Shanxia County is located at the foot of Anle Mountain. It was originally called Shanxia County, but was later changed to Shanxia County.

This is a small marginal county in Anle County. It was originally inconspicuous, but since the disaster last autumn, it has become particularly prominent because it is the county with the least disaster in Anle County.

Shanxia County is close to the large mountain range of Anle Mountain, and the drought is relatively mild. More importantly, there has not even been a locust plague here.

An overwhelming swarm of migratory locusts swept across the country and gnawed away the land in Lingzhou, but Shanxia County was spared.

Everyone said that Shanxia County was protected by gods, so the locusts did not dare to fall. The people of Shanxia County were even more confident.

Kong Chenzi followed the traces of the locust swarms along the way and gradually arrived in Shanxia County, where he discovered something unusual.

In the distance, the undulating mountains of Nuoda stretch endlessly, with peaks rising faintly into the clouds, and haze lingering in the air.

"What a spiritual mountain blessed place."

The Taoist rode his donkey and looked over, sighing that this mountain was no worse than Laoshan. No wonder it was so famous in Zhou Dynasty that even the entire Anle County was named after it.

The Taoist suddenly felt that this was a good way to promote his fame. When he went back in the future, maybe he should change Lao Mountain to Kongchen Mountain?

The state on the left of Kongchen Mountain is called Kongzhou, and the state on the right is called Chenzhou.

Erect a few more stone tablets to celebrate the origin and legend of this name.

From now on, no matter who hears the names of these two states, they will be able to think of the good name of Lord Kongchen.

Kong Chenzi had a flash of inspiration, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that this idea was perfect.

Sure enough, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.

Walking further into Shanxia County, every village in the county is full of people, and there are various crops in the fields at the foot of the mountain. Indeed, as the rumors said, the disaster in Shanxia County was relatively mild.

But as soon as the Taoist approached the village, he saw someone shouting on a tower made of bamboo at the entrance of the village.

"Go, go, go! There is no food for charity in our village, go somewhere else!"

This man also held a gong in his hand. If the Taoist dared to approach again, he would ring it.

The Taoist was so frustrated that he could only take a detour.

Checkpoints have been set up in each village to block the entrances to prevent anyone from breaking into the village.

As soon as there was any disturbance, he saw the villagers armed with hoes, and Jianzhu rushed out, thinking that the Taoist was a spy sent by the rogue bandits to inquire about the situation.

We can only go all the way towards the county seat.

The county town was not much better, with three city gates tightly closed and the other gate heavily guarded for strict interrogation.

However, far away from the city wall, the Taoist heard the sound of gongs and drums inside the city, as well as the thick smoke of fireworks, as if some grand sacrificial ceremony was going on.

In a deserted place, General Donkey jumped up, jumped over the city wall, and fell towards the city.

Today is different from the past. The entire Shanxia County is filled with a strong sacrificial atmosphere. Every household in the streets holds incense burners and waits at the door, as if to welcome the gods passing by.

When the Taoist led the donkey out of the alley, he happened to see a wooden platform that occupied most of the width of the street rolled out from the far side of the avenue.

There are wheels under the wooden platform, and dozens of big men with bare arms and red belts on both sides push the wooden platform forward.

On the stage is a giant locust with grass roots, which looks vivid, and there is a row of incense sticks in front of it, which is filled with smoke.

It is more than ten meters high. This height and size, coupled with the scent of incense and the pious atmosphere of worship, actually make the originally somewhat funny posture of the grass-rooted locust become taller and taller, with a somewhat divine posture.

.

"What is this? What are these people doing?" The donkey sitting down suddenly asked in surprise. He had seen people worshiping gods and monsters, but he had never seen anyone worshiping locusts.

A citizen of Shanxia County next to him did not know that it was the donkey who had spoken. He thought it was the Taoist next to him who was asking, so he immediately turned his head and looked at the Taoist.

He looked at the Taoist carefully and saw that the Taoist looked kind and didn't look like a bad person, so he said, "Are you a Taoist from outside? This is the third time this month that our Shanxia County is worshiping the Locust God.

Already."

The Taoist also spoke: "It is this locust plague that has caused so many people in Lingzhou to flee and starve to death thousands of miles away. Why do we still worship them?"

The people of Shanxia County immediately looked solemn and became pious: "It was precisely because they did not worship the locust god that they suffered the disaster."

"And because we in Shanxia County worship the Locust God, the Locust God did not bring disaster to our Shanxia County."

The people of Shanxia County are very certain. It seems that this story has been told by many people and is believed by the entire Shanxia County.

The Taoist couldn't help but look at the big man pushing the statue of the Locust God. The news should have been spread by these people. The secret of why the locusts were able to avoid causing disaster in Shanxia County should also lie with these people.

As the Locust God's Dharma came closer and closer, people at both ends of the street knelt down, held incense burners in their hands, and shouted in unison.

"Locust God bless you!"

"Locust God bless you!"

In an instant, everyone on both sides of the street held up their hands to welcome the Locust God as he passed by.

Until the other end of the street, in front of a altar that had been built long ago, there were sacrifices and livestock on display.

The county magistrates of Shanxia County were also waiting here to greet the Locust God. Then they read a letter praying to God and the Locust God.

"Zha Yin, the magistrate of Shanxia County, sent a letter to heaven and to the locust god."

"..."

"I pray that Shanxia County will be blessed with peace and tranquility so that we can spend the disaster years peacefully."

Immediately, the entire Shanxia County people chanted together.

"I pray that Shanxia County will be blessed with peace and tranquility so that we can spend the disaster years peacefully."

"Pray for peace and tranquility in Shanxia County..."

At this time, a tall and powerful man in gray clothes walked out of the altar with powerful short hair. He took the document from the Shanxia County magistrate and began the entire ceremony of worshiping the Locust God.

"Huh?"

The Taoist suddenly felt that the aura on this man's body was somewhat similar to that of the Wutong master he had seen before. Either they were from the same martial arts sect, or they were related in some way.

At this moment, a sound suddenly came from far in the sky. The thin sound caused by the vibration of millions of wings only represented one.

The locust swarms are coming.

The entire Shanxia County residents panicked. They stood up one by one and looked into the distance, their faces full of panic.

At this time, the shirtless big men with red scarves tied around their waists raised the Locust God's Dharma Chariot and all stepped forward.

"Locust God bless you!"

"No disaster, no disaster!"

With a loud shout, the migratory locusts that had been swooping down towards Shanxia County were frightened and fled high into the sky.

It actually flew over Shanxia County without falling.

"Locust God bless you, it's really the Locust God who bless you." This miracle that was truly shown before his eyes inspired the man next to him to kneel on the ground and kowtow repeatedly.

"Locust God bless you!"

"No disaster, no disaster!"

The entire Shanxia County residents seemed to have been given a shot of blood, shouting and shouting crazily.

However, the Taoist saw clearly that the real reason was not the strong men carrying the Locust God's Dharma Chariot.

It was the man in gray standing on the altar.

The sound of migratory locusts had just sounded. He sensed it from a long distance away, and quickly held out a black jar with both hands.
