In the hotel, guests came in one after another, sitting around and talking about leisure.

"Good weather today, Brother Zhang, what have you seen and heard in Huizhou?" beside Piao Ranzi, the purple-faced drinker asked the drinker at the opposite table.

"Yes, yes. The man at the table had a red face. "There are many pilgrims in the City God Temple, but they don't dare to go. ”

"Why is that?"

"I heard that in the morning, many children passed by in front of the temple and were so frightened that they cried. Also, many people who went to burn incense to the City God Bodhisattva saw that it was cloudy and misty inside, and some also saw big ghosts and small ghosts, shuttling and coming and going in the temple. ”

"Is this true?" said the purple-faced man.

"It was in the morning, which frightened many pilgrims, lit high incense, and did not dare to kowtow, and fled in a panic. ”

"Our City God Temple has not been prosperous for many years, could it be that ・・・・・・ City God is about to manifest itself?"

"I don't know, our city god, hmph, it's rare to appear in a hundred years, and he never cares about the life or death of the people. ”

"Don't say that, Lord Chenghuang's subordinates heard it and wanted to punish him. ”

Hearing this, Piao Ranzi shook his head and snorted in his nose.

"Where is this brother?" The red-faced man saw Piao Ranzi's disapproving expression, so he took him as a confidant, came over with a wine glass, and asked.

"The people of Mizujo. Piao Ranzi replied out of politeness.

"Oh, Watertown is on the other side. The red-faced man said. "Brother's surname?"

"Don't be expensive, the surname is Chu. ”

"Long admiration, long admiration" The red-faced man hurriedly raised his glass: "I salute my brother with a cup." ”

"Do you know people, just say what you look up to for a long time. Purple Face also held a wine glass and sat next to Piaoranzi.

"Of course. The red-faced man said cross-necked. "The Feixian Bridge between Huizhou and Shuicheng was built by the surname Chu at a great cost. I heard that his surname is Chu, and he said that he has been looking up for a long time, why is it wrong?"

"You don't remind me, I really forgot, come, I also toast Brother Chu. The purple-faced drinker raised his glass in salute.

"Thank you. Piaoranzi took another drink.

"We don't care about anything, anyway, since I was born, I haven't heard of him doing any good deeds. Those foolish men and foolish women still burned incense for him every day. The red-faced man drank his wine and looked angry.

"How are you Water City City God?" asked the purple-faced man.

"I don't know. ”

"Yes, yes, you can't belittle the gods. The purple-faced man nodded.

"Hmph, I don't believe it, this city god doesn't bless the people, and we are not allowed to talk about it?" The red-faced man had another cup of belly, and his face was even more red and his neck was thick. "Brother Chu, do you think that's the truth?"

"That's the truth. Piao Ranzi nodded. "For one term of office, for the benefit of one party. I heard that if the city god does nothing and bends the law for bribes, he can let the people tear down the idols, burn the seals, and go to the underworld to complain, right?"

"That's right," the red-faced man said. But the people of Huizhou are timid and afraid, and no one dares to accuse Chenghuang of his mistakes. Over the years, there has been either drought or flooding, and everything has happened, and the city god only knows how to receive incense. ”

"Then why don't you go and ask the City God?"

"I don't dare・・・・・・ I don't dare. The red-faced man said.

"He, just borrowed wine to spread the wind, and relied on drinking some wine to strengthen his courage, and when he really arrived at the City God Temple, he wasn't scared to the bottom of his fart?" the purple-faced man teased.

"You talk about me, but what about you? I don't even dare to say cruel things. "The red-faced man blushed again, and raced over the red cloth.

"Hehe, a city god, what's the big deal?" Piao Ranzi sneered. "You should have asked him how this city god came to be. ”

"Brother Chu, don't stand and talk without backache. The red-faced man said. "Do you have the ability to dare to go to the City God Temple and ask the City God Master for questioning?"

"Of course you dare," Piaoranzi drank wine and shook his body, "Chenghuang dares not to take care of the people, let him go to the underworld to be tried." The people of Huizhou can question him. ”

"If you dare to go, I'll invite you for this meal," the red-faced man said.

"Let's go" Piao Ranzi drank for a long time, was upset, and opened his mouth to say: "When I finish drinking, I'll take you there." ”

"Come on, come on, and drink," the red-faced man hurriedly poured him a drink. lest he drink less.

"Yes, yes, Brother Chu, you must drink well. The purple-faced man also poured wine for Piao Ranzi. lest he not go.

Wine into the sorrow, the intestines are even more sorrowful. Piaoranzi left a cup and a right cup, and after a while, he was drunk and hazy, looked at the red-faced man and the purple-faced man, and said: "Two, please lead the way, I want to replace the people of Huizhou, go to the City God Temple, and ask the City God for an explanation."

"Okay, let's take you there. The two of them got up and pulled Piaoranzi.

"I don't need your help, I'm not drunk" Piaoranzi pushed the arms of the two and staggered forward. He said that he was not drunk, but when he walked, it was difficult to control it, and others looked drunk.

"Brother Chu, this way, this way" The red-faced man led the way, and the purple-faced man accompanied Piaoranzi on the side, lest he fall and break it, and he couldn't get up again, but he would die before he could get out of the school, and the hero would be full of tears.

The three of them walked all the way, attracting the people of Huizhou to watch the excitement. The red-faced man shouted as he walked: "Listen, Huizhou fathers and elders, this brother is going to the City God Temple and ask the City God, if you have anything to say, let him take it."

"Brother, I burn incense for Chenghuang every year, and I don't see my family's career, you can ask"

"Brother, my business has not improved, Yueyue will make offerings to Chenghuang, and you can also ask what's going on. ”

・・・・・・

Piao Ranzi walked all the way, listening to the people of Huizhou full of complaints, he drank and was heroic, and waved his hand: "Write it down, write it down, Chu must go and ask Chenghuang"

While speaking, the three of them came to a temple, and the red-faced man pointed to the door: "Brother Chu, this is the City God Temple, you can go in." ”

"Why don't you go in?" asked Piaoranzi, twisting her stiff neck back.

"I, I'm in a hurry" The purple-faced man pointed into the distance: "I have to go to the toilet, don't accompany me." "After saying that, he will run away.

"Brother Chu, I still have to go back to take care of business, I can't be delayed, I can't be accompanied," the red-faced man finished speaking, and he also trotted all the way.

"Hmph, you're all gone" Piaoranzi looked forward at the plaque at the temple gate, "Take me in, and I'll meet my colleagues in Huizhou"

Piao Ranzi staggered, entered the temple gate, walked inside, the courtyard was empty, entered the temple hall, looked up, there were only two lonely statues, a man and a woman, probably the city god and the city god grandmother.

"You are, the head of Huizhou's Yin Division?" Piao Ranzi stretched out his hand and pointed to the statue: "Please come out and answer, I have something to ask you"

The idol does not move. Piaoranzi felt that the world was spinning, and this wine was really drunk. Back then, in Murong Mansion, Wubao Palace, Jinyun Mountain, and Wanzhou City, I drank more than now, and I was not so drunk. Today, he was in a bad mood and was really drunk.

Piaoranzi leaned against the doorpost, closed his eyes and eased his mind. When he opened his eyes again, a group of ghosts stood in the temple and outside the temple, holding knives and guns, with green faces and fangs, looking at him.

"Hehe, people often say that drinking alcohol hurts the liver and hurts the eyes, it's true. Piao Ranzi smiled. "I just squinted for a while, and I hallucinated. ”

Piaoranzi stretched out his hand and touched the little ghost in front of him, "This little ghost, is it so cute, does it have a head like a mouse?" ”

The little ghost hurriedly dodged, and his body almost flew into the air. Looking ahead, there were two more chairs in front of the idol I had just seen, and there were two monsters sitting on them, a bull-headed human body holding a steel fork in his hand, and a horse-faced human body poking a long saw
