Heidou couldn't help but loudly praise Zhang Liying's handwriting is really beautiful, but Zhang Liying is not happy at all, there is a very important thing at the moment, that is, she must first figure out where the City God Temple is located in this city.

Although Zhang Liying was born and raised here, but the city is so big, she can't go around every corner, the places she has been to, but there has never been a City God Temple, Zhang Liying knows the place, except for the scenic spot, there is a small temple on the mountain in the suburbs, there is no such place at all.

Zhang Liying took out the map of the city from the bookcase, studied it carefully for a long time, but there was still no result, she found that there is a residential area called the City God Temple Tourist Area, could it be that the City God Temple was demolished, and this tourist area was built on the old site?

You'll have to ask someone who knows the city better. Jiang Chang? No, since he was discharged from the hospital, he hadn't contacted her for half a month, and once she called him, his tone was cold, could it be because he had a new girlfriend?

Tan Yiping? She would definitely not be interested in the City God Temple, and with her own understanding of her, Tan Yiping would not leave a single impression of this kind of place even if she passed by the gate of the City God Temple a hundred times; He Jiang was a policeman, and even if he didn't know, it should be easy for her to find out, right? But he was a big mouth, and he was so close to Jiang Chang, maybe he would tell Jiang Chang about it as soon as he turned around, and if these two came to the door together, it would be bad to interrogate him......

Zhang Liying screened the people she knew several times, and finally patted her head, by the way, why didn't I think of it, isn't there a ready-made candidate? She immediately jumped on the sofa and grabbed the phone: "Hey, hello, uncle, is my aunt here?...... Auntie, I'm Yingying......"

Zhang Liying was not close to her uncle's family before, but since her father was imprisoned, her uncle's family has reached out to her and helped her solve all the problems around her wholeheartedly. Zhang Liying, who has always thought that she is independent and mature enough, has only really understood in recent months that sometimes, the care between relatives is not manifested in the usual courtesy and warmth.

After she dialed her aunt's electric work, Zhang Liying first listened to her aunt's nagging, nothing more than whether she ate well, slept well, whether there were any neighbors and classmates who dared to bully you and the like, but these common words were extremely comfortable to Zhang Liying, and it was good for someone to care.

Zhang Liying took a lot of effort to convince her aunt that she could not only eat and sleep, but also fierce, no one dared to bully her and live well, although she liked her aunt's care very much, but this kind of electric work was still as little as possible, her aunt was too wordy, and the photoelectric work cost a lot of money!

My aunt's nagging finally came to an end, and Zhang Liying explained the reason why she couldn't go to make up for her cousin recently, and finally asked her own question, of course, the excuse was that the classmates who transferred from other places wanted to go to the temple to make a wish or something: "Auntie, why have I never heard of what City God Temple we have here?"

Zhang Liying's aunt Lin Yuxia is a typical superstitious figure. She is very superstitious but does not specifically believe in any religion, whether it is the Bodhisattva Buddha, the Jade Emperor Queen Mother, the Lord of Yama, the Four Seasons Old Mother Taishan Niangniang, the Land Gonggong Stove Prince, the Angel God...... Anyway, as long as it's a god, she worships and believes in it.

She celebrates some strange birthdays throughout the year, such as the birthday of the God of Wealth, the Jade Emperor, and God. As long as such a temple exists, she must know the address of the City God Temple.

"City God Temple......" The murmur on the other side of the phone made Zhang Liying secretly scream, didn't she know? But after a few seconds, her aunt's voice sounded again: "It seems that the City God Temple was demolished not long ago, and I heard that it was expanded, but it seems to have changed its name, how old is your classmate, and when did you make a wish?"

"Like, it seems to be her mother, no, no, it seems like her grandmother's generation, and then she moved to other places with her mother, and now she is back to school, and she helps her deceased grandmother to repay her wishes......" Zhang Liying wiped the cold sweat while lying, God, if she continues like this, she will change from a simple girl to a liar who is used to lying......

"Do you know the Chenghuang Temple community, the old site of the Chenghuang Temple is nearby, it is said that the mountain forest has been developed, and then the developer expanded the small temple, it seems to be called Yunfeng Temple, your classmate wants to repay the vow, just go there. It's just that...... She's a little child, don't you know how to repay her wishes......" When my aunt heard the interest, she immediately crackled and said a lot.

She not only talked about the procedures and etiquette of burning incense and making wishes, but also said that she could personally help Zhang Liying's classmates if needed. Zhang Liying couldn't help it, so she persuaded her to dispel this idea of enthusiastic help, and promised to ask for advice if there was anything she didn't understand.

Zhang Liying put down the phone with relief, rummaged through the form in her hand, and couldn't help sighing, she was finally looking forward to tomorrow's great weekend, but she couldn't use it to go shopping and go to the movies, nor could she use it to clean the house or review homework, but was going to the City God Temple to burn a picture, alas, it was really ......

She picked up the form she was going to give to the underworld and carefully checked it again, looking at the ghosts in the house, the spirit beasts, and the general of the underworld, who was reincarnated as a dog...... Look at the TV again, a couple is flirting, they are also high school students, how free, pure, romantic, and they can talk about love......

Looking at herself again, alas, it seemed that her great youth was about to be spent like this, and an inexplicable sorrow came to her heart, and she lamented the passage of her youth while holding her cheeks in a daze.

"Hey, girl, girl, change the channel, change the channel, I hate noisy and crying romance dramas the most, find someone to solve the case and take a look, fashion shows, beauty contests. Ji Ao's loud voice rang out inappropriately.

"Hey, don't I even have the freedom to be sad? Zhang Liying gave him a vicious look.

"Why did I offend you again?" girl......" Ji Ao closed his eyes in fright, but the expected cushion did not smash towards him, he only heard a sound of footsteps and the sound of the door closing, and when he opened his eyes again, Zhang Liying had already walked back to the bedroom and closed the door tightly.

"She's always so moody, and violent, she won't be able to marry in the future! Ji Ao's words were strongly supported by Black Bean, who nodded vigorously in agreement, but at the same time did not forget to sneak a glance at Zhang Liying's room.

Alas, it's really pitiful for Heidou, the fearless general of the underworld, who was tamed like this by Zhang Liying in less than a month, which really made Ji Ao sigh.

Zhang Liying stayed in the bedroom for a while, and felt that her temper was very bad, she changed into a set of powder blue Mickey Mouse home clothes, and walked out of the bedroom in a sneer, changed Ji Ao to the channel he liked to watch, and began to peel oranges to feed Ji Ao.

Ji Ao and Heidou stuck out their tongues at each other and snickered, only to realize that Yan'er was not in the house.

"Where did Yan'er go?" Zhang Liying walked into the kitchen and looked under the sofa again, but still didn't see his figure.

He went back to the underworld to play with his friends, and he will be back tomorrow. Ji Ao swallowed the orange and said, "It's okay, he's a spirit animal." ”

No matter how unhappy Zhang Liying was, she still went out early the next day, got on her bicycle and went straight to the Chenghuang Temple community.

This community is a demolition and relocation community rebuilt from the city's old houses, which has a history of more than 20 years, and the people live in a mess, and there is no safety management work, so Zhang Liying didn't spend much effort to enter the community, and there was not even a security guard at the door of the community.

It seems that he has really become accustomed to lying, and he doesn't even need to prepare a lie beforehand: "Oh my God, I don't want to be like this." ”

Zhang Liying lamented her "depravity" while cheering up and began to search. It was easy for the community to blend in, but on the contrary, it took nearly an hour to find the temple before Zhang Liying found the target in an angle formed by several buildings in the community.

In that shady corner, where the sunlight was blocked by a few tall buildings, a few tall locust trees surrounded a rather large temple, standing quietly in the shadows, as if waiting for something.

The temple was once a small ruined temple, but it was later restored, and the fractured area showed rough cement wounds. Nearly a third of the text on it had fallen off, and it was mottled and unreadable. And the stone beast that carried the monument was also smashed off its head, and the empty neck that stood forward had been polished very smooth by the years.

The grass on the ground grew very tall, barely reaching the neck of the stele stone beast, and the ground felt soft when stepped on, I don't know if it was because the grass was too thick, or because the land was wet. From time to time, small insects will escape from their feet and rush to all directions, and some even panic and crawl directly from Zhang Liying's instep, so frightened that Zhang Liying stomped her feet again and again to drive them away.

The place as a whole gives the feeling of stepping into another space, and even the temperature around it seems to have dropped a lot. Zhang Liying shrunk her shoulders, although it was autumn in terms of solar terms, she was still wearing clothes that exposed her shoulders because she was afraid of the heat, and now she felt that a layer of goosebumps was rushing out on her shoulders and arms.

"It's ghostly here, it's really like an office in the underworld......" Zhang Liying muttered to herself while taking out the copy from her pocket, she originally thought she was going to go into the temple to find it, but she didn't expect that the original City God Temple was just a stone tablet, she stepped forward and squatted down and took out a match.

Her hand was shaking, and a match had been struck several times, broken, replaced with another, and struck several times...... Finally lit: "Burn it, burn it, burn it quickly, ...... it"

Zhang Liying bit her lip and watched the tissue paper burn to ashes, and then even the fly ash scattered into the long grass, leaving no trace. Nothing happened...... Zhang Liying sighed, she really scared herself, and waited for a long time in vain.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liying kicked the ashes of the paper left behind her feet with her foot, and decided to forget about today's absurd incident immediately.

She took one last look at this place, patted the dust on her body, Zhang Liying turned around easily, and decided to ask Tan Yiping to come out to watch a movie and go shopping, not to go home to face the faces full of "feudal superstition" that reminded her of what Yin Cao, City God, Ghost Master, and Soul: "I hope there is really a City God who can receive it, if you receive it, please help the people who were hurt by the ghost master......

Not long after Zhang Liying left, an illusory figure appeared in front of the stone tablet.
