Ji Yuan understands that he is asking a stupid question, but it is something that must be clarified sooner or later, and anyone is asked.

It's just that this old city god is inexplicably respectful, this is a very subtle feeling, it seems that the old city god is not as casual as just now.

The old city god is very organized to tell some of the history he knows, mixed with some of the country's wild history of various dynasties and generations, as well as some mountains and rivers around the terroir, and also intentionally added some understanding of the change of place names.

Different from the confusion of fairy things before, this narrative obviously gave Ji Yuan a clearer understanding of this world, at least at the mortal level, and the understanding became much more intuitive and clear.

Now the country is vast, a total of 13 states, this dynasty after 200 years of standing upright, has been passed to the eighth generation of Emperor Qianwu, the previous experience of Wu, Tong, Chu, Kuang and other 9 dynasties, and then a part of the territory of a huge dynasty.

The old man paused for a moment before speaking.

According to historical records, that great dynasty was called Great Zhou. ”

"Da Zhou?"

Ji Yuan was obviously in good spirits, but he smiled and smiled, this so-called Great Zhou is not the same as he imagined, from the geography of mountains and rivers to historical changes.

The old city god nodded his beard.

"Yes, but this government and the opposition are too old, and the changes in the world are difficult to describe even for the generations of our people, and the world is even more indescribable in words, not to mention that there is a sky outside the sky, and everything is difficult to know!"

Ji Yuan also nodded in agreement.

"What Lord Chenghuang said is very true!"

From the exchange just now, I learned that the position of Chenghuang is the most entangled god in the world, and it is also the most frequent.

Taking Ning'an County as an example, the previous generation of Ning'an County Chenghuang was still a surnamed Li, and later came to the current dynasty to overthrow the old system, and Ning'an County produced a Song Shichang who was an official in the dynasty, and after the death of the Song Dynasty, the emperor posthumously sealed it, and designated it as the city god of Ning'an County, and ordered local officials to build temples and repair shrines.

As for the original old city god, if he cultivates deeply, he can fortunately have another way out, but if he can't cultivate himself, he can only lose the power of incense a little bit, and it is possible for him to dissipate if he does not advance and retreat.

This is not to say that the emperor in this world has the power to seal the law with his words, and in the end, it is only the incense sacrifice to the people's wishes that determines all this.

Of course, it is normal that many city gods have not changed after several dynasties, one is that the emperor of the world is not so empty, that is, a way to posthumously seal the meritorious minister, and the other is that the emperor of the world does not understand this strange thing at all.

Even so, the city god in the world and the dynasty where they are located are both prosperous and lossy, although the yin and yang are separated, but most of the city gods will try their best to protect the people on the land and water, to avoid evil and chaos.

After all, those who can be sealed down, whether it is the emperor's edict or the people's recommendation to build temples, most of them are famous and are expected to be virtuous, and they are also related to their own cultivation.

But just as the officials of the Yang World can't take care of everything, the city god can't check all the monsters and evil things, not to mention that it is sometimes difficult to compete.

Interestingly, although the relationship between Chenghuang and the dynasty is close, he is not the emperor's courtier after all, and the yin and yang are separated, so he does not mess with others at all.

To put it bluntly, even if they are powerful people in the dynasty, the vast majority of them are just mortals, and they can't see ghosts and gods, and their power can't break the yin and yang.

......

Ji Yuan and the old city god chatted and drank tea on the third floor of the temple building, and also enjoyed the scenery outside the building.

Ji Yuan got a lot of key information, and the old city god consciously also had a certain understanding of this Mr. Ji, and the conversation was almost the same that day.

Originally, the old city god suggested that Ji Yuan have lunch in the outer building of the temple, but while eating and chatting, this table of snacks and pastries was eaten until noon, and there was no feeling of wanting to eat lunch at all.

Naturally, the two were ready to separate when they left the outer building of the temple.

"Lord Chenghuang, thank you for your hospitality today!"

"Where is Mr. Ji, Mr. coming here to live here is also the blessing of my Ning'an County, the books that Mr. needs will be sent to Ju'an Xiaoge as soon as possible, please rest assured!"

"Thank you, Lord Chenghuang!"

"Okay, then we'll talk about it another day, and we'll say goodbye today!"

The old city god had already bowed his hand slightly to Ji Yuan as he spoke, and Ji Yuan also bowed goodbye to him.

"We'll talk about it another day!"

After saluting each other and nodding, the old city god walked towards the city god temple with a free gait, and Ji Yuan watched the old city god go halfway before turning around and going home with a smile.

Although the City God Temple is a lively place, the temple fair is at night, and he doesn't need to go to the incense, so it is only right to go home and brush his teeth and wait for the book to come to the door.

I don't know if the book sent by Chenghuang will be a little special, can I see it directly with my eyes that are almost as blind as I am, if not, I have to find someone to read it, or ask Chenghuang to ask a messenger to help. ’

At the mouth of an alley not far away, Yin Zhaoxian was about to take Yin Qing's hand and walk out, but Yin Qing suddenly held his father's hand and didn't leave.

Yin Zhaoxian felt that he was being dragged by his son, and turned his head to look at Yin Qing with a frown.

"What's wrong?"

"Daddy... Over there, that big gentleman is over there!!"

Mr. Big?

Yin Zhao first looked at the direction of the temple building pointed by his son, he didn't know which one the so-called big man was, but the attention of his eyes was immediately attracted by Ji Yuan and the old city god, and the demeanor of these two people was like standing out from the crowd.

"Qing'er, which one is the big gentleman you said? Have you seen it clearly, don't admit it. ”

"The one in the green robe, and the one that the old gentleman gave up! I can see it clearly, and I will never admit it!"

Yin Qing was behind his father, revealing his head and looking out of the alley, looking at both Ji Yuan and the old man.

Yin Zhao first looked at the two people outside the temple building, they were already separated, one was in the direction of the City God Temple, and the other was leaving from the other road, which seemed normal, but since the son was very afraid of being a father, he would still take care of his son's feelings.

"Okay, let's go, let's go to the City God Temple!"

"Hmm!"

Yin Zhaoxian sighed, and now he suddenly felt that maybe his son was also dazzled before, the two of them were very faceless, but they were very generous, no matter how they looked at it, they didn't look like Yin and Yin Measurements.

"Who is this old man, I should know all the people with heads and faces in Ning'an County, is it also a foreigner?"

Holding Yin Qing's hand out of the alley, he went to the City God Temple, and the old man in the ink robe who parted with Ji Yuan could still be seen in the sight of the father and son.

The father and son were in a delicate state of mind, and their steps quickened slightly, as if they were getting closer to the old gentleman.

"Sell incense, good sandalwood!!Enter the temple to worship the city god, pay tribute to the three incense, sell good sandalwood!!"

There are vendors at the entrance of the temple shouting and selling sandalwood.

"Bring me three sticks of incense. ”

"Okay, give it, be careful not to break it!"

Yin Zhao first gave the vendor a penny, from paying the bill to collecting the incense, his eyes were mainly staring at the old man in front of him, and after receiving the incense, he took Yin Qing to the temple.

"Hmm, gone, Qing'er, did you just see where he went?"

"No, I haven't seen it since I entered the temple... Daddy, could it be a ghost..."

"What nonsense! This is the City God Temple!"

Yin Zhaoxian severely criticized Yin Qing, and then pulled him to the main hall, this city god temple is not big, the front hall is the city god division, the main hall is where the city god is, maybe the old man went directly to the main hall.

But after passing through the front hall, I didn't see the old man either, the people who came and went to burn incense and worship the city god were not small but not many, so I didn't see anyone, I looked at the back door on the side of the temple corner, the two wooden doors were closed, it didn't look like someone went out, and it was the residence of the temple Zhu, and it would not let people go casually.

'That's weird......

Even in the City God Temple, Yin Zhaoxian was a little psychologically hairy.

"Qing'er, let's worship Master Chenghuang!"

Yin Zhaoxian threw away the cranky thoughts in his heart, took Yin Qing into the main hall, and lit the sandalwood with incense and candles from the temple.

First, sandalwood was planted on the incense burner mountain, and then the father and son knelt on the cushion and prayed devoutly.

After worshipping the city god, when Yin Zhao got up to leave, he found that Yin Qing was still kneeling there, staring at the clay sculpture of the city god in a daze.

"What's wrong, Qing'er?"

"Daddy... It's like......"

Yin Qing said in a low voice.
