"God has appeared, Master Literary Saint has appeared!"
"Everyone, come and see the flowers!" "They're blooming, they're blooming here too!"
People who were attending the temple fair were the first to notice the abnormality in the flowers and plants, and then it slowly spread to the whole county. Many people who had already gone to bed at home also got up.
At the Ning'an County government official residence, the magistrate, who had gone to bed early, was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong, sir, get up and take a look, sir!"
"What's wrong?"
The magistrate asked, somewhat reluctant to lift the quilt, while his wife who was leaning inside was slightly annoyed.
"It doesn't stop in the middle of the night during the Chinese New Year. Come and have a look."
Then the two heard some more noise.
"Although it's Chinese New Year, why is there so much noise outside?"
"Master, please get up and take a look. Everyone is up and the flowers in the yard are blooming!"
The magistrate was stunned for a moment, and half of his sleepiness disappeared. He opened the quilt, put on his coat, and walked towards the door. The moment he opened the door, a burst of flower fragrance accompanied by the cold wind hit his face. He looked into the courtyard. Under the light of the lantern, there were rhododendrons and azaleas. Peonies and begonias are already in bloom.
At this moment, the magistrate's sleepiness completely dissipated, and his wife also put on her coat and came behind him, staring blankly at the scene in the courtyard.
"Is it really all open?"
"Could it be that God, sensing Du's hard work, caused the flowers in our courtyard to bloom on winter nights?"
The magistrate was shocked and very happy, and said something jokingly, but the servant immediately spoke.
"Master, not only here, but also in other places. The grass and trees all over the county have turned green, and the flowers have bloomed everywhere. It just happened for a while, and now everyone is looking at the flowers everywhere!"
"really?"
the magistrate asked excitedly.
"Master, you will know when you go out and take a look."
"Okay, let me get dressed and let's go out!"
Not long after, the magistrate had already walked out of the official residence with his wife, children and family. It was as lively as daytime outside. People in Ning'an County were awake, and there were people running around to look at the flowers.
The spectacle of blooming flowers cannot be seen in spring and summer, let alone in this cold winter.
The magistrate went out in casual clothes and saw many places. There were red flowers and green leaves everywhere, and the fragrance of flowers was everywhere. I couldn't help but sigh to the sky.
"A hundred flowers bloom, a hundred flowers bloom, this is auspicious!"
"Sir, why don't you come up to the Holy Spirit and listen to me in order to please Him?"
"Hahahaha, this is natural!"
Not to mention the excited people of Ning'an County, the ghosts and gods in the county were also shocked. At this moment, ghosts and gods were everywhere wandering in the county, but all they could see were flowers blooming and no traces of spiritual power and magic.
The Yinsi of Ning'an County, the City God and the great gods of various departments, as well as the Land God of Ning'an County and the gods worshiped by the people have all gathered here.
"This is not caused by mystical magic, let alone any illusion!"
"I have heard that there is a flower god in the heaven. Is this his doing?"
"No, the god of heaven records the number of days and observes the heaven and earth. Although he is close to the yin and yang of heaven and earth, he cannot interfere with the movement of all things at will. What's more, there is no trace of power in this matter. The flower god may be able to cast spells to make several kinds of flowers and plants bloom, but he has no command to let flowers and plants bloom. Let it go.”
"Lord City God, it seems that the flowers and plants are feeling the aura of spring in the world, and they are blooming at this moment under stress!"
"This is the unknown mystery between heaven and earth!"
Generally speaking, the ghosts and gods in the earthly realm have no direct relationship with the heavenly realm. Even the City God's Yin Division, a considerable part of them are theoretically not superior and subordinate to the Netherworld Underworld. Most things still continue to be independent from the ancient system, but the connection is closer, which can be regarded as I have more recognition for the source of the underworld and the Emperor of the Netherworld.
Of course, theory is theory. The upper Yang and the lower Yin are already the legal system. It can be regarded as an additional way of practice for all Shinto. Many ghosts and gods can ascend to perfection with their merits, so it is a relatively benign and subtle relationship.
Therefore, unlike the magistrate of Ning'an County who has the idea of pleasing Shangguan and the emperor, the non-existence of ghosts and gods is something that must be reported. You can make your own judgment and act on it. For this kind of thing today, you can report the shared information and ask if there is any way. God knows the reason.
... ...
On this night when the people of Ning'an County are happy, streams of light are flying in all directions, which is destined to make some people unable to calm down in this New Year.
There are small letters flying in all directions, and the arrival time varies depending on the distance. The goal is basically to seek friends with some "bad tempered" or pretentious and arrogant friends, such as Laolong, Haechi, and the old beggar, etc. A limited number of people , telling him to choose a day to visit is also a way of saying that he is safe.
Although Ji Yuan does not intend to announce the news that he is still alive to the world, it is fine and quiet as not many people know about him now, but people like Lao Long and the old beggar are so face-saving, if they are not the most Inform him first, most likely he is going to lose his temper, but for places like Yunshan Temple, there is no need to inform him in a hurry.
Outside the Tongtian River Dragon Palace, two Yakshas were standing guard with steel forks in their hands. Suddenly, a vague stream of light flashed away.
"Huh? What just happened?"
"Ah? Has something passed?"
The two Yakshas looked back in the direction of the Dragon Palace, as if they had just been dazzled.
This ink-colored stream of light escaped in the Dragon Palace. After turning around for several times, it didn't see the person it was looking for. It just flew back and forth in the hall in my memory. Suddenly, it heard some movement and immediately landed on the jade case in the hall. It became silent.
"What dares to break into the Dragon Palace?"
"How brave!"
At this moment, teams of yakshas in the Dragon Palace are beginning to investigate inside and outside the Dragon Palace.
Xiao Zi hid in the jade case and didn't dare to make a sound. He remembered that the old man could come and go freely here, and thought he could do the same. Now he saw that the yakshas seemed to be trying to catch him, and neither the old dragon nor the dragon child dragon was found. I was a woman, and I couldn't see the familiar Yasha, so I was a little scared. The Dragon Palace would not change hands.
"What's so noisy?"
Dragon Mother slowly came out accompanied by two fish girls, and immediately Commander Yaksha came to report.
"Junmu, there was an unknown spiritual light that escaped into the Dragon Palace earlier. We are investigating."
"Go down, there's nothing evil here."
"Mother, Mr. Long is not here. If anything happens to you, I will wait..."
"Go down, the escaping light has already left. If there is anything, I won't be able to detect it. How can you find it?"
The small characters hidden on the jade case in the main hall immediately inspired me to realize this!
A streak of ink light flew out in a flash and stopped in front of the Dragon Mother. The surrounding Yashas were at war with each other, but the Dragon Mother stretched out her hand to stop them.
In the sight of everyone, the main body within the ink light appeared as a simple character "小".
'This is! '
The mother of dragons was slightly shocked, but after all, she was not the old dragon nor her two children, so she was not sure yet.
"Greetings to the Dragon Mother!"
The small characters came out in a crisp voice, making the surrounding yaks guess who the evil spirit was, but the Dragon Mother was already half sure.
"The eldest master asked me to tell Mr. Long that he will come to visit in a while. I've finished saying that, shall I go?"
Seeing the ink light appearing around the small characters, the Dragon Mother quickly called out to it.
"Hey wait! The great old man you talk about is Mr. Ji?"
"Exactly, the elder has just returned home. Mother Dragon, can I leave?"
"My husband is attending a banquet in heaven. I will tell him. Please excuse me, little envoy!"
"Farewell!"
With a flash of ink light, the small characters suddenly disappeared before his eyes, and the surrounding Yashas didn't even react.
Mother Dragon's face was excited and she was obviously a little excited.
"Go and tell your husband that Mr. Ji is at home!"
"yes!"
"Wait! Go to Liuli Palace and tell Ruoli that you must leave as soon as possible and come back quickly!"
"As you command!"
The Yasha who was responsible for the communication quickly set off. When the Yashas around him dispersed, some were full of doubts, while others who understood were equally shocked.
Half an hour later, Mother Long remembered her son and ordered someone to go and tell him.
... ...
In the small pavilion of Ju'an, Zao Niang realized that she had caused the flowers and plants in Ning'an County to be out of order. However, this was neither intentional nor harmed anyone. There was nothing to blame. Instead, Ji Yuan led others to reward them. Circle flowers.
After leaving the noodle stall, Hu Yun didn't know that Ji Yuan had come back and was still chasing She Ji.
