I am a fairy

Chapter 125 The Arm of God and Demon?

Night is approaching.

There seemed to be more people in the market in the south of the city than in the daytime. Pedestrians gathered in the market square, vendors lit candles, and patrolling officers held lanterns.

The child sat on his grandfather's neck, holding his hat, and gazing from afar at the high platform where the paper statue of the god was enshrined.

As the sky gradually darkened.

The wizard appeared again.

It came out of the darkness and walked towards the platform. As it climbed higher and higher, changes began to occur on the platform.

Everyone's attention was originally focused on the shaman, but they soon discovered that there seemed to be something moving in the darkness behind the paper statue on the stage.

at the very beginning.

Everyone thought it was just an illusion, but soon found out it wasn't, and they all cried out in surprise.

"Is my vision blurry? I seem to see something dangling behind Wang Shan Gong. Do you see it?"

"The statue of the god, Wangshan Gong, behind Wangshan Gong."

"Something seems to have revealed itself!"

"See? Something is moving."

"what?"

The paper idol on the high platform lay motionless. Although its stiff eyebrows and eyes were clearly visible, it looked somewhat scary in the dim light of the night.

The eyes drawn with ink are facing everyone, as if examining them.

What's even more terrifying is.

In full view of everyone, everyone saw a long "arm" extending from a distorted shadow behind the paper puppet.

The "arm" continued to extend, and it was probably more than ten feet long, and this was only the visible part.

This.

It definitely couldn't be a human arm.

The twisted arm shadow alone was more than ten feet long. How tall must the existence without revealing its body in the darkness be?

Looking at the darkness behind the paper statue, everyone seemed to imagine an extremely tall and terrifying ghost or demon.

Everyone immediately turned their attention back to the wizard. They had all seen what happened on the stage, and it was impossible for the wizard, who was so close, not to see it.

however.

Everyone only saw the wizard still walking towards the higher place, unmoved at all.

It was as if he already knew what was behind the platform.

Now everyone understood: "That thing was summoned by the witch."

Everyone felt relieved, but they still couldn't help swallowing.

Everyone looked carefully and finally found that the "arm" in the darkness continued to extend upwards, and finally hung a round object on the pole on the platform.

Then he slowly turned the round object, as if adjusting its position.

"Den!"

With a dull sound, the round object lit up.

The bright light passed through the entire street, instantly dispelling the darkness.

The cold and bright light illuminated the entire street, covering all the candles, lanterns and lights, and even overshadowing the bright moon in the sky.

Under the "bright moon".

The outline of the shaman walking on the wooden stairs suddenly became extremely clear.

Every detail of her gown.

Her hair.

Two pendants dangling under the ears.

At this moment, everything is clear.

Even when the sun and moon pendants rotated under the light, they reflected double rays like stars.

Seen from behind, the wizard's shadow became even more mysterious.

The shaman walked towards the height under the light, came to the paper idol step by step, and then stopped.

She raised her head, looked at the "arm" raised high in the air, and then looked up at the "bright moon".

And that magical arm fell down little by little.

Covering her face.

It seemed that he wanted to take down the divine face of the god.

Because next, she will hold the ceremony of worshiping the earth god and forging the earth god's body as a witch, and not as the incarnation of Yun Zhongjun.

And below it.

The densely packed crowd at the scene opened their mouths wide as they watched the strange arm extend from the darkness, holding up a lamp that looked like the moon and the sun.

Then it gradually appeared under the light, and everyone could see the arm clearly.

It emits a bright silver light and has a structure that is so complex and sophisticated that it is dazzling, and these structures are constantly moving and changing as it moves.

It is huge yet reveals extreme dexterity, strange yet has unparalleled beauty.

His arm touched the mask of the wizard, and then his palm and fingers extended out.

The "arm" unveiled the face representing the god and lifted it up little by little.

Revealing what was hidden underneath.

The face of a wizard.

However, the wizard had his back to everyone, and from this angle, no one could see his appearance.

But at this time everyone was attracted by the giant arm, and their eyes were only on the constantly moving and changing arm of the god and demon.

"Then, what exactly is that?"

"spirits?"

"demon?"

"Or a god?"

Unlike other things that were called myths before, this time they could see it clearly.

In order to allow them to see more clearly, the lights were even turned on extra brightly.

as if.

As if afraid they couldn't see it.

However, everyone looked at the "Arm of God and Demon", no matter they were the powerful officials from wealthy families, the knowledgeable eunuchs from the capital, or the monks and Taoists who traveled far and wide and claimed to have mastered the secret of Yin and Yang and the way of reincarnation.

At this moment, no one could tell what that arm was, and could only shout.

"The arm of gods and demons."

“This is the arm of the gods and demons.”

They have never seen such a technological creation that completely transcends this era and dimension.

The mystery is difficult for people to understand and even difficult to describe.

It can only be released by the power of gods, demons, immortals and saints.
-
On top of the sacred peak.

The moonlight shines through the clouds and mist and into the cave.

"Gulu gulu."

In the hot spring pool, a head popped out from under the water and looked at the moon outside the cave.

Jiang Chao swam to the edge of the pool, picked up the towel on the plate, wiped his hair and face, and then leaned against the edge of the pool.

After a while, he suddenly asked.

"Today I saw the smart engineering vehicle come back, and then you were dispatched again."

"Where was he sent to again?"

A voice came from the radio: "Sent to Xihe County."

Jiang Chao couldn't remember any project in Xihe County that required the use of smart engineering vehicles, but he knew clearly what Xihe County was going to do today.

Jiang Chao: "I remember, today seems to be the Summer Festival?"

The so-called summer festival is the summer solstice.

Jiang Chao asked: "What is the purpose of sending the intelligent engineering vehicle to Xihe County?"

Wangshu replied: "Build the Earth God system terminal of Xihe County. Currently, there is no Earth God in Xihe County."

It means base station and weather station, and also represents the community temple of this era.

Jiang Chao: "What kind of earth god does Xihe County need?"

The Huangquan Base is just outside Xihe County and is completely within the signal coverage range. There is no need to build a base station and weather station here, which would be a bit redundant.

Wangshu replied: "It will make management easier. In this way, Huangquan Base will no longer directly manage the base stations and weather stations above, but will only be responsible for its own affairs."

"What is in heaven is under the jurisdiction of heaven, what is on earth is under the jurisdiction of earth, and what is underground is under the jurisdiction of underground."

"Besides, because this place is so important, we also need a local god to supervise it."

“It’s like ancient times.”

"The capital of a country should also have a Jingzhao Yin."

Jiang Chao nodded and thought it made sense.

Jiang Chao: "However, you haven't told me what the intelligent engineering vehicle is going to do?"

Wangshu: "The witch wants to forge a Dharma body for the Earth God of Xihe County. I will send a smart engineering vehicle to directly print out the body of the Earth God and assemble it at the same time."

"This is called the Midas Touch."

Jiang Chao: "Is it necessary to make such a big fuss? When the community temple is built, we can just quietly install it there."

Wangshu: "Aren't you always afraid that you will be exposed as a deity?"

"And you're still saying that you're playing tricks on me?"

Jiang Chao: "I'm not afraid, I just think it's very troublesome. If we're not careful, we'll become the devil from outer space and everyone will want to kill us."

"After all, we are just passing through. Don't make any mess that cannot be cleared up."

In a sense, the stranger who fell from the sky and came from nowhere is nothing more than a demon from outer space.

Wangshu: “So, come and take a look!”

Jiang Chao: "What are you looking at?"

Wangshu: "Today, let everyone watch us play tricks on you."

Jiang Chao turned his head and looked at the radio placed next to the spring pool.

Wangshu's voice came from the radio: "I have prepared a big light so that everyone can see it clearly." Jiang Chao: "What do you want to prove?"

Wangshu: "When you possess power and technology that transcends your time, you will become a god in the eyes of mortals."

Wangshu said this very confidently and seriously.

"Jiang Chao, you are different."

"In the eyes of people of this era, you are a deity."

"Whether it's strength or any other aspect."

Jiang Chao looked at the radio without any expression. In the silence, he suddenly spoke.

"You're not trying to PUA me, are you?"

Wangshu: "Why doesn't what the book says work? Doesn't it say it can cheer people up, like taking a shot of chicken blood?"

Jiang Chao turned around, soaked himself in the spring pool, and covered his face with a towel.

"Just paying attention to meaningless things and being too serious about things that are useless."

"While we have time, let's seriously think of a way to get back!"
-
The county seat of Xihe County.

Everything on the platform was still going on, and there were many horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts parked on one side of the street.

On several of the ox-drawn carts, there were several beautiful dancers sitting on each of them. The beauties pushed aside the curtains and looked outside cautiously.

As soon as the shaman from Chu appeared, he seemed different from the barbaric shaman that we had imagined.

although.

Their demeanor and attire still have some witchcraft-like style, for example, the custom of wearing a mask comes from Nuo masks, and the sun and moon pendants on their ears.

But the figure that came into view did not look at all savage, vicious, ugly or filthy.

But it carries the rhythm of ancient times.

A nature that transcends the vulgarity of this world.

"That's not a witch from the human world."

"Rather, it's the witch in the myth."

But as soon as this thought came into my mind, it seemed that this was how a witch should be.

There were also many figures on the houses beside the road, looking at the changes on the platform in shock.

They watched as the "Arm of God and Demon" put away the mask, and also watched as the wizard with his back to them turned around and glanced at everyone.

This glance also allowed everyone to see the appearance of the wizard.

In an instant, everything around became quiet.

This is true for everyone, regardless of gender, age or status.

The doubts that many people had in their hearts seemed to have been completely answered.

Even.

The answer is somewhat beyond imagination.

People born in this era rarely leave their hometowns, rarely visit other places, and even fewer travel around.

Most people have never seen such a grand scene as today's even once in their entire lives, and there are not many so-called good-looking or handsome people they can see.

And today, they may have seen the closest thing to the word "heaven" in their lifetime.

Even those knowledgeable people, looking at the wizard whose mask was taken off by the arms of gods and demons, thought for a moment that they saw the celestial being in the mural walking down.

"Is that the witch?" The country folk, farmers and common people in the audience were all dumbfounded. Everyone had a different expression, but they were surprisingly quiet, as if their souls had been taken away.

"So, this is what a shaman looks like?" People from other places knelt down at this moment and worshipped the person on the stage, just like they were worshipping Guanyin on the lotus platform and Xuannv in the sky.

"Is this a boy or a girl?" The women in the carriage on the pavilion were also stunned.

"Is this a human or a saint?" Or maybe it doesn't matter whether the person is a man or a woman, as no one thinks that such appearance is something a human can possess.

"Isn't this the appearance of a god?" Eunuch Ma Fu and the eunuchs who followed him all looked greatly changed. Even though they were used to seeing so-called beauties, they had never seen such an appearance, especially there.

Under the light of the magic lamp, it was as bright as day on the platform.

It also made the shadow of the witch appear more sacred, ethereal and transcendent. There was no flaw in its appearance under such brilliance. Instead, it added a bit of color, as if it was a jade porcelain carefully carved by God.

It was not until the shaman on the stage began to pray to the nine heavens that the people in the audience came back to their senses amid the chanting.

But his eyes were still fixed on the "celestial being" on the stage.

As if afraid to move his eyes.

The celestial being on the stage then turned into a dream bubble, or floated into the clouds and disappeared.

The wizard turned his body and waved his sleeves.

"The auspicious clouds from heaven descend upon the mortal world with holy light, illuminating the spirits of mountains and rivers, the god of the land, Wangshan Gong is the most respected."

"In the past, the earth and stone solidified into a shape, and now the golden body is revealed. With the will of all, we will build a statue of the god together to show our respect!"

The sound reached the nine heavens, as if praying to heaven.

Today we hold a sacrificial ceremony to confer the title of Lord Wangshan, the local god of Xihe, and to build his statue and Dharma body. We hope that Heaven will allow this.

Then, the shamans below began to recite the second half of the sacrificial speech.

As a witch, she worshipped the god of the earth.

The witches sang loudly.

"Ah! Mr. Wangshan."

"Protect the land, protect the people, sow in spring and harvest in autumn, Lai Er will bless you."

"Now the golden statue is magnificent and shining. I pray that the God of Mountain will protect me even more and bring good weather and good harvest to our county."

"We are the common people, either farming or weaving, each doing our own job, but we hope for the grace of the mountain master..."

"I wish that the golden statue of Shan Gong will be forever solid, his divine power will be mighty, and he will protect our city, so that all people can live and work in peace and contentment, and that the incense will continue to burn and the sacrifices will never end year after year."

"I hope you will enjoy it."

Below the stage, Ma Fu knelt on the ground with everyone else, offering sacrifices and worshipping the gods.

Only after the sacrificial words were finished did he dare to stand up and raise his head, only then did he discover that the "celestial being" on the stage was still there.

It did not fly away from the underworld, but still remained in the human world.

"Is it true that the divine witch was once a mortal, not a celestial being who descended to the mortal world?"

This was the first thing Ma Fu asked Jia Gui when he stood up.

His voice is sharp, almost questioning, or one can say that by listening to his tone at this moment one can also observe his inner changes and fluctuations.

to be frank.

After seeing the appearance of the wizard, perhaps it was the flawlessness under the lighting, or perhaps it was that the atmosphere was too mysterious, he really couldn't imagine how such a person could be born in the world.

Jia Gui had seen the appearance of a divine wizard before, but although the divine wizard had an outstanding appearance before, he still had the appearance of a mortal world.

But when I saw him today, he had transformed into a god-like being.

All of a sudden.

Jia Gui couldn't tell whether the witch on the stage was the witch he knew, or the celestial being in the mural who had descended to the mortal world.

He couldn't figure it out, so he could only talk to the eunuch from the capital.

"The divine witch has ascended to heaven many times and is no longer a mortal from the lower world."

"Perhaps, he was contaminated by the immortal spirit in the sky, or perhaps Yun Zhongjun bestowed a miraculous elixir."

"He has become a celestial being."

Other temple servants were also looking at the shaman on the stage and talking about it.

"How can such a look exist in the mortal world?"

"It's so beautiful that I can't tell whether it's a man or a woman."

"The so-called heavenly appearance, men with female appearance and women with male appearance, how can they be compared with ordinary people?"

“With this appearance alone, if I were to go to the capital and sit on the lotus platform of the divine chariot, I’m afraid countless people would worship me as a Bodhisattva.”

The people below were still discussing and shocked by the appearance of the shaman, while at this time, the shaman on the platform had already begun the next step of the sacrifice.

After praying to God, it is time to start the next step.

The shaman threw the prayer into the fire.

"boom!"

As the flames leaped up, the yellow paper burned to ashes.

The shaman walked step by step to the paper idol, chanting spells as he walked.

After she finished chanting the spell, she walked to the paper idol, opened her eyes, and then pointed her finger at the doll's brow, as if injecting something into it.

"Mr. Wangshan!"

"reset!"

Open your mouth like a command from God.

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, the "bright moon" on the high platform began to shake violently.

This also made all the shadows under the platform dance along, as if the streets and the darkness were also rippling together.

The wizard retreated to the steps.

Amid the ripples, the arm of the god and devil appeared again.

Only this time it was not just one arm, but huge arms extending out one after another, pulling down twisted shadow projections, just like the appearance of the three-headed, six-armed gods and demons in ancient myths and legends.

The huge and strong arm of the god and demon fell from great height, covering the entire platform, as if holding it in the palm of its hand.

As the arm covered it, a strange sound was emitted.

The paper idol also began to change.

His paper body dissolved little by little, and then a metal structure seemed to appear out of thin air.

From bottom to top, it is constantly piled up, accompanied by extremely dense and tiny sounds.

That paper-made deity.

It actually changed from paper to metal.

"what!"

When the people in the audience saw this scene, even the common people and the villagers, immediately thought of the magical power that was the most widely rumored and most admired by mortals in the world.

Even without waiting for the scholars, officials, and knowledgeable merchants to say their names.

There was a villager who couldn't even read and shouted out.

"The Midas Touch?"
