Time passed day by day, and soon more than a month passed, as the search was ineffective, the strict guards in various places were gradually withdrawn, and the pavilion at the entrance of the Ding family, Su Hao basically did not go, only a few officials were left pretending, as for the boatmen, the government did not speak, they could only continue to suffer, and many boatmen chose to leave the ferry and go to the city to be servants.

…

On the other hand, Su Hao came to the Chenghuang Temple in the county, in a city, the most lively place is always around the Chenghuang Temple, because in the eyes of the people, whether it is the Confucius Temple or the Guandi Temple, they are all places where the rich and noble families who can afford to support scholars or warriors will often go, and ordinary people estimate that they will not go once a year.

The City God Temple is different, in the eyes of the common people, the City God Temple is a "family temple", want to ask for the wind and rain in life, or other miscellaneous wishes, the people will come to the City God Temple, which also creates the prosperity around the City God Temple.

Of course, Su Hao didn't come to make a wish, as a left-handed warlock, he only believed in himself, he came to find someone this time.

As the city god temple in Shangqiu County, it is natural that the incense is prosperous, even if it is not the first and fifteenth day of the new year, the people who come to worship incense in the city god temple are still endless, and the temple is full of green smoke.

As soon as he stepped into the City God Temple, Su Hao sensed an indescribable force pressing on his body, and the source of this power was the statue of the City God in the main hall, Su Hao knew that this was the City God staring at him!

In the travelogues of several generations of ancestors of the Su family, one thing is recorded, in this world, gods and spirits really exist!

It's just that I don't know for what reason, the gods never interfere in the affairs of the world, and the deeds of the gods appearing in various places are basically man-made.

"This layman, the family teacher is invited!"

At this time, a young man wearing a coat and dressed as a Taoist priest came to Su Hao to salute.

"Please lead the way!"

Su Hao also returned the salute, he knew that it was Chenghuang who notified the temple blessing, but he came to find the temple blessing this time, so naturally he would not refuse.

"Layman, please!"

A young man walked ahead.

When I came to the back hall, an old man who was also wearing a coat and dressed as a Taoist priest had long known that he was waiting here, and it was Zhu Mengyan of the Chenghuang Temple in Shangqiu County.

When he saw that the person who came in was Su Hao, the new head catcher in Shangqiu County, Meng Yan was also confused, but he quickly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Su Zhutou, who did the old man think was the same way to come to my City God Temple?" ”

"Disturb suddenly, I hope the old man will not be surprised."

Su Hao smiled and returned a salute, although Meng Yan's master and apprentice are dressed as Taoist priests, but in fact, the two are not from the Taoist sect, really, Miao Zhu is the same as him, belongs to the left Taoist warlock, and the power of the Miao Zhu family comes from the gods worshipped, which is commonly known as "Shen Da" and "Lingtong", the better the relationship with the gods, the more divine power can be borrowed.

"Divine Fighting" is a technique rather than a law, cultivation is not self-cultivation, "Divine Fighting" is the most widely spread Taoist orthodox spell in the side door and left road, and the Su family also has it, but the people of the Su family have never practiced it.

The power of the "god fighting" technique comes from the gods enshrined, and it is divided into three classes according to the object of worship, the highest is the Taoist god or the Bodhisattva Arhat of Buddhism, such as Guan Gong, Erlang God, Eighteen Arhats, etc., and the divine power borrowed from these gods is not too much hidden danger.

The second class is the gods such as the city god, the land, and the Yin Priest, and the power that this kind of god can borrow is relatively weak, and the side effects are much greater, which will cause physical weakness.

However, the power of these two gods is not something you can borrow, and those who can borrow divine power from Taoist gods and Buddhist bodhisattvas and Arhats are basically Taoists and Buddhists or favored by the gods, while the city god and land are subject to geographical restrictions, and they cannot borrow divine power out of the jurisdiction of the city god and the land, and if you want to borrow power from the city god and the land, you can only become a temple blessing.

The lowest is to worship some wild gods or lonely souls and wild ghosts, if you worship these things, then you can only ask for more blessings, if you meet a good person, at most you will have a life, and if you meet an evil person, your family may die, and even reincarnation is a luxury.

The reason why the people of their Su family don't practice is because they don't have the ability to climb the thighs of those righteous gods, and there are too many restrictions such as temple blessings, which are not what the Su family wants, and the divine power borrowed from gods such as city gods and land is not much, at most it is comparable to some second-rate martial artists, and the Su family doesn't look down on it very much.

"I don't know what happened when Su Zhutou came to find the old man?"

At this time, Meng Yan's voice sounded again.

"Old man, the kid just arrived in Shangqiu County, and he wants to buy some cultivation things, but he is not familiar with Shangqiu County, so he wants to ask the old man to introduce him on his behalf."

Su Hao smiled and arched his hand, and then casually took out a small gold bar weighing ten taels from his sleeve and put it on the table.

Although Meng Yan, as the temple of the City God Temple, basically can't get out of Shangqiu County, but Meng Yan has been in Shangqiu County for decades, and he can't hide the big and small things in the Defu from him.

"Su Zhutou is too polite."

Meng Yan smiled and accepted the small gold bar: "The most widely used way in the Guide Mansion is the Lu family, the Lu family has feng shui, and friends are all over the world, if Su Zhutou wants to buy things for cultivation, you can go to the Lu family in Fucheng to have a look." ”

"I hope the old man can introduce him on his behalf."

Hearing this, Su Hao arched his hand and said, these ten taels of gold naturally can't just change the name, Meng Yan also has to be a guide for him, the circle of left-handed warlocks in any place is quite xenophobic, even if you have money, someone has to guide the way, otherwise it will not be so easy to enter.

"It's nature."

Meng Yan nodded and smiled: "Su Zhutou will come here again tomorrow morning, and the old man will personally take Su Zhutou to visit the Lu family." ”

For him, this is just a gesture, of course, the reason why he agreed to lead the way for Su Hao so easily is mainly because of Su Hao's identity as the head catcher, and the guide is not so easy to be, if he leads the thief to the Lu family, not only will his reputation be stinky, but the Lu family will not let him go.

"Then please leave it to the old man."

Su Hao gave up, the Su family, as the ancestral Zuo Dao family, naturally knew the risk of guiding the way.

After asking Meng Yan about the situation of the Zuo Dao sub-circle of the Guide Mansion, Su Hao got up and said goodbye.

…

Next.

Su Hao washed up early and came to the City God Temple, and at this time Meng Yan had already prepared the carriage, although Fucheng was not far from Shangqiu County, but Meng Yan was old, and it was impossible for him to withstand the rapid bumps of riding a horse like Su Hao, a young man, and it would take an hour or two to think of Fucheng.
