If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 199 Adopting a Ghost Son
Chi Miao looked strange and said, "What does this have to do with Tiger Girl Grandma? Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva wants to record the merits of the Dragon King of the West Sea!"

“Uh, the underworld believes that the person who started the trend of worshipping a godfather in Tianmen Town was the Dragon King of the West Sea?” Xiao Yu was stunned, feeling a little uncomfortable.

She obviously didn't want to be in the spotlight, especially in the matter of worshipping Master Qi, she hoped to gain benefits secretly without anyone noticing.

But when she saw that the Dragon King of the West Sea received the praise of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, she felt a little envious.

Yin Merit means nothing to her, and the Emperor of Heaven will never reward her with Yin Merit anyway.

What she envied was the appreciation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

If Ksitigarbha's appreciation was directed at her, she would immediately ask the dog-meat Taoist priest to preside over the ceremony of worshipping the god. Even if Ksitigarbha wanted to record the merits for the Dragon King of the West Sea, she still decided to burn a deed for him.

At least he paid attention to Tianmen Town, and didn't mind if mortals came to him to become their sworn brothers. What if it worked out?
"If it's not the Dragon King of the West Sea, who else could it be? The Dragon King adopted Zhai Dagou from Tianmen Town as his adopted son, which triggered the people of Tianmen Town to crazily worship their adopted son." Chi Miao said.

Xiao Yu quickly calmed down and asked curiously, "Why didn't Ksitigarbha blame 'Prince Yama' but instead approved of this trend?"

Chi Miao said: "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said that he once made a great wish to save the sentient beings in the underworld, but unfortunately, few people in the world do good, and many do evil.

If we save this person today, more people will sink into the sea of ​​suffering tomorrow.

All the evil and vice in the world comes from the lack of reverence.

They have no fear of retribution after death, and no fear of the gods who are in charge of the laws of heaven and earth, so they do anything.

Nowadays, the people in Tianmen Town worship their god for their own benefit, but isn’t it also driven by profit to persuade people to be good and to obtain blessings in the next life?

Doing good deeds and accumulating virtue in this life in order to be reborn as a citizen of the great Chinese nation in the next life is also a hope to gain benefits.

Therefore, worshiping Qiye is essentially no different from worshiping Buddha or gods.

After all, worshipping gods and Buddhas is a good deed that accumulates merits.”

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "I admire your talent and courage. You always call me 'grandma'. Recently, worshipping godfathers is popular in Tianmen Town. How about we become godparents and you become my son?"

Chi Miao was bewildered.

It is indeed popular to worship gods in Tianmen Town recently, but everyone worships gods and Buddhas, and you are just a mortal!

"Why do you suddenly want to worship God's parents? I have always respected Grandma Tiger Girl. There is no need to worship God's parents, right?"

"'Tiger Girl Grandma' sounds ugly." Xiaoyu said.

"There are no such rules in the underworld." Chi Miao murmured.

Xiao Yu restrained her smile and said calmly: "General Guan Huchen didn't know any magic, but he summoned you and God Song with a petition. Why didn't you follow the rules at that time?"

Chi Miao seemed to understand: this shameless, greedy, vicious and vicious "tiger girl" was not recruiting a son, but a younger brother! She hoped to summon him like Guan Huchen summoned Inspector Song, and then drive him to do things.

——When we were at Hengsha Pass, we were a collusion between humans and ghosts, and ghosts protected each other. Now I am being watched by the God Gongcao of the City God Temple!

Chi Miao wanted to shout out in grievance like this.

But when he met the cold eyes of "Tiger Girl Grandma", he trembled and lowered his head.

The two rejections just now were already the limit of what his courage could bear. If he really angered this ferocious tiger, it would just be a sworn brother, not a killer.

Chi Miao didn't dare to refuse anymore, so he could only say vaguely: "Godmother, can you give me two days to think about it? I have to go on a business trip now and don't have time to think about anything else."

——You've already called me "godmother", why are you still thinking about it for two days?
Xiaoyu understood that he was worried about the "Guan family".

But there was no point in him worrying.

It is no coincidence that the Guan family appears here today.

Even if it was a different time, even if Chi Miao was careful and didn't reveal any traces, the Guan family would still be following her and would still expose her when they got to her.

Xiao Yu shouted, "It's better to do it now than to wait for a better day. Kneel down and kowtow to me, then go and do your job! Without this tiger skin, you are not worthy of being my son."

"My Godmother is here, let me bow to you."

Chi Miao had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow nine times respectfully to Xiao Yu.

Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, "My son, you can go. I am a loving mother and will miss you often. Remember to check the 'home letter' I burned for you."

Chi Miao got up from the ground and groaned, "Godmother, I can't guarantee that I can receive the 'letter from home' every time. After all, my son is busy with official duties and can't stay near Tianmen Town day and night.

If we were too far away, I might not be able to smell the incense you burn, hear your call, and check your letter. "

Xiao Yu said coldly: "Don't make excuses! As long as you are willing to work hard, there are always more ways than difficulties.

As long as he has his mother in his heart, he can always feel the call of his loving mother, even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers between them. "

It’s not that this “loving mother” is too strict.

Whether the distance was far, whether he could smell the incense and hear the calling, were all said by the godson himself.

What if he is so unfilial that he claims he didn't know about the "letter from home" even though he received it? What should she, the poor "little old mother", do?

But what the ghost son said makes sense.

On that day at Hengsha Pass, Hu Chen made such a grand display in order to summon the great god Song that he even alarmed Qin Laogui who was at Feixiandu hundreds of miles away.

Such a scene finally attracted ghosts and gods.

If she wanted to summon her ghost son, it would be impossible for her to let all the ghosts and gods within hundreds of miles know about it.

"You need to think of more solutions, and mother will work with you to find solutions. We can always solve problems by working together." She slowed down her tone and soothed him.

Chi Miao quietly glanced at the City God Temple in the distance and said, "Godmother, I will go and catch the hanged ghost Zhang Xiaoqiao first, and then send her back to the Wrongful Death City. After I have completed my mission, I will come to discuss the matter of the 'family letter' with you, okay?"

Xiaoyu smiled and said, "My son, go ahead."

"Godmother, I'm leaving!" Chi Miao turned into a gust of cold wind and disappeared into the alley.

"Brother Qiong, Brother Qiong, I'm Lao Chi, please come out and see me!"

Chi Miao did not track down Zhang Xiaoqiao immediately.

Instead, he immediately flew towards the City God Temple in Tianmen Town, calling out to Guan Qiong as he flew.

He had been a deputy inspector for decades, and he knew almost all the ghosts and gods with names in the Western Shu area. Guan Qiong was worried about being discovered by Xiao Yu, so he didn't show his face completely, but Chi Miao recognized his voice.

"Old Chi, you shouldn't talk so much to Yu Fengxian."

Guan Qiong stood on the roof, holding the "Han Yue Dao" in her arms, bathing in the slightly cold moonlight, her face hidden in the shadows, like a peerless master who was isolated from the world.

"Brother Qiong, you saw it clearly from the side. Was my face showing more joy, or helplessness and fear?" Chi Miao said helplessly.

Guan Qiong said calmly: "You don't have to be afraid of her. She doesn't dare to kill you."

——If you were not afraid of her, why didn't you reveal your true identity? Why did you immediately hide hundreds of steps away when she glanced at you with doubt?
Chi Miao sneered in his heart, and a gracious smile appeared on his fat face, saying: "Brother Qiong, I am a coward, okay.

Please do me a small favor and don't report what happened tonight to the City God."

"You have taken Yu Fengxian as your godfather." Guan Qiong frowned.

"This is nothing. Songtou is Feng Nipo's godson!" Chi Miao said.

"Feng Nipo can exorcise gods and control ghosts. Song Ruhai is the little ghost she raised back then. It's natural for her to call her 'grandma'. But who is Yu Fengxian? You are not a little ghost. What's the point of currying favor with her?" Guan Qiong said.

"I'm not trying to curry favor with her," Chi Miao said, but suddenly found it difficult to explain clearly. It would be too embarrassing to explain clearly, so he said impatiently, "Guan Qiong, in the past, when your Guan family asked me for help, I never refused. Now you want to embarrass me?"

Seeing that he was getting hard, Guan Qiong softened and said, "Brother, don't be anxious! I'm not targeting you, but Yu Fengxian.

No matter who you choose as your godmother, my Guan family will only send you gifts, but Yu Fengxian is a little special. "

"What's wrong with her?" Chi Miao asked.

Guan Qiong opened her mouth and groaned, "She was beheading a god at the gate of the government office, don't you know?"

Chi Miao said disapprovingly: "What's the use of beheading gods? Ge Qing and Zhu Tong are just ordinary heavenly soldiers and generals.

Every year, I have seen hundreds of human warriors and heroic souls selected from the underworld.

Looking at the world, how many tens of thousands should it be?
I have heard that when times are bad, it is not uncommon for the Heavenly Court to lose millions of soldiers and generals each year."

Guan Qiong sneered: "Brother, do you look down on Ge Qing? You were his subordinate before."

Chi Miao's face turned green, and he shouted, "What's the point of competing with me? How can anyone look extravagant by killing a ghost messenger like me?"

"Killing Ge Qing is not special, but Ge Qing——"

Guan Qiong opened her mouth, but ultimately did not dare to say words like "representing the Emperor of Heaven" or "representing the will of heaven".

Not to mention him, even Guan Chenghuang doesn't dare to say anything.

Guan Chenghuang also sternly warned them that no matter who they were facing, they should keep their mouths shut on this matter and stay away from Yu Fengxian.

Apart from fulfilling the earlier agreement with the Li family of Xishu - to follow Yu Fengxian and make sure she did not leave Yingxiang Mansion without permission - the Guan family and the Wen family were absolutely not allowed to get involved in anything concerning Yu Fengxian.

Thinking of this, Guan Qiong suddenly felt very bored.

"Forget it, if you want to, then go ahead. My Guan family is the most loyal and will never report my brother. I was just joking!"

Chi Miao smiled and bowed, saying: "Brother, please do me another favor. I want to find the hanged ghost Zhang Xiaoqiao.

Brother, you have sharp eyes, have you noticed where she went?"

"She went out of the city and ran all the way north. You can look for her north along the Liang River. She might have returned home." Guan Qiong said.

"Go home. Shuanghe Village or Qinghe Village?" Chi Miao's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Her home is close to the Lianghetan battlefield in the north. It's been very uneasy there recently!

Brother, you are the local duty officer and you are familiar with the road. How about you accompany me?"

Guan Qiong despised him in his heart as a coward, and with a slight hesitation on his face, he nodded and said, "Brother, you are here in Tianmen Town to do business, and I will do my best to help you."

Even if he wanted to keep an eye on Yu Fengxian, he wouldn't just stand near her house and stare blankly.

As the duty officer, he not only has the duty to patrol the streets and record the words and deeds of the people in Tianmen Town, but also has the magical power to cross hundreds of miles in an instant and see an entire street at a glance.

He was following Yu Fengxian and there was no need for him to follow her around all the time.

Even when she was at Wuthering Heights, he never neglected his duties as the "Duty Officer of Tianmen Town".

It would take an ordinary person an hour to walk forty miles on horseback, but he could run back and forth in just a few breaths.

Both Shuanghe Village and Qinghe Village are less than 100 miles away from Tianmen Town, which is just a few steps away for him.

Little things.

"Strange, where did the Guan family go?"

It had been more than an hour since they returned to Tianbaoju. Xiaoyu had completed her internal training for the day and was ready to go to bed. However, she habitually took the opportunity of closing the window to scan the location of the "Guan family", but did not see a single ghost.

In fact, she had already discovered the abnormality of Guan’s family.

On her way back to Tianbaoju from Xiaojingxuan, the Guan family never showed up.

When explaining Xiaoqiang's "spirituality" to Hei Mei and Shaoyao, there was no sign of Guan's family outside the attic.

"Even if he would leave for a while from time to time in the past, it would never be more than half an hour. Could it be that something happened to the Guan family's Gongcao Shen?"

It takes less than a quarter of an hour for the duty officer to patrol Tianmen Town.

Therefore, the "Guan family" never left the range of Xiaoyu's "heart's spiritual eye" for more than half an hour.

Even when she was diving in Wind Howl Bay, that guy was still floating back and forth on the river.

He couldn't see her clearly at the bottom of the river, but she could clearly see his helpless and confused expression.

As for whether the "Guan family" are off work. Ever since her Heart Sea Secret was updated to the "Spirit Eye of the Heart" version, which was also the first time she saw the Gongcao God of the City God Temple, they only changed shifts and never went off work.

The next afternoon, a plump middle-aged man who claimed to be the "East Pavilion Chief" of the Prince of Qinghe's Mansion came to Tianbaoju and directly said that he wanted to see "the Great Qin Yu Fengxian".

"Miss Yu, have you received the news? Something happened at the Lianghe Beach battlefield in the north. The Ten Thousand Demons Parade may be imminent. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince plans to invite you to participate in the 'Shudong Martial Arts Conference'."
