Chapter Seventy-One: The Leader of My Temple
Food & Wine!
Three rounds of drinking.
Chenghuang is very talkative, and he knows everything about some of Lin Ye's problems, and Lin Ye also knows about Chenghuang's life.
Chenghuang, who was a civil official of the previous dynasty during his lifetime, was surnamed Li.
After this Li Chenghuang was tested for fame during his lifetime, the first unit to be assigned was the county magistrate of Poyang County, which had a very good reputation in the local area.
"Master Li, I've been bothering me for a long time today, I'm really sorry."
"Where, the two virtuous brothers came to me, that is my honor, and I can come often in the future." Lin Ye got up to say goodbye, and Li Chenghuang personally sent the two to the city gate and waved goodbye.
"Senior brother, this Li Chenghuang is not bad, much better than our Chenghuang in Shangyang County, no wonder the incense is so vigorous."
Daohai expressed his opinion, he is also a city god, why does the city god in Shangyang County only know how to stare at the incense.
"If the flowers are in full bloom, the breeze will come."
Dao Hai looked at Lin Ye, touched his head and said, "That's what it means, but what you said is as good as those who read." ”
Lin Ye smiled, this is not what he said, but how can there be a prostitute who is not in vain, if you don't admit it, don't deny it, don't explain it.
"Senior brother, do you think this Li Chenghuang is a good Chenghuang?"
"That's right, to be able to get so many people's incense, it must be a good city god, you also saw the scene at the temple gate just now, the child was almost stabbed by the incense, and it was Li Chenghuang who stopped it in time."
"It's precisely this scene that makes me wonder."
Lin Ye looked at Dao Hai, although Dao Hai had some violent tendencies, but because of his long-term practice and growing up in Miaoying Temple, he had not experienced intrigue and had not seen too much human nature.
But I am different, I don't say I have seen too much darkness in the real world, because of the rapid acquisition of information, I have learned too much darkness.
One moment you may be talking about being honest in front of the camera, and the next moment you will go in.
One set in front of people, one set after people.
Isn't that what officials do best?
That scene was really a bit too coincidental for him to think about it too much.
"Senior brother, what do you mean by that?"
Daohai was a little confused, and he didn't understand the meaning of the word "show" yet.
"This Li Chenghuang has a lot of flaws in his words."
Lin Ye lowered his voice and said: "First of all, according to what he said, he regretted Ye Zhiyuan's death, Ye Zhiyuan's soul left, and he gave him the Soul Bead, which can barely be explained, but since he regrets it, what about Ye Zhiyuan's wife and children, knowing that Ye Zhiyuan's wife and children have no rice to put in the pot, they also stand by and watch, and the reason that they are not allowed to meddle in the affairs of the yang world as a city god can be said in the past, but since Ye Zhiyuan's wife and children are dead, what is the meaning of giving this soul bead?" ”
"Even if Ye Zhiyuan goes to other places and comes back later to gain fame, he still has to face the fact of his death, and Ye Zhiyuan's wife and children only have hatred for Ye Zhiyuan, let Ye Zhiyuan's wife and children continue to stay in the yang world, and what awaits Ye Zhiyuan will only be the resentment of his wife and children."
"If Li Chenghuang really treats Ye Zhiyuan as a nephew, how can he let Ye Zhiyuan know that the moment he dies, he will have to bear the resentment of his wife and children and go to the yang world?"
Dao Hai was a little dazed, and after thinking about it, he replied: "It may be that Li Chenghuang wants to give Ye Zhiyuan and his wife and children one last chance to meet, even if it is just a soul meeting." ”
"Even if Li Chenghuang thinks so, Ye Zhiyuan was let go by him, he treats Ye Zhiyuan as a nephew, and at the first time Ye Zhiyuan comes back, he let Yin Cha come to ask for his soul, which is not like an act of his nephew."
Lin Ye's eyes sank slightly, which was the key reason why he suspected this Li Chenghuang.
"It's really a little unreasonable, but Li Chenghuang is a city god, and Ye Zhiyuan is just a scholar who has no ambitions, so there shouldn't be anything to do with the two."
"Who knows." Lin Ye looked at Dao Hai and asked, "Senior brother, you give me an explanation, if you fight, are you the opponent of that city god?" ”
Dao Hai smiled a little innocently, and said: "That's naturally not good, this Li Chenghuang is already two Jiazi who are sealed Chenghuang, it's not something I can deal with, our Xinchenghuang in Shangyang County, in fact, I am not his opponent, the reason why I dared to set fire to the Chenghuang Temple in the first place is that there are masters behind them." ”
Lin Ye: ......
He became more and more suspicious that Dao Hai was a fake fool, but in fact, he was wise and foolish.
"If you want to know the truth, you can only find Ye Zhiyuan and his family, but now Ye Zhiyuan's family is afraid that they have been sent away by Li Chenghuang."
"Senior brother, if you want to figure it out, just go back to the Chenghuang Temple in Shangyang County."
"What do you mean?"
Lin Ye was a little puzzled, this Ye Zhiyuan is from Poyang County, what does it have to do with Shangyang County?
"Ye Zhiyuan has been in Shangyang County for six years, although he is a soul, but the Shangyang County City God Book must have Ye Zhiyuan's name, as long as he gets the City God Book, he can summon Ye Zhiyuan's soul to ask clearly."
"Can this be? Is the Chenghuang of Shangyang County willing to give the Chenghuang register? ”
"Chenghuang has to go out on patrol every fifteenth, and it's time to calculate the time."
Dao Hai explained some things about the city god to Lin Ye, and Lin Ye knew that the Yin Si city god also had to work.
On the fifteenth day of every month, the city god will go out on patrol and patrol all over the area under his jurisdiction, which is to prevent those land lords and yin cha from oppressing ghosts and doing evil, or colluding with the yang people, which is somewhat similar to the meaning of the inspection team coming down to inspect.
If it is other City God Temple, even if it is City God's patrol, there must be a Yin Difference guarding the City God Temple, but not long after Shangyang County's City God took office, the incense offering is not vigorous, and the Yin Difference has not been recruited much, in order to maintain the City God's patrol pomp, there must not be a few Yin Errors left in the temple.
Just do it!
Lin Ye and Daohai didn't ink, and rushed back to Shangyang County overnight.
"My lord, these two have already left the realm."
Li Chenghuang was in the backyard of Chenghuang, listening to the report of his subordinates, waving his hand to signal his subordinates to retreat, and then sighed quietly, one wrong step, one wrong step.
……
……
Shangyang County.
Lin Ye and Daohai rushed back to Shangyang County, and the two did not return to the county seat as soon as possible, but went to Miaoying Temple.
"Amitabha, absolutely not, Dao Hai, why don't you follow Dao Ji together."
Dao Yuan listened to Lin Ye and Dao Hai's intentions, and categorically refused.
Is the Book of the City God so easy to steal?
The most important thing is that their Miaoying Temple is not as good as before, and it is not good to have a bad relationship with the city god.
"Senior brother, a set of everlasting lights." Lin Ye offered a bid.
"It's useless for you to have ten sets, it's not ...... at all"
"Ten sets."
Daoyuan: ......
"Senior Brother Daoji, are you serious?"
"Amitabha, monks don't speak."
"Well, you also have a reason, since this is the case, then I will help you."
……
……
City God on patrol!
Yang people avoid.
The fifteenth day of the lunar calendar!
Shangyang County Chenghuang sat in a sedan chair, and the eight people in front and behind opened the road and began the inspection journey.
At the corner not far from the City God Temple, two black shadows watched the City God patrol leave the city, walk out of the corner, and walk towards the City God Temple.
At the entrance of the temple, there were no guards in the shadows, and the two figures directly climbed over the wall to enter, and then returned to the temple hall through the side door.
"Where does this city god book usually be placed?"
The two figures were naturally Lin Ye and Dao Hai, Lin Ye glanced around the hall, found nothing, and asked Dao Hai in a low voice.
"It's usually placed near the statue."
Dao Hai jumped onto the god platform in a leap, and moved the statue of the city god very rudely, causing a lot of movement, Lin Ye was about to make a reminder when he saw this, but there was a sound at the back door.
"Who's making a noise here?"
A yin cha walked out of the back door, and just saw Dao Hai moving the statue, and without saying a word, the iron rope in his hand was waved.
"Thief dares!"
Dao Hai stretched out his left hand, grabbed the chain in his hand, and then violently forced, Yin almost stumbled, and was directly dragged over.
"Just in time."
Lin Ye looked at the Yin Difference, his eyes lit up, he didn't know where the City God Book was placed, Yin Qi must know.
"You...... Who are you, and why did you break into the temple? ”
Yin Cha looked at Dao Hai with some fear, but Lin Ye and Dao Hai both covered their faces, especially Dao Hai, Lin Ye also specially found a hood for him to wear.
"If you don't want to be scattered, just tell us, where is the City God's Book?"
"Chenghuangshu, you are here for Chenghuangshu?"
Yin Cha was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he suddenly laughed, and said: "The City God Book can only be opened by the City God, even if you get it, it will be useless." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, just say it if you say it, what are you talking about!"
"The book of the gods is on the beam above the idol."
Yin Cha pointed to the beam of the room, Lin Ye jumped up, and there was a brocade box on the beam of the room, and after opening it, there was a booklet inside.
Holding the booklet, Lin Ye found that he couldn't open it, it looked like a thin booklet, and the pages weighed as much as a thousand pounds.
Lin Ye gave Dao Hai a look, Dao Hai's palm flashed with Buddha light, and he didn't react while he was in the dark, and slapped the yin with one palm.
"Senior brother, if I want to open this City God Book, I need some time."
The City God Book is not only open by City God, but also by cultivators, but it takes time, which Lin Ye and Dao Hai had predicted.
"Okay, then I'll work hard for you here, and I'll go over there and drag the City God."
……
……
Yang Chenghuang was very happy, and after a trip, there were no unjust cases of evil ghosts in the jurisdiction.
But what really made him happy was that the new abbot of Myoo Temple, Master Michigen, personally invited him to Myoo Temple as a guest.
Since he served as the city god, this is the first time that Miaoying Temple has taken the initiative to invite, and the new abbot of Miaoying Temple is waiting in person on his way out on the road.
When Lin Ye arrived at Miaoying Temple, he happened to see Dao Yuan talking happily with Chenghuang Ye.
Seeing Lin Ye coming, Dao Yuan smiled and introduced: "Lord Chenghuang, let me introduce you, this is Dao Ji, a disciple of the Su family of my Miaoying Temple, but I am the best among the many lay disciples of Miaoying Temple. ”
"The last time I saw it, it was indeed the best."
Yang Chenghuang thought of the scene of scolding in front of him that day, he was indeed a leader.
It's too rare.
