Chapter 129 Sensation (asking for monthly pass at the end of the month)

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the City God patrols the streets and travels to clear away the evil spirits and bless the people.

After receiving blessings, the people will all flock to the City God's Temple on this day to burn incense, pray, and make offerings to express their gratitude to the City God for his protection.

Thousands of people were crowded inside and outside the Xiangdian Hall on the south side of the City God's Temple, and even on the long street outside.

If Chen Ku paid attention, there was even an acquaintance among the thousands of people, and that was Che Wenping, who lived with him in Datongpu when he was a waiter at Yaowangtang.

Che Wenping accompanied his wife to the Chenghuang Temple today to pray for blessings and burn incense. Many people came in the early morning to burn a stick of incense. He and his wife queued up here early in the morning. Although they definitely couldn't get the first incense, they came because they couldn't get it. Early, I grabbed a front position.

But just when he and his wife were kneeling outside the entrance of the hall, burning incense and kowtowing with a group of people.

boom!

Suddenly a loud noise came from inside the hall.

"What's the noise?"

Thousands of people inside and outside the hall and on the long street suddenly raised their heads in horror and looked into the main hall.

I saw.

With a loud noise, the golden body of the City God Duan Mingbi in the Hall of Enjoyment suddenly emitted a large golden light, and then turned into a golden airflow that filled the hall and rippled out.

"The City God has appeared!!"

I don’t know who shouted first, an excited shout full of surprise and reverence.

Immediately afterwards.

Che Wenping and his old mother were also excited and exclaimed in ecstasy:

"The City God appears! Blessing! This is a manifestation of blessing!"

Although the existence of the City God is not a secret and has supernatural powers, it is rare for the people in the city to see the manifestation of the City God with their own eyes.

Unexpectedly, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year in the 154th year of the Epoch Dynasty, the City God was in a good mood and showed himself to be a golden light for the local people...

Even the temple officials in charge of today's duty in the main hall were stunned, looking at the mist rippling out of the golden body.

The middle-aged Miao Zheng named Duan could not help but murmur in a low voice:

"That's not right. Ancestor was invited to go out for a parade. How could that be?"

But just when he was puzzled.

Suddenly,

A horrified shout, like the sky falling, came from the direction of the common people and believers outside the temple:

"Ah, look, everyone, look, half of the City God's body collapsed, disappeared, melted!!"

This word woke up all the people who had just been immersed in the appearance of the city god and knelt down and kowtowed.

At this moment, everyone subconsciously raised their heads.

Even the man in the temple changed his face and quickly looked back.

I saw,

After the shock, the golden body of the City God shone brightly. At this moment, two-thirds of its body disappeared out of thin air, leaving only the hollow legs below the thighs and a weapon.

when.

Then, a leg bone actually fell from mid-air.

"Golden Body!!"

When Duan Miao saw the golden body of the City God that seemed to have been bitten off by something, with only his legs remaining, his vision went dark, and he suddenly stood unsteady on the spot, spinning around, and shouted:

"The bones of our ancestors!"

This golden body in the Xiangdian Hall was made by the descendants of the Duan family for eighty years, accumulating an unknown amount of gold and silver, and melting gold water into it.

Although it is not entirely pure gold, two-thirds of it is hollow, but the gold used for this is more than a thousand kilograms.

The reason why it is hollow is to create a solid gold body one foot high, which is simply worth the price of the sky.

The second reason is that the hollow body of the statue is a rule, leaving room for "pretending to be dirty".

Pretending to be dirty, also called hiding, is an important ritual when making statues of gods.

Designed to bring life to the idol.

This process involves equipping the statue with symbolic entrails and spiritual consciousness, and by placing symbolic items such as scriptures, inscriptions, charms, tablets, etc., to imbue the statue with divine power and protection.

Items containing dirty items include but are not limited to ritual objects, living bodies, scriptures, etc.

These items were used to absorb incense from the people. What was contained in the golden body of their City God was actually a leg bone of General Duan Mingbi.

Only in this way can the general absorb incense and condense his spirit through his own corpse, obtain "Yin Shou", and become a righteous god decreed by the imperial court, possessing supernatural powers.

This moment.

Duan Miao was spinning, and his eyesight turned black.

The believers and common people were even more frightened.

The golden body of the City God was suddenly bitten off by a mysterious force. Two-thirds of its body was bitten off, and the dirty things in the statue also fell out.

No matter how you look at it, this is not a manifestation of the city god.

Instead it's like...

The demon has invaded the City God's Temple! !

But it was at this time.

"Something! Something flew away from the golden body!!"

The guards from the Chenghuang Temple in the main hall shouted:

"Quick, grab it, the transformation of the golden body must be related to this thing!"

Almost as soon as Chen Ku's golden body was swallowed by the transformation diagram, he fluttered his wings and flew away. He didn't even have time to pick up the fallen leg bones.

He guessed it.

That leg bone is probably another cultivation condition perceived by the transformation map.

The carrier that contains "a pound of incense".

Can,

The change diagram also reminds that this object needs to be refined before it can be sacrificed.

And this object is a leg bone. If you make a casual guess, you can think that it is something related to the City God Duan Mingbi. He can't guarantee whether the City God will find it through some method after taking this object...

So he swallowed the golden body first and ran away.

I will find another opportunity to plot this incense in the future.

now,

The temple owner also saw a little monster with wings under its ribs amidst the loud noises of the crowd. It was no bigger than a palm and had already flown out of the hall.

He didn't have time to think about how much this little monster had to do with the golden body being swallowed, so he yelled almost instinctively:

"Get the beast!"

In an instant, the entire City God's Temple rang with rapid bells. Experts rushed out from several halls, and there were even people holding bows, shooting arrows into the sky.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Chen Ku dodged more than a dozen arrows in a row, and he could fully feel that the archers in the Chenghuang Temple were not bad, and some of them were even in the Xuan Guan realm.

It's a pity that they neither have the unique skills of archery like Coach Chai, nor the strong bones and golden eyesight of Chen Ku.

If an ordinary Xuan Guan realm archer were to shoot geese or pheasants in the air, they might be able to catch them, but the flower fox and marten that Chen Ku conjured up was a second-level demon. Even if he dodged around, he couldn't even hit him with an arrow.

Then, as Chen Ku's wings vibrated, he flew higher and higher, but he couldn't shoot that high.

Chen Ku felt the arrows below threaten to disappear.

Don't dare to stay.

"Slip away."

Immediately flew towards the outside of the city.

And that was the moment when Chen Ku used the transformation diagram in the Hall of Enjoyment to swallow most of the golden body of the city god Duan Mingbi, causing the incense contained in his internal organs to rest on his leg bones and fall off.

Inner city, on North Street.

The wandering team is about to finish.

The eight-carriage-carriage shrine suddenly exploded, turning into sawdust and flying, revealing a small statue in the shrine that was no more than two feet tall. It was the miniature statue of the City God Duan Mingbi in the City God's Temple.

Instantly.

The statue of the god was exposed to the air, and the whole street began to fly with sand and stones, and dust and mist began to rise everywhere.

The people were shocked.

The envoys from the temple who were carrying the shrine across the border were even more shocked.

Especially the old man with the "asking for directions" on his head, his face turned pale. In the next moment, he suddenly lost the whites of his eyes, and suddenly had an epilepsy on the spot, and his head was shaking...

After a few breaths, his face became even paler, but he regained his senses, and then shouted:

"Go to the county office quickly."

Half an hour later.

The Youshen team arrived at the county government office and directly entered the backyard of the county government office.

Shangguan Yun was in the house, wearing a white robe without official uniform, and suddenly frowned:

"Duan Chenghuang? Why did you break into the official residence in such a big way?"

As he spoke, he looked at the location of the incense burner in the room.

I saw that in the curl of incense above the incense burner, the outline of a two-foot-sized general condensed, but it was furious:

"Something stole my golden body in public in public and broke my general's incense bones. Shangguan Yun, as the magistrate of Baojiao County, I order you to find out the truth quickly."

"Huh? You order me?"

Shangguan Yun stood there with his hands behind his back and said calmly:

"You are so courageous. You are just a Yin God granted by the imperial court. How dare you speak to me like this? Do you really think that your ninth-grade county baron has the title of Yangjian? Or do you think that I am the one who took office six years ago? A mediocre magistrate?”

One word fell.

Then he saw Shangguan Yun's eyes moving like whirlpools, with an intimidating edge and pressure.

But what General Erchi who stood on the incense burner saw in his eyes was not only the spiritual aura in Shangguan Yun's eyes, but also the fate of the country in Shangguan Yun's body as a seventh-grade county magistrate.

The City God is a heroic soul who is granted a title by the imperial court after his death. Everything is given by the imperial court. In other words, he is also a 'official of the great era'.

In terms of rank, he, the County God, also has the seventh rank, and he also has the County Baron.

If he meets an ordinary county magistrate, he can not only intimidate him with his divine power, but also suppress him with his rank.

But Shangguan Yun is different. Not only does this person have the secret ability of martial arts spirit, but he also never takes a dark spirit like him in his eyes, so...

After a violent intimidation, not only was it of no use, but Shangguan Yun was suppressed and staggered back by using his spiritual martial arts skills and the invisible official power and luck.

This invisible official authority of the national destiny is of little use to those who practice martial arts, but it is naturally restrained by the city god who was born from the national destiny.

Duan Mingbi couldn't help but his voice became darker:

"Shangguan County Magistrate, aren't you prepared to take care of it? Our City God's Temple is entrusted by the imperial court, and it is also the imperial palace's yamen. If someone steals my golden body, it is equivalent to stealing the plaque in the lobby of your county yamen. You don't care? The imperial court is so majestic. Where?"

"It concerns the dignity of the imperial court. I will not ignore it. City God, please return to the temple first. I will send someone to investigate clearly."

Shangguan Yun closed his eyes and said.

"Then I, the City God, will wait for news from the county magistrate!"

Wait until the smoke from the stove has dissipated.

There was something strange in Shangguan Yun's eyes:

"Stealing a golden body in front of everyone? Who has such ability?"

Of course he couldn't ignore this matter, so he immediately sent Wang Yixian, the "Magic Sword Catcher King" who was the leader of the third class in the county, to lead people to investigate.

Less than half a day.

The news that the golden statue of the City God's Temple was stolen has spread throughout the streets and alleys of the city.

There was a sensation.

Especially when thousands of people witnessed the scene.

As a result, all opinions were spread.

There is a saying, "It was the City God who had to pay filial piety every year and donate deeds every year. This angered Tianwei, and God directly accepted his golden body"...

This statement must have been deliberately spread by people who did not want to donate more deeds to the City God Temple and influence the public sentiment.

Another said, "It was Kong Kong'er, a thief from Qiulong Mansion, who came to Baojiao County and stole the golden body in public."

Regarding this statement, there are rumors that there are noses and eyes.

He also said that before Nakong Konger stole the golden body, he actually left a note to the Chenghuang Temple, saying that he would come to pick up the golden body at noon on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Then everyone in the Chenghuang Temple was prepared in advance, and even thousands of people gathered around it, but the "Kong Kong'er" succeeded.

People were shocked when they heard this...

Kong Kong'er is indeed the number one thief in the Qiu Long Mansion, and he can actually do such incredible things.

but,

In fact, the most widely spread theory is a fact witnessed by many people.

That is,

There was a little monster that looked like a mouse, white, with small wings. At the same time as the golden body disappeared, it flew out of the hall.

Many people have seen this with their own eyes.

Someone directly gave the little strange beast a name, calling it the "Two-Winged Gold-Swallowing Beast." Some people even didn't just find out its habits from somewhere, but made them up themselves, saying that it was this "Two-Winged Gold-Swallowing Beast." , has wings under its ribs, looks like a white rat, and specializes in eating gold. It is a rare demon... It is said that the feces pulled out will turn gold into fine gold..."

For a time, there were many people who believed it to be true.

The entire Baojiao County was also in a state of shock.

As for Chen Ku.

He turned around early and went outside the city. After changing his clothes, he quietly returned to the city.

Arrived in the city.

Hearing the consequences and rumors of all the things he caused.

I can't help but feel relieved.

Sure enough, no one would have thought that they would do this by themselves.

He was also a little curious about those outrageous rumors. How were they made up?

He actually named his flower fox and marten the ‘two-winged gold-swallowing beast’, and even said that he eats gold to extract pure gold...

but.

The more outrageous these rumors are, the safer he is.

most,

It would be better if everything was really tied to that great thief "Kong Kong'er".

Chen Ku returned home cautiously.

I stepped on another pile of cow dung on the road. I think it was because the city god didn't kill him and the bad luck continued...

However, considering that he had been unlucky for three days and exchanged the other party for 10,000 taels of gold, this transaction was not considered a loss.

that's all.

I have been careful to stay at home and not go out.

On the second day.

The sixth day of the lunar month,

It’s time for Yaowangtang to start construction.

Chen Ku felt that it was best for him to stay at home for two more days and wait for the bad luck to pass before returning to work. At the same time, he could also wait and see the situation at the Chenghuang Temple at home.

In this way, I stayed at home until the eighth day of the lunar month.

Chen Ku is not ready to go to work yet.

But one thing was delivered to the door first.

"Shopkeeper Chen, this is the 20,000 kilograms of iron mother that Mr. Xie from our Chai Iron Shop lost to you years ago. Now it has been delivered. Please sign for it."

Chen Ku was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, it was Xie Qingfeng’s iron mother who sent it.

Now, not to mention that the weapon can be heavier again, the most important thing is...

The fourth change picture.

It can be repaired.
