Chapter Fifty-Seven: The City God Arrives

Gourd bracelets?

Most of the gentry here are engaged in business and know what the meaning of the gourd is: a small mouth and a big belly, it can absorb the wealth of the Quartet, symbolizing the fullness of the treasury and the blessing of wealth.

However, many big people who have no problem with perception feel that this gift is not as simple as imagined.

You must know that compared with the hundred-year-old peach wood sword, these inconspicuous little gourds contain more yang energy, like the youngest Ren Tingting, who has entered the Tao, Qiusheng, not only perceives the warmth, but also feels the slightest sense of ant walking, as if he has been struck by a slight lightning.

Since they had obtained a talisman made of the same material, they all knew that Senior Brother Meng was bleeding again.

For now, the remaining material is barely strong, and you have to be careful and careful to produce a superb peachwood sword, as well as a large number of wood chips containing yang energy and thunder energy.

However, Meng Fan didn't feel reluctant, with his current control, there would definitely be no mistakes.

In other words, it is absolutely no problem to wither the peachwood sword, maybe there will be left, and there is no need to measure yourself with Qiusheng's experience.

After Ren Tingting, the three apprentices, and the nephew Meng Fan gave the gifts, there was no special part of the birthday banquet, and everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, pushing the atmosphere in a more enthusiastic direction.

Uncle Nine was so happy, and the guests were too enthusiastic, the wine glass had not been empty for a long time, and Ah Wei even held the wine jug and stood by and waited, pouring wine for him at any time.

Mao Shanming, who originally prepared a little gift, saw that the givers were all juniors, so according to the rules agreed by everyone, he did not do it again.

"Thank you very much."

"Catching demons and curing evil is a matter of Taoism, and everyone loves it."

Uncle Jiu, who usually drinks three or two rice wines only when he is in a good mood, has changed his normal state and drank until his face is flushed, and he has not used mana to resolve it.

As far as today is concerned, there are no twists and turns, and the ups and downs of the plot in the script do not appear.

At least that's what Meng Fan thought.

If there is really any evil ghost or Zuo Dao, who thinks it is too uncomfortable to live and really comes to find something, don't blame him for being ruthless......

"It's okay, it's okay."

"Uncle Shi can still drink."

Uncle Nine sat on the main seat, with an unclear smile on the corner of his mouth, obviously a little too much, and his consciousness was affected.

At this moment, Wen Cai actually took the initiative to stand up, put down his arrogance to block the wine for the master, and then ...... After three cups, the whole person collapsed directly on the chair and began to babble unconsciously.

At this point, there is no need to re-pour, and the restaurant owner begins to speed up the pace of serving, all kinds of delicacies, delicacies, and home-cooked dishes.

Meng Fan patted his junior brother Wencai's shoulder, a wisp of mana entered his body, and he traveled quickly along the limbs and hundreds of remains, and this kid instantly sobered up, but it was a bit of a waste of wine, which was equivalent to drinking in vain.

However, I thought that this banquet, which started with a lively and lively atmosphere, would end in the same way, but there were twists and turns......

At the entrance of the box, a figure suddenly walked out, wearing an official uniform of the Ming Dynasty-

After all, after he came to the Republic of China, he dealt with a lot of Qing Dynasty zombies, so he had a certain understanding of the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, and the person who came did not have a money rattail and a black gauze hat on his head.

Therefore, it can only be the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to this, strange visitors also have a ghostly aura on them.

Maybe it was an illusion, Meng Fan smelled the smell of incense......

"This friend, you look so familiar, are you also here to attend Uncle Nine's birthday banquet?"

When the words fell, comprador Hong pondered.

County Magistrate Ma, who was seated next to the main seat, also muttered, saying that he felt the same way.

It is worth mentioning that the county magistrate surnamed Ma has a younger brother named Ma Bond, who once spent money to buy several letters of appointment, which caused a sensation.

However, during his tenure, he encountered extremely vicious bandits, and his life and death are unknown, and it is estimated that there will be more than one luck.

And Meng Fan calculated the time, I am afraid that he is not saved, and there is a high probability that he has been blown off the lower half of his body and died in the silver pile.

"It turned out to be Xianyoubo."

Uncle Nine immediately became sober, and his originally rosy cheeks returned to normal.

"Shine on your ...... The Emperor of the City! ”

The county magistrate Ma was shocked, let out a loud sound, and stood up from his position, when he was a new official, the first thing he did was to sleep with the city emperor, no wonder he was so familiar.

Ahem......

More precisely, it is to visit the emperor, offer incense and tribute in front of the statue, and then spend the night there.

The belief in the city emperor arose during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it gradually evolved from a guardian god to a "yin official" corresponding to the "yang official" sent by the imperial court, responsible for handling all kinds of underworld affairs in the area under its jurisdiction.

Especially in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang in the first month of the second year of Hongwu enshrined the emperor god of Kyoto and the city of the world, perfecting this system, when the emperor god of Kyoto (Yingtianfu) city was enshrined:

Chengtian Jianguo Si Min ascended to the King of Fu Ming Ling.

Bian, Hao, Dove, He, and other Ming Longxing land of the city emperor was also named the first product of the king, the other city emperor is the inspection of the city of the city emperor Wei Linggong, was named the second product, the state city emperor is the inspection of the city of the city of the emperor Wei Linghou, the official residence is the third product, and the county emperor was awarded the inspection of the city emperor Xian Youbo, is the fourth product.

In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, several types of city emperors were added, but no matter how they changed, they could not change the fact that the status of city emperors was respected.

Every new official took office, and most of them went to meet the emperor of the city in accordance with the rules, and asked the gods to assist him in handling local political affairs together, so as to reach the highest levelβ€”β€”

The officials did their best, and the right of God served their duties, and they were worthy of the people.

At this moment, the true god who had been worshipping appeared in front of them, and everyone was shocked and began to check their own behavior, for fear of being arrested and punished.

There are also people who are active and thoughtful, thinking about the deep meaning of the city emperor attending the birthday banquet of the ninth uncle.

Then, everyone became restrained and stopped talking loudly, after all, this was the first time they had seen a god in their lives, and they were the parents who had been worshiped by their ancestors for hundreds of years.

Only Meng Fan didn't particularly care, he had come into contact with more high-level gods, and his eyes were completely opened, and now he can eat when he should eat and drink when he should drink......

Be the object of admiration for others.

Li Chenghuang didn't care either, sitting in the position of the original county magistrate of Ma, pushing the cup and changing the cup with Uncle Jiu, and talking about the wine and the meaning of closeness, overflowing with words.

Needless to say, it is clear that there is something to ask for.

Meng Fan estimated in his heart that this old man was just like the day and night wandering god sent by the Emperor of Tianzhou City to deliver the message, and he wanted to order a new version of the dark banknote, but it was not easy to say it rashly, so he simply used the name of birthday to set a wave of almost.

Mr. Lu Xun said it well:

Gods and demons are all human, and the spirit is also sophisticated.

The underworld seems to be one level higher than the yang world, and it is the destination of all souls, but in fact, in the eyes of insiders like Maoshan disciples, it is not mysterious, and it needs to be feared, but there is no need to grovel.

And those officials who are responsible for managing the affairs of the Yin Division are even more sophisticated than the people in the yang world.

Maoshan, who gradually lost his sense of existence, secretly vowed to study Taoism hard and become a man of the hour with a wide range of friends like Lin Jiu Daoyou.
