Chapter 450: City God (Second Watch)

"What's going on?" Li Xiao asked.

"Childe doesn't know? This is an old guy who is not always sane, sloppy and mentally abnormal, and has been wandering in this area all the year round, and he has become accustomed to it. Wu San on the side looked puzzled, but he still answered truthfully.

Seeing this old beggar who was full of dirt and behaved like crazy, Li Xiao couldn't help frowning, he was actually on the other party's body, and felt a familiar and mysterious aura, but how could that kind of aura be encountered here, the identity of the other party was by no means a simple beggar, or was it that he was hallucinating?

Li Xiao shook his head, stopped his wandering thoughts, and walked straight along the two-zhang wide street with Wu San, and after turning a few alleys, he finally stopped in front of a city god temple.

The ruined temples, the broken roofs, the plaques with the cracks spreading, the crooked candlesticks offering incense, and even the statue of the god of the city god are neglected, covered with layers of spider silk, and the air is filled with a strong damp and musty smell, and even the glorious scene of the past seems to be gone forever.

If it weren't for the plaque at the door, there were three vaguely recognizable words "City God Temple", I'm afraid no one would have been able to recognize it.

"This City God's Temple is so defeated." Li Xiao was suddenly surprised.

You must know that this city god is the priest who guards a city, in charge of the living and the dead, rewarding the good and punishing the evil, life and death, blessings and misfortunes, and promoting happiness and interests, and the temple under it is more worthy of the civil and military judges, the judges, the black and white impermanence and so on.

Therefore, in ancient times, temples were built in many places, and more offerings were made to the city god, and a piece of incense was prosperous, but how could there be a completely different scene here?

But it seems that this Jinling county town has not been affected too much, the population is prosperous, commerce and trade are prosperous, and the people are peaceful and peaceful, perhaps it is the imperial qi entrenched in the ancient capital of the six dynasties that can suppress the potential evil spirit.

At this time, Wu San, who was following behind him, also showed a strange look on his face, and sighed: "It's really strange to say, this City God's Temple has always been populated, and the incense is continuous, but one day ten years ago, it suddenly became dilapidated and barren, and then the government also let people come to renovate it, but after a while, it changed back to the original state, this matter is very weird, and it makes people feel terrified, in the long run, in addition to some real believers, there are fewer and fewer people who come here to worship and pray for blessings." ”

Li Xiao's eyebrows raised slightly, and between thoughts, he had already released his spiritual power and spread around, but he didn't feel the breath of the gods on the statues of the Chenghuang gods and the generals.

"This place is so dilapidated, let's clean this place, so that the city god can have a place to live."

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Li Xiao still ordered Wu San to clean up this place, and at the same time, with a wave of his palms, he rolled up a gust of wind that swept away the spider silk and dust on the statue, and put on the new candlestick wax, and this place was finally no longer so dilapidated.

Li Xiao lit three incense sticks, prayed silently in his heart, and took a deep look at the glorious statue of the city god before turning around and leaving with Wu San.

……

……

After walking around several bustling streets in Jinling City, Li Xiao also knocked on the side and pulled out some information from Wu San, it can be said that he already has a general understanding of this direction, and he is ready to go home, and on the way back, his eyes can't help but light up.

I saw a scholar-like man walking towards him, Yin Tang was black, his face was stiff and purple, his feet were floating, and the whole person seemed to be hollowed out by wine.

I still remember yesterday, I took a painting boat with a group of rich young masters to play on the Qinhuai River, and this man was among them.

"Prince Wang." After Li Xiao groaned slightly, he also took the initiative to come forward and say hello to him.

"Hey, it turned out to be Li Gongzi, I didn't expect you to play here, what a coincidence." Wang Kong saw Li Xiao, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, although he was jealous of Li Xiao, but due to the gap in his father's official position, he squeezed out an unnatural smile on his face.

"Wang Gongzi's appearance of peach blossoms, could it be that there has been a glamorous encounter in the past few days~ Encounter, the golden house is Jiaojiao, right?" After looking at the other party's expression again, Li Xiao asked tentatively.

Wang Kong was stunned when he heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, he was obviously careful to hide things, how could he Li Xiao know, although he was surprised in his heart, but he denied it: "Li Gongzi is talking about it, and he has always done his duty, so how can he come to Yan~ Yuzhi?" ”

Li Xiao changed his words, nodded undeniably: "It's true that you didn't have a glamorous ~ encounter, but the ghost thing found you by itself." ”

"What do you mean by that?!" Wang Kong's face sank, his tone was not good, and he was even more slanderous in his heart: What an arrogant guy, why are you and Nie Xiaoqian a good couple, and if Chen Rong and I really love each other, we will become ghosts and come to the door.

Wang Kong thinks that although he and Chen Rong have no marriage, but on that day they have already had the joy of fish and water, Shen Rong is beautiful and full of style, so that Wang Kong is in his heart, and his soul is haunted, such a beautiful woman is as rare as a rarity in the entire Jinling City, and Chen is simply thrown out of a hundred streets compared to the wife of the chaff in the family, so in Wang Kong's heart, she has already been identified as his concubine.

Although he has been feeling sluggish these days, this must be caused by his weak physical fitness, and what does it have to do with Shen Rong.

And he made up his mind to go back and discuss with his father, no matter how much his father objected, he would marry Shen Rong and give her a name. But at this time, Li Xiao turned out to be so "slandering" his beloved woman, and he suddenly felt very angry in his heart.

Looking at the other party's angry look, Li Xiao shook his head and said with a smile: "You have a gloomy evil qi lingering on your body, Yintang is black, and yang qi is depleted, this is not what the hell is it." That's it, I'm just kind of persuasion, if you insist on not listening, then I can't do it, so I can do it myself. ”

Li Xiao was not bored either, and after waving his hand, he bypassed Wang Kong and continued to return along the road. Although Wu San was also surprised why the young master would have such words, he still fulfilled his due duty, pursed his lips, and echoed to Chong Wang Kong and said, "Yes, you can do it yourself." ”
