Piao Ranzi hurried to the back house, and in the living room, Mrs. Murong asked, "Piao Ran Chenghuang, did you quarrel with Yan'er?"

"No, aunt, listen to me. Piao Ranzi stopped and said, "Yan Mei is willing to follow me to kill demons, but it's too dangerous, I don't agree, she is very unhappy." I'll explain it to her. ”

"Oh, that's right. Well, she's just in the study, you go and talk to her. Mrs. Murong pointed to the study.

Piao Ranzi walked to the door of the study and knocked on the door: "Sister Yan, listen to me, we have offended the Fox Immortal Gate and the Liu Immortal Gate, and the Five Immortal Sect will come to find it in the future, I don't care about you." In the past few days, encountering risks, you follow me, I am really afraid that you will make a mistake, and you will not be able to explain to Murong Chenghuang in the future. ”

"Go back, no more talking. Murong Yan said in the house.

"Sister Yan, don't go out of the house now, the Five Immortals Sect will be dealt with by me, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover it. Piaoranzi said.

There was no sound in the study. Piao Ranzi stood silently for a while, "Sister Yan, thank you for helping me these days, I understand your kindness!"

With that, he walked away slowly, and walked back in a daze. In the living room, Mrs. Murong also went back to the inner house. Out of the living room, passing under the grape trellis, Piao Ranzi was still in a daze, suddenly, the soles of his feet "squeaked", and a big gray mouse, dragging a piece of meat, ran quickly past his feet.

"There are still rats in this mansion," Piao Ranzi looked at the huge courtyard, and further on, all the ghost guards surrounded him, and the clever ghost asked Piao Ranzi: "Chenghuang, has Miss Murong lost her anger?"

Piaoranzi shook her head and sat down listlessly.

"It's okay, I'll explain to her later. "Clever and ghostly.

"Chenghuang, now only that Gongsun Yu's matter has not been resolved, let's do our best to clear his grievances. Wan said casually.

"Yes," Piaoranzi looked around at everyone, remembering that the mouse was dragging something, and suddenly had an idea: "Brother Wan, I have an idea, kill two birds with one stone." ”

"You say it, come and hear it. Wan said casually.

Piaoranzi dismissed all the ghosts, leaving only Wan Suihe, clever ghosts, and land, and told them his plans.

"Good, great!" said the land. "Doing this can not only take care of Gongsun Yu's face, but also wash away his grievances, and let Mr. Baomo be lost and recovered, which is a three-win strategy. ”

"Okay, let's do this matter by Brother Wan and the clever ghost, it's best to do it at night. Piaoranzi said.

Wan easy-going, clever ghost took the order and left.

It was past noon, and Piaoranzi yawned, and listened to the gongs and drums outside the City God Temple, and people shouted and neighed.

"What's wrong?" Piao Ranzi was suspicious, and the daredevils ran in in a panic, out of breath, and said: "Chenghuang, you go to the temple quickly! There are many people here, and the king of Shucheng has come to visit Chenghuang in person!"

"Oh, why is he here?" asked Piaoranzi, getting up.

"It's not that you, except for the three demon foxes, the king of Shucheng came to thank us. "Daredevil.

"Then how do I meet him?" asked Piaoranzi.

This is a difficult problem, he will not be invisible, and he does not want to meet with the king of Shucheng, I don't know what to do.

The land said: "I see, it is okay if the city god does not go." ”

"No, I still have to persuade the prince a few words, so that he can abandon evil and follow good as soon as possible, and treat the people of Shucheng well. Piaoranzi said. Suddenly, he remembered what Murong Yan said that he could leave his soul, and said to the land: "You wait here, take care of my body, and I will go to meet the prince." With that, he sat down in his chair, and the ghost left his body and floated in the air.

"Chenghuang is so beautiful! It turns out that he is really a young man in the wind of the jade tree!" all the ghost soldiers praised.

"Daredevil, you let the king of Shucheng and the others exit the temple first, and then I will stand behind the statue. Fluttering Zi rushed to the daredevil.

"Order!" The daredevils disappeared and rode the wind forward, followed by Piaoranzi.

The City God Temple was originally located in a remote place in Shucheng, but the king of Shucheng led the palace attendants, the Taishou of Shucheng and all the officials, and the gong opened the way, and came with great fanfare, attracting the people of Shucheng to watch and follow.

Along the way, the drummers blow in front and the firecrackers in the back, which is very lively. The king of Shucheng came to the front of the Chenghuang Temple, ordered his attendants to hang a row of red lanterns on both sides of the temple gate, and ordered his subordinates to clean the courtyard and clean up the sundries in the temple, and then led the officials into the temple.

The king of Shucheng ordered his men to come down to offer incense, candles, paper horses, melons and fruits, and placed them in front of the statue of the city god. After the incense was finished, before he could speak, suddenly, a voice came out of the sky above the statue: "The king of Shucheng and his officials, temporarily withdraw from the temple, and the city god will come out and wait for the driver!"

One sentence frightened the prince and all the officials, and they all looked up, but there was no one in sight, it seemed that this was the ghost pawn under Chenghuang, and he came to inform them first. So the king of Shucheng took people and withdrew from the temple first.

After a while, the daredevils came to the gate of the temple again and said to the people in the courtyard: "Lord Wang, please come in, Lord Chenghuang is waiting for you!"

The soles of the kings of Shucheng were like stepping on cotton, swaying, re-entering the temple, coming to the statue, bowing three times to the statue of the city god, and said: "The city god Bodhisattva is above, and the king of Shucheng is polite!"

"King Shucheng, don't be polite!" The idol suddenly spoke, so frightened that the king of Shucheng and the others did not dare to look up.

"This king mistakenly believed in the demon way, let the people of Shucheng do more labor, build a large number of buildings, and forced them to become Taoist priests and Taoist children, and let the three demon foxes make waves, such a sin, and ask the Chenghuang Bodhisattva for forgiveness! This king cultivates according to the demon law, harms others and himself, and already knows that he is wrong!" The king of Shucheng folded his hands and bowed his head humbly.

"Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, good is great!" replied the statue of the god. "This city god is dedicated to the sake of the people, eliminating demons and guarding the way, and saving the prince from the astray, it is the thing that should be done, please don't worry about the prince. ”

"This king is grateful for the teachings of the Bodhisattva, and he will stay away from evil ways in the future. "The king of Shucheng said. "These three demon foxes, one of them made me sleep for eight hours (sixteen hours) every day, and I became an immortal in my sleep, one made fine wine, made me feel drunk and not drunk, and was fascinated all day long, and the other taught me to become a god, and had fun with my concubines, and did not do my job. Now that I think about it, it's all sorcery. These days, this king has practiced according to their Taoism, but now his legs are weak and his body is weak, and if he goes on like this, if the Chenghuang Bodhisattva does not come to save me, I am afraid that death is not far away. ”

"That's true!" said Piaoranzi. "I also ask the prince to give up evil magic in the future and seek well-being for the people of Shucheng. Piaoranzi said.

"Thank you for the teachings of the Chenghuang Bodhisattva!" said the king of Shucheng, kneeling on the ground, and the officials of Shucheng behind him also knelt down in the temple. The king of Shucheng took the lead and kowtowed.

"Lord Chitose, please get up quickly!" said Piaoranzi. "These three demon foxes are demagogic and unpunished, please don't tolerate demons in the future. ”

"Yes, yes, but I don't know if these three demon foxes have been eliminated?" asked the King of Shucheng.

"They have fled with wounds. There is this city god, forgive them and dare not come to Shucheng again. Piaoranzi replied.

"That's good! That's good!" The king of Shucheng stood up and said to the officials behind him: "Today, the city god Bodhisattva is manifested, teaching us and others, everyone must be diligent in political affairs in the future, and there must be no mistakes!"

"I'll obey orders!" Shucheng Taishou took the lead in agreeing.

Under the begonia tree in the palace, seven dead corpses were all killed by demon foxes, and they also asked the prince to recite scriptures and perform deeds for them, so as to surpass their souls. After Piao Ranzi finished speaking, he looked at the people outside the temple gate, probed his brain, and asked, "Lord Chitose, why don't the people outside let them in?"

"This 、、、、、、 back to Chenghuang, I'm afraid they will disturb you. King Shucheng frowned.

"It's okay, you let them in, I'll hear what else they have to say. Piaoranzi said.

"That's good, this king prepares offerings, and in the future, every first and fifteenth day of the new year, this king will prepare a thin gift and make offerings to the city god, please smile and accept it, and bless the safety of Shu City!. After the king of Shucheng finished speaking, he led his subordinates to deal with the temple gate, came to the courtyard, and burned the paper money.

Outside the temple gate, the people saw the king of Shucheng withdraw, and swarmed in, crowding the temple, and the people hula lala knelt down: "City God bless! City God bless!"

"All the fathers and villagers of Shucheng, please get up! This king did not do anything earth-shattering, but let everyone pay homage and thank you, and I don't want to go!" Piao Ranzi replied.

"Lord Chenghuang, I have found Danqing's wonderful hand and painted your face!" The young man who was rescued in the moat in the morning also squeezed into the crowd, kowtowed, and said to the idol in front of Piao Ranzi.

"This doesn't have to be!" stopped Piaoranzi.

"That's not good, this statue, I don't know how many years, should also be replaced with the statue of Xinchenghuang. We all know that you bless the people of Shucheng, you should pay homage to you, and we should do it to put red and hang colors on the city god!" the young man said hurriedly
