Chapter 13: The City God

Bidding farewell to King Li Tianwang, Qi Fan left Yunlou Palace, playing with a delicate carving knife in his hand, and sighed.

The heavy treasure given by Li Tianwang is really extraordinary.

Although this knife does not have a well-known name, it was taken by Li Tianwang from Huode Xingjun.

It is forged with 50 layers of nine-turn iron, and the snowflake pattern on it is beautiful.

Although this knife is extremely sharp, Qi Fan doesn't want this knife to be stained with blood, this peerless knife should be played where he should play.

For example, carve a flower, grass, birds, and beasts, and a fairy in the Moon Palace.

From Li Tianwang's mouth, Qi Fan knew that the earth immortal named Ji Xin was the city god of Chang'an City.

He is not only in charge of the Yin Cha of Chang'an City, but also the chief city god of the surrounding three provinces. In the world, it can be described as a high authority.

King Li Tianwang also instructed Qi Fan that this city god especially liked the Yunlou incense of Yunlou Palace, and specially asked Qi Fan to bring a jar.

Qi Fan went back to the cave, made the reimbursement for the last business trip, and then packed his things and went out.

First, I went to the God of Wealth Temple to receive reimbursement, and there were not a few pieces of immortal jade, mainly because of some travel and travel subsidies, which is better than nothing.

Out of the Nantianmen, Qi Fan summoned his dark cloud as usual, took out the Kanyu map, identified the direction of Chang'an, and flew away.

came to Chang'an City, Qi Fan came down far away from the city, there were so many people coming and going, it was not good to be seen by ordinary people.

Then Qi Fan came to a city god temple, the incense in the temple was quite prosperous, and people came and went. There are umbrella sellers who beg for rain, there are fans who ask if it doesn't rain, and there are those who ask for sons and daughters for wealth.

An old Taoist man about fifty years old came up to Qi Fan, "Sir, buy a pillar of incense, it's spiritual!" ”

Qi Fan pretended to be surprised and let out an "oh", "Dare to ask Dao Chang, is there anything to say about this incense?" ”

The man immediately twisted his beard and made a high-ranking gesture.

"Sir, I'm afraid it's the first time I've come to my Chang'an."

"How so?"

"Mr. doesn't know, my city god temple in Chang'an, I respond to requests and do everything, as long as anyone who has been to Chang'an knows."

Qi Fan couldn't help but wonder, "Is there really such a spirit?" That dare to ask the chief, how much is the incense of the searcher? ”

The Taoist stretched out three fingers, "Three taels of silver!" ”

Qi Fan couldn't help but gasp, three taels of silver was enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for a year.

The Taoist said mysteriously, "Sincerity is spirituality!" ”

Qi Fan listened interestingly, there are so many articles in it.

I happily spent three taels of silver to buy three large incense sticks that were three feet long, and respectfully lit them in the incense burner.

Just when Qi Fan looked up, time passed around him, and he had already arrived in a yamen, and it was Ji Xin, the city god of Chang'an, who was in the hall, and Ji Xin hung a gilt plaque on his head, with four big characters in the middle, "Are you here".

Qi Fan glanced at it curiously, and then then gave Ji Xin a salute.

"Xiaoxian meets Master Ji."

Ji Xin hurriedly came down from the hall and said with Qi Fan's arm.

"Daoyou was introduced by Li Tianwang, so there is no need to be like this. Let's walk, we talk in the inner hall. As he spoke, he instructed the left and right inner halls to add water and boil tea.

The two talked as they walked.

Qi Fan asked, "My lord, this Chenghuang Temple is also very interesting, and the communication is not with telekinesis, but with incense." ”

"I'm ashamed, I'm forced to be helpless, so I have to make this decision.

Over the years, Buddhism has risen, and the mental power of ordinary people has become weaker and weaker, and we can't collect the mental power of many people.

That's why a few Taoists were specially arranged, and a batch of incense was specially made to inject mana.

In this way, as long as ordinary people burn the incense, we can sense the mental power of these ordinary people.

It is good to remove the demon guard road and ensure that the wind and rain are smooth. ”

Qi Fan then asked.

"But we are immortal cultivators, yellow and white things are useless to us, what do adults do."

Ji Xin sighed.

"Little friend didn't know that only a small part of these silver taels were used to repair the temple. Most of them belong to those Taoists. ”

"Why is that?"

"Although the demons dare not appear easily, there are many spirits and evil spirits.

Although there are 12 divisions in my City God Temple, the area under its management is too large, and it is difficult to catch all the spirits that are hidden.

Therefore, the rest of the silver was used by those Taoists as a reward for catching ghosts.

I also promised them a yang cha official position, and when they are dead, they can come to my City God Temple to join the job.

But this official position has never been approved.

I'm worried about these things, too. ”

The two walked into the inner hall and sat down separately, Qi Fan explained his intentions, and then handed the Yunlou incense that Li Tianwang asked him to bring.

Ji Xin was overjoyed, hurriedly made two cups of tea, handed one to Qi Fan, and then continued.

"Daoyou's matter, although Li Tianwang has already informed me, but my City God Temple has to follow the process, I don't know if Daoyou has Li Tianwang's letter of recommendation?"

Qi Fan hurriedly handed over the letter written by Li Tian, and after Ji Xin finished checking it, he put the letter aside.

"With a letter of recommendation, it's easy to do.

Li Tianwang said, your time of descent is registered in Nantianmen.

And if I want to recommend you to the underworld, I also need the experience of working in the City God Temple.

In this way, I now have an errand here to be the deputy commander of the department, and I hope that the Taoist friends will not dislike it. ”

Qi Fan asked.

"Dare to ask your lordship, what does Daoji do about this?"

Ji Xin waved his hand.

"My City God's Temple is divided into the Yin and Yang Division, the Quick Report Division, the Gong Cao Division, the Merit Division, the Zhufu Division, the Plague Division, the Induction Division, the Crime Division, the Gong Examination Division, the Meritorious Service Division, the Prison Division, and the Matter to the Division.

This matter is in charge of managing the reporting of the souls of the Yin and Yang Realm to the underworld.

Daoists don't need to do anything, they just need to live in my City God Temple for a year.

After waiting for a year, I will arrange for Daoist friends to escort an evil ghost to the underworld.

Then you only need to hand over my letter to the Wheel King, and he will arrange it when the time comes. ”

Qi Fan hurriedly thanked him.

Ji Xin waved his hand.

"It doesn't have to be like this, Daoyou is under the command of Li Tianwang, they are all a family, and there is no need to speak two families."

After speaking, he arranged a residence and identity token for Qi Fan.

Because there were no demons appearing in the world, Qi Fan didn't make a move this year, and basically spent his time meditating and cultivating.

A year later.

Ji Xin found Qi Fan, handed him an envelope, and told him to prepare.

After three days, he will escort a ghost to the underworld.

When the child is young, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.

Qi Fan came to the prison department with two errands and brought out a female ghost in prison uniform.

It is said that this female ghost has injured a lot of lives, and they are all small dolls.

Qi Fan couldn't help but feel a wave of disgust in his heart, and he wanted to shake the immortal qi on his body and directly transform this female ghost.

But immortals have fairy ways, and ghosts have ghost ways.

As long as it is registered in the City God Temple, it will naturally be handed over to the Senluo Temple for trial. If he tried to shake this female ghost to death, then Chenghuang would have one less achievement.

The streets were foggy, with only three people and a prisoner cart moving slowly.

Walking to an ornate torii decorated with reliefs and cornices, the surrounding environment changes abruptly.

Qi Fan looked back, and there were two big characters hanging on the archway.

"Quiet"!

The torii is preceded by a straight path, and the red flowers on both sides bloom on the underworld.

Everything was quiet, and the three people and one prisoner car walked silently on the road to the capital city.
