When the first rays of the morning sun appeared on the horizon, as far as the eye could see, a huge castle could be seen prostrate like a giant beast.

On the carriage, Xun Liangji, who had been in high spirits all night, saw the outline of the city in the distance at this time, and collapsed at the feet of the statue with palpitations.

These more than ten days can be called the most terrifying experience of his life!

Especially on the last night,

After the land lord tore his face, those evil people simply didn't hide it.

In the night, where he could barely reach his fingers, in the woods on both sides of the road, shadowy figures could be seen everywhere on the mountain walls, and a pair of malicious eyes stared at him with a chill down his spine.

Especially from time to time, some "human" figures suddenly rushed out from both sides of the bushes and stopped in front of the carriage...

Fortunately, the great power shown by the land lord before them made them feel less nervous, and the speed of the carriage was not fast.

Whether it's running over or stopping, it's enough time for them to react.

Of course, they didn't dare to stop, who knew if the car would be able to move again after it stopped, so they ran over all the way, and they didn't know how many lonely ghosts and ghosts they crushed.

All the way, I came to the gate of Fucheng without danger-

It wasn't until the sky was completely bright that the closed city gate slowly opened, and the crowd waiting here in the morning slowly advanced under the inspection of the soldiers... Until Xun Liangji's carriage was stopped.

"But do you have any proof of this? Is there an official permit?"

The soldiers dragged the carriage aside, and after the order of the crowd entering the city was restored, he turned to look at Xun Liangji: "If you can't get a certificate, it's attributed to the Evil God * Temple, and this thing is buckled..."

"Master, don't you see the proof right here?" Xun Liangji smiled and took out a few taels of silver from his arms and slapped them in the hands of the soldiers:

"Be accommodating, this carriage is left outside the city, and I will go in and find a temple to anchor into, as for the official documents of the government office... I don't know if I can please thread the needle through it, and there will be a good reward!"

As the temple of the former Chenghuang Temple in Guxian County, he is very familiar with these processes.

Shrine of the Evil God*,

This thing is much more terrifying than the evil one, and most of the evil people are in the countryside.

It is rare in the city, and even if it occurs occasionally, it is often an exception, and there are traces to follow, which can be extinguished quickly.

But the god statue is usually not leaky, find a room to hide and worship secretly, no one can find out, but once something happens, it will be a piece of dead people, plus in the past two years, I heard that the remnants of the white lotus in the south have rekindled again.

Each city is even more strictly guarded against the statues of gods and Buddhas of unknown origin!

It can be strictly investigated,

It's not impossible to avoid it, not to mention that the court itself is not clean, and aren't the Baojia immortals who declare it also unlicensed and unlicensed?

So...

As long as it is not too conspicuous, a little bit of scattered silver fools the soldiers defending the city.

And like Xun Liangji, a stone statue that is almost three meters high, you have to go to the government and the temple to ask for official documents and certificates, and because he wants to build a temple in the government to make money, the process is more complicated.

In addition to the proof of the idols,

He also had to find a piece of land.

Of course, not only does it take a long time to rebuild a temple, but he also has to pay the temple a monthly affiliation fee and calculate other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes... It is not as cost-effective as buying a ready-made small temple. ….

It's just that he can think of things, others may not be unexpected.

escaped the temple's pig-killing knife, but was still bitten hard by the officials.

"Now, this Daxian Temple in the south of the city happens to be vacant, so I'll hand it over to you.

Chenghui, two thousand taels of silver!

Oh yes, the temple is yours and you can do whatever you want, but there is a little bit of the original immortals in the temple, don't throw it away, otherwise when the time comes, the banner man above will check it out, don't blame me for not reminding you of the money!

What are you doing in a daze, let's leave as soon as the matter is done..."

Out of the palace

At that time, Xun Liangji was stunned.

He didn't expect that he had spent a lot of money before and after, but he still received a thunderbolt.

What kind of place is Daxian Temple!

That nd is the place to worship those family fairies and monsters, except for those banner people, who will go to incense and pray for blessings.

But apparently those officials just want to get rid of trouble and make money, and they don't really help him think.

Primary

A bunch of newborns!

Although the psychological resentment is eternal, Xun Liangji has not forgotten that the land lord is still waiting for him outside the city gate.

What's more, this toss, the family wealth he has accumulated over the years is gone, and in addition to repairing the temple, he has to keep a part, in case he doesn't run it, he will have to live on it in the future!

......

After a toss,

The carriage drove into the south of the city before dusk and stopped outside the Daxian Temple.

If you ignore the damaged and unrepaired places, the temple itself is quite magnificent, judging from the style of internal carving and painting, the predecessor of this Daxian Temple should be the Chenghuang Temple of the previous dynasty.

According to this calculation, his thousands of taels of silver are not a loss, the only problem is that after he walked in, after turning around the various temples, he found that the plaques of many temples have been changed to the XX Great Immortal Palace, and the places where the statues of the gods should have been placed have also been replaced with tablets.

Because no one worshiped or cleaned for a long time, the dust in the temple was very serious.

The tributes have weathered and dried up,

The incense candles are even more full of water and rotten into a puddle.

There are more other bits and pieces of problems, but fortunately, Xun Liangji has been prepared before he comes, and he doesn't need to worry about cleaning the temple and buying incense and candles.

In the south of the city, there are some poor people who live, and they have to calculate every day to eat chaff and drink scarcely, even if they are very afraid of the temple of Daxian Temple, which is dedicated to monsters, there is an endless stream of people who want to come to the temple to do chores under the offensive of money.

In addition, in order to make these people more "at ease", he also deliberately asked these people to put incense sticks in front of the statue of the land lord beforehand, and persuaded him: "I know that everyone is very resistant to these immortals, after all, they are all monsters and moody, so this temple is sent by the government to solve this matter.

This temple wishes the good fortune and righteousness that have been invited from Mount Tai tirelessly, keep safe, and suppress all kinds of evil!

Come and pay your respects, put incense on the pillars, and make sure that you can easily take these five copper plates!"

Everyone is a little suspicious, most of them may be illiterate, but it doesn't mean that these people can be easily fooled, just don't do it, I'm worried that Xun Liangji will deduct wages afterwards, and since there can be proof from the government and the temple, it won't be more evil than these immortals, right? ….

After hesitating for a while, someone finally stepped forward to burn incense and worship.

Then the others also went to put on a few sticks of incense one after another and said a few words to keep the peace.

Originally, everyone was just going to take a formality, but they didn't expect that the burning curling green smoke gradually wrapped around the somewhat rough stone statue, and then a hazy earth-colored light was released from the statue.

Creates a faint halo around it.

Without waiting for everyone to be surprised, the next moment this dead and silent temple suddenly became lively, and all corners of the temple, inside and outside the courtyard, were constantly moving - all kinds of colorful snakes, insects, rats and ants came out of the corner like crazy and fled to the outside of the temple.

And along with the snakes, insects, rats and ants, there were some weasels taller than children, and the big rats came out of the other side halls, but before they could run out of the door, chains suddenly burst out of the ground in the courtyard, and put them on their limbs and heads.

dragged them out of everyone's eyes...

Xun Liangji stood under the statue, watching the colors on the faces of this group of people change back and forth, and he also had a silent smile on his face.

At this time, there is no need for him to pull people's heads, to invest gold and silver to invite people to cheer, and these people will spontaneously spread the name of the master after they go back.

Definitely lose money at first,

After all, there are some poor people in the south of the city, but who has the most people in a city,

Aren't they still these poor people?

With their word of mouth, Xun Liangji believed that his master's reputation would soon spread in the city, and when the time came, the incense money of the rich and noble families would roll in - the incense master would take it by himself, and he would keep the gold and silver for the time being.

There is absolutely no self-filling, at most there is a little bit of loss...

......

......

Xun Liangji was very happy, and Zhang Ke's mood was also good.

With the appearance of dozens of pillars of incense, Zhang Ke's consciousness also walked out of the Taihang Mountains for the first time and came to the crowded Fucheng...

didn't look at Zhang Ke a few times, and he was stabbed by the smooth brain doors.

Retracted his gaze, walked around the temple, and finally came to the backyard that no one had cleaned for the time being.

Seeing Zhang Ke's arrival.

A few weasels who were bound into zongzi by the earth's qi writhed unwillingly, and said sharply: "Where did you come from, the country god Mao, now let go of your grandfather and me, and I can give you a chance to be a lackey, and when our grandfather knows, I have to eat you!"

Zhang Ke: "So your grandfather doesn't know yet?"

Weasel: "......"

This... A novelty angle indeed.

Although their race has always been cautious, they will take revenge.

But the premise is that the other clansmen must know the situation here.

Now the other party didn't kill it, and the other doesn't seem to be able to go back to report it... Sloppy!

Looking at the weasel Zhang Ke who was dumb after screaming, his eyes rolled wildly and he didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't have time to work hard with these little minions, and some people helped him torture them.

And before that.

The foul-mouthed guy should go home and educate him again.

Zhang Ke casually hung these monsters with local gas and hung them in the earthen toilet in the backyard to let them receive edification.

At the same time, two burly figures with cow and horse heads appeared outside the gate of the Great Immortal Temple, knocking politely, explaining their intention to invite Zhang Ke to postscript - after thinking about it, Zhang Ke's divine thoughts were condensed and formed, and he followed them to the City God Temple. ….

The anchor point here is not very stable, and it will take a while for Zhang Ke's body to drill through, so delaying time is the best choice for him.

There is no imaginary axeman,

There is no Hongmen banquet, and there is only one judge in the entire City God Temple, except for the bull head and horse face just now.

And the judge also seems to be very problematic.

Holding a stomach, it's like being pregnant.

The point is that Zhang Ke observed for a while and found that his stomach did move on its own, and it felt as if there was something inside.

Noticing Zhang Ke's gaze, the judge smiled helplessly, and invited Zhang Ke to sit down while explaining the original reason to him.

To put it bluntly,

There are only three of them left in the current Fucheng God's Temple.

The gods of the underworld have already dissipated with the underworld, and the pressure to maintain the balance of yin and yang is all on the gods of the city gods in various prefectures and counties, and it didn't take long for the city gods to undergo treacherous changes, he seemed to have become a machine, and the gods continued to give birth to demon fetuses.

The demon fetus will absorb the filth between heaven and earth and grow by itself, and it will be born as a monster...

At the beginning, whether it was the Qing court, Buddhism, or even the remaining Yin gods in their City God Temple, they were all paying off, although they suffered heavy losses, but they were always effective, and we could see that the City God everywhere was getting thinner and thinner...

But later, I don't know who found out that the demon fetus can be hidden in the god statue instead of pretending to be dirty, which will make the demon fetus parasitize on the Yin God, but it can greatly delay their growth time.

Wait until the Yin God is dead, break the statue and kill the demon fetus, and then turn over the county Zhila and pull a few strong men to serve as the Yin God, and you can complete a round of cycles!

Then, unsurprisingly, the Qing court defected, and then Buddhism was silent.

I don't know anywhere else

, but most of the characters recorded in Fucheng were sacrificed, and the three judges, cattle and horses, were also the only remaining yin gods.

Holding his stomach straight, the judge stared at Zhang Ke directly: "I looked at your god statue, the specifications are obviously the land in the village, but after meeting it with my own eyes, your personality is not inferior to me, and it is not only the land on your body, but also the authority of the mountain god, usurping the authority?"

It's a lot of guts, but I have to say that the chances you pick are good.

Did you come to this city to simply expand the incense, or did you fall in love with another god?"

"Interested." Zhang Ke nodded calmly.

This situation is not worth being happy about, although there is no need to face the city god and his subordinates, but if he wants to grab the territory, Zhang Ke must first solve the brood-like city god.

The judge duly added, "There are also those monsters in the idols, although they will not wake up until the Yin God is sucked dry, but if you really want to deal with them, including the three of us, they may also join at any time.

If you want to save trouble, then after dawn, you can open the idol and destroy the demon fetus, the advantage is that you will only deal with one city god at that time, and the disadvantage is naturally that after the demon fetus and the god idol are broken, the authority will flow backwards to the city god..."

The judge gave Zhang Ke back the right to choose, and also showed him the way to see Chenghuang.

I can't find it directly, the city god usually hides in the depths of the underground to give birth to the demon fetus, I want to see him smash all the statues in the city god temple, without those demon fetuses he can't help but drill out.

"I don't want to ask you where you came from, anyway, no one in this world really has the ability to correct it sooner or later, now I just hope you can do it sooner, kill us and these demon fetuses, and save the death of all deaths, and be pulled out to suffer this kind of pain!"

Stupid Bunny-kun
