The awe shown by Liu Sheng made the City God feel happy. There is a god three feet above his head. The god is above him. How can he not be respectful to him no matter how powerful he is?
The city god is the sky in Wuning County and the god on top of Liu Sheng.
Although Liu Sheng ruined his plan, looking at Liu Sheng's awe now, he felt that all the barriers in his heart were gone.
He has more confidence in the conversation that will follow. Although Liu Sheng is just a mortal and a county lieutenant, he can control it.
But if he refuses to cooperate, it will bring some trouble to the City God.
Now it seems that even though what this person did made the gods angry, he did not do it intentionally, and he still respected and feared God in his heart.
The City God said, "Liu County Lieutenant, please take a seat."
"When Liang Ji died of illness, I felt pity for her youth and beauty, and couldn't bear her young death, so I took her in."
"It's just that humans and ghosts are different, so it's hard to meet you."
Liu Sheng said: "Master Cheng Huang has a kind heart, so we brothers and sisters can meet again."
The City God smiled and said: "I invite you here today. Firstly, Liangji misses her family and is sick with worry, which I cannot bear. Secondly, I heard about what you did and want to give you some advice."
Liu Sheng looked at Liang Ji. Liang Ji looked at him. Although she didn't speak, Liu Sheng already understood her thoughts.

Then he turned around and said, "What did Lord Cheng Huang say?"
The City God said: "When disasters come from heaven, it is determined by the number of days and cannot be determined by humans. It is certainly a good thing for you to help the victims, but you have violated the destiny of heaven and will only bring greater disasters."
Liu Sheng's heart was beating violently, as if a ball of flame was burning.
There was a trace of fear on his thin face: "How could relieving victims and quelling floods be against the will of heaven? I heard that God is good at saving lives, so how could I sit back and watch the people being displaced and dying?"
The City God said: "The county magistrate is partial to the law, and corrupt officials do not practice moral governance. They offend God and give him a warning. It is destined that ten thousand refugees will die, and it is clearly recorded in the longevity records. You ordered relief, which seems to be to save people, but it is just that. Pass the fate of the refugees onto other people."
"As long as the refugees die, the floods will continue. By then, the entire Wuning County will inevitably fall into an unprecedented disaster. How can it be as simple as the refugees who die?"
Liu Sheng's face was full of disbelief.
City God said: "Don't think that I am scaring you. You have violated the laws of heaven and have committed a serious crime. Although you are alone, the ghosts of your parents and relatives have already suffered and been punished under Jiuyou. If Liangji is protected by me, only I’m afraid I’ll have to suffer all the punishment.”
The city god stretched out his hand, and a ray of light fell on Liu Sheng's wine glass, "Look."
I saw the light swaying in the wine glass, and a picture of Purgatory on the Mountain of Swords appeared.
The red flames burned the sharp blade red, and Liu Sheng's parents were pushed and walked on the mountain of knives, suffering the pain of being struck by the blade and burned by the sea of fire.
Liu Sheng's expression suddenly changed and he said, "My parents have done good deeds and accumulated virtue. Why did they suffer this crime?"
The City God sighed and said: "Your Majesty is naturally not guilty, but you have violated the destiny of heaven and your crime is unpardonable. Your parents are willing to be punished on your behalf and atone for your sins."
"What a pity for the hearts of parents in the world." The City God commented, then he raised his eyes slightly to see Liu Sheng's reaction and said, "If you can't find your way back, I'm afraid it will be in vain."
Liu Sheng's hands and feet were cold, and he looked at Liang Ji with tears in his eyes, then at Lord City God, and then bowed to the end: "Please teach me, Lord City God."
Lord Cheng Huang nodded with satisfaction.
The rain pattered down on the carriage.
The carriage shook and arrived at the county government office.
Judge Wu smiled and asked Liu Sheng to come out and said, "Liu County Lieutenant, here we are."
Liu Sheng was in a trance and his thoughts were not in his right mind. Following Judge Wu's guidance, he returned to the county government office.
But suddenly he shivered, and he suddenly raised his head from the table, only to see that the lights were not out, and he was clearly asleep.
He hurried out of the door, opened the door and looked outside, only to see a big, smooth mouse pulling a wooden basin and running towards the distance, disappearing into the darkness in an instant.
Thinking of the horse and carriage in the dream, I suddenly felt ridiculous.
He closed the door and leaned against the door without saying a word, staring straight into the void. There was a hot flame in his heart, which burned him unhappy and made him want to go crazy.
What a city god! What a destiny!
The fire in his heart was not angry, and the anger in his chest was not clear.
Chi Xia appeared in the room. Seeing that his aura was full of excitement, he asked, "Brother Liu, what happened?"
Liu Sheng sneered and said: "There is no accident, it's just that the evil god is in power, humiliating my parents, wasting his destiny, and making people's blood and hands itch."
"Mr. Chi, why do the ghosts and gods in the world have so many selfish desires just like humans?"
Chi Xia was silent for a moment and said: "Ghosts and gods are also made by humans."
Liu Sheng's eyes flickered, "That's it."
Chi Xia saw that he was very depressed and asked why.
When he heard that the city god was secretly persecuting Liu Sheng's parents, he sneered and said, "If he had such ability, he would not be a county god."
"Corrupt officials are restricted by the laws of the imperial court, and ghosts and gods are not restricted by the laws of heaven. If these things are really to be spread to the underworld, the first one to go to hell will be the City God himself."
Liu Sheng said: "How should I deal with insulting my parents?"
Chi Xia laughed: "You already know it in your heart, so why bother asking me?"
Liu Sheng laughed, the candlelight swaying in his eyes.
After dawn, Zeng Fan brought the refugees to look for Liu Sheng.
The two demands of the refugees are to provide food relief and to offer sacrifices to the sky.
Liu Sheng was already doing the former, and merchants and wealthy people were willing to help. The latter was why Zeng Fan and the refugees came to find him.
The major affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs, and sacrifice is the top priority.
But sacrifices also have personalities and grades. The land of gods is only for emperors to offer sacrifices, but in Wuning County, offering sacrifices to the city god and the maidens are already up to the sky.
Liu Sheng's eyes flashed and he said: "In that case, let's sacrifice to the City God first."
Zeng Fan had no objection, that was exactly why he came.
This grand ceremony soon kicked off.
Prepare three animal sacrifices and pray for sacrifices.
From the county government office, we patrolled the streets, beating gongs and drums, and it was full of joy and grandness.
As soon as the sacrificial activities started, even if there was no prior notice, everyone responded in large numbers.
Especially the refugees, because of all kinds of rumors and rumors, they hate and fear the City God.
If the City God could open his eyes, and if the sacrifice could calm his greed and anger, it would be great for the refugees.
There are two types of sacrifices to gods. One is out of kindness. The gods respond and bless one, and they will naturally receive sacrifices. The other is out of evil. To deal with the evil gods that cannot be conquered and cannot escape, they rely on sacrifices to compromise and offer incense and sacrifices in order to seek peace.
The City God should have been the first type, but now he has become the second type.
Because the refugees gathered, the people in the county did not dare to follow them.
Although floods harm people, not just refugees, refugees are dangerous, so if possible, avoid contact with them as much as possible.
In the last ceremony, only the county officials headed by Liu Sheng and the refugees participated.
This sacrifice was supposed to be hosted by the county magistrate, but due to well-known reasons, the county magistrate could only be absent.
The master recited prayers, offered three sacrifices, and prayed to the city god for mercy, to drive away water damage, and to bring sunny weather.
Liu Sheng led a large number of refugees to worship in the rain, hoping that the Lord City God would be gracious.
The huge power of incense caused the City God to appear in the City God's Temple. Facing so many worshipers, the City God just sneered.
After the sacrifice, there was no change in the color of the rain.
The refugees were still afraid of the majesty of the gods and just waited, hoping that the weather would clear up the next day.
Liu Sheng knew it was impossible.
Not only did Lord Cheng Huang not know how to save people, he was even prepared to kill people.
The awe shown by Liu Sheng made the City God feel happy. There is a god three feet above his head. The god is above him. How can he not be respectful to him, no matter how powerful he is?
The city god is the sky in Wuning County and the god on top of Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng said: "Master Cheng Huang has a kind heart, so we brothers and sisters can meet again."

The City God said: "The county magistrate is partial to the law, and corrupt officials do not practice virtuous governance. They offend God and give him a warning. It is destined that ten thousand refugees will die, and it is clearly recorded in the longevity records. You ordered relief, which seems to be to save people, but it is just that. Pass the fate of the refugees onto other people.”
