Town God's Temple is outside the county town, six miles east.
Xu Qi'an and his party rode on the road and arrived at their destination with a cup of tea.
A small temple with black tiles and white walls is located not far from the official road. The temple is surrounded by white walls. A small path connects the temple with the official road.
the popularity of Town God's Temple is quite vigorous, and there are endless rich people dressed in plain clothes and bright rich people who go back and forth to the temple and enter the temple.
There are still several carriages outside the temple.
"Woo!"
Xu Qi'an reined his horse in front of the temple gate, turned over and dismounted, helped mu Nanzhi down, and tied his horse to a stake beside the road with Li lingsu and Miao Youfang...
He closed his eyes for a moment and was disappointed. There was no breath of dragon around him.
At the gate of the temple stood two big men, who reached out to stop them. Holding their heads high, they said:
"if you go into the temple to burn incense, you should give 20 Wen first."
There are tickets in these days. Although the temple God has nothing to do with dragon spirit, now that he meets him, he goes in and has a look at him. Xu Qi'an takes a look at Li lingsu, who turns his lips and hands over 20 Wen.
The man on the left took it and took a look at Xu Qi'an's robe. Hey, he said:
"20 Wen each."
Mu Nanzhi frowned. This guy was obviously looking at Xu Qian's good clothes, waiting for the opportunity to ask for money.
"Why don't they?" She pointed to a young couple entering the temple.
"They're regular customers, so they don't have to." The porter had his own way of saying. He seemed not afraid of trouble at all. He said impatiently:
"if you want to burn incense, you should pay money quickly, and if you don't have any money, you should go away."
Xu Qian raised his head to appease mu Nanzhi and said, "give it to him."
After paying the money, the four crossed the gate. Xu Qi'an's eyes swept. The courtyard was divided into two parts by the bluestone road leading to the temple. On the left was a merit tower made of yellow mud, burning yellow paper.
On the right are two and a half high candlesticks, red candles burning and tears rolling.
Many pilgrims gathered on both sides, either burning yellow paper or lighting candles.
four people walked across the yard and entered Town God's Temple. What was offered in the temple immediately attracted their attention.
It was an ugly looking kid with a big belly without a coat. He held his hands high and dragged a stone mirror. The mirror seemed to be broken and only half of it was left.
It's not the statue that's broken, it's the mirror itself that's broken.
In front of the sculpture, more than a dozen pilgrims are worshiping devoutly. On the right side of the incense table in front of the sculpture stands an old woman with gray hair. Her face is thin and her forehead is wide. She looks like a rat.
Smart and philistine.
has no air machine fluctuation, no ghost, no evil spirits... Xu Qi an runs the yuan God and swept the circle to confirm that this is just an ordinary Town God's Temple. Whether
is Town God's Temple is still open to question.
, a normal Town God's Temple, apparently does not offer a small ghost.
Li lingsu also used the method of "opening and closing" to examine the small temple. He shook his head slightly at Xu Qian, saying that he did not find any abnormality.
Is the shopkeeper exaggerating? Xu Qi'an is disappointed. It's not so much the things behind that are so skillful that he can't detect the clue. It's obvious that the truth that the shopkeeper is cheating is more reliable.
In a small county, it is impossible for two Wolong chicks to deceive Tangtang xuyin Gong, just like Tianzong.
Xu Qian pondered and went to the mother of God. He said, "
," we are outsiders. I heard that Town God's Temple is very efficacious. Then you go into the temple to burn incense. You are God's wife. May I ask what gods are offered in the temple? "
The old woman looked at him and saw that Xu Qi'an was wearing a good robe. Her eyes brightened, she coughed and said in a deep voice:
"young man, you've come to the right place.
"The temple is dedicated to huntian God, who is omnipotent. The mirror in his hand is called huntian God's mirror, through which huntian God can see the world.
"I see that your seal is black. I'm afraid of bad luck recently. You can come here to burn incense. It's the God who is protecting you. He sees your bad luck."
Xu Qian showed a "panic" expression and said:
"what's the meaning of this? I, everything has been going well all the way."
The old woman said faintly:
"it's just not time. If you want to eliminate bad luck, I can show you a way
When Xu Qi'an nodded, she looked at Xu Qi'an's clothes and said, "the temple God loves money and offers two hundred taels of silver for seven days, then bad luck can be eliminated."
Two hundred Liang, good appetite..... Xu Qi'an wrote down the names of Hun Tian Shen and Hun Tian Shen Jing, and planned to go back to ask the members of the heaven and Earth Society in the fragments of the earth book.
Although he was basically convinced that the old lady was a swagger.
At this time, a middle-aged man in light clothes came over. He had a T-shirt inside and a worn cotton padded jacket outside. Straw could be seen in the hole.The padded jacket was stuffed with straw.
The middle-aged man has a weather beaten face. Years of hard work makes him look a little dull. He says: "God mother, my mother-in-law is going to die. She, why is she not well?
"You said that if you worship the temple God for seven days, she will be cured, but she can't eat today."
God mother frowned: "that means you are not religious enough, you need to continue to confess for three days."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man showed a bitter expression on his weather beaten face: "I, I have no money. All my savings are for the temple."
The old lady was displeased and said:
"that's your business. If you don't have money, you can sell the land and ask someone to borrow it.
"The temple God is just and won't favor you just because your family is poor. Don't other pilgrims offer sacrifices? Isn't the family poor? "
A set of logic down, middle-aged man speechless, lips gently tremble.
"But my mother-in-law can't eat any more, she can't eat any more..."
in the simple concept of the common people, it's fatal that she can't walk and eat.
The goddess snorted and said with threat:
"the temple God will protect us and punish anyone who offends us."
The middle-aged man seems to think of something, showing a look of extreme panic, bent his back, dare not speak.
Miao Youfang, not far away, listens to the whole process, his eyebrows standing up.
...
on the other hand, Li lingsu tactfully inquires into the pilgrim, and his target is a young man.
"Brother, you are young. What do you want from the temple?"
Li lingsu is beautiful, unmarried and elegant, which is hard to ignore. However, young people's words are flashing:
"nothing, nothing."
Li lingsu said with a smile: "everyone is here to burn incense. Let's talk about it."
The young man unconsciously opened his heart and said with a bitter smile:
"I'm here to ask for a son."
Li lingsu "Oh" a way: "also seven days?"
The young man nodded.
"It cost a lot of money." When Li lingsu spoke, he took a look at the middle-aged man.
"The silver is OK..."
the young man showed a strange look and wanted to say that he would stop. At this time, the curtain leading to the inner hall was lifted and a beautiful woman came out quickly.
Her face was a little red and her hair was a little disordered. Seeing people's eyes, she immediately bowed her head and walked back to her husband.
In a moment, the curtain opened again, and a stout man came out. He took a look at the figure of a beautiful woman, and his face was still full of meaning.
"Niang, I've already sent the children to the temple God. It's time for you to collect the money. The little lady is very satisfied. "
The man said with a smile.
The old woman looked at the young couple and said with a smile:
"Zhang xiaoniang, Zhang Xianggong, are you satisfied?"
The pretty woman's face turned pale and red. Humiliation and anger flashed through the eyes of the young man surnamed Zhang. He forced a smile and said, "satisfied, satisfied..."
with a smile, he took off her purse and handed it up.
The man reached for it, weighed it, looked around the pretty woman, and grinned:
"there are still four days left. Remember to come on time, or the temple God will be angry."
The young couple's eyes were filled with fear and nodded.
"Why not report it to the government?"
There was a sigh in the young man's ear. He looked at the handsome man.
Infected by his voice again, he summoned up courage in his heart and said with a little fear:
"all the people who reported to the official died, and so did those who were disrespectful to the temple God.
"As long as we worship the temple God, the temple God will protect us..."
Li lingsu asked in essence:
"why do you come here to burn incense when you know that all the people who disrespect the temple God are dead?"
As a local, the young couple should know the trouble of getting involved in the temple God, so they can choose not to come.
, Zhang surnamed, young people gnash their teeth. "
" is not what we want to be. It's him. He looks at my wife and comes to us. Let's go to Town God's Temple to ask for a son, otherwise Temple God will be punished. "
Li lingsu understood that this is the same as the bullying of men and women by the sons of powerful people. The difference is that one relies on power and the other on temple gods.
He couldn't help looking at Xu Qi'an. He was gloomy and silent. He seemed to be thinking about something.
"Niang, where did you get this stupid bag?"
The old man listened without fear or even disdain.
Shen Po's face was gloomy. She pointed to Xu Qi'an and Miao Youfang and said, "these are the people from other places."Then, she looked at the young couple with a sneer:
"Mr. Zhang Xianggong, Mrs. Zhang, you are disrespectful to the temple God. The temple God is in the eye."
That little lady's face "Shua" white, with a cry, said: "temple God forgive, God forgive."
After beating the young couple, Shen Po gave a cold hum, looked at Xu Qi'an and others, and announced:
"you are disrespectful to the temple God, you have offended the temple God, and you are dying. If you want to calm down the anger of the temple God, you can offer 300 Liang silver. Otherwise, I can't save you. "
Her son clapped her hands, and three men from outside the temple immediately came in and surrounded Xu Qi'an and others.
Around the pilgrims pointing, whispering.
"These foreigners are so brave."
"Yes, give me the money quickly, otherwise I don't know how to die."
At this time, Zhang Xianggong had come back to his senses and was no longer influenced by Li lingsu. He knew what he had just said and his legs were soft.
"Temple God forgives, temple God forgives..."
the son of shenpo ignores him, stares at tiger eyes and threatens Xu Qi'an and others: "offer the silver quickly."
The pilgrims on the side of the temple urged: "foreigners, please admit your mistake to the temple God."
"Why seek death."
"Yes, give me the silver quickly. Don't disturb Mr. Zhang."
The middle-aged man opened his mouth and seemed to want to follow suit, but anger flashed in his eyes and clenched his fist silently.
"Silver? Your uncle's, go to find Yama. "
Miao Youfang scolded, took two quick steps, clenched his fist, and tilted his right arm back.
Bang!
When no one responded, he punched the son of shenpo in the head.
The head exploded like a watermelon, blood and bone splashed on the ground, on the wall, and on the temple God sculpture behind.
The temple was silent for a few seconds, the screams suddenly burst, and the pilgrims fled out in panic.
three men who care for Town God's Temple fled to the yard along with the pilgrims.
"My son
The goddess screamed bitterly, fell down in front of the headless body and cried bitterly.
Miao Youfang took out a long knife from Xu Qian's utensil, smashed it, kicked over the incense table, kicked the censer, and finally cut the temple God sculpture in half.
"You..."
the goddess glared maliciously at the four and said harshly, "the temple God will not let you go. Everyone will die."
"Kill me!"
Xu Qi an light way.
He still has doubts and puzzles about this temple God, but it doesn't matter. Later, let Li lingsu summon the spirit, and he will personally interrogate shenpo's soul.
Miao Youfang immediately cuts off shenpo's head with a knife, and then kicks her head.
Having a younger brother is different. I don't need to do it myself..... Xu Qi'an nodded his head with satisfaction. Zhang Jia and his wife, as well as the middle-aged man, sighed in their heart.
God, God's mother-in-law died...... the young couple were petrified, and their hearts trembled violently. They could not tell whether they were happy or afraid at this time.
Middle aged men are stupid.
Equally silly are the pilgrims in the yard.
Xu Qian knew that these people needed to be appeased. He walked out of the temple, looked at the pilgrims in the courtyard and said, "I'm a constable from the capital. I'm my colleague these days.
"Some people went to Beijing to complain that there were people in Shengyi County who had sex with ancestral temples and sacrificial rites, harming the people.
"this official deliberately investigated secretly for several days and found out the truth. The goddess learned some magic tricks to harm people secretly, and pretended to be a temple God in order to intimidate the people.
"Now that he has been put to death, there is no need for you to come back here and give a confession."
As soon as he heard that the young man was a member of the government, the pilgrims were much more stable.
The imperial court is the largest in the world. Because of this, the presence of the imperial court can make them feel more secure.
"But, but the temple God is really effective." A pilgrim said.
If it's just a threat, it can't make them willingly burn incense.
"The boss of the rouge shop in Guanghua Street was killed by shenpo. I have found out this matter." Xu Qian Road.
Pilgrims are relieved.
Xu Qi'an turned to enter the temple, took out a ingot of official silver from his arms, handed it to the middle-aged man, and said:
"if you are sick, you have to find a doctor."
After asking the middle-aged man's address, he turned to Li lingsu and said, "you'll go there later to see the situation."
He is worried about the middle-aged man's mother-in-law, terminally ill, ordinary doctors unable to return.
Li lingsu nodded.
The middle-aged man fell to his knees tremblingly: "thank you, thank you."
At this time, Miao Youfang picked up the money bag beside the son of shenpo and threw it to Zhang Xianggong, saying:
"forget what happened here, and don't look down on your daughter-in-law."The young man, surnamed Zhang, looked at the corpse of his mother-in-law and son and spit hard. Silently to the three people, holding his wife left.
Miao Youfang turned his head and spat at the corpse. He was used to it:
"I've been wandering in the river and lake for many years, and I can't count the number of such villains."
"It's not a good thing!" Xu Qian said.
This shows that the court's jurisdiction and rule over various places has been very weak. When the order is gradually shaken, chaos will occur frequently.
Some people will come forward to establish a new order. At that time, either the Dynasty will change, or the Dynasty will go through great trauma and survive.
Xu Qi'an glanced out and confirmed that the pilgrims had been driven out. He immediately closed the temple door and said, "Li lingsu, summon spirit!"
The voice Fang falls, Miao Youfang suddenly covers the chest, the facial expression is iron blue, slowly withers in the ground.
His face was suffocating, his eyes turned white, and the breath of life quickly passed.
A Wufu at the peak of alchemy is on the verge of death for no reason?

Some people will come forward to establish a new order. At that time, either the Dynasty will change, or the Dynasty will go through great trauma and survive.
Xu Qi'an glanced out and confirmed that the pilgrims had been driven out. He immediately closed the temple door and said, "Li lingsu, summon spirit!"
The voice Fang falls, Miao Youfang suddenly covers the chest, the facial expression is iron blue, slowly withers in the ground.
His face was suffocating, his eyes turned white, and the breath of life quickly passed.
A Wufu at the peak of alchemy is on the verge of death for no reason?
PS: the book of the old, written by Wolf and bear.
Town God's Temple is outside the county town, six miles east. Xu Qi'an and his party rode on the road and arrived at their destination with a cup of tea. A small temple with black tiles and white walls is located not far from the official road. The temple is surrounded by white walls. A small path connects the temple with the official road. the popularity of Town God's Temple is quite vigorous, and there are endless rich people dressed in plain clothes and bright rich people who go back and forth to the temple and enter the temple. There are still several carriages outside the temple. "Woo!" Xu Qi'an reined his horse in front of the temple gate, turned over and dismounted, helped mu Nanzhi down, and tied his horse to a stake beside the road with Li lingsu and Miao Youfang... He closed his eyes for a moment and was disappointed. There was no breath of dragon around him. At the gate of the temple stood two big men, who reached out to stop them. Holding their heads high, they said: "if you go into the temple to burn incense, you should give 20 Wen first." There are tickets in these days. Although the temple God has nothing to do with dragon spirit, now that he meets him, he goes in and has a look at him. Xu Qi'an takes a look at Li lingsu, who turns his lips and hands over 20 Wen. The man on the left took it and took a look at Xu Qi'an's robe. Hey, he said: "20 Wen each." Mu Nanzhi frowned. This guy was obviously looking at Xu Qian's good clothes, waiting for the opportunity to ask for money. "Why don't they?" She pointed to a young couple entering the temple. "They're regular customers, so they don't have to." The porter had his own way of saying. He seemed not afraid of trouble at all. He said impatiently: "if you want to burn incense, you should pay money quickly, and if you don't have any money, you should go away." Xu Qian raised his head to appease mu Nanzhi and said, "give it to him." After paying the money, the four crossed the gate. Xu Qi'an's eyes swept. The courtyard was divided into two parts by the bluestone road leading to the temple. On the left was a merit tower made of yellow mud, burning yellow paper. On the right are two and a half high candlesticks, red candles burning and tears rolling. Many pilgrims gathered on both sides, either burning yellow paper or lighting candles. four people walked across the yard and entered Town God's Temple. What was offered in the temple immediately attracted their attention. It was an ugly looking kid with a big belly without a coat. He held his hands high and dragged a stone mirror. The mirror seemed to be broken and only half of it was left. It's not the statue that's broken, it's the mirror itself that's broken. In front of the sculpture, more than a dozen pilgrims are worshiping devoutly. On the right side of the incense table in front of the sculpture stands an old woman with gray hair. Her face is thin and her forehead is wide. She looks like a rat. Smart and philistine. has no air machine fluctuation, no ghost, no evil spirits... Xu Qi an runs the yuan God and swept the circle to confirm that this is just an ordinary Town God's Temple. Whether is Town God's Temple is still open to question. , a normal Town God's Temple, apparently does not offer a small ghost. Li lingsu also used the method of "opening and closing" to examine the small temple. He shook his head slightly at Xu Qian, saying that he did not find any abnormality. Is the shopkeeper exaggerating? Xu Qi'an is disappointed. It's not so much the things behind that are so skillful that he can't detect the clue. It's obvious that the truth that the shopkeeper is cheating is more reliable. In a small county, it is impossible for two Wolong chicks to deceive Tangtang xuyin Gong, just like Tianzong. Xu Qian pondered and went to the mother of God. He said, "," we are outsiders. I heard that Town God's Temple is very efficacious. Then you go into the temple to burn incense. You are God's wife. May I ask what gods are offered in the temple? " The old woman looked at him and saw that Xu Qi'an was wearing a good robe. Her eyes brightened, she coughed and said in a deep voice: "young man, you've come to the right place. "The temple is dedicated to huntian God, who is omnipotent. The mirror in his hand is called huntian God's mirror, through which huntian God can see the world. "I see that your seal is black. I'm afraid of bad luck recently. You can come here to burn incense. It's the God who is protecting you. He sees your bad luck." Xu Qian showed a "panic" expression and said: "what's the meaning of this? I, everything has been going well all the way." The old woman said faintly: "it's just not time. If you want to eliminate bad luck, I can show you a way When Xu Qi'an nodded, she looked at Xu Qi'an's clothes and said, "the temple God loves money and offers two hundred taels of silver for seven days, then bad luck can be eliminated." Two hundred Liang, good appetite..... Xu Qi'an wrote down the names of Hun Tian Shen and Hun Tian Shen Jing, and planned to go back to ask the members of the heaven and Earth Society in the fragments of the earth book. Although he was basically convinced that the old lady was a swagger. At this time, a middle-aged man in light clothes came over. He had a T-shirt inside and a worn cotton padded jacket outside. Straw could be seen in the hole.The padded jacket was stuffed with straw. The middle-aged man has a weather beaten face. Years of hard work makes him look a little dull. He says: "God mother, my mother-in-law is going to die. She, why is she not well? "You said that if you worship the temple God for seven days, she will be cured, but she can't eat today." God mother frowned: "that means you are not religious enough, you need to continue to confess for three days." Hearing this, the middle-aged man showed a bitter expression on his weather beaten face: "I, I have no money. All my savings are for the temple." The old lady was displeased and said: "that's your business. If you don't have money, you can sell the land and ask someone to borrow it. "The temple God is just and won't favor you just because your family is poor. Don't other pilgrims offer sacrifices? Isn't the family poor? " A set of logic down, middle-aged man speechless, lips gently tremble. "But my mother-in-law can't eat any more, she can't eat any more..." in the simple concept of the common people, it's fatal that she can't walk and eat. The goddess snorted and said with threat: "the temple God will protect us and punish anyone who offends us." The middle-aged man seems to think of something, showing a look of extreme panic, bent his back, dare not speak. Miao Youfang, not far away, listens to the whole process, his eyebrows standing up. ... on the other hand, Li lingsu tactfully inquires into the pilgrim, and his target is a young man. "Brother, you are young. What do you want from the temple?" Li lingsu is beautiful, unmarried and elegant, which is hard to ignore. However, young people's words are flashing: "nothing, nothing." Li lingsu said with a smile: "everyone is here to burn incense. Let's talk about it." The young man unconsciously opened his heart and said with a bitter smile: "I'm here to ask for a son." Li lingsu "Oh" a way: "also seven days?" The young man nodded. "It cost a lot of money." When Li lingsu spoke, he took a look at the middle-aged man. "The silver is OK..." the young man showed a strange look and wanted to say that he would stop. At this time, the curtain leading to the inner hall was lifted and a beautiful woman came out quickly. Her face was a little red and her hair was a little disordered. Seeing people's eyes, she immediately bowed her head and walked back to her husband. In a moment, the curtain opened again, and a stout man came out. He took a look at the figure of a beautiful woman, and his face was still full of meaning. "Niang, I've already sent the children to the temple God. It's time for you to collect the money. The little lady is very satisfied. " The man said with a smile. The old woman looked at the young couple and said with a smile: "Zhang xiaoniang, Zhang Xianggong, are you satisfied?" The pretty woman's face turned pale and red. Humiliation and anger flashed through the eyes of the young man surnamed Zhang. He forced a smile and said, "satisfied, satisfied..." with a smile, he took off her purse and handed it up. The man reached for it, weighed it, looked around the pretty woman, and grinned: "there are still four days left. Remember to come on time, or the temple God will be angry." The young couple's eyes were filled with fear and nodded. "Why not report it to the government?" There was a sigh in the young man's ear. He looked at the handsome man. Infected by his voice again, he summoned up courage in his heart and said with a little fear: "all the people who reported to the official died, and so did those who were disrespectful to the temple God. "As long as we worship the temple God, the temple God will protect us..." Li lingsu asked in essence: "why do you come here to burn incense when you know that all the people who disrespect the temple God are dead?" As a local, the young couple should know the trouble of getting involved in the temple God, so they can choose not to come. , Zhang surnamed, young people gnash their teeth. "" is not what we want to be. It's him. He looks at my wife and comes to us. Let's go to Town God's Temple to ask for a son, otherwise Temple God will be punished. " Li lingsu understood that this is the same as the bullying of men and women by the sons of powerful people. The difference is that one relies on power and the other on temple gods. He couldn't help looking at Xu Qi'an. He was gloomy and silent. He seemed to be thinking about something. "Niang, where did you get this stupid bag?" The old man listened without fear or even disdain. Shen Po's face was gloomy. She pointed to Xu Qi'an and Miao Youfang and said, "these are the people from other places."Then, she looked at the young couple with a sneer: "Mr. Zhang Xianggong, Mrs. Zhang, you are disrespectful to the temple God. The temple God is in the eye." That little lady's face "Shua" white, with a cry, said: "temple God forgive, God forgive." After beating the young couple, Shen Po gave a cold hum, looked at Xu Qi'an and others, and announced: "you are disrespectful to the temple God, you have offended the temple God, and you are dying. If you want to calm down the anger of the temple God, you can offer 300 Liang silver. Otherwise, I can't save you. " Her son clapped her hands, and three men from outside the temple immediately came in and surrounded Xu Qi'an and others. Around the pilgrims pointing, whispering. "These foreigners are so brave." "Yes, give me the money quickly, otherwise I don't know how to die." At this time, Zhang Xianggong had come back to his senses and was no longer influenced by Li lingsu. He knew what he had just said and his legs were soft. "Temple God forgives, temple God forgives..." the son of shenpo ignores him, stares at tiger eyes and threatens Xu Qi'an and others: "offer the silver quickly." The pilgrims on the side of the temple urged: "foreigners, please admit your mistake to the temple God." "Why seek death." "Yes, give me the silver quickly. Don't disturb Mr. Zhang." The middle-aged man opened his mouth and seemed to want to follow suit, but anger flashed in his eyes and clenched his fist silently. "Silver? Your uncle's, go to find Yama. " Miao Youfang scolded, took two quick steps, clenched his fist, and tilted his right arm back. Bang! When no one responded, he punched the son of shenpo in the head. The head exploded like a watermelon, blood and bone splashed on the ground, on the wall, and on the temple God sculpture behind. The temple was silent for a few seconds, the screams suddenly burst, and the pilgrims fled out in panic. three men who care for Town God's Temple fled to the yard along with the pilgrims. "My son The goddess screamed bitterly, fell down in front of the headless body and cried bitterly. Miao Youfang took out a long knife from Xu Qian's utensil, smashed it, kicked over the incense table, kicked the censer, and finally cut the temple God sculpture in half. "You..." the goddess glared maliciously at the four and said harshly, "the temple God will not let you go. Everyone will die." "Kill me!" Xu Qi an light way. He still has doubts and puzzles about this temple God, but it doesn't matter. Later, let Li lingsu summon the spirit, and he will personally interrogate shenpo's soul. Miao Youfang immediately cuts off shenpo's head with a knife, and then kicks her head. Having a younger brother is different. I don't need to do it myself..... Xu Qi'an nodded his head with satisfaction. Zhang Jia and his wife, as well as the middle-aged man, sighed in their heart. God, God's mother-in-law died...... the young couple were petrified, and their hearts trembled violently. They could not tell whether they were happy or afraid at this time. Middle aged men are stupid. Equally silly are the pilgrims in the yard. Xu Qian knew that these people needed to be appeased. He walked out of the temple, looked at the pilgrims in the courtyard and said, "I'm a constable from the capital. I'm my colleague these days. "Some people went to Beijing to complain that there were people in Shengyi County who had sex with ancestral temples and sacrificial rites, harming the people. "this official deliberately investigated secretly for several days and found out the truth. The goddess learned some magic tricks to harm people secretly, and pretended to be a temple God in order to intimidate the people. "Now that he has been put to death, there is no need for you to come back here and give a confession." As soon as he heard that the young man was a member of the government, the pilgrims were much more stable. The imperial court is the largest in the world. Because of this, the presence of the imperial court can make them feel more secure. "But, but the temple God is really effective." A pilgrim said. If it's just a threat, it can't make them willingly burn incense. "The boss of the rouge shop in Guanghua Street was killed by shenpo. I have found out this matter." Xu Qian Road. Pilgrims are relieved. Xu Qi'an turned to enter the temple, took out a ingot of official silver from his arms, handed it to the middle-aged man, and said: "if you are sick, you have to find a doctor." After asking the middle-aged man's address, he turned to Li lingsu and said, "you'll go there later to see the situation." He is worried about the middle-aged man's mother-in-law, terminally ill, ordinary doctors unable to return. Li lingsu nodded. The middle-aged man fell to his knees tremblingly: "thank you, thank you." At this time, Miao Youfang picked up the money bag beside the son of shenpo and threw it to Zhang Xianggong, saying: "forget what happened here, and don't look down on your daughter-in-law."The young man, surnamed Zhang, looked at the corpse of his mother-in-law and son and spit hard. Silently to the three people, holding his wife left. Miao Youfang turned his head and spat at the corpse. He was used to it: "I've been wandering in the river and lake for many years, and I can't count the number of such villains." "It's not a good thing!" Xu Qian said. This shows that the court's jurisdiction and rule over various places has been very weak. When the order is gradually shaken, chaos will occur frequently. Some people will come forward to establish a new order. At that time, either the Dynasty will change, or the Dynasty will go through great trauma and survive. Xu Qi'an glanced out and confirmed that the pilgrims had been driven out. He immediately closed the temple door and said, "Li lingsu, summon spirit!" The voice Fang falls, Miao Youfang suddenly covers the chest, the facial expression is iron blue, slowly withers in the ground. His face was suffocating, his eyes turned white, and the breath of life quickly passed. A Wufu at the peak of alchemy is on the verge of death for no reason?
