Xuan Cheng came to the pavilion at some point, saw Shen Muzhi who was frowning and contemplative, opened his mouth to pull him back from his contemplation, and asked, "I heard Qingguo say, I want to go to the temple fair tomorrow?"

Shen Muzhi cleaned up the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and nodded helplessly, "Yes." I didn't agree with it, but my eldest brother wanted to go. ”

"It's good to go shopping. Xuan Cheng said.

Shen Muzhi couldn't help but be surprised, and looked at Xuan Cheng, "Do you think you should go shopping too?"

Xuan Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not a thing to always nest in this house, it's good to go out for a walk and relax." It's best to put on a big show and let everyone know you're in Settle City. ”

Shen Mu was stunned, "Why?"

Xuan Cheng replied, "Your father and your eldest brother, one is the dignified General of Jin Guo Erpin Zhenbei, and the other is General Sipin, how can I say that they are also important ministers of the country." If it's a big fanfare, everyone knows that you are in Anding City, and if something happens to you, it's not so easy to block. In this way, your safety in Anding City will be more secure. Even if that old thing really made any deal with the Great Sword Sect, if he wanted to do it, he would have to weigh the impact. ”

After hearing this, Shen Muzhi's mood was not a little lighter because Xuan Cheng's sentence was more secure, thinking of his own speculation just now, after hesitating for a moment, he said, "I'm afraid we can't spend it here anymore." ”

Xuan Cheng was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"We may have to find a way to get back to Beijing as soon as possible. Shen Muzhi said hesitantly.

As soon as the words came out, Xuan Cheng stared at Shen Muzhi with wide eyes, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Are you okay with your brain?"

Shen Muzhi smiled bitterly, he could understand Xuan Cheng's reaction, because when he heard this before, he also had a similar reaction.

"Your eldest brother and your father don't know what the outcome of going out of the city will be, it's normal, but you should know very well, right?" Xuan Cheng looked at him in disbelief, and his eyes were full of disgust that hatred could not be made of steel.

Shen Muzhi took a deep breath and explained, "I know. It's just that I made some mistakes in my previous predictions. ”

"What's wrong?" asked Xuan Cheng impatiently.

Shen Muzhi said all his previous speculations.

After hearing this, Xuan Cheng also fell silent, his brows furrowed, and his expression was solemn.

After a long time, he spoke, "In other words, if you don't leave, your Shen family may end up with a full house?"

Shen Muzhi nodded.

Xuan Cheng was silent again.

Shen Muzhi sighed, looked at Xuan Cheng's dark face, and after being entangled in his heart for a while, he finally decided to say, "Dao Chief, I want to discuss something with you." ”

Xuan Cheng raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were still disgusted, "I know what you want to say! Don't worry, it's really to the point where you can't return to the sky, I won't die with you! My senior brother is dead, I'm the only one left in this line, I'm going to die again, but the inheritance will be broken." ”

When Shen Muzhi heard this, he felt a little unspeakable in his heart.

"That's very good. After he was silent for a while, he said, "There is one more matter, I want to ask you for help." ”

Xuan Cheng frowned, "What's the matter?"

"When the time comes, I hope that Dao Chief, you can take Qingguo with you. Shen Muzhi looked at him and pleaded.

When Xuan Cheng heard this, anger suddenly appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Shen Muzhi said again, "I know you dislike her as a demon. Although you say that shemales have different paths, I believe that demons are not necessarily bad. At least, green fruits are good. She saved me not next time, and I can't even bother her to die with me again. So, I beg you to do me a favor. The Tao is gracious, and there is no reward in this life, if there is an afterlife......"

"Stop!" Xuan Cheng interrupted him irritably, then looked at Shen Muzhi, snorted, and said, "Let's not talk about whether I am willing to save her, let me ask you, do you know what the blood contract between you is?"

Shen Mu was stunned, not knowing what Xuan Cheng meant by mentioning this at this time, he looked at him blankly and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xuan Cheng's face showed hatred again, "The blood contract between you, you are the master, she is the servant." Moreover, her heart pulse was damaged before, and it was reshaped with your painstaking efforts. This means that the blood contract between you cannot be broken at all, and if you die, she will die too. ”

Shen Muzhi was shocked, froze there, looked at Xuan Cheng in disbelief, and was stunned for a long time before he muttered, "What the Taoist chief said is true?"

Xuan Cheng sighed, "Although I don't like that little goblin, I'm not going to lie!"

Shen Muzhi's expression suddenly darkened.

thought that if this game could not be broken, at least Qingguo would still have a glimmer of life. Unexpectedly, there is such a thing as a blood contract.

Now that I think about it, it was really a mistake to take her by my side in the first place.

It was he who caused her.

Originally, she could have been free in the mountain, although with her lively personality, maybe the days in the mountains were colder, but at least there was no worry about life.

However, since she met him, her life could have been safe and smooth, but suddenly it was full of danger. Now, it is even more difficult to get out of the predicament.

"Don't be too discouraged. You can't give up easily until the last minute. In this way, let's go to the temple fair tomorrow, according to what I just said, make the movement bigger, the bigger the better. For the rest, I'll go back and think about it first, and then I'll talk about it tomorrow after visiting the temple fair. Xuan Cheng said as he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

Shen Muzhi suppressed the gloomy mood in his heart, looked up at him, tried to make himself appear more confident, and nodded.

Xuan Cheng left, and Shen Mu sat in the pavilion for a long time, and then adjusted his mood and went to find Shen Wei.

Just now Xuan Cheng said that he wanted to move bigger, so let his father call Yu Fucheng, and everyone went to the temple fair together.

I don't know what my father and Yu Fucheng said, but early in the morning of the second day, Yu Fucheng came with people, including guards and entourage, and there were more than 20 people.

In addition, there were more than 20 people under Shen Wei, and there were more than 50 people in the group, so they went to the temple fair.

As soon as these fifty or so people took to the street, they shocked the people on the street.

Wang Qi walked next to Qingguo, looking at the front and back, the frightened expression on his face was hard to get rid of for a long time.

In recent years, there are many people who offer incense and pray for blessings in the City God Temple.

As soon as these fifty or so people came, they immediately alarmed the people in the City God Temple. For a while, there was a lot of discussion. I don't know who said the words, it didn't take much effort, and the identity of Shen Mu and his pedestrian was already known to everyone.

Someone looked at Shen Muping in a wheelchair and whispered.

There are also people who do not hesitate to praise Shen Wei's exploits as a general of Zhenbei over the years.

Yu Fucheng walked next to Shen Wei and smiled meaningfully.

"Go to Shangzhi incense?" After entering the temple, Yu Fucheng glanced at the temple that greeted him and was sincerely afraid, and asked Shen Wei beside him with a smile.

Shen Wei nodded, and then said to the temple blessings who came over, "Please have three per person." ”

Miao Zhu was stunned for a moment, and looked at the people standing in a row behind Shen Wei, a little stunned.

"But isn't the incense enough?" asked Shen Wei.

Miao Zhu returned to his senses and hurriedly replied, "Enough! ”

Shen Wei smiled, and after giving in to Yu Fucheng, he took the lead in following Miao Zhu to the main hall.

Shen Muzhi was also about to follow, but when he saw that Xuancheng and Qingguo beside him didn't move, he couldn't help but be stunned, turned his head to look at the two of them, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xuan Cheng rolled his eyes and didn't answer.

Qingguo frowned slightly and said, "I don't think I'm very welcome in that place." ”

Xuan Cheng heard this and snorted, "Of course you are not welcome in this place!"

When Qingguo heard this, her face turned slightly pale.

Shen Muzhi glanced at Xuan Cheng helplessly, and Xuan Cheng turned his head. He had no choice but to comfort Qingguo and said, "It's okay." This incense is nothing more than a thought, please be like this or not. I'm not going either. ”

"It's okay, brother, go ahead. I'm waiting for you here with the Taoist Chief. Qingguo replied.

Shen Muzhi shook his head.

He actually didn't really want to go himself.

If it had been useful to ask God, he would have asked for it long ago.

If it's useless, why ask for it.

Who knows, Xuan Cheng said at this time, "You should still go to incense." ”

Shen Muzhi was puzzled, "Why?"

Xuan Cheng replied, "Legend has it, this year is approaching, this city god lord will generally guard in the temple, you go to incense, ask for a beg, maybe this city god lord will hear, and then be merciful, help you back!"

Shen Muzhi didn't expect Xuan Cheng to say such a reason, and he couldn't laugh or cry. Shaking his head, he was silent.

Unexpectedly, Xuan Cheng did turn his face and scolded, "If you want to go, you can go!"

Shen Muzhi frowned, seeing that Xuan Cheng's face was not good, when he reached the rebuttal words on his lips, he swallowed it back, thought about it, and said, "Then listen to you." ”

After speaking, he called Wang Qi, who was at a loss, and walked to the main hall together.

The two of them successively received three good incense sticks from the temple at the door, and then followed behind everyone, waiting for the incense.

In the hall, the golden body of the old man of the city god was shiny and smooth, and his expressionless face looked a little serious. The eyelids droop slightly, as if looking down on all beings.

Shen Muzhi looked up at him and thought to himself, if there are really gods in this world, these gods are probably just like this city god - 'condescending and ignoring the common people'.

"Lin Gongzi, it's your turn. Yu Fucheng's voice suddenly sounded beside him, pulling Shen Muzhi's mind back from the golden body of the City God.

Shen Muzhi turned his head and smiled at Yu Fucheng, then stepped forward and lit the sandalwood in his hand, bowed down according to the rules, and inserted it into the incense burner.

After finishing, he withdrew from the hall, and Shen Wei and the others were already outside the hall.

Miaozhu invited them to the backyard for tea. Yu Fucheng also said that there is a well in this city god temple, the well water is very special, and the tea boiled out is particularly fragrant.

Shen Wei looked at Shen Muzhi, "What does Young Master Lin think?"

Shen Muzhi nodded.

Shen Muzhi called Xuan Cheng, Qingguo and Wang Qi, and then pushed the eldest brother and went to the backyard with Shen Wei and Yu Fucheng. As for the others, they stayed at the front.

The backyard of the temple is quite large, and there are large trees in it. There is an ancient well next to the tree, and the bluestone by the well is like a mirror, which can reflect the light.

As Yu Fucheng said, the water in this well is indeed sweet, and it is very good for making tea.

It's just that the tea is good, but the words are boring.

Shen Muzhi was upset when he heard this, and after sitting at the tea table for a long time, he got up, walked under the tree and looked up.

Xuan Cheng quickly followed.

"What kind of tree is this?" asked Shen Muzhi.

"Bodhi. Xuan Cheng replied.

Shen Muzhi thought about it when he heard this, and asked, "Bodhi is a Bodhi without a tree?"

Xuan Cheng gave him a strange look in his eyes and nodded.

Shen Muzhi was puzzled again: "This City God Temple belongs to Buddhism?"

"Buddha fart!" Xuan Cheng scolded in a low voice.

Shen Mu was stunned and laughed.
