Chapter 321: White Rice and Flour, Judgment by Heavenly Law
The water flowed around him like a jade dragon, lifting him out of the Wujiang River and standing on the water.
Gong Mengbi looked at Jinhua City from afar. At this time, Jinhua City was in chaos.
The City God and the Wujiang River God were fighting, and the entire sky of Jinhua City was illuminated by lightning.
The two sides were fighting with real fire and had no time to hide their bodies. Even though the people of Jinhua were frightened by the thunder and lightning and dared not go out, there were still some brave people who looked up at the sky in earnest for rain, and saw the eerie scales and cold swords, and the endless battle between the sailors and the ghost soldiers.
Among them, the Dragon God and the Jinhua City God were fighting in the air, driving lightning and dark clouds. From time to time, thunder struck the ground, splashing endless sparks.
The weather was dry and there was little rain. A few thunderbolts struck, which immediately set fire to Jinhua City.
When Gong Mengbi looked at this moment, he saw flames rising into the sky and endless crying and shouting.
Two gods in the sky were fighting, and Zhurong on the earth was angry. Only the people caught in the middle suffered. They dared not offend the power of the gods, and could not put out the raging fire. They could only hide aside and cry and wail.
Gong Mengbi's heart skipped a beat and his eyes darkened.
Tangxi County.
A grand sacrifice is being held in front of the Tangxi Dragon God Temple.
The people of Tangxi believed in the Dragon God, which was the achievement of Chen Xi before. So many people from Tangxi came to participate in the sacrifice to Qiantang Jun and the worship of Wujiang River God.
Performing sacrifices privately is a serious crime.
But Gong Mengbi once had an agreement with the City God of Tangxi to look after Chenxi.
Now that Chen Xi was attacked by the water god of Wujiang River, his "care" was naturally of no use at all. At this time, he appeared in the dream of the magistrate of Tangxi County, asking him to stand by and watch.
The Tangxi County Magistrate was even more so. When Tangxi was hit by a flood, it was the Shen family who traveled thousands of miles to provide disaster relief. Although the county magistrate was a replacement, all the county officials were grateful for his kindness.
Firstly, it was the power of the Dragon God, secondly, it was the kindness of the Shen family, and thirdly, it was facilitated by the City God.
The sacrifice to Qiantang Jun was successfully carried out.
For this sacrifice, a drama troupe was invited to write a play, which performed the story of the Tangxi Water God exorcising demons and controlling floods, the Wujiang Water God killing virtuous gods, and the Wujiang Water God collecting incense and offerings while ignoring the people's livelihood.
This story did not have an ending. Instead, everyone complained to Qiantang Jun and asked him to uphold justice.
The play has reached its last act, and the people in the audience have become one with the performers. The old woman from the Dragon God Temple in Tangxi is both a character in the play and the person presiding over the sacrifice.
She kowtowed every three steps, then fell before the statue of Qiantang Jun, accusing him of murdering the Dragon God of Tangxi. He forced us to worship him and offer incense and offerings. He punishes us if we disobey, but refuses to send rain to comfort the people, causing the drought to linger.
"Mr. Qiantang is upright and resolute. Please seek justice from Mr. Qiantang!"
Rice, steamed buns, and pancakes were placed on the altar. The people watching the show were obviously hungry, but they still offered food from their homes.
The people followed suit and bowed, "Please, Lord Qiantang, grant us justice!"
The voice is so sad that it makes those who hear it sad and those who see it cry.
Fu Xin, who was hiding in the dark, suddenly changed his expression and whispered a few words to Chen Xi.
Chen Xi's face trembled, and he let out a dragon's roar. He flew down onto the altar, threw himself in front of it, and shouted, "Lord Qiantang, the water god of Wujiang is leading the sailors to attack Jinhua City. This may cause great disaster. Please, Lord Dragon, seek justice!"
When the people who were offering sacrifices saw a flying dragon descending from the sky and transforming into a young man with two horns on his head, they were immediately thrown into confusion.
The old woman looked at Chen Xi with tears in her eyes and bowed, "Is the Dragon God alright?"
Chen Xi looked at the old woman, feeling deeply moved, and said, "It's hard for you."
The old woman could not hide her excitement and was about to speak, but the sky in Tangxi suddenly became dark.
A cool breeze came from nowhere, and in a moment, a light drizzle began to fall.
Amidst the smoke of incense and the rain and fog, a tall god appeared on the altar. He looked at the rice, flour, steamed buns and pancakes on the altar and remained silent for a long time.
The common people didn't recognize this man, but Chen Xi did. He immediately bowed and said, "Greetings to Lord Qiantang!"
The common people who were offering sacrifices looked at Qiantang Jun and followed his lead, saying, "Greetings to Qiantang Jun."
Seeing Qiantang Jun staring at the offerings, the old woman feared she had blasphemed the deity, so she apologized, "Please forgive me, Qiantang Jun. We, the people of Tangxi, have long suffered for the Wujiang River God. We have long since lost all our wealth, and only this little food is left to offer."
Qiantang Jun picked up a steamed bun and said, "What crime have I committed? This white rice and white flour are worth more than a thousand gold coins."
He glanced at Chen Xi, nodded, and said, "You little snake did a good job. Although you are not a true god, you are much better than a true god."
Chen Xi lowered his head and said, "I just did what I should do."
Qiantang Jun nodded and said, "It's what should be done. Good."
He glanced towards Jinhua City, anger forming on his face. His eyebrows raised, and his eyes flashed with lightning: "Evil creature!"
When Qiantang Jun jumped up, there seemed to be a dragon's roar following him, but in just a moment, it was gone.
Wherever Qiantang Jun passes, wind and rain follow.
Chen Xi looked in the direction of Qiantang Jun, transformed into the true form of the red-feathered snake, and chased after him.
The people standing in the rain were cheering.
"It's raining! It's raining!"
The Wujiang Water God and the Jinhua City God fought with real anger. Originally, they only planned to hold back the Jinhua City God and let Shuiyue curse the prefect, but when the fight started, they immediately threw all these behind their minds, turned into green dragons, flew into the clouds, and drove the thunder to burst out wantonly.
When Jinhua City caught fire, the Wujiang River God laughed heartily: "Admit defeat now! Once I capture Zhang Wenyu, I will send rain to put out the fire!"
The Jinhua City God, who held the advantage of defending the city, would never let him pass. He simply cursed, "Don't even think about it!"
"Then don't blame me for flooding Jinhua City!" The Wujiang River God roared, grabbed towards the Wujiang River, and said, "Water!"
Gong Mengbi stood on the water, and the Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron in his hand trembled violently. The water map of the Wu River inside it kept shaking, as if it was about to fly out of the cauldron and drive the water of the Wu River to attack the city.
Gong Mengbi felt as if a huge beast was trapped in a small iron cage. The Dragon Suppressing Cauldron was about to slip out of his hand, but he locked it firmly in the cauldron.
