I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 496: The cause and effect of the past
"Don't dare, don't dare..."

"I won't say any more polite words. In fact, I'm preparing to go to see Lord Cheng Huang in a few days." Song You said, "The first is to retrieve the two paintings that are temporarily stored in Lord Cheng Huang. I'm afraid I won't leave Changjing this time. Then I won’t come back again, and there will be no need to trouble Lord City God anymore.”

"Sir, you have broken the little god..."

"The second thing is that I want to discuss something serious with Lord Cheng Huang."

"What's the matter?"

When the old city god heard this, he was stunned.

Then his eyes sparkled, and he thought quickly, but as soon as he stood up, he put all his thoughts aside, stood up, and handed him over with a solemn expression:

"The reason why a little god is what he is today is firstly because of the guidance and good fortune given by Mr. Yu, and secondly because of the incense and popular support of the people. Mr. Yu Qing has been very kind to me, so I should do my best for him. Mr. Yu Li is the one who is good at it. Standing on the side of the mortal world and the people, he has always done his best for the mortal world. This is where the little god’s current popularity comes from.”

"Lord Cheng Huang, things are really different now."

"Mr. praises..."

"I am far from trying my best. But now that the world has changed, there may be great chaos in the future. Troubled times are most likely to spawn evil spirits and harm the world. I do have some arrangements, and I need the help of Lord City God."

"I will do my best! I will not give up even if I die!"

The old city god still stood and saluted him.

The two auxiliary officers behind him also experienced the sweetness of being respected and loved as gods, and upon seeing this, they immediately followed suit and saluted:

"I will do my best! I will not give up even if I die!"

"Masters, please don't be nervous. Let's sit down and talk first." Song You smiled and said to them, "I'm not asking you to go up mountains of swords, go down into seas of fire, and fight with the heavenly palace and the imperial court. It is indeed a bit troublesome. I want you to spend some time. It takes effort and time, but correspondingly, it will also be of great benefit to you.”

When Lord Cheng Huang and the two assistant officers heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief, but became even more curious.

"I don't know..."

"Nowadays, evil spirits are everywhere everywhere, either disturbing or harming people's livelihood. We have seen a lot of them along the way this year, and we have eliminated a lot of them. However, it is only a drop in the bucket." Song You said, "I heard that Changjing is under the supervision of the City God. Under governance, there aren’t many evil things happening.”

"Thanks to the military attachés who patrolled night and night, we also caught a lot of weird and weird monsters and everything. We gained a lot of knowledge."

Lord Cheng Huang said, looking at Song You:
"Mister means..."

"When it comes to keeping a city peaceful and free from evil spirits and evil spirits, there is nothing more suitable than the earth gods. Among the earth gods, the official office of the City God is the most formal. However, there are local land gods in [-] counties in Dayan. But the number of gods is less than [-]%, and most of them are earth gods, road gods, river gods, mountain gods and other earth gods. There are city gods, and I have met less than ten cities."

Song You paused for a moment and then said bluntly:
"I would like to build City God's Temples and City God's Offices all over Dayan before the advent of troubled times, just like the county government, and connect them with the current Fengzhou Ghost City and the future underworld. If completed, the City God's Office in Changjing will be one of the thousands in the world. The chief minister of the Eight Hundred City God Temples, the Lord City God is not only the City God of Changjing City, but also the forerunner of the City Gods of the world. He has put in so much effort and effort, so naturally he should also be the leader of the City Gods of the world."

"..."

The city god and the two assistant officials were shocked when they heard this.

This is really a big deal.

Are there city gods everywhere in the world?

Is it still connected to the ghost town underworld?

Sounds like an awesome start.

It is really troublesome and laborious, but it also contains great benefits.

Not to mention the Changjing City God, by then they would be the auxiliary civil and military officials under the Changjing City God, and their status would naturally rise. I thought that with the guidance and help of this gentleman, I and others began to gain the sincere love and support of the people of Changjing. Worship, the incense is not what it used to be, the god's position is stable, and the divine power is vigorous, it can't be better. It's better than I have ever thought of before. But who would have thought that this person would throw out the words in just a few words? An even more incredible opportunity comes up.

When the heaven and earth are changing, it is indeed necessary to ride on the good wind.

"This matter is troublesome. It needs to be discussed in detail, and it also requires a lot of time and effort from several people. It's too late tonight, so I'd better visit the temple another day and discuss it in detail with Lord City God."

"Then we'll be waiting for you!"

"There is one little thing I want to ask Lord Cheng Huang."

"Oh?"

"It's the former Taiwei's Mansion, the husband and housekeeper of Chang Taiwei's Mansion. Lord Cheng Huang knows about it."

"Oh……"

Cheng Huang only thought about it for a moment, then nodded quickly, and immediately understood what he was going to ask, and said, "Of course I know."

"This incident has spread widely, and it is still talked about by the people of Changjing to this day. If a dandy or even a gangster behaves mischievously, the people will scold him for being punished by the gods and making him deaf and mute." A person behind the City God said. The auxiliary officer also bowed his head and whispered, "Of course we will remember it too."

"I wonder how the husband and the housekeeper are doing?"

"After the death of the Taiwei, the Chang family declined, but they still stayed in Changjing. After all, the Chang family is one of the five families. It has a profound foundation, but it can still be said to be rich and powerful."

I thought that the auxiliary officer should be in charge of most of the political affairs in Dongcheng. At this time, he also answered:

"On the contrary, since that incident, over the years, the husband and the steward have been keeping their peace, doing good deeds diligently, and always giving alms. This year, King Shun led his troops to the capital and promised the soldiers three days of hunting. Although they agreed not to hurt Human life is not allowed to insult women, but these warriors are used to violence, and they are not necessarily easy to restrain once their minds get hot. This husband also ordered that the gate of the mansion be opened to take in the poor people and their belongings nearby. "

"I see."

"Sir, do you have some history with them?"

"Yes."

"Then they may have been waiting for you sir."

"It doesn't matter."

Song You waved his hand with a calm expression: "Since the world is about to change and troubled times are coming, it is not easy to do good, but there is no need to be harsh. Just say good things and don't care about your heart."

"That makes sense." "Do you guys have anything else to do?"

Song You looked at the City God and the two assistant officers.

This time the auxiliary officer did not speak, and the Lord Cheng Huang only replied: "Oh, I came here to pay homage to the gentleman and asked if I would like to send back the two paintings. There is nothing else."

"Then I'll send you off not far away."

"Farewell."

The city god and the two priests left one after another.

A breeze blew on the street, and they disappeared.

The little girl held one side of the small door with each hand, leaned forward, looked left and right for a long time, then retracted and closed the door.

Song You walked upstairs again, and only the voice came:

"Go to bed early and go out for a walk tomorrow morning to end our relationship many years ago."

"Yuanyuan!"

The little girl turned into a cat with a sudden sound and followed him.

The Taoist fell asleep.

The cat was full of energy. Perhaps she was back in this familiar house where she had stayed for the longest time since traveling around the world. She also felt comfortable and happy. She ran upstairs and downstairs several times, jumped up and down, and then ran to the windowsill and outside the window. The swallow told the story of the Taiwei Mansion back then, and I don’t know when he fell asleep.Anyway, when Song You fell asleep, she was only halfway through the story.

……

Early next morning.

Song You got up early, finished washing, and opened the door to take a look.

The door next door actually opened at the same time.

The Taoist and the cat couldn't help but turn their heads to look.

But the person who walked out was no longer a familiar old friend, but a young man who looked like a musician. There was also a woman in the house, standing at the door to see him off.

"..."

Song You withdrew his gaze and lowered his head.

The calico cat at my feet also raised its head.

One person and one cat looked at each other before turning around and closing the door.

He only drank porridge last night and stopped drinking it today. Song You first went to the mutton soup cake shop on the street where he had eaten, and ate a bowl of mutton soup cakes, adding two portions of meat to feed Sanhua Empress and the swallows. , and then slowly walked towards Dongcheng, wandering all the way, looking at Changjing in the early morning, and comparing the difference with before.

Occasionally I see something I want to buy, so I buy a little.

By the way, I chatted with the shop owner and asked the former prince of Dongcheng how many good things he had done. It was a surprise.

It was already noon when I walked to the Taiwei Mansion according to my memory.

Song You stood at the door and looked up.

The Taiwei Mansion, which used to be bustling with people, is now crowded with cars and horses. The two white marble stone lions at the entrance are clean and there are no fallen leaves at the entrance, but it looks even colder.The original signboard of Taiwei Changfu has been replaced by the word Changfu, which tells the story of the ups and downs of Changfu.

However, even the former Taiwei Changfu was actually just a branch of the Chang family, one of the three surnames and the five families.

"Tuk Tuk..."

Song You walked forward and knocked on the door.

Soon footsteps came from inside the door.

"Clang..."

The heavy vermilion door was opened.

There were still three people opening the door inside. A young servant was staring directly at them at the front, and there were two servants behind him to add momentum.

"Who are you looking for, sir?" The young servant was polite and his tone was gentle. He looked at Song You up and down and saw his old Taoist robe, "But you are living in poverty and are here to ask for rice?"

"My surname is Song You, that's polite." Song You smiled and said to him, "Please go in and report that a Taoist and a calico cat are visiting."

"Sir, aren't you here to ask for donations? But you have to tell me who to contact first."

"I'm looking for the husband of the house, and there is a housekeeper named Liu. I don't know if he is still a housekeeper."

"The housekeeper's surname is indeed Liu, but the husband you mentioned..." The young servant paused and looked at him in confusion, "My master is still young and has no heirs, so where can I find the husband?"

"Oh, he was the husband of the Taiwei's house six or seven years ago. I think he is now the head of the family."

"..."

When the young servant heard what he said, he felt that it didn't look like he was lying. It was probably that the master and the steward were old acquaintances, so he just said "Wait a moment" and hurriedly ran back.

Only two servants were left standing inside the door, looking at the door and at the Taoist and the cat. They looked at them from time to time and looked at the cat.

There were older servants passing by the door, and some guests who had not yet left the Chang Mansion were curious to see. When they saw the Taoist and the calico cat outside the door, they all froze in place as if they had seen ghosts and gods.
