MTL - Ascend Another Day-Chapter 13 Huangtianpu Fengshen
When the giant **** died, his condensed incense aura dissipated, and the few arrow feathers stuck on the body of the snake demon Pi Qi also turned into incense aura and dispersed without a trace.
Xu Ying frowned slightly as he inspected the snake demon Piqi's injuries.
Juan Qi's injuries were serious, he suffered internal injuries last night, plus the arrow wounds and sword wounds he suffered in the battle with the giant gods just now, if he didn't receive treatment, he might die soon.
"I probably can't."
Juan Qi saw it very openly, and said, "After I die, you can dry my wax, and you can still be exempted from paying taxes for a year. Ah, I forgot, if you go to the yamen to pay taxes, you are throwing yourself into a trap! Hahahaha cough cough cough!"
He coughed violently.
Xu Ying said with a smile: "You can't die. Have you forgotten? I am a snake catcher. I can catch snakes and heal them. In front is Huangtianpu Town. I will go there to grab some medicine and apply my medicine. Keep you alive and kicking."
Gorky Qizhong was short of breath and tired, and said: "If you go to Huangtianpu Town, don't you just deliver the goods to your door? The gods in Huangtianpu Town are probably not inferior to the giant **** just now. Your current state is no better than mine How much, not his opponent. I am a different snake, you are a snake catcher, and we are enemies, if you leave me, you will leave immediately, and I will not blame you."
Xu Ying shook his head and said: "There are no gods in Huangtianpu Town. I came here some time ago, and the gods of Huangtianpu were said to have been promoted and transferred away. The City God has not yet arranged for a new **** to come. But, you are right, I should Leave you and go."
He left the snake demon and went to the village.
Pan Qi panicked, and hurriedly said: "I still have salvation, don't leave me behind! Try to save me anyway!"
Xu Ying said unhappily: "Can I still take you into the town to grab medicine and heal your wounds? I'm hungry, so eat something first, and you don't want to move around."
Xiao Qi was relieved.
When Xu Ying came to the place where the giant **** was eating just now, he saw that the villagers were scared and hid, only a ten-year-old girl was still sitting on the ground, holding an unfinished chicken leg, staring blankly at him.
Xu Ying looked at the table, there was still half a chicken unfinished, so he took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket and put it on the table, saying: "This is my meal money for the big god."
He gobbled it voraciously, and quickly ate up half the chicken.
Seeing that he was really hungry, the girl handed him the chicken leg she hadn't finished eating.
Xu Ying really wanted to take a few mouthfuls of it, but he held back, and took out another piece of silver to her, saying, "Girl, help me look after my brother, bring him a basin of water, and don't let him die. Yes, don't get too close, he's poisonous."
The girl nodded, and licked the shredded meat on the chicken bone like a cat.
Xu Ying strode out of the village, but after a while he came to Huangtianpu Town.
The town is full of lights and festoons, and it is lively. People on the streets are carrying roasted suckling pigs, chickens and ducks, calves, and sedan chairs, and the horns and suonas are beeping, and they rush forward.
Xu Ying mixed into the crowd, waited and looked along the street, looking for a drug store, thinking: "It's so lively, could it be that some family members are getting married?"
A drum team came beating big drums, and behind the drum team was a tall float, with yellow cattle clearing the way, and the cattle were covered with red and colorful colors. On the float is a lotus-shaped shrine with a stone statue of a **** on it.
The statue has six arms, and there are bronze ribbons wrapped around the arms and palms, wrapping around behind and in front of the body. The statue has two faces, the front and the back, and the carving is fine and lifelike.
Around the shrine, there are two censers at the front and back, burning incense candles as thick as arms, and the fragrance is wafting, smoking the statues.
"The gods of Huangtianpu have been transferred away. Is this a new god?" Xu Ying thought.
The people of Huangtianpu Town also set up a flowing banquet on the street, which was fragrant. Xu Ying pushed forward, grabbed some meat and stuffed it into his mouth to fill his stomach first.
Strange to say, ever since Jianshan met the big bell, he felt hungry all the time, never had enough to eat, and lost both energy and blood.
He followed the float for half a mile, and finally saw the pharmacy in Huangtianpu Town.
The pharmacy shopkeeper and the waiter were also looking at the floats at the door, and there was no one else in the shop except Xu Ying.
Xu Ying glanced at it, called a buddy, and said, "Grab me some herbs."
The guy looked out and said casually, "Do you want a doctor's prescription?"
Xu Ying shook his head and said, "No need. I told you to grab the medicine, hurry up!" After saying that, she gave out her last few taels of money.
He originally planned to escape to other places and save the money to marry a wife, but now that Pi Qi was injured, he didn't care much, so he bought the medicine first.
Seeing that Qian's eyes were wide open, the guy hurriedly asked, "What kind of medicinal materials does the guest officer want?"
Xu Ying reported the names of the medicines and jinliang one by one. When the guy heard the names of the medicines and jinliang he reported, he couldn't help being startled, and murmured in his heart, "Is this treating elephants? You need to get so many medicinal materials?"
In addition to himself, Xu Ying wanted to heal the snake demon, the Gnatchi, which was more than three feet long and weighed 800 catties. Although it was not as big as an elephant, it was not trivial and needed a lot of medicinal materials.
As a family of snake hunters, going out and out of the mountains and forests every day, and dealing with poisonous snakes, insects, ants, demons and ghosts, they naturally need to know some medical skills. Xu Ying has followed his grandfather and adoptive father for many years, and his medical skills are not weak, and heals injuries easily.
It's just that Xu Ying needs a lot of medicinal materials, and the guy won't be able to catch them for a while, so Xu Ying simply left the medicine shop, followed the float, and said in his heart, "Let's see how to conceive the gods."
He has seen the consecration of gods in the village. It is very simple. After the death of a virtuous elder, build an ancestral hall and make a statue out of mud or wood. Mysterious place.
However, the conferring of gods in towns is different from that in the countryside. The gods in cities and towns are all established by Yin courts and must be canonized by Yin courts. During the period of Emperor Mingxiao, the great sage of the Tao, there was also the canonization of the emperor, which was very solemn and solemn.
Xu Ying had never seen this kind of apotheosis, so he couldn't help but be curious.
The crowd flocked the float to a temple in the town, which was already crowded with people and couldn't get in. Xu Ying stopped outside the temple to look around, and saw that all kinds of sacrifices and animals were being delivered to the temple in a steady stream, and many strong men invited the statues down and moved them to the shrines in the temple.
Amidst the fragrance, a small earth **** came out of the ground, unfolded a blue painting with a slap, shook his head, and read: "By God's blessing, the Yin court said: Huang Sanduo, the yin **** of Huangtianpu Town, was kind and generous during his lifetime. Accumulating good fate, accumulating good deeds, feeling the world with virtue, weeping ghosts and gods with righteousness. Today, Xue Lingfu, the city **** of Lingling, has ordered Huang Sanduo to be the God of Huangtianpu, to enjoy the incense in the world, and to receive all the blessings of the dead! This—”
The five-short-figured Land God suddenly accepted the green list, and shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Rituals and music, the dragon **** walks the clouds, and the rain master spreads the rain! Please invite Huang Yuanwai's spiritual position!"
As soon as the voice fell, the drum music suddenly started, and the trumpet and suona blew even louder!
The sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, Xu Ying looked up, and saw huge creatures flying in the clouds, like dragons carved on the pillars in the temple.
Suddenly, the sky began to rain again, and a **** could be vaguely seen standing in the clouds, controlling the rain, presumably it was the rain master **** mentioned by the land god.
The Rain Master and the Dragon God are both officials in the Yin Court, and coming to Huangtianpu Town to enshrine the gods is just a formality. The dragon **** also disappeared.
In the temple, the Conferred God Ceremony is still going on.
Xu Ying inquired from the crowd and asked, "Is this Huang Yuanwai a man of great virtue? After his death, he was directly conferred the title of **** in the town. He has a high status. He must have done a lot of good deeds during his lifetime, right?"
People sneered, and someone spat two mouthfuls of thick phlegm on the ground in front of Xu Ying, and then wrung it with his foot.
Xu Ying was puzzled, and asked in detail, but the townspeople of Huangtianpu Town remained silent and dared not speak.
At this time, an old voice said with a smile: "I don't know, this Huang Sanduo and Huang Yuanwai are a well-known great philanthropist in Lingling County. Doing good deeds, great benevolent people respect the city god, and put a lot of money into the city god's temple during the festivals. To the people in the town, it can be said that they have done a lot of good deeds. The great benevolent man opened a brothel, let the girls work in the brothel, and made a lot of money. He annexed the land, Let the townspeople sell all their good land and work for him, so that he can pay them to support them."
As soon as this remark came out, the people around immediately dispersed with a clatter, staying far away from them and avoiding them.
Xu Ying saw that the speaker was an old man with gray hair and beard, wearing purple-black satin clothes, with his hands behind his back, and a small black string tied on his chin beard, very energetic.
"Huang Yuanwai has done a lot of evil, why can he still be a god?" Xu Ying asked, puzzled.
The spiritual old man smiled and said: "He bought the city god, and the city **** Xue Ling's mansion used his money to open up the Yin court for him, and buy him a priesthood after death. Isn't it easy?"
Xu Ying lost his voice and said, "Yin court is so corrupt?"
The spiritual old man said with a smile: "The Yin court is not corrupt, how can ordinary people be bullied like this? Being bullied by him while alive, he will bully him even after death."
After saying these words, the people around were terrified and backed away again, away from Xu Ying and the old man.
At this moment, a loud voice came and said with a sneer: "It's true that Huang Yuanwai bribed the City God, but how could the government be any better? Could it be that the government didn't get the benefits of Huang Yuanwai?"
Xu Ying followed the sound and saw that the crowd parted to the two sides, and a giant as tall as two ordinary people approached. The giant stepped on black gilt unicorn boots, wore a red dragon python robe, and a black and red black gauze hat on his head. His face was thin and hale, his sleeves fluttered, and his posture was extraordinary!
Where the **** passed by, the crowd seemed to be moved by an invisible hand, and they automatically separated to both sides.
Xu Ying's heart skipped a beat, and he said inwardly, "The City God Statue!"
That giant is none other than the Lingling City God, named Xue Lingfu, who has been in power for five hundred years, and has been in power since the time of Emperor Mingxiao, the great sage of Taoism, enjoying incense and sacrifices!
The city **** Xue Lingfu walked up to Xu Ying and the spiritual old man, and said with a sneer: "Before Huang Yuanwai was alive, he did not pay less money to the government. He forced women into prostitution, and when the women in the brothel couldn't bear it and hanged themselves, the government took his money and sentenced them to death." He is not guilty. He annexed the land, bought and sold it by force, and the untouchables were forced to throw themselves into wells and rivers, and the government wiped his **** for him. You officials can do these things, but I can’t do them in the underworld?"
"Is this old man an official?"
Xu Ying's heart was shaken, and he hurriedly took a step back to stay away from the spiritual old man, thinking, "Could it be that the city **** is talking about him? Who is he? Just now he was upright and awe-inspiring, and he seemed to be a good person. It turned out that he was also in collusion with the city god, and he was not a good person." !"
The spiritual old man laughed loudly, facing the city **** Xue Lingfu without any fear, and said leisurely with his hands behind his back: "What the city **** said is true. The old man did not take away the filial money and treasures from Huang Yuanwai. Of course, in life, one must try his best." Enjoy. The top is not clean, how can those of us who are officials below be clean?"
Seeing him confessing, the city **** Xue Lingfu couldn't help being a little surprised, and said with a smile: "I thought you living people would be brazen and refuse to admit it, but I didn't expect you to admit it. I think it's even thicker."
The spiritual old man Zhou Hang didn't care about his ridicule, and said with a smile: "My son is the county magistrate of Lingling City, why don't I dare to admit what he did? Is it the emperor who can control my Zhou family, or Yinting? My Zhou family?"
Xu Ying took another step back and said in his heart: "This old man is the father of the county magistrate Zhou Yang! This is the end..."
If it was Ding Quan, Wei Chuna and other ordinary Nuo masters, he could still handle it, but if it was a Nuo master from the Zhou family, he would not be able to handle it. What's more, Zhou Hang is also the father of the county magistrate Zhou Yang, and his strength is even more advanced. Unpredictable!
City God Xue Lingfu's face suddenly changed when he heard Zhou Hang mentioned the Zhou family. Now that the imperial power is on the sidelines, the Zhou family is indeed a behemoth that cannot be controlled by the imperial power!
"The culprit, Xu Ying, killed Jiang Yuanwai, and UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com violated the law of the king. I want to take him away." Zhou Hang said with a confident smile.
Xu Ying's body sank suddenly, and he felt that his limbs were tightly bound by an invisible force, unable to move, but they were locked by the breath of the old man Zhou Hang!
Under the oppression of his breath, Xu Ying only felt that his qi and blood were stagnant, and he couldn't move at all, let alone break the breath lock!
The city **** Xue Lingfu laughed loudly, his voice was like thunder, and he said leisurely: "The imperial power is sidelined, the aristocratic family exercises power, and the feudal towns are separated, but the divine power in my Yin court is not left behind! In front of you, even if your ancestor of the Zhou family comes, you have to be courteous! Xu Ying violated the rules of heaven and should be taken to the court of Yin for trial!"
Xu Ying's body sank again suddenly, another extremely powerful aura locked him in, it was the aura of the City God Xue Lingfu!
Xue Lingfu and Zhou Yihang, one is the city **** who has been enshrined for 500 years, and the other is the Zhou family's unfathomable Nuo master, any one of them is far better than Xu Ying!
With just a breath, they were enough to lock Xu Ying firmly, making Xu Ying unable to move!
"The two old clappers are not very capable, but they are very arrogant." In Xu Ying's mind, that mysterious voice suddenly came.
Xu Ying was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said: "Senior, can you beat these two old clappers to death?"
"cannot!"
Da Zhong rebuffed him very simply, saying, "I'm seriously injured now, I can't protect myself, and I can't deal with them."
City God Xue Lingfu and Zhou Hang naturally couldn't hear the big bell's words, but when they heard the words "two old clappers" from Xu Ying's mouth, they immediately turned their heads together, and their eyes fell on him fiercely.
Xu Ying snorted, blinked innocently, and whispered: "You two masters, the old clapper I'm talking about is not you..."
