89 The God of Wealth is in trouble
That day, Zhao Gongming was carried by the guards of the Heavenly Punishment Division and thrown into the clouds. The wind whistled in his ears, and his body fell downward like a meteor. After a long time, Zhao Gongming was a little impatient.
He tried to open his eyes and look left and right, and happened to see a sign floating in the air, and there were five big characters on the sign, the eighth in the sky.
Zhao Gongming was discouraged for a while, it had been almost two months since he was thrown down from the Ninth Heaven by Heavenly Court, and now he had only fallen to the Eighth Heaven. With such a long distance, when will I fall into the world?
After a year, Zhao Gongming fell heavily to the ground, his huge body not only smashed a deep pit on the ground, but also caused chaos and dust that filled the entire sky
The fifth day of the first lunar month is the day when the people welcome the God of Wealth, and the pious people begin to prepare tributes the night before, preparing for the fifth watch to receive the God of Wealth in the temple. Then, while everyone was there, they continued to discuss the matter of raising money to expand the Temple of Caishen.
In recent years, the business and land harvest in Xucun have not been good. only stomped everyone's feet again and again.
The feng shui gentleman who passed by shook his head and sighed: "What a good feng shui treasure? It's a pity that everyone is stingy and greedy, only asking for the blessing of the gods, but they are reluctant to even offer a fruit, so if it goes on like this, it is strange that there can be a good business?"
The village Lizheng and some squires happened to pass by, and when they heard Mr. Feng Shui's amazing words, they hurriedly invited Mr. Feng Shui to the restaurant for advice.
A few glasses of soju in the stomach, the feng shui master was already drunk, looking at the anxious eyes of everyone, he said with a smile: "I have been to the temple many times, other gods are very effective, only the god of wealth Fan Li's soul is not possessed, the reason is that the God of Wealth Temple is narrow and short, the God of Wealth can not stretch his legs and feet, in order to stretch his muscles and bones to walk elsewhere." ”
Li Zheng asked anxiously: "Where has the God of Wealth gone for a walk, can you please come back?"
The feng shui master calculated for a moment and frowned and said: "The Tiger Prison Pass, which is five miles away from here, relies on the Yellow River, with the benefit of water and land transportation, every household is very rich, and the people have money, so they raise funds to rebuild the Guandi Temple." The God of Wealth was bored, so he went to visit the door of Emperor Guansheng, and when he saw the luxury and magnificence of Emperor Guan's temple, he was envious, and he praised it again and again. ”
Master Guan then persuaded: "Since you like it here, how about moving here to be my companion?
When the god of literature and wealth heard it, it was exactly what he wanted, so he stayed and joined forces with Emperor Guan, and only blessed the people of the party with smooth weather and prosperous business. And your Xu Village, because the God of Wealth is gone, has nothing to show and is powerless, and the river is already declining.
Li Zheng was sweating profusely when he heard this, and he trembled and said: "The people here were originally honest, but in the past few years, everyone has been doing business with red eyes, and they have snubbed the God of Wealth, may I ask Mr., how can we make the God of Wealth return to its place?"
The feng shui master twisted his beard and said with a smile: "The God of Literature and Wealth has sufficient offerings over there, and his life is comfortable, and he doesn't want to come back."
Fortunately, this is the land of all gods, a place of worship for immortals. Since the God of Wealth is gone, Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, should come into being, why don't you inform the villagers to hurry up and prepare, ten days later is the fifth day of the first month, it is the birthday of the God of Wealth, let everyone hurry up and prepare a rich tribute, first take over the God of Wealth,
Then you calmly prepare three hundred and sixty-five taels of silver to rebuild the Temple of the God of Wealth, only in this way can you make money and fortune prosperous. ”
Li Zheng and the squire happily applauded again and again.
Out of the restaurant, a squire pointed to a courtyard in the middle of the mountain and asked Mr. Feng Shui: "May I ask sir, where is Feng Shui how?"
The feng shui master squinted his eyes for a while before he said quietly: "This is the land of dragons, when there is a dragon, a tiger, and an emperor." ”
The crowd burst into laughter,
The squire couldn't straighten up with a smile, he pointed at Li Zheng and coughed again and again, "Isn't it? This is Li Zheng's home, his father's name is Wang Long, his second uncle's name is Wang Hu, and the third child in their family sings opera, specializing in playing the emperor." is a good feng shui, and the name is broken. ”
The crowd burst into laughter again.
The feng shui master also covered his mouth and smiled: "This is really a coincidence, the false wealth meets the virtual feng shui,"
Li Zheng didn't dare to slack off, he hurriedly called a meeting of the villagers,
Then he described in detail the reasons for the bad business in recent years and how to deal with it.
Only then did everyone come to their senses, so they went home to prepare tribute, especially those merchants, who went around asking what other people's houses had prepared, lest others surpass them and thus not receive the special favor of the God of Wealth.
I finally waited until the fifth day of the first month
The rooster crowed all over the place, and the people were just about to go out with the tribute on the tray, when suddenly they heard a boom, the earth trembled, and the whole temple was filled with dust.
The people who were rushing to the temple stopped and asked each other, "What's the matter?"
After all, this is a big day to welcome the God of Wealth, and everyone does not dare to be rash, coupled with curiosity.
So some young villagers, brave enough to shout at each other, went to the temple to see what was going on.
Everyone searched in the temple for a long time, and did not find anything abnormal, when they turned to the temple of the God of Wealth, they saw a deep pit on the ground, and there was a sloppy black fat man lying in the pit, and strands of green smoke rose from the pit
The villagers worked hard together to pull the big man out of the pit,
In an instant, the glow of the sun was ten thousand ways, and a purple gas pierced through the nine heavens.
People looked at the sky in amazement and saw that the clouds were like fireworks flying with brilliance
Chen Jiugong, who is old and cautious, has lived next to the temple for a long time, and he is used to seeing strange things. So I wasn't particularly surprised.
After patting off the floating soil on Zhao Gongming's body, he patiently asked, "Who are you? Why did you fall into the pit? Also, where did this pit come from?"
Everyone gathered around and said, "That's it, that is, there are no people in our village, tell me where you came from?"
Zhao Gongming's eyes were full of gold stars, and it took a while to relieve his breath,
He collapsed on the ground and looked at the purple qi in the sky, gasping and saying intermittently: "My name is Zi Lingxiao, a native of Langya Tiantai." Because of his infinite strength, he has always made a living from logging, and by chance, I rescued an official lady from the robbers, and then I made a private decision for life. ”
"We finally found Miss's home after a lot of hardship, and her parents disliked me as a low-level commoner, so they locked Miss up and sent someone to hunt me down. ”
"I finally escaped from the encirclement to the Central Plains, because of hunger, I wanted to eat some tribute in the Temple of Wealth, but I didn't expect that as soon as I climbed on the roof, I fell down directly, strangely, I don't know when there was a big pit underground, and I happened to fall into the pit, there are a lot of stones and metals at the bottom of the pit, and my waist and legs are still in pain. ”
A young man named Xiao Sheng raised a lantern to shine at the bottom of the pit, not only shouting: "Look, the bottom of the pit is not stone, but silver." ”
Everyone left Zhao Gongming and surrounded him, and sure enough, the bottom of the pit was full of jewels, and a small pile of silver emitted fluorescent light in the night.
Everyone tied the rope around the waist of Cao Bao, the skinniest, and then slowly lowered it into the pit and threw a sack. After a while, Cao Bao shouted at the bottom of the pit: "Pull it up."
Everyone worked together, and after a few clicks, they pulled the sack up and untied the mouth of the sack, and sure enough, it was silver. Someone took out a large scale from the temple, and after weighing, they not only looked at each other. Three hundred and sixty-five taels, not bad.
Wang Quanyuan, who runs a pickle shop, stretched his neck and said loudly: "Those who see it have a share, let's divide the silver, right? ”
Li Zheng said angrily: "A few days ago, everyone discussed the matter of pooling money to build the Temple of the God of Wealth, but you refused to pay and made a fuss. Now silver automatically appeared behind the Temple of the God of Wealth, and it happened to be three hundred and sixty-five taels. It should be used to build the temple of the God of Wealth. You are also greedy and greedy, are you really not afraid of retribution?"
Wang Quanyuan laughed and said, "Where is there any retribution? If you don't share this kind of ownerless silver with everyone, do you want to embezzle it yourself?"
Li Zhengqi's whole body trembled, and he slapped the case and said loudly: "God gives money, and you can only build a temple." Whoever dares to fight the idea of this silver tael again is the public enemy of the whole village. ”
Then some villagers shouted: "Yes, Wang Quanyuan is the public enemy of the whole village, and the last time I bought his pickles, I actually ate a few maggots." ”
Then there was a lot of shouting.
Cao Bao's shout came from the bottom of the pit: "What are you fighting for? When you see the silver, you forget that Lao Tzu is still in the pit? Pull me out quickly." ”
Li Zheng came to his senses and hurriedly commanded the villagers to pull Cao Bao out of the pit.
Then he turned to look at Zhao Gongming and said: "Today is the birthday of the God of Wealth, and those silver should be the belongings of the God of Wealth, are you the reincarnation of the God of Wealth? ”
Zhao Gongming rubbed his buttocks and smiled: "If I were the God of Wealth, how could I be so tattered and have no food and clothing? ”
Li Zheng took out a few steamed buns shaped into a longevity peach from the basket and threw them to Zhao Gongming and said: "Eat quickly, you are really blessed, these are all dedicated to the God of Wealth, but let you eat first, and when you get to the main hall, you will kowtow to the gods more." ”
Zhao Gongming stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth and devoured it for a while, and muttered vaguely in his mouth: "Kowtow to the God of Wealth? Well, I am the best at kowtowing." ”
Li Zheng packed up the silver taels and led everyone to the Temple of the God of Wealth, when the sky was already bright. A ray of sunlight shone into the hall, making the originally gray God of Wealth shine brightly.
Everyone is wondering if they have missed the time to receive the God of Wealth.
Chen Jiugong suddenly shouted: "Look, the God of Wealth has changed,"
Everyone looked up, and sure enough, the god of literature and wealth, who was originally wearing a crown and holding ingots with a kind face, slowly distorted and deformed under the gaze of everyone, and finally became a black-bearded and black-faced, cornucopia in his left hand, a wishful whip in his right hand, a cash cow in his arms, and a god of wealth who climbed the mountain across the tiger.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing. There was such a strange thing in front of everyone's eyes, and the people couldn't hold it anymore, so they all knelt on the ground one after another, shouting in a mess: "God of Wealth bless, let us have a wide range of wealth, prosperity and tranquility."
Chen Jiugong was not busy kneeling down, but respectfully placed the tribute on the table, and then squinted at the mighty and fierce Martial God of Wealth and grinned: "God of Wealth, where must I have seen you?" That feeling, that feeling is like seeing my eldest brother." ”
