Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 77 Complaint and Guard

As soon as the land found out that someone wanted to harm Shi Zhongkui, he immediately reported it to Shi Zhongkui who was hiding near the Shi family's ancestral tomb.

That is to say, even if someone finds the ancestral tomb of the Shi family, he cannot be found without a guide.

Shi Zhongkui didn't intend to easily let go of those who wanted to deal with him this time.

Based on the emperor's old man's attitude towards him, no one can guarantee the top three.

But the second-class Jinshi is definitely no problem.

Since there is no need to worry about the future, Shi Zhongkui does not intend to let go of those who want to kill him.

That night, an incense table was set up in the thatched cottage, and the green smoke from the lit three-foot sandalwood rose straight to the sky.

Shi Zhongkui was dressed in a plain brocade robe with moiré patterns, a big hat on his head, and a blue sash around his waist. He bowed to the City God of Shuntian Mansion and said, "Student Daxing Shi Boqian, today I sincerely invite Lord City God of Shuntian Mansion to be the master for the students."

As Shi Zhongkui's words fell, the sandalwood and green smoke swayed for a while, and the magical power of Tongyou activated.

He saw a middle-aged man in a cap, a red robe, and a golden cloak appearing in front of him.

Although the art of exorcising gods is powerful, it is not so easy to arrest and dispatch the city god, the land of the mountains, all kinds of spirits and ghosts, and yellow scarf warriors at will.

So Shi Zhongkui could only invite the City God of Shuntian Mansion.

But the city god looked down and saw the brilliant meritorious power emerging from Shi Zhongkui's body, he hurriedly descended from the air, and saluted, "I have met a great benevolent man."

At first, the City God only took care of the affairs of the city, but the more people worshiped, the more incense and the stronger his ability.

From the beginning, the duty was only to protect the moat and the city, and gradually increased the day and night wandering gods and a large number of soldiers as subordinates, and the jurisdiction also expanded to one county and one state.

Moreover, the town gods in the world are different from city to county. In addition, in order to determine their own ruling status, the rulers of all dynasties will clarify the status of city gods in various places.

The Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty simply divided the ranks into four levels.

From the first rank to the fourth rank officials, they are managed and differentiated.

As Gyeonggi, Shuntian Prefecture, the city god is of course a first-class one.

But as the god of the underworld, the City God has no right to interfere in the affairs of the world, and can only manage the affairs of the underworld in one place.

When ghosts and ghosts are in front of him, it is like a mouse meeting a cat.

Catch monsters if necessary.

Although he had been reported by Daxing Land before, the City God basically would not leave the capital if nothing happened, let alone go to see Shi Zhongkui at will.

So this was the first time City God saw him.

The purpose of Shi Zhongkui inviting the City God to come is to complain. Seeing the City God bowing to him, he hurriedly turned sideways and said, "Your Excellency is polite, the student just did something good by chance, how dare you accept the Lord's salute."

The City God thought to himself, what a certain person worships is a kind deed, a meritorious deed, otherwise you are qualified to receive a certain gift as a human being.

But when he looked carefully, he suddenly discovered that Shi Zhongkui's mausoleum had a spirit of immortality.

Instantly understood that this person is really just like what the land said, he is probably a person who descended from the heavens, reincarnated to experience or respond to disaster.

Knowing that he has background and backing, Chenghuang's attitude became warm again.

"The good man is serious. Although the little god is the master of the underworld, what he seeks is nothing more than the peace of the country and the people.

A small act of a good person has reduced the number of people around Gyeonggi who starved to death. It is not an exaggeration to say that the merit is immeasurable.

Not to mention receiving a gift from the little god, when the good person's merits and virtues are complete a hundred years later, the little god might be transferred to another place by the underworld to make room for the good person. "

Shi Zhongkui couldn't help slandering a few words in his heart, even if he wanted to work in the underworld, he would not choose a position like the City God, which is not big or small.

Moreover, managing the underworld in the human world is troublesome just thinking about it.

It's okay to encounter a prosperous age, there are not many things to do, and there is also a lot of incense.

But if it comes to the end of the dynasty, he might be beaten to death by a monster.

Even if they were lucky enough to escape the apocalypse, the emperor of the new dynasty might feel that the City God was incompetent, and directly appoint a local celebrity to be the new City God.

The most important thing is that the God of Incense has too many restrictions.

"Students don't dare to have second thoughts," Shi Zhongkui pretended to bow and salute, saying repeatedly that he didn't dare to have the idea of ​​replacing him.

His actions really reassured Chenghuang.

After the two of them exchanged polite words again, Shi Zhongkui explained the reason.

Hearing that someone wanted to murder him, the City God's eyes widened and his beard and hair grew furiously, but after being angry, he became helpless again.

"Good people don't know that, although the little god is a local city god, in charge of the affairs of the underworld in Shuntian Mansion, he can't interfere with the affairs of the world, let alone decide the life and death of mortals.

We can only report today's affairs to Emperor Dongyue, and the emperor will report to the underworld, and the judge and Lord Yan will decide.

But in the eyes of the little god, the actions of those few who wanted to harm good people must be recorded in the book of life and death. "

Of course Shi Zhongkui also understood this point, what he wanted was for the City God and the Underworld to register the names of these people, and it would be even better to list them as heinous people.

When the time comes to kill them with human means, then it is not doing evil, but eliminating evil and doing good.

"The student thanked the lord, but the student still thought about succeeding in the imperial examination and applying for a job in the Tuntian Division of the Ministry of Industry after being called in the Golden Palace.

Strive to increase the production of three to 500,000 stones of grain and fish for Gyeonggi within three years.

By that time, tens of thousands of people will be supported, which means tens of thousands of lives, and the students will not be in vain. "

One stone weighs 120 catties, and for an adult, three to five stones a year plus some wild vegetables is enough to eat seventy percent full.

If it is calculated by not starving to death, three, 500,000 shi, let alone tens of thousands, can feed 150,000 people.

And as the old saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and this merit is so great that the City God trembles in his heart.

And he knew very well in his heart that Shi Zhongkui didn't have to stay in Gyeonggi to preside over farming.

If he wants to go to the south, or just go to Jizhou, Qingzhou, where the water volume is larger, then the credit goes to the city god and the land there.

Moreover, Emperor Dongyue is in Qingzhou, let alone drinking soup to earn some merit, maybe he will be reprimanded and punished by Emperor Dongyue.

"Good people, please don't worry, the little god will go back and report to Emperor Dongyue."

After the Chenghuang finished speaking, he frowned and thought for a while, then said with some concern, "A good man is also the hope of the people in the world, it is better for the little god to send a wandering god day and night, with soldiers guarding the good man day and night, and at the same time he can listen to the benevolent man's orders." Credit?"

Shi Zhongkui didn't care about other people taking merit from him at all, and saluted with a smile, "Thank you sir."

"Should be, should be", seeing him agree, Chenghuang smiled brilliantly.

He shouted an order in the direction of the capital, and Ye Youshen appeared outside his hut with 12 soldiers, bowed his hands to the city god, and said, "I've seen you, my lord."

"You must remember to protect Mr. Shi, otherwise you will be punished severely."

All the soldiers hurriedly saluted and responded, "Yes, my lord."
