Chapter 1510 Origin of City God Temple

Wu Xifeng gave him a sneaky look of contempt, "This is a temple in the Qing Dynasty, and it was built after a high-ranking official made a wish."

He elaborated on the origin of this Town God's Temple.

"It is said that when the senior official went to Beijing to study, he lost his way in the mountains. When he came to this place by accident, he met a beautiful female ghost."

"A person with lofty ideals doesn't care about his age. The high official was smart since he was a child. He knew that he had encountered evil spirits, but he didn't have any treasures to deal with evil spirits in his hand, so he chanted the Tao Te Ching and hid in the broken hut no matter what the evil spirits called him."

"Xie Chong saw that he would not be fooled, so he resorted to means to tear him alive. The high official called the Lord of the Earth to help him out of desperation."

"Why the Lord of the Earth?" Tang Chun couldn't bear to interrupt.

"Because this place is far away from people's habitation, there is neither Town God's Temple nor other temples, so we can only call Tiandi Gong." Wu Xifeng explained briefly and continued.

"It just happened that after he called the Lord of the Earth, a gust of wind came from outside the house, and the thatched hut collapsed, and the roof just fell on the evil spirit."

"The high official was able to escape, and when he came out, he saw a figure standing ten meters away, watching his hand pointing away."

"It just so happened that Xie Chong crawled out from under the house. He panicked and subconsciously ran in the direction pointed by the figure. He didn't expect to be moved by a pile of graves not far away."

"The man was scared to death, and then saw the evil spirit rushing towards him, and in a panic, he grabbed the things under his hand and threw them out. Unexpectedly, the evil spirit was injured and escaped."

"The senior officer nestled in the cemetery all night, and only at dawn did he realize that what he threw out was a human bone. He was so frightened that he didn't want to run away with his bags."

"When he found a nearby village, some kind-hearted people took him back to pick up his luggage. When he came to the cemetery, he said that the human bones he captured were said to be the tiger-fighting heroes a hundred years ago."

"Being grateful, the high-ranking officials swore in front of the grave that when they become prosperous, they will definitely write books for the tiger-fighting heroes, and build the Town God's Temple so that he can enjoy the incense in the world."

"This is the origin of the Town God's Temple." Wu Xifeng finally concluded.

"How does that high official know who the tiger-fighting hero is?" Tang Chun said with an expression of "Don't lie to me", "I've read no less than a hundred novels, and those who can be city gods are usually loyal and martyrs. It only takes someone to believe in the surname."

"If you don't believe me if I ask you to read more books," Tang Lin said, "You can look up the name in the local county annals. Wu Song's fight against the tiger can become a classic. The real tiger-fighting hero must be recorded in the county annals."

Wu Xifeng nodded, "It is said that the Town God's Temple was at its peak at that time, and the way we came in was very wide."

When I walked over just now, there were deep and long weeds around my feet. If I didn't pay attention, I couldn't tell that it was a straight road.

"This place is too remote." Jiang Laodao said, "No wonder no one came."

"By the way, your family built bridges and roads for the original village. Why didn't you think about building this temple?" Jiang Yi turned to Tang Lin.

Tang Lin shrugged, "I didn't know, my grandfather rarely mentioned this temple."

While talking, they had already arrived in front of the temple. The lintel of the main entrance in front had collapsed, a roof was missing at the gate, and the door panel fell in the yard. Many floor tiles inside were missing, and grass was everywhere.

Half of the heads of the city gods enshrined in the temple are missing. I don't know whether it was in disrepair or man-made damage, but this also made the dilapidated temple look even more dilapidated.
