191 Heavenly Master went down to earth
The so-called superstition is a way of thinking with a wrong understanding of things. Especially when people are desperate about what they know, they are more likely to believe it.
Especially in this era, many people have no cultural knowledge, and the theory of gods and ghosts is even deeper into the bone marrow of thought. Coupled with the sudden outbreak of the epidemic, the group of doctors are helpless, so people naturally think of ghosts and gods.
The team slowly passed in front of him and happened to be on the same road as Liu Liwa. He naturally followed the team until he came to an open area in the city. This place used to be a market. Most of the farmers sold some surplus grain and vegetables at home, which was the largest grass-roots gathering place. At this time, there were also some clothes around the Taoist priest. Simple, nervous but extremely devout grassroots.
The middle-aged Taoist priest held a bronze bell, jingled, and read a word in his mouth. A mahogany sword pointed straight to the sky, looking like a Taoist. Several Taoist children around him sprinkled spiritual charms and shouted in unison: "The heavenly master comes to the mortal, eliminate demons and catch ghosts, saves lives and heals the wounded, and saves all sentient beings..."
This open space has been ready for a few days. The table is placed facing south. The two tung oil lamps will not be extinguished even in the cold wind. The three fragrant green smoke is wrapped around, and several plates of tributes are rice steamed buns. The grassroots method cannot be compared with that of rich people.
However, the Taoist priest didn't care much about these. The stars came to the altar with the moon and put away the bronze bells in their hands. The mahogany swords were placed on the altar, and the sleeves of the robe waved. The two oil lamps suddenly swayed. The believers surrounded her with a pious face. Some women put their hands together and were extremely fanatical.
The Taoist priest slowly closed his eyes and calmed down. Everyone also held their breath and did not dare to make a sound. Liu Liwei stood outside the crowd and aroused curiosity and stopped to watch the bustle.
For a long time, the Taoist priest opened his eyes, made a magic seal with his hands, and said loudly, "Good men and women, recently, the epidemic has been rampant, harming us. In the heart of compassion, the poor Tao burned incense and prayed last night and prayed sincerely in exchange for the dream of the nine-day plague god. He said that this epidemic is not a heavenly punishment, but a ghost. Last night, Lord Zhengshen Tuo Meng pointed out the poor way and said that today the Heavenly Master went to Yaochi for the peach party. Today, it happened to pass through this place at noon. If you are sincere and pray, please ask the Heavenly Master to stay and defeat the demons and eliminate demons. The epidemic will inevitably be solved.
Wow... Liu Liwa almost laughed out loud, and finally saw what was better than singing, as if listening to mythical storytelling. Does the heavenly master go to the peach event through here? Did he go there by car? Is this a stop? So is he taking the bullet train? Is the ticket a scalper ticket?
Of course, Liu Li Wa did not believe it, but people around him were devastated by the epidemic, and people who were in extreme panic were convinced of the Taoist priest's words. Because of the wide range of infectious diseases in front of him, it was difficult to control. There was no other explanation except for ghosts.
"Please ask the Taoist priest to do it, ask the heavenly master to bring down demons and eliminate demons, and I will wait for a blue sky." Suddenly, someone shouted in the crowd, and someone took the lead in kneeling down and shouted in unison, "Please invite the heavenly master."
Hundreds of people knelt down in black, and the scene was very spectacular. The Taoist priest looked at it with a solemn face, and a trace of dark joy flashed in his eyes. Therefore, he said, "God has the virtue of good life. For the poor Taoist people who go out, it is his responsibility to do good deeds and accumulate virtues. But Lord Luo Tianzhen is going to Yaochi to the peach party of the Queen Mother. If it is wrong. After an hour, I can't enjoy the peach elixir. If the Queen Mother blames it, who can bear it? Of course, the heavenly master is kind and compassionate, overcomes people's dangers, and is kind to others. Naturally, he will not care about you and other ordinary people, but we can't delay the positive results of the heavenly master's practice because of our own selfishness. You'd better show some sincerity..."
The Taoist priest said righteously and quietly turned a color to the crowd. Liu Liwai stood upright outside the crowd, and some of them stood out from the crowd, so he could see a little action clearly. At this time, no one cared about him. He only heard that there was a 'childcare in the crowd who had been ambushed for a long time. He shouted, "Please ask the heavenly master to come down to the earth and save us and the poor people from water and fire. Ghosts are a disaster. Our life and death are uncertain. The villain is willing to sincerely invite the heavenly master to defeat demons."
Before he finished speaking, a young man stood up in the crowd. In his twenties, even if he tried to put on a serious face, he still couldn't hide a trace of breath. He held a silver ticket in his hand and just got up, as if he didn't stand still. He deliberately took off his hand and the silver ticket landed. The people next to him were surprised to see the amount. .
The young man picked up the silver ticket in a panic and said, "The little man offers a thousand taels of silver. Please come down to earth."
With that, he held up the silver ticket high. More than a thousand taels of silver were in the right, which made people see clearly. Many people took a cold breath and were shocked. But thinking about this emergency moment, it is uncertain who will die. The epidemic is too terrible, and his life is not guaranteed. The silver is all outside the body. Things.
And swindlers take advantage of people's hearts to cheat and make money.
Some people took the lead in the crowd, and it was a huge amount of money of more than 1,000 taels. Others also began to be moved. Of course, the first to follow the trend were also a few nursery children. This thirty taels and that eighty taels are all lifelong savings for the poor people. This kung fu is old-fashioned. The more you give, the more sincere they are. It is not possible for angels to go down to the earth. As soon as I see your sincerity, in addition to catching ghosts and defeating demons, it can also bless you to get promoted and get rich!
Liu Liwei looked on coldly and felt like watching a comedy. In addition to catching ghosts, the heavenly master also blessed people to make a fortune. Then how busy the heavenly master is every day!
He was frank, but other people couldn't do it. They were all flustered. They only asked for 'sincerity' to buy a peace. Several children came forward with bowls in their hands. The kind men and women put all the money into the bowls. It seemed that they were all small money, but they couldn't stand it. There were many people. Here is No. 100. People, more or less, everyone has a share, and they earn a lot of money in a circle.
After receiving the money, the Taoist priest became more energetic, and the sky was beautiful. The dark clouds had been scattered in the sky, revealing the scorching sun above the sky. It happened that near noon, the good man and the woman knelt down to the ground. The Taoist priest held a mahogany sword and pointed to the sky. The four Taoist children put the bowl on the altar to show their sincerity, and the sun shone on. The bowl is full of silver light, which is full of silver light, which is extremely attractive.
The Taoist priest was full of spirit, and the silver light coated his face with a layer of silver. Seeing this thing, the immortals could not stand still. The Taoist priest took the spiritual rune wooden sword and immediately began to do it. He lit the spiritual charms in his hand. The sky was flying all over the sky, and the sparks scattered. He read words in his mouth. Liu Liwa's heart continued to be 'anxed. Suddenly, the Taoist priest pounced. He knelt down, looked at Tiansan and kowtowed, and his forehead slammed on the ground, selling his strength.
Everyone was moved by it. When the Taoist priest stood up, the Taoist boy had prepared a copper bowl and poured a lot of spirits under the eyes of the public. The Taoist priest took out a paper-piercing villain with hands and feet from his sleeve and put it on the edge of the big copper bowl, not far from the fire candle. He only heard the Taoist priest's devout: " Please invite the heavenly master to come!"
With his shout, everyone immediately looked up and saw a little fire in the two oil lamps. It was brilliant, and what was more unexpected was that the inch-high paper on the table moved by himself and slowly stretched out his arms, which seemed to be To pick up the copper bowl, the Taoist priest took a hairpin from his head and gently scratched it in the copper bowl. The full of wine in the bowl was magically divided into two from the middle. The middle was empty. Everyone stared their eyes wide and held their breath. They only heard the Taoist priest say in a loud voice, "Look, the heavenly master has gone down to earth. He has lit the divine fire and drink. Tribute wine, the evil that is rampant here must be there!"
