Seeing that Qi Zhen began to be silent, everyone did not interrupt Qi Zhen's thoughts.

After a while, Qi Zhen said slowly: "What we can be sure of is that Uncle Zong, the old housekeeper, must not be as simple as it seems. He is either helping Chenghuang do something, or hindering Xiao Ao's actions, in short, he must be inextricably linked to this matter. ”

Everyone nodded, agreeing with Qi Zhen's opinion.

"It's just that we don't know now that after this attack on Zhang Dacai's mansion last night, Uncle Zong neither notified Chenghuang at the first time, nor did he take any other action, so this matter seems very unreasonable."

"Is it possible that after he left our sight, before returning to Zhang's Mansion, he found some other way to inform Chenghuang?" Meng Ran asked.

"It's possible, but if it's as you say, how can we stay all night, until now? Isn't the goal of our surprise so that the other person can know what we might have discovered and take action against us? Qi Zhen asked.

"Then according to what you say, isn't this matter a dead end?" Meng Ran then asked.

"Looks like we're going to have to make a trip to the City God Temple." Qi Zhen said.

"The previous analysis is that if we rush to the door directly, there will be a high probability that it will be extremely difficult." Li Qiang frowned and said.

"We have already revealed these news to Uncle Zong, so we can't wait any longer, if the other party is fully prepared, then it will be an even more difficult situation to meet us." Qi Zhen said in a deep voice.

"Besides, this trip may not be as bad as we imagined, after all, this kind of thing is still very important to Chenghuang, I think, if it is not very necessary, he will not kill us." Qi Zhen analyzed.

"How sure are you?" Li San asked.

"Half and half." Qi Zhen replied.

"Then let's leave now, without further ado." Li Qiang said.

A few people soon came to the City God Temple located in the north of Wuhu City.

The main thing is that the City God Temple is really easy to find.

Looking at the magnificent temple gate in front of him, which is not inferior to the Suzhou Mansion, and the red wall that is not luxurious but extremely solemn, Qi Zhen can't help but sigh in his heart The respect of the people of Wuhu for the city god.

And Qi Zhen's heart also became more and more puzzled, why did this city god act like this when the people were so pious and the incense was so prosperous.

Absorbing the powerful ghost power on Lin Xi's body, apart from increasing his strength, what else was the reason why he had to do this?

The sky is not yet bright, and it is not the auspicious day of the zodiac on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so there is no one in front of the City God Temple.

Qi Zhen walked to the temple gate and patted it vigorously.

Bang bang bang!

The red temple door made a heavy noise, and it is believed that as long as the people in the temple are not deaf, they can hear someone visiting at the first time.

After a while, with a creak, the temple door slowly opened a crack, revealing the face of a young man.

The man obviously hadn't woken up yet, looked at the four men and women in front of him, and said impatiently: "The temple has been closed for the past few days, pilgrims, please come back another day." ”

Qi Zhen took out a full ingot of silver from his bosom and shook it in front of the man's eyes.

"We are from a foreign country, and we have great respect for Lord Chenghuang, but we are leaving today, please be accommodating, we will leave after the worship."

The man's eyes lit up when he saw the silver in Qi Zhen's hand, and the sleepy-eyed appearance disappeared in an instant.

He took the silver, put it on the back molars and bit it hard, and a neat row of tooth marks appeared on the silver.

The man was obviously extremely satisfied with the quality of the ingot, and said to Qi Zhen and the others, "Then you guys hurry up." ”

The main door was still not wide open, but a gap was opened for one person to enter sideways, and after Qi Zhen and the four of them entered in turn, the man looked left and right, and quickly closed the door.

Qi Zhen turned to the man and asked, "I don't know if you are ......"

The man quickened his pace and walked ahead to show them the way, and said, "I am the temple blessing of this City God Temple. ”

Qi Zhen suddenly said that the temple is the person who manages the incense and tribute in the temple, and from another point of view, it can also be called the spokesperson of a temple god in the world.

"Disrespectful, disrespectful." Qi Zhen said.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Miao Zhu led Qi Zhen and the four to the main hall, and each of them distributed three pillars of incense.

"Wuhu's Chenghuang Lord is a famous true immortal within a radius of thousands of miles, how many marriages, heirs, wealth, peace of the dignitaries and dignitaries have worked tirelessly to rush here to worship, extremely effective. Not only that, the city god lord from the imperial court to seal this place, to ensure that Wuhu is a place of wind and rain, grain harvest, naturally is immeasurable merit, you worship the city god lord, you must be sincere, must not be a little disrespectful. ”

This set of words Miao Zhu is obviously ripe for what he has already said, so it sounds a little perfunctory to Qi Zhen and the others.

"This City God Lord was canonized by the imperial court?" Qi Zhen asked suspiciously.

Miao Zhu didn't know if the people in front of him really didn't know, or if he asked knowingly, with a look of impatience on his face.

"Of course, it is canonized by the imperial court, and the city gods of the territory are all hand-picked by His Majesty, and then burn the watch to the sky, shape the golden body, and repair the temple are all distributed by the imperial court to distribute silver taels, which are under the control of the Qin Heavenly Prison, if the people make unauthorized claims to donate to build temples, it will be designated as an obscene shrine by the imperial court, and once discovered, it is a felony."

Qi Zhen nodded, looking at the huge statue in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

The statue of the city god in front of him was extremely tall and mighty, even if he sat cross-legged on the desk, it was two heads taller than ordinary people, but it was completely different from the figure of the man in Tsing Yi that Jiuzi saw.

Chenghuang Ye's face was white and beardless, the expression on his face was not angry and arrogant, he wore a purple and gold crown on his head, he was wearing a soap robe, and his outfit looked extremely neat.

The most obvious is a large knife placed on the leg, which is obviously not a sculpture, but rather a real thing.

I don't know who this sculpture came from, but it can be so vivid, so that the four people are amazed.

Miao Zhu saw the four people staring blankly at the statue of the city god, thinking that they were shocked by the handsome appearance of the city god, so he did not blame them for looking at the immortal disrespect.

"Could you please explain to us the life and deeds of Lord Chenghuang?" Qi Zhen looked at Miao Zhu and humbly asked for advice.

"Listen up." Miaozhu cleared his throat.

"Chenghuang was a general of the imperial court before his death, and was ordered by the imperial court to defend the border to resist the seedlings invading our country's land, and once led a battalion of men and horses to deal with the Miao people in the mountains for several months, one had no food and grass supply, two had no camp residence, and three poisonous snakes disturbed people, and still the arrogance of the Miao bandits was completely gone, and after a few months, when he went out of the mountain, the soldiers led by him did not survive one out of ten, and the general himself was also poison gas into the body, and time was running out. The general himself ordered the secret not to mourn, but it was to deter the Miao people from not daring to commit the border for three years, the first emperor praised his bravery, and specially pursued the general Xuanwei, and praised Wuwei.

In the following year, the Yangtze River flooded, the people of Wuhu were displaced, and the emperor ordered the general Xuanwei to shape the golden body, repair the temple, seal the Wuhu city god, and suppress the natural disaster. The temple was built, the first emperor burned the table to the sky, at this time the natural vision, a golden light went straight into the Yangtze River, the flood was gone, the first emperor Longyan Dayue, there are poems to praise and say: loyal ministers and good generals are not idle, the thieves and floods are all on the shoulder, thousands of mountains can not be stopped, the Yangtze River is still in front! ”

After Miao Zhu finished speaking, his face was indescribably proud and proud.

Qi Zhen didn't think how great this Xuanwei general was, but he felt that the level of poetry of this former emperor was really a bit unbearable.

Either he deliberately added countless legends to this city god out of nothing, or he exaggerated it with false rumors.

At least from Qi Zhen's point of view, if according to what Xiao Ao and everyone said, this so-called legendary story is just to deceive the ignorant people.

Qi Zhen didn't believe it at all.

Or rather, not all faith.

Whether it is influenced by the real world or the mentality after entering the game, it is destined that the four of them come here this time not like worship, but like visiting.

So it's inevitable that it's a little perfunctory.

It's even more perfunctory than the costly cliché that Miao Zhu told them.

What's more, they were originally here to ask the teacher for sin.

Meng Ran and Li Qiang naturally needless to say, they had their own beliefs in their previous lives and were staunch materialists, while Qi Zhen lacked the slightest expression of respect.

Only Jiang Yan was slightly respectful and incense-injected.

The temple on the side of the temple is indescribably awkward.

I have said so many heroic deeds of the city god, but I can't imagine that in the end, it is just to play the piano to the cow, if it is not for the sake of the silver, it is designated to be blasted out for these people.

There was nothing unusual here, at least Jiang Yan's magic perception ability and Qi Zhen's mental power probe did not detect anything unusual.

So the four of them prepared to leave.

Walking to the center of the courtyard, Qi Zhen turned around and asked Miao Zhu, "Do you know where the city god is?" ”

Miao Zhu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Qi Zhen shook her head, knowing that she was really blind, what can she ask ordinary people about this?

"We have something to ask Chenghuang, if you know where he is, please let us know." Qi Zhen still replied seriously.

"Lord Chenghuang, didn't you just see it inside?" Miao Zhu said lightly.

"It's not the sculpture clay tire, I'm talking about the real city god, it's the ghost." Qi Zhen said.

Before Qi Zhen's words fell, an evil wind suddenly blew in the courtyard, and the surrounding walls and doors seemed to be coated with a thin film, separating the courtyard from the outside world into two worlds.

At this time, Miaozhu had already changed his face, and his expression was extremely solemn: "Who are you?" ”

Perceiving the changes in the surrounding environment, Qi Zhen looked into Miao Zhu's eyes and said, "What? Is this not to let us go? ”

Miao Zhu said softly: "It depends on whether your answer can satisfy me." ”

The four of them looked at each other and knew they had finally found the right place.

"So, do you know where the city god is?" Qi Zhen asked.

"Know how? Don't know what? Miaozhu asked.

"If you know, please let me know, we have something to ask him." Qi Zhen said.

"Who the hell are you?" Miao Zhu still asked.

"What if you say it, but what if you don't say it?" Qi Zhen asked with a smile.

"If so, I might be able to let you go." Miao Zhu said.

"We know that Chenghuang is plotting a big thing, and it just so happens that our companion died because of it, so I want to ask him, are you afraid of being damned by God if you do this?"

Qi Zhen didn't hide it, she was here to find trouble, so she didn't have to be too polite.

"In that case, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave today." Miao Zhu shook his head and said.

As he finished saying this, a breath visible to the naked eye wafted out from all over the temple, and in a few breaths, it all merged into Miao Zhu's body, coating his skin with a layer of glazed luster.

At the same time, his aura instantly became stronger!
