Am I... consecrating myself to the gods with just one word?!
Qin Shaoyou looked at Cai Guizhong, who was covered in golden light, in disbelief.
What he said just now was not only to affirm Cai Guizhong's ability, character and achievements, but also to show that he didn't know how to evaluate Cai Guizhong.
His original idea was that after praising Cai Guizhong, he would take him to the lobby and invite the founder of Jiutiandang Demon to take the test.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Cai Guizhong, who got his approval, immediately became a city god!
So Qin Shaoyou was a little confused for a while, his head was filled with all kinds of questions:
Am I so powerful?
Damn it, my mouth is not only flexible in tongue, but also fully opened.
Then if I grant gods to myself or others, will I be successful?
If I can really succeed, why should I be a night watchman? If I just give myself the title of Xuantian God or Demon-Danger God, wouldn't I be able to take the throne of the Grandmaster and sit on my own?
The old emperor in the capital who wants to become an immortal is still making elixirs and holding Dharma gatherings. Why don't you just come and beg me?
Of course, Qin Shaoyou just wanted to think about these things in his heart.
He knew very well that this would probably not work.
Just at this time, Zhu Xiucai, who had recovered from the shock, was eager that Cai Guizhong could be made a god, so he pulled Qin Shaoyou and said with great expectation: "Sir, you can make me a god too!"
Qin Shaoyou rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "Do you want to make you a broom star?"
"Yes."
Zhu Xiucai didn't care, and was even very happy.
"The broom star is not bad. After all, it is to make others unlucky, not to bring disaster to myself. If I become the broom star, I will punish whoever does bad things to be unlucky. The more bad things I do, the worse the bad luck will be, then the world will not change.
Peace?"
Qin Shaoyou was stunned. He didn't expect Zhu Xiucai to have such ambitions, nor did he expect that a priest like a broom star could be manipulated by him.
All I can say is that this is indeed Zhu Xiucai.
After Qin Shaoyou sighed secretly, he smiled bitterly and said, "Do I really think I have the ability to make a god? Xiao Cai, the city god, was not made by me, but elected by all the people."
At this moment, Qin Shaoyou also figured it out.
The reason why Cai Guizhong became the City God is because his previous efforts and sacrifices were recognized and praised by the people of Mianyuan County.
The common people regret his passing and hope that his spirit in heaven can continue to protect Mianyuan County and ensure its peace.
It was under the influence of the people's will that Cai Guizhong returned to the Yang world from the underworld and became a preparatory city god.
Qin Shaoyou is not so much a conferring god, as he is representing the officials and people of Mianyuan County to accept and recognize Cai Guizhong as the new city god.
If you really try to get him to keep his word, I'm afraid it won't have any effect at all.
After listening to Qin Shaoyou's explanation, Zhu Xiucai somewhat understood, but he still didn't give up and still wanted to give it a try.
After all, this is becoming a god. Even if the chance is slim, who wouldn't want to give it a try as long as there is a chance?
First Qin Shaoyou couldn't defeat Zhu Xiucai, but secondly he wanted to give it a try. What if his mouth was really opened and it would have the effect of the "God List"?
However, he tried again and again, but no matter whether he counted Zhu Xiucai's various achievements and abilities or tried other things, he could not make Zhu Xiucai shine and become a god.
Cui Yougui, who was watching, stabbed quietly at this moment: "I finally understand, scholar, if you really want to become a god like Cai Lishi, you have to die once."
Zhu Xiucai said angrily: "Gungun, I haven't lived enough, and you expect me to die? Besides, I only have this life. What if I don't become a god after death?"
Qin Shaoyou felt that what Senior Brother Cui said was somewhat reasonable.
Although Zhu Xiucai, like Cai Guizhong, was loved by the people of Mianyuan County, he neither died nor left the Yaozhen Division. Naturally, the people of Mianyuan County would not pray to heaven and earth to let him get the incense and people's wishes.
, and became the god who protects the people.
Maybe Zhu Xiucai died and the people were grateful to him, so maybe he could become a god.
But this is all speculation, and Qin Shaoyou doesn't want Zhu Xiucai to die, so whether this is the case will have to wait until later to find out.
At this time, the golden light emanating from Cai Guizhong finally dissipated, and he returned to his previous appearance, except that the clothes he wore and the crown on his head changed to those of the City God.
"Thank you, sir, for being a god!"
Cai Guizhong gratefully bowed his hands to Qin Shaoyou.
Qin Shaoyou waved his hand with a smile: "No need to thank me, you can become a city god because it is the wish of thousands of people in Mianyuan County. I hope you can keep in mind the mission of protecting the environment and the people in the future and do it well consistently!"
Cai Guizhong clasped his hands in his fists and responded in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, sir, I, Cai Guizhong, will definitely keep my mission in mind and will never let you and the people down!"
"Okay!" Qin Shaoyou nodded with satisfaction.
Zhu Xiucai adjusted his mentality at this moment, came up and asked curiously: "Xiao Cai, do your old mother and young daughter-in-law know about you returning to the world and becoming a city god?"
Cai Guizhong shook his head: "I haven't told them yet. I was just a preparatory city god before. I don't know if I can successfully become a regular city god. I'm afraid that if I tell them, but I fail to become a regular person and stay in the world, wouldn't it mean that I have to suffer them twice?"
harm?"
Qin Shaoyou nodded, Cai Guizhong's worry was not unreasonable.
He thought for a while and said: "Then you can tell them now. Hey, since you have become a city god, you should be able to tell them in dreams, right? Why don't you tell them in dreams tonight, and then I will send someone to Lingjie Town tomorrow?
, take them both to the county town. Your City God’s Temple also lacks temple blessings to help with cleaning. They are just suitable and can be reunited with you. Your body is also over there in Lingjie Town. I specifically asked them not to be in a hurry to bury it together.
Take it and see if it can reunite your body and soul."
Cai Guizhong naturally didn't get what he asked for, so he thanked him profusely.
Zhu Xiucai said: "When the time comes, ask your wife if she has any unmarried sisters and introduce them to me."
After a pause, he curiously asked: "I saw that the City God in the temple was accompanied by civil and military judges, patrolling day and night, black and white, and other subordinates. Why are you alone?"
Cai Guizhong smiled wryly and spread his hands: "I have just become a full-time employee. Where did the subordinates come from? Now I am the only one in the Chenghuang Yamen, and everything has to be built from scratch."
Qin Shaoyou's heart moved and he asked: "Then where do you recruit all the ghosts and ghosts under your command? Can you let your colleagues who have sacrificed in the past be allowed to serve?"
Cai Guizhong replied: "It should be possible. After I became a city god, I gained some authority and could travel between the yin and yang worlds. I plan to go down soon to look for my colleagues who died in the past. If they have not entered reincarnation, I will ask
According to their opinions, those who are willing can be taken back to the Yang world and serve as ghosts and ghosts."
When Zhu Xiucai heard this, his eyes lit up instantly.
He rubbed his hands and said to Cai Guizhong: "Xiao Cai, Cai Chenghuang, Mr. Cai, let's discuss it and leave the position of civil judge at your place for me. What if I die one day, brother?"
Come to you."
Before Cai Guizhong could speak, Cui Yougui frowned and shouted: "Xiucai, can you say something auspicious?"
Zhu Xiucai didn't take it seriously.
"We, the people of the Demon Suppression Department, deal with danger every day. No one knows who will come first tomorrow or death. Whether it is good or not is unlucky, we have already looked away. But you, the veteran, don't want me to die. It's strange. It seems that you
This person also has a sharp mouth and a soft heart."
Senior Brother Cui's face darkened, he snorted, and was too lazy to talk to Zhu Xiucai any more.
Zhu Xiucai smiled and continued to pester Cai Guizhong.
Cai Guizhong couldn't resist him, so he could only smile bitterly and agree to keep the position of judge Wen. At the same time, he said: "With Master Zhu's ability, he will definitely be able to be a city god in the future, or the kind of city god of a big county or mansion. I have a small temple."
I’m afraid there’s no room for a great god like you inside.”
"I didn't expect you, Cai Chenghuang, to be good at talking." Zhu Xiucai laughed happily, and then said: "It would be best if I could also be the city god. Then we can cooperate to ensure the safety of both sides. If you can't do it, come here
I can come to you and be a civil judge for you. I can write judgments and investigate cases. I am still qualified."
