city god appeared and spoke, which made the people worshiping in the temple terrified.

One by one, they knelt down on the ground and kowtowed non-stop.

Soon, news of the City God appearing again spread throughout Guobei County, and people flocked to the Temple of the City God.

"Apparition, still talking?"

The first time I heard the news, I looked in the direction of the Town God's Temple, and saw a little light floating in the direction of the Town God's Temple like fireflies in the mid-air.

Many people in this city enshrine the City God in their homes.

Wang Zhe came outside the Town God's Temple and wanted to go in to have a look, but found that it was crowded with people and there was no place to stay.

The people of Guobei County were secretly somewhat panicked amidst their piety.

The city god appeared and spoke just now, because of the natural disaster caused by their dishonesty, this is God's punishment for them.

Of course they believed it.
