Chapter Forty-Six: Something Happened in the Heavens
The crescent moon hangs obliquely, and the stars are only decorated, and the stars cannot escape from the moon.
In the middle of the night, the city god temple in Linyue Bay, the pilgrims have already dispersed, compared to the noisy Zhumen of the boat in the river bay, the city god temple is quiet as if it is a different world.
The incense candles and tears were whispered, and the green smoke curled into the soul.
A vague figure walked out of the statue of the city god, extremely hazy, unable to see clearly, floating lightly on the ground, also silent.
The temple that had never left felt something, woke up from the nap, raised his eyes, and there were not too many accidents, he got up with a wooden cane, and said, "Lord Chenghuang." ”
The vague figure called "City God" bowed his head lightly, and said inarticulately: "It's been hard work for a day." ”
Miaozhu replied: "It's just dutiful, don't dare to say hard work." ”
Knowing that the city god would stay for a while, he didn't bother after the temple said it, but went inside to invite three incense sticks, and prayed three times and inserted it into the incense burner.
Standing behind the temple gate, looking at the colorful lights of the river, Chenghuang recalled the events of this morning, and after eating tasteless incense for 20 years, his mood was less turbulent and more dull.
When encountering difficulties, the yang official actually prayed to the yin official, and the prefect did this kind of thing.
If he used personal friendship to fool a book of will from the capital, he would have to recognize it if he didn't recognize the City God's Temple, but it seems that the prefect of half of his colleagues was not qualified enough and lacked connections, so he couldn't reach out to the capital.
If the court has the power to abolish the ancestral law, from now on the Yangshi Mansion and the Yin Si Chenghuang are "now in charge", these people below can get by, and the public who is not a Xu official is better than a Xu official, will accept their fate.
But this ancestral law is not only the law of Chuqiu country, but also the whole dynasty, no matter how rebellious and even those who seek to usurp the throne, they dare not mention abolishing this law.
What about the Grandmaster?
There is no spirit infestation, not a demon, each sweeping the snow in front of the door!
There is no way for good or evil, but people call themselves.
Since he was able to get to the City God Temple, it was obvious that the one sitting in the hall in the government had caused a strange disaster and set himself on fire, even if he promised a lot of benefits, the City God didn't want to get into trouble.
The magistrate of flowing water, the iron-clad city god temple.
This is not absolute, but it is true for Yin officials who have not moved places for decades.
Being in the officialdom, the city god who has lived for two lifetimes is the "fox fairy" in the old fox, seeing the juniors with officialdom qualifications, he doesn't mind helping out, and the juniors who can't help in the future will have a time when he will soar, if he can enter the capital to meet the face of the sky, as long as he says a few words in the heavenly official, he will also be a good chicken dog to ascend to heaven.
"You are the prefect or forget it, the strong foreign and the middle cadres are all praises, and the local herdsmen are really unsatisfactory."
Thinking of this, Cheng God's heart swelled with boredom.
After dying once, he returned to another officialdom, and the intrigue was a little less, but unfortunately it was still not exempt from vulgarity.
Before his death, he worked hard, or went to the wine field, or went home to sleep with his head covered, and he could always work hard the next day, but now it is not possible.
"Over the years, there have been various rumors, and the most annoying thing is that there may be changes in the kingdom of God. But whether it is a dynasty or a subsidiary, no announcement has been issued, what do you think about this? ”
Waiting for the temple to ponder for a moment, he gave a few insights, "The kingdom of God is too high, and we can't see the true face of the mortal world, in my shallow opinion, whether it is a little ghost who inquires about the rumors, or a ceremonial official who worships the heavens of the dynasty, he can't get the exact news."
Only those who beg for freedom to come and go, open the eyes of heaven, and see the true face of the kingdom of God, can they proclaim to the world. ”
Chenghuang nodded and said, "Not bad." The kingdom of God outside the sky can naturally only be explored by the immortals outside the mountain, and I, a small city god, are worried about the sky. ”
Miao Zhu thought back and forth, but still said the worries in his heart, "If something really happens in the kingdom of God, all the yin divisions in the world will be implicated, and the city god will ......."
The conscientious Miao Zhu originally wanted the city god to make plans as soon as possible. Can be a city god, no more than obscene words and wild gods, will be entered into the jade book of the national dynasty, by the edict order, the half-dead people have half a life left, all in the thought of others, if there is no accident, you have to draw the ground to guard the place until you die.
The body is golden, and the Tao is Shinto.
It is the help of some big country city gods, the flourishing incense, and the extraordinary talent of his own cultivation, which can break free from the shackles of the jade book and be able to travel in all directions.
There are very few lucky people who have a combination of talent and luck.
Being far away will only make people envious, and will not give birth to red eyes that are close at hand.
Moreover, as a city god, its own destiny is closely connected with the dynasty and the country, and in ordinary small countries, it is enough for the country to cross the threshold of 300 years, which can be compared with the hundreds of years of longevity of people in practice, which is self-evident and dwarfed.
The silent Chenghuang looked at the hanging lanterns in the river bay, from the beginning of the lanterns to the rising sun, for more than ten years, the seemingly great changes in Linyue Bay, the inside is actually unchanged.
Chenghuang said: "Almost all official histories record that when the Kingdom of God preached the world, it was awarded the 'Spirit and Spirit God'.
Wen Zezhou's scholars served as 'masons', building 'bones, flesh and tendons, to put it bluntly, they contributed, and later generations of merchants contributed money to build temples. This is also the origin of why the sect lords and immortals admired the kingdom of God, and the secular dynasties respected Wenze more, of course, most of them.
Even if there is no energy, the bones and muscles can still live, after all, it is better to die than to live, no matter how bad it is, it will not be bad. ”
Chenghuang said calmly: "If it is really unfortunate, then it doesn't matter. It is impossible to say that the big change is also an opportunity to get out of the cage, but it is impossible to find it, and it is necessary to give it a try. ”
Miao Zhu only has one acre and three points of land in the heart of the City God Temple, as long as it is for the good of the City God, what should be done, but I am still not very optimistic about the opportunity of the City God, so I have to silently pray in my heart for the Kingdom of God, the heaven and the earth will live together, and the sun and the moon will be the same.
Under the uncertainty of the future, Chenghuang can say a few words of comfort, but at the moment, he knows his own difficulties.
The outstretched palm of the city god can only distinguish the palm of his own city god in the eyes of the temple zhu, and the five fingers can't be distinguished.
The incense is prosperous, and the heart is not pure.
If the heart is not sincere, it will not work.
If you don't want to end, you have no faith.
Ordinary people can understand the truth, but there are only a few who do what they say, people's hearts are already complicated, and the land of fireworks can lead people to degenerate, many pilgrims come here to offer incense, and their own requests are incredible, and the ravines in their hearts are filled with lust, how can this make them get their wish.
Because of this, the incense of Linyue Bay has always looked at its peak, and what was left for this city god "in the bowl" was enough to be greedy, not to be seen, and not to be used.
A few people walked out of a certain painting boat, staggering around, supporting each other, looking more like pushing forward, staggering ashore.
None of them could straighten up.
There were a few people on one side, who seemed to have scales tied around their necks, and their heads had been clubbed to the ground.
The man on the other side, with his waist bent back, his mouth and nose facing the sky, seemed to be a little drunk, and he could still speak freely without delaying the bragging.
Profound skills.
Several people said goodbye to each other, and the drunken single man wandered home, and after walking out for a while, his stomach suddenly had the intention of rebellion, and he quickly covered his mouth and nose with his hand, and blocked the wine that had surged to his throat.
After a while, the wine in his stomach was suppressed and no longer noisy, and the drunkard moved his hand away and said stupidly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not wasted." ”
Drunken eyes, glanced ahead, and was happy, good fellow, which inn is this? There are still people guarding the main gate to welcome guests at night, and they are too particular about it, so they will come to this house to rest if they know it.
Raising his heavy eyelids, he still couldn't see the man's face clearly, and the drunkard simply opened his throat to greet the man, "This brother, you haven't drunk less at night, you've drunk ghosting, flower wine or vegetarian wine?" ”
Miao Zhu was puzzled, and the city god was also puzzled, this temple is his dojo, covering people's ears and eyes as he wants, unless a high-level monk or a magic weapon to break obstacles, how did this person break through the city god temple and see his own at a glance?
Could it be that this person is the grandmaster who made trouble for the prefect?
"In a few years, it won't take a few years, when I return from my adventures, I will definitely come to your inn!"
Miao Zhu saw the drunkard stumble away, and said: "It seems that he is an ordinary drunkard, and he is so drunk that he can't distinguish between people and ghosts." ”
Chenghuang watched the man slowly walk away, his heart was filled with a little ripple, he couldn't figure out a clue, he thought that more things are better than less, calmed his mood, turned around and took a flash step, and disappeared into the statue.
Cui Yingdong staggered back to the inn, relying on the only trace of clarity left in his heart, he didn't dare to disturb Xiaojing, this time he went directly to his room, and saw the futon like seeing his father and mother who had been separated for many years, and fell down on the bed with a swoop.
Chen Jing, who heard the movement, came here, first knocked on the door, but failed to hear a response, so he unceremoniously pushed the door and went straight in, only for a moment the smell of alcohol in the house was permeated, and this time he was really drunk.
Half-cover the window, and then pull out the futon that was pressed under her, spread it out and cover the woman, I don't know if she can still hear it, or can't help but reprimand: "I just learned to drink, so I don't have a heart?" Tomorrow, if you are bedridden and eat on the road behind, I will watch it myself. Annoyed or troubled, it's up to you anyway. ”
The woman hummed unconsciously, she understood, she was playing tricks again, greedy and too lazy to move.
"I'm done, I won't call you tomorrow morning." Turn around and leave.
Suddenly, Cui Ying stood up like a cramp in her legs, drunk as if she couldn't control her body, planted a wooden plank from the bed, and shouted, "Xiaojing, don't go." ”
Chen Jing, who couldn't see her drinking, was even more annoyed when he saw this situation, "What a decent!" ”
After all, he walked over to help her up, and said in a fierce voice: "You can't drink uncontrollably in the future." ”
Hugged back to the bed, Cui Ying wrapped her hands around Chen Jing's neck to prevent him from leaving, wanting to tease the man, puffing out her belly and wanting to burp.
Chen Jing, who was familiar with her, stretched out a hand to block her mouth and let her swallow it back.
Cui Ying was powerless to pull with her hands, this was the loss of being drunk, and finally both hands were released, and she fell on the bed, pulling her hands, and wanted to hang on the man.
"Haven't made enough of it!?" Chen Jing's tone began to be stiff.
The woman simply didn't use her hands, moved her body like a worm, turned her head on the side of the bed after turning around, looked at the man and said, "Let's put on a show, Ming'er, the three brothers of the Qiu family invited us to go to the big boat to play, we want to eat and drink." ”
Chen Jing stared at her and said, "Do they have something to ask for?" Otherwise, how can you and me be so flattering. ”
The wine became heavier and heavier, Cui Ying retched twice, drooling and said: "It seems that there is something unspeakable, and I haven't said it, I should be thinking about taking advantage of tomorrow's opportunity to have fun and tell the truth." ”
Chen Jing tapped his index finger a few times, "If I can help, I won't be stingy." I can't delay the trip, let's see what happens, you just promised too much, which makes me a little embarrassed. ”
Cui Ying shook her head back and forth, trying to sober herself up, but the brain and the brain case seemed to be separated, and she was even more drowsy when she moved back and forth, and complained: "You can also see that they are not bad people, at least not the kind that is pitch black, if you really let us do murder and goods, I dare to turn my face immediately and cripple the three of them." ”
Chen Jing sighed, "In short, you can't be evil, you can't delay the trip, everything else is easy to say." ”
After speaking, he seemed to be angry, and gave the woman a slap in the face, "You have to sleep." ”
Cui Ying didn't listen to the call with her hands and feet, her mouth was not honest, and she said stiffly: "Xiaojing, don't go, I'll sing you a song......"
The man walked out of the room and closed the door, leaving her alone to go drunk.
