Quick Travel: Sweet Pet Script from God

Chapter 217 I heard that you think we are weak? (13)

In Li Shaohe's narration, the six of them had a general understanding of what happened in Siquan City.

Back to three months ago, a bhikshuni wearing white monk robes knocked on the door of the county government office.

A bhikshuni who claimed to be Renjing said to the county magistrate, "God is about to punish Siquan City. By then, plague will spread everywhere and the people will be in dire straits. I hope Magistrate Li will treat it with caution."

Magistrate Li had great respect for these nuns, but when he heard her words, he felt that she was cursing the county he governed, so he gave her a meal and drove her away.

Renjing did not force it, but took a deep look at Magistrate Li before leaving and said that he would definitely regret it.

"The poor nun will stay in a small temple outside the city for the next few days. When did County Magistrate Li regret it? He can go find the poor nun outside the city."

Magistrate Li disagreed. This year the weather has been smooth and there have been no disasters. How could a plague break out?

I'm afraid some nuns with evil intentions want to scare me and ask for some incense money.

No one expected that a plague would really break out in Siquan City within a few days.

Magistrate Li never figured out why there was no major disaster but such a powerful plague broke out.

The medical clinics in the county were suddenly full, and many doctors fell down one after another.

The imperial court also sent disaster relief personnel, but without exception, they all died on duty.

Gradually, contact with the imperial court was lost, and the entire Siquan City seemed to be isolated from the world. No one from the imperial court was in charge of their life and death.

Magistrate Li had no choice but to go to a small temple outside the city to seek help from Ren Jing.

Ren Jing smiled lightly and sat in the middle of the Buddhist hall, not surprised at all by Li Xianling's arrival.

"Donor, you still came to see the poor nun."

Magistrate Li had no choice but to kneel down with a plop when he saw Ren Jing.

"But please save the people in Siquan City."

Magistrate Li kowtowed several times, and blood oozed from his forehead.

"Donor, just do as I say."

Following Renjing's instructions, Magistrate Li overcame all objections and led the remaining young adults in Siquan City to reshape a golden Buddha in this small temple.

At this time, 70% of the people in Siquan City had fallen ill, but not many people died.

And this golden Buddha is the peacock king sitting under him, holding a lotus in his four hands.

On the day when the Golden Buddha was completed, Renjing led the bhikkhunis to chant sutras in the temple for three days and three nights.

After that, the plague miraculously disappeared.

The people of Siquan City were grateful to these bhikkhunis and paid for them to renovate the temple.

The temple at the beginning was not as magnificent as it is now, but after that, Renjing held Buddhist scriptures and teachings from time to time.

During these lectures, the people of Siquan City gradually followed him as if they were possessed by a demon.

They began to stop producing and working. When it was close to noon, they gathered in the temple to listen to Ren Jing's chanting.

Until half a month ago, Renjing said that the Peacock Buddha Mother had been moved by everyone's sincerity and was about to reveal her true form.

Since then, it has become a daily gathering to pay homage to the Buddha’s mother saint.

They worshiped the Buddha Mother and Saint crazily, even Magistrate Li did the same.

Li Shaohe choked up a little after he finished speaking. He still couldn't believe that his father, who had always been upright and resolute, had become what he is now.

"Then why weren't you bewitched?" Chi Qing asked.

"I'm quite playful. I climbed a tree and broke my leg a few days after the plague broke out. My father never let me go out, so I luckily escaped." Li Shaohe said.

"I'm not interested in those obscure Buddhist scriptures, and she didn't have much influence on me. I'm too lazy to listen to their lectures."

"It took me a hundred days to break my muscles and bones. I couldn't get out of bed until half a month ago, but suddenly I found that everyone had changed."

Li Shaohe was in a very low mood. He only questioned the Peacock Buddha in the morning, but in the afternoon he was surrounded by everyone in the county government office.

Fortunately, his legs were already strong and he climbed over the wall from the county government office.

As a result, he accidentally fell to the ground, hit his head and fainted.

Fortunately, they were discovered by Chi Qing and others. If they were discovered by those who had been bewitched, one can imagine Li Shaohe's fate.

"Then do you know why there are so many empty houses in the city?" Lu Huai asked.

He had observed carefully on the road that there was an empty room almost every few houses.

"These people have not been infected with the plague before, and have not listened to the Buddha's lectures since. They do not understand people's obsession, but as long as people express doubts, they will be kidnapped by those crazy people and then sacrificed Mother Buddha.”

From Li Shaohe's narration, the six people roughly understood what happened in this city.

"We have to find a way to show the true face of the Buddha Mother." Ning Xi said.

"I probably need to go to the temple again tomorrow." Zhong Han suggested.

"Are you crazy?" Li Shaohe said in horror.

"An Xin, brother, you don't have to go. We just have to go take a look. Just have a good rest and be good." Yun Mu said to Li Shaohe as if coaxing a child.

Li Shaohe blushed and glared at Yun Mu non-threateningly, "I'm not a child anymore!"

"I'm worried about you. You just fell off the wall, so you should have a good rest." Ren Qiao said while holding back a smile.

"Okay." Li Shaohe reluctantly agreed.

"But you have to be careful, Buddha Mother's brainwashing ability is very strong."

"We know it."

Zhong Han patted Li Shaohe on the head. This young boy was very similar to his former recruit Danzi.

This shot made Li Shaohe stunned. Zhong Han's hand was really strong.

Soon night fell, and the street, which was extremely lively until dusk, became as silent as a dead city.

"Do you have a curfew at night? It's so quiet." Chi Qing just looked outside through the window of the courtyard wall. There was not even a moving cat or dog.

Li Shaohe shook his head, "No, but after the saint Buddha appeared, everyone stopped going out at night for some unknown reason."

Lu Huai thought thoughtfully and asked no one to go out at night, either because the Buddha Mother could not hide her terrifying image at night, or there would be other actions at night, or both.

"Maybe we should go out and take a look," he suggested.

Everyone else agreed. Zhong Han looked at Li Shaohe and asked, "Is it okay for you to be here alone? Do you want two people to protect you?"

"It'll be fine if I don't go out at night. I've almost figured it out in the past half month." Li Shaohe said, patting his chest.

"You must protect yourself first. We will be back in a while." Ning Xi asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, I won't force myself." Li Shaohe said, "You should be careful."

The six people nodded, took their things and went out.
