Chapter 51 True and False City God
Ghost error?
Lu Li was the first to not believe this statement.
Immortals and Buddhas have hidden their traces, and the gates of the great avenues have been sealed off. Only two or three big cats and kittens are left, not to mention the ghost missions that maintain order in the underworld. Without the word "cha" at the end, he still reluctantly believes it.
Taoist boy Han Yu also thought the same way, thinking that some charlatan had no ability and was deliberately telling nonsense to defraud money.
However, what the leader said next made the two of them find it unbelievable, especially Han Yu. He began to regret that he had made such an arbitrary conclusion in his heart.
"The Taoist priest didn't take the money."
If you don’t care about wealth, what do you care about?
Turu grew up delicately because he wanted them to be able to read and write...
"He said that Brother Shen's soul was escorted to the City God and asked us to find a way to redeem him."
Ghost mission, City God, redeem people?
Lu Li couldn't help but frown.
The City God is the god who protects the city in Taoist classics. It corresponds to the Yang officials dispatched by the human court and is the Yin official responsible for the affairs of the underworld in the areas under its jurisdiction.
Not only that, the city gods who took office in some areas were selected by the local people themselves, and the selection criteria were also very uniform. They were either loyal men who died for their country, or they were upright civil servants.
"Redemption? Ha."
Hanyu Taoist boy's face was gloomy. Ever since he left the Patriarch's Hall and received the thunder method inheritance, he became less and less like what he should be at this age.
Of course, no one can say whether this change is good or bad.
"The City God is a righteous god recognized by the imperial court. How could he do such a thing as a robber and a strongman?"
After finishing speaking, Han Yu took the initiative to explain to Lu Li and others——
In the first month of the second year of Hongwu, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang granted the title of City God to Kyoto and the world. The Kyoto at that time was Yingtian Mansion in Jinling, and the City God here was granted the title of "Chengtianjianguo Si Minsheng Fu Mingling King", Bian, Hao, Jiu, He, In Chuzhou and other prefectures, the city god of the "Longxing Land" of this dynasty was also awarded the title of first-class king. The city gods of other prefectures were named "Inspection Division Min City God Wei Linggong". The official residence was the second-grade official, and the prefecture city god was "Inspection Division". The Mincheng God "Weilinghou" is the third grade, and the county god "Inspection Division Mincheng Huang Xianyou Bo" is the fourth grade.
He enjoys rank in the human world and controls authority in the underworld, which is equivalent to a feudal official.
Are you capable of seducing people's souls and asking for benefits from relatives and friends? This can no longer be described as lowering your status.
Lu Li became more and more certain that some evil demon who did not know whether to live or die took advantage of the chaos of humanity and the hiding of gods and Buddhas to occupy the Jinling City God Temple.
After all, Pudu Cihang dared to pretend to be the Tathagata Buddha of the West, and it is not too unusual for a demon to steal the throne of the god.
At the same time, Lu Li also thought of another even more lawless monster: Mr. Black Mountain.
Dryad Grandma, died.
Pudu Cihang, died.
And it still doesn’t die——
Judging from the information available in movies and TV shows, this guy was cultivated from a black mountain in the underworld. He has practiced Taoism for tens of thousands of years, and his defense power is invincible.
But success is also a failure, failure is also a failure.
Because its body is too huge, it can only act in the form of incarnation or possession, and is unable to exert its full strength. Therefore, it will be destroyed by human monks every time and escape back to the City of Wasted Death in embarrassment.
At the same time, because it is a monster from the underworld, it is instinctively afraid of sunlight and can only move at night.
Of course, these are not critical.
The City God in the words of Confucian scholars should be played by demons, but Master Heishan was even bolder. He directly occupied the city of Fusei, commanded countless Yin soldiers and ghost generals, and expanded his power to the Yang world. Even the tree demon grandma was in awe of him and sent Xiaoqian to the city. Marry it as your concubine.
"It's a waste of time to die in the city...The sixth King of Yama, King Bian Cheng, looks at all the worlds and all the world, he is a famous person, why don't you even want to live in your hometown?"
"What happened."
As he whispered in his heart, Lu Li made another decision. He had to go to the underworld for a trip.
This matter is not difficult to say. Yan Chixia and other casual cultivators can do it, let alone Han Yu, who has inherited the authentic Taoism. Lu Li estimates that it may not be long before he can also understand the way to travel through yin and yang from the contemplation method. Law.
the other side.
The interruption by Han Yu Taoist and Lu Li falling into silence left Scholar Song helpless and confused as to what the attitude of the two was.
At this time, Fu Qingfeng, who had been holding Lu Li's arm and remained silent, spoke:
"What do you want as a ransom? It is said that the City God is the righteous god of heaven and earth and will not seduce people's souls at will. Your friend will not do anything evil."
Seeing someone standing up for justice for himself and others, Scholar Song hurriedly spoke and defended:
"Brother Shen is the youngest person to be elected in this house in the past ten years. He respects his parents internally and respects his teachers externally. It is true that he went to Shili Qinhuai for the first time in his life the night before yesterday, and he only came after we invited him many times."
At this time, Lu Li also came to his senses. He had different ideas from Qingfeng.
The Taoist temple and his party, because they saw Zhang Tianshi and Tianguan Ziwei appearing with their own eyes, Qingfeng always thought that gods and Buddhas still existed, and the things living in the City God's Temple were naturally righteous gods. How could they ask for benefits? It was either the Taoist priest's nonsense or one of them. There is another secret.
In other words.
I have never seen the dangers in the world, I am too naive.
But Lu Li knew in his heart that this was not the case at all.
There must be a big problem in this world. The three realms of heaven, earth and man cannot function normally. If they had not gone there themselves, Zhang Tianshi and the emperor would not have appeared at all, leaving the evil demons to show off their power and the world to fall.
"Did the Taoist priest tell you what you need to prepare to honor the City God?"
Hearing this, Scholar Song looked at Lu Li, nodded, and continued: "I told you."
"He said that he had seen several cases of this kind of thing before, and he knew what the City God liked, so he asked us to go...go..."
I hesitated for a long time, but could not speak clearly.
The black-maned horse, who had been enjoying listening to the story, saw Scholar Song acting like this and couldn't help but urge: "Where are you going, mother-in-law, tell me quickly."
"Demon...demon..."
Some people were horrified.
Looking at the black-maned horse, Scholar Song was a little scared. However, as the leader of this group of people, he had pretty good concentration. After he came to his senses, he immediately turned around and yelled: "What kind of monster is this? This is Xingjun." 's mount."
"Good vision." The black-maned horse snorted.
The flattery is in the right place.
Lu Li was a little speechless. It seemed that his father really helped him spread the word, and the servants of the Hou Mansion also contributed a lot.
"Go on, what does the City God want?"
Among the people present, only Han Yu Dao Tong and his junior brother could follow Lu Li's thoughts. The others did not think of the City God as a monster.
After all, the more chaotic the world is, the more people need idols, and they long for gods to save the world.
"The Taoist priest asked us to go to Jiaofangsi to find a girl... to give to the City God... to be a concubine..."
The sound is getting smaller and smaller.
Being superstitious about gods does not mean that you have no brains.
