Gongsun Zhi's life is really difficult.

He came to these three mountain ranges, and wanted to go to the county government office where he lived in a small city, but found that the county government was in disrepair and could not live at all.

And there are no big families around to spend the night, so in order not to disturb the people, the group can only camp outside the city.

At the same time, they also felt the resistance of the residents of Sanshanling to them, and this contradiction was almost irreconcilable.

The young grandson said: "How is it good that the residents of this place live and work in peace and contentment without the jurisdiction of the government?" ”

At this time, a middle-aged scribe-looking person beside him said, "Zhi Gongzi, to be honest, we didn't expect this to be like this. ”

"According to the records of the palace in the early years, this was ordered by the former king himself to abolish the administration here, I thought that the people's livelihood here must have withered, but I didn't expect it to ......"

Gongsun Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect this place to become a paradise." ”

"My eldest brother really picked a good place for me."

This is a pun.

At first, I thought it was a wild place that needed to be developed with hard work.

Now it turns out that this is a paradise, but if it is forcibly taxed, I am afraid that it will lose the hearts of the people.

Gongsun Zhi can be said to be in a dilemma.

The middle-aged scribe said: "In fact, it is the benevolence of the prince that will have such a predicament, if you want the students, you only need to publicize my Dayan law and the official documents of the palace to the residents here, and then we will do things according to the rules." ”

"Of course, there will be a period of rebellion in this place, but after a long time, they will get used to it."

Gongsun Zhi waved his hand again and again: "It's not appropriate, it's so big wrong." ”

"It's my grandfather who gave up on them and made them outcasts, and it doesn't make sense that I can come and pay the taxes again with a word."

"So I think one thing is right in Mr. Wen's words, we really need to make our presence known to everyone first, and then try to manage the law and order here."

"When everyone sees our efforts, it will be much easier to raise taxes at that time."

Mr. Wen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then bowed and said, "Zhi Gongzi is merciful, but in this way, the food and clothing of these hundred guards will be subsidized by Gongzi himself." ”

Gongsun Zhi nodded and said, "Before I left home, my mother and father gave me some, which must be able to get you through this most difficult period of time." ”

At this time, the heron Daoist smiled quite implicitly.

Gongsun Zhi was young but very good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw it, he hurriedly said to Xiang Heron: "Master, what do you think of my handling like this?" ”

Mr. Nawen frowned and looked at the old Tao in front of him, in fact, he was very uninterested in the master of the son of Zhi who suddenly appeared.

He wanted to see what Lao Dao could say.

The heron Taoist stroked his beard and smiled lightly: "This method is quite good, but the effect is too slow, and it is too wasteful of your money." ”

"Actually, I see that the wind and rain here are smooth, and the surrounding three mountains are also quite spiritual, there must be a very good land god here."

"And when I was on a fugue, I also heard that the land temple here is quite effective, and most of the local residents are believers in the land god."

"So if we can go and see this land first, then we can do anything you want to do with half the effort."

Mr. Wen sneered: "Heron Immortal Master, do you mean to let Zhi Gongzi ask ghosts and gods instead of asking about folk customs?" ”

Heron said: "Yes, after all, this is a world full of ghosts and gods. ”

Mr. Wen wanted to say something, but Gongsun Zhi had already made a decision: "Mr. Wen doesn't need to say more, I am determined to go with Master to worship the land temple first." ”

Seeing the loss on Mr. Wen's face, he added: "It's just that this is not all about 'asking ghosts and gods', but also about hoping that through this matter, it can be recognized by the people here." ”

When Mr. Wen heard this, he bowed his head and said: "If this is the meaning of Zhi Gongzi, then it is right." ”

The Heron Daoist shook his head and laughed when he heard this, and then said: "Actually, there is no need to be too nervous, one side of the land is only the lowest ranked fifth-rank god in the Heavenly Court God System structure, and it will be replaced every five hundred years, and generally they will also give us immortal cultivators face." ”

Gongsun Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then there will be Master Lao." ”

With that, the group prepared some sacrificial offerings, and then headed for the Land Temple.

From afar, they saw that there were many pilgrims coming and going in the temple of this land, and even there was no shortage of offerings in the temple.

And seeing their large group of people coming, those pilgrims who came to offer incense naturally avoided from afar.

When they entered this land temple, they found that there was no idol in this temple!

There was nothing on the empty shrine, and there was no goal for everyone to want to sacrifice.

This kind of strange thing was also encountered by the Heron Daoist for the first time, he hurriedly stepped on his feet and said, "Poor Dao Heron Daoist, I implore this land to show up." ”

The Heron Daoist was full of self-confidence, and felt that it should be simple to invite the land with the cultivation of his Mahayana immortals.

But what he didn't expect was that there was no reaction in this land temple.

This embarrassed him.

Gongsun Zhi hurriedly made up for his master: "Maybe the land god is not at home. ”

The Heron Daoist shook his head and said, "No, since it is a land, then he must have known it when we came to this land. ”

Mr. Nawen couldn't help but sarcastically say, "I'm afraid this land is ashamed to meet Allah here, right?" ”

What he meant was that these three mountains were Gongsun Zhi's territory, and even if there was a real land god, he would have to listen to Gongsun Zhi's orders.

However, at this moment, in the back hall of the land temple, two boys like porcelain dolls suddenly walked out.

They said, "Your guests are coming, and the two lords invite your guests in for a while." ”

The Heron Daoist was surprised and said, "You are all the attendant boys of the land here? ”

The two boys nodded and said, "I have the mercy of the old man, and take the boy in to take care of this land temple for the two masters." ”

The Heron Daoist couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that this land is also extraordinary. ”

Gongsun Zhi asked curiously, "Master, what is this saying?" ”

The Heron Daoist said to the two boys: "Turning into a boy with a stubborn stone like this is generally a means that can only be used by those who have already become immortals. ”

Mr. Wen said strangely: "What kind of stubborn stone turns a child, isn't this just an ordinary child?" ”

The Heron Daoist shook his head helplessly and said, "How can a mortal with the naked eye know the true God?" ”

"If you still don't believe me, come with us to meet the master."

The two children immediately walked to the inner room.

And the Heron Daoist immediately followed, and he was also very curious about the land god of this place.

His disciple Gongsun Zhi did not hesitate and immediately followed.

However, Mr. Naven hesitated a little before walking over with four guards.

When they came to the inner room, they found that the two boys were working a little beside a curtain hanging on the wall, and then opened the bright yellow curtain for everyone.

And the moment the curtain was opened, they were stunned to see the scene of a small farm yard behind the curtain.

"When we came, didn't we see a farmhouse behind this land temple?" Mr. Wen said in amazement.

The Heron Daoist sighed: "Sure enough, there is no other cave, and even the poor Dao has not seen the clues in advance, this method is really good." ”

"Disciple, pay attention to be polite after seeing the god later, this land god is extraordinary."

Gongsun Zhi nodded again and again when he heard this, but he thought about him, and his brows wrinkled involuntarily.
