Asking the stunned passers-by about the location of the government office, Li Xianyuan looked as usual and drove a horse-drawn carriage straight to the government office, dragging the tattered carriage.

The horse neighed and moved forward with a clattering step. The previous heavy weight only frightened it. That is, the official horse, if it were an ordinary horse, it would have been frightened and ran away.

After passing through the gate, we arrived in front of the county government office. Several officials rushed forward and surrounded us. The holes in the car body were so conspicuous that it was difficult not to be discovered.

The leader drew his sword and shouted: "Who is it?"

Li Xianyuan took out his jade identity card and threw it over. The chief official took a look at it, his expression changed, and he knelt down respectfully: "Young man, please pay homage to the Marquis of Guannei!"

The officials behind him also knelt down.

Li Xianyuan asked them to get up, got down from the carriage and said to the leader: "Help me change the carriage."

The chief officer snorted, held up the jade plaque with both hands, and quickly ran into the county government office.

Not long after, the county magistrate, who was dressed in official clothes, crossed the high threshold, walked down the steps and walked quickly in front of Li Xianyuan. He lifted up his skirt and knelt down to worship regardless of his age.

"I pay my respects to the Marquis of Guannei!"

Li Xianyuan stepped to one side to avoid the kneeling.

The magistrate was startled, then stood up with a wry smile: "Master Li, what are you doing?"

Li Xianyuan said calmly: "I'm not used to these red tapes, so please just ask the magistrate and county to treat me as a civilian."

"Then... Your Majesty is being disrespectful." The county magistrate stretched out his hand to invite him in: "Master Li, please come in, but I don't know if Mr. Li is not in Wuhou County, how did he come to Xiaguan's place?"

Li Xianyuan shook his head and refused: "It's free if you come in. I'm just passing by. I'll change the carriage and leave."

The magistrate smiled wryly again, no longer forcing himself.

After a while, the chief official came with a carriage. Li Xianyuan took out his baggage, handed him the broken carriage and horse, and climbed into the new carriage.

"There is no need to send him far away." Li Xianyuan left a message, swung the reins, and the horse's hooves crisply stepped on the bricks, and drove away from the county government gate.

Everyone in front of the door looked at each other in silence.

Some people are envious of how comfortable and leisurely it is.

After returning the same way and burning incense, Li Xianyuan finally came to the tofu stall pointed out by passers-by.

With the flow of people coming and going, Li Xianyuan did see a path that turned left, but it was an alley, not a street.

The alley was not wide and could only accommodate a carriage to pass through. Li Xianyuan got out of the car and walked into the alley.

The eaves block the sun, and the alley is somewhat dim. The continuous drizzle in the past few days has made the ground a little damp, and the corners of the walls are dark green with moss.

The alley is more than ten feet long, and after walking to the middle, Li Xianyuan finally saw the "Temple of the Earth".

A square wooden niche, no more than three feet high, stood against the wall, with a circle of moss growing on the edge. The ground inside the box was rough and spattered with mud. The incense burner was full of incense ashes, and the offering plate was empty and rarely occupied.

Ask.

The landowners in this land are really miserable. But the worse it gets, the better it is for Li Xianyuan.

Li Xianyuan raised his hands to the Tudigong statue in the wooden niche which was no more than an arm's length and said, "Li Xianyuan, please see Tudigong!"

…

There was no reply, but Li Xianyuan had already prepared in his heart. If he could shout out so easily, the Earth God would no longer be a god.

Li Xianyuan said again: "Land, yesterday the Great Sage Qitian defeated the Buddha Sun Wukong asked me in a dream to give me a seed, and asked me to go find a land tomorrow to inquire about it. Therefore, I came to visit on the order of the Great Sage Sun."

Even mortals are familiar with the story of Sun Wukong, let alone gods. Especially when Sun Wukong was on his way to learn the scriptures, Sun Wukong often tormented these little earth gods. If we rank the things that Sun Wukong avoids, Dragon Palace naturally ranks first, and the second is none other than the earth and mountain gods.

Genus.

Therefore, the power of the fox and the tiger is much more effective than Xiaozhi's emotion and management.

The niche box was calm, as if there was no land to live here. Li Xianyuan pretended to be angry, and his expression turned cold: "Are you really not showing up? Then don't blame me for reporting it to the great sage Sun of the Ming Dynasty, let him come in person. I'm afraid it won't be like me at that time. That’s so easy to talk to. Your beard is quite long, come to think of it..."

"No, no, no...you kid, why are you so grumpy?"

Before he finished speaking, an old voice suddenly sounded in the alley, and a burst of white mist rose up in the niche, then dispersed, revealing a figure on the top of the niche.

The figure was less than two feet tall. He was about the same level as Li Xianyuan when he stood on the niche. He was holding a walking stick, had thick and fluffy gray hair, was round in shape, and had three long beards. He looked like a civet cat that had grown into a spirit. It was not awe-inspiring at all.

He was dressed in ragged linen clothes, very shabby, with mud splattered on the hem. He was not much better than the beggar. When he looked inside the niche again, he saw that the statue of Tu Tu was gone. It turned out that this statue was the true form of Lord Tu Tu.

The earth belongs to the mortal world and is the god of mountains, rivers and vegetation. Naturally, it is also made by spirits. It seems that its true form is not worse than a civet cat, but it is inseparable from ten.

Li Xian said coldly for the sake of it: "I thought you were hiding in this niche and didn't dare to come out."

He was not used to talking like this, so he looked a little awkward. However, this earthly man was probably frightened by the word "Sun Wukong" and did not notice it.

"Old man, I'm old, so it's natural for me to move slowly." Feeling that he was wrong, the landlord coughed dryly.

"I am the land of Wunan County, you and me..." The land master put on airs as usual and chewed on the words. Halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered Li Xianyuan's identity, lowered his body and said with a smile: "Young master, you can ask for help from the little god. What's the matter?"

Look at how scared he is, either it's because of rumors spreading over the past thousands of years that Sun Wukong's reputation has become more and more popular among the land and mountain gods, or it's because Journey to the West was not written in too much detail, and how Sun Wukong caused trouble for the land was not included.

It's just right. Li Xianyuan said seriously: "The Great Sage gave me a seed yesterday. It returned to Lingshan in a hurry and there was no professor. I asked me to find an earth mountain god to ask."

"Tao Seed?" Tu Tu Gong looked at Li Xianyuan up and down, full of envy: "The Great Sage is really kind to you, this Tao Seed is a good thing."

"What's so good about it."

The earth-gong, who was only as high as his arms, looked around for no one, threw away his crutches, jumped up and crossed his legs, sat on the niche and bounced a few times.

The crutch seemed to have lost its substance and fell straight back to its original position in the niche.

"Yes, now that you have the Tao seed, you are no longer a mortal. You are just like a minor god. You can receive the incense and become a god."

It sounds ridiculous. Li Xianyuan skipped the first level of cultivation and directly became a god?

Tu Tu Gong saw what Li Xianyuan was thinking: "It's not that simple. How can we, the incense gods, be compared with those monks who are down-to-earth and move forward step by step."

Li Xianyuan clasped his fists: "Excuse me, Lord Tutu, to explain."

The Tuigong pinched his long beard and was quite satisfied with Li Xianyuan's attitude, and said: "Although we are gods, we have no magical powers, only empty titles. I at least have a small earth god Dangdang, and you only have Taoism. But there is no priesthood..."

"Is there a problem with this?"
