Chapter 76 Heaven's Punishment Two City Gods a Day!
Chapter 76 The punishment of heaven, two city gods in one day!
God above the table listens!
Is this heaven a god, a heaven, or a Taoist ancestor?
Lin Ye was not sure either.
In the scriptures left by the Taoists about the listening heaven above, there is no mention of which god the listening heaven is.
The way of heaven.
This is Lin Ye's understanding.
Maintain the rules of yin and yang in this world.
Yang people have their own rules, and Yin people have their own rules.
If the underworld violates the rules, it will also be bound by the laws of heaven.
"I, Ye Zhiyuan, are from Poyang. I have been studying since I was young. I have been gifted by God. I am extremely intelligent and famous for my literary talent. I have achieved ambition at a young age. I should not live up to the gift of God. I have obtained fame and become an official for the people. However, the city god of Poyang City covets me.
My talent is to learn…”
"As a city god, but you don't fulfill the responsibilities of a city god, you use the city god's public weapon to steal your own personal desires and steal what I have lost in order to gain fame. Isn't that a crime?"
"I died of illness because of it. My wife and my son had no way to make a living, so they both died."
…
"God can see it and has mercy on me."
"God can see, have mercy on my wife!"
"God can see, have mercy on my son!"
…
Poyang City!
There was a thunder at night, and many people were woken up by the thunder and saw lights flashing outside the paper windows.
"How can there be thunder in such a day? This is because God is angry. Who has done anything harmful to God?" An old man sighed as he looked at the thunder.
City God Temple!
The green tiles and red eaves were shattered under the thunder.
All the ghosts were trembling at the moment, kneeling on the spot and not daring to move.
Just a few breaths ago, a bolt of thunder fell, directly smashing the statue of the City God into pieces.
Li Chenghuang stood in front of his statue with a frightened expression and his face turned pale. This was a punishment from heaven.
The power of the incense that I spent practicing hard for two years dissipated in one fell swoop today.
However, the thunder above did not disperse.
When Li Chenghuang saw this, he bowed and said, "God's grace:"
"Since I succeeded to the position of City God, I have been fighting tremblingly, keeping upright and exorcising evil spirits, and dare not let up. In the two years of Jiazi, there are no evil spirits causing chaos in Poyang, and no ghosts are causing trouble. I cannot say that it is all my fault, but it is also the contribution of Weibo."
"Ye Zhiyuan was a man of extraordinary literary talent, but his life was in danger. He died on the way home after he was supposed to have obtained the honors. I acted like this with the intention of saving his life."
Boom!
The thunder in the sky became even louder. Yang Chenghuang trembled and knelt down.
"I... I do have selfish motives. The local wealthy businessman Qian once went to the temple to offer incense and make a wish. If his son gets the honors in the exam, he will come back to fulfill his vow, rebuild the Temple of the City God, and cast a golden statue of the City God. So I wanted to seize Ye Zhiyuan's life.
Literary talent can not only protect Ye Zhiyuan's life, but also gain the popularity of Qian's family."
At this moment, Li Chenghuang did not dare to hide anything. God cannot be deceived.
He had served as the City God for nearly two years, and his popularity was not very strong. According to this situation, it would take at least more than a hundred years for his merits to be perfected. However, the imperial court was corrupt at that time, and he had a premonition that the dynasty might be destroyed. Once the new
When the dynasty was established, the city god was granted the title of city god, but his position as city god may not be maintained.
In that context, he chose to cooperate with the Qian family's wealthy businessman, stole Ye Zhiyuan's articles, and allowed the Qian family's wealthy businessman's son to pass the exam. The Qian family's wealthy businessman also rebuilt the City God's Temple and recast it as he had promised.
The golden body of the City God.
After the new City God's Temple was built, people came to offer incense one after another. The incense was much stronger than before. Even if the dynasty changed, his position as City God was as stable as Mount Tai. Because the new dynasty wanted to appease the people, they did not dare to move his position.
But this operation is not without risks, and Ye Zhiyuan is the biggest risk.
For this reason, he specially entertained Ye Zhiyuan every day. He just wanted Ye Zhiyuan to give up the idea of obtaining fame and become a rich man, with his own protection, which would allow him to live forever, and when he had accumulated enough incense, his merits would be fulfilled.
Go, don't be afraid if this thing comes out again.
But I didn't expect that Ye Zhiyuan was so focused on scientific research that no amount of persuasion would work. I didn't expect that Ye Zhiyuan would be ridiculed by a businessman and die of illness. The last thing I didn't expect was that Ye Zhiyuan's wife would hang herself with her son.
A family of three, three lives, this is a huge sin.
If the souls of Ye Zhiyuan's family of three return to the underworld, then this matter will come to light. At that time, Ye Zhiyuan's family of three will file a complaint to the underworld judge, and he, the city god, will also have to be escorted back to the underworld for trial.
As for killing the souls of Ye Zhiyuan's family, as a city god, if he dared to do so, thunder from heaven would immediately fall.
In the end, he could only choose to find the precious soul-fixing beads and give them to Ye Zhiyuan's family of three. However, the soul-fixing beads were not omnipotent. In the memory of Ye Zhiyuan's wife and children, Ye Zhiyuan was dead, which could not be changed. For this reason, he designed
Let Ye Zhiyuan leave Poyang County.
For him, all he wants is to delay until the merits are fulfilled.
However, this time Ye Zhiyuan's return made his plan unexpected. He could only choose to control the ghosts of Ye Zhiyuan's family of three first and prevent the three of them from going to the underworld.
Unexpectedly, something went wrong after all.
Boom boom boom!
There was lightning and thunder in the sky, and Yang Chenghuang felt a bit of luck in his heart. He had made some contributions over the years, and God's punishment should not befall him again.
However, just when Li Chenghuang felt that the thunder had become smaller, he breathed a sigh of relief.
boom!
A bolt of thunder fell, and the entire City God's Temple shone with a dazzling luster.
However, Li Chenghuang forgot one truth: if you know the law and break the law, you will be punished with an additional penalty.
…
…
At the Chenghuang Temple in Shangyang County, Yang Chenghuang looked far away in the direction of Poyang County, looking at the thunder in the sky with a look of satisfaction on his face.
There are only two city gods in the entire county, one is him and the other is Yang Chenghuang of Poyang County.
The new dynasty had only been established for a few years, and it had not yet reached the point of enfeoffing city gods to the whole world. This was because enfeoffing city gods would consume the fortune of the country, especially the granting of new city gods.
In order to save the national fortune, the best way is to enshrine the old city god.
He wants to compete for the position of the city god of the county, and the man from Poyang City is his biggest competitor.
Ye Zhiyuan's strange situation was known to him before he became the City God, when it was just a sinister incident. At that time, he secretly pushed Ye Zhiyuan to go to Qingfeng Temple, hoping to use the hands of the Qingfeng Temple veteran to give Poyang City the City God.
He pulled the horse off, but it turned out that the old man was too cunning.
The incense money was accepted by all comers, but he just pretended not to notice and didn't interfere in this matter at all.
The good thing is, after all, there are still many nosy people.
Once the incident involving Li Chenghuang of Poyang County came out, the county's Chenghuang must be him.
Just as Yang Chenghuang was immersed in the imagination of becoming the city god of a county, a bolt of thunder suddenly streaked across the sky like a silver snake from the sky above Poyang County, and it actually crossed from the sky of Poyang to Shangyang County.
When Yang Chenghuang saw this thunder, his pupils shrank instantly and he was about to step back.
But the thunder fell directly.
boom!
Yang Chenghuang collapsed to the ground, his expression becoming depressed.
He couldn't figure out why the punishment from heaven would include him.
This heavenly punishment caused him to fall directly from the position of City God, and turned into an ordinary bad guy again. Moreover, he would no longer be able to achieve the position of City God within a hundred years.
