The heavens start from Liaozhai

Chapter 13
City God Temple.

The Town God's Temple is not very big, and the plaque in front of the temple is engraved with three characters of "Town God Temple".

There is a pair of sentences praising the city god in front of the door
On the left and right sides, there are two words of praise for the city god, "Yao Ming Ming Xi Qiang Day Dark" and "Eastern Wind Blows Rain of Gods".

Everyone came to the gate of the City God.

The guards lined up to guard the two sides. The two guards rushed into the Chenghuang Temple, checked that there was no problem, and after confirming that it was safe, they slowly retreated.

"Sir, it's safe inside." The guard came out to report the situation.

"Since it's safe inside, how about I go in and find out what's going on?" Member Lin looked at Magistrate Zhao and the others.

Several people nodded and walked slowly into the Temple of the City God.

The head of the Li family looked around and looked at the black and shiny beams. After hundreds of years, there was still no trace of moths.

Suddenly he said with emotion: "The establishment of the Town God's Temple dates back hundreds of years ago. During the founding of the Xia Kingdom, there was a severe drought in our Shaoyang County, locusts ravaged, and the people were hungry.

So everyone was asked to work together to build the Town God's Temple. On the day when the Town God's Temple was built, the day became dark and dark, like night, when there was a thunderstorm, and the sky began to rain heavily.

County residents prostrate themselves in front of the Town God's Temple, thanking the gods for their grace. "

"Li Yuanwai knows the history of Chenghuang Temple, but now is not the time to sigh and look back at the history.

Let's check first. " Lin Yuan hinted at the two family guards who followed.

The two guards immediately followed Lin Yuanwai's order and began to investigate carefully.

Cha Tan's guard exclaimed: "My lord! The back of the statue of the City God is cracked."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu hurried over and found that there was a big hole.

"Everyone, I'm right." Zhao Pinghu said.

"I don't know if the county venerable knows where Miao Zhu has gone? Is the city god still there? Miao Zhu needs some psychic communication." Li Yuanwai asked Zhao Pinghu.

"To be honest, Brother Li, this temple wish has long since disappeared. We asked the surrounding residents, and it has been more than a month since we saw the temple wish." Zhao Pinghu looked bitter.

"Since Miaozhu is not here, we can only wait until night to try to attract the City God." Li Yuanwai said.

"Does Brother Li have a way to attract the City God?" Zhao Pinghu's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"I still have a stick of incense at home, which can attract gods, but it needs to be lit at night to be effective." Li Yuanwai said to everyone.

Magistrate Zhao looked at Yuanwai Lin and Yuanwai Liu.

Lin Yuanwai was silent for a while, and then said: "The matter of the city god is of great importance, we should confirm it."

Lin Yuanwai spoke, but Liu Yuanwai had no objection.

Then a few people waited for the arrival of night.

Lin House.

"Master, this is a farm and mine given to you by Mr. Luo." Steward Wang held a land deed and a mine delivery contract.

"Brother Luo's speed is fast, what else can Brother Luo say?" Lin Ping asked.

"Mr. Luo said that the farm is not peaceful recently and some problems have occurred. Now some villagers have fled the farm. If the young master is free, he should deal with it as soon as possible.

He also said that the most valuable things in the Luo family are the farm and the mine, and the young master had better go to the two properties as soon as possible to familiarize himself with the situation. Steward Wang told Lin Ping what Luo Xiang had said.

"I see, how many guards can I dispatch at home?" Lin Ping asked.

"The guards must be dispatched with the permission of the master. The young master has no right to command them." Steward Wang lowered his head.

"I heard that my father went to the Wangchuan Building for a party, is there such a thing?" Lin Ping continued to ask.

"It was invited by County Magistrate Zhao. It should be to discuss the Luo family's affairs." Steward Wang replied.

"I see, you go down."

"The little one, back off!"

After Steward Wang left, Lin Ping was silent for a while: "Now that I have money and property, I should train my own horse boy. It is always a troublesome thing to not have a horse boy to run errands for me.

It is impossible for me to send out guards every time without the consent of my father. "

Thinking of doing it, Lin Ping directly called the housekeeper.

"What's the matter, young master?" the butler asked.

"Help me find a crowded area, I want to buy a yard and open a martial arts gym.

The yard must be big, you know? "Lin Ping ordered.

"The young master said there is one in the yard, and it's quite big inside." Guanshi Wang said.

"Take me to have a look, I want to buy this yard right away."

"Yes, sir."

Then, Steward Wang brought Lin Ping to the courtyard.When the owner of the yard saw someone coming to the door, he came out to receive him.

After the two negotiated the price, they signed the land deed, and the yard was worth 5000 taels of silver.

Originally, he could have bargained down the price, but Lin Ping felt that it was a waste of time, so he quickly bought it.

Then there is the replacement of the plaque.

The plaque was not difficult, Lin Ping directly carved four big characters "Blue Star Martial Arts Hall" on the plaque with his sword.

"Master, this name is a bit of a mouthful, what does it mean?" Steward Wang asked.

"It's not very interesting. You also know that I don't know many big characters. It would be nice to be able to write these characters myself." Lin Ping smiled.

The next step is to recruit personnel. In this world, there is no shortage of refugees. As long as the employment package comes out, no one is afraid that no one will work for him.

City God Temple.

It was getting dark, Zhao Pinghu and others had been guarding in front of the City God Temple for a long time, and what they were waiting for was the moment of darkness.

Everyone lit torches and stood guard outside the Town God's Temple.

"Brother Lin, it's not suitable for too many people to watch this matter of attracting the gods. Can other people stay away?" Li Yuanwai said.

"Go down first, you can't come in without my greeting within [-] meters." Lin Yuanwai ordered.

The guards obeyed the orders of Lin Yuanwai.

Zhao County Magistrate also ordered the police to wait outside.

There were only the four main characters in the entire Town God's Temple, and the Town God's Temple became quiet.

Li Yuanwai took out the fire folder and lit the Yinshen incense. After bowing three times to pay homage to the gods, he inserted the Yinshen incense into the incense jar of the Town God's Temple.

"I'll beg to see the City God."

The spirit-inducing incense was burning, and nothing abnormal was found.

"If it's not convenient for the City God to meet, you can directly collect the incense."

Still no movement.

"This time, I will come here to confirm whether the Lord City God is still there. If not, I will re-establish the City God."

Yin Shenxiang remained motionless.

Patriarch Li's face was extremely ugly. At this moment, he was sure that the City God had fallen.

The faces of the other people were also not good. With the City God present, the ghosts and snake spirits would not dare to enter the city to make trouble. Now that the City God is not there, there is no City God to suppress the ghosts and snake spirits. In the city at this moment, there are many aliens mixed among the human beings.

"It's no wonder that there are always weird incidents in my family's property recently. I didn't expect the City God to be gone." Liu Yuanwai looked at everyone.

"The City God is not here, so let's re-establish the City God!" Lin Yuanwai said.

"But re-establishing the City God is a major event. It must be reported to the emperor and approved by the emperor before it can be re-established." County Magistrate Zhao said with a wry smile.

Everyone didn't speak, they all had their own thoughts.

You must know that in today's world, Emperor Ding'an is obsessed with immortality and cannot extricate himself. This establishment of the city god is related to borrowing the dragon energy of the Great Xia Kingdom, and it involves the dragon vein luck of the royal family. The two princes in charge will never approve what they do.

Everyone looked at Lin Yuanwai, as if expecting Lin Yuanwai to speak.

The best way to deal with this matter is to set up a private City God, but a private City God is a matter of disobedience, and only when the Lin family reports it to the Jiedu Envoy and gets the Jiedu Envoy's consent, can they dare to reestablish it.

Member Lin thought of everyone's thoughts, how could he do such a disobedient thing as a private city god.

Although Lin Chuan is now valued by Lord Jiedu Envoy, as long as they open their mouths to ask Lord Jiedu Envoy, Lord Jiedu Envoy will definitely agree.

But it is also very likely to offend Lord Jiedu and lose his candidacy.

How could Yuanwai Lin not have thought of the reason for this, a fool would make such an application.

"Isn't it necessary to re-establish the City God now? I don't think there is any need to be anxious about this! But Zhao Xianzun should file a letter to the court, and still need to file a letter!" Lin Yuanwai said.

"That's natural. Although the hope is slim, I have to give it a try. I only hope that the emperor can see my memorial!" Zhao Pinghu felt helpless.
