"Wang Yi? That guy has already run away. Yang Jian walked on his short legs, jumping up and down the mountain, shrugging in response.

"Runaway? What's going on? Lu Gong was a little surprised.

Yang Jian said slowly: "Less than a month after you left, Wang Yi's guy successfully transformed. Not long after, he left Qinglan Mountain and has not been known since. ”

Lu Gong listened, but there were some doubts in his heart.

It stands to reason that Wang Yi has always been eager to transform into a shape, and there is a very stable ethnic group in Qinglan Mountain, so he will not leave so casually.

As he spoke, a corner of the mountain temple was already exposed halfway up the mountain.

Lu Gong hurriedly gathered his mind and subconsciously increased his speed.

Yang Jian rushed to the front of the mountain temple and shouted, "Senior Baigu, come out and see who is coming." ”

A burst of white light flashed, Bai Gu flashed out of the mountain temple with a cane in his hand, and when he saw Lu Gong floating in the air, his eyes lit up, but he didn't react much, there was a little more smile on his face, and he nodded: "When did you come back?" ”

"Just arrived." Lu Gong replied simply.

The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and between Lu Gong and Bai Gu, there seems to be a big age difference, but in fact, Lu Gong has always been dominant.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!" Bai Gu nodded.

Lu Gong looked left and right and found that the Mountain Temple had not changed much, and Bai Gu was similar to when he left.

Seeing a few Zhu Guo on his crutches, his heart moved, and the Zhu Guo in the box flew out and landed in front of Bai Gu. "Senior Bai, this Zhu Guo has not been used all the way, please take it back."

Bai Gu waved his hand: "Give it to you, you can keep it." I'm useless anyway. ”

Lu Gong said a few words, and found that Bai Gu still refused to take it back, so he didn't bother to bother anymore and took Zhu Guo back.

After a few simple small talks, Lu Gong saw Yang Jian wandering around outside the temple and casually asked about Wang Yi.

Bai Gu sighed a little emotionally, sighed slightly, and said, "The matter of Brother Wang Yi is a long story. But we all respect his choice. ”

"Can you elaborate on that?" Lu Gong was curious.

"A month after you left, on the day of Wang Yi's successful transformation, a big demon came, saying that he was from Baiyue in the south and wanted to take Wang Yi out of the Hua Dynasty."

"At first, Wang Yi didn't agree, saying that he would wait until you came anyway, but the other party was tough, and then something unpleasant happened."

"That big demon threatened Wang Yi that if he didn't leave, he would directly destroy Qinglan Mountain. In desperation, we asked the city god to come over; After some negotiation between the two sides, they promised to give Wang Yi another month, and Wang Yi left in June. ”

"At that time, we also persuaded him to go to Kyoto to discuss with you, but he still chose to leave."

"That's right! Before leaving, Wang Yi asked me to bring you a message. Bai Gu only remembered at this time, and hurriedly said.

"What?" Lu Gong was curious.

Wang Yi said that in the near future, there will be a big war between the human race and the demon race. Please stay out of the situation and protect yourself. ”

"The Great War between the Terrans and the Demons?" Lu Gong was stunned for a moment.

Bai Gu nodded: "It should be the news he got from the negotiation with that big demon from Baiyuelai." ”

"Didn't the demon clan be driven into the mountains to the south thousands of years ago?" Lu Gong asked.

According to what Lu Gong heard before, after the rise of the human race, the demon clan was already seriously injured, hiding in the Baiyue area, and very few groups were dispatched.

In the past thousands of years, in the human world, there have been occasional demon rebellions, but they are all small actions, and at most they are monsters in the transformation period.

Like Qingqiu, the two fox clan powers, although they also live in the human world, they are more human than the human race, and they are very obedient to the rules.

According to Granny Qiu, the reason why they have experienced in the human world is necessary. Moreover, some of the powers of human beings are also clear.

"I don't know the exact situation, but it's too far away from us." Bai Gu said lightly.

Obviously, for low-level gods like them, the war between races is not even qualified to participate.

If it's really unavoidable, it's also those at the top who have to watch out.

"By the way, does the new policy of the imperial court have any impact on this side?" Lu Gong said what he was most concerned about.

Speaking of this, Bai Gu couldn't help but look dark.

Lu Gong instantly realized that things were not as simple as Yang Jian said. Maybe Yang Jian hasn't been exposed to anything in the past few months.

"What's wrong?" Lu Gong subconsciously became worried.

"I can only say that this time has been hard for the city god." Bai Gu sighed slightly: "Not long after Wang Yi left, the new policy was issued, and after the City God received it, he called me and Brother Bi over, but in the end, we had nothing to do. ”

"Si Tianjian has now explicitly demanded that the Yin Division of Tianshui County must hand over one hundred pieces of gold body fragments every year, as well as one million worship money."

"A hundred pieces of gold, a million in worship money?" Rao is Lu Gong was already prepared, but he was still taken aback.

The god position of the entire Tianshui County is only a few hundred, and it takes many years for these mountain god lands at the bottom to condense a fragment of a golden body.

A small Tianshui County has to hand over a hundred yuan a year, wouldn't that force the city god to squeeze the gods at the bottom, and even deliberately kill them?

There are also millions of worship money, in addition to the mountain god Hebo, more than two hundred land gods in Tianshui, if it is distributed, the annual tax is five or six hundred worship money, which is four or five times more than before.

"Yes! We also think that Si Tianjian is really crazy. It is also clearly stated that all the gods can be exchanged for offering money. It's all about trying to collect taxes in one year for five years. I don't know why Si Tianjian is so anxious. ”

Hearing this, Lu Gong was subconsciously silent.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Lu Gong silent, Bai Gu was suddenly a little surprised. "What do you know about Kyoto?"

Lu Gong hesitated for a moment, but still talked about the bronze and golden body incident in Kyoto's castle god temple and the imperial palace, as well as the golden body samurai in the front division of the palace.

Bai Gu's eyes widened, terrified to the extreme.

"Thousands of Chenghuang-level bronze and golden-bodied warriors! What is the court trying to do? ”

"With such a powerful force, I don't know what to deal with, but speeding up the collection of golden body fragments is probably related to the destruction of thousands of bronze golden statues by Qinglu this time. They are in a hurry to come back. Lu Gong made a judgment.

Shiratani sighed. "I didn't expect so many things to happen in just a few months, and it's really a blessing for you to come back."

Lu Gong looked at his worried look and didn't dare to say more.

"What's next?" Bai Gu was silent for a moment, and when he saw that Yang Jian had already walked back, he changed the topic.

"Let's go to Chiyang Mountain first, I promised Qinglu that I would erect a monument for her there. After doing this, I felt that I should go to the Tianshui City God Temple. Ma Zhongqiu's position as a city god can be said to have been forcibly pulled up by me, and now that I encounter so many difficulties, I can't stand by and take care of it! Lu Gong said his plan.

Bai Gu nodded. "Knowing that you will come, Lord Chenghuang can probably breathe a sigh of relief."

After a pause, Bai Gu smiled bitterly: "During this time, he has done well enough. ”

"Then I will say goodbye, and I will have a chance to talk again!" Lu Gong saw that Yang Jian had already leaned over and floated up.

Bai Gu nodded lightly: "Goodbye." ”

"Leaving so soon?" Yang Jian was holding a few wild fruits in his arms and was gnawing on them with relish.

"Let's go, you go back to Xiaokan Village first. I still have something to ......," Lu Gong said.

Yang Jian had long been accustomed to Lu Gong's fiery behavior, so he just scolded with a smile. "I know you're going to be idle. Go ahead. I'll talk to Shiratani's seniors. ”

"Okay, then I'll go." As soon as the words fell, Lu Gong had already disappeared into the far sky.

Seeing this scene, Yang Jian opened his mouth wide, and the fruit in his mouth fell directly to the ground.

Along the way, he didn't feel any change in Lu Gong at all, but just now, he understood. Lu Gong is no longer the Lu Gong he was when he left.

Bai Gu also looked at the distance and sighed a little lost: "It seems that his growth rate has far exceeded our imagination. ”

"No, he's still the same elm pimple." Yang Jian suddenly laughed.

While they were talking, Lu Gong had already arrived at the top of Chiyang Mountain.

With Qinglu's departure, Bi Yangshan has completely changed his appearance. However, Lu Gong quickly found the previous entrance in the mess of stones.

How to erect a monument to Qinglu is a problem for Lu Gong.

She turned into the snow of June, but she didn't even have a crown left.

"Or feel free." Lu Gong's heart moved, and he was about to find a stone to make a stone tablet at random, when suddenly his mind moved, and a box floated out of the dark space.

It was the eight-treasure brocade box that was taken from Xu Yang and used to hold the corpse.

Lu Gong never thought that this brocade box would suddenly appear at this time. Looking at the box floating in front of him, Lu Gong's heart suddenly beat wildly.

He suddenly remembered that although most of the corpses he had received before had been exchanged for offering money, there was still a surplus, and those corpses had not been disposed of.

Could it be that there are still corpses in the brocade box?

Lu Gong tried to control his emotions, and opened the brocade box with some expectation and worry.

The brocade box quickly popped open, and in the small space, a corpse that had been compressed lay quietly inside.

The corpse was only the size of a finger, but it was crystal clear, and what made Lu Gong feel even more incredible was that the corpse was actually with strange long white hair, wrapped in a piece of cloth.

"Qinglu?" Lu Gong trembled almost uncontrollably.

With a thought, the little corpse floated.

The strange corpse didn't open its eyes because of this, even if it was a dead thing, floating quietly in the air, transforming into the size of a child.

The corpse in the brocade box suddenly disappeared and turned into such a strange monster, which Lu Gong could not understand.

Could it be the back hand of the green fish?

Lu Gong thought that they had relied on each other for more than a month along the way, and with the strength of Qinglu, it could be said that it was easy to do things in this brocade box.

However, she had already made it clear that she would set up a monument for her.

Could it be that I am thinking too much?

Lu Gong adjusted his emotions, thought about it, and still according to his promise, he used the Wind Resisting Technique to make a deep pit, put the corpse down, and cover it with earth and stones. After thinking about it, Lu Gong brought a flat stone and a tree on it.

"Thousands of miles of red land in the world, snowing in Kyoto in June, after thousands of years without regrets, I am the corpse emperor of the world. - Lu Gongliu"

After writing an epitaph for her, Lu Gong stayed for a moment, then put away the brocade box and left Chiyang Mountain.

In Tianshui County, the City God Temple is no longer deserted in the past.

Even at night, the place is still brightly lit, and the remains of the incense burner still exude the faint fragrance of incense.

On the main hall, more than a dozen ghosts from the City God Temple were very busy.

Ma Zhongqiu buried his head in the case, and did all these big and small things himself.

Qin Qiubo sorted out the files sent by the ghost, and stacked them on the case that Ma Zhongqiu needed to personally pass the purpose.

The breeze blew, and all the ghosts in the City God Temple raised their heads almost at the same time.

Without waiting for them to reflect, Qin Qiubo suddenly realized something, the water on his body was circulating, and he had already come to the courtyard in one step.

Ma Zhongqiu's reaction was even stronger, he hurriedly dropped the pen and paper in his hand, and directly turned into a golden light and rose into the sky.

"Lord Chenghuang seems to have improved his cultivation again." Lu Gong didn't expect that Ma Zhongqiu would find out about himself so quickly.

In front of him, Ma Zhongqiu's golden body was completely invisible, and he entered an extremely restrained state.

Ma Zhongqiu bowed his hand and gave a heavy salute. "Welcome back Brother Lu."

"Your Excellency Lu Gong, you're finally back." Qin Qiubo had already come to his side, and the joy on his face could not be hidden.

"I've seen Senior Qin." Lu Gong hurriedly returned the salute.

Ma Zhongqiu turned his head to look at the excited Qin Qiubo and said with a smile: "Look, I said it a long time ago, there is nothing in the world that can be difficult to stop Brother Lu." ”

Qin Qiubo reported astringently, his old face turned red, and he defended: "After all, it's a Kyoto ......"

"Let's go, let's go back to the house." Ma Zhongqiu smiled and waved his hand and made a "please" gesture.

It can be said that whether it is Bai Gu or Yang Jian, whether it is Qin Qiubo or Wang Yi, they are all full of worries about Lu Gong's entry into Beijing, and only Ma Zhongqiu has always been unworried.

He knew very well that the connection between himself and Lu Gong could not be severed by a city god's golden body.

Especially before, when he suddenly had his golden body sublimated again one day, he knew that it was Lu Gongxiu's breakthrough again.

As long as he lives well, it means that Lu Gong has nothing to do.

This is also where Ma Zhongqiu's confidence lies.

Entering the City God Temple, Lu Gong saw many unfamiliar faces, but before he could figure it out, the dozen or so ghosts had already rushed over and surrounded him in the middle, all with excitement on their faces.

"Your Excellency Lu Gong."

"Your Excellency Lu Gong, it's great that you're finally back."

"We've been waiting for you to come back day and night."

Ma Zhongqiu looked at these ghosts who were happier than himself, and explained with a smile: "This is a talent I selected from the low-level gods from all over the world, and many of them still admire your name and recommend themselves to come in." ”

Ma Zhongqiu didn't expect that since that recommendation, the Yin Division of the entire Tianshui County would soon fall into an unprecedented virtuous circle. Many low-level gods have seen hope, and there is no lack of spare energy to build Tianshui with their hearts.
