Chapter 68: The Ceremony of the Gods (1)

Chinese New Year, morning.

"It's the Spring Festival, and I didn't spend the Spring Festival in Cangnan City this year." Rabbit Jiu pouted, a little dissatisfied, "It's been boring these days, except for killing some strange snakes and violent bears, there is no activity"

"It's nice to have a place to celebrate the festival, as a member of the Six Doors, isn't it normal to spend the festival outside? Last year, I spent the Spring Festival in a cave in the ground! Long Jiu said to Rabbit Jiu with a smile.

"The Spring Festival is not interesting, it's just a carnival for the weak." Situ Hao dusted off his body, looked at the dense crowd in the square, and thoughtfully said, "I wonder why I forced the people of the whole city to come to the square." ”

"It is said to be a ceremony for the gods." Rabbit Jiu looked around, his petite figure was inconspicuous in the crowd, and he said in an uncertain tone: "The guardian spirit of Rock City, also known as the City God, is also called the Rock God, and today is probably the Rock God replaced. ”

"You're well-informed." Situ Hao glanced at her, his brows furrowed:

"However, there is a law in the Great Yin Kingdom that stipulates that when the city lord dies, he can become a city god and protect one side until the current city lord dies and succeeds to the city god, and then he can go to the north of the capital to leave the city and take over the new position. The current city lord is alive and well, why is he suddenly a god? ”

"Huh? Is there any such claim? Rabbit Nine was puzzled.

Long Jiu explained: "The city god is in charge of the living and the dead, rewarding the good and punishing the evil, the blessing and misfortune of life and death, and the promotion of happiness and interests, etc.

Under the jurisdiction of the civil and military judges, the gods of each division, the general of cattle and horses, the god of day and night, the general of shackles and other gods.

The rock god is different from the great god of Cangnan, he is a small god, not enough to divide the subordinate officials, but as a city god, he is qualified to divide the ghosts and gods, that is, he can transform the dead soul into a ghost clan, and can shelter and nourish these ghosts.

These, in the eyes of ordinary people, are already rare supernatural powers. ”

He didn't say everything, but Rabbit Jiu understood what he meant, and said, "You mean, the current city lord can't wait to become a city god?" ”

"After all, the city lord of Yancheng is just a person, and he has no cultivation, unlike the city lord of Cangnan City, who has cultivated to a high level, and people who have not cultivated are naturally more obsessed with these." Long Jiu looked at Gao Taidao and said, "Look, there will be some moths that will come out soon." ”

Seeing that Long Jiu didn't say much, Rabbit Jiu stomped his feet, hugged his chest, and muttered to himself: "Does this person want to commit suicide?" Is it bad to be alive? ”

There were many people in the square, and even if there were many city guards to maintain order, they were still buzzing, and they were very dissatisfied with the city lord not letting him celebrate the festival, but forcibly escorting him to the square.

Soon, on the high platform, the city guards moved a high platform, on which was placed an incense burner, and in the incense burner was a huge sandalwood incense three feet long and half a person wide.

Then, the majestic-looking city lord Chen Guifu walked to the high platform, pressed down with both hands, and signaled everyone to be quiet.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Chen Guifu cleared his throat, his voice was loud, and the people in the entire square could hear his voice: "The country can't be without a king for a day, and the city can't be without an owner for a day, now, the city god of my rock city is dead, and a new city god is needed to succeed him, which is why I called someone to bring you here." ”

As soon as Chen Guifu finished speaking, there was an immediate shouting from the ground.

"Isn't the city god God? How is it possible to die? ”

"That's it! Lao Tzu doesn't care about Chenghuang, I just want to go home for the holidays! ”

The sounds were mixed together, and the more noisy they became, like a flash flood erupting, and like a thunderbolt bursting, the whole square was in an uproar.

At this time, a Taoist suddenly walked out next to Chen Guifu, he looked middle-aged, immortal wind and Dao bones, and at first glance he was a master of Taoism.

"Qingyuan Immortal Chief!"

The city guard next to Rabbit Jiu suddenly shouted, dumbfounded, and his mouth was open enough to stuff an egg in: "Isn't he already dead?" ”

Long Jiu and the others all looked moved.

"Dead bodies." Situ Hao saw through the essence of Qingyuan at a glance.

"It's not that simple, he has been sealed, he is half-spirit and half-ghost." Long Jiu smiled: "This little rock city is getting more and more interesting. ”

Qingyuan stepped forward slowly, pinching the trick in his hand, and a bell suddenly sounded in the sky above the square, like a big bell for the awakening world, ringing endlessly, suppressing everyone at once.

The clear source of the fairy wind bone brought a deep impression to everyone.

The word fairy was dangling back and forth in their minds.

Chen Guifu looked serious and continued to speak, only this time, no one ignored him anymore.

"I think you already know that the boundary of Rock City is full of weirdness, and even in the past few days, the number of weird is increasing, this is because we don't have a city god in rock city, if we want to continue to live, we must set up a new city god!"

Chen Guifu continued: "Generally speaking, the City God needs to be the death of the City Lord before it can become a spirit, but when such a thing happens in Rock City, I am duty-bound and willing to convert half of my Yang Shou and become a living City God!" ”

His expression was solemn, his eyes were focused, and he did look like he was thinking about the people.

"May the city lord be the new city god!"

"May the city lord be the new city god!"

In the crowd, there are voices from time to time, driving the rhythm.

Someone came out, and the people were ignorant, and they didn't know the situation at all, so they naturally followed the voice and shouted.

And most of the people who didn't shout also admitted this idea in their hearts.

After all, the dead friends are not dead and poor, in the eyes of the people, the city lord and the city god are too far away from their lives, and whether it is the city lord or the city god, as long as the weirdness is solved and they can live in peace, anyone can do the same.

The people's thinking is so simple.

As the people's cries became more and more intense, the three-foot-long incense burner spontaneously combusted without fire and burned from the top.

"How does this work?" Rabbit Nine turned around and asked the two.

Long Jiu frowned: "If you want to become a living city god, it's not enough to have an identity, you also have to get the consent of at least fifty percent of the living beings in the rock city realm, after all, the gods and spirits are already related to the wishes of all living beings." ”

"It's a conspiracy." Situ Hao suddenly said: "This Rock City Lord is very bold. ”

"Huh?" Rabbit Nine was puzzled.

"Living beings, including birds and beasts." The dragon will stop at nine o'clock.

"It's weird in Rock City, the creatures are either eaten by the weird or transformed into weird, it's winter, and other creatures can't be replenished in time, so as long as the people in the city agree, it's basically successful!" Rabbit Nine suddenly realized.

Several people watched with interest, but they were not very panicked.

Because Iwacheng is a small city, Iwaki City God's god personality is low, at most it is the realm of ghost generals, which is comparable to innate martial artists, which is not enough to threaten them.

Soon, the incense burns, and a faint fragrance wafts through the air, this fragrance is peculiar, and it will relax the spirit after smelling.

The fragrance wafted throughout the square, and most of the people's expressions quieted down, and even knelt down, looking at Chen Guifu with reverence on their faces.

Qing Yuan, who was a fairy wind bone, suddenly shouted: "The first step of the god sealing ceremony is to put on incense and candles." ”

Behind the high platform, Chen You looked at the masked woman in the team who was staring at him, and his eyes were sharp.

Zhang Chunhua immediately stood at the end of the line with his eyes distracted, this team was full of beautiful women, wearing plain clothes, smearing light powder, with masks on their faces, their movements were slow and numb, as if they had lost their minds.

Chen You looked at the direction of the mine, his face was sad: "After all, people are not as good as heaven, I didn't expect him to appear in advance, and he also has some ability, he actually took those two people out, and he hasn't come back until now."

Qing Yuan quietly disappeared behind the scenes, and a remnant soul soared from his body and burrowed into the body of the first beauty.

Soon, the first beauty of the team walked up the high platform, followed the stairs, jumped onto the incense candle, and her flesh was lit and burned, and a peculiar smell immediately wafted below, and the faces of the people turned red.

In the middle of the air that everyone couldn't see, Qingyuan's remnant soul escaped to the body below with a trace of incense, and then, a stream of blue and white steamed from the burned woman's body, surrounding the incense.

Above the incense, you can faintly hear the woman's painful moaning, such as crying and complaining, like resentment.

There are a total of seven beauties in the team, including Zhang Chunhua, all of whom are virgins, and they are all like ashes.

Qing Yuan's eyes were hot, he stepped forward again, cleared his throat, and shouted loudly: "The second step of the Great Ceremony of the Gods, make an oath." ”

Chen Guifu stepped forward, raised a finger, bit it, and as the blood flowed, he spoke: "I am a living city god, I will open a banquet for ten days and ten nights, and the city will celebrate, and all the people of my rock city can enjoy it for free, if not, I will fall into the world, and I will never be able to live forever." ”

As soon as these words came out, the square immediately boiled again.

"May the city lord be the new city god!"

"May the city lord be the new city god!"

Chen Guifu ignored the noise of the audience, and raised and bit his five fingers in turn: "I am a living city god, I must open a warehouse to help the difficulties, so that the people of Yancheng can survive the cold winter, otherwise, I will fall into the world, and I will never be able to live forever!"

I am a living city god, and I must be exempt from taxes for ten years, and hide my wealth from the people, so that all the people of Iwacheng can eat minced meat, if not, I will fall into the world, and I will never be able to live beyond life!

For the sake of the living city god, I must maintain stability, get rid of strangeness, and return my rock city to a bright and sunny day, and the people will no longer suffer from calamity, if not, I will fall into the world, and I will never be able to live beyond the heavens! ”

Three vows in a row, the voices below were higher and higher, and the faces of the people were full of fanaticism.

But this is not over, Chen Guifu slowly raised his last thumb, bit hard, blood surged: "I am a living city god, when I control life and death, all the people of Yancheng who believe in me, I will gather souls as ghosts, make them reborn, otherwise, I will fall into the world, and I will never be able to live forever!" ”

As soon as these words came out, not only were all the people in the square boiling, cheering, and their faces flushed with excitement, but even Long Jiu and the others were very surprised.

"The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, and the snake swallows the elephant, and wants to run before learning to walk." Situ Hao commented on Chen Guifu and seemed to be disdainful, but the worry in his eyes couldn't hide from Rabbit Jiu's eyes.

Long Jiu also sighed: "We underestimated Ghost Chen, this guy has never come forward, but what he is trying to do is a bit too big." ”

"What do you mean?" Rabbit Jiu looked at the two who spoke ambiguously, and hated it.
