Chapter 225: City God
Shanxue Shen Mountain.
Jiang Wang came to a lake.
There are houses on the lake.
It is said to be a house, more like a courtyard.
There is a bamboo and wood bridge from the shore to the lake.
Jiang Wang observed.
The lake is not a serious lake.
Because the waters of the lake are all divinity.
He has trodden all over the sacred mountain.
The place was originally empty.
It can be said that there is no trace of it, and there is no sense of divinity.
It was he who spent some means to push the sacred mountain with a large amount of divinity to make the lake appear.
If it weren't for so many divinities, it would be difficult to find this place if you wanted to change it to someone else.
Therefore, Jiang Wang felt that this place should be the residence of Shanxue Zhengshen, and it was also a trapped place.
He stepped onto the bamboo and wood bridge and walked towards the courtyard in the lake.
However, there is only a table and chair in the empty space in front of the hospital, but there seems to be an invisible wall blocking it, so that Jiang Wang cannot set foot on it.
He stood at the end of the bamboo bridge.
Look at the figure coming out of the courtyard.
Dressed in a white robe with gold threads.
Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome appearance.
Truly extraordinary.
Jiang Wang's eyes met his eyes.
The latter frowned and said, "Who are you and how did you get here?" ”
Jiang Wang remained silent and asked, "You don't know anything about the outside world?" ”
The other party said with a calm face: "This place is completely closed, and it can only be detected by extraordinary means, but there is no way to continue forever...... So how the hell did you get in and find out the information I left on the mountain wall? What's going on outside? ”
Jiang Wang raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "The disaster should have roughly subsided. ”
Since the other party mentioned the information on the wall of the sacred mountain, there is no doubt that Shanxue is the god, at least it is possible.
And it takes some means to find out some things in the outside world, and there is no way to know what is happening outside all the time, and it's normal if you don't recognize him.
Although it is true to be more cautious, he can see that the other party is also a Taoist at the level of the Discipline Divine Que, and it is not unperceivably powerful, and the ban on the courtyard on the lake is extraordinary, whether it is Shanxue Zhengshen or not, it is certain that he will not be able to come out.
"Has it largely subsided?"
"That's right, although there is a demon prison awakening, there are also many human masters in Shanxue, but I think it must have paid a big price."
When Jiang Wang heard this, he sensed some problems, and said tentatively: "Someone trapped you in the Divine Mountain, its strength is so strong, it can be seen that Shanxue is facing more disasters than the Demon Prison, you think that Shanxue Monk can be quelled by paying a few costs?" ”
Shanxue God asked, "You're from outside, right?" ”
Jiang Wang nodded, and then said: "But I'm alone, there has been a problem in the long river of years, and Shanxue has not been helped." ”
Shanxue God was a little surprised, and then said: "Listen to what you mean, things may not be so simple, but they are not unexpected, after all, no matter what, he will not do things absolutely nothing." ”
Jiang Wang frowned and said: "The awakening of the demon prison is because of the will of Mozhang, and it is normal for monsters to take advantage of this to live, but Shanxue demons are in different realms, except for the demon kings who can be counted such as Qingyu Jiuying, the old demons who were sealed in the Shanxue realm have all broken the seal, and they are artificial." ”
He looked at Shanxue Shen, who had changed color slightly, and continued: "According to preliminary estimates, Shanxue's casualties have reached one million. ”
Shanxue God's face gradually turned pale, and he said in disbelief: "Impossible! That's impossible! ”
Jiang Wang said in a deep voice: "Do you know the mastermind behind the scenes? Do you think he's a good guy? ”
The god of Shanxue staggered and sat on the wooden chair, and the lake divinity boiled.
Jiang looked around, very strange Shanxue Zhengshen's reaction.
"Who the hell is he?"
Shanxue God lowered his head and lamented, "It's an immortal. ”
Jiang Wang was shocked.
Then he looked suspicious.
Shanxue God had already said to himself: "To be precise, half an immortal. ”
Jiang Wang thought to himself, you are even more inaccurate.
Shanxue God rolled his eyes and asked, "Have you seen him?" ”
Jiang Wang said: "I almost killed him." ”
Shanxue seemed to have a trace of anger, because of Jiang Wang's disrespect, but he quickly said with relief: "Because he is an immortal, he is naturally different, but in fact, his power is limited, that is, he has momentum, and his strength is not proportional. ”
Jiang Wang frowned and said, "You'd better explain things in detail and easy to understand." ”
He didn't care whether the trace of anger in Shanxueshen's eyes meant something else, in short, he didn't trust Shanxue Zhengshen so much, after all, the previous Kutan Zhengshen had fallen, so there was no respect in his words.
Shanxue didn't react in any way, or rather, he could understand it.
Jiang Wang's disrespect for him and the immortals was in disbelief in Shanxueshen's eyes.
If the Shanxue Demon is very seriously ill and learns that the mastermind behind the scenes is an immortal, no one can accept it.
Skepticism is the first reaction.
I don't think that the immortals are hurting Shanxue, so naturally I don't believe in his identity as a god.
And where is the respect?
He really should have explained it.
"I know that everyone in the world wants to find immortals, but no one really sees immortals."
"Being able to be convinced of the existence of immortals with righteous gods is the closest thing to immortals in the world."
"But this immortal in Shanxue is different."
"Because everybody knows it, and everybody has seen it."
Jiang Wang just stared at him.
Shanxue God said, "You must have seen it. ”
He turned his eyes to look at Jiang Wang and said, "City God." ”
Jiang Wang looked startled.
Almost every town in the Great Sui has a city god temple outside it.
On the fifth day of the ninth lunar month, the City God Festival.
It is the largest temple fair in the Sui Kingdom.
Worship activities are held throughout the Sui Dynasty.
Because the battle of the Candle God is far away, except for Cao Chonglin who was lucky enough to witness the figure of an immortal, how can anyone in the world have ever seen an immortal?
But everyone in the world believes that there are immortals, especially for ordinary people, and the key lies in the city god.
Chenghuang is the only immortal who has a detailed record.
It was the protection of the city god that when the monster came to the world for the first time, the people were saved from disaster.
Although the Shing Hong Temple Fair is held nowadays, it is more because of custom.
But the immortals who are revered as the City God are indeed the most deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Even if the statue of the god may not be his original appearance, from another point of view, everyone has indeed seen the god god.
Unexpectedly, the immortal served by Shanxue Zhengshen was Chenghuang.
No matter from which point of view, it is difficult for Shanxue God not to shock Jiang Wang when he mentions these two words.
And Shanxue God looked at him and said: "I don't know how many immortals are alive in the world, but as far as I know, Chenghuang is the most powerful immortal in the world. ”
Jiang Wang was silent.
In fact, it is easy to understand when you think about it.
If there is incense to worship, it will be of great help to the immortals to restore their strength.
As for why the immortals are still hiding, Jiang Wang can only explain that there is more than one way to restore his strength, in other words, being enshrined also means being completely exposed.
Except, of course, the fierce gods.
It's a threat, but it's a threat.
It is understandable that the strength of some immortals is indeed very weak and they dare not gamble.
Moreover, if some immortals have mercy on sentient beings, the human monks will definitely prevent the monsters from killing the immortals, and the result will be a disaster, and many people will die.
Even if the Sui State has a clear worship of the righteous gods.
But the facts have proved that there are no more bitter sandalwood immortals, and there are no more bitter sandalwood gods.
Lang Huan Zhengshen should be a special case.
Shanxue Zhengshen is naturally a special case.
It's just two special cases, and there are different situations.
Even the enshrined immortals can hide their faces.
But righteousness is directly placed on the surface.
After all, Lang Huan is in the god capital, unless the Sui country is completely finished, it is difficult to threaten the god capital, and the monsters who have been quite high in Lang Huan's way before are all around the god capital, just looking for an opportunity to break through the god capital, and the purpose is to kill immortals.
Either multiple fierce gods gather, or they can sleep peacefully.
But a realm like bitter sandalwood is different.
At least the probability of succeeding in killing immortals has increased a lot, it is nothing more than how to plan, and you can always find opportunities, unlike Shendu, where there is no chance, or rather, you can only wait for opportunities, and there is no way to create opportunities.
If you want to say that all the immortals run to the divine capital, the incense will be dispersed, I'm afraid it's not as fast as other ways to restore strength, you can't drive Lang Huan Zhengshen and the immortals he serves out of the divine capital, and the dove occupies the magpie's nest, right?
The result is not the same.
Since they can't squeeze the Divine Capital, and there are risks in other realms, most immortals don't want to be worshipped, so it's normal to find another way to restore their strength.
You can say that immortals are cautious, or you can say that immortals are timid, but whose life is not fate?
When the power of the real immortal is not restored, it is a remnant, and there are not many immortals left, and if they don't play with themselves, the world will be completely hopeless, and Jiang Wang can't say that the immortals have no other considerations.
Perhaps the immortals had long known that Mozhang would recover.
They will use the best means to regain their strength as quickly as possible.
After all, not every immortal is a city god.
The City God Festival was established during the Gaozu period of the Sui Dynasty.
And the establishment of the City God Temple existed in the countries before the Battle of Mozhang.
It can be said that Chenghuang has been enjoying incense after the Battle of Candle God.
There are city god temples all over the world.
Because it can be seen everywhere, there is no demon interest.
In other words, no one and no demon thought that the city god was still alive.
Otherwise, so much incense, not to mention returning to peak condition, it's almost the same, right?
With this strength, he has already swept the monsters in the world.
If other immortals want to learn from the city god, they also have to build a temple, otherwise where does the incense come from?
Whether it is Lang Huan or bitter sandalwood, in fact, the incense is limited.
The gods are all better.
With the blessing of national fortune.
No matter how limited the incense is, it is enough to eat.
There is nothing in the bitter sandalwood.
The so-called incense is thin soup and little water.
There are not many benefits, but a lot of disadvantages.
You said that you want to prevent the monster from destroying, and let the big thing personally guard the temple when you build the temple, then the monster can make trouble elsewhere, if it is very big, resulting in a shortage of manpower for the demon subjugator, is the big thing out or not?
At this time, don't say that the monsters will hide and tuck, it's about the immortals, it's easy to say that there is a ban in the land of Jingwei, but the sea will not be honest.
When the temple is gone, half of the people are gone, the gains outweigh the losses, you have to do your best to calm the trouble, the temple can't be built, not to mention that only one temple is of little significance.
The City God Temple was built hundreds of years earlier or even earlier, and if you build a new temple now, don't you clearly tell the monster that it is dedicated to the immortals, then this immortal must be alive, how can the monster watch it?
If you can't find an immortal, you can't make a move, you send it directly to the front, and the monster can't be crazy.
It's the start of a new human battle.
Shanxue is also easy to say.
Although the sacred mountain is here, the purpose of the monster is to kill the immortals, and it is useless to kill a righteous god.
The price you pay is not proportional to what you get.
Because the Immortal Society has an extra layer of protection because of the service to the gods, it does not mean that it can speed up the recovery of strength.
Whether the remnants of the immortals in the world have the service of the gods or not, the difference lies in whether they find the abandoned gods and only return them to the gods, or have enough power to directly create the gods, which means that most of the immortal power has been restored.
But in the eyes of the yokai, the probability is extremely low.
Without the candle god, and Mozhang has not yet recovered, the strength of the fierce gods is also not as good as before, and some immortals have recovered so much power, they can completely kill all the monsters in the world, and the monsters can't resist at all.
What's more, the current Zhengshen is at most the strength of the gods or the discipline, and the existence of this level, there are more monsters than humans, at best, a few new big monks, which can't affect the overall situation.
The conditions for the demon kings and the fierce gods to recover their strength are much simpler than those of the immortals.
What is the situation of the immortals, the fierce god can more or less speculate.
Finding immortals, killing immortals is the first goal.
If you can't find it, it's someone who recovers stronger strength faster.
Even if one-on-one, some immortals will definitely have a higher strength than the fierce gods, but there are many monsters, and there is definitely no chance of winning on the whole, as long as they are not completely crushed, even if they can win, with the help of the whole world, they will pay an unimaginable price.
At that time, most of the world was destroyed, the human race suffered heavy losses, and the monsters were dead, but Mozhang recovered.
So what to do?
There is no resistance at all.
So there is no certain certainty in the situation.
No one will easily start a battle for the whole world.
To say that when the revival of Mozhang was not on the surface, the immortals may not know that Mozhang would recover.
Then the problem is simpler.
On the premise of not worrying about Mozhang's recovery, the immortals will not make a move, which means that the strength is completely insufficient to deal with the current monsters.
But there is one thing, Jiang Wang is really curious.
He looked at Shanxue God and asked, "If Chenghuang is the strongest of the known immortals in the world, after so many years, with the blessing of various conditions that can restore his strength, he has not been able to recover enough power to erase the power of the human monsters?" ”
Shanxue God shook his head and said, "I only know that Lord Chenghuang has indeed not recovered to his peak state, and I also believe that Lord Chenghuang has the power to wipe out the entire human monster, but his old man still doesn't seem to be enough." ”
"I still haven't gotten an answer, maybe the question of the demon is not as simple as it seems."
Jiang Wang frowned.
Shanxue Shen continued: "Lord Chenghuang made a mistake in the process of regaining his strength, so I said that it was an immortal who trapped me in the sacred mountain, but not the real Lord Chenghuang, you can understand that it was a wisp of thought. ”
Jiang Wangdao: "Obsession? ”
Shanxue God said: "It can also be explained in this way, Xu is Lord Chenghuang is in a hurry to achieve something, urging some kind of obsession, but what is going on, I can't say clearly, this idea is separated from Lord Chenghuang and is self-contained, he has more paranoid thoughts." ”
"But I didn't expect that this paranoia would make him mutilate Shanxue's creatures......"
