As the downfall of the Republic of China, there was a Taoist priest named Uncle Jiu

Xiao Si's immature, innocent and timid voice sounded in Gu Zhou's ear, and he couldn't help grinning.

"Xiao Si, if you haven't avenged your revenge yet, I will definitely avenge you..." Wan Wan

Chapter 344 City God Invitation

Gu Zhou's words of promise came to an abrupt end, because he saw more than a dozen corpses floating in the river. Their bodies were pale and swollen, but their faces could be vaguely seen.

It was the group of children and their parents.

Xiao Si had already taken revenge.

"It's good to have revenge."

Gu Zhou's depressed mood finally felt a little better. Everything around him gradually blurred, and his fingers disappeared. He had already returned to Li Hua's room, maintaining the posture of violently pushing the door.

Li Hua looked at Gu Zhou in horror, and stammered, "Gu...Mr. Gu..."

Gu Zhou looked around for a week and found the source of the incident. He pointed to the mirror on the table and frowned and asked, "Did you take this mirror back?"

Seeing Gu Zhou pointing directly at the mirror, Li Hua also realized that there was something wrong with the mirror, and replied truthfully: "When I was buying meat for Dahei "Qi Er Qi", I passed by a grocery store, and I saw this mirror by accident, so I bought it. I'm back... Mr. Gu, is there something wrong with this mirror?"

"Problem, the problem is getting bigger, change to a weaker one, it has already been killed by this mirror."

Li Hua quickly explained: "Mr. Gu, I didn't do it on purpose..."

"Okay, I don't blame you, I took the mirror away."

Gu Zhou waved his hands and took the mirror and left.

He guessed that Li Hua was plotted by someone, it should be some kind of suggestion ability, which made Li Hua think that he liked this mirror, so he bought it back.

This kind of ability is not unusual, Gu Zhou can easily do it, and even plant the idea of ​​'life is meaningless, let's commit suicide' in the hearts of ten people at the same time.

In modern times, no matter how you kill someone, it is impossible to leave any clues.

Li Hua was sitting in the room in a daze, worrying about gain and loss, now he was afraid that Gu Zhou would drive him away because of this kind of mistake.

…………

Back in the room, Gu Zhou looked at the mirror over and over again. It was a bronze mirror with hollow patterns on the back, which were delicate and complicated, and there was nothing unusual about it from the appearance.

It looks new, but in fact it has a history of at least 500 years.

Gu Zhou heard a small but familiar voice.

The breath left on many tomb robbers.

"It turned out to be a ghost weapon."

Gu Zhou has a conclusion.

Ming ware, also known as Ming ware, refers to the funerary objects that ancient people brought into the ground when they were buried.

Of course, if the ghost artifact is dug out through formal channels, it will be a museum collection, an exhibition relic.

The history of the burial of ghost objects is very long. A long time ago, rich burials were very popular. After death, many princes and nobles often buried a large number of servants and utensils they used during their lifetime.

And the ghost implement is the real object of the utensils used by the master before his death.

Later, it gradually evolved, and the trend of generous burials gradually declined. People gradually realized that "death is like a lamp going out", and no real burial objects were needed, and it was popular to be buried with model ghosts.

The so-called model artifacts are a set of funerary objects with distinctive features, mainly including warehouses, stoves, wells, windmills, huts, circle toilets, courtyards, pavilions, fields, ponds, and figurines of poultry and livestock.

The evolution of model ghosts to modern times is not too different from paper-made houses, cars, gold, clothes, and women.

But wealthy families or princes and generals are often afraid of being robbed of their tombs after their death.

Just like people like Cao Cao, in order to make up for the lack of military pay during his lifetime, he set up military ranks such as Faqiu Zhonglang General and Mojin Xiaowei, who specialize in robbing tombs to make money and subsidize military pay.

It is certain that after death, people like Cao Cao will set up means in the tomb in order to prevent people from being robbed and destroying the bones.

The most common of these is tampering with the ghost device.

The tomb-suppressing beast in Mengge's tomb is a kind of ghost weapon.

The owner of the tomb definitely hates the tomb robbers who want to destroy their own tombs and bones, so the hands and feet they do on the ghost vessels are also very vicious and weird.

As for this mirror, there is a high probability that a certain prince and general hundreds of years ago, a wealthy family hired someone to make a ghost artifact, and the person who made the ghost artifact found Xiao Si, the wraith, and sealed it in the mirror.

"I have only been in Shili County for a few days, and the only one who can plot against me through Li Hua is the Painted Skin Man."

"Rat in the gutter, you can only hide for one more day. I'll see where you escape every day."

Click!

Gu Zhou's brows were cold, and he pinched the mirror to pieces...

"Is it over?"

Gu Zhou opened the door and saw two figures came in through the wall, their faces were black and blue, and they were dressed in the clothes of government servants. When they saw Gu Zhou coming out, the two figures shrank back, as if they were very afraid and trembling: "Mr. Gu, please restrain yourself. Blood all over the body."

"Ghost?"

"Mr. Gu clearly learned that the young one belongs to the ghost messenger under the command of the Shili County Town God."

Gu Zhou restrained the energy and blood in his body, and looked at the two little ghosts: "What did the city god send you here for?"

Gu Zhou, the city god, is no stranger. The Temple of the Earth and the Temple of the City God are all official positions established in the underworld and in the underworld, and are responsible for the affairs of the underworld in a certain area.

According to normal standards, the characters who acted as the city gods were all once martyrs who died for their country in the world, or righteous and intelligent people.

In ancient China, the belief in the city god spread all over China under the admiration of the emperors of all dynasties. Almost every county had one or two majestic temples.

Before taking office, new officials must go to the Temple of the City God to fast and stay; on the day of taking office, they must complete a sacrifice in front of the City God before taking office, and ask the Lord of the City God to assist in local political affairs.

There is a saying called "Officials do their best, gods bless their spirits, each serves his duties, and he is worthy of the people"', which shows the respect and mutual dependence of the officials for the city god at that time.

In a world with ghosts and ghosts, the City God is also responsible for catching ghosts. Whenever there are ghosts and ghosts in the jurisdiction, the City God will send 5.2 ghosts to arrest them. If the ghosts are too powerful, the City God will personally take action.

Therefore, in a world like Liaozhai World where there are ghosts and ghosts, if the City God does something, the people in the jurisdiction basically don't have to worry about being infested by ghosts.

However, the demons and ghosts in the Liaozhai plane are rampant, which shows how ineffective the city gods in this world are.

If the City God acted, the so-called nine-tailed demon fox would not be able to do evil so recklessly.

"City God is hosting a banquet and invites you to the banquet."

The two ghost messengers bowed, and one of them came over with a red invitation card in both hands.

Gu Zhou took the red invitation card, and the invitation dissipated, and an ethereal voice echoed in his ears: "Mr. Gu, I am Wu Baoliang, the town god of Shili County. I am hosting a banquet today, and I invite distinguished guests to come to the banquet.".

Chapter 345

"Let's go."

As soon as Gu Zhou finished speaking, a few little ghosts came in through the wall carrying a big sedan chair: "Please come on the sedan chair."

After getting on the sedan chair, the four little ghosts carried the sedan chair out through the wall and entered a passageway with emptiness on both sides and only the front with light.

Through the passage, I saw a majestic and magnificent Chenghuang Temple.

Pass through the gate with the plaque of "Shili County Town God's Temple" hanging on it and you will arrive at Yimen.

There are two couplets in front of the door.The first couplet of a pair of couplets is: It is up to you to accumulate good and evil in the yang world; the second couplet is: Whoever has been let go by the underworld throughout the ages.

The first couplet of another couplet is: Why worry about worldly affairs; the second couplet is: Immortal world has its own Mahayana division.

There is a big abacus hanging behind the couplet, engraved on the abacus are four words "can't be counted by others", and the beads on the abacus are up and down, which symbolizes the "Mahayana division" in the fairy world.

Next to the abacus stood two huge sums.What is written on the huge amount is: those who do good will prosper, and those who do evil will perish.

After passing through several halls, the little ghost carrying the 06 sedan stopped, let the sedan go, and opened the sedan curtain for Gu Zhou.

A little ghost came to welcome Gu Zhou into the City God's Hall.

This hall is the main hall of the City God's Hall.

There are still couplets hanging on both sides: to praise the fairness and selflessness of the God of the City God, "It is difficult to find clues in this place where good and bad are clearly distinguished, and the justice of good and evil must be judged by the selflessness of heaven."

There is also a couplet praising the gods in the hall, "The way of heaven is selfless, doing good and auspiciousness to predict good and bad fortune, and the gods should practice meritorious deeds to solve disasters and distinguish evil, righteousness, loyalty and traitors" and criticize "Xie Li Yin and Yang".

In the center of the Town God's Hall is a red-faced wooden statue of the Town God of Shili County.

Gu Zhou glanced over from the corner of his eye, and saw that there were already more than 20 sedan chairs staying, and it seemed that there were quite a few people entertaining.

The City God is the lord of the underworld, no matter who is within the jurisdiction, he must show some face.

The little ghost led Gu Zhou into the hall, and many little ghosts worked as waiters walking around to serve the guests. The smell of burning incense permeated every inch of the space, which was the smell of incense.

"Mr. Gu, I am Wu Baoliang, City God."

As soon as Gu Zhou walked in, Wu Baoliang came up to meet him, clapping his hands heavily.

His appearance is somewhat similar to the red-faced wooden statue in the center of the City God's Hall. He is wearing a big red robe, with a reddish face, bright eyes, a broad forehead, regular facial features, and a dignified appearance.

"It's polite."

Gu Zhou has heard a little about the city god of Shili County. Although Shili County is a small county, it has a history of thousands of years. At that time, there was a cult in Shili County who wanted to massacre the city. He died fighting against the cult to defend the people.

After the evil cult was wiped out, the people of Shili County built a temple for him, and the incense was flourishing for decades. Only then did he become the city god of Shili County, and it has been 300 years.

Today's banquet is to celebrate the 300th anniversary of his tenure as City God of Shili County.

City God is not a permanent position, and has been double-supervised by Yangjian and the underworld. The underworld can be canonized, and the underworld can also be a god.

There is also the invisible surveillance of the people.

If the local government thinks you are incompetent and your performance in the jurisdiction is not good, you will be removed.

If Yangjian thinks that you have done a bad job, he will also report to the emperor that he has withdrawn from the post of City God.

And if the common people feel that you, the City God, are just a decoration, and stop worshiping the City God, or even be quite bloody, Tiankui, without incense, the City God Temple will naturally decline slowly, pointing to the cancellation of the entire City God Temple.

Therefore, although the City God is one of the best existences in the jurisdiction, it is not easy to do. There are too many restrictions, and anyone can criticize.

After chatting with Gu Zhou for a few words, Wu Baoliang immediately went to greet the other guests. No matter who he chatted with, he kept talking loudly and loudly. It seemed that everyone was familiar with him, which showed that he was good at dancing.

"Mr. Gu."

One person patted him on the back, turned his head to look, and saw the familiar leopard head with round eyes, iron face and curly temples.

Thinking about it, it’s true that the city gods of a place may not have the same understanding of a place. Even Gu Zhou, a city god who has only been here for a few days, invited him. It makes no sense for Yan, who has lived here for more than ten years. Chixia refused to invite.

Gu Zhou nodded and said hello: "I'm still wondering if Hero Yan will come."

Yan Chixia shook her head and said with a smile: "The local snake City God can't help but give face, maybe when he will need the help of the City God, of course, if the City God has something to do, he may ask me to wait for help, mutual help and mutual benefit."

"So, today I can see all the famous people in Shili County here?"

Gu Zhou glanced at the guests who had already arrived. Most of them either knew each other or were acquainted with each other. Only Gu Zhou was a stranger, and many guests were also secretly looking at Gu Zhou.

"It's about the same. That old man, the biggest gentry in Shili County, Xu Yuanwai, was a fifth-rank official of the imperial court and retired back to his hometown."

"That man is the richest man in Shili County. His surname is Meng, and he is known as Meng Bancheng."

"That Taoist priest is Master Yunshan, the master of the Shili Slope Temple outside Shili City."

"That man is the head of Xinglong Escort, the largest Escort Bureau in Shili County. He has already condensed the seeds of true energy, and his martial arts strength is tyrannical."

…………

Yan Chixia was introducing Gu Zhou. Some people looked normal, some were unhappy, and some looked over and nodded slightly.

Everyone who came to 727 today came out of their bodies. The difference was that Gu Zhou came out of his body to sit on Jiao Zi, while some people, such as Yuanwai Xu, had no ability and needed the help of a little ghost to seduce their souls.

"Hahahaha, the presence of the county lord really makes my Town God's Temple flourish."

Hearing Wu Baoliang's hearty laughter, Gu Zhou knew that today's most distinguished guest had arrived. He saw the City God enthusiastically dragging a middle-aged man in. The two of them seemed to be old friends for decades.

A county magistrate, the boss of the underworld in Shili County, and a city god, the boss of the underworld in Shili County.

"Chen Lun, the magistrate of Shili County, has been the magistrate of Shili County for a year."

Yan Chixia introduced softly.

He has lived in Shili County for more than ten years. Although he doesn't want to be with others, he has passively known many people in Shili County.

Chen Lun was the last one to arrive. So far, all the famous people in Shili County have arrived, more than 40 people, including about 30 monks and warriors.

Is it possible that the Painted Skin Man is among them?

Gu Zhouwei couldn't wipe away the many monks, thinking in his heart.

Suddenly, Gu Zhou's heart moved: "Hero Yan, the famous figures in Shili County must include the head of the Xuantian Sect's Shili County branch altar.".
