Chapter 326: The Cousin of "Fuwa" 54
"Stop!" The captain's eyes were bloodshot when he saw this scene. He shouted and rushed over with a knife.
But the strange thing was that he actually walked right through the men in black as if they didn't exist.
The team members looked at each other in bewilderment. Hu Zi said tremblingly, "Captain...Captain, are they ghosts?"
The captain looked blankly at the knife in his hand and the men in black all around him. He felt panic in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm.
At this moment, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. The original thatched house disappeared, and was replaced by a small forest in front of the guest village.
At this time, the originally bright day turned into a dark night.
But even in such darkness, they still saw the group of men in black rushing towards Ke Village with knives.
Seeing this, the captain's expression suddenly changed: "No, they want to massacre the village! They were sent by the Second Prince to massacre the village!"
"Captain, what should we do now? Didn't they say that this group of people disappeared?" The team members were in a panic. They had just seen with their own eyes the captain holding a knife and running through the group of people.
The captain gritted his teeth and said, "Go ahead, save as many people as you can, we can't let these people succeed!"
"Yes!" After listening to the captain's words, the team members encouraged themselves in their hearts, then gripped their weapons and rushed towards the men in black.
But when they approached the man in black, their bodies still passed through him as if passing through a phantom.
The captain's eyes widened, his heart filled with despair.
At this moment, the night sky, which was originally clear, was suddenly covered by dark clouds.
Dark clouds gathered quickly, soon blocking out the watery moonlight.
The next second, thick lightning quickly gathered and accurately struck the group of men in black.
What’s strange is that despite such a big commotion, not a single villager reacted or came out to check.
In an instant, bolts of lightning struck the men in black with precision, turning them into dust in an instant.
The team of people standing not far from the men in black stared at the scene with wide eyes and subconsciously lowered their heads to avoid it.
But even if these lightning strikes hit them, they are just like light and shadows. Apart from illuminating them, they do not cause any harm.
Seeing this, everyone looked at the sky in astonishment, and then shifted their attention to the place where the man in black was hit and turned into ashes.
At this time, the Buddha appeared faintly in the sky, looking at the people below with his compassionate eyes, as if with pity and admiration.
The next second, the scene changed again and they were back in the back mountain.
At this moment, the weather is clear and the sun is shining.
The sunlight shone through the leaves on their bodies, and their originally cold bodies finally felt the warmth.
"Captain...Captain, what on earth was that just now?" a team member said tremblingly.
"Are we hitting a wall?"
"That last... that last scene, was it... was it the Buddha? Did the Buddha appear?"
The captain frowned and looked serious.
"If my guess is correct, what we just saw should not have happened today, but happened before. This may be the Buddha's hint to us, telling us that the group of people who tried to strangle innocent villagers have been stopped and eliminated by him."
It is also a warning that if anyone tries to harm the village again, that will be the fate of those men in black.
He always felt that the look in the sky was full of warning.
The same lightning strike as in the palace...
So, did the Buddha destroy Chaoyang Palace, punish the second prince and warn the emperor for the sake of this village?
At this point, the captain didn't dare to think about it any further. This was simply a treasonous idea.
"Let's go, the matter has been clarified, we will return to the palace immediately to report to the emperor!"
On the other side, Gu Qian leaned leisurely against a tree, curling her lips into a smile.
After everyone left, she slowly walked out from behind the big tree.
In the illusion just now, she deliberately gave some psychological hints to the leader, and it looks like there might be some hope!
A month later, Cheng Xiaoze brought two imperial edicts and led officials from various levels of the Ministry of Works, officials from various levels of the state government, and the magistrate of Wu County to Ke Village.
In front of officials at all levels and all the villagers of Ke Village, Cheng Xiaoze read out the imperial edict.
The details of one of the imperial edicts are as follows: I have heard that the Ke Village is a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and charming scenery. It can be said to be a place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. This place is blessed by the Buddha and favored by God. It has the opportunity to connect heaven and earth and convey the Buddha's will. It is a rare auspicious sign in the world.
Therefore, I hereby grant this village the name of "Buddha Village", hoping that it can spread the Buddha's light to all directions and bless all people. I also order the Ministry of Works to quickly send craftsmen to carefully build a Buddhist temple for believers all over the world to worship devoutly and pray for good weather, peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
The second imperial edict reads: Gu Yong, a villager from Ke Village, and his wife and daughters Li Xiuqin and Gu Qian, stepped forward several times in times of crisis to save members of the royal family from dire straits. Their loyalty and bravery are admirable.
Today, Gu Yong is appointed as the sixth-rank supervisor, and is ordered to assist the imperial court officials in properly managing all matters in the Buddhist village and the Buddhist temple. Unless there are special reasons, this position can be inherited from generation to generation, regardless of gender.
His wife, Li Xiuqin, was virtuous and wise, and she understood the great principles. Therefore, she was rewarded with 100 taels of gold and 1,000 taels of silver. In addition, she was given a house, which was carefully built by the Ministry of Works in a Feng Shui treasured site in Fo Village.
As for Gu Yong's beloved daughter, Gu Qian, she was intelligent, witty, courageous, beautiful and kind-hearted, a role model for women. Therefore, she was specially named Lingqian County Lady and enjoyed the salary and treatment of a county lady.
As soon as the two imperial edicts came out, the whole Ke Village cheered. Although everyone was very confused about what Gu Yong's family had done to receive these awards, it did not hinder their excitement.
In the future, when you go out, you can say that you are from a Buddhist village. How impressive and enviable it will be!
Besides, apart from the sixth-rank official and the county lady in the village, they also have a sense of honor. In addition, with the construction of the Buddhist temple, it won’t be much of a difference for everyone to follow Gu Yong’s family in the future.
Except for Gu Qian, everyone in Gu Yong's family seemed a little overwhelmed by this sudden honor.
Although their hearts were already filled with turmoil, under the leadership of Gu Qian, they still forced themselves to remain calm and respectfully stepped forward to take the imperial edict from Cheng Xiaoze.
At this time, the village chief was in tears and kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude.
After the imperial edict was read, officials at all levels began to discuss the site selection, construction and other matters, and also brought the village chief to join the discussion.
At this time, Cheng Xiaoze brought his men to Gu Qian's home.
"When Cheng Lin told me that you are beautiful, I didn't believe it. Now it seems that I was really short-sighted." Cheng Xiaoze smiled and shook his head.
"I was wearing a mask at the time, so the prince couldn't see my face clearly, so it was natural for him not to believe me."
"When did you know my identity?" Cheng Xiaoze asked curiously.
"I said, Your Majesty, please don't punish anyone."
"So...is it really because of Cheng Lin?"
