From childhood to adulthood, Qi Jingzhi followed his grandfather to travel through many temple fairs back to the county Chenghuang Temple. Naturally, every time he came, he was crowded and very lively.

At this time, the City God Temple was deserted after nightfall. The young man looked inside through the crack of the door and felt that it was dark inside, miserable and miserable, and it seemed that the moonlight could not be shined in.

He endured the doubts in his heart and wanted to reach out and knock on the door, but the temple door opened on its own.

As soon as the temple door opened, bright light suddenly surged out from behind the door, covering Qi Jingzhi's eyes.

As far as he saw, the courtyard and the hall were brightly lit, illuminated like daylight, which was very different from the scene I saw through the crack in the door before.

A tall and thin man in white clothes and white hat and pale face stood inside the door, smiling and sarcastic on his face, his tone was intimate: "Brother Qi is here quickly, please come in quickly!"

Qi Jingzhi's eyes were instantly attracted by the white high hat on the man's head, and he saw four big words clearly written on the hat: "You are here!"

After a moment of thought, he remembered a legendary ghost and god. He immediately clasped his fists and smiled: "I have met Master Qi!"

The man in white waved his hand quickly: "I dare not call him randomly. Master Xie Qi is a great god under the capital city god. Although we are doing similar tasks, our status is very different. Just call me Bai Du Head."

He said while leading the way: "In fact, it's not just me. No matter which City God Temple is in this Great Qi Kingdom, you can call him like this whenever you see someone dressed like this, and you will never be wrong. Oh, Xie Qi is of course an exception."

Qi Jingzhi nodded, feeling that he had seen both Yin and Yang in just one day, and this experience was rare.

He was quick-witted and immediately learned from the other side and asked with a smile: "If you meet someone wearing black clothes, you will call him a black head, and only Mr. Fan Ba ​​is the exception?"

Bai Dutou looked at the boy with a little surprise, and his tone was filled with emotion: "That's right, Lao Hei happened to go out to do the job, and the guy wouldn't see him tonight. Hi, the job we did was all about this slut. It was useless to be named after his death."

Qi Jingzhi naturally followed the good deeds and asked as he walked, "Baidu Head, my teacher, Master Meng, said that someone was waiting to see me in the City God Temple, and I don't know where the person was?"

Bai Du looked up at the sky and smiled and said, "It's still early to leave the hall, and the City God is still taking a nap in the back hall."

Qi Jingzhi said in surprise: "It is the city god of this county who wants to see me?"

"That's not, but if you want to meet, you have to wait for the City God to enter the hall. At noon today, a broken dead soul came to Xiaomatsu Mountain. His mind was clear and he insisted on seeing you again. Meng Sigong said to it, "Brother, you are a personal certificate, you will be here in the hall in the evening, so that guy is much more at peace."

After hearing what Bai Dutou said, Qi Jingzhi felt a clear idea in his heart.

On the way out of the mountain, he had asked Jiao Yulang specifically about the whereabouts of his spirituality after being killed by the tiger spirit and his accomplices, and briefly explained the story of the tiger turning into a tiger and the tiger fading its skin.

The knowledgeable little kid heard about the origin of the tiger spirit and looked very ugly for a while before answering that the tiger genitals are a special ghost formed by the combination of the dead spirit and the mountain king's tiger evil spirit. It is already part of the mountain king's root. After the ghost body is killed, the spirituality will return to the mountain king's arms and will never be liberated.

As for the tiger spirit, Jiao Yulang speculated that its spirituality was mostly trapped on the strange tiger skin flower clothes, which would be eaten up early and evening, becoming a very special accomplice. However, the tiger skin was accidentally damaged and the divine power in the palace suppressed it, so it took advantage of the opportunity to fade and intends to regain its spirituality as the host. Unfortunately, the luck was not good and the result was failed.

Later, the guy turned into a tiger and his tiger-skinned clothes were completely ineffective. His spirituality returned to freedom. Only after his death could he pass through the underworld and enter the underworld.

When talking about tiger skin and flowery clothes, the little kid also mentioned it specifically, saying that ghosts are a general term for a type of ghost, not unique to the mountain king. In addition to tiger spells, there are other strange beasts and strange things in this world that can also create and control ghosts, each with its own special features, but it is even more rare.

Qi Jingzhi combined Bai Dutou's voice just now and knew that the broken dead spirit in the other party's mouth must be the tiger spirit.

He was sure of it, so he had the leisure to look at the City God Temple in front of him that was very different from the one I remember.

At this moment, compared to the incense that was lingering in the past, there was no noise and play in the temple at this time, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn and strict.

The hall directly in front is far taller and broader than Qi Jingzhi remembers. The door is open and the space inside is much more spacious and deeper.

Under the candlelight, the statues originally worshipped in the hall were all gone, and they were replaced by several tall desks, which were arranged similarly to the lobby of the county government.

As if he saw the young man's curiosity and doubt, Bai Dutou smiled and explained: "What the young man saw in front of him was the underworld of the City God's divine mansion, which was between reality and existence."

Qi Jingzhi nodded and complimented him along the other party's words: "Grand and upright, it's true that he is a righteous and handsome!"

"Haha, my brother is a good speaker after studying at Mengsi Gong. He is indeed a good speaker. People in this world often spread rumors about the underworld scenes, but they don't think about it. Our underworld is also an official government, and ghosts and gods were once living people. How could this place be miserable and terrifying? "

As they spoke, the two of them had approached the hall gate and saw a couplet hanging on the pillar in front of the door, with golden light faintly illuminating.

"Come in and touch your heart, you might as well regret the reincarnation of good deeds."

Qi Jingzhi recited the first couplet, turned his head and looked to his left, and saw that the lower couplet read: "Go out and do good things, why do you need to light a candle and burn incense?"

Standing in front of the hall gate, Bai Dutou stopped talking and laughing casually, and his voice became much smaller. Su Rong introduced: "This is written by our City God. He was the left deputy censor of the Censorate during his lifetime. He was the most selfless. After his death, he was appointed as the city god in this county. He acted the same as before his lifetime. He did not like to regard himself as a ghost or god, and did not value the incense of believers."

"Just look at this couplet, you will know that the City God must have been a good official before his lifetime."

Qi Jingzhi once again praised him without any effort, and asked in confusion: "I remember that the Zuo Deputy Censor seems to be a third-rank official, right? Why did he only enfeoffed the county city god?"

Bai Dutou immediately shook his head: "That's not the case. Although the county town god has only one county under the rule of the county town god, he has the title of Xianyoubo, which is ranked superior, and can better protect his descendants and create a sacred family. It is definitely not comparable to the county magistrate in the human world..."

"You guy is showing off your lips and tongue again!" An old voice suddenly came from the hall.

Then, an old man in a crimson official robe slowly walked out of the hall gate.

He looked serious, and his nasolabial folds on his face were deep and long, making him look extremely majestic.

Bai Dutou hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Mr., I'm safe!"

The old man stopped and scolded without hesitation: "You have been this misunderstanding leader for many years and have even given up your name. You should have seen through the glitz of the world. I don't want to make progress like this! If you teach the young man badly, let's see how Meng Xiucai will cure you!"

He turned to Qi Jingzhi and said seriously: "The Great Qi was granted the title of God, and the county city god will all award Xianyoubo the title. This is just a title, and it is not the same as the title of the human world... If I had to compare it, it was roughly equivalent to the fourth-rank official in the court. If I really regarded myself as an earl, I would be laughed out loud."

As soon as the old city god finished speaking, someone suddenly laughed loudly at the temple gate: "Haha, why should Deputy Xian be so serious? I don't know how many emperors and princes in the world are envied by the position of this city god!"

Qi Jingzhi's heart moved, and Master Meng really taught him that the so-called "deputy constitution" was the nickname of the left deputy censor.

He turned around and looked in the sound, and indeed saw Master Meng walking in with great strides.

A faint smile appeared on the old city god's face, and his tone became much gentler: "I kindly teach the students for you, but you are a scholar but you don't appreciate it."

Master Meng strode forward, bowed and bowed, and smiled and said, "Why did you get up so early tonight?"

The old city god snorted and said slowly: "It's because I heard that someone complained in private, saying that I didn't know how to be polite to my subordinates and didn't even let me sleep! I had to rest for a while and get up early to handle the business, so as not to be a bad reputation for being harsh!"
