"I visited Guobei County today and saw an ominous aura floating over the county town, and many people in the city also had abnormal auras and were contaminated with ominous atmosphere.
Master, can you tell what will happen in Guobei County? Will there be a plague?"
After hearing this, 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 situation in Guobei County."
"Where is the power of darkness?"
"I can't tell, it seems to be deep underground." The old monk said.
"Underground, could it be the underworld?" Wang Zhe was stunned when he heard this.
The old monk shook his head.
"Then we need to find a way to get everyone in Guobei County to leave and take refuge?"
"Those pilgrims who often come to the temple to offer incense, poor monks and junior brothers have all mentioned it, and they are unwilling to leave, let alone others." Monk Guangji sighed.
"Indeed, let alone peace today, even in turbulent times, people are not willing to leave their homes unless they have to."
"This is the disaster that the poor monk and the donor talked about last time. When the time comes, the poor monk will definitely not sit idly by and hope that the donor can do his part." Monk Guangji said.
"Why do you have to wait for disaster to occur? Can't you find a way to nip it in the bud?" Wang Zhe asked rhetorically.
“What does the donor think?”
"I don't have any idea. Let's look for it first. Since it was Guobei County that was robbed, it should be near Guobei County. If you can find it, just find a way to kill it."
The old monk was slightly startled when he heard this and showed an expression of appreciation.
"As expected of my Buddhist protector!"
"Nonsense!" Wang Zhe waved his hand. "I still have something to ask Master."
"It doesn't matter if the donor just says it," Monk Guangji said.
Wang Zhe then asked Zen Master Guangji about the Buddhist "Shen Zu Tong". Zen Master Guangji had a profound Buddhist practice and must have unique insights. You might gain something from listening to his talk.
It is said that stones from other mountains can attack jade.
Unexpectedly, the old monk actually discussed Buddhism with him for a long time, and what he said was incomprehensible. After that, he insisted on leaving him to have a vegetarian meal at Lanruo Temple.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Watch out for the big tree in the mountain behind you!"
"Amitabha, once the benefactor attains enlightenment, he will develop his own magical powers." Zen Master Guangji sent him to the entrance of the temple.
"Epiphany, that's easy to say." Wang Zhe waved his hand and went down the mountain.
Then he began to look around Guobei County for suspicious places. After he came out of Lanruo Temple, the first place he visited was the "Mountain Temple".
After all, this is the only haunting rumor he knows about in Guobei County. He has also seen a "flying head dog" haunting it and a weasel entering the temple to worship the gods.
In the mountains and fields, there was still silence in the mountain temple. There were a few old trees and a patch of grass in the courtyard.
Before Wang Zhe entered the temple, his spiritual consciousness scanned it first.
There is nothing abnormal 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 some wild fruits in front of it, but they were already withered.
"You have to worship the mountain gods when you enter the temple. If you don't worship the gods when you see them, you will die!" He remembered what Zhuo Siwei once said.
Lifting my legs and taking steps, I entered the mountain temple and looked at the statue of the mountain god that was more than one foot high.
Now he has entered the temple and refuses to worship the gods.
Not only did he not worship, he also walked around the temple and checked around, but found nothing unusual.
Behind the temple, there is a mountain a few feet away.
Wang Zhe left the temple and entered the mountains. There were some wild animals such as jackals and a group of monkeys in the mountains. When he saw him, they were chattering and baring their teeth.
He searched in the mountains until dark before returning to Guobei County.
For the next two days, he kept searching in the mountains and fields outside Guobei County, but found nothing.
On this day, he didn't go anywhere because Lao Hou's child was born.
The smile on Lao Hou's mouth was so split that it reached behind his ears. Wang Zhe helped organize events at his home and entertained his relatives and friends.
The day after the child was born was the "Jing of Insects".
The stinging insects and snakes emerge, and the withered grass and trees bloom.
On this day, there were dark clouds floating in the sky and there was a faint sound of thunder.
Wang Zhezhan was on a high mountain outside the city. He searched for several days but still found nothing, which made him a little confused.
Suddenly a thunder fell from the sky, fell in the forest, split a big tree, and ignited a mountain fire.
Then there was a rumble, and he felt the mountain beneath his feet shaking.
"An earthquake?"
He looked around hurriedly and saw that the surrounding mountains were shaking, and the birds and animals in the forest were startled.
"The gray gas means an earthquake?"
"No, Guobei County!"
He hurriedly headed towards Guobei County.
When he arrived at Guobei County, he heard the sounds of many people panicking. Some old houses were collapsed and people were trapped inside.
Fortunately the earthquake did not last long.
Wang Zhe was helping rescue people in the county. During this period, he looked at the sky and saw that the gray aura had not dissipated, but had become stronger.
"Is it possible that there will be more powerful earthquakes?"
Until the evening, the earthquake that he expected had never come.
That night, the Chenghuang Temple in the city.
Miao Zhu, who was about to take a rest, suddenly froze, rubbed his eyes and looked at the statue of the City God in front of him.
He fell to his knees with a thud.
"Welcome to the Lord City God!"
That night, no one in Guobei County dared to sleep.
"A natural disaster, this is a natural disaster, God is punishing us!"
"How about we go pay homage to the City God tomorrow? We haven't been there for a long time."
"Well, yes, let's go pay homage to the City God. He will bless us."
There is more than one person who thinks this way.
So on the next day, people successively walked into the City God's Temple, which they had not been to for a long time, and worshiped and prayed to the City God.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the clay sculpture of the City God released colorful rays of light, filling the entire City God's temple. The City God in purple robes stood in the void, looking down at the worshipers.
"You are not sincere, causing natural disasters!" The majestic voice of the City God rang out from the City God's Temple.
"The city god has appeared!"
The city god appeared and spoke, which made the people worshiping in the temple panic.
One by one, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Soon, the news that the City God appeared again spread throughout Guobei County, and people flocked to the Temple of the City God.
"Apparently, you still speak?"
When I heard the news, I immediately looked towards the City God's Temple and saw little lights in the air floating towards the City God's Temple like fireflies.
Many people in this city worship the City God in their homes.
Wang Zhe came to the outside of the Chenghuang Temple and wanted to go in, but found that it was crowded with people and there was no place to stay.
The pious people in Guobei County are secretly afraid.
The City God just appeared and spoke. It was because of their dishonesty that they caused natural disasters. This was God's punishment for them.
