Volume 1 Chapter 146 Buying the City Gate
This city gate is more than a zhang high, more than half a zhang wide, one and a half feet thick, I don't know what wood is made, the door is inlaid with gold-painted iron beads, there is a lion head knocker on the side, but the gold is about to fall off, the red paint has also been darkened, it is very dilapidated.
The five men stopped, looked at it, knocked on the door and called, but saw no response.
"Looks like you're mistaken. Ah Man sneered.
Xie Lingyun took out the cornucopia to explore, the aura is strong, it is not a mortal thing, now everyone knows that it must be weird, why don't you speak?
"Brother Chengmen, we have no ill intentions, we are just curious, and we want to get acquainted with you. After a bow, he pressed his palm on the door, silently sensitized, partial yang fire, unable to meditate, let the highest sexual skills and good at psychic Miao, after a while, Yu Miao said: "There is really a demon soul inside, but it ignores us, it seems to be inaudible." ”
Ah Man said suspiciously: "It's also deaf?" Chun'er said: "Childe, could it be that it has just opened its spirit and can't speak?" Youqi shook his head: "We shouted directly with divine light, and it shouldn't either." ”
"Maybe it's because of the back of the ear. Xie Lingyun picked up his luck and shouted towards the city gate: "Hey, hey, hey"
The city gate did not react, but the soldiers on the river and the city tower reacted, shouting: "Who of you, dare to come and make trouble" Ah Man stepped on the ground and splashed mud, and there was a deep earth pit, and they were all silent at once, and they did not dare to look more.
Xie Lingyun continued to shout, and when he was inadvertently facing the door knocker, he suddenly heard the sound of the urn and said angrily: "Call the door?"
"It's really a refinement" The four girls couldn't help but be surprised, Xie Lingyun smiled, sure enough, he was not dazzled, he made it clear the meaning of friendship, and the city gate immediately revealed the face, those iron beads composed of eyes and mouth, the lion's head was the nose, and the door knocker seemed to be wearing a nose ring, which made everyone very surprised
"Brother Chengmen, how long have you been a jing?" Xie Lingyun asked.
The city gate didn't understand: "What is Chengjing?" He was speechless for a while, and after thinking for a while, he said: "It's you who have become you, no longer like the door on the left." The city gate was still puzzled: "What are you, the gate is here every day, watching people come and go." ”
Everyone looked at each other, and already knew that it had just opened the spirit, not only was it not high, but it was also like a newborn baby who didn't understand the world, which was strange, and they all knew how to speak human language, and there were too many wonderful things in the world.
"This is a strange news in the world, right?" Ah Man still found it difficult to accept, mainly because birds don't here, she sighed leisurely: "The city gate of Jinling has not become a jing, but it was touched by this fool." ”
Youqi leaped and said: "Lord, this is indeed very rare, even in the demonic southern Xinjiang, there is no city gate to become a spirit." Yu Miao nodded and agreed: "It must not have been open for a long time, and it usually doesn't show its face, so no one notices, otherwise it will be robbed by someone." Today, the Lord is just burning with fire, but he sees something that others can't see. ”
Chun'er said with a happy face: "Childe, aren't we going to build a Shifang Courtyard?"
"Well, that's what I mean. Xie Lingyun smiled happily, it was so rare, how could he miss it, and he felt that it had a lot to do, not to mention what unique magical power it could have, such a large piece, as long as it cultivated itself indestructible, wouldn't it just be able to be the shield of the Gan giant?
He looked at the darkness in front of him, explained the power of the city gate, and invited it to go with him.
The city gate didn't seem to understand, and only asked, "Do you want to make the gate?"
"Hey, it doesn't understand, what's the wordy" Ah Man rolled up his sleeves impatiently and clenched his fists, "Let's just take it off and take it away." ”
"Don't be reckless, then we will become thieves, the people of Gaoliang will be frightened, and the government will report to the court. ”
Of course Xie Lingyun refused, no matter the morality or the consequences, the characteristics of the five of them were too easy to identify, and they could spread it at once, and they would inevitably chase them to Jinling in the future, he said: "Let's go to the government to ask, just spend money to buy this pair of city gates, the city gates are so dilapidated, just replace them with a new one."
Asked the city gate to change back to its original state, and told it not to be silent for the time being, and I don't know if it understood, and the five of them walked into Gaoliang City.
The streets in the city are all dirt roads, most of the buildings on both sides are only one story high, the shops are scarce, there are not many pedestrians, they walked for a long time to come to a rare pharmacy in the city, bought several catties of Coptis chinensis, Xie Lingyun ate a piece of fruit on the spot, so bitter that the whole person almost fainted.
However, Coptis is worthy of being the medicine of the great cold, and the power of a piece will make the fire subside a little, and when he has vision, he can also hear the voice, but it is more than the back of his ears, and Ah Man's roar sounds like a gentle whisper.
Then the five of them went to the official yamen and successfully met Hu Wei, the county guard of Gaoliang County.
Hearing their intentions, Hu Junshou was puzzled, but he was very happy, in the four city gates, the north gate facing the Jingshi is the most important, it is the gateway of a city, it is good to be able to change the new way, but also because of this, the change of the city gate is a big matter, can not mess around, this matter must be burned to the city god to tell the city god, there is a good answer, with the consent of the city god god, you can change the door.
As soon as he heard about the many rituals, sacrifices and blood food, Xie Lingyun's head was big, and Ah Man scolded: "You are called Hu Wei, you don't dare to be the master of this"
"The name of the petty official is Wei Ran. Hu Junshou first clarified, and then said with a wry smile: "The five distinguished guests don't know, the city god here is very vicious, almost a bully on one side, and sometimes there are bullies who bully the people, if you don't inform him, you don't know what is going to happen to Lu Dao, and the petty official has to be cautious." ”
Xie Lingyun, Chun'er and Ah Man suddenly remembered the Chenghuang of the South China Sea, another declining official After the last time, he has really lost some respect for the Chenghuang God now, after all, they have to be in a hurry, and they are on fire, so they said that they will go to the Chenghuang themselves to ask and see how fierce it can be
Zhilu said that they are monks, and they may also have the ability to be immortals, Hu Junshou is self-sufficient, as long as the city god nods, he will change it immediately.
Recently, for the second time to deal with the god of the city god of a county, under the tie of the official, the five people soon came to the city god temple in the north of the city, although it is poorer here, this temple is more spacious than the South China Sea, the incense burner has a lot of incense, but the pottery statue is also the appearance of the city god.
"Please come out and see the god of the city god"
Xie Lingyun was not polite, as soon as the official eldest brother drove away the governor, believers and others of the main hall, he immediately shouted.
It may be that seeing that they are not ordinary people, after shouting a few times, there is a team of nearly ten ghosts flying from the golden armor guards on both sides of the pottery statue, they are not bull-headed and horse-faced, but all of them are burly men, dressed in gold armor, holding soul chains, knives and sticks and other things in their hands, their eyes are fierce, and they look very difficult to provoke.
Then the pottery statue suddenly shone brightly, and the city god condensed in front of the god platform, I saw that he was not very old, he seemed to be a young man of twenty-five or sixteen, a scholar, his face was quite handsome, and he was dressed in a red robe and official uniform, but his face was drunk and red, and he seemed to be drunk.
As soon as he saw the four stunning beauties standing side by side, he screamed in amazement, the wine red was even stronger, but there was no intoxication with the desire to do so, he suddenly yawned, glanced at the young Taoist, and asked, "What do you have to do to find this god? It is better to have something urgent, it is not right to disturb people's dreams." ”
"Can ghosts also drink alcohol?" Ah Man asked suspiciously, and Youqi immediately replied softly: "Yes, it is Yin wine, which contains drunken Yin Qi, which can make the soul feel drunk, in fact, the feeling of the body and God can be reproduced in the soul." He nodded faintly.
"Wine?" When the young city god heard this word, his eyes immediately lit up, and then he noticed a few wine gourds around the red-haired woman's waist, and sighed: "I haven't tasted human wine for a long time." ”
"God Chenghuang, we are here for the north gate of the city. Xie Lingyun called him, and then explained his intention.
"Oh, buy the door?" Cheng Huang casually sat down on the altar, leaning against the incense burner, and when the smoke was dispersed, he seemed to be about to get drunk and fall asleep at any time, and said: "There is nothing wrong with this, but you have to give me some expressions, right? Well, it's money, the money to buy the door, a thousand taels." ”
Ah Man was very funny: "You dead ghost, give you money, can you spend it?"
The "bold" group of golden armor ghosts immediately shouted fiercely, and the young city god stopped with his hand, but he was not angry, and smiled: "Hehe, I didn't say that it was money in the yang world, I naturally wanted money in the underworld." ”
"Then shall we burn some ingots candles for you?" asked Chun'er. Chenghuang shook his head again: "It's useless to burn more, what I want is the power of the people's faith, which is very precious to the officials of the underworld, and you don't understand it......"
Xie Lingyun immediately thought of Bo'er Elephant, he took out the money jar and shook it, and there was a clanging sound of silver coins colliding, and said, "Look at this?"
"Huh" The spirit of the city god was greatly lifted, Huo Di got up, his face was full of surprise, and shouted and pounced: "How can you have this baby, wow, thirty-one thousand two hundred...... There is so much money...... Wow" His eyes were red with excitement, and he cried out, "The gates have been sold to you."
After all, the other party is a city god, and he doesn't want to do much, so if he can solve it with one thousand taels, he will give it to him, Xie Lingyun said: "Then how can I give you the money?"
"Huh. Calm down, Chenghuang laughed, and did not answer him, but said with a serious expression: "I was drunk and dizzy just now, I misremembered the number, the north gate is very expensive, there is a spiritual light, so let's do it, 30,000 taels, for you"
"What?" The five people were shocked when they heard this, and Ah Man'......s face was immediately full of anger, and he scolded: "You cheap ghost, are you really drunk and stupid, 30,000 taels? Shameless"
The young Chenghuang yawned again, "Whatever you say, 30,000 taels, not a single point is missing." ”
"Aman, go and smash his pottery statue" Xie Lingyun suddenly spoke.
