As a provincial capital, Yongcheng has its advantages.
There are many delicious foods, abundant and cheap fruits, the environment is suitable for settlement, etc.
However, there are many areas for criticism.
For example, in the eyes of other state capitals, Yongcheng, which has developed with the efforts of the whole province, is half-dead, only sucking blood, and has failed to make a fortune with its brothers.
For example, in the eyes of local people, Yongcheng has low wages, high consumption, and high housing prices. It is obviously a third-tier city, but it is always on par with first-tier cities.
As an outsider, Chen Jingle’s most obvious feeling about Yongcheng is that there are so many electric vehicles here.
Except for a few cities where motorcycles are prohibited, most cities allow motorcycles to be on the road, but no city is as exaggerated as Yongcheng.
In front of the intersection, the green light turns on, and the scene of hundreds of electric vehicles starting off at the same time is very spectacular.
From time to time, I would see a spirited young man driving several girls in an electric car flying past. The car drivers waiting in line at the traffic lights on the motorway next to them were silent when they saw this scene, wondering where they had lost.
Before the promotion of Mandarin, Yongcheng was a vernacular area, and older locals could basically speak vernacular, while Nanpu was actually a product of the promotion of Mandarin.
After the popularization of Mandarin, Yongcheng became a veritable immigrant city, home to 48 ethnic minorities and a population of nearly 9 million, accounting for nearly one-fifth of the province's permanent population.
In such a complex city, if something happens and it cannot be dealt with in time, the impact will definitely be huge when it ferments.
…
Yongcheng is a basin terrain centered on the vast canyon of the Yongjiang River.
Since the water system in the territory is developed and there are many tributaries, the folk beliefs here are mainly based on various water gods.
For example, the Fubo Temple in Jiangnan District is dedicated to Ma Yuan, the Fubo general who conquered Jiaozhi in the past.
For example, the Five Saints Palace in Yongning District is dedicated to Beidi Zhenwu, Mazu Queen, Dragon Mother, General Fubo and Feng Sanjie, all of whom have the function of water gods.
However, although there are many water temples along the Yongjiang River, it cannot prevent the Yongjiang Bridge from becoming the place with the most suicides and drownings in Yongcheng.
According to incomplete statistics, at least more than two hands of people die under this bridge every year.
This has led to more and more folk legends and strange stories about the Yongjiang Bridge.
As for whether there is any problem...
Well, all I can say is, believe in science.
The water in the Yongjiang River is very fast, and there are some things that even the government's A-level tricksters can't solve. They can only warn citizens not to swim in the river.
No matter what, there will always be people who can't think of jumping off the bridge.
Anyone who jumps will basically not survive.
The deep river water seems to be hiding a great terror.
Of course, this kind of terror is only for the ordinary citizens of Yong City.
When Chen Jingle passed by, the entire Yongjiang River became clean, and all the things that even the government's A-level conspirators couldn't handle were sent to the underworld.
Who dares to make a mistake in front of the City God? !
…
The first time Chen Jingle stepped into Yongcheng, the staff of the Civil Affairs Department immediately discovered some special changes.
As the director of the provincial civil affairs branch, Yang Yuan suddenly became nervous after receiving the news.
"He's coming!"
In an instant, the entire provincial capital branch became nervous.
To be honest, everyone has been waiting for this day for a long time.
Although it has only been a few months since that person entered Guang C territory, but looking forward to it every day, it feels like time has passed very long.
Everyone hopes that the god will directly station in Yong City and become the city god like Guangnan next door, so that the entire Guang C can be protected and there will be no more weird troubles.
Oh, I almost forgot, the standard of the city god in Yongcheng is one level lower, there is only the Fucheng God Temple.
No matter what happens, as long as the entire Guang C can be protected by the God, Yang Yuan feels that it doesn't matter whether he, the branch director, does it or not.
Seek his own government in his position.
As the head of the civil affairs branch of a province, the pressure brought by the strange recovery on Yang Yuan was too great.
What's more, in a place like Guang C, in addition to being weird, there are other messy things, which is really tiring.
In the past three years, Yang Yuan's hair has turned from black to gray. Anyone who sees the comparison picture will feel distressed.
Fortunately, these days are coming to an end.
Doing a good job in handing over with that person is what Yang Yuan requires of himself.
"I hope nothing happens."
Although Yongcheng is large, it will only take three to five days at most. Just survive these few days.
But I am afraid that things will not go as planned.
…
Chen Jinngle didn't know what Yang Yuan was thinking, but he just pushed him all the way.
There is not much difference between which village, which town and which county. After traveling to so many places, I have gradually become numb.
The earth temples in Guang C are basically the same, unlike those in Guang Nan.
Doing the same thing over and over again is, to be honest, a bit boring. Only when he encounters something interesting occasionally will he catch Chen Jingle's attention.
There are many temples on both sides of the Yong River. In addition to the Water Temple, there is another temple that many people in Yong City know.
That is the Wutong Temple in Xixiangtang.
The master of Wutong Temple worships the Wutong God, also called the Wuyang God.
Folks think they are gods of wealth, but compared to the traditional five-way gods of wealth, they are partial to wealth. The object of prayer for the Five Ghosts to bring money is the God of Five Powers.
In addition, Wutong God also has the attributes of evil god, adulterous god and evil god.
Among the many legends of Wutong God collected in "Yi Jian Zhi" written by Hong Mai of the Song Dynasty, the original body of Wutong was the evil mandrill. He can change his body shape and transform into a handsome man, who specializes in seducing women in the world, causing them to become pregnant and give birth to monsters or stillborn babies.
The legend of Wutong is often associated with two major themes.
One is to help others obtain ill-gotten gains;
The second one is lustful, promiscuous, and domineering over wives and daughters.
The most important point is that if the worshiper does something slightly dissatisfied with him, for example, if the female family members refuse to dedicate themselves to Wutong, then he will take back the wealth he once bestowed.
It can be said to embody the ugliest vices, greed and desires of human beings.
Even if the emperor of the Song Dynasty made the Wutong gods princes, their origins could not be changed. In the end, they were defeated in the competition with other gods of wealth. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they were classified as obscene sacrifices and banned, and then gradually faded out of the mainstream view.
Of course, even if it is an evil god, as long as it can satisfy people's needs, there will always be people who believe in it.
After all, this was not the era of cutting down mountains and destroying temples.
These days, there are still people doing even raising little ghosts.
It can only be said that the social atmosphere is such that everyone wants to get rich and change their destiny. As everyone knows, some things are conserved. If you gain something, you will naturally lose some.
Do you really think it’s so easy to get the money from the God of Deception?
…
It's true that Liu Xing is from Yongcheng, but his family comes from the countryside.
I work in a furniture store in Yongcheng and work hard for more than 3,000 yuan every month.
Fortunately, his girlfriend knew that it was not easy for him and didn't want to drag him down, so she ran away with someone else.
"Hey, pretty boy, it's time to pay next month's rent."
At this moment, the charterer Sister Xu sent a voice message on WeChat.
Liu Xing stopped listening halfway through and closed the dialog box, feeling irritable.
"Money, money, money, money for everything!"
You said that if a man lives to be thirty and still can’t get 800 yuan in his pocket to pay rent, what’s the point of living?
Liu Xing lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling with wide eyes.
"Why the hell do I have no money? If I had money, would I still be like this?"
Liu Xing was full of resentment, complaining that the world was unfair.
Although they are all human beings, why are some people born in Rome, while others can only work as cows and horses throughout their lives?
Is it fair?
Of course it's not fair!
But what can be done?
This shit world is like this, and it’s really hard for ordinary people to change!
The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became, so I simply put on my clothes, put on my slippers, and went for a walk to relax. It's really depressing to stay in this small rental house all day.
There are all kinds of noisy cries and trumpets in my ears.
Liu Xing drooped his head and stepped on the big red bricks on the sidewalk with his big slippers, thinking about where to get money.
Unknowingly, I walked to the riverside.
The scenery along the river in the evening was quite nice, but it was a pity that Liu Xing was not in the mood to enjoy it.
It was the Wutong Temple next to it that caught his attention.
He passed by the Wutong Temple more than once, but never went in to worship.
He is not interested in the strange gods.
But at this moment, thinking of his embarrassing situation, he suddenly had an idea and wanted to go in and pay homage.
I heard that the Wutong God is the God of Wealth. If it can bless him with wealth, it doesn't matter if he worships him.
He gritted his teeth and spent money to buy a bundle of incense.
"God of Five Powers, please bless me, Liu Xing, to get rich as soon as possible. I really don't want to be poor anymore. As long as it can make me rich, I can do anything. As long as I don't kill people and set fires, even if I have ten years of life, You can come and change it!”
"Is this true?"
Liu Xing answered subconsciously without thinking: "Of course!"
After the words fell, he came back to his senses, froze, turned his head and looked around, but there was no one next to him.
Wait, didn’t you just hear someone asking a question?
Suddenly, Liu Xing felt a creepy feeling.
Looking up at the Wutong Shen on the high platform, he had the illusion that he was looking down at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He was so frightened that he did not dare to stay any longer, so he put the incense and left quickly.
Just when Liu Xing left Wutong Temple in panic, not far behind him, a gloomy-looking young man with a horse face walked out from behind the big tree.
Looking at Liu Xing's retreating back, the horse-faced young man raised his left hand and saw a talisman attached to it.
"The sky is blue, the earth is green, where are the five ghosts? The Taigong has brought the ghosts from the five directions, the ghosts from the five directions who produce wealth, please invite the ghosts from the five directions that generate wealth, please invite the ghosts from the east that generate wealth, please invite the ghosts from the west that generate wealth, please invite the ghosts from the south that generate wealth. , please invite the ghosts from the north to bring money, please ask the ghosts from China to bring money. Ghosts are ghosts with great supernatural powers and powerful spirits in all five directions. They specialize in bringing money to the world, bringing money from the east, west, south, north, and China, making money every day, every month, and every year. Wealth in the year comes from five directions and from five directions. If there is wealth, it will come, but if there is no wealth, it will go away. It is as urgent as a law or order!"
Just after reciting the incantation, the talisman in the young man's hand ignited out of thin air, burning quickly without leaving any ashes.
Seeing this, the young man suddenly showed a smile of success.
Liu Xing, who had just left Wutong Temple, suddenly felt something strange that he couldn't describe, as if he had been touched by something, and he hurriedly rubbed against the tree.
I didn't find any bugs or anything, so I forgot about it all.
He had no idea that he had been targeted.
I got stuck. I thought I would write quickly if I thought about the plot, but the result is still like a blocked toilet.
