Late at night!

Shangyang County gradually quieted down!

The guests who listened to the music in Goulan either went home drunk in twos and threes, or they were fascinated by the music, and talked about the art of singing with the artist at night by candlelight.

Ye Zhixiu was three parts drunk and three parts melancholy, he refused his friend's offer, and headed towards the courtyard where he lived.

"Where are you going, brother?"

When he was drunk, Ye Zhixiu heard the voice behind him, turned around, and saw a handsome young man.

"It's time to go home, young master, is there something wrong?"

"Going home, I'm afraid I'm going in the wrong direction. Xiongtai's house is not here."

Ye Zhixiu was taken aback, then came back to his senses, and said, "Yes, yes, my family is not here, not here."

"Seeing that Xiongtai is a little drunk, I don't know where his home is. Shall I see Xiongtai for a ride?"

"Then...then I will trouble you, my lord."

Lin Ye sent Ye Zhixiu towards the courtyard where he lived, and asked as he walked, "I was on the second floor before, and I saw that my brother heard the music and thought about it, and I couldn't help myself. I think he is a man of temperament."

"Just empathy..."

People talk a lot after drinking, and Ye Zhiyuan told Lin Ye the truth.

It turned out that Ye Zhiyuan was not from this county, but a scholar from another county.

Famous young, brilliant literary talent.

Ye Zhiyuan's youth can be extremely smooth, the number one child prodigy in the county, the magistrate of the county personally received and encouraged him, and his teachers and friends praised him.

However, perhaps a successful young man is doomed to have ill-fated fate. Ye Zhiyuan failed the imperial examination twice in a row, and he was hit hard immediately, and couldn't afford to get sick because of it.

After he recovered from his illness, he thought of the letter sent by the county magistrate who had left office before his illness, and kindly invited him to go there to be a teacher for his children. Thinking of the magistrate's care for him, he came to the appointment Shangyang County.

In six years, he opened a private school to teach the children of the Ding family and other students. This time, in the latest imperial examination, the son of the former Ding county magistrate, that is, his students got the honor.

Among them, he contributed a lot.

Not only imparting knowledge and answering questions, but also because he made the right bet.

Of the seven questions in the imperial examination, he got five right in a row.

"Thank you Mr. Lin, I'm home."

Ye Zhiyuan arrived at the door of the house, thanked Lin Ye, and then staggered into the courtyard. Lin Ye looked at Ye Zhiyuan's disappearing back, but his face was thoughtful.

Weird!

...

...

Miaoying Temple!

The next day, in the early morning, Lin Ye took the carriage to Miaoying Temple again.

But what surprised him was that today's Miaoying Temple didn't have many pilgrims, and the entire temple was deserted. Lin Ye got out of the carriage, and it wasn't Zhike monks guarding the door, but two monks.

"Senior Brother Daoxuan, are there no pilgrims today?"

Lin Ye is considered a lay disciple of Miaoying Temple, and according to his seniority, he is also a Daoist.

The dharma name was taken by Lin Ye himself.

Daoji.

Originally, lay disciples didn't use Dharma names, but Lin Ye found out that there was no Daoji in Miaoying Temple called Daoji, so how could it be possible, so he took such a Dharma name for himself.

"Junior Brother Daoji, is there a closed door order in our temple?" Daoxuan saw a smile on Lin Ye's face. For the temple's biggest God of Wealth, Junior Brother, the monks like them very much.

"A closed door order?"

"Well, all believers and pilgrims have been notified that the temple will not be open to the public for the past half month. There were some people a few days ago. After these few days of persuasion, after going back to publicize, the pilgrims knew it and stopped coming. "

"Why did you issue the order to close the door? Did the abbot issue it?"

Miaoying Temple can be said to be making money every day, but Master Yinguang is willing to close it because of his money-gathering temperament?

"The day before yesterday, the demon from Shuangmu Mountain came."

Daoxuan whispered something in a low voice, and Lin Ye's heart skipped a beat. Did the tiger from Shuangmu Mountain react so quickly?

"The tiger of Shuangmu Mountain has already declared a war, and he will kill him in the next few days."

"Well, I think the abbot is thinking about how to deal with it at the moment, so I won't bother him, I'll go first."

Lin Ye turned around and left.

What a joke, judging from the attitude of Master Yinguang and the others before, this tiger's strength is absolutely extraordinary, he doesn't want to be affected, and he should wait until the matter at Miaoying Temple is resolved before coming here to ask doubts in his heart.

It's just that Lin Ye just turned around and before he took a step, his eyes narrowed, and two groups of people appeared at the intersection in front of him.

The team on the left, such as an official on patrol, has soldiers clearing the way, but the shout is: "The city god is on patrol, all ghosts retreat!"

In the team on the right, a few wild wolves lead the way, followed by many beasts full of monsters.

The two teams met at the intersection, and neither of them moved forward first.

"Amitabha!"

Behind him, Master Yinguang's voice came. Lin Ye turned around and saw Master Yinguang leading many monks from Miaoying Temple towards the door. Seeing this, he hurried to one side and followed the monks at the end. , so that their own sense of existence is minimized.

"City God and Tiger came to my Miaoying Temple at the same time, it really made the temple flourish."

At the intersection of entrances, hearty laughter responded.

"I am also very interested in coming to sit and sit today, I don't want to run into a tiger."

"It happened, I'm afraid it didn't happen, the City God has a lot of things to do every day, so why do you still have the time to come to Miaoying Temple?"

In the monster team, there was also a thick voice, and then two sedan chairs were seen falling down, and two men walked out of the sedan chairs, one of them was wearing an official uniform, the other was wearing a yellow robe, and there was a gap between the eyebrows. Has the word king.

City God and Tiger.

Lin Ye looked at it very seriously. The tiger and the city god are characters that only exist in folk legends in modern times.

From the perspective of momentum, the tiger seems to be even better. Of course, it may also be because the City God was an official before his death. Officials are relatively low-key, and their emotions are not shown.

But what Lin Ye was curious about was who of the two was stronger.

Thinking of this, he leaned closer to the front row of the monk team, walked to Dao Hai, poked Dao Hai with his arm, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Dao Hai, who is the strongest between the city god and the tiger?"

"Both the city god and the tiger are conferred by the court, but the city god is only one generation, and the tiger can be passed down from generation to generation. As for who is the best, it's hard to say."

Dao Hai explained to Lin Ye, and Lin Ye understood.

In order to frighten the ghosts, the imperial court conferred the title of City God, and in order to prevent cholera, the imperial court also conferred the title of the world's tiger. The tiger of Shuangmu Mountain is the sixteenth generation tiger.

One is in charge of ghosts and the other is in charge of demons. From the perspective of power, it is hard to tell who is more powerful. As for strength, it depends on each person's cultivation.

"Then what about the City God of Shangyang County and the tiger of Shuangmu Mountain?" Lin Ye asked again.

Daohai: "This City God was conferred by the new dynasty not long ago."

Although Dao Hai didn't give the answer clearly, Lin Ye understood that a newly appointed City God must not be compared with a tiger.

"Then why did these two come here at the same time by such a coincidence?"

"The incident between Miaoying Temple and the tiger has been spread in the past few days, and in Shangyang County, the incense at the Town God's Temple is not half as strong as our temple, so it must be at this time on purpose."

Lin Ye looked at Dao Hai with a strange look. This Dao Hai didn't seem like a monk who knew nothing but brute force. He could see all of this, so how could he kill the tiger so stupidly? What about future generations?

"After getting advice from my junior brother that day, I went to the bookstore in the city and bought a few books on power struggles to read. Only then did I wake up, and I was able to see the current situation."

Lin Ye gave a thumbs up, "Scholar will treat each other with admiration for three days, senior brother is too good."

Dao Hai patted his head in embarrassment, "It's mainly because the younger brother woke me up by drinking a bit."

"No, no, brother is smart, I just briefly mentioned it."

Lin Ye and Dao Hai were humble to each other, and Abbot Yinguang smiled and invited the City God and the Tiger into the temple as guests.

"To enter the temple, we have to solve the problem first."

The tiger coldly glanced at the many monks in Miaoying Temple: "Who killed my seventy-third grandson, stand up for yourself."
