Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world
Chapter 701 Fundraising
After hearing what the villagers said, Lin Beichen and Hu Yi couldn't help feeling a chill in their hearts.
But on second thought, it is understandable that the villagers felt panic and confusion in the face of such an emergency.
Lin Beichen was not surprised by the villagers' distrust, because he had anticipated such an outcome and had prepared for the worst. After all, this matter was indeed difficult for the villagers to accept.
So, Lin Beichen used Taoist magic without hesitation and projected the scene of the village chief Wu Dazhu arguing with the old man.
When the villagers saw these scenes, they were all stunned.
Although they found it hard to believe, they could not deny the facts before them.
When the village chief saw these scenes, he was completely stunned and speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain to the villagers.
In desperation, he shouted to the villagers: "Don't believe him, he is deceiving you, this is all fake. He used sorcery to conjure up this thing. How could I kill an old man? I have no motive at all."
"What are you waiting for? Monsters like these, why don't you set them on fire to death. They are spreading rumors and confusing people here, which is simply too much." The village chief was terrified and wished he could kill Lin Beichen immediately.
The villagers didn't know who to trust for a moment, but after hearing the order from the village chief, they decided to set fire to Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen looked at these ignorant villagers and his heart was filled with anger.
He had laid all the facts before everyone, but they chose not to believe it.
Lin Beichen didn't want to suffer an unjust accusation and have all the villagers hate him.
So he knocked down several villagers and then ran away. The villagers were even more angry when they saw Lin Beichen running away. They accused Lin Beichen indiscriminately and were instigated by the village chief, so their attitude was extremely bad.
The village chief was arrogant and didn't think he had done anything wrong. He looked at Lin Beichen who was running away and shouted, "You hypocrite, you came here in the name of preaching, but you are a beast in human form. We didn't agree to build a Taoist temple here, and you killed people. You are so cruel."
"You are so heartless for using sorcery to deceive the people. You will definitely be punished for doing this. Even God will not let you go. You killed someone and you want to escape. Do you think you can leave here?"
After hearing the rebuke from the village chief, Lin Beichen did not want to resist or defend himself, because he knew in his heart that even if he said everything, gave all the reasons, and produced all the evidence, these people would not believe him.
Instead, they will think that he is manipulating everything, that he is the culprit and the murderer of the old man.
When Hu Yi saw this scene, he was both angry and anxious.
She held Lin Beichen's hand and asked with a wronged look on her face: "Master, what should we do? Are we just going to let them slander us all the time? They are too unreasonable and there is no way to reason with them. You should think of a solution quickly."
Lin Beichen frowned, looked at Hu Yi and said, "Call the police first. Everything will come out. I believe the police will not confuse right and wrong."
"We must always believe in justice. As long as you have done nothing wrong, there is no need to be nervous or afraid." Hu Yi followed Lin Beichen's arrangements and chose to call the police.
The police arrived at the scene quickly. Lin Beichen explained the situation to the police and showed them the footage of what happened at the time. After the police had all the evidence, they finally arrested the village chief.
The truth of the matter finally came to light, and Lin Beichen and Hu Yi were cleared of the charges of murder. After the village chief was taken away by the police, he continued to shout and defend himself. But it was all in vain.
When the village chief was taken away by the police, the villagers felt sorry for Lin Beichen. They realized that it was their blind obedience and credulity that had invisibly helped to bolster the village chief's prestige and caused Lin Beichen and Hu Yi to suffer a great deal of injustice.
The villagers apologized to Lin Beichen one after another, but Lin Beichen showed a magnanimous attitude and did not hold it against the villagers.
After all, they are also innocent. Faced with sudden events, they can only go with the flow and lack their own judgment.
Seeing Lin Beichen's magnanimity, the villagers admired him. They knew that after such a big event, the village was leaderless and needed someone to take charge.
Therefore, the villagers begged Lin Beichen to stay and serve as the village chief, to seek their welfare and lead everyone to work together. They hoped that Lin Beichen's stay would bring them some peace of mind.
However, Lin Beichen politely declined the villagers' request. He said that he had his own responsibilities and mission and could not stay in the village for a long time. He suggested that the villagers choose a capable and popular person to serve as the village chief.
Lin Beichen's refusal made the villagers feel a little disappointed, but they could understand it.
At this moment, Lin Beichen was also confused. The sudden death of the old man made him at a loss. He had originally made an agreement with the old man, but now everything has changed so suddenly.
Hu Yi saw Lin Beichen's hesitation, and she asked him what he was thinking with concern.
Lin Beichen sighed and said that he didn't know what to do.
At this time, the old man's son stood up and revealed to the villagers and Lin Beichen the old man's last wish: to support Lin Beichen in building a Taoist temple in the village, and Lin Beichen promised to bring rain to the village to alleviate the drought.
The old man's son said that if Lin Beichen felt that this matter could not continue because of his father's death, he could choose to leave and the villagers would not force him. Hearing this, the villagers' hearts became heavy.
Lin Beichen looked at the villagers, and a sense of responsibility surged in his heart. He took a deep breath and firmly stated that he would keep his promise and fulfill the old man's wish. His words moved the villagers, and they admired Lin Beichen's mind and compassion even more.
The old man's son also expressed his deep gratitude to Lin Beichen. He thanked Lin Beichen for letting his father pass away peacefully, and also thanked Lin Beichen for considering the villagers and helping them out of their predicament.
Lin Beichen nodded and accepted everyone's thanks. Then, he began to spread rain and tried to alleviate the drought in the village. With his help, the villagers finally got rid of the suffering and lived a good life.
After Lin Beichen made all the preparations, he felt quite heavy in his heart. The old man should have witnessed this moment with his own eyes, but he would never be able to do so. He shook his head, dispelling these gloomy emotions, and walked towards Hu Yi.
He looked serious and determined at Hu Yi: "I am about to start making rain. As my apprentice, you must study hard. It may be useful in the future."
"Learning is a process of accumulation. As long as you are quick-eyed, quick-handed and dedicated, there is nothing you cannot learn. Remember my words." Lin Beichen said earnestly.
Hu Yi felt helpless after hearing this. She had just learned the basics of Taoism and knew nothing about these profound Taoist techniques.
Faced with Lin Beichen's instructions, she felt at a loss, but seeing Lin Beichen's serious expression, she nodded quickly: "Master, I will remember it, and I will study hard and not let you down."
"I have kept the master's teachings in mind. Although I am relatively dull and have not learned much, I will not give up learning and working hard." Hu Yi answered firmly. Lin Beichen was very satisfied with Hu Yi's attitude. He turned around and said to the old man's son, "I have made a list. You should prepare some things according to the requirements on the list."
"These things are crucial to the success of the rain-making process. No matter how powerful I am, I can't do it without them." Lin Beichen emphasized.
The old man's son took the list respectfully and checked it carefully. Although he was a little surprised, he still prepared according to Lin Beichen's instructions. Soon, he had prepared all the necessary items.
Lin Beichen chose the highest hill and began to make it rain mysteriously.
The villagers were asked to retreat three meters away and not get close. Only Hu Yi stayed with Lin Beichen.
Hu Yi stared at Lin Beichen intently, and saw him holding a wooden sword and muttering something. She was full of curiosity, but she knew that she couldn't disturb Lin Beichen at this moment, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
The villagers were even more curious and discussed: "Is it really going to rain? I can't even remember the last time it rained."
"I hope this great immortal can succeed, that would be great."
"If it doesn't rain again, we won't get any harvest and will just starve to death."
"Let's just pray and hope that our dreams come true."
Thanks to Lin Beichen's efforts, the originally cloudless sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and raindrops as big as beans poured down. When the villagers saw this scene, they cheered: "It's raining! It's really raining!"
"Great! It seems that God has pity on us and sent this great god to save us."
"Everyone, please kowtow to the great god and thank him for giving us rain." The villagers knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lin Beichen to express their gratitude.
Lin Beichen smiled calmly: "You don't have to be like this. This is what I promised the old man. It's just a piece of cake."
"Don't treat me like a god. I really can't bear such praise," he said modestly.
Hu Yi looked at Lin Beichen with joy: "Master, you are so amazing! Your strength is beyond my imagination!"
"Every time you encounter difficulties, you make me look at you in a new light and make me admire you even more," Hu Yi praised.
Lin Beichen shook his head helplessly. He felt that this was just a small matter and it was not worth making such a fuss. He began to think about his own affairs. Seeing that the old man's son wanted to help him, he was very grateful.
His original intention here was simple, which was to help the common people here get rid of ignorance.
Now Lin Beichen felt relieved to hear the old man's son explain to the villagers his intention to build a Taoist temple.
Although the villagers had heard the village chief Wu Dazhui mention this matter before, they did not take it seriously because the village chief opposed it and spread rumors at the time.
Now when the villagers heard the old man’s son mention it again, they were at a loss for what to do.
However, Lin Beichen believes that as time goes by, they will understand his good intentions.
Although Lin Beichen was happy in his heart, he knew very well that this was not an easy task.
The old man had once told him frankly that there was simply no extra money to support the construction of a Taoist temple.
After witnessing Lin Beichen's abilities, the villagers were filled with admiration for him and hoped that he could do something for them.
They all said to the old man's son and Lin Beichen: "We all agree to build a Taoist temple. After all, it is a good thing."
"We know you are working for the benefit of us common people, not for your own benefit. So the common people have no objection to building a Taoist temple."
"Yes, you have helped us so much, and we all understand it in our hearts. It's just that we were too busy before and couldn't take care of it for a while, so it has been shelved."
Lin Beichen was not surprised to see that everyone agreed to build the Taoist temple. He knew that the common people had never been the main force against the construction of the Taoist temple. It was Wu Dazhu who had hindered the matter and delayed it until now.
However, the funding issue weighed on Lin Beichen's mind like a huge rock. Building a Taoist temple requires sufficient financial support, otherwise everything is just empty talk. The people's lives are not well-off now, and this money is just a drop in the bucket for them.
Lin Beichen didn't want to make the common people suffer or embarrass them because of this matter. He hesitated to speak. Although he was very happy that everyone supported him to build the Taoist temple, he found it difficult to bring up the issue of funds.
Hu Yi saw through Lin Beichen's thoughts, and she also knew what the old man said to Lin Beichen. Along the way, Lin Beichen always protected her from the wind and rain, but she never did anything for Lin Beichen. Now, she felt that it was time to stand up.
Hu Yi walked up to the common people and said with a guilty look on his face: "Thank you for your support, but building a Taoist temple is not easy. Funding is a big problem."
"We don't have any extra money, so even if we have the intention, it's hard to realize it."
"Master also knows that everyone is not well-off, so this matter has been shelved. Today, everyone brought it up, and the first thing we need to solve is the funding issue."
“Many hands make light work. Since everyone is willing, I hope we can unite as one and solve this problem together.”
After hearing what Hu Yi said, the villagers finally understood why Lin Beichen had been hesitating. They asked one after another: "Tell me, what is the solution to this problem?"
"We are willing to support you and do our little bit."
Hu Yi was very happy to hear these words. She suddenly had an idea and said to everyone, "Let's start fundraising from now on to see if we can solve the funding problem as soon as possible."
"If the funding problem is solved, I will ask the master to build a Taoist temple here immediately. What do you think of my idea?"
Hu Yi expressed his idea, and the villagers nodded in agreement. Suddenly, a voluntary and lively fundraising activity began, and the villagers did their best to donate money and effort.
Lin Beichen was somewhat shocked when he saw what Hu Yi did. He did not expect that this seemingly weak disciple could help him solve such a big problem at a critical moment. He watched the villagers actively raising funds, and his heart was filled with gratitude. (End of this chapter)
