Chapter 62 In the Temple of the City God
When Ling Su came back to his senses, he saw Yu Ling lying beside him, this little guy was familiar with Ling Su, even if he appeared, Ling Su's spiritual sense would not warn Ling Su and let Ling Su wake up from his cultivation in time, but it seemed that he noticed that Ling Su's cultivation was over, and Yu Ling jumped directly into Ling Su's arms, and gently put his head against Ling Su's chin.

"You're back, how about it, are you having fun outside, it seems that this beast in the mountains has been plagued by you again, right?" Ling Su smiled and touched the smooth fur on Yu Ling's body, and said with a smile.
Seeing Ling Su slandering himself, Yu Ling immediately lightly bit Ling Su to express his dissatisfaction, Ling Su looked out the window with a smile, and looked at the sky outside the window, it was already night, but he knew that this was definitely not the night of the day he started cultivating, judging from the astrological signs, several large star positions had shifted, and by calculation, the time had passed at least four or five days.
"Chenghuang Jun invited Xu Gongzi to the mansion to talk about it. There was a loud shout outside the house, which immediately alarmed Ling Su, but there was no anger in his heart, because he knew that he had broken the appointment, making his family wait for four or five days.
Getting up and pushing the window, a carriage stopped outside the door, and a ghost pawn with a blue face and fangs was standing respectfully in front of the car. There was silence all around, and the servants everywhere were not alarmed, and his loud shout seemed to be heard only by Ling Su.
Looking up at the sky again, the moon is clear and cloudy, the moonlight is sprinkled on the ground, if there is frost and snow, it is a good day for night travel.
"Childe, please get in the car. Feeling Ling Su's indifferent bearing, the ghost pawn couldn't help but lean lower, he seemed to be able to understand the reason for his family's respect.
The carriage was formed by magic, Ling Su sat on it, the ghost pawn whispered a few words in the horse's ear, and then sat down in the driver's seat, the horse nodded, and then let out a long neigh, pulling the carriage into the air, skimming the treetops and flying towards the City God Temple.
Along the way, he passed through the streets of Hangzhou Mansion, but Ling Su saw a lot of black shadows wandering on the streets, some of these black shadows were bruised and swollen, some had broken necks and drooping heads, and some were covered in blood. There is also the ghost who has been turned into a ghost for too long and has not been seen again. One by one, they wandered around, occasionally making a strange scream. It's shocking to hear.
Ling Su looked at those wandering ghosts and frowned secretly, and said in his heart: "Now that the war in the Great Xia Dynasty has stopped for more than forty years, and now that the world is becoming more and more stable, why are there so many unjust souls in this Hangzhou city?"
The ghost is actually terrified in his heart, how can the ghosts and ghosts in Hangzhou City come out, but when he looked up at the sky, he confirmed that today is the full moon, and it is also the peak time of the yin qi of every month.
The carriage stopped in front of the City God Temple, Ling Su walked straight in, Zhao Wen greeted him with a smile on his face, and arched his hand: "Please forgive me late at night, and please sit down." ”
The two of them sat down, and the waiter had already served tea, which was fragrant and fragrant, not as good as ordinary products. But Ling Su picked up the tea bowl and took a sip lightly, before his gaze moved to the group of ghosts in Hangzhou Mansion and said, "Chenghuang is judging yin, isn't this the king's office? Why don't you care?"
Ling Su's words were quite polite, if it was changed to modern times, it would be equivalent to asking in front of a leader: "Isn't this what you should be in charge of? Why are you watching it like this now?"
But Zhao Wen didn't care, if the cultivator kept the mortal etiquette, he would feel strange!
"Do you know when there are the most demons?"
"But in times of war?"
"Exactly, Shenzhou Lu is sinking, the beacon smoke is everywhere, the resentment and murderous spirit are soaring into the sky, and it is difficult to resolve it even if you use immortal means. But then there is this peaceful and prosperous era. ”
"Taiping and prosperous times?" Ling Su understood after thinking about it, the era when the general folk customs are the best is the era of turning from chaos to rule and recuperation. often pass down the virtue of not leaving a trail behind and never closing the door at night. And when it comes to the peaceful and prosperous era, there are countless people who have died unexplained.
Now it is only thirty or forty years since the uprising and war set off by Li Qunzhong and others, but after this troubled era, the Great Xia Dynasty still exists, land annexation, family arrogance and other problems have not been solved, although the current Son of Heaven is diligent, can be called a genius in the sky, and has begun to reform, but this kind of thing can not be reversed in one or two decades, and there are still many kinds of accumulated shortcomings that have not been solved.
"Originally, these ordinary ghosts will go directly into reincarnation, but they die with hatred like this, and the ghosts with great resentment will stay in the world, and there are not many people under my command who can take them down. Zhao Wen wanted to speak and stopped, his city god is not as beautiful as it seems, but the pain in it is difficult to explain to people.
"Aren't there Yin Soldiers?" Ling Su asked.
"I'm just a city god, just like the government in this yang world, I only have some catchers and servants, but with these, can I make there be no bandits in the governance?"
Ling Su thoughtfully, there are difficulties in the yang world, and there are difficulties in the underworld, since this city god has difficulties, he must have something to ask, Ling Su said: "Jun has repeatedly invited, presumably there must be something to please, the last time I got the favor of the king, I haven't had time to report, as far as I can say, I will do my best." ”
Receiving favors from others must be done as soon as possible, this is what Ling Su is thinking about now, as a cultivator, this cause and effect only says that although you can't care too much, you can't not care about it at all, otherwise, when the cultivation reaches a certain level, the cause and effect will not be early, but the cultivation is afraid that you will not be able to go further.
Zhao Wen knew that it was better to tell Ling Su and others directly, but it would save each other's trouble. simply confessed and described his difficulties.
It turned out that he was an ordinary rich family during his lifetime, but he had accumulated virtue and done good deeds all his life, and after his death, Yan Jun allowed him to be reincarnated in a rich and noble family, and he was unwilling to devote himself to reincarnation.
It's just that he is not the material to be an official, but he still has some sense of responsibility, he has lasted for more than ten years, and he is tired and tired all day long to deal with official business, but he feels that he is more tired than alive, and he went to beg Yan Jun a few days ago, wanting to step down from the post of this city god, Yan Jun was angry and repeated, scolded him, and drove him back.
Zhao Wen is actually very helpless, the four ghosts under him are all martial artists, and none of them can help him solve the case, even if he himself is groping. There are 365 days a year, and there is not even a holiday, so how can you not complain. It might be nice to have a beautiful little secretary, but the four around him are all extremely ugly men who can lose all motivation to work at a glance. It is not easy to persist in working in this harsh environment for more than ten years.
It's just that no matter what, the work of this city god always has to be done, but when he encounters this kind of world, he is only barely supporting, but now he has encountered a difficult thing, that is, a courtyard in Hangzhou Mansion, where Chang Guogong was located in the past.
Eight years ago, this Chang Guogong opposed the current emperor's policy of collecting taxes from those big businessmen who were doing business, and what did he say about competing with the people for profit, and in the end, he even prepared money, food, and weapons to gather people to rebel, but the emperor destroyed the whole door by thunder, and hundreds of people in the Chang Guogong family were killed, and the resentment did not disperse, among which Chang Guogong was even more resentful.
It didn't take long for this Chang Guogong to gradually get bigger, and now they are all beginning to devour and extract those powerful ghosts and ghosts in Hangzhou Mansion, and his subordinates have also gathered a lot of evil ghosts, I am afraid that in a few months, he will become the new ghost king, this Zhao Wen is now also unable to take that Chang Guogong, just the day before yesterday, he saw Ling Su passing by the sword, and he wanted to ask Ling Su for help.
