Chapter 291 City God Temple
It has been a week since Jiang Yun became the True Lord of Demons in the Underworld. During this week, several generals sent by Jiang Yun to quell the demon world and attack the ghost king have all returned.
Jiang Yun was also promoted to their Yin position 6. With Wang Fan and Liu Xian on duty, Jiang Yun, who was on duty in the underworld, had a peaceful life.
However, these peaceful days cannot last longer, otherwise the bones will easily rust in that posture.
So Jiang Yun must find something for himself.
The thing he was looking for was to collect incense. After all, he is now a city god who controls the entire China. How can he not light incense?
So he had to do something, so he went to the Chenghuang Temple in the East District of Yanjing City.
Originally, there were five Chenghuang Temples in Yanjing, but four were demolished due to the opening of the city, so now there is only one in the East District left in Yanjing.
In folk legends, the City God is also called the City God God in some places. It is one of the important gods widely worshipped in ancient religious culture. Most of them are famous ministers and heroes who have made contributions to the local people. They are the gods who believe in protecting the city by the people and Taoism.
He is also a local official in the underworld, and his power is equivalent to that of the mayor of the Yang Realm. Therefore, the City God is related to the city and develops with the development of the city. He is in charge of the dead, rewarding good and punishing evil, life, death, misfortune and good, etc.
Although this Chenghuang Temple in the East District of Yanjing looks a bit dilapidated, the place is not small.
However, it was built in a remote place in the East District of Yanjing, so it is still very large.
However, at this time, the City God Temple seemed very deserted and there was not much incense.
At this time, Jiang Yun walked in slowly. The gatehouse was five or six meters high, and the shelter-style double-storey building was carved with countless ancient patterns. Although it was a little mottled after the baptism of time, you can still vaguely see the once gorgeous appearance.
After entering the gatehouse and passing the worship pavilion, it is the main hall.
In front of the hall, an old man in his sixties or seventies was quietly cleaning the fallen leaves in front of the hall.
The old man is very old and his head is gray.
The City God Temple is empty, with only a few young tourists scattered around, which looks very deserted.
At this time, Jiang Yun stopped in front of the hall and stared at the ancient words carved on the pillar on the right side of the hall: "The good ones will be helped by God."
However, on the pillar on the left, there is nothing.
"Why is there nothing on the right?" At this time, a young tourist came over, looking quite puzzled.
"It looks a bit weird."
"Why don't you make up for it?"
A boy came over and said in confusion.
Then all these tourists came over.
Jiang Yun looked at the hall for a while, then stared at the hall for a while, with a smile on his lips and said, "It's not the time yet."
"What does it mean?" The tourist said in confusion.
"You will know then." Jiang Yun said lightly.
"What is he talking about? What isn't it time?" A boy said in confusion, and then he looked at Zuo Zezhu. Is the City God Temple too deserted to be too lazy to repair the temple?
Jiang Yun smiled slightly, then walked into the hall, then suddenly turned around, glanced at the five people, and said, "Do you want to know what is written in the pillar on the left?"
"Young man, you know?"
At this time, the old man who swept the fallen leaves came over and asked.
"Old man, the words on the left pillar are gone, why don't you add them?" the girl asked curiously.
"I can't make up for it." The old man shook his head.
"Can't make up for it? What does it mean?" Several tourists were stunned when they heard it.
"Young man, do you know what is written on the left?" the old man asked again.
At this time, the tourists seemed quite curious and expectant.
Jiang Yun smiled and then said, "The good will be helped by God, and the evil will be punished by God."
After hearing this, the old man sweeping the floor became slightly surprised and said repeatedly: "How do you know?"
Jiang Yun didn't say anything, but just walked away quietly and looked up from the City God Temple.
The City God Temple is very deserted. Not to mention that there are not many tourists, there are not even a few good men and women, so there is no incense at all. At this time, Jiang Yun understood why he was so weak as the City God.
At this time, Jiang Yun walked slowly in the front and back halls, but he didn't meet a few people at all. He couldn't help but feel more and more disappointed.
After all, this City God Temple is not small and the building is very distinctive. Although it is a bit dilapidated, it is full of all organs. After all, it is a scenic spot. How could it be so deserted?
"Oh," Jiang Yun sighed helplessly, and then returned to the front of the hall.
At this time, the old man was still sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the hall, and the tourists had already left, and they seemed very lonely alone.
"Old man, why is it so deserted here?" Jiang Yun approached and asked. He felt that the Chenghuang Temple was too deserted, and the old man who was a temple prayer should know what was going on.
"It's going to be demolished." The old man sighed.
"Drained?" Jiang Yun frowned when he heard this. Someone dared to demolish the temple of my own official. The only one in Yanjing City God Temple was going to demolish it.
However, Jiang Yun still held back his anger and asked, "Why should the City God Temple be demolished? Although it is a little dilapidated, it's enough to repair it."
"I heard that a big boss is interested in this place and what kind of villa area to build." The old man shook his head, not very clear, and he seemed a little disappointed, "Oh, why should I demolish the City God Temple?"
"Villa area?" Jiang Yun was stunned. This place is located in the East District of Yanjing. Although it is not an economic center, it still has value for opening, and the villa area is a good choice.
"Old man, this City God Temple has a history of two or three hundred years. Everything here can be said to be a cultural relic and is of great value. Why should it be demolished?" Jiang Yun asked unwillingly.
"Cultural Relics? Which cultural relic is this?" The old man laughed twice, his voice full of mockery and helplessness.
"Old man, which unit is managing the City God Temple now? Do they ignore it?" Jiang Yun asked in confusion. He just walked around and found that the only old man was left in the entire City God Temple.
Logically speaking, general City God Temples are managed by Taoist priests, but some remote or small City God Temples are not like this.
"If you can't make money, no one will care." The old man shook his head, then said in a little disappointed manner: "Now, I am the only old man who is watching.
Have you seen that many places in the temple have collapsed and rotted, and there is no money to repair them..."
"Don't you have the money for sesame oil?" Jiang Yun continued to ask
"The money for sesame oil is not enough to buy oil." The old man shook his head and said, his voice indescribably desolate.
Jiang Yun's mouth twitched. He was like a city god so miserably.
