Chapter 56: Qin Jingrong
Pei Shu's body was clean and spotless. Not even a little rain stain on the cement.
His eyebrows are picturesque, his face is like a crown of jade, but he looks more and more cold, and his deep eyes can't see the bottom at a glance.
I didn't expect to meet him here.
Ruan Ling put away the umbrella, put it next to the door, and asked rhetorically, "Why are you here?" ”
From time to time, officials ran past the door, and the people outside were in a mess, and no one noticed the two of them for a while.
Pei Shu stared at her, and a trace of doubt flashed in his cold eyes, "Are you ...... Nguyen Ling? ”
"Good eyes."
Ruan Ling smiled, turned around and walked towards the temple.
Pei Shu glanced at her slender back, put down the umbrella, followed, looked around, and asked casually: "Why did you lose weight so quickly?" ”
"Guess."
Ruan Ling was very perfunctory and did not answer his question directly at all.
When she came in, she exuded her divine sense and searched the temple, but she didn't find the breath of the city god at all.
Odd.
She was suspicious.
With the strength of the City God, even if he is not here, at least he will leave a trace of divine consciousness around the statue.
But at this moment, there is no breath of him at all in the city god, as if this is an empty temple.
This is not normal.
Most likely, something happened to the City God.
What can happen to a god, and a powerful god?
This must not be something that Ruan Ling can solve.
She looked up at the golden and splendourful, majestic and tall statue of the god, turned her head and asked Pei Shu: "Do you know which city god is enshrined here?" ”
"Qin Jingrong." Pei Shu replied succinctly.
Qin Jingrong?
Ruan Ling's heart shook.
She'd heard the name for a long time.
Qin Jingrong was originally a Yuan person, an honest and diligent official, and loved the people, and then Zhu Yuanzhang won the world. repeatedly invited him to join the court as an official, but he sternly refused.
After Qin Jingrong's death, Zhu Yuanzhang still did not let him go, and named him "Xianyou Bo", and he was the main hall of the city of Hexian City.
Zhu Yuanzhang also said: "I am not my minister in life, but I should defend my land in death." ”
It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang is angry about his refusal to be an official.
He could refuse to be an official during his lifetime, but he couldn't refuse to be a god after he died.
Speaking of which, most of the land gods and city gods that the people believe in are some loyal ministers who have merit during their lifetimes, or talented and virtuous people who are admired.
In short, they are all good people in life.
As for Ruan Ling himself......
She was not ordained by someone else, nor was she appointed by her superiors, but was handed down to her by the land gods of the previous generation.
So she has never had a sense of mission, so she just messes around and gets by.
Since the god of the city god was not there, she also relaxed her mind and walked around the temple generously, wanting to find out if there were any clues.
I turned around, even looked at the corner, but found nothing.
In the temple, except for the main god Chenghuang, the rest of the civil and military judges and subordinates were also not there.
That's weird.
Ruan Ling had an intuition that something must have happened to this Qin Jingrong.
She turned around, and returned to the statue of the god in the main hall, and saw that Pei Shu was still standing in place, with one hand behind her back, and raised her chin slightly to look at the statue, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"What are you looking at?" Ruan Ling walked over and asked.
"I'm thinking, where did Qin Jingrong go, why didn't he show his spirit to stop the rain." Pei Shu glanced at her and said lightly.
"I think it's strange too......" Ruan Ling suddenly came back to his senses after speaking, "Why do you call Lord Chenghuang by his name?" ”
"Why, isn't the name called by people?" Pei Shu said, turning and walking out.
Ruan Ling asked, "Where are you going?" ”
