I'm looking for longevity in Liaozhai

Chapter 35 I Want To Live Forever
The officials of the world worship the gods of the underworld,
Just like the emperor worshiping Buddha,
It may not be a letter, but please feel at ease.

Wang Zhe stood outside the Town God's Temple, quietly observing.

The worshiping people must be more pious. Wang Gan looked over with the "Looking Qi Technique", and saw little spots of light flying out of those worshiping people and blending into the clay statue of the City God.

"He is absorbing the incense and vows of the people."

People fight for a breath, Buddha fights for a stick of incense.

Some incense gods became gods by accumulating people's wishes.

In the eyes of everyone, the statue of the city god is high and majestic, and they dare not look at it.

In Wang Zhe's eyes, the color of this clay sculpture seems to be a little brighter than the previous two days, as if it has just been freshly painted.

"Is it possible that this clay sculpture can also become a god?"

people come and go,

Wang Zhe observed carefully outside, but all the people who came out of the Town God's Temple would have happy and satisfied smiles on their faces.

It looked as if the City God had heard their wishes and promised to fulfill their wishes.

Among them were the servants in the yamen. The old Hou who came out of the Town God's Temple saw Wang Zhe outside, and immediately stepped forward.

"Azhe, have you gone in to worship the City God? I feel that this year the City God is particularly effective. I feel that he has heard my wish." Lao Hou said excitedly.

"Wish, give birth to a fat boy?" Wang Zhe said with a smile.

Yes, yes, Lao Hou nodded, and Sun Xiulian who was beside her lowered her head in shame.

"The City God has appeared!"

Suddenly there was a loud shout from the Town God's Temple.

Wang Zhe hurriedly looked inside, only to see that the Town God's Temple in the main hall actually emitted a multicolored glow.

The people of Guo Beicheng inside immediately fell to their knees and kowtowed to the ground one by one.

Even some people who had already left the Town God's Temple knelt on the ground, Wang Zhe and Sun Xiulian also knelt on the ground.

"City God bless, City God bless!"

Among the crowd, only Wang Zhe stood in the same place, neither kneeling nor worshiping, standing out from the crowd and being different from others.

"Azhe, please kneel down and beg the city god to bless you!" The assistant waiting at the side tugged at his clothes.

"Appeared?!" Wang Zhe stood at the same spot, using the "look at Qi technique" to look towards the Temple of the City God.

In the sunlight, there was a faint figure, who seemed to be wearing a red robe similar to that on the statue of the City God, but he couldn't see clearly.

He looked at the phantom, and that phantom seemed to be looking at him,
Look at him, the only one who doesn't bow down!

The multicolored rays of light dissipated in just a moment, and the phantom of the City God also disappeared, leaving only a layer of incense light outside.

Even with the "Looking Qi Technique", nothing can be seen.

But the devout people still knelt on the ground, and more people flocked to the Temple of the City God and worshiped the City God. Some of these people had just worshiped the City God.

On the way back, after hearing the apparition of the city god, they hurried back and worshiped again, extremely pious.

"Could it be possible that there really is a City God? Or" Wang Zhe thought of the black air two nights ago.

"I hope I'm thinking too much." He looked at the statue of the City God worshiped by everyone amidst the green smoke in the temple.

"Did you know that the City God appeared just now, I saw it with my own eyes, you really should go to worship the City God!"

"I say that every time I come back."

"This time it's true. I'm not the only one who saw it. If you don't believe me, just ask Lao Li, he's there too!"

"It's true, I saw it too, wearing a red robe, surrounded by colorful rays of light."

"Where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Go to worship the City God."

"Didn't you just go there?"

"Azhe, you really should go in and pay homage to the City God."

On this day, the biggest thing that happened in Guo Beicheng was the apparition of the City God. In less than a day, this incident spread throughout the surrounding villages and towns, and people came to worship one after another.

Until it got dark, there were still people coming and going in the Town God's Temple, and the incense was constantly burning.

Wang Zhe stood outside the Town God's Temple for a long time, observing for a long time, looking at the pious kneeling people, but he did not see the City God appearing again.

But the power of the incense and wish on the statue of the City God was many times stronger than when he saw it a few nights ago.

If that night was just covered with a thin layer of gauze, then the current City God is covered with a thick layer of quilt, and the quilt is formed by the condensation of incense and vows.

When he got home, he was still thinking about it.

There are mountain spirits and wild monsters in this world, and he has seen them before, so they can be regarded as monsters.

"Could it be that there are really gods in this world?"

At night, after practicing, Wang Zhe stood on a high place, looking at the Temple of the City God.

It was already night, and there were still people going to worship, and the incense light from the statue of the City God was so strong that it was about to materialize, even if Wang Zhe didn't use the "Looking Qi Technique", he could still detect it.

Then, for seven days in a row, the Temple of the City God was full of incense.

The city god's apparitions go beyond the gods,
Then, something even more amazing happened,
A 60-year-old lame old man in the city came to the Temple of the City God to act as a temple priest. He said that the City God entrusted him with a dream at night, not only the dream, but also cured his lame leg for decades.

Those who come here to worship and pray, those who get sick quickly recover, those who do business get rich, and the lost things are found.
One by one, every incident is showing the effectiveness of the city god,
Wang Zhe watched a couple with a seriously ill child enter the Town God's Temple to pray. After kneeling down to worship the City God, the temple took a piece of talisman paper and a bowl of water, lit the talisman paper, and the burning ashes melted into the temple. Put it in a bowl of water and give it to the child.

Under the blessing of the "Looking Qi Technique", Wang Zhe saw a faint light shining in the bowl of water.

The child's complexion obviously improved after taking the talisman water, and the ominous gray aura on his body also subsided.

"Does this really work?"

Wang Zhe had also heard rumors about Fu Shui's healing before, but now he saw it with his own eyes.

"Is it really so effective?" Wang Zhe glanced at the Temple of the City God.

The couple are very grateful to the City God.

Soon, there was another rumor in this Town God's Temple, that the City God is effective, and the amulet water can cure all diseases.

People passed it on by word of mouth, so the incense will naturally become more vigorous.

Not only people from Guobei County, but even people from nearby counties came here admiringly.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

On this day, Laohou excitedly ran to Wang Zhe's side.

"Azhe, Xiulian is pregnant, and I'm going to be a father!" Lao Hou looked excited and excited.

"congratulations."

Wang Zhe saw him with a happy face a few days ago, but he didn't say much at that time.

"This City God is really effective. Ah Zhe, if you have any wish, hurry up and pay homage to the City God. He will definitely help you realize it."

"He can't satisfy my wish." Wang Zhe said with a smile.

"What wish, is it possible that you still want to be the county magistrate?"

"I want to live forever."

"My child, I'm talking business with you!"

"I'm also speaking the truth."

"You, hurry up and find a daughter-in-law, so you won't have to think about it all day long, you don't have the right type!" Lao Hou glared at him.
