As soon as these ghosts saw Lin Fengjin, they immediately pointed them out, ran over in large strides, then surrounded him and shouted:
"You bastard, even if you have a grievance, you can just avenge it. Why do you want to take the lives of eleven people in the family? The land owner has already reported it, and now these people who died unjustly are all grievances."
Soaring to the sky, once the first seven days are passed, he will definitely turn into a powerful spirit and come back to take revenge! If such a thing really happened, everything would be in chaos that day, and he would not honestly go back with us to settle the cause and effect."
Lin Fengjin was stunned at this moment, and soon realized that he must have been wronged and regarded as the ghost who committed the crime. It can be said that he had mixed feelings in his heart at this time, not that he was afraid of these ghosts.
The accusation was made, but I never expected that the businessman who turned into an innocent soul would be so ferocious. You know, all injustices have their debtors, so why don't you just kill the person who murdered you? If you kill him, your whole family will be reckoned with.
What?
Lin Fengjin stood there hesitating, and then a ghost rushed up, swinging the chain in his hand and trying to put it on his neck. However, a ghost next to him grabbed him and looked at him.
He glanced at Lin Fengjin and said:
"It shouldn't be him. Six years ago, Butcher Zhang took a butcher's knife and killed five members of Widow Ma's family. He was then shot to death by the government at the east gate. It's not like you haven't seen what his ghost looked like at that time!
Seeing that this guy probably died just now, and you don’t know anything yet, don’t fucking mistake the wrong person, use your brain to think about it, how can a evil ghost who killed eleven people in a row be so calm?
?”
The yamen servant suddenly let out an oh, and suddenly realized that he suddenly saw blood rising into the sky to the west, almost even the sky was dyed red. The gang of ghosts suddenly shouted:
"Over there, over there!"
Then a swarm of swarms rushed forward, and Lin Fengjin was suddenly isolated again. He could only watch these guys running away, and couldn't help but say:
"It seems like these guys are quite capable of getting things done."
Shi Nu said:
"Such big cases, especially those that in turn affect the yin world and affect the yang world, are really rare. Ghosts and other things rely on the incense of the Chenghuang Temple. Once the incense falls, then
Naturally, it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold. After being knocked back to their original shape, it can be said that it will be miserable---either they will be reincarnated, or they will disappear into thin air--------
-This is a matter of life and death, how could you not care about it?"
After hearing this, Lin Fengjin also felt particularly interested and said:
"Yes, what will happen if the incense of this City God's Temple declines? From then on, this City God's Temple gradually becomes dilapidated and no one cares about it."
Shi Nu said:
"How is it possible that a place like the City God's Temple, in a big way, is similar to the magistrate, prefect and other official positions in the Yang world, but in a small way, it is similar to the official positions of county magistrate and so on. How could it possibly be in decline?"
Seeing that Lin Fengjin was very interested in this, and this topic was probably not a taboo for them, Shui'e said patiently:
"Most of the City Gods in City God's temples around the world are divided into three situations. The first situation is that the City God is a famous minister and general of the current dynasty. After his death, he was named the City God of his hometown by the emperor. Unless there is a change of dynasty or encountering a big problem between heaven and earth.
It is almost impossible to defeat a catastrophic disaster. This kind of city god is originally a celebrity in his hometown, so his status can be said to be extremely stable, and his power is also great, and he can often even radiate to the surrounding areas."
"The second situation is that the city god here is also a local celebrity, and after his death, he is enshrined by the local people, then appears, and finally slowly grows in size. At this time, this kind of city god is the most common in all parts of the Central Plains.
.”
"The third situation is that the city god in the county town is directly controlled and appointed by the big city god. This kind of city god is called a small city god. There is even a custom in Xirong that the new county official comes to the territory: on the day before taking office,
Or you can go to the Chenghuang Temple to fast for the first three days, so that you can consult in your dreams whether there are any unsolved injustice cases in the territory."
After listening to Shui'e's story, Lin Fengjin realized that there are different sizes of city gods. The capital city god is enshrined by provincial administrative regions and is equivalent to the governor of the underworld. The prefectural city god is equivalent to the prefect of the underworld, and the county god is equivalent to the underworld.
County magistrate. Form a complete administrative system.
And the status of the City God is not stable. Once he is in power, he cannot get down, and he has to be careful at all times to be replaced.
Who will replace it?
First of all, the earth temples scattered in the countryside are a great threat, and a very popular earth temple is very likely to rise to power.
Secondly, there are places like the Mountain Temple and the River Temple. The Yin Gods here are also very willing to be promoted.
Finally, according to different customs in various places, some memorial temples are often built to commemorate famous ministers and warriors, such as the General Temple, Fan Gong Temple, etc. If they last forever and enjoy more incense, they can still be promoted to the city god.
Therefore, it can be said that the city god of Xunzhou was quite unlucky originally. Strictly speaking, he should really be grateful to Lin Fengjin.
Why do you say that? Do you still remember the enemies of Gongsun who worked here before and Qin went to do things here? In order to deceive stupid people into entering the mountains, they colluded with ancient wealthy families and regarded their temples as belonging to stupid people.
The mountain temple has made the incense very prosperous. This mountain temple was originally just a clay sculpture, but after being worshiped for many years, it also gained spirituality.
And this kind of thing is inherently ebb and flow. If the incense in the mountain temple is strong, the incense in the City God's Temple must be weak. When seeing that the city god in the city god's temple is being forced to breathe by the mountain temple, Lin Feng
However, Jin appeared in time and exposed their conspiracy. Now without the support of incense, the newly emerging mountain temple was naturally overwhelmed and collapsed. Only then did the City God Temple escape the disaster.
Although Lin Fengjin wanted to follow him at this time to see how ferocious the evil ghost who slaughtered eleven innocent people was, but after thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't forget the business. Maybe the Snake God Wa was still waiting.
I wanted to help myself, so I continued to rush to the Chenghuang Temple. Along the way, I found that the Bardo Realm was actually very deserted. After calculation, apart from the previous ghost mission, I only encountered that person.
Just the wronged soul of a businessman.
I couldn't help but ask Shui'e again. After asking, I suddenly realized. It turns out that it is still three or four o'clock in the afternoon in the daytime in the Yang world. This time is like three or four o'clock in the morning in the bardo world. Naturally, it is "inaccessible."
". Therefore, Lin Fengjin thought of a very critical question, that is, does the Chenghuang Temple Meeting work non-stop every day? Naturally, Shi Nu told him simply that this was impossible.
Because in the City God's Temple, the City God is not just a lonely man. In addition to ghosts and ghosts, strictly speaking, there are civil and military judges, great gods of various departments, General Ganliu, General Fan Xie, General Ox and Horse, Day and Night Wandering Gods, and Shackles.
The general and other city gods.
And depending on the size of the place where the city god is guarding, the administrative team will be divided into three divisions, six divisions, or even twenty-four divisions or thirty-six divisions.
For example, the Town God's Temple in a small county has three divisions. The Town God's Temple in a large county has six divisions, including officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and work. The Yin and Yang Division is the head of the divisions. The Yin and Yang Division is the first assistant to the City God.
, coordinate various departments, supervise all cases, and then report to the City God.
Some people think that in the bardo realm, these soul bodies have no physical bodies and do not seem to need rest. This is a big mistake. It is precisely because there is no physical body's Qi and blood to nourish the soul. Therefore, the soul needs a long period of meditation to adjust.
Breathing, and then strengthening the original mind and nourishing the soul body, otherwise, it would be a matter of course for the soul to fly away.
Lin Fengjin quickly arrived outside the City God's Temple. Just when he was about to find out where the mud horse spirit dog he needed was, he suddenly heard a loud wailing sound coming from a distance. He looked back.
I saw a ghost servant being carried by two ghost servants, screaming miserably as he walked this way.
Lin Fengjin was frightened when he saw this ghost. It turned out that half of his head had been bitten off. Moreover, more than half of his right foot seemed to be missing. It should also be a bite scar, and his entire soul was completely damaged.
It became translucent, but he was still full of energy when he heard his screams.
If he were in the Yang world, such injuries would have killed him a hundred times. It can be seen that the stone slave told him the importance of "the spirit body is harmless", but from this ghost body has become translucent
It can also be seen from this point that he has indeed been severely injured. It can be said that his vitality is severely damaged. If no measures are taken, it will definitely dissipate.
However, they saw the two ghost servants carrying the injured ghost directly to the incense burner in front of the City God's Temple. They saw the ghost began to greedily breathe in the scent of the fragrant wax. At this time, he came here to burn some incense.
There is also an endless stream of people who make wax. After burning incense, they will also worship it. Such incense contains the power of wishes.
And this incense burner has been worshiped by countless people, and the remaining will power in it has also accumulated. The severely injured ghost breathed heavily, and suddenly saw wisps of gray and white breath mixed in.
Once inside his body, the originally translucent body slowly began to condense. Obviously, there was no longer the feeling of disappearing and drifting away in the next second.
However, for these ghosts, they dare not absorb more of this basic willpower at this time. Because this thing is a double-edged sword, and people who come to burn incense and light wax often come with a certain purpose.
Such as asking for a child, asking for money, asking for promotion, and seeking wealth. After these impurity-like obsessions are mixed into the wish, they will be mixed into the three souls and seven souls of the spirit body one by one, as if they are chanting sutras.
Nagging next to the ear for a long time.
It is already annoying enough to be nagging by one person for a long time. If the nagging were replaced by ten or hundreds of people, it would really make people collapse. Unless you are able to satisfy yourself and come to worship.
If these people are wronged, then they have fulfilled their wish, which is equivalent to purifying and refining the basic wish power, so that they can take advantage of it calmly.
The reason why there are strong and weak city gods, some can become big, and some can only be deprived of their thrones after their incense is scarce is also related to this. The diligent and powerful city gods can naturally absorb more basic will power, because they can
Fulfill the wishes of as many people as possible.
In this case, more pure will power will be absorbed through the transformation, thereby strengthening one's own magical powers, and sharing the profits with followers to expand one's power and the size of his subordinates.
As his magical powers become stronger and his subordinates increase, he can in turn satisfy the wishes of more believers. Word of mouth spreads in the world, and the incense becomes more prosperous. In this way, a virtuous circle is achieved, and the business will naturally grow bigger and bigger.
On the contrary, if a city god does not have any great magical powers and is lazy, then he will absorb less pure willpower. In addition to maintaining his own basic consumption, he will have nothing left to share with his subordinates.
The willpower will be even less. In this case, a vicious cycle will be formed over time.
Everyone in the world knows that you, the City God, are just a clay doll, and even ghosts don't come to your door. After a long time, you will naturally be replaced by others.
To put it bluntly, the change of the city god is like doing business in the underworld. Taking over a mountain to gain territory for the king is the same thing, and the essence is the same. Diligence can make up for weakness, and those who achieve are first. If you sail against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.
Whether you are lazy or have no talent, you are in danger of being eliminated.
After seeing that the injured ghost was out of danger, Lin Fengjin was about to continue walking towards the City God's Temple when he saw another middle-aged scribe walking out. He was wearing a small gauze hat, a plain white robe, and a pair of black shoes at his feet.
He wears boots and has a long beard and beard. He holds a jade belt in one hand and a book in the other. His appearance is not very vicious.
This middle-aged scribe was the civil judge in Xunzhou City. When he saw the wretched appearance of this ghost, he immediately picked up the scroll, took a look at it, and murmured to himself:
"How can this fierce ghost be so arrogant? He even dares to hurt ghosts?"
The ghost servant next to him hurriedly said:
"Replying to the master, that evil ghost is really very vicious. When I tied it with a soul-locking chain, it was able to struggle to break free. Zhang Tou'er wanted to put it on with a soul-suppressing shackle, but who knew that the evil ghost's neck suddenly twisted and lengthened, and with a mouthful
I bit him on the body and wrapped him around him. I hit him continuously with water and fire sticks, but this made him fight back wildly. It can even be said that he went crazy and injured many people before running away.
Fortunately, Lord Niki Yugami passed by at this time and has already caught up with him."
After hearing what the ghost servant said, Judge Wen snorted coldly and said:
"A mere fierce ghost actually alarmed even Riyushen-sama? What happened to him?"
The ghost servant immediately said:
"Returning to your lord, this evil spirit is also pitiful. He is Wu Dalang from the cloth shop on South Street. His parents died when he was young. He struggled to survive until he was ten years old. Then he worked as an apprentice in the cloth shop and was signed for thirty years.
The death contract! Finally, at the age of thirty-three, the owner of the cloth shop suddenly fell ill and died. He was the one who supported the overall situation of the cloth shop. The widow of the boss saw that he was missing in the shop, so she
Gritting my teeth, I simply recruited him as my wife."
Lin Fengjin also knew that when you were an apprentice, you were only provided with food and accommodation. You would be beaten if the master wanted to be beaten and scolded if the master wanted to be scolded.
Even the host's housework and other chores are all taken care of. He wakes up earlier than a chicken every day, eats less than a dog, and is as tired as an ox.
And this apprenticeship contract also has something to say. If you sign for ten years, it is common. If you sign for fifteen years, the master is cruel. No matter how high the tenure is, parents will not be willing to let their children suffer such a living sin.
It happened that Wu Dalang collapsed outside the cloth shop on South Street at that time. He was so hungry that his eyes were dazzling. A mouthful of rice soup was already a good thing that he couldn't ask for. In that case, let alone thirty years.
Apprenticeship, even a lifelong apprenticeship, can only be signed with a toothpick.
Fortunately, people always have good times. The death of Mr. Wu of the South Street Cloth Shop was an opportunity for Wu Dalang. He recruited a new family member in one fell swoop and transformed from an apprentice to a boss to support the family. In the eyes of outsiders, he finally became a serf and became the master.
.
There is just a saying that goes well, every family has a hard-to-recite scripture. Why would the daughter of the deceased boss Wu be willing to marry him, a thirty-three-year-old apprentice? There is also a saying in this, it turns out.
This daughter of the Wu family also worked as a helper in the cloth shop, and was tricked into getting pregnant by a frivolous prodigal. She covered it up well, and it took five months for her to become pregnant.
At that time, it was a big deal to get pregnant out of wedlock, so they were forced to have an abortion, which probably damaged the bud in the body. After that, they finally got married again at the age of 18, and were divorced at the age of 20. Her husband's family said
She is lazy and greedy, but she is still a chicken that cannot lay eggs. With this bad reputation, it will be difficult for the daughter of the Wu family to remarry. Wu Dalang is really helpless, but he is jealous. The whole Wu family has worked hard to fight.
With the inheritance, I can only marry her.
Needless to say, there was no need to talk about the days after marriage. Wu Dalang was already in his thirties. He was busy outside during the day, so how could he deal with this woman who was in the age of a tiger and a wolf at night? In addition, he knew everything about the Wu family's daughter's scandal.
, knowing that no matter how hard you work on this piece of land, you will never get a harvest, you feel very indifferent.
However, after Mrs. Wu's death, there was no more control over the Wu's daughter, and she hooked up with another Zhang family guy in the store. However, the fire could not be suppressed, and Wu Dalang happened to catch him, but the cuckold was
I really violated a man's taboo, so of course I had to deal with this adulterer and adulteress severely.
As a result, the daughter of the Wu family was instigated by the cruel clerk behind her back, and simply drugged Wu Dalang's supper. This medicine was sold to the Zhang family clerk by an outsider. It was very rare. Wu Dalang drank a few sips of wine and fell into a coma.
Shen Chen was unconscious all day long. He invited the doctor to see a doctor, but all the prescribed medicine was given to the dog.
In this way, Wu Dalang lay unconscious in bed for four or five days. The neighbors came to see him, and they all knew that the doctor's treatment was ineffective. On the sixth day, the woman's howl came out, saying
It was the head of the family who passed away. In this case, even if some people were murmuring in their hearts, they had nothing to say. They directly asked the village chief to report his illness, and the government was sure of it.
The potency of that medicine was also too strong. Poor Wu Dalang's memory only lasted until he ate supper and drank alcohol, then went to bed and began to have a very long dream. Then he realized that he could finally move, but he was looking at himself.
The body was thrown into the coffin, and a group of people carried the coffin to the west of the city for burial. What I hated the most was that when the adulterer and the adulteress were going to the funeral, they actually started flirting and flirting.
Angry?
When Wu Dalang realized that he was already dead, the resentment in his heart naturally began to boil. No matter what, he gritted his teeth and took revenge. After sneaking into the city gate, he found that the adulterer and adulterer were impatient and directly
They started having an affair in the yard of the Zhang family's clerk. At that moment, he was extremely jealous and demanded his life. Killing these two people was not enough. He was so angry that he became ruthless, even the brother of the Zhang family's clerk who lived next to him.
The sister-in-law and six children also refused to let go. In the end, even the parents of the Zhang family clerk who lived next to him were killed.
At this time, Lin Fengjin was already quite impatient from waiting, but this time he made it clear that he was going to steal the mud horse spirit dog from someone else's hands. He still couldn't let go in front of so many people, because after all,
It was his fault, so he had to stand aside and watch in a low-key manner. Then he saw Judge Na Wen take out the book, search it carefully, and then sneered:
"That's right, this is where the killing comes from! Look at me marking his name. First let him be a lonely ghost. He can't even enter his own ancestral grave. Then...!! This guy...
Why did the name turn red? Did it sneak out again and start killing people?"
Evil ghosts will have karmic retribution when they kill people. What is karmic retribution is that the people they kill also have grievances. If such evil karma is entangled in the body, it can be said to be extremely painful. They will be affected by it day and night.
Obsessed with life.
However, if there is a way, things must be reversed to the extreme, so to what extent will they be reversed?
That's nine people.
At this time, "nine" is regarded as the extreme, "the Qianyuan period uses nine, and the world is governed."
Why is the emperor called the Nine-Five Supreme, not the Eight-Five Supreme or the Fifteen Supreme? That's because the "Nine" has reached its end. If it goes any further, it means that the dragon has regrets. It is already too much and not enough, so it can be called a emperor.
The word "regret" seems to be overcooked.
For the evil ghost, there is also a limit to killing, which is limited to nine people. At first, the more you kill, the more painful and difficult it becomes. However, once the evil ghost kills more than nine people, then
The bad karma no longer poses any burden to it, but because the evil energy all over the body can in turn restrain the entangled bad karma and turn it into its own weapon. (To be continued, please search for Piaotian literature and novels.
