It is said that during the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang believed deeply in the city gods. He divided the city gods into four levels: capital, prefecture, state, and county.
The City God's Temple in Nanjing is the City God's Temple. At that time, Nanjing was called Yingtianfu and was the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, there is also a saying that this is the capital city god of the world, and the city god here is the boss of all the city gods in the world.
But later the Chenghuang Temple in Nanjing was destroyed by the war and has long since disappeared.
In other words, there is actually no city god in Nanjing now.
So, where is the local city god judge that Zhu Er mentioned?
But this question was not important. I was just curious and didn't ask any more questions, so I called out the man in the top hat, Liu Zhongjian.
Zhu Er took out the release order on the spot and read it over. The two imps he brought were the City God's men. Liu Zhongjian knelt on the ground and cried bitterly and thanked him, and then he was taken out by the two imps.
As for what kind of process he will go through next and how to get to the underworld, that is not my concern.
Now I can't wait to grab Zhu Er and ask him carefully what happened in the past few months and why the church was suddenly closed.
But he obviously didn't want to say anything more to me. He just told me: everything is the best arrangement.
After that, he told me another piece of bad news.
He said that on the eighth day of the next month, my aunt should leave.
The due date was supposed to be March 3rd this year, but she was kind-hearted and protected by our Wumen Mansion Immortal Family, so her life was extended for a few more months.
Now, there is no way to delay it any longer.
In the past few months, I have occasionally called home to ask about my aunt.
Every time my aunt told me that she was fine and told me not to worry about her.
But I know her days are numbered, and I feel very nervous every time I call her, fearing there will be some bad news.
Now I heard that my aunt was leaving on the eighth day of the lunar month next month. Although I had been prepared, I was still shocked.
Today is the 23rd day of the sixth lunar month, which means that my aunt has less than a month to live.
To be more precise, there are only ten days left.
This is undoubtedly very bad news for me.
The five guardian gods came out to meet with me this time, which further strengthened my idea: It seems that the day when I am unblocked is really coming soon.
The next day, it will be the day I leave the detention center.
People in this place come and go, and everyone meets each other by chance, but there is nothing to say.
Only Liu Dong was reluctant to part with me, saying that he had nothing to give me, and he was not allowed to bring anything into the detention center. He could only give me a phone number so that I could contact him in the future.
He walked me to the door, and I smiled and told him not to drink and drive again, otherwise I would be sent to the detention center again.
He smiled mysteriously and said that our acquaintance with me was actually fate, because at his level, he was a drunk driver, so he should be sent to a detention center instead of a detention center.
But his drunk driving had no consequences. He was caught as soon as he got on the road. An old classmate happened to be in charge of this, so he was caught driving under the influence.
When I heard this, I suddenly realized that although this was against the rules, I had to say that the encounters between people really seemed to be arranged secretly.
That Zhao Fake Certificate also gave me his phone number. He was obviously not in good spirits these past two days, but he was still very dedicated and told me that if I need any certificates in the future, just ask him, and I guarantee it will be the same as the real one...
After leaving the detention center, these three days of life were like waking up from a big dream. It seemed to go by very slowly, but in fact it happened in a blink of an eye.
To my surprise, Zhuang Yuwei was waiting for me outside the detention center.
For three whole days, she stayed here.
As I guessed, this is a place protected by national law. She abides by the rules and cannot enter without permission, but she always stays outside.
Because she has already connected with me, if I am in any danger, she will sense it immediately.
Although she didn't say it explicitly, I knew that if something really happened, she would dare to break into even a sea of fire and a mountain of swords, let alone a detention center.
I took a taxi home, took a shower first, then called Cheng Guiyi, and Lao Yu and his wife had a big meal together to catch themselves up.
Halfway through the meal, I said one thing to them.
I plan to arrange all my work and chores in the next two days, and then I will go home.
Cheng Guiyi was puzzled and asked me why I suddenly wanted to go home when I was fine.
I sighed and told them about my aunt's serious illness.
My aunt is the only person I am closest to in the world. I want to go back and see her off for the last time.
They were silent for a moment, and Lao Yu gave me a piece of fish and said, "It's time to go back. Big things are not as important as relatives. In the future, whether I'm in my hometown or not, if I want to eat a mushroom lady, sticky bean buns Ah, cantaloupe, you can also mail it to us."
Old Yu's wife also smiled and said: "You only know how to eat, Xiaofan. After you go back, if you need our help with anything, just say it. If you want the duck blood vermicelli soup here, come over and eat. Sister-in-law We’ll reimburse you for your ticket and all your food and accommodation will be included.”
I was a little touched, and judging from their words, they had already guessed that once I left, they probably wouldn't come back to work.
I promised them wholeheartedly. I said that during the Dragon Boat Festival, I would send you rice dumplings from my hometown, and during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I would send you mooncakes from my hometown.
Anyway, feel free to tell me what you want to eat.
Lao Yu was also very happy. He said that although these things are also available in the south, they are completely different from those in the northeast. No matter where he goes, the taste of his hometown is the most friendly.
Cheng Guiyi waited for a long time before interjecting. Although he and I met late, we still had a heart-to-heart relationship. He told me that if his parents are still like before, he will go to the Northeast to apprentice with me and follow me. Go out together.
I laughed loudly and said to him: "No problem, if you really go, my master will become my master's wife. But no matter what, you have to finish college for me and then talk about it."
In fact, in my heart, I don’t want him to take this path, but everyone has his own destiny. He can’t change anything, and I can’t change anything either. Everything can only go as it comes.
After telling me about this, I felt relaxed. When Cheng Gui asked me about my life in the detention center, I didn't hide anything and told the story about the man in the top hat.
They all listened attentively. After finishing the lecture, I asked Lao Yu, there is no longer a city god in Nanjing, so where did the hell god in my hall get the order to release the city god?
Lao Yu said: "Who told you that if there is no City God's Temple in the world, the City God will not exist?"
I asked him out of curiosity: "If the temple is gone, where will the City God's Association have its office?"
Old Yu stretched out a finger, pointed to the sky, and said four words.
"The Void Dharma Realm."
