When I am free and in a quiet place, I will let go of my interest and sing a song before it is too late to return. I will sing a song about the vast lakes and seas.
On Lihua Mountain, earthen and stone steps wind their way down to the foot of the mountain.
The young man in green held a folding fan and admired the blooming pear blossoms. At last he looked back at the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, shook his head and sighed, then walked away with a flick of his sleeves.
——
Shunjiang County.
As soon as Zhang Ling stepped into the main urban area, a group of immortals and gods from the underworld came to greet him from the clouds.
Looking up, the leader was wearing a bright red robe and a pearl rain curtain crown on his head. He had a broad forehead, a square face, and a heroic look. "The new City God of Shunjiang County, along with the civil and military judges, the Yin God generals, and the patrolling gods, greet the Lord!"
The young man in green transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the clouds. He clasped his fists in return and said, "There's no need for such a fuss, my friend. I'm just passing through and will be leaving tonight."
"Your Majesty, you have eliminated a great threat to Shunjiang County. You must accept our respect!"
They exchanged names and greetings.
Only then did they learn that the new City God was originally an eighth-rank mountain god from a certain place. He was extremely talented and upright, so he was temporarily transferred to Shunjiang County as an exception to the rules and temporarily took over the position of City God.
During the conversation, the new City God and a group of underworld officials all showed admiration for Zhang Ling, and their admiration was beyond words.
A dignified seventh-rank City God can kill anyone he wants, he is truly a god!
"The previous City God was in cahoots with Li Tianshi and has now been slain by the Supreme Lord. It's our turn to deal with the aftermath!"
The new City God said frankly that he would give justice to Gu Erlang. Since ancient times, evil has never prevailed over good, and there is no such thing as evil being rewarded with good and good being punished with evil in the world.
Otherwise, if this continues, people's hearts will change and the atmosphere will deteriorate, and it will be difficult to resolve.
Zhang Ling nodded and said, "It should be so."
Afterwards, the young man in blue was invited into the City God's Office by the new City God for a talk. The remaining gods in the underworld dispersed and began to deal with the matter of "Gu Erlang".
That night.
The new City God personally appeared in the dream of the county governor and sternly demanded that Gu Erlang be given justice.
Soon after, he appeared in a dream to Gu Erlang, telling him that Li Tianshi was dead and the former City God had been beheaded by the divine authority. He asked him to return to the Gu Mansion openly tomorrow, avenge his previous humiliation, and resume his position as the head of the family.
That night.
Gu Erlang was sleeping soundly in the shed, drooling unconsciously. The world in his dream fascinated him, and good things happened one after another.
The cowherd dreamed that he became the son of the Gu family again. He took his servants to help the poor everywhere, continued to do good deeds, and spread charity. He arranged for more poor people to have a stable job in his family's foundation, improved the welfare of all levels, and everyone could get dividends at the end of the year. He led the villagers to get rich together, and everyone was smiling.
At the end, I dreamed of a god wearing a red robe, who claimed to be the new City God. He said that Li Tianshi was dead, the evil gods had been brought to justice, and that I should return home quickly the next morning to take over the family business.
So dazed, wandering in a sweet dream.
I don’t know how long I slept when I heard a noise and the door outside was knocked loudly.
Gu Erlang woke up from his dream and opened his eyes to find that it was already daybreak. There was a crowd outside the door, wave after wave, all calling out "Young Master!"
Young master?
Are you calling me?
Gu Erlang was a little surprised. He stood up, walked out of the shed, and opened the door. A crowd of people rushed in like a tide. The leader said in surprise, "Master, Gu Dalang and his accomplices have been arrested by the prefectural government!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Erlang was shocked and felt like he was dreaming.
dream?
etc!
Gu Erlang suddenly remembered the scene in his dream last night. He vaguely remembered what a fairy wearing a red robe and a rain curtain crown said to him.
It works!
They are all true!
Surrounded by the cheers of the crowd, Gu Erlang came to the front door of the Gu Mansion in a daze. At this moment, the door was opened, and a group of officers were escorting prisoners out of the house. The leader was Gu Dalang, followed by his housekeeper, accomplices, and so on.
Gu Dalang looked at Gu Erlang in disbelief. He still didn't understand how his power and status could vanish overnight!
The county magistrate, who had been kind and friendly to him, like a mentor and friend, suddenly turned against him.
It's puzzling, really puzzling.
"What are you looking at? You have committed a capital crime, so you should think about how many days you can live!" An officer shouted loudly and pushed Gu Dalang hard.
In this way, Gu Dalang was escorted away in disgrace in front of the crowd.
Gu Erlang watched the whole process, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as ten years of repression were released at this moment.
Several old elders of the Gu family came out with tears in their eyes. Seeing Gu Erlang's ragged and worn clothes, they couldn't help feeling sad. They knelt down with a thud and felt a mixture of emotions.
The cry was of joy and happiness. They were grateful that the legitimate bloodline of the Gu family had returned, the hope of the main Gu family had returned, and the Gu family's hundreds of years of foundation had not collapsed halfway and was still continuing.
"Erlang, you've suffered so much over the years!"
"Erlang, it's all because of your useless uncles that you've suffered so much!"
…
The crying became louder and louder, and a large number of the older generation of the Gu family came out. They surrounded Gu Erlang, and there was a lot of crying, but some were crying with joy and laughing secretly.
Gu Erlang couldn't help but resonate with this, tears streaming down his face. He knelt on the ground and said to the elders, "It was all because of my lack of ability that I took advantage of the opportunity and nearly destroyed the Gu family's centuries-old foundation."
All of a sudden, people were crying and holding their heads in their arms. The pedestrians gathered around were also quietly wiping away tears, moved to tears by the scene before them.
Soon, everyone was shouting Gu Erlang's name, and even the old man in his sixties or seventies who was selling pears on the street was smiling from ear to ear, his heart full of joy.
