Chapter 39: Setting up a monument

County Office.

The county magistrate hurriedly came to the courtyard on the left, found Jia Gui who was handling official duties, and told him that the stone tablet had been engraved.

At the same time, the stele pavilion built by Magistrate Jia personally has been built, right at the foot of the sacred peak.

Since the dragon rushed out of the mountain, the roads in the mountain have also changed. It has become the main road in and out of Xihe County. People coming and going have to pass there, and they will naturally rest in the pavilion when they see it.

When you rest, you will naturally see the inscriptions on the stone tablet.

Jia Gui put down his brush and looked over: "Has it been changed?"

The county magistrate saluted: "It's been changed. I've seen it with my own eyes. It's word for word."

Compared with the original inscription on the stone tablet, the current inscription has been changed once. Because many things happened later, Jia Gui took this opportunity to add it.

Of course, this adds a lot of trouble to the people below, but this kind of trouble is certainly not within the scope of Jia Xianzun's consideration.

Jia Gui's expression immediately became energetic, and his mustache also twitched.

"Okay, okay!"

He said three good words in a row, and then urged the county magistrate.

"Get ready immediately. I will go there in person when the time comes."

On this day, with gongs and drums beating in the county, everyone ferociously transported a stone tablet tied with a red ribbon to the foot of the sacred peak, attracting many people to watch and even follow.

Taking advantage of the rain that had subsided a lot, everyone began to carry the stone tablet into the pavilion. The road was a bit muddy, so it was particularly difficult.

"Hey~"

"Hey~"

"Work harder!"

"Hold on!"

Finally, the monument was erected in the pavilion under the first mountain gate.

The people watching were illiterate, and some helped read the inscriptions on the stone tablets.

"Don't be anxious, everyone, I'll read it to you."

"There is a fairy who lives in the mountain of Yunbi. He does not eat the fireworks of the world. He rides the wind and clouds up and down. He is free beyond the three realms and travels in the four seas. He is called Yunzhongjun."

"Your appearance..."

"The virtue of a king is boundless. He benefits the people, moistens things silently, moves the clouds and provides rain, and seeks no fame."

"Riding the wind and controlling the heavens, I am free and carefree, all living beings look up to me, my kindness is as deep as the sea, I shed tears of gratitude..."

After talking for a long time, it was just like chanting sutras.

Fortunately, after the man finished speaking, he explained it carefully.

The inscription tells a total of three stories. The first is the story of Jia Gui, the magistrate of Xihe County, meeting Yun Zhongjun. It is told in great detail, and even the story of drinking wine from the sky is mentioned. And about the gods saying that it snowed deeply during the Shen Dynasty.

The story is written vividly and interestingly.

The second one is about the story of the walking dragon. This story is deeper and thicker, full of mythology, and the scenes and words are very grand. This story has also been personally experienced by many people present. When telling it, we should follow the instructions of those who tell it.

There were also many people, and each one talked about the scenes he saw.

The last one was added, which is the story of the drought demon and the rain, with some horror colors. This story focuses on describing the ferocity of the drought demon and the people's longing for the rain. In the end, the drought demon was subdued by the power of earth, fire and thunder, and the rain

It also dropped accordingly.

And the last thing about the sacrificial wine and the smell of alcohol in the rain has become the most interesting part of the whole story.

"That's right, the rain that night really smelled like wine!"

"That must be the Lord of the Clouds in the sky. As soon as he spilled the wine in the pot, it turned into rain and fell from the sky."

"Perhaps when Yun Zhongjun was sitting on the dragon and making rain, the dragon secretly took a sip and then sneezed, so the rain smelled of alcohol."

There are different opinions, and almost everyone present can say something about this matter.

This incident ended in a lively atmosphere with gongs and drums beating, but the impact of the stone tablet had just begun.

Because this story is not only engraved on the stone tablet, but also written in the county annals, and it is also written in people's hearts.

It has been passed down from generation to generation along with the people on this land.

Since then.

This Yunbi Mountain has also become a mountain of fairy spirits, a geomantic treasure land and a fairy cave.

When literati and poets came to this area, they would inevitably pass by this place and leave their own chapters, which would also add to the mythical color of this mountain and this place.

Everyone left without saying anything, but as they were walking, there was suddenly a dull roar.

"Boom!"

There was a shock underfoot, and everyone was startled.

Some people even felt that their feet were shaking, and they sat directly on the ground and exclaimed.

Everyone looked at each other, stunned for a moment, and then immediately looked around, and some looked towards the sky.

"Thunder?"

But the sound obviously did not come from the Shenyuan Forest on the mountain. It was different from the thunder summoned by the gods that everyone heard before, and the movement was much louder, but it did not sound like rain and thunder falling from the sky.

Only then, the drizzle fell from the sky on everyone, and everyone looked at each other and smiled.

"It's about to wake up, and spring thunder is coming!"

"There was thunder in the sky, and I felt an earthquake on the ground."

"I feel it too."

"It felt like it was ripped out from under my feet. It almost scared me out of my mind."

"How can there be thunder underground?"

Although everyone said so, no one really believed that the thunder struck out from under his feet.

But after going back, I asked others if they heard the loud thunder just now.

But they all said there was no thunder.

"What kind of thunder? Where did it come from?"

"It's just across a hill. You heard it, but I couldn't. How is this possible?"

"There hasn't been any thunder since it started raining. Don't come here and talk nonsense."

People walking back from the sacred peak were confused and doubted whether they really heard the thunder.

It seems that thunder only exists near the divine peak.

To be precise, it only exists underground.

——

The period of the Waking of Insects has passed for several days, and the drizzle has been falling, now and then.

Jia Gui has been busy with the resettlement of mountain people these past few days. After all, apart from the auspiciousness of the gods appearing, this matter can be regarded as his actual achievements as a county official.

Jia Gui: "Have the moved villages been settled?"

The accompanying staff said: "A group of people have been resettled in Shanghe Township. The ground fire burned half of the mountain the day before yesterday. There are still some people who happened to be resettled there. The county will also lend some farm tools to the mountain people."

"Recently, some merchants have come over to collect mountain products from mountain residents. They say that the mountain treasures grown in Yunbi Mountain's feng shui treasure land are very popular."

"After a year and a half, I will be completely settled."

Jia Gui: "Nothing happened?"

Staff: "Everything is pretty good."

Jia Gui: "Then it's done."

After finishing his business, Jia Gui, as a romantic literati, or at least he thought he was, naturally wanted to organize some activities in line with the literati.

Jia Gui: "Are the peach blossoms blooming at the foot of the mountain? If so, I can invite scholars from the county to go on a spring outing."

Staff: "It's not open yet."

Jia Gui: "Is it almost time?"

Staff member: “I don’t know why it’s later this year.”

Speaking of this, the staff also mentioned another thing.

"Not only are the peach blossoms not blooming at the foot of the mountain, but although it has been rainy recently, the spring thunder has not sounded, and there is no sound of insects on the mountain."

Jia Gui nodded and connected several things.

"The thunder of spring makes all things grow. When the time comes to wake up the hibernating insects, the sound of thunder wakes them up."

"The spring thunder has not sounded, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the season of all insects chirping seems to have not yet arrived."

"Fine, let's wait a little longer."

The subordinates nodded in agreement, and then continued to say what they really wanted to say.

"But, there is something strange."

Jia Gui: "What's weird?"

Staff member: "Someone heard thunder near Shenfeng."

Jia Gui: "Thunder, hasn't it been thundering recently? Why didn't I hear it?"

Staff: "It is rumored that the thunder came from the ground, and it is said that it can only be heard when standing on the ground outside Yunbi Mountain."

Jia Gui: "I only heard that thunder fell from the sky and thunder struck upside down from the ground. How can there be such a thing that turns everything upside down?"

Jia Gui laughed, thinking that one of the villagers must have heard it wrong.
