Chapter 7 The World Pattern of Ghosts and Gods

On the second day, in the order of the Warehouse.

"Joy is noble and lowly, and courtesy is not humble.

The upper and lower are harmonious, and the husband sings and the wife follows.

Outside the Fu training, into the mother's ceremony.

Aunts and uncles, Judah Bier.

Brother Kong Huai, the same qi and branches.

Friends vote for points, cut and grind the rules ......"

The sound of the children's books sounded again, and the children shook their heads and shook their heads with the husband, intoxicated.

In the academy square, a row of chrysanthemums still stands proudly, but the withered flowers, the stumps all over the ground, and the cold wind all show that it is no longer the era of autumn chrysanthemums.

"The soil flowers can be white and red, and the evening festival can love this work. It is better to hold the incense branches and grow old, than to dance with the yellow leaves in the autumn wind. (Zhu Shuzhen, "Yellow Flower)"

“...... The west wind passed through the garden last night, blowing down the yellow flowers and covering the ground with gold. (Wang Anshi)"

......

A few masters strolled through it, their clothes fluttering, and from time to time they recited poems against each other, complimenting each other.

Among them, there is Tai Yi, relying on a few famous sentences written about chrysanthemums that he knew in his previous life, and made a back-to-back copy, which was in the limelight for a while and became the center of all the masters. Of course, how can the affairs of the traverser be called a copyist.

At this time, it is best to gossip, and Master Chen, who was jokingly called "Bao Inquiring" by a group of masters, interrupted everyone's Yaxing and brought the style of painting to the direction of gossip

"Have you heard? The murder case in the southern suburbs has been solved, and I heard that it was a ghost. ”

"Yesterday, I don't know why, the yamen sent people to guard the scene of the crime, and as a result, they all fell asleep. ”

"This morning, the head of the yamen chased the wind and visited the hotel again, and found that the daughter-in-law of the store had already been transformed, and the nails were an inch long, and the deceased was disemboweled, but the people who guarded the scene last night were all safe and sound, but they fell asleep. Do you know why?"

As soon as he saw "Bao inquired" and stopped talking, relying on his own well-informed to sell Guanzi, all the masters pretended to ignore it.

"Brother Taiyi, look at this autumn chrysanthemum, although it is out of season, the leaves are not falling, and the flowers are not zero. If it weren't for the west wind last night, it would still be standing proudly today. It's really a different kind of style. ”

"What the mountain chief said is reasonable, this Qiu Ju is really noble and proud, and the world is independent."

......

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I don't sell it anymore, you always treat me like this, and you also sing and harmonize, and let me sing a one-man show. Seeing that everyone didn't pay attention to him, Master Chen was speechless for a while, so he had to speak again.

"I can't get used to it, I can't get used to it, you always want to sell it, if it weren't for me and others who are readers, I would have let you know why the flowers are so red. ”

When Chen Fuzi saw that his careful thoughts were exposed, his old face turned red, and he quickly pretended to be nothing.

"Hehe, when the corpse was found by the head chaser, she was already dead and couldn't die anymore, of course, her body was still intact and lifelike. ”

"I heard that there were high-ranking people passing by, scattering the souls trapped in the body, and they were afraid of trouble, so in order not to expose themselves, they stunned those who were guarding. ”

"I've heard that the head of the wind catcher is just a mortal, if it's really a ghost's doing, does he know the way of it?" Tai Yi asked.

"Even if he is a mortal, he is also a mortal who has embarked on the path of cultivation, and I heard that he is friends with our Xinyang Chenghuang, since he dares to say so, then there is still credibility. ”

"Wait, you said that chasing the wind and chasing the head, a mortal, and the ghost god Chenghuang are friends?

"Brother Taiyi has been studying for many years, but he has never seen such a thing?"

"You listen to me about the secret, I don't tell him about ordinary people, look at Brother Taiyi, you are so popular today, I might as well say more, and ......"

......

After listening to Chen Fuzi's call, Taiyi has a deeper understanding of the pattern of this world.

It can be summed up in eight words: "People and ghosts live together, ghosts and gods are rampant." ”

It is said that thousands of years ago, this world was mainly the world of ordinary people, but later, for some reason, demons and monsters gradually increased, until now, ghosts and monsters are rampant, and the prestige of the government and yamen has gradually decreased. Correspondingly, there are city gods in each city to protect one side.

As for the Heavenly Court, it had its legends in ancient times, but with the changes of the years, the gods of the Heavenly Court no longer appeared in the world. Human beings have gradually forgotten the sacrifice to the heavenly court, and there is no record of when the sacrifice to the heavenly court was completely cut off. Only some of the extant ancient books can find a few words of the Ancient Heavenly Court.

In its place is the current prevailing Chenghuang system.

In such a world full of ghosts and gods, if you go out of the city, it is rare to walk at night without seeing ghosts. Of course, most of the time you encounter it is a little ghost, and it is scary at best. Moreover, those who dare to run around the world in this world also have some ability.

But if you see blood, then you can only invite the city god and invite strange people.

Strange people are rare, so in this world, the incense of the City God Temple is very vigorous, and only the Hades Hall of Zhejiang City is above this.

There are many ghosts, and there are many bloody cases caused by ghosts, and in order to maintain order, the yamen arrests people who know how many spells, so as not to have no power to resist.

As for the City God, they are all real, so there are many people who are destined to see the City God and make friends. It's just that most of them are not known to outsiders, and Master Chen, who is nicknamed "Bao Inquire" by everyone, knows the reason, but he generally doesn't talk about it to outsiders.

After knowing that there is a palace of the king of Hades in Zhejiang City, and knowing the direction, Taiyi has a number of the highest power in this world. The creature with the strongest breath who came to investigate his fall that day is estimated to be the king of Hades in this realm, and the cultivation realm is roughly a powerhouse in the true fairy realm. He can establish a city god system to protect this world from being disturbed by demons and monsters, then it means that other creatures in this world should be no more than true immortals. Otherwise, it would be impossible to suppress the other ghosts.

"In other words, my True Immortal Realm can be regarded as a strong person, unless the gap between True Immortals is greater than the gap between True Immortals and mortals, otherwise I can walk sideways. ”

"And without the existence of Heavenly Court, wouldn't it be a powerful wave?"

Thinking of this, Taiyi quietly straightened his waist.

"By the way, in a few days, it will be the day of the Kaicheng God's Temple Fair, and our Xuan Xuan will also be out of school. After Brother Tai Yi came to our Xuan Xu, even if the City God Temple is next to us, he has not yet gone out to shop, if he is interested, our Master Xuan Xuan can go together and take Brother Tai Yi to see the prosperity of our Xinyang City. ”

"Very good, very good, maybe, we went out and were taken by which little lady took a fancy to it, that is also a good story. Or if you can see the real body of the city god, maybe you can make friends!"

"The snacks in the City God Temple are also good, although they are not as good as Brother Tai's craftsmanship, but they also have a unique taste, just take Brother Tai to experience it. ”

...... For a while, everyone's discussion topic was completely deviated.

"Since you are invited, it is better for Tai to be respectful than to obey his orders, and take me to see this Xinyang City. ”

Xinyang City, City God Temple.

A pair of couplets are engraved on both sides of the gate, "good and evil are rewarded in the end, and right and wrong are clear at the bottom", and the city god is like a scholar, holding a fan and sitting. On the left and right, there is a white-faced and black-faced judge sculpture, a pen book, and a sword execution, which is the military judge under the command of the city god. There are also several statues with green faces and fangs, some of them holding killing sticks and some of them holding chains and shackles, which are responsible for monitoring the world day and night, and the gods and ghosts.

Even if it is not the day of the temple fair, there are still people coming and going, traffic, shouting, bargaining, and children crying...... Voices.

But no one noticed that in the City God Temple, there was a scholar sitting at the top, and there were several ghosts with green faces and fangs kneeling underneath, which was this City God.

"Your Excellency, I have investigated the bloody case in the southern suburbs, and it was indeed the daughter-in-law of the family who committed the corpse, as for why the corpse changed, please forgive my subordinates for being incompetent and unable to find out. ”

"As for the person who solved the case, we can't find out. ”

"Please forgive ...... sins"

The city god held his hands and said, "That's it, I don't blame you for this matter, I have also been to the scene, but I still haven't found any clues, which means that the person who came is far above you and me, but judging from the fact that he solved the corpse mutiny, he should not be considered a wicked person." But everyone still has to be careful, strengthen their guards, it is best to find clues, and don't anger the master if they can't find it, at least he has not shown malicious intent at present. ”

"Your Majesty, you said, could that master have something to do with the Twin Moon Volleys a few days ago? Your Majesty sent a message to ask me to pay attention to the search, but after so long, even those ghosts and ghosts have given up. Could it be that he saw the situation?" It was the judge of this City God Temple who spoke, and he had always been known as a "think tank".
