In the dream, there are vague motherly tears, and the water and mountains are long and miserable

"Niang" suddenly called, sat up suddenly, opened her eyes and looked around, a trace of dawn on the east window lattice, it turned out to be a dream of Nan Ke.

Piaoranzi was stunned for a moment, got up and got out of bed, and looked out the window, the sky was getting brighter.

Piao Ranzi recalled that after drinking three glasses of wine and sleeping all night last night, he was indeed too tired. Now that I'm back in the City God's Temple, the daredevil's stack of papers last night is going to be seen today. After thinking about it, Piaoranzi walked out of the door.

"Chenghuang, good morning" At the door, eight ghost pawns stood in unison, bowing to Piaoranzi.

"、、、、、、 you just got up?" Piaoranzi looked at them.

"We waited all night. Last night, according to the arrangement of Miss Murong and the land, lest the escaped storm goblins retaliate, let us protect the safety of the city god. The ghost junior replied.

"This 、、、、、、 doesn't have to" Piaoranzi saw the land laborers mobilize the crowd and let the eight ghost guards keep vigil for themselves, very unbearable, "You don't have to come tonight." ”

The eight ghost pawns looked at each other, not knowing who to listen to.

Piaoranzi came to the open hood of the divine beast, and the calf screamed at him "moo", stood up, shook his head, and came over to lick his palm, very affectionate.

"Chenghuang, let's go cut the weeds. The ghost junior followed.

"Remember, cut fresh, cut more, it is growing, and it will be eaten day by day. Piaoranzi watched the ghost junior take the two ghost pawns out, and felt a gaze coming from behind. Turning his head, Murong Yan looked at himself with a smile.

"Sister Yan, get up early. ”

"No, not an early riser, but a night without sleep. Murong Yan came to Niu Meng's side and said in a low voice.

"What's the matter? I've been talking to my aunt all night, and I'll go see my aunt later. ”

"No need. I've been worried, lest the storm goblins will hook you away like last time. ”

"What? You 、、、、、、 been on patrol for a night? I've been fooled once, and I won't be fooled twice. ”

"The storm fairy took the fairyland map and led you out, you saw the woman on the picture, guessed it was Wu Huiyun, a thousand years have passed, and you still can't forget it. If we were separated for a thousand years, would you still miss me like this 、、、、、、、?" Murong Yan asked leisurely as he stroked Niu Meng's white hair with his hand.

"Of course," Piaoranzi replied without hesitation. "Why don't you miss you, although we are not brothers and sisters born of the same mother, but we are like brothers and sisters, better than brothers and sisters, how can I not miss you"

"You 、、、、、、" Murong Yan's face turned from red to white, from white to blue, obviously very annoyed.

"Sister Yan, listen, how does it look like a bazaar outside?

"Well, I know. The land walked far away, and said with a smile: "In the past two days, there are many people who have come to the temple to offer incense, and small merchants and vendors have also followed, and we are about to become a market here." ”

Wan Suihe led Ji Ling and other ghost officials over. They drank heartily last night, and talked about the conquest as they drank, until they dispersed at the third watch, and got up in the morning to meet the city god together.

"Isn't it too flamboyant?" said Piao Ranzi with a frown.

"Hehehe, now in the whole Shu City, our City God's Temple is full of incense. Wan said casually. "In the past, I still came to offer incense on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, and few people usually came. Now it's different, since you took office, the first night to visit the palace of the king of Shu, alarmed the king of Shu to come to visit, the people of Shu City all know that the city god appeared, slashed demons, helped the needy, no matter how big or small, all came to ask for the city god. ”

"Yes, this is the document that the daredevils brought last night, and it is full of prayers and hopes from the people. Take a look. After Ji Ling finished speaking, he handed Piao Ranzi a stack of papers.

"So many" Piao Ranzi took it, and dozens of articles were densely written on the first page of the light: the Zhang family begged him to bless the safety of the house, the Li family begged him to bless the prosperity of people and wealth, the Zhao family begged him to bless the grain to sell at a high price, the Huang family begged him to bless his daughter to find a good family, etc., etc., and so on, it was all big to see Piao Ranzi.

"So much? I'm a thousand-armed Guanyin, and I can't do it. Piao Ranzi flipped down again and said: "I am a city god, and I have no skills, and I still have to count on everyone to do these things." ”

"It is our duty to assign the city god. However, there are some things that cannot be managed. Ji Lingdao.

"Yes, like this, bless the Huang family to find a good son-in-law, how to find it? There is no standard, besides, this marriage matter is managed by the old man under the moon, and we can't overstep the bounds. Wan said casually.

"Yes, we can't overstep our bounds. The land nodded as well. "These days, you are not in the temple, we heard that daredevils come in and out, I don't know what to do. ”

"Daredevil, he does things and doesn't greet you?" asked Piaoranzi.

"He only said that he would do good deeds for the city god and make a name for himself, and the city god would be happy when he knew about it," the land said.

"Then why didn't he say it yesterday?"

"It's not that you just came back, you look tired, you don't dare to disturb, and you have swept away our wine. Wan said casually.

"Chenghuang, it's not good" The big talker ran in from the corner gate, out of breath, and said to Piaoranzi: "There is a black strong man in the temple, with a few entourage, holding a steel whip in his hand, driving away the crowd of incense, and is making noise, and asking Chenghuang to go out to answer by name." Look at it."

Piaoranzi raised his legs and walked out, and the land grabbed him: "Chenghuang, slow down." Since he dared to come to the temple to make trouble, he was by no means an ordinary idle person. I think you'd better wait, we'll talk about it later. ”

"I am the city god of this temple, how can I be afraid of the head and tail?" He thought: Although he doesn't have much ability, he can't let the old man of the land take the lead, but he wants to see who is leading the wilderness.

"Brother Piao, I have an idea. Murong Yan said: "Let's go in from the main entrance, go around behind them, see if it's a human or a demon, whether it's an enemy or a friend, and then make a theory." ”

"It's a good idea, and I asked Miss Murong to accompany Chenghuang on a trip. "Land Road.

"Alright, let's go out through the gate. Piao Ranzi was about to go out from the gate, but Murong Yan pulled him: "Outside the gate is the street, it's too obvious." There is a new corner door in the backyard, where do we go from? ”

Murong Yan didn't sleep all night last night, and he went around to inspect it, knowing that the land was ordered to open a corner door, which was easy to enter and exit, but he didn't expect to use it in the morning.

The two of them came out of the corner gate, in front of a barren forest, and to the south, it was the east and west streets leading to the City God Temple. Crowds of people gathered outside the City God Temple.

"I didn't expect that after a few days, this desolate place became so lively. Piaoranzi said.

"Shibei three days, impressed. Murong Yan smiled at him.

"Hehe, it should be three days away from the temple, and it is impressive. Piao Ranzi also smiled.

"Looking at the two young friends, they must go to the City God Temple to make incense. Now the city god in this temple can be fulfilled," a tall and thin peddler, carrying incense, candles, paper horses, and a bundle of incense in his hand, stopped them, "If I bow to you, I will grow old together, give birth to a noble son early, and have a prosperous family in the future, buy a handful of incense." ”

After talking for a long time, it turned out to be selling incense. Piao Ranzi said in his heart, just about to bypass him and walk forward, Murong Yan took out a handful of copper coins: "Come to a bundle"

"Thank you, young grandmother, I wish you a windy and rainy future, and love this husband to old age. The little trader had a sweet mouth, handed Murong Yan a handful of incense, and bowed to thank him.

Murong Yan took the incense and walked forward with Piao Ranzi, and sure enough, the vendor in front saw that she had bought the incense in her hand and stopped peddling it.

The two walked to the gate of the Chenghuang Temple, gathered a group of people, and asked a man with an honest face: "Big brother, why don't you go in? What are you doing in front of the door?"

"Little brother, a group of people came in the morning, led by a big black man, with a double whip in his hand, and coaxed us out. You see, the group of craftsmen in the courtyard did not dare to come forward to repair the temple. The man listened to his foreign accent and told the truth.

"Let me go in and have a look. Piao Ranzi parted the crowd and entered the gate, followed by Murong Yan. A craftsman in the courtyard stopped them and said, "Two, let's go back today, someone has come to trouble the city god." Don't annoy them, you're bored. ”

"Thank you for your kindness. Let's go in and put on the incense and leave. Piaoranzi said.

The craftsman saw that they insisted on going in, and he did his duty to dissuade them, and he didn't care.

Piao Ranzi came to the gate of the temple, the gate had just been painted, and the plaque was shiny and shiny, Piao Ranzi knew that this was a craftsman sent by the King of Shu and allocated money to completely repair this City God Temple. I don't do repairs, the temples made of iron, the city gods of flowing water, after I leave, other city gods take office, which is also glorious.

As soon as he was about to go inside, he heard a person inside shouting and scolding, and his voice was like a loud bell: "You ghost pawns in the face of the city god, don't pretend to be deaf and dumb and come here, just to seek justice for Zhang Xian." Go and report to that city god, and go your own way, why do you meddle in other people's affairs."

"Listening to his words, it seems that he has interfered in other people's affairs, could it be that he is a fellow party of the troubled goblins who came to fight for him?" Crossing the threshold, I saw a strong man like a black iron tower in the temple, forty or fifty years old, wearing a phoenix-winged golden helmet, wearing a soapy robe, holding two steel whips in his hands, pointing to the statue of the city god and shouting.

"It looks like a military general. Piao Ranzi looked at the entourage again, they were all dressed as thugs, and there was a special one among them: a brocade dress, a face like fat powder, lips like beads, five locks of long hair, floating on the chest, more royal than the king of Shu, holding a bow in his left hand, holding a silver bullet in his right hand, his eyes were slightly closed, and he was recuperating.

As soon as Piaoranzi walked inside, a thug shouted: "You two idlers, hurry up and go out, my family respects the gods, and I am looking for Chenghuang to reason."

"You came to find the city god, I also came to worship the city god, let's not have anything to do with each other, the well water does not interfere with the river water, isn't it? Piao Ranzi smiled at Murong Yan.

"Yes, this temple, you are allowed to shout here, why don't you allow us to come to offer incense?" Murong Yan also smiled.

"Two young dolls, Hugh has to come here to make trouble" The big black man turned around and glared at Piaoranzi: "I'm looking for the city god to comment, you guys quickly retreat, this is not something you mortals can listen to"

"Oh, we mortals are not allowed to listen, are you a god, may I ask who holy you are?"

"Hahaha, I don't dare to be a god, and I am now under the whole world, and I have heard my name, why don't you know?

"This man has a bad brain. So he smiled and said, "You say that the whole world knows everything, why don't I know? You are a boastful, very big person, how can you not blush when you talk big?"

"Wow, I'm angry," the black man gritted his teeth and roared: "Since I became a god, no one has been so rude to me, saying my name, scaring you to death, you are a young ghost, you have heard that I am a general of the Tang Dynasty, surnamed Wei Chi, a soap-robed general with a respectful name."
