Chapter 52: Becoming the Examiner

I saw Lord Zhong Kui, coming boldly, walking with the wind, to be honest, his skin was really black, and the black was a little scary.

I began to mumble in my heart, since I was the lord of the land, he has embarrassed me, and when I arrived at the city god, I have become a little priest. If you want to be the examiner, I guess it won't make me feel better.

Cui Fujun looked at Zhong Kui coming over, but also said calmly: "Lord Zhong Kui, is there anything wrong with Lord Zhang?" ”

Lord Zhong Kui said: "Fujun, do you think that recruiting the city god is a trivial matter, so you will let him be the chief examiner, a county city god is not to mention that he is also in charge of more than 100,000 life and death, this matter will definitely not sit idly by and watch you fool around." ”

Lord Zhong Kui, with a serious face, looked at the iron face selflessly.

Cui Fujun said lightly: "Lord Zhong Kui, you dissipate your anger, this official is not chosen casually, it is a decision made after careful consideration, this time the selection of the city god of Yuan'an County, in fact, there are a total of three examiners. This Lord Zhang is just one of them. ”

These words made Zhong Kui's expression soften a little.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart, I didn't seem to have a grudge with Zhong Kui, and stopped me three times and twice.

Zhong Kui said to Cui Fujun: "What about the other two? ”

Cui Fujun said: "One is Yang Xingyou, the city god of Linxian County, Yuan'an County, Lord Yang is also one of the chief examiners, and the other one has not been selected yet, I don't know if Lord Zhong Kui has anything to recommend." ”

Lord Zhong Kui stared at me before he spoke: "Fu Jun, this other chief examiner, this official is personally responsible. ”

When these words fell, we were all stunned.

Cui Fujun was also stunned for a while, and said, "Lord Zhong Kui, aren't you kidding?" ”

Zhong Kui snorted and said, when have I ever joked.

I just said that I had a bad premonition just now, but now it has really come true, and Zhong Kui is obviously targeting me. Cui Fujun laughed awkwardly a few times and said, "It would be better if Lord Zhong Kui played in person." ”

I saw that the matter had almost been done, so I said to Cui Fujun: "Lord Fujun, Lord Zhong Kui, if there is nothing to do, the next official will leave." ”

Cui Fujun said: "Okay, the selection time, the official will let the little ghost inform you when the time comes." ”

I said okay. Turned away and took a few steps. Cui Fujun suddenly stopped me and said to me, "By the way, Master Zhang, say hello to Daoist Qiu on my behalf." ”

I hummed, left the underworld, and returned to the yang world, and found that it was almost night, and I thought to myself, has it been so long? Xiao Wanwan stayed next to me, looking at the book, I stared blankly for a few seconds, her focused expression was really charming.

Xiao Wanwan probably found out that I woke up, so she asked me, "What are you looking at?" ”

Inexplicably, I was a little flustered, so I clumsily replied that I was reading. Xiao Wanwan pulled her hair behind her ears, smiled and said, "You have to show you." As she spoke, she handed it to me, and I smiled and said, "I still don't want it."

Xiao Wanwan said that this book was given to her by Daoist Qiu, so that she could read it carefully.

I said to Xiao Wanwan, then you should look good. Xiao Wanwan and I looked at each other for a few seconds, and then smiled at each other.

I asked Xiao Wanwan, where did Daoist Qiu go?

Xiao Wanwan said that it should be in the room, he said, let you go to see him when you wake up.

I hummed, and when I went out the door, I walked towards Daoist Qiu's room, I knocked on the door, and Daoist Qiu let me in.

I pretended to have something in my heart, and when I went in, I told Daoist Qiu. Daoist Qiu always looked calm, as if he had a fortune in his chest, and nothing could escape his eyes. He smiled and said to me: "Zhong Kui, who is shameless and shameless, is embarrassed to be the chief examiner." ”

I said to Daoist Qiu: "Lord Zhong Kui seems to have always had an opinion about me, this time he came to be the chief examiner, should it be to target me?" ”

Daoist Qiu quickly said to me, Zhang Yan, look at your little bit of interest, you are now a little Sidian, what are you afraid of him doing? He's just a big priest, and you're not in the same office, so he can't control you.

Think about it too.

I asked Daoist Qiu, "What is your purpose in making me the chief examiner?" And you said that the old man's soul would come back to me, but he hasn't come back yet.

Daoist Qiu was stunned for a few seconds, and said: "Zhang Yan, Poor Dao now finds that you like to nag more and more, there are some things, I will tell you when the time comes." ”

I looked at Daoist Qiu with puzzled eyes, and Daoist Qiu continued, Do you still want to return the favor for your master. I said of course I do. Daoist Qiu said, if you want to, just listen to me.

I hummed.

In the early hours of the morning, I and Daoist Qiu and Xiao Wanwan Cao Tianshi four people left from the hotel, in the early morning is the third watch, there are generally no people on the street at this hour, Daoist Qiu took us to the front, walked for about a quarter of an hour, and saw a bunch of people in front of him.

Everyone was talking, but when I looked at it, I knew that most of the people in front of me were not alive.

When we got closer, we saw a notice posted on a tree in front of us, to the effect that Yuan'an County was recruiting city gods, and there were many land lords wearing official uniforms, all of whom came from all directions.

Someone said: "I heard that there are three examiners in this prefectural selection. Lord Yang from Linxian County is one of them. ”

Someone else answered: "What's that, I heard that Lord Zhong Kui is here in person this time, and we all have the opportunity to meet Lord Zhong Kui." ”

At this time, a land lord asked, "What about the other one?" ”

I looked at this group of people, in addition to the land lord, there were also some living people, old men and old ladies or something. In addition, there are some souls, who are not wearing official uniforms, and look like lonely souls, but the land lord has not hooked the soul, it stands to reason that the land lord manages the soul of one side, how can he let the soul wander outside.

I asked Daoist Qiu, and Daoist Qiu explained: "These people you see, wearing official uniforms, are naturally the land lords, and those old men and old ladies are the local duangong, goddesses, and fortune tellers. In addition, there are some lonely souls, these lonely souls were considered great good people in their lifetimes, so this time the underworld let them come over to run for the position of city god. ”

Cao Tianshi looked at the hot eyes from the side, and couldn't help muttering, "Dao Chief, am I really not qualified?" ”

Daoist Qiu said lightly, you are not qualified. Saying that, Daoist Qiu also said to Cao Tianshi in a ridiculous tone, you are all Heavenly Masters, what kind of city god should you be.

Cao Tianshi's face was red when he was said, so he had to shut up.

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted, "Does any of my colleagues know who the third examiner is?" ”

Soon someone replied, "It seems to be the new little priest of the Good Reward Division." ”

"Have you seen it? What does it look like? How is it to be a person? "Someone asked three questions in a row.

The person who answered him continued: "This is not clear, but this little Sidian is quite mysterious, I'm afraid it is a great big man, I heard that he was promoted to the small Sidian, and he has never been to the underworld. ”

After these words, everyone was in an uproar.

Then someone broke the news that Xiao Sidian was directly promoted from the City God, and the whole process was only a month.

Everyone was having a lot of fun, but I blushed a little, what kind of ability did I have, and it was not the result of Daoist Qiu's help. And after Cao Tianshi learned that I was the chief examiner, he looked at me with resentment, probably blaming me for not helping him become a city god after becoming the chief examiner.

I pretended I didn't know anything.

At this moment, a few familiar figures came in the distance, it was someone from the Song family who came, Song Dechang had a smile on his face, and after seeing us, he glanced at us with contemptuous eyes, and said: "Just because you also want to run for the city god, I advise you to save it." ”

Cao Tianshi quickly replied, "We can't run for election, can you?" You old fellow don't pee and look in the mirror to see what virtues you have. ”

Song Dechang's grandson quickly stood up and said, "When I look back and wait for my grandfather to become the city god, it will be better for you." ”

"Oh, he can be the city god, then hell." Cao Tianshi said angrily.

"Let me tell you the truth, Lord Yang is my grandfather's godfather......"

After these words landed, Song Dechang immediately reprimanded and said, "Wenzhe, don't talk nonsense." Retire. ”

Song Wenzhe quickly closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Song Dechang glanced at us, his eyes seemed to care for the mentally retarded, and the expression on his face was like saying that he should be the city god of Yuan'an County this time.

They went up to look at the notice.

Cao Tianshi said, look at their virtue, Zhang Yan, you must remember not to let him be elected.

Daoist Qiu made a gesture of silence.

The notice is also about the same, before leaving, I looked at the time and place, tomorrow night three watch, the location is Yuan'an County City God's Temple. Daoist Qiu said, let's go to the martial house now, and I said okay. When they arrived at the Wu Mansion, Wu Chenshu and Wu Minxin were guarding the coffin.

When he saw us coming, he greeted us.

Wu Chenshu finally asked us unwillingly, is there really no way to save my grandfather?

I glanced at the coffin, paused for a few seconds, and then I suddenly felt a little strange, and I walked towards the coffin. Daoist Qiu dragged me down, and I said what's wrong? Governor. Daoist Qiu shook his head at me. I stopped my steps, and Daoist Qiu said to Wu Chenshu that the boat would naturally go straight to the bridge, and some things should be put down.

Daoist Qiu said to Wu Chenshu: "Your sisters and brothers are keeping vigil here at night, if you see anything that surprises you, don't tell anyone, the vigil can only be your sister and brother." ”

The two looked at Daoist Qiu curiously and asked why.

However, it is in vain to ask, and Daoist Qiu will not say it at all. They agreed, and we left the house.

The time soon came to the early morning of the next day, the city god temple in Yuan'an County became extremely lively, but these lively ordinary people can not feel it, after we arrived, Song Wenzhe came over and mocked us and said: "You crooked melons and cracked dates are really embarrassed to run for election, although you don't look good?" But you're a good little lady, otherwise, if you follow me, I'll guarantee you endless glory and wealth in the future, how about it? Little lady. ”

I stepped forward and shoved him and told him to get out.

Song Wenzhe pointed at me and said angrily: "When my grandfather becomes a city god, I will have your good fruits to eat." ”

After we entered, we saw a table and three chairs inside, and at this moment, someone shouted, "Lord Yang Chenghuang Yang has arrived." Then he saw Yang Xingyou walking in in bright clothes, and the people around him greeted him, and he sat up proudly. Song Dechang looked at Yang Xingyou excitedly.

About ten minutes later, someone shouted that Lord Zhong Kui of the Great Si Hall had arrived!

This shout brought the atmosphere to its peak, and everyone called for Lord Zhong Kui, but Zhong Kui ignored it. Zhong Kui sat down in the middle.

Then everyone talked about why the other examiner couldn't come.

Song Wenzhe stared at us angrily, as if he had eaten us. I saw that Master Zhong Kui was here, and I was about to step out. But suddenly I heard Lord Zhong Kui say: "Zhang Yan, the official is here, what are you still rubbing, do you have to ask the official to come up?" ”
