someone under me

Chapter 60 City God

Li Yi is not a person who burns incense in temples. If he hadn't died once, he wouldn't believe that there are ghosts and gods in this world.

But after he died once, he didn't even think about inviting a god statue to enshrine, and he didn't even remember the rules of burning incense in the temple on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year.

But this afternoon, Li Yi visited almost all the temples in the urban area, including a Zhenwu Temple, a Guanyin Temple, a Guandi Temple, and even a Confucian Temple.

However, Li Yi turned around a lot, but found nothing, not to mention the ghosts and demons hiding on the statue, and he couldn't even feel whether there was a god on the statue.

Or is it that my yin and yang eyes can only see ghosts, but not gods?
While Li Yi was puzzled, he heard the mobile phone navigation report: "The destination is 200 meters ahead."

"Damn, it's not easy to park in this place." Song Yang said while slowing down.

Although it was already afternoon, the area around the Town God’s Temple was still overcrowded. There were many tricycles parked on the side of the road, with incense watches and candles, and some weird-looking guys wearing sunglasses sitting on the horses. .

No need to talk about it, this afternoon is lively here. It is said that the Town God's Temple in Dahe City is very effective, because only this place is a few years old, and the other temples are all newly built.

Li Yi got out of the car with a cane, and walked into the temple unhurriedly. There are more than a dozen steps at the entrance of the poor temple, but they are paved with old bluestone slabs. An old man wearing sunglasses came over and said, "You still know to come?"

Li Yi was taken aback.

Speaking of which, I have been a ghost messenger for several days. To put it bluntly, I can be regarded as a non-staff of the underworld, and the City God is my immediate boss, but I have never come to pay homage to the leader since I took office.

"I just remembered to worship God because of a car accident? What did you do?" The old man in the sunglasses had an inscrutable expression on his face, "Let me tell you, your problem is very serious. You can't just burn incense. Come on, sit down and I'll give it to you." Do the math..."

"Compare your mother!" Li Yi raised his crutches and poked the old man's chest. The old man lost his balance and fell to the ground, losing his sunglasses.

"You, hurry up and hit someone!" The old man sat on the ground and couldn't get up, obviously planning to change his career.

"It's not so easy to be a liar! If you don't know how to read faces, don't come out and shame yourself!"

Li Yi dropped his words and walked away. The old man still wanted to pester him, but Song Yang said with a smile: "If you want to cheat people, you have to keep your eyes open. You still want to tell him a fortune? Did you see that car? That's what he gave People make money from divination, one divination, a BMW!"

The old man was dumbfounded, but Song Yang had overwhelmed his faux pas, chasing Li Yi into the temple gate.

The Town God's Temple is actually not very big. The two courtyards you enter, the main hall facing the gate is the City God God, and the side halls on the left and right are enshrined with bull-headed horse noodles, black and white impermanence, and judges, Yasha, Zhong Kui, Meng Po, etc.

It was already evening, and there were still some pilgrims lingering in the temple. Li Yi bought an incense watch and burned it in the yard, and then went to bow to the City God, but the City God did not appear to comfort his little subordinate.

Then he went to pay homage to Black and White Wuchang, and called Dean Bai and Jin Youyuan by name, but they still didn't show up.

It seems that this Town God's Temple is actually prepared for the living, and they probably have another office, maybe they will come to work on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year to collect incense?But at least there's no one here now.

Li Yi relaxed and walked around, thinking that the land master probably wouldn't come here to steal incense, and he just took it as a visit to the workplace.

Song Yang followed Li Yi for a whole afternoon. After visiting several temples, he was already tired of looking at all kinds of clay statues. Regardless of Li Yi's enthusiasm, he sat down under the big cypress tree at the door and did not leave.

Li Yi moved from the front yard to the back yard unhurriedly. There is also a main hall and several side halls in the back yard, but the side halls are where Taoists live, and the door to the main hall is locked. Li Yi looked through the window I took a second look, but found that there was nothing inside. I thought it was to replace the statue, so I cleaned it up for the time being?
Li Yi turned to go back, but didn't want to see Dean Bai when he turned his head.

"Why did you come here? Just in time, before going to work, I'll take you to meet the leader." Dean Bai pulled Li Yi away involuntarily, but pushed the door open and entered the hall.

Li Yi was still wondering which door was locked, but when he looked up again, he saw that the hall was empty?A long-bearded man was sitting behind the clearly placed divine table. Looking at his attire, he was somewhat similar to the City God in the front hall, but his posture was not so majestic, and he smiled kindly.

"Li Yi, why don't you kneel down when you see me?" City God said with a smile.

"I wanted to kowtow to you, but I can't bend my leg." Li Yi smiled wryly and patted the cast on his leg.

"How can this be done?" The City God smiled, "Come on, this is the continuation panacea refined by the Medicine King, I reward you to try it."

As the City God said, he waved his hand, and a fluorescent pill flew towards Li Yi. Li Yi raised his hand to pick it up, but the elixir suddenly turned around. Li Yi opened his mouth in surprise, and the elixir Dan swished again, and got into Li Yi's mouth directly.

For a moment, I just felt a warmth and coolness slide down my throat, and then diffuse from my chest and abdomen, which was indescribably refreshing.

"When you get back to your real body and smash this shit, your leg will be fine." The City God smiled and pointed to the plaster cast on Li Yi's leg.

"Thank you City God, I will kowtow to you next time." Li Yile said.

"Hehe, kowtowing or something is not important. Since you are a ghost messenger, you have to do more serious work. Well, isn't that a popular saying among you living people now? Talk about your performance!" The City God said with a smile.

"Oh, I came this time to catch monsters..." Li Yi said hastily.

"You don't need to report to me for the specific work." Lord Chenghuang said with a smile.

"Then what, the situation this time is a bit troublesome, because the troublemaker is a land master..." Li Yi said.

"Is there such a thing?" City God said, picking up a tablet computer from the divine table.

Li Yi blinked, blinked again, and the City God smiled and said, "What? It's strange that our underworld also has high-tech products?"

Is it strange?It is false to say that it is not surprising, but it is normal when you think about it, ghosts are transformed by humans, and it is not unusual for things from the human world to appear in the underworld.

"Oh, I found it," Lord Chenghuang said suddenly, "The land in Liujiazhuang, Dongqu Township, Shangdong County, the dharma body was stolen and sold by tomb robbers as antiques... Well, in this case, he does have the right to punish those related personnel, but to kill people It's true that your life is over. Bai Wuchang, take care of this matter."

"Impermanence takes orders." Dean Bai responded.

"Okay, get ready for work, you can take him back." City God said.

Dean Bai pulled Li Yi out of the hall, closed the door again and said, "Later, you go to Zhanghuangzhai Village on Wen'an Road, where there is a sorceress who will open the door for fortune-telling, and that weasel spirit will hide there."

After Dean Bai finished speaking, he pushed Li Yi, and Li Yi couldn't help but staggered a bit before standing still, only to find that he was still standing under the window of the main hall, and the door of the main hall was still locked.
