Heavenly Master help

Chapter 22 What does worshiping a tree mean?

"That can't be your mother?" Mu Yang saw a middle-aged woman sitting on a crude sedan chair being carried away in the Wandering God team, and then turned back to ask Song Tao.

Song Tao nodded with a stiff neck.

"Mom, mom..." Song Tao shouted, but the crowd was so loud that Song's mother couldn't hear it at all.

Although Songjia Village is a small mountain village, there are about a hundred households in the village, and there are hundreds of people, old and young.

Once these people gather, the momentum is quite impressive.

Seeing the villagers walking gradually into the mountains, Lu Ping'an and Mu Yang decided to follow and see the situation first.

Originally, Song Tao wanted to catch up with Song Ma, but was stopped by Lu Pingan.

"Don't worry, look at the situation first." Lu Pingan pressed Song Tao's shoulder and said.

So, the three of them followed far behind the Wandering God team.

The team of wandering gods entered the mountain along the path. The path was difficult and it was night. In order to avoid being discovered as much as possible, the three of Lu Pingan had no choice but to follow the team step by step. go forward.

The Wandering God team soon stopped under a big tree.Lu Pingan looked around by the light of the fire and found that it was a locust tree.

"Let's get closer. Are you familiar? Can you bring us closer?" Lu Ping'an asked Song Tao.

Song Tao nodded, and led Lu Ping'an and Mu Yang into the woods. After turning around, they got behind the big locust tree.

The big locust tree is very strong, at a glance, it must be as big as three or four people hugging each other.

Lu Pingan and the others hid in the grass behind the tree, but they were not afraid of being discovered by the villagers.

Because of the closeness, the voices in the front can be heard clearly.

"You have to come here every day to burn incense and worship. The King Tongtian God will bless you with health and longevity, and you will be free from all diseases. Moreover, as long as you are sincere enough, you can go to Wanfa Paradise to enjoy all the glory and wealth after death." A strong female voice came.

Lu Pingan didn't need to guess to know that Song Tao's mother said these words.

"Why did this create a paradise?" Mu Yang looked confused, "Is this the meaning of combining Chinese and Western? Keeping pace with the times?"

Looking back at Song Tao, Song Tao shook his head, saying that it was the first time he had heard of this Laoshizi Wanfa Paradise.

After the villagers listened to Song Ma's words, they all bowed to the big locust tree.

After about half an hour, the three of Lu Pingan almost fell asleep after waiting, and the villagers returned to the village led by Song Ma.

After the villagers came out, Lu Pingan, Mu Yang, and Song Tao got out from behind the tree and walked to the front of the big locust tree.

"Why do they worship this tree? Is it a tree spirit?" Mu Yang frowned and asked Lu Ping'an.

"The pagoda tree is indeed possible to become a spirit, but if this pagoda tree really becomes a spirit, it stands to reason that we are hiding behind the tree, and we should have been discovered long ago. After all, this is its territory." Lu Pingan Shaking his head, he said, "Besides, I opened my eyes in advance just now. Although this locust tree has yin energy, it doesn't seem to have any signs of becoming a spirit."

"Then why did Song Tao's mother ask the villagers to worship this tree?" Mu Yang asked.

"Song Tao, did your mother mention this locust tree when you came home?" Lu Ping'an looked at Song Tao.

"No, just like you, it's the first time I saw them come to worship this tree." Song Tao said.

"This locust tree has been here for many years. Has anything strange happened in all these years?" Lu Pingan continued to ask.

"No, everyone in our village knows about this locust tree, but nothing special has happened to it, and everyone seems to have never talked about what is special about this tree. After all, there are many such trees in the mountains. , it's just that the tree is a little bigger." Song Tao said.

After hearing this, Lu Pingan nodded, and then began to circle around the big locust tree.

Mu Yang and Song Tao knew that he was observing the tree, so they didn't dare to say anything, for fear of disturbing his thoughts.

While walking around the big locust tree, Lu Pingan stretched out his hand to touch it.

After a while, Lu Pingan shook his head, and found nothing strange about the big locust tree.

Since the big pagoda tree couldn't find anything weird, it had to go to Song Ma.

The only thing Lu Pingan can be sure of now is that Mama Song must have been confused by something, but as for what it is, he is still at a loss.

Because looking at the current situation, if it is a weasel or a vixen, it seems that there is no reason to worship this locust tree.

However, if it is a tree spirit, there is nothing special about this locust tree, it does not look like a spirit.

The locust tree itself has no special features except that it is heavy in yin and can gather yin.

Wait, Juyin!

A thought suddenly flashed in Lu Ping'an's mind.

He looked back at Mu Yang and Song Tao: "There may be something strange buried under the tree, look for it immediately, and see if there is any place where the soil has been dug recently."

Mu Yang and Song Tao nodded after hearing this, and then each found a branch on the ground, and started poking around under the big locust tree to see where the soil was softer.

After about ten, twenty, ten minutes, Mu Yang suddenly shouted: "The soil here is loose, it should be here!"

When Lu Pingan and Song Tao heard this, they immediately surrounded them.The three of them tossed and tossed for a long time with their hands, stones, or branches before finally digging out a wooden sign from under the locust tree.

Lu Pingan wiped off the dirt on the wooden sign with his hands, and suddenly found that the wooden sign turned out to be a spiritual sign, with the words "Tongtian Shenwang" engraved on it. Turning over the back, it was a person's birth date.

"So it is!" Lu Pingan suddenly realized.

"What do you mean?" Mu Yang asked suspiciously.

"I finally know what your mother is fascinated by." Lu Pingan looked at Song Tao and said.

Song Tao frowned at him.

"It's not tree spirits or weasels that confuse your mother and those villagers, but ghosts." Lu Ping'an said.

"Ghost? How could it be a ghost?" Mu Yang asked, "How could this ghost start a religion?"

"I'm thinking that this ghost must have been some kind of cult leader before he was alive, and he also knows how to obtain the power of faith." Lu Pingan said.

"What is the power of faith?" Mu Yang didn't understand.

"It's actually very simple. If someone believes in him and enshrines him, his power will become stronger. If other ghosts want to practice, they usually rely on absorbing Yin Qi. This ghost has found a different way," Lu Pingan shook the spirit card in his hand, "He relies on demagoguery, making people worship him, believe in the sect he created, and absorb the power of the believers' beliefs. Moreover, he also knows how to use locust trees to gather shade. If the days are long, his influence will be great. , it is very likely that he will become a ghost king."

"Damn, according to what you said, this is a ghost with a high IQ!" Mu Yang smacked his tongue.

"That's right, you can't do this if you have a low IQ. Moreover, because this ghost cultivates by deceiving people, it is more harmful than ordinary evil ghosts." Lu Pingan said.

"Then what should we do now?" Mu Yang asked.

"Now that we know what the ghost is, it's not difficult. Now we just need to find his real body." Lu Ping'an said.

"How to find it?" Song Tao asked, "Will my mother be in danger?"

"For the time being, it should not be life-threatening. This ghost is different from other ghosts. He usually doesn't directly harm people. On the contrary, in order to confuse people, he will do some good things. For example, what you said before, such as a child with a fever, and a hen that doesn't lay eggs. , He will help solve these trivial matters." Lu Pingan said.

At this time, a sudden shout came: "Who are you?!"

Lu Pingan, Mu Yang, and Song Tao looked up and saw a middle-aged man staring straight at them.

"Uncle Gui?" Song Tao called out hesitantly.

"So it's Xiaotao," the middle-aged man whom Song Tao called Uncle Gui frowned when he saw Song Tao, and paused, "What are you doing here?"

Before Song Tao could speak, another middle-aged man walked out from behind Uncle Gui. Seeing the spirit card in Lu Pingan's hand, he immediately shouted: "What are you holding?!"

"Hurry up and put it down! How dare you touch the god king's god card!" Another middle-aged man shouted.

Song Tao looked at Lu Pingan with a very nervous expression.

Lu Pingan signaled him to relax with his eyes.

About a dozen villagers held torches and slowly approached Lu Pingan and the three of them.

"Xiaotao, how could you do such a rebellious thing, this is the divine card of the king of gods, how could you dig it out, and put it back quickly!" Uncle Gui came to the three of them and shouted.

Song Tao looked at Uncle Gui, then at Lu Pingan and Mu Yang, a little at a loss.

Mu Yang looked at Lu Pingan, and asked him what to do next.

Lu Pingan quietly made a downward gesture with his hand, telling Mu Yang and Song Tao to take it easy.

Then, he smiled at Uncle Gui and the others and said, "Uncle Gui, and other uncles, how are you? God, so we come here to worship."

"Worship?" Uncle Gui frowned after hearing this, and looked at the three of Lu Ping'an suspiciously.

"Qiqiu, why did you dig out the god card?! It's clearly here to sabotage!" said a bald man next to Uncle Gui.

"That's right, the Lord Protector said before that someone will come to destroy the divine card, and sure enough, I met the three of you tonight." Another uncle with a bad nose said.

"Take them to the Lord Protector, and ask the Lord Protector to dispose of them."

An uncle said this, and immediately got the approval of others.

Then, everyone slowly gathered around.

Mu Yang frowned, and was about to fight back when Lu Pingan stopped him immediately.

Lu Pingan shook his head at him, signaling him to be calm.

"Follow them." Lu Pingan said.

Mu Yang stared at him with wide eyes, are you sure?

More than a dozen villagers surrounded Lu Ping'an and the three, and walked slowly to Song Tao's house.

Along the way, Mu Yang asked Lu Pingan softly: "What do you want to do?"

"Don't worry, don't act rashly, everything is up to me!" Lu Pingan said.

The Song family village is not big, and after coming out of the mountains, they arrived at Song Tao's house in a short while.

The outside of Song Tao's house was surrounded by villagers. When they saw Lu Pingan and the three of them, they all felt a little puzzled, and they discussed in small groups in low voices.

"Master Dharma Protector, please dispose of these three people who stole the god card at night." Uncle Gui stood in front of the door of Song Tao's house and shouted into the room.

After a while, a middle-aged woman walked out of the house in a dazed manner.

It was Song Tao's mother.
