Chapter 763: Lord Chenghuang

Fang Ming's eyes swept around, the asphalt on the side of the road had not been paved yet, and in a month's time, the progress of the project was indeed a little slow.

The entire construction site is only 100 meters away from Dongting Lake, and it is wide on all sides, so there is no problem from the terrain alone.

"There should be no strange thing, but when the construction site first started, the workers dug up a pile of clay, maybe there were some clay sculptures here before, but it is nothing. ”

Zhang Yaohui recalled carefully, but this is nothing at all, Yueyang City is an ancient city, after so many years have passed, sometimes digging out some antiques is nothing, let alone a pile of clay.

However, when Fang Ming heard Zhang Yaohui's words, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Uncle Zhang, can you still find that pile of clay?"

"This ...... Let me ask. ”

Zhang Yaohui was a little unsure, almost a month ago, these clay may have been gone a long time ago, and they became part of the foundation together with those yellow clays.

"Lao Jia, is the pile of clay that dug up when the ground was first broken still there?"

Zhang Yaohui waved to a man in his forties not far away, who was one of the foremen of the construction site and had been following Zhang Yaohui for almost ten years.

"You said that clay, I'm afraid it's gone, it should have been pulled to the exhibition to fill in the foundation. Lao Jia shook his head, but then said: "Oh yes, my son liked to play with mud at that time, as if he was holding a clay and pinching a villain, and the clay villain should still be there." ”

"Can you take us over and take a look? Fang Ming heard Lao Jia's words and said with a smile.

"Of course no problem, it's not far ahead. ”

Lao Jia nodded, there was a temporary shed not far from the construction site, which was for the workers to rest, and because Lao Jia was one of the foremen, his house still had air conditioning.

Foremen like Lao Jia generally stay at home, but when the children are on vacation, the wife and children will come to the construction site together to accompany them, after all, those who do engineering stay at the construction site all year round, and the time to accompany their families is indeed not much.

Lao Jia walked into his room, and after a while, he walked out with a clay figure in his hand, the clay figure was very rough, and he knew at a glance that it was from the hand of a child, but when Fang Ming took it, he still observed it carefully.

"Fang Ming, is there anything wrong with this clay figure?"

Han Qiaoqiao couldn't help but be curious, this is just a very ordinary clay figure.

"There is no problem with the clay figurine, but the problem is with the clay. ”

Fang Ming withdrew his gaze from the clay figure, now he could already determine why something strange had happened on this construction site.

"Clay, is there anything wrong with this clay?" Zhang Yaohui also asked at this time.

"Uncle Zhang, do you know what this clay was used for?" Fang Ming asked with a smile.

"Clay is used to make clay sculptures. ”

"So what sculptures usually use clay?"

"What kind of sculpture?" Zhang Yaohui fell into thought, but Cao Xia, who was on the side, added at this time: "If you talk about clay sculptures, I have seen them before when I was in my hometown, and the land father-in-law and land mother-in-law in the land temple in our hometown are fired out of clay. ”

"That's right, it's the father-in-law of the land, of course, in other words, it's the city god. ”

Fang Ming nodded and added: "These clay originally belonged to the statues of the City God, but for some reason, this City God Temple was demolished, and the sculpture of the City God was buried in the soil, and it was dug up by the construction team. ”

Hearing Fang Ming's explanation, Zhang Yaohui and the others felt a little incredible, everything on the construction site was a ghost caused by the statue of the City God?

"The Lord of the City and the Lord of the Land are almost the same, this sculpture is the Lord of the City God, and it has spirituality in itself, and now that the sculpture has been destroyed by you, it will naturally be angry because of it, and this kind of god is generally cautious. ”

"Careful eyes?"

Han Qiaoqiao and the others were even more puzzled, didn't they say that the gods and Buddhas were all merciful and compassionate, why did they become cautious again?

"City God and Land Lord are not strictly speaking gods, and even some spirits who have cultivated enough can become City God and Land Lord, so some of them are close to mountainous places, and their Land Lord looks very strange. ”

Seeing the puzzled eyes of Han Qiaoqiao and the others, Fang Ming explained in detail: "Let's put it this way, there are actually no fixed people between the City God and the Land Lord, this is like two official positions, you can hold them as long as you want, responsible for protecting the people of this side, of course, the advantage is to get the incense offerings of these people." ”

"If you think about it carefully, are there places where the city god and the land lord can say their names? They are only called by the two official positions of the city god and the land lord, so after a few decades, maybe the city god you worship and the city god that your father worships are not the same. ”

"Incense offerings are needed by the spirits, because if they want to cultivate, they need these incense to help them resist the heavenly calamity, and sometimes some spirits will fight each other in order to become the City God, of course, in most cases, they pay attention to the first come, first served. ”

Hearing Fang Ming say this, Han Qiaoqiao and the others understood that this was an exchange of interests, the common people offered incense to ask for peace, and the city god got incense to keep him safe.

"If you know some legends about the City God, you will find that sometimes some children will get sick and have a fever after going to the City God Temple to do things that are disrespectful to the City God, but if you go to Taoist temples and temples, even if you are a child, nothing will happen. ”

"The reason is very simple, the gods and Buddhas enshrined in Taoist temples and temples are all named and surnamed, they enjoy the incense of thousands of families, and naturally they will not worry about a child. ”

Zhang Yaohui and the others carefully recalled Fang Ming's words, and remembered that it was really such a truth.

"Then Brother Ming, what should we do now?" Zhang Xiaolong asked the key question, how to solve it after knowing the reason?

"Find an incense burner and get some incense and yellow paper, and I'll talk to him. ”

"That's fine, I'll arrange it now. ”

Zhang Yaohui arranged for Lao Jia to buy these things, and Cao Xia on the side had a puzzled look on her face, although it sounded like there was some truth, but she still didn't believe that there would really be gods in this world, and a clay sculpture would be so powerful.

Ten minutes later, Lao Jia ran back, because there was an incense and candle shop not far from the construction site, and Lao Jia bought all the things.

Fang Ming walked into Zhang Yaohui's office at the construction site with the clay figurine, and then cleaned up everything else on the desk, carefully placed the clay figurine on it, and placed the incense burner in front of the clay figurine.

"Uncle Zhang, you light incense and worship. ”

"Oh, good. ”

After Zhang Yaohui heard Fang Ming's words, he lit three sticks of incense and bowed down to the clay figure.

"Lord Chenghuang is above, the disciple surnamed Zhang Yaohui is not unintentionally offending you, but because your incense dojo has fallen, I don't know your identity, I hope you don't care about it, forgive me. ”

When Zhang Yaohui worshipped, Fang Ming was also talking on the side, and after Zhang Yaohui inserted three incense sticks on the incense burner, Fang Ming continued to read: "If Lord Chenghuang agrees, then accept this incense." ”

Almost at the moment of Fang Ming's words, the three incense sticks that were still burning suddenly went out.

"How can this be?"

Cao Xia on the side couldn't help but be surprised, it wouldn't be strange if it was just incense, but the key was that she just said something like this.

"Fang Ming, what should I do?"

Zhang Yaohui also didn't know what to do, Fang Ming's face also sank, and said, "Light incense again." ”

"Lord Chenghuang, after all, the disciple surnamed Zhang is an unintentional mistake, why do you need to hold on to it like this?"

Fang Ming spoke again, but when Zhang Yaohui inserted the incense, the incense was immediately extinguished again.

"This ......"

Zhang Yaohui and the others looked at each other, Fang Ming's face was also a little ugly, his eyes stared at the clay figure, and after half a sound, he suddenly sneered: "Give you face and call you a city god, if you don't give you face, you are nothing, and you really kick your nose in the face." ”

Hearing Fang Ming's words, Zhang Yaohui was stunned, they didn't expect that Fang Ming would directly point at the City God and scold.

"Without the dojo, you are just a spirit, and you are still holding the shelf of the city god, just what you do, killing innocent workers, enough to make the incense you absorb ineffective, you don't listen to the good things you say, if you have to tear your face and fight, then see who suffers." ”

When Fang Ming finished saying this, the three incense sticks on the incense burner changed again, and the three incense sticks that were originally extinguished actually burned again.

"Fang Ming, what's going on?"

Zhang Yaohui was surprised, it was understandable that the burning incense was extinguished, but it was the first time they had seen the extinguished incense burn by itself.

"Is this the city god agreed?"

Han Qiaoqiao's face was also incredible, he didn't agree when he said good things before, but when Fang Ming was fierce, this City God agreed, could it be that this City God is a bully who is afraid of the hard?

Or, does this City God have the potential to shake M?

Fang Ming's expression didn't change much, City God was not an immortal in the first place, if he really wanted to fight, he wouldn't be able to take advantage, so he finally chose to compromise.

The clay figure was originally immovable, but at this moment, the clay figure has changed, that is, it is actually looking towards Fang Ming, because the shape is not very vivid, this action seems a little weird, but at least everyone can see that this clay figure is indeed wanted.

"This clay figure can move, what is he going to do?"

Cao Xia only felt that her worldview had been completely collapsed, if the previous incense and incense burned made her worldview on the verge of collapse, then this moment is a complete collapse.

"You want to ask me to help you?"

Among the people at the scene, only Fang Ming understood that this City God had something to ask for help from him.
