The Opening Summons The Black and White Impermanence - Chapter 721
Chang’an,
City God Temple,
Strive to ensure the safety of one place, and bless the people in Taining.
Eight golden characters stand on the left and right of the Chenghuang Temple.
Even at dusk,
There are still people coming and going inside and outside the Chenghuang Temple.
pray,
Blessed,
everywhere,
“You scholar, did you also come to the Temple of the City God to pray?”
A grocer who sold incense saw Scholar Diao walking towards the Chenghuang Temple, so he took the initiative to approach him.
Looking at his basket of incense that was about to sell out, he knew that his business must be good today.
“Scholar, the Imperial Ranking is about to open. I think you must be praying to Lord Chenghuang to bless you for a high school this year.”
“To tell you the truth, the person who bought my fragrance won the top spot the year before, and the second place last year, and will definitely be the champion this year.”
“One tael of silver and one stick of incense is a good deal. If you’re worried, buy ten or eight sticks to keep you safe.”
The salesman kept recommending his own incense to Scholar Diao,
Scholar Diao also naturally stopped,
“Hey scholar, don’t listen to his nonsense. If you can go to high school after buying his incense, who would go to Lord Chenghuang to pray.”
The merchants around are a little hard to see,
They have debunked the tricks of the salesman.
“That’s why you don’t understand, right? I bought my incense and went to Mr. Chenghuang’s place to burn the incense. Mr. Chenghuang can see your sincerity. Naturally, you will be gifted, and you must be high school.”
“Blow it, in order to sell the incense, you moved out the Master Chenghuang, so shameless.”
“Little old man, don’t talk too much. I am also a sincere incense seller. I keep the last stick of incense every day for Master Chenghuang. Do you still want to say that I am not religious.”
Seeing the salesman arguing with people,
Scholar Diao took out ten taels of silver from his arms and handed it to him.
“Thank you sir, thank you sir.”
“You don’t have to thank me first, this money is not all money to buy incense.”
The salesman was a little surprised,
With ten taels of silver, I don’t know what Scholar Diao wants to do.
“I only buy five sticks of incense with this money, and the remaining five taels of silver are your hard-earned money. Help me go to Chenghuang Temple to have a stick of incense.”
“Master, why don’t you go by yourself?”
Scholar Diao smiled helplessly and shook his head,
On behalf of the underworld, it is the biggest joke in the world to go to the Temple of the City God to offer incense and pray for blessings.
Scholar Diao does not believe in the concept of Hades today,
But he will not betray the underworld and turn his head to the underworld,
These five sticks of incense,
It is not only to save the innocent people of Chang’an, but also to declare war on the underworld on behalf of the only remaining underworld in Chang’an City.
“You can help me fold these five sticks of incense into three short and two long shapes and burn them.”
“Three short and two long?”
The salesman was stunned.
I heard people say three long and two shorts in the past, but what do these three shorts and two longs mean now?
What’s more, why would it be necessary to break three of the incense sticks for Master Chenghuang?
“Go, I’m adding five taels of silver.”
Scholar Diao saw that the seller was hesitant, so he took out another five taels of silver and handed it to him.
“Don’t worry, Master Scholar, you can go to burn incense for Master Chenghuang right away, don’t worry.”
Looking at the reward of ten taels of silver earned in vain,
The salesman immediately rushed to the Temple of the City God,
According to Scholar Diao’s request, he lit the incense in three shorts and two longs.
Scholar Diao watched from the outside, then left silently,
People avoid three long and two short,
Ghosts avoid three shorts and two longs,
Once the five incense sticks are lit, I am afraid that the city **** will immediately know what happened.
There’s not much time left,
kill the butcher,
You wait for me, our plan is about to begin,
You and I both want to die, but my sages told me that this world is not so sinful, and the underworld is not necessarily wrong.
A figure that drifts away,
Covered by the curls of blue smoke,
The salesman put the lit incense in the censer,
Just this moment,
The City God Temple seemed to be frozen, and the salesman raised his head reverently and prepared to leave.
But I never thought that the entire City God Temple would be so quiet and terrifying,
When he was looking at the solemn and dignified Dharma image of the City God,
Master Chenghuang actually appeared.
“A big mortal, do you dare to burn three short and two long incense?”
puff~~~
The salesman was so frightened that his face turned blue,
He knelt down on the ground, trembling, speechless,
Seeing this, the Chenghuang continued to say,
“Are you trying to provoke the authority of the underworld? Who gave you the courage?”
“Master Chenghuang, spare your life, it wasn’t a villain who burned it, it wasn’t a villain.”
“Incense is on the stove, and people are in the temple. Can’t you see it as a deity?”
“Master Chenghuang, a scholar gave the villain 10 taels of silver just now to let the villain do this. If you don’t believe me…”
The salesman pointed to the location where Scholar Diao was standing just now,
But now it’s empty,
The city **** glared angrily,
A black shadow suddenly appeared outside the Temple of the City God,
with a bang,
The powerful ghost king landed on the steps of the bluestone slab, but he looked around but could not see the scholar whom the salesman spoke of.
“Lord Chenghuang, there is no one outside.”
“Master Chenghuang, please spare your life, the villain is really not intentional, it is really someone who gave money to the ghost, and the villain knows it’s wrong.”
Looking at the frightened appearance of the salesman,
Chenghuang also felt a little strange,
Ordinary people burn incense to worship, but such a thing has never happened.
Now it seems that he is not lying,
But this has to be clarified.
The City God was a little brighter, and the salesman’s body suddenly became stiff, and soon a memory was stripped from his mind.
The scene of Diao Scholar’s dialogue with him also slowly emerged.
“What a strange scholar, actually provoking the majesty of the City God?”
“Dali Ghost King, quickly grab the scholar and ask him to clarify.”
“As ordered!”
The powerful ghost king led the way,
The huge City God Temple regained its calm,
The salesman hasn’t recovered from his panic just now.
I only see people around me staring at me with strange eyes,
The salesman wiped the cold sweat from his forehead again and again.
The scene just now was indeed real, and Master Chenghuang was angry…
the other side,
Scholar Diao left the Temple of the City God and went straight to the shop where the butcher was killed.
late at night,
The faint candlelight was still flickering in the shop, and the sound of smashing bones came from inside, right?
bang bang bang,
Scholar Diao knocked on the door to kill the butcher,
Seeing the boning steel knife in his hand, he didn’t say anything and went straight in.
“Come to find me at this time, what’s the matter with you?”
The butcher asked,
But he went back to work on the chopping board,
Scholar Diao looked at the mutilated corpse next to him, then looked at the incomplete piece of meat and said,
“When do you want to do it.”
bang~~~
The deboning steel knife fell on the chopping board, and the butcher’s eyes glowed, and he said excitedly,
“Are you going to start?”
“It’s too good for him. I can’t wait for a long time. I can’t wait to kill all the people in Chang’an overnight. Tell me, when.”
“Tonight, now.”
Scholar Diao said expressionlessly,
“It’s too soon, I’m not ready yet.”
“Don’t you say the sooner the better, in that case, let’s do it tonight.”
“Hahaha, I used to look down on you, Scholar Diao, but it’s different now. You **** is even more anxious than I, so tonight will be fine.”
The butcher laughed,
Wipe away the resentment towards Scholar Diao before.
