And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 129
Chen Yuan continued to walk towards Changlong County. The road was full of devastation, and the scene of locusts eating the crops was overwhelming.

Even some of the vegetation on the side of the road suffered suddenly.

Part of the leaves of many trees have been eaten away, leaving only bare stakes.

Chen Yuan came all the way to Changlong County. After arriving in Changlong County, he discovered that the whole city of Changlong County was low and old, and the rammed earth areas in many places were even low and dilapidated.

In front of the city gate, there were many men, women and children in ragged clothes, disheveled hair, and disheveled faces. There were hundreds of them, lying or sitting, begging on both sides of the road entering the county.

Before Chen Yuan entered Changlong County, he felt a sense of dilapidation and desolation.

This kind of catastrophe was only recorded in ancient history books in the previous life, and this was the first time Chen Yuan had seen it since time travelling.

"Daoist, please show kindness!"

"We haven't eaten for two or three days."

"We don't need money, as long as you give us something to eat."

"We adults can still hold on, but children may not be able to hold on."

"It's really hard to feel hungry, my stomach is rumbling, and my heart is empty, as if my intestines are fighting each other."

The people begging on both sides of the road saw Chen Yuan, a Taoist priest with outstanding looks, extraordinary temperament, and extraordinary dress, passing by, a gleam of joy flashed in their eyes, and they prayed to Chen Yuan one after another.

However, they didn't move their bodies, they were still sitting or lying on the spot, and their little physical strength was not enough to support them to do other movements.

Although the people begging on both sides of the road were miserable, Chen Yuan did not have the habit of carrying dry food with him.

Moreover, this plague of locusts cannot be solved by giving alms to one or two of them alone.

Chen Yuan knew that if he showed kindness at this time, he might be swarmed by the begging people at the gate of the city, making it difficult to escape.

Chen Yuan walked past these begging people in front of the city gate. Just as Chen Yuan entered the city gate, he was blocked by a person at the entrance of the city gate.

This person was wearing a light green robe, followed by two Yamen policemen in soap suits with long knives hanging from their waists.

Chen Yuan took a closer look, only to find that this was actually a local official in Changlong County.

Because the other party was not wearing an official hat, Chen Yuan was able to recognize the other party without first sighting.

The official in front of him looked like a middle-aged man, with a short beard under his chin, disheveled hair, bloodshot eyes, a very bad spirit and a haggard look.

"Huang Datong, the magistrate of Changlong County, paid his respects to Daoist Qingming. I'm already at the gate of the city, waiting for the arrival of Daoist. It's been half a day."

After the official stopped Chen Yuan, he was overjoyed and said.

While speaking, the tone was extremely respectful and polite, and at the same time, it was like seeing a savior.

"You recognize me?"

Chen Yuan looked at the local official in front of him, and said with a surprised expression.

"That's right, I know the Taoist priest."

This official named Huang Datong who claimed to be the magistrate of Changlong County bowed to Chen Yuan.

"Dare to ask, but did you come by boat from the east? The Taoist name is Qingming?"

The magistrate of Changlong asked Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan thought about it carefully, he came from Luzhou Mansion, and Luzhou Mansion is in the east of Chuzhou Mansion, so he really came from the east.

In addition, this time I traveled by water, I did come by boat.

"That's right, Pindao came here by boat from the east, and his name is Qingming."

Chen Yuan nodded and nodded.

"That's right. A man of God told me in a dream that there is a handsome-looking Taoist priest with a dusty temperament, wearing a dark blue Taoist robe, and a youthful appearance. His Taoist name is Qingming. He came today by boat from the east. Passing through Changlong County can solve the danger of locust plague in Changlong County, as long as the officials wait at the gate of the west city of Changlong County, they can wait for the arrival of Daoist Qingming."

Huang Datong, magistrate of Changlong County, said to Chen Yuan.

"Today, I was waiting for the Taoist priest at the gate of the city before dawn. Sure enough, when the Taoist priest Qing Ming arrived, it seems that our Changlong County is saved."

The magistrate of Changlong's face was full of surprises.

Chen Yuan froze in place for a moment.

Hearing the meaning of the magistrate of Changlong County, it seems that there is a man of God who he does not know, who has the ability of a prophet, knowing that he will pass through Changlong County today, and deliberately entrusted the magistrate of Changlong County to wait for him here.

It's just that the man of God, who has the ability to predict the future, knows that he will pass through Changlong County?
"Wait, magistrate, the poor Taoist is just an ordinary Taoist with low skills. The locust plague in Changlong County is a natural disaster, and ordinary Taoists can't change it."

Chen Yuan shook his head.

"However, since that man of god can entrust me with a dream in advance, saying that the chief can save the people of the entire Changlong County, it means that the Taoist chief is not a mortal, and he is probably a fairy who travels in the world. You must have a way to save the people of the entire Changlong County of."

The county magistrate of Changlong said to Chen Yuandao.

"Did the man of God who gave you a dream tell you how to save the people of Changlong County after you find Pindao?"

Chen Yuan asked helplessly.

He didn't even know that he had such great ability and ability.

If the plague of locusts covering a county is to be eliminated, I am afraid that it will be possible to have real immortals with the ability of immortals.

"That's it, the man of God said, as long as you find the Taoist priest, ask for a letter from the Taoist priest willing to make decisions for the people of Changlong County, and then three days later, in the gazebo ten miles north of the city, use yellow mud Set up a statue of the locust god and burn this document to the locust god, and the locust plague in Changlong County will naturally recede, and the problem will be solved."

Huang Datong explained to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan was surprised when he heard the words, he really didn't expect that a document he wrote would have such a great power!
"I don't know if I can ask the Taoist priest for a letter willing to make decisions for the people of Changlong County?"

"The people of Changlong County will never forget the great kindness and virtue of the Taoist priest, and will erect a temple statue for the Taoist priest to worship the Taoist priest."

"Changlong County has been ravaged by the locust plague for two months. If this continues, the crops and vegetation in the entire Changlong County will be eaten up by the locusts. The people of Changlong County will also suffer catastrophe."

Then Huang Datong said again.

Chen Yuan heard the pleading in Huang Datong's tone when he spoke.

"The locust plague has happened for such a long time, so the government and the court don't care?"

Chen Yuan thought of another relationship.

It stands to reason that in prefectures and counties where locust plagues have occurred, local officials have reported layer by layer, and after the court learns, they will find ways to relieve the disaster and survive the locust plague.

"The Daoist doesn't know that the imperial court is in a state of desperation. The Northwest is at war with the Hu people. The Pingyang Mansion in Hedong has suffered a rare drought for decades. The red land is thousands of miles away. Encountering floods and becoming a swamped country, that is a catastrophe that affects millions of people, compared to the locust plague in Changlong County, it is nothing in the eyes of the imperial court."

"What's more, the prefect of Chuzhou Prefecture, who just took office not long ago, has a great background, but he is not a capable official, so the locust plague in Changlong County has been dragged on."

Huang Datong explained with a bitter expression.

"Since it is for the tens of thousands of people in Changlong County, I am willing to write this document."

Chen Yuan finally agreed.

He just agreed to help write a document, willing to make decisions for tens of thousands of people in Changlong County. As for whether this document will work, only God knows.

"Great, please ask the Taoist priest to move to the county government office with the officials."

Hearing Chen Yuan's promise, Huang Datong, the county magistrate, said happily.

He felt that since he followed the instructions of the god in the dream and found the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest also agreed to help write a document, he felt that the locust plague in Changlong County would be lifted immediately.

"Lead the way ahead."

Chen Yuan nodded.

The reason why he agreed to Huang Datong, the magistrate of Changlong County, was that he also wanted to see who was the god-man who could realize the foresight in Huang Datong's dream?
Under the leadership of Huang Datong, the magistrate of Changlong County, Chen Yuan walked on the streets of Changlong County.

I saw that the streets of Changlong County were dilapidated, most of the shops were closed, and the streets were sparsely populated.

A group of four soon arrived at the Changlong County Government Office.
