Chapter 495: Finding Reinforcements
As the saying goes, one village and one land, one city and one city god, the county seat naturally has a city god temple, which is in the northwest corner of the old city.
The county has always been growing eastward because there is a highway to the east. The old town to the west, on the other hand, is almost as old as it was in the eighties and nineties, with narrow streets, dilapidated two-story buildings, and even bungalows.
Even on the road in front of the City God Temple, Li Yan's car couldn't drive in.
So Li Yan got out of the car and walked from afar, and when he walked in front of the City God Temple, he couldn't help but sigh, the old city is dilapidated and has the benefit of being dilapidated, at least the City God Temple here is still the same, and it looks like a centuries-old tile house.
The temple is not big, and the gate is quite spacious, but it must be locked at this timeβeven the temple is not open all night in the middle of the night.
Li Yan didn't plan to go in, but when he got to the door, he asked the person in charge of the Tenth Bureau, "Is there a back door here?" β
"No, right? Judging from the map, it should be another yard in the back......"
Li Yan pursed his lips, and said in his heart that he had asked the wrong person.
You must know that the Tenth Bureau is not like a police station, there is one in every neighborhood. The Ten Bureaus generally only set up a sub-bureau in the provincial capital, and at most two people will be sent to the city to be responsible for liaison.
This person in charge is actually a squad leader of the sub-bureau, and it is estimated that he is not as good as Tian Dali in terms of position, how can he know the layout of a local City God Temple?
"Chu Chu, you go around next door and take a look, does he have a back door here?" Li Yan turned his head to Chu Chu and said.
"Why me?" Chu Chu pouted.
"You have the ability here, of course you have to go out." Li Yan said with a smile.
"Well, that's almost ......" Before Chu Chu's words fell, the person had already jumped up, and in the blink of an eye, he had already run to the courtyard wall of the family next door, and in a flash, the person disappeared.
"Uh, this skill, flying eaves and walking on the wall?" The one in the tenth bureau said dumbfounded.
Everyone ignored him, because apart from him, whether it was Tian Dali, Liu Xiaoya and Gou Jiande, who came with him, they all knew Chu Chu's true identity. What is this ability to fly the eaves and walk the wall? Chu Daxian's ability is great!
In just half a minute, Chu Chu had already come back over the wall, and he didn't even alarm the nearby dogs.
"There's no back door, there's no way back." Chu Chu said.
"Okay, then I guess you can only enter through the main entrance." Li Yan said, "You guys go back to the car first, I'll go to the car to find you when I'm done." β
"Huh? Are you doing it alone? "The one in the tenth bureau is not at ease.
"Don't worry, it's okay." Tian Dali patted him vigorously and pulled him away.
"Be careful, it's not at home after all." Liu Xiaoya admonished, and also pulled Chu Chu away.
Li Yan fixed his mind, opened his eyes and looked at the City God Temple again, but he didn't see anything different on the gate - doesn't this City God Temple have a door god?
You must know that in the city, the door god at the back door of the City God Temple is an old friend, and every time he sees Li Yan, he doesn't need to greet him at all, he just shows up. Love Literature Network
Maybe this person doesn't know me?
Li Yan stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door twice, but the red lacquered wooden door still did not change at all.
Li Yan coughed lightly, and then said: "I am a wandering god in the province, and I have come to Guibao Land today to ask to see the local Chenghuang. β
After finishing speaking, he waited for a while, and Li Yan finally heard someone speak: "Lord Youshen, here, here......"
Li Yan blinked, turned his head to look at the sound, but saw that there was a small door next to the door, because there were not several steps in front of the small door like this gate, so he didn't notice it at first.
"Uh, here......" Li Yan hurriedly walked over.
"Tsk, Lord Youshen is very young, still a living person, this is rare, hehe......" The door god showed his face, but this small door was a tin door, and the image of the door god was very smooth, not like the wrinkled face in the city.
"Lord Door God is polite, hehe." Li Yan said with a dry laugh.
"You're here to see Lord Chenghuang? It just so happens that today is not too busy, and Lord Chenghuang should be free. The door god said, and the door opened, "After you enter, go straight to the City God Palace, and the City God Lord is inside." β
Li Yan said thank you and went straight into the small iron gate.
The scale of this City God Temple is obviously much smaller, only a courtyard when you enter, and you can see the City God Hall when you enter. In addition to the mountain gate, there are side halls on both sides of the City God Palace, as well as several ordinary tile houses that are much lower than the main hall, which should obviously be where the temple wishes live.
Li Yan walked straight to the main hall, but saw that the door of the main hall was open - in fact, he should have entered the realm of the underworld at this time, and it was impossible for the main hall to be open in the middle of the night.
Going up the steps in front of the main hall, Li Yan saw at a glance that there was a city god wearing a crown sitting in the middle of the hall, but the city god was dozing off at this moment.
"See Lord Chenghuang." Li Yan bowed when he entered the main hall.
"Huh? Who? Several ghosts in the hall who were also dozing off were also awakened and shouted one after another.
Lord Chenghuang was finally awakened, raised his eyes to look at Li Yan, and asked, "Who are you?" β
"I'm a wandering god in the province, I'm doing something here, and I want to ask Lord Chenghuang for help with something." Li Yan said.
"Oh, help......" As soon as Lord Chenghuang heard this, he immediately relaxed, stretched out his arm and yawned, and said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do for you, and then I'll see if I'm free......"
Li Yan was a little unhappy in his heart, what is this guy's attitude? It's clear that you just want to make things difficult for us!
But people have to bow their heads under the low eaves, there are so many evil spirits in the cave, and they can't finish eating by themselves, so they can only ask others to help take them in.
"That's right, I caught about a hundred evil spirits over there in the Dongshan Temple, and now I want to ask Lord Chenghuang to send some ghosts to collect them back." Li Yan said.
"What? More than a hundred evil spirits? But the city god jumped up from his chair at once, and shouted, "You said that you caught more than a hundred evil spirits at one time? How is this possible? β
"Well, that's the case......" Li Yan briefly explained the situation and said, "Now that more than a hundred evil spirits are still sealed in the cave, I want the adults to send more ghosts to come with me, and when one is released, I will use the soul rope to catch one, so that I can escort them all back......"
"Good, good, great!" Lord Chenghuang rubbed his hands excitedly, paced back and forth and thought for a while, and then commanded again: "Come on, hurry, gather all the ghost pawns to gather......"
