Chapter 732 Common Sense
The community god shifted his feet and asked hurriedly, "When will you be back?"
Xue Nianjiao turned around and said soothingly, "Don't worry, I'll be back at night."
The community god stopped moving again and said, "Be careful."
Xue Nianjiao was walking further and further away, and her voice was unclear in the rain.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to you in Wu Ning."
The community god also knew that Wu Ning had a fox fairy, who was a real fairy, not a so-called "fairy".
The City God of Wuning County attaches great importance to this. Therefore, when the community gods gather, he will especially emphasize to them that unless there is a fox committing a crime, they should not touch this matter.
There are many people in the countryside who believe in the Goddess of Mount Tai. The Goddess of Mount Tai regards foxes as her messengers, and foxes are also symbols of good luck.
When Xue Nianjiao came to see him, he originally thought that he didn't need one more person to share the incense, but after trying it, he found that having one more fox really made a difference.
This fox was eloquent, shrewd, and capable, making him more useful than the original temple keeper. The original temple keeper only cleaned the temple during festivals. Because he had no psychic ability, if he wanted to talk to him, he had to specifically send him a dream, and he might forget it when he woke up.
The land temple is usually deserted, but at least the foxes serve it every day. Even if there is no incense, burning a few pine branches instead is better than leaving it deserted.
The community god's thoughts gradually dissipated in the sound of rain.
Xue Nianjiao did not block the rain, letting it fall on her body, soaking the dust and dirt on her body.
In order to sort out the earth's energy, he dug holes in the fields all night last night, and now his fluffy and beautiful fur has lost its luster.
From the village to the county town, Xue Nianjiao shook her body, shook off the mud and water, and then used the shape-shifting technique to come to a house, jumped onto the wall and watched quietly.
In the house, the sound of a loom could be heard and a woman was humming a little tune. The shuttle was swimming like a fish, and the sound of each shuttle was louder than the last.
There was a boy squatting at the door, writing and drawing with a cloth dipped in water, his face serious and earnest.
Xue Nianjiao looked for a while, then jumped down from the wall and left quietly.
This time, I went to Fox Courtyard.
"Cause a disaster?" Kang Wen was slightly surprised when he heard Xue Nianjiao's words.
Xue Nianjiao nodded and said, "Although the old man is dull, he has lived a long time and seen a lot of things. Although he can't explain things clearly, he rarely makes mistakes."
Kang Wen said, "The Master said last time that when yin and yang are different, disasters will occur frequently. This is definitely not empty talk."
Xue Nianjiao said, "What worries me is that I don't know what disaster or calamity will happen, and how to deal with it."
Kang Wen said, "I asked the Master, and he said that although a major disaster hasn't arrived, minor ones are constantly happening. We should just deal with them normally and have no regrets."
"The teacher is also playing guessing games." Xue Nianjiao was helpless.
"I'm not being cryptic. I don't have the great magical powers to unify yin and yang, so I can only do some minor repairs. It's even more difficult when it comes into your hands."
"Master!"
Xue Nianjiao laughed awkwardly and said, "Why is the Master here?"
Gong Mengbi said, "You are saying bad things about me here. If I don't defend myself, I will be wronged for nothing."
Xue Nianjiao said, "I didn't say anything bad about the Master, I just couldn't figure it out."
Gong Mengbi said, "As for disasters, one is caused by the conflict between yin and yang, and the imbalance of qi. Just like the black dragon was blocked, and the water vapor couldn't move forward, just like this year, when water and fire collided, and the plum rain continued. The other is caused by the imbalance of qi."
"In the eyes of heaven and earth, these anomalies are minor. For example, the continuous plum rains give rise to poisonous insects, ghosts, and evil spirits. For example, the abnormal thoughts of people give rise to ghosts, demons, and evil gods."
"There's a limit to what we can do about disasters. Even if the gods in heaven wanted to intervene, it would take time. We can certainly manage unusual events, but we still need to adapt to the situation. You will be stationed in the village, guarding the community gods. When you encounter unusual events, find appropriate ways to deal with them."
"But that's not the most important thing. Do you know what's the most important thing?"
"Please teach me, Master."
Gong Mengbi patted his head and said, "The most important thing is to stick to common sense. Common sense means adhering to the right path, achieving harmony between yin and yang, fulfilling one's duties, and doing what one should do. That way, even if something unexpected happens, one will not regret their conscience, nor will one put oneself in danger."
"By upholding common sense, we uphold the order of yin and yang. Disasters and anomalies, in the broad context of common sense, are minor problems."
Xue Nianjiao only felt that there were many hidden meanings in Gong Mengbi's words, and he could not fully understand them, but at least he knew how to deal with it now.
Xue Nianjiao said goodbye, "Master, I have to go back."
Gong Mengbi reminded: "Don't forget to worship the moon and practice just because the dark clouds have blocked the moon. If you push away the dark clouds, the moon will still be above."
Xue Nianjiao responded, turned around and walked down the mountain.
Kang Wen could sometimes follow Gong Mengbi's train of thought and asked, "Master Gong, does that mean the plum rain will continue for a while?"
Gong Mengbi said, "It will take at least another twenty days before the conflict between water and fire subsides."
"Will this hurt He?"
"It's inevitable."
Kang Wen sighed and didn't know what to say.
She couldn't even get rid of the essence of water and grain, let alone the mundane world. In the past few years, it seemed that there were few good times.
Sooner or later there will be trouble.
She felt this vaguely in her heart.
However, when Xue Nianjiao was returning to the village, the god of the village grabbed him with a serious face and pulled him to the edge of the field.
Xue Nianjiao slipped out of his hand and asked, "What's wrong?"
The community god did not say anything, and the two of them walked to the edge of the field in the wind and rain.
The water in the field has been released once, but it is still almost full.
"Look." said the community god.
Xue Nianjiao followed his gaze and saw that there was almost no movement in the paddy field except for the wrinkles caused by the wind.
But the community god did not move, and Xue Nianjiao did not move either. The two of them seemed to have merged into the wind and rain and turned into two stones.
Only at this time did I hear strange noises coming from the paddy fields.
It seemed that there were loaches, eels and other things swimming in the water, but the sounds were so dense that it was impossible to imagine how many things were there.
Xue Nianjiao looked at the community god. The community god raised his hand, held up three fingers, then tightened one finger, and then another. As the third finger tightened, he slammed the ground with his palm.
The earth's air violently trembled and erupted upwards, and all the mud and water in the paddy fields flew into the sky.
Xue Nianjiao looked up and saw countless mollusks the size of fish and insects, as well as fingers, wriggling in panic in the air in the muddy water.
Xue Nianjiao's hair stood up all over his body, and as he exhaled and spoke, countless gray rays shot out and hit the strange insects.
Then the mud and water fell back into the field, and the dead insects gradually floated on the water surface.
