Wanjie Athletics, I choose Zhang Sanfeng to start

At that time, he blew into Liu Mei's mansion with a ray of wind. Although he was not there in person, he still heard some words of Liu Mei.

Liu Mei used people as fertilizer and planted flowers in order to please the Queen Mother.

Cao Zhe didn't think much about it at that time.

After all, what is good at the top must be bad at the bottom.

Eunuch Liu's planting flowers with human fertilizer does not necessarily mean that the Queen Mother herself is a vicious and cruel person.

It's just that looking at it now, this queen mother... is very demonic!

"You can follow Pindao!"

"But you have to talk about the Queen Mother first." Cao Zhe said.

When Cao Zhe was in Laoshan, he only heard about some things in the practice circle from Laoshan senior brother, but he didn't dabble in the affairs of the court, the royal family, and the harem.

Some of the information about the Ming Dynasty was originally prepared by Wang Qilang as an identity, and some of the information he listened to after he went down the mountain.

When mentioning the queen mother, Jing Long seemed to be even more frightened, trembling all over, and even took the initiative to move closer to Cao Zhe.

This further shows that the fear of the Queen Mother is rooted deep in his soul, so much so that he has forgotten Cao Zhe's brutality before.

"This...Xiaolong should not talk about it!"

"In that case, Xiaolong will take his leave first." After Jing Long finished speaking, he left Cao Zhe and the others, quickly turned into a blue light, and flew out of Jinling City.

Seeing Jing Long's dawdling appearance, Feng Sheng said in a temper: "You're twitchy, look angry."

"Ask him, he still pushes back and forth, and wants us to cover him, he deserves to be skinned and cramp."

The little fox Hongyu said: "You can accumulate some virtue in your mouth! If he escapes, that's the best, but don't be caught back. If you make others worse, it's better to make us better."

"He can't escape. Since he is a well-born dragon, he is connected to the earth veins, which is different from those dragons who rely on blood veins. The water veins will not change, and he has not cut himself off from the water veins. So we can only move around within Jinling City," Cao Zhe said.

Chapter 162 Invite the City God

"Then let's wait for him to come back by himself before asking him about the Empress Dowager?" Feng Sheng asked excitedly.

He didn't seem worried at all that he would bring disaster, and he didn't know whether it was because he was courageous and not afraid of death, or because he had full confidence in Cao Zhe.

"That's not necessary, we can directly ask the local snake." Cao Zhe said.

"Who is it?" Feng Sheng answered quickly.

Cao Zhe said, "Of course it's the local city god!"

The City God of Jinling City is the brother of Zhu Jiuchong, the founder of the country.

He was called Chang Xinda, and was posthumously named the Duke of England after his death.

At the beginning, the two fought together. Before the founding of the country, Chang Xinda covered the retreat of Taizu's army, so as to seize the opportunity in the next Guanjian battle, so he led 3000 people to break the rear and died in the battle.

Pulling out the arrowhead from his body after death would weigh a full four catties.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Jiuchong set up the Town God's Temple in Jinling City, appealed to the Heavenly Court, and lowered to the Underworld, and enshrined Chang Xinda as the Jinling City God to protect the people of one side.

Although he died before the founding of the country, it seems that he did not enjoy the glory and wealth.

But if you look at what Taizu did in the decades after the founding of the country, this British public commissioner really died well and wonderfully.

Not only the family has been honored to this day because of his death.

Because of this, he himself was conferred the title of Landlord, and in a sense he was granted immortality.

On the other hand, the group of old brothers who survived the founding of the country... that was a miserable situation.

The luckiest ones were also dispatched to the border area, the border of Yongzhen.

Of course, this does not mean that Taizu did something wrong.

Starting from personal feelings, the brothers fought together. At the beginning, they took a bath and patted their butts together. Then one of them became the emperor, and the brothers kowtowed and begged for mercy. It was a eunuch from the palace. Who can bear to be proud in front of them?When your mind is messed up, do something stupid.

In addition, when some people occupy the country, they feel that it is time to divide up the fruits of victory. Their actions are exactly the same as those of the vicious big bureaucrats, big landlords, and even alien races in the past, or even worse. .Taizu was born in poverty, so of course he couldn't bear it, so he could only use the butcher's knife and aim at his good brother in the past.

Time has passed, and now there are not many princes and nobles left.

The Town God's Temple is still standing in the south of the city, and the incense is strong.

However, in the early days of the founding of the country, the monarchs of all dynasties occasionally entered the temple to worship.

To this day, it has never been heard that the monarch mentioned the founding city god again.

Even the three permanent residences in Jinling seldom come to the Town God's Temple.

It was early morning when Cao Zhe arrived at Chenghuang Temple.

The gate of the Town God's Temple has not yet opened.

Cao Zhe passed through the wall.

In the incense box, he took out three sticks of incense, lit them with a wave of his hand, and inserted them into the incense burner.

"Xuanxuanzi, Taoist priest of Laoshan Mountain, I have something to ask Chang Chenghuang. I will hold a banquet in the pine forest in the west of the city tonight, and I hope the Chenghuang will appreciate it." After finishing speaking, he stuffed a few copper coins into the merit box, turned and left.

After Cao Zhe left.

Wearing armor, riding a bay red horse and holding a lance, the city god, who looks more like a mighty general, stepped out of the statue.

He glanced at the three sticks of incense in the incense burner.

In his eyes, those three sticks of incense were not incense at all, but three straight arrows that were radiating thunder, flames, and stars.

Chang Chenghuang stretched out his hand to pull out the arrow, but found that he couldn't get close at all, and his fingers seemed to be cut off and dissipated just by getting closer.

"What is the origin of this Taoist...?"

"Could it be that some great virtue from the heavenly court reincarnated in the lower world to practice gilding?" Chang Chenghuang thought to himself.

Then I started to worry about what kind of gift I should prepare for the banquet tonight.

When such a big man recruits, he must go, and he doesn't know the character of the other party. If the etiquette is not light, he is worried about offending others.

How do you say that?

'Li, I don't need it, but you can't not give it'.

Chenghuang is also a yin god, so he can only be active in the Chenghuang Temple during the day.

Only at night, when the sun's fire no longer envelopes the earth, can the City God travel and tour the boundaries under his jurisdiction.

Due to the presence of Chang Chenghuang, the security of Jinling City at night is better than that during the day.

At least, there are almost no monsters who dare to act recklessly at night.

Chang Chenghuang not only attained the Tao alone, but all the elite soldiers under his command were also in the City God's Yin Mansion, acting as government servants and underworld messengers.

Often when going out to hunt demons, the army would move in unison, so how would you dare to provoke them?

It's just that tonight, Chang Chenghuang went out, but it seemed extraordinarily 'simple'.

Only a dozen personal guards accompanied him.

When we arrived at the pine forest in the west of the city, we could smell the strong aroma of food from a long distance away.

Ordinary ghosts cannot eat, only smell.

But Chenghuang is an earthling. In a sense, he also has a body, but it is different from a human body. What he has is a body of merit.

It can also be used to enjoy human food.

Before Chang Chenghuang arrived, he heard Cao Zhe greeted by the campfire: "But the Chenghuang has arrived?"

"Come here quickly. The cook of the poor Taoist family has just cooked the beggar's chicken. It is cooked with three-headed chicken essence. It is stuffed with precious elixir. Eating it will help you practice."

Chang Chenghuang immediately quickened his pace.

Walking to the campfire, everything is bright.

In mid-air around them, torches were floating out of thin air.

A red-haired fox who has returned to his original body and wears a Buddhist bead bracelet on his wrist is busy cooking food.

The ugly nun, who was following her orders, was also busy keeping her feet on the ground.

And a strange man with fox ears, mouth and tail, and a turtle shell on his back is sitting cross-legged, practicing hard.

There was only one person, looking at the sword eyebrows and stars, sitting on the dry tree trunk, holding a wine pot in one hand, and a roasted leg of lamb in the other, eating happily.

Although it is said to be a banquet... But the host doesn't seem to have the intention of waiting for the guests to come and start the banquet together.

"Come! Come! Come! Sit!"

"You're welcome, these are freshly hunted game, eat it while it's fresh." Cao Zhe handed Cheng Huang a piece of wild meat.

Chang Chenghuang looked at the piece of pork in his hand, and couldn't help but say: "If the king of the mountain in Niumang Mountain is just game, then the certain family is probably nothing."

When Cao Zhe heard this, he shook his head and said, "What kind of status were they in life? That's all in the past tense. Now they are a dish, aren't they?"

"Stop gossiping, eat first... The few around me are all foodies."

"When this guy rests and digests the increased mana, I'm afraid he's going to eat Hesai again." Cao Zhe said, pointing at Feng Sheng.

In a team, there will always be an object, which is used as a prop to energize the atmosphere and make fun of it.

They are often not outstanding in their work, and their appearance is also very average. Apart from being more broad-minded, they have almost no major characteristics.

But the leader always likes to bring the topic to this person, which seems to be very popular with the leader.

In fact, sometimes to open the topic, you need a mat.

This kind of role also occasionally appears in the friendship field or in class reunions.

Perhaps...the necessity of Feng Sheng's existence in the team, this is one of them?

Chapter 163

After Cao Zhe chatted like this, the originally tense atmosphere immediately relaxed.

Looking at each other and smiling, the bonfire is full of joyful atmosphere.

Cao Zhe didn't go directly to the topic, but took this Chang Chenghuang to eat and drink first, and then chatted about some past customs and customs, and recalled the eventful past when he fought with the Taizu in the world.

After he became three-point alcoholic and five-point familiar, he gradually turned the topic to the real thing.

He didn't know that Chang Chenghuang also intended to cater to him, so the chat was indeed very pleasant.

"Brother Chang also knows about it. Pindao has caused a lot of commotion in the east of the city. I have caught all the ingredients used by the queen mother to make fairy soup."

"Now that I have offended the Empress Dowager, I don't know what the Empress Dowager's origins are, and she has such a means to count all the monsters and ghosts from the three mountains and five mountains, and she is not afraid of causing any disturbance." Cao Zhe said.

The imperial court, demons, ghosts, and practitioners have always been inseparable from each other.

When the imperial court is favored by the heavens, the state is in constant state, and luck is shrouded in it, all court officials and high-ranking existences cannot be easily offended.

If it is killed, it will be backlashed by luck. The higher the grade, the more important the effect on the court, and the more intense the backlash.

Not only that, but it may also attract the attention of the heavens and the underworld. Some immortal cultivators who take the meritorious route will also immediately start the mode of walking for the sky to open the big gift package.

As for mountain spirits, most of them hide in barren hills, or hide in the market, and there are often few intersections with high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

If it is not necessary, the imperial court will not take the initiative to target some demons and ghosts, or people who are practicing in the mountains.

After all, the power of the imperial court is mainly concentrated in various important towns, but in fact the royal power does not go to the countryside, which is reasonable in this era.

In the borderlands of all sides, bandits and bandits in the barren mountains and wild mountains can't be wiped clean, so why talk about targeting demons and ghosts?

The heaven and the underworld are staring at it, and building a god dynasty can only be an imagination, and it is difficult to realize it as a reality.

In fact, Chang Chenghuang also guessed a little bit about Cao Zhe's intention to invite him. Now that Cao Zhe had formally mentioned it, he thought about it for a while, and then replied: "This matter, from the point of view of a certain family, from the beginning, first of all It has to be related to an old event in Qiande years."

"The year of Qiande? Is it so far away?" Cao Zhe was slightly surprised.

After all, if the emperor goes up today, he will be Emperor Yuanfeng, and if Yuanfeng goes up, he will be virtuous.

Even if it is counted from Qiande's later years, it has been forty or fifty years ago.

"Emperor Qiande went to the south of the Yangtze River three times back then, and traveled in white dragon fish suits, which caused some romantic debts. There are still many folk tales, which are made up with this absurd emperor as the protagonist. "

Speaking of this, Chang Chenghuang frowned, obviously even though the romantic emperor died long ago, he was still not happy.

"The most famous of them is an oiran named 'Yu Furong', who once had a sensational entanglement with Emperor Qiande."

"Back then when the frontier was in an emergency, the important ministers in the court made thirteen petitions, but Emperor Qiande still stayed in Hualou, and he couldn't think of Shu." When Chang Chenghuang said this, he already had a sense of substitution, and he gritted his teeth in hatred.
