Stay up late on New Year's Eve with bursts of firecrackers.

During the day in Gongzhou City, wealthy families hung up peach charms on their houses. The adults were busy hanging lanterns, while children played at the door and jumped on the snow.

Even ordinary people will write couplets on red paper and stick them on the door to pray for the blessing of Tao Shenjun and ancestors. Folks say that this can ward off evil spirits.

Although this ordinary peach wood and ordinary red paper cannot have any effect at all, it originated from the custom of hanging the peach god tree in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It suppressed countless demons in the past, so it cannot be said to be false.

Judging from the popularity, this move will gradually evolve into a custom of staying up late at the end of the year.

The Taoist wore simple Taoist robes and entered the city. Because there were portraits of his gods everywhere in Gongzhou, and every household worshiped them, the Taoist had to change his appearance to an ordinary one, so as not to be discovered by others and spoil his interest.

.

The donkey following him, the Qinglong Tong'er who transformed into the follower Yunjun and the Taoist boy, at first glance looked like ordinary Taoist priests from a nearby Taoist temple who went to the city to purchase.

Walking around the bustling street, the Taoist smelled the aroma of wine from the Yingxian Inn and waved his hand.

"If you want to buy something or play something, go ahead and do it yourself."

"Before sunset, wait at the south gate."

After saying that, he stepped out and disappeared into the crowd.

The three guardians are also extremely excited. Although the Kunlun God Realm is majestic and majestic, due to the revival of spiritual inspiration, it is gradually taking on the appearance of a paradise and a realm of gods.

But after all, there were only the Taoist and the three of them, and it was quiet and lonely. Apart from bickering and playing cards, there was really no entertainment on weekdays.

After all, the three of them are not Dharma protectors who like to meditate, read and write, but they partly inherited the consistent style of a certain Taoist.

Being able to come out and play in the prosperous world is something that the three guardians have been looking forward to for a long time.

The Green Dragon Boy turned into a ray of light and disappeared. He was going to the Chengdong Theater to watch a play.

The General Donkey looked sad. Originally, this was the time for him to spread his wings. Wine shops, restaurants, gambling stalls, and storytellers were all places where he had access to all directions, but now he could no longer control them.

Because it has no silver.

General Donkey, who was caught by his master yesterday and suppressed for a day and a night without being able to move, cried and howled at night, piously admitting his mistake.

During the day, Kongchen Daojun spared the donkey for the sake of staying up late on New Year's Eve.

However, at the same time, it was logical to confiscate all the property of General Donkey, including the last copper plate hanging in the bag on his chest, and all of them were confiscated.

The Donkey General, who had been poor for a long time and suddenly became rich, once again returned to the days of poverty.

If you don’t have money, how can you waste money?

General Donkey doesn't dare to really cheat and do evil.

If you make mistakes on weekdays, the best I can do is slap it, since it has rough skin and thick flesh anyway.

If he really dares to do something evil, the master will really burn it to the ground. Recently, he doesn't even dare to go to the gambling stalls.

General Donkey looked around, and immediately found that the Qinglong children had left, but Yun Jun, who usually despised General Donkey, still stayed by his side.

General Donkey rolled his eyes, licked his face and stepped forward shamelessly.

"Hey!"

"Yunyao, lend me some money."

"Not much, just ten thousand taels."

But today is different from the past.

Yunjun, whose status was obviously lowered before and was teased and ridiculed by General Donkey, has now climbed to the top of General Donkey.

Yun Jun immediately pushed the donkey's head away in disgust: "No money, no money."

General Donkey immediately said: "Don't worry, I, General Donkey, will definitely pay back the money you borrowed."

"I'll give you the interest."

I definitely couldn’t believe what General Donkey said, but Mr. Yun was not a good person either. He raised his brows and immediately became ill-intentioned.

He took out a piece of silver to seduce him.

"There are only ten taels, do you want them?"

If it was not just ten taels, but even ten thousand taels, General Donkey would not even blink an eye. There are no rare treasures that are unique in the world, and General Donkey would not even look at them.

General Donkey felt insulted and hissed loudly: "Are you sending a beggar away?"

Yun Jun immediately put the money back into his sleeves. Seeing this, the poor General Donkey immediately stretched out his hoof to block Yun Jun's retracted hand.

"Forget it."

"Ten taels are okay! That's okay too!"

Yun Jun grinned: "Isn't this for nothing?"

"If you want this money, you have to carry me around the city."

General Donkey was so angry that white air came out of his nose. He looked like a soldier who could not be killed or humiliated: "What?"

"Your grandpa donkey and I have moral integrity. No one but me can even think of riding on grandpa donkey's head."

Yun Jun seemed to have seen through the nature of General Donkey and the low bottom line of his iron-clad character. He calmly took out a banknote: "One hundred taels~"

The syllables of the two words are very long.

General Donkey's iron-clad voice immediately became noticeably weaker: "Hey, General Donkey, I will never lack these one hundred taels wherever I go."

Yun Jun looked like he was about to turn around and leave: "Then how much do you want? I can tell you, there is no such store after this village?"

General Donkey gritted his teeth: "At least...we have to add another ten taels."

The donkey is poor but has short ambitions.

After taking out the banknotes and the previous silver ingots and paying a "huge sum" of one hundred and ten taels, Yun Jun realized the "supreme glory" that only belonged to the master in the past.

General Donkey accepted the money and took Yunjun around Gongzhou City. Neither Yun nor Donkey was a peaceful person, and he spent money along the way.

General Donkey was also thinking at the same time.

There must be a small vault that is secure and secret and cannot be discovered by the master, in order to keep the money in hand.

Otherwise, as long as the master discovers the money in his hand, he will not be able to keep it.

General Donkey pulled Yun Jun through the city in a swagger. This scene did not attract the attention of the mortals in the city, but attracted the attention of the ghosts and gods in Gongzhou City.

After all, as long as you observe these two carefully, you can find that they are unusual and have no fireworks. They also use illusions to hide themselves from time to time.

No matter how clever this spell is, it leaves no trace.

As the city god who guards the entire city and receives the incense of Gongzhou, he can still find anomalies in it.

In the City God's Temple, an old woman wearing a divine robe and leaning on an iron crutch suddenly opened her eyes, and the light in the divine realm spread out, revealing the influence of every corner of the city.

"Donkey God?" The donkey who could use spells, seemed to be talking, and was so magical made her confirm it almost immediately.

And for people who can sit on the back of the Donkey God, why bother thinking about it?

It must be Taojun Kongchen.

Gongzhou City God Chongling had just taken office not long ago. He did not expect to find the traces of Kongchen Daojun so quickly. He was immediately excited and wished he could lead Gongzhou ghosts and gods to greet him immediately.

Why was the whole Zhou Dynasty fighting so fiercely for the city god of Gongzhou? Isn't it because Gongzhou is at the feet of the so-called "Emperor"?

How could one not seize this kind of opportunity? Apart from anything else, it would be a huge opportunity to be able to become familiar with Taoist Master Kongchen.

However, after thinking about it, I realized that this Taoist king likes to play games in the world of mortals. Today is the end of the year, and Chong Ling is afraid of disturbing this Taoist king's interest.

So he carefully left the city god's incense and fire realm alone and quietly went to pay his respects.

General Donkey and Yun Jun were eating snacks on the street and watching the performers, and had just dispersed with the crowd.

Suddenly a divine light emerged, and a ghost appeared in front of them.

"Gongzhou City God Chongling."

"Greetings to Lord Kongchen."

Yunjun and General Donkey looked at each other.

General Donkey looked at Yun Jun: "Did you call me?"

Yun Jun pointed at himself: "You called me?"

Gongzhou City Goddess Chong Ling raised her head in surprise and looked at the two.

Did you admit that you were wrong? But it’s impossible!

General Donkey also saw that this man had mistakenly recognized the person, and laughed loudly.

"Quack, quack, quack."

"Old woman, your eyes are not very good!"

"This guy is Lord Yun Shenjun who serves under the master, not the master."

In front of outsiders, it was rare for General Donkey not to call Mr. Yun Yun Yao, and he didn't know if it was because he had received money from him.

The old woman suddenly realized: "It turns out to be Mr. Yun Shenjun. The little god took the liberty to admit his mistake. I hope Mr. Yun Shenjun and Donkey Shenjun will forgive me."
