Chen Changsheng continued to adjust his mentality and devoted most of his time to refining the gods, which also made his thoughts after his death a little clearer.
As he continued to practice, he also felt some subtle changes.
In the past, it would have been difficult for him to control his thoughts after his 'death', but now, he can 'think' and 'not think'. It sounds simple, but it is actually a very difficult thing.
Sinking into the void of forgetfulness again, Chen Changsheng felt a peace he had never experienced before.
There is no inner fear and no complaints.
Such a mysterious state made Chen Changsheng intoxicated, even a little addicted.
'Is this the practice of refining the gods? It's really mysterious...'
Chen Changsheng maintained the state of refining the gods, because in his opinion, this would make the time after death pass faster.
Waiting for the next time you wake up.
…
The three members of the Tong family went to the Chenghuang Temple overnight.
Tong Zhihuan kowtowed several times in front of the statue of the City God, and his father and mother also sincerely apologized.
Lord Cheng Huang listened to his voice, but he heard the word "Mr. Chen" and also noticed these three people.
'Tong Zhi Huan, Tong Cai Zheng...'
The old city god thought for a moment and looked at the people kneeling in the hall.
He saw that the boy was surrounded by golden light, which was his merit.
‘It turns out to be Doctor Tong from Renji Hall.’
No wonder he has such merit.
Tong Zhihuan then offered three sticks of incense to the City God.
Tong Caizheng said: "My child accidentally bumped into the immortal and committed the crime of disrespect. I came here to atone for my sin..."
Kneel down again and again, worship again and again.
Ms. Yu was also accompanying her, and Tong Zhihan also sincerely admitted his mistake and hoped to be forgiven.
After staying in the temple for half an hour, the family of three got up and went back.
The old city god looked at the three people leaving and began to think in his heart.
Logically speaking, this is indeed disrespectful, but since Mr. Chen is willing to let Tong Zhihuan go, he probably doesn't care about these small things.
And his father, Tong Caizheng, was a doctor in the square and had great merits. He often held free clinics in recent years, which reduced many sufferings in Qiuyue Square.
It's better to go there and save them from thinking too much.
night.
Tong Zhihuan was still afraid, so he slept with his father and mother at night.
"Don't be afraid if you know what's going on. Everything will be fine. Sleep peacefully. Mom and dad are both here."
"Um."
Grandma coaxed him again and didn't fall asleep until very late.
Tong Zhi woke up and fell into a dream.
In that dream, he seemed to see an old man wearing a yellow and blue robe.
He recognized him at a glance. He was dressed like the City God in the City God's Temple.
"Cheng, City God..."
"Tong Zhihuan, do you know your guilt?"
Tong Zhihuan was so frightened in his dream that he trembled all over. He knelt down and quickly admitted his mistake.
"Master Chenghuang, I have realized my mistake and will never dare to do it again. Dad, grandma, where are you? Dad..."
Tong Zhihuan cried especially loudly in his dream.
The old city god who was in his dream couldn't help but be startled when he saw this situation.
"quiet!!!"
The old city god scolded him, and Tong Zhihuan in his dream suddenly found that he could no longer cry.
He looked at the old city god in front of him with a horrified expression.
The old city god coughed slightly and said: "Although you have offended the Immortal, fortunately the Immortal did not care about anything with you, and you also know your mistake. From now on, remember not to do what you did today again, otherwise
, no one can save you."
Tong Zhihuan opened his mouth, but no sound came out, so he had no choice but to nod to show his understanding.
The old city god nodded slightly, then waved his sleeves.
Tong Zhihuan woke up from his dream.
He gasped for air and sat up from the bed.
My father and mother were both fast asleep, and at this time, it was pitch dark outside.
"Huhuhu..."
Tong Zhihuan's throat rolled, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
"Gods, gods..."
"What a fairy!"
Tong Zhihuan's eyes were a little dull, and he felt a sense of fear in his heart.
But thinking of what the City God said in his dream just now, his hanging heart completely calmed down.
It's okay, it's okay...
Tong Zhihuan patted his chest, glanced at his sleeping father and mother, then lay down honestly and fell asleep peacefully.
…
The mist is rising, the sky is gray, and the sound of cockcrows can be heard in the streets.
Liuyun Temple outside Qiuyue Square.
There is a table in the temple with fruits and candied fruits on it, which are used to entertain guests.
In Liuyun Temple, these are the best things, and you can't eat them usually. Only during the Lantern Festival, you can eat a peach, but now, the table is full of them.
This made the four senior brothers and sisters in the temple jealous.
But when he turned around, he saw Master still standing at the entrance of the temple, seemingly waiting for someone to arrive.
The youngest Zi Su asked softly: "Senior brother, who do you think Master is waiting for?"
Chang Shan shook his head and said, "Senior brother doesn't know either."
The fog in the mountain stream receded little by little, and when the sky was completely bright, a firewood man came up the mountain.
Chai Fu came to the temple master Xuan Huang and said, "Taoist priest, yesterday afternoon, the officials outside the Chenghuang Temple left."
Xuanhuang came to his senses and asked again: "Is the Chenghuang Temple also open?"
Chai Fu nodded and said: "It's open."
Xuanhuang sighed in his heart, knowing that he would not be able to wait for Mr. Chen.
"Now that you're tired, please come into the temple and have a bowl of tea. There are also some fruits you can try."
"Taoist Master, you're welcome. I won't drink the tea. Old man, I still have some things to finish, so I'm going back first so I won't disturb Taoist Master."
Xuanhuang walked into the Taoist temple and took out two peaches. After catching up, he forced the peaches into Chai Fu's arms.
After all, the Chai Fu reluctantly accepted it.
After sending Chai Fu away.
Xuanhuang also responded to the audience.
He saw several of his disciples looking at him eagerly, and he knew clearly that they were greedy for the melon and fruit preserves on this table.
"Don't you really want to eat it?"
Xuanhuang smiled and said, "Go and get it."
The second senior brother Shang Lu blinked and asked: "Master, can it really be eaten?"
"Okay." Xuanhuang nodded and said with a smile, "But you have to finish it and don't leave any leftover, otherwise it will be a pity."
When the four apprentices heard this, they immediately beamed with joy, and each one ran to the table and started eating.
Junior sister Zisu held a peach and gnawed it, with another one stuffed in her arms. Senior brother took a piece of candied fruit and shared the rest among his senior brothers.
Xuanhuang found a place to sit down, closed his eyes and rested.
Senior Brother Chang Shan stepped forward and handed a peach to Master, "Master, peach."
Xuanhuang shook his head and said with a smile: "Master doesn't want to eat, you can eat."
The third junior brother Scrophulariaceae came forward. He was eating candied fruit and asked: "Master, who are you waiting for?"
Xuanhuang was very curious when he saw the four disciples.
"You all want to know?"
"Um."
"Want to know."
The four disciples looked at the master and didn't eat anything, just waiting for the master to speak.
Xuanhuang just smiled warmly and said slowly: "It's just a gentleman."
"gentlemen?"
"Well, it's just a gentleman."
"So, the gentleman that Master mentioned is not coming?"
"It will come."
Xuanhuang closed his eyes and said, "It will come sooner or later."
