Datang: Starting from a fortune-telling stall, Wu Zetian was suddenly abducted

Chapter 367 Witnesses
Following a wave of spiritual power, countless earth dragons emerged and lifted the entire piece of land into the air.

Countless amounts of soil rose into the sky, along with the sparse wheat seedlings rising up like a sandstorm.

The old farmer not far away suddenly opened his mouth in shock. This Taoist priest is a god.What kind of magic was used to lift up the entire land?

Looking at Yuan Shouwei at this time, he did not stop at all. Even if he used the ladder cloud under his feet, he stepped into the air. He swung out the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand and used the Tai Chi sword technique to gather the turbulent soil together, like a tornado, directly All the soil was pushed to the edge of the field and piled into a big mound.

The old farmer on the side was dumbfounded again, looking at everything in front of him with a dull expression, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Yuan Shouwei looked at the large pit that was more than ten feet long and two or three meters deep under his feet, and nodded with satisfaction:
After upgrading this martial realm, the control of spiritual power has obviously improved a lot.

He flew down from the air, circled around the big mound of soil, and calculated the amount of soil. It was more than enough.

Then he turned to the old farmer beside him and said:

"Old man, I want this dirt. You see if the money is enough. If not, I will get you some more."

The old farmer came back to his senses at this moment, tremblingly picked up the copper coins in his hand, moved stiffly towards Yuan Shouwei, and said nervously:
"Taoist. No, Immortal. It's me who can't see Mount Tai. I offended you, a living god."

"How dare I take your money? Take this money back and use this soil as you wish."

"If it's not enough, you can take away all the soil from my more than ten acres of land."

Only then did Yuan Shouwei realize that his actions just now should have frightened the old farmer. Just as he was about to comfort him, he suddenly heard an angry shout from above the embankment:

"Where did you come from? I don't know that the land around the embankment cannot be excavated for private use. Are you trying to get into jail?"

Yuan Shouwei and the old farmer followed the sound and saw more than a dozen people hurriedly walking towards them on the embankment in the distance.

The person in front, wearing official clothes and with a dark face, was already in front of them when he spoke.

Yuan Shouwei couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and said in his heart:

I didn't dig on the embankment.Moreover, I first went around the embankment to take a look, and when I saw the river water was strong, I decided to go back and dig soil under the embankment.

And it was not in vain, the money was returned.

Why didn't he say anything and just reprimanded him?

The old farmer on the side obviously knew the person coming. He stepped forward and saluted the person:
"I've seen Master Cui. I haven't heard that the soil around the embankment is not allowed to be dug?"

After hearing this, the man immediately put away his fierce attitude towards Yuan Shouwei, and instead said to the old farmer kindly:

"Old man, that's what happened."

"There is a lot of rain this year and the flood season is long. Our Liquan is connected to the Yellow River, so the river water rises faster."

"Wei Ming Mansion has just issued a notice. Not only the soil on the embankment cannot be excavated at will, but also the surrounding land. The main reason is that if the river water overflows the warning, we have to dig nearby to block the embankment."

After explaining it to the old farmer, he took the notice from a person next to him, read it to the old farmer and said:

"I was going to tell you Muramasa about this."

"Didn't I just happen to catch you guys digging here?"

After hearing this, the old farmer understood what was going on. He turned to Yuan Shouwei, handed the money back to him, and said with an apologetic look:

"Taoist Master, look at what happened. You also heard the announcement just issued by the county government."

"It wouldn't be appropriate for me to sell it again."

"Otherwise, you still have the money, but I can fill it back with the soil myself."

When Yuan Shouwei heard this, he was unhappy.

He did not embarrass the old farmer, but looked at Chief Cui and said:

"Pindao has met Master Cui."

"I can understand what you just said, but everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis."

"I buy land first, and you read the county government notice later. This doesn't allow me to buy land. Do you think it's reasonable?"

Instead, I left the question to him.After hearing this, Master Cui did not reply immediately, but frowned and started thinking.

The few guards behind him suddenly became unhappy, and one of them scolded:

"Why do you, a Taoist priest, have so many lies?"

"If I don't let you buy it, I won't let you buy it. Fill it back with soil quickly and leave your people."

"Aren't you afraid of taking you into prison?"

Another person with an upturned nose also helped by saying:

"What notices are in front and behind."

"Let me tell you, you are destroying the embankment, and you will be exiled according to the law."

"At a young age, it's called obstructing public affairs. If you take it to the county government, you will be beaten twenty whips first, and then you will be sent to a prison to await trial."

Before Yuan Shouwei could speak, the old farmer next to him was frightened and quickly advised Yuan Shouwei:
"Chief Immortal, please leave quickly. I will never sell this soil again."

"If the people don't fight with the officials, no matter how capable you are, you won't be able to fight against the officials."

Yuan Shouwei didn't care about these bluffing words. He just looked at Master Cui with a smile and waited for his reply.

When Master Cui heard the old farmer calling Yuan Shouwei the Immortal Leader, he immediately came up with an idea. A trace of smile appeared on his face and then disappeared, and he said to Yuan Shouwei calmly:
"The Taoist priest is right. So, dig out the soil first."

"After you dug it away, this notice is here. Now I order you to return the soil."

"How about the time, just before sunset?"

As soon as he said this, the dozen or so officers behind him all applauded and secretly gave a thumbs up:
I must also say that Mr. Cui is indeed a scholar and has a good brain.You see, this response is watertight.

At this time, many people had gathered around to watch. After hearing Master Cui's words, they all stretched their heads to look at the big pit. After reading it, they couldn't help but take a breath and commented:

"This pit is almost half an acre in size, and it must be six feet deep. When did the chief dig it?"

"I don't know when it was dug, but if you want to fill it in, you will need more than ten strong men and more than 20 horse-drawn carriages to pull it for a day."

"It will take at least one day. Let me tell you that this Taoist priest must admit his mistake and leave as soon as possible."

Chief Cui obviously heard everyone's discussion and looked at Yuan Shouwei with a joking smile on his face.

It’s time to show off in front of me. Yuan Shouwei met Master Cui’s gaze and said with a smile:

"Does Chief Cui really mean what he said?"

Chief Cui nodded indifferently and said:
"really."

Yuan Shouwei continued to ask:
"Not fake?"

"That's true." Master Cui replied without hesitation.

Yuan Shouwei continued to chatter:

"Then do you want to make a written statement?"

Before Chief Cui could speak, the broom brow behind him said impatiently:
"If you can't accomplish something, what kind of evidence can you establish?"

"Just do it, we and the surrounding people will be witnesses."

After hearing this, Yuan Shouwei also nodded to the people watching the excitement around him and said:

"Okay, then let's ask all the neighbors to be witnesses."

As soon as he finished speaking, he used the ladder at his feet and stepped into the air step by step, and then took out two Five Elements Earth Talisman from his pocket.

As the mantra was spoken, the two talismans floated into the big pit.

After a while, loess appeared at the bottom of the pit, and it quickly filled the entire pit, flat and flat, with no more and no less.
