Chapter 249 Gongming Shen

"Does Fellow Daoist Ran know what this newly built village is called?"

The village chief of Heishan Village did not wait for Old Man Ran to finish his words and took the initiative to say, "This new village is called Gongming Village."

Gongming Village?
Tian Lin, who had been watching coldly, took a sip of tea and said, "If I remember correctly, the old patriarch has a nickname, Gongming, right?"

Muramasa nodded and said, "Yes, the old patriarch is known as Gongming Zhenren. This Gongming Village was naturally built for the old patriarch."

At this moment, someone knocked on the door.

After Muramasa had someone open the door, the person who came in was a disciple from the Heishan Village.

The young man handed over the letter in his hand and said, "This is a letter from Deacon Wu to Senior Ran. Deacon Wu said he has something to do and can't come."

Old Man Ran took the letter immediately, tore open the envelope and started reading the letter.

After reading the letter, he handed it to Muramasa of Heishan Village.

Muramasa took the letter and glanced at it, then said, "Deacon Wu asked me to take Fellow Daoist Ran to the newly built Gongming Village. This is a piece of cake. I will naturally take Fellow Daoist Ran to Gongming Village tomorrow morning."

After drinking, the few of them said goodbye and left. Old Man Ran naturally looked worried.

The next morning, a group of people arrived at the so-called Gongming Village.

Although Old Man Ran arrived in time, Gongming Village had already been built.

It is such a large village with hundreds of houses.

There are less than a hundred households in Huilong Village, and so many houses are obviously more than enough to accommodate the people of Huilong Village.

The villagers of Huilong Village, who were unaware of the situation, were overjoyed. Looking at the completed houses and the large and small corpse-keeping wells in the village that had already shown signs of construction, a group of people excitedly selected houses and started settling down.

But Tian Lin, Old Man Ran and Muramasa from Heishan Village went to the Gongming Temple in the west.

I saw that the huge temple was empty inside and outside.

There is an altar in the main hall, but there is a new incense burner on the altar, and there are no stone statues or shrines on the altar.

Old Man Ran looked at Muramasa in confusion. Muramasa of Heishan Village smiled and said, "Don't worry, fellow Taoist. The old patriarch's body will be brought back soon."

The corners of Old Man Ran's mouth twitched, and he asked, "Didn't the old patriarch's body run away?"

The village chief of Heishan Village smiled and said, "Yes, although the old chief's body ran away, he was reluctant to leave his homeland and later ran back.

Now all his subordinates have run away like zombies, and he himself has become a wild zombie because of his local occupation, making it difficult for him to join the Xiangxi Sect again.

It happened that there were no gods in the newly built Gongming Village, so the body of the old patriarch was transported back and worshipped by Daoyou Ran and the villagers.

This move will not only avoid humiliating the old patriarch's corpse, but also allow the old patriarch's corpse to bless Gongming Village."

His so-called killing two birds with one stone was not a good thing in the eyes of old man Ran.

At this moment, there was a sound of gongs and drums outside. When Tian Lin and Old Man Ran walked out of the temple together, the villagers of Huilong Village had already been attracted to the village entrance by the drum sounds.

In the distance, I saw a group of people in mourning clothes carrying a sealed red sedan chair approaching.

Old Man Ran cried, "Is this the old patriarch's body?"

Tian Lin glanced at Old Man Ran, sighed and said, "The Wu family's own old patriarch is unwilling to worship himself, which shows that this 'god' is probably not a real god."

Tian Lin saw that Old Man Ran was too unlucky and did not ridicule him.

You know, when Old Man Ran was in Yujia Village, he refuted Tian Lin's argument about "righteous gods" and "evil gods". Now Old Man Ran has obviously encountered an "evil god", which is probably stronger than the land god of Huilong Village, but how can the villagers of Huilong Village not sacrifice their flesh to worship such an evil god?
“Please invite the gods into the temple!”

The sedan chair had already arrived at the temple gate, with a middle-aged man leading the way.

The middle-aged man glanced at Old Man Ran and said, "Ran Er, quickly call all the villagers in your village to come and worship the gods."

Old Man Ran said quickly: "Brother-in-law, I'll go call someone right away."

When Old Man Ran went to call for help, the middle-aged man bowed to Tian Lin and said:
"You must be a disciple of the Taoist sect, right? I don't have the Falling Yin Pill you want to buy, but I have already told my clan members about this when I came here.

Because the new clan leader has not yet been elected, the elders need to hold a meeting before the elixirs in the storehouse can be opened. Therefore, Fellow Daoist Tian, please wait for two days. "

Tian Lin said: "Fellow Daoist Wu, you are too polite. I am too presumptuous to come here without an invitation. When I can buy the elixir is entirely up to the Wu family."

The middle-aged man said no more, but turned to look at the group of villagers gathered outside the temple.

The Gongming Temple was built on a huge scale, just like the ancestral temple.

It’s a pity that the people standing in this ancestral temple are not the descendants of Wu Gongming.

But looking at Wu Gongming's big red sedan chair, the evil-suppressing talismans made of animal skins stuck on it all showed that the sedan chair contained an "evil ghost".

All of this shows that the Wu family has already regarded their old patriarch as an evil ghost. The reason why they didn't burn him directly is just because they are afraid of losing filial piety and being ridiculed by outsiders.

"Ran Er, you are now the village chief of Gongming Village. From now on, you need to lead the villagers to burn incense to Gongming God every day. And this Gongming Temple must also be guarded by Wu Temple Priest at all times."

After his brother-in-law finished speaking, he made way for him.

An old man stood out from the crowd of people in mourning clothes.

The old man's eyes rolled, and people realized that he was not a mummy.

He just bowed to Old Man Ran and said, "Ran Cunzheng, you and I should help each other in the future."

Old man Ran lowered his body a bit. He knew that as the village chief, he had little say in front of the temple priest.

In other words, although he is the head of the village of Gongming Village, the real head of the family is still the temple priest.

"Wu Miaozhu, Gongming God has been delivered. Wu will leave first."

The middle-aged man bowed, and then without greeting Old Man Ran, his brother-in-law, he left with a group of people.

After Old Man Ran's brother-in-law and his men left, the courtyard of the small temple became brighter.

At this time, the villagers of Huilong Village looked at the old man Ran standing in front of them helplessly, and then looked at Wu Miaozhu who was standing with his hands behind his back in front of the main hall, and no one spoke.

But soon, the crowd was attracted by the banging sedan chair on the altar.

The villagers of Huilong Village didn't know who was inside, but Muramasaha of Heishan Village, Old Man Ran and Tian Lin knew that it contained a top-grade zombie.

Only a Nascent Soul Realm expert could subdue such a top-grade zombie.

"Okay, what are you standing there for? Gongming Shen is hungry, why don't you donate blood?"

Wu Miaozhu was obviously used to the commotion in the sedan chair and said something.

Old Man Ran was stunned and asked, "What blood do you want to donate?"

"Of course it's human blood. From now on, you and your descendants will all donate blood to Gongming Shen. If not, what use would you have?"
