After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld

Following Yao Gou, they walked slowly to the back mountain.

A stone path winds its way up the hill, submerged in a sea of ​​trees.

The stone road has been taken care of for many years, and there is no moss at all.The mountain is not high, and the trees are far from the barbaric growth of Wanming Mountain. Many of them are fruit trees.Some of the fruit had been knocked off by the rain and fell to the ground, rotting with the leaves.

When going up the mountain, Yao Gou had a big belly and was panting from exhaustion, and soon his back was soaked.

Wiping his sweat, he said, "Well, this is the second time I've come here today. I haven't exercised that much in a long time. They have to pay me more."

Lu Yingjiu just laughed: "It's always good to exercise. Didn't you always climb trees before?"

Yao Gou in the past was a nimble little fat man.

Climbing over walls, climbing fruit trees, catching fish by the river... I remember that Yao Gou was riding a small bicycle back and forth on the side of the road for three or four times.

Lu Yingjiu was not so active. When Yao Gou was running wildly on his bicycle, he was sitting on the wall, eating wild fruits with his head propped up. Yao Gou stopped after a while, and then he said slowly, big dog Ah, do you know that you rode all the way with a hanged man on your back.

Yao Gou was frightened for a moment, and quickly asked Lu Yingjiu to help exorcise the ghost.

Unexpectedly, now, Yao Gou's physical fitness is worse than before, probably because the life is too moist.

"You don't know," Yao Gou sighed and rubbed his belly, "I always fantasize that if I drive out ghosts one day and accidentally fall into a ravine, it will all depend on my body fat I stockpiled food during the war. If I am unlucky and run into some tigress’ lair, I will also do good deeds, and this body is enough for their family to eat.”

Lu Yingjiu laughed.

Yao Gou praised his fatness again, then changed the subject and asked, "By the way, how is your ghost office?"

"The situation is more complicated." Lu Yingjiu said, "Compared to an office, it is actually closer to a bar now."

He told Yao Gou about the Luying bar, and said that the waiter was rescued from the mountains by them, and the bartender was his childhood friend who gave up his burden instead of being a ghost exorcist. scraped together.

"Oh," Yao Gou looked at Jing Xian again, "Then how do I remember, you said that Master Jing is an intern?"

Lu Yingjiu forgot about this, and replied: "Yes, he is an intern."

Yao Gou hesitated to speak.

After wiping his sweat twice more, he quietly approached and asked, "How much do you pay as an intern at your firm?"

Lu Yingjiu thought about it again.

What was the monthly salary he told Jing Xian at that time?Five thousand?Six thousand?

He seems to have never really given it to him. He is simply a black-hearted boss who makes Jing Xian do free work every day.

Lu Yingjiu looked at Jing Xian.

Jing Xian immediately understood what he meant, and replied to Yao Gou: "Six thousand a month, and [-] thousand after becoming a full-time employee. There is a commission for entrusting."

Lu Yingjiu thought to himself, he remembers it very clearly.

Yao Gou's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "My big dog has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and I have seen countless people. I think the future of your firm is immeasurable! So is your firm still recruiting people?"

"Considering." Lu Yingjiu replied truthfully.

Yao Gou patted his chest and said: "Then if you are ready to recruit people, you must find me. I can't do anything else, and my ability to find commissions is first-rate. Every customer who has met me can't say no, that's a shame. If you have a good tongue, you are guaranteed to have a lot of money. If you really can’t, it’s not a loss to let me out as a mascot, isn’t it... well, the front is coming!"

Lu Yingjiu looked forward, and sure enough, he saw several roofs amidst the greenery.

Before he got close, he felt the power of the talisman paper.

The talisman enveloped this large area, with such a strong aura that all kinds of ghosts and monsters dared not approach it.

No matter who arranged it, the level must be very high.

Walking in again, four temples appeared in front of the three of them.

Among them, the most central temple is the largest and most gorgeous, and its height is two or three times that of other temples, while the other three temples surround it and surround it like stars and moons.

The roof is made of tiles of different colors, which are laid finely and delicately.

The tiles of the temple in the middle are colored glaze, reflecting the light in the sun, almost crystal clear.At both ends of the ridge are copper birds—these are two peacocks, one spreading its wings to fly, and the other looking back at the mountain, with its slender tail feathers drooping down, lifelike.

Lu Yingjiu knew at a glance that this must be the work of the Chu family.

This is a temple dedicated to the peacock god.

And it is not old, it is estimated that it has not been repaired for many years.

In the other three temples, the tiles have different colors. The black tiles look like the scales of a giant snake, the red tiles seem to be burning, and the orange tiles are dazzling.On the eaves are also peacocks spreading their wings.

"That's right here," Yao Gouwei panted, "Go a little further and you'll see the old Xitang."

Lu Yingjiu looked at the building in front of him and asked, "Why is there a peacock temple here?"

"Damn, it's not the people from the Chu family who did it." Yao Gou said, "I asked around, and everyone said that it was the ghost exorcist who came here before who asked them to repair it. After repairing it, it turned out that the Fengshui in the village It’s getting better, look, how rich their village is now, and everyone drives BMWs and Mercedes-Benz. I want to build such a temple in my house.”

Lu Yingjiu remembered that Boss Tan had also told him that a ghost exorcist named Chu had visited the village before.

Come to think of it, he was the one who built the temple.

Yao Gou urged again: "Let's hurry up to Xitang. In this hot weather, if I stand for a while, I will suffer from heat stroke. You two may not be able to lift me up."

Lu Yingjiu said, "I want to go into the temple and take a look."

Yao Gou was stunned: "It's okay, it's okay. It's cool in the temple, and I just took a break from the meeting."

The three of them went up the long stairs in front of the main temple step by step.

The gate is closed tightly, and it is five or six meters high, engraved with a relief of a peacock spreading its wings and about to fly.

The door was not locked, Lu Yingjiu pushed it lightly, and the heavy door was pushed open by him as if it had no weight, and cool, fragrant air gushed out from behind the door.

There was talisman paper on the door, and when it was pushed open, bright lights lit up in front of them, illuminating the many peacock bronze statues neatly arranged around them, which were in various poses and with different expressions, and were extremely gorgeous.Incense burners are placed at the four corners, from which the light incense comes out.

In the middle of the temple is a huge peacock statue.

The sparkling diamonds and the metal reflecting the fire are all in sight, with a strong impact.

The peacock's eyes are inlaid with golden gemstones, and the pupils are bright. The huge tail feathers are composed of gold and emerald green, spread out in a space of nearly ten meters, leaving no gaps, and gorgeously crashing into the visitor's field of vision.Each feather is carved with fine lines and hollows, which is extremely fine.

At first glance, it seems that the peacock god really came to the world, showing his wings to his heart's content.

There is also an altar under the peacock god, on which some fruits and bouquets are placed.

It should have been put up by the villagers.

Lu Yingjiu thought, no wonder the Peacock God dreamed of this place.

If someone worships it here for a long time, it is quite normal for it to have such a dream.

The reason why he wanted to come in was to see if the temple had been defiled, which shattered the dream.

As a result, he looked around and found nothing abnormal, nor did he notice Yin Qi.

Everything is terribly normal.

Lu Yingjiu asked Jingxian again in a low voice: "Can you notice, is there anything wrong here?"

Jing Xian shook his head: "No."

Lu Yingjiu asked again: "Did you know the Peacock God in the ghost world?"

Jing Xian still replied: "I don't know."

There are [-] floors up and down in the ghost world, and there are simply too many strange ghosts. It is really impossible for Jing Xian to have seen and recognized all of them.

But Lu Yingjiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, he was really afraid that Jing Xian would suddenly say, "Yes, I even fed it skulls."

Yao Gou touched the golden pillar next to him, and said with emotion: "Look at you, I said that Lintian Village is very rich. That was more than ten years ago! Such a big temple, one repair That’s four. And they don’t know how to exorcise ghosts at all, and they don’t even know whose priest it is, so they pray to Tiantian, and it’s actually effective.”

Lu Yingjiu looked around and said, "Let's go to the other three temples."

The three went to other temples for a walk.

Although the size of these three temples has been reduced by nearly half, they are still gorgeously decorated, and many tributes are also placed.

On their murals, peacocks and ghost exorcisers are painted with gold brushes—the ghost exorcists should all be the ancestors of the Chu family, and the peacocks either fly around them or perch on their shoulders.

To the third temple.

The murals inside are different from other styles, as if they are depicting a short story.

In the beginning, it was a gray wasteland, a peacock was wearily curled up on the ground wet by the rain, blood spread around it.

Jing Xian asked Lu Yingjiu: "Is this the legend of the exorcist family?"

Lu Yingjiu took a look and said, "Yes, it's the story of the bond between the Chu family and the Peacock God."

He pointed to the first picture: "The Chu family is actually the earliest family to make contracts with ghosts and gods. Hundreds of years ago, there was a ghost exorcist named Chu Qianju in the Chu family who was wandering in the wilderness. Peacock."

"The peacock's body was bursting with yin, and it looked like a ghost. But Chu Qianju couldn't bear it, so he rescued it and brought it home to heal his injuries."

The next picture shows a peacock perched on Chu Qianju's shoulder, seeming to be talking in his ear.

Lu Yingjiu continued to explain: "After the injury was healed, the peacock uttered words and said that he would repay Chu Qianyu. So they formed a contract - the power of ghosts and gods in the world will be weakened, and priests will not Dare to come into the world easily. But since then, they have begun to lend their power to humans, allowing them to benefit from it, and they themselves have gained more power from the contract."

"However, there is a very big problem with the runes used to sign the contract. At that time, the exorcism technique was immature. When inviting the gods, the exorcist's physical burden was very heavy."

"Chu Qianju suffered a backlash from God, and passed away very early. Moreover, it is said that the curse that followed made him unable to go to the next life forever, and could only live the same short life in reincarnation again and again."

"Of course that curse is just a legend. No one can prove it. I also tend to think it is fiction."

"In short, with the blessing of the Peacock God, the Chu family became the first family to rise, and gradually developed its own system of exorcising ghosts until today."

Jing Xian listened intently, then continued to look up, watching countless colorful murals spread on the wall, telling countless stories of the past.

The other murals are all about the Chu family and the Peacock God.

Lu Yingjiu probably knew all about it, so he didn't take a closer look.

It's just that it's rare for him to see that Jing Xian is very interested in one thing, anyway, if he's not in a hurry, he will watch it slowly with him.

Jing Xian stretched out his hand and pointed to a mural: "What is this?"

Lu Yingjiu replied: "This is the ancestors of the Chu family worshiping the Tao of Heaven and the Peacock God."

Jing Xian asked again: "Then these are all their talisman papers?"

Lu Yingjiu: "Yes, many runes were invented by the Chu family."

"What is this painting about, an earthquake?"

"Well, there happened to be an earthquake when they worshiped, so they took the earthquake as the wrath of heaven, and punished them..."

Jing Xian nodded, walked forward again, and suddenly stood still.

After a few seconds, he asked, "What is this?"

Lu Yingjiu leaned over: "Oh, this is..."

He also paused.

This time on the mural, a handsome man appeared.

On the forehead of the man, there are a few pieces of green peacock feathers, and his eyes are green like jewels.

He was sitting lazily, wearing a long golden dress with a wide open neckline, shining pendants on his wrists and neck, and surrounded by brilliant feathers, his whole body was full of casual and gorgeous feeling.It's like an old prince or nobleman, or a beautiful peacock.

Lu Ying paused for a few seconds.

He tried his best to search for this information from his memory, and after a while, he said, "This... this seems to be the appearance of the Peacock God. It can be transformed into a human."

He added: "I rarely hear people from the Chu family mention it. But since it is painted in the temple, it should be real."

Jing Xian pointed to the next picture: "What about this one?"

Lu Yingjiu didn't look away for a while, and looked at the Peacock God a few more times, thinking that he looks good, much better than other vicious priests.

Then he reacted and went to the next one.

The next mural also uses strong colors and delicate lines.

Two men were kissing on top.

Lu Yingjiu:? ? ?

His first reaction was that after Jingxian's tireless brainwashing, he was finally infected, his mind was full of pornographic thoughts, and he could see even the solemn murals as wrong.

But when he took a closer look, the two were still as close as glue, inseparable.

The artist obviously has a deep understanding of the people in the kiss, and the expressions on their faces are vividly drawn, and the hands of each other are still in a bad place.

Lu Yingjiu was stunned on the spot.

The Chu family...the Chu family still have the hobby of painting such plots on murals? !

It wouldn't be some brat who scribbled on it!

Jing Xian was very interested in this mural, looked at it for a while, and said, "Why do I think these two people, one looks like Chu Qianju and the other looks like that peacock god."

Lu Yingjiu: "Ah?" His first reaction was to deny it, after all, it was too outrageous, "Isn't it possible... I've never heard the Chu family say it. Besides, how could the two of them get mixed up?" go?"

Jing Xian said: "Think about it, doesn't this kind of plot often appear in novels, where a person promises his savior with his body. Isn't it normal for Chu Qianju to save the Peacock God, and the Peacock God promises him with his body?"

Lu Yingjiu said, "I don't think it's very normal..."

He held his forehead, and then looked at the mural, which was placed in the middle of the entire wall, which was quite sacred.

He has not yet come out of the shock of "a serious mural suddenly turned into a same-sex love story", and he heard Jing Xian look forward to saying: "I will also paint our love story in my temple in the future, for sure. very touching."

Lu Yingjiu:? ? ?

Lu Yingjiu said: "No, you must never put the stick figure on it again."

He imagined that other people's murals are full of forceful styles, and Jing Xian's four walls will be full of stickman love stories, which is simply terrifying.

Anyway, Jing Xian really liked the mural so much, he just stared at it, planning something in his mind.

Lu Yingjiu hurriedly pulled him away and said, "Don't look at it, don't look at it, why do you like this kind of thing all day long? Let me tell you, some brat must have drawn it on it, the two of them... What is it called, doujintu? Or the craftsmen who drew the pictures couldn’t tell the difference between the official history and the unofficial history, and put the rumors of unofficial history on it.”

Jing Xian said: "It must be true."

"Fake, fake." Lu Yingjiu said, "Fake."

After finally pulling Jing Xian away, the more Lu Yingjiu thought about it, the more something was wrong, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the mural was outrageous.

He really doesn't believe in evil, so he must ask clearly to find out if there is a misunderstanding.

The dream of the Peacock God happened to be shattered here...

If it's because of this painting, it's possible.

After all, a straight man, a straight ghost, and a straight priest shouldn't dream of being violent with another man—for Peacock, this must be a nightmare.

So he turned around and took pictures of the mural, sent it to Chu Banyang, and asked him: 【Is this true?This is Chu Qianju and your Peacock God? 】

[Your temple shouldn't be graffitied, right? 】

Chu Banyang quickly responded.

[Inputting...] is displayed on his dialog box

【Entering...】

【Entering...】

Lu Yingjiu waited for a long time, but Chu Banyang was still typing, so he sent [? 】past.

This time Chu Banyang finally replied.

Only two words.

【real】

At the end, I added: [Actually, it’s not hard to accept, I have a cousin, and some relatives, it seems that they have written some novels about them...]

【In short, the broken dream is definitely not because of this】

【For the Peacock God, this should be a sweet dream...】

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

After drinking the divine water from the Chu family, he became a monk immediately after drinking it.

The ancestors of the Chu family were all lying in the family bucket urn.

The ghosts and gods of the Chu family not only have sex with the contractor, but also have murals and strange fanfiction!

What is going on with this family? !

The author has something to say: Jing Xian: Heartbeat!I will do this in the temple in the future too!
