After seeing off the city god, Lu Bai did not return to his house.
He looked up at the sky. The clouds were thick and dark in the cold air, and there was no trace of light.
Ascend.
Knock on the Immortal Gate.
There are many secrets in the sky.
Lu Bai took a sip of wine, then clicked on the panel to hide the stars, summoned the lottery screen, and chose the lottery.
After Lu Bai took another sip of wine, the panel stopped and a rattle appeared in Lu Bai's field of vision.
"this--"
Lu Bai was speechless. What was the use of a rattle? He didn't have a son. Moreover, the name of the rattle was also strange. It was purple in color and was called "Ghost Rattle". The introduction was simple: shake it and there will be a surprise.
Lu Bai was confused. He exchanged the rattle and shook it in disbelief. "I don't believe it. This thing can also play WeChat. If you shake the rattle, it won't work."
Boom, boom, boom.
The sound of the rattle is very clear, and in the silent night, it is like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in circles.
Lu Bai waited for a while, but there was no movement. Just as he was about to go back to the house, he suddenly saw a cloud of gray mist in front of him. The mist quickly rotated, absorbed, and then turned into a person. He fell from mid-air to the ground, spun three times like a top, and then fainted.
He stood up dizzy, and without raising his head, he raised his hands and said, "The city god has seen you, sir."
Lu Bai didn't speak. He had a strange look on his face. The person standing in front of him was none other than the City God who had just left.
"This thing -" Lu Bai looked at the rattle and was convinced. Shaking it was really a surprise.
It was a surprise to Lu Bai, but not so happy to the City God.
He had just left Lu Bai's place in embarrassment. Before he could catch his breath, a force suddenly summoned him somewhere. That was all. The key was that the summoning spell made him dizzy.
I feel dizzy and I'm going to throw up if I spin around again.
After finally enduring the dizziness, the City God raised his head and continued to salute, "Sir, a certain——"
He was stunned.
Lu Bai waved to him, "Hello."
"You, this-" Cheng Huang was stunned.
Generally, only the superior of the City God has the right to use this summoned spell, and the superior of the City God is the Night Travel God.
These night wandering gods often patrol among the people, responsible for supervising the city god and promptly reporting the people's conditions to the Peach Blossom Temple, thereby helping the holy king to control the entire court.
Of course, due to the decline of Peach Blossom Temple, this underworld team has been almost paralyzed. The night wandering gods have not been able to see each other for three to five years. When the city god took office, he had not seen the city god yet. When he was summoned this time, he thought he was the city god.
When it came, I was shocked.
He was still feeling uneasy. The person in front of him was clearly the envoy he had just avoided. Why did this envoy use the magic of the Night Wandering God to summon the city god? Could it be that he had become the Night Wandering God?
No, the Night God is the official of the underworld, so he should be a ghost.
He couldn't help but want to find an answer, "Sir, you——"
Lu Bai didn't speak, he was also thinking about it.
After the city god was summoned, he ignored his own dizziness and bowed his head to the Lord first. Moreover, he was not surprised by the summons. It was obvious that he knew this spell.
Lu Bai immediately thought that the Shangguan of the City God used this kind of magic to summon the City God.
"Ahem." Lu Bai coughed dryly and said: "You are you, and I am me. I just spoke to you as the envoy of Nanzhen and Fuzhen. I wanted to give you a chance to confess and be lenient, but I didn't expect that in exchange for
It turned out to be perfunctory. In this case, I will show my cards and won't hide it from you. I will now interrogate you as a superior."
"Ah, Shangguan?"
The city god was shocked, could a man really be a night wandering god?
Lu Bai sneered, "Why, you still refuse to tell the truth?"
His original intention was to bluff and let the City God tell him about using money to buy an official position. Unexpectedly, the City God heard this and panicked for a moment. He sat down on the ground and said, "Sir, this, this doesn't matter.
My matter is that Carpenter Zhang’s daughter prayed in the City God’s Temple, and then she was willing to die and become a ghost to serve me in exchange for me to uphold justice for her parents. This has nothing to do with me. Sir, I was also forced to do so.
He is also a victim."
Lu Bai was stunned, "What did you say? Where is Carpenter Zhang's daughter now?"
"Here, at the City God's Temple."
"Someone died?"
The City God heard Lu Bai's unkind tone and nodded tremblingly, "Dead, dead."
Lu Bai didn't pretend to be happy about the big news, but felt sad in his heart. Is Zhang Carpenter's family ruined just like this?
He calmed down and felt that the City God still had many things to say: "Where is the soul of Carpenter Zhang's daughter now?"
He decided to interrogate Carpenter Zhang's daughter directly. In this way, everything would be understood.
The City God was trembling, his body was like chaff, "Here, in the City God's Temple."
Lu Bai said coldly: "Bring her here, I want to question her personally."
"This-" City God hesitated.
"Huh?" Lu Bai stared at him coldly, took out a ghost-expelling talisman again in his hand, and reminded the city god, "Don't try to delay and play tricks. If I can't wait any longer, I'll call you over later!
"
"Yes, yes." The City God looked bitter.
He can't run away now, his life is in this man's hand.
He stood up and walked out in disgrace. After taking a few steps, he was stopped by Lu Bai again.
Lu Bai's face softened and he smiled: "You must be curious about why I, a living person, can be your superior officer, right?"
The city god nodded, he really couldn't figure it out.
Lu Bai smiled, "How did you become the City God?"
The city god was surprised, "You, your night wandering god's official position was bought by a living person?!"
After thinking about it, the City God thought it was not impossible. These days, he could buy the City God with money. Some people paid a higher price to buy a Yin official. Although he thought there would not be such a stupid person, it was normal for a stupid person to appear occasionally.
.
There is no money to be gained from being a yin official. At most, he will get a lot of paper money. There is no reason. A ghost asks his descendants to spend money to buy him a yin official. He can also say that he does not want to be reincarnated and has thought about becoming an official. This job
People spend their money to be a netherworld official - should they sell netherworld coins at home?
Lu Bai felt relieved after hearing what the City God said.
He knows what kind of official he can be now, Ye Youshen, this is a good official.
Lu Bai nodded and said: "As long as you have money, nothing is impossible. The price I paid is eighteen hundred times what you paid. By the way, someone once killed the Dragon King in a dream, so it is not impossible for a living person to become a Yin official."
In the dramas of this world, there are also many stories of upright officials and famous ministers settling cases during the day and yin and yang at night.
The city god was completely convinced.
He left dejectedly, secretly lamenting his bad luck and hoping to escape this disaster.
After the City God left, Lu Bai had people take the guards in Jinyi and the thugs who killed Zhang Carpenter's wife to the front lobby, and then retreated to the left and right, waiting for the City God to come.
The city god knew that his destiny was in Lu Bai's hands and he could not hide away, so he simply stopped hiding and quickly brought Zhang Carpenter's daughter to Lu Bai.
"Sir, this is Miaogu, the daughter of Carpenter Zhang." The city god turned sideways, pointed at the ethereal female ghost beside him, and said to Lu Bai cautiously.
Lu Bai nodded and looked up and down at Carpenter Zhang's daughter. He saw that she was as beautiful as a flower and was indescribably charming. No wonder so many people were thinking about her.
Lu Bai shook his head helplessly. In this world, it is a crime for a good-looking person to live in a poor family.
He pointed to the Jinyi Guardsmen and others who were detained nearby, "This is your father, the one who beat your mother. I have already made the decision for you and captured them."
Zhang Carpenter's daughter Miao Gu saw them as soon as she came in. If the hatred in her eyes was enough to kill people, the Jinyi Guardsmen and the scoundrels would not be able to die even ten times.
Of course, the Jinyi guards and the gangsters were equally uncomfortable.
They couldn't see ghosts, so when they saw Lu Bai talking to the air, they couldn't help but feel frightened and became very timid.
After hearing Lu Bai's question, Miaogu looked away, and Pingting saluted, "Thank you, sir, for upholding justice for this little girl."
Although there are many doubts in front of her, such as why Lu Bai, as a Jin Yiwei, made the city god tremble, etc., but for a woman who sacrificed herself not long ago just for revenge, these are nothing, so she is facing the Jin Yiwei.
When you are waiting for someone other than the murderer, there will be no ripples in the ancient well, neither sadness nor joy.
She continued to say in a calm tone: "If you can avenge the little girl, the little girl will be willing to do anything like a cow or a horse." After that, Miaogu bowed again. The difference is that this time the salute was deliberate, and she deliberately
Her exquisite figure and beautiful buttocks were revealed.
Lu Bai remained unmoved.
He is not a poor scholar, but he is interested in whipping corpses.
Lu Bai waved his hand, "Don't worry, Miao Gu, I would like to ask you, is it really your wish to die as a ghost to serve the City God?"
Miaogu looked at the city god with a searching look in her eyes. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "It's what the little girl wishes."
The city god breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Bai chuckled indifferently, "Let me ask you, how do you know that the City God's Temple is efficacious?"
Miaogu said softly: "On weekdays, when neighbors encounter unclear cases, they will go to the City God's Temple to pray to the City God. It is quite effective, so I know that the City God's Temple is very effective."
These days, if there is a case, it needs to be clearly understood. Not to mention alerting the county magistrate, even if it alerts the government officials, it will have to be dealt with and money will be wasted. Therefore, ordinary people generally do not go to the government if they can. Instead, they ask the elders in the village to do it.
As a testimony, they argued with each other in the Chenghuang Temple and argued that it was a matter of course.
If you still can't argue, it's time to ask the City God.
Cheng Huang's face gradually relaxed, and Miao Gu stood on his side. He felt that he was going to escape this disaster.
Lu Bai asked casually: "The people who prayed told you personally what they prayed for, and then told you what happened?"
Aunt Miao didn't know why Lu Bai asked this, so she nodded gently in confusion.
"Oh, who told me that the City God only accepts cases in which the victim is a ghost, so when Zuo Ling and Youshe decide a case, they have to kill someone to be the victim." Lu Bai looked at the City God.
The City God's heart skipped a beat, "Sir, I -"
Lu Bai ignored him and asked Miaogu again, "How do you know that after your death you will become a ghost and serve the City God, and the City God will avenge you? If no one agrees, how dare you place your trust in such an illusory thing?"
Miao Gu remained calm, "As an official, I don't make decisions for the people. I can only rely on illusory things. What dare I not do?"
Yo ho!
The little girl was sharp-tongued and arrogant. If she were still alive, Lu Bai would definitely accept her as his disciple.
This Jinyi guardhouse man is also a loser.
This kind of beautiful and talented woman had to take advantage of her, but now the gains outweighed the losses, and she was so scared that she almost peed her pants. It turned out that when they saw Lu Bai's words being serious, they even called her "Miao Gu" to the air, and they immediately understood that there was a high probability that there was something wrong.
The ghosts were nearby, and they hated them so much that the people in the Jinyi Guardhouse were so frightened that they dared not breathe.
Even so, Lu Bai had a way to make Aunt Miao tell the truth.
He pointed.
boom!
A rogue beat up a girl. His head exploded like a watermelon, and his brains splashed all over the royal guards and other ruffians. The rogues were so frightened that they urinated. If they hadn't been tied up, they would have escaped long ago.
"If you tell the truth, I will let you watch them die. If you don't tell the truth -"
Lu Bai smiled and said, "I will escort them to the capital. By the way, the father of this Jinyiweisheren is Qianhu, the Jinyiwei of the capital."
Miaogu stopped talking.
The lobby fell silent for a while, and Cheng Huang's entire face turned frighteningly white.
"I said." After weighing it up, Miao Gu spoke up, "I have dreamed of the City God many times in my dreams, seducing me into having an affair with him, and repeatedly urging me to serve him in my dreams.
When Mrs. Chenghuang. After my father was imprisoned by Jin Yiwei, he even entrusted me with a dream, saying that as long as I agreed, my father's life would be safe."
This dream once or twice can only be regarded as an erotic dream.
After the dream happened many times, Miao Gu knew that nine out of ten times, this city god really existed.
So, after her mother was beaten to death and there was no other room for mediation, Miaogu chose to die in revenge.
"Tsk, tsk."
Lu Bai looked at the City God, "This is what I mean by serving you willingly?"
"Sir!" Cheng Huang hurriedly defended, "Nothing in the dream can be taken as real, not to mention that her death was her own fault, and it has nothing to do with me, my lord -"
Lu Bai asked him to shut up.
This guy lied too much, and Lu Bai didn't bother to argue with him to avoid wasting his brain cells.
"Putting aside this matter, you are also evil-minded and have repeatedly seduced the daughters of the people. You cannot be a city god." Lu Bai waved to him and asked him to bring up the official seal.
The city god said anxiously: "Sir, this is not the case, we are both buyers of official positions——"
A ghost-expelling talisman appeared in Lu Bai's hand, and the city god's arguing voice gradually became quieter.
"Don't worry, I will give you a chance. You can temporarily work as a scribe in the City God's Temple to pay for your crimes and perform meritorious service." That's what Lu Bai said. He was not really a night wandering god. After he left, the City God turned around and reported.
, exposed his identity, got back his official silver, and continued to be the city god, that was something he couldn't control.
As for what happened after he pretended to be a night traveler——
Peach Blossom Temple is in terrible decline now. Lu Bai is not afraid of Yiqiu Villa, let alone Peach Blossom Temple.
As for the official seal——
Lu Bai thought about it, since he was an official, he must have an official seal and other things to prove his official status. If he took these things, at least now he would have the official status of the City God.
The City God thought that Lu Bai was genuine. Since he could be punished and made meritorious deeds, it was not too bad, so he obediently took out a jade seal from his sleeve and put it on the desk in front of Lu Bai.
As soon as Lu Bai received the official seal, the panel immediately reminded him that he had a chance to draw a lottery. At the same time, the panel automatically jumped to Lu Bai's eyes, and a line of words appeared——
