Chapter 126 There is water
It's just that her whole body seemed to be covered with a halo, and her face couldn't be seen clearly, but it could be roughly seen that she had her eyes closed.
With her appearance, a faint fragrance filled the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"This is the goddess coming!" a citizen shouted.
"Goddess? Has the goddess come to save us?"
"Quick, go and have a look!"
In this way, more and more people were spreading the news that the goddess had arrived, and many people had already run to the river and began to kneel down and worship.
Soon, Magistrate Hu and a group of officials knew about this matter and were shocked. What was going on? Was the goddess coming? Did the plot in the storybook really happen?
Ji Yuanda said in a deep voice: "I think this is not a miracle, but a conspiracy! I have seen similar files before. In fact, it was a group of acrobatic people who were deliberately making things mysterious. Their purpose was to make the people offer sacrifices!"
Bai Lin said decisively: "No matter what it is, we have to go and take a look. We can't just let the people watch like that, right?"
Magistrate Hu nodded and said, "Let's go, take the garrison troops with us and go take a look!"
By the time they arrived at the riverside, tens of thousands of people had gathered there, most of them disaster victims.
"Look, sir!" A yamen runner pointed at the image of the goddess in the sky and said, "The goddess's face is not clear, but she has her eyes closed and has not made any movements."
At this time, the goddess was sitting on the lotus platform, holy and ethereal.
Some officials were whispering, and Ji Yuanda was a little confused, but he still expressed his doubts, although he really couldn't see any flaws.
Prefect Hu also observed for a while, shook his head and asked, "Master Bai, do you think this is a true miracle?"
Bai Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Whether it is true or not depends on the purpose. My Lord, why not wait a while!"
"Yes." Magistrate Hu nodded. Throughout history, people who pretend to be gods will always demand money and property from the people. After all, even real gods still need people to burn incense to them!
Just then, a commoner shouted, "Look, the goddess has opened her eyes!"
Everyone looked and saw that the goddess not only opened her eyes, but also slowly looked at the crowd, as if searching for something.
Bai Zhaozhao was very satisfied. Although the costumes and makeup were a bit tacky, the effect was very good and the scene was quite grand! Especially since the lights and smoke were hidden inside the lotus platform, nothing could be seen from the outside.
The only drawback is that the distance is a bit far, and it took me a long time to find Bai Lin and the others.
Finally, Bai Zhaozhao fixed his eyes on Magistrate Hu and his group, then turned on the loudspeaker and voice changer: "Who are you?"
Tens of thousands of people were stunned. The goddess actually spoke!
As a result, everyone's eyes were focused on the officials. Prefect Hu had no choice but to step forward and bowed, saying, "I am Hu Youzhi, the prefect of Yuzhou Prefecture. May I ask who I am, Your Excellency?"
Good boy! This is not a good trick!
Bai Zhaozhao suddenly felt pressured for a moment, and she slowly said: "My true body is the Milky Way Goddess outside the Nine Heavens. What you see now is just a wisp of my divine thought."
Ji Yuanda also stepped forward and asked with a puzzled look, "I wonder what this... Divine Mind has to teach you by appearing here?"
Bai Zhaozhao said slowly, "I was inspired by the power of Wenqu Starlight and traveled here. I later discovered that this place was full of resentment and there were countless wronged souls, so I showed up!"
The people all sighed, "The power of Wenqu Starlight? Isn't this referring to the two top scholars? Then what are these grudges and wronged souls referring to?"
Then, Bai Zhaozhao asked again: "Prefect Hu, do you admit your guilt?"
Magistrate Hu was stunned. He knew what the goddess was referring to, but... was he guilty?
If he admitted his guilt, how could he maintain his prestige in the hearts of the people?
Bai Lin took a step forward and asked loudly, "Now that the goddess has appeared, why don't we resolve the resentment of the wronged soul first, and then pursue the responsibility?"
Magistrate Hu understood instantly. No matter what, let’s first see what the purpose of this goddess is!
As expected, Bai Zhaozhao knew that Bai Lin was the hardest person to fool! He had wanted to ask Magistrate Hu to talk about the child sacrifice and then clarify the matter, but this pretentious script was aborted by Bai Lin's words.
What a...good brother!
I will definitely let you experience what it means to be a real pit bull!
So Bai Zhaozhao could only continue, "The matter of resentment is not under my control, but I can grant river water to alleviate the drought here. I hope the people will accumulate merits and resolve the resentment!"
People:!!!
Shocked! What did the goddess say?
Send down river water! Alleviate the drought!
Isn’t this a great favor from heaven?
In fact, the people had thought about the gods coming down and giving them rain. Even the first group of devout people who bowed down prayed silently in their hearts. It was just that such a thing was too much to hope for. After all, every temple in Yuzhou City was crowded with victims, and no gods had appeared.
Magistrate Hu asked with trembling hands, "You said you want to give us river water?"
Bai Zhaozhao did not answer. She used a lot of mental energy to cover the river water in the space. She just waved her hand, and a large amount of water appeared in the river channel, but soon flowed in the north-south direction.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Zhaozhao waved his hand again, and more and more river water appeared in the river channel.
The people just stared in amazement as the water level in the river slowly rose until it stopped after a quarter of an hour. The water level in the river also rose to the level of previous years.
Bai Zhaozhao burst into tears, she was so tired!
"Long live the goddess!" Someone shouted this, and the stunned people finally reacted and started cheering.
"Hail the Goddess! We have water!"
"Oh my God! Our fields are saved!"
"There's water! There's water! I want to go back home and farm!"
Only Prefect Hu and his group were confused. County Magistrate Zheng, who happened to be in the city to collect food, jumped up and shouted, "This is really a goddess! It's real! If anyone dares to say this is fake, I will fight him to the death!"
Ji Yuanda: ...
Bai Lin: ...
Prefect Hu hurried forward and bowed, saying, "Thank you for the blessing, goddess! May I ask what kind of offering do you require?"
Bai Zhaozhao's eyes lit up. It turned out that Lord Hu was really good at adding drama.
She calmed herself down and said, "I am different from other gods who like to eat fruits and vegetables. I have already achieved the status of a supreme god. I do not need offerings or sacrifices!"
This time Bai Lin finally took over the role, and he took the opportunity to ask: "May I ask the goddess, are there any gods in the world who like to use children as sacrifices?"
Finally you got to the point, brother!
Bai Zhaozhao pretended to be angry: "Sacrificing children? Nonsense! If there is such a god, I will cut off his bones and destroy his soul! Could it be that the wronged souls here come from this? Governor Hu, you still don't know your crime?"
"Goddess, please calm down!" Seeing the goddess getting angry, tens of thousands of people knelt down in fear and trepidation, fearing that the river water would be taken back by the goddess.
Prefect Hu hurriedly said, "I am guilty! Goddess, please forgive me. This custom here... no, this evil custom has been around for a long time. I have been trying my best to stop it since I took office. I have not really sacrificed children in the past few years. In the future, I will follow the Goddess's wishes and will never let such a disaster happen again!"
