"This rain actually contains the power of heaven and earth. Who caused it?"
"Grandma, I'm so stupid. This North County is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It seems that I need to stay a little longer and observe again..."
The old Taoist pinched the sky and muttered to himself, and a woman said: "Old pervert, what are you muttering about?"
The old Taoist retracted his thoughts, with a smile on his face again, and said: "Do you want to buy the talisman I just mentioned? It is very effective. People who have used it say it is good..."
…
Li Mu walked into the county government office, and not long after, Capt. Zhao came to check the room.
"There's something wrong with the rain..." He wiped the rain off his face and said, "The Lord Commander said it shouldn't rain these days. Something must have happened."
Li Mu asked suspiciously: "What can affect the rain?"
Zhao Captou said: "There are too many. Soul-condensing practitioners can use the wind to spread fog, and condensing gods can even pray for sunshine and rain. Whenever a new Taoist magical power is born, there will also be visions of heaven and earth...
…”
Li Mu was suddenly startled, and then he realized a problem.
The heaven and earth in this world are not the sky and earth he sees with his eyes.
A practitioner's Taoist oath is sworn to heaven and earth. If he violates it, he will be punished by heaven.
In other words, God is really watching what people are doing.
Just now, he used Dou E's story to scold the world for being bully and afraid of the strong, not discriminating between good and evil, and mistaking the virtuous and foolish for nothing. Couldn't this be the reason why it rained?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a possibility. It seemed that thunder and lightning started outside, and when the rain was the strongest, it was when he talked about Dou E's vow.
Li Mu immediately determined that the line must be changed. It would be enough to just scold the corrupt officials. It was best not to involve everything in the world.
If God is dissatisfied with him and curses him, and a thunder strikes down, it will be too late for him to regret.
Fortunately, the rain didn't last long. Li Mu returned to the county government office. Within a quarter of an hour, the sky cleared again. The sky was as clear as blue, without even a cloud. If it weren't for the puddles on the ground, there were still wet marks.
, I’m afraid no one will think that it rained just now.
When Capt. Zhao left the duty room, he told Li Mudao: "You stay here and don't leave the Yamen. Everyone will follow the Lord Commander to visit the National Temple in a while."
Every county in the Zhou Dynasty built a national temple. Li Mu also visited it once when he was in Yangqiu County, but the national temple in Yangqiu County was completely incomparable with the one in the county.
This is a large hall that covers a huge area. Although it has only one floor, it is at least three feet high. When you walk into the National Temple, the first thing you see are three towering huge statues. It makes people step into the National Temple.
The first step will give rise to an impulse to worship.
There are hundreds of futons in the hall, and the people of Beijun are kneeling neatly on them.
People lined up, walked in from the entrance, and after paying homage, walked out from the exit.
Li Mu noticed that almost 90% of the people, when they visited the three statues, would generate a trace of telepathy in their bodies and be slowly inhaled by the three statues.
National temples are the same as temples and Taoist temples. As long as people worship sincerely, they will have the power of telepathy. Those who do not have the power of telepathy must have some kind of dissatisfaction with the court or local officials.
This is inevitable. Even if it is a national temple, there is no way to force the people to believe in it. To a certain extent, the proportion of people who have telekinesis represents the public sentiment of the court.
The proportion of people in a region who have telekinesis when visiting the national temple is an important indicator for assessing the performance of local officials.
If a place has good public security and people live and work in peace and contentment, they will naturally have full confidence in the court.
And if the officials in a place are unkind and exploit the common people, causing complaints and complaints among the people, and the people are in dire straits, there will not be much thought power generated.
People from the county government visit the national temple, firstly to pay homage, and secondly to observe the local people's sentiments.
Judging from the situation at the scene, only a very small number of people did not have telekinesis in their bodies. This also shows that the people have great trust in the Beijun government.
Li Mu looked at the three statues in the hall and asked, "Who are these three people?"
Capt. Zhao glanced at him and asked, "Have you never been here before?"
Li Mu shook his head: "No."
Zhao Captou said in surprise: "Even if you have never been here, you should have seen the portraits of Taizu, Wuzong, and Emperor Wen, right?"
After Zhao Captou's reminder, Li Mu finally searched for information about these three statues in his mind.
Emperor Taizu was the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He conquered the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty and divided the Great Zhou Dynasty into thirty-six counties.
During the reign of Emperor Wuzong, he used iron-blooded means to clear up domestic turmoil and frighten neighboring countries so that they did not dare to invade. During Wuzong's reign, the national power of the Great Zhou Dynasty grew rapidly and intimidated all parties.
The last Emperor Wen, during his fifty years in power, worked hard to govern and purify the court, making the people in the thirty-six counties of the country stable, and the seas, rivers and rivers clear. The famous "Government of Emperor Wen" has been influential to this day.
These three emperors are all emperors with outstanding achievements in the history of the Zhou Dynasty. They are qualified to erect statues in national temples and accept worship from the people of the Zhou Dynasty.
A policeman looked at the statues of the three emperors and could not help but feel admiration. Then a trace of unwillingness appeared on his face, and he whispered: "Taizu, Wuzong, and Emperor Wen are such outstanding people. The Xiao Dynasty lasted for hundreds of years."
Years ago, it ended up being stolen by a woman with a foreign surname..."
"Shut up!" Capt. Zhao slapped him hard on the head and said, "You dare to say anything. If you want to die, don't get involved with us!"
Li Mu raised his head and glanced at the three holy statues, but he didn't have any special feelings in his heart.
Your Majesty is the first queen since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. In the hearts of some people in the Zhou Dynasty, this is tantamount to reversing the ethical principles, and it is still an unacceptable thing.
However, for Li Mu, it was not uncommon for a woman to be an emperor since ancient times, and it was not something that was difficult to accept.
He followed the Lord Lieutenant and worshiped the three icons not so sincerely. After returning to the Yamen, he learned about the new errand from Capt. Zhao.
During the visit to the national temple just now, the people in a certain area did not have telekinesis in their bodies.
After investigation by the county government, it was discovered that these people were all from Yang County.
They learned from these people that plague broke out in several villages in Yang County, but the Yang County government did nothing and allowed the plague to spread, causing panic among the people of Yang County.
Yang County and Yu County happen to be the two counties managed by Capt. Zhao. Tomorrow morning, he will take a few people to Yang County to investigate the situation, and Li Mu will also go with him.
Although Yang County is not far from the county seat, considering that it takes time to run errands, I may not be able to make it back tomorrow night.
During the meal, Li Mu told Liu Hanyan about tomorrow's business trip. After the meal, she helped Li Mu pack a small baggage and said, "I don't know how long it will take to come back. I packed two changes for you."
Clothes, when the time comes, just bring back the dirty clothes you changed out of, and be careful outside."
Li Mu was not worried about his own safety at all. With Bai Yi in hand, unless the King of Chu Jiang came in person, ordinary demons and evil cultivators would not pose much of a threat to him.
On the contrary, he was a little worried about them. Although he had taught Liu Hanyan the thunder method and the weapon, she lacked experience in fighting enemies and might not be able to use her full strength when encountering danger.
However, nothing should happen within the county. Li Mu has already asked Li Si to pay attention to them, and also told Xiaobai to stay in her room and not run around. She is now at the critical moment of transformation, and the demon in her body
Her Qi was disordered, so Li Mu posted breath-containing charms outside her room. Every night, he used Buddhist magic to help her comb her body in order to control her demonic Qi.
For this reason, he has not practiced double cultivation with Liu Hanyan for several days.
In the early morning, Li Mu opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
Yesterday, I helped Xiaobai suppress the demonic energy until late at night. His magic power was almost exhausted, and he did not practice any practice, but simply slept with his clothes on.
Li Mu was about to get out of bed, but his right hand accidentally touched a smooth body.
Li Mu's first thought was that Liu Hanyan did something to him while he was sleeping last night, but when he looked down, he found that his clothes were well worn and looked exactly the same as before he went to sleep last night.
He slowly turned his head and saw a strange girl lying naked on his bed.
The girl is eighteen or nineteen years old, has jet black hair, and is extremely beautiful. Even with her eyes closed, her whole body is charming and moving.
Li Mu sat on the bed, his mind going blank for a moment.
"Why don't you get up yet? Don't you have to go to Yang County..." Liu Hanyan walked to the door and opened the door directly with magic power. When he saw the scene on the bed, he froze on the spot.
