Chapter 74 Actually, I Know a Little About Taoism
Late night Town God's Temple!
Silence!
Lin Ye looked at the dark City God's Temple, and felt a vague bad feeling in his heart.

It turned out that Lin Ye didn't care about it before practicing, but after embarking on the road of cultivation, the practitioner's intuition often represents a sign.

"You can't ignore it. If you are in danger, just hide back to reality."

Looking at the quiet Town God's Temple, Lin Ye finally bit the bullet and walked in. This time he didn't climb over the wall, but directly pushed open the gate of the Town God's Temple.

When the temple door was pushed open, Lin Ye's expression instantly became awkward.

Compared with the darkness and tranquility seen outside the temple, the moment the door was opened, the lights were brightly lit.

Eight yin servants were standing on both sides holding long guns. Right in front of the City God Hall, Yang Chenghuang was sitting on a chair looking at him with a smile. Behind Yang Chenghuang, two yin servants were holding Daohai who was tied up.

Dao Hai was bound by iron chains, and he stood there sluggishly as if he had lost his soul.

No matter how thick-skinned Lin Ye was, his face was a little red at this moment. It was so embarrassing. Now he could snap out a villa with his thumb.

Yang Chenghuang looked at Lin Ye with a playful expression, holding a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, and said, "When you moved the statue of my god, I already sensed it and was about to come back, but I met Master Daoyuan , invited me to Miaoying Temple as a guest, I didn’t understand the situation at the beginning, but when Master Daoyuan talked about the City God Book, I felt like a bright mirror in my heart.”

Gan!
Lin Ye looked at Yang Chenghuang, and couldn't help scolding his mother in his heart. Thanks to him and Senior Brother Daoyuan, he felt a little sorry for this man, but he knew everything in his heart, and he was acting in a temple.

When it comes to the case, I can't help it, probably because I am so happy to play myself like a monkey and I don't want to stop.

"Master Yang, just tell me, how to solve this matter?"

In the blink of an eye, Lin Ye also thought a lot.

If this person is in the mood to act in the temple, it means that there is still something to talk about. Otherwise, if he is really angry, he can point it out in the temple and turn his face directly.

"You broke into my city god's temple, injured my subordinates, and even tried to steal the city god's book. If I hadn't left the city god's book behind, it would be a serious crime. What do you think I should do to you?"

Yang Chenghuang snarled: "According to the law, I can press your souls to the underworld and be punished!"

Facing Yang Chenghuang's stern appearance, Lin Ye felt very stable. This is a negotiation skill. First scare him, and then make a request.

"Sir, tell me, what do you want us to do?"

Yang Chenghuang: ...

Yang Chenghuang didn't expect Lin Ye to be so alert and react so quickly.

But it doesn't matter, it's still under his control after all.

"I'll give you two choices, the first one is that you two brothers and sisters will be crushed by me to the underworld..."

"My lord, tell me the second point intuitively."

Lin Ye interrupted Chenghuang's words. He had heard too much about this kind of negotiation. He would give you two choices, one life and one death. He didn't want to be scolded for words.

"The second way, what you two are talking about with the City God Book, I know very well that Ye Zhiyuan's soul, I have already recruited for you, I only have one request, you must take care of this matter to the end, Listen up to heaven!"

Hearing Chenghuang's words, Lin Ye laughed, and suddenly he felt that he was being calculated.

Yang Chenghuang seemed to understand Ye Zhiyuan's affairs very well.

It seems that he has been involved in the struggle of the officialdom and the battle of the city god.

The most important thing is that I don't seem to have any other options.

"You are curious about Ye Zhiyuan's matter, and you are already involved in this karma. The path I let you choose now is also to let you understand this karma, and there is no loss for you."

It makes sense.

If that's the case, why don't you just say it directly, and make it out in a roundabout way.

Lin Ye curled his lips. He thought that the city was tricky and the people in this other world were simple, but he didn't expect the roads in the other world to be more slippery.

"What's the secret about Ye Zhiyuan, my lord might as well speak up."

"I don't know either. You can handle this matter on your own. Now you can leave with your junior brother and Ye Zhiyuan's soul."

Yang Chenghuang's figure disappeared, including those errands, and only Daohai and Ye Zhiyuan who came out from behind the statue remained in the entire Chenghuang Temple.

"Please sir, give me justice."

Ye Zhiyuan came out and bowed to Lin Ye. The corner of Lin Ye's mouth twitched. Looking at the statue of the City God, he secretly raised his middle finger.

……

……

"Dawu, bring some bundles of straw over there, the floor is a bit hard."

At the foot of the mountain, in the deserted earth temple.

The old Taoist priest directed the young Taoist priest to hold the straw, and then lay on it, stretching comfortably.

"Master, since it's not comfortable to sleep here, why did you refuse City God's invitation to stay as a guest just now? Then City God invited us to stay overnight at the City God Temple."

Dawu was very puzzled, the Town God's Temple looked very good, but the master was unwilling, so he went out of the city overnight and finally chose to spend the night in this desolate temple.

"Dawu, I will teach you another trick today as a teacher. There is no free lunch in this world. These city gods were also human beings, and they are smarter than ordinary people. When dealing with city gods, be careful of being tricked. Do you remember us? Ye Sheng was the Taoist who came to burn incense."

"I remember that Mr. Ye opened a private school in the county and taught many students. Every time he would come to our Taoist temple to burn incense and pray for his son in his hometown."

Dawu still had an impression of that Mr. Ye, because every time Mr. Ye came to the Taoist temple to burn incense, he would ask him if he needed to read at a young age, and gave him several books to read.

"That Ye Sheng has great karma in his body. When he went to the Taoist temple to offer incense, there were ghosts and ghosts pushing behind him. He thought that the teacher would be curious and then be contaminated with this karma. But who am I as a teacher, how can I be fooled by this? Incense I will accept the money, and I will not ask about Ye Sheng's affairs."

The old Taoist is very proud, don't care about who is behind it, he won't take it.

I don't know which nosy person will be pulled into the pit later.

……

……

"Mr. Lin, I only realized what happened to me after being awakened by the City God. I still hope that Mr. Lin will make the decision for me."

Lin Ye brought Dao Hai and Ye Zhiyuan back to his house. Ye Zhiyuan expressed grief and indignation, and told what happened to him.

Ye Zhiyuan was ambitious at a young age, brilliant in writing, and became famous throughout Poyang County. Many high-ranking officials and dignitaries often invited him to banquets. Later, he met a Li Yuanwai.

Li Yuanwai is also a literati, and every time he entertains him with delicious food and wine, Ye Zhiyuan has become familiar with this Li Yuanwai, and he often goes to Li Yuanwai's house as a guest.

When he entered the county for the first time to participate in the scientific examination, Ye Zhiyuan did not expect to meet Li Yuanwai in the county. That night, Li Yuanwai invited him to a banquet, but Ye Zhiyuan did not refuse, because he was confident in his literary talent. The township examination is no problem.

"Mr. Lin, I had to be woken up by the City God, so I remembered the situation after the banquet. After the banquet, Li Yuanwai said that he wanted to test my literary talent. He asked me a few questions, and I answered them on the spot. And those few questions were exactly the questions of that scientific examination."

Lin Ye's eyes sank, and Dao Hai's mouth opened slightly...

"It's a pity that I took the imperial examination on the second day. I faced the same question, but I couldn't write the answer that day. Now it seems that my memory of that day was sealed, and the test was also affected."

"After I failed the ranking, I went back to Poyang County, and Li Yuanwai was very comforting to me. He was even more enthusiastic than before and entertained me with delicious food every day..."

When he said this, Ye Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed, Lin Ye's expression didn't change, it's normal for a boy to be carried away by others.

For three years, Ye Zhiyuan spent most of his time at Li Yuanwai's residence. Li Yuanwai persuaded him, saying that some of the real great writers were officials in the imperial court, and they were all devoted to mountains and rivers. He was willing to subsidize He asked Ye Zhiyuan to travel around the mountains and rivers, as long as Ye Zhiyuan didn't go to the test for fame, but Ye Zhiyuan refused.

Then history repeated itself, Ye Zhiyuan failed in the second imperial examination.

"Mr. Lin, I just found out today that Yuanwai Li is the City God of Poyang County. I beg you to uphold justice for me."

I will preside over your mother's slap.

Lin Ye really wanted to give himself two slaps. When it came to the city god, why was he so curious at the beginning, thinking that there would be merit, so he drilled in. Is this merit so difficult?
Obviously, Ye Zhiyuan should have been admitted to fame, but Li Chenghuang did something wrong, but I don't know why Li Chenghuang did this?

"Junior brother, Li Chenghuang is a yin secretary, and this matter in the yang world has nothing to do with him."

Dao Hai couldn't figure it out, but Lin Ye had a guess in his mind.

At the same time, he also understood why Yang Chenghuang set up this game, it was a game against Li Chenghuang.

"Let's go to Senior Brother Daoyuan first."

Lin Ye took Dao Hai and Ye Zhiyuan's souls to Miaoying Temple. After a quarter of an hour, Dao Yuan, who knew what happened, also frowned. The matter in front of him involved two city gods, so it was definitely not easy.

"Senior Brother Daoyuan, Junior Brother, no matter what conspiracy they have, what Li Chenghuang did was wrong first, we just want to seek justice for Ye Zhiyuan."

Dao Hai couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to. Lin Ye and Dao Yuan looked at each other, how could things be so simple.

"Brother, this time I'm here..."

"Stop, Junior Brother Daoji, this City God does not belong to our Buddhist system, and it has nothing to do with Miaoying Temple if you want to sue."

When Dao Yuan saw Lin Ye speak, he immediately interrupted him. Lin Ye smiled and said, "Actually, I also know a little about Taoism, and I will know how to write this book."

Dao Yuan: ...

Hearing this, Dao Hai looked at Lin Ye in shock.

"It's a bit complicated to learn. Before I became a lay disciple of our Miaoying Temple, I was still a registered disciple of Qingfeng Temple."

Daoyuan looked up at the sky, what was the abbot blinded by, why did he accept such a person?
