Chapter 65: An agreement is reached
On the first night he came to Gumu County, Mingxiu had a dream that Xu Qingfeng introduced himself to a god, and that deity was the land god of Xu Qingfeng's hometown, and this land god wanted to be the city god of Gumu County.
I didn't know I was dreaming in my dream, but Mingxiu happily agreed at that time.
When I woke up, I realized that it was a dream, and I couldn't help but laugh and wondered:
"I'm still so anxious about these things that I can even make such ridiculous dreams."
"A land god, of course, can only manage his own piece of land, how can he run thousands of miles away to be a city god? Do you regard the divine throne as an official position? β
"It's funny."
Shaking his head, he put those thoughts away.
After breakfast, I went to visit Xu Qingfeng and discussed with him the specific matters of building a Taoist temple.
A servant took him to see Xu Qingfeng.
The living area of the county government is also quite large, and there are many large and small houses in it, and there is no one to guide it, so you may not be able to find Xu Qingfeng.
If you accidentally stumble into the dwelling of the lady, it will be a great sin.
I didn't feel anything at first, but as I walked, Mingxiu suddenly noticed that something was wrongβthe scene of the past was so familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere.
But this was his first time here.
- When he was moved in yesterday, it was already night, and the lights were dark, so he didn't go inside at all.
Moreover, there were two young and beautiful maids in the team brought by Xu Qingfeng, and he was not suitable for wandering inside.
It feels very familiar now, which is weird.
After walking a few more steps, I suddenly remembered that I was guided to see Xu Qingfeng in my dream yesterday, and I walked this way, and the scene I saw at that time was exactly the same as the scene I see now.
I couldn't help but feel creepy: "I've never been here, how can I dream of this scene?" β
The more I look at it, the more I feel like it's in my dream.
Seeing that the servant took him to the study, and saw the same doors and windows and eaves as in the dream, Mingxiu was really a little worried, and when he walked in, he would see Xu Qingfeng and a land god sitting together waiting for him.
No wonder he was suspicious, mainly because this scene was too similar to the one in the dream.
I entered the study and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Qingfeng sat there, but there was no land god.
As soon as a smile appeared on his face, he was about to speak, and then the smile froze.
- Although there is no land god sitting in this study, there is a land god hanging on the wall, and the land god hanging on the wall is wearing exactly the same clothes as the one seen in yesterday's dream, and his appearance is also six or seven points similar.
The study is not a place for the gods, Xu Qingfeng also temporarily hung the statue of Liu Qing here this time, because he was going to talk to Mingxiu about the land god today, and in order to be more convincing, he hung the statue here.
I originally wanted to ask someone to invite Mingxiu over, but I didn't expect people to come by themselves, and it seems that the other party is even more anxious than him.
When I think about it, my heart is calm.
Seeing Mingxiu looking at the statue of Liu Qing hanging on the wall in a daze, he couldn't help laughing, stood up and said hello to him.
Mingxiu reacted, responded, and then pointed to the idol on the wall, and asked in a daze:
"Lord Xu, who is this statue?"
Xu Qingfeng smiled and said: "Lord Huang Guan is really a noble person who forgets things, I only saw it last night, and I don't know it today." β
"Last night?"
Mingxiu's heart suddenly burst into shape, and she stammered:
"I went back to my room after dinner last night, and I never saw anyone coming."
"Last night, in this study, Liu Gong sat here, and talked with the Lord about the construction of the City God Temple, everyone talked very happily, and the Lord doesn't remember it now?" Xu Qingfeng said with a smile.
Mingxiu was even more shocked and looked at Xu Qingfeng: "Last night...... Isn't that a dream? β
Then he realized that something was wrong and asked, "Why did you have such a dream?" β
"Is it really just a dream, can two people have the same dream?" Xu Qingfeng asked.
The land lord trusts the dream, and the situation of letting many people dream together, he has not experienced it, and he has already seen it.
But Mingxiu was facing such a thing for the first time, and he was greatly impacted.
After a while, he came to his senses, glanced at the statue of the god hanging on the wall, and asked in a distracted voice:
"The world ...... Are there really gods? β
Xu Qingfeng was very puzzled: "You are a person from the Dao Palace, and you actually don't believe that there are gods in the world?" β
Mingxiu smiled bitterly: "It's because I'm a person from the Dao Palace that I don't believe ......"
Magicians know better than anyone else that they can't do magic.
Xu Qingfeng laughed, and didn't delve into that question, but asked, "What does the viewer think of last night's proposal?" Can you seal Liu Gong as the city god in this place? β
"Yes." Mingxiu's answer was very crisp, not dragging his feet at all.
The initial shock has passed, and now the emotions have stabilized and the right decision can be made.
The land god is fake, and there is nothing wrong with naming him as a city god.
Who said that this power had been delegated to him by Master Yun Yi?
If there had been a city god in this county before, it would be a bit troublesome.
There wasn't one before, so who is not sealed now?
Feng Liuqing is a local city god, and if he can get Xu Qingfeng's strong support, everyone will become a community of interests.
This is the most advantageous option for yourself.
If this land god is real, then it must be sealed.
A god who asks for an official position for himself, can he still not give face?
What kind of fate is it to not give face to the gods, just think about it.
Mingxiu is just a mortal, following the demon subjugation methods learned by Master Yun Yi, he himself knows very well that it is all a lie.
If he really wants to provoke the anger of the gods, he will never be able to stop it.
Whether it's true or not, you have to accept such an arrangement, then there is nothing to say, you can only readily agree.
The two reached an agreement in the study, and Xu Qingfeng sent a clan brother who came from his hometown to follow Mingxiu out to find a suitable place in the city to build a Taoist temple and a city god temple.
The Taoist temple and the City God Temple are the achievements of Mingxiu, and only by establishing the Taoist temple can Mingxiu become the real viewer.
As for the construction funds, Xu Qingfeng will not use his own money to do such a thing, but is ready to use the money and grain of the official warehouse.
This is to promote the Taoism, and it can be reimbursed by the imperial court.
As long as the expenditure is reasonable, no matter how unwilling the household is, it can only pinch its nose and admit it.
In addition, you can also collect donations from merchants in the city.
The so-called promotion to make a fortune, for most people, being an official is to make a fortune, and if they don't get the money, they have to post the money themselves, which is absolutely unbearable.
As the magistrate, he has the power to use the public treasury to build a Taoist temple, and it would be stupid not to use that.
