I am a fairy

Chapter 24: Divine Witch
Jia Gui was the magistrate of Xihe County of the imperial court, but Xihe County was just a small area at the foot of the mountain and outside Yunbi Mountain.

There are hundreds of large and small villages deep in the Yunbi Mountains. These people have formed their own system since ancient times and have never been subject to the constraints of the imperial court, nor have they paid tribute to the imperial court. They nominally belong to the imperial court, but the mountain people have never recognized it.

What these mountain people believe in, and what they rely on to rule them.

It's a witch.

"It's troublesome!"

As soon as Jia Gui knew the origins of these people, he felt that the situation was very difficult. If he did not handle it properly, there would be a big mess in an instant.

At the same time, Jia Gui also discovered a problem.

Yun Zhongjun’s wizard?

This is not the name of a single god or witch, but a title with a name and a surname that points directly to the core.

It's not some other god, it's just the divine wizard belonging to Yun Zhongjun.

And this also made Jia Gui feel something.

After all this time, perhaps the gods he met had nothing to do with Yun Zhendao at all. He wanted to find a group of "professionals" to help him welcome the gods, but he ended up burning the wrong incense and worshipping the wrong temple door.

Jia Gui turned his head and looked at the Taoists of Yunzhen Dao.

The other party never mentioned this situation to him at the beginning.

"Stop, everyone stop."

Jia Gui stopped the welcoming ceremony and walked down the mountain. He wanted to meet the witch.

Jia Gui hurried to the foot of the mountain. The shaman did not get off the chariot. The person who greeted and talked to Jia Gui was a sacrificial shaman.

Jia Gui knew the answer but still asked: "You all came here for something. As the magistrate of Xihe County sent by the imperial court, you can speak to me directly."

The priest stood in front of the divine chariot and bowed slightly. "Mr. Jia, the Cloud Wall is a sacred object that my clan has worshipped and sacrificed to for generations. Lord Yunzhong is also the Lord God that we worship. We came here today to worship the sacred object of our clan and sacrifice to the Lord God at the same time."

Then the priest raised his head and looked first at the halfway point of the mountain, then at Jia Gui, with some anger in his eyes.

"I just don't know what County Master Jia is doing?"

"You are also someone who has had the honor of seeing the gods. How can you bring a bunch of filthy people to make a noise in front of the cloud wall and disturb the peace of the gods?"

Jia Gui was embarrassed where he was. He was not afraid of the mountain people, the witches and the so-called shamans. After all, he represented the imperial court.

He was just worried that he seemed to have done something wrong and whether this would cause displeasure from the gods.

Thinking that he originally wanted to show off in front of the gods, but ended up exposing his butt, Jia Gui felt more and more embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

"This……"

At this time, Taoist Danhe of Yun Zhendao also chased after him.

The Yin-Yang Taoist priest had just entered the bamboo forest with the divine chariot and was about to reach the cloud wall. At this time, the ceremony of welcoming the gods was stopped by Jia Gui. How could the Taoist priests of Yun Zhendao not be anxious?

"County Lord!"

"Why did you suddenly stop? We can't stop now!"

Taoist Danhe was extremely anxious and came up to Jia Gui and said.

"This is the time that the Taoist master personally made the divination. If we miss the time, there will be big problems."

When Jia Gui heard Taoist Danhe say this, he felt somewhat dissatisfied, but he did not say it out loud.

At this time, the priest under the divine chariot stepped forward and shouted angrily at Taoist Danhe.

"Welcoming the gods?"

"Where did you come from? You can't even sing the right song to welcome the gods. You don't even have a sacrificial dance shaman. The offerings and sacrifices don't even match up."

"The welcoming ceremony must be held in the quiet night, at the moment when the moonlight appears. How can it be held at this time?"

"Are you seeking death by offering sacrifice to the gods without knowing anything like this?"

"Where did you find this method of offering sacrifices to the gods? How dare you do evil in front of the Lord God? Aren't you afraid that Yun Zhongjun will send down thunderbolts to kill you?"

This happened in front of Jia Gui. If it weren't for the county magistrate from the imperial court and the person who had seen the gods, the witch would probably have given an order to let the mountain people and Yun Zhendao fight to the death.

Taoist Danhe hesitated and could not answer.

Of course he couldn't say that the three of them, fellow disciples, had pieced together this ritual after searching through the scriptures for a long time.

Jia Gui didn't understand the situation before, and didn't have a deep understanding of witches and Taoism, but after seeing the appearance of Taoist Danhe, he now understood a little.

"Sure enough, this isn't your fairy!"

After all the fuss, it turns out that the other person is the real owner. Jia Gui's attitude immediately changed subtly, and he was a little angry, but for a moment Jia Gui couldn't completely tell who could welcome the real god.

Yun Zhendao may not be able to do it, but can these mountain shamans from the depths of Yunbi Mountain do it?
He had already made a mistake once, embarrassed himself in front of the gods, and he couldn't bear it again.

"Then we will hold the ceremony to welcome the gods at night when the moon rises."

"Whoever can get a response from the gods will be in charge of welcoming the gods into the human world, and will also be in charge of Yunzhongjun's shrine from now on."

Jia Gui waved his hand and turned to leave.

The priest stared at the Danhe Taoist priest. Although the Danhe Taoist priest felt a little guilty, he still stood proudly, determined to lose the battle.

Although the dispute has been temporarily settled, everything is not over yet.
-
Jiang Chao stood in front of a cave on the mountain, looking through the forest to the foot of the mountain. This place was just right for seeing the various changes at the foot of the mountain.

Occasionally, birds would fly out from the woods below, making clear chirping sounds.

Wangshu: “It’s started.”

The radio pressed to my ear brought sounds from the mountains below, sometimes near and sometimes far away.

At first, I couldn't find the main point. Occasionally there were the sounds of gongs and drums, occasionally shouts in strange accents, and occasionally the shouting of onlookers and the sounds of children chasing each other.

But in the end, it stopped beside the mountain shaman, the county magistrate and the Taoist Yun Zhen at the foot of the mountain, and conveyed the words of the three parties to Jiang Chao's ears.

Wangshu: "They seem to be fighting over you."

There was a hint of laughter in Wangshu's voice, and it was unclear whether he was teasing Jiang Chao or laughing at the three people at the foot of the mountain.

Jiang Chao: "They are fighting for Yun Zhongjun."

Wangshu: "You are Yunzhongjun now. Anyway, there is no real Yunzhongjun in this world."

Jiang Chao: "Tell me, what would happen if they knew that I'm not the real Yun Zhongjun?"

Wangshu: "It's nothing."

Jiang Chao looked at the radio, as if he was looking at Wangshu on the other end.

"why?"

At this time, the radio gave an answer.

"Because they don't care who Yun Zhongjun is, as long as you can give them what Yun Zhongjun can give them, or even more."

"In their eyes, you are the unshakable Lord of the Clouds."

Jiang Chao was stunned for a moment and said.

"You seem to understand people better and better."

"However, you are only talking about a part of the people. People are different, and human hearts are not that simple either. They are the most complicated thing in this world."

Jiang Chao had not expected that such a strange thing would happen halfway through the lively and lively Lichun Festival celebration and welcoming ceremony.

He came to watch the fun, but it ended up making it even more fun.

However, the villagers at the foot of the mountain were watching the fun without any hesitation. When they heard that the mountain people's shamans and the Yunzhen Dao's feathered priests were arguing with each other, they became even happier and more excited.

Even after hearing about the dispute, more people rushed over here.

The huge crowd at the foot of the mountain not only did not disperse, but instead grew larger, and each of them found a seat to watch the show.

Even if you can't go up the mountain, let alone see with your own eyes how the gods are welcomed, you can't even hear a sound.

But everyone still flocked to it, even if it was just to witness the excitement from afar. There had never been such a lively event in the county or the countryside, and many people in the countryside had never seen such a scene in their entire lives.

"Is there going to be a fight?"

"A fight started?"

"Is anyone dead?"

"How many died?"

"It's not a battle of wits, and there was no fighting. It's about seeing who can invite the gods down."

"We really need to invite the gods down, this is incredible!"

The villagers and farmers were running around occupying the high places, young scholars were sitting in groups of three or five under the trees chatting about the past and present, and there were also those who brought their families in ox carts and stopped by the roadside, hoping to get some of the immortal's aura.

Everyone was excited and waiting for the night to fall.
