Yin Changsheng

Chapter 248 Sky Lantern Soul Sealing
This City God has always turned his back to me and refused to turn around. I was a little puzzled, did this City God take the wrong medicine today? It turned out to be so strange. When City God saw Jiang Li before, he Always submissive, because he was afraid of being beaten by Jiang Li.

But today's Lord Chenghuang always seems to be a little bit wrong.

I boldly stared at him for a long time, and couldn't help asking, "Who are you?"

If I want to be in the mood now, I can’t be as calm as before. I originally guarded the remnant soul of King Wu of Zhou, but I let him run away. He hadn't been resurrected yet, and the strength of the remnant soul and the sword soul was terrifying, not to mention that once King Wu of Zhou was resurrected, Yin Changsheng would have nothing to lose.

I blamed myself very much in my heart, but I was afraid that Jiang Li would be worried, so I had no choice but to pretend that nothing happened.

It's just that I can't bear it anymore.

Seeing my bold inquiry, the faces of the two writing ghosts beside him darkened, as if they were very surprised by my reckless behavior.

"Kneel down quickly when you see Lord Chenghuang." A ghost who was writing a book snapped.

I froze for a moment, could it be that I misremembered the appearance of the City God?Impossible, the City God is obviously a fat man.

Jiang Li originally had the same expression as mine, but after a while, Jiang Li seemed to put away his surprised expression, and his face became extremely calm.

At this moment, City God suddenly said, "You guys are so courageous, why don't you kneel down?"

I froze for a moment, this voice was not the voice of City God, but clearly the voice of Grandpa Yao!

"Grandpa Yao?" I called out softly, feeling uneasy and unbelievable. If it was Grandpa Yao, he would not be so bold as to impersonate the City God. Impersonation is a death penalty, and he will go to hell directly .

"Haha." The City God suddenly laughed cheerfully, turned around and looked at me with joy, that face was clearly that of Grandpa Yao.

Grandpa Yao was wearing a red coat and the official hat of the City God. He really had the air of a high-ranking official. No wonder he said that people rely on clothes. This is true. Grandpa Yao looked like a different person. The farmer's breath was completely gone.

Grandpa Yao said softly, "Go down first."

At this time, the two writing ghosts beside him saluted and left, and quickly walked outside.

Grandpa Yao looked at Jiang Li and me with a serious face, and suddenly a smile broke out on his face. He couldn't hide a little bit of joy, and quickly said to me, "Chen Xiao, come here, sit next to Grandpa Yao, let Grandpa take a good look at it." look at you!"

I said oh, and hurried to Grandpa Yao. Grandpa Yao stretched out his hands, held my face and looked at it carefully for a long time, squinting his eyes and smiling cheerfully, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes accumulated together, Yao Grandpa said happily, "Chen Xiao has grown up, he looks handsome, he is a handsome boy!"

I looked at Grandpa Yao in surprise, the person in front of me was clearly Grandpa Yao, how did he become a city god.

I asked Grandpa Yao in puzzlement, "What's the matter with Grandpa Yao? The entire Town God's Temple has undergone earth-shaking changes. Where is the previous Town God?"

Grandpa Yao told us that the former City God was exposed because of the joint name of various officials of the Yin Division, and his crimes were uncovered. The Yin Division could not tolerate him, so he was demoted. The woman who claimed to be the concubine of King Wu of Zhou reorganized Fengdu City, saying that she wanted to welcome King Wu of Zhou back with a new look.

First of all, she ordered that the Town God's Temples in various places be rectified. Some buildings were old and rebuilt, and she personally supervised, rejected extravagance and waste and bean curd projects, and she personally reviewed every fund flow.

Then, some unreasonable places were also given to the Temple of the City God, and overall adjustments were made.

Grandpa Yao said that he was also lucky. At that time, Princess Zhou came to Chenghuang Temple to review in person, and happened to go to the Ministry of Rites. Because Grandpa Yao was the most appropriate in the ceremony, he thought that Grandpa Yao was a talent, so he promoted Grandpa Yao to this position.

Jiang Li didn't understand either, so he asked Grandpa Yao, "You have the lowest qualifications in each department, but the people in the Criminal Department have more advantages than you."

Grandpa Yao smiled, "Maybe it's just luck, then there are more or less trivial things in other departments that don't meet the requirements, the flow of some funds is also unknown, and there are a lot of things they have hidden themselves." Very well, Princess Zhou didn’t dismiss her one by one when she arrived, she just took some punishments. Everyone basically has punishments, but I don’t have any here. Tidy up, just in time for Princess Zhou to come to inspect."

That being said, Grandpa Yao is still in luck.

Jiang Li pondered for a while, then asked Grandpa Yao, "Wangfei Zhou has managed all these things by herself, so King Wu Cheng didn't say anything?"

Grandpa Yao said, "It's interesting to say that King Wu Cheng didn't object to these things, but he didn't support them either. After Princess Zhou ordered the rectification of the Town God's Temple, King Wu of Zhou also sent ten handsome men to patrol. It must be against Princess Zhou. Don't worry, the internal strife in Fengdu City, just let them go."

I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, the princess of Zhou wanted to make something out of it this time.

Perhaps the tradition of the Yin Division has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Although it is all about some details, it has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes from the past, and it has a taste of old antiques.

Jiang Li said to Grandpa Yao in a low voice, "I came here this time mainly to let you bring out a soul."

Grandpa Yao glanced at Jiang Li, turned around and rummaged through the bookshelf behind him, there was dust everywhere coming out of it, and when I inhaled the dust through my nose, I felt very uncomfortable. I sneezed three times in a row to get better. A little bit.

After fiddling for about 10 minutes, Grandpa Yao walked to the desk with a few stacks of books, "Who do you want to find? This is the list for the past 20 years. The people here are no different from those in the city. The list is no different. Many, easy to find."

After finishing speaking, Grandpa Yao took his favorite hookah and smoked again.

Jiang Li said, "Bring me Zhang Duangong's soul out."

Grandpa Yao was stunned for a moment, and quickly said to Jiang Li, "Ten years ago, before the former City God was dismissed, Du Hai once mentioned his soul, and this time you bring it up again."

It was Du Hai again, this guy is really strange, he suppressed me in various ways, and at the same time made me take medicine to restore my adult appearance.

Thinking of this, all the bone-crushing pain before has been transferred to Wenwen, and I feel even more uncomfortable. Although she is a demon, I am really upset to let a woman bear the pain that was originally mine.

"Stinky boy, why are you so preoccupied." Grandpa Yao hit me on the head with a cigarette stick.

I came back to my senses and looked at Grandpa Yao in embarrassment.

Jiang Li didn't say much, he just pointed to the booklet on the table, signaling for Grandpa Yao to give Zhang Duangong's soul out.Grandpa Yao hesitated for a while, seeing that Jiang Li's eyes were extremely firm, he shook his head helplessly and began to look through the brochures on the table.

I couldn't help but recall that I still had Judge Lu's book of life and death before, which was in charge of life and death in the southwest region. Fengdu City tried every means to get it back before, but it seems that there is no movement now.

What happened to Judge Lu was all because of me. As long as Yin Changsheng is resurrected, I will definitely ask Yin Changsheng to be the judge of Lu.

Grandpa Yao looked through it for a while, and finally found the name of Zhang Duangong. According to the corresponding label, Grandpa Yao told us that there is a secret room in the Temple of the City God, in which all the dead souls who cannot go to hell or reincarnate are imprisoned. These are the people who once wandered between Yin and Yang.

Probably because they know too much.

After Grandpa Yao asked us to follow him to the bookstore, Jiang Li and I looked curious and walked in behind him. The shelves of the bookstore were lined up neatly. There was a wall in the innermost wall with a painting hanging on it, probably about Fengdu culture. I don't understand the picture anyway.

"Is Zhang Duangong's soul in this painting?" I looked at Grandpa Yao and asked.

Before my voice could settle down, Grandpa Yao knocked down the cigarette stick, "You are confused, didn't I just tell you, there is a secret room here, just behind this painting."

After finishing speaking, Grandpa Yao pushed the painting on the wall away, and a doorway suddenly appeared. He walked in along the doorway, and it was pitch black inside. After walking about 100 meters, a faint light suddenly shone on. At first glance, it looks like Kongming lanterns flying around in the air.

It turned out that there were no lights in the entire secret room, and the reason why there was light here was all because of the Kongming lanterns vacated all around.

"Is this a soul-inducing lamp? Kongming lantern? A soul-invoking lamp?" I said all the sky lanterns I knew.

Grandpa Yao chuckled, "These are dead souls, extract their souls and seal them in the sky lanterns. Of course, Zhang Duangong you are looking for is also among these dead souls. This is a secret in the Town God's Temple. Only Only the City God is qualified to know."

I couldn't help admiring him, since Grandpa Yao became the great-grandfather of the City God, his demeanor has really changed. He used to think he was just an ordinary farmer, but now he speaks like an official.

Grandpa Yao pointed to the booklet he just took out from the bookstore. The name of Zhang Duangong was written on the inner page of the booklet, and a number was marked beside it. Grandpa Yao told us that every soul in the book has a number, so that we can know , whether the dead soul is reincarnated, sentenced, imprisoned, or absconded.

There is also a number next to Zhang Duangong's name, corresponding to the number on each sky lantern, you can find Zhang Duangong's soul.

When Grandpa Yao spoke, his tone was full of meaning, which was a bit interesting. My Grandpa Yao was originally the most inconspicuous backup soldier in the Town God's Temple, but it was just because he was a person who worked in the underworld. Later, he was brought in by mistake. The accidental collision was valued by the princess of Zhou, and she was promoted to become the current City God.
