That's not right, there must be something wrong here.Not only did Zhong Lingxiu look at me so unfamiliarly, but she also began to be a little strange in my eyes.She also seemed to realize it, tilted her head, and then said, "I'm a little anxious." ”I hurriedly said, "What's wrong?"
If there's anyone I can help with, I'll help. ”She smiled coldly and said, "If you want to help me, hurry up to the Heavenly Rank." ”Yes, if I ascend to the Heavenly Rank, I will be able to be with her, and I will be able to give an explanation in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and of course I am willing to ascend as soon as possible.But Master can't lie to me, if I ascend to the Heavenly Rank, it will really cause a catastrophe, and if I choose the same, I can only choose not to let the disaster come.Besides, the matter of the Heavenly Master's Mansion was promised, a one-year appointment, and it was far from a year now, why was she suddenly so anxious about the matter of ascending to the Heavenly Level?"
Something is wrong with you today," I said, "what the hell is going on?"
”"You want to know, why am I in such a hurry to get you upgraded?"
Zhong Lingxiu looked out the car window and said, "You go somewhere with me." ”Then, she said to the driver: "Go to the Fifteen Gardens City God Temple." ”Fifteen Garden, this place is a little familiar, but I haven't been to it - it seems to be a place in the suburbs, by the way, there are kites in that place.Zhong Lingxiu was in a hurry, couldn't Heng take me to buy a kite?
Besides, the City God Temple......
What do you do at the City God Temple?
Fifteen Gardens is not too far away, and it will be there quickly.When I got out of the car, I saw a broken earth house.I don't know how many years of wind and frost this broken house has experienced, the roof is covered with grass, and the beams and pillars are a little crooked, not to mention how shabby.Looking at the window lattices and eaves, this can't be an old house that existed before liberation?
Is the economy of the village particularly underdeveloped, what age, and there are still such dilapidated houses, which are more dilapidated than our family's melon sheds.I was just about to ask Zhong Lingxiu if he didn't go to the City God Temple?
What are you doing here?
As a result, when I looked at it again, I couldn't ask it.Under the low-hanging eaves, there is a plaque pasted by spider webs, and the plaque does have vague three words: "City God Temple".I was stunned - okay, this is where Zhong Lingxiu is going to take me?
The City God Temple is different from some other wild temples, it is in charge of various local life and death matters, just like the local government, how can you eat some incense.What's going on?
The broken one is almost the same as the plague king temple, or even the godless place like the Niangniang Temple that fills the pit.Zhong Lingxiu continued: "You go in and have a look." ”I did as she told me and went in.When I went in, I saw that it was a mess inside, I don't know how many years no one came, and there were obviously no gods living here, and there was no merit at all, it was all empty.The gods can only exist based on people's beliefs, and if there are no more people in the local area who believe in offering incense, then this god will disappear completely.A few people were passing by at this time, so I inquired with them and asked if there were still people worshipping this temple?
The people looked at me like fools and said, "Dude, you traveled from ancient times?"
What age is this, and who still believes in any gods and ghosts?
The country has let break the feudal superstition. ”"That's right, if you have the heart to ask for the blessing of the gods, it's better to work hard to make money, do you understand the anxiety of the whole people?
The fat circle of friends has said that you have long been left behind by your peers. ”"That's right, life is so short, it's better to pin your hopes on this kind of ethereal thing, it's better to drink a cup of milk tea and brush up on Douyin.""
You are not right to say that," said one woman in a soft voice, "and now the girls also worship the temple." ”They came with interest: "Yo?
What kind of temple?
Is it the Yuelao Temple?
Where is it?
We went over and ran into a girl. ”"It's Auntie's Temple!""
Hahaha......
Hey, buddy, don't make these feudal dross, look at how good you look, why don't you go with us to make a girl?
”I suddenly felt a little cold in the back of my heart.In places that people can't see, there are actually undercurrents surging, and there are many dangers, and the existence of God is to calm down such risks.For this reason, some gods prefer to disappear and stay in the local temple and do their duty.But the local people hold the word "ethereal" to God.Is it worth God's work for people?
Because more and more people use the gods as feudal dross, more and more temples do not get incense, and more and more gods no longer exist, just like here, empty.Seeing that I didn't react, the men looked at me like freaks and whispered away.I looked back at Zhong Lingxiu, and Zhong Lingxiu said, "Do you see it?"
”I nodded, but I still didn't understand a little, what does it have to do with letting me see an empty temple and let me ascend to the heavenly level?
And at this time, another old lady staggered in, carrying a basket, uncovering the cloth on the basket, I saw a lot of eggs in it, and the old lady was slowly offering to this broken city god temple.This......
And the Christians!
When asked, the old lady insisted on offering for decades, and never stopped every month - when she was young, she was blessed by this city god lord, and swore that she would worship for the rest of her life, and it was because of her that this place was not demolished.From the previous pit filling general, it can be seen that without believers, the gods will disappear, as long as there are believers, even if there is only one, the gods will still exist.Since there are believers, shouldn't the City God Temple in this place be empty?
Don't......
The city god of this place, like the pit filler, was taken away with a soul bottle?
Thinking of this, I looked at Zhong Lingxiu.Zhong Lingxiu saw that I could see it, and then said: "Let me tell you first, the Heavenly Master's Mansion has nothing to do with the disappearance of the Fifteen Gardens City God. ”Then this City God obviously has believers, and he shouldn't disappear, where did he go?
I was about to ask, but suddenly I realized that something was wrong.The City God Temple in this place is in charge of Yin and Yang, and now that the City God is gone, then there will definitely be lonely souls and wild ghosts and dead people who have no one to guide here, it should be a group of dragons without a leader, and the locals will definitely encounter some dangerous things, at least, they will also be entangled in Yin Qi.But now, there are no dead people in this place, and it's clean—even a little too clean, and it's even alarming.What about the lost dead who should have lingered here?
Could it be ......
A thought was like a cold hand, and it grabbed my heart violently - there are demons appearing, eating them, so clean!
Zhong Lingxiu then said: "We are all mistaken-the demon is not dormant for a while, but is doing something terrible. ”The disappearance of the local city god is the ...... of the devil Zhong Lingxiu looked at the village: "Because there is no fork in this kind of place, and the Heavenly Master's Mansion was first disturbed by the Bian family, and we have no skills, so we have not found this situation, and now, there are more and more temples like this." ”That is to say - gods, less and less.The gods are protecting people, the devil is eating people, the two sides are opposed, the gods are the most important factor in containing the demons, if the gods are less and less, then the demons will become more and more powerful."
If this continues, the gods will gradually disappear, and the demons will be unscrupulous."
Zhong Lingxiu continued: "As long as their adult appears, maybe the Three Realms will be reversed. ”What she meant was that demons would take the place of gods!
Just like Yuan Qingcheng said, the Heavenly Master's Mansion and the Golem are cats and mice, cats want to catch mice, but they must not let mice go extinct, otherwise what will cats eat?
Demons are the same as people, demons want to eat people, and they can't eat them all, but they want people to surrender to themselves, just like raising livestock......
"So, you have to ascend to the heavenly level as soon as possible, so that you can work with me to suppress the demons," Zhong Lingxiu said: "Drag it out any longer, and when the demons really slowly eat away at the position of the gods, it will be too late." ”"But there are not many Heavenly Steps, without me, you have to have other Heavenly Steps to help you......"
"There are other Heavenly Steps."
Zhong Lingxiu looked at me fixedly: "But none of them are the unsealing people of the demon. ”
