MTL - Lanke Chess Edge-Chapter 31 Old Town God
The child's curiosity prompted Xiao Yinqing, who thought he was hiding well, to stare at Ji Yuan secretly for a while, but the more he looked at it, the more creepy he became, and he finally couldn't help but run away.
This frightened Yin Qing and didn't dare to go back to find the little friends who came out to play with. What would the children do when they were afraid? Run home to find their parents!
So Yin Qing did the same, running all the way home out of breath.
Yin Qing's family is also in Tianniufang. Even if it is an angle like Ju'an Pavilion, the straight-line distance is actually only a few hundred meters.
Yin's house is a small courtyard with low walls, a house with a front hall and a back room. A simple screen separates the fairly spacious front hall. There is a place for the living room and Yin's father and son to read, and the kitchen is connected. Outside the main house, it is generally regarded as an ordinary family.
Yin Qing ran home in one breath, pushed open the courtyard door with a "bang~", and rushed into the hall, startling Yin's mother who was weaving at home.
"A-Niang, A-Niang!!! Well, over there, there is a big gentleman, he, huhu... That big gentleman and the ghost, huhu..."
"Don't worry, talk well, what a big gentleman is not a big gentleman!"
Mother Yin took out a handkerchief to wipe Yin Qing's sweat.
"How old are you, how incoherent your speech is!"
The stern voice came, which startled Yin Qing, and even suppressed the fear of hitting a ghost before.
"Dad, you're at home..."
Yin Qing turned her head and noticed that by the window in the hall, her father was sitting on a chair with an open book.
"Qing'er, your father was recommended by Master Zhu and Master Zhou as the master of the new school in the county, so you don't need to go to Zhu's house to be a private teacher in the future."
"Master? Really, Daddy? When will it start?"
Yin Qing was very excited when she heard the news.
"Hehe, of course it's true, it will take a few more days, but it won't be too long!"
Father Yin replied with a somewhat contented beard.
"When the time comes, you can go to the school together, don't mess around outside all day, learn the book of sages and sages, and get famous in the future is the only way out!"
"Oh……"
Yin Qing actually hates reading books, but she doesn't dare to refute her father.
Originally, there were places to study in Ning'an County, but most of them were private schools run by old scholars who were not good enough.
This time, the school can be regarded as a relatively formal learning place in Ning'an County. In theory, it is only lower than those of the academies, and the school is aimed at a lower age group, and the academy has a higher age group. Many people choose to let their children go to academies when they are young and grow up in a school.
Yin Zhaoxian, as an orthodox scholar who has won the second-class position in the state exam, is definitely considered the number one among scholars in Ning'an County. He feels normal and proud of being elected as a school master.
"By the way, what was the panic just now?"
Yin Zhaoxian put down the book and looked at Yin Qing.
"Oh yes, Daddy, there is a new resident in the Ju'an Pavilion over there. He is a gentle and kind gentleman, but he talks to the ghost inside..."
"Shh!!!!"
Mother Yin covered Yin Qing's mouth all of a sudden.
"This is also nonsense?"
Yin Zhaoxian's face is not very good-looking, even though he is quite knowledgeable and knows the ignorance of many villagers, but he is also very secretive about Ju'an Xiaoge. It is really a bit too evil.
Then Yin Zhaoxian suddenly reacted, staring at his son and asking.
"How did you know?"
"Uh... This... Mr. Da's eyes are not good. Just now, he was fetching water in Shuangjingpu and the bucket was overturned. I just helped him fetch water. Who knew he lived in An Xiaoge... …”
Yin Qing lowered her voice in fear.
"You went in?"
Mother Yin asked nervously, although there should be no problem in living in An Xiaoge on a sunny day, but the place is too evil, and Yin Qing is a weak child, so adults can't help being nervous.
"No, no, Dad and A-Niang have told me so many times, how dare I go in, I put down the burden at the door, but after I ran away, I saw the big gentleman talking in one direction outside the courtyard, Shui took it into the yard and went out, chatting and talking while walking, as if someone was following him, and talking about what happened before and after death was scary, I was too scared and ran home!"
After speaking, Yin Qing asked her father, afraid and curious.
"Dad, do you think the ghost in Ju'an Pavilion came out with the big gentleman?"
Yin Zhaoxian also got goosebumps when he heard it, and Mother Yin covered Yin Qing's mouth again.
"Okay, okay, don't run over there to play in the future, and, about this... don't talk nonsense outside, you know?"
"Oh, I see!"
Mother Yin hugged Yin Qing and rubbed his head.
"Mr. Xianggong, take Qing'er to the Chenghuang Temple to pay homage to the Lord Chenghuang, will you be lucky?"
In the end, it is about his own son, and Yin Zhaoxian is not pedantic. If it were some extreme scholars, he would probably have ridiculed a strange power, but Ju'an Pavilion is more evil.
"Okay! After lunch, I'll take Qing'er to the Temple of the City God for incense sticks!"
A few years ago, when doing things, a trembling old mage mentioned that the City God of Ning'an County was suppressing it. Since that time, the people of Tianniufang have worshipped the City God on New Year's and festivals.
. . .
Ji Yuan followed the Japanese tour through half of Ning'an County to the City God Temple in Temple Sifang. After gradually arriving in a crowded place, Ji Yuan and the Japanese tour did not chat much anymore.
Until they reached the bustling City God Temple, an old man was standing in front of an incense candle stand, and Sun Parade hurried forward to salute.
"Lord Chenghuang, Mr. Ji is here!"
Because there were pilgrims and people passing by, the Old City God just nodded to the parade.
The latter said "Subordinates retire!" and floated away on their own.
Ji Yuan originally thought that he would go to a relatively hidden place in the temple ~www.novelbuddy.com~ to show up, but he did not expect that the Chenghuang would appear directly outside the temple in the form of a mortal old man.
He looked at the city **** in a daze, but Ji Yuan's half-open eyes were completely unable to tell whether his eyes were gathering or dispersing.
There is also a faint scent of sandalwood on this city god, but it is much lighter than the previous four chief officials.
And Cheng Huang was also observing Ji Fate, those eyes were dead at a glance, but when Mr. Ji came, he was no different from ordinary people, and he was blind but did not feel turbid, but revealed a plain and vast, Not mortal after all!
The mutual observation actually lasted for a few seconds, and then the old man was the first to break the peace.
"Ning'an County Town God Song Shichang, Mr. Xie Ji, Gao Yi, help us to eradicate evil things!"
When he saw the old man handing over, he didn't dare to entrust his fate. Opposite was a county town god, a big man of ghosts and gods, and he quickly handed over together, doing a more respectful job than the old man.
"Lord Chenghuang broke me, it's just a little trick, and it happened to help the chief officials of various divisions, it's nothing but nothing!!"
"Hehehe, Mr. Ji is being too modest. I know that Mr. Ji has never had breakfast. He has already ordered a table of snacks in the building outside the temple. Let's talk over there, please!"
Ji Yuan also quickly imitated the city **** to reach out and do the invitation, and did not dare to ask for it at all.
"It's better to be respectful than to obey, please!"
Looking at the lively and bustling surroundings of the Temple of the City God, from time to time there are people going in and out of the temple to worship the City God, and the City God is by his side, so the tension will be higher than before.
"Relax, don't let your legs be stiff..."
If anyone can look at the clay statues in the temple and walk down to chat with you, they will probably be able to understand the feeling of the fate now.
