Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 50 City God!Gods do exist!
Time passed day by day, and soon more than a month passed. As the search failed, the strict security around the place was gradually withdrawn. Su Hao basically didn't go to the gazebo at the intersection of Ding's house, only a few yamen servants were left pretending , As for the boatmen, they can only continue to suffer if the government doesn't open their mouths. Many boatmen chose to leave the ferry and go to the city to work as servants for others.

...

On the other hand, Su Hao came to the Town God's Temple in the county. In a city, the busiest place is always around the Town God's Temple, because in the eyes of ordinary people, whether it is Confucius Temple or Guandi Temple, they are all supported by their families. It is a place that only rich and noble families who are scholars or warriors often go to. Ordinary people probably don't go there once a year.

The Town God's Temple is different. In the eyes of ordinary people, the Town God's Temple is a "family temple". People will come to the Town God's Temple if they want to have good weather in life or other miscellaneous wishes, which also creates prosperity around the Town God's Temple.

Of course, Su Hao didn't come here to make a wish. As a heretical magician, he only believed in himself. He came here to find someone this time.

As the Town God's Temple in Shangqiu County, it is natural that the incense is at its peak. Even if it is not the first or fifteenth day of the lunar new year, there is still an endless stream of people who come to worship incense in the Town God's Temple, and the temple is surrounded by green smoke.

As soon as he stepped into the Temple of the City God, Su Hao felt an inexplicable force pressing on him, and the source of this force was the statue of the City God in the main hall. Su Hao knew that it was the City God staring at him !
There is one thing recorded in the travel notes of several generations of Su family ancestors. In this world, gods really exist!
It's just that for some unknown reason, the gods never intervene in the affairs of the world, and the deeds of the gods appearing in various places are basically man-made.

"This layman, my tutor is here to invite you!"

At this time, a young man dressed as a Taoist priest came to Su Hao and bowed to him.

"Please lead the way!"

Su Hao also offered to return the gift. He knew that it was the City God who notified Miao Zhu, but this time he came to find Miao Zhu, so naturally he would not refuse.

"Layman, please!"

A young man walks ahead.

Arriving at the back hall, an old man dressed as a Taoist priest who also wore a gown knew that he was waiting here. It was Zhu Mengyan from the Town God's Temple in Shangqiu County.

When he saw that the person who came in was Su Hao, the new arrester from Shangqiu County, Meng Yan also looked dazed, but he quickly came back to his senses, smiled and bowed and said, "It turned out to be the arrester Su, but the old man thought it was him." Where did Comrade Fang come to my City God Temple?"

"I hope the old man won't be offended by the abrupt interruption."

Su Hao returned a salute with a smile. Although Meng Yan's master and apprentice were dressed as Taoists, they were actually not from the Taoist sect. To be honest, Miao Zhu, like him, belonged to heretic sorcerers. The gods, also known as "God Fighters" and "Spirit Boys" among the people, the better the relationship with the gods, the more divine power they can borrow.

"Shen Da" is a technique rather than a method, and it is not self-cultivation. "Shen Da" is the most widely spread Taoist orthodox magic among heretics. The Su family also has it, but the people of the Su family have never practiced it.

The power of the "Shen Da" technique comes from the gods enshrined, which are divided into three classes according to the objects of worship. The highest class is the righteous gods of Taoism or Bodhisattva Arhats of Buddhism, such as Guan Gong, Erlang God, and Eighteen Arhats. There is not much hidden danger in the divine power borrowed from him.

The second class is gods such as City God, Land, and Yin Siguan. The power that these gods can borrow is relatively weak, and the side effects are much greater, which will cause physical weakness.

However, the power of these two kinds of gods is not something you can borrow by enshrining them. Those who can borrow divine power from Taoist orthodox gods and Buddhist Bodhisattva Arhats are basically people of Taoism or Buddhism or are favored by orthodox gods. There are geographical restrictions, outside the jurisdiction of the city god and the land, you can't borrow divine power, and if you want to borrow power from the city god and the land, you can only become a temple.

The lowest level is to enshrine some wild gods or lonely ghosts. If you enshrine these things, you can only ask for blessings. If you meet a kind person, at most you will die; The whole family may die, and even reincarnation is a luxury.

The reason why the members of the Su family don't practice is because they can't climb the thighs of those righteous gods, and there are too many restrictions such as temple blessings, which are not what the Su family wants, and they borrow from gods such as city gods and land. His divine power is not very strong, at most comparable to some second-rate warriors, and the Su family doesn't think much of it either.

"I don't know what the so-called catcher Su came to find the old man?"

At this time, Meng Yan's voice sounded again.

"Old man, I have just arrived in Shangqiu County, and I want to buy some cultivation items, but I am not familiar with Shangqiu County, so I would like to ask the old man to recommend it for you."

Su Hao smiled and cupped his hands, then casually took out a small twelve-weight gold bar from his sleeve and put it on the table.

Although Meng Yan, as the temple concubine of the Town God's Temple, basically couldn't get out of the one-third-acre land in Shangqiu County, but Meng Yan had stayed in Shangqiu County for decades, and he couldn't hide all the big and small things in Guide Mansion from him.

"Captor Su is too polite."

Meng Yan accepted the little gold bars with a smile: "The most well-connected family in Guide Mansion is the Lu family. The Lu family has Fengshui and has friends all over the world. If Su Tutou wants to buy things for his cultivation, he can go to the Lu family in the prefectural city to have a look. .”

"I also hope that the old man can introduce it on his behalf."

Hearing this, Su Hao clasped his hands and said, the twelve taels of gold can't just be changed by name, Meng Yan has to be his guide, any heresy circle of magicians is quite exclusive, even if they have money, they have to have someone Lead the way, otherwise it won't be so easy to get in.

"It's natural."

Meng Yan nodded and smiled, "Su Tutou will come here again tomorrow morning, and the old man will personally take Su Tutou to visit Lu's house."

For him, this is just a matter of little effort. Of course, the reason why he agreed to lead the way for Su Hao so easily is because of Su Hao's status as a captor. It's not easy to be a guide. If you lead a thief to Lu's house , not only his reputation will be bad, but the Lu family will not let him go.

"Then please, old man."

Su Hao surrendered. As the Su family is an ancestral heretic family, he naturally knows the risk of being a guide.

After inquiring with Meng Yan about the situation of the leftist circle in Guide Mansion, Su Hao got up to leave.

...

The next day.

Su Hao washed up early and came to the Town God's Temple. At this time, Meng Yan had already prepared the carriage. Although the prefecture is not far from Shangqiu County, but Meng Yan is old, and it is impossible for him to be the same as a young man like Su Hao. It will take an hour or two to withstand the rapid bumps of riding a horse and think of Fucheng.
