Chapter 11 The Temple of the City God
Regardless of how Tang Seng has it, the Demon Capital City God's Temple is not close to the S County Hotel. The two men took a taxi and walked for nearly an hour to arrive.
Legend has it that the City God Temple in the magic capital was first built during the Three Kingdoms period, and this kind of is good to listen to it. Today's reliable construction age is in the time of the Yongle Emperor, because it is respected by Taoism as the Zhenwu Emperor descended, so the Yongle Emperor renovated the temple throughout the country, and the city god temple was also rebuilt into the current appearance, the main hall is dedicated to the Jinshan Shenhan general Bolu Hou Huo Guang.
As soon as they arrived at the City God Temple, the teachers and students didn't pay attention to the thriving incense hall at all, and they didn't even put on the pillar incense, and went straight to the Yuanchen Hall in the back. This kind of non-Taoist practice made the Taoist guarding the hall look at them a little weird, but Mu Changli and Chen Yunhe would not care about the eyes of this kind of shrimp soldier and crab general, because ......
"Monkey, let me take a look at the Magician's file. In the Yuanchen Palace, Chen Yunhe took Mu Changli to a table on the side of the hall and knocked on the table with his hand.
Sitting behind the table, he was holding a copy of the "Parenting Sutra" and reading the temple blessing without raising his head, staring at the scripture with his eyes intently: "The key is on the waist." ”
Chen Yunhe lowered his head and said helplessly: "So much information, you let me find the Year of the Monkey?"
"It's definitely better than you. Miao Zhu insisted on reading the chapter of "Education Methods for Four-Year-Old Babies", and then carefully closed the book with a jade bookmark, "I remember that there will be an international education fair in the magic capital next month, so you can help me get three VIP tickets, and I will help with this hand." ”
"Okay, okay, three tickets for the International Education Fair, just get it for you. Chen Yunhe replied impatiently, "As for your child, you're only four years old, right?
"Do you care if my son understands?" Miaozhu got up and took off a jade plaque from his waist, and after looking at it, he pulled out a two-and-a-half-foot-long iron token from his waist, "Also, it's VIP, don't fool me with those white tickets for ten yuan a piece." ”
Of course, this temple blessing is Hou Qing, who is known as "Brother Hou", and he is still at the same level as Chen Yunhe. The difference is that Chen Yunhe chose to stay in school after graduation, and Hou Qing was assigned to the Demon Capital City God Temple.
The temple itself has to bear the responsibility of managing the household registration files of all kinds of magicians and non-human people in the magic capital, and this tradition is still left over from the second magic revolution. Although the Celestial Empire was the birthplace of the first magic revolution, the second magic revolution lagged behind by a full few decades. In order to better connect with the mainstream culture of Europe and the United States, the magic city has been used as a pilot city for opening up.
In fact, except for the backwardness of the second magic revolution, the previous social processes of the Celestial Empire were far ahead of the world. Two hundred years after the patriarch Zhang Daoling cut down mountains and destroyed temples in Shuzhong, Christianity was established as the state religion of Rome by Constantine I; by the time Christianity cut down mountains and destroyed temples in Europe in the Middle Ages, Zhang Jixian, the 30th generation of heavenly masters, had already re-made peace with the demon clan and reabsorbed the non-human groups of the Celestial Empire into society.
Therefore, the Celestial Empire can be said to be the most free and open modern country in the world to treat non-human races, and Austria-Hungary has to be the second. With this golden signboard, a large number of non-human races who couldn't stay in other countries flocked to the magic capital, and the city of the magic capital has since had the name of "the capital of ten thousand demons".
Someone else has just come from the Christian territory, and it is naturally inappropriate for the church to approach. The image of Buddhism is good, but at that time, the Daomen was making trouble, and the Buddhism itself was busy cleaning up the source, and this burden fell on the head of the Chenghuang Temple that belonged to Zhengyi - it was said to be affiliated with Zhengyi, but in fact, it had long been secularized.
Hou Qing also got to know a large group of sub-monsters, and even became the leader of the Demon Capital Runaway Clan, known as "Soaring Horse Yelang". Every time I go out racing at night, Hula Lala takes a large number of headless horsemen into the mummies, how chic is Sensei.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, as Hou Qing walked into the grave of love, he didn't go out at night, the car didn't race, and the BMW motorcycle was also replaced with a bicycle, and a wooden baby seat was added to the back. Most importantly, he himself has degenerated from a good young man who works hard and earnestly to a salary thief who lives in a mess.
The salary thief took the iron token and walked directly to the outside of the Yuanchen Palace, and suddenly pointed to the word "order" at the front of the command card with his sword, and the lazy atmosphere on his body suddenly disappeared.
"Qianyu repels poison, Zhenshi Luo Ling, Eight Immortals Bingyue, God Wang Ling, Taixuan Luojing, Seven Gods Chongting, Huang Zhen Yaojiao, Huan Throwing Fire Bell, Ziwen Jade Characters, Four Scenes Enlightened, Nine Heavens and Six Days, Four Heavens Essence, Outer Legend Xuanzu, Internal Security Commander, Left into Right Gu, Fiery Wind Steam, Kill Ten Thousand Demons, Destroy Thousand Essences, Jin Zhen Zhen, Nine Demons Destroy Form, I Pei Zhenfu, Serve Ten Thousand Spirits, Ascend to the Three Realms, Go to the Imperial City. Haste as a law!"
The pilgrims who came to offer incense were naturally confused, looking at Miao Zhu and suddenly reciting a mantra, but in the eyes of Mu Changli and Chen Yunhe, it was completely different. As soon as Hou Qing thought this, the word "Ling" suddenly lit up. I don't know how many ghosts came out from under the eaves of the main hall, dressed in suits to robes, and all of them had the word "Yin" on their chests. A few of them were still eating with ghost rice in their hands, and they were vaguely shouting "protection of labor rights and interests" and "eight-hour work system" or something.
Hou Qing is the temple blessing of the City God Temple, and these ghosts are naturally equivalent to the Yin soldiers in the City God Temple. There are many jobs that are more suitable for ghosts than humans, so the Spiritual Magic came into being.
If you want to see ghosts, you need a spell [Spiritual Vision] from the Imperial Spirit Department, but anyone who comes out of the magic school will learn this spell, and even many magicians are born with such an ability. Through [Spiritual Vision], it is easy to identify a large number of spell traces and spirits that are invisible to the naked eye, and it can be said to be one of the most typical spells that distinguish the sorcerer from ordinary people.
As for Hou Qingnian's mantra, it is the [Ten Thousand Spirits Mantra]. It is also a spell of the Imperial Spirit Department, and this spell is also widely used, and can be used to serve all kinds of demons, spirits, ghosts, and monsters, and it can be said to be the gatekeeper spell of the true spirit system of the Royal Spirit Department. Hou Qing's recitation of the mantra like this is equivalent to a loudspeaker shouting vigorously next to the brains of those ghosts: "Start work, start work!"
"What are you yelling about? It's less than a hundred hours of serious work all day long, so it's still too tiring! If you don't accept it, you will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to complain!" Hou Qingcai didn't bother to pay attention to this group of drama spirits, and directly knocked the pillar with an iron token, which scared the group of ghosts into a tremble, "Come with me, start work!"
Hou Qing has been messing around, and he hasn't forgotten discipline yet. He took Mu Changli, Chen Yunhe, and the group of ghosts around the Yuanchen Palace, and finally stood in front of a god statue. He took the jade plaque and shook it at the idol, and a door suddenly opened in front of the idol to three people and a group of ghosts.
"Follow me. Hou Qing walked into the portal in a flash, and the group of ghosts also chased in. Chen Yunhe patted Mu Changli on the shoulder and asked him to hurry up.
Mu Changli saw clearly just now that the statue was the statue of General Tang Cha. Yuanchen Hall is dedicated to the sixty Jiazi gods, this year is the year of Ding You, and General Tang Cha is the god of Ding Younian. In other words, this portal changes places every year, and perhaps there is more than one portal that is associated, each with its own algorithm.
As for what kind of spell the portal used, Mu Changli didn't know at all. He could only infer from the principle of the spell that it should be a spell of the Rite and Law Department, perhaps related to the spells of the "Flag Gate" series.
"If you really have this heart, you can report directly to the City God Temple after graduation. Chen Yunhe saw what he was paying attention to, and nodded him with his elbow, "If you don't have it, don't think about it, it's important to do the right thing." ”
After entering the portal, what appeared in front of Mu Changli was countless bookshelves, row after row, almost stretching to the end of his sight. The shelves are crowded with all kinds of books, even bamboo swords and thread-bound books, and you can smell the smell of dust just by looking at them.
As soon as Hou Qing raised his hand, his slightly short body immediately blocked the two teachers and students who were still trying to move forward: "What are you looking for?" There's an enchantment here, and only spirits can bring things out of it. ”
"I'm looking for the information of the current registered sorcerers in the Demon Capital...... Chen Yunhe looked at Mu Changli, "What else?"
"The keywords are 'Manchu' and 'shaman', and the information of all family members is required. ”
Hou Qing looked at Mu Changli in surprise, didn't say anything, and drove the ghost to start looking for it. There were thirty or forty ghosts in his service, and the efficiency of finding them was not ordinary, and after a while, two folders and a thread-bound book were brought to the three of them by them.
The number of shamans in the country is not large, and they are basically family traditions, and there is no mass base here in the magic capital. There are a total of seven people in these three volumes, including Ye Raccoon and his uncle. Mu Changli and Chen Yunhe immediately searched separately, and after a while, they really let them find it.
"This person has not been registered as a warlock, but it is suitable for the location. Mu Changli handed the information to Chen Yunhe, and tapped a few lines of words on his head with his fingers, "His mother's surname is Lang, this is the old Manchu surname, Niu Colu's family." ”
"You haven't said what you're basing your inferences on. Chen Yunhe quickly glanced at the information, "Come, give me an analysis." ”
