Chapter 495: But the cause and effect of the year
"Don't dare, don't dare ......"
"I won't say much politely. Actually, I'm going to go to the city god in a few days. Song You said, "One is to retrieve the two paintings that were temporarily stored in Lord Chenghuang, and I am afraid that I will not come back if I leave Changjing this time, and I don't need to bother Lord Chenghuang in the future." β
"Sir, it's a little god......"
"The second is that I want to find Lord Chenghuang and have some serious matters to discuss."
"Business?"
When the old city god heard this, he was stunned.
Then his eyes shone brightly, and he thought quickly, but as soon as he got up, he put all his thoughts away, only stood up, and gave him a solemn face:
"The little god can have today, one is the creation that Mr. gave back then, and the other is the incense of the people, which the people want. Mr. Yu Qing has a great kindness to me, since he should serve Mr. Dogs and horses, Yu Li, Mr. has been standing on the side of the mortal world and the people, and has always done his best for the mortal world, which is where the incense of the little god comes from now. β
"Lord Chenghuang is really not what it used to be."
"Mr. False Praise ......"
"It's far from being a good job. It's just that if there are changes in the future, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the future, and the troubled times are the most likely to give birth to demons and evil spirits, and harm the world. β
"I will do my best! Never give up! β
The old city god was still standing and saluted him.
The two auxiliary officers behind him also tasted the sweetness of being respected and loved as gods, and when they saw this, they immediately followed suit:
"I will do my best! Never give up! β
"Don't be nervous, let's sit down and talk first." Song You smiled and said to them, "It's not that you want to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, fight with the Heavenly Palace and the imperial court, but it is indeed a little troublesome, and it will take you some effort and time, but correspondingly, it will also be of great benefit to you." β
When Lord Chenghuang and the two auxiliary officers heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief, but they became even more curious.
"I don't know ......"
"Nowadays, demons and evil are everywhere, or disturbing or harming people's livelihood, we have seen a lot along the way this year, and in addition to a lot, but it is only a drop in the bucket." Song You said, "I heard that Changjing is under the governance of Lord Chenghuang, and there are not many evil things. β
"Thanks to a few military attachΓ©s, patrolling night and night, we have also caught a lot of demons and evils, strange and strange, everything, and a lot of knowledge."
Lord Chenghuang said, looking at Song You:
"Mr. means ......"
"When it comes to keeping a city peaceful and free from evil spirits, there is nothing more suitable than the gods of the earth. Among the earth gods, the Chenghuang official office is the most formal. However, less than 30% of the 1,800 counties in Dayan have earth gods, most of which are land, road gods, river gods, mountain gods and other earth gods. β
Song You paused for a moment, and then said bluntly:
"Before the arrival of the troubled times, I want to set up City God Temples and City God Offices all over Dayan, just like the county government, and connect with the current ghost city of Fengzhou and the future underworld. If it is completed, the Changjing City God's Office will be the general director of the 1,800 City God Temples in the world, and the City God is not only the Changjing City God, but also the first City God in the world. β
ββ¦β¦β
When Cheng Huang and the two auxiliary officers heard this, they were shocked.
That's a big deal.
There are city gods all over the world?
Still connected to a ghost town?
Sounds like a great start.
It's really troublesome and laborious, and it really contains great benefits.
Don't say that Changjing City God, at that time, it will be them, the auxiliary officials under the command of Changjing City God, and their status will naturally rise-I thought that I and others had received the guidance and help of this gentleman, and began to gain the sincere love and worship of the people of Changjing, the incense is not what it used to be, the divine position is stable, and the divine power is refined, it is already too good to be better, it is better than I have ever thought before, but who would have thought that this person would throw out a more amazing opportunity between three words and two sentences.
When the heavens and the earth change, it is really necessary to ride the good wind.
"This matter is troublesome, needs to be discussed in detail, and it also requires a lot of time and effort from several people. It's too late tonight, so let's visit the temple another day and talk to Lord Chenghuang in detail. β
"Then we're waiting for you!"
"But there is another small matter, I want to ask Lord Chenghuang."
"Oh?"
"It's the former Taiwei Mansion, the Lang Jun and the housekeeper on the Chang Taiwei Mansion, Lord Chenghuang can know."
"Oh......"
Chenghuang only thought about it for a moment, then nodded quickly, and immediately understood what he was going to ask, and said, "Naturally, I know." β
"This matter has spread widely, and it is still talked about by the people of Changjing today, if there are gentlemen and even people in the market who are playing tricks, the people will scold him for being punished by the gods, deaf and dumb." An auxiliary officer behind Chenghuang also bowed his head and whispered, "We naturally remember it." β
"I don't know what happened to Langjun and the housekeeper?"
"After the death of the Taiwei, Changfu declined, but he still remained in Changjing. After all, the Chang family is one of the five, with a profound heritage, but it can still be called rich and noble. β
Thinking that the political affairs over there in Dongcheng should be mostly in charge of this auxiliary officer, he also replied at this time:
"But since that incident, over the years, the gentleman and the steward have been keeping to themselves, doing good deeds, and often giving alms. This year, King Shun led his troops into Beijing and promised the soldiers three days, although it was agreed that they would not hurt people's lives or insult women, but this group of warriors was tyrannical and accustomed, and once their brains were hot, they were not necessarily so easy to restrain them. This Lang Jun also ordered that the gate of the mansion be opened to house the poor people and their belongings in the vicinity. β
"I see."
"Sir has a relationship with them?"
"Yes."
"Then they may have been waiting for sir."
"It doesn't hurt."
Song You waved his hand, his expression calm: "Since the world will change and the troubled times are coming, it is not easy to do good, but there is no need to be demanding." Good deeds are only good deeds, and they do not care about the heart. β
"Reasonable."
"How many of you still have important business?"
Song You looked at Cheng Huang and the two auxiliary officers.
This time, the assistant officer did not speak, and only Lord Chenghuang replied: "Oh, I have just come to see Mr. and ask if I want to send the two paintings back, there is nothing else to do." β
"Then it's not far away."
"Farewell."
Chenghuang and the two priests left one after another.
There was a breeze in the street, and they were gone.
The little girl held the door with both hands, leaned over, looked left and right for a long time, and then retracted and closed the door.
Song You went upstairs again, only a voice came:
"Go to bed early, go out for a walk tomorrow morning, but we have a relationship from many years ago."
"Yuanyuan!"
The little girl turned back into a cat and followed him.
The Taoist fell asleep.
The cat was full of energy, and she was happy to return to the familiar house where she had been in the world for the longest time, and she felt comfortable and happy, and ran upstairs and downstairs several times, jumping up and down, and then ran to the windowsill to tell the swallow outside the window about the affairs of the Taiwei's mansion, and did not know when she slept. Anyway, when Song You fell asleep, she only talked about half of it.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning.
Song You got up early, finished washing, and opened the door to take a look.
The door next door opened at the same time.
Both the Taoist and the cat couldn't help but turn their heads to look.
But what came out of it was no longer the familiar old man, but a young man, dressed like a musician, and a woman in the house, standing at the door to see him off.
ββ¦β¦β
Song You retracted his gaze and lowered his head.
The three-flowered cat at his feet also raised his head.
A person and a cat glanced at each other, and then reflexively closed the door.
I just drank porridge last night, and I won't drink it today, Song You first went to the mutton soup cake shop on the street, ate a bowl of mutton soup cake, added two portions of meat, and used to feed Sanhua Niangniang and Yanzi, and then slowly walked to Dongcheng, wandering all the way, looking at Changjing in the early morning, comparing the difference with the past.
Occasionally, when you see something you want to buy, buy a little too.
By the way, talk to the shopkeeper, and then ask how many good things the former Taiwei Mansion Langjun in the east city has done, which is also strange.
Walking to the Taiwei Mansion according to memory, it was already noon.
Song You stood at the door and looked up.
The Taiwei Mansion that used to be a city is now sparse, and the two white marble stone lions at the door are wiped clean, and there are no fallen leaves at the door, but it is even colder. The original signboard of Taiwei Changfu has been replaced with the word Changfu, telling the rise and fall of Changfu.
However, even if it was the former Taiwei Changfu, it was actually only a branch of the Chang family, one of the five families with three surnames.
"Tuk Tuk ......"
Song You stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Soon there was footsteps inside the door.
"Bang Bang ......"
The heavy vermilion gate was opened.
There were still three people who opened the door inside, and a young servant stared at them first, followed by two other servants, to make a strong noise.
"Who is the gentleman looking for?" The young servant was polite, and his tone was gentle, and he looked Song You up and down as he spoke, and saw his old Taoist robe, "But life is embarrassing, and you came to ask for donations?" β
"Under the surname Song Mingyou, it's polite." Song You smiled and said to him, "Please go in and report it, just say that a Taoist and a three-flowered cat are visiting." β
"Sir is not here to ask for donations? But you have to say who to find first. β
"Looking for Lang Jun in the house, there is also a housekeeper surnamed Liu. I don't know if he's still a housekeeper. β
"The housekeeper in the house is indeed surnamed Liu, but the Lang Jun that Mr. said ......" The young servant said for a moment, looking at him suspiciously, "My master is still young and has no heirs, where did Lang Jun come from?" β
"Oh, it's Lang Jun in the Taiwei Mansion six or seven years ago, and now he is the head of the family."
ββ¦β¦β
When the young servant heard him say this, he felt that it was not like a lie, but it was really an old acquaintance between the master and the butler, so he only said a little wait, and then hurriedly ran back.
Only two of them were left standing inside the door, looking at the door as well as at the Taoist and the cat, looking at them from time to time and looking at the cat.
There were older family members walking by inside the door, and there were also doormen who had not left Changfu so far who were curious to see, and when they saw the Taoist and the three-flowered cat outside the door, they were all stunned in place.
