Chapter 10 Meet the City God
Zhan Yang asked Yin Cha to entangle Xiao Shizhong with a soul rope, and then a group of people and ghosts walked towards the gate of the park, and when they passed by the rockery, they saw Lao Chen still squatting behind.
Xiao Shizhong arched his hand to Lao Chen: "Mr. Chen, it's my fault for letting those three ghosts intimidate you, and I can't compensate you here!" Leave! With that, he and the two Yin cha floated out of the park gate first.
Zhanyang helped up the trembling old Chen: "Director Chen, your matter is solved, and there will be no more ghosts looking for you; However, it would be better to suspend the reclamation of the lake. ”
After listening to Zhanyang's words, Lao Chen took a long breath: "Suspension, absolute suspension!" Great, thank you Mr. Ling, I finally don't have to worry about it. After speaking, he happily ran out of the park and ran towards Cheng Fatzi's car, and when he got into the car, he turned around and shouted to Zhanyang: "Let Xiao Cheng send you the money tomorrow!" ”
Zhanyang's face was black, Lao Chen shouted to send money, and the yin difference next to him was heard clearly, just when Zhanyang was embarrassed, a yin difference hurriedly rounded the field: "Mr. Ling, what's so embarrassing, it's the so-called receiving money from others and eliminating disasters for others, it's justified!" ”
With that, the group and the ghost rushed to the local City God Temple.
The Chenghuang Temple in the county seat is located on a main road at the junction of urban and rural areas in the north of the city, and the two Yin Cha and Xiao Shizhong floated over first; Although it was already more than twelve o'clock in the evening, there were still occasional people passing by on the road, so the two yin chamen first tried to let the doorman sleep to death, and then opened the back door of the City God Temple, waiting for Zhanyang and a few people.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Hao drove Zhanyang and Ah Mao to the gate of the City God Temple, a Yin cha came over and took the three of them from the side path to the back door, Zhan Yang instructed Zhou Hao and Ah Mao to let the wind near the door, just in case someone went in, and then followed the Yin Cha directly into the main hall of the City God Temple.
In the middle of the main hall is the statue of the god of the city god, the statue is dressed in official clothes, tall and mighty, the two yin are on both sides, Zhanyang bows down to the statue with a Taoist bow: "The younger generation is sending a disciple of the Heavenly Master and Taoism, Ling Zhanyang, to meet the county god of this county." ”
"You are Ling Zhanyang?"
Zhanyang heard someone speak, raised his body and looked, a thin old man walked out from behind the statue, his gray hair was neatly combed back, dressed in a Mao suit, looking at Zhanyang with an appreciative smile.
The yin cha on the side hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Mr. Ling, this is the county god of this county." ”
Zhanyang was puzzled, but the old man laughed: "Hahaha, is it seriously inconsistent with the image of the statue?" ”
"Tonight is not a formal occasion, so I am not wearing an official uniform, this tunic suit, because I was a member of the Republic of China during my lifetime, and I only came here to take office sixty years ago, and the former Chenghuang Ye has served here for more than 200 years, and he has been promoted."
Zhanyang listened, and bowed again, but the city god smiled and helped Zhanyang: "Little friends don't have to be polite, then again, we still have some origins; I also belonged to the righteous sect when I was alive, but unlike your Heavenly Master Dao, I am from the Gesoap Mountain faction. ”
Zhanyang said politely: "It turned out to be a Taoist senior." ”
Lord Chenghuang continued: "The messenger has reported to me what happened tonight, and I probably already know about it. Saying that, he looked at Xiao Shizhong: "You are Xiao Shizhong?" ”
Xiao Shizhong hurriedly knelt down: "It's the villain." ”
Lord Chenghuang stretched out his hand and instructed Yincha: "Take the life book of the drowning people in the Xiao family and the park in this county over the years." ”
Immediately, a yin cha took out a booklet and presented it to the city god with both hands.
Chenghuang Ye opened the book of life, frowned slightly, looked at the pages one by one, nodded from time to time, and after a moment, raised his eyes and said to Zhanyang: "Xiao Shizhong's life experience to you is true, although he has stayed in the Yang world for more than 300 years, he has not harmed anyone, but the records in the life book show that this person was a righteous and upright person before his death, hehehe, he is still an infatuated reader." ”
After Xiao Shizhong listened, his expression was quite anxious: "Then my lady...... It's Yao Yuehong, she ......"
Lord Chenghuang waved his hand at Xiao Shizhong: "You get up, don't worry, I understand your unwillingness; But this Yao Yuehong is from Poyang County, although you were like a husband and wife in your lifetime, but you have never worshiped heaven and earth, so it is not under the jurisdiction of this county, and you need to look at the life book of Poyang County to understand. ”
After listening to this, Xiao Shizhong suddenly turned around in a hurry, he was already very weak by Zhanyang, and in this hurry, his body began to fall apart again.
Seeing this, Zhan Yang hurriedly urged the soul fixing talisman again, and hit three soul fixing talismans in a row, Xiao Shizhong stabilized at this time, and Zhanyang said softly: "Don't worry, I'll figure out a way." ”
Seeing that Zhanyang was skillful in spell casting, Lord Chenghuang nodded appreciatively: "At a young age, you can easily urge the talisman in your hand, I am really ashamed to think that I was compared to your age!" ”
Zhanyang arched his hand and bent down: "Lord Chenghuang is modest, the younger generation will not dare to be it!" This Xiao Shizhong now seems to be just an infatuated talent who stays in the Yang world and is harmless to humans and animals, and his performance before his death is also commendable, can he implore Lord Chenghuang to exert his magical powers and help him with his wishes? ”
Chenghuang Ye thought for a moment and looked at Xiao Shizhong: "Since the Taoist junior helps you intercede, I'll try." ”
After that, the city god asked for a pen and paper to write a letter, stamped the seal of the county city god, and handed it to a yin cha: "You go to see the city god of Poyang, give him this letter, and go back quickly." ”
The messenger took the letter: "Yes! As soon as the words fell, he flew out quickly.
At this time, Zhanyang took out a small bag of gray powdery crumbs from his bag, and looked at the Chenghuang Ye and the surrounding yin: "Thank you Chenghuang Ye and all the messengers, a little courtesy, not a respect, please enjoy it." ”
Chenghuang Ye sniffed: "It's actually jade saliva?" ”
The yin on the side listened to it, and it was already agitated.
Lord Chenghuang said: "This incense not only tastes unique and delicious, but can also increase the cultivation of our Yin Spirits, such a precious gift, it is really troublesome." ”
Zhanyang thought to himself: "No matter how big an official you are, it is a virtue for a ghost to see a fragrant and a dog to see a meat bun, not to mention that this is still a super meat bun." ”
Zhanyang walked to the incense burner, poured gray crumbs and burned it, and then green smoke rose in the furnace, only to see the yin and the city god in the hall closed his eyes and sniffed, his expression was very enjoyable; Xiao Shizhong, who was on the side, cast a grateful glance at Zhanyang at this time, and Zhanyang nodded slightly in response.
When the incense was about to burn out, the messenger returned to the City God Palace, sniffed his nose, and reported to the City God: "My lord, after listening to the ins and outs of the matter, the City God of Poyang County was deeply moved, and specially lent this Poyang Yao's life book for adults to consult, and greeted your lords. ”
After that, Yin Cha took out a thick book of life from his arms and presented it to Lord Chenghuang, Xiao Shizhong's expression was nervous at this time, and his eyes were staring at the book of life.
Lord Chenghuang took the book of orders and began to flip through it, still frowning slightly and turning a few pages before saying to himself: "That's the case..."
After a while, Lord Chenghuang raised his head and looked at Xiao Shizhong, who was already impatient: "This is a very detailed record of Yao Yuehong's life and death, I will tell you this." ”
It turned out that Xiao Shizhong was beaten by the thugs sent by the sister-in-law of the Yao family in Poyang County, and died within a few days, Yao Yuehong endured the pain and buried Xiao Shizhong and returned to the Yao family in Poyang County.
When the old man of the Yao family saw his daughter coming back, he thought that Yao Yuehong had changed her mind and was very happy; Unexpectedly, at midnight three days later, Yao Yuehong's sister-in-law got up and went to the thatched house, and Yao Yuehong, who was waiting by the thatched house, held a sharp knife in her hand and gave her vicious sister-in-law three knives and six holes, and was killed on the spot.
After killing people, Yao Yuehong returned to her boudoir, hung a ribbon on the beam of the house, and hanged herself.
Hearing this, Xiao Shizhong couldn't help himself with sadness, and beat his chest: "Yuehong! You're so stupid! I'm not worth it!! ”
Lord Chenghuang didn't stop Xiao Shizhong from crying in the main hall, and waited for him to calm down a little before saying, "You can rest easy, wait until I finish." ”
After Yao Yuehong's death, because of the murder, there was a lot of movement, and the ghost did not have time to rush to Huangcheng County to meet Xiao Shizhong, so he was detained by the local Yin Cha who heard the news and was escorted to Cui Jue, the judge of the Yin Law Division, for trial.
When the judge Cui Jue understood the whole thing, he was deeply moved by the infatuation of the two, and he was also extremely sympathetic to poor Xiao Shizhong, so later the city god of Huancheng County repeatedly asked for support in the arrest of Xiao Shizhong's ghost, but Cui Jue suppressed it, and deliberately left Xiao Shizhong to wait by the pond at home.
Although Cui Jue had the intention to let Yao Yuehong go, after all, he killed someone, and according to Yin Si Law, he would go to the knife mountain and go down the oil pot hundreds of millions of times.
Hearing this, Xiao Shizhong clutched his chest tightly, his face full of worry.
