And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 133 Immortal Master Qingming
Not long after Chen Yuan had just left, Zhujun Bixulang also planned to leave.

"Let you speak up and reveal the secrets of the god! Since you want to save the people of Changlong County, then let yourself suffer from the locust plague instead of the people!"

Just at this moment, Zhujun Bixulang put back the steps he had just stepped on, because he heard the voice of an old woman in his ear.

Zhujun Bixulang's expression changed, he raised his head and glanced at the sky, only to see a few groups of "dark clouds" floating from the southeast in the originally cloudless sky.

When they got closer, Zhujun Bixulang took a closer look and found that these were not dark clouds at all, but clouds of locusts flying across the sky, covering the sky and the sun.

Seeing the cloud of locusts flying from a distance, Zhujun Bixulang's expression changed slightly.

He didn't expect that Taoist Qing Ming, who had just left not long ago, would turn his words into a prophecy. As expected, the Locust God already knew that it was he who did this.

"I regret that I should have followed the Taoist priest's good words."

Mr. Zhu looked at the dense cloud of locusts flying from not far away, covering the sky and the sun, and he knew that his life was not long.

When he observed the insect cloud above his head, the locust cloud in the air had come from far to near, and came to him. The insect cloud swept past and swallowed him instantly. trace.

On the same day, people in Changlong County discovered that the locusts that had already left had flown back.

However, these locusts no longer ate crops and vegetation, but only ate bamboo that grew everywhere in Changlong County.

Within a few days, the bamboo leaves and bamboo shoots of the bamboos in Changlong County were all eaten, and the bamboo poles were withered and yellow. There was no exception. Even the Xiangfei bamboo planted in the homes of wealthy families is no exception.

And this also made the people of Changlong County, who had just survived the locust plague and were in the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, feel amazed, and it became a miracle that the local people talked about the most.

that night.

Huang Datong, the magistrate of Changlong County, who worked hard all day to arrange various government orders after the locust disaster in Changlong County to ensure that the people in Changlong County suffered the least damage, returned to the backyard of the county government to sleep and rest very late.

That night, he had a strange dream.

Huang Datong, the magistrate, dreamed of the man of God who told him how to help the people of Changlong County survive the locust plague. He came to the county government in the middle of the night, informed him of his name, and asked him for help.

The other party told his real identity. It turned out that he was the elf of all the bamboos in Changlong County. Now the God of Locusts knew that he was the one who informed the magistrate and told the magistrate how to help the people of Changlong County to survive the locust disaster, so he was seeking revenge from him. .

If this continues, he will die soon.

If Huang Datong, the county magistrate, wanted to save him, he would have to make the ins and outs of this matter known to the public. If the people were grateful to him and willing to spontaneously build a statue for him, he would be able to avoid this catastrophe and survive safely.

After the divine man left, Huang Datong, the magistrate of the county, woke up in his sleep in the middle of the night, and sat up suddenly from the bed.

"The details of this dream are so clear and real. I'm afraid it's not an ordinary dream. It may really be that Mr. Zhu who saved the entire Changlong County people is asking for help from me."

Huang Datong was wearing unlined clothes, looking at the hazy moonlight outside the window, thinking.

"Regardless of Lord Zhu's identity, he is the benefactor of the people of Changlong County and even the official. He was envied by the Locust God to seek revenge for helping the people of Changlong County. This official and the people of Changlong County have a duty to do so."

After a while, Huang Datong made up his mind to help Mr. Zhu.

After getting up the next day.

He ordered the yamen to write this matter into a bulletin and post it outside the city wall of Changlong County.

The people of Changlong County, who had just survived the locust plague, only found out after reading the bulletin that the locusts flew away suddenly because of the help of Mr. Zhu and the Taoist priest named Qingming.

No one can understand how desperate the people of Changlong County, who have just experienced the locust plague, feel in their hearts.

Most of them have been prepared to starve to death after a whole year of no harvest.

But who knew, it would turn around.

The people of Changlong County immediately built thirteen temples spontaneously in the next one or two months.

Half of them were worshiping Lord Zhu, and the other half were worshiping the young Taoist who called himself Layman Qingming and passed by here.

Although Mr. Zhu is a strange elf born of bamboo, he has made great merit in helping Changlong County survive the locust plague. The people of Changlong County built a temple for him and erected a clay statue of him, calling him the "God of Bamboo".

As for the young Taoist...

According to the county magistrate and the rich country gentry who had met the young Taoist priest, he was handsome in appearance and had an extraordinary temperament.

So the people built a temple and called the Taoist "Immortal Master Qingming".

……

Chen Yuan didn't know this.

After he left Changlong County, he continued to walk in the direction of Jianghuai City.

With his footsteps, it would take two or three days to walk from Changlong County to Jianghuai City.

It's just that the law and order in Chuzhou Prefecture is obviously not as good as that in Luzhou Prefecture.

Chen Yuan had only traveled thirty or forty miles before he encountered two groups of bandits blocking his way.

However, these bandits were more disciplined. Seeing that Chen Yuan was a Taoist priest, they didn't make things difficult for Chen Yuan.

After reading Chen Yuan's certificate and confirming that Chen Yuan is not a fake Taoist priest, he let Chen Yuan go.

So far, Chen Yuan has not encountered unruly bandits.

Of course, with Chen Yuan's strength, he is not afraid of encountering unruly bandits, at worst, he just needs to fight them.

"It would be nice to have an animal for transportation."

After traveling for a long time, Chen Yuan felt a little bored, and he sighed while resting under the roadside tree.

Although there are many beautiful scenery along the way, when you first look at it, you will feel beautiful, but after looking at it for a long time, you will feel that way.

And if you drive on your own, it is better to ride on an animal.

"It's okay, Chen Yuan, when the little yellow dog grows up, you can ride on it."

At this moment, Xueniang poked her head out of the baggage that Chen Yuan put beside her at the right time and said.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

As soon as Xue Niang finished speaking, the little yellow dog poked its head out from the bundle, barking at the little yellow dog.

Because the little yellow dog stayed with Chen Yuan for a long time, although he has not yet become a dog demon, he also has some spirituality and can understand human language.

So after hearing Xueniang say that she wants to grow up by herself, Chen Yuan rode on her own way, and it immediately stretched out its head to protest.

"That can't be done, the little yellow dog is so small, even if it grows up, it can't support my weight."

Chen Yuan shook his head and said.

Hearing Chen Yuan's words, the little yellow dog breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped barking, but looked at Xueniang next to him with a somewhat airy gaze.

"It's a pity Xue Niang, you are a rat demon, if you are a horse demon or a cow demon, maybe I can ride you on the road."

Chen Yuan looked at Xueniang, and said in a half-joking tone.

Although Xueniang is much bigger than a normal mouse and is about the same size as a civet cat, there is a huge gap between a little yellow dog when she grows up, let alone riding her on the road.

Seeing that Chen Yuan wanted to ride on his own, even though she knew that Chen Yuan was joking, Xue Niang was so frightened that she shrank her head and got into her bag, never daring to show her face again.

After Chen Yuan saw that Xueniang was dismissed with a few words, he stopped talking. After drinking water and resting for a while, he picked up the sword box and baggage beside him, got up and continued on his way.

But it was true that he wanted to have an animal on the road.

"Looks like we'll have to find a way to buy a horse."

When Chen Yuan was on his way, he thought to himself.

Having a horse in this world is like having a car before crossing, it can be said to be the most powerful proof of your family background.

In this world, a horse is worth a lot.

The lesser is seven or eight guan, that is, seven or eight taels of silver, and the more is one or two hundred guan, or one or two hundred taels of silver.

It is not surprising that some treasure horses are worth thousands of gold.

Some BMWs are a symbol of the status of officials and royal families, let alone riding them, even if they are taken out, they can attract the attention of others.

Of course, Chen Yuan just wanted to buy a horse for transportation.

In the blink of an eye, it was dark.

Seeing that there was no place in front of the village and no shops behind, Chen Yuan thought that he could only sleep in the wilderness for a night in the wild mountains.

Who knew that just before dark, on the side of a low mountain next to an official road, I saw a lonely ancient temple.

The ancient temple is not big, if you don't look carefully, you won't find it at all.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan's eyesight is stronger than ordinary people, so he just discovered it.

"Let's spend the night in this temple tonight."

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Chen Yuan said to Xue Niang in the bundle behind his back.

Then, without waiting for Xueniang to respond, he found the mountain path up the mountain by the side of the road, and walked along the difficult mountain path to the ancient temple on the side of the mountain.

Although the mountain road is difficult to walk, it is still possible to settle down. People often walk by, which shows that this ancient temple is usually inhabited, not an uninhabited temple that has been abandoned for a long time.

A quarter of an hour later, Chen Yuan arrived in front of this ancient temple before dark.
