People are among the Eight Immortals, starting from Painted Skin Ghost

Chapter 177 City God of the Capital of the World: Why did I come to this land of Chang'an from the Great Emperor's disciples, Laojun's disciples...

"Mr. Shen Ke's chess skills are extremely good. Pindao played many games with him, winning less and losing more."

Han Xiangzi looked bitter, and said the right thing to Yuan Jian.

"Uncle has invaded the art of chess for many years. He specializes in attacking, defending, killing, seizing, saving, and defending. He is already a national player. It is reasonable that Master Dongxiao can't beat him."

Yuan Tiangang had often suffered under the hands of Mr. Shen Ke, and he felt a little sympathy when he heard what Han Xiangzi said.

After the words were over, Han Xiangzi returned to the topic, and first asked Yuan Jianzheng where his Dongxiao Guangji Tianshi Temple should be built.

Yuan Tiangang has lived in Chang'an for a long time, and he knows the appearance of this city well.

Therefore, he immediately gave some suggestions.

Fengshui metaphysics, Shuzang suppresses Qi, and Han Xiangzi knows little about it.

Seeing that what Yuan Tiangang said was straightforward, he didn't ask too much. After planning the place, he asked the minister of the Ministry of Industry about the size of the temple.

Several people talked for more than an hour before finally deciding on a plan.

And Han Yu had already ordered the kitchen to prepare the luncheon.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Yuan Jian left after lunch in the Han residence.

……

……

But said.

After Moon Bo Tianjun came to Chang'an this year, he stayed in Chunhe Xianfu for three to five days.

Among them, one day was to pass on Zhong Kui's "Exorcism Dafa".

In the remaining few days, he explained to Zhong Kui the practice of "Exorcism Dafa" and taught him how to sacrifice the magic weapons.

With Yuebo Tianjun's help, Zhong Kui could use those magic weapons with ease.

In the past few days, his cultivation base has made considerable progress, presumably because he practiced the "Exorcism Dafa".

When Yuebo Tianjun left Chang'an, Han Xiangzi, Mr. Shenke and others all came to Chunhe Xianfu to see him off.

……

is the day.

Yuebo Tianjun returned to Taihe Mountain, came to Xuanqi Yuxu Shangjing Tianzhong, and communicated with Emperor Zhenwu.

"My lord, the little god has found Zhong Kui in Chang'an, taught him the great method of exorcising demons, and bestowed magic weapons such as the sword of descending demons, the indestructible vajra red robe, and so on."

Seeing the patriarch of Nine Heavens Destroying Demons sitting high in front of the hall with his hair disheveled and barefoot, Yuebo Tianjun bowed and said.

"Yuebo Tianjun, you have worked hard all the way."

Hearing this, Emperor Zhenwu smiled.

"It's just looking for people, it's not hard work, and with the help of Daoist Dong Xiao, the trip went very smoothly. It's just that Zhong Kui is still tied up by something, I hope the emperor will make the decision."

Yuebo Tianjun shook his head and said.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Zhenwu asked.

"Then Zhong Kui had two sworn brothers. After his death, he killed himself in front of his grave. Now he wants to find out the whereabouts of these two?"

"What is your name?"

"Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu."

Yuebo Tianjun thought about it and said.

The words fall.

Emperor Zhenwu's expression sank, and while his thoughts were turning, he searched all over the world, and in just a moment, he knew the whereabouts of those two people.

"My lord, how is it?"

Seeing this, Yuebo Tianjun asked.

Emperor Zhenwu said: "These two people were not reincarnated after death, but were captured by a ghost king with a huge mouth, and they were entrenched in Huangquan Road with him.

Hearing this, Yuebo Tianjun tentatively asked:

"How to do it then?"

"Does the Great Emperor want to inform the Great Emperor Fengdu?"

"No need."

Emperor Zhenwu refused straight away, saying:
"This is Zhong Kui's catastrophe. This emperor passed on his "Exorcism Dafa" and gave him a treasure. How can such a good fortune be taken lightly?"

"Does the little god want to go to Chang'an again and tell Zhong Kui about this?" Yuebo Tianjun asked again.

Emperor Zhenwu blurted out:
"There is no need to go to such trouble, I will tell the city god of the capital of the world to send someone to inform Zhong Kui."

Say it.

Yuebo Tianjun nodded slightly.

……

In mid-spring, the sky changes as it says.

Yesterday was still bright and sunny, but today there was a thunderstorm.

The continuous drizzle drenched the city of Chang'an, and it also felt chilly.

In the streets and alleys, many people also added some clothes.

But in the Han residence, as Zhong Kui entered the door, there were bursts of exclamations.

"Ghost... ghost!"

A servant who was sweeping the floor saw Zhong Kui, who had a leopard's head around his eyes and a iron face and beard coming in, his face turned pale with fright, and he screamed.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"How can there be ghosts in broad daylight? Besides, my real Han family is still here, even if there are ghosts, I have to go around... let's go..."

The old servant was annoyed when he heard the words, and came over to reprimand him, but when he raised his eyes to see the big man in red, his expression was terrified, and he was too frightened to speak.

"Don't be afraid, you two. A certain family is a good friend of Daoist Dongxiao, who came to the Han residence upon invitation."

Seeing this, Zhong Kui hurriedly explained.

The voice fell.

The two servants looked at each other, but they still couldn't stop their bodies from shaking.

"Brother Zhong Kui, you've come here, that Minister Cui has been here a few times."

Suddenly, a loud laugh sounded behind him.

It was Han Xiangzi who came out from the courtyard and greeted him.

"You two don't need to be so flustered, he is the sage king bestowed by the sage on the town house to eliminate demons."

He glanced at the two servants and smiled warmly.

"Brother Zhong Kui, please come in!"

After saying that, Han Xiangzi dragged Zhong Kui to the main hall.

Another servant was sent to the house of Cui Shilang, the official department, and asked him to come to Han's mansion.

Here, Han Yu learned that a few days ago His Majesty personally appointed the town house demon slayer to visit his home, so he naturally came over.

Although he already knew that Zhong Kui was born with a strange appearance and had a bearded face, Han Yu was still very frightened when he saw it with his own eyes.

After a while, he calmed down.

"Meet Han Gong!"

Seeing Han Yu coming in, Zhong Kui immediately stood up and saluted.

"To drive... Zhong Zhuangyuan, there is no need to be polite."

Han Yu originally wanted to call him the Holy King of Exorcism, but after thinking about it, he quickly changed his words.

After the two were polite, Han Yu went to sit down beside Han Xiangzi, and asked:
"Xiangzi, then Minister Cui, did you ask someone to call?"

"I've already sent someone, and I think Cui Shilang will be here in less than half an hour."

Han Xiangzi nodded and said.

Right now, the Minister Cui has not arrived yet, Han Yu sees that Zhong Kui's conversation is extraordinary, and he has nothing to do, so he chats with Zhong Kui, and he asks:

"Zhong Zhuangyuan, who is from Zhongnan Mountain? Is there anyone else in the family?"

"To be honest with Mr. Han, a certain family is from Nanshan Town, Lantian County, Zhongnan Mountain. Both parents died when they were young, and they depended on a younger sister for life."

Hearing this, Han Yu was slightly startled, and couldn't help praising:

"I didn't expect Zhong Zhuangyuan to have such a miserable life experience, but you will become the number one scholar in high school in the future, presumably because of studying hard, you are really a model of officials in the world."

After the words fell, Zhong Kui sighed:
"It's a pity that the luck is not good, and things are unfair..."

Regarding this, Han Yu also remained silent for a while.

Suddenly, Zhong Kui showed a trace of worry on his face, and said:
"Speaking of which, after my death, I don't know what happened to my sister Zhong Li?"

Hearing this, Han Yu suggested:
"Thanks to the grace of the saints, Zhong Zhuangyuan was able to be buried as the number one scholar. Why don't you go back to Mount Zhongnan to have a look?"

"A certain family also has this intention." Zhong Kui said.

Seeing that the two were chatting excitedly, Han Xiangzi interjected:
"Brother Zhong Kui, when are you leaving? Pindao also wants to go with you."

"I'm afraid Brother Zhong Kui doesn't know yet. The place where I practice Taoism is in Zhongnan Mountain."

"To have Daoist Dongxiao as a companion, a certain family can only wish for it." Zhong Kui said, sweeping the gloom from his face.

Before I knew it, half an hour passed.

Cui Shilang also rushed from home to the Han residence.

Now he is not wearing an official uniform, but a slim purple-collared robe.

As soon as he arrived at the Han Mansion, the servants led him to the hall.

"Han Gong, I am late, but I hope you will forgive me."

As soon as he stepped into the hall, Cui Shilang confessed his crime.

"It's not too late, Cui Shilang, please sit down!"

Han Yu laughed, and stretched out his hand to signal.

Regarding this, Cui Shilang was not in a hurry to sit down, and when he was about to turn his head to say hello to Han Xiangzi, when he suddenly saw the big man in red with an iron face, he shouted as if he saw a ghost:

"Han Gong, he...is he a human or a ghost?!"

"Cui Shilang, this is the sage king of the town house and exorcising demons personally appointed by the sage."

Seeing this, Han Xiangzi couldn't help laughing, and said.

"It turned out to be the Holy Monarch of Town House Eliminator, sorry... sorry, sorry."

Hearing this, Cui Shilang finally came to his senses, he felt that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly bowed his head.

"Cui Shilang, you don't have to be polite with a certain family."

Zhong Kui didn't care, said.

Then, several people stepped into the topic.

This servant Cui comes from the Cui family of Qinghe, a prominent family of the Tang Dynasty.

Now, less than 40 years old, he has taken the position of minister of rites, and has a bright future.

But this time the Holy Majesty asked him to be in charge of burying the town house demon slayer with the ceremony of the champion, which made it hard for him.

After all, this man had been dead for a long time, and he couldn't even find Zhong Kui's tomb, so why should he bury him?

In the past few days, he first went to the Ministry of Officials, and after a lot of trouble, he got Zhong Kui's file.

You must know that Zhong Kui's crash into the Golden Luan Palace was quite a big incident, and the official department has very few records about it.

Just mentioned a few words.

This also caused Cui Shilang to seem to be doing useless work these days.

Fortunately, seeing a real person now, all problems can be easily solved.

"Zhong Zhuangyuan, do you want to be buried in Chang'an, or return to your ancestral home?" He asked.

"When the fallen leaves return to their roots, they will naturally return to Zhongnan Mountain."

Zhong Kui replied without thinking.

"Then I'll go back tonight and write a letter to the Lantian county magistrate."

Cui Shilang responded immediately.

"I also have a girl named Zhong Li in my family. I hope that Cui Shilang will ask the Lantian county magistrate to help find her."

Hearing this, Zhong Kui mentioned to Cui Shilang.

"It's natural."

"Don't say anything about Zhong Zhuangyuan, this official also understands."

"Besides your sister, do you have any other relatives?"

Cui Shilang smiled slightly, then asked again.

"No more." Zhong Kui shook his head.

After the words fell, Cui Shilang was stunned.

Not long after, he also asked where was Zhong Kui's body buried?

This is the most important thing!
Cui Shilang couldn't move even if he couldn't get his body.

"Later, a certain family will lead you there."

Zhong Kui said.

Speaking of moving the grave, Zhong Kui also wanted to bury the corpses of Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu with himself.

With this in mind, Zhong Kui brought up the matter with Cui Shilang again.

Regarding this, Cui Shilang did not dare to be careless, saying that he could not make a decision, and could only ask His Majesty tomorrow.

But in his view, this matter is not a big problem.

Firstly, Zhong Kui, the corpse owner, agreed, and secondly, his two sworn brothers acted so emphatically in love and righteousness that it made people weep.

After everything was discussed, Zhong Kui and Cui Shilang walked out of Han Mansion.

Accompanying him was Han Xiangzi.

Speaking of Zhong Kui's body, his good brother Du Ping paid for the burial.

At that time, Du Ping and Zhong Kui came to Beijing to take the exam, and they were also in high school!
Before he died, Zhong Kui asked him to take care of his sister when he had time, but what happened now?

……

Zhong Kui's body was buried outside Chang'an City, at the foot of a wild mountain.

Du Ping did not dare to erect a monument because Zhong Kui offended the dignitaries.

Therefore, even if Cui Shilang knew that Zhong Kui's tomb was here, he really didn't know for a while.

In addition, there are many tombs around, and it seems to be a mass grave soon.

When Zhong Kui came to his grave again, Zhong Kui stood there with a look of disappointment, without saying a word for a long time.

Knowing his state of mind at the moment, Han Xiangzi didn't speak, and called Cui Shilang, and the two of them retreated to the side.

After waiting for a stick of incense, Zhong Kui found three skeletons.

It was him, Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu.

Seeing these three skeletons, Cui Shilang wanted to call someone to collect them.

But Zhong Kui didn't want to be so troublesome, so he rolled up his sleeves and put the three skeletons into his sleeves.

His King Kong indestructible Dahongpao is a treasure, it can be big or small, it is easy to swallow mountains and absorb mountains.

"Cui Shilang, when you are ready, you can ask a certain family to leave for Lantian County."

After collecting the bones, Zhong Kui said to Cui Shilang again.

"Don't worry Zhong Zhuangyuan, you can leave in three days at the latest."

He would be happy without the need for Cui Shilang to send someone to collect the funeral. Hearing this now, he hurriedly assured him.

Soon, several people left this wild mountain.

When they arrived in the city, the three parted ways.

Cui Shilang went back to his home, Zhong Kui went to Chunhexian Mansion, and Han Xiangzi went back to Han Mansion.

……

……

Changan.

The world is in the Temple of the City God.

On this day, the city god of the capital of the world was wearing a three-talented uniform and a crown on his head. He was dealing with a public case. Suddenly, in the temple, the Dharma banner was raised, and a golden light spewed out from the incense altar.

With just a few breaths of effort, it turned into a line of small seal characters and spread it in front of the hall.

Such a movement naturally aroused the attention of the city god of the capital of the world, so he raised his head and looked over. When he saw that the words on the top of the head were the treasures of Emperor Zhenwu, his expression changed immediately, and he said in surprise:
"Why did Emperor Zhenwu send a message to this City God?"

To know.

The city god of the world is under the control of Taishan Mansion.

To put it bluntly, it is Emperor Dongyue.

Occasionally, he has contacts with the underworld, several Yan Jun ghost emperors.

But Emperor Zhenwu didn't have much contact with him.

Right now, the latter suddenly sent a message to him, and the city god of the world is really flattered.

Involuntarily, he became more cautious, looked at the cloud seal script, and read it carefully.

It didn't take long for the City God, the capital of the world, to understand.

Dare to feel that Emperor Zhenwu sent him a message, asking him to send someone to tell Zhong Kui about his two sworn brothers.

"Then what kind of person is Zhong Kui?"

"It's really strange that you can bother the emperor to send a message..."

When he came back to his senses, the city god of the world thought to himself.

Fortunately, Emperor Zhenwu informed the whereabouts of Zhong Kui, who was in Chunhe Xianfu in Chang'an.

The City God of the Capital of the World has heard about Chunhe Xianfu.

It was a mansion given to Master Luo Fu by His Majesty the Tang Dynasty.

As for the real Luofu, there is Taoism and immortality, and it is impossible for the city gods in the world to have never heard of it.

In his opinion, since the matter involved Emperor Zhenwu, he should go to Chunhe Immortal Mansion himself.

By the way, let's get acquainted, who is Zhong Kui?

……

……

The next day, after the morning court, Cui Shilang begged to see Emperor Tang alone.

The two monarchs and ministers met in the imperial study.

"Cui Shilang came to see me, but what's the matter?"

Tang Huang sat on the dragon chair and asked.

"There is a matter for His Majesty to decide."

Cui Shilang said.

"Cui Aiqing, but it's okay to talk."

Tang Huang opened his mouth and said.

"Your Majesty ordered the minister to bury Zhong Kui, the sage who exterminated demons in the town house. Yesterday, the minister and him saw his corpse, but Zhong Kui still wanted to bury his two righteous brothers together?" Cui Shilang said.

"Oh? Zhong Kui also has two righteous brothers? How did they die?"

Tang Huang sighed lightly, and hurriedly asked.

"Those two men married Zhong Kuiyi to Jinlan, and after his death, they didn't want to live on, so they committed suicide in front of his tomb."

Cui Shilang said.

"what?!"

"Then Zhong Kui's two righteous brothers committed suicide?"

"Unexpectedly, that Zhong Kui is the generation who sacrificed his life for righteousness, and his two righteous brothers are also very affectionate, really surprising!"

Hearing this, Emperor Tang was startled.

In ancient times, there were quite a few people who followed the example of Guan Gongyi and married Jinlan. The death of Lanjiao like this is rare, and it is even rarer to hear of it!

Thinking about it, Emperor Tang respected Zhong Kui and the others even more.

Tang Huang asked curiously: "What are the names of those two?"

"Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu!" Cui Shilang hurriedly said.

"Okay! Just as Zhong Kui said, the three of them will be buried together in one place, and you will have someone write a tribute to this act of loyalty."

Emperor Tang praised the case and agreed to the matter.

"Sir, obey the order!"

Cui Shilang replied.

In his opinion, Han Yu is the most suitable for the matter of writing essays.

……

……

So ever.

On the second day, Cui Shilang went to the Han Mansion again, begging Han Yu to write an epitaph for Zhong Kui, recording Zhong Kui's death with Liu Hanyan and Wang Fuqu.

To this, Han Yu naturally agreed.

He also asked Han Xiangzi to go to Nachunhe Xianfu and inform Zhong Kui about it.

……

It is worth mentioning that, on the second day after Nayuebo Tianjun left, Naluofu left Chang'an and traveled all over the world.

Before leaving, he handed over Chunhe Xianfu to Lu Dongbin to take care of him.

is the day.

Outside the Chunhe Immortal Mansion, came a square-faced, square-faced man wearing a black robe with a strange and hale face.

He appeared to be about 50 years old.

This person is not someone else, but the city god of the world.

He walked to the gate of Nachunhe Xianfu, saw Erdaotong guarding the door, and said:

"I want to pay a visit to Master Luo Fu, so I will say that my neighbor is visiting."

Chunhe Immortal Mansion and the Temple of the City God, the capital of the world, are both in Chang'an, aren't they close neighbors?
Therefore, the words of the city god of the capital of the world are not false.

"My real family has gone wandering, and is not in the house."

The Taoist who opened the door looked at him and said.

"Not at the residence? When did Master Luofu leave?"

The City God of the World was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help asking.

How could it be so unlucky?
"A few days ago." The child said.

Seeing the extraordinary appearance of the city god of the capital of the world, the Taoist boy changed his words again:

"Currently, Master Chunyang is in the residence, I wonder if you want to see him?"

"Pure Yang real person?"

The city god of the world has never heard of this treasure, so he stayed for a while.

"Chunyang Zhenren and my family's Zhenren are good friends. They have extraordinary abilities. They are the head of the Quanzhen School in the world. They are known as the city of swords and immortals. They are called Luzu."

Seeing the perplexed look on the face of the City God of the Capital of the World, Dao Tong couldn't help feeling suspicious.

This person came to find his own real person, presumably he knew him well.

If it doesn't work out, he is also a master of Taoism.

How do you not know the name of Master Chunyang?

This is strange.

"Then go tell Chunyang Master."

All the city gods in the world have come, so it is naturally impossible to go back, so they nodded and said.

After the words fell, the Taoist boy went in and went to Taisu Palace to report to the real Chunyang.

Unfortunately, not long after he left.

Han Xiangzi came here because of Shi Shiran.

As soon as he arrived at Chunhe Immortal Mansion and saw the people outside the door, Han Xiangzi's eyes froze suddenly.

As soon as the eyes of the sky opened, he saw that this person was full of Yin Qi, and he was full of righteousness. He was no less than the Northern Ghost Emperor he saw in Luofeng Mountain in the underworld.

"Who is this person, why did he come to Chunhe Immortal Mansion?"

Seeing this, Han Xiangzi thought to himself.

At that time, the city god of the capital of the world also discovered Han Xiangzi.

Seeing that the latter has a beautiful golden appearance, and the three flowers on the back of his head, he is clearly a Daoist real person, and he can't help being stunned.

When did so many Youdao immortals come to Chang'an?

Leaving Daoist Luofu aside, there is a Daoist Chunyang inside, and there are already two young Taoists who came here.

"The Daoist Dong Xiao is here!"

Here.

Another boy, seeing Han Xiangzi approaching, rushed forward to meet him.

Han Xiangzi often comes to Chunhe Xianfu these days, and naturally knows the Taoist boy who is in charge of the door.

Besides, he is on good terms with Master Luofu, he is also the junior of Master Chunyang, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is half of Chunhe Xianfu.

"Ah."

Han Xiangzi nodded slightly.

Immediately, he called the Taoist boy here and asked:

"Who is this person, and what is he doing here?"

"This person claims to be my real person's close neighbor, and he came here to visit the patriarch, but it's a pity that my patriarch went on a cloud tour a few days ago, and Mingfeng went to report to Chunyang real person earlier." The child said honestly.

After the words fell, Han Xiangzi understood slightly.

Then he walked in front of the city god of the capital of the world, bowed and said:
"Poverty Han Xiangzi, I have met this senior."

"Senior, please follow the path."

"Thank you."

The city god of the capital of the world said something indifferently, and followed Han Xiangzi into the Chunhe Immortal Mansion.

at the same time.

The other Taoist who was guarding the door almost dropped his jaw when he saw this scene.

What did he see?
The dignified Daoist real person, Dongxiao Guangji Celestial Master, who was conferred by the Tang Emperor himself, was so polite to that person?
What is the origin of this person? !
……

the other side.

Daoist Mingjing went to Taisu Palace and told Master Chunyang that there was a person from the outer sect who claimed to be a close neighbor of the patriarch and wanted to visit here.

Regarding this, Lu Dongbin pondered for a while, then let him in.

As a result, as soon as Mingjing Daoist left, he saw his junior brother leading a person to the hall.

"Junior brother, he... he is?"

Lu Dongbin's Tianyan was more venomous than Han Xiangzi's. The moment the city god of the capital of the world stepped into the palace, he realized that this person had a lot of origins!
Not a mortal guest, but an immortal driving a crane in the sky.

In an instant, Lu Dongbin looked directly at Han Xiangzi and asked.

"I do not know either."

Han Xiangzi smiled wryly.

"I don't know if the senior came here, what advice do you have?"

Lu Dongbin paused, then looked at the city god of the capital of the world, showing a very polite gesture, and Jishou spoke.

It is said that the city god of the world came in, and he also discovered the extraordinaryness of Lu Dongbin.

I was even more shocked now.

Even now, the city god of the world has not hidden himself.

Not for anything else, just because these two people are at such an age, they can gather three flowers and become real people, and they are qualified to know their identities. He said bluntly:

"I am the city god of the capital of the world, and I am ordered by Emperor Zhenwu to come here to meet a man named Zhong Kui."
