Chapter 8: The City God in Tsing Yi

"Under is Zhu Xiaoshi, who lives under Zhushan Mountain, because he needs to meet the Emperor of the General Division, so he has no intention of standing outside the door, if he is offended, I hope you will forgive me." After all, Zhu Xiaoshi was only a sixteen-year-old boy, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared when he saw this tall, mighty, and red-faced man with a lofty temperament. What's more, he sneaked up, and he was a little unreasonable, so Zhu Xiaoshi inevitably became polite.

"You're a funny little one." Hearing Zhu Xiaoshi speak politely, and he also called himself "adult", the red-faced Chinese tone was obviously eased a lot.

"The deity is the emperor who is in charge of the underworld, what is the matter with you coming to the deity? Do you have any grievances in the world? Looking at Zhu Xiaoshi, who was a little reckless but not rude, the red-faced man asked.

"It turns out that you are the Emperor of the General Division of the General Temple!" As soon as Zhu Xiaoshi heard this red-faced man say that he was the Emperor of the General Division, he was so happy that he forgot his honorific title, and the word you blurted out. After speaking, Zhu Xiaoshi immediately felt that he had lost his words, but the words had already been spoken, as if it was difficult to collect the water, and in a hurry, Zhu Xiaoshi actually covered his mouth with his hand, as if he was afraid that he would say something wrong again.

"You're a funny little one." Looking at Zhu Xiaoshi, the red-faced emperor of the general secretary, and the subordinates in Tsing Yi standing next to him, couldn't help but smile.

Suddenly, due to the wish Xiaoshi hand and foot dance. The golden axe with the words "Taishan Stone Dare" printed on the shirt on his waist was exposed, and it also bloomed with a shining golden light.

"The axe that Shi Sheng used to subdue demons and subdue demons back then, why was it on you?" Seeing the golden axe carried by Zhu Xiaoshi, the Emperor General Regained his majestic demeanor and asked very seriously.

"I, I am the son of Taishan Shi Dang, my name is Zhu Xiaoshi. Emperor Zongsi, I came this time to let you tell me where my father Taishan Shi Dare is now? It was Uncle Picker who asked me to come to you before he died. Due to his excitement, Zhu Xiaoshi stammered when he said "I", but this time he said "you" in his words, not "you" just now. ”

"Good boy, you are really still in the world." Unexpectedly, the Emperor General, who was still very serious just now, immediately became extremely concerned about Zhu Xiaoshi as soon as he understood Zhu Xiaoshi's origin and purpose of coming here. The Emperor of the General Division personally took Zhu Xiaoshi's hand and asked Zhu Xiaoshi to come to the main hall to sit down and rest. He also instructed the messenger to give Zhu Xiaoshi a good cup of tea for his daughter of Mount Tai.

"Emperor, may I ask where my father Taishan Shi is now? I want to find my father. After resting for a while, the conversation between Zhu Xiaoshi and the Emperor of the General Division finally got to the point.

"Don't worry, kid." The Emperor of the General Division looked at Zhu Xiaoshi with a kind face, and then said to the Tsing Yi subordinate next to him: "Chenghuang, you can tell Zhu Xiaoshi about Shi Sheng's current situation." ”

"Chenghuang, it turns out that this Tsing Yi subordinate is the Chenghuang in the temple of the General Division next to the City God and the Land of the Emperor of the General Division?"

Uncle Picker explained the traditional Chinese culture to Zhu Xiaoshi every night before his death, and remembered that Uncle Pickshan said: Chenghuang is one of the eight gods of Confucianism "Zhou Guan", and is the god of Chinese folk and Taoism who believes in guarding the city. is also a magistrate in the world of the underworld, and his authority is equivalent to that of a county magistrate in the human world. Chenghuang is an official position that is specially responsible for the blessing of life and the judgment of good and evil, and is also called a judge because it has the duty of judging people's lives.

"Zhu Xiaoshi, you will naturally know about your father's past in the future when you have advanced skills, fame, and cultivation results, but it's too early to tell you." Chenghuang, who was dressed in green clothes, looked at Zhu Xiaoshi and said slowly.

"Then when will I be able to attain the right fruition?" Zhu Xiaoshi saw that Chenghuang did not tell the news that his father Taishan Shi dared to be, and did not continue to ask, but still asked what Xia Chenghuang said, "Cultivation is a positive result." ”

"Have you heard the story of Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice traveling west to learn scriptures?" Chenghuang did not answer Zhu Xiaoshi's question directly.

"I've heard since I was a child that Tang Seng and Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Monk and apprentice overcame the ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties, and finally retrieved the true scriptures and achieved positive results." I wish Xiaoshi a refreshing answer.

"If you want to achieve positive results, from an ordinary mortal to a person as famous as your father Taishan Shi Dangdang, you will also have to go through countless hardships and setbacks." Chenghuang continued.

"I see." Zhu Xiaoshi didn't say much at the moment, because in his heart, he had already understood everything.

"Zhu Xiaoshi, you heard it just now when you stood outside the door. Do you think that a good official like Zhao Guolin, who asks for the people's life, should live another hundred days and die? Seeing that Zhu Xiaoshi seemed to have understood something, the Emperor of the General Division suddenly changed his words and talked about the topic of Zhao Guolin, the prefect of Tai'an.

"Of course not!" Hearing the words of the Emperor General, Zhu Xiaoshi immediately replied categorically. "Emperor, you are the supreme deity of the Yin Cao Difu who records the life and death of the master, punishes evil and promotes good, why don't you extend Zhao Guolin's lifespan?" Looking at the Emperor of the General Division, Zhu Xiaoshi asked with a puzzled expression.

"You don't know." Unexpectedly, the majestic Emperor General Division would also have a depressed face. "My brother is the Emperor Dongyue, that is, the god of Mount Tai enshrined in the Song Tianzhen Temple in the Dai Temple of Tai'an Mansion. Emperor Dongyue has the important function of being the master of life and death. Even if I am the supreme deity of the Netherworld, I will consult with him in everything. ”

"I originally wanted to order the judge to revise the book of life and death to continue Zhao Guolin's twenty-year life. But my brother, who is also Emperor Dongyue, insists that life and death are determined by heaven and heaven, and he does not agree, so I have nothing to do. When the Emperor said this, he frowned.

"I see." After listening to what the Emperor of the General Division said, Zhu Xiaoshi finally understood the ins and outs of the problem.

"Zhu Xiaoshi, Zhao Guolin is a generation of celebrities in Tai'an. After a hundred years, his name will be the same as the other four celebrities, enshrined in the Taishan Puzhao Temple to go up in the Taishan Five Sages Temple, for such a Taishan celebrity, are you willing to come to the rescue? The Emperor looked at Zhu Xiaoshi expectantly.

"Of course I do! Where there is unevenness, there is my wish Xiaoshi. Looking at the Emperor of the General Division, Zhu Xiaoshi patted his chest and said.

"Okay, he is worthy of being the son of Taishan Shi." Seeing Zhu Xiaoshi so straightforward and bold, the Emperor of the General Division and Chenghuang smiled.

"This is a yin-yang talisman that I have endowed with special mana, hold it." After saying that, the Emperor suddenly took out a red symbol and a coin from his long sleeve.

Although Zhu Xiaoshi didn't know what it was for, he hurriedly took it and held it in his hand.

"I wish Xiaoshi, Zhao Guolin's longevity still has a full hundred days. The black and white impermanence that specializes in locking people's souls in the yang world is on the road at this moment, I want you to find Zhao Guolin within 100 days, and let Zhao Guolin take this yin and yang talisman with him. In this way, black and white impermanence will not be able to feel Zhao Guolin's presence for ten days, and then you will immediately bring Zhao Guolin to the main temple, and the deity will come forward to protect him. ”

"I want to find Zhao Guolin in 100 days?" Although Zhu Xiaoshi had made up his mind to save Zhao Guolin, he couldn't help but feel surprised when he heard the Emperor of the General Division say this.
