There are three beautiful characters written on the banner at the temple gate: Bo Gong Temple.

That is to say.

This is an earth temple dedicated to the earth god.

Couplets posted on both sides of the main hall door:

Earth can produce all things,

The earth can bring a thousand blessings.

Inside the main hall, it is visibly old and shabby, with a thick layer of dust all over the place. There is only one shabby altar table, which feels like it could be blown over by a gust of wind.

In front of the altar table, there are three futons, which seem to be woven from wicker.

On the altar table, there were several plates, white porcelain bowls, candlesticks without candles, and an incense burner mixed with rat droppings.

Most of the offerings placed on the plate were steamed buns, which were moldy and black.

The sacrifice placed in the bowl should be peaches, which are rotten and smelly.

Behind the altar table, against the wall, stands a clay sculpture, standing with hands behind its hands, looking up to the sky at a forty-degree angle, and covered with many spider webs.

On the chest of the clay sculpture, someone has written two lines of small graffiti, which are also couplets:

There are temples but no monks swept away by the wind,

There is more incense and less moonlight than candles.

Such a small temple, so dilapidated.

But Dian Wei raised his head and glanced around, and was shocked.

I saw a monster squatting on the futon in front of the altar, with skin as white as bone, only one meter tall, and an exaggerated head, bigger than its body.

The huge head pressed against the thin neck, extremely twisted and weird.

There seemed to be a human face on the head, full of wrinkles, empty and sinister eyes, no eyebrows, rosacea, and a crooked mouth.

My head was also covered with scabies, which were so densely packed that it looked very oozing.

This ghost's appearance is already very scary, but what's even more scary is that its body is translucent.

If I had to make an analogy, this monster is like the obese version of Gollum from Lord of the Rings.

"ghost?!"

Dian Wei's heart was awe-inspiring, this was no chance, it was clearly a day trip.

Without thinking, he turned around and ran away.

"Young man, can you see me?" Suddenly, an old and depressed voice came.

Dian Wei tensed up and turned his head half-way back slowly.

The monster was looking over, and its eyes fell on Dian Wei's face. When Dian Wei turned his head and looked at it with focused pupils, it suddenly became excited and said, "You can also hear my voice, right?

"

Dian Wei's Adam's apple twitched and he tried to stay calm.

This ghost speaks human language and should be able to communicate.

Besides, it's broad daylight now, and ghosts can't run into the sun, right?

Dian Wei took a step back, stood in the sun, and bravely said: "Who are you?"

As soon as this question came out.

The monster became even more excited and said: "I don't think I can be a god. The little god is just a local landowner. His surname is Zhang Wende."

"Lord of the Earth, are you the only one?" Dian Wei blinked, surprise written all over his face.

I bet this ghost is the owner of this earth temple!

In Journey to the West, the "land old man" who was called by Brother Monkey and disappeared immediately, actually appeared before his eyes.

"This world is really amazing."

Dian Wei was amazed in his heart, and then he thought, if there is an earth god here, would the gods and Buddhas in the heavens also...

At this time, Tu Tu Gong took a few steps forward, looked at Dian Wei carefully with his empty eyes, his face trembled and said: "It's strange, you are obviously just a mortal, how can you see the 'Yin Shen'?"

How could Dian Wei know what was going on?

Also, what is the Yinshen?

He pondered for a moment and said: "Lord Lord, there was a monster that ate everyone in the village yesterday."

After saying that, he stared at Tudigong to see his reaction.

Since you are a land, if monsters run wild on your territory, you will not remain indifferent.

Hearing this, the Lord of the Land sighed: "That's a 'Bodhisattva'. Alas, the Bodhisattva wants to eat people, and the little gods are powerless to stop it!"

"What did you say, Bodhisattva?" Dian Wei was startled, thinking he heard wrongly, "Bodhisattva, eating people?"

"What can Bodhisattvas eat if they don't eat people?" Tu Gong asked back, "Yes, you are just a mortal, how can you know what a Bodhisattva is?"

Dian Wei was speechless, "Then, will the Bodhisattva come back?"

"No, he was just passing by here. He should be a hundred thousand miles away at this moment." The Earth God shook his head and sat down slowly, holding the head of a giant baby on his head.

"Young man, what's your name?" asked the Earth God.

Dian Wei felt strange. As a landowner, he didn't know who the residents were on his own land.

but……

Judging from the situation, it seems that the landowner really doesn't know him.

"My name is Dian Wei." Dian Wei said silently.

"Well, young man Dian, you showed up at the right time." The Earth God nodded, "The little god was so shaken by the roar of the Bodhisattva that his spirit collapsed, and he will soon perish."

Another long sigh.

Dian Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that this landowner was about to die.

"I, Zhang Wende, was born a child prodigy. I started practicing martial arts at the age of eight. I officially entered martial arts at the age of ten. I became a 'teacher' at the age of forty-seven. I became a 'walker' at the age of ninety-five. I have been in the world for more than a hundred years. I died at the age of two hundred and nine.

At the hands of the enemy."

"After my death, Master's kindness not only kept me alive, but also helped me become a land lord, own a town, accept the incense and prayers of more than 100,000 people, and enjoy boundless blessings."

"Unexpectedly, my good luck did not last long, and my master also died at the hands of thieves, and both body and soul were destroyed. I lost my blessing, and the evil people destroyed my ancestral hall and temple, and was driven out of the city. I wandered around in many places, and finally came to

This ruined temple is struggling to survive."

"I never expected that a Bodhisattva would pass by this place, and with its mighty roar, I would be seriously injured."

At this point, Tu Tu Gong looked at Dian Wei and said, "You must have felt the Bodhisattva's terror. Just the sound of His breathing can make your orifices bleed."

Dianwei pricked up his ears to listen to the chatter of the land master.

Although he didn't understand much of the content, he didn't ask any more questions.

God knows whether this dying landowner will use any evil methods to save the dog's life, such as seizing the dog's body.

"Dianwei, the little god is about to die soon." The Earth God sighed, "You and I are destined, and the little god wants to give you a great blessing."

Dian Wei immediately became wary.

The direction of this conversation seems to be a standard plot of some bad drama.

Stop joking.

You and I are neither relatives nor friends, so don’t give away such deceptive things as Great Fortune. Don’t trick me. I don’t want to die so quickly.

The land opened its mouth and vomited out.

Wow!

A ball of mucus spits out from the earth male's mouth.

The Earth God stretched out his hand and pulled twice in the mucus, and a square seal was immediately revealed.

"Dianwei, can you see this thing?" Tugong asked.

Dian Wei nodded, "A square seal."

Tu Tu Gong nodded: "This thing is Tu Tu Gong's divine seal. The person who holds this seal is the Tu Tu Gong's divine seal."

With that said, the Lord of the Land handed over the seal, "Dianwei, the little god wants you to take over the seal and become a land."

Dian Wei heard this and said in surprise: "Can anyone be the God of the Earth? Anyone can do it?"

"Of course not. You must hold the land god's special seal to become a piece of land." Tu Di Gonglian said.

Dian Wei understands.

The God of Earth is a priest, but this position only recognizes the seal and not the person. Whoever holds the seal is the one.

"There are only two ways to become a land.

First, by accepting canonization, this is how I became the land;

Second, inherit from the earth god, and I choose you as my successor."

The Earth God explained carefully, "Generally speaking, only the 'Yin God' can see the seal, so only the 'Yin God' is qualified to become the Earth God, but you seem to be born with strange eyes, so you are also qualified."

Dianwei didn't dare to accept it and said cautiously: "Lord of the Earth, what virtue can I have? Besides, I will not receive any reward without merit."
