Chapter Twenty-Four: The Fox Was Surprised
Lin Dong and the others walked into the store and found a table against the wall to sit down. At this moment, some neighbors nearby were also sitting in the store.
As soon as he sat down, Lin Dong heard the conversation between the two sitting on the table next to them.
"Old Zhang, it's really strange."
On the table next to him, an old man with wrinkles and reading glasses whispered to the old man with the same age and a slightly fat man sitting opposite him.
"What's wrong? Lao Wang?"
The silver-haired old man called Lao Zhang asked.
"You know, my lumbar muscle strain has been in pain for decades. I don't know why I feel it has gradually recovered these days. I don't know if the foreign nutritional supplements my daughter bought for me have worked. I feel that my hands and feet are quick and I'm young."
After saying that, Lao Wang, who was full of wrinkles, twisted his waist like a naughty boy with joy and showed it to the old man surnamed Zhang.
"Oh, Lao Wang, are you the same? I have felt this way recently, and my whole body feels much more relaxed. My wife has been yelling about migraines for decades, and she doesn't hurt at night for a while. She can sleep well for the first time."
"Yes, I heard many old guys say this. Some of their minor problems have been alleviated these days, some of their chronic diseases have also improved, and people feel much younger."
After the wrinkled old man named Wang finished speaking, he paused again, and continued mysteriously:
"Old Zhang, in addition to these, I also heard a strange thing yesterday, which happened at the home of an old comrade-in-arms in Tonghua County next door. The clothes and cosmetics of my comrade-in-arms were stolen two days ago."
"Steal clothes and cosmetics? Now the thief is stealing in the room just to steal these things?"
"Yes, but this is not a strange place. My comrade-in-arms' home has a camera, and I happened to have a thief who was stealing something. Do you know what that thief is? Tsk tsk tsk... The thief who was stealing clothes and cosmetics turned out to be a white-haired fox, which scared my comrade-in-arms' family at that time."
"Ah, there are such strange things... The white-haired fox steals the little girl's clothes and cosmetics. As the old saying goes, the fox and weasel are not a good sign to enter the house, it is a bit evil!"
"Oh, yes, but it's good that nothing happened to anyone. There are more strange things that happened in Tonghua County these two days. My old comrade-in-arms son was in the bureau. A murder occurred there the day before yesterday. A middle-aged man died. Old man, do you know how that man died?"
"How did you die?"
"It seems like someone was sucked into blood and died! The whole person turned into a mummy."
"Ah...is this really happening?"
"It's true, but the news has been blocked from Tonghua County. You can just listen to it personally, but don't say it out."
"That's sure, that's sure, alas, the world is getting more and more uneasy..."
Lin Dong and the others listened with their ears, and the fat man held the blunt sword behind him and looked at Lin Dong:
"Brother Dong..."
Lin Dong waved his hand gently, and something he had been quite worried about these days finally happened.
Ghosts are about to emerge, demons appear in the world, and yin and yang are not distinguished, chaos is about to arise.
Daqian is so vast and the nine provinces are so large, but I don’t know if there is only the city god in Guobei. If this is true, how can billions of ordinary people on this earth be at peace?
After the hospital morgue was enfeoffed by the city god that night, Lin Dong also thought about this issue, and Lao Yu later tentatively mentioned it to him.
Lin Dong originally wanted to do his best to go to a few more places, entrust the city god to determine yin and yang.
But how easy is it? Not to mention how many cities there are in this Jiuzhou, it takes countless days to walk each place just by walking.
And where can I guarantee that I will encounter a demon of virtue and goodness when I go to a place.
After thinking about it, Lin Dong felt relieved again.
Although the imperial enthronement of a city god can solve the urgent problem, it finally taught him how to make fish.
In mythology, the City God is that incense becomes the way of gods. When the wind and clouds rise, the world is in chaos. Such incense gods will naturally emerge in response to the disaster.
In other words, the City God, who was granted by imperial seal, is now in this world where money is supreme and rich, and people are not suffering when they are suffering, it is difficult for believers to have such gods and gods and gods to be rewarded in the end.
The city god who came out of the disaster was the opposite.
And the most important thing for Shinto is also incense.
However, if these two old men were telling the truth, then I should go to Chenghuang Temple to ask Lao Yu about this strange thing and discuss whether there is any solution to it.
After all, Lao Yu has learned a lot more than he is a half-baked person.
It just so happened that I was going there to attend the construction ceremony of the City God Temple today, so I happened to go over and ask Lao Yu.
Just as he was thinking, the owner of the noodle shop brought two bowls of rice noodles, poured the fragrant slabs on the steaming snow-white rice noodles, and the green green onions with bright red spicy oil.
It immediately aroused Lin Dong's appetite, and the fat man also picked up the chopsticks and started to eat it in big mouthfuls.
After eating, the two walked out of the shop, and the fat man stammered behind him and said:
"Brother Dong, what the two old people just said... Do you want to go to Tonghua County?"
Lin Dong pondered for a while and said:
"Okay, let's go and have a look tomorrow."
Then he looked at the blunt sword wrapped in cloth behind the fat man, "If you want to go over, you have to find something to put your sword on."
The security checks between small counties are not too strict, but they are just shakingly carrying an iron sword about five feet long on their backs, which makes them a bit too disregarded to take the station staff seriously.
"I want it, Brother Dong, then I'll go to work first and find a box to put my sword on it."
The two of them were talking while walking. When they returned to the yard of the small foreign building, the fat man had not even taken off his blunt sword, and then rode the little blue electric donkey parked at the entrance of the yard and drove up the road. After a while, they disappeared into the traffic.
Lin Dong passed through the vegetable jelly, returned to the room, changed into a light casual dress, went out to the bus stop on the side of the road, and prepared to take bus No. 12 to the north of the county town.
The newly built City God Temple is located on the side of Guqu Road near the suburbs of the north of the city.
Two days ago, the city god Yu Tianxiang came here to invite Lin Dong to attend the construction ceremony. Lin Dong was originally happy to be afraid of quarrels, but the city god was granted by him. Lao Yu came to invite him several times, and he didn't want to give him face, so he decided to go over and take a look, and then asked Lao Yu about the strange things in Tonghua County that he had just heard.
After waiting for a while, bus No. 12 came over. Lin Dong got on the bus. It was not during the rush hour, and there were not many people on the bus.
Lin Dong found an empty seat to sit down, the bus stopped and drove slowly to the north of Guobei County.
