Fellow Taoists, please respect yourself.

Chapter 27 Imperial Decree
As Jiang Lin's voice fell, the gate of the City God Temple in front of him burst open.

However, what was revealed was not the scene inside the City God Temple, but a pitch-black portal.

It seemed as if there was another world hidden inside that portal.

No, it’s not as if, it’s that there is another world.

Jiang Lin looked up and saw a group of ghosts and scribes walking out of the door.

When these ghosts and gods saw Jiang Lin, they all bowed and saluted.

"I am the judge of the Yin-Yang Division under the command of the City God of Hangzhou. I am honored to meet you, Master!"

The Yin-Yang Department is the first of the Twelve Departments of the City God. In short, it is the City God's secretariat, and the boss of it is naturally the City God's deputy.

It can be said that he is an existence below all gods and above all ghosts.

Such a ghost or god is extremely important, at least in Hangzhou.

But facing the personal welcome from the City God's deputy, Jiang Lin remained unmoved.

Jiang Lin looked at the judge in front of him with an indifferent expression, and raised his hand to touch the Fengdu Jiuquan Order at his waist.

"Ah……"

Jiang Lin sneered and turned away without hesitation.

I came here as a Fengdu wizard and asked the local city god to come and welcome me, but it was his deputy who came?
The judge was also dumbfounded when he saw it. He knew that mages were difficult to serve, but he had never seen such a scene.

Not agreeing on anything. No, just turning around and leaving without saying a word?

When the judge thought of the consequences of offending the mage, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

My good City God, how can you not distinguish the important from the unimportant? No matter how chaotic our family is, can we still neglect the magician?
The judge groaned in his heart, but did not dare to stop him. God knows if he would be considered as stopping the mage if he spoke now.

If it counts, then according to the black law, disrespecting magicians by yin and yang ghosts and gods is a serious crime!
"tread……"

The sound of clanging footsteps suddenly rang out, and a burly man in a dark official uniform appeared before the judge's eyes.

Seeing this, the judge felt relieved.

My City God, you finally come out!

"Mage Rongzhen!"

As soon as the City God of Hangzhou appeared, he bowed to Jiang Lin's back and said, "I, Luo Sanchi, the City God of Hangzhou, am not being disrespectful to you, but there are reasons for my actions. I beg you to show mercy and allow me to argue my case."

Hearing this, Jiang Lin, who was not far away, stopped but did not look back.

Seeing this, Luo Sanchi breathed a sigh of relief, rushed forward, came behind Jiang Lin, and said respectfully: "Master, it's not that I'm disrespectful, it's just... I have a mess here..."

Jiang Lin turned around, looked at Luo Sanchi indifferently, and said calmly: "Speak."

"Yes."

Luo Sanchi stepped aside to guide him, saying, "Please come into the deserted residence and serve tea, Master."

Jiang Lin glanced at him, ignored the ghost judges who were greeting him with smiles, and walked straight into the City God Temple.

To be precise, it is the small world inside the City God Temple.

As a dignified god on earth, there is naturally a small world within the god, between yin and yang, which serves as the place where the City God works.

It also implicitly fits with the City God's responsibility to connect Yin and Yang and to guide humans and ghosts.

Luo Sanchi also followed.

After entering the City God Temple, Jiang Lin looked around and saw black bricks on the ground and red wood beams. Everywhere he looked was red and black. It looked very depressing, but not eerie. Instead, it had a sense of grandeur and dignity.

"Master, please take your seat."

Luo Sanchi led Jiang Lin to sit down, served him tea, and then sat below Jiang Lin.

"Master, please allow me to do so."

Luo Sanchi organized his words and said with a wry smile, "Not long ago, someone broke into my place. I can't say that everything was turned upside down, but it also put my entire City God Temple in a state of panic."

"Who?" Jiang Lin didn't even look at Luo Sanchi, but just raised his hand to drink tea.

It’s not that Jiang Lin wants to show off, but now Jiang Lin has the command of Fengdu Jiuquan hanging on his waist and comes here as the Black Law Mage.

The rack at that end must be held up.

At the same time, Jiang Lin was also curious about who would dare to cause trouble in the City God Temple and turn the dignified City God into this state.

I was so busy that I didn't even have time to deal with the mage's "surprise inspection" immediately.

"Hangzhou Lingyin Temple, Zen Master Daoji..."

Luo Sanchi smiled bitterly and said a name.

Then, he explained softly, "Master, you should know that I am stationed in Hangzhou Prefecture, and I am not a permanent resident of the City God Temple here."

"As soon as I received the order from the Master, I stepped up to handle the matter, but it was too chaotic and I was unable to spare any time."

"Until now, the Zen master is still staying in the City God Temple in Hangzhou."

Zen Master Dao Ji?

Jiang Lin was stunned when he heard this. He wouldn't say he was familiar with this name, but it was certainly well-known.

He was very familiar with this name, both in his past life and in this life.

Of course, in this life, from what Jiang Lin had seen and heard, most people only knew that Lingyin Temple had a "misfortune". It was the most famous temple in Hangzhou, where even the late emperor had come to burn incense, but it had a crazy monk.

However, in the eyes of practitioners, this Zen Master Dao Ji is not a simple person.

"How did you get into trouble with this Zen master?"

Jiang Lin looked at Luo Sanchi.

Zen Master Dao Ji likes to meddle in other people's affairs, but he never does anything wrong. He only cares about good and evil, and doesn't care about anything else. He just hopes that good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be punished with evil.

It can be said that he is a pure and wise man who adheres to the most simple Buddhist principles.

"I really don't know."

Luo Sanchi smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "After this Zen master came, he didn't talk about anything, but just made trouble."

"Master, please judge for yourself. This Zen master is a truly great monk of great virtue and wisdom. He is also the reincarnation of Lingshan Arhat. He is also very upright and kind. If he wants me to help you, I will refuse out of ignorance."

"But they just won't say anything and are just making trouble. What can I do?"

"I also know that Master Dao Ji never speaks without a purpose, but...I really don't know how I have offended this Buddha."

Jiang Lin listened to Luo Sanchi's complaints and did not express any opinions. He just said, "There is a matter that was ordered by the Beiji Exorcist Institute to kill ghosts and evil spirits. This matter happened in Hangzhou."

Hearing this, Luo Sanchi's expression became even more bitter.

He knew that the wizard's visit could not be a private matter, but he did not expect that it was an order from the Arctic Exorcism House!
How can this matter be minor?
Moreover, from what the mage said, it seemed that he was going to hold me accountable for not supervising strictly? !

He, the City God, is under "dual management", while the wizard in front of him is the "dual representative" of Fengdu and the North Pole.

He could suppress himself with any identity he could think of, but now it was the Black Law Master of Fengdu who came with an order from the Arctic Exorcism Institute.

Luo Sanchi suddenly felt a huge pressure.

"Please give me your orders, Master. I will do my best."

Jiang Lin stood up, looked at Luo Sanchi, and said, "Hangzhou City God obeys your orders."

"I am Luo Sanchi, the City God of Hangzhou Prefecture, and I obey the imperial decree of the North Pole Fengdu!"

Luo Sanchi hurriedly bent down to listen.

"I order you to investigate Hangzhou and report all the details of the ghost fetus and ghost baby."

"Also, tell the city gods of all counties in Hangzhou to arrest any merchants transporting ghost fetuses, regardless of the reason."

"Instruct the Yuhang City God to keep a close eye on a Taoist priest named Wang in his jurisdiction. Report any unusual movements. If there is any way to stop him, he can be executed first and reported later!"
