Yipin Tang

Chapter 249 Marshal Tianpeng
"Uncle Cheng's house is so lively." Wang Xiang sat down beside Cheng Yaojin and sighed sincerely.

There are more than a dozen tables at the banquet, and there are no empty seats. Some officials are not high enough to even have a seat. It is a great honor to be able to drink a glass of water and wine after New Year's greetings and gifts.

Hearing what Wang Xiang said, Old Cheng seemed even happier, and said with a smile: "It's lively, I, Old Cheng, like to be lively. Come, drink and drink."

After a few glasses of wine, Lao Cheng became more and more excited. He suddenly heard someone talking about the door god, and suddenly remembered something. He pulled Wang Xiang and asked in a low voice: "Will you help me to ask me what kind of god I came down to earth when I went back yesterday?"

The news that Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong are gods descended to earth has spread through Yuchi Jingde's bragging. Old Cheng was jealous and envious of this, so before going back yesterday, he asked Wang Xiang to find out what kind of god he descended to earth. Xiang could only nod his head in agreement, but he didn't expect Lao Cheng to ask questions right now.

Seeing the excited expression on Lao Cheng's face, Wang Xiang felt dizzy for a while. Not only Lao Cheng, but also Li Er didn't know how to explain it. The ancients valued reputation the most. If they give a satisfactory answer, I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to survive.

It's just that the Mantian gods and Buddhas really have nothing to do with Lao Cheng Neng. In later generations, he has a famous name, the devil king of the world.

If the name of the Hunshi Demon King is mentioned, it will definitely not be easy to please, Wang Xiang coughed dryly and said: "I asked, the fortune teller said that Uncle Cheng is Hunshi... the great god."

"Great Hunshi?" Old Cheng's eyes lit up. The name sounds more imposing than a door god. "What is the name of Hunshi, and what does it matter?"

I don't know what the Great God of Confusion is. Wang Xiang thought to himself, his brains turned sharply, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and blurted out: "The Great God of Confusion has a more famous name."

"Oh?" Old Cheng's mouth cracked when he heard that there was a more famous name, and he asked, "What name?"

"Marshal Tianpeng!"

Hearing the word "Marshal", Lao Cheng rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes glowing.

"Marshal Tianpeng, but the marshal in charge of the Heavenly Army?"

Wang Xiang nodded solemnly and said: "Marshal Tianpeng is the marshal in charge of the 30 Tianhe army, and he is famous."

"Haha, I knew that my old Cheng was absolutely extraordinary, Marshal Tianpeng, in charge of the 30 Tianhe army, and Da Heitan was just a little fairy watching the gate, hahaha!"

The laughter shook the sky and immediately attracted everyone's attention. Someone asked with a smile, "Why is the old man so happy?"

Lao Cheng was in a good mood, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Dahei...cough, you must have heard that General Yuchi and General Qin descended from immortals."

"I heard that after General Yuchi returned to the mansion yesterday, the news spread. Even His Majesty admitted that they were gods who came down to earth, and asked Yan painter to draw portraits of the two of them, saying that they have the effect of guarding the house and warding off evil spirits. Thinking about going to the door in a few days to ask for two portraits to guard the house and ward off evil spirits."

Hearing people say that Wang Xiang was a little surprised. Although it was a very strange thing to bring a warehouse to the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xiang still didn't believe in ghosts and gods in his bones. He knew that Li Er had nightmares all year round because of the Xuanwumen incident in history. In his opinion, it was just thinking day by day and dreaming at night, and it was only a psychological effect to sleep peacefully with Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong guarding the bedroom, so he put forward the idea of ​​the portrait of the door god.With Li Er's wisdom, he shouldn't believe it so easily, but now it seems that Li Er seems to be quite concerned about this statement, and Wang Xiang is also a little confused.

What he didn't know was that while he was sleeping soundly, a group of ministers had already entered the palace to worship.The first day of the Lunar New Year was called "Yuan Day" in ancient times. Every year on Yuan Day, officials would go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor. The reason why Wang Xiang didn't know it was because his official position was too low, and he was not qualified to enter the palace to pay Li Er's New Year's greetings according to the system.

Li Er went back to the palace after getting the two portraits of door gods painted by Yan Liben yesterday. Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong were not allowed to go back to the palace together.

After falling asleep, Li Er was dazed and saw the former princeling who died in the Xuanwumen Incident come back to ask for his life. When he was panicking, two divine lights flashed from the gate of Ganlu Temple, and Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong descended from the sky , like a god coming down to earth, holding a double whip and an iron mace, the image is exactly the same as the image on the door god's portrait, and the nightmare disappeared. This time, Li Er slept very peacefully. After waking up, he still clearly remembered Yuchi Jingde He and Qin Qiong's heroic and extraordinary images immediately summoned Yuan Tiangang, and then mentioned the door god while the officials were worshiping.

It is precisely because of this that Lao Cheng hurriedly asked Wang Xiang what kind of god he was, he and Yuchi Jingde had always been unconvinced with each other, and wanted to compete in everything, so naturally he didn't want to lose to Yuchi Jingde in this matter.

After hearing that man's words, Lao Cheng laughed: "The door god is just a little god who looks after the door."

Seeing Lao Cheng's expression, someone had an idea, and asked in surprise: "Could it be... Mr. Cheng is also a god?"

clever!Lao Cheng gave the man an appreciative look, nodded and smiled, "Yesterday I asked Zixin to ask the fortune teller, but I'm actually that...what's the matter?"

Old Cheng tilted his head and asked in a low voice, Wang Xiang was sweating, and quickly said: "The Great God of Confusion."

"Not this, that more famous name."

"Oh." Wang Xiang sweated even more, "Marshal Canopy."

"Yes, it's Marshal Canopy!" Old Cheng had never been a marshal in his life, so he was very pleased to hear Wang Xiang say that he had descended to earth as Marshal Canopy.

"Marshal Tianpeng?" Everyone was curious, "What kind of god is Marshal Tianpeng?"

Old Cheng smiled triumphantly: "Marshal Tianpeng is the god who is in charge of the 30 Tianhe army, how can he be compared with a mere door god?"

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Lao Cheng said so, and everyone naturally knew how to cooperate. The courtyard was amazed for a while, and Lao Cheng was very pleased with what he heard, and the eyes he looked at Wang Xiang were much more loving.

Hearing the compliments around and Lao Cheng's laughter, Wang Xiang was really embarrassed and didn't dare to stay longer, so he found an opportunity to sneak away.

Cheng Chuliang was welcoming guests at the door, when he saw Wang Xiang running out in despair, he immediately shouted from behind: "Zixin, where are you going?"

"I still have something to do, I'm leaving first, don't send it off..."

Cheng Chuliang scratched his head and looked puzzled, at this time a guest came out, and when passing by Cheng Chuliang's side, he cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations to the lieutenant son-in-law, your father Cheng Cheng is the marshal of Tianpeng, no wonder he is a general in the mansion. "

Marshal Canopy?Cheng Chuliang was even more confused, what's going on?
