The candles flickered, the flames jumped, and the burning candlesticks crackled.

Zhang Yu looked at the faint flame anxiously, like a firefly in the endless dark night, fluttering its wings hard, exuding insignificant light, Zhang Yu's heart was also like the jumping flame, up and down, for fear that in the next second, a gust of wind from nowhere would blow out the candlestick.

I can't help but be afraid, and the Chenghuang who hung up didn't say it clearly, only said that this was called a merit candle, and it was a sacred object in the underworld in ancient times.

But Zhang Yu got the information from the jade slip, but he knew that this incense candle is not simple, the wax oil is made of the tears of the ten generations of good people in the earth, the tears of the ten generations of evil, plus the body oil of the giant whale in the North Sea condensed, and the lead is condensed with the hair of 100,000 people who are about to die but not dead.

The merit candle is only like this, and it is only rare in the world, and what is even more strange is that this merit candle can only be lit by mortals once, and then it has the miraculous effect of connecting yin and yang and transmitting merit, but after the merit candle is lit, it is no different from ordinary mortal candles.

If by that time, Zhang Yu's soul has not yet cultivated into a yin god, this connection to yin and yang, and there is no way to talk about inheriting merits.

Therefore, Zhang Yu's eyes looking at the flame on the merit candle at this moment were no different from looking at the ancestors.

At least, before cultivating the Yin God and opening up his own divine mansion, this merit candle cannot be extinguished no matter what.

"Alas. Zhang Yu sighed weakly, and just wanted to sit back and review the information about Yin God cultivation in his mind, but the corner of his eyes swept to Chen Zhi who was stunned in the corner.

Ordinary anyone encountering such a thing would be difficult to accept for a while, if it weren't for fate, he was opened by the former Chenghuang to open the sexual spirit in the soul, and got the Yin God inheritance, and the current situation is only worse than Chen Zhi.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu shook his head helplessly, got up and walked to Chen Zhi's side and squatted down, patted Chen Zhi on the shoulder, tried to calm his tone, and comforted: "Brother Chen, don't think too much." ”

Chen Zhi turned his head mechanically, glanced at Zhang Yu, and after a while, he asked dryly, "Xiao Zhang, is everything that happened just now true?"

It seems that Chen Zhi remembers everything after being possessed by the city god, Zhang Yu thought that there was no need to hide it, so he nodded.

"That, that's the one just now, it's ......"

Chen Zhi said hesitantly, raising his fingers lightly as he spoke, and pointed to the statue on the main hall tremblingly.

Zhang Yu snorted and said, "That's right, he is the city god of the ancient underworld." ”

Although he had been prepared in his heart and had expected the result, after hearing this affirmative reply, Chen Zhi's body was inevitably still trembling, obviously not recovering from the shock just now.

Zhang Yu frowned, worried that Chen Zhi's state would affect the two of them in the future, so he thought about it, and persuaded in a way that was acceptable to the other party: "Brother Chen, Chenghuang is an immortal in the Netherworld, he is looking for you because you have accumulated virtue in your previous life, and you have some fate with him, otherwise you think, he is an immortal, if he doesn't have an old relationship with you, why do you have nothing to do and come to embarrass you as a mortal?"

After hearing this, Chen Zhi's eyes regained a little brilliance, and after a while, he snorted: "Also, he is an immortal, I am an ordinary mortal, there is no reason." ”

Seeing that it was effective, Zhang Yu continued to encourage: "Think about it, what did he say to you?

"Fingering?" Chen Zhi tilted his head, as if recalling the scene just now.

Zhang Yu looked at him urgently, eager to read something from his eyes, what Chenghuang said before leaving was not true, and what he said would be a big help in the future, at the moment, the answer was on Chen Zhi.

"That's right," Chen Zhi suddenly felt happy on the ground, sat up straight, grabbed Zhang Yu's hand, and said: "He said to preach my Taoism, and he wants me to be a successor and do the Tao for the heavens." ”

"Kui Chuan?"

A trace of confusion flashed in Zhang Yu's eyes, and he suddenly thought of something, and asked out loud, "Zhong Kui's heir?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's the heir of Zhong Kui. Chen Zhi nodded hurriedly.

Sure enough, Zhang Yu's face was full of realization, revealing a wry smile.

Zhong Kui is the ghost king of the underworld in ancient times, also known as the "blessed town house saint", the face is extremely ugly, can give birth to ghosts, walk the world with bat bells, seven-star dragon yuan sword, drive away the evil demons and monsters, is the city god everywhere, the leaning of the king of the house as a big help for the arm.

Unexpectedly, his Yin God has not yet been cultivated, and he is not even a ghost pawn at the lowest level of the underworld, but someone has already arranged a little brother for himself, looking at Chen Zhi who was suddenly full of red light, the corners of Zhang Yu's mouth showed a wry smile, and he couldn't help but sigh at the "care" of his predecessor!

"Forget it, Brother Chen, let's go. ”

Although he didn't know the specific time, Zhang Yu felt that it took too long for the two of them to go to the cave, and if they delayed any longer, I was afraid that someone else would come down to look for it, so that the secret of this place would not be kept anyway.

Zhang Yu is not afraid of being exposed, the secrets here will definitely not be hidden with the opening of the cave, one day in the future, the things here will appear in front of the public, rather than deliberately covering up, it is better to be generous and open.

It's just that how to make it public and how to face the society, Zhang Yu hasn't thought about it yet, at least until he cultivates into a Yin God and opens up the Divine Mansion, he won't take the initiative to leak here.

Chen Zhi was still a little worried, and asked hesitantly, "Let's just leave, don't you say anything to Lord Chenghuang?"

Seeing Chen Zhi so at a loss, Zhang Yu was really a little funny, when he encouraged himself to come down before, Chen Zhi was not so troubled by gains and losses, but now he was only possessed once by the Yuan Shen who was about to collapse from the previous City God, so he was a little suspicious.

Holding back a smile, Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Chen, Lord Chenghuang also gave me some mention, we are both about the same, and now we are both regarded as people entrusted by him, and now Lord Chenghuang doesn't need us, and he will naturally take the initiative to find him when something happens in the future." ”

Chen Zhi's face was originally back to normal, but when he heard Zhang Yu say that the city god would take the initiative to find him, he immediately turned a little whiter, and he had already stepped out of the hall to close his legs, and returned to the god case, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and muttered in his mouth: "Lord Chenghuang is not strange, the villain is obsessed with wealth for a while......"

Zhang Yu watched it funny in the back, thinking that when he became a Yin God and incarnated as a city god to meet you, he didn't know how you should worship me.

"Xiao Zhang, don't stand stupidly, offend the gods, and don't come to ask for guilt. ”

Chen Zhi chattered for a long time, and when he saw that Zhang Yu didn't react, he was suddenly a little annoyed, and said out loud.

Zhang Yu was helpless, but there was no reason to shirk it, so he had to kowtow together, and only after Chen Zhi finished saluting did the two leave the City God Hall together.

When he went out to the outside of the hall and passed by the gate again, Zhang Yu looked back, and he now knew the couplet on the lintel, and the upper and lower couplets were the two proverbs that Chenghuang read at the end: there is a reason for seeking the cause and the effect, if you want to understand, and explore the three treasures;

And the horizontal batch is hung on the door of the inner hall: good and evil are rewarded, and the way of heaven is circulating.

In addition to the retribution of good and evil, Zhang Yu barely understood, but the others were blackened, and he himself couldn't understand, why did Chenghuang hang two Buddhist proverbs at the door, was it to show off his knowledge?

"Xiao Zhang, I hurt you!"

Not long after leaving the City God Palace, when he walked to the place where the two of them had unloaded the cable before, Chen Zhi suddenly said in a gloomy tone and reproached himself.

"If I hadn't encouraged you, you wouldn't have made this trip and got involved in this. ”

Zhang Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, there is no such thing, I want to come willingly." ”

"Alas," Chen Zhi sighed heavily, took the initiative to wrap the toolbox around himself, and said, "If you want my help in the future, even if you open your mouth, I will never say anything." ”

Zhang Yugang wanted to comfort a few words, his eyes turned, and he suddenly changed his mouth and said: "Brother Chen, we are both people who Lord Chenghuang has a crush on, don't talk nonsense, there is something I really want to discuss with you right now." ”

"What's the matter?" Chen Zhi asked slightly stunned, a little puzzled.

"Of course it's the matter of this City God's Palace, we have been down for so long, the news can't be hidden, and sooner or later it will leak out, you see?"

At the mention of this, Chen Zhi suddenly came to his senses, his expression suddenly became a little nervous, and he asked, "What should I do then?"

"Let's find a reason to hide it from the workers, cover the news, delay it for a while, the company will find an excuse for me to deal with it, and there is really no way to wait for the future, let's go down first, see if we can discuss it with Lord Chenghuang first." ”

"Is this okay, in case Lord Chenghuang ......," Chen Zhi hesitated.

"Don't worry, leave it to me, I'll take care of it. ”

Zhang Yu smiled slightly, with a bamboo in his chest.

Infected by the other party's inexplicable self-confidence, coupled with the fear that leaking the news here would disturb the "City God" lord, Chen Zhi's face flashed with a look of struggle, gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
