Chapter 102: Recruiting the Patrol Lord
The temple is composed of two major departments, day travel and night travel, the day tour god is responsible for patrolling the location of the junction of the human world and the ghost world during the day, and the night wandering god is responsible for searching for lonely souls at night in the human world, they have a special teleportation channel, you can wander between the two worlds, of course, this is also agreed by the king of Taishan Mansion and the king of the human world, after all, if there is a wandering soul wandering in the human world all the year round, it is simply a disaster for ordinary people in the human world, and from time to time you will see ghosts, just ask if you are afraid.
Shi Fu was dragged into the Temple of the Wandering God by the Night Wandering God, and went to the main hall to find the Patrol Lord, the Patrol Lord is the person in charge of the Wandering God Temple, unlike other departments, the Patrol Lord must be changed every hundred years, because it involves the peace of the two worlds of humans and ghosts, so it must be changed frequently to ensure that each Patrol Lord is dutiful.
This year's patrol master is the famous general Meng Tian, at this time he is just about to retire, Shi Fu's purpose is also very simple, after the change of the patrol master, the previous patrol master is going to reincarnate, as a famous general, Shi Fu must leave Meng Tian behind, so he came this time to ask Meng Tian's tone first.
Walking into the main hall, the night tour Shen Yu reported: "Report to the Patrol Lord, the human world is impermanent, I want to see you." ”
Meng Tian was stunned for a moment and asked, "When did the human world still establish impermanence?"
Shi Fu pushed the night wandering god away a little, looked at Meng Tian and said, "General Meng, don't come unharmed." ”
Meng Tian looked at the three-year-old child in front of him and asked, "Who are you?
Shi Fu took two steps forward and said, "I am the reincarnation of Zhuge , and we dealt with each other in our previous life. ”
Meng Tian thought for a while and said, "Oh, I know, you are Zhuge Liang, who was ordered to carry out a mission in the human world, yes, yes, we have met before, but I don't know what happened to you this time?"
Shi Fu asked, "Will General Meng be abdicating in a few days?"
Meng Tian didn't show much when asked about the abdication, and said flatly: "Yes, it's also a hundred years, and he is handing over to the next patrol lord recently." ”
Shi Fu nodded and asked again, "But I don't know what General Meng's plans are after abdication?"
Meng Tian smiled and said, "What else can I plan, go to reincarnation." ”
Shi Fu smiled and asked, "Doesn't General Meng want to gallop on the battlefield again and lead his troops to fight?"
Meng Tian's smile receded, he always felt that there was something in Shi Fu's words, so he asked, "Brother Zhuge What do you want to ask?"
Shi Fu waved his hand and said: "I am no longer Zhuge in my previous life, you can call me Brother Shi or Xiao Fu, I came here this time to recruit talents." ”
Meng Tian touched his chin and said, "How do you say this?"
Shi Fu didn't try it anymore, he walked up to Meng Tian and whispered: "I know that General Meng is about to abdicate, so I want you not to be reincarnated, come to the ghost city of the four directions to help me train my troops." ”
Meng Tian said: "I'm afraid ......." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shi Fu, Shi Fu continued: "Don't refuse first, listen to me, I have already reported to the Ghost Emperor, and now I am in charge of the Quartet Ghost City, and the original Quartet Ghost King, except for Chen Dong, is all under my command." I also negotiated with the judge Ji Fa, every day the judge hall will send half of the evil ghosts to the ghost city of the four directions, these people are all evil people in life, I want them to serve the underworld to have good generals to help, I have found three before, this last candidate I want you to come, after all, I have already decided when you and I met in the previous life, you must be a peerless general. ”
After listening to Shi Fu's words, Meng Tian kept thinking about the pros and cons, and it was difficult to decide for a while, Shi Fu saw him hesitate and said: "I am now living in the Hall of Impermanence, there are still a few days before you abdicate, you can think about it slowly." But I want to ask you, do you know anything about the recent unrest of the world?"
Meng Tian nodded and said: "Recently, there have often been ghost and beast riots in the underworld, or the flooding of the River Styx, I have also sent someone to investigate, it is certain that someone is making ghosts from it, but it is impossible to determine who it is, the other party is very cunning." ”
Shi Fu heard the words and said: "Since General Meng knows, then I don't need to say more, the ghost city of the Quartet is the preparation I made in advance to meet the enemy, and you can think about the rest for yourself, I'll go." After speaking, Shi Fu walked out of the main hall.
Meng Tian in the main hall lowered his head and kept thinking about something, and the night wandering god who brought Shi Fu was standing on the hall, also thinking about what Shi Fu said, and he said half-loudly: "If I am sure that I will go, how boring it is to be reincarnated, I still have to drink Meng Po soup, it is better to stay in the underworld, what do you want." When Meng Tian heard this, he said with a smile: "You go out, I know." ”
Shi Fu left the Temple of the Wandering Gods, and walked towards the Hall of Impermanence, he was not in a hurry, nor did he use the instantaneous method, just wandered around like shopping, and he enjoyed the leisure time now.
I don't know how long I walked, and it was still far from the Hall of Impermanence, but Shi Fu saw an acquaintance on the side of the road, a monk wearing a cyan monk's robe sitting on a boulder on the side of the road.
Shi Fu smiled, performed the "Ascending Immortal Leap" technique, jumped on the boulder, and said to the monk: "Is the Jizo King Bodhisattva waiting for me?"
King Jizo smiled and said, "Little Fu, are you ready?"
Shi Fu thought for a while and said, "I don't dare to say that I have done it well, after all, I don't know what I have to face." ”
King Jizo nodded and said, "You'll know, you're going to the West next month, right?"
Shi Fu said: "Yes, it is said that there are smoke demons in the West, and the Ghost Emperor asked me to take a look." ”
King Jizo nodded again, then took out an ancient book from his bosom and handed it to Shi Fu, and said to him: "What you are going to face is a high-level smoke demon, and your formation may not be enough to deal with it, I have Buddhist exercises here, you can practice it." ”
Shi Fu took the ancient book and looked at it, the words 'Dacheng Myoho-renge-kyo' were written on the skin, and said to the king of Jizo with some doubts: "Bodhisattva, what do you mean by giving me a sutra book?
King Jizo smiled, "You can go back and take a look and it will move, I believe you will be able to comprehend it." With that, a gust of wind blew, and King Jizo disappeared.
Shi Fu shook his head and said in a low voice: "This Buddhist family is really weird, I don't say anything thoroughly, I have to let people understand it by themselves." After speaking, he also flashed, used the instantaneous technique, and returned to the outside of the Hall of Impermanence.
Shi Fu did not go back directly, but first went to the restaurant, looking at the lively business he walked to the front of the counter, Liu shopkeeper saw Shi Fu come and took out the account book, and said to him: "Boss, this is the account of the last few days, you can see it." ”
Shi Fu took the account book and flipped through a few pages casually and put it down, he knew that Shopkeeper Liu would not be wrong, this time he came to the restaurant to eat, after all, he had been hungry for a long time.
He said to Shopkeeper Liu: "Shopkeeper Liu, prepare two bowls of stew for me and take them to the private room upstairs, by the way, if someone comes to me in a while, just let him come up directly." With that, he went upstairs.
After a while, Shengzi walked upstairs with two bowls of stewed boil and placed them in front of Shi Fu, Shi Fu pinched his fingers, smiled and said to Shengzi: "Shengzi, bring a small jar of wine, there will be guests coming." ”
Shengzi took the order, brought a small jar of liquor, put it on the table, Shi Fu waited while eating, after a bowl of stewed boiled food, the door of the private room opened, and Meng Tian walked in from outside.
Shi Fu smiled: "General Meng is here, sit down." ”
Meng Tian sat down and asked, "Do you know I'll come?"
Shi Fu replied: "I will count, and even if I don't count, I know that General Meng will definitely come back, after all, you were a loyal and righteous general for the country and the people during your lifetime." ”
Meng Tian didn't speak, the two of them fell silent, and after half a sound, Shi Fu put the wine jar in front of Meng Tian and said: "General Meng, let's not say anything superfluous, since you are here, the meaning is very clear, after you abdicate in a few days, someone will naturally pick you up and go to the ghost city of the four directions, I have to practice the exercises during this time, I can't always accompany you, and I ask for your understanding, this wine is considered to be my respect for you." ”
After hearing this, Meng Tian picked up the wine jar, took a big sip, put down the jar and said, "It's really good wine, I haven't drunk for a long time." ”
Shi Fu smiled: "If General Meng likes it, I will send you a few more jars to drink back." ”
Meng Tian waved his hand and said, "No need, I will be my own family in the future, if I want to drink, I can come and drink at any time." ”
Shi Fu bowed to Meng Tian and said, "I, the soldiers of the Quartet Ghost City, will be handed over to you." ”
Meng Tian got up and saluted back and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely train you a team of elite divisions." ”
The two didn't talk for long, Shi Fu left, and Meng Tian sat alone in the private room and muttered, "I hope my choice is not wrong...... ”
