When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
When a country is about to perish, there must be monsters.
All the dignitaries' mansions were harassed by ghosts last night, so everyone was whispering about it during court this morning.
"Wei Guogong didn't come. It seems that the rumors are true. He was very frightened. I'm afraid he is still on the bed and has not been able to wake up."
"Well, the Duke is old. Don't talk about him. We guys who are still in the prime of life were almost frightened to death on the spot. We still dare not recall it."
"Thanks to the undercover officers." Someone stroked his heart and said with a pale face, "Otherwise, whether you can come to court alive or not is another question."
"Those rubbish enshrined in the mansion!"
"On weekdays, the magicians ask for gold, silver, jewelry, and magic weapons, but when it comes time to use them, each one of them is worse than a dog guarding the house!"
A young civil servant with a white pheasant embroidered on his official robe couldn't help snorting.
It stands to reason that he, a fifth-grade official, is not qualified to participate in the exchange, because the people standing around are either hereditary nobles who have retired from the country, or they are third-grade officials. The fourth-grade officials can only listen silently, and occasionally Say a few words in agreement.
However, this young official recognized a good godfather, the oldest guarding eunuch in Yingtian Mansion!
Because of this, no one scolded him for being presumptuous. Instead, they seriously wondered whether it meant the guarding eunuch.
"The world is difficult and evil is everywhere."
"Now that the underworld has returned to the earth, we should all go and offer incense."
At this time, a military attache with a tiger and leopard embroidered on his shirt suddenly spoke, reminding everyone not to forget to repay Yin Si for his kindness in staying alive last night.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Henan Hou Luxu's face and he thought:
Everything is developing in the expected direction.
"You really have to go and offer sacrifices. Don't forget, this is what our imperial officials should do."
"That's right, that's right, Minister Wang, you are an official of the Ministry of Rites, please make up your mind quickly."
Everyone present looked at a thin middle-aged man, waiting for his answer.
In the past, things like sacrifices had to be reported to the capital in advance. After the decision was made, the Jinling court could make preparations.
And now...
Follow the authority in emergencies!
When he thought about the haunting in his house, Wang Shilang instantly became angry and immediately told the Ministry of Rites to draw up the regulations.
In fact, in normal years in the past, rituals to worship the City God would be held regularly in various places. Although various systems have been abolished as the gods and Buddhas have disappeared in recent years, there is no trouble in restoring them.
About an hour had passed, and all the civil and military officials who could move in Jinling City were present.
Since Wei Guogong had not yet woken up, the three guarding eunuchs were lying on the sick bed, and the leading ones were several marquises.
Among them, Henan Hou Luxu was invited to the front to lead the way, because everyone knew that he had a good son who was suspected to be the reincarnation of a god. Last night, all the official residences were attacked by ghosts, with the exception of the Lu Family Hou Mansion. Even the evil spirits did not dare to enter. .
Lu Xu did not refuse the kindness of many colleagues, and at the same time, he was filled with emotions.
Severe cases require strong medication.
Before the fire burned themselves, these guys didn't move at all.
Once one's own safety is affected, one game will be focused on the other, no matter what the will of the capital is, let's get through the current hurdle first.
In addition, Lu Xu is also increasingly looking forward to where his son can go.
If the human world is proclaimed emperor, then he will be the supreme emperor, and the ancestors and ancestors will no longer have to bear the title of marquis. They will all be posthumously named emperors and enjoy the power of gods.
If he could occupy a throne in the underworld, the Lu family would prosper for generations to come.
At the same time, looking at Henan Hou Luxu striding forward in his python robe, all the officials behind him were filled with envy.
Living in troubled times, everyone lost the protection of dynasty luck, but this colleague was the only one to survive, and his gray hair turned black.
At this moment, many officials whose families have daughters who are still waiting for marriage, no longer care about Lu Li's reputation as a prodigal son, and are constantly thinking about forming a family for their children——
If there is no such son, then let him become a son-in-law!
It's a pity that since Lu Xu knew about his son's ambition, he simply didn't care about anything, including marriage. It all depended on what he liked.
Worshiping King Minngling is always a very solemn matter.
In terms of official rank, among all the civil and military officials present, even the bedridden Wei Guogong who had not yet arrived was far inferior, not to mention that he still had an aura that belonged to a god.
You know, according to the rules, the first thing local officials do when they take office is to go to the City God's Temple to offer incense. From this, it is not difficult to see that officials in the Yang world are born one level lower than officials in the Yin Dynasty.
Besides, these are troubled times!
In the eyes of ghosts and monsters, officials who are not protected by the luck of the court are no different from ordinary people, and they can eat as they please.
As a result, the Ministry of Etiquette made this event extra grand, beating gongs and drums and setting up ceremonial guards all the way, stretching for several miles, as if they wanted to make up for all the gifts owed in previous years at once.
This scene naturally aroused discussions among the people along the street, scrambling to find out what happened.
After it became clear that King Ming Ling appeared, he sent seducers to suppress the evil spirits at night and saved the dignitaries in Jinling City. The common people also went home and changed into their costumes. Based on their early memories, they brought appropriate tributes and followed the procession towards the City God Temple. .
"The people of the world are really realistic. When they know that the gods and Buddhas in the gods have disappeared, they will no longer worship them."
"Let the temple collapse and become overgrown with weeds without even taking a single glance at it."
Within the main hall.
General Ma Mian looked at the noisy scene of gongs and drums in the Xuanguang Mirror and couldn't help but sigh: "Now that the order of the underworld has been restored and reappeared in the world, this group of people are rejoicing, running around to tell each other, dressed in costumes, and expressing themselves with the most pious Come and pay homage."
Regarding this point, Minling King's clone does not make any comments. Human nature is like this, and it is useless to say more.
What's more, this deity also has impure motives:
The luck of humanity and the luck of the imperial court.
These are the things he longs for. With the blessing of faith, subsequent plans will be smoother.
"Ghost City God, are they ready?"
Lu Li was dressed in Tsing Yi, looking at the team getting closer and closer to the City God's Temple, and said, "Next, I'll leave it to you to establish your authority."
"Don't worry, it's safe."
The clone of King Mingling responded in a deep voice.
Beside him, the horse-faced general who was sitting on the ground also stood up. His height of two feet was extremely oppressive.
There was one scene last night and another during the day.
Moreover, from the actors to the audience, nothing has changed.
No, there’s more Lu Li.
After he finished his cultivation, in order to avoid the embarrassment of staying at home and because he was worried, he came to the Chenghuang Temple in person.
"All is ready except for the opportunity."
"After the last scene, Pudu Cihang, a thousand-year-old demon, couldn't sit still."
With that said, Lu Li walked deeper into the hall.
