Chapter 345: She Bullied Me, the Musician Invited Me
From north to south, locusts destroyed crops and ravaged forests, like gray clouds, dyeing wherever they landed gray.
The locust god and the locust plague merged into one. Endless clouds continued to move southward, but suddenly encountered a dark cloud line.
The locust god sensed the strange phenomenon in the clouds, and countless locusts gathered together and took shape, transforming into a giant god with a locust head and a human body.
The god stood in the air, stepping on the gray clouds. The sounds of flapping wings, gnawing teeth, rubbing wings and bulging belly turned into a torrent, which made people shudder when they heard it.
The god looked at the low-hanging cloud line that stretched for thousands of miles. The cloud line seemed to divide the sky, separating the place where the locust god was and the place where the cloud line was into two parts.
The Locust God walked towards the cloud line with an expressionless face.
But suddenly, from among the clouds, there was a continuous sound of sheep bleating.
The bleating of the sheep soon turned into a roar of thunder, and a group of ferocious beasts with two horns on their heads roared in the clouds, pulling a chariot to the front of the Cloud Locust God.
Inside the chariot, a dragon girl with jade horns on her head stood up, bowed, and said, "Locust God, please stop!"
The Locust God looked at the dragon girl and let out a sharp scream, pushing the clouds in front of him back continuously.
The rain worker protected the dragon girl inside to prevent her from being disturbed.
The Locust God saw the Dragon Girl puffing up her face and said, "Brother, the Locust God is bullying me!"
The Locust God seemed confused and didn't understand what she was saying.
But the next moment the Locust God understood.
A huge dragon head emerged from the clouds and looked at the Locust God indifferently. This was Han Zhang.
The locust god gave a sarcastic smile.
But the next moment, one huge dragon after another appeared, thunder and lightning flashed behind the clouds, and the clouds that were blown back by the locust god surged up like waves.
The four huge dragon heads of Funiu Mountain Dragon God, Hanyang Mountain Dragon God, Oujiang River Water God, and Minjiang River Water God stared at the Locust God without blinking.
The Locust God confronted the six Dragon Gods, and no one spoke.
The body composed of billions of locusts kept squirming and changing, and finally the locust head turned into the face of a stern-looking woman with a golden headdress and golden hairpins in her hair. Her yellow and green robe was dotted with countless black or red gems, as if they were sparkling eyes.
The Minjiang River God slowly said, "Locust God, please stop."
The Locust God looked at the Dragon Gods one by one and said slowly, "I can give you a favor, but please don't meddle in other people's business."
The Minjiang River God slowly bowed his head and said, "Farewell, Locust God."
The stern-faced woman slowly turned around. As she turned around, her gorgeous robe and thick hair began to disintegrate. When she finished turning around, only half of her body and half of her face were left, and endless locusts flew out from the cracks in her body.
She just took a step forward, and her face disappeared. She turned into locusts and flew south along the cloud line.
We went all the way south, ate all over Xin'an County, and then turned east, which took only five days.
On this day, locusts blanketed the sky, swirling eastwards. Dark clouds drifted eastward, and then there were the sounds of gongs and drums, and the blast of firecrackers. Incense rose into the sky, blocking the locusts' path.
The locusts naturally had no reaction, but in the locust plague, a goddess with a golden hairpin on her head and wearing a yellow-green robe slowly walked out and came to the place where the smoke rose and the gongs and drums resounded.
The locusts fell to the ground and continued to eat the surrounding forests and plants, while the goddess fell down following the incense.
When we got to the ground, we saw a huge straw statue standing in the open space. The statue had a locust head and a human body, and it was majestic and awe-inspiring.
Countless people came from afar, and offerings were placed around the statue, surrounding it.
Three huge incense burners were burning around the statue, with countless incense sticks in them, and billowing fragrant clouds rising into the sky.
The people offered incense devoutly, made wishes, and prayed to the locust god to show mercy and give them a way out.
The locust god stood on the straw statue and sniffed hard, sucking the incense into her stomach like two little dragons. Her stern expression softened for a moment.
She looked at the people who were offering sacrifices devoutly with an expression of pity.
The people are ignorant, and if you grant them everything they ask for, it won't show your ability. It is precisely when they suffer that they will have respect and fear in their hearts...even terror.
If the Locust God left at this point, the people would only feel lucky, but would not remember the Locust God's reputation.
Only when the locust god passes through and eats up all the crops can they never forget the locust god and fear him for the rest of their lives.
The gods can bestow grace, but the locust god, or the disaster god, can only bring disaster!
The Locust God stood on the statue, her heart wavering for a moment, but the next moment, she had to go back to the locust plague and command the locust plague to continue moving eastward and eastward!
At this moment, a clear sound of music was heard, and a group of strong little ghosts and groups of ghosts carried a luxurious sedan chair and walked towards the Locust God.
In front of the sedan chair, there was a red-dressed immortal with a beautiful appearance and a radiance that seemed to steal the sky, sitting on the cloud platform and playing the zither to greet him.
Upon seeing the Locust God, the red-robed immortal stood up, walked up to her, bowed, and said, "Locust God, I, the Lord of Dongyang County, invite you."
The Locust God looked at Gong Mengbi's face, seeming to be impressed but also puzzled, and asked, "Dongyang County?"
The red-robed immortal seemed to understand her confusion and slowly explained, "This place is Yongchang Township, located in Lanxi County, which is under the jurisdiction of Dongyang Commandery."
A hint of understanding flashed across the Locust God's stern face. "This is Dongyang County... but why did you invite me?"
The red-robed immortal smiled and said, "The Locust God is a highly accomplished Taoist, having cultivated for countless years. The Lord God reveres me and, upon hearing that the Locust God was coming, he specially ordered me to come and greet him. I wish to meet the Locust God."
The Locust God gave him a strange look. "Since I began my practice, some have feared me, some have respected me, and yet I haven't seen anyone close to me. I'm surprised you've even invited me to meet you."
The red-robed immortal continued, "The Lord God has already prepared a banquet. I hope the Locust God will honor us with his presence."
With such a big scene and such a handsome... strange person, the Locust God stepped onto the sedan chair and was guarded by these little ghosts and evil spirits, heading towards the nearby mountains.
The red-robed immortal continued to play the piano, and the sound of the piano flowed like spring water, making people feel happy.
The locust god looked at the zither player on the sedan chair and asked, "Your music is beautiful. Who are you?"
The red-robed musician continued to play his zither as he laughed, "I'm just a wild fox in the mountains. Luckily, I've cultivated myself, and I have some meager magical powers and some mediocre skills, but they're not anything to be proud of."
"Locust God, you can call me Gong Mingfu."
