While everyone was doing the ritual (the onlookers were still in the state of onlookers…otherwise, they wouldn't be called onlookers), they suddenly heard the barking of dogs from the horizon. The sound was very soft at first, but it grew louder and louder.
The onlookers who did not know the truth looked at each other, not knowing what had happened. The members of the " construction band " who were playing various instruments also put down their weapons and looked at each other, hoping to get some information from their faces about what was going on. Obviously, they were disappointed. What they saw on other people's faces was actually the same as what they saw on their own faces. It was an expression called " blank."
The confused onlookers continued to be confused. Even the members of the construction band were confused. However, those Taoist priests and monks were really worthy of praise. How should he put it? Even in this situation, they still did not put down the wooden fish or copper bell in their hands. Those who chanted incantations continued to chant incantations, and those who threw beans continued to throw beans. Although they were also a little surprised, how could they hear such a clear barking in such a noisy environment? In fact, the noise around them had become the background of the barking dogs. It was a background that could not cause any interference. Although the barking dogs were soft, they could hear it clearly. Although the noise around them was loud, it could not interfere with the barking dogs at all.
The sky slowly darkened, and the onlookers realized that…the sky had suddenly darkened. It was different from an eclipse. During an eclipse, the sky would slowly darken. This time, it darkened all of a sudden. It took less than ten seconds for it to darken. It was obviously not an eclipse.
The Heavenly Hound ate the Sun…everyone thought so. This included those dedicated Taoist priests and monks. When their eyes were completely blind, they were no longer professional.
A golden halo appeared in the middle of the sky. The halo was not as dazzling as the sun, nor was it as gentle as the moon. This golden halo was much bigger than the sun or the moon. It looked like a huge golden basin.
A young Divine General in golden armor walked out of the golden halo. This divine general wore a hat of three mountains and a red cloak, golden armor, and cloud boots. He held a three-pointed double-edged saber in his right hand and a crescent-shaped slingshot on his left waist. She had delicate features and a pair of vertical eyes on her forehead. She was accompanied by a thin black dog, and on her shoulder stood a fierce eagle with golden eyes. Who else could it be but Erlang Immortal Master?
Under the pressure of God Erlang, the crowd of onlookers, including the construction band members, the Taoist priests, and the monks…all submitted. Kneeling under the Erlang Deity, regardless of whether they had ever worshipped the Erlang Deity before, regardless of whether they believed in the deities or not, even if they were believers, they still knelt down this time.
"Why are they all kneeling? Could it be that Erlang Shen had really come? Do we have to kneel down too?" Hou Ning asked Shen Xianlai fearfully.
Hou Feifei sighed," God Erlang is indeed awe-inspiring.”
"This isn't the real Erlang Shen at all, it's just a spirit realm I set up.”Shen Xianlai laughed.
"This is only the Spirit Realm?" Hou Feifei said in disbelief," Even I'm afraid. My legs are shaking. Even when I met King Chujiang, I didn't feel so scared…I can't…I can't hold on anymore…"
Finally, even Hou Feifei knelt down. He lowered his head, not daring to raise it. His forehead almost touched the moss-covered wet floor.
"Hou Fei Fei, you really live up to your name!”Shen Xianlai was speechless.
This was the Spirit Realm that Shen Xianlai had set up, and it was already considered a huge expenditure…This was a huge hypnosis technique that was used on thousands of people. Everything was fake. She was just hypnotized.
It was true that those people knelt down, but their motive was because they were bewitched by Shen Xianlai's hypnosis. Otherwise, even if the real Erlang God appeared in front of them, with these people's temper, they would probably look at him as if he was a precious animal in the zoo. That would not be good. Nowadays, people's fear of the unknown was getting weaker and weaker. The dangerous modern world had already made many people nervous.
"I heard that you want to tear down my temple?" God Erlang, who was in the sky, said angrily.
His voice wasn't loud, but those who heard it were shocked as if they had been hit in the heart by a hammer. This was truly a wondrous thing.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare." Everyone said in unison.
It was only right for the contractor to say that he did not dare. It was understandable for the members of the construction band to say " I don't dare ". It was also understandable for Taoist priests and monks to say " I don't dare ". But the problem now was that even those unrelated people who didn't know the truth actually said " I don't dare, I don't dare "…What did tearing down this temple have to do with them? They were not members of the demolition team.
"Actually, this temple of mine is so dilapidated that it was really torn down.”Erlang Shen suddenly said.
The people kneeling below were stunned…
In Erlang Temple, the two monkeys were also stunned. "Tear it down? Where are we going to live if it's torn down? Sleep on the streets? Wouldn't that make you a lonely ghost?"
"Aren't we just wandering ghosts now?”Shen Xianlai shook his head and said," This temple is so dilapidated. It must have been repaired. Besides, if the old didn't go, the new wouldn't come. If we can get them to repair our temple, it will definitely attract a lot of incense. Only with incense offerings can we not become lonely ghosts. Don't you think so?"
"Barely." The two of them actually didn't care about incense offerings, nor did they care about being lonely ghosts. It was enough for them to have a safe place to stay. There was really no need to ask for too much for other things.
Outside the Erlang Temple, the contractor asked after a long time," Master Erlang, do you mean that we can demolish your temple? If you have any conditions, just tell us. We will try our best to satisfy you.”
The contractor's words were spread through Shen Xianlai's hypnosis, and everyone present heard it.
"Bullshit!" Erlang Shen suddenly cursed without any regard for his image. Then, he seemed to realize what he had done wrong. He coughed twice and continued," Forget it. I won't lower myself to the level of a shallow commoner like you. It's too demeaning."
Only then did people realize that when immortals were really angry, they would also curse like ordinary people. At least, that was the case for Erlang Shen.
Erlang Shen continued," If someone came to demolish your house, would you agree? You don't like your home being torn down by others. As a famous immortal, I don't want my home to be torn down by others either. Therefore, I will not allow you to tear down my temple. Those who participate in the forced demolition will be cursed by me forever!”
