The giant god died, and the aura of incense he condensed also dissipated, and the several arrow feathers inserted in the body of the snake demon Worm Seven also turned into the aura of incense and dispersed, without a trace.

Xu Ying checked the injury of the snake demon Worm Seven and frowned slightly.

Worm Qi's injuries were very serious, he suffered internal injuries last night, plus the arrow wounds and sword wounds he suffered in the battle with the giant gods just now, if he is not treated, he is afraid that his life will not be long.

"I probably can't."

Worm Seven looked very open, and said, "After I die, you dry my wax, and you can be exempted from taxes for one year." Ah, I forgot, if you go to the yamen to pay taxes, you will be caught in the net! Hahahacoughcoughcough! ”

He coughed violently.

Xu Ying smiled: "You can't die." Have you forgotten? I am a snake catcher, I can catch snakes, and I can heal snakes. In front of it is Huangtianpu Town, I went there to grab some medicine, put my medicine on it, and keep you alive. ”

Worm Qi was short of energy, and his spirit was relieved, and he said: "When you go to Huangtianpu Town, won't it be delivered to your door?" The gods of Huangtianpu Town are only afraid that they are not inferior to the giant gods just now. You're not much better off than I am right now, and you're no match for Him. I'm a snake, you're a snake catcher, we're enemies, if you leave me and leave immediately, I won't blame you. ”

Xu Ying shook his head and said, "There are no gods in Huangtianpu Town. I came here some time ago, and the gods of Huangtianpu are said to have been promoted and transferred, and the city god has not yet arranged for a new god to come. However, you're right, I should have left you behind. ”

He left the snake demon behind and walked to the village.

Worm Qi panicked, and hurriedly said: "I still have to be saved, don't leave me!" Why don't you save it! ”

Xu Ying didn't have a good breath and said: "Can I still take you into the town to grab medicine to heal your injuries?" I'm hungry, eat something first, and don't move. ”

Worm Seven is relieved.

Xu Ying came to the place where the giant god had just eaten, only to see that the villagers were so frightened that they hid, and only a teenage girl was still sitting on the ground, holding an unfinished chicken leg in her hand, looking at him blankly.

Xu Ying looked at the table, there was still half a chicken that he hadn't eaten, so he took out a piece of broken silver from his bosom and put it on the table, saying, "This is the food money I gave for the big god." ”

He gobbled it up and quickly ate half of the chicken.

When the girl saw that he was really hungry, she handed him the chicken leg that she had not finished gnawing.

Xu Ying wanted to take it and take a few bites, but he still held back, took out a piece of broken silver and gave it to her, and said, "Girl, help me take care of my brother, bring him a basin of water to drink, don't let him die." Also, don't get too close, he's poisonous. ”

The girl nodded, licking the shredded meat from the chicken bones like a cat.

Xu Ying strode out of the village, but after a long time, he came to Huangtianpu Town.

This town is full of lights and lively, and people on the streets carry roasted suckling pigs, chickens and ducks, lead calves, carry sedan chairs, and blow the horn suona dripping dripping and rushing forward.

Xu Ying blended into the crowd, watched along the street, looked for a pharmacy, and said in his heart: "It's so lively, could it be that a member of a family is marrying a wife?" ”

A drum corps marches to beat a big drum, and behind the drum corps is a tall float, and the oxen open the way, and the oxen are draped in red and hung with colors. And on the float is a lotus-shaped shrine with a stone statue of the god on the shrine.

The idol had six arms, and bronze streamers were wrapped around the arms and palms that were wrapped around the front of the body. The statue has two faces, the front and back, and the carving is fine and lifelike.

Around the shrine, there are two incense burners in front and back, lit arm-thick incense candles, the fragrance is curling, and the statue of the god is smoked.

"The gods of Huang Tianpu have been transferred, is this an invitation to a new god?" Xu Yingxin said.

The people of Huangtianpu Town also set up a flowing water banquet on the street, the fragrance was fragrant, Xu Ying squeezed forward, grabbed some meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and filled his stomach first.

Strange to say, since Jianshan met the big bell, he always felt hungry, always couldn't eat, and lost both qi and blood.

He followed the float forward for half a mile, and finally saw the pharmacy in Huangtianpu Town.

The shopkeeper and the guy of the pharmacy were also watching the float at the door, and there was no one else in the store except Xu Ying.

Xu Ying glanced at it, called a guy, and said, "Grab me some herbs." ”

The guy looked out and said casually, "Do you want the doctor to prescribe it?" ”

Xu Ying shook his head and said, "No." I said the name of the medicine, you come to grab the medicine, be fast! "Anyway, drain the last few taels of silver.

He originally planned to flee to other places and keep the money to marry his daughter-in-law, but now that Worm Seven is injured, he can't take care of much, so he will buy medicine first.

When the guy saw that Qian's eyes were open, he hurriedly said, "What kind of medicinal herbs does the guest officer want?" ”

Xu Ying reported the names of the medicines and catties one by one, and when the guy heard the names of the medicines and catties he reported, he couldn't help but be startled, and muttered in his heart: "Is this a healing elephant?" To get so many medicinal herbs? ”

In addition to himself, there is also the snake demon of Worm Seven, which is more than three feet long and weighs 800 catties, although it is not as good as an elephant, but it is not trivial, and it needs more medicinal materials.

As a family of snake catchers, he goes in and out of the mountains and forests every day, dealing with poisonous snakes, insects, ants, demons and monsters, so he naturally has to know some medical skills. Xu Ying has followed his grandfather and adoptive father for many years, and his medical skills are not weak, and he can treat injuries without a problem.

It's just that Xu Ying needs a lot of medicinal materials, and the guy won't be able to catch them for a while, so Xu Ying simply left the pharmacy, followed the float, and said in his heart: "Let's see how to seal the gods." ”

He has seen the gods in the village, it is very simple, after the death of a moral elder, set up an ancestral hall, make a statue of mud or wood, put the spiritual seat in front of the statue, and worship it every day, and over time the statue has a miracle.

However, the gods in the towns are different from the countryside, and the gods in the towns are all prepared by the underworld, and they must be canonized by the underworld. During the period of Emperor Ming Xiao, there was also the canonization of the emperor, which was very solemn and solemn.

This kind of god, Xu Ying has never seen it, and he can't help but be curious.

The crowd gathered around the float to a temple in the town, which had long been crowded with people and could not be squeezed in. Xu Ying stopped outside the temple and looked around, only to see that all kinds of sacrifices and sacrifices were continuously sent to the temple, and many strong men invited the statues down and moved them to the shrines in the temple.

In the midst of the fragrance, a dwarf land god came out of the ground, unfolded a cyan painting list with a bang, shook his head, and read: "Fengtian carrier, Yin Court edict said: Huang Tianpu Town Yin God Huang Sanduo, was kind and charitable during his lifetime, accumulated good karma, accumulated good deeds, felt heaven and earth, and cried ghosts and gods." Today, Lingling City God's Xue Ling Mansion is ordered to enshrine Huang Sanduo as the god of Huangtianpu, enjoy the incense in the world, and accept the blessings of death! Chin this—"

The land god with five short statures suddenly closed the green list, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Lile is up——, dragon god walks the clouds, and the rain master spreads the rain!" Please Huang Yuan's outer spirit position! ”

As soon as the words fell, the drum music paused, and the horn suona blew even louder!

The sky was suddenly overcast, and Xu Ying looked up and saw that among the clouds, there were huge creatures flying, like dragons carved on the pillars in the temple.

Suddenly, it began to rain in the sky again, and a god could be seen standing in the clouds, controlling the rain, which was what the land god said.

The rain master and the dragon god are both officials in the underworld, and when they come to Huangtianpu Town to seal the gods, they go through the motions, and when they invite Huang Sanduo Huang Yuan's spiritual position, the rain stops, the clouds disperse, and the rain master and the dragon god disappear.

In the temple, the ceremony of sealing the gods continues.

Xu Ying inquired about the crowd on the side and asked, "Outside of this Huang member, could it be a person with great virtue?" After his death, he was directly named the god of the town, and his status was very high, so he must have done a lot of good deeds during his lifetime, right? ”

People sneered, and someone spat two mouthfuls of thick phlegm on the ground in front of Xu Ying, and twisted it with his foot.

Xu Ying was puzzled and asked in detail, but the townspeople in Huangtianpu Town were silent and did not dare to speak.

At this time, an old voice smiled and said: "Little brother doesn't know, this Huang Sanduo Huang Yuanwai is a well-known good man in Lingling County, known as a lot of good land, a lot of treasures, and a lot of beautiful concubines." The great good people did not do many good deeds before their lives, and the great good people were filial to the city god, and they stuffed a lot of money into the city god temple during the New Year's holidays. For the people of the town, it can also be said that there are many good deeds. Great benevolent people opened brothels, and let girls go to the brothel to work, so that they could make money. He annexed the land and let the townspeople sell all the good land and work for him, so that he could pay for them. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people around them suddenly dispersed with an uproar, and they stayed away from them, and they couldn't avoid it.

Xu Ying saw that the person who spoke was an old man with gray hair and beard, wearing a purple and black satin robe, with his hands behind his back, and a small black rope tied to his chin.

"Huang Yuan has done a lot of evil outside, why can he still be a god?" Xu Ying was puzzled and asked.

The spiritual old man smiled and said, "He bought the City God, and the City God Xue Ling Mansion used his money to open up the Netherworld for him, and bought him a priesthood after his death, isn't it easy?" ”

Xu Ying lost his voice and said, "The Netherworld is so corrupt? ”

The spiritual old man smiled: "The underworld is not corrupt, can the common people be bullied like this?" He was humiliated in life, and he will be humiliated after death. ”

When these words were spoken, the people around them were terrified and inexplicable, and they retreated again, away from Xu Ying and the old man.

At this moment, a loud voice came, sneering: "Huang Yuanwai bribed Chenghuang, although it is true, but how good can the government be?" Didn't the government get the benefits of Huang Yuanwai? ”

Xu Ying followed the sound and saw the crowd parting on both sides, and a giant with two ordinary people walking towards him. The giant stepped on the black gilt unicorn swallowing boots, wore a red dragon python robe, wore a black and red black gauze hat, his face was thin and slender, his big sleeves were fluttering, and his posture was extraordinary!

Wherever the god passed, the crowd seemed to be moved by an invisible hand, and it automatically parted to both sides.

Xu Ying's heart jumped, and he secretly said badly: "City God Statue!" ”

That giant is the Lingling City God, named Xue Lingfu, who has been in the city god for five hundred years, and has been reigning since the time of the Great Sage Mingxiao Emperor, enjoying the incense sacrifice!

Chenghuang Xue Lingfu walked in front of Xu Ying and the spiritual old man, and sneered: "Before Huang Yuanwai was born, he didn't stuff silver into the official mansion. He forced Liang to become a prostitute, and when the brothel woman couldn't stand it and committed suicide, the government took his money and sentenced him not guilty. He annexed land, forcibly bought and sold, and the untouchables were forced to throw themselves into wells and jump into the river, which was also the government's butt for him. These things can be done by you officials, but can't I do them in the underworld? ”

"This old man is an official?"

Xu Ying's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly took a step back, staying away from the spiritual old man, and said in his heart, "Could it be that Chenghuang is talking about him?" Who is he? Just now, he was righteous and awe-inspiring, like a good person, but he was also in collusion with Chenghuang, and he was not a good person! ”

The spiritual old man laughed, facing the City God Xue Ling Mansion without any fear, he said leisurely with his hands behind his back: "What the City God said is true. It is true that the old man did not take less money and treasures from the filial piety of the yellow staff. In life, of course, we should enjoy it as much as possible. If the top is not clean, how can those of us who are officials below be clean? ”

Seeing him admit it, Chenghuang Xue Lingfu was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "I thought that you living people would be brazen and refuse to admit it, but I didn't expect you to admit it." Those of you who are officials, you have a lot of tempered skin, and you are even thicker than I thought. ”

The spiritual old man Zhou Hanghun didn't care about his ridicule, and said with a smile: "My son is the county commander of Lingling City, why don't I dare to admit what he did?" Is it the emperor who can manage my Zhou family, or can the Yin Court manage my Zhou family? ”

Xu Ying took a step back and said in his heart: "This old man is the father of Zhou Yang, the county commander!" It's over......"

If it was Ding Quan, Wei Chu and other ordinary masters, he could still handle it, but if he was a master of the Zhou family, he wouldn't be able to deal with it, not to mention that Zhou Yihang was still the old father of Zhou Yang, the county commander, and his strength was even more unfathomable!

Chenghuang Xue Lingfu heard Zhou Hang's face change suddenly when he heard Zhou Hang mention the Zhou family. Now that the imperial power is falling, the Zhou family is indeed a behemoth that the imperial power can't control!

"The criminal promised to kill Jiang Yuanwai, violated the royal law, and I will take it away." Zhou Zhou Hang looked determined and smiled.

Xu Ying's body suddenly sank, only to feel that his limbs were tightly bound by an invisible force, and he couldn't move, but he was locked by the breath of the old man Zhou Yihang!

Under the pressure of his breath, Xu Ying only felt that his qi and blood were stagnant, and he couldn't function at all, let alone break the breath lock!

Chenghuang Xue Lingfu laughed, his voice was like thunder, and he said leisurely: "The imperial power is falling, the family is gaining power, and the feudal town is divided, but the divine power of my Yin Court is not falling!" The Zhou family has no restraints in the yang world, and it is inevitably domineering to act, but in front of the Yin Court, even if your Zhou family ancestor comes, you must be polite and give three points! Xu Ying violated the rules of heaven and deserved to be taken to the underworld for trial! ”

Xu Ying's body sank suddenly, and another extremely powerful aura locked him, it was the breath of the City God's Xue Ling Mansion!

Xue Lingfu and Zhou Zhou Hang, one is a city god who has been a god for five hundred years, and the other is an unfathomable master of the Zhou family, any one of them is far better than promise!

With just a wisp of breath, they were enough to lock the promise firmly and make it immobilize!

"Two old men, they are not very strong, but they are very arrogant." In Xu Ying's mind, the mysterious voice suddenly came.

Xu Ying was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said: "Senior, can you kill these two old men?" ”

"Can't!"

Da Zhong simply rejected him, saying, "I am seriously injured now, and I can't protect myself, so I can't deal with them." ”

Chenghuang Xue Lingfu and Zhou Zhou Hang naturally couldn't hear Da Zhong's words, but when they heard the words "two old bangzi" burst out of Xu Ying's mouth, they immediately turned their heads together, and their eyes fell on him with a fierce gaze.

Xu Ying snorted, blinked innocently, and whispered: "Two masters, the old man I am talking about, not your ......"
