Mr. Su of the Huang family led a group of bewildered Huang family children, looked at Yu Lie, and thought in confusion:
"Then the ghosts and gods are here to find this little kid from the Yu family? Could it be that he has committed a crime outside and wants to implicate the Yu family..."
As soon as this thought worthy of schadenfreude popped up, Mr. Huang Jiasuo noticed that the gongs and other sounds in the hall were making loud noises. It was not sad music, but musical sounds!
Mr. Huang's eyes widened, and he recalled that ghosts and gods did not blow locks or blow horns when they took people away.
Among the Huang family, except for the old man of the Huang family, the female Taoist among them also realized this. She was surprised and looked at Yu Lie in disbelief:
"Third brother, are you inviting... ghosts and gods to celebrate?!"
On the contrary, it was the Yu family and others. Because the family was already in turmoil, they did not react for a while. They were in a state of being frightened by ghosts and gods and did not dare to have any hope.
Fortunately, the next moment, the ghost and god standing in front of Yu Lie did not take out the shackles and iron chains from his sleeves and robes, took Yu Lie's hands, and said, "It's your fault" without opening his mouth.
It stood, but bowed slightly, bowed to Yu Lie, and said:
"Fellow Daoist Yu Lie, we say goodbye in Heishui Town. We haven't seen each other for several months. Do you still remember Pindao?"
Yu Lie was stunned for a moment, and he was immediately sure that the ghost and god in front of him was one of the ghosts and gods who came to aid Blackwater Town!
No wonder it seemed familiar to him.
It is said that in Heishui Town at that time, including Qianjun Chenghuang, there were a total of nine ghosts and gods stationed on the Dragon Qi Formation.
The ghosts and gods were in a stalemate for most of the day in front of Yu Lie and others, waiting for the Blackwater Temple Master to complete his transformation before taking action again. Therefore, whether it was Yu Lie and other Taoist boys from Heihe, or the nine ghosts and gods
, they had nothing to do, they all scanned the people around them and left impressions.
However, at the beginning, these ghosts and gods were the flesh and blood of the sixth-grade lizards, and they couldn't help but attack the Black River Taoist boys to steal their supplies. Therefore, the two sides did not have a good relationship at all, but had some disputes.
Yu Lie listened to the other party's call. He pondered and did not respond for a while.
Others in the field saw that the ghosts and gods were friendly towards Yu Lie, which was beyond their expectations. They also reacted belatedly:
"Hey! This person doesn't look like an evil person."
The patriarch of the Yu family trembled his eyebrows, and finally noticed the paper figures and horses behind the ghosts and gods. They were wearing gold and colorful clothes, and they were playing high-pitched happy tunes.
"Could it be..." The head of the Yu family secretly took a breath of air, and conjectures popped up in his mind.
Bang bang!
The hearts of many members of the Yu family were beating, and they looked expectantly at Yu Lie and the ghost. Their fear diminished and excitement began to emerge.
The seventh-level ghosts and gods saw Yu Lie silent, and squeezed out a few smiles on their stiff faces, making it look like they were smiling but not smiling.
But what it said next made its good intentions even more obvious:
"Pindao today is not out of malice, but out of goodwill. He is here just to congratulate fellow Taoist Yu Lie on his successful promotion to the eighth-level Taoist disciple and his return to our Diive County."
When these words were spoken, all the voices in the main hall of the Yu family fell silent, and then there were sounds of relieved breathing, and pairs of eyes lit up.
"Congratulations from ghosts and gods? Did Lie Ge'er marry some important person or achieve some great achievements?"
The faces of the Huang family members not far away became suspicious.
Old Huang Jiasu was confused and his mind sank:
"It's indeed a good thing, not a bad thing. Where does this descendant of the Yu family come from?"
Not only that, the seventh-level ghost and god paused for a moment, and then it even bowed its head and said:
"This time of congratulations, the poor Taoist came under the order of the City God, so he specially took lead pills, appeared in person, and brought troops and horses to build up his momentum."
"It's so abrupt and hasty, it's really disturbing." It raised its face covered with tattoos and looked at the head of the Yu family and other members of the Yu family next to it.
The word "City God" came out of the other person's mouth, causing many people in the hall to choke, thinking they had heard wrongly.
The head of the Yu family was surprised, his eyes widened, and he whispered hastily:
"Not rude, not rude, not intrusive!"
Buzzing! The discussion was completely uncontrollable, and anxious voices sounded from everywhere in the hall:
"Oh my God, these are the words of the City God!"
"I came here to congratulate you on the order of the City God. Has Yu Lie fallen into the City God's eyes?"
Everyone in the Huang family looked at Yu Lie and the ghost in disbelief.
The head of the Huang family, Mr. Su, couldn't stand it anymore. He thought in surprise: "Is the Yu family related to the City God?"
At this time, Yu Lie looked at the friendly ghosts and gods of Qianjun in front of him and felt happy in his heart: "It seems that the master of Blackwater Temple has not been caught yet, and if he is caught, he has not yet confessed me."
After confirming that there was no problem on this point, Yu Lie carefully sorted out his past and determined that there was nothing worthy of the ghosts and gods.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he didn't commit any crime, Yu Lie was already an eighth-level Taoist disciple. He had condensed his Taoism and connected his will to the immortal way. In fact, there was no need to be too frightened in front of ghosts and gods.
So he calmed down and said politely to the seventh-grade ghosts and gods in front of him:
"Thank you City God, thank you so much to the gods. This action is really a great show of love."
The seventh-grade ghost and god responded with a smile:
"How can a mere verbal congratulations be used as a gift for a fellow Taoist's promotion?"
It suddenly took out a golden scroll from its sleeve robe. The scroll was made purely of condensed spiritual light. It looked luxurious and solid, and was also mixed with dragon energy.
The seventh grade ghost and god immediately shouted:
"I was entrusted by the Immortal to carry Qianjun City God, and the edict said: There are still a few Taoist boys in Heishui Town who have merit in slaying demons, eliminate evil, and have merit in the battle of Heihe. They have become disciples in three years and have good qualifications. These talented and beautiful people have returned.
Qian County must not be abandoned."
It sang in a cadence:
"If the remaining Taoist disciples are promoted to the City God's Temple, they can get the position of a third-class temple priest, a quiet room in the temple, and a salary of ten thousand gold to encourage them to practice purity."
As soon as he said this, the Yu family and others at the scene couldn't hold back at all and shouted excitedly:
"The City God's Green Eyes! It's the City God's Green Eyes!"
"Brother Lie has fallen into the eyes of the City God and is valued by the City God!"
Although the Chenghuang Temple is a place where ghosts and gods are worshiped, there are also living Taoists in the temple. Because there is no need to deal with people, the work in the temple is much more noble and expensive than other positions.
Especially for the role of temple blessing, it can also directly communicate and have contact with ghosts and gods.
It can be said that any Taoist disciple, even if he is new to the city, does not have any followers or backers in the city. If he can get a position as a temple priest and manage the relationship a little bit, he will have followers and backers, which can be regarded as one of the top positions in Diving County.
.
Especially according to what the ghosts and gods in the hall said, Yu Lie’s position of temple blessing was personally ordered by the City God of the City God’s Temple!
Its value and significance are greater.
"The sky has eyes! My Yu family has the right to give birth to a child!"
Excited words surged in the main hall of the Yu family.
Given the current situation of the Yu family, Yu Lie's return today is timely, and he is in the eyes of the city god, and he is granted the position of temple blessing, which can completely change the dilapidated Yu family and give them a great chance to turn around.
The head of the Yu family was also excited. He opened his mouth and wanted to laugh, but he did not dare to be too rude in front of the ghosts and gods and ruin Yu Lie's good deeds, so he could only laugh dryly.
In addition, Mrs. Yu Tian was sitting on the Taishi chair. Her eyes were dazzled. Although she could not see clearly what the scene looked like, her face was rosy, proud and full of energy as she listened to the joyful speeches of the tribesmen.
Yu Tian kept saying: "Okay, okay, okay!"
As for the Huang family group next to them, they looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do.
Elder Huang's face showed a look of trouble and remorse: "Oops! I regret that I was so arrogant just now and stopped before I saw what was going on."
However, there was actually someone in the Huang family who was watching Yu Lie closely. Although the expression on his face was dull, there was a look of joy in his eyes.
This person is Yu Lie's second sister who married into the Huang family.
The female Taoist was surprised and happy in her heart: "Third brother, you are so capable when you come home today!"
On the other hand, Yu Lie himself was not overjoyed when he heard the celebrations of the seventh-grade ghosts and gods. He seemed to have other ideas.
However, in front of the ghosts and gods and everyone else, Yu Lie's face showed no abnormality. He also smiled and returned the greetings to the ghosts and gods, and thanked them for their congratulations.
The whole hall was filled with cheers and congratulations, which kept ringing and spread.
Because of the appearance of Yu Lie, the entire Yu family suddenly changed their attitude and became happier than ever before.
The issue of arrears of money and food was temporarily forgotten by everyone and was not taken to mind.
Even those members of the Huang family, after careful consideration, came forward and shamelessly congratulated Yu Lie.
