I am a fairy

Chapter 21: Searching for the Origin of the Immortal God

The county seat of Xihe County.

Jia Gui settled the villagers of Zhangjia Village and accepted the thanks of everyone in the county office. Then he went back home triumphantly.

Xihe County is not very big and there are not many new things happening there. The recent appearance of gods and the walking of dragons are rare events that occur only once in a century.

As he rode through the streets in his carriage, he deliberately stopped in the busy alleys to listen, and immediately heard the young talents in the county talking about him.

"Mr. Jia, with the help of God, resolved the disaster of the dragon and saved thousands of lives."

"Our county magistrate is no ordinary person. He came from the capital. He is a remarkable person. He met a god as soon as he arrived."

"When Magistrate Jia arrived, he arranged for Liu Yi to go to the mountains. After the dragon left, he immediately went there to resettle the people. He really cares about the people!"

"This time, we finally have a good official."

Jia Gui was so delighted that he wanted to sing a few verses on the spot, but he could only pretend to be calm and talked to the coachman.

"Go, go back."

After returning home, he became worried again and immediately went to see his two children.

Seeing several small stoves in the yard decocting medicine, he went over angrily and asked the waitress.

"Has the doctor come to see you?"

"Is it okay!"

This frightened the waitress who was decocting the medicine so much that she fell to her knees and spoke quickly.

"uncle."

"The doctor has examined her and said that Madam Lan just has a cold and is not seriously ill."

After making sure that everything was fine, Jia Gui's worry and anxiety subsided, but his anger surged up again.

He pushed the door open and walked in, and saw his son and wife in the room. His daughter Jia Lan was lying on the bed drinking medicine, so he immediately sat on a chair.

As soon as my daughter finished drinking the medicine, she started to get angry.

"You guys insisted on going to see it. I told you to go and see it, but I told you to just stay on the mountain. What's wrong with you two?"

"He ran to the mountains in the dead of night. He knew he was going to die, but he still rushed into that deadly place."

"Is he possessed by a ghost on the road, or is he bewitched by a monster in the mountains?"

The young man from the Jia family was originally saying something excitedly, but now he could only lower his head and speak cautiously.

"Nothing happened, so my sister and I decided to go to the riverside to take a look. Maybe we could run into the gods again."

"Who knew that halfway through the journey, thunder would roar in the sky."

"The wind and rain were blowing, the mountains were collapsing, the dragon broke free, and we fled all the way to the river. We were almost eaten by the dragon."

Jia Gui became more and more angry and slammed the table.

"It's not so easy to meet a deity, and you can only see what the deity lets you see, it's not something you can do as you wish."

"You are so reckless. What will happen if you offend the gods?"

The young man from the Jia family didn't dare to speak now and lowered his head.

Having said this, the girl lying on the bed put the bowl aside.

After the maid took the bowl, she raised her head weakly and said something softly.

"We saw it."

Jia Gui was stunned for a moment and looked at his daughter.

"See?"

Then he looked at his son again.

"What did you see?"

The young man from the Jia family dared to continue speaking. At the same time, he thought of the scene he saw the previous night. He was so excited that he immediately stood up and spoke.

"We ran to the river at night and happened to see the immortal sitting deep in the cave."

"This time, in order to suppress the dragon, the immortal revealed his true form. A halo of light was reflected behind him. My sister and I really saw the deity descend to the world."

"The vicious mud dragon passed through the mountains all the way, passed under the grotto and merged into the river. The immortal subdued the evil dragon on the river and sent it into the river little by little. The dragon did not dare to move under the immortal's halo."

As he spoke, the scene in the young man's mind became clearer and clearer, and everything was vivid.

On the black-sailed boat in the midst of a violent storm, a dragon was born amidst thunder and lightning, and a god came to earth with a moon-like halo to send the dragon into the river.

He felt that he might never forget that scene in his lifetime.

"Grandpa, you didn't see the scene that night. It was a thousand times more shocking than what was written in the book."

"God, that's what a real god is." Jia Gui's face changed suddenly. It turned out that when the dragon was born, the god also appeared with it.

Hearing his two children say this, the Jia County Master felt excited and wanted to push forward the matter of building a temple and statue for the deity more quickly.

Jia Gui thought about it and said to his staff beside him.

"Make arrangements and go meet the Yin-Yang Taoist of Yun Zhen Dao tomorrow."

The Yun Zhen Dao came to Xihe County in the previous dynasty and has been passed down here for four generations. After Jia Gui came here, he had only heard of the Yin-Yang Taoist priest, who used to be the chief clerk in Jingu County on the other side of Yunbi Mountain. Later, he gave up his official position to practice Taoism and was said to have made some achievements.

Jia Gui wanted to build a temple for the gods, and in his opinion, the assistance of Taoism was indispensable.
-
At this moment.

The three Taoists of Yunzhen Dao and a group of Taoist children and believers seemed extremely busy. The Taoist leader fasted, prayed, divined and asked for divination to pray for a response from heaven. Other literate people were also busy trying to find the origin of the immortal in the book.

However, after reading through all the classics and records, they could not find any record of anyone becoming an immortal in Yunbi Mountain.

Fat Taoist Jin Ao: "It really isn't that. It can only be the god worshipped by Chu in ancient times."

The thin Taoist Dan He said: "You can't say he is not an immortal, but he is not a Taoist immortal. However, he is also a righteous god from ancient China, who has been forgotten today."

The Yin-Yang Taoist of Yun Zhen Dao also nodded in agreement, expressing his agreement with what the Danhe Taoist said.

"Yes."

"Since he is the ancient righteous god of China, he is also the immortal saint worshipped by our Taoist sect."

"If we can get people today to worship the ancient gods of China again, and continue the incense offerings of the gods who protected our human race during the wilderness, it will be a great merit."

When Taoist Jin'ao heard what the other two said, he immediately nodded rapidly.

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Since he is the ancient god of the human race, he must be the immortal saint of my Taoist sect."

Little by little, the attitudes of the two had undergone a drastic change, from worshiping evil ghosts to worshipping the barbaric witch gods of the Chu land.

All the way to the righteous gods of China and the ancient immortals of Taoism.

It's only been a few days.

Since then, Yun Zhendao has determined its direction and is determined to seize this opportunity.

But there is a problem. You cannot worship this god whenever you want. If you want to worship the god, you have to find the door to enter.

If you don't even know the name of the deity, and just make up something and say that this is the deity of your home, who knows what the other gods will do. This deity so close to your door will probably come knocking on your door right away.

Since the unknown god can let the mud dragon enter the river, he can also let the dragon leave the river and make another trip.

Taoist Danhe stroked his beard and thought: "In ancient times, this Yunbi Mountain belonged to the ancient Chu State, and this area was called Yunmeng Lake. Now the ancient Chu State has long disappeared, and Yunmeng Lake has also turned into Xiangjun Lake and the other three lakes. The spirit must have come from here."

Taoist Jin Ao said in a loud voice: "Is he the lord of mountains and rivers in ancient times?"

The Yin-Yang Taoist thought of the magical powers displayed by the god: "That god can call the wind and rain and know the changes of heaven and earth. He can suppress the dragon like controlling a slave. He is definitely not an ordinary god."

Taoist Danhe said again: "Could it be that he is the God of Yunmeng Water, or the God of Xiang River?"

The Yin-Yang Taoist shook his head, feeling that something was still not right.

"Check the relevant records about the Cloud Wall. That should be the most important thing."

Stay up all night and read by lamplight.

Until the cockcrowed, no one was seen resting in the Taoist temple.

At daybreak, when the three of them finally had some clues about the situation, someone came in from outside to report.

"Master, someone is coming up the mountain."

The three Taoists looked outside impatiently. Before the Taoist Master spoke, Taoist Jin Ao shouted outside.

"No outsiders today."

But soon, another person rushed in.

"Master, two Taoist priests, it's Magistrate Jia who has arrived."

At this moment, the three Taoists looked at each other, and Taoist Danhe immediately spoke.

"Please come quickly."

Jia Gui wants "professionals" like Yun Zhendao to perform rituals to welcome gods, build temples and erect statues to continue the incense for the gods. Yun Zhendao also wants to use the power of Jia Gui, the county magistrate, to achieve the goal of getting close to the gods and even becoming the gods' "spokesperson".

In a sense, the two can be said to have hit it off.

But in the end, the Yin-Yang Taoist stood up.

"No, hurry up and follow me to greet him."
