Chapter 014: The First Seven Sayings
Seeing the two of them talking and rolling up their sleeves and preparing to fight, Cheng Xiaoyan yelled: "You two are enough, Gu Ze, what do you think of me, I seem to have wronged you as if I have wronged you, you think I am rare!"
"Girl, you're right, this little bastard isn't a good thing!" I don't like to see him squeamish.
"Don't talk about others, you're pretty much the same, I'm nineteen years old, you still have to care about what friends you make, hum!" As soon as Cheng Xiaoyan said me, she entered the door and "touched" the two of them outside.
"Boy, look at you, you my good daughter." Cheng Gang turned his head and glared angrily at Gu Ze.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's obvious that you restrict the freedom of other people's lives that made her mad." Gu Ze was not to be outdone.
"Do you still want to practice?" Cheng Gang rolled up his sleeves and said as if demonstrating.
Gu Ze also took off his coat and said: "Old thing, don't think I'm afraid of you, I just let you go, believe it or not, I'll settle you in minutes."
"The little bastard has a big mouth, so let's try it?"
"The old thing is not small, try it!"
The two of them were blushing and their necks were thick, and the door opened with a "creak", and Cheng Xiaoyan poked her head out angrily, her eyes glaring at the two of them fiercely.
"Humph!"
Seeing this, the two snorted at each other and turned around at the same time.
"Xiaoyan, I'll go first, I'll come to play with you another day, if your father doesn't let you out by then, we'll go to the police station to sue him." Gu Ze picked up his clothes, made a flying kiss to Cheng Xiaoyan in Cheng Gang's bloodshot eyes, turned around and slipped away.
"This kid is upside down, I'm so angry, if he didn't run fast, I would have to break his legs!" Cheng Gang gritted his teeth and said.
"Neither of you is a good thing, make your own dinner!" After Cheng Xiaoyan finished speaking, she went into the house to watch TV, and her mother went back to her parents' house to visit relatives in the past two days, so she and Cheng Gang were left, and as soon as she went on strike, the matter of cooking naturally fell on Cheng Gang's head.
"Daughter, Dad, this is for your good, now there are many bad people in this world, we are all honest farmers, you have to be careful, don't you like to watch idol dramas or something, Gu Ze's little white face is the standard bad guy look, snatching love with a horizontal knife, starting from chaos and abandoning at the end, the collection of losers is like this, Dad's hard work, you have to be considerate"
Cheng Xiaoyan suddenly interrupted his father and said: "Then you mean that I will have to find someone who is ugly, stupid and has no money in the future, the second fool in the village is the standard candidate in your mind, or I will marry him in the future?"
"Well, this is not good, we have to find someone who is handsome, smart, honest, rich, and dedicated to feelings." Cheng Gang quickly dispelled his daughter's dangerous thoughts, if his daughter really married the fool in the village, he would definitely go crazy!
"Dad, I think you're the one you've watched too many idol dramas, go and pull out one of these people for me to see!"
Gu Ze didn't know that Cheng Gang was still sparing no effort to slander him, and after rubbing the panda eyes on his face with mana in frustration, he began to wander around the countryside again.
Gu Ze also figured out that the reason why the land lord was enthusiastically worshiped by people in the past was due to the problem of demand, in the past, the farmers were watching the sky to eat, and the harvest would be good in good seasons, and if the harvest was not good, they would starve, so they naturally hoped that the gods would bless the wind and rain.
But now, except for a few poor mountainous areas with inconvenient transportation, there are very few farmers who can't eat enough, there are reservoirs and pumps in drought, and there are greenhouses in cold weather, even if the harvest is really bad, you can go to the city to work and make money and not starve, so the demand for gods is reduced, you can live, and the heart of asking God and Buddha is naturally light.
Times have changed, although there are many people who ask God to ask the Buddha now, but the crowd has changed, at this time it is no longer the peasant class who like to worship God, but those dignitaries who want to be promoted and make a fortune, they will not worship the land lord, but the great god who can make them promoted and make a fortune, so few people go to worship such a small temple as the land temple, they are all in a dilapidated appearance, according to Zhang Chunyuan, several land lord neighbors next door to Guze are similar to his current situation.
Gu Ze wants to cultivate with the power of faith, he doesn't want to cultivate for decades to grow a little bit, but no one wants to believe in a small god like him, so he is very entangled, seeing that he has great resources but can't use them, his mood can be imagined.
Gu Ze thought as he walked, and after a long time, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he had an idea
After dark, Gu Ze ran away again amid Luo Yin's nagging and continued to go to a friend's house to play!
"Is it ready?" When Gu Ze came to the underground office, he called a few ghosts and asked.
"What's that?" Zhang Chunyuan and the others didn't understand a little.
"Yue Lao's thing, let you collect the evidence, do you understand the evidence, don't tell me that you didn't get it?" Gu Ze said.
"Oh, that's it, don't worry, sir, we have already solved this little thing." After Zhang Chunyuan finished speaking, he waved his hand, and Liu Quan floated away, and came back with a large stack of books and magazines after a while.
Gu Ze took it and inspected it, and praised: "Good job, at home and abroad, there are black and white, the varieties are complete, it seems that the evidence is enough, so where did you get it?" I see a lot of them that are written out of print, and I can't buy them if I want to, right?"
"Master, where do people like us use to buy things, let's go to those otaku's houses and have it, if we are not afraid of too much burning trouble, we can get it back!" Wang Liu said with a smug smile.
After hearing this, Gu Ze expressed his silence to those otaku, the treasured magazine was stolen by a ghost, can you believe it?
"Sir, what are you doing here?"
Seeing that Gu Ze intercepted the most wonderful books, and then burned all the other seals to Yue Lao, a few ghosts asked inexplicably.
"It's enough to burn so much for that old guy, and I'm going to leave basic evidence to investigate and see how the atmosphere in the world is corrupted!" Gu Ze said with a righteous face.
A few ghosts: ""
After the things for the old man were burned, Gu Ze spoke again: "Lao Zhang, Wang Wu, Wang Liu, and Liu Quan will go out with me to inspect the territory, and I will also go to see what those lonely souls and wild ghosts look like." Gu Ze ordered, and several of his subordinates nodded in agreement.
······
"Lord wants to see the hell, this is the best place, there are ghosts here every day, but they are all more honest, we don't care about them!" Liu Quan led the way and took Gu Ze to a cemetery, and introduced with a smile.
Gu Ze slapped Liu Quan on the head and scolded: "Lao Tzu is not stupid, the people in our village are buried here when they die, and you still need to take them!"
This cemetery is more than a dozen acres in size, and the ancestors of the Gu Ze family were buried here after their deaths, but now he knows that the ghost of the old man in the family has already run away from the underworld, and it looks quite moist, of course it will not still be floating in the mortal world.
Thinking of the underworld, Gu Ze asked a little puzzled: "Didn't you say that people will go to the underworld when they die, and the ghosts will often come to us to pick up people, just watch the lonely ghosts and wild ghosts drift around, and don't catch them?"
"Back to the master's words, after the death of the soul begins to leave the body, and now each place in the mortal world does not know how many people have to die a day, the number of ghosts is limited, it is impossible to mention people as soon as they die, they will generally take time to appear within seven days of death, that is, there is the first seven of the saying, when the ghost appears, if the ghost is near the place of death, they will take the ghost away, if the ghost intentionally dodge, or inadvertently go away, the ghost is very busy, and there is no time to look for them everywhere, they will immediately leave to the next location, Those who don't take it away will become lonely ghosts, and even if they are touched by ghosts in the future, as long as they don't make trouble, most of the ghosts will ignore them and leave them to fend for themselves. Wang Liu carefully explained to Gu Ze the origin of these wild ghosts.
Gu Ze summed it up in one sentence, the ghosts and ghosts who just died are obliged to take them to the underworld with a relatively good environment, but if they are delayed because of the ghosts themselves, they do not belong to the category of official affairs, and the ghosts are too lazy to take care of them, so as not to increase their workload, so let them continue to be vagabonds in the world and fend for themselves.
