"Then let's wait until he comes back on his own and then ask him about things related to the Queen Mother?" Feng Sheng asked excitedly.
He didn't seem to be worried at all that it would cause trouble. He didn't know whether he was too courageous to die or because he had full confidence in Cao Zhe.
"That's not necessary, we can just ask the local snake." Cao Zhe said.
"Who is it?" Feng Sheng answered quickly.
Cao Zhe said: "Of course he is the local city god!"
The city god of Jinling City was the brother of Zhu Jiuchong, the founder of the country.
He was called Chang Xinda, and was posthumously granted the title of British Duke after his death.
The two of them fought together in the past. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chang Xinda led 3,000 men to cut off the rear and died in the battle in order to cover the retreat of Taizu's army and seize the opportunity in the upcoming Battle of Guanjian.
After death, the arrowheads pulled out from his body weighed four kilograms.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Jiuzhong established the City God's Temple in Jinling City, appealed to heaven and the underworld, and enshrined Chang Xinda as the City God of Jinling to protect the people.
Although he died before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it seems that he did not enjoy the glory and wealth.
But if we look at what Taizu did in the decades after the founding of the country, this British commissar really died a good and wonderful death.
Not only his family has been honored to this day because of his death.
He himself was therefore granted the title of Earthly One, and in a sense he was granted immortality.
On the other hand, those old brothers who survived until the founding of the People's Republic of China were miserable.
The luckiest one was also sent to the border area, the border of Yongzhen.
Of course, this does not mean that Taizu did something wrong.
Starting from personal feelings, the two brothers fought together. In the beginning, they all took baths and slapped their butts together. Later, when one of them became the emperor, they kowtowed and begged for mercy. Even a eunuch came out of the palace. Who can stand being so arrogant in front of them? When your mind is confused, you will do some stupid things.
In addition, some people have taken over the country and feel that it is time to divide the fruits of victory. Their actions are exactly the same as those of the ruthless big bureaucrats, big landowners and even aliens in the past, or even go even further. . Taizu was born in poverty, so of course he couldn't bear this, so he could only use the butcher's knife to target his former good brother.
Times have changed, and now there are not many princes and nobles left.
However, the Chenghuang Temple still stands well in the south of the city and is full of incense.
However, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, kings of all dynasties occasionally visited the temple to worship.
To this day, I have never heard of the monarch mentioning the founding city god again.
Even the Changfus of the three families in Jinling rarely come to the Chenghuang Temple. Instead, they have a completely different style from their ancestors.
It was early morning when Cao Zhe arrived at the Chenghuang Temple.
The gate of the City God's Temple has not yet opened.
Cao Zhe then walked through the wall.
He took out three sticks of incense from the incense box, lit them with his hand, and inserted them into the incense burner.
"Xuan Xuanzi, a Taoist priest from Mount Laoshan, has something to ask the Chang Cheng Huang. We will host a banquet in the pine forest in the west of the city tonight. I hope the City God will reward him." After saying that, he stuffed a few more copper plates into the merit box and turned around to leave.
After Cao Zhe leaves.
Wearing armor, riding a maroon horse, and holding a horse spear, the city god, who looked more like a mighty general, walked out of the statue.
He glanced at the three sticks of incense in the incense burner.
In his eyes, those three sticks of incense were not incense at all, but three straight magical arrows emitting thunder, flames, and starlight.
Chang Chenghuang stretched out his hand to pull out the commanding arrow, but found that he couldn't get close at all. His fingers seemed to be cut off and dissipated after just a few moments.
"What is the origin of this Taoist?"
"Could it be that some great virtuous man from heaven reincarnated into the lower world and practiced gilding?" Chang Chenghuang thought to himself.
Then I started to worry about what gifts I should prepare for the banquet tonight.
When a big shot like this is invited, he must go, and he doesn't know the character of the other person. If the courtesy is too light, he will worry about offending others.
How do you say that?
'I don't have to give gifts, but you can't give them.'
The City God is also a Yin god, so he can usually only move around in the City God's temple during the day.
Only at night, when the sun's fire no longer covers the earth, can the city god go out and patrol the lands under his jurisdiction.
Due to the presence of Chang Chenghuang, the security of Jinling City at night is actually better than during the day.
At least, there are almost no monsters who dare to run wild at night.
Not only did Chang Chenghuang attain enlightenment by himself, but all the elite soldiers and generals under his command were also serving as government servants and secret agents in the underworld of Chenghuang.
Often when traveling to hunt demons, large armies are mobilized, so how can one dare to provoke them in such a leisurely manner?
But tonight, Chang Chenghuang's trip seemed particularly 'shabby'.
Only a dozen personal guards accompanied him.
When we arrived at the pine forest in the west of the city, we could smell the rich aroma of food from a long distance away.
Ordinary ghosts cannot eat, they can only smell.
But the City God is an earthly being, and in a sense, he also has a body, but it is different from a human body. What he has is a body of merit.
It can also be used to enjoy human food.
Before the Chang City God arrived, he heard Cao Zhe greeting him by the campfire: "But the City God has arrived?"
"Come here quickly. The poor Taoist cook is preparing beggar's chicken. He uses three-headed chicken essence to cook it. His stomach is stuffed with precious elixirs. Eating it will help you practice."
Chang Chenghuang immediately quickened his pace.
When I walked to the bonfire, I saw everything was bright.
In mid-air around him, there were torches suspended out of thin air.
A red fur fox returned to its original form, wearing a bracelet of Buddhist beads on its wrist, and was busy cooking delicious food.
The ugly nun was obeying her command, and her feet were also busy without touching the ground.
And a strange man with fox ears, a mouth and a tail, and a turtle shell on his back, was sitting cross-legged and practicing hard.
There was only one person, looking at the sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, sitting on a dead tree trunk, holding a wine pot in one hand and a roasted leg of lamb in the other, eating happily.
Although it was said to be a banquet... the host didn't seem to want to wait for the guests to arrive before having a banquet together.
"Come! Come! Come! Sit!"
"You're welcome. These are freshly hunted game. Eat them while they're fresh." Cao Zhe handed Cheng Huang a piece of wild boar meat.
Chang Chenghuang looked at the piece of pork in his hand and said with some laughter and tears: "If the King of the Mountain in Niumang Mountain is just game, then it is nothing to worry about."
Hearing this, Cao Zhe shook his head and said, "Whatever status they had during their lifetime is all in the past. Now they are just a dish, right?"
"Stop gossiping and eat first... The few people around me are all foodies."
"After this guy has rested and digested the increased mana, I'm afraid he will come back to eat Haisai again." Cao Zhe pointed at Feng Sheng and said.
In a team, there will always be an object that is used as a prop to liven up the atmosphere and make jokes.
They are often not outstanding at work, and their appearance is average. Apart from being broad-minded, they have almost no major characteristics.
However, the leader always likes to bring the topic to this person, which seems to be very popular with the leader.
In fact, sometimes you need a footrest to open up a topic.
This type of character also occasionally appears in social gatherings or class reunions.
Maybe... the necessity of Feng Sheng's presence in the team is one of them?
