"Old man, do you have anything to tell us?" Ruruo asked with a smile.

"What can I tell you, I'm just an old man who guards the door, half buried in the loess!" The old man at the doorman said without raising his head, and after a few big mouthfuls, the cigarette had burned to the roots, and he spat a few puffs of cigarette foam, and then tore off a piece of white paper and began to roll the second one.

"Only half?" Mu Yuan suddenly laughed, "Old man, please forgive the boy, I see that you have already gone around the underworld!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the three people in the room had an obvious reaction. Xing Tian had already pulled the sword out of the sword holster, and the crayfish almost smashed the hot water cup in his hand, and the two of them had just gone over there for a walk, and their nerves had not yet relaxed. Assistant Chen was the most gentle, pushed open the door, and stepped out with one foot.

"Well, that's right!" The old man at the doorman nodded, "Ten years ago, the old man should have entered the coffin board, but God pity me, I still have a lonely old woman who has no one to take care of, so he gave me a few years of longevity!" Now I sent my wife away, and I have been here for ten years, accumulating some yin virtue, not asking for a good errand over there, just asking for a good life in the next life! ”

"So, you still have unfinished business when you get old?"

"If the old man dies one day, please talk to the developer here, contribute some money, and bury me and my old woman together, my old woman has a hard life, and she has not enjoyed any happiness in her life, I have to accompany her!"

"Please rest assured, I can promise this!" It is like a neighbor who accepts the way.

The old man at the gate did not nod, but raised his head and looked straight at Mu Yuan.

"Old man, rest assured, with your conscientiousness, I think you will stay here for a long time in the future!"

"Thank you, Venerable!" The old man nodded, then buried his head in rolling up the dry smoke, lit it and took another puff, before slowly saying: "If the affairs of this place are to be solved, it is easy to do, just open up a pure land underground, offer incense for a long time, spread yin wealth, and let the undead be at ease!" ”

After hearing this, Rurulin thought for a while and said, "Let's tear down the unfinished building and turn it into a square, erect a monument in the middle, and surround it with a fountain, is this good?" ”

Hearing this plan, Mu Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and this idea of the neighbor can be described as extremely ingenious. A monument in the middle must be used to guard the city god temple, and the fountain can isolate visitors from the outside, and at the same time, the flowing water can play a role in dissipating evil. As for why to build a square, the reason is simpler, the square can attract popularity, more people, more yang, this is not only the incense to worship the city god temple, but also to form a barrier inside and outside the ghost gate.

Some people may ask, doesn't it necessary to burn paper money and incense and candles for worship? In fact, this is just a ritual, and the real offering is the power of faith.

"Well, that's good!" The old janitor nodded, "Old man, I'll go and pass on a message, there shouldn't be any problem!" ”

Now that the matter was settled, Ruruo got up to say goodbye, and when he reached the door, Mu Yuan turned around again.

"Old man, you seem to know the origin of my pet!" Makihara asked humbly, "Can you tell the kid?" ”

"Huh, you don't know?" The old man's dull face finally showed his expression.

"I don't know!" Mu Yuan nodded, "I met it by chance, and it has been with me since then, but I never know where it came from!" ”

"Alas, His Holiness is really blessed!" The old man at the gate sighed, his face full of envy, "Lao Tzu, when I was over there, I was fortunate to see its appearance, this divine beast is named Bai Ze, and it has always been unruly, and it is easy not to recognize the Lord!" ”

"Thank you!" Makihara arched his hand and stroked Niwa's head affectionately, he finally knew the details of this little guy.

There are four great divine beasts in China, namely the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Xuanwu, also known as the Four Great Divine Beasts of Taoism. But what many people don't know is that there were four spirit beasts in ancient times, namely Bai Ze, Bai Zhen, Qilin and Teng Snake. Whether it is the four great divine beasts, the four great spirit beasts, or other sayings, they all originated from the sun candle and the Taiyin glow recorded on the bronze vessel, which are the holy beasts that were jointly transformed by the Qi of the Yin and the essence of the Taiyin after the opening of chaos, which is basically the ancestor of all beasts, and the legendary Yuan Shi Tianzun is of the same level.

Bai Ze is an animal in Chinese legend, often compared with the unicorn or phoenix, and is regarded as a symbol of the rule of a virtuous ruler. Legend has it that this guy comes from Kunlun Mountain, snow-white, understands human language, understands the feelings of all things, rarely haunts, unless there is a saint to govern the world at that time, he comes to the book, and is an auspicious beast that can make people turn evil into good fortune.

The reason why Muyuan and Master and others failed to connect Niwa and Bai Ze together is mainly because the portrait of Bai Ze in the ancient book album is not single, some look like lions, some look like goats, and none of them are about cats, the only thing that is connected with it is Manluoli's flying cat totem, could it be that Niwa's ancestors once left the Kunlun Mountains to travel to the Changbai Mountains?

I don't know if Niwa guessed Makihara's dirty thoughts, the little tail flicked up, and he slapped Makihara a few times. Its two small eyes stared at the butterfly jade on Mu Yuan's neck, and its small pink tongue kept licking its mouth.

Mu Yuan secretly took out a trace of the fire and fed it to this little guy, it did a good job tonight, and it should be rewarded. As a wisp of smoke erupted from his nostrils, Niwa slouched back into Makihara's pocket and fell asleep.

In the darkness, Makihara suddenly noticed that the 'Taiji' yellow hair on the top of Niwa's head was glowing leisurely, and the fluorescence was very faint, and if you didn't look closely, you thought it was the light reflected by the hair.

"Hey, it's true!" Ruruolin also found out, and muttered: "Legend has it that Bai Ze has horns on his head, which can emit auspicious light and avoid all evils. Mu Yuan, you are really a blessed man! ”

"Hehe, senior brother, it can only be regarded as fate!" Makihara was also a little overjoyed, and gently scratched Niwa's little nose.

"Take good care of it, and when it grows up, it will be a big help!" As if the neighbor said enviously.

If everything in the myths and stories is true, then the ability of this little thing should not be underestimated. Legend has it that when Suzaku joined the dragon, the white tiger, and the Xuanwu to make trouble, Nuwa Niangniang defeated the four divine beasts led by the Suzaku with the help of the four spirit beasts - Qilin, Bai Zhen, Teng Snake and Bai Ze. However, later Bai Ze broke the precepts, was abolished his mana, and lived in the mortal world.

"Foodie!" After listening to Luo Xuanren's mythological story, the crayfish rolled his eyes, "Could it be that its ancestors stole the colorful divine stone used by the female snail to make up the sky, and was thrown down!" ”

The car turned a corner, and the driver glanced in the rearview mirror and said something to Assistant Chen in a low voice.

"Parking in front, it's pretty close to my hotel!" Makihara said with a smile.

"Mr. Mu, I'll send you back!" Assistant Chen was a little embarrassed, and his eyes kept glancing behind the car.

"It's okay, don't worry, I know the situation!" Mu Yuan waved his hand, "Senior Brother Xingtian, after the car behind you misses it, you can get out of the car!" ”

"Okay!" Xing Tian nodded, "Damn, I'm suffocating my discomfort tonight!" ”

The Spring Festival is approaching, the indoor of Rongcheng is empty, Mu Yuan and the crayfish jumped out of the car, talking and laughing into a small alley, not far away, there was a rush of footsteps at the entrance of the alley.
