MTL - The Alternate World Is Too Dangerous: I Hide In Reality And Rule!-Chapter 74 Actually, I also know a little about Taoism.
Chapter 74 Actually, I also know a little about Taoism
Late night City God Temple!
Silence!
Looking at the dark City God Temple, Lin Ye felt a vague bad feeling in his heart.
It turned out that Lin Ye didn't care about it before practicing, but after embarking on the road of cultivation, the practitioner's intuition often represents signs.
"You can't ignore it. If you are in danger, just hide back to reality."
Looking at the quiet Town God's Temple, Lin Ye finally bit the bullet and walked in. This time he didn't climb over the wall, but directly pushed open the gate of the Town God's Temple.
The temple door opened, and Lin Ye's expression instantly became awkward.
Compared to the darkness and quietness seen outside the temple, the moment the door was pushed open, the lights were bright.
Eight servants stood on both sides holding long guns. Right in front of the City God Hall, Yang Chenghuang was sitting on a chair and looking at him with a smile. Behind Yang Chenghuang, two servants were holding Daohai who was tied up.
Dao Hai was bound by iron chains, and he stood there sluggishly as if he had lost his soul.
No matter how thick-skinned Lin Ye was, his face was a little red at this moment. It was so embarrassing. He could now snap out a villa with his thumb.
Yang Chenghuang looked at Lin Ye with a playful expression, holding a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, and said, "When you moved the statue of my god, I already sensed it and was about to come back, but I met Master Daoyuan , invited me to Miaoying Temple as a guest, I didn’t understand the situation at the beginning, but when Master Daoyuan talked about the City God Book, I felt like a bright mirror in my heart.”
Gan!
Lin Ye looked at Yang Chenghuang, and couldn't help scolding his mother in his heart. Thanks to him and Senior Brother Daoyuan, he felt a little sorry for this man, but he knew everything in his heart, and he was acting in a temple.
I can't help myself when it comes to the case, probably because I am too happy to play myself like a monkey and don't want to stop.
"Master Yang, just tell me, how to solve this matter?"
In the blink of an eye, Lin Ye also thought a lot.
This person is in the mood to act in the temple, which means there is still something to talk about. Otherwise, if he is really angry, he can point it out in the temple and just turn his face.
"You broke into my official City God's Temple, injured my subordinates, and even tried to steal the City God Book. If I didn't keep the City God Book behind, it would be a serious crime. What do you think I should do to you?"
Yang Chenghuang snarled: "According to the law, I can press your souls into the underworld to be punished!"
Facing Yang Chenghuang's stern appearance, Lin Ye felt very calm. This is a negotiation skill. First scare him, and then make a request.
"My lord, just tell me, what do you want us to do?"
Yang Chenghuang: …
Yang Chenghuang didn't expect Lin Ye to be so alert and react so quickly.
But it doesn't matter, it is still under his control after all.
"I'll give you two choices, the first one is that you two brothers and sisters will be crushed to the underworld by me..."
"My lord, let's say the second point intuitively."
Lin Ye interrupted Chenghuang. He had heard too much about this kind of negotiation. He gave you two choices, one life and one death. He didn't want to be scolded for words.
"The second way, what you two are talking about with the City God Book, I know very well that Ye Zhiyuan's soul, I have already recruited for you, I only have one request, you must take care of this matter to the end, Listen up to heaven!"
Listening to Chenghuang's words, Lin Ye smiled, and he suddenly felt that he was being calculated.
Yang Chenghuang seemed to understand Ye Zhiyuan's affairs very well, as he was talking inside and out.
It seems that I have been involved in the officialdom and the battle of the city god.
The most important thing is that I don't seem to have any other options.
"You are curious about Ye Zhiyuan's matter, and you are already involved in this karma. The path I let you choose now is also to let you understand this karma. There is no loss for you."
That makes sense.
If this is the case, why don't you just say it directly, and you have to beat around the bush.
Lin Ye curled his lips. He thought that the city was tricky and the people in this other world were simple, but he didn't expect the roads in the other world to be more slippery.
"What's the secret about Ye Zhiyuan, my lord might as well speak up."
"I don't know, you can handle this matter yourself. Now you can take your brother and Ye Zhiyuan's soul and leave."
Yang Chenghuang's figure disappeared, including those errands. Only Daohai and Ye Zhiyuan who came out from behind the statue remained in the entire Chenghuang Temple.
"Please, sir, give me justice."
Ye Zhiyuan came out and bowed to Lin Ye. The corner of Lin Ye's mouth twitched. Looking at the statue of the city god, he secretly raised his middle finger.
…
…
"Dawu, bring some bundles of straw over there, the floor is a bit hard."
At the foot of the mountain, in the deserted earth temple.
The old Taoist priest directed the young Taoist priest to hold the straw, and then lay on it, stretching comfortably.
"Master, since sleeping here is not comfortable, why did you refuse the invitation of the City God to stay as a guest just now? Then the City God invited us to stay overnight in the City God Temple."
Da Wu was very puzzled, the Temple of the City God looked good, but the master was unwilling, so he went out of the city overnight and finally chose to spend the night in this desolate temple.
"Dawu, I will teach you another trick today as a teacher. There is no free lunch in this world. These city gods were also human beings, and they are smarter than ordinary people. When dealing with city gods, be careful of being tricked. Do you remember us? Ye Sheng was the Taoist who came to burn incense."
"I remember that Mr. Ye opened a private school in the county and taught many students. Every time he would come to our Taoist temple to burn incense and pray for his son in his hometown."
Dawu still has an impression of that Mr. Ye, because every time Mr. Ye came to the Taoist temple to burn incense, he would ask him if he needed to read at a young age, and gave him several books to read.
"That Ye Sheng has great karma in his body. When he went to the Taoist temple to offer incense, there were ghosts and ghosts pushing behind him. He thought that the teacher would be curious and then be contaminated with this karma. But who am I as a teacher, how can I be fooled by this? Incense I will accept the money, and I will not ask about Ye Sheng's affairs."
The old man is very proud, don't care about who is behind it, he won't take it.
I don’t know which nosy person will be pulled into the pit later.
…
…
"Mr. Lin, I only found out what happened to me after being awakened by the City God. I still hope that Mr. Lin will make the decision for me."
Lin Ye took Daohai and Ye Zhiyuan back to his house. Ye Zhiyuan looked sad and angry, and told what happened to him.
Ye Zhiyuan was ambitious at a young age, brilliant in writing, and became famous throughout Poyang County. Many high-ranking officials and dignitaries often invited him to banquets. Later, he met a Li Yuanwai.
Li Yuanwai is also a literati, and every time he entertains him with delicious food and wine, Ye Zhiyuan is also familiar with this Li Yuanwai, and he often goes to Li Yuanwai's house as a guest.
When he entered the county for the first time to participate in the scientific examination, Ye Zhiyuan did not expect to meet Li Yuanwai in the county. That night, Li Yuanwai invited him to a banquet, but Ye Zhiyuan did not refuse, because he was confident in his literary talent. The township examination is no problem.
"Mr. Lin, I had to be woken up by the City God, so I remembered the situation after the banquet. After the banquet, Li Yuanwai said that he wanted to test my literary talent. He asked me a few questions, and I answered them on the spot. And those few questions were exactly the questions of that scientific examination."
Lin Ye's eyes sank, and Dao Hai opened his mouth slightly...
"It's a pity that I faced the same question in the imperial examination on the second day, but I couldn't write the answer that day. Now it seems that my memory of that day was sealed, and the exam was also affected."
"After I failed the ranking, I went back to Poyang County, and Li Yuanwai was very comforting to me. He was even more enthusiastic than before, and entertained me with delicious food every day..."
When he said this, Ye Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed, Lin Ye's expression didn't change, it's normal for a young man to be carried away by others.
For three years, Ye Zhiyuan spent most of his time at Li Yuanwai's residence. Li Yuanwai persuaded him, saying that some of the real great writers were officials in the imperial court, and they were all devoted to mountains and rivers. He was willing to subsidize He asked Ye Zhiyuan to travel around the mountains and rivers, as long as Ye Zhiyuan didn't go to the test for fame, but Ye Zhiyuan refused.
Then history repeated itself, Ye Zhiyuan failed again in the second imperial examination.
"Mr. Lin, I just learned today that Mr. Li is the City God of Poyang County. Please uphold justice for me."
I'll preside over your mother's slap.
Lin Ye really wanted to give himself two slaps. When it came to the City God, why was he so curious at the beginning?
Obviously, Ye Zhiyuan should have been admitted to fame, but Li Chenghuang did something wrong, but I don't know why Li Chenghuang did this?
"Junior brother, Li Chenghuang is a yin secretary, and this matter in the yang world has nothing to do with him."
Dao Hai couldn't figure it out, but Lin Ye had a guess in his mind.
At the same time, he also understood why Yang Chenghuang set up this game, it was a game against Li Chenghuang.
"Let's go to Senior Brother Daoyuan first."
Lin Ye took Dao Hai and Ye Zhiyuan's souls to Miaoying Temple. After a quarter of an hour, Dao Yuan, who knew what happened, also frowned. The matter in front of him involved two city gods, so it was definitely not easy.
"Brother Daoyuan, brother, no matter what conspiracy they have, what Li Chenghuang did was wrong first, and we only need to seek justice for Ye Zhiyuan."
Dao Hai couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it. Lin Ye and Dao Yuan looked at each other, how could things be so simple.
"Brother, this time I'm here..."
"Stop it, Junior Brother Daoji, this City God does not belong to our Buddhist system, and it has nothing to do with Miaoying Temple if you want to sue."
When Dao Yuan saw Lin Ye speak, he immediately interrupted him. Lin Ye smiled and said, "Actually, I also know a little about Taoism, and I will know how to write this book."
Daoyuan:…
Hearing this, Dao Hai looked at Lin Ye in shock.
"It's a bit complicated to learn. Before I became a lay disciple of our Miaoying Temple, I was still a named disciple of Qingfeng Temple."
Daoyuan looked up at the sky, what was the abbot blinded by, why did he accept such a person?
