Chapter 1: The Dilemma

Next Chapter

As the night gets darker, the streets of the bustling city of Anshi are gradually lit up with night lights.

The modern high-rise buildings are also lit up early, and the city at night is immersed in a happy and glorious scene.

Anshi is just an ordinary small city in the south, and it is a bit of an exaggeration to call him a second- or third-tier city, of course, although Anshi is far from being a real international metropolis like the God Capital and the Demon Capital, but based on the rich Jiangnan area, his economy is not bad, and it is not a problem to feed at least eight million people in the city.

A remote corner of Anshi, deeply immersed in the night, is undoubtedly an anomaly compared to the rest of Anshi, where the bright lights never come on, as if it were a forgotten corner of the city.

This is the old town of Anshi, which is the original birthplace of Anshi, the infrastructure is not good enough, and then the development of Anshi, the government did not choose to redevelop, because whether it is the basic circuit, hardware construction, or the demolition of the old city, it is a burden that the city government cannot afford.

Instead of spending a lot of effort to renovate the old city, it is better to build a new city from scratch, the new city is cheap, and it is not easy to involve the rest of the social contradictions, saving too much time and effort.

The times are developing, the world is changing with each passing day, and the residents of the old city have moved away one after another.

Over time, due to the neglect of the world, intentionally or unintentionally, the old town was slowly forgotten by the entire city of An.

The core location of the old city is an old city god temple, the main god of the worship is the head of the city god of the city of Anshi, and the rest of the side halls are the subordinate officials of the city god team.

In today's era, people's reverence for ghosts and gods has long ceased to exist, even if people want to burn incense and worship Buddha, they go to those temples and churches, and the Taoist gods in China are in an extremely embarrassing position.

There is very little incense in the City God Temple, and most of the people who come to worship are the old people living in the old city, so naturally there is not much money left to repair the City God Temple.

This city god temple covers an area of not small, there is a main hall, more than 10 side halls, it is rumored that hundreds of years ago, a feudal official was trapped by the evil demon can not sleep at night, by the help of the city god to get out of trouble, the feudal official is grateful, paid out of his own pocket to build this city god temple, since then the city god temple incense has always been prosperous, but also has become the landmark building of Anshi.

A few decades ago, when Anshi had not really developed, the City God Temple could be regarded as the most generous building in the entire Anshi.

Of course, now because of the ups and downs of the times, it is inevitable that it is still going into decline.

In the backyard of the City God Temple, a young man was keeping accounts, and after rummaging through all the passbooks, bank cards, and mobile phone balances, he collapsed weakly on the recliner, "There are only more than 1,000 yuan left, and these money are enough for two months' living expenses at most. ”

The City God Temple doesn't even have the money to buy incense and candles, it's a joke to spread it, as a temple, there is not even incense wax, do you still have to hope that the believers will bring their own?

It's a pity, no matter how much headache he has, it is indeed a fact that there is only so much left in his entire net worth.

"Old man, old man, you used to cry poor with me, and I didn't take it seriously, but now I know that we have been poor to this point. The young man muttered with a faded face.

The young man's name is Chen Ming, and he is the only temple in this City God Temple, and the old man in his mouth is his grandfather, and he is also the last temple Zhu of this City God Temple.

Chen Ming is an orphan, just a few months after he was born was thrown at the door of the City God Temple, the old man was a lonely man, no children and no daughters, for a moment of kindness, he hugged Chen Ming in, as a grandson to raise.

Although the old man guards the huge City God Temple, it is a pity that the prestige of the City God is no longer a hundred years ago, and scientific thought is rampant, that is, the old lady on the side of the road can recite two sentences of cows, ghosts, snakes, gods, and feudal superstitions. The old man grows vegetables in the backyard every day to be self-sufficient, and writes a good hand, mixing the name of a member of the Anshi Calligraphers Association, and reluctantly taking the subsidy to send Chen Ming to college.

It's a pity that Chen Ming just graduated from college a year ago, and it's only been half a year, Chen Ming hasn't found a job yet, so the old man can't hold on to go to the west.

The old man is gone, and his only relative is gone. Chen Ming was naturally very sad, but he had to continue after crying, he did the Dharma for the old man, and he went down to the spirit, and the original little continuation was squeezed dry all at once.

After more than a month, Chen Ming finally came out of the shadow of the old man's death, and the first thing he did after that was to count the remaining money on his body and see how he would live next.

As a result, it is exactly what I said before.

"What should I do?" Chen Ming squeezed his head in distress, of course, the top priority is to make money, what is the use of this more than 1,000 yuan, even in a second- or third-tier city like Anshi, it will be enough to have a kitchen at home for more than a month.

And it's just the money for food, and you can't buy anything else.

Of course, Chen Ming is not without the ability to make money, he is also a graduate of 985 College, it is not difficult to find a job with a good salary, and in modern society, as long as you are willing to work, how can you starve to death.

What made Chen Ming in a dilemma was the City God Temple he was stepping on. The City God Temple is the heart and mind of the old man for a lifetime, although many people in Anshi can't remember that there is such a City God Temple, but this is indeed the old man's belief.

Until he died, the old man was still telling him to hold up the City God Temple.

Chen Ming is now also a college student who has just been born in society, and his salary is not enough to support himself, and at the same time, he will hire a temple to maintain the City God Temple, after all, although the City God Temple is old, but the daily expenses are not a small amount.

Therefore, Chen Ming is now in a dilemma, should he follow the old man's will and maintain the City God Temple? or close the City God Temple to run towards a bright and magnificent future?

When reality and emotion conflicted, Chen Ming was really entangled for a while. From an intellectual point of view, abandoning the burden of the City God Temple is a choice that anyone will make, but the old man has just left, if Chen Ming does this, he will not be able to pass the level in his heart.

At this moment, in the sky that had completely darkened, a meteor suddenly crossed by, a meteor was nothing unusual, the strange thing was that it had just gone halfway, but it seemed to have entered a parallel space, and disappeared directly.

This scene was silent, no one noticed, not even the staff of the observatory and the space station, it was just a meteorite infinitely far away, and no one noticed its abnormality.
