Chapter 32: Examining the Shogunate
Although this method was conceived to save my father, my grandfather always suffered from gains and losses, until Liu Cheng had already prepared for me to register, and my grandfather found Liu Cheng and said, "Master Liu, although Sun Qing can serve in the Land Temple, but he has lost the position of the mountain god, I always feel that the gains outweigh the losses." ”
Liu Cheng smiled and said, "Do you think it's better to be a mountain god with no real power, or a land temple ghost with real power?" ”
Grandpa understood what Liu Cheng meant, but still said, "After all, the mountain god seal was handed over to me by the mountain god himself before, and if it doesn't work in my hands, I always feel that something is not right in my heart." ”
Liu Cheng said, "If you believe me, I promise you that I will exchange the City God Seal or even the Si Temple Seal for this Mountain God Seal." ”
Liu Chengdu said that this is the case, and grandpa naturally can't say anything, after all, the female mountain god has been divided into corpses, and grandpa is reluctant to leave this mountain god seal, just to keep a thought.
For the next few days, we waited at home with peace of mind, and the man didn't come to us, and Chen Yingying hid in Liu Cheng's grave and didn't come out.
Only my father's and mother's situation is getting worse day by day, since there are two more urns on the head, my father and mother seem to be unable to wake up, usually sleep at most six or seven hours a day, and now sleep ten hours a day are still in a daze, and then I can't even get out of bed.
And in the past few days, Liu Cheng told me a lot of exam questions that the Land Temple might have, and prepared the answers for me, I memorized them one by one, and when the time comes, I just need to answer according to the answers prepared by Liu Cheng.
It wasn't until a week later, when I was lying in bed one night, that I heard my name called outside the door, I opened my eyes, and Liu Cheng also opened his eyes and said to me, "It's time to take the exam, I've already done it." ”
I hummed, then said to the door, "Here we are." ”
As he spoke, I got up and walked out of the house, and when I got to the door, I looked back, and saw another me lying on the bed, just like last time, and I thought to myself that this was probably going to be yin.
Liu Cheng sat on the edge of the bed and waved to me, signaling me to go quickly, and I opened the door to go out, and opened the door to see two people standing at the door, one of them was holding a little black donkey, and the other was holding a piece of paper in his hand. ”
I hummed, and the two of them took me and rode the little black donkey, and then they led the little black donkey forward, and I don't know how long the road went, and the surrounding environment gradually became unfamiliar, and after a dark day, I saw the scarlet light in front.
In front of it is a bronze gate like a royal capital, and people come and go under the gate, and some of the people who enter are crying and crying, and some are melancholy. The people who came out trotted all the way, looking like arrows.
There were eight men standing at the door, all dressed in black and carrying iron chains, each holding a vicious dog in their hands, grinning at the people who came and went through the bronze gate.
Before I entered the bronze gate, I asked the two imps who had come to take me to the exam, "Where is the front?" ”
One of the little ghosts pointed to the top of the bronze gate, I looked up, and saw that the bronze gate was written with the words 'ghost gate', this little ghost said to me, "The ghost gate is closed in front, and after the ghost gate, it is not considered a living person, today's Halloween, the ghost door is wide open, and these innocence spirits will be put back to visit their relatives and return tomorrow." ”
I nodded, looked at some of the people passing by and cried, and asked, "Why are they crying so sadly?" ”
The little ghost smiled and said, "I can't bear the glory and wealth of the yang world." ”
Saying that, the two little ghosts continued to lead the little black donkey forward, all the way to the ghost gate, and eight people from the left and right of the ghost gate came up to stop us and asked, "The ghost gate is wide open today, and the dead people in the yang world can be brought in again tomorrow." ”
The little ghost in front of him took out the document and handed it to the little ghost guarding the door and said, "The candidates who took the exam in the Land Temple of Pingxiang." The little ghost said and took out a stack of yin and yang money and secretly handed it to the little ghost guarding the door, the little ghost read the paper, and then collected the yin and yang money, smiled knowingly, and let us in.
Entering the ghost gate, I looked back at the bronze giant gate, next to the bronze giant gate stood a stone tablet, on which were written the words 'Huangquan Road', I was the first time to come below, I was extremely curious about the surrounding scene, and asked, "We have a document, why do we have to give them yin and yang money?" ”
The two imps said, "If we don't give them benefits, if we want to close in through the ghost gate in the future, I'm afraid we will be troubled by them everywhere." ”
Liu Cheng said before, the king of Hades is good, and the little ghost is difficult, so I was divided into several stacks when I burned the yin and yang paper, at that time I thought it was fake, but now it seems that it can't be true anymore, I'm afraid it's not enough to be divided into several stacks.
All the way forward, to the end of the Huangquan Road, see the Huangquan Road divided into countless forks, these two little ghosts directly chose a path to take me up, there is also a stone tablet next to the road, engraved with the word 'Pingxiang'.
This road is not as lively as the previous Huangquan Road, there is no life on the road, and there are no ghosts passing by, there are only some bright iron trees around, and you can only see the range of 100 meters before and after, and then it is covered by black fog.
As we walked, we heard a reprimand from behind, "Hurry up! ”
I looked back and saw two little ghosts walking down the road with a man about fifty years old, one of whom was also holding a document in his hand, and I immediately understood that the man behind them should have also signed up for the exam.
But the attitude of the little ghost in front of the man is very different from the two little ghosts who brought me in, I came all the way, the two of them did not say anything heavy to me, and they were also respectful to me and answered all questions, but the little ghost who brought the man in was pulling and pulling at him, and his face was full of impatience.
The two imps in front of them saw someone coming from behind, stopped and waited for a while, and the people behind followed, and the two imps met me on the black donkey and said, "This is also here to take the exam?" Young, right? ”
The two little ghosts in front of him said, "It's not simple, this little baby is a person who has been a mountain god, and he doesn't dare to slack off." ”
The other two imps obviously didn't believe it, I look so small, how could I be a mountain god, so I asked again, "I used a black donkey to pick him up, and I got a lot of benefits, right?" ”
The two imps who brought me in smiled and stretched out a hand, and the other two imps said with envy on their faces, "It's just that the people we brought with us are not sensible, they don't get any benefits, and they suffer and run away." ”
As a result, the man behind them immediately scolded when he heard this, "If I am allowed to be the land, but anyone who dares to accept bribes, one will be counted as one, and all will be dealt with. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the two imps pushed him violently, "Hurry up!" ”
The man staggered a few steps forward, then turned back to stare at me and said, "I am a teacher and a teacher in the yang world, Xiaowa, you want to compare with me, you can't just rely on bribery." ”
I really relied on bribery and Liu Cheng's relationship to come down to take the exam, and I smiled humbly.
The two imps went before us, and we walked slowly behind.
After walking for about an hour on this road, I saw a small temple in front of me, the temple was written with the words 'land temple', there were imps at the door of the temple, and I recognized a few of them, they had been to our village before, and they were cleaned up by Liu Cheng.
When I saw them, I immediately turned my face away, and said in my heart that I must not recognize me, and now that Liu Cheng is not here, they may come to embarrass me for revenge.
But this is the Land Temple, and the one sitting in it is the Land Lord, I came to take the exam, and they just glared at me and didn't say anything.
I got off the black donkey in front of the land temple, and then the little ghost took me in, I came to the land temple for the first time, the furnishings inside are similar to the mountain temple, there are little ghosts standing left and right, there is a table directly above the land temple, the only difference is that there are several statues of gods behind the table, I don't know any of them.
Today, in order to assess, the Land Temple has set up several stone piers and stone tables, and the man before was already sitting on one of the stone piers, and the two little ghosts who brought me in stepped forward to report, "Lord Land, Pingxiang candidate Sun Qing has arrived." ”
I looked at the land lord and smiled, and said in my heart that I am also an old acquaintance with the land lord, and he should not do anything to me.
The land lord frowned, waved his hand to let the two little ghosts leave, and then ordered me to sit down, and after I found a stone pier to sit down, the land lord spoke, "This year, only the two of you have registered in Pingxiang, and there is only one 'shogunate' position in the land temple that is still vacant, and only one of the two of you can serve in the land temple." ”
Choose one of the two people, the odds are still very high, the man next to me is full of confidence, he is a person who has taught and I am a stinky kid, almost a sure thing, but ...... I am a relational household.
