Today's Chenghuang Temple has long lost the quiet feeling it had at the beginning, except for the annex where Zhang Yixian once left in the backyard, there are pilgrims wandering in every place here, or enjoying the scenery, or coming to the courtyard to receive relief food.

In the past six months, the foundation of the temple has been increasing, and the wealth and population have been growing slowly. The floor area of the temple is also expanding.

Originally, the City God Temple had nothing but a large hall dedicated to the gods, and the money that Zhang Yixian gave to Lao Qin Tou half a year ago gave him the capital to expand the City God Temple, and then recruited refugees, plus the guards of those City God Temple.

At this moment, the scale of the City God Temple is already comparable to the courtyards of some medium-sized families, in addition to the main hall dedicated to the gods in the front, the backyard is a separate garden, and the surrounding open space has been built into houses.

At this moment, the figure of Lao Qin Tou came to the main hall dedicated to the statue again, his body stood very straight, but his eyes looked at the ground and did not dare to look directly at Zhang Yixian's existence.

Old Qin Tou's state at this time was not at all like an old man over fifty years old, but like a young man in his early thirties.

Zhang Yixian's figure walked back and forth in the hall, and he was worried about one thing, that is, his identity.

As a righteous god, he can't appear in front of everyone as a city god, and he must be able to integrate into this group of people with a reasonable identity, and it is not enough for Lao Qin to agree alone.

"Old Qintou, I've worked hard for you in the past six months. Now you tell me more about Zhu Yuanzhang's situation. ”

"Yes. Three months ago, we heard that Fengyang was defeated by the rebel army, and the general of the rebel army also distributed 3,000 stone of grain in the city's granary to the people, and then we heard from those sergeants that their commander was called Zhu Yuanzhang......"

Old Qin Tou told Zhang Yixian all the previous situation word for word.

After listening, Zhang Yixian also felt that although Zhu Yuanzhang's personality was a little elusive, since he was able to distribute the 3,000 stone grain he had worked hard to distribute to the people to survive the famine, he recognized this behavior.

Not to mention that the army led by Zhu Yuanzhang basically did not rob ordinary people, did not commit adultery and plunder, and the discipline of the army had already made him far surpass many rebel armies in the world.

"You did the right thing, although a few thousand stones of grain and a hundred guards are not much, but they can let him see our attitude, at least there is the possibility of cooperation, if Zhu Yuanzhang has difficulties in the future, you will depend on the situation and make your own decisions." ”

"Xie Chenghuang Ye!" Old Qin Tou was happy in his heart, he understood that this was the Chenghuang Lord trusting him and giving him autonomy.

"By the way, my identity can only be known to you, as for the few people last night, forget it, and you must not mention me in front of outsiders in the future. ”

"Yes. ”

Old Qin Tou didn't know why, but he chose to implement it to the letter, although he didn't know why the City God did this, but as long as the City God said it, he would do it.

"Also, you still have to deal with the big and small things in the City God Temple, and I will stay here for a long time in the future, if something like last night happens again, you tell me first. ”

"Yes. ”

"Well, you prepare, half a month later, March 28, go to Mount Tai with me, and now you go to the No. 1 room of the village head restaurant to pick up a nobleman. ”

"Yes. ”

Seeing that Zhang Yixian had no other orders, Lao Qin Tou went to carry it out.

Zhang Yixian was also clean alone, and when he walked out of the hall, the sunlight outside had just revealed a corner, and the sunlight was very good.

In a side courtyard of the City God Temple, hundreds of newly recruited guards in the temple are practicing in the morning, and the field is crowded, and the dust is constantly being rolled up, and the scene is very lively.

As soon as his figure appeared in the courtyard, a figure fell like the wind from a distance.

When he got closer, a young face appeared in front of Zhang Yixian, it was the ghost boy Xiao Ming.

"Recognize me?"

Zhang Yixian spat lightly in his mouth, and the ghost boy Xiao Ming kept nodding, and even his always indifferent face showed a look of joy.

"Let's go. Go and see the changes here. ”

Zhang Yixian was currently walking, and the ghost boy Xiao Ming followed behind him, acting like a child begging for candy.

Curiosity rose in the hearts of everyone who saw this scene, according to some of the "old men" in the temple for more than half a year, this unsightly master could contact one or two except Qin Miaozhu. I've never seen him so quietly behind a person.

Curiosity is curiosity, but no one has fallen behind in the training that should be responsible, and the roar continues to come from the field.

Looking at the City God Temple that has undergone earth-shaking changes in front of him, Zhang Yixian also sighed in his heart, and he was happy to see the thriving scene of the City God Temple that was once full of barren grass.

Here he even saw a few people he had taught in the art of dreaming also instructing others.

Passing through the place where the guards in the temple were boiling, Zhang Yixian came to a place with a large number of people, and when he inquired, he learned that this was a place in the temple specially set up for the distribution of relief food to refugees.

After half a year of precipitation, the first batch of refugees has taken the Chenghuang Temple as their home, and for the later refugees, because they have experienced the torment between life and death, no one has made it difficult for these poor people.

Looking at it along the way, Zhang Yixian was very satisfied with Lao Qintou's ability, and such a difficult situation has developed in his hands, which can be said to be very good.

Half a mile east of the Chenghuang Temple is the first batch of refugees to open up a new home, after half a year of expansion, the village here is a mile around, the fields can see the hard-working people.

Because the Yangtze River was opened up before, water was brought in, and the soil here is fertile, the crops in the field are growing well, and there is no drought trouble, so there will be a good harvest this year.

Unconsciously, Zhang Yixian walked around the City God Temple for more than an hour, and then a guard came to report that the old Qin Tou had already brought the emperor to the moon, and he was at the gate of the City God Temple at the moment, so he asked Zhang Yixian to go.

With the ghost boy Xiao Ming, Zhang Yixian followed the escort path to the gate of the City God Temple, and the figure of Di Yue appeared in front of the temple gate to look around, and when she saw Zhang Yixian coming, she also came forward.

"I'm going to have to let you stay here for a few days, but not for long, a month at most, and if you want to go home, I'll send you back myself. ”

"Good. ”

Di Yue didn't say anything else, and was led inside by a girl called by Lao Qintou.

"Lao Qin, you see if there is any place in the temple that is suitable for Xiao Yue'er, you can arrange it and let you do something to polish the time. ”

"There is still a shortage of people in the temple to distribute relief food, but I am afraid that those vulgar people will disturb the leisure of the nobles. ”

"You send two good men to follow, no accident can happen, and you can take care of the rest. ”

Zhang Yixian took the ghost boy Xiao Ming into the temple again, met with Di Yue, said some words, and went straight to the backyard to start cultivating.

In his heart, he had already decided to participate in the "temple fair" in half a month, and Zhang Yixian did not dare to underestimate this huge force, he was striving to break through to the Mahayana realm.
