Chapter 23: Beginning of Spring

Wangshu is like the moonlight, or a goddess driving a chariot.

One moment she appears on the screen, the next she wanders to the bottom of a mountain valley, or she wanders in the mulberry trees beside the village.

She walked lightly, walking in a world invisible to others, and then brought the news to Jiang Chao when she came back.

Wangshu rode the car slowly through the clouds and mist from the depths of the big screen, and stopped at the center of the screen. She turned her head and looked at Jiang Chao outside the screen, with neon clothes dancing in the wind.

She told Jiang Chao: "Congratulations, you have become Yunzhongjun."

Jiang Chao never thought that one day he would be related to a god like Yun Zhongjun, or even be directly regarded as Yun Zhongjun.

He is neither divine nor has any special supernatural abilities. All the abnormalities he displays are just the external manifestations of some things given to him by the technological era.

Jiang Chao just said: "It saves trouble."

It really saves a lot of trouble, and you don't even have to make up a new identity for yourself.

Wang Shu added: "They are going to build a temple for you soon. Aren't you excited?"

Jiang Chao: "What are you excited about?"

Wangshu: "That's your new house."

Jiang Chao: "That's the house where the clay statue lives, not the house where I live."

Jiang Chao did not continue this topic, but asked Wang Shu.

Jiang Chao: "Is your plan complete?"

Wang Shu: "It has started, but it has not officially started yet. After all, there are too many broken things."

At this time, Wang Shu pointed to something on the movable stand and said with a smile.

"But I made this for you by the way."

Jiang Chao looked down and recognized what it was at a glance.

"gun?"

Wang Shu also began to understand this era, and even became familiar with it.

"You can call me Palm Thunder."

"Here, there's also Raimaru!"

Jiang Chao was still thinking about what thunder pills were at first, but he immediately realized that thunder pills were bullets.

He held the gun in his hand, it was heavy and a little cold.

Put your finger on the trigger and imagine the movement and sound emitted by this object. For people at this time, it can indeed be called thunder from the palm of your hand.

Jiang Chao: "We won't need this for the time being."

Wang Shu: "You can protect yourself in times of crisis."

Jiang Chao did not refuse, and Wang Shu was very happy to see it.

Jiang Chao put it away and walked outside. His physical condition has improved a lot recently and he has become much more active.

"Go and take a look at what's going on outside."

Today is the beginning of spring.

Jia Gui decided to start building the temple in front of the jade wall starting today, and the ceremony to invite the gods and welcome the gods was performed by Yunzhen Taoism. Many people came from inside and outside Xihe County.

Knocking, banging, banging, it’s so lively.

——

The original road was no longer there, but as more people went up and down, a new road was created from the bamboo forest to the foot of the mountain.

The originally wilderness suburbs can now be said to be crowded with people. Almost all the prominent people in Xihe County are here, and the villagers from He Township on Yunbi Mountain have gathered at the foot of the mountain.

In addition, there are traders, footmen, monks, Taoists, masons, performers, musicians and other people gathered here. Women and girls wore scarves cut into the shape of swallows to move things, while men helped to clear the way.

"It's coming, it's coming, have you seen it?"

"I saw it, there's still a tent hanging."

"There is a Taoist priest, have you seen it?"

"I heard that it's a Taoist priest from Ziyun who came to our place to do something."

Gongs and drums were beating at the foot of the mountain, and a group of people carried a sacred chariot with a curtain and walked little by little toward the bamboo forest halfway up the mountain. Everyone they passed kowtowed first, and then followed closely behind.

.

This is the custom at the beginning of spring in the Chu region. However, in the past, the god of spring was sent to him, but now there is a different one.

Sitting on the chariot are gods who can also bring good weather and have even been proven to be able to control wind and rain.

Yunzhongjun.

The spring god of the past was immediately forgotten by everyone, and a new god replaced the old god.

This is also the reason why Jia Gui, the new magistrate of Xihe County, chose this day to combine the Beginning of Spring Festival, the ceremony to welcome the gods and the groundbreaking of the temple.

The first is to take advantage of the beginning of spring to organize a lot of things, and the second is to let all the people get involved more quickly and know about this matter.

Third, of course, I want "Yun Zhongjun" to be able to see such a scene and see his "efforts".

Jia Gui and a group of people waited respectfully in front of the bamboo forest. The bamboo forest behind him didn't know when a stone road was paved, leading directly to the flat ground at the foot of the mountain behind.

Then a Taoist standing next to him shouted: "Welcome God!"

From behind, voices sounded one after another.

"Welcome to God...Welcome to God..."

Shouts came one after another from the mountain road to the bamboo forest.

Finally, it spread all the way to the depths of Yunbi Mountain.

After Jia Gui recited the sacrificial inscriptions and bowed, a group of actors and musicians played the music to welcome the gods again, and everyone finally moved out of the way.

Taoist Yin Yang walked at the front, passing by everyone carrying the sacred chariot, and set foot on the stone road into the bamboo forest.

At this moment.

Both Yin Yang Taoist and Taoist Ao and He were extremely nervous at this moment.

Because further ahead is the foothills, where the cloud wall is located.

Previously, Taoists Ao and He witnessed Yun Zhongjun disappearing in front of the cloud wall with the clouds and mist. In their eyes, the jade was the entrance to the Immortal Cave and the door to the Yin and Yang worlds.

And coming there is equivalent to coming into the presence of the gods.

At the last moment before entering the bamboo forest, Taoist Yin Yang was still telling Ao and He.

Taoist Yin Yang looked solemn: "We must be cautious and make no mistakes. Raise your head three feet above, the gods are watching us."

Taoist Jin Ao looked around: "I seem to feel something looking at me."

Taoist Danhe also nodded: "I feel the same way."

The three Taoists understood something instantly and did not even dare to say anything. They just recited sutras and mantras and walked inside.

But the sacred chariot had just stepped into the bamboo forest and had not taken a few steps. At this time, there was a noise outside, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Jia Gui, the magistrate of Xihe County who was respectfully greeting the gods, was a little annoyed. He immediately looked down the mountain and saw a mighty team arriving at the foot of the mountain.

The clothes and attire of those people were completely different from those of the villagers in Shanghe Township. At a glance, it was obvious that they were mountain people living in the deepest part of Yunbi Mountain, but I didn't know why they came here at this moment.

When the county magistrate Jia Gui saw these mountain people, he was at a loss.

"What's going on?"

"What happened?"

He quickly sent someone to ask, but the person hurried down and came back panting.

"They are mountain people from the mountains, but they also came here to welcome the gods, and the one they carried..."

The man panted for a long time before he recovered, which made Jia Gui a little anxious.

He quickly asked: "What is being carried?"

The man looked horrified and awe-struck: "It's a witch."

Jia Gui is not a local, but the locals know what the witch is and what it represents. Even mentioning the name feels scary.

God is so high up in the sky that mortals have never seen it before, and perhaps they don’t have much feeling about it.

But witches have taken root here for thousands of years, and their status and many things have already been deeply ingrained in the bodies and even blood of the people who live here.

Jia Gui looked confused: "What, what kind of witch?"

The man added: "He is said to be Yun Zhongjun's shaman!"

Jia Gui then looked down, and he also saw a sacred chariot among the mighty mountain people.

However, what Yun Zhendao carried here was just a straw-made statue of a god covered in colorful clothes.

What is being carried on the other side is a living person.

The so-called witch.

The sacred chariot carried by the mountain people was also covered with a curtain. A masked figure inside raised his head and looked towards the mountain.
