Chapter 95(1/2)
One more hardship (please subscribe)
Valley County.
Although the moon in the sky is shining brightly as always, the dim environment in the city at night has not changed. The moonlight today is even dimmer than the same day last month.
Even on several major streets, without torch lighting, it would be difficult for pedestrians walking at night to see the way ahead.
But even in such a dark night, in addition to the helpless watchmen, there were also people who stayed up all night until midnight, listening to the sound of careful candles outside getting farther and farther, and suddenly there was an undetectable sound in the quiet room.
sound.
After a while, a not-so-tall figure walked out of the room. The dim moonlight shone on his almost waxed forehead, and the weak reflection exposed the upper half of the figure's face - it was the Miao Zhu from the City God's Temple.
He moved carefully, trying not to make a sound.
It wasn't until the door closed without making much noise that Miao Zhu breathed a sigh of relief.
I looked around and saw that the houses of several Taoists were as quiet as ever, and more than half of my worries dissipated.
The rest will have to wait until he escapes from the City God's Temple.
It wasn't until I escaped from Gucheng and settled down in Fucheng that I could feel completely at ease.
How wonderful this is!
Without much hesitation, Miao Zhu hurriedly rented a carriage, took his belongings and headed for the lower mountain village in the story.
His tone was light and airy, but the junior brother couldn't hold back his anger: "Practice? How can you practice? Can the wisdom in the world still allow people to become immortals? It's all."
"Junior brother!"
That they can survive is purely because the author of the book changed the ending.
After all, demons are not affected by this disaster, but who is responsible for the luck it takes to become a god?
Unexpectedly, something good happened today.
Pack?
It's just drinking poison to quench thirst. After the statue was repaired, although it regained its function, the demon fetus inside was also absorbing incense, growing the evil spirit, and even absorbing the so-called dirt. When the monster breaks out of its shell, the food it eats will not be the same.
The incense is gone, but the blood food in this valley city.
Unless they are willing to enshrine those immortals as gods, please come into the temple.
But Zhang Ke had to admit that this kind of giant rat was exactly what he needed.
The older man didn't take it seriously when he heard this. He still closed his eyes tightly and tried to absorb ideas.
Otherwise, do you really think that the demons and ghosts are running a charity?
So, after learning from the experience, Miao Zhu decided to run away!
Not only must we stay away from the City God's Temple, which seems to be raising demons, but we can't stay in Gu County anymore. At least we have to go to Fucheng.
Monk and Taoist priest?
Therefore, Buddhism and Taoism, which were originally at odds with each other, suddenly cooperated and would rather face repeated harsh criticism than cooperate with the Qing court.
Looking at his pale-faced junior brother, he shook his head.
The land worker recorded this passage and sent it out through the life book.
Well, when the statues in the City God's Temple and Buddhist temples gradually crack, without the protection of the gods, all kinds of monsters and ghosts will turn their heads to target the county town. Then we will wait for the monsters to cause trouble.
It took thousands of years for Buddhism and Taoism to become what they are now, but the fruit has matured. Is it possible for you, the Qing Dynasty, to share some of it?
Of course, there are people who stick to the bottom line, and there are people who are morally erratic. There is no way to avoid this.
But now, the three Taoist priests took out the broken ones and replaced them with oval, jet-black ones.
When the temple blessing disappeared in the backyard, a dark shadow disappeared behind the window of another room. Then the candles in the room were lit, and sitting at the table in the room were three Taoist priests from the temple.
Zhengyi, Quanzhen. All the elders in the sect are very busy because of the spiritual intelligence and the extinction of the gods. Don't bring huge trouble to the entire Taoist sect because of your words."
Another Taoist priest sitting at the table calmly made himself a cup of tea, sipped the already cold tea in his mouth, and said softly: "Life and death are determined by destiny. Since he feels that the temple is full of sneaky people,
, if you can’t stay any longer, just change places.
Not only are the factors such as barbarians and dragon veins, the even more irreconcilable contradiction between the two sides is that the imperial court has always wanted to incorporate their kind of family immortals into the Kyushu divine system.
This is evening, and there are dozens of people waiting to burn incense in the evening. How strong will the incense be during the day?
Although most of these people are villagers from nearby villages, and they only offer incense without paying for it, is this the key?
With the arrival of a new day, a trend of worshiping the Earth God is spreading from the foot of Taihang Mountain to surrounding towns. Miao Zhu, who was just about to leave the city, was eating breakfast at the breakfast stall while listening to a few diners.
There he boasted about the miraculous effects of the land god. After a slight hesitation, he couldn't help but come forward to talk.
After all, he has been immersed in this industry for so many years and has no skills. If he really wants to go to Fucheng, he is afraid that he will be left in vain.
Of course, no matter how doubtful he was, he just decided to stay away from this place as much as possible, instead of following the story to see the statues and find the truth.
I don’t know how long the previous mountain gods and landmen had been in ruins. As soon as Zhang Ke absorbed their authority, he felt waves of urging in his heart, urging him to exercise his authority and perform his duties.
Not pretending,
Now there is such an efficacious land god, if it is really as efficacious as they say.
It’s impossible to do charity, right?
He does not engage in loss-making business. Instead of losing the money he invested, it is better to change his appearance. In this way, the landlord can earn incense and he can share the incense and money, a win-win situation!
But when he thought that he would have to leave his hometown and even leave the lucrative position of Miao Zhu, and he would no longer be able to spend money lavishly in the future, Miao Zhu felt his heart aching.
Shuo rat.
If he had enough patience, it would be good to take root and slowly penetrate the village route, but it is a pity that Zhang Ke did not have such a long time.
So the appearance of Xun Liangji was too timely for Zhang Ke!
In the Taihang Mountains, due to the different levels of the mountains, Zhang Ke could only annex them selectively.
"well"
And if Xun Liangji can open up the joints, then Zhang Ke can completely skip Gu County and go directly to Fucheng. The City God in Fucheng is only at level seven, and is still within Zhang Ke's processing range. With the City God as his boss Zhang Ke
Ke can integrate the authority of the earth gods in a government.
But I didn’t know why I was crazy at that time. I had already returned to the room, but I still wanted to go back and take a look out of curiosity.
At this time, with the candles on the altar table, he also saw clearly what the so-called pretending to be dirty was.
On the outskirts of the Taihang Mountains, with the help of the creatures in the mountains, Zhang Ke, who was eroding the mountains from the outside in, suddenly received news from his subordinates. He sent a ray of spiritual thought through the life book to Xiashan Village. After finding Xun Liangji, things happened to him.
I probably understand.
That night, I brought the paint to a young Taoist priest and left obediently. He continued to be his temple blessing, and was able to make a living by collecting dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver every month.
Just like the City God's Temple today, don't they know that there is a problem with pretending to be dirty, but so what?
In the past, Dayuan didn't do the work of severing dragon veins, but you guys did all the bad things without saying a word.
"Senior brother, it seems that your and my good intentions have been wasted. This guy is really going to run away."
As a result, I saw three Taoist priests in the temple opening the belly of the cracked statue and replacing the filth inside. The scriptures and gems originally used to contain the filth either turned into a pile of shredded paper or split into two halves.
It must be dim and lackluster.
At that time, unlike villages and towns, which are separated into scattered plots of land, Zhang Ke can directly reach out to usurp power when they are close to each other. Moreover, Zhang Ke's range of activities is as large as the whole government. Looking for water veins is very important to him.
It is no longer difficult.
But if he continued to stay in the Chenghuang Temple, he was worried that he would not be killed, and instead frightened himself crazy.
The village chief blinked. He didn't expect such a good thing to happen. It happened that the expansion of the Tutu Temple reached a limit, and most of the surrounding villages and towns changed their ways. As for the county seat, it was rejected by the officials.
But Zhang Ke couldn't give up. Whether it was strength or exploring the dungeon, he needed to expand his territory. But then again, there was only a limit to what the villagers could do when the officials deliberately made things difficult.
Different from the normal scriptures, jade, and magical instruments, what's on the table seems to be an embryo?
Inside the thin and transparent embryo, a baby with a purple face and a devilish shape was sleeping. When he stared at the embryo on the table and couldn't take his eyes away, the guy inside suddenly opened his eyes and followed him.
While looking at each other, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
Afterwards, although the three Taoist masters always comforted him and told him that he was just blind and saw things wrong that day, he believed more in what he saw with his own eyes than what others said about people.
The three Taoist priests kept persuading, which only made Miao Zhu more and more suspicious.
At this time, Miao Zhu couldn't help but leaned forward again,
As a result, it seemed that the commotion was getting louder and they were discovered. The Taoist priest in the main hall suddenly turned around and stared out the window with a ferocious expression. At the same time, the other two Taoist priests hurriedly put the clothes in their arms on the altar table, holding talismans and swords and walking towards the door step by step.
near.
It would be better for him to continue doing his old job as a temple blessing!
Of course, it definitely can't be in Gucheng, at least it has to go to Fucheng, and the price of the land master is too low. If he really builds a temple, the incense will be very competitive with other temples. Without strong incense, where will he make a fortune?
Of course, the impact on him is not that big at the moment, but as the territory expands, the premonition of level improvement will definitely become stronger, until it finally annoys him.
If the master is effective, it will naturally attract wealthy people. Those are the goals of temple blessings and monks.
"I, Xun Liangji, want to build a temple to worship the earth god in Fucheng. I would like to ask the village chief to help me find a statue of a suitable size. As long as it is effective, everything else is not a problem!"
