Chapter 178: The Old City God Returns
The falling flowers intentionally follow the flowing water, and the flowing water ruthlessly loves the falling flowers.
Under the grape trellis of Murong Mansion, a dark shadow kept watching Piaoranzi leave without saying a word. After the god flew away, the man slowly walked out, went straight to the table, picked up the letter, shook it, and dropped out of the letter.
"Heyγγγγγγ" It was Murong Yan who sighed bitterly, and in the dark night, she picked up the letter paper and watched with the eye of heaven,
The beginning of the letter reads: "Chu Piaoran sent a letter to all the ghost officials and ghost pawns of the City God Temple, as well as Murong Yan Xianmei.
"Or call me Xianmei. Murong Yan muttered to himself in a low voice. Take a look at the following:
I have returned from the west to the east, landed in Shucheng, thanks to your exaltation, temporarily acting as the city god, more than ten days, but also for Shucheng to do a little thing. Yesterday, I met a filial son and was deeply touched. Young students learn the Confucian scriptures, know that life is in the world, and they should repay their kindness with filial piety. I miss my mother, still in Shuicheng, life and death are unknown, return to my heart like an arrow, find out the whereabouts of my mother, if his old man is safe and sound, he will definitely come back and continue to serve Shucheng.
This departure is really a helpless move, and I ask you to forgive me for saying goodbye. After I leave, the younger brother Ji Ling will act as the city god, and you will be careful.
Traveling in the middle of the night, the journey was confused, please Yan Mei to tell Aunt Murong to bring a good word, and wish Yan Mei to see Uncle Murong as soon as possible and reunite with the family.
I would like to express my best wishes to all of you, and wish the people of Shucheng a peaceful life. Chu Piaoran respected.
"More than a thousand years have passed, how can your mother still be alive?" Murong Yan shook his head and sighed.
She stared at the boundless night sky obsessively, the people were far away, the mountains and rivers were far away, when would they meet againγγγγγγ
The east gradually turned white, and the clouds were swirling. It's another good day.
The land got up early, the people were old, and naturally they slept less, so they came to the courtyard on crutches, and saw the solemn Murong Yan at a glance, and said with a smile: "Miss, you haven't slept at night?" I see, that storm fairy doesn't dare to come." He saw that Chenghuang was deeply supported by the people, and the Emperor Guan Shengjun came to visit, and dared to go against Yin, didn't he want to go to hell as soon as possible?"
Murong Yan raised his hand lightly and put the letter on the table.
"Whose letter?" the land hurriedly came, picked it up and looked at it, and pointed to the ground with his cane: "Why don't you chase it?"
"I'm γγγγγγ let him go. β
"Why is that?" The land was puzzled, at this time, Wan Suihe, Ji Ling, big talk ghosts, and braggarts led ghost pawns, and they also gathered around, holding the letter and circulating it, sighing: "He is so ruthless, why don't you say hello and leave"
"Ever since Emperor Guan Sheng arrived, I have had a sense that he will γγγγγγ leave soon. Let's keep his body, we can't keep his heart, everyone has their own ambitions, how can we force it?" Murong Yan said.
"Why didn't you go with him?" the land could not guess the girl's thoughts, and it stands to reason that she would follow him.
"I also have parents, and my father has little news, if I leave again, what will my mother do?" Murong Yan looked at the ghost officials, and turned around after speaking.
"How can this work?" said the ghost. "Black and white impermanence is gone, and the city god is also gone, what will we do in the future in our city god temple?"
"What should I do, what else should I do" Ji Ling glanced at everyone. "Last night, Brother Chu asked me to send money to Baihualou, why didn't I expect that he would leave in the middle of the night without saying goodbye. β
"What money?" asked the land, etc.
Ji Ling told the ghosts what Chu Piaoran said last night. Then he said: "Grandpa Land, Brother Wan Suihe, Big Brother Talking Ghost, Big Brother Braggart, Chenghuang explained in the letter, I will act as Chenghuang, what do you think? β
"No, no, no, it's up to you," the ghosts said in unison.
"Okay, Brother Chu is gone, I will temporarily act as the city god, and I will definitely do a good job in the temple, but please help me" Ji Ling followed Piao Ranzi and learned a lot of things, he is now ambitious and continues to do a good job in the temple.
"Ji Ling, what are you talking about?" said the braggart. "We'll help"
"Oh no, outsideγγγγγγ the city god is back outside," shouted the daredevil, stumbling in.
"You said Chu Piaoran is back again?" the ghost officials were surprised.
"It's not Chu Chenghuang, it's Chenghuang" recklessly. "Murong Thousand Mountains City God"
"Oh, let's go to the temple to greet us"
"No, he should go to this mansion first. "The daredevils were on duty last night, at dawn in the morning, there was a lot of noise outside the temple, it turned out to be a big stage outside the courtyard gate, and the master of ceremonies invited the troupe to sing and thank God. The daredevils hid on the roof of the City God Temple and looked into the distance. I saw a familiar figure, reflecting the morning glow in the east, walking towards this side.
"Isn't this Murong Chenghuang?" the daredevils rubbed their eyes, but it wasn't he who hurriedly ran to tell everyone.
"Hello whoa, I'm back again" As he spoke, a person walked through the door of the mansion and walked in with a smile.
"Subordinates, see Murong Chenghuang" All the ghost officials and ghost pawns stepped forward to salute.
"No courtesy" Murong Qianshan walked forward.
"Chenghuang, you γγγγγγ" As soon as the land looked up, he saw Murong Qianshan coming, but there was no shadow on the ground. Now that the sun is red, he is indeed like these ghosts - there is no shadow on the earth.
"Chenghuang, you, you don't have a physical body?" Ji Ling stepped forward and grabbed Murong Qianshan, indeed like himself, there was only a mass of gas human form, and he couldn't help but be sad and choked.
"Don't be upset," Murong Qianshan said with a smile. "Although I no longer have a body, but with the Holy Decree of the Jade Emperor, after I am reincarnated in the next life, I will surpass me as an immortal. β
After he finished speaking, he took out the golden holy decree and showed it to everyone, and said: "These days, I have experienced a lot of hardships, and it is not easy to have this future. β
"What are you still doing in a daze? Go to the back house and inform Mrs. Murong and Miss" Ji Ling pushed the ghost pawn who was in a daze beside him, and the ghost pawn walked like a fly, running towards the back house.
"Why don't you see Brother Piaoran?" Murong Qianshan stared at the copper bell with big eyes and looked around.
"Well, if you had come a day earlier, you would have seen him. "Land Road. "This kid, I won't say goodbye in the middle of the night" After speaking, he handed the letter to Murong Qianshan.
Murong Qianshan looked at it and pointed to the outside of the City God Temple in the distance, "Just now I saw the stage singing in front of the temple, yesterday was the Qingming Festival, this is after the City God goes out on patrol, sing and thank God." β
"Yes, yesterday the city god went out on patrol, and all the people supported it, and the people's umbrella alone was piled up in a courtyard, and nearly three thousand taels were collected. "Land Road.
When Murong Qianshan heard this, his face changed color, probably because he was embarrassed, in the past few years, every time he went on patrol, he got two or three hundred taels of silver, which was good. Just left for more than ten days, how could Chu Piaoran, this kid, be supported by the people of the whole city and receive so much silver?
Just when Murong Qianshan was secretly thinking about it, under the grape trellis on the north side of the patio, his wife came and reproached him: "You went to Heavenly Court, why didn't you reply to us?"
"Father, what kind of official have you beenγγγγγγγ Murong Yan was originally overjoyed, pulled his mother out to greet him, raised his eyes to look at Murong Qianshan, and after saying half a sentence, his face changed, and two tears fell: "Father, your body is γγγγγ"
"I'm fine" Murong Qianshan didn't say a word, Mrs. Murong's body fell softly, she also saw that her husband had no shadow, she had dealt with ghost officials and ghost pawns for many years, but she didn't expect her husband to become a ghost today, this blow was too sudden.
"Mother, wake up" Murong Yan couldn't wipe her tears and helped Mrs. Murong up.
"I'm not an immortal who lives for a thousand years, and even if Peng Zu lives a long life, he will only live for eight hundred years. Murong Qianshan saw his wife and daughter crying, so he was not annoyed, and shouted: "What's more, I was saved by the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth, and I lived for more than a hundred years before, and I was content."
"You γγγγγ when you will be reincarnated, and I will go with you. Mrs. Murong wiped away her tears and said.
"It's not decided yet" Murong Qianshan said: "Yin Tianzi Yin Changsheng, let me come back, first act as the city god, and then order the ghost officials to bring Chu Piaoran to the underworld, and the Yin Tianzi will personally summon him"
"Father, why is this?" Murong Yan said. "Didn't the underworld receive the Baishen watch, knowing that Brother Piao was shrewd and capable, and asked him to go to the underworld to serve?"
"No," Murong Qianshan said. "This is a long story, let Chu Piaoran go to the underworld, it was Yin Tianzi who promised others. Before I went to Heaven, I had already sent the paperwork, but I didn't know what happened, I didn't receive it. β
"Chenghuang forgiveness" Ji Ling pouted and knelt on the ground. "The urgent document transferred by the underworld was torn up by my γγγγγγ. I see that you are going to Heavenly Court, lest there is no one to act as an agent for Chenghuang, this big brother Chu is a new ghost, and he doesn't know anything about Yin Si, so he will fool him, and if you want to leave him as the agent of Chenghuang, I will tear up the document that γγγγγ. β
"Why are you so bold" Murong Qianshan said angrily: "I really don't know, I still said that I didn't receive it in front of the Yin Tianzi." β
"Father, Ji Ling is also well-intentioned. Murong Yan persuaded.
"What should I do now?" Chu Piaoran is also gone, how can I explain to Yin Tianzi?" Murong Qianshan spread his hands
