"Request to add a friend ......"

"Application rejection: who?"

Shen Lin replied: "I am ...... City Patrol Guards? ”

"Your friend application has been approved, you have added 'Little Place Big Stove' as a friend, and you can chat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

A small place, a big stove god? …… Has the land become a prince? Shen Lin suppressed the curiosity in his heart and sent a message: "Hello? ”

"You're a city patrol? Not a liar, right? What is the matter of the God of Gabon? ”

"Uh, I'm not a liar! I have something I want to ask ......."

"Okay, bring the red envelope."

"Huh?"

"If you have something to ask, shouldn't you send a red envelope first? Meaning, three or five merit values are fine. ”

Do red envelopes also have merit points? Shen Lin clicked on the red envelope function, and sure enough, he found that merit points could be added to it. He gritted his teeth and sent three merits to the past.

My heart is bleeding......

"It's only three o'clock. I'm in a hurry, you have something to ask quickly. ”

"I'm the new city patrol, I want to ask......" Shen Lin told the small place big stove god all his questions about how to become a city patrol, how to leave the work area, and how the work requirements were defined.

"So that's ......" The big stove god in the small place was silent for a long time before replying, and then he was silent for a while, just when Shen Lin thought that the other party was offline, he suddenly asked, "Where are you now?" Let's talk. ”

"I'm ...... at the Antarctic Hotel"

"Which room?"

“1001…… Is this point convenient for you? Shen Lin asked.

"Wait a minute."

After saying this, the big stove god in the small place no longer replied.

Shen Lin waited for a while, and suddenly all the lights in the entire suite flashed.

Then there was a flicker, a gust of wind in the room, and then the floor began to swell violently, as if it were about to topple. Shen Lin jumped up in shock and took a step back, looking vigilantly at the constantly bulging floor in front of him.

Bursts of earthy yellow light emerged, mixed with a large amount of earth, and a figure slowly emerged from under the floor.

Shen Lin's eyes widened, the person in front of him was an old man with a somewhat hunchbacked back, a long goatee hanging down to his chest, a pair of small eyes shining, a bare head shiny, and wearing a pair of huge-framed reading glasses, the lenses were thicker than the bottom of a wine bottle. Wearing a bright red placket Tang suit, it was very festive.

When the old man emerged from the floor intact, everything in the room was calm and the lights stopped flickering. Shen Lin glanced at it, the floor was intact, and everything seemed to be just an illusion.

The old man looked around the room and then at Shen Lin. I walked to the phone in the room, picked up the phone and dialed the main desk, and then said: "Send a pot of Pu'er tea up, ask for Taetea 7262!" No? …… What about 7572? Then this one! Yes, another flower cake...... No? What's there? …… Well, forget it, a little melon seeds, pistachios, and egg yolk crisp! Okay, yes, send it now. ”

Shen Lin watched in astonishment as the old man finished making the call, then sat down on the sofa by himself, and sighed: "The conditions of the small place are poor, and there is nothing in the star-rated hotel......

"Are you...... Is it a big stove god in a small place? Shen Lin asked.

The old man glared at Shen Lin: "I am the God of the Stove, and you are the new city patrol?" ”

"Yes."

"Is it really Tai Bai Xing who appointed you directly?" The little eyes of the Stove God were full of suspicion.

"Yes......"

"Awesome......" The god of the stove sighed, and his expression eased a lot: "This job is not easy to do, especially in recent years, it has become more and more difficult to do." ”

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the room, and Shen Lin hurriedly went over to open the door, it was the tea and refreshments sent by the waiter.

Shen Lin brought it to the table in front of the Stove God and poured him a cup: "Senior Stove God, can you help me?" ”

The god of the stove squinted and watched Shen Lin pour him tea, nodded and said, "I must help, but what I can help is also limited, it mainly depends on you." ”

He took a sip of tea, shook his head lightly and seemed not very satisfied: "In the early years, the common people still respected us little gods, but now...... Everyone pays attention to the scientific spirit, and life is getting more and more difficult. To tell you the truth, I haven't seen a new Patrolman in ten years. ”

"So long? By the way, you are a former land, and now you are the god of the stove, is this a promotion? Shen Lin asked.

The god of the stove shook his head: "It's down, and the god of the stove can only take care of one family." The land is responsible to all the people in the territory, how can it be raised? ”

"Oh......" Shen Lin didn't shoot his ass, a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, you don't understand the Tao." Seeing Shen Lin's discomfort, the god of the stove explained: "It's the land that I asked to resign, and the reason is very simple, most of the land can't receive incense and merit now, and I can't live my life." The right to be a god of the stove is a little smaller, but as long as you find a good family, you can still get by. ”

Shen Lin understood, according to custom, every time the twenty-third lunar month celebrates the New Year, every household will "quit the stove", also known as the king of the stove. All kinds of delicious food will be placed in the house and offered to the god of the stove, praying that he will say good things to the queen of heaven and bless the family with peace and joy and good luck.

Sometimes there are some small things in the family, such as whose child is frightened, or who has bad luck recently, will also pay homage to the Lord of the Stove and pray for his old man to drive away disasters and avoid disasters, and Shen Lin's mother often does this.

It seems that after the former land lord resigned, he should have found a good family, right? Official? Plutocrat? Just look at the style and tone of his tea, it's not just "get by", right?

"The original city patrol guards, city patrol guards, land lords, and stove princes, all of them were accumulated during their lifetimes, and they were appointed by the Yin Division or the Heavenly Court after their deaths. It's the first time I've seen someone like you who came back from the dead to be a city patrol. The god of the stove ate the melon seeds and sighed: "The orders have not been issued over the years, and we don't know what the policy has become, and everyone is quite bottomless." Now that I see you, I finally breathe a sigh of relief. ”

"What do you mean?"

"It shows that the top hasn't forgotten our little characters, and the fact that a great immortal like Tai Bai Xing personally appointed you is enough to show how much attention he attaches to this matter and to you. I helped you today, and if you get mixed up in the future, don't forget me. The god of the stove said with a smile.

Shen Lin said with a smile: "You are too polite, I am a small character who doesn't understand anything, if you really have a little talent, then you can teach it well." ”

"Young people are very humble...... Yes, today's children, all of them are higher than the sky, they all think they are amazing, and no one cares about them! There aren't many like you anymore. The god of the stove looked at Shen Lin with appreciation.

Shen Lin smiled: "Please ask the seniors for advice." ”

"Well, I'll explain to you the number of errands for our people." The Stove God cleared his throat and said, "Basically, you know, the city patrol guard is responsible for the night patrol work in the district, and it is said that he cannot easily leave the responsible area. However, there are exceptions to special circumstances, such as chasing ghosts and demons, and if it runs out of the North District, you can of course chase it out. However, this can only be considered an exception, and it must not occur three times a month, otherwise it will be punished. You're okay tonight because you're a first-time offender. ”

"I see." Shen Lin nodded.

"If the land is approved, the city patrol can leave the area of responsibility, which is not a violation, but there is a time limit, depending on how long the land has been approved. If you can be a city patrol, you can patrol the entire city, and the specific area should also be according to the jurisdiction of the land. For example, Anqing patrols the city, in addition to the main urban area of Anqing, there are all the towns, mountains, waterways and rivers under its jurisdiction...... If you become a land, not only can you go to Anqing, you can also leave Anqing to go to other places, but you can't go out for more than a month. Beyond this time, you will have to ask for advice from a higher level. ”

"Senior, what is the higher level of land?"

"Actually, it's still land, we all call it the big land, or the city god. The level of the two is equal, but only in the popular big city or very special place, there will be a city god in office, in detail, the status of the city god is a little higher than the land lord. After all, the big city is full of incense and has many benefits, you know? ”

Shen Lin said that he understood, and couldn't help but smile in his heart, among the immortals, there are also those twists and turns in the world.

"The big land and the city god can patrol the world casually, as long as everything is normal in the area under his jurisdiction, it is not a big deal if he doesn't go back. But generally you have to go back once every six months or so, there is no specific regulation for this, but everyone agrees to do that. ”

Shen Lin said: "So how can you become a big land? Are there specific requirements? ”

"Originally, as long as you did your errand well and were supported by the people, the boss or the Yin Si could directly appoint you. There are no direct requirements for this kind of appointment, but now it's different, no one cares about us little gods anymore, you can only go through the normal procedure. ”

The god of the stove took out his mobile phone from his arms, looked at it for a while and said, "I haven't seen it for many years, and I forgot it...... The promotion of a city patrol guard to a city patrol guard requires a merit value of 500 points and an incense value of 50 points. To patrol the city and guard the promotion of the land, it is necessary to have a merit value of 5,000 and incense to 500. The promotion of land to large land requires 50,000 merit and 5,000 incense. The promotion to the city god requires 60,000 merit values and 6,000 incense. ”

When Shen Lin heard these numbers, his face turned green: "So much?" ”

"It's hard to say, it's easy to say...... In the past, there were few people, and the value of incense was not easy to save. There are more people now, but everyone doesn't believe you anymore, and the value of incense is still not good. But over the years, everyone has begun to believe again, do you see how prosperous the incense of Buddhism is? There are difficulties, but there are also solutions! I'm too old to toss, you're young, what are you afraid of if you suffer more? ”

"What the predecessors said is, it's just that I don't understand it very well, this merit value seems to be something that can be obtained by subduing demons and catching ghosts, but how to get the incense value? I overtook one ghost that day, and I got a little incense, but then I overtook the others, and there was no more. ”
