Chapter 248: Goodbye
But seeing that the sky and the earth were gray, the clouds and mist suddenly dispersed to both sides, and a huge city appeared in front of them.
"What is this?"
Su Cheng's eyes froze, and he came to this place in an instant, but he didn't panic, and after checking the surrounding environment, he had a guess in his heart.
"Could this be the secret place? But who brought us here? Is it that Zhao Chenghuang or ......?"
This is the most important thing, Su Cheng looked at the three people around him and found that they were all right.
Although Ning Caichen looked a little flustered, he didn't say anything, just kept looking around, and quietly approached the three of Su Cheng.
Tian Daoren took a few steps forward, looked at the huge city, did not notice any problems, frowned and said:
"The city is very empty, and there is no danger coming, why don't we go in and have a look?"
Xin Shi Niang sniffed her little nose, and then her eyes lit up, and she said:
"Yes, that scholar's spirit is in it, and the sense here is much stronger than outside."
Su Cheng nodded, in fact, there was nothing to discuss, at this point, they could only move on, otherwise there would be no way to leave.
After entering the city, the four of Su Cheng came to the center of the city and saw a somewhat dilapidated county office, with stone tablets standing on the left and right sides outside.
The stele on the left reads "The three rooms of the Yang world, it is up to you to accumulate good and evil", and the stele on the right reads "Throughout the ages, who has been spared by the underworld".
Directly above the county office, it is written the three big characters of the City God Temple.
"It seems that this is where the real City God Temple is located."
Sioux City said as he strolled in with the other three, and when he stepped inside the gate, he felt a ripple ripple, and then regained his composure.
At this time, a courtyard appeared in front of the four of Su Cheng, and there were more than a dozen figures in the courtyard, and the middle-aged scholar Zhang Yi from before was among them.
"It's you...... How did you end up here?"
Seeing the arrival of the four people from Su City, the middle-aged scholar was a little surprised, and then a little vigilant.
After all, it is not normal to be able to reach this place at this time.
"Who are they? Is it your friend?"
At this moment, the figure on the side suddenly spoke, looking at the four of Su Cheng vigilantly.
Different from the scholars, this figure is tall, more than two feet tall, with a majestic physique, a red face and sideburns, and it looks like a demon.
"Do you want to kill them?"
Beside him, another figure spoke, his hair curled, his back hunched, his nostrils facing upward, and his short lips flipped open, revealing a mouthful of fangs and sharp teeth. It should also be demonized.
Fortunately, there is not much resentment on these two demons, otherwise Su Cheng and Tian Daoren are afraid that they will do it at the first time.
Except for the scholar and the two demons, the other figures were dressed in cyan official uniforms and scarves, and seemed to be low-level scribes in the City God Temple.
"The two generals, the weak scholar, are the ones I chose earlier to take the Chenghuang test, and the three people around him are all his friends, and let me go and see what happened?"
The scholar said to the two demons, and then quickly stepped forward, came to the four of Su Cheng, and asked what had happened.
Su Cheng talked about Zhao Chenghuang and Zen Master Huiran, and briefly mentioned the matter of the monk, it is best to say:
"The purpose of our trip is very clear, it is to help Zhao Chenghuang, but now we know too little about things, so we want to find Brother Tai to investigate, I never thought that I came here unexpectedly, so can Brother Tai tell us the current situation?"
At this moment, although they have learned a lot of things in Sioux City, there are still many mysteries that have not been solved.
For example, where Zhao Chenghuang is, some of the opponent's situation, and how to operate the test Chenghuang and so on.
"You ...... Being able to come here may not be an accident, but the meaning of Lord Chenghuang."
The scholar hesitated for a moment, then decided to say something
Thing.
First, he really needs the help of several people in Su Cheng, especially Ning Caichen, who is the top priority in the plan, if there is a gap at this time, it will be difficult to cooperate later.
In addition, the middle-aged scholar Zhang Yi is also a smart person who knows what to say and what not to say.
"I was actually a disciple of a peasant family, and I wanted to change my life by studying, but my talent was limited, not only did I not change the status quo, but even made my family more and more impoverished, and then my parents died one after another, and I also died of hunger and cold."
The scholar sighed, waved his hand at the two demons behind him, and then continued:
"I thought that this life would end like this, but I didn't want to meet Master Chenghuang after death...... You have also inquired, you should know the character of the City God, and I am willing to give everything to assist him when I meet such a merciful and willing to protect the people.
It's a pity that God didn't fulfill people's wishes, and just when everything was getting better and better, an accident happened.
Suddenly, one day, an existence who claimed to be the ghost king of the void belly came to take refuge in the city god master, he cultivated profoundly, talked well, and more importantly, was willing to obey the city god lord's orders.
At first, we also thought that something was wrong, but the Lord of the City God considered that it would be difficult for him to completely shelter the people under his command alone, so he brought the Void Belly Ghost King under his command, and so far it has also buried troubles."
Speaking of this, there was a look of resentment on the scholar's face, as well as a trace of remorse, and it was obvious that he couldn't let go of what happened for a long time.
The gentleman deceived him, which is also a helpless thing.
This Zhao Chenghuang loves the people under his command, which is naturally excellent, but on the contrary, it is easy to be taken advantage of by the opponent, and a game is set up against him, even if Zhao Chenghuang senses that something is wrong, he will still be tricked.
"Later, for a long time, the Void Belly Ghost King did not cause chaos, on the contrary, things were done very well, so that people couldn't find fault with it, and the City God Lord Qi also became more and more trusting, and it was at this time that those Western Regions monks came here and threatened to take away this secret realm.
It is naturally impossible for the City God Lord to agree, this secret realm has been integrated with the City God Lord, and it is also related to the life and death cycle of the people here, and it is impossible to hand it over to others.
Then those monks and the city god lord had a fight, relying on this secret realm, the city god lord also had some upper hand, but he didn't want to also at this time, the void belly ghost king made a sneak attack on the city god lord......
Although the scholar's words were not finished, the result was obvious, because of the backstabbing of the Void Belly Ghost King, the city god was directly defeated, and then there was the current situation.
"Then I don't know where the old man is? How can we help?"
Su Cheng glanced at the three people beside him, and then stepped forward to ask the key.
"The place where the master is located is a top secret, and I don't know about it, but if you want to rescue the master, the only way to save the master is to let Ning Xian become a city god for the time being, and then provide the master with incense and wish power, then everything can be solved."
Naturally, the scholar would not tell the whereabouts of the city god, but he gave a solution.
Incense wishing power?
Su Cheng's heart moved slightly, remembering the things about Xu Hongru and Pudu Cihang before, as well as the things that Xin Shi Niang said, merit luck, incense luck, and now the things in Chenghuang, which gave him a further understanding of some of the context of the Liaozhai world.
