Ming Dynasty: A hundred-year-old immortal cultivator, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

Chapter 36 This is a fake fairy!

The little boy was confused. He saw that his grandfather suddenly stopped talking and called several times without answering.

"Ah?" The old man finally came to his senses after hearing this.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

Faced with the little grandson's question, the old man did not answer and led the little boy towards home.

Some vague murmurs can be heard in his mouth: "The City God appears? Smell the aroma... Oh, it's probably true, it's true."

"Grandpa, what are you talking about?"

"Me? It's nothing, silly boy. Grandpa is looking for Master Tianyun Guan to ask you to be the godson of the City God."

The old man became more and more excited as he talked.

(Local custom, in some places there is a saying that being a godson to the City God is a good thing and can prevent illness and disaster.)
He didn't know if this was true, but if it was true, it would definitely be good for Xiao Jiu.

"Xiaojiu was attracted by the City God and received his blessing."

"Our family, Xiaojiu, is really blessed by God."

The old man was happy and laughed.

He plans to go back now, go home, take some more money to buy tributes to pay homage to the City God, and tell other people what happened here. The City God will appear and bless their family.

The little boy looked confused.

He was still young and couldn't understand why his grandfather suddenly became very happy.

…….….….….….
Tianyun Temple.

"Is this the residence of the immortal?"

Lu Ben looked at the Tianyun Temple where people were coming and going, and frowned slightly.

"Taoism has always emphasized simplicity since ancient times. It is even said among the people that the Three Purities only need clay body, but the Buddha needs gold plating."

"They are a group of Taoist priests who have simplicity written into their bones, but what about now? That immortal rules the Taoist temple, but spends so extravagantly, looking a bit like a Taoist master?"

Lu Ben sneered, full of disdain.

Fu Youwen next to him was automatically immune to these words.

On the way here, he had already heard Lu Ben talking about the bad things about the immortals along the way.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let me and Deputy Supervisor Lu leave now."

Fu Youwen spoke to Jin Yiwei who was leading the way.

The Jin Yiwei saluted and then slowly withdrew.

but,
Halfway back, I seemed to think of something.

Turn back.

"My lords, do you want to know something strange?"

Lu Ben and Fu Youwen were stunned, and then Lu Ben said: "But it doesn't matter."

Jin Yiwei nodded and said, "Half an hour ago, an old man and his grandson left the City God's Temple. The old man kept saying that the City God had appeared. It doesn't look like he was cheating."

"I and other Jin Yiwei also checked his background. He has a clean background and has nothing to do with Longhu Mountain."

Jin Yiwei could even take the casual words of people on the road to heart and find out his background and life experience in half an hour.

Such efficiency and speed are exactly why the Jin Yiwei is so timid when hundreds of officials hear about it, and even calls them Eagle Dogs in private.

Li Shanchang, who was as powerful as he was back then, was also afraid of Jin Yiwei. At that time, he just had a luxurious meal at home. If he ate too much roast chicken and duck, Zhu Yuanzhang would know about it and beat him the next day.

They are almost everywhere and know everything.

Many times, it is the camera of the Ming Dynasty.

"The City God has appeared?"

Fu Youwen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, we'll know."

Jin Yiwei saluted and left.

After he left, Fu Youwen thought for a while and said suspiciously: "Deputy Supervisor Lu, Jinyiwei never tells lies." "They said that the City God appeared, so they couldn't be unreasonable. I'm afraid this place... is really not simple."

Lu Ben's eyes flashed solemnly, but he quickly lost his temper and said: "Charlatanism! Most people are stupid, how easy is it to deceive them? Ha..."

With a flick of his sleeves, Lu Ben walked into Tianyun Temple.

Fu Youwen behind him had worries in his eyes, sighed, and quickly followed.

Enter the Chenghuang Temple.

Perhaps there were workers repairing it, or perhaps the disciples of Tianyunguan helped divert traffic and burn incense. There were many pilgrims.

Lu Ben and Fu Youwen waited for a long time before arriving in front of the statue of the City God.

Looking at the statue, Lu Ben frowned slightly: "Why does this city god look like your majesty?"

"I remember that this was not the case before. Could it be that... Hehe, I know, but I didn't expect that Taoism has also been polluted by worldly tendencies. The so-called immortals here are just to please His Majesty, so they have such a status?"

"Haha, look at them. In order to please His Majesty, they even changed the idols to look like His Majesty to improve His Majesty's status. This is really... a Taoist stain."

Lu Ben kept shaking his head.

Although Fu Youwen was surprised by the appearance of this Buddha statue, he was not as extreme as Lu Ben.

He thought, this must have other meanings from the immortal!
"Deputy Superintendent Lu, would you like to pay your respects to the City God?"

Even though he is here, he would rather believe his presence than his absence. Fu Youwen is ready to bow down.

Lu Ben sneered: "I believe in gods, but I never worship false gods."

Fu Youwen sighed: "Then wait for me and I'll bow down."

Fu Youwen went to burn incense, worshiped the gods solemnly and burned incense paper.

After finishing this, they asked the disciples of Tianyun Temple about the whereabouts of the temple master.

The disciples of Tianyun Temple brought the two of them to the door and asked, "Are you two asking about the timing of rain?"

On the way, he asked the two of them why they were there, and found out that they were here to pray for rain.

Fu Youwen nodded: "Yes, I'm sorry to trouble you, Taoist Priest."

The Tianyun Temple disciple responded with a smile, and then prepared to walk towards the room, but was stopped by Lu Ben.

"and many more."

Lu Ben stopped him and said angrily: "I and Fu Shilang are officials of the imperial court. They came to ask the new eunuch what he meant. Could it be that we can't even meet him in person?"

The disciple of Tianyun Temple smiled and said: "It is inconvenient for the temple master to see guests today."

Lu Ben snorted coldly: "Huh, so majestic!"

Fu Youwen quickly stopped him: "Deputy Superintendent Lu, that's enough, that's enough. Taoist priest, go quickly, I'm here."

The Tianyun Temple disciple nodded and then walked towards the room.

Lu Ben was still resentful at this moment: "Master Fu, why are you stopping me? This new prisoner has an official position similar to ours, but he doesn't even meet us. He clearly looks down on us, and you still speak for him?"

Fu Youwen said with a smile: "Deputy Superintendent Lu, you are an immortal, it is normal to be a little mysterious. Let's not worry about it. We will wait for the result."

Lu Ben rolled his eyes: "The result? What other results can there be?"

"This matter is big enough. Yang Jianzheng and I have calculated it through Feng Shui a few days ago. There will be no rain in the next month. All the capable people in Qin Tianjian have calculated the same result."

Fu Youwen still smiled and said: "As I said before, Deputy Superintendent Lu, we will wait for the result."

….….…….….….
the other side,
After the disciples of Tianyunguan entered the room, they informed Lu Ben of their intention.

"Pray for rain?"

Zhu Changye thought for a while and said with a smile: "Yingtian Mansion really needs a rain now."

A disciple of Tianyun Temple asked: "Master of the temple, can we pray for rain?"

Zhu Changye nodded: "That's right. You go back and tell them that it will rain tomorrow and the time..."

Zhu Changye paused.

Time, when is the best time?
