Chapter 137 Carrying a Silver Mountain(2/2)

The young man Cui Chan retracted his hand angrily and said helplessly: "It's true that I have been hunting eagles all year round, and the eagle pecked my eyes."

Yu Lu had already bought a well-made boxwood incense tube and filled it with a full tube of incense sticks, which was enough for everyone to go to the temple many times to burn incense.

In addition to thanking them for looking after the carriage on the roadside, the rest of the group walked into the Chenghuang Temple. After each of them offered incense, they saw a couplet in the main hall.

On the verge of death, he was left alone, and he went to the underworld to ask about the welfare of his descendants. In the end, he only left an eternal infamy, and only when he came to the underworld did he know that everything was over.

The City God occupies a high position in the middle, and there are subordinates on both sides, lined up in order, with great momentum. There are as many as eight clay statues with the title of general, including the Onmyoji Division, the Kuaibao Division, and the Eight Including Sushi.

The chief officer, the young Cui Han, also said that the highest-level City God's Temple in Aquarius Continent only stops here, but the largest City God's Pavilion in the world has as many as twenty-four departments, including the Book Inspection Department, Epidemic Control Department, etc.

There are both the Secretary and the Academic Affairs Department, which is almost comparable to the court of a small country.

Lin Shou watched it with great interest, but Li Baoping was not so interested. Li Huai was the timidest, so he only dared to follow Chen Pingan closely.

After carefully looking at the famous mural "Eighteen Levels of Hell" on the wall inside the main hall, I felt that the trip was worthwhile. After that, I walked out of the main hall. The back hall is a lobby similar to a county government court, where the City God sits behind major cases.

, there are civil and military judges standing on the left and right, but there is only half of the couplet outside the hall, "Sincerity is the spirit, there is no need for you to kowtow, retreat quickly", but the second couplet is blank.

Li Baoping suddenly became interested and began to ponder the content of the second line by himself, but he was not satisfied at all. He frowned and refused to admit defeat.

Young men Cui Chan and Yu Lu also stood under the blank couplets.

Chen Ping'an took Lin Shouyi and Li Huai at the door and looked into the lobby. There were clay statues prostrate and kowtow, some were wearing shackles, and some were bowing their heads and kneeling.

There was an old man in green shirt who did not bring his family. When he saw the eye-catching green bamboo bookcase of Li Baoping and his group, he smiled knowingly. He came near the young Cui Zhang, looked up at the blank couplets together, and asked with a smile:

"You gentlemen, have you ever thought of a good second couplet?"

Cui Chan turned a deaf ear.

Once Li Baoping thinks about something seriously, he will concentrate on it and really doesn't hear anything.

Only Yu Lu smiled and replied: "I thought of a few things, but I'm not satisfied with them. It's just too much, so I won't show off to the old gentleman."

The old man laughed heartily, raised his finger and pointed at the couplet, "About this couplet, there has been an unwritten rule circulating in the county. No matter whether it is a person or a ghost, a spirit or a weird one, as long as anyone can write a second couplet that convinces the public,

You can become a distinguished guest of this old city god."

Yu Lu asked in confusion: "Old sir, how can we convince the public?"

Young Cui Chan said lazily: "Ask yourself."

Li Baoping had just thought of a question and killed a blockage in his thoughts. After hearing the question and answer, the little girl subconsciously added: "In the dead of night, when people are quiet and their conscience is clear, they can ask themselves questions and blurt out."

The white-haired old man in green shirt nodded slowly.

Although the little girl in the red cotton coat failed to come up with a suitable second line in the end, the old man still insisted on sending them all out of the Chenghuang Temple, stood at the threshold, and said goodbye to everyone with a smile.

After leaving the ancient City God's Temple, Chen Ping'an asked people about the location of the inn. As a result, everyone was at a loss, as if the county town did not exist at all, so they could only look at the young man in white.

Young Cui Han asked with a smile: "Otherwise, let's forget it? I also heard some gossip, but I may not take it seriously. Besides, if there really wasn't such a place where you can eat gold and silver, you wouldn't have to borrow money from me."

Chen Pingan glanced at Lin Shouyi, who was confused. Chen Pingan said persistently: "You go around the market slowly first, and I will ask questions later."

The straw-shoe boy carrying a backpack trotted forward alone, asking one person after another in the distance of the group.

The young Cui Zhang walked towards the carriage with a vaguely displeased look on his face. He couldn't help but curse, "Chen Ping'an, even if you carry a mountain of gold and silver on your back, this is a waste of money. In the end, you still make wedding clothes for others. How can you be so attentive?"

When the young man in white bent down to lift the car curtain, he turned his head and glanced at Lin Shouyi, who was in the dark. The young man with gloomy eyes suddenly felt jealous at this moment.
