Flavored candle shop

Shangjing Town God's Temple is well planned and constructed around it, surrounded by commercial streets and snack streets, and has a long history. Therefore, although not many people really believe in these things, there are still an endless stream of people visiting Town God's Temple.

With a huge flow of people, the entrance fee of only [-] yuan can make all the tall and majestic statues in the Chenghuang Temple shine, and look at the fragrant flowers and fruits on the incense table, and the golden beams on the wall. The murals and carvings... have a taste of magnificence.

The three of them walked through the front several times into the gorgeous temple without stopping for a moment, and went straight to the last one to enter the City God's Hall.

The Town God's Hall is much simpler than the previous temple. The interior of the hall imitates the furnishings of the ancient county government hall, with strict ceremonies and great power.

"It's up to you to accumulate good and evil in the three realms of the yang world. Who has been let go in the underworld throughout the ages." After reading the upper and lower couplets, Fang Chong's mouth twitched, and he uttered the horizontal comment in an indescribable way, "You are here."

This couplet is simple, easy to understand and meaningful. It was originally a regular configuration in the Temple of the City God, but today, there is an inexplicable... unspeakable feeling.

In the hall, there is a white-haired old woman kneeling tremblingly on the ground, muttering in a low voice while kowtow, begging from the happiness of the family all the way to the extraordinary performance of the grandson in the final exam, and at the end, she also begged for the city god God bless her old cold legs from hurting any more.

After praying piously, the old man struggled to stand up. The movement was really frightening. Fang Chong planned to step forward to help him, but before he could move, a man wearing bright yellow clothes suddenly appeared from the dark place of the temple. A young girl in a red coat with the words 'volunteer'.

After the girl carefully helped the old man up, she took out a bucket of lottery with a smile on her face: "Grandma, we are holding an event in Chenghuang Temple today, asking for lottery for free, do you want to be one of them?"

The volunteer was too young, and the old man was a little suspicious: "It's really free?"

After the girl made repeated promises, the old man was still unable to resist the temptation of free, and carefully waved a lottery.

"Illness for a while... The peaches and plums grow again in the spring breeze... Oh! This is a sign! It seems that the hidden dangers of grandma's body will be solved soon!" The girl said with a smile on her face after taking a look. .

"You know how to solve the lottery?" Although there was still some doubt in my heart, the pleasant words were pleasant to the ear. Holding the bamboo stick, the old man's wrinkled face softened a little.

"How can I know that!" The girl waved her hands again and again, with a shy expression on her face, "I just watched and listened a lot around the abbot, and I have a little understanding of the signature, but I dare not say it! I still have some Learn!"

Hearing what the girl said, the old man believed three points instead, and she said eagerly: "You learned the lottery from Taoist Xuanzhen? Then tell me again!"

The girl was a little embarrassed and said: "I'm just learning to play, if what I say is wrong, don't laugh at me... Oh, how about this, I will take you to the abbot after I undo the sign, and let him show you again , when the time comes, let’s match up, so that your checkout will not be wrong, and I can take the opportunity to steal another teacher from the abbot~”

"Okay, okay!" The old man nodded excitedly. Although Taoist Priest Xuanzhen, the abbot of the Town God's Temple, looks young, he has real skills!Letting him help solve the lottery once is simply a rare and lucky thing, how can I not agree to it!

"This sign says that your body will turn around before next spring at the earliest...Speaking of which, it seems that Shangjing Hospital has recently invited an orthopedic expert, who is said to be very good at treating old cold legs... This sign The language may be guiding you..."

The girl helped the old man slowly walk out of the City God's Hall, and the voice of his voice gradually faded away.

Fang Chong, who watched the entire process of "volunteer sign-off" had something to say: "I think Shangjing Hospital should pay Chenghuang Temple advertising fees."

Such a tactful advice to the elderly: it is better to go to the hospital if you are not in good health.It really took a lot of effort.

Looking at the golden statue of the City God sitting on the throne, Pei Ci felt a little emotional.

No matter how gorgeous and dazzling the frame is, without benevolence and divinity, if the outer shell is removed, it will be nothing but clay-bodied wood plastic.

Hong Yao didn't have so much insight. His purpose today was very clear, to vent his anger... Ahem, to report and expose.

After slowly walking around the statue twice, Hong Yao stopped, folded her arms and raised her head, looking directly at the statue of the city god.

In this situation, Fang Chong seemed to see sparks and lightning splashing everywhere!

... I don't know if it's too late to exit the hall now.

Fang Chong's careful thought to cover the boss's retreat had just surfaced, and Hong Yao made a new move—he took out three sticks of incense from his cloth pocket, and inserted them neatly into the incense burner.

Fang Chong finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling very relieved in his heart.Although Boss Hong was a little more direct in his actions, fortunately, he was still able to listen to and persuade him.

People don't fight with officials, and people don't fight with ghosts, let alone ghosts and gods who have become officials.It is really not a wise choice to confront it head-on.

However, after the incense was lit, the red medicine did not worship, and just leisurely folded his arms and stared at the rising green smoke.

really!He knew that his breath was relieved early!

The atmosphere in the hall was tense and embarrassing, Fang Chong had nothing to say: "Boss Hong...is this incense for gods and ghosts the same? What does it smell like?"

"How can I divide it so finely? This is the leftover from the previous sale." Seeing that the incense burned quickly, there was only half of it left in a blink of an eye, and said in a brisk tone, "Besides, I'm just doing the courtesy first and then the soldiers. It's just a matter of meaning. .”

Fang Chong: "..."

Is it an illusion?Why did he feel that Boss Hong's tone was too excited when he said "before the soldiers"?

After the incense was completely burned out, Hongyao proved with his actions that the excitement in his tone was not an illusion.

Why!Why can a two-meter-long copper ring sword be taken out of such a small cloth bag! ! !

Fang Chong watched in horror as Hong Yao raised his knife to the god statue. The copper ring on the back of the knife jingled like a frenzy. The moment he was about to swing it down, the young man in the red coat with the word "volunteer" printed in bright yellow The girl jumped out again.

She opened her arms wide and bravely stood in front of the statue of the City God like an old hen guarding its cubs. Her pretty face was full of unyielding, and she closed her eyes and shouted loudly: "Hero, spare your life!!!"

The tinkle of the copper ring stagnated, and Hong Yao held the knife firmly, her tone was ruthless, and the content was very caring: "Get out of the way, be careful not to lose your soul."

The girl trembled all over, and her feet moved a small step to the side honestly, but rationally she still wanted to rescue her again, so after struggling for a few seconds, she tried to figure it out.

"This hero... the Town God's Temple is a landmark building in Beijing, a well-known tourist attraction, and an important Taoist temple. It was built in the first year of the Rong Dynasty. It has a thousand-year history and has great—"

"I know." Hong Yao interrupted her science introduction.

Failing to reason, the girl tried to empathize: "I, I, I am just a temporary worker in Chenghuang Temple! If the statue collapses in front of me, I will be expelled, fined, and blacklisted! These days It's not easy to find a job and earn a living! Heroes have pity on me!"

One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds... There is a play!

The dark sword was slowly lowered, and the girl's beautiful big eyes were full of the joy of surviving after the catastrophe...

Then she heard the person in front of her say loudly: "Do you want to work in my incense candle shop?"

girl:"???"

Although she hadn't figured out what was going on with this sudden invitation to join the job, she understood another more important and urgent matter - the black sword hadn't been put down...he just held it in another hand.

Holding a big knife, Hong Yao decided to speak more clearly: "I run a incense candle shop, the kind of incense candles I just lit. Recently, the business in the store is good and there are a lot of orders, and another employee I am optimistic about has not died yet, so There is a little shortage of manpower. Do you want to come to work?"

Pei, an employee who is not yet dead, Ci: "..."

I'm really sorry, it's all because of my tenacious will to survive.

"Thank you...thank you...but it's not enough, I think the work of the Town God's Temple is pretty good."

Hong Yao frowned, unable to understand: "Don't you like that fragrance very much? Why did you refuse it when you smoked it so fast just now?"

After hearing Hong Yao's words, the girl was instantly embarrassed: "You can see it..."

What!Such a beautiful and kind girl is actually a ghost? !Fang Chong rubbed his eyes in shock. Why didn't he find out that the eyes opened by Boss Hong had expired?

Fang Chong's expression was so easy to understand, Pei Ci said, "I didn't see it either."

The implication is not that there is something wrong with the eyes Boss Hong gave him, but that this girl is not simple.

The pretty girl scratched her head embarrassingly, and introduced herself: "My name is Li Wu, and I am an intern ghost official of the Onmyoji Division under the City God of Shangjing."

Hong Yao looked up at the tall and majestic statue of the City God behind Li Wu, and said bluntly: "There is no City God here at all, so there is nothing to practice."

It was discovered...

Li Wu was even more embarrassed when his work unit was directly exposed. He could only reluctantly express his determination: "Although there is no leader, as a member of the Town God's Temple, I still have to respect and love my post! Be loyal to my duty! Work hard!"

What a wonderful staff, it's a pity they belong to someone else.Hong Yao sighed inwardly, then took out a small red ball from the cloth bag, and said, "Since there is no City God in the Temple of the City God, then I will talk to you."

"Here are twelve ghost colleagues of yours. They illegally formed the Changqing Self-Government Team to bully the ghost people in Changqing Cemetery all the year round, extorting large sums of ghost coins and embezzling countless incense shrouds..."

At the end, Hong Yao paused and added another sentence: "It also seriously affected the business of my incense candle shop."

"How should this situation be handled according to the law of the underworld? Are there any compensation measures?"

Li Wu took a look to see what he had gone through, and now he couldn't see the twelve groups of ghosts curled up in the ball half-dead in the prototype, and looked at it with a calm face, as if he just brought twelve pieces of garbage to the scrap yard , looking forward to selling red medicine at a good price according to recycling...

Be good, another violent beauty!
