Temple God

　Three splendid characters are written on the banner of the temple gate: Bogong Temple.

　　It can be said that

　　this is a land temple dedicated to the earth god.

　　The couplets posted on both sides of the front of the main hall:

　　Earth can produce all things,

　　The earth can make a thousand auspiciousness.

　　Inside the main hall, it was obsolete and shabby to the naked eye, and there was a thick layer of dust everywhere. There was only a tattered offering table, and it felt like a gust of wind could blow it down.

　　In front of the offering table, there are three futons, which seem to be woven from wicker.

　　On the offering table, there were several plates, white porcelain bowls, candlesticks without candles, and a censer mixed with rat droppings.

　　Most of the offerings on the plate are steamed buns, which are moldy and black.

　　The offerings placed in the bowl should be peaches, rotten and smelly.

　　Behind the offering table, against the wall, stood a clay sculpture, standing with its hands behind its back, looking up at the sky forty degrees, covered with many spider webs.

　　On the chest of the clay sculpture, I don't know who wrote two lines of graffiti, which are also couplets:

　　There are temples and no monks sweeping the ground,

　　More incense, more candles, less moonlight.

　　Such a small temple, so dilapidated.

　　But Dian Wei stretched his head and glanced at it, but he was shocked.

　　I saw a monster squatting on the futon in front of the offering table. His complexion was as pale as bone, he was only one meter tall, and his head was exaggerated, bigger than his body.

　　The huge head was pressed against the thin neck, extremely twisted and weird.

　　There seems to be a human face on the head, full of folds, empty eyes, no eyebrows, rosacea, and crooked mouth.

　　Scabies was still growing on his head, densely packed, looking very infiltrating.

　　This ghost look is already very scary, but what is even more scary is that its body is translucent.

　　To use an analogy, this monster is like a fat version of Gollum from The Lord of the Rings.

　　"ghost?!"

　　Dian Wei's heart is awe-inspiring, where is this special chance, it is clearly a day-to-day hell.

　　He didn't even think about it, he turned and ran.

　　"Young man, can you see me?" Suddenly, an old and dejected voice came.

　　Dian Wei's body tightened, and he turned his head halfway back slowly.

　　The monster was looking over, his eyes fell on Dian Wei's face, seeing Dian Wei turn his head and look at it with focused pupils, it suddenly became excited and said, "You can also hear my voice, right? "

　　Dian Wei's Adam's apple twitched, trying to keep his composure.

　　This ghost speaks words and should be able to communicate.

　　Also, it's broad daylight, so ghosts can't run into the sun, right?

　　Dian Wei took a step back, stood in the sun, and said boldly, "Wo are you, where is the holy place?"

　　This question comes out.

　　The monster was even more excited, and continued: "I don't dare to be holy, the little god is just a local land master, surnamed Zhang and Wende."

　　"Lord Tudi, just you?" Dian Wei blinked, his surprise written all over his face.

　　Dare that this ghost is the owner of this land temple!

　　In Journey to the West, the "Land Laoer" who was called by Brother Monkey and lingered, actually appeared in front of him.

　　"The world is amazing."

　　Dian Wei was amazed, and immediately thought, if there are earth gods here, then whether the gods and Buddhas are also...

　　At this time, Duke Tu took a few steps forward, looked at Dian Wei carefully with his empty eyes, and said with a trembling face: "It's strange, you are only a mortal, how can you see the 'Yin God'?"

　　Where did Dian Wei know what was going on.

　　Also, what is the yin god?

　　He pondered for a while, and said, "Lord Land God, a monster ate the whole village yesterday."

　　After all, he stared at Duke Tudi to see how he reacted.

　　Since you are a part of the land, if there are monsters running to your territory, you won't be indifferent.

　　Hearing this, Duke Tudi sighed: "That is a 'Bodhisattva', alas, the Bodhisattva wants to eat people,

Little God is powerless to stop it! "　　"What did you say, Bodhisattva?" Dian Wei was stunned, thinking he heard it wrong, "Bodhisattva, cannibalism?"

　　"What do Bodhisattvas eat when they don't eat people?" Duke Tui asked, "Yes, you are just a mortal, how could you possibly know what a Bodhisattva is?"

　　Dian Wei was speechless, "Then, will the Bodhisattva come back?"

　　"No, he just passed by this place, and he should be 100,000 miles away at this moment." Duke Tu shook his head and sat down slowly, holding a giant baby's head on his head.

　　"Young man, what's your name?" asked the land master.

　　Dian Wei felt strange, as a land, wouldn't he know who the residents were on his site?

　　but...

　　Judging by the situation, it seems that the land man really doesn't know him.

　　"My name is Dian Wei." Dian Wei said.

　　"Well, Young Dian, you appeared at the right time." Duke Tu nodded, "The little god was shaken by the roar of the bodhisattva, and the yin spirit collapsed, and he will soon perish."

　　Another sigh.

　　Dian Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, he dared to love that this land man was dying.

　　"I, Zhang Wende, was born a prodigy. He started to practice martial arts at the age of eight, formally entered the martial arts at the age of ten, became a 'teacher' at the age of forty-seven, and became a 'walker' at the age of ninety-five. In the end I died in the hands of the enemy."

　　"After my death, I received the kindness of my master, which not only kept the yin and spirit from dispersing, but also helped me to become a land master, sitting in a town, accepting more than 100,000 people to pray with incense, and enjoying boundless blessings."

　　"How could I have imagined that my luck would not last long. Master also died at the hands of the thieves, and both my body and spirit were destroyed. I lost my protection, my ancestral temples and temples were destroyed by the wicked, and I was driven out of the city. I wandered around, and finally came to This ruined temple lives on."

　　"I never imagined that a Bodhisattva would pass by this place, and with a roar, I would be seriously injured by the shock."

　　Speaking of this, Duke Tu looked at Dian Wei, "You must have also felt the fear of the Bodhisattva. Just the sound of his breathing caused you to bleed from your seven orifices."

　　Dian Wei pricked up his ears and listened to the Lord of the Land.

　　Although he heard a lot of content, he didn't ask much.

　　God knows if this dying land master will use any evil methods to save the dog's life, such as seizing the house.

　　"Dian Wei, the little god's life is about to end." Duke Tu sighed, "You and I are destined, the little god wants to give you a great fortune."

　　Dian Wei immediately became vigilant.

　　The development of this dialogue seems to be the standard plot of some bad dramas.

　　Do not make jokes.

　　You and I are not relatives so don't give away such slanderous things as Dafahua, don't come to me, I don't want to die so fast.

　　The land public opened his mouth and vomited out.

　　Whoa!

　　A cloud of mucus was spat out of the earth man's mouth.

　　The land man stretched out his hand and scratched twice in the mucus, revealing a square seal immediately.

　　"Dian Wei, can you see this thing?" Duke Tu asked.

　　Dian Wei nodded, "A square seal."

　　The land man nodded: "This thing is the god of the land, and the person who holds this seal is the land god."

　　After saying that, the land master handed over the seal, "Dian Wei, Xiao Shen wants you to take over the seal and become a land master."

　　Dian Wei heard the mystery and said in surprise: "God of the earth, you can be whatever you want? Anyone can do it?"

　　"Naturally not, you must hold the exclusive seal of the land god in order to become a party of land." Land God said.

　　Dian Wei understood.

　　The land god is a clergy, but this position only recognizes the seal and not the person, whoever holds the seal is the one.

　　"To become a land, there are only two paths.

　　First, to accept the canonization, that is how I became the land;

　　Second, inherit from the land god, I choose you as the heir. "

　　Duke Tu explained carefully, "Generally speaking, only the 'Yin God' can see the seal, so only the 'Yin God' is qualified to be the Earth God, but you seem to be born with different eyes, so you are also qualified."

　　Dian Wei didn't dare to accept it, and said cautiously: "Master Tudi, what kind of virtue can I have? Besides, I won't be rewarded without merit."

　　The Lord of the Earth said the famous saying: "Little God has something to ask for..."
