The prefecture has its own city god, and the county has its county city god. It can be said that the city god's temple is spread all over the world and is widely spread.
The Jinling City God's Temple existed as early as the late Han Dynasty. In the past, Moling Lieutenant Jiang Ziwen chased thieves to the foot of Zhongshan Mountain, but was killed by the thieves. Therefore, Jiang Ziwen's ghost often wandered around the Zhongshan area.
Later, when Sun Quan established his capital in Moling, Jiang Ziwen asked Sun Quan in a dream to narrate the story of his murder. Sun Quan then named him "Marquis of Zhongdu", with jurisdiction over the underworld of Jinling, and ordered people to build a temple for him.
Later, Jiang Ziwen was recognized by Emperor Wu of Liang and was posthumously named the "Lord of Stone City".
From generation to generation, the general in the late Han Dynasty has firmly established himself as the City God of Jinling. Now, he has become the "Commander of the Kingdom of Chengtian and Promoted to the King of Fuminglingling", which is definitely a great blessing.
"There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is the king."
"All the gods and Buddhas in the sky have hidden their traces, but the evil spirits have an opportunity to take advantage of them."
The black-maned horse's intelligence is not low to begin with. After transforming into a demon, its intelligence is far beyond ordinary people.
At this moment, it was looking up at a long street. At a rough count, there were hundreds of main temples, palaces, palaces, and government offices. They were really built according to the standards of the royal palace.
"Ghostly!"
Han Yu Taoist snorted coldly.
Since he grew up in Jinling since he was a child, he has a deep understanding of this place. In the past, incense was flourishing, and during festivals, various performances would be performed on the stage in the Chenghuang Temple, including not only the Buddhist "Mu Lian Saves His Mother", but also Taoist allusions. .
When I think of the scene where the stalls were connected and thousands of people crowded together, I couldn’t help but sigh: “In just a few years, it’s like the world has changed.”
"Liuzhou City God Liu Zongyuan, Hangzhou City God Wen Tianxiang, Qingyang City God Hairui..."
As he said that, the junior brother shook his head, looked at the plaque in front of the temple, and speculated: "The sages of the past generations were granted gods status and protected one party after their death. There must have been some major changes that made them unable to stop the demons from committing crimes."
Subconsciously, several eyes were cast on Lu Li and the black-maned horse, hoping to get answers from these two gods from the upper world.
However, Lu Li didn't react at all.
God knows why?
Perhaps the Supreme Humanity has committed something unforgivable, which has affected several other realms and caused gods and Buddhas to give up their faith in the human world;
Perhaps due to unknown influences, this world has become broken, its status has declined, and the true spirits of the gods and Buddhas in this world have gradually faded away...
Anyway, Lu Li was certain of one thing.
Under the observation of Dharma Eye, the yin and yang qi between heaven and earth are extremely imbalanced. This situation is actually better during the day. Now that the sun has set, the phenomenon of insufficient yang qi and excessive yin qi is particularly serious.
This phenomenon means that it is easier for demons and monsters to cultivate, and they can become a phenomenon easily.
"go in."
"Examine the City God."
After saying this, Lu Li jumped off the horse.
The first story at the beginning of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" is to test the city god, and the first major thing Lu Li did when he entered this world was to test the city god.
Copy: phonetic, from hand, from test.
Kao means tribulation and torture. Hands and kao are combined to mean torturing other people's bodies with hands.
…
Inside the Chenghuang Temple.
A green-faced and fanged humanoid ghost was looking up at the front, which was a mirror.
Because there are special Tao patterns engraved inside, even if the user does not know the Tao method, he can still perform the art of manifesting Yuan Guang.
The original City God used it to monitor Jinling City and judge merits and demerits.
Nowadays, Taoism and demons are disappearing, the order of the world is constantly collapsing, and all gods and Buddhas have disappeared. The magic weapons left by the previous city god are naturally cheaper than the ghosts that occupy the magpie's nest.
Of course, the effect of this mirror in the hands of the demon is far less powerful than in the hands of the God of Heaven and Earth. Only the picture flashes, but no sound is transmitted.
"This little girl is pretty. I think she was brought here by those Confucian scholars to honor the master..."
At this time, a voice sounded from the side, with a hint of childlike confusion in his tone.
It's just that the speaker's appearance is really unflattering. He looks like he is about five or six years old. He looks up at the Yuan Guang Mirror and sits on top of the statue of Judge Wen. He holds a piece of flesh and blood in his hand and speaks. Fill your mouth.
Maybe it was greedy by nature, or maybe, for Weird people, flesh and blood really tasted good, and his face was covered in blood after eating it, and his gray and blue clothes were all covered in blood.
When Gui Chenghuang heard what the boy said, his eyes became more intense when he saw the girl Qingfeng in the mirror. He looked like a prodigal boy visiting Jiaofangsi, and like a beggar who saw delicious food.
"Hurry, go get this person in quickly, don't let him ruin this good thing."
Hearing this, the kid jumped down from the statue, and his body began to change in mid-air.
In an instant, the originally short and shriveled body with exposed ribs became plump, and his height grew to over five feet, no different from that of an adult man.
"Master, just relax, I'll go right away."
The voice also became thicker.
If you look closely, the transformed appearance of the imp is actually 70% similar to the Judge Wen it once occupied, but its aura is too sinister and evil.
the other side.
When Lu Li and others arrived at the gate of the City God's Temple, they encountered a drunken old man blocking their way.
"There are ghosts in the temple. If any stranger goes in, no one can come out alive. They have long since become a treasure."
The old man swung his sleeves and spoke in a very aggressive tone, clearly despising Lu Li and the others. Only when he looked at Miss Qingfeng, his blurred drunken eyes showed a hint of clarity and sympathy.
"people?"
Han Yu looked at the old man intently and vaguely guessed who this man was.
Then, he turned his head to look at Lu Li, saw him nodding, and said, "We know there are evil spirits entrenched here."
"You can leave now. If you hadn't said those few words of advice just now, what would have happened..."
Before he finished speaking, the temple door creaked and opened from the inside.
Four people were standing inside.
Three of them are dressed as generals, wearing armor and equipped with the unique ring-headed swords of the Han Dynasty, which are full of style.
However, compared with the other person, they seemed very inconspicuous.
"But you are here to redeem someone? Come in quickly, the City God has summoned you." The man wearing the uniform of a third-grade judge said with a smile. At the same time, his eyes wandered between Hanyu Taoist boy and Qingfeng girl.
Lu Li, his junior brother, and the black-maned horse were all ignored by him.
"good."
Lu Li nodded and was about to step in when he was stopped by the three ghosts dressed as generals.
"The City God is only asking girls and children to go in. You can wait outside for now. We will send Scholar Shen out later."
The sinister gaze fell on Han Yu again, and the kid dressed as Judge Wen muttered in his heart:
The thin skin and tender meat will definitely taste delicious. When the time comes, the girl will be handed over to the City God, and I will have this little guy all to myself...
Thinking of this, a trace of thick, dark saliva dripped from his mouth. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this guy was a fake.
