The ancient temple is lonely.

The cold wind blew, making the already dilapidated doors and windows crumbling, and a figure was faintly visible in them under the faint candlelight.

With a wail from the old crow, the figure bowed to the statue in front of him and said, "The one who came to collect incense today is a little prison messenger, and he is already on his way here. ”

"Reward the good and punish the evil, day and night parade are waiting outside."

"Did you personally greet you this time?"

The statue was still unheard, but the cold wind outside the window seemed to respond a little colder.

The figure is still bowed.

The voice lost the respect it had at the beginning.

"Now that your Dao seed has dissipated in our body, your body must have completely decayed."

He suddenly raised his head, but he couldn't see his face clearly, but if he looked closely, he could faintly see a hideous shadow behind him, and the shadow was between the virtual and the real, it seemed to be him, and it didn't seem to be him.

"You have occupied the position of the city god here for more than a hundred years, but you have not been able to break through the realm, and now you can only survive among this statue."

"This time the little prison messenger comes, we will tell you the truth."

There was a little more greed in his voice.

"This shouldn't be such a waste!"

At this point, his figure shifted between the virtual and the real for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace, leaving the decaying and dilapidated statue standing in the temple.

It wasn't until there was complete silence that a thought appeared in the statue's eyes.

"What the hell am I in?"

Li Xiuyuan's gaze swept around.

I tried to move, but I felt my limbs stiff, and when I looked closely, I realized that I had turned into a statue, and now I was in a ruined temple.

At this time, some fragments of unfamiliar memories gradually emerged in my mind.

There was a little more astonishment in his eyes, and it took him a long time to have a little understanding of the situation he was in.

"Chenghuang?"

He couldn't help but look around again, although his line of sight was narrow, he could also be sure that his current location was the statue of the city god in this temple, but now this statue was as decayed as this temple, and the gods had long since dissipated, so that he appeared here now.

He struggled to raise his hand, but it only made the statue loosen a little, so he had to give up.

Without thinking about it, he knew how bad the situation was now.

Not to mention that this person is not a ghost or a ghost, he is not as good as an old man who is about to die, how can he have half the appearance of a city god, and there is not much difference from death.

He could only calm down and fully accept the fragments of memories that did not belong to him.

"I see."

This place is called Taohua Town Taohualin City God Temple.

More than 100 years ago, when the temple was just built, the owner of this statue was appointed here to become the city god here, receiving incense offerings from mortals.

It's just that he should have taken this opportunity to improve his Taoism, but every fifteenth year when the people of Peach Blossom Town come here to worship the gods, the incense they get will be taken away by the superiors, so that for more than a hundred years, his Taoism has not risen but retreated, and in the end, it is even more difficult to even plant the Tao, and in the end he can only end up in a situation of death.

It's just that the incredible thing is that no matter whether it is a city god or an envoy, it is actually not a real god, but a demon.

The gods worshiped by mortals are demons, and mortals don't know about them, which is somewhat absurd.

Unfortunately, there are not many memories to be made, and it is impossible to determine whether this is the case only here or in this world.

Li Xiuyuan sighed.

However, although there were not many clues in these memory fragments, they also made him understand the meaning of the words he had said before.

"It seems that he wants to usurp the throne."

After thinking about it carefully, that person should be the judge here, second only to Chenghuang in status, and he was also a confidant of Chenghuang, but the Chenghuang in this place was weak, and he couldn't go out at will a year ago, so he gradually started to think.

I'm afraid that what I said just now was a temptation.

Seeing that he didn't react, when the so-called little prison messenger arrived, it was estimated that he would come to take the position of the city god.

"Incense can only be used as other people's wedding clothes, and this city god can't even protect himself, what's the use of coming?" Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but complain in his heart, he only felt that the judge was quite stupid, and he was rushing to ask for this hot potato?

Are these demons incarnated by gods without brains, or are there other secrets?

Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment, but couldn't figure it out.

"Forget it, I can't go anywhere else now."

As for the one who wants to usurp the throne, there is no need to worry too much.

Although this city god is not very capable, in this temple, whether it is a judge, the four envoys who reward the good and punish the evil, and the gods who travel day and night, these demons are all his Taoist species, and they are subject to him.

"Now that I'm here, they're supposed to be honest."

He was already bold, and he was not an ordinary mortal in his previous life, but now he is quite calm, and he can be regarded as accepting this fact.

I just can't figure it out, how did he cross over here?

He remembered that after reading Tao Yuanming's "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", he wanted to find the location of the Peach Blossom Source mentioned in the book, so he went to the Wuling Mountains alone, and later found a river in the mountains and walked down the river.

Inexplicably unconscious.

When I woke up, I was like this.

The sky collapsed to the beginning.

And there is no system, as for the cheat......

If this position of the City God is even a golden finger, then it will have to wait until he can get out of this statue before it can be effective.

Fortunately, fortunately, he found something familiar just now.

As soon as he thought about it, a bronze mirror appeared in front of the statue, the six sides of the bronze mirror were ancient, it seemed to be made of brass, the mirror was dull, and it looked very old.

But when floating, there are faint six-colored streamers flowing, which is obviously quite good.

This bronze mirror is called the wheel mirror, and it has the ability to divide seven emotions and six desires into a clone, which can allow him to differentiate thirteen doppelgangers at most, and before he came here, he often used this wheel mirror to divide his emotions, and even did some indescribable things.

And with the appearance of the bronze mirror, a figure appeared again before the statue, the figure was wearing an ancient official uniform, and after a closer look, the face was somewhat similar to the statue of the city god.

It's just that the face looks like it's angry, a little hideous and vicious.

If any children saw it, they would probably be so frightened that they would cry.

Looking at this figure, Li Xiuyuan in the statue was stunned for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but regret why he wanted to use the appearance of this city god as a reference.

The split doppelganger was thin, the skin on his face had long been shriveled, his body had obviously lost his flesh and blood vitality, the hair under the Chenghuang official's hat was even more pitiful, and it was even more obvious that there were no teeth left in his mouth.

How can there be the slightest majesty and treasure that a god should have, a living old man who is in his old age.

In this way, it is no wonder that the judge has the intention of usurping the throne.

Even he couldn't help but dislike it.

He looked at the bronze mirror and saw that the six-colored streamer on it had dissipated, and sighed slightly in his heart, so he had to temporarily accept the fact that he could no longer re-divide the clone.

Just looking at the doppelganger again, he was a little more puzzled in his heart.

"Why is it the angry clone of the seven emotions and six desires?"

"And the true identity of this city god is originally a demon, why is this doppelganger a human body, without a trace of demon appearance?"

Just as he was about to take a closer look, there was a sound outside the temple.

He had to give up for the time being, and the bronze mirror disappeared into the statue with a move of his thoughts, and the doppelganger slowly opened his eyes, and under the anger, the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, as if he was smiling but not laughing, it was more terrifying.

"It should be the little prison messenger who came?"

He manipulated the clone and looked out of the temple.
