I became an immortal in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 147 The City God didn't want us to ask any more questions.
Yuan Danqiu became curious.

Holding a hoe, he and his husband buried various scraps of food in the ground. He thought for a while.

"Sir, who is this?"

Li Bai said, "The three men didn't stay long. They seemed to ask the general a few questions. When I pushed open the door, I only saw their backs. They were wearing official robes, so they looked like officials among ghosts."

Jiang She nodded.

"City God".

Yuan Danqiu quietly digested the information for a while.

No wonder General Red Blade has become much more obedient.

Jiang Shesheng smiled.

He petted the cat, and the three of them and the cat walked into the main room together. Yuan Danqiu pulled Li Bai to finish the game of chess they had just played, not allowing him to renege on the debt.

Li Bai refused, and then brought up the incident where Yuan Danqiu had taken advantage of his unpreparedness to switch three chess pieces.

Jiang She listened to the two arguing for a while.

He sat down at the table, picked up the Thousand Character Classic he hadn't finished reading, and beckoned to the cat.

Where were we in the previous reading?

The cat tucked its ears behind its back and slowly, very slowly, moved closer.

"Bird officer..."

After saying all that, the cat only remembers the bird.

Jiang She glanced at it twice, then continued talking to the cat: "The phoenix sings in the bamboo forest, the white horse grazes in the meadow, the sage ruler is virtuous..."

The cat joined in the commotion.

The phoenix sings in the bamboo grove, and the white colt grazes in the field.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

A knock came from afar, followed by a boy's voice.

Is Mr. Jiang at home?

For some reason, the door seemed to have been unlocked and opened by itself.

These days, Jiang She has become much more familiar with the Du family. Since they are neighbors, when Jiang She sits at the stall eating steamed buns, he often sits at the same table with the young master of the Du family, chatting and venting his frustrations.

The two families also frequently visited each other.

Sometimes, the Du family would cook a big meal that evening and specially bring a portion over for Mr. Jiang.

Du Fu also liked to do this; he would often go next door to listen to Jiang She tell stories of his travels, which were much better than what the teachers in the private school told him.

Du Fu glanced at the courtyard gate with a puzzled expression.

After looking around for a while, I saw a sword sheath hanging by the door, which looked very exquisite.

I couldn't help but feel curious.

The scabbard was also engraved with a design depicting a general riding a fine horse, galloping at full speed, holding a sword in one hand and the reins in the other. He looked radiant and spirited.

It looks like something valuable.

Upon hearing the sound, Li Bai immediately put down his chessboard and went out to open the door.

Behind him, Yuan Danqiu's annoyed voice could be heard.

"Taibai!"

Upon reaching the door, he saw a short, scrawny child. After a glance, Li Bai recognized him and said casually, "Come in with me."

Behind Du Fu, his uncle, Du Langjun, raised his hand and bowed slightly.

Follow me in.

Li Bai smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Du."

After welcoming the guests into the house, Li Bai decided not to continue playing chess and instructed Yuan Danqiu to make tea for them.

While the Du family uncle and nephew were talking to the teacher and not paying attention to this side, Yuan Danqiu glared at him, then took a few more glances at the chessboard to memorize it, lest some guy surnamed Li try to cheat later.

Jiang She closed the Thousand Character Classic in front of him.

The cat quickly ran outside, scratching at the locust tree, then ran wildly around the yard, even stomping on the roof tiles twice.

After he finished walking, he lay down in front of Jiang She and rolled on the ground.

Du Fu's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the cat.

Why is the cat so happy?

Jiang She also laughed.

"I'm happy to see the young man."

Du Fu smiled slightly.

He was actually only two or three years older than the two junior disciples from Yunmeng Mountain in the first year of junior high school in Sanshui. However, his temperament was much more upright. One of them grew up like a monkey on the mountain, while the other was raised in an official's family from childhood.

Du Fu remembered to ask, "Is that sword sheath hanging outside yours, sir?"

"its mine."

Jiang She leisurely teased the cat in his arms.

Du Fu was somewhat surprised. "Such a valuable item as a sword sheath, is it really left out in the open?"

He saw that the patterns on the scabbard were so lifelike, they must have been made by a master, as if they could come to life. It must be very valuable.

Jiang She spoke in a relaxed tone.

"I don't think it will get damaged by the rain."

Du Langjun smiled and took the opportunity to educate his nephew: "This is what makes Jiang Langjun so remarkable."

"He only ate a bowl of steamed buns every day, and his food and clothing were simple. He had such a precious sword sheath, but he could leave it outside at will, without fear of wind or rain, or theft."

Du Fu nodded in agreement.

Jiang She couldn't help but smile.

"The scabbard is forged quite sturdily; ordinary rainwater probably can't do anything to it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cloud of smoke drifted over from afar, and some sounds could be faintly heard.

Du Fu asked in a low voice:
Is someone talking?

Du Langjun nodded as well.

"These past two nights I've heard voices and the clinking of cups and plates in the courtyard, as if someone is having a feast... It's very strange. I wonder if Young Master Jiang heard anything?"

He stayed overnight at the Pei family's house last night.

The cat is also at the Pei family's house.

The little sprites in the yard are out and about again.

Jiang She said regretfully, "I wasn't home last night and didn't hear it."

Beside him, Du Fu was still listening to the sounds outside the courtyard. The more he listened, the more he felt that the sounds were different from those he heard in his own home, as if they were coming from people.

He asked curiously, "It sounds like the sound is coming from the doorway..."

Jiang She glanced at it and put down his teacup.

He tapped the table lightly.

At the entrance, the general immediately became much more obedient.

Yuan Danqiu and Li Bai heard this and laughed. Li Bai picked up the chess pieces one by one and put them back in the chess box. Du Fu, seeing their strange laughter, was somewhat puzzled.

After drinking another half cup of tea.

He explained the purpose of his visit: "My uncle dreamed of the City God for some reason, so he wanted to go to the City God Temple to pay his respects and offer incense."

"Coincidentally, there is a temple fair at the temple the day after tomorrow."

"Would you be willing to come with us to take a look?"

It's almost the twelfth lunar month now. In another month, it will be the Lunar New Year.

Jiang She thought of the City God he was visiting today.

"Of course!"

Du Fu laughed, his youthful face suddenly lightening, no longer as restrained and stern as before. His eyes shone with longing for the temple fair.

……

……

Pei family.

Pei then saw off the doctor he had invited.

The two stood in the ancestral hall of the house, with memorial tablets in front of them. In the very center, however, was a brocade box. The couple both knew that there was a powerful piece of paper inside the box.

The incense smoke rose gently.

Pei then recalled the three people he had seen in his dream.

He whispered to his wife, "Who would have thought that we would actually see the City God, the Civil Judge, and the Military Judge all alive in one day? Our family has had a truly extraordinary experience these past two days!"

Madam Pei looked at the brocade box.

"I wonder what it says that could attract the City God to come and investigate."

Pei was also thinking about it.

There should be a character inside.

I just don't know what the character is.

The City God they dreamed of didn't say anything, and they dared not ask any further questions.

Madam Pei carefully gathered the remaining incense sticks and asked suspiciously, "Why don't we go to the temple fair the day after tomorrow, and offer incense while we're there to ask?"

Pei then recalled the three people in his dream.

After pondering the words of the ghosts and gods, especially the last sentence from Judge Wu, "Knowing to bless your family is enough; asking so many questions is of no benefit to either of you."

Pei then thought about what to say.

"You can go."

"There's no need to ask. I'm afraid the City God and the two judges don't want us to ask any more questions."
