Because of the land / territory vacancy? It is not able to receive and instruct the ghost, has an accident noisily? Also is not right...... only town/subdues land / territory, what was also considered as? Did City God send directly again not on the line?” “土地庙被毁？难道就是因为土地缺位？无法接引亡魂,才闹出事来？也不对啊……区区一镇土地,又算得了什么？城隍直接再派个不就行了？” At this time were not many asked that after all, shop waiter, can know so many, has somewhat come as a surprise to Wu Ming. 这时也不多问,毕竟,一个店小二,能知道这么多,已经有些出乎吴明的预料了。 At that moment drinks drinks the foot full, after spending several hundred articles to pay up, walked leisurely. 当下喝饱喝足,花了几百文结帐之后,才款款走了出来。 ...... …… „City God temple?!” “城隍庙？！” Goes out, Wu Ming asked the direction, at this time before arrives at the City God temple . 出门的时候,吴明就问了方向,此时就来到城隍庙之前。 This world is bright! 此世有神！ Even continues here, Great Zhou world, also has existence of Divinity. 甚至不止这里,就连大周世界,也同样有着神祗的存在。 In the ancient times Heaven's child pulled under the Heaven / World authority, had the energy of being the master of one's fate, can be popular the waste subordinate ghosts and gods at the sacrificial offering! 古代天子手挽天下权柄,有造命之能,也能在祭祀上兴废中下级鬼神！ The related Divinity origin, were many and varied. 有关神祗的来历,就多种多样了。 Some are the celebrity official before death Fuze, after dying has mystical powers, was set up the ancestral hall sacrificial offering. 有的乃是名人官员生前福泽一方,死后有灵,被立祠祭祀。 Some are inborn Elf / Spirit, strength of union naturally and mountains and rivers and Water Vein, must hold authority. 有的乃是天生精灵,自然而然与山川、水脉之力结合,得掌权柄。 Also some simply are Mountain Spirit monster, ghost creature evil charm, deceives the countryside foolish couples, consecrates by the incense blood food. 还有的干脆就是山精妖怪,鬼物邪魅,骗得乡下愚夫愚妇,以得香火血食供奉。 Must mention, the origin is all sorts of strange and unusual, but must always result in the royal government acknowledgment, or given by heaven God's Obligation, builds the fruits of virtue, otherwise all calculates that ‚evil cults evil sacrifice’, by existence that legitimate Government Authority suppresses. 总得说来,来源千奇百怪,但总必须得了朝廷承认,又或者天授神职,才算修成正果,否则都一律算‘淫祠邪祭’,被正统官府打压的存在。 Heitai County City God, naturally calculates that builds the fruits of virtue that kind, the temple occupies a land area of several mu, quite somewhat dignified flavor. 黑台县城隍,自然算修成正果的那一类,庙宇占地数亩,颇有些庄严的味道。 In the hearsay, Heitai City God given name Wang Xuanfan, was the previous dynasty successful candidate, during this place took on the R county magistrate, urges Sang Yangcan, the cleaning up politics, within the boundaries with deep veneration, the high moral standard in society, law and order prevail, the population grew, might be called the great order. 传闻中,黑台城隍本名王玄范,乃是前朝进士,于此地担R县令期间,劝桑养蚕、清理政治,境内肃然,路不拾遗,夜不闭户,人口增长,堪称大治。 Afterward the royal government increased taxes, this person pleaded on behalf of the people, was exiled, dies of illness on the road, the countian felt it, constructed the ancestral hall sacrificial offering for him, but had been smashed several times. 后来朝廷加税,此人为民请命,被流放,病死在路上,县民感之,为他建祠祭祀,只是又被捣毁过几次。 Until this toward, the governor of prefecture hears this matter, the reporting day listens, asking the aim to construct the temple sacrificial offering, after the twists and turns, was considered as the imperial edict life, builds the fruits of virtue. 直到本朝,知府听闻此事,才上奏天听,请旨建庙祭祀,几经波折,才算得了敕命,修成正果。 Wu Ming to the temple, saw above the shrine, the idol is solemn. 吴明到了神殿,就见神坛之上,神像俨然。 All around god curtain dangles, the cigarette curls, when a good phoebe zhennan long and narrow table, above is consecrating four sacrificial offerings, most middle is actually a clay sculpture idol of middle-aged scholar, wears the 7th Grade official's costume, grave solemn and respectful, in the eye resembles to have the dignity. 四周神幔垂下,香烟袅袅,一条上好的楠木案桌,上面供奉着四时祭品,最中间却是一名中年文士的泥塑神像,身穿七品官服,庄重肃穆,目中又似带着威严。 Does in Rome as Rome does, Wu Ming also lights the incense stick, did obeisance several to do obeisance. 入乡随俗,吴明也点燃线香,拜了几拜。 „Un?” “嗯？” In an instant, his brow moves. 刹那间,他的眉头就是一动。 martial arts to True Qi Realm peak, Half-Step Innate, making his body induction exceed mortal ten times, at this time felt a attention of strength keenly. 武功到了真气境巅峰,半步先天,令他身体感应超越凡人十倍,此时就敏锐感觉到了一股力量的关注。 „Divine Power?” “神力么？” This type felt that flashes passes, if not Wu Ming heart Spirit Power quantity as keen as the extreme, but also did not discover seriously. 此种感觉一闪而逝,若非吴明心灵力量敏锐到极点,还当真发现不了。 Naturally, discovered, no important matter. 当然,就是发现了,也没什么大事。 After all Yin-Yang different way, Godly Spirit , to interfere with Yang-world, especially Wu Ming this martial arts almost practices peak exuberantly, qi and blood to the person of extreme, is not that easy matter. 毕竟阴阳殊途,神灵要想干涉阳世,特别是吴明这种武功几乎练到巅峰,气血旺盛到极点之人,也不是那么容易之事。 „Pilgrim please stay!” “香客留步！” Contributed money silver coin(s) sesame oil, Wu Ming wants to leave, the ear bank actually broadcast the sound. 捐了一钱银子的香油,吴明就想离开,耳畔却又传来声音。 Then looks, sees the person who a temple attendant in charge of incense and ceremonies dresses up, stands with a smile there: „What matter did pilgrim seek? How might as well come in the divination an trigram?” 回头一望,就见个庙祝打扮的人,笑吟吟立在那里:“香客所求何事？不如前来卜上一卦如何？” „Also good!” “也好！” Wu Ming has no particular preference follows this temple attendant in charge of incense and ceremonies, arrives in front of a small table. 吴明无可无不可地跟着这个庙祝,来到一个小桌面前。 „Does not know that the customer is asking the marriage affinity? Future?” The temple attendant in charge of incense and ceremonies is solemn and respectful, a little aura, the flavors of some quite god sticks. “不知道客官是问姻缘？还是前程？”庙祝肃穆着,就有点气场,颇有些神棍的味道。 This matter, Wu Ming previous life does not believe. 这种事,吴明前世是不信的。 But at this time, arrives at Gods and Ghosts World, actually rather believes its has, incredible its does not have, said: „Helps overcome difficulties!” 但此时,来到神鬼世界,却是宁可信其有,不可信其无,就道:“解难！” „So, but also please inscribe a character at will!” “如此,还请随意写上一字！” Wu Ming takes the writing brush, unfolds the white paper, wrote ‚not to have’ character at will. 吴明拿起毛笔,铺开白纸,随意写了个‘无’字。 „Well?” “咦？” The temple attendant in charge of incense and ceremonies exclaims in surprise one: „Originally does not have a thing, does where annoy the dust? According to the Young master appearance, must not have the tribulation to be right without the disaster, but in does the world also possibly have this person? Really wonderful strange!” 庙祝惊叹一声:“本来无一物,何处惹尘埃？按照公子的面相,应当无灾无劫才对,但世上又怎么可能有着这种人？真是奇哉怪也！” „What Young master asked was helps overcome difficulties......” “公子求的是解难……” The temple attendant in charge of incense and ceremonies fishes out a tortoise shell, several copper coin, the mouth mumbled, suddenly the tortoise shell one but actually, several copper coin regular arrays on the white paper, with ‚did not have’ character to complement each other. 庙祝摸出个龟壳,几枚铜钱,嘴里念念有词,忽然将龟壳一倒,数枚铜钱规则排列在白纸上,与‘无’字相得益彰。 „Young master given by heaven Deity, the Fate Standard future is not I can look, if only solves difficultly, can seek toward south actually!” “公子天授神人,命格前程不是我能看着,但是若只求解难的话,倒是可以往南处去寻！” The temple attendant in charge of incense and ceremonies is staring, forehead sweating straight, resembles consumption massive mental efforts, therefore, reluctantly saying. 庙祝瞪着眼睛,额头虚汗直下,似耗费大量心力之故,勉强说着。 „Southern place?” “南处？” The Wu Ming knitting the brows head, thinks of this time County City layout, mostly east expensive/noble west rich north poor south inexpensive, is the east district and west district, is the officials red girdles residence, the north side and south, is actually a civilian, and even the slum area existed generally. 吴明皱了皱眉头,想到此时的县城布局,大多东贵西富北贫南贱,也就是东区与西区,才是官宦缙绅住所,北边与南边,却是小民,乃至贫民区一般的存在了。 „The word of Divine Ghost, cannot completely believe that has a look actually also to might as well!......” “神鬼之言,不可尽信,看看却也无妨！只是……” Wu Ming sneers at heart. 吴明心里冷笑。 This district City God, seemed him regarded the board game piece, must be that person of playing chess. 这个县城隍,好似将他当成了棋子,要做那下棋之人了。 Naturally, can be treated as the board game piece, explained finally a little uses. 当然,能被当作棋子,总算还说明有点用。 Even uses, still the ratio excludes. 即使是利用,也比排斥在外强一点。 „Many thanks this mister, myself said goodbye!” “多谢这位先生,在下告辞了！” Wu Ming deeply looked at this temple attendant in charge of incense and ceremonies finally. 吴明最后深深望了一眼这庙祝。 Sees this person of whole body to shake, in the eye reveals the color of being at a loss, brings dreadfully, does not expose, shows a faint smile, abandons more than ten writing money, the stride. 就见此人浑身一震,眼睛中露出迷惘之色,更带着猥琐,也不点破,微微一笑,扔下十几文钱,大步而出。 „Seeming like...... this must then be City God, and even county magistrate, with the test of strength of another influence, even falls in leeward, or has the scruples, has to look for the foreign aid?” “看起来……这应当便是城隍,乃至县尊,与另外一个势力的角力,甚至落于下风,或者有着顾忌,才不得不来找外援么？” If the person of ordinary cultivate Dao, meets this karma to pester the serious matter, perhaps evaded being less, far escaping thousand li (500 km). 若是普通修道之人,遇到这种因果纠缠甚重之事,恐怕早就避之不及,远遁千里了。 But Wu Ming is different. 但吴明不同。 Just like the temple attendant in charge of incense and ceremonies said before, his world did not have karma, even just traveler, there is what to fear? 正如之前庙祝所言,他对此世本来就没有因果,甚至只不过过客,又有何惧？ County magistrate how? City God how? 县尊又如何？城隍又如何？ If went against itself the say/way, may cut it in the same old way! 若逆了自己之道,照样可斩之！ Naturally, at this time must with the strength, he not be the two youngster of later generation, often was shouting how must go against heaven's will. 当然,此时还需借力,他也不是后世的中二少年,动不动就喊着要逆天怎的。 In the chest did not have the reason to be many a heroic feelings, recited: „Great ambition sometimes, will directly link up cloud Fanji the sea!” 只是胸中没来由地多了一股豪情,不由吟道:“长风破浪会有时,直挂云帆济沧海！” „Good!” “好！” Suddenly, nearby clothes scholars clap saying: „Takes seriously the poem!” 突然间,旁边一名青衫士子拍手道:“当真好诗！” Saw that the Wu Ming eye looks, on the face is one red: „This Young master invited, myself Ye Xiaoyou, accompanies mother to burn incense is also willing to come, seeing the Young master graceful bearing is uncommon, has a ready pen, desires something greatly, disrespectful disrespectful......” 见到吴明眼睛望过来,脸上又是不由一红:“这位公子请了,在下叶孝友,陪母亲上香还愿而来,见公子风姿不凡,出口成章,心向往之,失礼失礼……” At this time looked again, sees the Wu Ming 15-16 youngster, the brocade clothes big robe, the surface like the jade pendant adorning a hat, believes secretly. 此时再看,就见吴明十五六少年,锦衣大袍,面如冠玉,更是暗暗心折。 „Originally is Brother Ye, myself Wu Ming, other place person, travels hence......” “原来是叶兄,在下吴明,外乡人士,游历至此……” Wu Ming cups one hand in the other across the chest, sees behind Ye Xiaoyou, several horse-drawn vehicles are splendid, the maidservant servant clothing, then knows that this person of origin is good. 吴明拱拱手,又见叶孝友背后,几辆马车富丽堂皇,丫鬟仆役服饰,便知道此人出身不错。 „Young Master......” “少爷……” At this time, saw the car(riage) curtain to lift an corner/horn slightly, revealed bright eyes good look around eyes, was a meeting, a gold hairpin jade pendant, quite had the beautiful color maidservant to raise the skirt to come: „Mistress had been urging......” 这个时候,就见车帘微微掀开一角,露出一双明眸善睐的眼睛,又是一会,一名金钗环佩,颇有丽色的丫鬟就提着裙角过来:“主母已经在催了……” „My mother summons, is really sorry......” “家母有召,实在抱歉……” Ye Xiaoyou embarrassed submissively is the ritual: „myself lives in the eastern water lane entrance, first has two stone lions is...... Brother Wu , if there is free time, do not forget to look for the little brother surely!” 叶孝友不好意思地拱手为礼:“在下家住东水巷口,第一家有两座石狮的便是……吴兄若是有暇,千万勿忘了来找小弟！” „Is this person the rabbit?” “难道此人是兔子？” After this person loaths to part, Wu Ming is actually a chill. 此人依依惜别之后,吴明却是一阵恶寒。 Naturally, in the ancient times, by plagiarizing the ancient poetry, can indeed , when stepping-stone, but is thinking dominates king's aura one round, the four directions does obeisance, is actually has a dream. 当然,在古代,凭借抄袭古诗词,的确可以当敲门砖,但想着霸王气一发,四方来拜,却不过是做梦而已。
