Chapter 37 Dragon Falls in the Shoal
Shang Xingjian didn't say anything, so Cheng Mai stopped asking for trouble on this issue.
Cheng Mai still had something to ask about Kang Zhenglian.
"Is there really no way for Kang Zhuangyuan to be reincarnated?" If according to what Shangxing Jian said, Kang Zhuangyuan was a good official for the country and the people in his previous two lives, and he should be rewarded well.
"Wild dogs carry corpses. If the bones are incomplete, they cannot be reincarnated. This is the rule." Shang Xingjian reminded her.
Just like those soldiers who died without any bones on the battlefield are the same.
It's just that Kang Zhenglian's head was taken away by himself in the form of a wild dog. As for where it was taken, no one knows.
"He doesn't want to be reincarnated."
Cheng Mai looked at Shang Xingjian, "Why?"
"He didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of him."
"Probably this is a scholar's desperate need to save face." Shang Xingjian replied calmly.
The corner of Cheng Mai's mouth twitched, saying that the boss really didn't have any face.
The two of them did not go back to the hotel, but went to Xuantian Temple.
Because of the news, there were very few pilgrims in Xuantian Temple today, and even the choking smell of incense inside was reduced.
The young Taoist priests were all dejected and had long lost their previous enthusiasm.
Cheng Mai went in to burn incense, and a lazy little Taoist priest handed her a stick of incense without even raising his eyelids, as if he was too sleepy.
Yesterday, I was held in a meeting all night by the viewer. How could I not feel sleepy?
Moreover, they found this statue temporarily. The statue of Lord Xuanhe has long been out of use. The statue now is that of the Taoist Master of Supreme Merit, and the dust on it has not been wiped clean.
Cheng Mai raised his head and looked at the Taoist Master of Supreme Merit. The statue's eyes were full of energy, but Cheng Mai showed no fear. After the incense burned, before Cheng Mai could make a wish, the incense went out, leaving a trail of green smoke.
Cheng Mai: "..."
The little Taoist priest blinked his eyes, seemed a little angry, and cursed in a low voice, "The logistics department is purchasing incense of such poor quality again."
Cheng Mai: "...could it be an unlucky reminder?"
The little Taoist priest took the incense back without saying a word and threw it into the trash can on the side. Cheng Mai glanced at it and saw that it was good. There was a lot of unburned incense inside.
"Don't worry, donor, it's just that the incense is not good. I'll give you another one." The little Taoist cursed and picked up the incense, and finally found one that was dry to the touch and handed it to Cheng Mai, "You can use this one. .”
Cheng Mai looked at the little Taoist priest silently, he was in a good state of mind.
Shang Jian leaned in front of the incense altar and picked up an apple. After confirming that it was washed, she took a bite and frowned slightly. This apple was not very tasty.
Cheng Mai turned to look at the business brief, "Boss, where are the manners?"
Shang Xingjian was eating an apple and looked up at the statue, "You're already a god, what's wrong with eating his apple?"
The little Taoist priest nodded, "The donor is right. It's too stingy not to let you eat an apple. Our Taoist temple doesn't have such stingy gods."
Cheng Mai confirmed that this little Taoist priest was a talent.
Shang Xingjian took a few bites and confirmed that it was not delicious. Finally, she threw it directly into the trash can and picked one up again, "Don't you want it to be incense?"
Cheng Mai took the incense from the little Taoist priest, but did not light it this time.
The little Taoist priest became angry this time, picked up his robe and went out angrily.
It looked like he was going to find someone to settle the score with.
This Taoist temple is getting weirder and weirder.
When the incense couldn't be lit, Cheng Mai looked at Shang Xingjian, "What do you mean?" Shang Xingjian finished the apple in his hand, threw the core aside, and then began to look for something around the statue, "Maybe I don't want to be worshiped by you. ”
Cheng Mai put the incense on the table and asked, but the merchant simply said nothing more.
"What are you looking for?" Cheng Mai saw him walking around, seemingly looking for something.
Shang Xingjian quickly pulled out a chess piece from under the statue and said, "That's it."
Cheng Mai walked over and looked at the yellow flag in his hand. There were very complicated talismans drawn on it with red cinnabar, like some kind of spell.
"Donor, put it down, put it down quickly, that's our demon-suppressing flag." The little Taoist priest who had just gone out to find someone to settle accounts ran back and shouted anxiously when he saw the flag in Shang Xingjian's hand.
"This? Demon-suppressing flag?" Shang Xingjian waved the flag in his hand, "The Taoist heart is strong, but the Taoist practice is still shallow."
Shang Xingjian said and threw the flag in his hand to the little Taoist priest, "Take it to your temple master and tell him that someone is waiting for him at the Xuanhe Shenjun Palace."
The little Taoist priest hurriedly caught the flag, "Our temple master is in retreat and has not seen visitors recently."
Shang Jian stood with his hands behind his hands and looked up at the new statue. He saw that the new statue suddenly shivered and showed signs of cracking.
Little Taoist priest: "!!!" Mom, why is it broken again?
"Just tell him that if he doesn't come, this..." Shang Xingjian turned around and looked at the flag in his hand, "I'm going to activate the demon-suppressing flag."
After Shang Xingjian turned around, the statue returned to calm.
The little Taoist priest blinked his eyes, looked at the statue and then at the business slip, and asked in a low voice, "Are you the business owner of City A?"
He heard rumors that a business owner in City A came to Fengcheng recently.
No one knows the origin of this boss Shang, but everyone knows that there is no Taoist temple in City A because of this boss Shang.
"He is a wise man, go ahead." Shang Xingjian praised the little Taoist priest in one sentence. When the little Taoist priest turned around and ran out, Shang Xingjian suddenly said, "The dragon fell into the shallows."
The little Taoist priest didn't hear this, but Cheng Mai did.
"Do you know this little Taoist priest?"
"It's not really an acquaintance. I had a chance encounter with his ancestor." Shang Xingjian touched another apple and ate it while waiting for someone.
You are always someone's ancestor, Cheng Mai thought, this is probably the benefit of living a long life.
"Boss, how long have you lived?" Cheng Mai asked curiously.
"I can't remember clearly. I have been here since the beginning of the world. Tens of thousands of years? Hundreds of millions of years? Who knows." Shang Xingjian replied boredly. It was probably because he had lived for too long and he had already forgotten himself. The origin of.
Cheng Mai gave the boss a thumbs up. Everyone else was a thousand-year-old monster, and the boss was an ancient psychopath.
Sure enough, people who have lived for a long time have abnormal brains.
"Scold me again?" Merchant Jian glanced at her coolly, as if he had a clear insight into the little movements in her heart.
Cheng Mai smiled slightly and didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either.
"You want to have a showdown with that Guanzhu so soon?"
"The showdown doesn't count. After all, the old man still has some brains and didn't take the initiative to trouble you." Shang Xingjian threw away the apple and chose a pear to continue eating, "But even if he doesn't do anything, it doesn't stop scaring him. Let’s see if he will contact the person behind him.”
When Cheng Mai heard this, he seemed to have thought of something.
"The tiger's roar last night wasn't from the mountains?" Although it was a question, Cheng Mai could probably guess what happened last night.
