I am a fairy

Chapter 23 Beginning of Spring
Wangshu is like the moonlight, or a goddess driving a chariot.

She would appear on the screen, then wander to the bottom of a mountain valley, or wander on a mulberry tree near a village.

She walked lightly, walking in a world invisible to others, and then brought the news to Jiang Chao when she came back.

Wangshu rode in a car, slowly coming from the depths of the big screen through the clouds and mist, and stopped in the center of the screen. She turned her head to look at Jiang Chao outside the screen, her colorful clothes fluttering in the wind.

She told Jiang Chao: "Congratulations, you have become the Lord of the Clouds."

Jiang Chao had never imagined that one day he would be associated with a deity like Yun Zhongjun, or even be directly regarded as Yun Zhongjun.

He is neither divine nor has any special supernatural powers. All the abnormalities he exhibits are merely the external manifestation of something bestowed upon him by the technological age.

Jiang Chao just said, "It saves trouble."

It really saved me a lot of trouble, and I didn't even have to make up a new identity for myself.

Wangshu added, "They are going to build a temple for you soon, aren't you excited?"

Jiang Chao: "What are you excited about?"

Wangshu: "That's your new house."

Jiang Chao: "That's the house where the clay statue lives, not the house where I live."

Jiang Chao did not continue the topic, but asked Wangshu.

Jiang Chao: "Is your plan complete?"

Wangshu: "It has already begun, but it hasn't officially started yet. After all, there are too many broken things."

At this time, Wangshu pointed to something on the movable bracket and said with a smile.

"But I made this for you."

Jiang Chao looked down and recognized what it was at a glance.

"gun?"

Wangshu also began to understand this era and even became familiar with it.

"You can call it Palm Thunder."

"Hey, there's also Thunder Ball!"

Jiang Chao was wondering what a thunder ball was at first, but he immediately realized that a thunder ball was a bullet.

He held the gun in his hand; it felt heavy and a little cold.

With one's finger on the trigger, imagining the movement and sound of the weapon being fired, for the people at that moment, it could indeed be called thunder emanating from the palm of one's hand.

Jiang Chao: "I won't be using this for now."

Wangshu: "You can protect yourself in times of crisis."

Jiang Chao did not refuse, and Wangshu was very happy to see it.

Jiang Chao put it away and walked outside. His physical condition has improved a lot recently and he has become much more active.

"Go and take a look at the situation outside."

Today is the beginning of spring.

Jia Gui decided to start building a temple in front of the jade disk today, and the ceremony of inviting and welcoming the gods would be performed by Yun Zhendao. Many people from all over Xihe County came.

There was a lot of banging and hammering, it was so lively.
-
The original road was gone, but as more people went up and down, a new road was trampled out from the bamboo forest to the foot of the mountain.

The originally wilderness outskirts were now crowded with people. Almost all the important figures in Xihe County had come, and the villagers from Shanghe Township in Yunbi Mountain had gathered at the foot of the mountain.

In addition, there were peddlers, monks, Taoists, masons, actors and musicians and many other types of people gathered here. Women and girls wore headscarves cut into the shape of swallows and moved things, while men helped to clear the way.

"Here it comes, here it comes, do you see it?"

"Yes, the curtain is still hung."

"There is a Taoist priest, do you see it?"

"I heard that it was a Taoist priest from Ziyun who came to our place to perform a ritual."

At the foot of the mountain, gongs and drums were beating, and a group of people were carrying a sedan chair covered with curtains and walking slowly towards the bamboo forest halfway up the mountain. Everyone they passed by first kowtowed and bowed, and then followed closely behind.

This is the custom in Chu during the beginning of spring. However, in the past, the god of spring was sent off, but now someone else has been sent off.

Sitting on the divine chariot is a god who can also bring good weather and has even been proven to be able to call the wind and rain.

Yunzhongjun.

The old spring god was immediately forgotten by everyone, and the old god was replaced by a new one. This is why Jia Gui, the new magistrate of Xihe County, chose this day to combine the Spring Festival celebration, the welcoming ceremony of the god, and the groundbreaking ceremony of the temple.

First, we will take advantage of the beginning of spring to make a big event, and second, we will allow all the people to get involved more quickly and know about this matter.

Thirdly, of course, he wanted "Yun Zhongjun" to see this scene and see his "efforts".

Jia Gui and a group of people were waiting respectfully in front of the bamboo forest. A stone road had been paved in the bamboo forest behind them at some point, leading directly to the flat land at the foot of the mountain behind.

As a Taoist priest standing beside him shouted, "Welcome the gods!"

Behind, voices continued to sound one after another.

“Welcome the gods…Welcome the gods…”

Shouts spread from the mountain road into the bamboo forest.

Finally, it spread all the way to the depths of Yunbi Mountain.

After Jia Gui finished reciting the sacrificial text and performing the ceremony, a group of actors and musicians played the welcoming music again, and everyone made way for him.

The Yin-Yang Taoist walked in the front, and he led his men carrying the divine chariot past the crowd and stepped onto the stone road leading into the bamboo forest.

At this moment.

No matter it was the Yin-Yang Taoist or the Ao and He Taoists, they were all extremely nervous at this moment.

Because further ahead is the foot of the mountain, which is where the cloud wall is located.

Before, the two Taoists Ao and He had witnessed with their own eyes Yun Zhongjun disappearing in front of the cloud wall with the clouds. In their eyes, the jade wall was the entrance to the immortal cave and the door to the yin and yang realms.

And coming there is equivalent to coming before the gods.

At the last moment before entering the bamboo forest, the Yin-Yang Taoist was still instructing Ao and He.

The Yin-Yang Taoist said solemnly: "We must be extremely careful and not make any mistakes. The gods are watching us from above our heads."

Taoist Jin Ao looked around: "I seem to feel someone is looking at me."

Taoist Danhe also nodded: "I feel the same way."

The three Taoists understood something in an instant and didn’t even dare to say a word. They just walked inside chanting scriptures.

However, the divine chariot had just stepped into the bamboo forest and had not taken a few steps when a noise was heard outside, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Jia Gui, the magistrate of Xihe County, who was respectfully welcoming the gods, was a little annoyed. He immediately looked down the mountain and saw a huge team arriving at the foot of the mountain.

The clothes and attire of those people were completely different from those of the villagers in Shanghe Township. One could tell at a glance that they were mountain people living in the deepest part of Yunbi Mountain. I just didn’t know why they came here at this moment.

When County Magistrate Jia Gui saw these mountain people, he was suddenly at a loss.

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

He quickly sent someone to ask, and the man hurried downstairs and returned panting.

"They are mountain dwellers, but they are also here to welcome the gods, and the one they carried..."

The man took a long time to recover from his strength, which made Jia Gui a little anxious.

He asked quickly, "What is being carried?"

The man looked horrified and awed: "It's a witch."

Jia Gui is not a local, but the locals know what the witches are and what they represent. They even feel scared when their names are mentioned.

God is high above, and mortals have never seen him after all, so perhaps they don’t have much feeling for him.

However, the witches have taken root here for thousands of years, and their status and many things have long been deeply rooted in the bodies and even the blood of the people living here.

Jia Gui looked confused: "What, what witch?"

The man said again: "It is said to be the divine witch of Yunzhongjun!"

Jia Gui then looked down, and he also saw a divine chariot among the huge group of mountain people.

However, what Yun Zhendao was carrying was just a straw-bound statue of a god covered in colorful clothes.

On the other side, a living person was being carried.

The so-called witch.

The sacred chariot carried by the mountain people was also covered with a curtain. A masked figure inside raised his head and also looked towards the mountain.
