How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

Chapter 292: 1 Step 1 Sound 1 Birth of Lotus, the Dragon Roars with Might

With the examples of the Zheng family and the Luo family in the past, more and more people came here to visit.

The blessing plan was proceeding in an orderly manner. Xie Chengze and Hu Lai relied on their "God's perspective" to fool the gentry and merchants, making them lose their minds. They were regarded as real immortals, and the incense and money they offered in return were sent to their immortal residences in boxes.

Xie Chengze would occasionally take his concubines on parades to preach and bask in the sun to replenish calcium and vitamin D.

During this period, a Sheniu citizen, who had accumulated the qualification to pray and make a wish by referring 200 people, came up and kowtowed to the Immortal Xianyu, shouting excitedly, "Master! The believers want to get rich overnight! We don't have to farm to support our families anymore in this life!"

The immortal waved his hand and several silver bills fell from the sky. The believer picked them up and saw that there were actually one thousand and two taels of silver!

Sure enough, it was enough for him to spend a lifetime!

"Long live the wise fish master!"

He ran out of the door cheering, and the people who knew about this stopped cutting down trees and rushed from village to village, trying to persuade, or rather, recommend them to join the Xianyu Sect.

Some of the more intelligent people even learned how to "join groups" to get 200 people to join the religion, and then share 1,000 taels of silver.

Seeing that more and more people were about to accumulate enough money to be eligible to make a wish, the thrifty Xie Chengze packed up his bags and banknotes, preparing to run away with his men after completing his last wish.

On this day, the wind was blowing hard and dark clouds covered the city.

It was a good weather for spreading ominous rumors and tricking people into abandoning the city and fleeing.

Xie Chengze, dressed in an orange-yellow Taoist robe, stepped onto the rain-praying platform in the city step by step. The cold wind seemed to become much softer when it fell on him, blowing the white gauze under the precious gold veil hat to float like waves. The colorful palace belt around his waist swayed in the wind. The large silver lapel was tied with crisp silver bells, which rang with every step, and a lotus flower grew with every step.

"Look!"

The sharp-eyed people immediately pointed to the steps of the rain-praying platform, and saw that as Xie Chengze walked, he left one vermilion lotus print after another on the stone steps!

"Wow! What is this? It's amazing!"

"As expected of you, Immortal Master!"

"The power reaches the sky!"

Stepping onto the center of the rain-praying platform, Xie Chengze held hand bells made of copper and iron sheets in both hands, and began to dance like a ghost to the heavy and solemn drum beats, chanting prayers for insight into the secrets of heaven, and making ghostly cries from time to time.

"The universe is bright, the sun and the moon are shining! The stars are arranged in a regular pattern!"

"Wooo ...

"The way of heaven is revealed, the divine power of creation! See through the universe and glimpse the rise and fall!"

"Wooo ...

Many people came here to watch and were stunned by this scene. Zhu Xiaobiao stood at the edge of the crowd, looking at the diligent Xie Chengze, and couldn't help but whispered to the guard Wuhen Wuji, "Our prince, even if he just dances casually, he is as beautiful as an immortal."

Because his ribs had not fully healed, Xie Chengze only moved his sleeves slightly while dancing on the rain-praying stage. But even so, his snake-like waist and slender figure, coupled with a face that was charming enough to make everyone feel like an immortal descending to earth to perform a beautiful dance.

He stretched out his arms to the sky and continued to shout:

"Follow the will of heaven and support the righteous path!"

In the dark sky, a bright purple lightning flashed suddenly, and then the sound of thunder surged in the clouds. Someone suddenly pointed to the sky, "Look, that black cloud looks like a dragon!"

Everyone looked up and saw that the flashing cloud sky above their heads really looked like a majestic dragon. The purple lightning was like the dragon's eyes releasing its divine power, and the thunder was like the roar of a dragon, which made the people feel fear and admiration.

"I respectfully pray for His Majesty's approval, and I hope you will enjoy it!"

As the words fell, cold rain suddenly fell!

Suddenly, someone among the people screamed, "Master! Master has turned red!"

The people came back to their senses from the dragon cloud and were shocked to find that the immortal, who was originally dressed in orange and yellow robes, was suddenly covered in large patches of red, as if blood was blooming all over the body. It was very strange!

"The catastrophe has come! The catastrophe has come——!"

The Immortal Sage Fish, who was covered in blood, had a sad face and shouted heartbreakingly, "The dragon of the earth is turning over! The people will be doomed--!"

Then, as if stimulated by something, he fell to the ground and fainted!

Taoist Priest Hu and the female servants all ran to the rain-praying platform, quickly lifted the Immortal Xianyu onto a stretcher, and then stuffed him into the carriage that had been prepared long ago, for fear that the Immortal Xianyu would catch a cold after being in the rain for too long.

Seeing this, the people also panicked.

Is the catastrophe coming? Is the earth dragon rising? Is the world doomed?

Could it be that what the court said was true? Was an earthquake really going to happen in Pingcheng?

The power of the immortal leader Xianyu was obvious to all. For a moment, everyone who heard the news was terrified. The people in the city were in a panic. Many gentry and business tycoons flocked to the immortal residence, wanting to know whether this earth dragon's reversal would really happen, how long it would last, and how far it would turn.

What disappointed them was that they all got positive answers from Xianju.

"There must be an expert in the court."

Taoist Priest Hu stroked his beard and said to these prestigious people in a pretentious manner, "You actually predicted the earth dragon's reversal before our immortal. This is really a blessing for Jian'an."

"The Immortal Master will be leaving Pingcheng soon. You should all follow the court's arrangements and move as soon as possible."

After saying this, he stopped talking and drove out these anxious gentry and businessmen who wanted to ask more questions.

The gentry and business tycoons were extremely anxious. They valued their lives the most and were reluctant to die in the earthquake.

After a few days of restlessness, the business tycoons decided to move to the north as soon as possible and establish a business there early so that they could seize the opportunity to receive the people who migrated there.

As for the gentry, they were very hesitant. They had a lot of valuable land and real estate, and they made profits from them. If they left, it would mean giving up these properties. How could they not feel bad?

But soon, they figured it out.

After the earthquake, they will definitely come back.

It's just a temporary loss.

The gentry who had thought it through were also ready to leave the city and set out first according to the migration route given by the court.

This made the ordinary people who were reluctant to give up their land and houses even more panicked.

All the rich people have run away!

That shows that this is definitely true!

The common people had not received any school education, but they were not lacking in life experience. The fact that a country squire gave up the fields and properties he had occupied for many years and ran away showed the seriousness of the problem. The fact that so many shop owners ran away collectively showed that the situation had developed to an extremely tense point.

The most important thing is——

The leader of the Xianyu sect has also run away!

He said he would go to the relocation site and wait for them!

For one thousand taels, guys, charge!
