Chapter 102: The friendship of gentlemen is as light as water
......
"City God?" Qi Yuan silently raised his head and looked at the City God Temple in front of him, he was caught here last night, but looking at the temple with strong incense at this time, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he really thought that this City God Temple was dedicated to a peerless god.
'People fight for a breath, Buddha fights for a stick of incense' is true.
The god of incense is vigorous, and the life span will increase accordingly, and the god of thin incense, the position of the yin god is a burden, this so-called taken from the people to the people, the meager power of the incense has already been consumed before it is in hand, not only can it not help its own cultivation, but even because of this position, it will take its own merits, until the karma will fall down from the god position.
Obviously, this Chenghuang has done his best to use this little incense to release ghosts with his left hand and catch ghosts with his right hand to show his ability, which is indeed a good way to obtain the power of incense.
Gods are manifest, and believers are coming, especially in this world where demons are rampant and ghosts are overflowing, and a god who has been confirmed to appear is much better than those who do not show their power.
Standing silently from a distance and watching, Qi Yuan turned around and went to the City God Temple in the east of the city, where the City God didn't know if he was doing everything for his incense?
In the east of the city, in front of the City God Temple, looking at the tall and magnificent temple in front of him, Qi Yuan couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart, because this temple was not proportional to the sparse people who went to worship, it was hard to believe that there were so few people praying for the community, how could there be such a tall temple.
Qi Yuan, who couldn't figure it out, went straight to a restaurant, called the shopkeeper, and threw out a golden bean the size of a soybean to express his doubts.
When the little two heard this, they smiled:
"Guest officer, it looks like you're a foreigner!"
Qi Yuan nodded.
"People in a hundred miles know what's going on. Speaking of which, this East City God Temple is also called the Old City God Temple, which has existed a hundred years ago, and the City God Lord who enshrines it has to dream of letting people hold the City God Meeting every year, and repairing the temple, the money to be spent is naturally raised from the residents, and over time the City God Temple has become tall. ”
"Until a few years ago, a county official came to the city who was resolute and upright, and when he took office, it happened to coincide with the birthday of the god god in the old city, and the residents used gorgeous cars to pull the statue of the god and parade through the streets; waving colorful flags and all kinds of honor guards, lined up in a neat procession, blowing and blowing all the way, woo woo wow wow, and then watching the lively people also crowded the streets and alleys. Since this kind of thing has been going on for a hundred years, it has become a custom to do god-like meetings, so I dare not slack off a little every year. ”
When the county magistrate saw this, he couldn't help but be furious, so he stopped the procession, pointed to the idol and scolded, and after scolding, he ordered someone to pull the idol to the ground and beat him with twenty boards. Xiao Er paused, obviously saying something a little dry.
"Oh?" Qi Yuan casually got a cup of tea and put it in front of him, the little second was not polite, poured the tea into his mouth, moistened his throat, after all, the golden bean given by Qi Yuan didn't seem to be big, but it was golden!
"The county order is the city god lord in the west, because he has just been the county order for a year, that is, the second year of the city god's birthday, he went up the ladder in the official office to dig out the bird's nest under the eaves, stumbled and fell, broke his thigh, and died not long after, at this time it was obviously the east city god who was angry. ”
In the days that followed, people heard the angry shouts of the county magistrate coming from the City God Temple, as if they were arguing with the old City God God about something, and they did not stop for several days...... Although the county decree lasted only one year, the people were very grateful for his kindness (abolishing the Divine Society) and gathered in the temple to mediate for them. ”
In the end, another ancestral hall was built to enshrine the county order, and the dispute disappeared. The ancestral hall of the county order is also called the City God Temple, that is, the West City God, which is more effective than the original old City God God...... Although there are fewer people worshipping at the Old City God's Temple, there are still people who come together to paint it every year. ”
Listening to Xiao Er's mouthy recounting like pouring beans, Qi Yuan, who understood the whole incident, casually rewarded Xiao Er with another golden bean, sent him away, and then pondered.
According to what Dian Xiaoer said, this county order should be a good official, how could he do such a thing after death.
Or is everything pretended to be a pretend, and it's not a good thing in itself?
There is also why the old city god should be afraid of the county order.
There are too many questions, but Qi Yuan, who is already preparing to get rid of the old city god, has a new plan at this time, since the new city god and himself have made a feud, then it is already necessary to kill, and the old city god depends on the situation, if it is the same as the new city god, then he doesn't mind killing one more ghost god, anyway, it is a reward point for moving.
Although there are so many gods, Qi Yuan is also willing to kill, killing an evil god is what he is willing to do, but he will never kill any good god by mistake, what he wants is to have a clear conscience, after all, now that Qi Yuan has embarked on the road of cultivation, he will inevitably have a demon obstacle in his heart, and if it is serious, he will have a demon, which is something that can kill him, and Qi Yuan is not willing to touch it.
Back to business.
Qi Yuan had already done the god-killing thing once, so he knew that this god was no different from a ghost, or it was just an extra layer of gorgeous skin.
At the end of the day, Qi Yuan visited the streets and alleys, although it was to explore the virtues of the old city god and look for fine wine, but an unexpected person appeared in Qi Yuan's sight.
"Shopkeeper, bring me two pots of good wine and high-quality meat!" A sturdy man with a full face and meat, carrying a sword box behind him, with a full beard, his voice was like thunder, and his eyes were shining, and he looked like a person who had achieved cultivation.
This outfit suddenly reminded Qi Yuan of a noun 'beard', then looked up at the gradually setting sun, and shook his head self-deprecatingly, how could it be him, he should be on the way to Lanruo Temple at this time, how could he be here?
It seems that I have been a little overwhelmed......
"This guest officer, I'm really sorry, the drinks in the small shop have been sold out, you see......"
"What? sold short!" The big man's eyes widened, as if he was about to make a move, and what made Qi Yuan, who was ready to save people, even more surprised, the big man stared at Xiao Er, who was already sweating profusely, and then sighed slightly:
"Don't tell me your meat is sold out. ”
"Yes, yes, yes. Guest, guest officer, wait a minute. The little second wiped the cold sweat oozing from his forehead and hurriedly replied.
Seeing the appearance of this little second boy trembling and stumbling away, Qi Yuan couldn't help but laugh softly.
"Why is this boy laughing, is a certain family so funny!" The big man's eyes widened, and he looked straight at Qi Yuan.
"No, this strong man, since there is no alcohol in this shop, why don't you come to my place and have two drinks with me?" Qi Yuan pointed to the seat opposite.
Qi Yuan still has some good feelings for this chic chivalrous man, after all, if he is a wicked person, he will inevitably make things difficult, and even hit people, where will it be so easy for this little two to leave?
"This ......" The big man suddenly looked at Qi Yuan with vigilance.
"Strong men don't need to be careful, you and I have never been in life, I will definitely not harm you, the so-called meeting is fate, you want wine, I have it here, besides, the friendship of gentlemen is as light as water, after today, you and I go our separate ways, how can we easily meet when the world is big?"
"A good gentleman's friendship is as light as water! Just say this to you, you will drink it!" The strong man laughed and got up, and came to sit down opposite Qi Yuan.
Seeing this, Qi Yuan smiled slightly and personally poured wine for the big man. The big man was not polite, raised his wine glass and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed:
"Good wine! I'll do it first as a respect!" and the wine entered his stomach as soon as he raised his neck. At this time, the big man didn't see Qi Yuan's playful smile.
"Ahem! What a strong wine!" the big man didn't expect the wine to be so strong, and couldn't help coughing.
"Zhuangman, can this wine rank in the world?" Qi Yuan said with a sip of his glass.
"This wine should be the leader! If you drink Gongzi's wine today, I'm afraid that birds will fade out of your mouth in the future, and all the wine in the world will be like water!" The strong man drank a glass of himself, still bored, obviously the first cup was not in time, and at the same time said with some emotion.
Qi Yuan nodded, yes, if Yan Chixia drank this wine, then I was afraid that he wouldn't take the bait?
"Since the strong man likes it, I will give the strong man two altars later. Now that he knows that there is no way for this wine to be surpassed in this world, Qi Yuan also said very generously.
"Okay, thank you, Childe. ”
is a verification of the sentence 'gentlemen's friendship is as light as water', so neither of them reported their homes from beginning to end, which also made Qi Yuan eager to pat himself a few times after learning the identity of the strong man in the future.
ps: I think everyone already knows the identity of this big man.
