Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Hexagram Master
"Thankfully, they gave me some news of ghosts. Qi Yuan thought about some strange things that the two brothers had heard, there were two City God Temples in Suzhou City.
In Qi Yuan's view, the two city gods are simply too wasteful, because the city god city god originally refers to the moat, and the priesthood is to be the guardian god of the city, and the power is equivalent to the mayor of the yang world, and at the same time is in charge of the living and the dead, rewarding the good and punishing the evil, life and death, and promoting happiness and interests.
From what I know now, the old Chenghuang was not a good god and was too extravagant, but it was the Xinchenghuang who became the county official who did things for the people.
Since this place is not far from Suzhou City, Qi Yuan came to the county seat at 10 pm.
Because he knew that there were two city gods in this city, Qi Yuan wanted to investigate, so as not to kill the good city gods by himself when he got the time, in fact, if he wasn't afraid that the two city gods would all die and make such a thing as a hundred ghosts walking at night, Qi Yuan wouldn't mind killing them all.
When he came to the restaurant, he called the shopkeeper and threw out a small piece of gold, and the details of this matter were quickly confided by the shopkeeper.
Here's the thing, this county magistrate is an honest official, and he just came to Suzhou to do the county magistrate a year ago, and he happened to meet the old man Chenghuang out of the meeting.
There is a wooden statue of the old man, wearing a brocade robe, sitting in the car, there is a pennant honor guard in front of it, and there is a band, which is very spectacular.
On that day, the county magistrate happened to be on a trip, and on the way, he met the team of Chenghuang going out of the meeting, and he asked what was going on.
He was told that it was an annual festival and that the money was raised from the residents.
The county magistrate thought it was a waste, so he pointed to the wooden statue of the old man and reasoned with him, saying that your Chenghuang is also the governor of a county, if you are a fool, you can't be this official, if you are spiritual, then you should know how to cherish material resources, how can you spend so much people's fat and people's ointment to do such a useless thing? After finishing speaking, let the subordinates pull down the wooden statue of the old man Chenghuang from the car, press it to the ground, and hit 20 boards.
Then he told everyone to stop the procession, send the old man back to the City God Temple, and he will not be allowed to go out again next year.
After the death of the county official, some people heard in the Chenghuang Temple that the county magistrate and the Chenghuang were arguing, and it was not over for a day or two, and they were heard for several days. The common people then went to persuade each other and proposed to build another temple for the county officials, also called the City God Temple, so that the quarrel stopped.
"Interesting! I don't know which one is the real Chenghuang......" Qi Yuan grinned.
Although I haven't been in this world for a long time, I still have a rough understanding of some of the rules of this world.
Every righteous god has a rune, which is equivalent to the official seal of the county official, which is used to prove his identity and power, and a relatively high-level god like Chenghuang will naturally not have such a farce as two gods in one city.
In other words, only one of the two city gods is an evil god?
He didn't care which one was the true god Qi Yuan, but he hoped that the old city god could be more powerful, because the more powerful he was, the more rewards he would get after killing.
"Childe, please stay!" Out of the restaurant, Qi Yuan was about to find a suitable inn, but he didn't know that as soon as he walked to the corner of the street, a hoarse voice suddenly came from behind.
"Huh?" Qi Yuan sighed lightly, turned his head and his eyes flashed a trace of purple light and then disappeared, only to see an old man in a long robe sitting in the corner of the wall not far behind him, the other party had a handful of goatee and a goose feather fan, and suddenly looked a little bit like a fairy wind bone. There was also a white cloth erected next to him, on which were written four big characters "Divine Calculation", which turned out to be a fortune-telling warlock.
Qi Yuan opened his mouth and asked, "Are you calling me?"
It's really a person who can't look good, but looking at the face, ordinary people will regard the other party as a warlock who has attained the Tao, who would have thought that this is just a crooked demon. Qi Yuan sighed secretly in his heart, through the Heavenly Eye Qi Yuan, he could clearly see that this warlock was surrounded by this large amount of Yin Qi, this kind of Yin Qi Qi had seen in Lanruo Temple, but the Yin Qi on those female ghosts was much stronger than the one on his body, ghosts!
There is nothing to do left and right, Qi Yuan is not in a hurry to leave, standing by to see what the other party is planning, people's hearts are not ancient! Now even these cats and dogs have come out to deceive people, it can be seen what the chaos of this world has become.
The warlock raised his hand and stroked his goatee, staring at him for a long time.
There's something wrong with this guy, right? Stop me just to stare at me in the face?
Just when Qi Yuan was impatient, he saw the warlock dressed as a physiognomy master speak: "This son, just now the old man was resting here, and the son walked towards him, four or five feet away, I already felt that you had an evil aura on you." ”
"Looking at the face of the son again, the eyebrows are black and blue, if the old man is not wrong, the son should have been to the evil land, if he didn't get rid of the fear of his life earlier. ”
Qi Yuan looked at the warlock in front of him again with a slight surprise, he didn't expect that he had been to Lanruo Temple, and he knew it.
No, this guy looks like a liar, is it a guess? or ......
"What?!" Qi Yuan pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, "How do you know! Could it be that I have a ghost on me?"
Seeing this, the warlock's eyes smiled even more, and he slowly spoke: "Childe don't panic, although that ghost thing has left a mark on you, it has not come in person. As for the solution......" As soon as the warlock stretched out his hand, the words were stuck in this key position.
"Sure enough!" Qi Yuan sneered in his heart, but his face was still panicked: "Master, you must save me!" said that, he groped and took out a gold bar full of color from his arms, hesitated for a moment, stuffed the gold bar back into his arms, and then took out a golden bean the size of a glass ball from his arms and stuffed it into the hand of the phase master.
"Master, if it's not enough, I can add more, but I ask the master to get rid of ghosts for me. ”
The bright gold bar just now had blinded the eyes of the phase master, the warlock swallowed his saliva, his eyes looked straight at Qi Yuan to take the gold bar back into his arms, and then looked at the golden bean in his hand, and sighed a little reluctantly.
"I don't know if the son knows where he met the ghost?, otherwise the old man still needs to spend his skills to calculate, this ......" The phase master stuffed the golden beans into his sleeve and said to Qi Yuan with a righteous and awe-inspiring look.
"Master, you don't have to bother with your efforts, I know I ran into a ghost there. Qi Yuan seemed to calm down at this time and said to the phase master.
"Oh? ”
"Thousands of miles away!" Qi Yuan pointed to the southwest direction, and spit out such a place name word by word.
"Lanruo Temple!" The face of the Xiangshi turned pale instantly, and he couldn't help but take two steps back.
Who in the cultivation world doesn't know that there is a thousand-year-old tree demon living in Lanruo Temple, with gorgeous female ghosts and countless Yin corpses, and his own mana has already reached the peak of the Yin God, and it will not take much time to achieve the Yang God, and then the divine soul will be able to appear in a hundred days, if it is not for the inconvenience of the tree demon body......
"Master, I will go there again in the next two days, and when the time comes, please ask the master to go with me, and then the boy will be rewarded with ten gold bars, what does the master want. Qi Yuan grabbed the phase master who was almost about to turn around and run away, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"This Lanruo Temple is extremely dangerous......"
"Hundred gold bars!" Qi Yuan said a more tempting price.
"Alas, let's tell you the truth, this Lanruo Temple is rampant with ghosts, and it's not something that the old man can deal with......"
"Since you can't handle it, forget it. With that, Qi Yuan turned around with a disappointed face and was about to leave.
"Childe stays, the black mark on the face of Gongzi is not printed a few days ago, it must not be done by the ghosts of Lanruo Temple, but encountered nearby, there is still a way to deal with this kind of ghost, if Gongzi does not remove this ghost, I am afraid that Gongzi will not be able to go to Lanruo Temple again......" The warlock suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly grabbed Qi Yuan.
"Hmph, I have a golden bean with you, isn't it enough? What money do you want, it is obvious that you have taken a fancy to the gold bar on my body, so you don't know if you have a hexagram! The golden bean will be fed to the dog as my son!" After that, Qi Yuan ignored the warlock's shout and turned to leave.
