"The ...... of the Palace"

"At present, there is only one ghost emperor in the ghost city, and he was invited from below, and it is King Yue Shenjun of Yizhou. King Yue Shenjun has a straightforward temperament, but he is lazy by nature, and the ghost emperor does not pay attention to real things and does not hold real power. In addition, there is also an agent of the West Heaven Buddha Gate, who transforms evil ghosts in the ghost city, and is a very virtuous monk. In order to prevent accidents, I also invited a big demon to sit here temporarily. But these two have neither rank nor power. Song You explained to him, "At present, all the affairs of the ghost city are divided into three halls, and the first hall is the largest among the three halls. The king of the palace is the lord of the temple. ”

"I see."

In this way, Dianjun can be regarded as the supreme ruler of the ghost city.

From the city god who was confined to Changjing, to the leader of the city god in the world, from the god of the earth in a mere place, to the existence of the earth god second only to the palace king, it is undoubtedly a great opportunity.

"I don't know if the palace is ......"

"He Xianweng, He Xiang."

"What a picture!"

The old city god was suddenly in awe.

This year is still an era of divine achievement, many gods are counted down, are not far from the present, the old city god is the emperor of the upper emperor, of course, the court has not yet determined the whereabouts of the emperor, the prince has not yet ascended the throne in Changjing for the time being, otherwise it is the emperor of the previous emperor. There is a lot of intersection between the era in which he lived and the era of He Xiang.

Of course, in his time, whether it was status or power and reputation, he was far from being able to compare with him.

He Xiang is the prime minister of the dynasty, holding great power, and he will also be a famous minister through the ages, destined to last for a hundred years.

And he is just a national abbot, and his daughter was born well.

Subordinate to the ghost city Yin Division, only half a level lower than the palace monarch of the first hall, it is undoubtedly a huge promotion for his priesthood. The top boss is what he was back then, and he can't be called aggrieved at all.

Naturally, there are 10,000 willingnesses in my heart.

The next step is to discuss the details.

"It's just that there are 1,800 counties in Dayan, and there are city gods all over the city, so it is natural to choose people with virtue and merit. It is not a simple matter for Chenghuang to have a civil and military force under his command. Old Chenghuang frowned and said.

"It's really troublesome, and it can't be done overnight." Song You nodded and said, "However, the tree of hugging is born in the end of the millimeter, the nine-story platform, starting from the soil, and the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Although there are 1,800 counties in the world, there are only dozens of states, and each state has only a few counties, and each county has only a few counties. ”

"That's ......"

Chenghuang nodded, pondered, and said, "But there are so many people with virtue and merit, and they are scattered all over the place, so it is not easy to find. ”

Then he looked left and right at the two auxiliary officers:

"It's okay for a civil official, as long as he has virtue and ability, even if he doesn't have many new ghosts. The military attache has to deal with the evil demons and demons in the city, and the affairs of investigation, expulsion, arrest, pursuit and fighting, several military attaches under the command of the little god have superb skills during their lifetimes, although they were named the gods of the earth after their deaths, but they also absorbed incense in the city for many years, and only then did they gradually have the ability to fight with evil demons and demons. Such a martial artist must also have virtue and merit, I am afraid it will be difficult to find in a short time, and even if I find it, I am afraid it will not be useful in a few years. ”

"There is no need for Chenghuang to worry about this. Before we came to Changjing, we had already gone to the ghost town of Fengzhou, and asked He Dianjun to select people with noble character and meritorious service in various states and counties, and when we selected them, we invited them to report to the God's Temple in Changjing City. Song You paused, "As for the military attaché, it is indeed difficult to find, but when we traveled the world, we met a special turtle city in Yanzhou in the north, the yin ghosts in the city are all soldiers who died defending the country in the frontier, they are all martial artists, and they are infected by the bloody gas, and the turtle city is a rare place with a strong yin qi, a holy place for raising ghosts, for many years, most of the soldiers and captains in the city have a way that can only be compared with old ghosts. When passing by, they pointed out a road to the gods of the earth, and then they often patrolled at night in Yanzhou, killing demons and ghosts, and keeping the local peace, and there were really people in the local area who offered them offerings and served them as gods of the earth, and it was several years ago. ”

"Hiss......"

The old city god couldn't help but take a breath of cool air, and was surprised to realize that this person had been preparing for it since several years ago.

These ghost soldiers and ghosts will have skills, merits, and have done the matter of inspecting the evil gods in advance, familiar with this way, can there be a more suitable candidate than them?

In fact, it was not only him, but Song You himself, and when he said this, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

I heard that after Yuan'an City was occupied by ghost soldiers and ghost generals, it was the national teacher who ordered the turtle city to be abandoned and given to these ghosts to live and practice, I don't know what the national teacher had in mind at that time - was it that he originally raised this group of ghost soldiers and ghost generals for other purposes, or was it originally prepared for this time?

"I wonder how many of these generals there are?"

"There were more than 1,200 originally, and then the decisive battle in the north, bleeding and drifting, increased to 1,005, and after asking Yan'er to send a message to the past, about 1,003 went to the ghost town to report."

"One thousand three, more than enough." The old city god nodded again and again and said, "There are 1,800 cities in the world, and the official offices of the city god temples are gradually set up, these heroic souls are enough for a long time, and there are chivalrous people in the world. ”

It could be seen that this Chenghuang was very satisfied.

"It's been a while since we left the ghost town of Toyosu, and it may not be long before ghosts will report here under the escort of the heroic soul." Song You said to him, "At that time, please ask Chenghuang to praise them again, judge good and evil, review merits and demerits, and divide them into different places according to their character and merits, ability, and ancestral hometown." ”

"The minor gods will also inform the Ministry of Rites of the Imperial Court and ask them to build a city god temple in the local area, and register the city god and the list of priests."

The old city god said this confidently.

It seems that the Ministry of Rites will not disagree.

Compared with the Changjing City God who had to look at the face of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites a few years ago, it was really too different.

"When the prime minister of the dynasty is also an old man, I will also explain to him that Chen Qing has interests and disadvantages, so that the court can cooperate as much as possible." Song You said, "Let's each do our part. ”

"Sir has done most of his best."

"More than half of the efforts to be made have been made here, and most of them have been troubles for Chenghuang since then." Song You paused for a moment, "Our return to Beijing this time should be the last time, and after that, whether we travel the world or return to Fengzhou to condense the underworld, we will never go through Changjing again." But there is something else to do this time, and we will not leave until next spring and summer, during which time the city god will come to us if there is anything to discuss or to help with. You can also dream and kiss. ”

"The little god understands."

"Our Paintings and Travelogues......"

"I almost forgot! Wait! ”

The old city god patted his head and went to get it himself.

After a while, he came out again, with a square package wrapped in oiled paper in his arms, and two paintings on it.

"Sir, please check."

Chenghuang placed it on the table next to him.

Song You didn't check the oil paper package, but just opened two scrolls and looked at them, one of them was backed by the continuous mountains, the reeds were carpeted, and the wind was blown in the same direction, on the small road in the painting, it was the Taoist and the three-flowered cat jujube red horse figure merged, and the other Changshan apricot blossom bloomed, but only one corner of the painting was taken, the Taoist and the cat sat side by side on the corridor, the cat was crooked, faintly leaning on the Taoist.

Song You opened it to see, and the three-flowered cat also looked at it.

It's just that her angle doesn't look convenient.

"It's right to put it here in the city god, it hasn't faded at all, if it is brought in the rivers and lakes, I'm afraid it has been dyed with traces of time." Song You shook his head and sighed, then closed the painting and put it away, and respectfully thanked Chenghuang, "Thank you, Chenghuang." ”

"Thank you, Chenghuang!"

"It should be, it should be, just keep the picture scroll intact."

"I will say goodbye first, Chenghuang has official business, so he doesn't have to go far."

"Sir, walk slowly." The old city god and the two auxiliary officials saluted one after another, "Sanhua Niangniang also walks slowly." ”

"Meow ......"

A man and a cat walked to their original positions.

There were still five minor priests in front of them, only one had heard the appropriate prayer and was writing records, the rest were in a daze, one was speechless, and two looked at them curiously.

The three-flowered cat couldn't help but look at them.

There were suddenly ripples in front of me.

When the cat reacted, he and the Taoist priest were still standing in the main hall of the City God Temple, and the five little priests in front of them gradually disappeared and turned back to the original shrine, with the Changjing City God in the middle, and the two auxiliary officers and two military attachés who often accompanied him were beside him. The five futons are still kneeling and sitting, offering incense sincerely, and praying silently, but compared to before, the number of people has changed.

In the hands of the Taoist, there is an extra package and two scrolls.

There were people walking in, and people were coming out after incense, and when they walked past them, they all cast strange glances at them.

It seems that I don't know why this person came to the City God Temple to bring a cat, and it seems that I don't know why they have been standing here for so long, or if they dislike them and get in the way.

"Let's go."

The Taoist said softly, holding his things and leaving.

The cat looked back frequently, curious, and itched like a cat scratching in her heart, but there was no way, the Taoist priest had already left, and no matter how puzzled she was, she had to follow.

Walking and walking, he jumped up and hugged the Taoist's feet, trying to hold him to the ground.

The damage is almost zero.

"Sanhua Niangniang doesn't have to be too envious, Sanhua Niangniang's Shinto career was just starting, and it collapsed in the middle way, if Sanhua Niangniang continues, it will also have a bright future. This kind of skill can naturally be comprehended by the gods, and the priests under them will always have it. Song You said as he walked, "Although the Shinto cause is gone, there is a freer and broader world, and the future is also immeasurable." ”

"Meow ......"

Walking out of the mountain gate of the City God Temple, Song You couldn't help but stop, with the help of the height of the City God Temple, overlooking the Changjing City.

It's a spectacular city.
