Chapter 235 Bixia Mountain

Bixia Mountain is located in the middle of Yuzhou, this mountain is undulating and steep, rocky and barren. There is a county at the foot of the mountain called Lanping County.

This is a small marginal county in Yuzhou. Over the years, the Imperial Court's selection has always been low. But after this year's drought, Lanping County has become the least affected county in Yuzhou.

The reason is that the Bixia Mountain has abundant water sources, and Lanping County has more mountains and less land. The spring water flowing from the mountain nourishes the land of Lanping County. Therefore, in this starving Yuzhou, Lanping County is particularly conspicuous.

This Lanping County is surrounded by mountains and belongs to the remote countryside. Even the rebellious Caotou Wang is reluctant to come here. In this way, this Lanping County is actually proud of itself.

As a result, some people began to claim that this was the protection of the Bixia Mountain God to keep one side safe, and the people of Lanping County believed that it was indeed the case.

On the rugged mountain road, a horse dragged a Taoist priest through the mountains. Lu Fan came here all the way to find Qi and Trace, but only after he arrived in Lanping County did he realize that the drought here is actually minimal.

In the distance, the mountains are undulating, the peaks are handsome, the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, and there are faint rays of sunshine. The mountains are staggered and ups and downs, which is really difficult for thousands of cliffs. During this period, the haze lingers around, the mountains and the sea are foggy, and the scenery is unparalleled.

“This Bixia Mountain is truly the blessed land of Spiritual Mountain.”

Lu Fan sighed while looking at the mountains and rivers in front of him. Spiritual Qi is rich in this mountain, strange peaks and rocks are jagged, and the mountains are full of mountains and rivers. Although steep, there are many exotic flowers and rare herbs. For monastics like Lu Fan, this is a blessed land, but it is not friendly to the ordinary person.

The mountains are steep, the danger of hunters and medicinal farmers entering the mountains is increased, the land is barren, the output is not much, and the roads are rough, which makes Lanping County always in poverty.

Crossing this mountain ridge, the eyes suddenly become brighter, and the originally rough road has become flat, and villages have begun to appear on both sides of the road. Compared with other counties in Yuzhou outside the mountains, this place is like hidden land of peace and prosperity.

The Taoists came to these villages. Although the people here had a hard time, they did not worry about their lives. Lu Fan simply rested in the villages and bought some grass and black beans to feed the horses. Dayton, this village is no different from other villages, except that there is a mountain, Divine Idol, in the center of the village. The incense in front of Divine Idol was at its peak. According to the villagers, it was because of the existence of this mountain god that they were not affected by the drought in Lanping County.

Lu Fan rested in the village for a while before starting the journey again. Lu Fan was a little strange. Since there was no disaster here, why didn't the victims come? It was only later that he figured out that Lanping County was originally a poor county, and it was almost well known in Yuzhou. After the drought came, the people of Yuzhou thought that Lanping County was also hit by the disaster. As a result, not many refugees came here.

Coupled with the rugged roads and lack of news in Lanping County, no one could have imagined that Lanping County would actually become a hidden land of peace and prosperity in Yuzhou.

Walking all the way to the Lanping county town, the county town of Lanping County is a bit dilapidated, the rammed earth city wall has been in disrepair for a long time, only the trifling is a zhang high, and the city gate is also a bit broken, but today the city is very It's lively. As soon as Lu Fan entered the city, Tion entered the city and the sound of gongs and drums was very lively.

Apart from this The smell of incense wafts from many places in the city, as if a ritual ceremony is being held.

This Lanping County is not big, Lu Fan walked on the street with his horse, and soon saw a high platform built in the center of the city. There are dozens of big men guarding, and there is a row of high incense sticks in the furnace cauldron in front of the platform, surrounded by clouds and mist.

Lu Fan looked at the Divine Idol on the stage. He didn't see the Divine Idol in the Divine Idol. Obviously, this mountain god most likely has a false name, but it's just a mud puppet. But how can this mud puppet have such a big momentum?

"That Divine Idol is that god? What are these people doing?" Lu Fan asked casually while hiding in the crowd.

A Lanping County citizen next to him turned his head and looked towards the Taoist. After looking at it carefully, he opened the mouth and said: "The Taoist priest just came to our Lanping County, right? This is our Lanping County offering sacrifice to Bixia Mountain Monarch."

The Taoist said, "Bixia Mountain Monarch? Is it the mountain god of Bixia Mountain? Is this Mountain Monarch very effective? How many people worship?"

The people said with a serious face: "Of course Bixia Mountain Monarch is very effective, otherwise our Lanping County would not hold such a grand event every month. The sacrifices."

"Daoist, you came from outside, you should also know that Yuzhou is suffering from severe drought. There are countless people suffering, and many people starved to death, but we in Lanping County have no Drought, people live and work in peace and contentment, isn't this the blessing of the mountain god?"

"It is precisely because the people in Yuzhou and other places did not worship this Bixia Mountain Monarch that Bixia Mountain Monarch did not protect them."

Lu Fan listened to the solemnly vowed sayings of this commoner, and from time to time he held up a sentence, which made people talk very freely. After a while, Lu Fan learned about these things through the bits and pieces.

Bixia Mountain Monarch This rhetoric has obviously been perfected by many people, and it has also been combined with other things such as drought to make people in Lanping County believe in this rhetoric.

Lu Fan looked towards the high platform not far away. There are many people wearing sacrificial robes around the high platform. The news of being idle should have come from these people's mouths. Looking at the familiar appearance of these people, it is obvious that they are very experienced.

As the surrounding atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic, many people had fallen to their knees and shouted: "Mountain Monarch bless, the harvest is abundant!"

"Mountain Monarch bless, The harvest is bountiful!"

There are even many believers who keep putting money into the merit box. The merit box, which is more than half the height of a person, was filled up quickly.

When the atmosphere was at its highest, Lu Fan also discovered that the County Magistrate of Lanping County actually appeared on stage in official uniform, took out a sacrificial text and began to recite it.

At the same time, the gentry and wealthy families in the city also generously donated money to the mountain god. Soon the coins in this sacrifice were piled up into a hill.

At this time, a man dressed as a divine man appeared on the stage wearing a mask and a robe woven with feathers, and it looked like he was dancing Nuo dance. Lu Fan's eyes flickered and he was very suspicious of these people.

After confirming several times that the mountain god is indeed a mud puppet, I sighed that these fake Spiritual God's life and money-making teams are so professional now.
