Chapter 49

It was nearly noon, and the white water river was already crowded.

Today is a big day to sacrifice the river god and the most sacred day in lotus town.

The boy and girl had changed into fresh clothes and were taken to the altar.

They looked curiously at the dark people around them. They were not afraid, only novel.

The people knelt together, and the squires led more than a dozen strong men to put the three animals on the altar.

Banners are flying and drum music is loud.

People are waiting for their old gods to offer sacrifices and pray for good weather for them.

All the people are praying piously, hoping to move the immortal, the river god and rain.

It was nearly noon, and he had not seen the honor guard of the "old fairy" around him. People guessed that the old fairy would not delay?

When everyone was in panic, making random guesses and talking, there was a commotion in the crowd.

I saw the old mayor, Tang Qi and the traceless who was regarded as a demon were "holding" the old immortal slowly.

The old immortal was still so immortal and walked steadily, although the long sword added the neck.

The people are tongue tied!

The old immortal was "escorted" into the sacrificial scene!

But when we saw the old fairy's calm and indifferent expression, we thought that the old fairy was still an old fairy.

However, the trace of panic in the eyes of the trail boy beside him clearly told everyone that the old fairy was in trouble.

In fact, we all know that the old fairy was in trouble and was put on his shoulder with a sword. Isn't that trouble?

Moreover, this man is still an evil spirit in the mouth of the old gods and in the eyes of the people?

"Let go of the old fairy!"

"Demon, do you want to offend the immortal?"

"If you don't let go of the old fairy, be careful that the old fairy will make you ashes!"

The crowd was angry. If the old mayor hadn't stood with traceless, I don't know how many stones and eggs had been hit.

The old Taoist priest was finally escorted to the altar. Tang Qi saw two "brothers and sisters" controlled by four strong men and almost rushed up.

The old mayor raised his hand and looked solemn.

It was also the first time that everyone saw the old mayor's face so solemn.

"People, lotus town has been suffering from severe drought year after year! This year, there is no harvest! Lotus town, which used to be beautiful and rich, is now a place where people can't make a living and complain! In order to bring down the rain and return to the good weather in Hehua Town, we all have the money and make great efforts together. We invited the 'old fairy' to settle in the lotus Taoist temple, which has been abandoned for many years, and spend a lot of money to reshape the golden body, so as to get rid of the drought and return the prosperity of Hehua town in the coming year! "

The old mayor's words made everyone silent, and all the squires looked at them.

"But everyone spends a lot. The old fairy invited back is a liar!"

As soon as words come out, there is no meaning in the flat ground, thunder, and a commotion in the crowd.

Everyone looked at each other with suspicion and fear in their eyes.

"Old mayor, you can't talk nonsense. If you annoy the immortal, lotus town will be doomed!"

The squire spoke in fear.

"I'm not talking nonsense! If it weren't for Tang Qi and this traceless young Xia, I would be in the dark! "

"The young man doesn't know where he came from. How can the old mayor believe him?"

The old mayor pressed his hands and said, "yes, at first, I really don't believe this boy or Tang Qi! But just last night, the 'old fairy' made me have to believe what they said! "

The crowd was in an uproar again, and one asked, "what's the matter with the old fairy?"

"He said to himself last night, where are the gods in the world! Excuse me, he is an old fairy, but he doesn't believe that there are gods in the world! Isn't it a big joke? "

The old mayor talked freely.

Everyone looked at the old Taoist with an incredible look in their eyes.

"Don't listen to their nonsense! They offended the gods and forcibly kidnapped this seat in order to destroy this sacrifice! The old mayor was blinded by this evil spirit and didn't distinguish right from wrong. I don't care about it! But now, noon is approaching. If you don't sacrifice in time, lotus town will be really over! "

Although the Taoist priest has a long sword, he still looks awe inspiring and fearless for the people all over the world.

Everyone looked at the old Taoist who was forced by the long sword and felt that his words were quite reasonable.

It was clear that the young man with the sword kidnapped the old fairy with the sword and wanted to force the old fairy to obey.

"Let him go!"

"Let go of the old fairy!"

There was a commotion among the unknown people and they shouted one after another.

The old mayor's words are certainly authoritative, but now the old Taoist is really held by a traceless sword.

How could the people believe that the old Taoist is a liar because of the words of the mayor?

If he is a liar, who will preside over the overall situation of sacrifice, and who can ask for good weather in lotus town?

So there was a commotion, shouting to let go of the old Taoist voice one after another.

A trace of pride flashed in the old Taoist's eyes. But he soon regained his solemnity, and his mouth was still full of words.

Traceless, Tang Qi and the old mayor were mute at the same time. They did not expect that the people would be so blinded.

"Take down the demons, sacrifice to the river god and pray for the river god's forgiveness!"

I don't know who shouted and the crowd responded.

Someone got up and forced near the altar.

"He is not a demon, he is a good man!"

Suddenly, a voice exploded in the shouts of the people.

Everyone stopped shouting and looked at the sound.

No trace also followed the sound and saw a man striding in the crowd.

Wuji saw the man and smiled softly.

This is the man who opened a black shop. He was exposed by himself and gave a ingot of silver as a gift.

Behind him was a group of people from the outskirts of Hehua Town, including 300 people.

The crowd was stunned. Of course everyone knew the man. He was a resident of lotus town.

"Good man? How could he be a good man? "

"If he is a good man, why should he threaten the old fairy?"

Everyone was suspicious.

The man came to traceless, turned around, shook his arms and said in a high voice, "young Xia, you are a good man and my benefactor! A few days ago, my family had no plan for oil and rice, so I moved my mind and opened a black shop on the roadside to plot property! But at the beginning, he was seen through by the benefactor! Eunuch not only didn't blame me, but gave me silver to make a decent living! How can a person who can help those who are right and wrong be a demon? "

The crowd was in an uproar again and looked at Xiang Wuji one after another.

At this time, Wuji has slowly retracted the long sword.

He knew that the old Taoist couldn't give in because he was added by the long sword, but would make the final sophistry.

And even though he didn't want to hear his sophistry, he couldn't kill him in front of all the people.

At this time, the old Taoist suddenly opened his eyes and said loudly, "forgive me, the immortal. It's not because the disciples are not pious. It's really because of demons. The disciples have no choice!"

The words of the old Taoist startled the people to kneel down one after another.

The pure light in traceless eyes flashed. Suddenly, he smiled softly.

"Well, aren't you an old fairy? Can't you see the immortal? In order to have a good weather in lotus town, please ask the old fairy to go there in person and make it clear with the immortal and ask for rain for lotus town. How about it? "

Hearing the words without trace, everyone was stunned.

"Yes, you are an old fairy. The old fairy has great powers. Surely you can see the immortal in person! For the sake of lotus town, I have worked hard for the old immortal! "

Tang Qi also twinkled in his eyes. He soon understood the meaning of traceless.

Don't you want to play tricks? Well, I'll give you a chance to be an immortal!

When the old Taoist saw the smile in Tang Qi's eyes, he immediately felt creepy!

"Let's invite the old immortal to ascend the altar to cast magic, go to see the river god in person, and pray for peace in lotus town!"

Traceless sound track.

The people kowtow one after another. Of course, they believe that it is a matter of little effort for the old fairy to see the river god.

There was a flash of panic in the Taoist's eyes. If these foolish people really believe that they are old gods, they should be thrown into the river to feed Wang ba.

He didn't expect things to reverse so quickly.

Tang Qi and others have looked at the old Taoist one after another. It seems that they will throw the old Taoist into the river and send him to see the river god at any time.

The old Taoist felt his back cold. He worked hard for so long, but he didn't want to sacrifice himself.

In a panic, he ran away and said, "if you are disrespectful to the immortal, there will be retribution!"

When all the people saw that he was in panic and wanted to take the road and run away, they were stunned.

Traceless and others did not stop him. Looking at him in the consternation of the people, he wanted to escape, "ha ha" laughed.

The old mayor shook his head and sighed for the sake of lotus town and these blinded people.

"The old fairy is gone. What about the sacrifice?"

A squire was still concerned about the sacrifice and came to ask the old mayor.

The old mayor shook his head and said, "the old Taoist is clearly a liar. What is the saying of offering sacrifices to the river god and praying to the immortal is simply a mystery! In this way, what is the difference between offering sacrifices and not offering sacrifices? "

When they saw the "old fairy" in their mind running away, some people were frightened, and others gradually woke up and understood.

"If he is really an old fairy, how can he run?"

"How could the old fairy be afraid to see the river god?"

Amid the discussion of the crowd, someone stopped the old Taoist and caught him.

The angry people threw their "old immortal" into the Baishui River and asked him to see the river god in person.

The sacrifice to the river god in Hehua town ended in a farce. This is what the people of Hehua town didn't expect.

Tang Qi finally rescued his brothers and sisters, and the property gathered by the people in the lotus Taoist temple for sacrifice was also found.

A few days later, lotus town was still lotus town, and the weather was still so muggy.

Tang Qi and others walked the street without anyone noticing.

Although they drove away the old liar, the drought in Hehua town remained the same.

No trace sat in the restaurant, looking at the clouds gradually gathering in the sky and meditating.

"You said you were going to Guiyang?"

Tang Qi looked traceless and his eyes were full of longing.

Traceless nodded gently and drank a bowl of wine slowly.

Tang Qi also drank a bowl. He also liked wine, especially today.

"I also want to go. I heard that it is a man's paradise!"

Tang Qi's eyes twinkled and looked traceless.

No trace stunned.

"Can you let your sister go?"

"The old mayor has decided to build an orphanage in the town. All orphans will live there. I think they will live well in the future if they have me Tang Qi."

Tang Qi suddenly smiled and was very happy. This is the happiest smile Tang Qi has ever seen.

When Tang Qi hugged and cried bitterly with monkey three and the orphans in the street, he felt the moisture in the corners of his eyes.

"Don't worry, I will come back to see you. Lotus town is no longer the former lotus town. I believe you will live much better than before."

Tang Qi left tears in his eyes, both reluctant and happy.

On the day when Wuji and Tang Qi left Hehua Town, dark clouds covered and lightning thundered.
