Chapter 166: Worship from All Directions (I)

"Success and retirement, the way of heaven. "Piao Ranzi looked at the sky with his eyes, this Fan Li is also a character.

"No, yes: if you retire after success, the way of heaven is good. Murong Yan corrected. "Look at the ninth chapter of the Tao Te Ching: rich and arrogant, self-blame. Meritorious retreat, the way of heaven. Chapter 10: Carry the camp to hug one, can there be no separation, can be as dedicated and soft, can be as a baby, can be cleansed away from the mysteries, can be flawless?、、、、、、 this tenth chapter of the camp spirit hug one, followed by four words and one sentence, the first sentence is one more 'carry' word, the literature and science do not understand. Remove the word 'carry', but it is symmetrical with the back, all four words and one sentence. I think that the word "Zai" should be copied incorrectly, and it is clearly subordinate to the previous chapter, rich and arrogant, and self-blame. After retiring, the way of heaven is also very smooth. It can be seen that although it is a Taoist scripture, Taishang Laozi left a book, and later generations copied it, and it was inexplicable and lost its authenticity. ”

"We've learned a lot," the land laughed. "Is it true, such an obvious mistake, future generations still do not know how to change it, and cling to dogma. It's not too early, everyone is ready to prepare, and tomorrow we will welcome all the city gods. ”

"The land, the city gods everywhere are coming, we have to send people to greet them, right?"

"Of course," said the land. "Please arrange the ghost officials for Chenghuang. ”

"Well, there will be daredevils guarding the Temple tomorrow. Piao Ranzi thought about it, "Ji Ling, you take five ghost pawns and wait at the east gate to greet the city god from the east road; Brother Wan, please take five ghost pawns to meet you at the south gate; Dahua ghost brings five ghost pawns to the west gate to greet you; braggart ghost, you take five ghost pawns and greet you at the north gate." No matter where they came from, they all walked into the mansion from the desert behind the temple. Here, by the land, black and white impermanence and I, greet the hospitality. How?"

"Of course it's good," the land nodded yes. The ghosts listened to the arrangement and were about to disperse.

"What about me, I'll stay with you and receive the city gods together. Murong Yan shook his face and said.

"If you're 、、、、、、 willing to show up, arrange a seat here. Piao Ranzi looked at Murong Yan and saw that her face had improved, and it was not good to brush her mind.

"I see, black and white impermanence is responsible for bringing ghosts and pawns, serving tea and water, how about it?" said the land.

"No problem, it's up to us. "Black and white are impermanent.

"Brother Piao. I think, how about letting the ghost pawns set up the tables and chairs tomorrow morning?" Murong Yan said.

"Okay, so be it. Do you think there's anything else wrong with that?" asked Piaoranzi.

The ghost officials thought about it, there was no problem, and they scattered in all directions. Piaoranzi came to the side of the open hood, led the cow, and went to the wilderness behind the temple to train. When he came back in the evening, he had dinner with all the ghosts and went back to the wing room to sleep.

The next morning, Piao Ranzi got up early, washed up, came to the back house, and greeted Mrs. Murong.

"Chenghuang, I didn't expect you to be the agent for a few days, and it is really glad that so many Chenghuang have come to visit. Mrs. Murong said.

"What is the matter with my aunt, just as I command. ”

"My daughter, entertain your guests with you. There is something, please help, ask. Mrs. Murong said.

"What's the matter? Tell me, I'll do what I can do. ”

"Brother Piao, my mother said, let you ask those Chenghuang, who has recently gone to the Heavenly Palace, have you seen my father, and if so, what is he doing. When I heard about it, my mother was relieved. Murong Yan said.

"Okay, I'll ask. Piao Ranzi agreed.

"Go ahead," Lady Murong said.

"Let's retire first, as soon as there is news of Uncle Murong, I will let Yan Mei tell you. After Piao Ranzi finished speaking, he and Murong Yan left the back house.

Murong Mansion, a large courtyard, is well organized, east, west, north and south, stack tables, chairs and benches, according to what is written on the prayer post, divided into four seats, east, west, north and south, one of which is the table case, which is equivalent to the rostrum, is the place where Piao Ranzi speaks and thanks.

"The city gods from all over the place come to worship, it is a big deal in Shucheng, everyone must be entertained, don't embarrass Chu Chenghuang and our Shucheng. "Land Road.

"Got it," all the ghost officials and ghost pawns agreed in unison.

Ji Ling, Wan Suihe, big talk ghosts, and braggart ghosts, each with five ghost pawns, went out of the city to meet the four city gods. Black and white impermanence assigned ghost pawns, lit a fire and burned tea, and the land, Piaoranzi, and Murong Yan sat at the table in the middle, talking in a low voice.

After a while, the corner door opened, and a thin old man walked in, dressed like an official, and the ghost behind him introduced him to the other party, and said with one finger: "This is Shucheng Chenghuang Chu Piaoran, this is the land here, and this is the Murong girl of this mansion." ”

"Fortunately, I will be lucky" The thin old man hurriedly saluted Piaoranzi, and he didn't need to be introduced by the ghost, and said to himself: "I am the Chenghuang of Jintang County, the common family is surnamed Ji, and the name is far away." ”

"Fortunately, I will be lucky," Piaoranzi arched.

"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time. "Land Road.

"This Ji Chenghuang, you Jintang County, in the north, please sit down here. Murong Yan pointed to the table in the north seat, and Ji Chenghuang nodded and said, "Thank you" went to the table in the north and sat down.

"Black and white impermanence, please serve tea to Ji Chenghuang," the land shouted.

"It's coming," Hei Wuchang agreed, and ordered the ghost pawn to serve the hot tea, "Ji Chenghuang is the first to arrive in Shucheng today." ”

"It's not the first month near the water, our Jintang County is the closest, so we should come to visit first. Ji Chenghuang took the tea and took a sip.

Piao Ranzi wanted to go over to talk, but just as he was about to turn around, a few city gods came to the corner gate, including Pengshan County Chenghuang, Meishan Chenghuang, Qingshen Chenghuang, and so on.

One after another, city gods from all over the country came to visit, and they met one by one, only remembering which state and county someone was from, so many names, to the point that I never remembered a few.

It was almost noon, and the city gods from all over the country had arrived. Piao Ranzi was just about to order the ghost pawn to close the corner gate, and the ghost pawn who received the city god in four ways rushed to the city with a large group of people.
