Collection of strange powers and chaotic gods

It is said that a few years ago, in Tangli Town, at the foot of Dongting Mountain in Suzhou and on the shore of Taihu Lake, there was a family named Xu, who had a prominent and wealthy family.

This year, the Xu family plans to build a large garden. After some investigation, I felt that the land at my home was not large enough and the garden I built was not grand enough.

The Xu family discussed it and decided to buy some more land and build a large garden.

To the east of the Xu family, there is a Tutu Temple. It has been in disrepair and is dilapidated. There are few pilgrims and the incense has been used up. However, it occupies a large area.

So, the Xu family wanted to buy this earth temple and build a garden.

The Xu family felt that it was not convenient for them to come forward directly, so they found an intermediary, explained their intention to buy the land to him, and asked him to come forward to negotiate the deal.

The middleman understood the idea and immediately went to find the monk from the Tutu Temple.

In private, the buyer and seller quickly agreed on the price, and after all matters were discussed, the Xu family bought the land.

The Xu family immediately demolished the Earth Temple, carried out extensive construction work, built pavilions and flower pavilions, and planted various exotic flowers and plants.

The luxurious and grand garden was successfully constructed. The Xu family was naturally as happy as celebrating the New Year.

At this time, everyone was just enjoying the beautiful scenery of the garden happily. No one would think about the consequences of demolishing the Earth Temple.

More than a year had passed since the incident. The Xu family, who had always thought everything was safe, never expected that at this time, an unexpected and strange thing would happen without warning.

Just this morning, Mrs. Han, the wife of the head of the Xu family, got up and sat in front of the dressing table, combing her hair, with the help of her maid.

Suddenly, her hand loosened, the comb fell to the ground, and she fell to the ground unprepared.

The maid standing next to her quickly reached out to help her.

Unexpectedly, the owner of the Han family did not help him up, and he also fell to the ground.

Maybe he sprained his foot when he fell down, and the maid was in unbearable pain.

After lying on the ground for a while, the maid struggled to get up.

When he saw that his mistress was still lying on the ground, he quickly went over and helped Mrs. Han up.

The maid was about to help her and sit down in front of the dressing table again, but Han stood there motionless, pointing to the lobby outside and speaking.

She asked her maid to move a grand master's chair and place it in the middle of the lobby of her home.

Then he ordered the maid to help her walk to the Grand Master's chair and sit down slowly facing the south.

After sitting firmly, Han spoke solemnly like a government official.

She said loudly and majestically in a completely different voice than usual: "Listen up, everyone: I am the City God of Suzhou! I am now sent by the City God of the capital city to judge your Xu family's private purchase of the Land Temple. case!"

As soon as Han finished speaking, a maid next to her knelt down and said, "I am the Water God of Taihu Lake! Meet the City God!"

Immediately afterwards, another maid also knelt down and said, "I am the Patrolling God of Tangli! Meet the City God!"

Han nodded one by one, as if he had met the gods.

Finally, the maid who had been following Mr. Han knelt down and said, "The little god is the land god of Tangli! He is the plaintiff in this case! See the Lord City God!"

Han nodded in reply. Then she ordered the children of the Xu family and the maids and servants:

"Listen to my roll call, stand in two shifts, east and west, temporarily act as my yamen servants, and follow me to review cases!

If anyone dares to disobey my orders, beat me with a stick! "

Everyone was so frightened that they did not dare to disobey and did as she said.

Han did not repeat himself, and then began to examine the case.

First, she shouted: "Call the defendant to court!"

The people lined up on both sides below shouted the name of the land buyer, her husband Xu.

Xu came to Han tremblingly.

Han looked at Xu, not at all like a gentle wife looking at her husband. Instead, she asked in the tone of an official interrogating a prisoner: "How much money did you spend to buy that piece of land? Who was the middleman?" Recruit from the ground up!"

Xu felt very strange. His wife's accent was not the usual Wu Nong soft talk in the Suzhou area, but the rough male accent of the Yanzhao area.

Xu thought to himself: It seems that the City God is really here!

I suddenly felt horrified!

He knelt on the ground nervously, not daring to hide anything, and answered truthfully: how much was the price of the land, who was the intermediary guarantor, and how was the transaction completed? etc!

After finishing speaking, Xu took the initiative to express his willingness to return the land free of charge without waiting for Han to speak again, and also funded the rebuilding of the Earth Temple.

Mrs. Han was very satisfied when she saw his attitude.

She pondered for a moment and said: "Since the head of the Xu family is so sensible, then I will pronounce the sentence!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Han, who didn't know a single word, asked the person next to him for paper and pen, and wrote down the verdict:

"It is unreasonable for people to seize the land of the gods! What's more, the gods of the land are old and poor. It is extremely pitiful to live in the open for more than [-] years! He has repeatedly accused the city god, but he has not been granted justice. As a last resort, he has sued the city god. Now that you have regrets, It is promised that if the temple is returned, incense and incense can be sacrificed to worship it. It is proven that someone should be punished, but I don’t think he can get much, so he will be punished by performing a drama to atone for his sin. The monk in the temple was already alive and dead before the incident happened, so there is no need to discuss it! "

The meaning of this verdict is that as a mortal, Xu should try his best to seize the land of gods.

What's more, the land god is old and poor. He has been sleeping in the wild for more than a year after losing his land and house.

The poor land god went to Tangli City God Temple several times to file complaints, but for some unknown reason, they were not accepted.

As a last resort, the Earth God had no choice but to appeal to the Kyoto City God.

Now that Xu has known his mistake and has regrets, the city god has made a judgment: Xu will be allowed to return the land and rebuild the temple as a way to make amends.

At the same time, Xu was ordered to regularly offer sacrifices of cattle and sheep and incense to the earth god!

The middleman, so-and-so, should have been punished. Since you have not gained much benefit and have not done any other evil deeds, I will punish you by being an actor and performing a play to atone for your sins!

A certain monk in the Tutu Temple died for some reason before the matter was exposed, so I will not hold him accountable!

After writing the verdict, Han threw away the pen and fell to the ground and fell asleep.

After a while, she woke up on her own.

The maid hurriedly stepped forward and helped her up.

At this time, Han's words were still the same as before, in a female voice with a Suzhou accent.

The maid helped her, returned to the room, sat down in front of the dressing table, and combed her hair as before.

Asked her if she knew what was going on, she had no idea.

Her husband, Xu, followed the verdict and executed it one by one.

From then on, the Tangli Earth Temple became popular, and the Earth God responded to all requests. Suddenly, he became famous far and wide...
