This Liao Zhai is not right

Su Su's mind suddenly lit up and he quickly realized who the woman in white was.

There is a folk legend that when Sun Simiao, the Zhenren Miaoying in the early Tang Dynasty, was in seclusion in Mount Zhongnan, there was a severe drought in Guanzhong and the people in the court were in panic. At that time, a monk from the Western Regions claimed that the drought was caused by the dereliction of duty of the Dragon King of Kunming Lake, and he wanted to set up an altar in Kunming Lake to negotiate with the Dragon King for rain. All the officials in the court were so anxious that they agreed to the monk's request.

The monks from the Western Regions had people prepare incense and lamps, set up an altar, and performed a spell to pray for rain in public. However, not only did not a drop of rain come, but the water level in Kunming Lake continued to drop. The monks from the Western Regions then pointed the finger at the Dragon King of Kunming Lake, saying that he would cause a three-year drought in Guanzhong. The result was predictable. Under the instigation of the monks from the Western Regions, the crowd was indignant and hoped that the court would issue an order to behead the Dragon King of Kunming Lake.

Being forced into a corner, the Dragon King of Kunming Lake had to beg Sun Simiao, who was living in seclusion in Mount Zhongnan, for the rescue. Although Sun Simiao agreed to help, the price was very high. Taking advantage of the situation, Lion's Mouth extorted thirty immortal prescriptions from the Dragon King of Kunming Lake. He hid them in two books, "Qian Jin Yao Fang" and "Qian Jin Yi Fang", and spread them throughout the world. He became famous and became a well-known immortal.

The feud was thus formed.

"Could it be that your father is..."

Su Su was about to ask.

Then the woman surnamed Sun, who went by the pseudonym Qingdai, said, "My father is in trouble. Don't say too much. If you say anything, something bad will happen."

This was considered as tacit approval of Su Su's guess.

Sun Simiao has been highly respected since the Song Dynasty. He was named Miaoying Zhenren and a temple was built to worship him. Today, he is even named Medicine King by the imperial court and is added as a local deity.

As the daughter of the King of Medicine, she is naturally a deity.

It has to be said that the old Dragon King of Kunming Lake was really patient. He held a grudge for hundreds of years and finally waited until Sun Simiao met with a disaster before he took action to avenge his old grudge.

As we were talking, Lijin County was already in sight.

The city gate was wide open and there was no one guarding it. Inside the gate, firecrackers were blasting. Children in red and green were walking around. Adults stood on both sides of the road, saying auspicious words from time to time, as if they were celebrating some happy event.

"It's quite lively ahead, let's go take a look."

There is a merchant wharf in the east of Lijin County, with a constant stream of small vendors along the way selling all kinds of food and sundries.

After walking into the city and asking around, Su Su and the other two quickly figured out why the city was so bustling.

It turned out that there was an 82-year-old man named Jin Yongnian in the city. He was so old that he could hardly stand up, but he had no descendants to take care of him in his old age. His wife was also 78 years old. She thought that there would be no one to mourn for him in this life. However, he did not expect that a god suddenly appeared in his dream last year and told him that he was supposed to have no descendants, but because he was fair in doing business, he was given a son.

At that time, Jin Yongnian and his wife did not believe it, but not long after, his wife felt a vibration in her abdomen and was pregnant. After ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to a big fat boy today.

The people in Lijin City all believed that Jin Yongnian and his wife had performed miracles, and they all came to share in the good news. The county magistrate had already sent people to Shuntian Prefecture to report to the court about the auspicious sign in Lijin County.

"An octogenarian giving birth to a child is truly a miracle in this world." Su Su couldn't help but sigh.

The woman surnamed Sun, who used the alias Qingdai, said in a tone that was not uncommon: "It's another deity who has entered the cycle of reincarnation and reincarnated to avoid disasters and eliminate calamities. You can go to the City God Temple on East Street in the city to see it. If the Lijin City God is not here, the auspicious sign of this octogenarian being born is most likely him."

The City God of Lijin County ran away?

Su Fu keenly perceived the key information in the words of the woman surnamed Sun.

Immediately, he was secretly delighted and couldn't help thinking: "It's the incense and wishes that have been delivered to my door, so I'll take advantage of it first."

Chapter 69 A Complaint

The City God Temple of Lijin County is located on the East Street in the city. Scattered around it are buildings such as the Guandi Temple, the Confucian Temple, the Wenchang Pavilion, and the Dongjin Academy.

After a quick walk around, I found that the Guandi Temple was filled with incense. The main deity enshrined was Guandi, who was dressed in a green robe. On the left stood a pale-faced scholar, who was the eldest son Guan Ping. On the right stood a guard with a thick rib and curly beard, holding a Green Dragon Crescent Blade in both hands, who was Zhou Cang.

The statue of Guandi has a face as red as a date, lips as red as rouge, phoenix eyes, and drooping brows. There is a divine light three feet above the head, and he is majestic and awe-inspiring, with no sign of anger.

Although it has magical powers, it has no intelligence. It can barely be considered an incarnation that can rely on passive reactions to eliminate evil spirits.

Su Su had learned from Chang'e earlier that Guan Yu was still busy fighting against the remaining soul of Chi You, and it was already a great achievement for him to leave a clone in the Guandi Temple in Lijin City to protect the area.

It is thought that since Lizhen is not far from Shuntian Prefecture, after being attacked by the invading barbarians, there were no large number of demons and monsters appearing to harm people like in Guobei County. This is the reason.

When passing by the Confucian Temple, Su Su saw a few rays of golden light from afar and thought that there were gods sitting in the temple.

When I walked in and took a look, I found that the handwriting on the tablet of the Great Sage enshrined in the temple was thick and powerful, with all the strength and structure, and it was entangled with a few strands of golden light that came from nowhere and was shining brightly.

"This is a piece of calligraphy left by a person who is well-versed in knowledge, has confidence and studies hard, is focused on his studies, and is upright and incorruptible. The upright spirit can be seen through the paper, and the spirit of vigor and vitality is contained in it. These few words alone are enough to ward off evil and disasters." The woman surnamed Sun gave a brief introduction.

This is true.

If a righteous person encounters a ghost while walking on the road at night, a simple scolding can make the ordinary ghost retreat, let alone a well-educated person who can infuse the spirit and charm into his writing.

"The City God Temple of Lijin is in front."

Not far from the Confucian Temple, the City God Temple of Lijin County appears in the corner of East Street. The statues there are dim and the incense is sparse, making it even inferior to the City God Temple of Guobei County.

Walking up the steps and entering the main gate, some older temple keepers were drowsy in their chairs, but as soon as they saw Su Su and the other two, their half-closed eyes immediately opened.

He stood up and asked in a low voice, "Three gentlemen, are you here to burn incense at the City God Temple?"

"Just take a look." Su Su replied.

Hearing that Su Su and the other two had no intention of adding oil to the incense, the temple keeper was greatly disappointed. His previous enthusiasm was gone, but he still cheered up a little and said, "The three gentlemen can go through without any worries, but please be careful not to disturb the gods."

After explaining a few things that needed attention, the temple keeper sat back in his chair and continued to drowsily remain.

The City God Temple in Lizhen is not big, with only two rooms. The main hall enshrines the statue of the City God, and on the left and right are the civil and military judges. You can have a panoramic view of the entire City God Temple without having to move around.

Su Su raised his head slightly and glanced at the several statues enshrined in the temple. There was no divine light on them. It was obvious that the City God of Lijin County, who was supposed to be sitting in the City God Temple, had run away at some point.

Just as Su Su looked up at the statue in the temple, a gust of cold wind blew by without warning, and the sleepy temple keeper sitting on the chair fell asleep due to the wind.

Afterwards, the civil and military judges and three or five ghostly yamen runners with illusory and floating figures appeared in the temple, bringing with them gusts of extremely weak and cold wind.

"Greetings, God!"

Many ghostly yamen runners and civil and military judges in the City God Temple came forward and knelt down in front of Su Su.

Judge Wen, who had a white face and no beard and looked like a young scholar, kowtowed and said, "I would like to expose Song Changshan, the City God of Lijin County, for abandoning his duties without permission and ignoring his divine responsibility. Last year, the barbarians from outside the Great Wall invaded and plundered, and when they arrived outside Lijin City, we helped to defend the city and clear the fields. However, Song Changshan was intimidated by the shamans in the barbarian army outside the city, and fearing that his soul would be scattered, he abandoned his duties as the City God and reincarnated to avoid disaster. Since then, the divine way in Lijin has been abandoned, and we have become increasingly weak and will soon cease to exist. If it were not for the saints guarding us, a disaster would have occurred."

Say it.

Judge Wen, who looked like a young scholar, tremblingly held up a piece of white paper, which was covered with handwriting, all of which were evidence of the crimes committed by Song Changshan, the City God of Lijin County.

"Now the underworld is in chaos and the channels for speech are blocked. Please, venerable god, submit a petition to the underworld and ask Yama to make the decision and seek justice for us."

It turned out that the City God of Lijin County was frightened and reincarnated when the barbarians from outside the Great Wall invaded and plundered last year. Calculating the time, it coincides with the time when Jin Yongnian in the city mentioned that his wife became pregnant after the god appeared in her dream.

This is more than just abandoning one's post and ignoring God's responsibility.

It is clearly desertion from the battlefield and he should be executed according to the law.

As a result, the underworld was in chaos at the moment, and the City God of Lijin County escaped from the battlefield. He escaped through reincarnation and not only did he not get into any trouble, but he was also born safely today.

Such insects deserve to die even more than Li Dingyuan, the former city god of Guobei County.

"First, the ghost messenger seduced Wang Lan's soul by mistake, and then encountered the city god who fled in the face of danger. It seems that the territory of Lijin County is only peaceful on the surface, but in fact it is also in chaos secretly."

After thinking for a while, Su Su originally planned to go to the underworld, and it was not difficult to help the civil and military judges in Lijin City God Temple to submit the lawsuit.

So he took the petition that Judge Wen held in his trembling hands and said, "I agree to this."

Then he changed the subject: "But I have something to do in Lijin this time, so I'm afraid I can't go to hell for a while."

Judge Wen easily understood the hidden meaning behind Su Su's words.

He bowed again and said, "Thank you very much for rescuing us. If you can use us in any way, please let us know."

Seeing that Judge Wen from Lijin was so sensible, Su Su couldn't help but sigh that it was easy to deal with smart people.

"Wang Lan of Lijin died of a sudden illness more than ten days ago, but his life span is not over yet. The purpose of my coming here is to bring his soul back to life, but I don't know where his body is buried, so I need you to find it."

Although he could release the black-faced ghost messenger at night and let him lead the way to find Wang Lan's body, Su Su certainly didn't want to delay any longer so that he could drive the civil and military judges and the ghost runners in the Lijin City God Temple to settle the matter early.

As soon as he thought of this, several complete portions of the divine power to exorcise evil spirits were bestowed upon the civil and military judges and three or five other ghostly yamen runners.

A ray of divine light entered the body, and the illusory and floating ghost body suddenly solidified.

"I am willing to serve the Lord as a dog or horse."

Gusts of cold wind stirred the air, and the civil and military judges as well as the ghost runners in the City God Temple immediately set out to search for the place where Wang Lan's body was buried.

As the cold wind gradually dissipated, the temple priest who had fallen into a coma slowly woke up.

After watching Su Su and the other two leave, he turned his head to look at the several statues in the City God Temple. He was shocked to see that except for the City God statue which was still dim, the statues of the civil and military judges had become somewhat lustrous.

The temple keeper was puzzled and muttered to himself, "This is really strange. I just took a nap for a while. Can those three gentlemen really paint a new layer of paint on the statue of the civil and military judges?"

Chapter 70 Retreating to Advance

"You don't want the gentle, charming, well-educated and well-mannered ones, nor do you want the gentle, virtuous, thrifty and housekeeping ones. Which one do you like, you vixen?" After leaving Lijin City God Temple, seeing that the woman surnamed Sun was not paying attention to them, Chang'e quietly walked to Su Su's side and asked in an ambiguous voice.

Su Su was wondering why the cloth in his sight had no effect in the City God Temple, and he couldn't find the seal of the City God of Lijin County after searching the entire City God Temple. He secretly guessed that this was probably related to the fact that Lijin City God Song Changshan made an octogenarian woman pregnant and give birth to a child.

She was caught off guard and felt Chang'e's hot breath next to her ear, which stimulated her so much that she couldn't help but shiver.

He turned his head away, completely confused, and asked, "What do you mean, which one do I like?"

"fine."

After staring at Su Fu's slightly puzzled eyes for a few seconds, Chang'e shook her head slightly.

However, Su Fu did not give up and continued to ask, "Why do you always make a fuss about the beautiful women you meet by chance, and want me to take you as a concubine?"

When she first met Nie Xiaoqian in Lanruo Temple, she thought that Chang'e was joking when she mentioned the matter of taking a concubine. However, when she ran into a woman named Sun who wanted to give herself to someone else to escape disaster in Yishui, she felt something was wrong when Chang'e mentioned the matter of taking a concubine again.

The marriage contract has not yet been fulfilled, but he is busy looking for a concubine.

Obviously unreasonable.

"You wouldn't..." Su Fu hesitated to speak, but his gradually narrowing eyes were enough to show the shock in his heart.

"Snapped!"

Before Su Su could continue, he was suddenly slapped from behind.

"The dirty things in my mind are really unbearable to look at."

Chang'e sighed softly, her cold face revealing some unspeakable meanings, and she murmured in a complaining manner: "I have teased you, a foxy girl, many times but you refused to give in. You must look down on me. I guess fulfilling the engagement is just an excuse. But how can I go back on my parents' orders? As the eldest wife in the family, I must find you a few beautiful concubines to fill your room, so as to avoid a divorce in the future."

"Ah this."

The amount of information in Chang'e's words was so huge that Su Su's brain was a little confused.

"I don't mean to look down on you, but isn't it a bit too fast? We've only known each other for less than half a month."

"Since ancient times, marriages have always been decided by parents and matchmakers. Most of the time, the couple will be engaged after examining each other's character and then married. It is normal for the couple to have never met each other. If you want to find an excuse, you can always make one."

Su Su was speechless for a moment: "Of course I know, but..."

"Just what?"

As the voice reached his ears, Su Su's thoughts moved, and his brain immediately woke up. He stared at Chang'e, frowned and said, "When you were in the City God Temple in Guobei County, you said that you were banished to the mortal world, and you would be able to awaken to your past life and return to the Moon Palace after your term expired. But now you have awakened to your past life, so you are leaving?"

"I can't hide it from you, a seductress like you. I have to return to the Moon Palace eventually, so I need someone to keep an eye on you to prevent you from flirting with other women."

After saying this, she actually covered her face and sobbed, "You look down on me anyway, so isn't it what you want for me to leave like this?"

"How ridiculous! I've let you kiss me, touch my body, and take advantage of me, yet you actually want to run back to the Moon Palace and walk away. There's no such thing as a good thing in this world."

Anger and shame surged into his heart, Su Su clenched his fists, extremely angry.

"Then when do you say you want to get married? There has to be a deadline. How long will it take to wait in vain?" Chang'e pressed relentlessly.

Su Su had already planned his revenge, but the other party wanted to run away. How could someone who was desperate to lose let go easily? He would only put more chips on the table in an attempt to turn the tables.

Overwhelmed by shame and anger, he didn't think much and blurted out, "Whenever you say, it's time."

broken.

Fell into a trap.

The moment this sentence came out of her mouth, Su Shu realized belatedly that Chang'e had predicted her prediction, set a trap in advance, and used a strategy of retreat in order to advance.

Everything that happened before was an illusion, and the real purpose was nothing more than to let himself give up the initiative of the marriage contract to someone else.

"No, that doesn't count." Su Su quickly regretted.

"A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand gold, so there is no reason to go back on it."

Chang'e seemed to be enjoying the battle of wits and courage with Su Fu very much, and a smile of success appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Su was ready to overturn the table and quit: "I am not a gentleman, I am just a vixen."

"If I don't intend to keep my promise, then I don't need to be bound by the marriage contract. I will do it tonight without waiting for you to take the initiative to submit."

The tone is eerie and creepy.

Obviously, she is not the only one who is qualified to overturn the table.

This is really scary.
