    On June 18th, the third year of Chengyuan in the Great Xia Dynasty, the Heavenly Dog swallowed the sun, and the sky was dark for a moment. Fortunately, Xiatun County was well prepared, and the officials and the people frightened away the Heavenly Dog with the sound of gongs and drums. Even so, no one felt at ease.  People gathered in the streets day and night.

    Although the Tengu was frightened away, more strange things began to come out.

    A brave man who was seeking safety on the street decided to go home and sleep at the instigation of a few idle men. However, when he walked alone to the alley in front of his house, he encountered a group of weirdos

    "Those people were about one foot tall, dressed in black, holding five-color flags and flags, and had strange faces."

    "The little man shouted, and the lantern in his hand fell down, igniting the flames, and those people disappeared into the wall."

    "The little man was found dead the next day."

    People in the teahouse screamed when they heard this, and many people shouted.

    "It's a ghost."

    "It's a seductress."

    "No." An old man with a wrinkled face shook his head and twirled his beard and said, "It's not a ghost, it's a god."

    Gods and ghosts are naturally different, and the people were overjoyed: "Old man Fang, is he really a god?"

    Old man Fang¡¯s face showed no joy but sadness: ¡°It¡¯s the God of Plague.¡±

    The gods and immortals are also different. When they heard the word plague, the people were shocked, turned pale, and started to make noises.

    No one doubts what Mr. Fang said. Mr. Fang is the oldest living scholar in the county.

    "It is recorded in the book that the God of Plague is like this." He said, then read out a string of awkward descriptions, and looked up at the sky outside. The sun in the sky had returned to its original state, but it still had a strange white halo.  It is very dazzling, "Whenever there is a major change or disaster, the god of plague will inevitably appear."

    The people in the teahouse were even more panicked: "So we are going to have a big disaster in Xiatun County!"

    Before Old Man Fang could answer this question, a louder noise came from the street, as if he had returned to that day when the Tengu first appeared.

    "Hurry and go and see, the five Taoists are catching monsters."

    "There is a demon in Dingjiazhuang."

    This was even more shocking than the rumor that the God of Plague appeared in the world. The people in the teahouse poured out in large numbers, and the bold ones joined the crowds running around on the street to tell each other about the excitement, while the timid ones fled home in panic and committed suicide.  From today onwards, I will stay behind closed doors.

    In the blink of an eye, the teahouse became empty and the tables and chairs were in a mess, but old man Fang was still sitting at the table holding a tea bowl.

    "Old man Fang, why don't you go and see it?" asked the waiter at the teahouse, who was hesitating whether to go and see it.

    Old man Fang said, "What's there to see?"

    It's a monster, but Old Man Fang must have seen it after living so long, and he doesn't think it's strange. He is still young and has never seen one before. The man put down the teapot and slipped out. When he gets old, he can use it as a conversation piece with his descendants. This kind of thing  It's not something you encounter often.

    The shopkeeper yelled several times angrily, but to no avail.

    The teahouse was empty, and the hustle and bustle on the street had gone away, making it seem like an empty city.

    The shopkeeper didn¡¯t follow, so the waiter could endure the scolding and run to watch the fun, but he didn¡¯t dare to leave the shop alone. Compared to the monster, the boss was more scary.

    "With five people here, the monsters will definitely be able to stir up trouble." He looked outside and said somewhat relaxedly.

    Wudao people are Taoist priests from Qingfeng Temple in Yunmeng Mountain outside Xiatun County. They have magical skills to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits. It is said that the county magistrate is able to prepare in advance to expel the tengu this time because of Wudao people's advice. With such an immortal, the god of plague should be able to be accommodating.  , as for monsters, they are nothing.

    There was no response to the shopkeeper's words. Old man Fang was holding the tea bowl with an expression that was not relaxed, but even more sad: "When the sky is clear and the sun is bright, there are monsters causing trouble. There are many monsters in troubled times, and the bad land is full of monsters. There is really going to be a big disaster."

    After saying that, he threw the tea bowl on the ground, covered his face, cried loudly, and stumbled away.

    The shopkeeper was startled and hesitated again and again to catch up and ask for the money for the broken tea bowl.

    The long -lived scholars are a little crazy, and don't provoke at this time.

    ??The old man is alone on the street here and laments the great disaster of the troubled times. Outside the city, Dingjiazhuang is crowded with people but silent.

    Dingjiazhuang is located at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain. In the hot summer of June, the lush crops in a flat and unobstructed field at the foot of the mountain behind the village were trampled to pieces. The field was full of people, but the farmers who loved the fields and crops did not go there.  Driven away and scolded, everyone's eyes were focused on a field in the middle.

    There is an empty field here, and there is only one person, with white eyebrows and long beard, wearing a Taoist robe, holding a peach wood sword in his hand, surrounding a leafy tree, sometimes running with angry eyes, sometimes closing his eyes and shaking, the wide Taoist robe fluttering  , suddenly an angry scolding, ?? He gestured on his face and made his eyes round, "Only the gaps between his eyes, nose and mouth were exposed."

    Just now, the woman raised the umbrella a little bit, and the old man could not see it from behind. The child was sitting on the back of the cow and was beside him, so he saw it.

    The atmosphere in Great Xia is enlightened, and women can walk as freely as men. Those wealthy women will use face coverings to block the dust and sunlight when traveling to protect their beautiful faces.

    ??This kind of wrapping of the head and face when there is no sunlight or dust is probably to protect the face, and it is a face that cannot be seen by others.

    Either because of injuries or because of being born ugly.

    There was some sympathy on the old man's face, and his eyes fell on the woman holding the umbrella who was walking away. He didn't know what she had gone through. She sounded very young, so she had to be wrapped in a cloth to cover her up. She could only do it in the middle of the night.  It's pitiful to just walk around where no one is.

    The woman didn't notice his pity, and kept walking towards the mountain that was gradually shrouded in night.

    After several sunrises and sunsets, when the sky was bright again, the two people, whose clothes were stained with mud, and the black umbrellas in their hands and the bamboo hats on their heads were covered with dust, finally stopped and looked at a city in front of them.  In the early morning sunlight, the three characters "Jianglingfu" on it are clearly visible.

    "Miss, we're here" Fang Er took off his hat and tried his best to restrain himself. His excitement was still hard to conceal. He swallowed slightly when the words reached his lips, and finally only uttered one word, ""

    This time the woman did not stop him. Although the black umbrella was lowered and not raised, it was slightly nodded.

    "We're home," she said.
