After burning incense and bathing, worshiping heaven and earth, Mr. Chen went out of the city early in the morning.
Not only him, but other gentry in the city also left the city.
Everyone went to the garden where Taoist Du Xie was.
The journey went smoothly, except that after entering the garden, I only saw the shrine from yesterday, but not Taoist Du Xie himself.
This made the gentry a little puzzled, and they looked around, but there was no trace of him.
Mr. Chen felt a little uneasy and began to communicate with others.
Seeing that Master Du Xie could not be found, everyone gathered together and decided to do as he said yesterday and sit around the shrine to see what would happen and whether the disaster could be avoided.
There was no other way at this time, so this was undoubtedly the best choice. Everyone gathered around the shrine and sat down.
Those who knew how to memorize Taoist scriptures would memorize them; those who couldn't, would take out their books and recite them.
For a moment, there was the sound of chanting in the middle of the garden. I don’t know, I thought it was some kind of ritual ceremony!
In this way, everyone sat until almost noon, but Taoist Du Xie did not appear.
Many people have drums in their hearts, fearing that this person will give up on them.
Just when someone was about to speak, they suddenly saw wind and clouds surging in the sky, black clouds were pressing down, and there was a rumbling sound.
In just a short moment, clouds were gathering above the garden and there was a sound of thunder.
When all the gentry heard this and saw this scene, their faces turned pale and they were frightened.
There were a few people who had done a lot of bad things, and their faces turned pale and they were trembling when they saw this scene.
Mr. Chen was also frightened and hurriedly recited scriptures.
Seeing this, others hurriedly continued to recite scriptures loudly.
Not to mention, this method seems to be really effective. Although there are bursts of thunder and bright lightning in the sky, they just don't fall down, as if they are worrying about something.
Seeing this, all the gentry started chanting desperately.
The thunder lingered in the sky and never fell.
This made all the gentry excited and felt that they had found the right method.
But after chanting loudly for a long time, everyone almost hurt their throats and some couldn't shout.
Soon, they discovered that it seemed that they would not be struck by thunder even if they did not recite scriptures.
Some people couldn't hold on and stopped reciting the scriptures.
The thunder did not fall as expected.
When others saw this, they were also delighted and tried to stop chanting.
Finding that nothing happened really increased my confidence, thinking that getting through this disaster would not be a problem.
At first, everyone was a little worried that the thunder would fall.
But after a while, they all relaxed a little.
It seems that this thunder cannot fall.
After a while, someone started chatting with others.
The atmosphere among everyone began to become relaxed, and everyone thought there would be no more problems.
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone shouting outside the garden:
"It's not good, rivers and lakes burst their banks, floods are coming soon!"
When all the gentry heard this, they were so frightened that they no longer cared about sitting in the garden, but got up and ran for their lives.
A group of people just ran out the door when they suddenly heard the sound of thunder exploding behind them, and thunder and lightning fell from the sky.
Some people thought that this was coming for them and others, thinking that they would die, and squatted on the ground in fear with their heads in their hands.
Mr. Chen had limited legs and feet, so he ran back. When he heard the noise, he subconsciously looked back.
However, he discovered that the thunderbolt was not directed at him and the others, but directly hit the shrine they were surrounding.
After a "boom", the shrine was shattered into pieces.
Under the shrine, there was a scorpion as big as a basin and completely black.
What's strange is that the scorpion doesn't have a stinger on its tail, which makes it look quite weird.
After the thunder shattered the shrine, it hit the poisonous scorpion.
The poisonous scorpion suddenly grew in size and instantly occupied the entire open space in the garden, becoming as big as a small mountain.
Everyone was horrified when they saw this.
Thunder from the sky fell mercilessly, directly hitting the giant poisonous scorpion.
The poisonous scorpion still wanted to fight, but after just one blow, black smoke came out of his body and he let out a shrill scream.
With another blow, the poisonous scorpion's carapace was shattered and its life was in danger.
The thunder from the sky was ruthless. Another thunder struck, and the huge poisonous scorpion was smashed into ashes in front of everyone's eyes.
All the gentry were stunned to the spot.
After the sky thunder killed the poisonous scorpion, it stopped falling. The thunder in the sky stopped, the black clouds dissipated, and the clear sky was revealed again.
Seeing this, all the gentry felt as if they were waking up from a dream.
Mr. Wang murmured:
"Looking at it like this, it seems that Tianlei's target from the beginning was not me..."
Mr. Chen also nodded and said:
"It seems that we have all been taken advantage of by that person."
Of all the people present, you can say they are bad, but you cannot say they are stupid.
No one was stupid here. Seeing the poisonous scorpion and thinking about what happened to him and others today, how could he not understand that this was being used by the monster.
"By the way, didn't someone just say that rivers and lakes burst their banks?
Why hasn't the flood come for so long? "
Someone asked doubtfully.
At this time, I suddenly saw a young man who looked like a god coming riding a white horse.
The young man laughed and said: "The words about breaking the embankment were just a joke. I just saw that you guys almost allowed the monster to escape the divine punishment, so I stopped it."
"God's punishment? The monster's punishment?"
"Yes, it is a divine punishment."
When all the gentry heard this, they looked at each other in confusion. Master Chen stepped forward and asked:
"I dare to ask, Master, if the monster uses us to avoid divine punishment, what will happen to us?"
The young man smiled and said: "The monster knows that he has killed countless people, has committed serious crimes, and will be punished by God.
Then he distributes his own breath and body fluids into everyone's bodies, and uses the noble aura, official aura, etc. in everyone to confuse the heavens.
When such a divine punishment comes, if one cannot distinguish between the human spirit and the evil spirit, then one cannot fall behind. "
"I see......"
Everyone was relieved, the reason was actually here.
At this time, someone suddenly realized that what he drank yesterday was not some magical water, but a monster bodily fluid. He suddenly felt evil and started to retching.
Affected by this, the people around him squatted on the ground and retched.
After retching for a while, Mr. Chen asked again:
"Master, to be honest, I have done a lot...
Why doesn't God's punishment strike us? "
"That's naturally because humans are the primates of all things and are favored by heaven and earth. No matter how many evil things they do, they will not be punished by heaven."
Hearing what the young man said, the people who were retching immediately stopped and asked with surprise on their faces:
"Do you really mean what the master said?"
"nature."
When all the gentry heard this, they were all happy!
Great, people who do evil things will not be punished by God!
Seeing how excited they were, the young man also smiled, turned around and left, saying just "It's over here, take my leave."
After that, he disappeared on the path.
Seeing him leaving, all the gentlemen looked at each other and smiled, and they all saw the excitement in the eyes of others...
The boy with the white horse was naturally Ye Ming. Not far from the garden, he met up with Mr. Wu again.
Mr. Wu had a clear view of what had just happened. When he saw Ye Ming coming back, he quickly said:
"Young Master Shanyuan, you are confused. How can you tell these people about things that are not punished by God?"
As a Ganzhou native, Mr. Wu knows very well how vicious these gentry’s minds are. If they had not cared about retribution and their evil deeds after death, their behavior would definitely be ten times worse than what they are now.
Now that Ye Ming has told them that people will not be punished by heaven, what will they do in the future? Mr. Wu simply cannot think of it.
Seeing Mr. Wu's anxious look, Ye Ming smiled and said:
"It is true that God does not punish people, but I did not say that man-made disasters cannot make them pay the price.
Moreover, the records of Yinsi's merits and deeds are accurate to the last detail. Everything they do today will have to pay a price in the future. "
After hearing what Ye Ming said, Mr. Wu was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly and said:
"I see."
Ye Ming smiled and said: "If God wants to make him die, he must first make him crazy. Everything has a price."
After saying this, Ye Ming looked in the direction of the garden again and said with a smile:
"Those big gentlemen have all left here. Come on, let's go back."
Seeing this person say this, Mr. Wu knew that someone else was going to be unlucky.
Shortly in the afternoon, a group of small figures flew from the horizon in the distance, it was King Xiao Yan and others.
As soon as a group of children arrived at the garden, they saw "Taoist Du Xie" standing there waiting for them.
When King Xiao Yan saw this, he immediately stepped forward and asked this person to come with him.
As soon as he arrived, he was grabbed by "Taoist Du Xie", pressed directly on the stone table, and spanked with a cane.
As soon as this familiar feeling came, King Xiao Yan immediately knew who this person was and shouted:
"You are not the scorpion, you are the evil man!"
The "Taoist Du Xie" who was beating him smiled at the sound and changed back to Ye Ming's appearance.
"This is the fourth time you've been caught by me. Are you convinced?"
"If you don't accept it, what are your skills if you keep playing dirty tricks?
Say, where did the scorpion go? "
"He's everywhere."
Ye Ming pointed at the garden and said.
"Everywhere? What do you mean?"
"If you sweep all the ashes here together, maybe you can put him back together again."
"He was beaten to death by you?"
"He was not beaten to death by me, but by God."
Seeing that the helper was gone, King Xiaoyan snorted and stopped talking, his face still looking unconvinced.
Ye Ming smiled again and said: "Since you are not convinced, how about I let you go and allow you to find helpers to deal with me?"
"Okay, just wait, I'm going to find more powerful helpers this time and beat you to pieces!"
After being beaten severely, King Xiaoyan held his buttocks and held back tears, and did not forget to say harsh words before leaving.
Seeing them leaving, Mr. Wu walked to Ye Ming and said:
"I see that the ape spirit didn't show up this time. He must have seen that you won't really kill these demon boys. Will it really help if you continue to do this?"
Ye Ming smiled and said: "It is precisely because of his presence that I can ensure that those little guys will continue to come to me for trouble, otherwise I am afraid that they will give up halfway!"
When Mr. Wu heard this, he looked at him in surprise:
"Master Shanyuan, have you reached some kind of tacit understanding with that ape spirit?"
"Sir, I think you have a better future as a detective than writing a book."
"Master Shanyuan is making fun of me again. This is just a fact before our eyes. I am just making reasonable speculations."
"Part of sir's guess is quite accurate."
Ye Ming said with a smile.
When Mr. Wu heard this, he fell into thinking.
Is it only partly accurate?
Ye Ming stopped discussing this topic and just said that he could continue the trip.
Afterwards, the group left Liuwan Mansion on horseback.
And the night after they left, the Wu army east of Ganzhou began to move out...
...
On the other side, after Yunzi refused to pay for the detoxification, he found a secluded place and sat cross-legged. Electricity overflowed from his body and activated around the poisoned area on his chest.
Obviously, he planned to use thunder method to forcibly detoxify.
It's just that this scorpion poison is not ordinary. It is the opponent's ultimate tail-cutting attack. The poison is concentrated in the whole body. Under the pressure of his magic power, it keeps drilling into his body, seeming to be integrated into his flesh and blood.
Fortunately, Cong Yunzi had deep magic power and was able to forcibly prevent the poison from infiltrating.
But even with the thunder method he practiced, he couldn't get rid of the poison for a while.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Cong Yunzi continued to mobilize his magic power and move.
Unexpectedly, this scorpion poison actually affects the soul.
By the time he noticed it, he already felt a little shaken.
Just when he was about to calm down and resist, he unconsciously thought of Ye Ming's face.
This annoying person is quite capable, and he can usually be ignored by his own Qi-nurturing skills.
But at this moment, his mind was wavering, and when he recalled this person again, he suddenly felt unsteady.
The mana that was running was also somewhat inconsistent because of this.
With a "pop" sound, the magic power was out of control and the electric light scattered from Yunzi's body in all directions. I also spurted out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground, and fainted...
...
