Tong Shan's eyes widened when he heard the words.
" Huh?!"
His mind froze at this moment. He had done all kinds of evil and taken away his lifespan…
Whoosh--
The clang of the chains rang out, and Tong Shan came back to his senses.
In front of his eyes, the black Li Gou was pulled out of his body, and the evil spirit in his body was pulled away. The Li Gou grabbed the evil spirit's lute bone, and the evil spirit howled in pain. Its face was filled with fear, and a special light was pulled out of his body by the Li Gou.
"No, no…"
Tong Shan raised his hand to grab the light that was being pulled out, to grab the chain from the hook. He instinctively felt that he could not lose that ball of light. It was more important than the evil ghost in his body!
He couldn't grab it and could only watch helplessly as the hook was retracted.
In a flash.
Tong Shan saw that the skin of the hand that reached out to grab the hook was wrinkled and shriveled. In a few seconds, it had become an old man's hand.
"This is?" Tong Shan's expression changed. He recalled the voice of the Ghost God he had just heard and thought of something.
He touched his face.
In an instant!
Tong Shan cried out in horror. His hand touched the wrinkles. At the same time, he felt that his body was far from what it used to be. He felt like he was old and powerless.
In a short period of time, he had turned from an energetic middle-aged man into a wrinkled old man.
My lifespan has really been taken away.
Twenty years!
Tong Shan looked at Black Impermanence and leaned towards him. His movements were in a flurry, and he accidentally bumped into something and staggered and fell.
"Quick, give me back my lifespan!!”He didn't care about these things. There was a look of fear on his face. He wanted to take back his lifespan. He was extremely panicked and his voice became old along with his body.
On the other side.
Qin Xingfa was the same as Tong Shan. He had also aged.
He was trembling all over…
Looking at his aged hands, the reflection of the old man's face on the iron kettle, and his half-black and half-white hair, Qin Xingfa trembled in fear.
Qin Xingfa's head was buzzing.
How could this be, how could this be…I, I…
The next moment, Qin Xingfa looked at Black Impermanence and knelt on the ground with a bang. The sound of kowtowing could be heard.
"Please, please, give me back my lifespan. I was wrong. I will definitely be good in the future.”
He said unhappily.
Tears flowed down from her eyes, and she cried so hard that those who did not know would feel sorry for her.
Qin Xingfa was scared.
He was old. Fifteen years of his lifespan had been taken away from him, so how many more years did he have left to live? Looking at his old appearance, he was afraid, and at the same time, regret spread in his heart.
People would often regret when they made a mistake, made a big mistake, or caused a big problem.
Qin Xingfa was like that now.
He was regretting what he had done wrong. He should not have secretly divided the land and approved the land use rights for other people's money, and he should not have…
He regretted doing something illegal.
If he didn't do it, would he be in trouble today?
Hearing Qin Xingfa's words.
Tong Shan reacted and immediately learned to beg for mercy. He wanted Black Impermanence to return his lifespan to him.
He didn't feel regret like Qin Xingfa, but fear. He felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness. It was a feeling of his body and his mind. In front of Black Impermanence, he felt like he was looking up at an unimaginably thick black mountain.
"Haha…"
Black Impermanence was laughing. His voice was very cold, and it was bone-chilling.
He was smiling.
The dark face of the ghost god was cold, and the eyes under the official hat were indifferent and calm.
Wuyan moved. He turned around and left. The wall behind him disappeared and was replaced by a path filled with gray mist. It seemed to lead to the Shing Wong's underworld, to the Shing Wong Hall where the Netherworld God, Shing Wong, was.
Hualala.
The hook shook, and the chains clattered. Quan Maoyan, Bian She, and the others 'souls, as well as the malicious ghosts, were struggling. They were pulled away by the chains and dragged away by Black Impermanence.
They disappeared.
Black Impermanence had captured the souls of seven people and taken away five ghosts. He had left and disappeared from this place.
Tong Shan wanted to chase after him, but he realized that when he walked over, he was facing a wall. The exquisite wooden design of the private room, Black Impermanence, was gone.
In an instant, Tong Shan touched the wall.
He didn't give up. He wanted to find Black Impermanence. He couldn't accept the fact that he was getting old.
Right here.
Creak--
The door of the VIP room opened. Bian She's jump attracted the attention of the manager of the restaurant.
" President Quan, you guys…" The two managers and three waiters rushed in.
However, the moment they entered, they were stunned.
In the room.
The boss of the restaurant was lying on the ground. There were four other people like him. Two of them were women, and they had two bodyguards.
An old man in a suit was kneeling on the ground and crying beside a chair. It made people's hearts ache.
On the south wall, a fat old man was touching the wall like a madman, muttering some strange words,'Black Impermanence, where are you?''Don't go, don't go' and 'I'm wrong'.
The French window was broken.
A cool breeze blew in.
Everything inside was strange and strange.
What was going on?
In an instant, the person in charge and the others were all shocked.
At this moment.
They were subconsciously attracted by the crying. Their gazes fell on the old man who was crying on his knees in the house, and a thought appeared in their minds.
This old man looked familiar…
……
City God Temple.
An Yanyuan sat on an empty bench and watched the children playing with each other.
The two little kids were pushing each other over the ownership of a beautiful little stone. They both liked little stones, but there was only one, so they planned to give it to each other.
He looked young, but he had a popularity that even adults did not have.
Vaguely.
They thought that their friend didn't want this small stone, so they said something interesting to each other." Here you go. Didn't you let me play with your big bear toy last time? This small stone is yours. No, last time I ate ice cream, I dropped it on the ground, so you gave me yours."
“……”
An Shiyuan was amused." It seems that the parents of the two children have good upbringing.”
He flicked his finger lightly, and a ray of light landed on the ground, quietly turning into a small stone.
"Xiaomiao, what do you want…There's one here too.”
As the little boy spoke, he saw a small stone on the bald grass beside him. It looked very similar to the one in their hands.
He hurriedly ran over to pick it up.
Then, he compared it to the stone in his hand and smiled happily.
The two stones were exactly the same.
"Xiaomiao, look, there is also a stone here. This one is for you, this one is for me. We each have one.”
"Wow, Peng Peng, how did you find it?”
The little girl took the little stone from the little boy's hand and smiled happily, revealing her little milk teeth. She was extremely cute.
The two little kids were happy. They took the little stones and ran to their parents to show off that they had found two beautiful little stones.
The child's parents laughed.
They praised their children for being great, but they didn't pay much attention to Little Rock as they spoke. They didn't notice that they were exactly the same. Perhaps in the future, they would notice when they were packing the children's things on the table. Perhaps they wouldn't notice. No one knew what the future would be like.
An Shiyuan looked at the two children with a smile.
The next moment, the familiar system voice sounded.
Ding…Black Impermanence punishes evil, takes life, seizes soul, and obtains longevity. Special check-in has been triggered. Do you want to sign in?
"Sign in."
An Shiyuan said after the system finished speaking.
[Sign in. Obtained: Number of guided good men from the vulva under your jurisdiction: 3.]
[Sign in. Obtained: 100 Merit Points.]
The sound of rewards echoed.
A hundred rays of merit light appeared from all directions and fell into the City God Temple. After entering the temple, due to the four-fold merit buff, they became four hundred rays of merit and entered the body of the Deep Mud Statue.
An Yanyuan immediately sensed this.
However, he didn't pay much attention to the increase in merit. Instead, he looked at the reward in surprise." There's another reward that I've never seen before.”
The rewards were repetitive, such as merit, cultivation, and so on.
And this time, the reward was an unknown item that was similar to the Source Ghost Pill. An Yuanyuan was interested.
Soon after.
He checked the introduction.
Soon, he knew what the new reward was.
The messenger of death was a person who had done good deeds before his death. After death, he was rewarded with good deeds and became a ghost.
And the function of this thing was to 'poach' people. To put it bluntly, it was a 'messenger of death' candidate who did not belong to the territory under his jurisdiction. They were attracted here by a special force. This kind of attraction was not forced, but a gradual and mysterious way of roping them in.
The number of times he could attract talents was three.
An Yuanyuan flipped his palm.
A special stone appeared in his palm. It looked like a miniature Three Life Stone, but it also looked like a miniature village landmark stone.
The stone was flickering, and there was a brilliant light flowing on its surface. Three names could be vaguely seen, but these three names were rather vague.
"If you want to appear, you need at least ten days.”An Shiyuan looked at the first name.
This name was clearer than the other two, which meant that this person appeared earlier than the other two and would appear in the three cities and one district under his jurisdiction.
He looked at the traction stone.
An Shiyuan shook his head slightly and chuckled.
If there were City Gods in this era, and every county and city had their own City Gods, this stone would not be called a traction stone. It should be called a foot digging stone, which was specially used to dig the corners of other City Gods.
Then, he put the traction stone into his sleeve.
At this moment.
An Yanyuan saw the interesting old man from the temple fair, Old Li, walking into the courtyard with a chuckle.
"That's…"
His gaze fell on a small red brocade bag hanging from the left breast pocket of Old Li's shirt.
There was a special fragrance floating out of it. Although An Yanyuan was far away, this distance was nothing to him.
He sniffed.
"Zhu Yu."
An Anyuan said to himself.
The smell came from a plant called Zhu Yu. It looked like a cherry tomato.
Looking at Old Li, his eyes became hazy, and memories of the past surfaced in his mind.
He would wear a similar outfit every Double Ninth Festival.
He put the red and tiny Zhuyu seeds squeezed out of the Zhuyu fruit into a small cloth bag and hung them on his chest, waist, and occasionally on his arm. The taste was still fresh in his memory.
This was not a special hobby of his, but a custom from the past.
The Double Ninth Festival was very important in the eyes of the people of the past. They attached great importance to the Double Ninth Festival and held various activities every Double Ninth Festival. They climbed high to pray, went on an autumn tour to admire chrysanthemums, wore jade ornaments, worshipped gods and ancestors, and held banquets to pray for longevity.
It could be said to be quite rich.
And now, there was an additional respect for the elderly on the Double Ninth Festival.
"Nowadays, people rarely bring Zhu Yu along.”An Yanyuan looked at Zhu Yu and muttered in reminiscence.
Times were changing, people were changing, and the customs of festivals were also slowly changing. It was just like how people in the past valued marriage. There were many ceremonies that were so complicated that An Shiyuan's scalp went numb. However, people now were much simpler. Everything was simpler. If this was in the past, people would definitely complain about whether they married a concubine and did it hastily.
On this point, An Yanyuan agreed with the modern world. Some things were cumbersome and not good.
Among the activities of the Double Ninth Festival, the most important ones in modern times were to respect the elderly and appreciate the autumn. It was the biggest activity of the Double Ninth Festival in this era. However, there were fewer jade ornaments and jade ornaments, and they were slowly lost in the long river of history.
"Ask the messenger of death to pick some Zhu Yu.”
An Yuanyuan muttered to himself and made a plan.
He planned to give the ghost infant a small Zhu Yu bag, and get one for himself, for Ah Nu, no, for all the messengers of death.
He thought of this.
An Yanyuan laughed heartily. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
Then, he shook his head slightly and walked into the underworld.
" I was too busy, I actually forgot to take care of Zhu Yu. I need to let the messenger of death…Eh, there's no need to call him messenger of death, you can call him Shan Gong. He's the most suitable person to pick Zhu Yu…"
The person disappeared, and his voice slowly spread out on the spot.
……
"Hahaha."
Before Old Li arrived, his laughter spread into the courtyard of the City God Temple.
Sun Hai, who was preparing for the temple fair during the Double Ninth Festival, looked over.
"You found money? Why are you so happy?"
"The stock I bought has risen.”
"The stocks? You're already old, yet you're still playing with those things like young people. Didn't I tell you not to play with stocks?”
"We have nothing to do. I heard others say that we're old and can't bring that much money with us. If we have more, we might as well save it in the bank or play with funds and stocks. There's nothing to do at home. We have plenty of time to study stocks.”
"You just do whatever you hear. Can't you just deposit it in the bank?”
Sun Hai shook his head.
Although he said that to Old Li, he had played it some time ago, but…he had fallen so badly that he wanted to cry. In the end, he quit and lost some money. After that, he saved it in the bank and occasionally did some financial management. At least he could still earn some money.
"Let me tell you, if you want to do it, just learn from me. Be reasonable…Eh, what did you bring?”
"Zhu Yu."
"Zhu Yu?" Sun Hai suddenly realized that Old Li wasn't a local. When he was young, he came to Cang City to work and finally settled down. In Old Li's hometown, it was still popular to bring Zhu Yu along on the Double Ninth Festival.
"I went back to my hometown the day before yesterday and brought some back.”
Old Li took out a black bag full of Zhu Yu seeds from his pocket.
He gave each of them a small brocade bag." Take them with you to prevent and treat diseases.”
Hearing Old Li's words and then hearing him introduce the Double Ninth Festival customs, everyone present, regardless of age, seriously brought up this Double Ninth Festival custom.
Although most people nowadays did not follow the customs of the past, they would still take certain customs seriously when they heard about them. Especially customs that were beneficial to them, they would take them more seriously.
Old Li smiled when he saw everyone accept the items.
"Sun Hai, what are the arrangements for this year's new program?”He sat on a small stone stool and stared at the pile of red lanterns, paper flowers, and other things on the stone table.
He was supposed to stay in his hometown for a few more days, but he still came back early. His purpose was to come to the City God Temple to help.
Hearing Old Li's question.
Sun Hai's face lit up." This year's Double Ninth Festival is going to be a special event, hahahaha.”
He laughed at the end of his sentence.
This was not because he was bragging, but because of the scale of the temple fair he had organized. It could be said that this was the largest temple fair he had organized in decades since he became the manager of the temple fair.
"I've invited hundreds of delicacies to set up stalls. When the time comes, our street will be filled with delicacies. Then, I've also invited a circus.”
"Circus?" Elder Li stared at him." Last time, you mentioned a circus. This time, it really happened?!”
"Yes, I said I would do it last time, and I'm going to do it this time. A few days ago, a big boss came to this street. His house was demolished and he wanted to build a house on the empty land, so I went to discuss it with him. Boss Ji is a good person. When he heard that there was going to be a temple fair, he agreed on the spot. He even donated money. You don't know at that time, if I didn't stop him, the temple fair account would have added a few million more.”
"F * ck."
Old Li felt dizzy.
Millions?
Oh my god, do all the rich people nowadays have their own money printing machines at home?
He was overjoyed when he thought about how he had earned 300 yuan from the stock market…Then he thought about Boss Ji…
Old Li smiled. He thought about it and decided not to compete. What was there to compete for? They were not the same breed of people. He had earned a lot of money. He was content.
Suddenly, Old Li saw two people walking into the courtyard.
In an instant.
Elder Li jumped up from his chair." Aiya, Sister Tian Hua, why are you here? Why aren't you resting properly?"
It was his old friend, Pang Xiang's grandmother.
Sun Hai put down his work and hurried over.
Tian Hua was supported by a young girl as she walked over. Seeing that Old Li, Sun Hai, and the others were about to come over, he quickly waved his hand and smiled.
"I can walk on my own. There's no need to be so nervous.”
"It's not a matter of nervousness. You should take care of your body.”
Sun Hai was helpless. Then, the young temple staff next to him sensibly cleared a seat with lanterns for Tian Hua and the others.
"Thank you. Look at my body. I'm very healthy. I just want to see more and walk more.”Tian Hua thanked the young temple fair staff with a smile and then looked at Old Li and the others.
"When my body is better, I can look at it anytime.”
"It's fine. I'm already very healthy. I just want to walk more now.”
Tian Hua smiled and introduced the girl who was supporting her." This is Xiaoxiao. I told you about her last time.”
Hearing this.
Old Li and the others did not bother with Tian Hua's question and looked at Xiaoxiao.
Then, they began to praise Xiaoxiao. Tian Hua had a smile on his face. As he spoke, he took the flower that was about to be folded and folded it.
Tian Hua's face was filled with a gratified smile." Xiaoxiao, these grandparents are more enthusiastic. I hope they didn't scare you."”
She tried to smooth things over.
Xiaoxiao shook her head.
"It's nothing, Grandma. Speaking of which, I know Grandpa Li. The last time Qiuyue and I came over to shoot, it was Grandpa Li who made things convenient for us.”
"Filming? Oh! I remember now. I knew you looked familiar. The last time you were filming…"
Old Li was enlightened.
Some time ago, two young girls said that they wanted to look for Lord Shing Wong to prove that he was the Shing Wong. Old Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry at that time. Lord Shing Wong was sincere, so there was no need to look for him. After that, the two girls didn't come back for a few days, so he didn't take it to heart. Now that he heard it, he immediately remembered.
"How was it? Did you guys film it?”
"No, I haven't." Xiaoxiao shook her head." But we believe that Lord Shing Wong is real.”
Old Li was all smiles." Lord Shing Wong is definitely real. It's all thanks to Lord Shing Wong that I can carry a chubby kid and give birth to my stinky kid.”
He had always felt that Lord Shing Wong really existed, both in the past and now.
Seeing that Old Li was going to talk about the past again, everyone was helpless.
At this moment.
Two young men walked over from afar.
"Pang Xiang is here." Sun Hai looked at the two young men walking over.
That was Sister Tian Hua's grandson, Pang Xiang. He also knew the other one, Pang Xiang's good friend, Wen Hongwen.
"Grandma."
Pang Xiang walked into the courtyard and shouted with a smile.
As he spoke, he vaguely looked at the temple hall of the City God Temple.
He thought so, and so did Wen Hongwen…
