The most famous person in Jieshi is the King of Three Mountains.
Commonly known as the Three Princes.
This is a local folk god in Jiexi, but the belief has spread quite widely. There are temples offering sacrifices not only in Nghe An area, but also in western Guangxi, Fujian, and even across the Taiwan Strait.
Now, to some extent, it has become a link to maintain harmonious relations between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
The three mountains refer to Dushan in the north of Hepo Town, Jiesi County, Mingshan in the southwest and Jinshan in the east.
The three mountain kings are actually mountain gods.
Legend has it that during the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty, miracles occurred in these three mountains, and they were worshiped by local people. In the Tang Dynasty, Han Yu was demoted as the governor of Yi'an. When floods continued and the people were in dire straits, he prayed to the "King of the Three Mountains". After three days of rain, the sky cleared up, and Han Yu worshiped the three mountains as gods. In the Song Dynasty, he was posthumously named king by the emperor.
The above may have elements of making up stories in order to give the gods they believe in an orthodox status.
However, given that the development context of Sanshan King's belief is relatively clear and is not harmful, since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the government has mostly adopted a tacit attitude and allowed it to develop.
In today's Sanfu villages in Ngee An, the three mountain kings are generally regarded as social gods, also called local gods. Basically, there is one temple in one village.
Outsiders may feel that the feudal and superstitious atmosphere in Ngee Ann is too strong.
However, local people in Ngee Ann feel that they respect their ancestors first and gods secondly.
And it is based on pragmatism.
In the minds of the people of Nghe An, worship comes to worship, piety comes to piety, but the essence of the relationship between man and God is a fair transaction. I will give you incense and offerings, and you will make me safe and prosperous.
If you bless me and wish me success, then I will believe in you.
Sorry if you are of no use to me.
It is quite common in Nghe An to whip the gods, drag the statues on the ground, and tear off the beards and hair of the statues.
For example, the Yanzao area.
"We went to the temple to worship God and pray for blessings. When we threw the Holy Grail, we asked if we could return it with a chicken at the end of the year. If not, we would add a goose. We would not leave with satisfaction until the Holy Grail was thrown away. "
This is what Chen Jingle heard from a classmate in Ngee Ann before.
I thought it was funny when I first heard it, but when I thought about it more carefully, I found it to be quite wise in dealing with people.
This way of bargaining with the gods demonstrates the pragmatism of the Nghe An people.
I worshiped more gods, and my awe gradually became permanent.
It is said that there were conflicts between two families in the past, which finally came to the attention of King Sanshan.
"Do you dare to say in front of the three princes that you have never done such a thing?"
As soon as these words came out, the other person didn't dare to answer, and finally had to hide his face and leave in despair.
The reputation of the Three Mountain Kings is getting louder and louder.
In Nghe An, there are many people who don't understand the law and don't respect it, but there are very few people who dare to disrespect the master.
"Lord, protect your number" is the most common saying among Ngee Ann people.
It means the blessing of gods.
When Chen Jingle came to Jieshi, he happened to encounter two people confronting each other in front of the statue.
And there were actually security guards involved.
Really rare.
…
Guo Dong is an employee at Jiexi Automobile Inspection Station.
The salary is not high, but the advantage is stability.
In this small county town, having such a job is already very good. I can have a meal from time to time, and occasionally go to wash my feet and get a massage with my friends, which is quite comfortable.
But it is impossible to save money.
He is a frequent visitor to Brilliant Foot Massage, and everyone from the front desk to technicians to managers knows him.
My favorite is Technician No. 88 Xiao Zhang.
Although she is not the prettiest, she has a gentle personality and good temper, and her skills are perfect. When chatting with others, she can always speak to people's hearts.
Guo Dong likes this.
His friend said: "That No. 88 is so good at manipulating people's hearts. She is a perfect green tea girl."
Guo Dong suddenly felt unhappy: "Cha, your sister, where is the tea here? She is clearly my considerate and good sister!"
Men don't like this kind of girl who looks sweet, speaks well, has a gentle personality and is soothing. How can he like a girl who doesn't have a good attitude toward him? His heart is as high as heaven and his life is as thin as paper. If you give her a 1,000 yuan bag, she still thinks it's not a famous brand. Wouldn’t you marry someone with an annual salary of one million? !
So every time Guo Dong went there, he would order this Xiao Zhang.
After more times, the two of them became familiar with each other and knew each other's name, which was Zhang Wenwen.
Most likely it's a pseudonym.
After all, in this business, you have to make up some stories to impress your customers.
Later, Guo Dong started to make excuses to invite Zhang Wenwen out for dinner.
According to regulations, technicians are not allowed to have contact with customers in private.
But Guo Dong added money!
For the same price, you just need to go shopping with him and have a meal.
And it won’t delay work.
For the sake of money, Zhang Wenwen agreed.
No one can refuse the ticket.
After going back and forth like this, the two parties became more and more familiar with each other, almost like good friends.
Guo Dong confided a lot of worries to Zhang Wenwen. Zhang Wenwen not only did not become impatient, but patiently comforted him. This made Guo Dong feel that such a good woman who understands men is rare in the world.
It's a pity that my family is not well-off and I got into this industry.
…
As the relationship between the two becomes closer and closer.
Guo Dong felt that the time was ripe and finally couldn't help but tell the truth: "I like you and I feel very happy being with you. Can you be my girlfriend?"
Zhang Wenwen looked very surprised: "You don't dislike my career?"
Guo Dong waved his hand: "Hey, who hasn't clicked here? Just live your life seriously."
"Do you really like me?" Zhang Wenwen looked hesitant and dubious.
"certainly!"
Guo Dong nodded quickly: "Then are you willing?"
Zhang Wenwen looked hesitant and bit her lip: "Well, let's see how you behave."
There is no direct rejection, is this a joke?
Guo Dong was delighted.
After eating, I wanted to send Zhang Wenwen back, but she refused on the grounds that they were not very familiar with each other.
Since it's not very cooked, maybe it will be cooked after eating a few more times.
With this idea in mind, Guo Dong would look for opportunities to go out for dinner with Zhang Wenwen every now and then during the next period of time.
He was anxious and impatient, but Zhang Wenwen remained calm and composed, speaking vaguely and refusing to reply directly.
You can go shopping, eat and watch movies, and you can accept gifts if you give them, but when it comes to relationships...
Zhang Wenwen would pouted and said: "Let me think about it again. After all, the relationship between men and women is a very serious issue. I can't believe it just after you say "I like you", right? Like and love are not just words." That’s fine, it depends on your sincerity.”
What is sincerity?
A gift!
You don't even give her a gift, but you still have the nerve to say you love her?
Guo Dong was in high spirits: "I will definitely let you see my sincerity!"
The other party gave him a one-stop service in the foot-washing city, and he accompanied him to eat and go shopping there.
When the co-workers who washed his feet found out about this, they all scolded him for being out of his mind.
"I usually advise young ladies to be good, but why the hell do you still plan to marry her?"
The bus is for private use, right?
Anyone with any brains would know that the woman was trying to trick him and advised him to give up and stop his losses as soon as possible.
How could a man like him handle such a woman?
However, Guo Dong just couldn't listen.
Poor Tom, played by women.
…
Guo Dong's monthly salary is limited.
After excluding daily expenses, the remaining money was used to buy gifts to please Zhang Wenwen.
However, Zhang Wenwen never agreed to confirm the relationship with him. She wouldn't even hold his hand, let alone go home and watch the cat do somersaults.
Finally one day, after Guo Dong's savings were all spent, he no longer had any money to buy gifts for Zhang Wenwen.
The woman's face suddenly changed.
"We are just ordinary friends. Please don't pester me all the time, okay? This will have a bad influence. I'm afraid others will misunderstand me."
After Guo Dong said that he had spent all his salary this month and had to wait until next month for food to be paid before he could continue to treat her to dinner and shopping, Zhang Wenwen refused to come out the second time he made an appointment.
"No, I clearly said it well before..." Guo Dong was a little confused.
"What did I say?"
Zhang Wenwen interrupted unceremoniously: "I said it depends on your performance, but I didn't promise you."
Guo Dong didn't understand: "Then I'll treat you to dinner and give you a gift..."
"This is all of your own free will, isn't it?"
Zhang Wenwen was impatient: "Did I force you to treat me to dinner and give me gifts?"
"you--!"
Guo Dong's eyes widened in disbelief.
How could she say such shameless words?
If you don’t want to be my girlfriend, then why are you accepting gifts from me?
Zhang Wenwen sneered and said: "Please, if you really catch up with a woman after eating a few meals and giving some small gifts, then you don't take women seriously, right? Is a girlfriend so cheap? I do a manicure for 300, and a hair 600, shoes 2,000, mobile phone 10,000. Can you afford to support me with your salary?"
"I……"
Guo Dong was at a loss.
It seems as if the wonderful time in the past half month has been like a dream.
This impatient look seemed completely different from the gentle and considerate one before.
Zhang Wenwen had no time to argue with him: "Once again, don't disturb my work and life again, okay?"
After saying that, he tossed his hair, stepped on his high heels, and walked away.
Guo Dong was left standing there, like a silly dog, watching her go away.
…
That night, Guo Dong was drunk.
A man drank a case of beer, vomited halfway through the drink, and came back to drink again after vomiting.
I didn't go to work the next day. I woke up after three o'clock in the morning, called my supervisor to ask for leave, and then lay in bed all day.
"So what you said to me before were all lies to me?"
He couldn't hold back and sent a message to Zhang Wenwen. It turned out that he couldn't send it out, and a big red exclamation mark told him that he had been deleted as a friend.
"Grass!"
Guo Dong was so angry that he almost smashed his phone.
So what is the reason why he has been licking his face to please him for the past half month?
The more I think about it, the more unwilling I am.
In the past, in Muzu City, everything was available for just 598, but when I went out, I spent tens of thousands of dollars, and I didn't even get it.
Finally, he realized that this woman never thought of agreeing to him in the first place. Every time she came out, she would eat, drink, play, and buy things on the way.
Just to drain all the money out of his pocket!
"Okay, you are in the first year of junior high school, then don't blame me for being in the fifteenth year!"
Guo Dong felt furious.
…
At 1 o'clock in the morning, Guo Dong squatted on the roadside.
He waited for Zhang Wenwen to get off work.
When he saw Zhang Wenwen coming out of Muzu City, he followed her from a distance.
The place where this woman lives is an old community with dim street lights. There is also a very dim alley with no street lights in the middle.
When Guo Dong saw this, he immediately rushed forward, covered Zhang Wenwen's mouth and dragged her into the alley.
Zhang Wenwen was suddenly attacked and was so frightened that she beat and struggled desperately.
Guo Dong lowered his voice and cursed.
Zhang Wen heard his voice and struggled even harder.
However, her little strength was not enough in front of Guo Dong, a man who was used to doing manual labor, and she was quickly pushed to the ground for output.
Guo Dong felt so happy.
"You said you came out to do it all alone. Why are you pretending to be in front of me? Huh?"
He didn't notice it at all, and the person underneath gradually became silent. He thought it was because the other party simply recognized the reality and chose to give up resistance.
It wasn't until I felt the body of the person in my arms getting colder and stiffer that I felt something was wrong.
Guo Dong turned Zhang Wenwen over and took a look——
He found that the other party's eyes were bulging and he had been suffocated to death for a long time.
…
Zhang Wenwen didn't come to work.
The manager thought she was sick, but no one answered her phone calls or responded to her messages. When she asked other people who were close to her, no one knew where she was.
As a result, the next day, a shocking news came. Someone found a female body in the Rongjiang River. After being salvaged and identified, the identity of the deceased was determined to be Zhang Wenwen.
How could Zhang Wenwen fall into the river and drown?
Could it be that he was drunk and fell into the water?
The news of Zhang Wenwen's death is sad.
I thought it was just an accidental death, but the Public Security Bureau discovered that the matter was not simple.
They found obvious bruises and strangulation marks on the deceased's body, as well as signs of being raped.
However, in a small place like Jieshi, the Sky Eye system in many areas is not complete, so it is difficult to determine who the murderer is.
the other side.
Guo Dong was very scared at first. After all, it was a murder by mistake. He was afraid that people from the Public Security Bureau would come to his door. He asked his supervisor for two more days of leave and was even prepared to pack up his things and run away.
After waiting for two days, nothing happened.
Immediately he breathed a sigh of relief and went to work as if nothing had happened.
When others jokingly asked him what was going on with Technician No. 88 recently, he pretended to be sad and said: "Forget it, let's not mention it."
He looked deeply shocked, which made everyone laugh. They wanted to tease him a few more times to have some fun, but in the end, this guy didn't even refute, and they felt bored.
…
It's a pity that Skynet is so vast that it is sparse and not leaking.
People from the Public Security Bureau finally came to the door.
Of course, it was just suspicion, and they did not have enough evidence to prove that the person who killed Zhang Wenwen was Guo Dong.
But according to what they learned, Guo Dong and Zhang Wenwen have been very close recently, looking like a couple in love.
This made them feel strange.
After all, they knew exactly who Zhang Wenwen was. They also knew exactly who Guo Dong was.
hiss……
This is a bit outrageous.
Moreover, after Zhang Wenwen's accident, Guo Dong never contacted the other party. It seemed that the two had a good relationship before and it was all fake.
So I decided to come over and ask.
Guo Dong was very calm at first.
He recalled many times that he left no evidence, and even if there was any evidence, it would be washed away after a day of soaking in the river.
So I was quite calm when answering questions.
"I asked her if she wanted to be my girlfriend, and she rejected me. Since she has rejected me, I can't just keep insisting on her, right?"
Guo Dong looked helpless.
The security officer looked at the kid in front of him and felt more and more something was wrong.
Although there was nothing wrong with the other party's answer, his intuition told him that the other party must have lied about some details!
Never doubt a peace officer’s instincts.
Unfortunately, there is insufficient evidence on hand to convict the other party.
"I always feel like that kid is lying!"
After letting Guo Dong leave, the two security guards communicated privately.
"What a coincidence, I think so."
"Then keep an eye on him!"
"..."
…
In the next few days, Guo Dong went to and from get off work normally.
I'm just a little scared in my heart, afraid that things will be exposed, and I will definitely not be able to escape the law.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel like someone is staring at me. But I looked around and found nothing.
This feeling made him feel a little nervous.
"Could it be that that stinky woman's ghost is still alive?"
He shook his head hard.
Absolutely impossible! Where does this world come from? You must be scaring yourself!
As a result, he had nightmares that night.
Dreaming that Zhang Wenwen came back to ask for his life, his eyes widened.
Guo Dong was immediately frightened and woke up. He could no longer sleep. When he closed his eyes, he looked like Zhang Wenwen before she died.
I immediately thought about whether I should find a master to pay homage to, lest someone really follow me.
So he took advantage of today's rest. After dawn, he went out to buy sacrifices and went to the nearby Sanshan King Temple to pay homage.
"I really didn't mean it. Who let her deceive me so miserably..."
While burning the paper, he couldn't help but mutter a few words under his breath.
As a result, the security guard who had been following him suddenly jumped out in anger when he heard this while hiding outside the wall.
"It's really you!"
Guo Dong was horrified when he heard the sound. He turned around and saw the person clearly, and was even more frightened.
Subconsciously I want to run away.
The security officer had sharp eyes and quick hands and grabbed him: "Tell me quickly, how did you kill Zhang Wenwen?"
Guo Dong wanted to escape, so the two started fighting.
The temple is located on the street, and the two people's movements immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.
"what happened?"
"Why did the good guys get into a fight?"
"Isn't this Guo Dong from the testing station?"
"Hey, the other one is a comrade from the Public Security Bureau, right? He looks familiar. I've met him several times."
"..."
Everyone rushed forward to help.
Among the crowd, a handsome boy from Orange County who happened to be passing by was holding a bag of steamed rice dumplings bought at a roadside stall, eating and watching the excitement.
Others couldn't see it, but Chen Jingle could clearly see that Guo Dong was wrapped in strong resentment, and someone was obviously at risk.
He frowned immediately.
"It's not me...I, I didn't..."
Seeing being surrounded by so many people, Guo Dong was sweating profusely and hurriedly denied it.
"You're lying! I just heard it, why are you running if it's not you?"
The security guard was furious and suddenly had an idea: "How dare you say in front of Mr. Sanshan that Zhang Wenwen's death had nothing to do with you?"
Um? !
Chen Jingle's mind turned and he probably understood what was going on.
He calmly injected a ray of divine thought into each of the three statues in the temple.
When Guo Dong heard this, his expression changed slightly. He subconsciously looked up at the statue in the temple, and suddenly felt like he was being stared at by three pairs of sharp eyes.
The three princes all had angry looks on their faces, showing great power and aura.
Guo Dong was already feeling guilty, but now facing the three statues, he subconsciously panicked.
This panic immediately made the comrades of the Public Security Bureau find a breakthrough.
"Say it!"
An angry shout was like a blow to the head.
Guo Dong only felt his head buzzing and his face changed. After a while, he finally gave up struggling, and his whole body was like a deflated balloon.
"I, I didn't mean to..."
As if controlled by some mysterious force, he slowly explained the details of the matter.
The onlookers were in an uproar after hearing this.
The man in front of me is actually a murderer? !
What's even more amazing is that the security guard made him swear in front of the Third Prince before revealing his flaws.
Explosive!
So exciting!
The melon-eating people were so excited that they told their relatives and friends about it. With the help of the Internet, the news spread instantly to all the surrounding towns and towns, and even to the counties of Jieyang.
For a time, the incense in the Three Mountain King Temples everywhere surged, people came and went in an endless stream, and the thresholds were broken.
"Master, protect your number!"
This shows how much Ngee Ann people worship their gods.
"It's worth me cooperating in such a play."
Chen Jingle, who occupied many temples of the Sanshan King's Society, while harvesting a large amount of incense, finally saved enough incense points to exchange for standard armor for his team of Yin soldiers.
…
There are two types of standard instruments that Chen Jingle assigned to the Yin soldiers.
The long one is a spear, and the short one is a wild goose feather knife.
Armor is armor.
Each Yin soldier has a weapon-plus-armor mode. Part of it is a spearman, and part of it is a sword. They will also be matched in pairs when going on missions in the future.
I had already exchanged weapons two days ago, but since I didn't have enough incense points, I didn't rush to exchange them for armor. Anyway, I hadn't been sent on a mission yet.
Let Li Qijun train him first.
After finishing Xunzhou, the incense points were enough, but I was not in a hurry to change them at that time. Nowadays, the popularity of incense in Ngee Ann has skyrocketed. After replacing 5,000 pairs of armors, it is still more than enough. There is no need to worry about the issue of incense points!
So Chen Jingle chose to exchange without hesitation.
According to the calculation of 500 incense points for each standard magic weapon, and the weapons and armor are added together, this is 1,000 incense points for each person. Five thousand soldiers and horses, 5 million incense points were immediately lost.
5000000!
Fortunately, Chen Jingle had saved enough incense points before, otherwise he wouldn't be able to gather all the weapons and armor alone.
It's useless no matter how well trained the Yin soldiers are without any weapons or armor!
"I finally know how Qi Shaobao feels, in order to support the Qi family army, he begged his grandfather and sued his grandmother everywhere, even calling himself Zhang Juzheng's lackey."
After consuming so many incense points at once, Chen Jingle was heartbroken and grimaced.
This kind of soldiers and horses is really not something that ordinary people can afford.
No wonder many small countries don’t even have an army.
Now let's hope that the Yin soldiers' combat effectiveness won't let him down.
"I originally planned to bring 300,000 Yin soldiers to sweep through the underworld, but now it seems that it is enough!"
Not to mention 300,000, even 30,000 is a problem!
Gotta slow down a little bit.
Chen Jingle sighed:
"You still have to work hard to save incense!"
Without hesitation, continue to pounce on other counties.
Puning, Huilai, Tuocheng, Ngee An...
Although there are not many villages in these places, the intensity of incense is far higher than that in other state capitals, which can quickly replenish the incense points consumed by Chen Jinngle.
Just when Chen Jingle turned around and headed north, about to take over Jiaying Mansion, he suddenly received a message from Li Qijun reminding him:
"Lord City God, the training of five thousand Yin soldiers has been completed, please review it!"
(A best-selling recommendation, with an increase of 1.6W in collections and 2,000 orders. Now the average order is 7,500. Thanks to all of you for your love, I shed tears of gratitude and kowtow, Orz! In the new year, I wish everyone good health and everything goes well!)
