Chapter 11: Homecoming
The Jiazhou City God Temple covers a small area, and the building is quite old. There are three courtyards in total. Outside is the incense hall, dedicated to the statue of the city god.
In the middle courtyard are five or six houses, in which the temple servants and temple servants live. In the innermost courtyard is the inner shrine of the City God, which belongs to the private area and is a place where the monks of the earth and the monks gather.
Wang Chong's goal is this 'City God's Inner Shrine'.
Because according to Gongsun Zhi's mention and the broken memories in his heart, Wang Chong must enter the inner temple of the city god if he wants to regain control of the city god temple.
Of course, as for the existence of the 'Twin City God', Gongsun Zhi has no confidence.
After all, since Lao Wang's death, Hao Lan took over the City God Temple, and the City God Inner Temple also imprinted Hao Lan's name. Then Jiazhou Chenghuang is already Hao Lan's position.
Now that Wang Chong has come back from the dead, can he also be accepted by the Chenghuang Inner Ancestral Hall? There is no answer to this question, and no one knows.
But Wang Chong still has the 'City God Talisman', and he can fight.
This is a bizarre phenomenon that has not been seen in a hundred years, and if you don't enter the inner temple of the city god, there will always be no answer.
Wang Chong had already come to the outside of the City God Temple at this moment, looking at it from afar.
In silence, Wang Chong immersed himself in the world of the 'halo' picture scroll, and saw the details of the entire City God Temple clearly in advance.
Where there are temple guards, where there is negligence, where to hide, where to take shortcuts. The clear and clear map was displayed in front of Wang Chong's eyes.
Even where the next temple patrol will be, Wang Chong can know.
It's a pity that Wang Chong can only carry out this kind of map snooping under static actions. If you take action, your body and mind are different, and you can only withdraw from the world of the 'halo' picture scroll.
Rely on memory, plan the route, and then return to reality to carry it out. Fortunately, Wang Chong was a programmer in his previous life and had some achievements in logic and memory. So this method is quite handy for him.
About half an hour, Wang Chong was ready and took a deep breath. When he came to the wall outside the temple that was close to the middle of nowhere, he shook his left and right hands, and two spider silks erupted and entangled, sticking to the wall.
This was the starting point of Wang Chong's plan, climbing up without any difficulty and landing quietly.
Then, he leaned down and touched for another spot.
Along the way, Wang Chong disguised the appearance of the temple from time to time, successfully avoided several patrol points, and passed through the outer courtyard and the middle courtyard unimpeded, and arrived at the inner courtyard.
The 'yin' ability of the black-haired spider and the red-skinned toad has been brought into full play and is very effective. Wang Chong was very satisfied with his choice.
After several hidden jumps in a row, Wang Chong approached the 'Inner Temple of the City God'.
It is a small hall with an antique appearance, and the walls are dusty like dead wood. Coupled with the moss and vines around it, it shows the traces of the vicissitudes of time, and it is silent.
Because it is an inner courtyard, except for two temple guards wearing patterned soft leather armor, they are stationed outside with spears in their hands. Other idle people are not allowed to approach.
"Who?"
One of the temple keepers noticed the movement and shouted in a deep voice.
Wang Chong had already disguised Hao Lan's appearance, Shi Shiran walked out of the shade of the tree with his hand, and said calmly: "It's me." ”
"See Mr. Miaozhu. The two temple members saluted respectfully.
Wang Chong didn't dare to stay for a long time, after all, the disguise can only be appearance, and the more he looks at it, the more fake it becomes, and it can't stand scrutiny.
Taking advantage of this confusion, he crossed the two garrisoned temple guards and walked up the steps of the inner shrine of the city god. Then, without surprise, he pushed open the door and stepped in.
......
In the middle courtyard, Hao Lan washed and cleaned up in the temple room, still wearing a red and black dyed sacrificial dress, and wearing an octagonal domed temple hat.
He was about to go out for breakfast, when he suddenly became restless and froze.
"Someone opened the door of the Chenghuang Inner Ancestral Hall?"
The entire City God Temple was under Hao Lan's jurisdiction, and except for mortals and civilians, any cultivator who approached or entered could not escape the warning of the 'City God Talisman'.
However, it was impossible for mortals and civilians to bypass the patrol, enter the inner courtyard, and open the door of the inner shrine of the city god by garrisoning the temple. Although that gate seems to be unremarkable, it is secretly forbidden, and it must be the 'City God's Edict' to have the right to open.
"Not good!!"
Hao Lan was instantly shocked, picked up her robe and slammed the door open, and went straight to the inner courtyard.
"Temple servants, the inner shrine catches the traitor!
Most of the City God's Temple echoed with Hao Lan's angry voice.
This is the embodiment of the jurisdiction of the City God.
Wow......!
Most of the temple masters who were close to the inner courtyard immediately rushed towards the inner temple of the city god.
But at this moment, the two Daijia temple members standing outside the inner shrine were all stunned.
What does it mean to catch a traitor in the inner shrine?
Where are the traitors?
The two Daijia Temple Men were wondering, and suddenly saw outside the courtyard gate, Hao Lan rushed in in a hurry.
"See Mr. Miaozhu...... Didn't Mr. Hao go in......?
When Hao Lan heard this, she secretly screamed badly.
He quickly stretched out his finger and pressed it to the center of his eyebrows, and shouted: "Drive!!"
Boom! Buzz......
There is an invisible force, which spreads throughout the City God Temple.
All mortal civilians cannot perceive it, but the cultivators will be expelled.
Bang, the closed door of the Chenghuang Inner Shrine is also open without wind at this moment.
Inside the door, Wang Chong's back was standing with his hands in his hands.
Wang Chong is like a tourist, admiring the statue of the city god in front of him.
This statue enshrined in the inner shrine is not the same as the statue of the city god in the outer incense hall.
The statue outside is a folk image, with a majestic official with angry eyes and thick hair sitting on a golden chair, and on the left and right are two subordinate deputies, the 'day patrolman' and the 'night patrol officer'.
And the statue of the city god in this inner shrine is like a large piece of topaz carved out. About three feet tall, he was dressed as an elegant and long-bearded civil official. The left hand holds the official seal of the square and the right hand holds the pen.
The official seal is the 'City God's Seal', which represents the domination of the east, west, north and south, and deters monsters and evil spirits. The pen is a 'merit pen', recording the merits of subordinates, giving on behalf of Haotian, and maintaining the incense in the world.
As soon as Wang Chong entered the inner ancestral gate, he was faced with this city god jade carving.
It's like old friends meeting each other, or colleagues who are also teachers and friends getting together, Wang Chong looks at the Chenghuang jade carving, and the Chenghuang jade carving also looks at Wang Chong.
Between their eyes, Wang Chong's mind warmed slightly.
The 'City God's Edict' immediately shot out a ray of light and threw it into the official seal of the left hand of the City God's jade carving.
It's just that in an instant, the entire Jiazhou City God Temple seems to shake.
Hao Lan, who was shocked and shocked, and the temple masters who came behind him, all involuntarily stood unsteadily, and almost fell on the spot.
And Wang Chong, who was standing in front of the city god jade carving, turned up the corners of his mouth and showed a sudden smile.
"I see. ”
As the City God's Seal accepted the light of Wang Chong's 'Fu Zhao', Wang Chong's fragmented memories were all integrated and integrated, and they were all accepted by Wang Chong in an extremely harmonious manner.
About the 'Fu Zhao', about the 'City God Temple', about the 'Earth Evil Cultivators', about the 'Meritorious Incense', and the past and present of Jiazhou City, they are all vivid, and a lot of knowledge has been absorbed and learned by Wang Chong.
"It turned out that I wanted to come back and take over as Chenghuang again, I said it earlier, so I was worried about a ...... in vain."
Wang Chong let out a sigh of great relief, then arched his left and right hands, and saluted the Chenghuang Jade Carving peacefully and respectfully.
After the ceremony, Wang Chong took a deep look at the jade carving of the city god, turned around, and walked to the door of the inner ancestral hall.
Except for Hao Lan, all the temple servants knelt down respectfully and said in unison:
"See Mr. Chenghuang Wang!"
Hao Lan was already stunned, his eyes were fixed on the inner ancestral hall, on the official seal of the jade carving of the city god.
On the left side at this moment, the word 'Wang' is engraved. On the right side, the word 'Hao' is engraved.
"Impossible...... No way! How in the world has ever heard of the reign of the 'Twin City God'!!"
Hao Lan was burning for a while, and there was an unreal sense of being humiliated and deceived.
