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

Chapter 47 Auspicious Omens
Li Chengqian thought of Yuan Shouwei's hexagram and shivered.Without any time to think, he quickly turned over and dismounted.

At the same time, he sternly shouted at the guards riding behind him: "Get off the horse quickly."

The guards didn't know Yuan Shouwei's warning to Li Chengqian.

The clever one was directly protecting Li Chengqian. Seeing that the locust was rushing this way, he might be able to do some good work as a protector.

Some simply turned over and dismounted; some did not react and were pounced upon by the galloping locusts. Their horses were frightened, and with a roar, they stood up and threw their masters to the ground.

And the horse galloped away directly with its owner, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Fortunately, the locust swarms left just as quickly as they came. They quickly passed by them and headed straight for the crops in the fields.

Li Chengqian also stood up and looked at the mess around him.

Several guards were injured. The most serious one was a guard who was trampled on his thigh by a frightened horse. Judging from the degree of twisting of the leg, it was probably broken.Li Chengqian asked people to carry the guards to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

And there was already a shocking wave in my heart, this Yuan Shou was a true god.Because of his warning, he escaped disaster.

At this time, Wei Yingcai also got the information, and Pegasus rushed over.Ignore the locusts that are eating the crops in the fields.

Dismounted and knelt down in front of Li Chengqian:

"My subordinate deserves to die for his crime. He secretly handled the locust eggs, causing the Locust God to express his anger towards His Highness."

"All sins are caused by my subordinates. Please punish me, Your Highness."

Li Chengqian looked at the locusts that were eating crops not far away, with a trace of undisguised disgust in his eyes.

I also looked at the people kneeling there praying; I looked at some young people standing in the distance, clenched their fists one by one, watching the locusts angrily and helplessly, but they did not dare to move rashly.

I suddenly felt a mixed feeling in my heart.

He looked at Wei Yingcai who was kneeling on the ground and said, somewhat contradictoryly:

"This is just a coincidence, Yingcai, don't think too much about it."

"Just... let's just stop cleaning the locust eggs."

"Let me find a way to get the best of both worlds."

Wei Yingcai repeatedly agreed, and asked someone to do it immediately, while she stood beside Li Chengqian in a daze.

They didn't dare to mess around there, for fear that he would have another accident.

Li Chengqian's heart is indeed in torment now.

He is a believer and a Buddhist, so he always holds a state of awe for these gods and ghosts.

Otherwise, we would not have adopted amnesty and built a Taoist temple to treat the eldest grandson's illness.

At the same time, the education he received was to focus on the common people in the world, and to solve problems for the common people.

But now he is faced with a dilemma:
The god he feared was now slaughtering the people he was meant to protect.

How can this be good?

Some people may say, then kill the gods for the sake of the people I want to protect.

But that is actually the thinking of our modern people, not the thinking of the ancients.

We can imagine it.

Suppose you are an ancient citizen who lacks scientific knowledge and works diligently to open up wasteland and cultivate land.

Just as the wheat seedlings were about to mature, tens of millions of locusts suddenly fell from the sky, dense enough to induce trypophobia.

Eat all your wheat seedlings in an instant, and then walk away without a trace. Do you think this is something that cannot be explained?

For people in a state of ignorance, anything that cannot be explained is shrouded in mystery and can be explained by "miracles."

It is precisely because of this that the locust plague was considered an inviolable "miracle" in ancient times.

Li Chengqian still couldn't think of a solution until he watched the swarm of locusts finish eating the crops in front of him and then rush to another crop field.

Since you can't do anything yourself, then find someone to think of a way.

He thought of Yuan Shouwei immediately.

Yes, since the Immortal Elder can foresee his own good and bad luck, he can also find a way to deal with the locusts.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian immediately got on his horse and rushed back to Huayin County.At this time, Yuan Shouwei had also received the reward: Jade Xiao Sword and "Yu Xiao Sword Technique".

He didn't expect that there were actually two jade flute swords, one dark green and one pure white.

The dark green one is slightly longer than the pure white one. It is obvious that it is a pair of swords.

"Jade Xiao Sword Art" focuses on attacking the enemy's acupoints, and the sword style is chic and elegant. It is a sword method that has been transformed from the jade flute.

The elegant and fancy sword moves are not only beautiful to look at, but the internal energy poured into the sword creates a sticky force that can absorb other people's weapons.

Yuan Shouwei opened the album and took a closer look at the moves inside:

[The history of the flute rides on the dragon] [The clear sound outside the mountain] [The golden sound and the jade vibration] [The phoenix song sings for a long time] [Ring across the tower] [The song is flowing] [The jade leakage reminds the silver arrow].
He nodded in satisfaction, that's not bad.

The swords are beautiful and have elegant moves, and I was given two of them. They were obviously prepared for me and Wu Fu.

Yuan Shouwei learned the "Yu Xiao Sword Technique" while playing with the Jade Flute Sword, and planned to take time to give it to Wu Fu.

After finishing his work, he thought carefully about the fortune-telling process for Li Chengqian.

I thought to myself, maybe after this incident, Li Chengqian's mentality has not changed, and there is no possibility of going dark.

Thinking of this, his mood became much happier again, and he began to tend to his own crops.

At this moment, he heard another rush of footsteps down the mountain,

Looking up, he saw a group of people rushing over in a hurry. The person in front of him was Li Chengqian.

Why are you here again, to thank me?

Or is it for me to ask for a title deed?
No, he is not Yuan Tiangang after all!

Li Chengqian came up to him out of breath and bowed deeply, "Please teach me, Taoist Priest."

After finishing speaking, he told Yuan Shouwei about his affairs in Liquan County, and expressed his entanglement in his heart.

Yuan Shouwei recalled the tragic experiences of locust plagues in history, where people exchanged their children for food in a vast wilderness.

Without thinking, he blurted out: "Destroy them."

Li Chengqian didn't expect that Yuan Shouwei would have such an angry side when he saw him floating out of the dust. He said hesitantly: "That's the Locust God."

Yuan Shouwei curled his lips, "Fart! It's just an insect."

"They contain a substance called hemoglobin in their bodies. Once this substance rises, it is equivalent to a military order, calling them together to harm crops."

Li Chengqian was confused when he heard this, and asked tentatively:

"Is this hemoglobin that the Taoist mentioned is the Locust God?"

Yuan Shouwei couldn't help but smile. He knew that Li Chengqian had been educated by gods and ghosts for so many years. It was unrealistic to turn him into a locust fighter in a short time. It was better to find a compromise.

He looked at Li Chengqian, "Why don't you and I calculate together, where is the origin of this locust plague, and how to solve it?"

"Didn't it mean that fortune tellers don't calculate themselves?" Li Chengqian asked suspiciously.

I don’t know, because I haven’t calculated it for myself, but I can cheat. Yuan Shouwei complained silently and explained:
"That's what other people said. There is no such statement about my stargazing lineage."

After saying that, he took out the compass, put his hands on it, and motioned to Li Chengqian with confident eyes.

Li Chengqian had no doubts about his miraculous predictions, and when he saw him saying this, he put his hands up without hesitation.

Yuan Shouwei put on a show, then mobilized his inner strength to force the needle to turn.

After the pointer stops,
He looked at the hexagram and said:

"Monsters and monsters are born from the heart, but it is difficult for all living beings to understand them.

"Nine sons and nine daughters are alone awake, and finally there will be more help when the clouds open."

【good omen】.

Looking at the hexagrams, Li Chengqian was also overjoyed.

He said to Yuan Shouwei: "Taoist Master, please explain these hexagrams to me again."
