When the genius first dawned, there were already merchants from outside the city carrying burdens and pushing carts into the city. Changjing is really prosperous, and this street is full of small stalls every morning. Most of the merchants have their own fixed
For example, at the door of Songyou, there is a woman selling eggs, an old man selling vegetables and a short man selling tofu.
Changjing has given them many ways to make a living, and it has also given countless conveniences to the people in the city. However, it is not yet dawn, but I don't know how far these people have walked on the mountain road.
Voices began to be heard from below.
It was the vegetable farmers and vegetable vendors who were discussing in low voices, discussing how much the vegetables should cost, and the minimum should not be too low.
Sometimes I complain and sigh.
Sometimes we chat and laugh.
Joy, anger, sorrow, and joy all floated in from the window.
Song You turned around and suddenly saw three figures walking from the left side of the street.
A short old man, wearing an official uniform, was surrounded by two auxiliary officers, one civil and one military. They were dressed in noble or mighty clothes, but the traders and footmen around him seemed to be unable to see them.
Before he could reach downstairs, the military attaché spotted Song You at the window. He said something to the old man and pointed at him. The old man stopped and held his hand towards Song You from a distance.
Song You didn't say anything, he just returned the greeting and waved to them to come up.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the attic again.
"The little god has seen the immortal master."
"I am just a mortal, and cannot be called an immortal master. The Lord City God is from this dynasty, so just follow the custom of this dynasty and just call him sir."
"Then I've seen you, sir."
"Congratulations, Lord City God."
"The little god just killed one of the troubled monsters, and it was all thanks to the talisman given by the master, but he doesn't deserve this congratulations." Lord Cheng Huang repeatedly handed over his hands, "The little god came here just to report that the master has been there for a long time.
The monster was killed on the spot by a subordinate military attaché using the thunder talisman given to me by my husband, but I didn’t expect that my husband knew the matter like a god and already knew it.”
The city god said and paused:
"Although it was indeed the wolf demon who killed the imperial officials a few days ago, and has been killed now, from what the little god has seen, there may be associates of the wolf demon lurking in the city, hiding very deep, but the little god is determined
I patrolled day and night with several of my subordinate priests to find out the traces of the evildoer as soon as possible..."
Song You nodded.
This city god came not only to tell him about the battle last night, but also to tell him why he still had a fire talisman left but not using it. He was afraid that he would misunderstand that he had left it and used it elsewhere.
"But I am confused. Since the wolf demon's accomplices are hidden very deep, how did Lord City God know that there are still his accomplices in the city?"
"Mr. Hui..."
The Lord City God looked ashamed: "Although the Little God is incompetent, he is the City God of Changjing after all. He still secretly pays attention to the movements of Changjing. This is the responsibility of the Little God, but it is also convenient to do."
"It seems that Lord Cheng Huang also has a heart to do practical things for the people."
It's not necessarily that the City God has a heart to do practical things for the people, it may be that he is just unwilling to bow down and be a god, or he may have realized that if he continues like this, it will be a matter of time before he is deposed, or there may be something else.
No matter what, you still have to choose something nice to say.
Song You paused for a moment and then said: "The person who congratulated the City God just now was not the City God who succeeded in slaying the demon last night."
"I don't know..."
"Since the beginning of the month, I have often heard people talking about Lord City God. I guess the incense has been much more prosperous in recent days than before, right?"
"this……"
This is true.
On the one hand, the military attache of the City God's Temple was seen exorcising demons at night, and the news spread. On the other hand, he entrusted a dream to the Minister of Rites, asking him to evacuate the people from the mountain. Although this matter did not spread, people under the City God's Temple forcibly bought it.
The people who forcibly sold incense and candles all disappeared overnight, and there was some speculation among the people. More importantly, everyone bought the incense and offered it to the city god with more sincerity than before.
With more people offering incense and sincerity, the power of incense and wishes they can receive is naturally far greater than before.
The Lord City God had no choice but to hand him over again and again;
“It’s all thanks to Mr.
Even the two military attachés behind him, one civil and one military, surrendered.
"I don't dare to take it." Song You waved his hand and refused, "After today, the news of killing the wolf demon will definitely be more beneficial to the prestige of Lord City God. Since he is a god, he still needs to have prestige."
"Little God dare not..."
"Originally, I thought Lord City God was weak. If Changjing wants peace, it should be replaced by another City God. However, I can't find a suitable person for a while. This is not something I, a Taoist, can decide. Now it seems that Lord City God is not
Such incompetence. It's just that Lord Cheng Huang was not well-known during his lifetime and didn't know how to be a god." Song You turned to look at him, "I just wonder if Lord Cheng Huang found another way to be a god from this incident?"
"Little God..."
"Um?"
"The little god is not born stupid, he is actually weak-minded..."
"No matter what happened in the past, now that I have come to Changjing and will stay here for a year, I am willing to help Lord City God. I only hope that Changjing will have a dedicated city defender." Song You still turned to this person.
The City God looked at each other, "I wonder what the City God wants?"
"..."
Should he continue to hunker down and be a god, lingering in order not to die again after death, or should he be as majestic as other city gods and receive incense from thousands of people?
If you are a human, it may be a little difficult to choose.
But if it is God, it is not difficult to choose.
The existence of gods depends on the incense of believers. The righteous gods are restrained and cannot do evil, so they have the nature to pursue good. In fact, lingering like this is not a long-term solution. It is only a matter of time before they are deposed.
The Changjing City God only thought for a moment, then bowed deeply and saluted:
"Please give me some advice, sir."
"It's not like giving advice. It's just that Changjing is in chaos, and there are many demons and demons wandering around. If you just covet the prosperity of the world and have never caused chaos, you don't need to kill them all, but those who have done chaos cannot be tolerated. These things are still between the Lord City God and all the civil and military officials.
It's easy for me to do, but I can't do it. Even if I do it forcefully, I can only control it for a while but not for a while. But I can help Lord City God to find some peace for the people of Changjing." Song You paused and said, "Lord City God is already here.
If you have a heart that is good for God and want to last forever, then don’t do nothing anymore. Don’t occupy more incense, and give more to the civil and military personnel under your command, especially the military officers. They are the foundation for the City God to stand here.”
"Please follow your instructions!"
"From now on until next year, the City God can do whatever he wants to exorcise evil spirits and subjugate demons. If you meet someone with profound knowledge, they will come to me to ask for amulets. I don't think anyone will kill the City God just because he has done good things to protect the city and protect people's livelihood.
Deposed." Song You paused for a moment, "I will leave Changjing next year, and it will take more than half a year. I hope Lord Chenghuang can accumulate enough prestige to last forever."
"Thank you sir!"
"The city god must know that the god puts people first and seeks benefits for the people, so that he can straighten his back and become immortal for thousands of years." Song You said, "The true golden body is what is forged by the hearts of the people."
"yes……"
"Where is the wolf demon?"
"Behind the City God's Temple, we are planning to hand it over to the county government." Lord Cheng Huang thought for a moment and gritted his teeth, "Now that I think about it, it would be better to place it at the entrance of the City God's Temple."
"Your Excellency is wise!"
"Little God, please excuse me..."
The city god and the two auxiliary officials resigned.
Unlike before, this time even the two auxiliary officers' attitudes became much more respectful.
"Walk slowly."
Song You narrowed his eyes when he saw them leaving.
I don’t know if this city god can do it.
It's just that it's easy to depose a minor god, but it's not that simple to depose the Changjing City God. I'm afraid it takes an emperor to do it easily. Even if he is deposed, it needs to be replaced. The next candidate is also a problem, and it will take time for the incense to regroup. See
Although this city god is weak, he is not completely useless. It is better to let him try.
Just look at one year from now.
Calculate the time, cook breakfast, and go out to pick up the mainstay of the family from get off work.
In fact, in the past few days, Sanhua Empress has already found a way and can go back and forth by herself. However, she still asks Song You to send her there every afternoon and pick her up in the morning. She said she can't count when she picks her up in the morning.
She was worried that those people would count randomly and give her too little. As for why she wanted to give it away at night, she didn't say.
At this time, the outside was already bustling with people.
…
In the afternoon.
The heroine next door will come back early today.
Knocked on Song You's door, stepped in, looked around, and then sat down naturally:
"Have you heard? Last night, around midnight, around the fourth or fifth watch, there was a thunder at the east city gate. It was really a thunderbolt in the clear sky. Some people thought it was thundering and raining, so when they opened the window, they saw the sky full of stars and a few stars.
Golden-armored priest, there is a monster lying on the ground, isn't it magical?"
"heard."
"Um?"
Wu Nuxia was stunned for a moment, with a sense of surprise that she had failed to show off: "Why are you so well-informed? Do you have some way of knowing the world's affairs without leaving home?"
"If I had that kind of Taoism, I wouldn't go down the mountain."
"Too……"
Wu Nuxia waved her hand, not entangled: "I don't know if the monsters have been caught. If they are, the palace may have to lift the curfew, and you can take a good look at the prosperity of Changjing... I don't know.
What's the use of this curfew? Although the monster eats people, it doesn't eat ordinary people. It's really annoying."
There was slight movement on the stairs.
A cat came down and when he saw it was her, he stopped at the top of the stairs, yawned, and then lay down on the spot.
"Look how tired your cat is!"
"Thank you for your hard work." Song You said with a smile, "How is your search for the heroine's information going?"
"I asked people to read a few lists today and inquired about the news, but it is similar to what I thought before. The folk gentlemen and Jianghu people will solve part of the hauntings in and outside Changjing City, and the monks of Tianhai Temple will also solve it.
Some of them will be solved, and the remaining jobs that no one will take are either too difficult or too troublesome and the money is low." Wu Nuxia said, "I don't know much about this, but I also picked two or three that I
Whatever you think is good, let’s choose one depending on your opinion.”
"Come next to each other."
"What?"
"Come next to each other."
"Hey!" Wu Nuxia laughed, "You are neither afraid of death nor trouble!"
"That's ridiculous. I'm most afraid of trouble in my life." Song You said calmly, "But there's nothing wrong with it. It's a matter of eliminating harm for the people, and there's a heroine to help, so there's no harm in giving it a try."
"Then why don't you go and deal with the monster in the city?"
"There is a city god inside the city, but not outside the city."
"You still have a reason..."
"Please tell me, Heroine!"
"Then let me talk about the most troublesome one first!"
