Xian Yunzi murmured in his heart, but he did not dare to neglect it.

After dusting off his Taoist robe and straightening his Taoist crown, he looked solemn and raised his hands to perform the ritual.

After some decent prayers, the half-pound frozen persimmons covered with white frost were placed on the incense table.

Then he polished the cinnabar, wrote three amulets to avoid disasters, and presented them to the distinguished guest who was looking at the statue of the City God with both hands.

"Taoist Priest, I would like to ask if the little gods and wild gods who receive incense under the command of the City God can travel between the Yin and Yang realms?"

Ji Yuan suddenly asked.

He thought of that old man Shen who seemed slightly unusual.

Logically speaking, the separation of yin and yang is a rule established before the ancient tribulations.

Even those who wander into the underworld cannot go deep into the underworld and set foot on the old soil.

Not to mention, breaking into the underworld in person.

But the first time Old Man Shen appeared was in the Chenghuang Temple in Yangjian.

The second time we meet again, it’s the Yin Temple next to the Baigu River Ferry.

Does this mean that Old Man Shen has the ability to walk the yin and yang in a real sense?

"Your distinguished guests may not know that the origin of the City God has a long history. The first sacrifices were made to those loyal ministers and good generals, and the local people often built shrines to them.

It's just that people in the Confucian sect often don't talk about strange powers and chaos, and seek to be famous and pass down the history, but they don't want to be incense, which can easily damage their morale.

Later, after several times of rise and fall of Buddhism and Taoism, when the Taoist sect was prosperous, the city god was given the title of "Yangguan" to protect the city and protect one side.

For example, a famous person from the Great Song Dynasty wrote a sacrificial text, saying, "Officials do their best, God bless them with their spirit, and each perform their duties, worthy of the people." This shows respect and original status.

When Buddhism flourished, the city god was taken into the underworld and called the 'Yin Official'.

The people didn't care about the crowd and just burned incense.

In addition, throughout the dynasties, emperors highly respected the city god as a god.

This incense can be said to have lasted for three thousand years, and gradually it reached its current peak."

Temple Zhu Xianyunzi laughed and spoke eloquently.

"Therefore, the status of the City God is very unusual, not inferior to that of the Three Divisions and Six Cases passed down in ancient times.

Moreover, after the founding of the country, the saints of this dynasty were canonized many times and continued to elevate them.

In terms of the power of incense alone, it is far superior to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Emperor Fengdu.

Especially the city god of the world is even more remarkable.

Although it has never been manifested, the golden body cannot be moved.

But... it is very possible that he is the only earthly righteous god in the world.

After all, people like Sanqing and Buddha have already been in harmony with the Tao."

Ji Yuan nodded lightly, he had also speculated before.

When a saint canonizes the city god of the world, does he have the same thoughts as the ancient Taoism and Buddhism?

I plan to re-establish the two realms of yin and yang to prevent the situation of humans and ghosts from getting worse and causing huge chaos.

"So, my dear, the answer to the question you just raised is self-evident.

The City God is both a 'yang official' and a 'yin official',

It is still the orthodoxy of the imperial dynasty and the incense of the secular world.

Traveling through yin and yang is just a leisurely journey.

Not to mention the city gods in the world, even those county gods and state city gods have many stories of divine manifestations spread among humans.

For example, they can provide dreams to an elderly person who has recently died, warn country women who are gossiping, and even make ghosts return to the world to express their grievances... and so on.

Otherwise, how could the people believe so deeply that they would often burn incense and pray for blessings?

And because of this, many small gods and wild gods also took shelter under the Chenghuang Temple.

Such as some kind of ‘immortal family’ outside the customs, listening to the gods and so on.”

Xianyunzi smiled slightly, there is no temple or Taoist temple in the world that can compete with the City God for incense.

Sheng Dou Xiaomin is the most pragmatic and pays attention to the method of "whoever believes in the spirit".

"Thanks for clearing up the confusion."

Ji Yuan was thoughtful, his eyes flashing.

From this point of view, Old Man Shen is not the righteous god of the underworld, but rather belongs to the City God system.

Or, listen to his arrogant tone.

You may be the city god in charge of a county or a state.

Since ancient times, many famous ministers with good reputations have passed away.

Let the reverent people take the initiative to petition and implore the imperial court to grant a city god.

Anyway, those who can enter the Yin Temple are definitely not from the Yang world.

After taking the three amulets, Ji Yuan took one last look at the majestic statue of the City God.

He took out a hundred taels of treasure banknotes, handed them to Xian Yunzi as money for scented oil, and then left the main hall.

During this period, he took a detour to Gonghoufang and chose a teahouse to rest.

Looking from a distance towards Duke Liang's mansion, which was particularly noisy today, a smile gently appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Old Zhao, what happened?"

"Haven't you heard? There was a ghost in Shuiyun Nunnery last night, and the Third Miss Liang Guogong, who led Qingxiu, was so frightened that she lost her mind!"

"Is there such a thing as strange news?"

"You are behind on the news, Lao Wang, not only the third lady, but also Mr. Xu."

"The Xu family? Young Master? That Xu Huaiying who was the number one scholar in high school and went to Zhenwu Mountain to become a Taoist priest on the day he went to the Korean government to pick up his bride?"

"Is there something fishy in this? A man and a woman alone, secretly meeting in a nunnery? Could it be..."

"Don't make any noise, let the servants of Duke Liang's Mansion hear it, and we will suffer."

"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that Xu Huaiying said that he was devoted to Taoism, pushed forward the marriage of the Korean Duke, but turned around and hooked up with the third lady of the Liang Duke's mansion..."

"..."

Teahouses and restaurants are not only useful for storytelling and listening to music, but also for gathering information.

This kind of place is a mixed bag of people, with all kinds of people chatting.

As long as you observe carefully, you can always gain a lot.

"Xu Huaiying was devoured by the King of Gods, and Yang Ping'er was also reduced to the furnace of the underworld. Although she was not killed, the way of the underworld was so severe that there was no way to survive."

Ji Yuan took a sip of fragrant tea and was distracted. He invited the nine nobles from three mountains to set up an altar to perform the ritual.

He dipped his finger in water, drew a talisman on the table, summoned Six Ding Liujia, and sneaked into the Duke of Liang's mansion.

After all, what you see is false and what you hear is false. You need to see it to determine the truth and falsehood.

Liu Ding and Liu Jia walked through the wall and passed through the corridor to avoid the guards who had strong energy and blood.

Following the two screaming old ladies, we came to Yang Ping'er's boudoir.

The third young lady of Liang Guogong, who has the appearance of a fairy and is ethereal.

At this time, he was sitting on the ground blankly, his eyes empty and lifeless.

There was still saliva hanging on the side of the mouth, although the maid wiped it off with a handkerchief, it didn't take long for it to drool again.

No matter how those old ladies supported and coaxed her, Yang Ping'er was unwilling to get up.

In the past, the charming and charming lady, who paid attention to etiquette in every move she made, has become completely stupid.

"No wonder she was so frightened that she lost her soul. Of the three souls and seven souls in her body, only one soul was left, and the rest were gone."

Ji Yuan's eyes reflected what Liu Ding and Liu Jia saw, and then he grabbed a wisp of energy from the air and threw it into the Emperor's Dao Diagram.

The brilliance ripples, reflecting destiny.

【Yang Ping'er】

[Fate: Lonely Swallow Flying into the Sky]

[Fate number: God-reverent (green), Yin furnace (green), confused heart (white), crisp body (white), body as light as a swallow (white), childless (white), silly (grey), lost soul (grey)

), Dementia (grey)]

"The purple destiny [Xianzi] is gone, but there are three more gray destiny."

Ji Yuan's eyes flashed, he shook his head and said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter if you're not dead, Shuiyun'an will have to bear the wrath of Liang Duke's Mansion and Zhenwu Mountain.
To be continued...
