I live in Dayu Changsheng

Chapter 213, Strange

Xu Wen is a scholar who went to Beijing to rush for the exam.

The empress ascended the throne, and her reign title was Shenhuang. In the second year of Shenhuang, the state examination was expanded to be a scientific examination, and scholars from all over the country went to Jianye.

However, he was delayed for some time on the road. Fortunately, the scientific examination date was in March, so it was not too late.

Da da!

Xu Wen was wearing a green shirt of Gebu, leading a donkey, with a sword at his waist.

Beside him, there is a book boy with a book basket on his back.

He was born in a county town, with a middle-class family background, no guards, only a book boy accompanying him, but he has some martial arts skills.

He didn't take the small road all the way, but only followed the official road. If there was a chance, he would go with the caravan. The rest of the dangers were dealt with cautiously.

There was no strongman who came here to make things difficult for him, a poor scholar.

This afternoon.

Xu Wen, master and servant, passed by Songping Township and Songhe Village.

"Master, here is near Jianye, we finally caught up." The book boy's tone was full of joy.

"Yes!"

Xu Wen thought of all the hardships and hardships along the way, and couldn't help feeling sad: "Xiao Wu, there is a village ahead, let's go buy some dry food."

"Hey, master." The book boy Xiao Wu agreed, took the donkey and followed it.

At the entrance of the village, there is a small temple. From time to time, villagers come and go, with pious looks and incense.

At this time, two aunts came out and were still talking.

"Since we have Lord Land God, our village is stable, and we are not afraid to go out at night."

"Yes!"

The other aunt sighed, then lowered her voice suddenly, and gossiped: "Hey, do you know that Aunt Liu in the north of the village has always wanted a son and prayed to the land god, guess what? There was a reaction yesterday, like There is."

"Really? Aunt Liu is over 40, this is an old tree blooming!"

"Isn't it? The Lord God of the Land appeared and gave away his son!"

"Also, begging for rain from the land god, it really rained a few days ago."

"I see, the seedlings in this field are green and green this year, growing faster than in previous years!"

……

"laugh!"

Hearing this, Xiao Wu laughed out loud: "Young master, exorcising evil spirits, begging for rain, and fertilizing the fields, that's all. Appearing to give birth to a child, I'm afraid it's not a lewd god and evil priest!"

This sound immediately stabbed the hornet's nest.

"Go, what do you know, you bastard?"

"That's right, Master Land God, is that what you can say?"

The two aunts lowered their faces and stared at the book boy Xiao Wu, as if they dared to say a word, they would call someone to beat him out.

"You two aunts, don't blame me. I am a scholar who came to Beijing to rush for the exam. This is my bookboy Xiaowu. Just now Xiaowu didn't mean to offend me. I will apologize on my behalf."

As Xu Wen said, he cupped his fists and apologized.

In this world, scholars are still very respected, and he is well-mannered, so the two ladies are not so angry.

"That means we can talk."

"If other people in the village heard this, they would definitely beat you..."

"Thank you two aunts for your generosity. I wonder if you can tell me about this land god?"

Xu Wensu was fond of superstitions, and had a strong interest in these things, so he asked at this time.

"Master Land God, this is a good god..."

"Yeah, you don't know..."

The two aunts talked about the deeds of the land god, bless you for peace, pray for rain and fertilize the fields, and so on.

"If this is the case, he is a virtuous and kind god."

After hearing this, Xu Wen also went in and lit a stick of incense.

Seeing this, the expressions of the two aunts became more and more kind, as if they were incensed, and they believed in the land god, and they were their own people.

With their help, Xu Wen's master and servant bought food smoothly and left.

"Master, don't you not believe in God?" Xiao Wu asked after leaving Songhe Village.

"It's not that I don't believe it, but in the past, when I tried to prove it, it was mostly false. This time it seems to be different. If I have to go to Beijing to catch the exam, I will definitely live here for a while and investigate..."

Xu Wen shook his head with regret: "Furthermore, wherever you go, you must respect and awe. Respect the heaven and the earth, the people, the ghosts and gods. If you have awe in your heart, you will not cause a catastrophe..."

……

Songhe Village, Earth Temple.

Fang Rui's avatar was attached to the statue of the land god, standing high above, overlooking the believers below, listening to the layers of prayers, he had a different mood.

A little bit of fire flickered, amidst the smog, rich incense luck gathered.

Whoa!
He stretched out his hand to grab it, and the incense and air turned into wisps of vermilion divine power.

"Although incense is good, it also comes with karma. Fulfilling the wishes of believers is a way to end karma."

These days, Fang Rui also used supernatural powers: exorcising evil spirits, delivering children, fertilizing the fields, praying for rain, and fulfilling the wishes of believers.

Exorcising evil spirits, one’s own responsibility, needless to say, repaying the cause and effect of the two big sacrifices every month; giving off a child, this is only to increase the probability of pregnancy; The divine power is somewhat different.

Of course, Fang Rui would not do anything that would make a loss for the believers. He received ten cents of incense and did five cents. If the incense is not enough, don't even think about it.

As for why it is "receive [-] cents incense, do five cents"?
Don't middlemen want to make the difference?He is a majestic land god, does he work for nothing for free?

Let's use an analogy: For example, sending a child requires five strands of divine power, and Fang Rui will only fulfill his wish after the disciples provide ten incense sticks.

Therefore, it is useless to cram for a while!

"There are also believers who offer incense, but those who have no vows, these extra incense and good luck must be recorded, and after the believers die, they will be given divine power to pay back."

"Such chores, I am a dignified land god, I do it myself, I don't have time to fish!"

"It seems that we still need to follow the example of Yin soldiers, form civil servants, and contract out this job."

Fang Rui thought about it, and with a thought, he returned to the Land of the Gods.

……

Leave Songhe Village.

Xu Wen's master and servant continued on their way. They didn't go far, and came to a mountain depression. Suddenly, there was the faint sound of a tiger roaring.

"Master, could it be that there is a big bug?" Shu Tong Xiao Wu whispered.

"I'm afraid so."

Xu Wen thought for a while, then frowned and said, "Let's go, Xiaowu, let's go back. Tomorrow, hire villagers to go to Jianye together."

Recently, for unknown reasons, wild animals in the countryside often rioted and attacked passers-by, and he killed many of them.

But it was the first time he had encountered a tiger, so he was not confident that he could beat it.

Who knows, this is the influence of the falling of the dark stars. Although it is more difficult for beasts to change, they are also affected and become restless.

Xu Wen's master and servant had just turned around, but an unexpected guest appeared.

"Roar!"

A white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes blocked the way.

It is one foot long, with a tail like a steel whip, and it is drooling with blood. Obviously, it has seen human blood.

"Young master?!" The book boy Xiaowu fought.

"kill!"

But Xu Wen shouted loudly, holding a three-foot sword in his hand, and rushed out.

Before turning around, it was because of caution, but now it is because it is brave to advance, but because it cannot escape, only the brave who meets on a narrow road wins.

……

After a great battle, Xu Wen's master and servant died together with the big tiger with a white forehead. No, to be precise, it was Xu Wen who died with the tiger with a white forehead.

Whoa!
On Xu Wen's body, a soul appeared.

"So, after death, do people really have souls?" He looked at his hands with a sense of transparency.

"Master?!" Xiao Wu appeared beside him, but his voice trembled, and he pointed his finger at one place.

"Hoohoo!"

It turned out that a soul appeared after the death of the eye-catching white-fronted tiger.

"Beasts are the same as people. Will there be a soul after death?"

Xu Wen muttered, grabbing the sword with his backhand, but it was empty. In the state of soul, naturally he couldn't hold the sword of Yangjian.

And this time-

"Roar!"

The white-fronted tiger with dangling eyes has already rushed towards him with the hatred he had had during his lifetime.

"Master!" Xiao Wu pushed Xu Wen aside, but his own arm was bitten off.

"Little five!"

Xu Wen turned around with angry eyes and smashed his fists down, but was thrown away by the white tiger's tail.

"Cough cough!"

He clutched his chest, but couldn't get up again, his soul and body were unstable for a while: "This tiger with bare hands really can't beat this tiger."

"Could it be that my master and servant are going to die again today?"

A wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

That's when--

"You beast, how dare you commit murder?"

Hearing a loud shout, a red light flashed, and a long knife rushed towards him.

Swish!
The eye-catching white-fronted tiger was pierced through, its body froze, and suddenly collapsed, leaving only a long knife, pierced on the ground and trembling rapidly.

Xu Wen saw that it was actually a group of soldiers. Their souls were so solid that they looked like living people, but they walked without feet. It turned out that they were the same souls as himself.

However, being the same soul, the other party was much stronger than himself, and there was a faint evil spirit on his body, which made him feel difficult to breathe for a while.

"Master?" Xiao Wu got up from the ground with only one arm left, and asked nervously.

"It's okay, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover the soil."

Xu Wen looked calm and bowed to the leader: "I don't know who you are?"

"We are the Yin soldiers under the command of the land god."

Su Hu looked over: "Look at your outfit, you seem to be a scholar? Can you read and understand numeracy?"

"My young master, of course he will." Xiao Wu said proudly.

"Little five!"

Xu Wen shook his head slightly at Xiao Wu, with good manners: "Thank you for your help, I, Xu Wen, if there is something useful, I would like to do the work of a dog and a horse."

"Not for us, but for the Lord God of the Land."

Su Hu patted Xu Wen on the shoulder: "You are lucky. The land god is about to select civil servants. If you are selected, it will be a great thing. Don't miss this opportunity."

A group of Yin soldiers returned with Xu Wen's master and servant.

When he came to the Earth Temple and walked straight through the shrine, Xu Wen felt a blur in front of him, and the scenery changed suddenly, and a temple similar to the layout of the county government appeared.

Shutong Xiaowu was taken away, and he himself was led into it by Su Hu.

"My lord, I have found another literate soul. This person's name is Xu Wen. He was a candidate who was going to Beijing to rush for the exam. He was killed by a tiger." Su Hu knelt down on one knee and reported.

"Oh?!"

From Fang Rui's point of view, he nodded slightly when he saw the lush literary spirit on this person's head: "If that's the case, let's take the exam together with these seven or eight people!"

These seven or eight people are all literate people who died of illness or old age in Songhe Village and neighboring villages these days. They used to be scholars, or they had studied for a few years, or they were old accountants...

Before, he felt that he had to find someone to share the chores, so he gathered some literate people to take the exam.

'This Xu Wen has the highest literary spirit and is obviously the most outstanding person, but it is not easy to be appointed directly, and he has to take the exam and go through procedures, so that he can convince the public. This is the way to establish a system! '

Fang Rui thought to himself, and with a flick of his sleeve, his divine power transformed tables, chairs, and test papers.

"Land God?!"

Hearing the voice, Xu Wen raised his head secretly, and took a look, only to see a young man with a jade-like face bursting with divine light all over his body, so dazzling that he almost shed tears.

'Shenwei is like the sea!The power of God is like a prison!The ancients did not deceive me! '

He sighed secretly, looking at the tables, chairs and test papers that appeared out of nowhere in front of him, his heart was even more awe-inspiring.

'I was going to Jianye to take the scientific examination, but I didn't expect Zhongdao to die, but after I died, I had to take the examination. '

Xu Wen thought to himself jokingly, smiled, calmed down, and started writing.

As a result of the exam, Xu Wen really came out on top, and four others passed the selection.

"Xu Wen, I canonize you as a clerk today, and Fu He, Gu Mao, Xu Bai, and Xu Jiang will be the clerks. They will register the living people in Songhe Village and record the incense..."

Fang Ruigao sat on the head, flicked his sleeves, and each of the five people appeared on the body of the pawn, ordering the official to obey.

"Thank you, sir!" The five people had different expressions, some were calm, some were excited, some were regretful, and they agreed in unison.

"That being the case, let's take office today!"

Fang Rui nodded slightly, and used his divine power to create a side hall, allowing the five of them to go to work immediately.

After they leave.

"Ah, I can finally fish!"

He stretched his waist, looked around: "It seems, what else is missing?"

a while.

"Take a picture!"

Fang Rui's eyes lit up, and he punched his left palm with his right fist: "I figured it out, I'm missing two, three, four or five maids, rub my shoulders and back!"

……

You hour (about five o'clock in the afternoon).

Boom!
The bell rang, and it was time to go down.

Out of the land temple.

"Xu Dianli, let's have dinner together tonight!"

"It's tasteless, what's the point of eating it? I invite adults to drink!"

"No, Mr. Xu is here for the first time, and I'm afraid that many things are unclear, so I'll show you the way and introduce..."

……

The four colleagues said enthusiastically.

Obviously, it was because Xu Wen had a great future and wanted to make friends.

But when they saw Su Hu, they retreated one after another and agreed to another day.

Not only Su Hu, but also Xiao Wu, the book boy, also came, and his arm recovered as before.

"Xiao Wu, your arm?"

"Master, Big Brother Su took a treasure, and with a wave like this, I'll be fine." Shutong Xiaowu waved his hands and gestured.

"Thank you Brother Su, that treasure must be very precious, I..."

When he came here before, Su Hu saw that Xu Wen was a talent, so he mentioned some things, plus the grace of saving his life, Xu Wen's master and servant called him that.

"Hi, you're welcome!"

Su Hu waved his hand: "It's just a lot of money. Brother Xu also has it. However, this big money is indeed a treasure with extraordinary functions, but... I will work for the Lord God, not only have a lot of money, but also have other benefits. For example, every day The feast of the month..."

Talking all the way, came to the entrance of the village.

"Please, everyone, give me a lot of money!"

"Poor, poor..."

"Tomorrow is the seventh day, my family... woo woo!"

……

A group of people were actually begging here, such as Lu Dong's family, among them.

The officials in front, such as Fu He, all avoided.

Xu Wen was not a good person either, so he didn't give it away either, and entered the village.

"Ugh!"

Su Hu sighed: "It's not the people like me who serve the God of the Earth. After about seven days, their souls will be gone... These people are also helpless. Of course, Brother Xu doesn't take the initiative to give it, and no one dares to snatch it."

He led Xu Wen's master and servant to settle down, had a drink, and explained the situation here in detail.

After dinner.

After sending Su Hu away, Xu Wen sat down by the window with a sighing expression: "I never thought that the situation after death would be so miraculous."

He took out the paper and pen presented by Su Hu, and swiped to record, recording the changes that became the soul after death, recording the magic of the soul village, and recording what he saw and heard today.

This article is called "The Legend of the Land God". Under Fang Rui's publicity, it will become a famous article in the Yang world through the ages. Thousands of years later, it is still selected as a textbook.

However, by that time, the meaning had already changed, and it was defined as a work of fantasy, ghosts and ghosts. What kind of translation of words and sentences expressed the author's thoughts and feelings, and killed the brain cells of countless high school and elementary school students.
