Chapter 19 Puzzle Clearing
On a cold night, after all things were silent, the flickering firelight in the City God Temple filled all the corners, and the warm people sat on the ground. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Heaven and earth are mutually reinforcing, and all things complement each other, but as the largest human being in this world, it is becoming more and more ignorant." Chenghuang said as he looked at his smashed statue.
In the long history of more than 5,000 years in China, no matter which dynasty and which generation are full of respect for the cow ghosts and snake gods, in order to have the current world, in fact, there are not a few supernatural events that happened to those Red Guards, but they will only regard these as accidents, and will not associate them with the punishment of disrespecting heaven and earth.
"Lord Chenghuang, I, I have something I want to ask you, I don't know if I can?" Ouyang Tairong asked with a nervous face.
Chenghuang may still be remembering the picture of the heyday of incense in his citygod temple, and when he heard Ouyang Tairong's question, he nodded with a sad face.
"If there is really reincarnation after death, then will those people in foreign countries be in charge of your yin cao or foreign gods after death?" Ouyang Tairong was full of surprise after seeing so many ghosts today, and seemed to have some eyebrows in his heart, to be able to confirm the existence of these strange powers that cannot be explained by science, but he still needs some preparation.
"When a person dies like a lamp goes out, and when the lamp goes out, there will always be a puff of green smoke, or heavy, or dim, just like people, since you have seen ghosts, what is the headache of ghosts and gods, believe it, and if you don't believe it, you don't have it." Chenghuang's answer was not only that Ouyang Tairong didn't understand, but even Liu Laodao didn't understand.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chenghuang shook his head, and then continued.
"If the soul believes in Taoism and Buddhism during his lifetime, it is naturally my prefecture that will come forward to take care of it, just like the many souls you see today, if you believe in other doctrines, it is naturally other trading messengers who are responsible for receiving it."
"And what if you don't believe anything?" Ouyang Tairong continued to ask.
"There are thousands of sects, and there are even more powerful evil cultivators, if you want to survive forever, you must have something to rely on. If you really don't believe in anything, then you will be caught by many evil cultivators, and after being caught, it will be nothing more than a death and a god of death, if not, you will also be caught and used as a long-term worker, until the essence is completely gone, and the same is the soul scattered. Chenghuang said lightly.
"If there is an underworld, then there will definitely be a heavenly court, so if the underworld and heavenly court are all there, then wouldn't all the immortals of all roads exist? Then why don't they manifest their spirits," Wang Kai asked with confusion.
Obviously, what Wang Kai wanted to ask was that these immortals even smashed their own temples and destroyed their statues, and none of them came forward to stop them.
"It's just a shuffling world, who will add trouble to himself because of some foolish people?" Liu Laodao didn't wait for Chenghuang to speak, and he preemptively said.
"Humans, ghosts, gods, demons, the most species in this world, live together but they are not as restrained as before, you only know that there are ghosts and gods in this world, but you can't even understand many of the most basic, even I have been a city god for more than 700 years and I know very little, everything is not so real as you see with the naked eye, on the contrary, knowing more is not necessarily a good thing for yourself, you know, it's rare to be confused!" Chenghuang shook his head and said, his tone seemed to be a little self-deprecating.
Jianjun has been sitting by the bonfire to keep warm, listening to everyone's conversation, he didn't say a word, probably thinking that this city god is still relatively easy to get along with, so everyone began to take out delicious food and wine, and pushed the cup to change the lamp in this small city god temple.
The cold wind mixed with some snowflakes blew in from the door, and the army was wrapped around its neckline like a machine, still immersed in the thoughts that had just been said to everyone.
'People, ghosts, gods, and demons' are all known to Jianjun after he met Liu Laodao, but the powerful and evil Jianjun that Chenghuang said has never heard of it from Liu Laodao's mouth, on the contrary, the cave instructions in the book "Ten Thousand Laws Return to the Sect" have been very similar to what Chenghuang said: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent, all things are dogs, evil races are in charge, foreign races are powerful and strong, and they feed on all living beings, and heaven and earth, the world is unconscious, people are the head of all living beings in vain, and God is in vain!" At that time, Jianjun just thought that there must have been a terrifying evil spirit, or a religious people, but now that I think about it, it is not like that at all. Could there be other powerful peoples that humanity cannot know about? However, no matter what Jianjun thought at this time, he would not understand the true meaning of the words and handwriting of Chenghuang and Dongming, after all, he was only a fifteen-year-old child.
At this time, everyone was already drunk, even the young little fat man Wang Kai had drunk a lot, and he was napping on the wall at this time, Liu Laodao and other people were also curled up around the bonfire or leaning on each other, and the slight snoring sound came from whose mouth.
Jianjun looked at the sleeping people, went out to collect a lot of firewood, and filled it into the fire. After last night, Ren Ran didn't feel sleepy, sitting on the side in a daze, thinking about those ethereal thoughts. In the entire City God Temple, the City God, who was still pecking at himself, seemed to notice the Jianjun who was in a daze.
"Little baby, stop thinking nonsense, come and have a drink with my old man." Chenghuang said to Jianjun with some big tongues.
Jianjun was stunned for a moment, and then seemed a little embarrassed to get up and sit next to Chenghuang.
"Lord Chenghuang, I've never drunk alcohol, so let's sit next to you and watch you drink."
"What is this like, I already took two concubines when I was your age, and it would make people laugh if a big man didn't drink!" Chenghuang said as he took an empty cup and poured a glass of liquor for Jianjun.
Jianjun's face turned red, but he reached out and took the wine glass handed over by Chenghuang. With the sound of the doctor clinking glasses, Jianjun drank a large sip of white wine, which directly led to a violent cough, and his face turned even redder.
"The first time I drank, I was still with the gods, and the city god was no wonder." Jianjun said embarrassedly while wiping the wine marks from the corners of his mouth.
"Little doll, don't add to your troubles, thinking about so many things is not good for you, even if everything is clear? A hundred years of life is just a passing moment. "Chenghuang seems to have seen through what he thought before the founding of the army.
When Jianjun heard Chenghuang say this, he didn't speak, but picked up his wine glass and touched Chenghuang again, but the entrance of this wine was not as embarrassing as just now.
"Your doll is the apprentice of this Liu boy? He is far worse than his grandfather, but it is a pity to worship him as a teacher. But it's okay, how much ability will encounter great danger, the higher the skill, the greater the responsibility! Chenghuang said while looking at Liu Laodao, who was snoring.
The two of them kept pushing the cup and changing the lamp, you and I drank one sip at a time, and Chenghuang's words have been said since Jianjun picked up the cup, from his birth, his identity in his previous life, and his fame in his previous life, while Jianjun rarely spoke, just quietly holding a wine glass and clinking glasses with Chenghuang from time to time.
Soon, Jianjun, who drank for the first time, was drunk, his whole brain was groggy, and he felt that he was about to fall asleep.
"Your baby has a good character, and the heart shape is also excellent, listening to my old man chatter for so long, this can be regarded as a small gift for you."
Chenghuang didn't know when there was an extra black pendant in his hand, and as soon as he threw it with his hand, the pendant hung on Jianjun's neck, and the dizzy Jianjun was expressionless after seeing the scene, and fell asleep directly next to the bonfire.
The night is in the depths, the snowflakes outside the City God Temple continue to fall quietly, the wind seems to be a little smaller, in the temple, the people who have drunk too much are staggering and falling asleep, fortunately, the warm bonfire is still slowly burning, so that the temple inside and outside the temple formed two worlds, no matter how the snowflakes outside the flutter did not drift into the temple.
Chenghuang put down the wine glass in his hand, and the original Chenghuang drank the wine and the pastries that he ate in his stomach floated out of nowhere and returned to their original places, and the whole scene was like going back in time.
Chenghuang stood up and smiled at the crowd, and then his figure faded until he was gone.
