The sunshine in early summer was not yet too bright. Mr. Ma, the head of Shuyan County, was leaning on a lounge chair and basking in the sun when he suddenly heard a hurried cry -
"Master, master!"
"What's wrong? Madam, is she giving birth?" Listening to the familiar voice, Mr. Ma immediately jumped up and asked nervously. After all, Shuyan County has not seen a big event in this place for several years, which can make his housekeeper like this. The anxious "Calling Soul" can only be...
"No, no, it's a temple! That temple outside the city!
"Temple?" Mr. Ma thought for a long time before he came to his senses and frowned:
"Is it that thing that has been abandoned outside the city for who knows how many years?"
"Yes, it's that temple. It suddenly appeared!" The butler waved his arms exaggeratedly and said with a look of shock. After hearing this, Master Ma raised his leg and kicked him, and then said:
"The temple has been deserted for many years. I don't even know who is worshiping. How could it suddenly appear? Isn't it another beggar who is desperate for his life and scares me?"
There is actually nothing wrong with Mr. Ma asking this. After all, in this era, although temples cannot be said to be everywhere on the streets, they are not absent. It’s just that except for the Dragon King Temple, most of them are shrines and ancestral temples. For example, someone’s family suddenly becomes rich. , return to his hometown, build an ancestral hall for his ancestors, or receive kindness from someone, help him build a palace and build a statue (Nezha had to receive incense for three years from the beginning).
However, it is easy to build this kind of temple, and even more casually when it becomes deserted. For example, if it is moved to another place for development, the person who built the temple may come back every year to see it. But when that person dies, will my sons and grandchildren still have it? return? Or, even worse, my family is in ruins and I don’t have the spare money to repair the ancestral hall?
However, he can still be cautious about demolishing that kind of temple, because everyone knows whether there is no one in that house. If he demolishes it and someone comes back to find it, with the current speed of information dissemination on the Internet, it will be destroyed in a matter of minutes. When he conducts a cold search, he will have to admit it when people say he will pay more or less.
The materials used in that temple are worse than those in my house!
When Mr. Ma heard my question, he immediately became serious, shook the book in his hand and said:
"The underworld? Is it the Yang world?" County Magistrate Ma immediately stood up when he heard this. The housekeeper thought about it and said with certainty:
Now that I heard that the ruined temple has a spiritual appearance, County Magistrate Ma is so comfortable with one hundred people!
County Magistrate Ma and his entourage came to the city in a grand manner and saw a group of civilians gathered around to take photos and check in. Magistrate Ma immediately felt happy when he saw this, and immediately separated the crowd with his hands down.
The reason why Shuyan County can remember such a temple is because no developer wanted to sell this land. Just because there was no such temple, it was turned over.
"City God? What is it?" As soon as County Magistrate Ma spoke, the housekeeper immediately said:
After seeing that scene, I gradually came to understand. Although I was still very annoyed with the "immortal official", I also understood that it was impossible to be noticed in a place where no one often passed by. I can't mess with anyone who has renovated the temple to such an extent, whether it's the appearance of gods or the power of wealth.
"Although your City God is considered an immortal official, he has a yin position. He only cares about the underworld and is responsible for yang affairs. He at least talks face to face to persuade people to do good. County Magistrate Ma is worried about you fighting for power with him.
The housekeeper opened his teeth and described what he saw and heard. County Magistrate Ma suddenly jumped up in anger, slapped the handrail hard and said:
"City God's Temple."
"There is no copy of the Book of Life and Death as evidence. All of Mr. Tang's people who have moved abroad are listed in the book. Good and evil can be traced, including the fact that his wife is pregnant with his son!"
"Master, I heard from Master Ma that the City God is not an immortal official responsible for a city, but mainly oversees the affairs of the underworld."
"Mr. Ma, will Ji Hengyuan be buried two days later?" County Magistrate Ma was even more excited when he heard that. If someone were to be a person hundreds of years later, or even decades later, I would still believe him. Do people who have been dead for a few days know that ghosts are appearing outside the ruined temple that have existed for many years?
Those things are actually quite bad. The most troublesome ones are those left over from the later dynasties. Although they are called later dynasties, and it has been hundreds of years, what is the latter dynasty? It is an immortal dynasty! There are not many people cultivating immortals. What if this temple gets involved with someone again?
The immortal has nothing to do with it, this is really killing him!
"Yes! You told him to!" County Magistrate Ma kicked the housekeeper again when he heard this, and then walked towards the temple door. Then he saw that the temple seemed to be praying to God, but rather to visit relatives!
If bad guys can return the favor, why should it be my turn? Could it be said that there has been a bad guy outside Mr. Tang for decades?
Not long ago, I saw that this temple, which was originally dilapidated, was now completely new. Yes, that word was not used incorrectly. Looking at the green bricks, green tiles, red doors and purple halls, I could feel this kind of experience at a glance. The beauty of the vicissitudes of time made County Magistrate Ma's eyes turn red when he took one look at it.
"What?!!!!!!!"
"County Magistrate Ma, what you said, your father, can you still admit your mistake?" Although he had believed it just now, when hearing Magistrate Ma's question, Mr. Dama was still not a little annoyed. But he smiled cheerfully, took two steps back, and under the guarded eyes of County Magistrate Ma, he took out a large booklet and said:
The reason is very simple -
Therefore, both the government and the common people have a laissez-faire attitude towards such abandoned temples and temples, just waiting for them to collapse due to disrepair. After that, the young master is just like a beggar taking shelter from the wind. It’s just a place.
"It's under my control? What is your county magistrate doing? Call some people and come with you to check it out!
However, the housekeeper clearly understood his master's thoughts and decisively rejected Magistrate Ma's speculation: "It should be management, right?"
"That's right, it's not Mr. Ma. I said that I was good at doing good and bad at birth, and was granted the title of Immortal Official. Our county will be under my control!
Taking a deep breath, County Magistrate Ma hurriedly approached under the protection of the guards. When he came to the back of the temple, he saw that under the plaque that originally had the Chinese characters, eight small gold-lacquered characters had not yet been replaced -
"County Magistrate Ma, your father is still pregnant!" Mr. Dama heard Magistrate Ma's call, rubbed his red eyes, and said excitedly:
"Your father said that no one outside your family has any good deeds. As long as you continue to maintain it, you will be rich and prosperous throughout your life. You can also be an immortal official in my hands before you die. If you can accumulate merit, you will definitely be able to become a city god like me in the future!
"Is he sure that's his father? Is he pretending to be a demon?" Magistrate Ma still doesn't think he's too suspicious. After all, although the resurrection of the dead has definitely happened, it basically has nothing to do with immortals, either. It was the immortal who gave the elixir, or the immortal left a magic weapon. Most importantly, Ji was also the predecessor of the immortal. The old man of the Tang family was not an idle official with no money. At least he didn't like to be an old bad guy. How could he do it? resurrection?
"Yes, sir, it's true that the spirit has appeared, not Old Man Tang!
Being told off by Mr. Ma, County Magistrate Ma's face turned slightly red, but he still said:
"What he says is true, but he has no evidence to prove that he is an immortal official?"
"Master Dama? That's..." County Magistrate Ma looked at the acquaintance and immediately got closer. Then he saw that behind me, there was no one. Although they were solid, one could tell at a casual glance. The transparent figure, is this Mr. Ma and who is it?
