Is the cow really lost?
Chu Chen suddenly realized.
No wonder a group of villagers gathered here early in the morning.
Although there are demons and gods in this world, extraordinary power can be seen everywhere.
However, the world of immortality and the secular world are two worlds, running in parallel. The magical powers of ghosts and gods will not be used on ordinary people, and productivity will not be improved.
For a farmer who digs food in the fields, his cattle are undoubtedly his most precious property besides his farmland.
If Chu Chen remembers correctly, my father-in-law's son's legs and feet are inconvenient and he cannot do heavy work. It is thanks to Lao Niu that he does heavy work on weekdays.
Without the cow, life would be difficult for the family.
After Chu Chen understood the situation, he didn't say much and agreed to help find the cow.
"Old man, where did you lose your cow?"
"It's just ahead at Wugui Mountain. We've searched everywhere but can't find it!"
...
Chu Chen took three steps at a time and arrived at the Turtle Mountain pointed by the villagers.
Turtle Mountain does not just refer to a mountain, but small hills, just like a group of turtles crawling.
The villagers could not find the cow, but it was not difficult for Chu Chen to find the cow.
After pinching the hand and chanting the mantra, the mandrill wood spirits from the Turtle Mountains came one after another.
After some inquiries, Chu Chen easily found the old cow playing leisurely in a mountain col pool.
After bringing the old cow back to the village entrance, the father-in-law and the villagers cheered.
Especially my father-in-law, he looked like a drowning man who had been rescued ashore, with his face full of luck and joy.
However, the old man's joy and luck did not last long. Soon, he remembered something, his body trembled, and his eyes were full of fear.
Chu Chen keenly noticed the strange behavior of his father-in-law, squinted his eyes slightly, and guessed something:
"Old man, your old cow was lost yesterday, and it's missing prayers and chanting?"
"Yes, yes, the little Taoist Master is really good at predicting things. Our whole family is short of prayers and recitations. Now we have to double the number of incense offerings and prayers and recitations. This is really embarrassing."
The old man nodded repeatedly and asked cautiously: "Little Taoist Master, your master didn't come out with you this time? I don't know if he is nearby. If it is convenient, can you help me beg for mercy in front of the mountain god grandpa..."
After saying that, the father-in-law's weather-beaten face was full of hope.
"My master is far away in the county."
The old man was quite disappointed and sad when he heard this, and couldn't help but rub his eyes.
I don’t know whether it was the wind and sand that blinded my eyes, or whether I was crying because of the hardship and hardship of life.
"Old man, if the master is not here, I can help you make peace."
Chu Chen felt sad in his heart.
This time, I really came to the right place.
This Lushan God has no intention of restraining himself and is still so harsh towards the people.
"Can you...can you...?"
The old man looked Chu Chen up and down, always a little worried, but he said quickly: "Little Taoist Master, it's not that I despise you, it's just... Grandpa Mountain God is the official worshiper of the mountain god, he..."
Chu Chen smiled, "My father-in-law, you said you didn't despise me, your thoughts are written on your face."
"Old man, don't worry. Master and I are serious Taoist priests teaching the Eight Classics. It's better for me to help you than to bear the wrath of the mountain god on your own. What do you think?"
After hearing this, the father-in-law felt that it made sense and nodded repeatedly.
"Then I have to thank you Taoist priest. I have never read a book. I am a farmer in the countryside. I am stupid and can't speak. If I was disrespectful just now, please be more patient."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter"
...
It was almost evening when Chu Chen and Master Xu Ping entered the village, so every household was praying and reciting.
This time Chu Chen came to Yunlu Village in the morning and did not see the whole village praying and chanting.
The day's plan begins in the morning, when the villagers are busy working in the fields to make a living.
The old man took Chu Chen to the mountain temple in the village.
The mountain temple is not big, but it looks like it was built recently.
Chu Chen frowned slightly, but he didn't say much. He used the book box behind him as a high platform and built a simple altar in the yard.
Incense, incense burners, lamps, flowers, banners, ritual utensils, yellow talismans, armor and horses, seals, seals, seals, swords, etc. are all available.
Just like my master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, did the same thing.
"The heavens are alive, the earth is alive, the water is alive, the fire is alive, the heaven and earth are alive, the water and fire are alive, I sincerely invite the mountain gods here to come to my altar to judge whether it is right or wrong, and I am taking pictures under the orders of Mr. Sanshan Jiuhou !”
Chu Chen held the Gou Shan Shen Jue in his hand and stepped on the Gang to fight.
As the word "photo" was shouted out, a strong wind blew and the leaves rustled.
Gu Lian
On the altar of the book box, a piece of armor paper covered with statues of gods rises in the wind, blooming with spiritual light.
Turning around, the paper armor turned into a palm-sized sika deer, stepping on the clouds and mist, looking down at the people in the mountain temple, full of majesty.
Lushan God directly ignored the villagers and his eyes fell on Chu Chen.
"Why is the mage calling me...Hey, why do I think you look familiar? I seem to have seen you somewhere."
Chu Chen smiled and said:
"Master and I came to Yunlu Village last year."
Lushan God glanced at his father-in-law and suddenly realized: "It's you, I remember you."
After saying that, the mountain god looked at the father-in-law again:
"If I remember correctly, you and your family missed homework again last night. Humph, you found a Taoist priest to suppress me again. How brave you are!"
The mountain god became furious and furious.
The old man suddenly panicked and hurriedly explained:
"Grandpa Mountain God, there are reasons for the grassroots people. I didn't miss my homework intentionally. I lost my cow again. The whole family was restless last night and had no intention of praying. Please forgive me!"
Chu Chen also spoke for his father-in-law:
"God of Lushan, what the old man said is right. His cattle were lost again. I just helped them bring them back. Please don't blame them!"
Lushan God looked at Chu Chen with disdain:
"Who are you? You're just a ninth-grade monk, but you dare to show off. Last time, for the sake of your master, I didn't care about it. You two, master and disciple, don't push yourself to the limit or be shameless!"
Chu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
Want to line up with me?
What you want!
Chu Chen cleared his throat and said unceremoniously:
"God Lushan, Master and I advise you kindly, for your own good. Don't be ignorant!"
When the father-in-law heard this, his eyes widened and he was frightened.
Taoist Priest, how can you talk like this? Are you helping me or hurting me?
Lushan God was stunned, as if he had heard a fairy tale, and he laughed angrily:
"Good boy, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Don't you think that after you have cultivated a few Taoist practices, you will be able to drive away ghosts and gods and have great magical powers? Your master didn't dare to speak to me like this at the beginning!"
Chu Chen looked indifferent:
"Heaven has its rules, the state has its laws, ghosts have their laws, and the poor have their own laws and principles. As a mountain god, you should protect a place and protect the environment and the people. You have the power in your hands and do not think about being independent. Instead, you impose excessive taxes, treat and oppress the people harshly, that's right.
no?"
Lushan God laughed loudly:
"Little Taoist Priest, you made me laugh to death. Where did you learn this?"
"I want to test you. Which law of heaven and ghost says that this god is guilty, and how should he be punished?"
Chu Chen blurted out: "Shangqing Bone Marrow Spiritual Text and Ghost Law says: Ghosts and gods are not allowed to mix with living creatures unless they are absorbed into the human world. Violators will be punished with a hundred rods. Anyone who invites sacrifices under false pretenses will be punished for two years."
Hearing this, Lushan God did not panic at all and said with a smile:
"Little Taoist priest, you have really done your homework. Yes, there is such a law of ghosts."
"But so what, I also want to ensure the peace of this place. Without the mountain people offering incense, praying and chanting sutras, how can I raise soldiers and horses!"
"You are young and don't understand anything. Don't talk nonsense with big principles."
"If you have the ability, go and sue me and see if the county mayor can take care of you?"
"What do you know, you little brat? You have learned a little Taoism and read a little ghost law, and you are now Judge Tiancao? What a joke, how dare you speak so loudly to this god!"
The God of Lushan talked endlessly, while talking about his own principles. He did not feel that there was anything wrong with his harsh treatment of the people. Instead, he was proud of it. He felt that he was upright, spread blessings, and took great credit.
As he spoke, Lushan God's tone became more and more unkind.
After hearing this, my husband's feet became weak and he almost fainted from fright.
It’s over, it’s over!
Seeing the thunderous anger of the mountain god, the villagers on the side shivered in fear and buried their heads in silence.
Chu Chen glanced at the frightened people in the temple and saw the arrogant and domineering Lushan God standing in the air with his feet on white clouds. He couldn't help but sneer.
Sure enough, relying on words to reason will not work.
Even if you have a lotus tongue, people will turn a deaf ear to you and not care at all.
"Little devil, tell him, why should I reason with this Lushan God? Do I have the qualifications to reason with him?"
The little devil had been holding it back for a long time. When he heard what his senior brother said, he immediately became energetic and flew out with a hiss.
"Lushan God, look at this. My senior brother will use them to reason with you. Tell me, can this logic make sense?"
In the hands of the little ghost boy, with a command in his left hand and a seal in his right hand, the golden light shines brightly and the divine power is hidden.
The seal on the golden order reads: Yunlin Duguan Order.
