As the saying goes: "If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later."
Xu Zhengyang didn't know that he was struck by lightning. Not only did he not die, but he got the so-called position of the Earth God and the power of half an Earth God. It was considered a blessing. But he didn't see the blessing, and the bad luck came quite a bit.
Come on, after he returned home from the Tutu Temple that day, he had a high fever for two days. Infusions and injections cost eighty or ninety yuan, which made Xu Zhengyang extremely distressed.
He didn't dare to tell anyone about what happened to the Tutu Temple. Firstly, he was afraid that his family would be worried. Secondly, if it was spread, it would make people laugh, and no one would believe these things.
So he kept the matter in his stomach. After recovering from the illness, he rested for three days and carefully checked his body and found that there was no problem, so he felt relieved.
It doesn't matter whether you have supernatural powers or not, and it doesn't matter whether you are a god or not, as long as there is nothing wrong with your body or bones.
Within a few days, he put this incident behind him and stopped thinking about it. After all, he was an ordinary person from a poor family. What he usually had to worry about was how to change millet every day and how to make more rice.
Earning three to five yuan is a serious matter. As for the land god's priesthood and power... he can't make money for food.
Until half a month later...
When he was buying millet in Wangjiacun this morning, Xu Zhengyang took on a big deal. Someone asked him to deliver 200 kilograms of millet to Fuhe City. To prevent him from traveling such a long distance in vain, he was charged an additional ten cent for every kilogram of millet.
This made Xu Zhengyang very happy. After agreeing on the price and asking for the specific address, he rushed home immediately. In the afternoon, he ground the millet into millet and packed it in bags. Xu Zhengyang was too angry to take a break, so he got on his bicycle and carried the millet.
I rushed to Fuhe City excitedly.
Fuhe City is more than 80 miles away from Shuanghe Village. It was already around 4:30 in the afternoon when we arrived, and we were still carrying 200 kilograms of millet. When we got to the city, we had to search all the way to find a place. So we waited until the millet was unloaded.
When Qian rushed back, it was already dark.
Fortunately, the cart was empty when he came back, and after making fifty yuan, Xu Zhengyang was in a good mood and full of energy. He pedaled the empty cart like a whirlwind and rushed towards the village. He made up his mind to buy two when he went back.
Treat yourself to a bottle of cold beer...
It was a clear night, and the Milky Way across the sky held up the dense stars and the high-hanging crescent moon.
The breeze blew slowly, and the frogs croaked in the rice fields on both sides of the road. Even the cicadas neighing on the treetops seemed to be no longer as noisy and noisy as they were during the day. They seemed to be playing in rhythm with the frogs' croaking.
A symphony of summer nights.
When he was approaching the village, Xu Zhengyang's riding speed had slowed down a lot. After all, he was exhausted from the one hundred sixty-seven mile round trip, and he saw the faint lights of the village in the distance.
His spirit also completely relaxed.
Riding his bicycle lazily, Xu Zhengyang hummed a song while holding a cigarette in his mouth:
The fairy mountains are separated by the sea of clouds, and the Xialing Mountains are connected by jade belts.
It is said that there are immortals in the world;
The gods are not envious, the people of the world work hard,
Why is there a happy garden?
If you are determined and can push yourself hard, you don’t have to complain;
Struggle leaves behind sweat and blood, gains and losses, smile proudly...
…
Xu Zhengyang is very satisfied with his current living situation. He is confident that with his hard work, he will be able to help his family get rid of poverty and become rich and live a happy life. Of course, he also has a very practical goal, which is to save money.
Go to Fuhe City to open a grocery store.
As for whether he will be rich and powerful in the future, that has to be discussed separately. Although he yearns for it, Xu Zhengyang knows that it is unrealistic.
When passing by the Earth Temple, Xu Zhengyang thought of the scene he experienced half a month ago, smiled and said to himself: "Gods and immortals may not live so well without seeing each other, otherwise the Earth God will not commit suicide."
Okay...it's really like what is sung in the song, 'The Jade Tower and the Immortal Palace are filled with gold and jade, the worldly world is no worse than the fairyland, no less'. So, I'd better live my life in a down-to-earth manner..."
Reciting these words, Xu Zhengyang had already passed by the Earth Temple. Unexpectedly, an anxious voice suddenly came from behind: "Hey, Earth God, Earth God..."
At this time, there was no one on the road outside the village. In addition, it was night again. Xu Zhengyang shivered when he suddenly heard someone talking. The car swayed and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Xu Zhengyang was pretty good at it.
He was strong and quick, and he was already an experienced rider on a bicycle, so he put his feet on the ground and used both hands to stop the bicycle steadily in the middle of the road.
An unknown fire surged in Xu Zhengyang's heart. Damn it, grandma, you are scaring people in the middle of the night! He stared back with a cigarette in his mouth, only to see a figure hurriedly running out of the Earth Temple under the bright moonlight, waving his arms.
Greeting: "Lord God, please wait."
"Call me?" Xu Zhengyang looked familiar to the figure, but now there was no one around. Thinking of his identity as a half-earth god, he suddenly became confused. Who is this person? How did he know that I was an earth god? Xu Zhengyang looked carefully.
As I go, the people coming are getting closer and closer to me.
Before he could see his face clearly, Xu Zhengyang's eyes widened in shock and he took a breath, "Oh my God, what a ghost!"
Because the figure running towards Xu Zhengyang did not touch the ground, and his figure was erratic.
Just when Xu Zhengyang came to his senses and was about to turn around and run away immediately, he saw the figure stopped three or four meters away from him, and then knelt down without any hesitation, kowtowing as if pounding garlic.
, he kept praying: "God of the land, you are always kind and help me..."
"This..." Xu Zhengyang recovered from the shock and thought that this ghost was actually afraid of him. That's right. After all, he was also a god. How could he not be afraid of ghosts? However, why did this ghost look so familiar?
And the voice sounds familiar... But I don't know if it's because of the poor lighting at night or because things like ghosts are inherently blurry, but I can't see what they look like.
Xu Zhengyang tilted his head and held a cigarette in his mouth and asked: "Hey, who are you?"
"God of the Earth, this villain is Zhao Laoguang from Shuanghe Village." When the ghost replied, he didn't stop kowtowing and apologized: "When I was alive, I didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and I once came to the Earth Temple to defecate.
I urinated and blasphemed the gods. Please forgive me for my sin...".
"Uncle Lao Guang?" Xu Zhengyang quickly got off his bicycle and was no longer afraid. He hurried towards the ghost and said, "Why are you back?"
Zhao Laoguang is a man in his forties and is considered a famous person in Shuanghe Village.
Everyone in the village knows that Zhao Laoguang made a lot of money as a contractor outside a few years ago. Later, for some unknown reason, he met a woman from the south, bought a house in the provincial capital and started a family. I heard that
The woman also gave birth to a child for him. Fortunately, Zhao Laoguang still had some conscience and did not abandon his wife and daughter at home. He often returned to his home in the village to stay for a while and left some money.
His family lived on the same street as Xu Zhengyang's family, and the two families were familiar with each other. So when Xu Zhengyang heard that it was Zhao Laoguang, he quickly stepped forward to help him up. He couldn't bear the kowtow of his elders.
Unexpectedly, he took a step forward, but Zhao Laoguang's body quickly retreated, always keeping a distance of three or four meters from Xu Zhengyang, and when he retreated, he did not stand up at all, just kowtowing at the same time.
The child floated back and muttered: "God of the Land, Zhao Laoguang can't bear to be called you like that..."
"Uncle Lao Guang, I am Zhengyang!" Xu Zhengyang was ashamed and hurriedly revealed his identity.
"Zhengyang?" Zhao Laoguang finally stopped kowtowing, raised his head and looked at Xu Zhengyang doubtfully, "God of the Land, you, are you Xu Zhengyang?"
"Ah, yes, Uncle Guang, you don't recognize me?"
Xu Zhengyang was confused, and then he remembered that Zhao Laoguang was a ghost now, maybe... humans and ghosts are different, ghosts can't see the appearance of people, and people can't see the appearance of ghosts clearly?
At this time, Xu Zhengyang had no idea what kind of image he looked like in Zhao Laoguang's eyes. The golden light was shining all over his body, and the ghost couldn't even see his whole appearance. Instead, he was wearing a wild goose on his head.
The winged hat has three words clearly written on it - God of the Earth.
"God of the Earth, no matter you are Xu Zhengyang or whoever you are, please forgive me for my sins and do me a favor..." Zhao Laoguang began to kowtow again.
"Come on, stop kowtowing and say, what's the matter?" Xu Zhengyang was now sure that Zhao Laoguang couldn't see him clearly, so he simply stopped worrying about it.
After hearing this, Zhao Laoguang stopped kowtowing and knelt on the ground, choking and sobbing: "Two days ago, I drove from the provincial capital to Hexi Province. The brakes failed on the way, and I plunged into the reservoir. I drowned. I am still alive today."
No one knows... After I became a ghost, I realized that I could only stay in this world for seven days, so I went back to the provincial capital first, thinking about finding my little wife to get my body back, but humans and ghosts can't communicate, and I found that my little wife
They were fooling around behind my back, so I hurried back to find my wife and children in the village... But I could see them, but they couldn't see me. How could I tell them the news? And I also wanted to tell them.
They, under the Western Wall, I buried a bankbook with more than one million yuan in it, which was left for them."
"Well...how do you want me to help you?" Xu Zhengyang asked.
"You, please help me tell them the news of my death, and ask them to bring the corpse back. I have to bury it in my ancestral grave. Moreover, I must let them know about the passbook.
Otherwise, they would never know in this life!" Zhao Laoguang said while kowtowing, but he couldn't make a sound.
"Oh, okay, I'll talk to them when I get back soon." Xu Zhengyang nodded and agreed without any hesitation. It's a trivial matter, just a little effort.
"Thank you, thank you. You, Lord Earth God, have a lot of merits and deeds..."
Listening to Zhao Laoguang kowtow and say some words of praise, Xu Zhengyang felt inexplicably comfortable in his heart, and his blood seemed to be happy. Xu Zhengyang thought he was a little complacent after inheriting this high hat.
, so he nodded and said, "Is there anything else?"
"No more, no more." Zhao Laoguang said quickly.
"Oh, then go with peace of mind, don't miss this worldly world, enter the reincarnation of the underworld as soon as possible, atone for your sins, and be reincarnated as a human being as soon as possible..." Xu Zhengyang was very proud and began to display the earth god's spectrum, receptors
Affected by the feeling of comfort inside, I thought about the feeling of being a god... quite nice.
"Yes, thank you to the God of Earth for your great kindness. I will never forget it. In my next life, I will burn incense and kowtow every day..."
After praising and flattering him for a while, Zhao Laoguang's ghost got up and wandered away into the distance, and soon disappeared into the dark night.
Xu Zhengyang felt proud for a while, then rode his bicycle to the village. He wanted to help Zhao Laoguang and tell his family... Ouch! No way! Xu Zhengyang suddenly thought of how he should go with Zhao Laoguang while riding his bicycle.
Did Zhao Laoguang's family talk about this? Is it possible to just say: Hello, aunt, I am the God of the Earth. Uncle Laoguang is dead. His ghost came to me and asked me to tell you and go and collect his body as soon as possible?
That would definitely be beaten out by Zhao Laoguang's family members with sticks and kitchen knives.
Xu Zhengyang regretted that he agreed to this matter without thinking clearly.

Well, let me say a few words! The new book has just started to be uploaded, and the update will be slowed down temporarily, one chapter per day.
After all, there is no recommended position for the time being, and the time is not suitable. In addition, my archives are too few. I can’t bear to explode when I recommend it. So everyone will take it slowly and wait until the number of words is increased. Then I will have a good time.
through.
After the new book issue, I estimate that with my typing speed, all the saved manuscripts will definitely be exhausted, and I will fall into a period of no saved manuscripts again, but you can rest assured that my character is as careful as when I wrote "Destiny"
My friends should be able to tell that I haven’t updated it constantly. But I can’t guarantee it 100%. Anyway, I’ll try my best...
Also, the story of "Priesthood" is very enjoyable, not sad or depressing, eh?
Of course, you still have to shamelessly ask for recommendation votes. In fact, it doesn’t matter if you have collections and recommendation votes now. When the text exceeds 60,000 words, ah, you will need strong collections and recommendation votes to support your ranking.
