After everyone stepped into the temple, the old man stood up and limped to the side.

In fact, he really doesn't know what to do as a priest.

He is a fortune teller. Although he is considered a Taoist priest, Taoist priests and temple wishes are two different things.

A Taoist priest has the duties of a Taoist priest, but to be honest, Miaozhu is just a part-time worker who is in charge of incense. In fact, anyone can be a Taoist priest.

But in the eyes of the uninformed, they are all godly people along the way anyway, and it is better to "knowledge" to do temple blessings, which is more effective.

And the uncle couldn't shirk it, and he could get an extra income by doing temple blessings, so he reluctantly agreed.

So, when he arrived here, he directly regarded this place as his previous Taoist temple.

Sweep the floor and recite scriptures.

But his appearance is even more unpredictable in the eyes of the ignorant villagers.

After he got up, he came to a small table next to him. On this table, there was a pair of listing cards and a piece of something like a marriage lottery hanging on the back.

This is what he eats.

There is a fortune teller in the temple, is that reasonable?

It makes sense.

Fortune-telling is also a temple wish, is this reasonable?

This is also very reasonable.

As for this is a locust temple, not a Guanyin temple, is anyone concerned about this?

no~

The people here are like that.

Afraid of locust plagues, the temple was built in three days;

Afraid that the statues will be broken, each one condemned like a child under the seat of a god;

For the sake of peace, everyone burns incense and prays to gods, just to bless their own peace;

But they seem to be worshiping the gods, but they also undisguisedly reveal human selfishness to the gods, and pray to the gods without hesitation for their desires and greed.

Just as they know that the gods are false, some of their inappropriate wishes will be stated in prayer.

God knows this, I know you don't know it, so it's safe.

Although temple blessings were invited, it was obvious that they should pray that the disaster would not invade, but there was a hanging stall next to it, which happened to be considered a marriage.

It seems to be godly, but there is no god in mind.

Some of them may be really pious, but these people cannot separate themselves. Once they stand with them, whether their piety is firm or not is also a question mark.

There are not many steps to invite gods into the temple.

That is, after placing the statue on the high seat, the temple congratulators began to sing congratulatory speeches.

Fang Yu listened to the grandpa reading a long paragraph of Taoism in a serious manner, but he didn't forget the words, which made the whole ceremony full of sense, and even he felt that something mysterious and mysterious was wandering in the temple.

Of course, this is just an illusion created by the environment.

After reading the congratulatory message, it's time for the message.

At this time, the village head stood up.

At this time, the outside of the temple was densely packed with people.

After the village chief came out, he began to read his message aloud to the locust god who was seated.

The so-called confession is actually a letter to the gods.

The letter is full of which village we are, how many people there are, how many acres of land we have, what the current situation is like, the situation is urgent, and we ask the God of Locust to bless us.

Anyway, Fang Yu, who was in a hurry, listened to it over and over again, followed by the village chief who finally threw the notice into the brazier and burned it to tell the gods, then bowed down and knelt down again.

Crashing, everyone inside and outside the temple knelt together.

Fang Yu is no exception.

But after he knelt down, he found that no matter how dazed and deserted the people behind were, when kneeling now, everyone is actually very sincere!

After three prostrations, the temple was eerily quiet, only the sound of prostration.

After kneeling down and standing up again, everyone's faces were still solemn.

But in Fang Yu's feeling, these villagers seemed to take this ceremony seriously.

It seems to be saying, I kneel down, I bow, and my prayer is considered to be told to you.

Then, next, you have to answer my prayer.

This feeling is very obvious, and Fang Yu's spiritual cultivation can directly perceive this situation.

He had a hunch that if there was no locust plague in Taguchi Village, then perhaps many of these people present would become faithful believers and enshrine the locust god as a god.

But once a plague of locusts comes, I am afraid that these people will instantly think that the gods have not responded to their prayers. At that time, these people will not be afraid of any gods under extreme emotions, and rush to the locust temple That's all possible.

This feeling made Fang Yu feel inexplicably terrible.

Although the so-called ignorant policy in ancient times did prevent the people at the bottom from learning too much, and could not shake the status of the high-level people.

But no matter how foolish they are, at most they lack knowledge, but their thinking still exists. The lack of knowledge makes their thinking more direct and explosive.

The so-called blood splattered ten steps when a man was angry.

Here, if someone says he wants to kill your whole family, it is very likely that he will kill your whole family.

Everyone here is pretty.

Why is the status of the businessman so low here? Because in business, whoever is smart will make money, and those who lose money will think that the money maker is cheating him, so the businessman will not be trustworthy.

Not talking about credit is the most despised in this era.

Over time, businessmen have become synonymous with fraud. In addition, businessmen are profit-seeking, and the poor and rich are naturally opposed, so they despise business.

But because of this, once a businessman accepts his identity, their resistance to cheating and extortion will be very low. After all, this is what the world says, and he has to accept it if he doesn't accept it.

The more money he makes, the less psychological burden he has.

After inviting the gods, the next step is for everyone to burn incense.

It was obviously night, but there was still a constant stream of people in the temple. The fortune-teller next to him had already begun to nod his head, and there were still people coming in.

There is no way, although it is night, but this is the time for anyone to ask the gods. For them, it has come, and it is not safe to go back to sleep at night without burning incense.

After all the people had finished burning, the incense burner was already filled with incense, and each one was unfolded like a ball.

After the uncle closed the temple gate, the whole Taguchi Village fell into silence again.

The sound of insects and frogs in the field slowly sounded, and everything returned to the calm of the past.

In the next few days, it seemed that the locust temple really worked.

The information about the locust plague in the next county will be settled, and everything seems to be calm. The temple of locusts was full of incense at the beginning, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going every day.

But gradually, no one went in to pay homage.

Only about a week has passed, and those who go to Miaoli later will basically go to the temple for fortune-telling, and burn incense sticks by the way to bless the family's well-being.

Because the land temple here is still relatively far away from Taguchi Village.

Now the villagers of Taguchi Village have a little faintly regarded this locust god as land.

But the apparent calm did not affect Fang Yu.

From the perspective of the main mission, this migratory locust is definitely coming.

During this period of time, Fang Yu didn't think of running away.

But if you think about it carefully, at the flying speed of locusts, they may run for a month, which may not be as far as they fly in a day.

And after they ran away, they had to rebuild the shelter, so the loss outweighed the gain.

Therefore, Fang Yu stayed silently.

Then chop wood and hunt every day.

With a hatchet, Fang Yu used the hatchet to sharpen some wooden spears and hunted several animals in the forest with the wooden spears.

Two rabbits, a pheasant, and even Fang Yu found a trace of a wild boar during the period. Through the trap and his force value, he successfully chopped the wild boar, which weighed about a hundred pounds, under the knife.

In the past few days, he brought these animals home in a basket, basically when the sky was dark, so no one noticed that he was hunting.

Fang Sanduo felt more at ease with so much meat stuffed into the house. He hung up all the meat and marinated it to make jerky.

Being silent, few people knew that Fang Yu's family had hidden so much food.

After so many days, Fang Sanduo thought that the locust plague might have passed, so he wanted to persuade Fang Yu not to work so hard, but Fang Yu's words made him fall into deep thought.

"Even if there is no locust plague, is it wrong for us to get more food?"

Yes, even if there is no locust plague, is it wrong to get more food?

Fang Yu's words directly woke up Fang Sanduo, who was a little drifting because of having these supplies.

Yes, they are all hungry bark eaters.

When he was eating bark, he thought that if he could survive, he would have to buy a lot of food, enough to feed them to death.

In the end, after only a few days of ease, have you forgotten these lessons?

Fang Sanduo stretched out his hand and smacked his face.

What is this food?

Not enough to eat for a year!

Enough shit!

So Fang Sanduo never mentioned stopping hunting again.

In fact, his original intention was to save Fang Yu from having to work so hard, chopping firewood and hunting.

But now I believe that only when you are tired can you have a good life. Anyway, my nephew is very strong, so it is considered as exercise.

So during the following period, Fang Sanduo was not idle, he was learning the craft from an old carpenter in the village during this period.

In fact, it is not considered learning, that is, going to chat every day, and then take a look at it.

At his age, even if he wanted to learn, the old carpenter would not accept him.

too old.

If it weren't for the hidden danger of locust plagues, he would have planned to occupy two fields a long time ago and continue to do the agricultural work that he is good at.

As time went by, Fang Yu's house was half built. In order to store firewood, a shed was put up on half of it, and this earthen house was temporarily used as a firewood house.

The plague of locusts should be imminent.

Because Fang Yu has already noticed that the forest where firewood is cut recently has lost a lot of activity, as if all the animals here have died.

Animals such as cows, chickens, ducks, and dogs in the village have also become extremely anxious and barking in the past few days.

Such a sign is very obvious, and the people in the village are not stupid. In the past two days, the locust temple, which was sparsely populated, once again ushered in the peak of incense burning.

But under such circumstances, the plague of locusts finally came...

In the room, Fang Yu was opening the map and looking at the surrounding terrain, thinking about which direction to run if something happened.

As a result, really thinking about it, suddenly he heard the sound of yelling from outside.

"Flying locusts!!! The locusts are coming!!!"

"Everyone go home! The locust plague is coming!!"

"God Locust! We have God God Locust! God God Locust, show up quickly, let your gods leave quickly!!!"

………

Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei in the room also heard the yelling, and the three ran out of the room quickly, and then they saw a scene that was enough to make their jaws drop.

Blot out the sun.

The locusts that cover the sky and the sun are in the distance, attacking Taguchi Village like a dark cloud.

"Buzz..."

The sound of millions, or even tens of millions of locusts flapping their wings together makes people feel arrhythmia.

The sound came from far to near. One second the locust was still far away in the sky, and the next second it was already close to the village!

Fang Yu and Fang Sanduo didn't have time to take a closer look. Amid the disturbing buzzing sound, they lifted the chicken coop outside, and the chickens inside were still screaming "Yo Yo Yo" .

Lifting the chicken coop into the room, Fang Yu quickly went to the firewood room next door to pick up two bundles of firewood, and immediately entered the door. As soon as the door was closed, it was as if a big snake was swimming by outside the door, and a black shadow flew across the window in an instant.

The windows used to be screens, but this kind of window was pasted with paper, and under the impact of the locusts, it was almost broken.

Fortunately, a few days ago, Fang Sanduo learned some carpentry skills. Under Fang Yu's suggestion, they covered the doors, windows and even the chimney.

Just like a window, Fang Yu and the others made another solid wood hinge window inside. After closing the two wooden boards, the entire window was blocked.

The locusts outside kept hitting the wooden boards, leaving behind a sound like a woodpecker pecking wood.

There were too many locusts, and at the moment they rushed over, all the light outside disappeared in an instant.

After the room fell into darkness for several minutes, it gradually returned to light again.

At this time, locusts were already flying in the room, and they had a very unpleasant and pungent smell!

"ah!!"

Although the peasants of this era, both men and women, are much more able to withstand flying insects and beasts than modern people.

But this scene of a room full of big grasshoppers flying around is still very exciting.

Not to mention Huang Mei, even Fang Sanduo was a little stressed at this time.

It's like when a northerner came to the south for the first time, he met the enthusiastic cockroach, also known as the southern cockroach.

Fang Sanduo rushed into the kitchen, picked up the wooden pot lid, and shot a fatal burst at the flying locusts.

Huangmei next to her also used her sackcloth to slap the migratory locusts in the room.

But the locusts in the room took more and more pictures.

Fang Yu's eyes are the sharpest, and his movements are also more vigorous.

Instead of using a hatchet, a weapon that is easy to accidentally injure, he grabbed a chopstick and smashed it at the locusts flying in the air.

And those locusts and this chopstick are often split into two as soon as they touch it, as if the chopstick is like a knife.

Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei who were next to him failed to notice this.

In Fang Yu's eyes, a layer of invisible qi had already popped out from the edge of the chopstick at this time, and the locusts that touched the edge of the qi had all decapitated and fell to the ground without exception.

While cleaning up the locusts, Fang Yu paid attention to the doors, windows and chimney of the room.

Sure enough, the wooden hinged window that was originally closed was now knocked out by locusts, and locusts entered the room through the opening like rain.

Fang Yu hurried forward, and after using brute force to reset the hinged window, he turned back with force, and the locusts still in the crack were immediately squeezed into a pulp, and the entrance was completely blocked by Fang Yu.

I checked again, there was a corner and a hole at the threshold, and the locusts were also crawling in. Fang Yu picked a piece of firewood and poked it directly to block it.

After preventing the locusts from invading the room again, Fang Yu and Huang Mei killed the remaining flying locusts in the room one by one.

In the room, there was only a little light from the part where the doors and windows were not completely closed. This gap could not allow locusts to enter, but it could pass through the light, making the inside of the house bright.

After all the locusts were killed by the three of them, the ground was almost covered with dead locusts. Huang Mei and Fang Sanduo sat on the wooden stools, panting continuously.

The whole room was filled with a strange smell.

Panting, Fang Sanduo and Huang Mei's complexions suddenly became paler, then their throats moved, and then one bent down.
