Seeing Nanfeng nodding, the pig demon walked to the corner of the wall and hugged a jar there, "My lord, you take office, Lao Huai and I don't have any gifts to honor you, find a way to get a jar of water and wine, and talk about it." ”

"I have a heart, I have a heart," Nanfeng said casually, "I'm new here, and I can't find the way to many things, so I have to ask the two of you." ”

The pig demon put the wine jar on the desk, turned and retreated, "My lord, if you have any questions, just ask." ”

Nanfeng thought for a moment and asked, "How will I eat in the future?"

Nanfeng himself felt that this question was very naïve, but he didn't think that the pig demon and the tree spirit were not surprised, and he must have asked similar things before.

The pig demon took a step forward and arched his hand and said, "My lord, you are a fairy spirit, no more than mortals, you can't eat grains, but if you have food to support, you can only absorb its aura." ”

Nanfeng frowned when he heard this, "Isn't that similar to a ghost?"

"No, no, no," the pig demon waved his hand repeatedly, "there is still a difference, you can eat and breath, and you feel that it is not much different from the taste of mortals, but ghosts can't." ”

Nanfeng pointed to the jar of wine and asked, "I can only smell this wine?"

The dryad didn't talk much, and most of the questions were answered by the pig demon, "Yes, adults have no flesh, they can only taste the smell of wine." ”

"What would I do if I couldn't eat or drink?" asked Nanfeng again.

"It's not going to be anything, it's just hunger, and it doesn't hurt the roots. The pig demon replied.

Nanfeng thought for a while, and then asked, "You have been on an errand since here, do you have a fortune?"

The pig demon shook his head, "No." ”

Seemingly knowing what Nanfeng would ask next, after the pig demon finished speaking, the tree spirit took the initiative to say, "We are aliens, since you are on an errand, and if we have your protection, there will be no Taoist monks to arrest us." ”

Nanfeng nodded, and the two of them helped the land run errands, to put it bluntly, they were looking for a life-saving backer.

"Where do you get your food from?" asked Nanfeng again.

"Find some for yourself. The pig demon said, pointing at the tree spirit, "Lao Huai can eat and drink dew, and his life is better than mine." ”

Nanfeng was very unhappy, "The land is the main god of one party, you run errands for the land, how do you have to find food and drink by yourself?

"Lord Wang is a clean official, and he still has a clean breeze on his sleeves......"

Without waiting for the pig demon to finish speaking, Nanfeng interrupted it, "He is a Qing official, I am not, you can follow me with peace of mind in the future, and I can't treat you badly if you eat and drink." ”

The two of them were overjoyed when they heard this, bowed their hands, and thanked them repeatedly.

"Not to mention that I forgot, what crime did that Lord Wang commit?" Nanfeng asked.

Hearing this, the pig demon looked at the tree spirit, and the tree spirit wanted to speak and stopped, and after hesitating, he whispered, "Dereliction of duty." ”

Nanfeng was tired from sitting, and raised his right foot to step on the seat, "What is the dereliction of duty?"

Tree Spirit Nuonuo, "This, this, you weren't in front of the Qianyang Gate a few days ago...... The king did not stop him, and he was convicted. ”

"It's because of me for a long time, so what do I do, is he in charge?" Nanfeng asked with a smile, he fought with the Yuqing Dao people, how could a land lord intervene.

"That being said, but you know some things. The dryad said half of it and then stopped talking.

"That's it, let's not talk about him," Nanfeng pointed to the two of them, "don't stand still, drag two chairs over, let's drink." ”

The two of them resigned in panic until Nanfeng stared, and then they left.

The pig demon and the tree spirit belong to the alien species, they can eat and drink, they drink directly, the south wind is to take it up and smell it, unlike the sacrifices enjoyed by the ghost, the food and wine that he has enjoyed have no taste, and after smelling it, it can only be splashed.

Nanfeng is young, and he doesn't have much of a fight, so he quickly mingles with the two, and after they get acquainted, the two are less restrained, and they talk a lot more casually, and they have to answer Nanfeng's questions.

After drinking a jar of wine, you know almost everything you need to know.

Let's talk about myself first, the land has no ontology, it can't be seen by mortals, and if you want to appear, you can only possess people, and it's usually a dream.

In addition, although the land lord does not have a body, he is not afraid of the sun, can travel day and night, and can also move mortal objects.

Speaking of land duties, the land is a thankless errand, all matters related to people's livelihood in the jurisdiction are under the management of the land, to be precise, all the things that the government has not done well are under the management of the land, and the land cannot interfere with the affairs of the government.

Chang'an is a big city, but all cities, there are city gods, although the city god official rank is smaller than the land, but the power is greater than the land, to investigate the merits, to distinguish right from wrong, to increase or decrease the number of life, to cut the blessings, these are the power of the city god, of course, there are some things that the city god itself can not decide, but also have to be reported level by level, by the higher level of the underworld officials to decide.

The Yangjian government plus the city god covers almost all matters of people's livelihood, and the land is actually nothing to do, the biggest role is to be a scapegoat, and there is nothing to do on weekdays, and if something really happens, it will be dragged out to block the gun.

Fortunately, although the earth immortal is small, it is an immortal after all, even if there is a mistake, it will not enter the yin, usually after a few whips and then sent to the poor countryside where rabbits do not, the worst thing is to cut off the immortal book and re-enter the reincarnation.

In addition to people, the land is also responsible for managing the aliens in the territory, and the ghosts are not in charge of the land, they are under the control of the city god, but the aliens are in the yang world, and they are under the control of the land.

For the aliens, it is not that they can be managed, some aliens are shallow, and the land can be held, but some aliens who are advanced and profound, and the land cannot be held, then it will be unlucky, and they will be countered by the aliens, and they will come and go when they are called, like slaves.

For those aliens who obey the dispatch, the land can affix an official seal to their foreheads, and the aliens who have the official seal cannot leave the jurisdiction where the land is located, whether it is a monk or a Taoist priest or a god in the sky, they cannot be harmed and subdued at will, which can be regarded as giving the land a little useful power.

Moreover, due to his humble status, the land has no power to go to heaven, and the white cloud given by the heavenly court only allows the land to turn around within its own jurisdiction.

The land is under the unified jurisdiction of the Imperial Officials' Court, there is no top boss, and the constraints on them mainly come from the day and night gods, the night gods, the time and the sun, the moon, and the year, these six heavenly officials are equivalent to the mortal inspectors, and the supervision of the land is only a part of their ministry, and the responsibilities of the day and night gods and the four gods overlap with the city gods, and they are also responsible for recording the merits and faults of mortals, but unlike the city gods, they will report what they see and hear to the heavenly court, in addition to the Yin Division, the heavenly court also has the power to increase or decrease the longevity of mortals。

Most of the above are what the land should do and can do, and what the land can't do. The second is to bend the law for personal gain, and some land guilds will be placed in the place where they were alive, and they must also treat their relatives and relatives in the yang world equally, and they cannot show favoritism and give benefits.

Zhu Lao Er and Lao Huai only said these two, but the previous heavenly official said four, and two are those who leave their posts without permission and cannot oppress their colleagues, and the aliens who are subjugated by the land cannot leave the jurisdiction, but the land can, of course, the so-called can, just say that the land is not limited by the jurisdiction, but it does not mean that they can run around, and leaving the jurisdiction is leaving their posts without permission.

For colleagues, it is undoubtedly the city god, the power of the city god is so great, it is good not to oppress the land, how dare the land to oppress others.

However, there is no absolute, the same is land, and it depends on what kind of land it is, other land may not dare, but he may not necessarily.

Seeing that the wine jar was empty, Nanfeng got up from his seat, "Go, go out with me." ”

"Where are you going?" asked Pig Er.

"Go to town. Nanfeng said.

"My lord, it's Chenghuang's territory, let's not go. "The second pig is a little afraid.

"Damn, this 300-mile radius is all our territory, let's go. "The south wind goes first.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Lao Er and Lao Huai could only follow.

When they arrived at the ground, Nanfeng pointed to the old temple Zhu Chong and asked, "Can he see you?"

"He's blind. Pig Er said.

Lao Huai knew what Nanfeng wanted to ask, and added on the side, "No, we have the mark of the land, as long as we have the heart to hide, they won't be able to see us." ”

"That's good, let's go. Nanfeng waved his hand.

The three of them left the Land Temple and walked to Chang'an, and while walking, Nanfeng thought carefully in his mind, Heavenly Court sent him to Chang'an to take charge of the land, which seemed to be fair, but in fact it was a trap.

There are many people here whom he knows, and there are also enemies, and it is easier to find fault with him if he is sent here, but if he is sent to a poor country, it is not so easy to find fault with him.

In this case, the more forbearance you have, the more presumptuous the other party will be, as long as the other party has any signs of bullying and provocation, you must immediately return the color, as much as possible to make things bigger, the contradiction in the early days of the term of office is more beneficial to yourself than to stabilize the conflict for a period of time, if the matter is publicized, the other party will not escape the suspicion of deliberate murder and retaliation.

can make the other party scruples, and life will be better.

At this time, it was late afternoon, and the three of them entered the city incognito, and the south wind did not go out, but went to the broken temple first.

There are pedestrians on the street, and the south wind can see them, but they can't see the south wind, and they come and go on their own, and at first the south wind will avoid it, and when they get used to it, they will not avoid it, and let the pedestrians pass by.

At first, it felt very novel, but then it felt that it was not like that, and at this time I had become an outsider and no longer belonged to the mortal world.

The ruined temple was gone, and the fat man and the others were gone, leaving only thick ashes scattered in the wind.

Previously, he had asked the fat man and others to take his body to Uncle Wang, and asked Uncle Wang to try to save it, and now the fat man and the others should have rushed to the south country.

People often say that things are not people, but now things are not people, the broken temple is gone, the people are gone, and the only thing left is the memory in the mind.

Seeing Nanfeng standing in front of the ruins in a daze, he was silent for a long time, and the second pig stepped forward and spoke carefully, "My lord, this is your old house?"

Nanfeng nodded, some things take time to react, just like the first thing you feel after being hit hard is numbness, and then you feel pain.

Fortunately, he is not a sentimental person, he has eight volumes of heavenly books in his hand, and he has to keep the original spirit, as long as he is carefully planned and prepared, regrets can always be made up, and what he has lost will be able to be found again one day.

Thinking of this, Nanfeng turned to walk, and at a glance found a large pile of ashes on the side of the road, this pile of ashes was blackened in color, and there were bamboo strips and foil residues in it.

"What about the things that were burned for me?" Nanfeng looked at the second pig.

"I haven't seen it. The second pig shook his head.

Nanfeng looked at Lao Huai again, "What they burned me, should I receive it?"

Lao Huai nodded.

"Where's that thing?" asked Nanfeng.

The two looked at each other when they heard this, and then turned their heads to look at the Yin Qi Palace in the city.

"Let's go, go to the City God Temple......"
