Chapter 314 The Dragon God seeks death
The Chenghuang Temple has red bricks and black tiles, the doors and windows are painted, and a mottled couplet is engraved on both sides of the front of the temple.

On the right it says: Hugh come and ask me

Engraved on the left: Just ask the heart

The writing is very artistic, but there is something fishy about the drought, both inside and out.

Meng Fan knew how to look at qi and had a little bit of fortune-telling skills. The people here were simple and honest. Putting aside the ability of the county magistrate, at least he was not tainted with any karma, and his previous words were very convincing.

"This man is so handsome."

“You’re just a bit shy, why do you come to this invisible City God’s Temple?”

"Quickly, go report it to the county magistrate."

"If the city god doesn't rain, the good people will suffer. Let's ask a Taoist to write a letter to God Haotian!"

Some of the people who had not dispersed talked all over the place.

And these sounds all reached Meng Fan's ears.

At this moment, he has entered the hall and is looking around carefully. The interior is indeed like a county government hall. Although the paint is peeling off in some places, it is not leaking and looks neat.

The villagers obviously took good care of it.

You don't have to do nothing all day long and be busy painting, right?
Even the palace is not being repaired every day.

At this time, Meng Fan walked up to the statue of the God and raised his eyes to look at the statue of the City God. His eyes were quite calm and he followed the etiquette. He did not look around or do anything frivolous. He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't you have nothing to follow?" Did Pindao say that?"

Almost at the same time, the statue of the City God shone with golden light, and a deep sigh came from it.

"Oh, fellow Taoist."

"It's hard to do it down there."

The old man from the land hesitated and refused to find the City God. Now that he has found the City God, he behaves strangely and seems to have something unspeakable.

For a moment, Meng Fan suddenly thought of a certain plot in "Journey to the West", in which the Marquis of Fengxian County offered sacrifices to the Jade Emperor. However, he quarreled with his wife before the sacrifice, uttered obscene words, and not only overturned the tributes, but also fed the sacrifices to wild dogs.

Therefore, the Jade Emperor ordered people to build a ten-foot-high rice mountain in the Pixiang Hall, with a native rooster pecking the rice next to it, and another twenty-foot-high mountain with a dog licking the rice. Above it, at the end is a golden lock three or four inches long, with a lamp burning continuously at the bottom.

Only when the chickens finish eating the rice, the dogs finish licking the noodles, and the fire breaks the locks will it rain in Fengxian County.

As for the final solution, Sun Dasheng asked the people of Fengxian County to repent with all their heart, and then wrote a letter to Heaven for listening. The Jade Emperor's anger subsided and decided to issue an order for rain.

But the laws of the Tang Dynasty were strict.

To offend the Emperor of Heaven?Ordinary people do not have this qualification, so they can offer sacrifices to any god at any level. This is all determined.

"Since you call me Taoist friend, I won't treat you as an outsider."

Meng Fan said seriously: "In three days, if there is no rain, we will tear down the statues and burn down the temples. You should be aware of the disadvantages of using incense to confer gods, especially when the soul is still embedded in the clay body."

"Why don't you tell Pindao what the reason is? One person is trying to figure out the shortcomings, and two people are trying to figure out the advantages."

The statue fell silent.

However, Meng Fan could feel that the other party's eyes swept over him again and again, as if he was calculating whether he could handle the matter with his body and background.

To be honest, the layout is too small.

The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism is about to break out. Meng Fan not only dares to go down the mountain to join in, but also wants to reverse the trend.

Can't bear this?
Now, as long as the city god tells the whole story, he will dare to prescribe the right medicine and report it.

"Ugh."

While sighing, a faint voice of explanation sounded:
"Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the City God only had to secretly defend against various disasters and war invasions. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he began to coordinate the order of Yin and Yang, govern the undead, and occasionally arrange for rainfall."

"And this is the responsibility of the Great Dragon God Si Yu. I can only report it to the superior. Right now, he is still indifferent. What can I do?"

In the novels of previous lives, there are endless routines for getting old from childhood.

To be honest, Meng Fan vaguely realized it now.

Whose instructions did the Huaishui Dragon God get?

What are the causes and consequences?There is no rainfall in Baidu Baili.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know the reason?"

Facing Meng Fan's probing eyes, the City God Statue hesitated again and said euphemistically: "I heard from an acquaintance in the Yinsi that Lord Long was dissatisfied with the imperial reward. He always felt that the status of the Duke was low, and he wanted to use this matter to test it. What’s the reaction over there?”

"In addition, there is a new Dragon Lord of Huaishui. The old Dragon Lord from the Sui Dynasty had perfected his merits and ascended to the immortal world. The current Dragon Lord has no followers. Rumor has it that a wild dragon became a Taoist and took the opportunity to refine the divine seal..."

As soon as the words fell, calm returned to the palace.

Meng Fan was in disbelief.

"Is this lard that has deceived you? How dare you."

The gods with heels know the pros and cons.

No heels...shouldn't it be more like this?

It's a bargain for nothing, and the throne has been raised by the supreme humane decree, but he is still not satisfied.

Even if the wild dragon becomes a spirit, since he knows how to seize the opportunity and refine the divine seal that symbolizes authority first, it shows that he is not a fool.

"Alas, only it knows about this."

"Since fellow Taoist friends know about my difficulties, please explain it to the local county magistrate. After all, I have also suffered an unreasonable disaster."

As he spoke, a ray of golden light flew out from the eyebrows of the City God Statue, and the power of incense, which was far from grand, quickly condensed into the figure.

I saw a middle-aged man wearing a black futou and light blue official robe, with a thin face and a gloomy brow, stepped forward, cupped his hands and said:
"Troublesome fellow Daoist."

The city god was ordered by the underworld, but he was in the yang world. It was actually very difficult to cultivate the yin virtues and spiritual energy of the underworld. He mainly relied on incense.

Those with strong incense have unpredictable power.

Those whose incense has declined will be tightly controlled by other gods. The temple is like a shabby house with air leakage from all sides, and has to be threatened by local parents, such as the one in front of you.

"Let's do this. Pindao will first open an altar to pray for rain and alleviate the people's crisis, and then he will liquidate the Huaishui Dragon God and make the whole story public."

"good."

After a while, the city god returned to the clay statue.

Meng Fan left the temple.

With his own strength, he would definitely not be able to defeat the Dragon Lord. It was not the two-clawed evil dragon that he had killed casually before, but a wild dragon that had been practicing for countless years and refining the divine seal. Perhaps it had already transformed into a dragon.

In this case, it’s definitely a matter of connections!

There are many great gods who can control the dragon god. Among the three officials, the water officer is the general in charge of all the great gods in the water. Every October [-]th, he descends to the human world to punish sins and blessings and eliminate disasters for people.

As long as they are born in water, the great emperor can take care of them.

The Great Emperor Sitian Zhaosheng of Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue controls rivers, lakes, seas, and animals, and he can also punish the Dragon God for his lawlessness.

But don’t seek two masters for one thing.

When Meng Fan was thinking about who to invite, the green-robed county magistrate received the news and came towards him, proactively greeting him:
"Master."

"Master Mingfu." Meng Fan regained his composure and replied.

In the Tang Dynasty, you should not call someone "sir" randomly, unless you want to be touched on the head and called "good boy".

In addition, even if you call your father "sir", you have to do it in a very serious situation. It is usually "grandpa", "yeye", or even "brother".

This is the letter Li Shimin wrote to his son Li Zhi:
Twice I got the big internal book, but I didn't see the slave watch, Ye Ye was jealous of wanting to die forever, when I was young, I suddenly got the slave's handwriting, and reported my wife's troubles, and the anxiety was relieved for a moment, and I wanted to be reborn after death.

Today is over, but my head is windy, so I will report immediately. If there are few illnesses, I will report them one by one. Now I have news from Liaodong. I will record the report and send it. I remember that the slave wants to die, but I don’t know what plan to send him back. Yes. Yeshi.

The meaning is quite heartwarming.

I received documents from the palace twice, but there was no letter from you, Pheasant Nu (Li Zhi’s nickname). Dad, I was worried to death.Just now, I suddenly got a handwritten letter from Pheasant Nuyou, saying that my wife was sick. My worries and fears disappeared immediately, as if I had been resurrected after death.

From now on, whenever you have a headache, you will write to report it immediately. Dad, if I get sick, I will also write to tell you.I got news from Liaodong (battlefield) today. I’ll give you a copy. I miss you so much that I don’t know what to do.

Send someone to deliver a letter (letter formula)
Father's edict (signed by the emperor)
