apprentice earth god

For a real earth temple, the first step is to have the land god settle in, which is the real earth temple.

Although being settled is not the same as staying in, as long as there is spiritual consciousness.

But Du Jiaoyang didn't have such advanced skills as divine consciousness, so he could only move in directly to make the whole land temple "live" first.

Qi Xiumei has retired now, and after dealing with the house, she couldn't wait to find Du Quanfu.

Although Du Quanfu usually wanders outside, the husband and wife are rarely separated for such a long time.

Even though Du Jiaoyang often couldn't find his father, as long as Qi Xiumei called, his father never failed to answer. Du Jiaoyang felt that he was an accident.

"You take care of yourself here, and the house over there is ready. You can go home and have a look when you are free. No matter where our home is, it is your home."

Before Qi Xiumei got into the car, she held Du Jiaoyang's hand and said.

Du Jiaoyang nodded, his eyes were a little red.

Mom meant to tell him that even if he couldn't get along here, there was still a place for him to stay.

Just like when he entered the entertainment industry before, he has been told that no matter what happens outside, as long as he returns home, he can live in peace of mind.

"But this time I think it's reliable. Your earth temple is really well built. Work hard. Mom is very optimistic about you!"

Qi Xiumei compared Du Jiaoyang's feelings in the way of young people.

Du Jiaoyang laughed: "Mom, you have to take good care of yourself over there, and tell Dad to be careful too."

"Understood, you are the same. Okay, I'm getting in the car, and it's not a long way to go. It's a joke for me to be so greasy."

After Qi Xiumei finished speaking, she got in the car and left.

Originally, Du Jiaoyang also wanted to drive Qi Xiumei there, and he also wanted to see how Du Quanfu was doing there.

But the old couple insisted on finishing the house over there first, so as not to have to find a place for him to live in the past, which was too troublesome.

Du Jiaoyang felt that this reason was too bad, but he could only obey when he was strongly rejected.

He was indeed very busy here, so he didn't insist anymore, he could only tell Qi Xiumei to tell him if there was something to do.

"Jiaoyang, are you moving away now?" A voice sounded behind Du Jiaoyang.

Du Jiaoyang turned his head and saw the smiling Aunt Wang, who was also Wu Hongfei's mother.

"Yes, Aunt Wang. My parents said that the old-age care there is good, so they all passed."

"They are willing to leave our old neighbors!" Aunt Wang sighed, and then changed the topic.

"But your parents are right. The air over there is much better than here. It's better to live in that kind of place for the elderly. I heard from your mother that you can grow your own vegetables."

"Yeah, when our house over there is finished, you can often go there to play."

Aunt Wang responded again and again, and then asked: "I heard your mother said that you don't act anymore? Where do you work now?"

"I'm currently working in a land temple in Hongxian County. It's a 10-minute drive past Xi Village. That mountain is the highest in that area, and it's easy to recognize. Aunt Wang also goes there to burn incense when she is free. .”

Du Jiaoyang's sincere invitation, the real earth temple must have incense!

Aunt Wang's expression suddenly froze, with a look of disbelief, she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

"Okay, okay...it's a good job."

"Jiao Yang, are you working in the temple?" An old lady listened to them and came over to chat.

Du Jiaoyang smiled very sincerely: "Yes, Grandma Fang, you can go there to play when you have time. The air is good there, and the road is almost repaired now. It's good for you to climb the mountain and enjoy the beautiful scenery."

"The land temple was approved by the state. It is a regular temple, not a random one."

"Oh, then you're a state establishment? It's a good job, and you have an iron rice bowl! I heard that the current monks are all graduating from college, and the benefits are very good."

Although Du Jiaoyang only advertised to two people, he believed that it didn't take long for the neighbors in this area to basically know that he was working in an earth temple.

Living in the Earth Temple, Du Jiaoyang felt the beauty of this house even more, and gained the long-lost tranquility.

In that small house before, even if there were no noisy children upstairs, because of the dense population, there would be other noisy sounds.

Now, sitting on the tatami at night and looking at the stars outside the window, you can start a game to fight when you are bored. The kitchen is full of all kinds of food, calm and leisurely, a real fairy day.

However, Du Jiaoyang was not immersed in ease because of this, and soon worried about the future development of the Earth Temple.

"Without fame and incense, my earth temple still has no soul."

He can't go to the street to distribute leaflets for publicity, and it's not easy to be seen in this mountain, and his neighbors won't come here to burn incense for a while.

"Hey, worry."

Du Jiaoyang drank a big mouthful of homemade grass-burning milk tea, which was made when Qi Xiumei came to start the fire for the new stove.

"Master, don't worry, we've only moved in for a few days, and it's normal for no one to know."

Lao Zhou was fighting on the computer, and he still didn't forget to pay attention to Du Jiaoyang's movements.

Now there are only one of them and one ghost in the temple. If there is no sound, the whole earth temple will be a little scary.

Those dozen or so ghosts are not qualified to live in the Earth Temple, and they can also enjoy themselves outside, although there is nothing to enjoy now.

"Hey, but the Great God may not be able to wait."

Lao Zhou immediately stopped what he was doing, completely ignoring the roar of his teammates in the earphones, and said righteously:

"Master, we must quickly think of a way!"

Du Jiaoyang was taken aback by the sudden roar: "Don't be surprised."

"Master, you are so smart, you will definitely be able to solve this problem." Old Zhou smiled fawningly.

Du Jiaoyang really remembered what to do after being told this, and hurried to the room to take out the computer issued by the special department:

"I'm also stupid. I've been thinking about such a simple thing for a long time! I'll see if there is any task to ask someone to exorcise evil spirits. I will help him. Let him come over to burn incense and make a wish later."

Lao Zhou raised his thumb and blew rainbow fart with a serious face: "Master, clever!"

Du Jiaoyang felt that his IQ was corrupted by this kind of sugar-coated bullet.

One person and one ghost were looking for the target seriously, when there was a sound at the door, accompanied by a small gust of wind.

Du Jiaoyang was taken aback: "Could it be a ghost this late at night?"

Old Zhou Yi looked at Du Jiaoyang dully, pointed at himself, and pointed at the clay sculpture of the land god in the front hall.

Du Jiaoyang gave a fake cough to cover up his embarrassment.

"Go and see what's going on."

Lao Zhou went out and soon brought back a woman in her 30s, no, it was a female ghost.

She exuded an uncomfortable aura, indicating that she had done something against the rules.

But there is no unpleasant hostility, the whole person is very peaceful, but with deep sadness.

The entire soul is already very weak, and it is likely to be wiped out at any time.

"Hi, hello." The female ghost seemed a little timid.

"Is something wrong with you?"

Du Jiaoyang quickly entered the role, completely unaware that he was afraid of ghosts just now.

The female ghost looked hesitant and faltered for a long time without saying a complete sentence.

"Speak up if you have something to say, don't talk about it." Lao Zhou said impatiently.

Du Jiaoyang shook his head at Lao Zhou: "You can find me so quickly, the matter should be urgent, do you want time to be wasted on your hesitation?"

The Earth Temple has just been completed, no matter whether it is in the Yang world or the Yin world, it is not well-known.

But it will be much better in the underworld, the ghosts will feel where the Earth Temple is, but it is not easy to find it at first.

The female ghost bit her lower lip, and finally said: "I, I have a daughter, I hope you can help her."

"Your daughter? Is she still alive?"

The female ghost nodded again and again, talking about her daughter, she spoke more and more smoothly, with a faint light on her face.

"My daughter is Xin Tiantian. She is five years old this year. She is a very cute little girl. She has been very obedient and considerate since she was a child. She has a cheerful and lively personality and is very sensible. It's just..."

The female ghost's expression became sad: "It's just that she has been blind since she was a child."

Du Jiaoyang frowned, feeling very sorry to hear such a thing.

"What do you want me to do for her?"

"I want her to be able to see, like a normal child, how beautiful the world is."

"Uh..." Du Jiaoyang had a troubled expression on his face, he didn't expect that the first commission after the opening of the Earth Temple would be so difficult.

"Sorry, I don't have such great ability."

"No, no, I'm not asking you to restore her eyesight. She can be cured. Her father is ready to operate on her."

Du Jiaoyang was puzzled: "Isn't that the solution? Or do you want me to bless her with a successful operation? This is beyond my control."

"But she doesn't want to."

"Ah?" Du Jiaoyang was stunned, "Who doesn't want to?"

"My daughter, she doesn't want to have this operation, and she ran away from home because of it."

Du Jiaoyang couldn't understand it anymore. Are there people in this world who are unwilling to recover their eyesight?

Although five years old is very young, but he also understands some things. Such a big child should be very eager for the outside world.And not seeing brings a lot of inconvenience in life, how can there be children who do not look forward to the light.

"Why? Do you think the operation fee is too high, and you don't want Dad to bear such a great pressure?"

This was the only reason Du Jiaoyang could think of. Although some children were young, they were very sensible.

"There are reasons for this, but it's not the most important." The female ghost pursed her lips, and it took a long time before she spoke, "She wanted to see me."

"Huh?" Du Jiaoyang was stunned.

Lao Zhou explained: "Some people are born with ghost eyes. Some of these people can only see ghosts, but not human things. Once they can see human things, they can no longer see ghosts."

Du Jiaoyang had heard of it in ghost stories before, but this was the first time he saw it in reality.

"Yes, my daughter is born with ghost eyes, and she can only see me."

Du Jiaoyang sighed deeply, and now he understood why that little girl made such a choice.

I would rather lose the light in front of my eyes, but also see my mother by my side, I don't want to lose my mother.

"Your soul seems to have been wandering for a long time, why is it still here? You should know that it is very bad for you to stay here for a long time."

Although it was cruel, Du Jiaoyang wanted to remind him.

"I can't help it either, I just hope to watch my daughter grow up safely." The female ghost couldn't help sobbing.

"I died because of bleeding during childbirth. I just took one look at my daughter and passed away. It was not easy for me to conceive this child. When she was in my womb, I thought every day what she would look like when she came out. .I miss her so much, I just want to take a look at her a few more times, and I'll leave after I'm done."

"But she is still so young. She lost her mother when she was born. It's really pitiful. I couldn't help but stay for a few more days. I didn't expect her to see me when she was very young!"

"As long as I'm here, she won't cry, and she can hear me singing and smile sweetly at me."

The female ghost said with a happy smile on her face, making it hard to bear to let it disappear.

"I just thought, I'll stay for a while, just for a while. But I didn't expect to hear the doctor say that there is a problem with her eyes, and she may not be able to see in the future. But if the operation can be performed, there is still a chance hope of recovery."

"Hearing such words, I am even more worried. My husband and I are not in good financial conditions, and there is no one in the family who can help us. We don't have that much money. My husband needs to leave early and return late every day in order to save for surgery fees." I can't take care of my daughter at all because of my job."

"He can only find someone to help, but he doesn't have much money to hire someone who is too good. Those people don't care at all. They don't care if my daughter is sick or hungry, and even secretly deducted my daughter's milk powder. Under such circumstances, as a A mother, how could I leave."

The female ghost was indignant, with hostility in her eyes.

Du Jiaoyang could understand her anger. Let alone her as a mother, he, the listener, also wanted to scold people. Those who did this would be too beastly.

"So you possessed the nanny's body?" Lao Zhou interrupted suddenly.

"I don't want to do it either, but she's too much! My daughter was crying because she was hungry and her diaper was full of poop, and she was so impatient that she wanted to hit my daughter!"

Du Jiaoyang saw the female ghost's eyeballs turn white quickly, and quickly patted her on the shoulder.

With a flick of her head, the female ghost regained her senses, with an apologetic expression on her face.

"I'm sorry, I can't help myself when I talk about this."

Although Du Jiaoyang has no children, he can still understand this feeling, and he would do it no matter what the price.

"Do you often do this? It's understandable that time, what happened at other times? You've been backlashed to the point where you're about to lose your soul."

The female ghost was almost invisible, but her strong obsession made her persist.

Normally, it is not easy for a ghost to stay in the world, let alone such a difficult action as possession.

This female ghost has existed in this way for five years. Du Jiaoyang can only lament the greatness of a mother's love for such a miracle to occur.

"I didn't!" the female ghost quickly defended, "I only do it when they want to hurt my daughter, usually I can't do anything about it, and the time is very short."

When the female ghost said this, there was disappointment in her tone.

The chances of her being possessed are very few, and the time is also very short.I couldn't feel my daughter's body temperature and smell well, so I was forced to leave.

Du Jiaoyang said: "You should be thankful that you don't have too many opportunities, otherwise it will not only be good for yourself, but also for your daughter."

The female ghost was stunned: "I, I just want to protect her, I don't want to hurt her."

"Of course I believe in you, but sometimes some harm can't be avoided because of your subjective wishes. If you stay by her side like this, it will also affect her."

To leave is to leave, no matter how reluctant you are, this is an unchangeable fact.

The reason why human life is so precious is that it is impossible to delete and start over, so we must cherish it while we are alive.

The departure of the female ghost is a pity, but there is nothing I can do about it.

The female ghost lowered her head, and the whole ghost was filled with disappointment. When she raised her head again, she obviously relaxed a lot.

"I understand that now is indeed the time for me to leave. I have earned money by being with her for so long. Now I just hope that she can undergo surgery and accept the fact that I am leaving."

Saying that, the female ghost began to choke up again.

Du Jiaoyang sighed deeply, he didn't expect that the next commission from Earth Temple would be so helpless.

No matter which choice you choose, there is no way to be perfect.

He understands the helplessness of the female ghost and also understands why the little girl made such a choice, not a simple judgment of right or wrong.

"Okay, I will accept your request, and I will try my best to help you fulfill your last wish."

"Thank you, thank you! Tian Tian is very good, as long as you can persuade her well, she will definitely agree." The female ghost sighed deeply.

"I also persuaded her, but I dare not say more, she will feel that I want to abandon her.

Her father found a woman he liked again. She was still young and naive, and felt that her father would not want her if he had a new wife. She was very sensitive to such things.She became very insecure, so..."

Du Jiaoyang suddenly felt dizzy, such a thing is really not as simple as exorcising evil spirits directly.

Before, his idea of ​​building the Earth Temple was very simple, just to install a net for the great god. Although he knew that he had to shoulder the responsibility, he still didn't care much.

Now that I really face it, I find that the things I have to deal with are much more troublesome than I imagined, and I can't avoid them.

Who told him to be the god of the land? You can't shrink back when encountering difficulties.

The next day, under the guidance of the female ghost, Du Jiaoyang came to the small garden where Xin Tiantian would come to bask in the sun every morning.

Du Jiaoyang was thinking about how to get close to this little girl, because he was worried that Xin Tiantian would reject him if he knew it was called by the female ghost, so he didn't let the female ghost introduce her.

But the girl came over and stood in front of Du Jiaoyang with a puzzled expression.

"elder brother?"

Du Jiaoyang was surprised: "Can you see me?"

Xin Tiantian shook his head, then nodded again.

"I can't see you, but I can feel you, it's amazing! This is the first time I've met someone like you."

Xin Tiantian's voice is just like her name, sweet and soft.

As the female ghost said, Xin Tiantian is a very beautiful little girl, with neatly combed hair and a clean body, very pleasing.

If you don't pay attention to observation, you will never think that this lovely girl is blind.

"Really?" Du Jiaoyang probably guessed the reason, "Little friend, what's your name? You can call me Brother Yangyang."

"Brother Yangyang, my name is Tian Tian. Brother Yangyang, why are you different from others?"

Du Jiaoyang smiled: "Maybe I'm handsome, so I have a strong sense of presence."

"Handsome? What does it look like?"

"Handsome is good-looking, just like you, Tian Tian."

"Am I pretty?"

"Yes, do you want to see what you look like?"

Xin Tiantian wanted to nod, but quickly realized that he shook his head.

"Do not want to."

"Why……"

"Tian Tian!" A woman ran over, holding Xin Tiantian in her arms anxiously, and looked at Du Jiaoyang warily.

"Why are you running around? Didn't I tell you to play over there and don't run around? What if you are caught by bad guys?"

"Sister Butterfly, I didn't run around, I'm talking to brother Yangyang here." Xin Tiantian explained seriously.

"And the bad guys can't catch me, I have my mother to protect me. My mother is amazing, she can scare the bad guys away!"

Hu Jieyu, the girl Xin Tiantian called Sister Butterfly, frowned slightly when she heard this.

Du Jiaoyang smiled gently: "I just sat here for a while, the kid came to talk to me by himself, I didn't do anything."

"Sorry, I didn't target you..." Hu Jieyu also realized that she was too nervous.

This is the small garden they often come to. It's all neighbors here. The children are just scattered like this. The adults can just watch from a distance, and nothing will happen.

Everyone knows Xin Tiantian and will help take care of her.

"It's okay, you are right to be careful." Du Jiaoyang smiled indifferently.

He knew this girl through the female ghost. She is Xin Tiantian's current nanny. She has been taking care of Xin Tiantian for more than a year, and she is the longest.

She is different from the previous nannies who had more or less problems. After the female ghost's observation, she is a very kind and responsible girl.

During the time she was taking care of Xin Tiantian, she had always been very attentive to Xin Tiantian, and she would not neglect Xin Tiantian because his father was not around and Xin Tiantian couldn't see him.

At this moment, Xin Tiantian said like a little adult: "Sister Butterfly, go get busy, I want to play with my brother here."

"I……"

Xin Tiantian had a straight face, as if he was not negotiable.

Hu Jieyu had no choice but to say: "I'll watch over there, if you're thirsty or want to play something else, just call me."

After Hu Jieyu left, Xin Tiantian stretched out his little hand and asked:

"Bro, can I touch you?"

"Sure." Du Jiaoyang put his face next to her little hand.

Xin Tiantian's small hands slowly touched Du Jiaoyang's face, describing his facial features bit by bit.

"Brother, I can also know what you look like! My little hand will tell me." Xin Tiantian was full of confidence.

"You didn't lie to me, you are very handsome! You are only a little worse than my father."

"Tian Tian is amazing! You can tell my face with your hands."

Xin Tiantian was proud: "Of course! I'm smart."

"Really? How smart are you?" Du Jiaoyang teased her.

Xin Tiantian kept a small face and looked proud:

"Yes, I know that my father is secretly in love with Sister Butterfly, and they all think I don't know."

Du Jiaoyang was extremely surprised, the female ghost had also told him about this before.

Because of this, the female ghost is willing to let go even though she is reluctant.

In fact, she knew very well in her heart that she had many disadvantages in taking care of the child in this way, and it might be detrimental to the child's growth.

In the past, it was helpless or reluctant, but now there is a nice girl who can help take care of her children, and she no longer has no reliable people to take care of her like before.

The child has another chance to recover his eyesight, and the child should return to real life.

See the light and play like more kids his age.

It's not because her eyes are invisible, which limits her activities and makes her unable to experience many interesting things in this world.

What's more, she herself couldn't hold on any longer.

Because Xin Tiantian strongly opposed this kind of thing before, everyone also tacitly kept it from her and dared not tell her the truth.

"How did you know?"

Xin Tiantian spread his hands, with an expression of nothing special.

"Because I'm the smartest kid. Although I can't see with my eyes, I can see clearly with my heart."

"Then can you guess who I am?"

Xin Tiantian paused, his small face collapsed, and he pursed his lips with a sad and nervous expression:

"Brother Yangyang, are you here to take my mother away?"
