    Chapter 58 Peacock God

    Following Yao Gou, they walked slowly to the back mountain.

    A stone path winds its way up the mountain, submerged in a sea of ​​trees.

    At first glance, the stone road has been taken care of for many years, and there is no moss at all. This mountain is not high, and the trees are far from the savage growth of Wanming Mountain. Many of them are fruit trees. Some of the fruit had been knocked off by the rain and fell to the ground with rotten leaves.

    When going up the mountain, Yao Gou had a big belly and was so tired that he was out of breath, and his back soon became soaked.

    He wiped his sweat and said, "Oh, I'm here for the second time today. I haven't exercised that much in a long time. They have to pay me extra."

    Lu Yingjiu laughed: "It's always good to exercise. Didn't you always climb trees before?"

    The previous Yao Gou was a nimble little fat man.

    Climbing over walls, climbing fruit trees, catching fish by the river... remember that at that time, Yao Gou was riding a small bicycle, and he could ride back and forth on the side of the road three or four times.

    Lu Yingjiu wasn't so active. When Yao Gou was running wildly on his bicycle, he sat on the wall and ate wild fruits with his head supported. After a while, Yao Gou stopped, and he said slowly, "Big Dog" Ah, did you know that you rode all the way with a hanged man on your back.

    Yao Gou was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked Lu Yingjiu to help exorcise the ghosts.

    Unexpectedly, Yao Gou's physical fitness was worse than before, probably because his life was too moist.

    "You don't know," Yao Gou sighed and rubbed his stomach, "I always fantasize that if I drive out a ghost one day and accidentally fall into a ravine, it will all depend on this body of fat. I had stockpiled food during the war. In case of bad luck and crashing into the lair of some tigress, I will also do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and this body is enough for their family to be full of snacks.”

    Lu Yingjiu laughed.

    Yao Gou praised his fat again, then turned his head and asked, "By the way, how is your spiritual office?"

    "The situation is more complicated." Lu Yingjiu said, "It is actually closer to a bar than an office."

    He told Yao Gou about the Lu Yingjiu bar, and said that the waiter was rescued from the mountains by them, and the bartender was the one who took the burden and did not act as a ghost exorcist. made up.

    "Oh," Yao Gou looked at Jingxian again, "then how do I remember, you said that Master Jing was an intern?"

    Lu Yingjiu forgot about this and replied, "Yes, he is an intern."

    Yao Gou stopped talking.

    After wiping off his sweat twice, he quietly approached and asked, "How much is the internship salary in your firm?"

    Lu Yingjiu thought about it again.

    What was the monthly salary he told Jingxian at that time? Five thousand? Six thousand?

    He seems to have never really given it. He is simply a black-hearted boss who makes Jingxian do white work every day.

    Lu Yingjiu looked at Jingxian.

    Jing Xian immediately understood what he meant and replied to Yao Gou, "Six thousand per month, after the regularization is 12 thousand, there is a commission for commissioning."

    Lu Yingjiu thought to himself, he remembered it very clearly.

    Yao Gou's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "My big dog has been in the world for so many years, and I have seen countless people. At first glance, I feel that the future of your firm is immeasurable! So is your firm still recruiting people?"

    "I'm considering it." Lu Yingjiu answered truthfully.

    Yao Gou patted his chest and said, "Then if you want to recruit people, you must come to me. I can't do anything else. With a tongue that is not rotten, I guarantee you will get rich. It's really not good, it's not a loss to let me out as a mascot, isn't it... Alas, we're here!"

    Lu Yingjiu looked forward, and sure enough, in the greenery, he saw a few roofs.

    Before he got close, he felt the power of the talisman.

    The talisman shrouded this large area, with a strong momentum, so that all kinds of evil spirits, evil spirits and evil spirits did not dare to approach.

    No matter who arranged it, the level must be very high.

    Walking in again, four temples appeared in front of the three of them.

    Among them, the most central temple is the largest and most gorgeous, and its height is two or three times that of the other temples, while the other three temples surround it and surround it, like the stars and the moon.

    The roof is made of tiles of different colors, which are finely laid.

    In the center of the temple, the tiles are glazed, reflecting the light in the sun, almost crystal clear. At both ends of the roof ridge are bronze birds - those are two peacocks, one is about to fly, the other is looking back at the mountain, and the slender tail feathers are all down and lifelike.

    Lu Yingjiu knew at a glance that this must be the handwriting of the Chu family.

    This is a temple dedicated to the peacock god.

    And it is not old, it is estimated that it has not been repaired for many years.

    In the other three temples, the colors of the tiles are different, the black tiles are like the scales of giant snakes, the red tiles seem to be burning, and the yellow tiles are dazzling. On the eaves are also peacocks ready to fly.

    "It's here," Yao Gou said, panting slightly, "Go back a little bit and you'll see the Old Xitang."

    Lu Yingjiu looked at the building in front of him and asked, "Why is there a temple of the Peacock God here?"

    "Damn, it's not the Chu family who did it." Yao Gou said, "I asked around, and everyone said that the ghost exorcist who had come before asked them to repair it. After repairing, the feng shui in the village really did. It's getting better, look at how rich their village is now, everyone drives a BMW and Mercedes-Benz. I want to build a temple like this in my house."

    Lu Yingjiu remembered that Boss Tan had also told him that there was a ghost exorcist surnamed Chu who had come to the village before.

    Come to think of it, he is the one who built the temple.

    Yao Gou urged again, "Let's go to the wedding hall quickly. On this hot day, I'll get heatstroke after standing for a while. You two may not be able to lift me."

    But Lu Yingjiu said, "I want to go into the temple and have a look."

    Yao Gou was stunned: "It's okay, it's okay. It's cool in the temple, I just took a break."

    The three went up step by step along the long stairs in front of the main temple.

    The gate is tightly closed, it is five or six meters high, and it is engraved with a relief sculpture of a peacock spreading its wings.

    The door was not locked, Lu Yingjiu gently pushed it open, and the heavy door was pushed open by him as if it had no weight, and a cool, fragrant air gushed out from behind the door.

    There is a talisman paper on the door. After being pushed open, a bright lamp lights up in front of them, reflecting the many bronze statues of peacocks neatly placed around them. There are incense burners placed at the four corners, and the light incense comes from them.

    In the middle of the temple is a huge peacock statue.

    The eyes are the sparkling broken diamonds and the metal reflecting the fire, and the impact is extremely strong.

    The peacock's eyes are inlaid with golden gems, and the eyes are bright. The huge tail feathers are composed of gold and emerald green. Each feather is meticulously carved with lines and hollows, which are extremely fine.

    At first glance, it seems that the peacock god really came to the world and showed his wings to the fullest.

    There is also an altar under the peacock god, and some fruits and bouquets are placed on it.

    It should have been put up by the villagers.

    Lu Yingjiu thought, no wonder the Peacock God would dream of this.

    If someone worships it for a long time, it is too normal to have such a dream.

    The reason why he wanted to come in is to see if the temple was defiled, so that the dream was broken.

    As a result, he watched around, but he found no abnormalities, nor did he notice yin.

    Everything is normal.

    Lu Yingjiu asked with a low voice: "Can you notice anything wrong here?"

    Shaking his head: "No."

    Lu Yingjiu asked again, "Do you know the peacock god in the ghost world?"

    I still answered: "Don't know."

    There are too many strange ghosts on the eighteen floors of the ghost world. It is really impossible to see each other and know it.

    But Lu Yingjiu was relieved.

    Just now, he was really afraid of his leisurely saying "Knowing, I also fed it to eat skulls."

    Yao Gou had already touched the golden pillar next to him, and said with emotion: "Look at it, I'll say this Lintian Village is very rich. That was more than ten years ago! Such a big temple, once repaired It's just four. And they don't know how to exorcise ghosts at all, and they don't even know whose priest this is, so they worship Tiantian, and it actually works."

    Lu Yingjiu looked around and said, "Let's go to the other three temples to see."

    The three went to other temples to walk around.

    Although these three temples were almost half smaller, they were still decorated and there were many tributes.

    On their murals, the peacock and the ghost -driven master in their murals — the exorcist should be the ancestors of the Chu family. Peacocks either fly around them or inhabit their shoulders.

    To the third temple.

    The murals inside are different from other styles, like depicting a small story.

    At the beginning, it was a gray wasteland. A peacock wet by rain was curled up on the ground tiredly, and blood stains spread around it.

    Gong Zhi Lu Yingjiu: "Is this the legend of the exorcism family?"

    Lu Yingjiu glanced and said, "Yes, it is the story of the Chu family and the peacock god."

    He pointed to the first picture: "The Chu family is actually the first family that made a contract with ghosts and gods. Hundreds of years ago, there was a ghost exorcist named Chu Qianju in the Chu family who was wandering in the wild when he encountered a dying peacock. ."

    "The peacock's body is full of yin, and it looks like a ghost. But Chu Qianju couldn't bear it, so he saved it to his home for healing."

    The next picture is of a peacock perched on Chu Qianju's shoulder, as if speaking something in his ear.

    Lu Yingjiu went on to explain: "After the injury was healed, the peacock spit out people saying that he wanted to repay Chu Qianju. So they formed a contract - the power of ghosts and gods in the world will be weakened, and the priests dare not take it easy. Into the world. But since then, they have lent their power to humans to benefit from it, and they have gained more power from the contract."

    "However, the runes that concluded the contract had very big problems. At that time, the exorcist of ghosts was immature. When asked, the body burden of the exorcist was very heavy."

    "Chu Qianju was attacked by the gods and passed away very early. Moreover, it is said that the curse that followed made him unable to go to the next life forever, and could only live an equally short life in reincarnations."

    "Of course that curse is just a legend. No one can confirm it. I also tend to be fictional."

    "In short, with the blessing of the Peacock God, the Chu family became the earliest rising family, and slowly developed its own set of ghosts, until today."

    Jingxian listened intently, then continued to look up, watching countless brightly colored murals spread on the walls, telling countless stories from the past.

    The other murals are all about the Chu family and the Peacock God.

    Lu Yingjiu probably knew all about it, so he didn't take a closer look.

    It's just that he rarely sees Jingxian being very interested in one thing. Anyway, if he is not in a hurry, he will accompany him to watch it slowly.

    Jing Xian stretched out his hand and pointed to another mural: "What is this?"

    Lu Yingjiu replied, "This is the ancestors of the Chu family who are worshipping the Tao of Heaven and the Peacock God."

    Jingxian asked again, "Then these are their talisman papers?"

    Lu Yingjiu: "Yes, many runes were invented by the Chu family."

    "What is this painting about, Earthquake?"

    "Well, there was an earthquake when they were worshipping, so they took the earthquake as the way of heaven to anger them and punished them..."

    Jingxian nodded and walked forward again, suddenly standing still.

    After a few seconds, he asked, "What is this?"

    Lu Yingjiu leaned over: "Oh, this is..."

    He also stopped.

    This time on the mural, a handsome man appeared.

    The man's forehead has a few green peacock feathers, and his eyes are jewel-like green.

    He sat lazily, wearing a long golden coat with a wide open neckline, shining pendants on his wrists and necks, and surrounded by splendid feathers, his whole body was full of casual and gorgeous feeling. Like an old prince or a nobleman, or a beautiful peacock.

    Lu Yingjiu paused for a few seconds.

    He tried to retrieve this information from his memory, and after a long time, he said, "This... This seems to be the appearance of the Peacock God. It can be transformed into a human appearance."

    He added: "I rarely hear it from the Chu family. But since it was painted in the temple, it should be real."

    Jing Xian pointed to the next picture: "What about this?"

    Lu Yingjiu didn't look away for a while, and glanced at the Peacock God a few more times, thinking that he was not bad, much better than other vicious priests.

    Then he reacted and went to see the next one.

    The next mural also uses strong colors and delicate lines.

    The two men kissed on top of each other.

    Lu Yingjiu: ? ? ?

    His first reaction was that under Jing Xian's tireless brainwashing, he was finally infected. His mind was full of yellow thoughts, and he could see the solemn murals wrong.

    But when he took a closer look, the two of them were still close and inseparable.

    The artist obviously had a deep understanding of the people in the kiss, and painted the expressions on their faces vividly, with each other's hands still in a bad place.

    Lu Yingjiu was stunned on the spot.

    The Chu family...the Chu family still have a hobby of painting such plots on murals? !

    Wouldn't it be some bear kid who scribbled on it!

    Jingxian was very interested in this mural, looked at it for a while, and said, "Why do I think these two people are like Chu Qianju and the Peacock God."

    Lu Yingjiu: "Ah?" His first reaction was to deny, after all, it was too outrageous, "Isn't it possible... I've never heard the Chu family say it. Besides, how could the two of them get mixed up together? go?"

    Jingxian said: "Think about it, isn't this kind of plot often seen in novels, where a person promises a life-saving benefactor. Chu Qianju saved the Peacock God, isn't it normal for the Peacock God to promise each other?"

    Lu Yingjiu said, "I don't think it's normal..."

    He held his forehead, and then looked at the mural, which was placed in the middle of the entire wall, quite sacred.

    He hadn't come out of the shock of "a serious mural suddenly turned into a same-sex love story", when he heard Jing Xian expect to say: "I will also paint our love story in my temple in the future, for sure very touching."

    Lu Yingjiu: ? ? ?

    Lu Yingjiu said, "No, you must never put the stickman on it again."

    He imagined that other people's murals were full of compelling styles, and when Jing Xian arrived, the four walls were full of stickman love stories, which was terrifying.

    Anyway, Jing Xian liked the mural so much, he just stared at it, not knowing what was planned in his mind.

    Lu Yingjiu quickly pulled him away and said, "Don't look at it, don't look at it, why do you like this kind of thing all day long? If you want me to tell me, this must be drawn by some arrogant child, who drew them both... What is it called, Doujintu? Otherwise, the artisan who drew the picture could not distinguish the official history of the unofficial history, and put the rumors of the unofficial history on it."

    Jing Xian said, "It must be true."

    "It's fake, it's fake." Lu Yingjiu said, "It's fake."

    After finally pulling Jing Xian away, the more Lu Yingjiu thought about it, the more wrong it became, and the more he thought about it, the more outrageous the murals seemed.

    He really doesn't believe in evil, so he must ask clearly to find out if there is any misunderstanding.

    The dream of the Peacock God just happened to be broken here...

    If it is because of this painting, it is possible.

    After all, a straight man, a straight ghost, and a straight priest should theoretically not dream of being violent with another man-for Peacock, this must be a nightmare.

    So he turned around and photographed the mural, sent it to Chu Banyang, and asked him: [Is this the real thing? Is this Chu Qianju and your family's peacock god? 】

    [Your temple shouldn't be scribbled and scribbled? 】

    Chu Banyang reacted quickly.

    His dialog box shows [Entering...]

    【Entering...】

    【Entering...】

    Lu Yingjiu waited for a long time, and Chu Banyang was still typing, so he sent a [? 】past.

    This time, Chu Banyang finally replied.

    Only two words.

    【real】

    At the end, he added: [Actually, it's not difficult to accept, I'm a cousin, and how many other relatives seem to have written some of their novels...]

    [Anyway, the broken dream is definitely not because of this]

    [For the Peacock God, this should be a beautiful dream...]

    Lu Yingjiu: "..."

    Lu Yingjiu: "..."

    The divine water of the Chu family, drink it and become a monk immediately.

    The ancestors of the Chu family are all lying in the family's barrel urns.

    The ghosts and gods of the Chu family not only got involved with the contractor, but also had murals and strange fanfiction!

    What is going on with this family?!

    The author has something to say: Jing Xian: Heartbeat!I'll be here in the temple in the future too!
