The City God's Temple is a very important scenic spot in Donghai. Many ancient buildings in Donghai have been demolished during the process of socialist construction. The City God's Temple is one of the few remaining historic sites.
With the opening up of society, people began to enter the City God's Temple to burn incense. Therefore, the City God's Temple was also a lot of chores.
If Chang Xing really takes over the entire Chenghuang Temple, these chores will bore him to death. Fortunately, Zhou Shaonan has been considerate and has already arranged for someone to take care of these chores. Anyway, Chang Xing doesn't care about the loss of power. Zhou Shaonan
Giving the City God's Temple to Chang Xing is a good idea to sell Chang Xing. Because the Zushi Temple and Chang Xing's residence are almost connected. There are still many idle places in the Zushi Temple, and the environmental conditions are much better than Chang Xing's residence. Finally,
The important thing is that the place is big enough.
Zhou Shaonan knew that Chang Xing had a villa in Xiangjiang, a manor owned by a boss, and there were only a few villas in it. Zhou Shaonan even visited it, and when he got there, he knew that the manor was not simple. Chang Xing was proficient in formations, and it was easy to build such a spiritually rich manor.
A cave-like place.
Although the land in Donghai is not so valuable, it is not that easy to find a garden as big as Xiangjiang in Donghai. If this continues, Chang Xing may not be able to live in Donghai for a long time. Zhou Shaonan naturally hopes that Chang Xing will not live in Donghai for a long time.
Xing could stay in the East China Sea, so that he could get closer to the water first, and the relationship with Chang Xing would become stronger and stronger.
Chang Xing agreed and finally came to take a look. Zhou Shaonan quickly spared all his time and personally accompanied Chang Qing to the Chenghuang Temple.
"Except for the area open to the public in the City God's Temple, most places are actually inaccessible to ordinary tourists. These places used to be places where the Taoist priests of the City God's Temple rested and practiced, and the area was quite large. When the City God's Temple was at its peak, it was said that
He had hundreds of monks. Later he experienced wars and
During the previous movement, the monks here fled and dispersed. Now there is no real monk here. They are all tenants living here. Now most of the tenants have arranged housing. The remaining
Even the few residents can solve their housing problems quickly," said Zhou Shaonan.
Chang Xing found a higher place and took a look at the overall layout of the City God's Temple: "The place is not small. It is just in disrepair and has been severely damaged. It will be a big project to repair this area of houses."
"Yes. It's a pity that such a good place has been ruined like this. This used to be one of the holy places for monks in the East China Sea." Zhou Shaonan said.
"Director Zhou gave me this place, what's his purpose?" Chang Xing looked at Zhou Shaonan and smiled.
Zhou Shaonan did not dare to play tricks in front of Chang Xing, and quickly confessed: "Friend Chang, I do have selfish motives in handing over the City God's Temple to you. I have been to your manor in Xiangjiang. The place there is smaller than the City God's Temple. But I
I have been there once and know the conditions there. The concentration of spiritual energy there
No less than the small world of Tunghai University. There are no dangers that the small world of the East China Sea faces all the time. Before Fellow Daoist Chang arranged the formations, a group of monks who entered the small world of Tunghai University to try their luck would die every year.
The spirit beasts are so ferocious that if you are not careful, you will lose your life."
"Do you want me to set up the spirit gathering array here in the City God's Temple? So that people from your religious affairs bureau can come and practice?" Chang Xing finally understood Zhou Shaonan's intention.
Zhou Shaonan smiled and said: "That's the plan. Fellow Daoist Chang, every year our religious affairs bureau sends monks to the small world, some of them will lose their lives in the small world. The reason is that they are too weak and cannot stand it.
The fierce attack of the spiritual beasts in the small world. The reason why they took the risk to go to the small world is just because they want to find an opportunity to break through in their cultivation. The spiritual energy in the small world is very rich, and the speed of cultivation is faster. It is also more dangerous."
"You want me to take over the City God's Temple, and then expect me to set up the spirit gathering array here, and then let people from your religious affairs bureau come in to practice. Right?" Chang Xing said.
Zhou Shaonan nodded: "Of course, I must ask for the consent of Fellow Daoist Chang. If Fellow Daoist Chang insists on refusing, I will naturally not force it."
After Zhou Shaonan finished speaking, he looked at Chang Xing nervously, fearing that Chang Xing would directly reject him.
Chang Xing thought for a while, "There is no problem in setting up the spirit gathering array here. There is no problem in letting people from your religious affairs bureau come to practice. It's just..."
Seeing Chang Xing's hesitation, Zhou Shaonan quickly said: "Fellow Daoist Chang, if you have any difficulties, just ask. Our Clan Affairs Bureau will do our best to solve it."
"It's okay for some people to come in, but they can only be in certain places now. No one can disturb me," Chang Xing said.
"Please rest assured about this issue, fellow Daoist Chang. The people who come are all carefully selected by our Clan Affairs Bureau, and there will definitely be no problems. Our Clan Affairs Bureau can also be considered a disciplinary force and enforces orders and prohibitions." Zhou Shaonan said.
Changxing now also needs to provide a suitable place for Wu Wanyi and Chang Qing to practice. Although the concentration of spiritual energy in the small world is high, at Changxing's level, they don't worry about the dangers in the small world. However, there are many inconveniences in practicing in the small world.
Wu Wanyi hopes that Chang Qing can live a more normal life in a city like Donghai. After all, it is much easier to get into college in Donghai than in most places in the country. Wu Wanyi naturally does not want to leave Donghai.
Chang Xing has no idea of returning to Xianji Bridge now. With the death of Lao Dao, the line connecting him to Xianji Bridge is beginning to be in jeopardy. Maybe in the future, when Zhang Dalei’s generation gets older, Chang Xing and Xianji Bridge will become the same.
It becomes more and more unfamiliar, and Chang Xing’s hometown may just become a sweet dream that will dissipate sooner or later. In the future, maybe wherever home is, Chang Xing’s new hometown will be.
Chang Xing walked around the City God's Temple and began to think about how to build a formation in the City God's Temple. Building a formation in the City God's Temple was much more difficult than building it in the manor in Xiangjiang. Because the City God's Temple could not be razed to the ground.
Let Changxing arrange it as he pleases. Therefore, Changxing must arrange it carefully according to the topography of the City God Temple.
Fortunately, the construction of the City God's Temple was the work of an expert. Although the house looks messy, everything actually coincides with the principle of Feng Shui. It also coincides with the principle of formation. It is a pity that after the construction of the City God's Temple was completed, many places
The transformation has had a great impact on the Qi of the City God Temple.
Chang Xing thought for several days before he found the most suitable plan.
Zhou Shaonan was very cooperative and dispatched all the strength of the Rural Affairs Bureau to assist Changxing in completing the renovation of the City God Temple.
"The cypress trees in this place need to be replaced with peach trees, the kind that are a little older." Chang Xing didn't arrive at the place. As soon as he gave the order, someone from the Rural Affairs Bureau immediately recorded it, and soon someone would arrive.
to execute.
"Fellow Daoist Chang ordered you to record it carefully without making any mistakes. Citizen, you are responsible for checking." Zhou Shaonan brought his left and right arms over, just to avoid making any mistakes.
Chang Xing only walked through the Chenghuang Temple once and remembered all the conditions here. In fact, it is not just as simple as the twists and turns of the courtyard. After all, in order to arrange the formation, one must take into account the movement of the air of heaven and earth. Anything can happen.
One mistake can lead to misunderstandings
Therefore, the formation will naturally not be effective. Therefore, Chang Xing not only walked around the City God's Temple, but also took advantage of the night to fly into the sky. He also overlooked the City God's Temple in the high school and felt the movement of the heaven and earth in the City God's Temple. Finally, he
Determine the array layout.
This time, it was not only the transplanting of plants, but also the repair of houses, and even the demolition of some unfavorable buildings.
For a time, the construction of the City God's Temple was in full swing. Some people even went to the city to complain, saying that the City God's Temple was a restoration of feudal superstition. Fortunately, Zhou Shaonan had already reached an agreement with the city. This time, the construction of the City God's Temple was in the name of repairing historic sites.
name.
Although a lot of manpower and material resources were invested, the construction of the entire City God Temple still took almost three months.
When it reopened, many people walked into the City God's Temple. It seemed that the City God's Temple had not changed at all, but they felt that the City God's Temple felt completely different from before.
"Do you feel that the City God's Temple is different from before?" asked a tourist who entered the City God's Temple.
"There is something different. When I offered incense to the City God just now, I felt that the City God's Temple was more divine than before. Could it be that after the renovation, the gods became more effective?"
"Well, it should be."
"Hurry up and worship some more gods."
Zhou Shaonan listened to the words of those tourists, smiled, and walked to the inner courtyard. Where is the immortal more efficacious? It is obvious that after the formation was activated, the aura of the entire City God Temple area suddenly increased a hundred times. Compared with the small world of Donghai University
The aura inside is even more intense. Ordinary people can feel the difference when they get here. Naturally, the feeling of worshiping gods is also very different.
Zhou Shaonan walked to the inner courtyard where Chang Xing lived. Chang Xing was now not like an ordinary monk who meditated every day, but more like an ordinary craftsman. He took a carving knife and slowly carved the same sculpture every day.
His carving speed now is actually faster than before
The carving knife in Chang Xing's hand was moving even more slowly. In the past, I could only see the carving knife in his hand was spinning, and the wood chips on the wood carvings were flying down. Now, I can't see his carving knife moving for a long time. The wood carving in Chang Xing's hand has been empty for a long time.
The change was as if Chang Xing had forgotten to use the knife.
Zhou Shaonan walked into the courtyard and sat aside, not daring to say a word. He just sat aside and waited quietly for Chang Xing to greet him.
Zhou Shaonan sat in the yard for almost an hour before the carving knife in Chang Xing's hand moved. But with this move, the wood carving in his hand seemed to come alive, and a vivid horse appeared in Chang Xing's hand.
"What's wrong with you? The formations in the City God's Temple have been put into operation, and people from your religious affairs bureau have also come in?" Chang Xing put the horse on the table.
Zhou Shaonan actually felt like galloping when he saw the wooden carved horse.
"Someone brought a spiritual beast out of the small world, but after leaving the small world, it lost control and its whereabouts are unknown." Zhou Shaonan said.
"Since you know the danger of spiritual beasts, why did you allow him to take the spiritual beasts out?" Chang Xing asked in confusion.
"This spiritual beast has been with the monk for a long time, and it looks no different from a spiritual pet. It has also made a lot of contributions in the small world. Therefore, when the monk brings it out, we can't stop it. Who can
I thought that after the spiritual beast left the small world, it went crazy and bit the monk to death without warning, and then quickly disappeared." Zhou Shaonan said.
"When did it happen?" Chang Xing asked. His home is not far from the small world of Donghai University. If the spiritual beast goes crazy, his family will also be threatened.
"That's what happened this morning. After the accident, our Clan Affairs Bureau hunted the whole city, but that thing was so cunning that it actually hid it." Zhou Shaonan said awkwardly.
"What exactly is that spiritual beast?" Chang Xing asked.
"Dragon scale dog." Zhou Shaonan handed a picture of a dragon scale dog to Chang Xing's hand.
The Dragon Scale Dog has scales all over its body, its head looks a bit like a dragon, and every part of its body is very similar to a dog.
"It's about the same size as an ordinary wolf dog. It's really because its camouflage is so confusing that we were careless. I have given an order that no spiritual beasts are allowed to be released into the small world in the future. Originally, there was a formation
Now, there is no way for the spirit beast to escape." Zhou Shaonan said regretfully.
"What is this dragon-scaled dog doing outside? Isn't it as comfortable outside as in the small world?" Chang Xing asked in confusion.
"That's right. I don't understand. No matter how powerful it is, as long as it dares to do any bad things, we will find its traces sooner or later." Zhou Shaonan said.
"This spiritual beast cannot be treated as an ordinary beast. It ran out deliberately, and it must have its purpose. It certainly does not want to run outside to be free, that is, it has a conspiracy. But what can it plan? Could it be?
Do you want to attack our rear area and surround Wei and rescue Zhao?" Chang Xing was confused.
"All the people from our religious affairs bureau have been sent out, and some monks have been recruited from the small world. The town is conducting a search throughout the city. I am worried that this dragon-scaled dog will go to places with strong spiritual energy. Many places in the City God's Temple are
It's open, even dragon scale dogs can run in. So, I came here to tell you." Zhou Shaonan said.
"Okay, I understand. Nothing will happen in the City God's Temple. If it enters the City God's Temple, I will definitely be able to find it soon. In my formation, it has nowhere to hide." Chang Xing said about the formation he arranged.
Still very confident.
After Zhou Shaonan left, Chang Xing took the newly carved wood carving back home. He was a little worried about Wu Wanyi's safety. The Chenghuang Temple had just been built, and Wu Wanyi was busy supervising Chang Qing's college entrance examination review. So Wu Wanyi was alone at this time.
at home.
In a bush not far from Chang Xing's house, a dragon-scaled dog poked its head out of the bush, looked around, sniffed the air, and walked straight in the direction of Chang Xing's house.
