Chapter 26: The Judge Arrives
Bai Gu was tired and collapsed on the ground, looking at the wild mushrooms that had been emptied, and his old face was full of joy.
The crutches in his hand unknowingly grew branches, and more than a dozen shoots were already hanging on them.
His body was extremely tired, but he clearly felt that the divine power in his body had recovered a lot.
The incense was rolling, and he was confused between the mountains and forests, and this feeling made the tip of his nose sour.
People fight for a breath and God receives a stick of incense.
He had never enjoyed such earthly incense, let alone the joy of being a god.
Lu Gong also felt unprecedented happiness.
In one day, there were more than 500 more offering money in his body, and he himself collected more than 100 merit points, and now the total number of merit points has reached 233 points.
If you can persist like this for three days, then you will soon be able to reach five hundred points, which is Lu Gong's goal this time.
Through the last time, he had realized that if the copper coins were offered by the villagers, he would be able to collect one-fifth of the merit points himself. And if it is offered by the gods, you can take it all.
I don't know how long it took, but Bai Gu finally regained some strength and got up and walked to Lu Gong's.
Looking at his movements, Lu Gong guessed what he wanted to do, and said in advance: "Senior Mountain God, don't rush to give me the offering money first, it will be useful to keep it." β
Shiratani furrowed his brows. Since he realized Lu Gong's desire for money for offerings, he also wanted to help Lu Gong. Helplessly, he really had no choice.
Similarly, he did not inquire about the purpose of LΓΌ Gong's collection of offering money.
After all, everyone will have their own secrets, and even more so the gods.
"Will it be useful?" Bai Gu said curiously.
"It is estimated that in a few days, someone from the county government will come. If I'm not mistaken, it might be the judge! β
According to the system of the Chinese Dynasty, where the city god is located, there must be judges, and they complement each other.
Although the Chenghuang of Tianshui County is only the most ordinary county level, it is also equipped with the position of judge, in order to prepare for the communication between the two yamen of Yin and Yang.
If it is only between the gods and does not involve the people, the Yin Yamen can dispose of it by itself. But this time, Lu Gong deliberately expanded the time to the yang world, in order to let the county government come forward.
If you want to restore the mountain god to the godhood and reshape the godhead, the most direct way is to ask the judge to add the name of Bai Gu back to the god book.
It can't be very smooth at this time, especially the Tianshui County Chenghuang will inevitably get in the way, but Lu Gong is confident.
After all, in the world, Lu Gong, who has a human soul, still has some experience.
Hearing the word judge, Bai Gu's face changed drastically.
What he fears most now is this kind of cultivator who holds the power of life and death. In a way, they didn't take the gods seriously.
"Judge of Tianshui County, but he is a day wandering realm monk whose strength is not lower than Zhao Changlong!" There was unconcealed fear in Shiratani's eyes.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the rest." Lu Gong said softly.
As he expected, in the next two days, the villagers were still in an endless stream, especially after tasting the sweetness, more and more people rushed here.
If it weren't for the long distance, I'm afraid Qinglan Mountain would have been trampled down.
On the fifteenth day of the first month, the day after the covenant of the third day.
When the back of the last tourist disappeared into the mountain road, Lu Gong found that his merit points were approaching five hundred.
And on his body, he was carrying nearly 2,000 offering money.
The heavy sense of satisfaction gave Lu Gong a trace of confidence.
Bai Gu has also been busy these days, dealing with the villagers during the day, and even more so at night to perform rejuvenation techniques.
If it weren't for the fact that the current incense was enough to restore his divine power extremely quickly, he would never have been able to do so much.
When the villagers left and Bai Gu sat down again, Wang Yi had already received Lu Gong's instructions and left the mountain temple.
"Next, it's just a matter of waiting!"
Lu Gong knew it in his heart. Bai Gu was even more so, although he knew very well how much offering money was in the merit box at this time, he didn't move it.
It wasn't until the third day when Qinglan Mountain regained calm that a cyan official robe crossed the mountain and landed in front of the mountain temple. Shiratani took a deep breath, carefully straightened his scruffy beard, and walked out of the temple.
The person who came has just passed the year of standing, his face is like a crown of jade, and he has a beautiful beard.
"The little god greets the judge!" Bai Gu held his cane, which was already covered with green, and hurriedly saluted.
The young man stared at him coldly, and he saw that Bai Gu was furious in the bottom of his heart.
Shirayani's hands tightened and tightened, and his waist, which was already unable to straighten up, bent even more towards the ground.
"Mr. Bai is a good method."
He spoke suddenly, startling Shiratani.
Bai Gu had never faced this judge who had the power of life and death in Tianshui County head-on, and his body couldn't help but tremble, but he didn't know how to deal with it.
didn't hear Lu Gong speak, he could only bite the bullet. "The little god doesn't dare."
"Look up." The man's brow moved slightly.
Bai Gu stretched an old face and lifted it with difficulty.
Looking at his cautious appearance, the man seemed a little surprised. But he is not one of those people who drags mud and water, and he said straight to the point: "I received a report from someone that you entered Fulong Town three days ago and guided the villagers to come and burn incense and worship you, but is there such a thing?" β
Shiratani was asked like this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Lu Gong carefully observed the man in front of him for a while, and when he saw that Bai Gu was embarrassed, he responded directly.
"I tell you, this is true."
"Huh?" The man's face moved slightly, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the temple, but he didn't feel anything unusual.
Lu Gong reported to his home. "My lord, I am the merit box in front of the temple."
"Merit box?" The man took a step and came to Lu Gong in an instant.
Only then did Lu Gong realize that the man in front of him was quite tall, estimated to be more than eight feet.
The man didn't seem to be surprised how a merit box could speak, but just smiled: "This is strange. β
"We've been waiting here for a long time." Lu Gong said directly.
Sure enough, the man raised his eyebrows. "Wait for me?"
"Didn't your lord just ask us about attracting the people of Fulong Town to worship?" Lu Gong's voice was calm, "What do you think our adults are making such a big move for?" β
"Hahaha, your box is interesting. I didn't even ask you, but you asked about me. β
Lu Gong had been observing the changes in his demeanor, and found that he was not angry because of this, and suddenly had a plan in his heart.
"Since the judge is also a cheerful person, then I will say it directly. It was indeed our doing, and the purpose was to get the attention of adults. Now it seems that we succeeded. Lu Gong smiled.
"To lure me in?" As a judge, he should have been one rank higher than the mountain god. This time, it was more about investigation and questioning.
After all, this affected the balance of the Yin Division of Tianshui County.
But he didn't expect that he would be led by the nose when he came.
However, instead of being angry, he was a little curious.
"yes. If we don't, how can we meet you? Lu Gong said seriously.
