Chapter Ninety-Four: One More Bitterness (Subscription Requested)
Valley County.
Although the moon in the sky was shining with pure moonlight as always, the dim night in the city had not changed, and even the moonlight was dimmer today than on the same day last month.
Even on several major streets, it is difficult for pedestrians walking at night to see the road ahead without torches.
But even in such a dim night, in addition to the helpless husband at work, there are also people who can't sleep all night... Until the third watch, listening to the sound of the careful candles outside, the faint sound suddenly came from the quiet room.
A moment later, a not-so-tall figure stepped out of the room, the dim moonlight shining on his almost waxed forehead, and the faint reflection exposed the upper half of the figure's face—it was the temple of the City God.
He moved cautiously, begging not to make a sound.
It wasn't until the door closed that there was no big noise, and Miao Zhu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
glanced around, and saw that the rooms of several Taoist masters were as silent as ever, and the worries in his heart were even more than half.
The rest had to wait for him to escape from the City God Temple.
Even until he escaped from Gucheng and settled down in Fucheng, he could not be completely relieved.
But when he thought that he would have to leave his hometown in the future, and even left Miaozhu's position with plenty of oil and water, and he couldn't spend money lavishly in the future, Miaozhu felt that his heart was aching.
But if he continued to stay in the City God Temple, he was afraid that he would not wait to be killed, but he scared himself crazy.
In fact, he is also to blame for this matter, the old man often says that the ignorant are fearless, and it is good to continue to pretend to be a fool and not know anything.
That night, he obediently left after sending paint to a little Taoist master, and he continued to be his temple blessing, and he could keep dozens of hundreds of taels of silver every month.
But at that time, I didn't know what was crazy, and I had clearly gone back to the room, but I had to go back and take a look curiously.
As a result, I saw the three Taoist priests in the temple gouge open the belly of the cracked idol and replace the dirt inside—the scriptures and gems that were originally used to hold dirt were either turned into a puddle of shredded paper, or split in half and became dull.
And now, the three Taoist priests took out the original broken pretending to be dirty and replaced them with oval, black things.
Under the candlelight, he also vaguely saw that the newly dressed dirty clothes held in the arms of the Taoist priests were lying together, as if they could breathe.
At this time, Miao Zhu couldn't help but lean forward again,
As a result, it seemed that the movement was a little louder and was discovered, and the Taoist priest in the main hall suddenly turned his head and stared out of the window with a vicious expression, while the other two Taoist priests hurriedly put the dirty pretending in their arms on the offering table, holding a charm, and the sword approached step by step outside the door.
At this time, there was a candle flame on the offering table, and he also saw what the so-called pretending to be dirty was.
With scriptures, jade, ritual utensils in the normal sense... Different, the one on the table seems to be an embryo?
In the thin and transparent embryo, there was a baby with a blue face and a ghost-like shape, and when he stared at the embryo on the offering table and couldn't take his eyes off, the guy inside suddenly opened his eyes, and while looking at him, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned...
Afterwards, although the three Dao masters always comforted themselves and told him that he was just dazzled and wrong that day, he believed what he saw with his own eyes more than others said. ….
The three Taoist priests kept persuading, but it made Miao Zhu more and more suspicious.
Of course, even if he had doubts, he just decided to stay away from this place as much as possible, instead of learning what gods to see in the story and what truth to find.
They can live, it is purely the author of the book who changed the ending.
Otherwise, do you really think that the demons and monsters are open to goodness?
Therefore, after learning the hard way, Miao Zhu decided to slip away!
Not only do you have to stay away from this city god temple that seems to be nurturing demons, but Gu County can't stay either, at least you have to go to Fucheng to live.
"Senior brother, it seems that your and my kindness have been wasted, this guy really still wants to run."
When the temple disappeared into the backyard, a dark shadow flashed behind the window of another room
Immediately after the death of the candle in the room, the candle flame was lit, and sitting at the table in the room were the three Taoist priests in the temple.
The older one didn't care, and still closed his eyes tightly, trying to swallow the spiritual wit.
The other Taoist priest sitting at the table made himself a cup of tea unhurriedly, sipped the tea that was already cold in his mouth, and said softly: "Life and death are fate, since he feels that the temple is all sneaky, and if he can't stay, then change places."
As long as you don't talk nonsense when you go out, it's nothing, if you publicize it everywhere, there will naturally be people from the government to deal with it, and it has nothing to do with you and me, so it's good for you and me to practice with peace of mind."
His tone was light, but the junior brother couldn't suppress his anger: "Cultivation? How can you still practice, can the spiritual machine between heaven and earth still allow people to become immortals? It's all—"
"Brother!"
The teacup in his hand slammed on the table, interrupting the little Taoist's words before he could speak: "I know you're in a hurry, but think about it before you speak, what can you change? What can you do?
If it's worthless, you'd better keep your mouth shut!
Zhengyi, all true... The elders of all families are busy with the matter of spiritual wit and the extinction of the gods, don't bring great trouble to the entire Dao Gate because of your words."
Looking at the pale face, the senior brother shook his head.
Everyone has complaints about the Qing court, in order to suppress the Han people, let the group of lamas secretly dig up the dragon vein, and then dig up the heavenly pillar, and now the demon cholera is in a hurry to transfer this hot potato, how can you take advantage of all the good things?
In the past, Da Yuan didn't do the work of cutting the dragon vein, but you did all the bad things without saying a word.
Therefore, the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, which were originally fighting each other and fighting each other, suddenly cooperated, and would rather face repeated harsh criticism than cooperate with the Qing court.
Isn't everyone really in a hurry?
Can't cultivate immortals and become Buddhas, they are more anxious to die than the Qing court, and the sect hates to have to care about this bullshit zodiac auspicious day, burning incense every day, they are willing to try any way, but cooperation can't work.
Not only the factors of barbarians and dragon veins, but the more irreconcilable contradiction between the two sides is that the imperial court has always wanted to merge their family immortals into the Kyushu god system.
It took thousands of years for Buddhism and Taoism to become what they are now, and the fruit is ripe, and you want to share it in the Qing Dynasty, is it possible?
Of course, some people stick to the bottom line, and some people are morally fluctuating, which cannot be avoided.
I can only try not to get caught in any mistakes. ….
Just like the City God Temple today, don't they know that there is a problem with the dirty hair, but so what?
Not pretending,
Well, when the statues in the City God Temple and the Buddhist Temple are gradually cracked, without the protection of the gods, all the demons and monsters will turn their heads to stare at the county seat, and then they will wait for the demons to cause trouble.
Feign?
It's just drinking to quench your thirst, after the statue is repaired, although it has resumed its function, but the demon fetus inside is also absorbing incense, growing with evil energy, and even absorbing the so-called dirt, and when the monster breaks out of the shell, it is not incense that eats, but blood food in this valley city...
Unless they are willing to make those immortals gods, please come into the temple.
After all, demons are not affected by this catastrophe, but who will bear the luck consumed by the gods.
Monk Taoist?
Or the dawn people of this world?
Don't look at the method proposed by the imperial court, but don't even think about it if they want to stand up.
"Ahh
With a light sigh, the Taoist priest looked out the window, stunned......
Following
With the arrival of a new day, a wave of worship of the land god is spreading from the foot of Taihang Mountain, to the surrounding towns, just ready to go out of the city of the temple Zhu in the breakfast stall while eating breakfast, while listening to a few diners there boasting about the miracle of the land god, after a little hesitation, he couldn't help but come forward to talk.
After all, he has been immersed in this industry for so many years, and he has no skills, and if he really wants to go to Fucheng, he is afraid that he will sit and eat empty.
Now there's one
The god of the land is as effective as they boast.
It's better for him to continue to do his old job and be a temple blessing!
Of course, it must not be in Gucheng, at least you have to go to Fucheng, and the land is too cheap, and if you really build a temple, incense is also very competitive with other temples, where did he make a fortune without vigorous incense!
It's impossible to do charity, right?
He doesn't make loss-making deals, and instead of throwing the money into it, it's better to change his face... In this way, the land lord has incense to earn, and he has incense money, a win-win situation!
How wonderful this is!
Almost without much hesitation, Miaozhu hurriedly rented a carriage, took his possessions and headed to the village of Xiashan in the story.
But not to mention the potholed roads, the speed of the carriage was slow, and the bumps almost killed him, that is, the village of Xiashan was not far from Gucheng, and he stopped and stopped until the evening of the next day to reach the outside of the village.
After explaining his intention to the village chief, he was taken to the front of the land temple in the village, and looked at the pilgrims waiting for incense offerings in front of the small, dilapidated land temple, and he was stunned.
It's evening, and there are still dozens of people waiting for the incense in the evening, and how strong is the incense during the day?
Although most of these people are villagers from nearby villages, and everyone only pays incense instead of incense money, is this the key?
Where can the temple afford the villagers' incense money, that is, the small temple in the countryside will cost a little incense and candles, and the large temple will not charge a penny for the poor when they enter the door, and the incense will not be charged to the poor, because only if they have enough, the old men in the temple can eat happily and be effective.
The old man is effective, and that will naturally attract the rich, and those are the goals of the temple and the monks......
"Contemptible Xun Liangji, I want to build a temple for the land god in Fucheng to worship, and I bother the village chief to help me ask for a statue of the right size, as long as it works, everything else is not a problem!" ….
The village chief blinked, he didn't expect that there would be such a good thing, it just so happened that the expansion of the land temple had reached a limit, and most of the surrounding villages and towns had changed course, and as for the county seat, it was rejected by the officials.
There is a city god temple in who would consider a village land, not to mention that it clearly wants the immortals to enter the temple, they are not in the queue, how can you allow a land to cut in.
The City God Temple can't enter, and they have to go through various procedures to build the temple by themselves, not to mention the expenses, and the expenses are not something that these small villages can afford, so the expansion of the land god has been delayed again and again.
Unexpectedly, good things came today.
The village chief took the deposit and took Xun Liangji to choose the idol with a smile.
And at this time in the land temple,
The land where he worked recorded this passage and sent it out through the book of orders.
......
On the periphery of the Taihang Mountain Range, with the help of the creatures in the mountains, Zhang Ke, who was eroding the mountains from the outside in, suddenly received news from his subordinates, and scattered a wisp of divine thoughts through the book of fate to Xiashan Village, and after finding Xun Liangji, he probably understood.
Squirrels.
But Zhang Ke also had to admit that this kind of rat was exactly what he needed.
If he had enough patience, it was indeed good to take root and slowly infiltrate the village route, but it was a pity that Zhang Ke did not have it for so long.
I don't know how long the previous mountain god lands have been rotten, as soon as Zhang Ke annexed their authority, he felt a wave of urging in his heart, urging him to exercise his authority and perform his duties.
Of course, the impact on him is not too big at the moment, but with the expansion of the territory, the premonition of grade improvement will definitely become more and more intense, until it finally annoys him.
But Zhang Ke can't give up, whether it's strength or exploring the dungeon, he needs to expand his territory, but then again, under the deliberate difficulties of the officials, the villagers can do very little.
So the appearance of this Xun Liangji is too timely for Zhang Ke!
On the side of Taihang Mountain, due to the different grades between the mountains, Zhang Ke could only selectively annex it.
Land authority is even more divided between villages and towns, one in the east and one in the west, the area is quite large, but unfortunately all are not coherent
up, causing Zhang Ke to upgrade slowly.
After reading the archive this time, half a month has passed in the copy, and the authority of the mountain god and the land is still stuck in the [Eight Grades], and the authority of the water god has not improved because there is no river.
And if Xun Liangji can get through the joints, then Zhang Ke can skip Guxian and go directly to Fucheng, the city god position in Fucheng is only seven grades, and it is still within the scope of Zhang Ke's processing, with the city god position as the boss Zhang Ke can integrate the authority of the earth god of the first mansion.
At that time, unlike villages and towns that are divided into scattered plots, Zhang Ke can directly reach over and usurp power when they are close to each other, and Zhang Ke's range of activities is as large as a prefecture, and it is no longer difficult for him to find water veins.
It is naturally much easier for the level to be upgraded to the [Sixth Grade] Raider Taihang Mountain, and the [Fifth Grade] Zhang Ke dares to step on the bottom line of the Taihang Mountain God to draw a big territory for himself.
So Xun Liangji's shortcomings are not a thing at all in Zhang Ke's eyes, if he likes money, give him money, as long as he can take himself out, he doesn't need to publicize it, your lord directly PK with the true god opposite, and only those who win the battle are eligible to enjoy the incense sacrifice!
That is, Zhang Ke can't accompany him, otherwise in order to ensure Xun Liangji's safety, Zhang Ke can directly take the wood carvings from Xiashan Village to Fucheng with him.
It's a pity that Zhang Ke can't do without, but in order to protect his safety, Zhang Ke also poured a lot of divine thoughts into the stone statue, and at the same time arranged for the old fox family to secretly follow him to Fucheng.
Stupid Bunny-kun
