After bankruptcy, I became a new city god

Facing the man's ridicule, Qi Ducheng felt ashamed for a moment.

He didn't become the City God voluntarily, and he didn't even have training for the post, so why did he mock him!

But the other party had just saved his life, and although the methods were a bit cruel, Qi Ducheng didn't bother to quarrel with the other party, and could only say sullenly: "Yes, yes, yes, I am not skilled in business, did you come here to mock me specially? "

Immediately afterwards, he only felt his neckline tighten, and was picked up by the man!The opponent's hands are so strong that one hand can lift his feet off the ground like grabbing a chicken.

Qidu City: "?!!"

"What are you doing! Speak well if you have something to say, don't pinch people at every turn—!!"

"Don't make noise." The man frowned, and explained impatiently, "Take you back to the Town God's Temple."

Then before Qi Ducheng could react, the man carried him a step forward, but it was only a step away, but Qi Ducheng felt the foreground objects passing by like floating shadows, making him dizzy.

Finally, when he got used to it, he and the man had already stopped at the Town God's Temple in the suburbs.

Qi Ducheng was stunned, looking at the man with a trace of admiration unavoidably.

"That was a spell just now? Flying the clouds and riding the fog?" I have to say, this is still very novel to Qidu City who has just accepted that there are ghosts in this world.

It seems to have returned to the days when I was a child and wondered if there were any gods in the sky.

But the other party obviously didn't want to talk to him, and after taking him to the Temple of the City God, he waved his hands and walked into the Temple of the City God.Qi Ducheng didn't get a response, and knew that he was making fun of himself, so he rubbed his nose and followed him into the Chenghuang Temple.

"Didn't it be agreed before that I don't have to work in the Town God's Temple?" Qi Ducheng said from behind, "I have checked the information. In my situation, I can go to work on the spot even in a dream at night."

After he went back, he checked a lot of information in this area. There were few examples of living city gods, but there were many examples of mortals acting as ghosts.Most of them call their souls to the underworld, finish the case, and send them back to the mortal body after dawn.For example, it is recorded in "Zi Bu Yu" that a scholar left his soul in a dream and went to the underworld to settle the case, and the case that was settled was still the case of the emperor of the Song Dynasty.However, the most familiar one is the Dragon King in Wei Zheng's dream.

In other words, unless you encounter someone who is particularly domineering, you will generally not directly seduce the soul and forcefully conscript a living person.Qi Ducheng understood this, and now he has the confidence to speak.

But the man in front of him ignored him, and disappeared after entering the Temple of the City God.

When Qi Ducheng was puzzled, the middle-aged man with the split head ran out.But this time the wound on his head was gone, and he looked like a normal person.

"Don't be upset, master, don't be upset, master. It was I who troubled Mr. Jian Yuan to bring you here." The other party's tone was modest, and it was mostly him who spoke in front of him before, so Qi Ducheng had some impressions.

But what he's thinking now is instead, the original name of the black-faced killer is Jian Yuan.

Qi Ducheng's eyes turned, he looked at the other party and asked: "What are you looking for me again? Can you dream about something?"

You must know how much delay in making money this time around!

"The new City God is supposed to deal with affairs when he takes office. In addition, Master, you have been reincarnated as a human, and you have no memory of being in the underworld, so don't you want to familiarize Master with it first?"

"My surname is Zhong, and I am a judge." Judge Zhong said the matter slowly, and then looked at Qi Ducheng and said, "I understand that everyone should take a bath every five days for two days. Delaying adults' work time!"

As I spoke, I showed a very considerate look on my face.

Qidu City: "..."

He didn't know what to say for a while, and thought that Judge Zhong should learn more about it in the human world, such as the new routine 996 among the social animals in the human world...

Besides, as a reporter, Qiducheng has no fixed rest time. Sometimes, even on weekends, he still has to go to the news when he receives a mission.However, it was his turn to rest these two days, and Qidu City really had two days off.

But just in case, Qi Ducheng still said: "Forget it this time, you should give me a dream next time. Otherwise, my work will be delayed."

Judge Zhong answered again and again.

Seeing his good temper, Qi Ducheng didn't say much, scratched his head and said, "Then, tell me about the specific situation of the Town God's Temple first."

Speaking of the Nancheng Town God's Temple, it used to be brilliant for a while.It's just that in the Dharma-ending era, the gods are hidden and invisible, and the incense in the world is gradually declining. Except for the famous gods, the incense in the small temples of other small gods is getting worse day by day.

But no matter what, the Town God's Temple is also an institution under the Yin Division. Even if the incense declines, the basic operation must be maintained.

Until 20 years ago, the newly appointed City God of Qidu City had an accident.

The city god who is about to take office has accidentally reincarnated, and the ghost messengers working in Nancheng were all stupid when the news came out.

Without Chenghuang, who will judge the case?Who approves leave?Who is in charge of the operation? ?

The ghost messengers immediately said: SOS! !

But this is another fact that cannot be changed. Nancheng has been deserted for 20 years.

Qi Ducheng was stunned and said: "Can't you be more flexible? Can't you ask others to take the top temporarily?"

Judge Zhong said: "How can this be? There is a definite number for each god in this temple. If it is you, it is you, but you can't change it!"

"Then there has been no leader for the past 20 years?"

Judge Zhong shook his head and said, "Not really, thanks to Mr. Jianyuan in Nancheng." Speaking of Jianyuan, Judge Zhong couldn't help but sound a little cautious, "Because Mr. Jianyuan is oppressing Nancheng, Nancheng will Avoid the situation of falling into chaos because there is no city god. Of course, he is only here to guard, and he will not do any business affairs."

This is something that Qi Ducheng did not expect.Seeing that this kind of vicious-looking guy with a big temper and a killer move is willing to stay in Nancheng for 20 years!

Seeing Qi Ducheng's surprised face, Judge Zhong coughed lightly and said, "Master Jianyuan is also entrusted by his superiors..."

This is euphemistically speaking, to put it bluntly, there is a mission here.

Qi Ducheng asked with a thought: "Do you know what you specifically entrusted?"

What he actually thought was that a ghost with such a temper could bear his temper and suppress Nancheng for 20 years, and even intervened in the appointment of the Chenghuang, which meant that his superiors must have given some orders.

Of course, he wants to know more, will there be any order to protect the city god...

Judge Zhong hesitated for a moment, Qi Ducheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm the City God!"

"This...Master Jianyuan, he was indeed entrusted to be the City God..."

"Say what?" Judge Zhong hadn't finished speaking, Jian Yuan appeared behind him abruptly, his cold tone stopped Judge Zhong's unfinished words.

"Take care of your mouth." Jian Yuan glanced at Judge Zhong, and when he crossed the city, he saw Judge Zhong's neck suddenly shrank, and he didn't dare to let out a breath.

Seeing this, Jianyuan withdrew his gaze, then looked at Qidu City and said, "Be your city god, don't inquire about my affairs."

Qidu City: "..."

cut.

It seems that Jianyuan's gossip is not easy to talk about anymore, Qi Ducheng and Judge Zhong looked at each other, and changed the topic tactfully.

"Haha, let's talk about the work of the City God."

"Yes, yes, listen to me in detail..."

The birth of the city god originated from the birth of the city.In the early days, mortals and gods were interdependent, and almost everything had subdivided gods, and cities naturally had patron saints.

Therefore, the most important thing for the City God is to protect the people, punish evil and promote good.To be more specific, it is in charge of the luck of the people in a city, and the cycle of life and death of the souls of a city.

The good and evil things done by mortals are recorded by the underworld, and the city god will judge the rewards and punishments.

The soul in the city is about to die and then reported by the City God Temple. Firstly, it is to check the life and death book and register itself in the underworld.

"...However, most of the ghosts don't have too much causal involvement. They just need to be checked and sent to the Yin Division for reincarnation." Zhong Juan said.

Qi Ducheng nodded, and then judge Zhong said: "However, this is not what you are concerned about now, master."

Seeing Qi Ducheng's puzzled expression, Judge Zhong smiled and said, "It's getting late, I'll show you tomorrow."

……

the next day.

Qidu City rested at the Town God's Temple for another night. I don't know if it was an illusion, but I always felt that sleeping here was more comfortable than sleeping at home, and even prepared breakfast.

However, when he saw the breakfast in front of him, Qi Ducheng was still a little uneasy and said: "This can't be a trick, can it?"

Judge Zhong hurriedly said: "No, no, we bought it in the city and paid for it!"

Only then did Qi Ducheng rest assured.

The work of the Town God's Temple has always been day and night, so Qi Ducheng waited until night before Judge Zhong said: "This is mainly to take you to see the work of the ghost messenger."

Qi Ducheng thought that the inspection would start so soon, but it was a matter of time, so he didn't say much.

It is said that the Town God's Temple has 24 divisions, each of which performs its duties. Therefore, there are many errands in the Town God's Temple, among which the four major judges, seducer ghosts, and little ghost warriors can be counted.

The latter is the one with the largest base.

What Judge Zhong took Qi Ducheng to see was the work of ghost messengers.Before this, Qi Ducheng thought about countless scenes, but never thought of this scene in front of him——

The Wuchang people traveled together, didn't even put on their uniforms, and floated sparsely on the street with lanterns, looking undisciplined.

If you don't say it's impermanence, Qi Ducheng would think it's a street slipper from the underworld.

These impermanences are obviously unintentional to work, as they walked, they said: "Today, I just hook up casually, and there will be a game later, let's go together?"

"Yeah!"

After coming over for a while, Wuchang who spoke first said again: "But I'm going to get some money to spend later, I'm almost out of principal."

"Together!"

Qi Ducheng followed behind and his eyes widened when he heard the words. At this time, Judge Zhong helped him hide his whereabouts and motioned him to continue to follow.Qi Ducheng followed these two ghost messengers, and saw them drift into a family's house, and walked out with the soul of an old man after a while.

Seeing Wuchang, the old man said with a mournful face: "Master Wuchang, please let me stay at home for a while! I really can't bear it—"

The impermanent face said firmly: "You have been here for a while! Is Wuchang so easy to talk to?!"

The old ghost bowed again and again: "Just say what you want, as long as I can stay at home, I am willing."

Wuchang said: "You can continue to stay at home...but you have to pay more."

Qi Ducheng hid in the distance, and this conversation happened many times at first glance, the old ghost was not surprised at all, he turned his head and took out several ingots of golden ingots from the house and handed them to Wuchang.

Na Wuchang unceremoniously took the ingot, his face softened a lot and said: "The quality is not bad, but next time the price will be doubled!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Wuchang took the ingot and left the house.

Qi Ducheng looked complicated in the dark, Judge Zhong took advantage of the situation and said: "Without the restraint of the City God, Nancheng's shackles are dissolute, and now they can do things like taking bribes and releasing ghosts privately. This is what you should worry about, sir. ah."

The duty of Wuchang in the Town God's Temple is to seduce souls and catch lonely ghosts and maintain the order of yin and yang, but now Wuchang uses this to blackmail and accept bribes. This is negligence of duty!

If left alone, will Li Gui be able to wander the world at will in the future?Will City God still have impermanence requisitioned in the future?

Qi Ducheng looked around, and Judge Zhong took the opportunity to explain the pros and cons to him, and he thought he understood the urgency of this matter.

Although he wants to be a hands-off shopkeeper, this requires a group of law-abiding and orderly subordinates!

Otherwise, he, as a city god, would have no peace every day.

Qi Ducheng thought of the female ghost who was swallowed by Jian Yuan in the office building, and he was afraid that these impermanent and dereliction of duty slipped through the net.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking solemnly at Judge Zhong and said, "You're right, we want to rectify the unhealthy trend!"

Judge Zhong was very moved, your lord is really very kind!

"May I ask what kind of coup your lord has?"

Qi Ducheng said: "I'll burn some paper money for Jianyuan first."

Judge Zhong: "...???"

The author has something to say: Master Xiao Qi: Money can turn ghosts around! (ignite paper)

Jian Yuan: ... Get out!
