Chapter 77 Food disappears out of thin air
Just as Lin Beihe was thinking about it, an official came forward to report.
"Report to Your Majesty."
"Recently, an unbelievable and strange thing happened in the northern region of our country. According to local officials, all the edible food in people's homes disappeared overnight."
"Is it only the food that disappears in ordinary people's homes? What about the homes of local officials?"
Lin Beihe asked with a frown.
Upon hearing this question, the minister was startled for a moment and then replied.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, this kind of thing only happens in the homes of ordinary people, not in the homes of local officials. This is what makes this matter weird."
It was also the first time for Lin Beihe to hear such a weird thing, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"go on."
"Yes!"
The minister said respectfully, and then continued.
"The local government launched an investigation overnight to see if bandits from nearby broke into the city and stole the missing food. However, after clearing several cottages in succession, they discovered that the bandits had nothing to eat.
Those edible things seemed to disappear out of thin air, which was quite strange. "
"In addition, the drought also broke out at this time. No grain crops were harvested, and even the drinking water sources dried up. Tens of thousands of hungry people have been killed and injured in the city."
"After that, plagues and diseases frequently occurred in Nanling, Xishan and other places, and people were displaced."
"Right now, people are spreading rumors that there may be evil spirits at work."
Speaking of this, all the ministers' eyes couldn't help but focus on Lin Beihe.
It can be done to steal all the food in an entire city in one night.
It can even cause droughts.
If it is really evil.
I am afraid that only Lin Beihe in the Great Zhou Dynasty has the ability to solve this matter.
"I understand, I will go and have a look over there in the Northern Territory."
Lin Beihe nodded.
Now he has broken through to become a god, and his strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
It is indeed the best candidate for exorcism.
Lin Beihe just promised to go to the Northern Territory to eliminate demons.
A eunuch came to the main hall anxiously.
"Your Majesty, good news, great news."
"The disaster in the Northern Territory has been solved. An outsider named Qingyang Taoist has rejuvenated himself and eliminated the local plague.
He also prayed to heaven for rain to save the people from drought. "
"In the end, this man also performed a five-ghost transporting technique, and out of thin air, he produced enough food to feed everyone in the Northern Territory."
This statement came out.
Everyone present could not help but show surprised expressions.
Praying to the sky for rain?Conjure food out of thin air.
They had never heard of such a thing.
It is no different from the fairy magic in fairy tales.
It was not until it was confirmed that the plague was really under control that the officials became ecstatic.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, it's really God who helps me."
"First, there was a mysterious and powerful person who overcame the disaster in our territory, and now there is an expert from outside the world who appears to save all people from suffering. This is simply God's blessing."
"Your Majesty, for such an expert, why don't we invite him to serve for our great Zhou?"
All the civil and military officials spoke one after another, feeling surprised and happy that Wu Mingyue was about to gain another capable general.
Different from the optimism of the civil and military officials, Lin Beihe frowned, and a glimmer of light flashed deep in his eyes.
I just feel that what everyone thinks is a bit too naive.
This is the first time a drought of this scale has occurred since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty.
In all likelihood, someone did this.
These guys first used some unknown method to steal all the food in the Northern Territory, spreading plague and causing drought.
Appearing in this way won the hearts of the people.
This person's methods are brilliant and he is by no means a simple person.
Too moral?
Lin Beihe didn't expect that before he could find them, the strong man from the other party would come to them.
……
the other side.
Northern Territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Heading towards Fengcheng.
The drought has lasted for several months and there has been no grain harvest.
The millions of people in the city have already become hungry, their faces are yellow and their muscles are thin, and they look haggard, like walking these months, riots occurred every day.
They are all disputes over food.
"Hungry, very hungry."
"Why hasn't the disaster relief food from the imperial court arrived yet?"
"What a disaster relief food. Those dog officials don't care about our lives at all."
"Instead of waiting for death here, it is better to risk everything. There is still a lot of food left in the government."
"Let's go grab it."
"That's right, we can't sit still and wait for death any longer."
Some hungry young adults in the city spoke one after another.
A pair of scarlet eyes, filled with bloodthirsty and murderous intent.
Many people could no longer restrain their impulses and were preparing to go to the official warehouse in the city to seize food.
"Infinite Heavenly Lord, poor Taoists have come from all over the world. Seeing that you are all suffering, they have come to help you."
What appeared in front of everyone at this moment was an old Taoist priest wearing Bagua Taoist robes.
The old Taoist priest has white beard and hair, has an immortal spirit, and has a look of compassion on his face.
I saw him holding a mahogany sword.
His feet took incomprehensible steps.
It's like performing some ancient ritual.
Finally, he pointed at the sky with his mahogany sword.
"It's raining!"
The old Taoist priest shouted loudly.
In an instant.
The entire void is covered with dark clouds.
The rain fell heavily.
It wetted the clothes of many people.
"It's raining."
"It's finally raining!"
"We are saved!!!"
In an instant, the city was filled with cheers, and countless people were crying, shouting, and kneeling in thanksgiving.
The old Taoist priest nodded slightly, looking quite satisfied with this scene, and then flicked his sleeves.
All kinds of steamed buns, white noodles, and hot rice suddenly appeared on the ground in front of them out of thin air.
Seeing this scene, everyone became even more excited.
Countless people cheered and took the food in front of them into their arms.
Excited tears, mixed with rain.
At this moment, the old Taoist priest was like a god in their eyes.
"Infinite Heavenly Venerate."
The old Taoist shouted a Taoist slogan with compassion.
"Do you want to know why drought occurs?"
I heard what the old Taoist said.
The city suddenly became quiet.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the old Taoist.
"May I ask the Immortal why drought occurs?"
At this time, a young strong man stood up, bowed and asked.
"Ugh"
The old Taoist priest sighed.
"In fact, the drought you encountered was to protect others from the disaster."
"All the suffering you have suffered was brought about by one person, and he transferred his own suffering onto you."
This statement came out.
The whole place was silent.
Anger and confusion appeared on the faces of countless people.
"Who is he!"
"Whoever harmed us, we must peel off his skin, cramp his tendons, and cut him into pieces."
Many people roared angrily, with ferocious looks in their eyes, wanting to immediately find out the mastermind behind it and smash their bones into ashes.
"This person is Lin Beihe, the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
The old Taoist uttered a word softly.
