Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty-Four: You Don't Believe In These God-given Things
The main entrance of a mansion in Wenwenfang, Luoyang, is crowded with people coming in and out, and there is a constant flow of people.
Many men and women held lit incense in their hands and bowed in front of the mansion's door. There was a carriage parked on the side of the mansion, and two strong men dressed as servants were unloading large and small packages of gifts from the carriage.
There was a large bronze tripod placed in the center of the front yard of the mansion, with large bundles of lit incense inserted in it. Green smoke rose from the yard, and faint Sanskrit sounds floated in the air.
Behind the bronze tripod is a high podium, with an exquisite treasure tent set up on it. A dignified and beautiful woman who is only fourteen or fifteen years old is sitting in the treasure tent, holding mudra with both hands, with a solemn appearance.
There is still a faint flash of brilliance.
In an open space not far away from the mansion, several idle men were lazily leaning against the wall, catching lice in the sun and looking at the gifts on the carriage with envious eyes.
"That guy Liu Jia is really lucky..."
An idle man squatting diagonally across from the mansion with his hands folded looked at the green smoke rising in the yard, stretched out his tongue and licked his lips.
"Not only did I give birth to a daughter who is as beautiful as a flower, she also became a Buddha overnight. Not only did she memorize the Lotus Sutra by heart, she was also able to control the wind and rain. It is really enviable."
"Who says otherwise!"
Another idle man looked at the gifts carried from the carriage and shook his head.
"Look, since his daughter became a Buddha, so many gifts have been sent to her every day. You think it would be great if these things were given to us."
"..."
"Fairy aunt..."
A middle-aged woman who had just worshiped a bundle of incense in the bronze tripod threw herself on a worship mat in front of the bronze tripod, kowtowed to the woman on the high platform, and said devoutly.
"My husband went to Hebei to conquer Liu Heita. The slave family would like to ask the fairy to protect him and come back safely."
The woman sitting on the high platform spoke slowly without opening her eyes.
"Rise and fall, misfortunes and blessings are all determined..."
After hearing the fairy aunt's words, the middle-aged woman bowed down again and again and said repeatedly.
"Please have mercy on the fairy lady, please have mercy on the fairy lady!"
"well!"
The woman sitting on the high platform sighed and continued.
"Namo Miaoguang Bodhisattva! It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just..."
Before she finished speaking, the woman suddenly covered her temples with her hands, as if she was listening to something. Then her face suddenly changed color, and she lowered her head and said to the person standing below.
"The calamity is approaching, and evil spirits will arrive soon. You must guard the door. No one wearing a Taoist robe is allowed to come in."
"yes!"
After hearing the instructions from the fairy aunt, the following believers immediately geared up one by one and stood in front of the door of the house with their chests folded. They opened their eyes wide and looked around, waiting to see who the evil spirit wearing the Taoist robes that the fairy aunt mentioned was.
who?
A few minutes later, a young Taoist priest with a handsome face wearing a snow-white robe and carrying a kitten on his shoulder appeared on the street.
"Excuse me……"
After the little Taoist priest walked in front of them, he raised his hands and bowed to them.
"May I ask if this is Liu Jia's home?"
When they saw that the other party was a Taoist priest, these believers immediately remembered the instructions given by the fairy just now and immediately increased their vigilance.
"no!"
"no?"
The Taoist priest in white raised his head, looked left and right, and murmured.
"A lot of people gathered for illegal gatherings and then illegally engaged in religious activities. It should be right here. How could it not be?"
As he spoke, he looked up at the believers who were blocking the door to prevent him from entering. His eyes moved up and down gently, as if he was looking at them carefully.
"oh……"
After a few glances, the Taoist priest in white nodded with a look of enlightenment.
"That's it! I didn't expect that Pindao would be criticized one day..."
"Evil!"
I don't know whether it was because the white-robed Taoist priest was handsome and non-aggressive, or because the followers of the 'Fairy Girl' had fanatical beliefs, but in short, these people standing in front of the door opened their hands and rushed towards the white-robed Taoist priest.
"I will never let you in..."
"You stay away from the poor people..."
The Taoist priest in white wrinkled his beautiful eyebrows slightly, raised the dust in his hand, and flew up lightly. His toes touched the heads of the believers who rushed towards him, and then he stepped on the void step by step, as if he were stepping on a ladder.
Lifted straight up into the air, then stepped into the air and walked in from the top of the gate.
"Wow!"
When the few idle men basking in the sun in the open space saw this scene, their mouths suddenly opened.
"The gods have descended to earth..."
The followers of the 'Fairy Girl' were stunned when they saw that the Taoist priest did not go through the door at all, but walked directly into the void.
Is this Taoist priest really a demon?
Why does he look so handsome and handsome? He really looks like a god...
They looked at each other, then turned their heads and looked towards the yard.
I saw that the Taoist priest in white had already walked into the air in the front yard, and curls of green smoke rose from the bronze tripod at his feet.
In the midst of the green smoke, the Taoist robes on the white-clothed Taoist priests were also swaying slightly, as if they would fly directly into the clouds in the next moment.
He looked at the fairy sitting in the treasure tent with a smile on his lips, as if he had seen something very funny.
"Ms. Qiujiu..."
The Taoist priest in white fluttered the dust in his hand, and his soft voice spread throughout the house.
"You set up a memorial ceremony without permission, made false threats, and collected property. I was ordered by the Taishi Bureau to invite my wife to have tea with me at the Taishi Bureau."
"What nonsense!"
The fairy girl sitting in the treasure tent opened her eyes instantly and shouted sharply.
"I am the righteous protector of Buddhism. How can I set up sacrifices without permission? Moreover, I have not threatened or taken any money. You, a little Taoist, talk nonsense like this. Be careful that you will go to tongue pulling hell after death..."
"No property was collected..."
The Taoist priest in white standing in the air looked at the gifts piled in the corner of the yard.
"Ms. Qiujiu, before you deny this, could you look down and see where the evidence is on the ground?"
"snort!"
The fairy girl snorted with a look of disdain.
"and……"
The white-clothed Taoist priest looked at the fairy girl, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile.
"Mrs. Qiujiu, do you know what happened to the last guy who dared to say that poor people were going to hell?"
"What will happen?"
The fairy girl stared at the Taoist priest in white with a fierce look.
"I am a righteous god who protects the Dharma, so I won't be afraid of you, an evil heretic..."
"Whether you are a god or not, we will know soon... Vilya!"
As soon as the white-robed Taoist priest flicked his sleeves, there was a loud roar in the sky above the courtyard, and instantly a strong wind blew up. The howling wind rushed directly into the treasure tent on the high platform, rolled the fairy out of it, and sent it to the white-robed Taoist priest.
The fairy girl twisted her body desperately, as if trying to break free from the strong wind, but it seemed to be of no avail.
Seeing Xiangu's current appearance, the believers below all shouted excitedly.
"Yao Dao, let go of Fairy Girl quickly..."
"what do you want to do?"
"..."
There were even some grumpy people who had already found some bricks and stones in the yard and threw them into the sky.
"Death to the demon!"
The Taoist priest in white glanced down and frowned slightly.
call!
The wind rose from the ground and swept up the most noisy believers among the believers, and their bodies rose higher and higher.
Before the believers below could react, their bodies had already exceeded the eaves, and the next moment, the wind surrounding these people suddenly disappeared.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a series of noises, these people all fell down, piled on top of each other, lying on the ground groaning in pain, as if they couldn't stand up.
The next moment, the believers in the courtyard who were speaking foul words to the Taoist priest in white immediately became mute.
The scene was completely silent!
"Ms. Qiujiu..."
The white-clothed Taoist priest looked with satisfaction at the believers below who had regained their composure, then he raised his fingers and made a loud bang on the fairy's head.
puff!
It's like a doppelgänger, one person becomes two in an instant.
A woman in colorful silk was ejected from the fairy's body like a phantom and fell onto the high platform behind. The original little fairy rolled her eyes after the woman in colorful silk was ejected.
, and fainted.
"ah……"
When they saw this scene, the believers below all covered their mouths with their hands in surprise.
"What's happening here……"
"Why did the fairy become two?"
"..."
The Taoist priest in white in the air waved his hand, and the unconscious little fairy was swept by the strong wind and slowly fell to the ground. Then he took two steps forward in the air, landed on the high platform, and waved his clothes.
The woman wearing colorful silk sleeves also disappeared.
"That little girl was just seduced by a monster, not a Buddha!"
The Taoist priest in white looked down at the confused believers below and said seriously.
"You idiots, be more discerning in the future and stop believing in such nonsense..."
As he spoke, the Taoist priest in white stood up, and a long sword flew out from behind and landed at his feet. Then with a hiss, he turned into a sword light and disappeared into the sky.
"Wow!"
The believers below looked at the scene in front of them. Like the idlers outside, they all had surprised faces and opened their mouths.
Suddenly, a believer who was picked up by the wind and thrown to the ground by the white-clothed Taoist priest suddenly ran to the bronze tripod in the center of the yard, grabbed a bundle of lit incense from it, held it in his hand, and faced the white-clothed Taoist piously.
The Taoist priest paid homage in the direction he left.
"Little fairy, please bless so-and-so's business smoothly!"
