The two empty iron boxes were carried up by Wang Changsheng, but a small piece of the arm of the stone statue was exposed under the box, he frowned and was stunned, at first he thought that it was something left after the Min family was slaughtered, so he dug it out with a shovel, and when all the stone statues were unearthed and placed on the ground, Wang Changsheng felt that this was not the case.

On the ground is a stone statue of the land father, which is the most common one, in the fields, in the mountains and even on the roadside of many rural villages, this kind of land is very common in our land, more than 9.6 million square kilometers, almost every other area will have one, every New Year's festival or land taboo day, there will be people to worship, burn paper on the tribute, and then most of them are praying for the coming year's wind and rain or the beauty of the heavens and the sun is not drought or waterlogging.

The land lord, also known as the god of fortune and the god of the shrine, is the most well-known god among the people, but if you want to talk about the godhead, he may be the lowest one, because if you convert the priesthood of the land lord to the yang world, his position is almost equivalent to the director of the neighborhood committee, and his responsibilities are similar.

"Smack" Wang Changsheng lowered his head and lit a cigarette, and after smoking for a long time, he didn't make a sound, until he finished smoking a cigarette, he frowned and asked, "When your Min family moved over, did you see any land temples nearby?"

Min Yue thought about it, shook his head and said that it didn't seem to be, Wang Changsheng immediately said "oh", and there seemed to be some understanding in his heart, he licked his lips and looked at the time, and said: " In this way, the midnight of the horse is going to pass, what should you do, put down this matter for the time being, and later I will release a few lonely souls and wild ghosts that I have received, I said that what I did is not a work to eliminate demons and defend the way, not to mention that you have not harmed anyone, as long as it doesn't provoke me, I basically won't be nosy, but what I want to ask is, do you plan to be a lonely soul and wild ghost here for the rest of your life, or do you think that you can go to the underworld and then be reincarnated?"

When Min Yue heard this, he immediately bowed down and said: "Mr. Xie doesn't accept the favor, we naturally want to be reincarnated as human beings, but for some reason, the more than 40 members of the Min family have not been able to go to the underworld."

"I'll talk about this question later, you can go if you want......" Wang Changsheng nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Let's disperse today, and I'll come back to you later."

Seeing that midnight is about to pass, it is about to be the time when the rooster crows, the yang energy between heaven and earth at this point begins to gradually rise, ordinary lonely souls and wild ghosts will not wander around, otherwise it will damage the Tao, more than 40 people in the Min family disappeared quietly, Wang Changsheng walked out of the villa area, Brother Bin and the others quickly jumped out of the car when they saw this, and then asked nervously: "Brother Wang, what about the ghosts inside?"

Wang Changsheng frowned and asked, "You haven't left yet, what are you doing here?"

"Didn't you leave either, we just wanted to see what the final result would be, such as you fighting them or something."

Wang Changsheng was speechless for a moment, pointed at a few of them and said, "Don't you go, right? I'm leaving, those things inside are still there, if you continue to delay here, I don't care what happens later."

After Wang Changsheng finished speaking, he turned his head and left, these stunned young men were too lazy to deal with them to the truth, they clearly interpreted what it means to be a mouse to be an escort for a cat, and it is not necessary to make money.

Looking at Wang Changsheng's distant back, several people looked at each other, and Huang Mao said: "What's the matter, we can't broadcast live anymore, that big brother is gone?"

Brother Bin pondered and said: "Pull it down, I don't dare to stay here when he leaves, really, my crotch is a little wet, I don't believe you touch ......"

That night, after Wang Changsheng came back from the Yanshan villa area, he found a small hotel in Yanshan Tunli and slept for most of the night, and after getting up the next morning, he blocked the old man Xue who was just about to go out at home.

"Little brother, shouldn't you tell me that I regret that I don't want copper coins in yesterday's business, right?" Old Xue Ling said with beads in his eyes: "Let me tell you, it's all a spit, and the finished business is the water that is spilled, and there is no reason to take it back."

"Yesterday's incident has been turned over, and I came to you to talk about another deal"

"Ah, that's fine, you can say it"

Wang Changsheng said: "You find a few people from the village, follow me to the Yanshan villa area, bring tools and dig something with me, I estimate that it will be done in about an hour, a hundred yuan per person, what's the matter?"

"The pork is more than thirty pounds, you give a hundred, it's not enough to buy four or five pounds of meat, brother, don't you don't know what the market is now?" Lao Xue said with a roll of his eyes.

Wang Changsheng said in surprise: "No, just dig a pit to make some effort, and it's not a technical job, how much money do you want?"

"Two hundred, one less point"

Wang Changsheng took out the remaining money from his pocket, looked at him and gritted his teeth and said, "One hundred and fifteen, if you are capable, you can help me find four people, if you can't do it, I will go out and vomit blood and dig it myself."

"Okay, deal!"

More than half an hour later, Lao Xue found a few familiar people from the village, and followed Wang Changsheng to the Yanshan villa area behind the village.

Lao Xue's eyes were red and he said: "Brother, you are lucky, I haven't been able to dig for a few years to dig this night."

Wang Changsheng kicked the pile of copper coins with his toes, and said with a smile: "If you don't want this one hundred and five, I can tell you how I can dig up so many in one night."

Lao Xue glanced at the people in the village around him a few times, and as soon as their eyes met, they said hello.

Lao Xue had a total of five people, carrying a shovel and digging down from the place where Wang Changsheng threw the stone statue of the land last night, he squatted next to him and squinted into the pit, gradually the range of the pit became bigger and deeper, more than 20 minutes later, he actually dug out a few pieces of blue bricks and red tiles from below, Wang Changsheng smiled, took out a cigarette from his body and threw it to Lao Xue.

"A few gentlemen, rest for a while, and then dig!"

After Lao Xue took the cigarette and smoked it, he inquired curiously: "Little brother, I don't look at you like digging copper coins anymore?"

Wang Changsheng flicked the cigarette ash, nodded and said: "These copper coins are of no use to me, if you want to, you can move them out for a while, but the work has to be done for me."

Several people's eyes suddenly lit up, and Lao Xue asked, "Then what are you going to dig?"

Wang Changsheng pointed to the bricks and tiles they had dug out and said, "That's it, I guess there may be a land temple buried underneath......"

Where there is land, there must be a land temple, this is a matter of course!

More than an hour later, a pit more than three meters deep and ten meters square was dug underground, in the middle of which was a pile of scattered blue bricks and red tiles and a shrine more than one meter high, as well as a statue of the earth woman that had been broken into several pieces, and a couplet was faintly written on some broken doorposts.

"The temple is small and the magic is big"

"The First Stop in Hades"

"Smack" Wang Changsheng snapped his fingers, arched his hand and said: "Thank you, a few gentlemen, it's okay, you can take the copper coins next to you, and I don't have to worry about the rest, just come by myself."

Lao Xue and his gang were very puzzled, Wang Changsheng spent so much effort to give up so many copper coins, could it be just to cut out this buried land temple?

This kind of simple land temple is very common, and it is often placed on the edge of the countryside field, which is still the reason that it has been demolished a lot after the large-scale development in recent years.

Although there are many land temples, their uses are different, and the people who worship are the land and the land wife, but if you want to say that the use is different, it depends on how the couplet is written.

The couplet of some land temples is written "the soil can give birth to all things, and the land can be a thousand auspicious", this kind of temple is the most common in the fields where farmers come to worship the land, and the meaning is also very simple and easy to understand, that is, I hope that there will be a good harvest every year, and some couplets are "protect the Quartet Qingji, bless the peace of a village" This is mostly offered in the villages in the south, which is used to pray for the safety of the village, bless the village and don't have any trouble, and some couplets are "Don't laugh at my old decay and incompetence, make a wish to try, even if you are rich and good, don't burn incense and see" This kind of land temple is to ask for a wish, if there is something difficult, then come to worship, and ask the land lord and the land wife to make people achieve their wishes.

The land temple that Wang Changsheng asked them to dig out is not the same as those, and few people know that this is the land temple that is the first stop in the underworld, but everyone who dies has to come here to stamp it.

Ordinary people's understanding of the Netherworld is probably only limited to the ghost city of Xudu, Huangquan Road, Nai He Bridge and the eighteenth layer of hell, but the composition of the Netherworld is far more than these places, and it is far more complicated than people think.

Because, there are a total of thirteen arrangements in the underworld, commonly known as the thirteen stations in the underworld.

Normally, when someone has reached the end of his life and dies, the Yin Cha in the underworld will take the soul hook card and the approval ticket, and take the deceased soul to the land temple to report first, and then the land public will open the local "household register" to verify that the deceased person is a local, and he will indeed die at the end of his life, so he will stamp the local land seal on the approval ticket and pass through the underworld, and the Yin Cha will lead the dead soul to confirm that he has entered the underworld and set foot on the Huangquan Road.

Huangquan Road is the second stop in the underworld.

Although the land lord has the lowest godpersonality and can be seen almost everywhere, it is the most indispensable part of the yin and yang worlds, and it is really not good without him, and the land lord is also the only one who is not subject to any restrictions and can shuttle back and forth between yin and yang, otherwise it is not good to be yin or ten yin handsome, or that sentence, there are laws in the yang and rules in the underworld.

Of course, there is no shortage of ghosts or people who break the rules, some dead souls will not enter the underworld when they die, and stay in the yang world as lonely souls and wild ghosts, and some people who are profound in Taoism can go back and forth between yin and yang at will.
