"Alas~, the real person may not know that my king has been trapped in the mountain world for thousands of years. He cannot go out to patrol our ancient land, so I feel sad here." The King of Yue just sighed and did not give an explanation. However, at this time, He knelt straight and took up the injustice for his Yue King.
"Oh, why is this?" Hunyun really didn't know why the King of Yue couldn't leave this area, but he thought that this should be a restriction of being a city god. It's just that the City God, as the name suggests, should have jurisdiction over the entire area of their city. Sitting in this position, you can't go to other places, but the city area should be unobstructed. Why can't he leave the Fushan realm!
"Oh, it's because my king is only the King of Yue, not the City God. Although he has gradually taken over the responsibilities of the City God recently, it is always unjust and unjust. The soldiers under his command can travel throughout the city and carry out handovers with the underworld, but However, the king of my family can only live in this mountain and is not allowed to leave the territory under his jurisdiction. I was lucky enough to meet the Taoist Master today, and I just want to ask the real person to apply for the title and seek the position of City God for my king. I wonder if the real person is willing to help. If successful, my family The king will definitely not be a stingy person." Wen Zhong helped King Yue express his pain in one breath and made a promise, but Hunyun didn't care at all.
To be honest, as an out-and-out Yuezhou native, I have heard the story of the King of Yue since I was a child. The ending of Fan Li’s literary works is also deeply rooted in my heart and has become a model that will be passed down through the ages! So he really didn't want to care about the benefits, but for the position of City God, he was not stingy about helping him. It's just that he is also soft-spoken, and he doesn't know where the confidence in the monarch and his subjects comes from, knowing that he, a Taoist priest, can influence the decisions of those in power.
"King Yue, Minister Wen, do you think too highly of Pindao? Pindao is just an unknown monk. How can he influence the decision-making of government departments? I'm afraid you will be disappointed!" Hunyun Although I didn't refuse, and I didn't want to refuse, I knew that I didn't have the ability. It was better to refuse now than to have trouble later.
"Haha, of course I invited the Taoist priest here because he has this ability." King Yue stood up from the floor, came to Hunyun's desk, clasped his fists and bowed in a big salute. "I hope the Taoist priest can help me!"
Hunyun quickly stood up and avoided it, not daring to accept his salute. "King Yue, please don't do this again. I don't dare to be such a great gift as a king. Isn't this embarrassing for me! Now that you have thought of a way, please speak up. If I can do it, it will be my duty!"
Now that the words have come to this point, Hunyun naturally no longer fights with King Yue and the others. He wanted to help each other, so there was no need to waste each other's time, so he readily agreed. I just don’t know what method the King of Yue thought of to influence the decision-making of government departments.
"Taoist Master, please look at what this is!" Wen Zhong also stood up, walked in front of Hunyun, and raised a seal for Hunyun to see.
"The Seal of Lifting the City God!" Hunyun was shocked. This was the Seal of Lifting the City God. With this seal in his hand, he could already exercise the power of the City God. Why did the King of Yue need to invite him? Hunyun was extremely confused. "King Yue, with this seal in your hand, you can get the position of City God at your fingertips. Why do you want me to help you?"
"Master, please take a closer look!" Wen Zhong carefully handed the Chenghuang Siyin into Hunyun's hands and pointed at the Daoyin with a wry smile.
"Yeah~" Hunyun understood instantly. The Seal of the City God is indeed the Seal of the City God, but due to the passage of time, this Dao Seal has lost its spiritual energy and has become an ordinary seal.
"Does the King of Yue want Pindao to refine his spirit for him?" Hunyun asked.
"Of course!" replied the King of Yue. "Gu Ye will compensate you for all the losses caused by the Taoist priest." He waved his hand and saw Wen Zhong take out a wooden box from behind the screen of his throne. After taking it, he handed it to Hunyun. "These are three spiritual stones that Gu got by accident seven hundred years ago. They were of no use to Gu and other gods, so they were given to the Taoist. I think this can also compensate for the loss of the Taoist's true energy!"
It seems that the King of Yue is indeed very sincere. He even gave a thank you gift in advance. It seemed that he had already figured out Hunyun's thoughts, so he simply placed all his bets and waited for Hunyun's decision.
Hunyun naturally would not refuse. In fact, there is no need to talk about spiritual stones. He actually has no shortage of spiritual energy at the moment. It is just that the spirit of the Dao Seal must be refined by him. I just don’t know if His Highness the King of Yue is willing to be bound by him in the future. Hunyun didn't know what he was thinking, but as a king, when he thought about it, he knew how difficult it was. This person is a man who is willing to work hard and endure hardships!
"The King of Yue knows that if he wants to imbue this Seal of the City God with spirit, it must be refined by Pindao. From now on, even if Pindao returns this seal to your highness, it will still be bound by Pindao. The King of Yue can imagine Are you aware of the relationship between this?"
"Haha~, since Gu took out this Seal of the City God and handed it over to the Taoist Priest, he has naturally considered it carefully. Even if the Taoist Priest takes it for refining, he does not need to return it to me. From now on, once the Taoist Priest has his destiny , these three thousand Yue soldiers are willing to serve the Taoist leader, even if they die!" The King of Yue obviously understood the relationship, but he still took it out without hesitation. He didn't know where he got the confidence, thinking that Hunyun was not It will be detrimental to him. You must know that once Hunyun masters the seal of the city god, it is equivalent to controlling the right to enfeoff the city god. Once he changes his mind and appoints other gods, he will have no way to oppose it.
But Hunyun also knew that he was not such a person.
He took the seal and the spirit stone, smiled at the King of Yue and said, "Since the King of Yue trusts Pindao so much, Pindao has no choice but to resign. I will retire today and wait until the Tao seal is refined in the future to meet the King of Yue again. I want to come. This day is not too far away!"
"Taoist Master Hunyun, may I ask if this seal can be refined on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?" Wen Zhong stood aside and noticed the hint from the King of Yue to him, so he raised his hand and asked Hunyun carefully. got up.
"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, does the King of Yue want to complete the enfeoffment of the City God on this day? It is not difficult for me, but the king knows that the appointment of the City God is of great importance, and it cannot be accomplished by just you and me. If The modern government doesn't recognize it. Even if you and I forcibly block it, it will be useless. Therefore, if the king has a way, he might as well use some help on those parents and officials and bring their appointments with them. This is justifiable. "
"As for Pindao, please rest assured. The refining of this City God Si Seal is not difficult, and it only takes three or two days. You don't have to worry!" Hunyun's words are also sincere words. Since ancient times, Since then, the city god, the land god, and the mountain god Hebo have all been enfeoffed by the government. Those who have been enfeoffed privately by the people are called obscene worshipers. If they are disobedient, they will be exterminated. Although the King of Yue has a respected position in Yuezhou and will not be suppressed at will, he is still justified.
"I understand what the Taoist Master means. The Guhui and the government will take care of everything, so the Taoist Master can rest assured." The King of Yue assured Hunyun with a smile. It seems that he has already understood the rationale and should have discussed it with the government departments. Otherwise, how could there be this year’s Chenghuang Temple Fair? This is preliminary preparation.
Only then did Hunyun realize that he was also stupid. It was only now that he came to his senses about such an obvious question, and he had solemnly suggested it to His Highness the King of Yue just now. Just thinking about it makes me blush. Fortunately, this king is also a member of the city government, and Prime Minister Wen is also a man who can punt, so his expression is very calm, without any abnormality.
"In this case, Pindao will say goodbye!" Hunyun ran away a little disappointed. He bowed his hands to King Yue, walked out of the door, and returned to the real world.
The phone rang immediately. It was his daughter Xu Yue's. He pressed the answer button.
"Hello!"
"Dad, where are you now? I called you several times and they all said you are not in the service area. Where have you been?"
"Haha, there is no signal where I just went, so of course you can't get through. I'll be at the foot of the mountain soon. Where are you? I'll come find you."
"I'm already at the intersection of Cangqiao Straight Street. My classmates have already left. I'm waiting for you here."
"OK, I'll be there soon." Hunyun hung up the phone and walked quickly, reaching the intersection in less than three minutes.
