Chapter 107: City God Temple (II)
The building of this courtyard looks like a building in the north, the gouliang painting building is very prosperous, although there is no red pillar and golden roof, but there is quite a bit of the taste of Shanxi soil and wealth.
There is a smile in the courtyard of the flower bed, this flower bed is full of red flowers, next to the flower bed is a small pond, the pond water is very turbid, like the sewage treatment plant discharge into the wastewater. But there was no pungent smell in the water, and I didn't know if there were any fish in the water.
Other than that, there were no other living creatures in the compound, and there was nothing to see, so I stood at the door and waited. After a while, the two doors in front of me were suddenly opened, and then I saw a white-haired old man in a yellow robe appear in the doorway.
The old man was full of sadness at this time, holding a letter in his hand, looked at me with a surprised face, and asked, "You...... Who are you? ”
Thinking that this old man should be the city god, so I hurriedly surrendered my hand and replied respectfully, "Back to the city god, I am the new shopkeeper of the God of Wealth Inn, Cui Qi." ”
"Cui Qi? The God of Wealth Inn has changed people again? ”
I nodded slightly.
"Hey, your inn is really noisy, and you have to change people every three or five times. By the way, what are you looking for me? ”
"I ......"
Before I could say this, the city god frowned slightly, and said, "You are not yet old, although you are the shopkeeper of the God of Wealth Inn, but that position can be regarded as a yang position." ”
I sighed softly and said in a low voice, "I can't hide anything from Lord Chenghuang's eyes, when I went out to hunt ghosts, I was injured unintentionally...... I have no choice but to come to you for help. ”
The city god nodded thoughtfully, he raised his left hand and pinched his fingers, and said for a while, "Well, you still have the possibility of going back." ”
Hearing what the City God said, I quickly bowed my hand and said, "Thank you, City God." ”
And the old man waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about thanking me first, although I have a way to help you rejuvenate your soul, but before you can help you, you have to do one thing for me first." ”
"Whatever you do, you can do whatever you want."
"You have four days left, and those four days are enough for you to go back and forth. Come on, come with me first. ”
As he spoke, Lord Chenghuang beckoned to me. I followed Cheng Huang into the house, and I was confronted by a large bookcase. This book case is quite magnificent, the red pillar gold paint, and the emperor's dragon book case is also more than it.
It's just that there is no coiled dragon on the bookcase of this city god, but a few little ghosts lying on his stomach with teeth and claws. Cheng Hong Ye sat on a chair in the kitchen behind the bookcase, put the letter in his hand on the bookcase, and the letter opened by itself, and then a blank piece of paper floated out of it.
There were a few lines of words written horizontally and vertically on the white paper, and after the white paper fell, the city god picked up the pen again and added a few more lines to the paper. After writing it, Lord Chenghuang put the letter away and said to me, "Give this letter to Vice General Zhang who died in vain." ”
"Dead City? You're leaving me alone? ”
Lord Chenghuang waved his hand, and then picked up a huge ghost seal from the bookcase and printed it. He handed me the envelope, and when I took it, I saw that the envelope was printed with four big characters: "Beicheng God's Seal".
"Diagonally opposite this City God's Mansion is Yin Si Street, you can see Shuofang City when you walk through Yin Si Street, if someone stops you outside the city, you can show him this letter, and then he will take you there."
I nodded slightly and asked in a low voice, "Then the city god ...... I'm ......."
"Don't worry, I have already written it in the letter, and he will be properly placed in the place."
Since he let go, then I was relieved, and after walking out of the City God's Mansion with the letter, I turned directly to Yin Si Street. Coincidentally, I just turned to Yin Si Street and happened to meet Xiao Wang riding a big yellow chicken, and Xiao Wang came up to greet me with a warm face.
"Why are you here?"
I waved my hand and said with a smile, "It's hard to say, you're delivering takeaways?" ”
"Isn't it, I met my old club and met a lot of acquaintances...... Hahahaha. ”
I nodded slightly and smiled, "Then do you know where Shuofang City is?" ”
"Shuofang City? That's the extended city of the underworld, why are you asking about it? ”
I waved my hand and said, "There's something urgent to go." ”
"That's just what I'll take you there with."
"No need, you'd better get busy with your first."
"It's okay, it's okay, I just don't have a list in my hand, and that Shuofang City is very far away from here, and you can't walk on your two legs to the Year of the Monkey."
With that, he rolled over and jumped on top of the rooster, and then I took his arm and sat on the rooster's buttocks. If you want to say that this yellow chicken is really big enough, an adult of my age can't spread his legs when he sits on it.
After stepping on the yellow chicken, Xiao Wang gently patted the yellow chicken's neck with his hand, and the yellow chicken suddenly seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, turned around and ran back frantically. To be honest, it's the first time I've felt that this yellow chicken can run so fast, so it's no wonder that some people are afraid of it.
The surrounding street scene almost turned into a black shadow in front of my eyes at this time, and I don't know how long I walked, but I suddenly heard the voice of an old man in my ears.
"Get me down."
The old man's voice sounded familiar to me, but I couldn't remember who he was, and the speed of the yellow chicken was so fast, the voice was also fleeting.
When the yellow chicken stopped, because my chest had been tightly pressed against Xiao Wang's back, I felt a faint pain in my front sternum. After I jumped off the yellow chicken, I felt a little shocked when I saw the huge city in front of me.
The height of this city has exceeded the scope of ordinary people's understanding, and even the city gate is nearly twenty meters high. The two black-painted city gates were closed, and there were two ghost heads with teeth and claws hanging on the city gates. And the two ghost heads seemed to be alive, and their eyelids kept blinking up and down.
When I looked up, I saw that on the gate of the city was asserted and solemnly written three large characters: "Shuofang City". As for what the city wall looks like, I can't see it at all, but I can faintly see some outlines of the child and mother walls.
Xiao Wang saw me standing there in a daze, so he shook his hand in front of me and said, "Shock, you reacted like this when I first came here." ”
I turned my head to look at Xiao Wang and asked, "What about you...... Have you been in there? ”
Xiao Wang shook his head and said, "No, this Shuofang City is the outer city of the underworld, and entering Shuofang City means stepping into the underworld, except for the people who die in vain will enter and exit here, normal people are not qualified to walk here." ”
