The sun is shining brightly, and the sky is like a wash.

After entering the courtyard after the City God Temple, the sacrificial ceremony has been placed.

Tan Zhijie, the governor of Jiazhou City, wore a dark blue official uniform and sat on the guest of honor in front of the sacrificial platform.

Liu Liting and Tanji monk were both accompanied by Tan Zhijie, talking and laughing.

"This official heard that Hao Lan Chenghuang was newly appointed, and he worked hard to make the country prosperous, and he found a lot of merits. This 'Moon Festival' is sure to be a blockbuster! It is really gratifying!"

Tan Zhijie is a middle-aged scholar with a round face and a fat face and a gentle appearance. He was born in the current dynasty Tanhualang, has knowledge and skill, governs Jiazhou City prosperously, and is a good official in the hearts of the people of Jiazhou.

Liu Liting smiled and said: "Lord Zhizhou is right, Hao Chenghuang is supplemented, and I and other monks are helping." Jiazhou City will become more and more prosperous, the wind and rain will be smooth, and the people's livelihood will be happy!"

The thirteen prefectures of the Xia Kingdom, and the prefects of the administrative yamen of each county, prefecture, and government are all inextricably linked with the practitioners.

The stability of mortals and civilians depends on the cultivators to subdue demons and eliminate demons. And the more stable the mortal world, the more merit a practitioner will receive. Both sides help each other and benefit each other, and each takes what he needs.

Liu Liting's words not only praised Tan Zhijie, but also praised Hao Lan. After Tan Zhijie heard this, he smiled and said:

"Liu Zhubo is the bridge between this official and Hao Lan Chenghuang, as long as he can help Hao Lan Chenghuang stand firm and stand tall, Liu Zhubo will try his best. Under the rule of this official, we must rely a lot on the hard work of your practitioners. ”

Liu Liting and Tan Zhijie looked at each other and smiled, and after a few polite words, the seats under the sacrificial altar were almost full. The monks who were able to rush back were already seated.

In the entire Jiazhou area, there are about thirty-four or five monks. Due to the different edicts, some are familiar and some are unfamiliar. Each has its own responsibilities and each has its own assignment.

The hour was noon.

Hao Lan was dressed in luxurious red and black sacrificial clothes and solemnly ascended the sacrificial platform.

Bell - bell - bell - bell -

The bronze bell in the inner shrine of the city god was struck three times, and the aftermath was cold and vibrating.

All the people present immediately had solemn faces.

There was silence.

"Haotian is above!"

Hao Lan raised his hands high and prayed sincerely: "Jiazhou, Lugang Mansion of Xia Kingdom, Hao Lan, the city god edict, and the one who leads the edict will be sacrificed by heaven!"

On the sacrificial platform, Hao Lan proclaimed loudly, and behind him was the topaz city god statue of the inner ancestral hall.

The official seal in the hand of the statue is held flat, and the merit pen is raised, and the momentum is solemn.

Zhizhou Tan Zhijie in the audience suddenly frowned slightly, and asked Liu Liting in a low voice:

"This official heard that there is another Wang Chenghuang, who has been resurrected mysteriously, and he still has the edict with him? Why is he not present at this 'Moon Sacrifice' ceremony?"

Liu Liting said indifferently: "Lord Tan doesn't know, that Wang Chenghuang is old and mediocre, and he has not returned for eight days when he went to stay overnight in the Qinglou Pavilion, and what he did is too ridiculous. ”

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Tan Zhijie's face changed slightly in disbelief.

At this moment, the Daijia Temple Ding who was guarding the gate of the inner courtyard suddenly separated from each other.

Wang Chong, Gongsun Zhi, and Zhou Tong rushed in breathlessly.

"Damn, all the horses ran on the street on the spot, delaying the trip, there must be a problem!" Zhou Tong gritted his teeth as he walked.

"Since you've arrived, sit down and talk about it, don't miss the 'Moon Festival'. Gongsun Zhi whispered.

Wang Chong ran so much that his legs were about to break, so he quickly sat down when he found a vacant seat. Zhou Tong and Gongsun Zhi had no choice but to sit down with Wang Chong.

The three of them were a little far away from the altar, as if they were deliberately sitting in an inconspicuous place.

Hao Lan stood on the sacrificial platform, seeing all this, his face was still expressionless, and he began to preach the sacrifice of Haotian this time.

Tan Zhijie, Liu Liting and others all turned around and saw Wang Chong coming in.

"Lord Tan, please see, what is the use of keeping such a mediocre and incompetent person?" Liu Liting smiled lightly.

"What does Lord Liu mean is that this Wang Chenghuang will be deposed?" Tan Zhijie couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Everything is under control. Liu Li Pavilion smiled freely, "Hao Chenghuang's sacrifice is completed, and after the merit is obtained, Lord Shuibo's deposition order will arrive." ”

"I see! Then congratulations to Hao Lan Chenghuang in advance. After the sacrifice, the official set up a banquet to congratulate together!" Tan Zhijie smiled.

Liu Li Pavilion smiled and continued to watch the sacrifice process.

On the sacrificial platform, Hao Lan stood upright in front of the offering table and brushed his hand.

A row of jade foil suddenly appeared on the table.

"Thirty-nine D-level case files!" Hao Lan shouted.

Buzz –

The official seal of the city god draws the jade foil. A moment later, a ray of brilliance bloomed on the merit pen, soaring straight into the sky, inserting into the far end of the clouds, a spectacle.

However, in the blink of an eye, under the tip of the merit pen, a drop of colorful water beads seeped out, like fireworks, swaying and falling on the offering table.

"Merit is complete!" Hao Lan suppressed his excitement and shouted.

Wow......!

All the monks present at the stage applauded happily.

The crystal flame falling from the merit pen is Haotian's 'merit'.

Immediately after, Hao Lan shouted again:

"Twenty-two C-level case files!"

It was still the same scene as before, and the official seal of the city god drew jade foil. The brilliance of the merit pen rushed into the sky again, and after a while, Haotian's 'merit' descended again.

The monks at the table cheered again.

"Nine Grade B case files!" Hao Lan shouted again.

When he shouted this, Tan Zhijie, who was watching the ceremony, couldn't help but applaud:

"Lord Liu, the cumulative achievement of this moon sacrifice has actually exceeded Grade A, which is really gratifying!"

Liu Liting said with a smile: "Also, this time Hao Chenghuang has the ticket to victory!"

With the advent of the 'merit' of the B-level case file, Hao Lan raised his hand and patted the official seal of the city god, and shouted with his head high:

"Chen Zezhuang's bloody case has been solved!

Wow......!!

Everyone present was shocked and excited.

Zhou Tong and Gongsun Zhi, who were sitting at the end of the attendance, already had ugly faces, but when they suddenly heard this, they both jumped up in anger.

"This is our first-class achievement!How did he take it??"

Zhou Tong blew up on the spot, his face was so angry that he shouted:

"No, I'm going to go on stage and reason with this scumbag!!"

Gongsun Zhi hurriedly hugged him and looked back at Wang Chong. saw that Wang Chong seemed to be asleep, sitting with his head buried as if he was sleeping, his head little by little.

"Mr. Wang!!"

Gongsun Zhi was so anxious that he pushed Wang Chong up: "Mr. Wang, you can say something! Our first-class merit was taken away by Hao Lan!!"

Wang Chong rubbed his brows, let his tired spirit come back to his senses, stretched out his hand to the left and right, pulled Zhou Tong and Gongsun Zhi to sit down, and whispered:

"Just look at it, it's mine and mine. No one can take it away!"

Zhou Tong was puzzled when he heard it, but out of respect for Wang Chong, he suppressed his anger and looked at Gongsun Zhi.

Gongsun Zhi pinched his fingers to calculate the trick, but he couldn't figure out the reason, his face was uncertain, and he could only conform to Wang Chong's auspicious luck, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:

"Okay! Let's listen to Mr. Wang and see what happened to Hao Lan!"

At this moment.

As Hao Lan reported the first-class merit, the brilliance on the merit pen was as thick as a child's arm, dazzling and soaring straight to the sky.
