Bai Gu originally wanted to persuade Nan Yu to eat more to grow taller. But after thinking about it, he was less than a hand taller than her, so he didn't seem to be persuasive.

If you eat so much, you won't grow taller...

Before Bai Gu could speak, he was already confused.

In addition, Bai Gu really didn't know how to chat with girls or what to say, so the atmosphere along the way was a bit awkward.

It's not that Bai Gu is not good at chatting with girls, it's that regardless of male or female, as long as he is not familiar with Bai Gu, he rarely talks.

No topic.

Chatting with the old beggar is different. That guy can talk freely, and you can be as bold as you want.

The Chenghuang Temple in the north of the city is not too far away, just a stick of incense away.

The Chenghuang Temple is on Yingchun Road in the north of the city. Bai Gu and Nan Yu were walking along Xiaoshan Street. A few hundred meters away, they saw many vendors lined up along the street like fish bones, in an orderly manner.

There are people selling food and drink, people performing jugglers, people painting portraits... you can't see them all at a glance.

The whole street was crowded with people, as numerous as carp crossing the river, and the clothes of all kinds were dazzling.

Nan Yu instantly became excited, "It's so lively!"

There were too many people and the noise became louder. Bai Gu couldn't hear clearly what Nan Yu was saying, so he came closer and shouted, "What were you talking about just now?"

Nan Yu also shouted: "I said, it's so lively here!"

Bai Gu nodded, "Yes! Let's go, go help Mr. Wu burn incense first, and then come and take your time shopping."

"good!"

Then the two of them squeezed through the crowd and finally arrived at the entrance of the Chenghuang Temple, only to find that there were even more people in front of the temple. There was not even a gap, so they couldn't squeeze in.

I had no choice but to walk slowly along with the crowd.

Nan Yu took out a bunch of candied haws on a stick and stuffed it into Bai Gu's hand, "You treat me to a meal, and I'll treat you to some candied haws on a stick, it's just right!"

Bai Gu looked at the candied haws in his hand, and bit into one cautiously. It was sour and sweet, and quite delicious. Xiaoxiao would probably like it, "Thank you."

"Thank you. It's just a bunch of candied haws." Nan Yu also picked up a bunch of candied haws and started eating.

Bai Gu smiled and said nothing.

What Bai Gu thanked was not that Nan Yu invited him to eat candied haws on a stick, but for letting him eat something as delicious as candied haws on a stick.

Bai Gu had never eaten candied haws before, not even half of one.

So I had no idea what it tasted like, so I was very cautious when I first ate it.

I'm afraid it's just some...weird smell.

In the past, it was simply because he had no money, but now, he doesn't want to spend unnecessary money to eat some miscellaneous food.

He planned to wait for Bai Xiaoxiao to wake up and try together.

However, didn't Nan Yu just say that she was full? How could she continue to eat candied haws now? If I remember correctly, she also ate a portion of fried potato cubes, a candy man, and a large cup of Tremella lotus seeds just now.

soup.

Do girls have such strange appetites?

I don’t eat much dinner, but I can eat a lot of snacks.

The two of them squeezed through the gate of Chenghuang Temple and were shocked by the scene inside the temple.

Behind the gate is a wide square, which is the size of three spacious rooms. There is a wind and rain corridor around the square, with eaves and corners hanging low, which is like the four waters returning to the hall. There are four rooms on the left and right of the square.

The wing room is the residence of devout men and women.

In the square, there is an eight-treasure gilt lion's head furnace, on which are engraved the eight characters "Born to be confused" and "Dead to understand". The lion's head furnace is filled with incense, and a steady stream of people come forward to incense. The smoke of fireworks is lingering.

It lingered over the entire City God's Temple for a long time, seeming to fill the vacancy above Sishui Guitang, but it seemed that it could never be filled.

In the middle is the main hall of the City God. The main hall is majestic, tall, simple and dignified. On the ridge of the main hall are carved pictures of dragons, peppers and iron hairpins with clouds and geese, which are divided into two sides of the town. In front of the hall is a platform, more than one meter high, with several steps.

Ke Deng. There is a pair of couplets engraved on the stone pillars on both sides of the main hall, which are "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end" and "Yin and Yang are not forgiving". There is no horizontal scroll in the middle, only a large abacus and a pair of Yin and Yang fish.

It is said that after death, a person must first go to the City God's Temple to erase all traces of the world, account for his deeds and deeds during his lifetime, and obtain a written document written by the City God himself before he can go to the underworld. Therefore, the City God's Temple is the starting point for the twenty stations after death.

Bai Gu felt a little melancholy, but also a little hopeful.

I feel melancholy because I don’t seem to have been to the Chenghuang Temple to offer incense to my grandma. In recent years, I have been too busy with life to have time to visit. I don’t know if my grandma is still wandering around the world because of this and cannot be reincarnated.

But if, by chance, grandma’s soul is still in the world, is there a chance to meet her?

Didn't the book say that some people with extraordinary powers can make people see their deceased relatives and friends, or that their souls can appear on their own and become what ordinary people call ghosts?

If you say this, wouldn't you and your grandma be able to meet again?

Bai Gu felt complicated for a while.

Nan Yu seemed to notice something strange about Bai Gu. She glanced at Bai Gu, but didn't say anything.

The two of them moved forward slowly along with the crowd, but suddenly a hand patted Bai Gu's shoulder, and then a mean voice sounded, "Little Bai Gu, what, come up with the little girl?"

Are you asking for a fortune? Come to seek marriage?"

Bai Gu turned around and saw that the young Taoist was squatting on the railing of the corridor with a face that deserved a beating.

Nan Yu groaned and his face turned red.

The corner of Bai Gu's mouth revealed a "kind" curve, "Want to know? Come over here and I'll tell you."

The young Taoist hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't take it to heart what a poor Taoist is saying."

"But I take it seriously." Bai Gu stared at the young Taoist with very sincere eyes.

The young Taoist raised his hands and begged for mercy, "Xiao Baigu, Brother Bai, Uncle Bai, I'm a poor Taoist, can you just admit defeat?"

Bai Gu pointed at the young Taoist, "There are many people today, so I won't hit you, just because I don't want you to be too embarrassed. But I won't do it next time. If I don't knock out two of your teeth again, my surname will not be Bai!"

Being pointed at the nose and threatened like this, the young Taoist still smiled. He stepped forward and wrapped Bai Gu's finger with both hands, pressed it, and looked at Nan Yu again, "Easy to say, easy to say, no, no, little.

What are you doing here today? And who is the little girl next to you?"

Bai Gu retracted his hand, but gave the young Taoist a warning look, telling him to restrain himself. His squinty eyes almost fell out of his head, "We are here to offer incense for Mr. Wu. Her name is Nan Yu,

He's from Wu Lao Pharmacy."

Bai Gu deliberately emphasized the word "Mr. Wu" very hard.

Nan Yu gave him a blessing and said, "Nan Yu has seen the Taoist priest."

"Hey, it's easy to talk." The young Taoist was particularly impressed by Nan Yu's words, and the smile on his face suddenly became wider.

The little girl is nice, much more polite than this brat.

They are really different people of the same age!

The young Taoist rolled his eyes and said, "You just said you were here to offer incense for Mr. Wu? You should have told me earlier, come with the poor Taoist, this place is familiar to the poor Taoist."

With that said, the young Taoist jumped off the railing and walked to the square.

Bai Gu was doubtful, but after looking at the crowd in front of him who couldn't move at all, he decided to take a gamble.

Bai Gu jumped onto the railing, turned over and landed on the square. He was a little unsteady and almost fell to his knees.

Bai Gu glanced at the young Taoist and asked, "Is it possible?"

"I believe Pindao. Pindao is very familiar with the goddess here and is easy to talk to." The young Taoist was full of confidence.

Bai Gu's eyes became more suspicious, "Could it be yours..."

The young Taoist hurriedly covered Bai Gu's mouth, "Don't talk nonsense! This poor Taoist has been innocent all his life, so don't throw dirty water around!"

Bai Gu shook off the young Taoist and waved to Nan Yu, "Nan Yu, come here."

Nan Yu shouted: "Then you have to catch me down there!"

Bai Gu nodded and pressed the young Taoist's head again.

Nan Yu climbed over the railing and jumped.

Bai Gu motioned for the young Taoist to pick him up. After all, the young Taoist was slightly taller and would be safer than picking up Nan Yu himself.

The young Taoist had no choice but to take a few steps forward, open his hands, and prepare to pick up someone.

But he didn't expect Nan Yu to swerve and hit Bai Gu straight at him.

Bai Gu couldn't dodge and was directly pressed under Nan Yu.

The young Taoist looked surprised and quickly ran over to help Nan Yu. Seeing that Nan Yu was okay, the young Taoist helped Bai Gu and asked him if he was okay.

Bai Gu looked at the young Taoist's beaten face and listened to his fake inquiry. He was so angry that he grabbed the young Taoist's collar and said, "You did it on purpose, didn't you? You really thought I didn't dare.

beat you?"

The young Taoist raised his hands with an innocent look on his face, "It's really not the Taoist's fault. I can only blame you for your bad luck."

Nan Yu also hurriedly came over to smooth things over, "Bai Gu, Taoist Priest is kind enough to pick me up. It's my own dancing problem. Don't blame Taoist Priest."

Bai Gu looked at Nan Yu, then at the young Taoist, and pushed the young Taoist away bitterly without saying anything.

Bai Gu's intuition told him that this must be the fault of the young Taoist. Otherwise, why would Nan Yu suddenly jump to his side? Bai Gu and the young Taoist were several meters apart. How could there be such an outrageous mistake?
