Chapter 31: The Old City God

The child's curiosity prompted Xiao Yin Qing, who thought he was hiding well, to secretly stare at Ji Yuan for a while, but the more he looked at it, the more creepy he became, and finally he couldn't help but escape.

This scared Yin Qing didn't dare to go back to find a little friend who came out to play together, what would the child do when he was scared, run home to find his parents!

So Yin Qing was the same, panting all the way and running straight home.

Yin Qing's house is also in Tianniufang, even if it is a declination angle from Ju'an Xiaoge, the straight-line distance is actually only a few hundred meters.

The Yin family is a low-walled courtyard, a house with a front hall and a back room, but a simple screen separates the fairly spacious front hall, there is a place for the living room and the Yin family father and son to study, and the kitchen is connected to the outside of the main house, which is an ordinary family on the whole.

Yin Qing ran home in one breath, pushed open the courtyard door with a "bang~", and then rushed into the foyer, startling Yin's mother, who was weaving at home.

"A-Niang, A-Niang!! over there, there's a big gentleman, he, huhu... The big gentleman and the ghost, ...... huhu"

"Don't worry, talk well, what a big gentleman is not a big gentleman!"

Yin's mother took out a handkerchief to wipe Yin Qing's sweat.

"What a person, what kind of system does it become to speak incoherently!"

The stern voice came, startling Yin Qing, and even suppressed the fear of being suspected of hitting a ghost before.

"Daddy, you're at home......"

Yin Qing turned his head and noticed that by the window in the hall, his father was sitting on a chair with a book that turned the pages.

"Qing'er, your father was elected by Master Zhu and Master Zhou to be the master of the new school in the county, and you don't have to go to Zhu's Mansion to be a private tutor in the future. ”

"Master, really, Daddy, when will it start?"

Yin Qing was very excited when he heard the news.

"Hehe, it's true, it will take a few days, but it won't be too long!"

Father Yin replied with a somewhat smug stroke.

"When the time comes, you will go to the school together, don't mess around outside all day long, learn the sage books, and get fame in the future is the right way out!"

"Oh......"

Yin Qing actually hates reading, but he doesn't dare to refute his father.

There were originally places to study in Ning'an County, but most of them were private schools run by old scholars with high knowledge.

In theory, it is only lower than those academies, and the age group of the school is lower, and the age group of the academy is higher.

Yin Zhaoxian, as an orthodox scholar who has achieved a second-class ranking in the state examination, is definitely the number one person among the scholars in the entire Ning'an County, and he feels that it is normal for him to be elected as a school master, and of course he is also proud.

"By the way, what was the panic just now?"

Yin Zhao put down the book and looked at Yin Qing first.

"Oh oh yes, Daddy, there is a new resident in that Ju'an Pavilion over there, and he is a polite and very kind gentleman, but he talks to the ghost inside......"

"Shh!!!h

Mother Yin covered Yin Qing's mouth all of a sudden.

"Can you talk nonsense too?"

Yin Zhaoxian's face is not very good-looking, even if he is quite knowledgeable and knows the ignorance of many villagers, but he is also secretive about Ju'an Xiaoge, it is really too evil in that house.

Then Yin Zhaoxian suddenly reacted to something, stared at his son and asked.

"How do you know?"

"Uh... This one...... Mr. Big's eyes are not good, just over there Shuangjing Putou was splashed with water and the bucket was knocked over, I will, just help him carry water, who knows that he lives in an small pavilion......"

Yin Qing lowered his voice with some fear.

"You're in?"

Yin's mother asked nervously, although it should be no problem to enter the Ju'an Pavilion on a sunny day, but that place is too evil, and Yin Qing is a child with weak anger, so it is impossible for adults not to be nervous.

"No, no, my father and my mother have told me so many times, how dare I go in, I put down the burden at the door, but then after I ran away, I saw the big gentleman talking in one direction outside the courtyard from a distance, and went out with the water into the yard, chatting and talking while walking, as if there was something to follow next to him, and said that it was scary before and after death, I was too scared to run home!"

After speaking, Yin Qing was afraid and curious and asked his father.

"Daddy, do you think it could be that the ghost in the Ju'an Pavilion came out with that big gentleman?"

Yin Zhaoxian also got goosebumps when he heard this, and Yin's mother even covered Yin Qing's mouth again.

"Okay, okay, don't go over there to play in the future, and, this thing... Don't talk nonsense, you know?"

"yes, got it!"

Mother Yin hugged Yin Qing and rubbed his head.

"Xianggong, take Qing'er to the City God Temple to worship the City God, and rush to the bad luck, right?"

In the end, it is about his own son, and Yin Zhaoxian is not pedantic, and some extreme readers are estimated to be sarcastic, but Ju'an Xiaoge is more evil.

"Okay! When lunch is over, I'll take Qing'er to the City God Temple to put incense!"

A few years ago, there was a trembling old mage who mentioned it, saying that the city god of Ning'an County was suppressed, and since that time, the people of Tianniufang have worshiped the city god every New Year's holiday.

。。。

Ji Yuan followed the day parade through half of Ning'an County to the City God Temple in Miaosifang, and after gradually reaching a crowded place, Ji Yuan and the day tour did not talk much anymore.

Until they arrived at the bustling City God Temple, an old man stood in front of an incense and candle stall, and the sun parade hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Lord Chenghuang, Mr. Ji is here!"

Because there were pilgrims and people shuttling around, the old city god only nodded to the parade.

The latter said "Subordinates retire!" and floated away on their own.

Ji Yuan thought that he would go to a relatively hidden place in the temple before the city god would appear, but he didn't expect the city god to appear directly outside the temple in the form of a mortal old man.

He was a little stunned and looked at the city god, but Ji Yuan's half-open eyes couldn't tell whether his eyes were gathered or scattered, which could be described as a real ancient well without waves.

There was also a faint scent of sandalwood on this city god, but it was much lighter than the previous four division chiefs.

And Chenghuang is also observing Ji Yuan, those eyes know that they have been necrotic at a glance, but when this Mr. Ji came, he was no different from ordinary people, and his eyes were blind but there was no sense of turbidity, but there was a trace of plain vastness, he was not a mortal after all!

Observing each other actually lasted only a few seconds, and then the old man was the first to break the peace.

"Song Shichang, the county god of Ning'an County, Mr. Xie Ji, Mr. Gao Yi, help us eradicate the evil things!"

Seeing the old man give his hand, he didn't dare to hold it up, opposite was a county city god, a big man like ghosts and gods, he hurriedly gave it up together, and did it more respectfully than the old man.

"Lord Chenghuang has tormented me, but there are just some small means below, and I happened to help the chiefs of various divisions, it's nothing, it's nothing!!"

"Hehehehe, Mr. Ji is too modest, I know that Mr. Ji must not have had breakfast, and has set up a table of snacks and meals in the building outside the temple, let's go over there and talk, please!"

Ji Yuan also hurriedly stretched out his hand to invite like a city god, and he didn't dare to hold it up at all.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey, please!"

Seeing the lively surroundings of the City God Temple, from time to time there are people in and out of the temple to worship the City God, and the City God is by his side, Ji Yuan will have a higher sense of tension than when he came.

'Relax and relax, don't stiffen your legs ......'

If anyone can look at the clay statue in the temple and come down and chat with you, they can probably understand how Yuan Yuan feels now.
