Chenghuang Temple was outside the county, six miles to the East.
Xu Qi ‘an and the others hurried on their horses and arrived at their destination in the time it took to make a cup of tea.
A small temple with black tiles and white walls was located not far from the official road. The small temple was surrounded by a white wall, and a small winding path connected the temple to the official road.
&Nbsp; the City God Temple was quite lively. There were commoners dressed in plain clothes and rich people dressed in bright clothes coming and going from the narrow and winding path to enter and exit the temple.
There were also a few horse-drawn carriages parked outside the temple.
“Phew!”
Xu Qi ‘an reined in the horse in front of the temple and got off the horse. He helped mu nanzhi down and tied the horse to a stake by the side of the road with li lingsu and Miao Youfang.
He closed his eyes to sense for a moment and was immediately disappointed. There was no dragon Qi in the surroundings.
Two burly men stood at the entrance of the temple. They reached out and stopped them. They raised their heads and said, ”
“If you enter the temple to burn incense, you have to pay twenty wens first.”
There were also tickets in this era. Although the temple God incident had nothing to do with the Dragon Qi, since he had encountered it, he would go in and take. look … Xu Qi ‘an glanced at li lingsu. The latter pursed her lips and handed over twenty wens.
The man on the left took it and examined Xu Qi ‘an’s brocade robe. He chuckled and said, ”
“Twenty wens per person.”
Mu Nanxi frowned. This guy was obviously looking for an opportunity to ask for money after seeing Xu Qi ‘an’s good clothes.
“Why aren’t they using it?” She pointed at a young couple who entered the temple.
“They’re regular customers, so naturally there’s no need.” The man at the door had his own way of saying things. He didn’t seem to be afraid that someone would cause trouble and impatiently said, ”
“If you want to burn incense, then quickly pay up. If you don’t have money, then get lost.”
Xu Qi ‘an looked up and comforted mu nanzhi, saying, “”Give it to him,”
After paying the money, the four of them stepped through the gate. Xu Qi ‘an looked around and saw that the courtyard was divided into two parts by the bluestone road leading to the temple. On the left side was a merit tower made of yellow mud, burning yellow paper.
On the right were two rows of candle stands half the height of a person. Red candles were burning, and wax tears rolled down.
Many pilgrims had gathered on both sides, either burning yellow paper or lighting candles.
&Nbsp; the four of them passed through the courtyard and entered the Shing Wong Temple. The offerings in the temple immediately attracted their attention.
It was an ugly, shirtless little ghost with a big belly. It raised its hands high and dragged a stone mirror. The mirror seemed to be damaged, with only half of it remaining.
It wasn’t the statue that was damaged, but the mirror itself.
In front of the sculpture, more than a dozen devotees were piously worshipping. On the right side of the incense table in front of them stood an old woman with white hair. Her face was thin and her forehead was high and wide. She looked like a mouse.
He was smart and Philistine.
There were no fluctuations of Qi, no vengeful souls, no demonic Qi …. Xu Qi ‘an activated his primordial spirit and scanned the place. He confirmed that this was just an ordinary Shing Wong Temple.
Whether or not it was the City God Temple was still open to discussion.
A normal Shing Wong Temple would not worship a little ghost.
Li lingsu also used the eighth-grade “switch” method of the Taoist sect to examine the small temple. He shook his head slightly at Xu Qi ‘an, indicating that he had not found anything unusual.
Was the waiter exaggerating? Xu Qi ‘an was a little disappointed. It was more likely that the waiter was lying to him than that the person behind this was so skilled that he couldn’t detect anything.
It was impossible for a small county like the heavenly sect to have two crouching Dragons and young phoenixes appear and deceive the great Xu yinluo.
Xu Qi ‘an pondered for a moment, then walked up to caster and said, ”
“We are foreigners. We heard that the City God Temple here is very effective, so we came to the temple to burn incense. You must be a witch. May I ask what kind of deity is being worshipped in the temple?”
The old woman looked at him and saw that Xu Qi ‘an was wearing a robe of good quality. Her eyes lit up, and she coughed.
“Young man, you’ve come to the right place.
“The temple worships the Hun Tian God, an omnipotent God. The mirror in his hand is called the Hun Tian divine mirror, and the Hun Tian God can see the world through this mirror.
I see that your glabella is black. I’m afraid that you’ve met with bad luck recently. You came here to burn incense because the huntian God is protecting you. He saw your bad luck.
Xu Qi ‘an showed a’ frightened ‘expression and said, ”
“What do you mean? I, everything has been smooth on my way here.”
The old woman said lightly, ”
“It’s just not the time yet. If you want to get rid of bad luck, I can give you a clear path. ”
After Xu Qi ‘an nodded, she examined Xu Qi’ an’s clothes and said, ”
the temple God loves money. Offer two hundred taels of silver and worship for seven days. This will eliminate bad luck.
Two hundred taels, what a big appetite … Xu Qi ‘an noted down the names of the Hun Tian God and the Hun Tian divine mirror. He planned to ask the members of the heaven and earth Association in the Book of the Earth fragment later.
Although he was pretty sure that the old witch was a fraud.
At this time, a middle-aged man in thin clothes walked over. He had a sweatshirt on the inside and a worn-out cotton jacket on the outside. Straw could be seen through the holes.
The cotton-padded jacket was stuffed with straw.
The middle-aged man had a weather-beaten face, and years of hard work made him look a little dull. He said in a muffled voice, ”
“Caster, my wife is dying. She, why hasn’t she recovered yet?
you said that she would be cured after worshiping the temple God for seven days, but she can’t eat today.
that means you’re not pious enough, ” said the witch, frowning. you need to continue offering for three days.
The middle-aged man’s weather-beaten face revealed a bitter expression.”I, I don’t have any more silver. All my savings have been used to provide for the temple.”
Caster said unhappily, ”
“That’s your problem. If you don’t have money, you can sell your land or borrow from others.
