Chapter 106: City God Jia Gu
Although the things are strange, the price set by Ji Nineteen for everything is not low, and it is often hundreds of taels of silver a piece. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This made the neighbors who wanted to give this new neighbor some popularity had to be discouraged, although your things are rare, but your piece of wood or some gadgets will be worth hundreds of times, and these budget-conscious bosses are not worth it.
The shopkeeper and the two guys were sad, but Ji 19 and Jia Gongzi, who were the proprietors, were like no one else, smiling all day long, eating and drinking, and going out to visit everywhere every once in a while.
In the month since it opened, not a single thing has been sold, but the food in Shangjing is almost the same, and the major scenic spots and scenic spots have also left the figure of three people.
On the first day of another summer month, Ji Nineteen and Jia Gongzi came to the City God Temple in the backstreet to offer incense, originally Ji Nineteen didn't want to come, but was dragged by Jia Gongzi.
Jia Gongzi also said mysteriously that every fifteenth day of the new year, there are those ladies who come to burn incense and wish or something, so that Ji Nineteen can come to see for a long time and appreciate the beauties in Beijing.
Uh, is the dignified boy in white such a person in your eyes? I haven't seen this boy treat you like a girl like a flower for so long. Ji Nineteen rolled his eyes and slandered.
Unable to stand the other party's stubborn fighting, the three of them dragged into the small City God Temple.
There are many city god temples in the major cities of Daqi, generally a small city of less than 10,000 people is allowed to build one, between more than 10,000 people and 100,000 people, there are four city gods in the east, west, north, south and middle, and the big city of more than 100,000 will build temples according to the area, there is no limit on the number, and the city god in a giant city like Shangjing is even more unknown.
However, there are strict rules for the city gods, which are generally the late local generals who can fight well in this dynasty, the famous good people and celebrities in the vicinity in history, and a few dignitaries and dignitaries whose ancestral homes have passed away in this dynasty, in short, they are all figures who have made considerable contributions to the local area or Daqi, and there is absolutely no half of the demons.
Ji 19: The city god they want to worship today is a master in the back street of the former residence. It is said that a master is not so famous, but this master is not simple, there are many disciples in his life, there are many members of the previous dynasty, as well as many dignitaries when the dynasty was founded, and there are some intersections with the founding king, and he got infinite mourning after his death, not only the body was buried but also was enshrined as a city god by the imperial court, and enjoyed a party of incense.
According to neighbors, it is quite effective, and the incense is even more prosperous.
No, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the whole city god temple is full of incense, and there are countless people who offer incense, and the huge incense burner in the middle of the temple has already been filled with burning incense.
The incense here is different from the earth, there is no distinction between high and low, all of them are two feet long, the thickness of chopsticks, and the incense candle is also the prescribed thumb thickness of one foot long, and there is no super huge variety of earth temples or strange private customization.
As for the incense money, it is even more certain, whether these city gods are in Shangjing or withered small cities, they are not allowed to accept donations of more than ten taels of silver every month, and it is said that Daqi has also set up a special department to manage such expenses.
Don't worry about being deceived, of course, these departments involving ghosts and spirits are supervised and managed by monks with magical powers.
Jia Gongzi and the two finished worshipping the incense, it was Ji Nineteen's turn, the three pillars of incense had just been lit, Ji Nineteen bent over and arched with incense according to the rules, and the statue of the old man who looked like an ordinary master in the City God Temple suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the elegant and very thin old man hurriedly bowed to Ji Nineteen.
And with another flash of inspiration, the magic power was used: "Xiaoyou has tormented the little old man, you can often come and walk around as a real person who builds the foundation, but don't worship incense anymore, there is a violation of the law, so that the little old man is embarrassed." ”
"Well, the kid is new to the city, and I don't know there are such rules, sorry. Ji Nineteen said in surprise.
"It's okay, why don't you invite a little friend into the temple to talk about it?" said the old man with a smile in the divine light.
"If you dare to disobey your orders, please do you. Ji Nineteen strode happily.
At this time, the people who worshiped incense only noticed that the divine light of the idol flashed again, and they knew that it was the city god who appeared. The sharp-eyed temple Zhu had already discovered that today's idol had flashed several times in a row, and this kind of phenomenon would only occur when those immortal cultivators arrived. I don't know if the last time was a few years ago, the middle-aged temple Zhu looked at the white-clothed man who entered in awe, and hurriedly invited him to enter the quiet room behind the temple.
Why you say that he can be more sensitive than ordinary people, it is because he is the temple blessing of this temple, and he is born with the power of intimacy with the gods here, otherwise he would not have been elected as the temple blessing.
Ji Nineteen was also not polite, bowed his head in response, and followed him to the quiet room.
Miao Zhu made a pot of tea, respectfully retreated, and suddenly the divine light was bright, and an old man's phantom appeared on the main seat and sat down.
After exchanging pleasantries with each other, there was no topic to talk about, and Ji Shijiu hurriedly asked about some anecdotes from the surrounding dynasties in order not to be cold.
The master was talkative, perhaps with few friends, but he talked about all kinds of interesting things from the previous dynasty, and even told the young Taoists about the interesting things he had experienced in his life one by one. The sound and affection were glorious, which opened the eyes of Ji 19.
It turned out that the master's surname was Jia Minggu, who was originally a person from the front street of the previous dynasty, because of his weak nature, he did not want to become an official, and after traveling to the nearby countries forty years ago, he devoted himself to writing books and talking at home, and at the same time opened a private school to teach some children in the neighborhood.
All children who are willing to come to study, regardless of whether they are high or low, whether they are men or women, are treated equally, and in the course of decades of teaching, his disciples have produced many high-ranking officials of the former dynasty and dignitaries of the new dynasty, and they are well-known in Beijing.
In the case of repeatedly refusing the previous dynasty and the new dynasty king's invitation to join the government, his reputation grew, and finally he died at the age of one hundred and two, and after his death, he was able to be enshrined as a local city god and held an incense stick.
The master has seen countless people who are powerful and powerful, and after entering the Divine Dao, he has intersected a lot with immortal cultivators, but Ji Shijiu gives him a feeling that is a little different from these people, but he can't say what the difference is.
is an old and refined character, after knocking on the side, Ji Shijiu also cares about his sensitive information, and the master is also unclear after analyzing the ambiguous answer, and does not prevent the other party from being disgusted, so he simply does not ask the bottom of it.
talked lightly: "Why is Xiaoyou incense, is there something on your mind?"
This can be regarded as a question, Ji Shijiu does not hide this point, and says that he wants to make friends with some dignitaries, preferably some young ladies or something.
It's not that he doesn't want to directly establish contact with dignitaries, first, he underestimates Chenghuang's strength, fearing that he won't be able to do what he wants, and second, he doesn't want to have too deep intersections with the powerful when he first arrives.
This made the master misunderstood, and he begged: "It turns out that it is also a vulgar thing, and I want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix." However, since there is a fragrant friendship, and there is a fate to talk about it here, and there is a store in his own jurisdiction, it is not impossible to simply help him match. ”
This person was a warm-hearted person when he was alive, otherwise he would not have such a reputation, whether it was a dignitary or a common person, he received a lot of favors from him, and after becoming a god, his temperament did not change, and his apparitions were quite frequent.
"For such a trivial matter, Xiaoyou will hand it over to Xiao Lao'er, Bao Jun is satisfied. "The master took care of everything, and then talked about some homely things.
Ji Nineteen rarely encountered such a refreshing character, I thought that this god was just talking casually, and I didn't doubt him, after all, Su Wei Pingsheng, so easy to help, most of them were just talking, and then chatted with him about a little cultivation experience and resigned.
