Chapter 21: The City God

The strength that the chief of a county can mobilize is quite terrifying. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Not to mention, he is acting on behalf of the imperial court, and he has the protection of luck, if he asks for an official document and stamps it with the county seal, ordinary mountain spirits and wild ghosts, and even Mao Shen, he can't even get close.

"Looks like you've picked up a great hot potato......"

Wu Ming was a little depressed, but this was the task of the main temple, but he had to accept it.

At that moment, he looked at the sun again, and saw that it was close to noon, so he no longer wandered around, but found a restaurant, and Shi Shiran walked in.

"This son, please inside!"

The restaurant has two floors, with a gilt signboard, and is obviously a time-honored brand.

At this time, as soon as he entered the door, a shopkeeper with a white towel with a lamb's belly on his shoulder stepped forward and greeted him politely: "Is the son a man?" Is it good to sit by the window? ”

"Hmm!"

Wu Ming went upstairs, sat down, his nose moved slightly, and he smelled the aroma of wine and meat, and couldn't help laughing: "Your sauce and meat here seem to be good!" ”

"Naturally, the sauce mutton and sauce beef we have here are a must! Decades of old signboards, but beef is not often available, today's son came by coincidence, a few days ago outside the city Lijiazhuang fell to death of a cow, our owner bought two beef legs back, fresh and spicy...... Do you want to have some? ”

The shopkeeper is quite good at talking, so Wu Ming smiled: "Then come for a catty...... By the way, stir-fry two vegetarian dishes, and then have a pot of wine! ”

"Okay!"

The shopkeeper went down and soon came up with a pot of wine, at this time the food was precious, and the wine was a little cloudy, but fortunately, the degree was low, and the entrance could almost be drunk as a drink.

It didn't take long for the two vegetarian fried to be sent again, green, verdant, with aroma, Wu Ming was hungry for a long time, but at this time he was unhurried, eating and drinking slowly, his movements were meticulous, and he looked like a well-educated family.

"Childe, your sauced beef!"

Halfway through Wu Ming's eating and drinking, another plate of sliced beef was served, the color was dark red, the texture was firm, and the aftertaste was endless when eaten in the mouth, which could be called full of color, flavor and flavor.

"You wait first!"

Wu Ming ate a few chopsticks, and secretly praised it in his heart, and immediately stopped Xiao Er.

"Huh! What do you command? ”

The shopkeeper asked respectfully.

"I'm a foreigner, a newcomer, you Heitai County...... It doesn't seem to be too peaceful lately? ”

Wu Ming didn't seem to have any intention of saying.

"Alas...... Next to that ghost mountain, it is rare to be able to be peaceful......" The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "But the guest officer is right, in the past few months, I heard that many people have died in Heishui Town...... Even the wild monks and Taoist priests invited by the county died a few in a row, and no one dared to go again......"

"Oh? Is there a ghost at work? Wu Ming was in good spirits.

"Who's to say it isn't? Everything on the edge of Montenegro has an evil nature, especially ...... Since the destruction of the Land Temple in Blackwater Town before March......"

The shopkeeper said casually, and then consciously lost his words: "Guest officer, you use it first...... If there is something, just greet the villain......"

I hurried down.

"The Land Temple was destroyed? Is it because of the lack of land? Can't attract the souls of the dead, so something happens? That's not right...... What is a mere town of land? Can the city god just send another one? ”

At this time, I didn't ask much, after all, a shopkeeper could know so much, which was already a bit unexpected for Wu Ming.

After drinking enough at the moment, and spending a few hundred dollars to settle the bill, he walked out.

……

"City God Temple?!"

When he went out, Wu Ming asked for directions, and at this time he came to the front of the City God Temple.

There is a god in this world!

Even here, even in the Great Zhou world, there are also gods.

In ancient times, the Son of Heaven held the authority of the world, had the ability to create lives, and could also rise and abolish middle and lower-level ghosts and gods in sacrifices!

There are many different origins of the gods.

Some are celebrity officials who were blessed during their lifetimes, and have spirits after their deaths, and are worshiped by ancestral shrines.

Some are born elves, and naturally combine with the power of mountains, rivers, and water veins to gain authority.

Others are simply mountain spirits and monsters, ghosts and evil spirits, deceiving fools and fools in the countryside, in order to get incense, fire, blood and food offerings.

In general, the sources are strange, but they must always be recognized by the imperial court, or the priesthood granted by God, before they can be regarded as a positive result, otherwise they will all be regarded as 'obscene shrines and evil sacrifices', and they will be suppressed by the orthodox government.

The city god of Heitai County, naturally the kind of cultivation that has achieved positive fruit, the temple covers an area of several acres, and it has a solemn taste.

It is rumored that the real name of Heitai Chenghuang is Wang Xuanfan, who is a jinshi of the former dynasty, and during the period of the county order in this place, he persuaded mulberry to raise silkworms and clean up politics.

Later, the imperial court raised taxes, this person asked for his life for the people, was exiled, died of illness on the road, and the people of the county felt it, and built a shrine for him, but it was destroyed several times.

It wasn't until this dynasty that the prefect heard about it and went to heaven to listen to it, and asked for a temple to be built to worship.

When Wu Ming arrived at the temple, he saw that on the altar, the statue of the god was like that.

The curtain hangs down all around, the cigarette smoke curls, a good Nanmu desk, on which the four o'clock offerings are enshrined, but in the middle is a clay statue of a middle-aged scribe, wearing a seven-grade official uniform, solemn and solemn, and the eyes seem to be majestic.

Following the customs, Wu Ming also lit incense sticks and bowed a few times.

"Huh?"

In an instant, his brow moved.

Martial arts reached the peak of the True Qi Realm, and the half-step innate made his body sense ten times more than that of mortals, and at this time, he keenly felt the attention of a force.

"Divine power?"

This feeling disappeared in a flash, if it weren't for Wu Ming's mental strength being extremely sharp, he really couldn't have found it.

Of course, even if it is discovered, it is not a big deal.

After all, Yin and Yang have different paths, and it is not so easy for the gods to interfere with the Yang World, especially for a person like Wu Ming, who has almost practiced martial arts to the peak and has strong qi and blood to the extreme.

"Pilgrims stay!"

After donating a penny of sesame oil, Wu Ming wanted to leave, but there was a voice in his ears.

When I looked back, I saw a person dressed as a temple celebrant, standing there with a smile: "What is the pilgrim asking for?" Why don't you come and do a divination? ”

"It's good!"

Wu Ming had no choice but to follow this temple blessing and came to a small table.

"I don't know if the guest officer is asking about marriage? Or is it a future? "Miao Zhu is solemn, it has a bit of aura, and it has a bit of a god stick.

Wu Ming didn't believe in this kind of thing in his previous life.

But at this time, when he came to the world of gods and ghosts, he would rather believe in what he existed than believe in what he didn't have, so he said: "Solve the problem!" ”

"In this case, please feel free to write a word!"

Wu Ming picked up the brush, spread out the blank paper, and wrote the word 'none' at random.

"Huh?"

Miaozhu exclaimed: "There is nothing originally, where is the dust?" According to the face of the childe, there should be no disaster and no disaster, but how can there be such a person in the world? It's really weird! ”

"Childe is looking for a solution ...... problems"

Miao Zhu took out a turtle shell, a few copper coins, and there were words in his mouth, and suddenly the turtle shell was poured, and several copper coins were regularly arranged on the white paper, which complemented the word "none".

"Childe is a god-bestowed, and the future of his life is not something I can look at, but if you only want to solve problems, you can go south to find it!"

Miao Zhu stared, sweat on his forehead, as if it had taken a lot of effort, and reluctantly said.

"South?"

Wu Ming frowned, thinking of the layout of the county at this time, most of them are rich in the east and rich in the west, poor in the north and poor in the south, that is, the eastern and western districts, which are the residences of the official eunuchs and gentry, and the north and south are small people, and even slums.

"Don't believe the words of gods and ghosts, but it's okay to look at them! Just ......"

Wu Ming sneered in his heart.

This county town god seems to treat him as a chess piece, and he wants to be the one who plays chess.

Of course, being able to be used as a pawn finally shows that it is somewhat useful.

Even if it is exploited, it is a little better than exclusion.

"Thank you, sir, I'm leaving!"

Wu Ming finally took a deep look at this temple blessing.

Seeing that this person was shocked, his eyes showed a confused look, and he was even more obscene, and he didn't break it, smiled slightly, threw down a dozen dollars, and strode out.

"Looks ...... Should this be the wrestling between the city god and even the county lord, and another force, or even falling behind, or having scruples, so they have to come to find foreign aid? ”

If it were an ordinary cultivator, if he encountered this kind of karmic entanglement, I am afraid that he would have avoided it long ago, and he would have fled thousands of miles away.

But Wu Ming is different.

As Miao Zhu said before, he has no cause and effect in this life, and is even just a passerby, so what is he afraid of?

What about the county? What about Chenghuang?

If you go against your own way, you can still cut it down!

Of course, at this time, he still needs to borrow strength, and he is not a second-year teenager in later generations, and he shouts at every turn to go against the sky.

It's just that there is more pride in his chest for no reason, and he can't help but groan: "There will be times when the wind and waves will be long, and the clouds will sail into the sea!" ”

"Good!"

Suddenly, a green-shirted gentleman next to him clapped his hands and said, "What a good poem!" ”

Seeing Wu Ming's eyes looking over, his face couldn't help but blush: "This son is invited, in Xia Ye Xiaoyou, accompany his mother to make incense and repay his wishes, seeing that the son is extraordinary, the exit is a chapter, and his heart yearns for it, and he is rude and rude......."

At this time, I saw Wu Ming fifteen or sixteen years old, in a brocade robe, with a face like a crown of jade, and he was even more secretly heartbroken.

"It turned out to be Brother Ye, in Xia Wuming, a foreigner, who traveled here ......"

Wu Ming arched his hand, and when he saw Ye Xiaoyou's back, several carriages were magnificent, and the maids and servants were dressed in clothes, so he knew that this person had a good background.

"Young Master......"

At this time, I saw that the curtain of the car was slightly opened, revealing a pair of bright and kind eyes, and after a while, a golden hairpin was worn, and a beautiful maid came over with the corner of her skirt: "The master mother is already urging ......"

"My mother has a call, I'm really sorry......"

Ye Xiaoyou was embarrassed to bow his hand: "At the mouth of Dongshui Lane, the first family to have two stone lions is ...... If Brother Wu has time, don't forget to come to the younger brother! ”

"Could this man be a rabbit?"

After this person said goodbye, Wu Ming had a chill.

Of course, in ancient times, by plagiarizing ancient poems, it could indeed be used as a stepping stone, but thinking about the overlord and worshipping from all directions is just a dream.
