Chapter 141: Searching for God and Ghost City God's Temple
Nie Xiaoqian didn't know why Chenghuang sent plague ghosts to the temple to poison, and the poison failed, so he sent a yaksha to try to harm people's lives.
But no matter what the reason, there are hundreds of displaced people in the temple, and she can't do nothing and watch Chenghuang do whatever she wants.
Her feet were extremely fast, and she entered the county seat of Qiandeng County at noon.
Severely affected by the drought, the county town was depressed and cold, all industries withered, and there were homeless beggars everywhere.
Nie Xiaoqian had no distractions and walked straight in the direction of the City God Temple.
But when she came to the temple, she saw a group of beggars blocking the temple entrance.
The beggars, all carrying worn burlap sacks and bamboo sticks, were shouting excitedly towards the temple.
Nie Xiaoqian could fly, but they couldn't stop her way, but she didn't know what was going on, so she made up her mind to take a look first.
"God-worshipping?"
But in the group of beggars, someone saw a young and beautiful woman standing behind the crowd and couldn't move, and asked.
Nie Xiaoqian shook her head, because she really didn't come to worship God, but to settle accounts with "God".
"Girl, please go back, you can't worship today, and you may not be able to worship for a long time in the future." Someone replied.
"Is there something going on inside?" Nie Xiaoqian asked.
"His grandmother's, everyone in the City God Temple comes and goes freely, but in recent days, a bully has taken it over." Someone shouted indignantly.
"Is he planning to stay for a long time?"
"If this continues, won't we even have a temporary place to stay?"
"With such a big temple, how much land can he live in alone, he didn't let people in, and even the temple was driven away."
……
It turned out that with the increasing number of displaced people in the county, the City God Temple became a place for a group of beggars to settle down, but a bully came a few days ago. The entire temple was occupied, which aroused the anger of the people. Now once someone spreads their grievances, it immediately arouses public indignation, and you curse every word you say.
"It's the absence of Master Li that makes him run rampant there."
"Alas. Who made his martial arts higher than us. ”
……
In the midst of different opinions, there was a chaotic sound of ping-pong in the temple, followed by a few screams, and several men smashed through the doors and windows and flew out.
The beggars who were hugging at the door saw that their companions were injured and thrown out, and hurriedly rushed forward, helping or carrying them, and rescued them.
Someone looked through the broken doors and windows into the black hole in the temple, shook his head and sighed: "It seems that there is no hope." ”
Someone waved his hand in disappointment: "Unless the helmsman returns." Otherwise, what do you expect, scatter, scatter, and continue to fight, and cause casualties in vain. ”
The beggars said that they were about to withdraw, but a skinny middle-aged man suddenly squeezed out of the crowd and said to the beggar leader in the group: "You have not recently received a person from the rudder, I heard that you are very capable of fighting." Why don't you let him try? ”
The beggar leader frowned and replied, "You mean that kid from King Lin?" ”
The middle-aged man said: "Who is he who can smash a thousand-pound stone lion with one palm?" ”
The beggar head shook his head. With a wry smile: "King Lin's kid's martial arts seem to be very good, but he has twelve hours a day, but eleven and a half hours are sleeping, and no one can wake him up." ”
Someone thought of a way to wake up King Lin: "Brother Qi, King Lin is addicted to alcohol, as long as he smells wine." Naturally, he woke up. ”
It's just that although the method is good, after asking, I found that among the dozens of people, none of them had alcohol.
"Who's going to fetch a jug of wine and come back?"
"I only have a penny on me, and I can't buy a jug of wine."
"Whoever has the money, get together."
The beggars dug into their pockets. A total of thirty-two people, five hundred dollars were scraped together.
"With this money, you can't buy a few sips of wine."
In the year of the drought, the crops were not harvested, there was no food to eat, and where did the grain come from to make wine?
Naturally, the price of alcohol has soared, several times faster than the price of food.
"King Lin is a drunkard, just buy some and come back, as long as it smells of wine, go and come back quickly."
When the money was collected, a beggar hurried away with it.
The rest of the beggars did not leave, but gathered at the door, waiting for the arrival of the drunken and very capable King Lin to help them avenge their revenge.
"Hey, you say, who is in his coffin?"
"Wherever you go, you're either an old lady or an old wife."
"Hmph, it's best to have a family together and have a beautiful funeral."
"Be quiet, don't be heard by him, be careful that you can't eat and walk around."
"That coffin is very evil, and I can feel the biting coldness when I stand two feet away."
"Yes, as soon as you say it, I also remember, I suspect that even if he lets us settle in the temple, with his coffin, we won't be able to live, it's too cold."
When listening to the group of beggars talk about the coffin of the evil sect, Nie Xiaoqian remembered the man with the coffin she saw on the road when she came out of the Tiger Roaring Valley to collect wood qi.
"Could it be the same person?"
Tiger Roaring Valley is not far from Qiandeng County, and it is normal for the man with the coffin to come to the county seat.
Thinking like this, Nie Xiaoqian's feet floated and flashed into the crowd.
The beggars only felt a flower in front of them, and a figure flashed, and after seeing the real thing, the beautiful woman with an umbrella didn't know when she passed them and ran in front of them.
"Who's that?"
"Who?"
"Girl, it's dangerous inside, get out quickly."
……
Nie Xiaoqian turned a deaf ear, moved lightly, and entered the temple, seeing that a few of the beggars were very anxious with enthusiasm and a sense of justice.
"Brother Qi, what should I do?"
"At this time, it's not good for us to go in, let's take a look first, and it won't be embarrassing for a little woman to measure him as a big man. And did you notice, that girl didn't look like a normal woman. With this light body skill of changing shapes and shadows, I am afraid that none of the people present can compare. ”
"We looked away, and we thought it was an ordinary woman who came to worship God, but it turned out to be hidden."
……
The City God Temple is not big, and it is only one into three bays.
Nie Xiaoqian stepped into the courtyard of the temple and looked ahead, and the plaque in the main hall "Muhua Li Min" jumped into view.
There is a pair of columns on the left and right of the plaque, and there are couplets hanging from it: Welling is illustrious to protect the country, Anbang and support the community, and the holy way is wise to send nectar to save the people.
The temple door had been broken and fell to the ground, she put away the oil-paper umbrella and put it on the door, crossed the threshold, and arrived at the main hall.
Most of the things in the main hall have been emptied, and the benevolent statue of the god Chenghuang holds a jade wat and rises high above the altar.
On the left and right of the statue of the city god, there is another couplet: Be a good person, have a good heart, a healthy body, a stable soul, and a stable dream, and do some good deeds.
But at this moment, Chenghuang probably can't dream of peace and stability.
Because in front of the altar of the city god, a mouth is covered with ancient runes, dozens of swords are inserted upside down, and the coffin as black as lacquer is laid out there, gloomy, weird, and gloomy.
Next to the coffin, the man with frosty temples on his back was sitting on a futon, closing his eyes and recuperating.
Perhaps sensing Nie Xiaoqian's arrival, he slowly opened his eyes.
(The second one, though, cough, the third one doesn't seem to be able to get out.) (To be continued.) )
