Chapter 116

When the genius just dawned, there were already traders from outside the city carrying burdens and pushing carts into the city.Changjing is really prosperous. This street is full of small stalls every morning. Most of the vendors have their own fixed positions. For example, at the gate of Song You, there is a woman selling eggs, an old man selling vegetables and a tofu seller. little man.

Changjing gave them a lot of ways to make a living, and also gave countless conveniences to the people in the city, but it's not yet dawn, but they don't know how far these people have traveled on the mountain road.

Voices started coming from below.

It was those vegetable farmers and vegetable vendors who were discussing in low voices, discussing how much the vegetables should be, and the minimum should not be too low.

Complain and sigh sometimes.

Sometimes chatting and laughing.

Joy, anger, sorrow, and joy all floated in through the window.

Song You took a quick look, and suddenly saw three figures walking from the left side of the street.

An old man who is not tall, wearing an official uniform, surrounded by two assistant officials, one civil and one military, dressed in noble or mighty clothes, and the traffickers and pawns around him seem to be invisible to them.

Before going downstairs, the military officer also found Song You at the window, said to the old man and pointed, the old man stopped and bowed his hands to Song You from afar.

Song You didn't say a word, he only saluted them and beckoned them to come up.

Not long after, the three went to the attic again.

"The little god has seen the immortal master."

"I'm just a mortal, so I can't be called an immortal master. My lord Chenghuang is from this dynasty, so just follow the custom of this dynasty, just call Mr. Sheng."

"Then I saw Mr.

"Congratulations, Lord Chenghuang."

"The little god just killed one of the monsters who made trouble, and it all depended on the talisman given by the master, but he didn't deserve this congratulation." The Lord City God cupped his hands again and again, "The little god came here just to tell the master that he has a long life. The fact that the monster was killed on the spot by the military officer under him was using the Thunder Talisman bestowed by the master, but I didn't expect the master to know the matter so well."

Cheng Huang said, then paused:
"Although it was indeed the wolf demon who killed the high officials of the imperial court a few days ago, and it has been executed now, as far as the little god can see, there may be accomplices of the wolf demon lurking in the city, hiding very deep, but the little god is sure Patrol with several priests under him day and night, and find out the trace of that evildoer as soon as possible..."

Song You nodded.

This city god came to inform him of the battle situation last night, and also to tell him why there was still a fire talisman that he didn't use, for fear that he might misunderstand that he kept it and used it elsewhere.

"However, I am puzzled. Since the accomplice of the wolf demon is hiding very deeply, how does Lord Chenghuang know that there are still his accomplices in the city?"

"Mr. Hui..."

Lord Chenghuang showed a look of shame: "Although the little god is incompetent, he is the city god of Changjing after all, and he always keeps an eye on the movement of Changjing in secret. This is the job of the little god, but it is also convenient to do."

"It seems that Lord Chenghuang also has a heart to do practical things for the people."

It doesn't necessarily mean that Chenghuang has a heart to do practical things for the people, or he may just be unwilling to bow his waist to be a god, or he may have realized that if this continues, he will be abolished sooner or later, or there may be other reasons Care about, no matter what, you still have to pick something nice to say.

Song You paused for a moment, and then said: "I just congratulated Chenghuang just now, but it wasn't that Chenghuang successfully exterminated the demon last night."

"I don't know..."

"Since the beginning of the month, I have often heard people talking about Lord City God. The incense must have been much stronger in recent days than before, right?"

"This……"

This is true.

On the one hand, the military officer of the Town God's Temple exorcising demons at night was seen and spread.On the other hand, I entrusted a dream to the minister of the Ministry of Rites, telling him to evacuate the people at the bottom of the mountain. Although this matter did not spread, all the people who forcibly bought and sold joss sticks at the Town God's Temple disappeared overnight. The most important thing is that everyone bought the incense and offered it to the city god, which is always more sincere than before.

There are more people offering incense, and their hearts are sincere again, so the power of offering incense is naturally far from what it was before.

Lord Chenghuang had no choice but to bow his hands again and again;

"It's still thanks to Mr.

Even the two military officers behind him, one civil and one military, also surrendered.

"Don't dare to do it." Song You waved his hand and refused, "After today, the news of killing the wolf demon will spread, and it will definitely be more beneficial to the prestige of Lord Chenghuang. Since he is a god, he still needs prestige."

"My little god dare not..."

"At first, I also thought that Lord Chenghuang was weak. If Changjing wanted peace, he should change to another city god. But I couldn't find a suitable person for a while, and this is not something that I, a Taoist, can decide. Now it seems that Lord Chenghuang is not That's so incompetent. It's just that the City God's prestige was not obvious during his lifetime, so he didn't know how to be a god at the moment." Song You turned to look at him, "It's just that from this matter, the City God has found another way to be a god?"

"Little God..."

"Ok?"

"Little God is not born fatuous, he is really powerless..."

"No matter what happened in the past, now that I have come to Changjing, if I want to stay here for a year, I am willing to help Lord Chenghuang. I only hope that Changjing will have one more dedicated city guard." Song You still turned his head to talk to this man. The two Lord City God looked at each other, "I don't know what the Lord City God wants?"

"..."

Should he continue to bow his body to be a god, lingering on his last breath in order not to die again after death, or be as majestic as other city gods, and be incensed by thousands of people?
If you are a human, it may be difficult to choose.

But if it is a god, it is not difficult to choose.

God depends on the incense of believers to exist, and righteous gods are bound to be difficult to do evil, so they have a good nature. In fact, it is not a long-term way to survive like this, and it will be a matter of time before they are deposed.

The Changjing City God just thought for a while, then bowed deeply again:
"Please advise sir."

"I can't talk about advice. It's just that Changjing is chaotic, and there are many demons in it. If you just covet the prosperity of the world and have never caused chaos, you don't have to kill them all. But those who have made chaos are not tolerable. These things are still more important for the Lord City God and you civil and military officials." I can't do it easily, even if I force it, I can only manage it for a while and not for a while. But I can help Lord Chenghuang and bring some peace to the people of Changjing." Song You paused, "Master Chenghuang If you have a heart of being a good god and want to live forever, then you should stop doing nothing. Don’t take more incense, and give more to your subordinates, especially the military officers, they are the foundation of the Lord City God’s foothold."

"Follow the teacher's instructions!"

"From now on until next year, Lord City God can drive away evil spirits and subdue demons. If you encounter someone with deep morality, you can come to me to ask for amulets. I don't think anyone will send Lord City God just because of the good deeds that Lord City God has done to protect the city and protect people's livelihood." Deposed." Song You paused, "I will leave Changjing next year, there is still more than half a year left, I hope Lord Chenghuang can accumulate enough prestige for me to last forever."

"Thank you sir!"

"The city god must know that God puts people first and seeks benefits for the people, so that he can stand upright and be immortal for thousands of years." Song You said, "The real golden body is forged by the hearts of the people."

"Yes……"

"Where is that wolf demon?"

"Behind the Town God's Temple, I'm planning to hand it over to the county government." Lord Chenghuang thought for a while, gritted his teeth, "Now that I think about it, it's better to place it at the gate of the Town God's Temple."

"Master is wise!"

"Little god, leave..."

Chenghuang and the two assistant officials both surrendered and resigned.

Different from before, this time even the attitude of the two assistant officials has become much more respectful.

"Walk slowly."

Seeing them leave, Song You narrowed his eyes.

I don't know if this City God can do it.

It's just that it's easy to depose a small god, but it's not so simple to depose the Changjing City God. I'm afraid it takes the emperor to do it easily.Even if he is deposed and needs to be replaced, the next candidate is also a problem, and the incense will take time to regroup. Seeing that this City God is weak, but he is not all useless, it is better to let him try.

Just look at a year later.

Calculate the time, cook a breakfast, and it's time to go out to pick up the pillar of the family from get off work.

In fact, in the past few days, Mistress Sanhua has already found her way, and she can go back and forth alone, but she still wants Song You to take her there every afternoon and pick her up in the morning.She picked it up in the morning and said that she didn't know how to count and was worried that those people would count randomly, so she didn't count enough. As for why she had to send it at night, she didn't say.

At this time, the outside has become lively and full of voices.

……

afternoon.

The lady next door came back earlier today.

Knocking on Song You's door, stepped in, looked around, then sat down naturally:

"Have you heard? Last night, in the middle of the night, around four or five o'clock, there was a thunderclap at the East City Gate. Priest in golden armor, there is a monster lying on the ground, isn't it amazing?"

"heard."

"Ok?"

Wu Xia was stunned for a moment, feeling surprised to show off her failure: "Why are you so well-informed? Do you have some kind of way to know the world's affairs without going out?"

"If I had that kind of Taoism, I wouldn't go down the mountain."

"Too……"

Wu Xia waved her hand, not entangled: "I don't know if you have finished catching the monsters. If you have finished catching the monsters, the curfew may be lifted in the palace, so you can take a good look at the prosperity of Changjing... I don't know." What's the use of this curfew, although the monster eats people, but it's not ordinary people, it's really annoying."

There was a slight movement on the stairs.

A cat came down, saw her, stopped at the stairs, yawned, and lay down on the spot.

"Look how tired your house cat is!"

"Thank you for your hard work." Song You said with a smile, "How is the news about the heroine going?"

"I asked people to read a few lists today, and inquired about the news, but it's similar to what I thought before. The ghosts in Changjing City and outside the city will be solved by folk gentlemen and Jianghu people. The monks of Tianhai Temple will also solve the problem. Part of it will be solved, and the rest of the work that no one will take is either too difficult, or the trouble is too little." Wu Xia said, "I don't know much about this, but I also picked two or three of them. I think it’s good, let’s see what you think, let’s choose one.”

"Come next to each other."

"What?"

"Come next to each other."

"Hey!" Wu Xia laughed, "You are not afraid of death and trouble!"

"Absurd, I am most afraid of trouble in my life." Song You said lightly, "But there is nothing left and right. It is not only a matter of eliminating harm for the people, but also has a female hero to assist. It is no harm to try it."

"Then why don't you go and deal with that monster in the city?"

"There are city gods in the city, but not outside the city."

"You still have a reason..."

"Heroine, please tell me!"

"Then let me talk about the most troublesome one first!"

"it is good."
