After wandering around noon, Tang Yin and Ren Xiao returned to the City Lord's Mansion. ****When they came back, they saw a group of people gathered in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, bustling with people, and they didn't know what they were saying to the guards at the door.
.
Tang Yin frowned, turned around and said, "Ah San and Ah Si, go find out what's going on and what they want to do." After saying that, he shook his head to Ren Xiao, turned around and walked towards the back door of the City Lord's Mansion.
Entering the city lord's palace through the back door, and just after changing clothes, Asan and Asi walked in from the outside. When they came to Tang Yin, they said: "The people are here to petition. I hope that the king can go to the nearby Eyu Mountain to pay homage to the mountain."
The mountain temple. People said that Fenshui City has not been peaceful recently, and ghosts often appear and hurt people's lives. If the king can go to the mountain temple to worship, Fenshui City will be able to receive the blessings of the local mountain god, and everyone will be able to feel at ease in the future.
Already."
"Oh!" Tang Yin nodded calmly and asked casually: "Who is the leader among the people who are petitioning?"
"It's a businessman named Wu Qian. His subordinates have brought him into the city lord's palace. Does the king want to see him?" Asan asked.
Tang Yin thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, let's meet him!" He originally thought not to meet him, but then he thought about it, Feng Ren is not good at governing the country, and if he doesn't pay attention to the local people, the local officials who will serve in the future will
I'm afraid I won't take it seriously and will make the same mistake again.
Wu Qian is a big businessman in Fenshui City. He has a huge fortune. His family's house is one of the best in the city. It's funny to say that when Tang Yin dressed up as a ghost in Fenshui City, the last big house he went to was the Wu Mansion.
However, Tang Yin's body could no longer bear any more spiritual energy at that time. After entering the Wu Mansion, he only killed a few servants and ran out. It was precisely because of this that Wu Qian and his family members escaped.
Wu Qian was in his forties. He had a gentle appearance, white face and black beard, and was gentle and elegant. He was not as fat as other businessmen.
He was led into Tang Yin's study by Ah Si. He knelt down and kowtowed respectfully and said, "Wu Qian, the villain, comes to see your Majesty!"
Tang Yin looked him up and down, then waved his hand with a smile and said, "Mr. Wu, please get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wu Qian stood up, raised his head to look, and couldn't help but be startled.
The Wind King was much younger than he thought. He looked like he was about twenty years old. He was handsome and had a faint smile on his face. He gave people a very gentle and peaceful feeling.
"I heard that Mr. Wu came here to petition on behalf of the people in the city, asking me to go to Eyu Mountain to worship at the mountain temple there?" Tang Yin asked softly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Although Tang Yin was young and had a kind attitude, Wu Qian did not dare to underestimate him. It can be said that Feng Guo's achievements today are entirely due to Tang Yin. He said sternly: "I believe your Majesty will also listen.
Having said this, ghosts have been rampant in Fenshui City recently, and thousands of people have been injured. Although most of the dead are Anjun, some of them are people in the city. Now the whole city is in panic. I hope your Majesty.
Be considerate of people’s sentiments and calm their hearts.”
Where did the ghost come from? It was all caused by him, but you can't say that. Tang Yin secretly laughed in his heart, but still put on a serious look on his face. He thought seriously for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, for the sake of the peace of Fenshui City.
, and in order to ensure that the people in the city have enough food and clothing, I can personally go to Eyu Mountain!"
Wu Qian was overjoyed when he heard this, and unconsciously showed his excitement. He hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty treats the people of Fenshui City so kindly. It is really a blessing for us! This little man kowtows to your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of the people of the city.
!”
Tang Yin smiled and bowed, saying: "Mr. Wu, there is no need to be polite, please get up quickly."
When he came, Wu Qian was really afraid that King Feng would scold him and drive him out of the city lord's palace after hearing what he said. He didn't expect that King Feng would be such a sensible person and considerate of the people. He hardly spent any words.
The king agreed, and the progress went smoothly beyond imagination.
After Wu Qian left, Ren Xiao, Yin Lan, Cheng Jin and others walked in one after another. Cheng Jin asked: "Does the king really want to go to Eyu Mountain to worship in person?"
"Since it is what the people want, I don't mind taking such a trip." Tang Yin asked: "Is Eyu Mountain very big?"
"It's not big. It's just an ordinary mountain. It's quite famous in Fenshui City. The mountain temple there is very popular and I heard it's very efficacious." Cheng Jin introduced.
"That's it." Tang Yin nodded and said with a smile: "Just go for a sightseeing tour." He has never believed in gods and ghosts. Even if he went to worship, it was not out of sincerity.
, it’s just a pretense to conform to public opinion.
Early the next morning, Tang Yin left Fenshui City and went to the nearby Eyu Mountain. The honor guard he brought with him was not many, only about a thousand people. He was accompanied by Asan and Asi, Cheng Jin, Yin Lan, Ren Xiao, Liu Zhang and others.
The cavalry leads the way in front, and the guard battalion holds down the formation behind.
The people of Fenshui City had long heard that King Feng was going to pay homage to the mountain temple. They left their homes early and waited on the roadside. After Tang Yin's guard of honor passed by, the people spontaneously followed at a distance.
Tang Yin, who was sitting in the car's crown, made a point of looking back. The people behind the ceremonial guard could be described as a huge crowd.
With so many people following him, Hidden Arrow and the guard camp did not dare to be careless and were on full alert. They also sent spies from time to time to mingle among the people, for fear of something unexpected happening.
Along the way, the weather was calm and there were no accidents. Soon, the guard of honor entered Eyu Mountain. As Cheng Jin said, this mountain is not big or high, but it is full of life and full of trees.
Following the mountain road to the top of the mountain, Tang Yin saw the mountain temple. This large temple covered an area of two or three acres. For the not-so-large Eyu Mountain, such a large temple was already very large.
Amazing.
There is also a small village on the east side of the temple. It is the villagers in the village who are responsible for taking care of the mountain temple on weekdays, collectively called "servants".
When the guard of honor stopped at the entrance of the mountain temple and Tang Yin got off the chariot, the village chief and a group of attendants quickly came out to greet him. They all bowed their hands to Tang Yin and saluted, saying: "I see you, your Majesty.
Your Majesty has come a long way and it has been a hard journey. Please come in quickly."
Yin Lan whispered from the side: "This man's name is Uncle Chu, and he is the head of Eyu Village."
Tang Yin nodded quietly. When he came, he had a preliminary understanding of the situation here in the mountain temple. He put his hands behind his back, stepped forward, and said: "The village chief is the great servant here, so there is no need to be polite."
Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a woman in black.
This woman is very beautiful, with fair skin and black hair. The strange thing is that she has no hair tied up. Her hair is naturally scattered and flying in the wind, like a fairy. Standing among a group of male attendants, she is particularly eye-catching.
The reason why Tang Yin noticed her was not because of her appearance, but because the aura in her body was extremely bright. Although most of the attendants present were spiritual cultivators, she was the one with the brightest aura. Obviously, hers
His cultivation is the most advanced among all the people.
The woman in black seemed to be aware that Tang Yin was watching her. She raised her head and met Tang Yin's scrutinizing gaze without fear.
When he looked at the other person, few people dared to look at him. This woman was quite courageous! Tang Yin secretly praised him, and then asked: "I wonder if this girl is..."
"The little girl is the witch of this village." She answered the question without the village chief introducing her. It was obvious that the village chief respected her very much. When she spoke, the village chief also bowed slightly.
Witch? Tang Yin didn't know what the witch did and looked back at Cheng Jin and others in confusion. Seeing this, Yin Lan took two steps forward and explained in a low voice: "It is said that witches are people who can communicate indirectly with mountain gods.
."
Oh! Tang Yin smiled, then quietly nodded to the woman in black, and walked into the mountain temple without saying another word.
As he walked inside, Tang Yin said to the village chief on the side: "The worship rituals are different in different places. It is my first time to come here. I would like to ask the village chief for advice on how to worship."
"Oh, your Majesty is too polite to kill this villain!" The village chief was flattered and bowed repeatedly.
"To worship the mountain god, etiquette is not important. What is important is sincerity." The woman in black said expressionlessly.
Huh? Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, looked directly at the woman in black, and asked with a smile: "It sounds like the witch thinks that this king is not sincere?"
"I'm afraid only the king himself knows the truth about sincerity and dishonesty," the witch said indifferently.
Hearing this, Ah San, Ah Si and others' faces sank, and they shouted: "Bold!"
The village chief trembled and hurriedly raised his hands to Tang Yin and said: "Your Majesty, the witch is young and not familiar with the world. I have offended you. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
Not to mention she was a witch, even if she wasn't, Tang Yin would not make any more calculations with a woman. He shook his head, said nothing more, and walked into the main hall of the mountain temple.
As soon as he entered, Tang Yin was startled by the giant statue in the main hall. This mountain god statue could really be described as standing tall against the sky and the ground. It was seven or eight meters high, and the top of its head was almost touching the beams of the main hall.
If you look closely, you will see that the mountain god is holding a giant axe, grinning angrily, and showing his fangs. He looks ferocious, but he is also made lifelike.
What a mighty and majestic mountain god statue! Regardless of whether Tang Yin was sincere or not, he felt a sense of awe at this moment.
The village chief said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please follow this villain to offer incense!"
"Village chief please!"
He waved his hand to the village chief, and then the village chief walked to the incense table in front of the giant statue, pulled out three sticks of incense from it and handed it to Tang Yin. Then he picked up three sticks himself, lit them, took three steps back, and said respectfully
Kneel down, hold the incense in both hands, put it in front of your forehead, mutter something in your mouth, and kowtow three times in a row. Then you stand up, walk to the incense table, and put the incense in your hand into the incense burner.
Tang Yin followed the village chief's example, but instead of kneeling down, he bowed three times holding the incense, and then put the incense in his hand into the incense burner.
He had just put the incense in place, and before he had time to release his fingers, something suddenly moved in his heart. He felt something was wrong. There was murderous intent in the hall!
