Liao Zhai's Refining God

Chapter 67
"Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. This beast is so pitiful and cute. I feel pity for it. How can I just watch it being killed and killed. Brother Lu, you are welcome. As long as you can take good care of her, when the time comes Freeing lives in the mountains and forests is also considered a merit." Wang Lin said.

"Then, on behalf of this little beast, I would like to thank Brother Wang for saving his life!" Lu Ziting bowed deeply.

"Brother Lu is being polite, let's hurry up!" Wang Lin said.

Immediately, the two of them followed the official road to Jinhua Fucheng.At this time, Wang Lin carefully inquired about this ferry. This place is much more prosperous than Qingjiang Ferry. When you get off the boat, you will find a larger wharf. There are many passenger ships and cargo ships passing by. You can even see tall buildings coming in and out from a distance. The disembarkation point for Wang Lin and others is at a corner of the pier, where the smaller awning boats are exclusively parked.

The wharf is bustling with people, and there are many vendors setting up stalls along the road, with various local specialties, mountain game, etc., like a larger market.Not far from the pier, Wang Lin saw a temple. The temple was not big, only the size of a house, with bluestone and blue tiles, and built in a square shape.There is a horizontal plaque in front of the temple, which says "Qingjiang Water God Temple".

And in front of the water temple, there are actually many hawkers setting up stalls, and there is one hawker who specializes in selling incense.

"Brother Lu, wait a moment, I'll go in and offer incense sticks." Wang Lin said to Lu Ziting, bought three sticks of incense for a penny at the hawker stall in front of the Water God Temple, and walked into the Water God Temple to have a look. There was a thick layer of hay on the ground, which extended to the back of the statue, and there were four or five beggars lying on it. The statue was also covered in dust. There seemed to be incense ash in the incense burner in front of the statue, but it had been put on the ground many days ago.There are various signs that the incense of the water god is not strong.

Wang Lin took a look at the portrait, her demeanor was somewhat similar to that of the Qingjiang water god, she nodded slightly, it seemed that it was the god.Wang Lin took out the fire twister, lit three sticks of incense, and at the same time secretly poured a ray of yin-attributed soul power into it, as a repayment of his love for giving carp along the way.

After all, Wang Lin knew very well that good karma must be maintained, because his grandfather in his previous life often taught him that in dealing with others, he must make others feel comfortable and know how to be a human being, so that he can get along well.

"Thank you, little friend!" When he turned to leave the water temple, a sentence from the statue penetrated into the soul.

Wang Lin smiled slightly, but didn't say much.From the beginning to the end, Lu Ziting was watching at the entrance of the temple, and didn't say much.In the wharf market, Lu Ziting bought more than a dozen steamed buns and put them in the book basket, and Wang Lin bought steamed buns, beef and other food and put them in the book basket.After all, it was getting late, and I am afraid that it will be late at night before arriving at Jinhua Fucheng.

Walking out of the pier market, Wang Lin suddenly became interested, looked at Lu Ziting and said, "Brother Lu, is it true that there is a god in this world?"

"The sage said, if you don't talk about strange powers and gods, if you believe it, you will have it, if you don't believe it, you won't have it." Lu Ziting said leisurely.

Wang Lin smiled slightly. This is probably the opinion of most scholars. They don't really believe that there are gods and ghosts in this world. Most ordinary people believe in gods, but a small number of them are skeptical.Lu Ziting's answer in this way is already giving Wang Lin a lot of face.

Now, Wang Lin can roughly understand some things. The laws of the gods in the upper realm are strict, and the gods are not allowed to interfere with the lives of mortals. Ghosts do not interfere with ordinary people, so gods and ghosts rarely appear in the world.

Especially for scholars, the sages wrote books and preached the idea that man will conquer nature, heaven will be healthy, and a gentleman should strive for self-improvement.In this way, they will not believe in ghosts and gods.

However, how long this rule can last now, Wang Lin does not know, such as his ancestor Wang Jikang, such as the Qingjiang water god Meng Yuxuan and other low-level gods, are all selected from scholars, they can still abide by the rules and obey the law, even If you don't get too much incense power, you won't interfere with the lives of mortals, but if those gods have evil thoughts, in order to get more incense power without the constraints of the law, can they not interfere with the lives of mortals?

If these gods were stolen by some ghosts, like that general in Qingsang Mountain, it's hard to say whether he would harm the mortals in his own region.Moreover, it is hard to say how long a low-level god like my ancestor can abide by such laws.

"Brother Lu, maybe there really is a god in this world!" The sky was completely dark, and when she came to the official road with few people, Wang Lin suddenly smiled slightly.

Lu Ziting was stunned for a moment, then gently put down the bamboo basket in his hand, bowed to Wang Lin and said, "I've been taught!"

Wang Lin was slightly taken aback. She thought that Lu Ziting would argue with her, but she didn't expect him to thank him so sincerely, which showed that he couldn't help but have no doubts. Instead, he thanked Wang Lin for telling him the doubts that had been lingering in his heart for a long time. , I don't know what I don't know, such an attitude towards learning is convincing.

In fact, Lu Ziting is not stupid. Along the way, the Qingjiang red carp jumped onto the boat and jumped to Wang Lin's feet every time. If it happened once or twice, it must be a miracle. .Although he still had doubts in his heart, there was no reasonable explanation for this matter. He could only be half-believing and would not refute Wang Lin.

"Brother Wang, let's just leave here!" The sky was full of stars, and the two of them walked about ten miles away from the pier. A small fork appeared on the side of the road. At the intersection stood a huge black stone, which was already very vaguely visible. Lu Ziting looked at the boulder, and then said to Wang Lin.

"Brother Lu, it will take another seven or eight miles to reach Jinhua Mansion City. Why do you want to break up here? Are there any relatives of your family who can stay here?" Wang Lin was stunned.

"Brother Wang, to tell you the truth, every time the government exam, the restaurants in Jinhua Mansion are full, and the worst guest room costs ten cents a night. There is still half a month before the exam, so accommodation is the next best thing, plus meals. A lot of expenses, I'm short of money, I can only stay for one night before the exam to prepare for the government exam.

I have already inquired about it before I came here. It is a small mountain to walk up from here. There is a temple in the valley called Jingshan Temple. Whenever the exam starts, the temple master will let the students who take the exam stay for free, and it is not far from Fucheng. Tomorrow morning It's not too late to learn how to hand over the paperwork in Zhengfu Yamen.Moreover, the place is clean, and there is still half a month left, which is just right for me to study quietly. "Lu Ziting said bluntly.

"Brother Lu, it's your fault. Why don't you let me go to such a good place. Let's go, go together, go together." Wang Lin said with a cheerful smile.

"Okay! Let's go together." Lu Ziting immediately said happily.He really likes to be with Wang Lin, after all, not to mention having a partner, the main reason is that they have similar temperaments.

Although Jinhua Mansion and Guobei County are not far apart, the scenery is already different. In this season, most of the trees on the mountain have no fallen leaves. Come in, fortunately Lu Ziting had already prepared, there was a very small lantern in the book basket, Wang Lin took the bamboo basket in his hand, he lit it and held the lamp to illuminate the road ahead, he didn't know the way , can only move forward along the rugged path.

In fact, with Wang Lin's cultivation, there is no need for lighting at all. Even without using the Qi Watching Technique, she can still see clearly within [-] meters, and within [-] meters, even the smallest details are visible, so Wang Lin didn't prepare a lantern.

"Squeak!" Walking forward, the little fox in the bamboo basket suddenly yelled uncomfortably, and kept grabbing the bamboo basket with its paws.

Wang Lin was running the qi-watching skill to wait and see, suddenly startled, then patted the bamboo basket lightly and said, "Be safe and don't be impatient."
