Chapter 39 The City God of the Land

"Old Yang, hold on to ......"

"I'm fine...... Ahem...... Lao Yan is still there. ”

On the edge of a hill on their backs, they found Lao Yang.

Lao Yang's clothes were in tatters, there was a lot of blood, and many fractures on his body had been deformed.

The people who came to the rescue carried Lao Yang on a stretcher.

Lao Yang struggled to turn his head and looked at the mountain col in the distance.

"Take him home!"

Lao Yang tightly grasped the hand of the man next to the stretcher with his bloodstained hands, and stared at him with red eyes.

The man was silent, and looked back at the distant col.

After the shells fell in turn, all that remained in the entire col was the overturned dirt with gunpowder smoke and the white python's flesh and blood.

"I see. We will take him back. ”

"Take him back...... Be sure to take him back! ”

Lao Yang was still holding this person's hand and said repeatedly,

It wasn't until the supported body was really out of strength that he fell back on the stretcher.

"Lao Yang, you can recuperate with peace of mind, Lao Yan, we will take him home, and we will definitely take him home."

The man patted the back of Lao Yang's hand again and responded.

Before Lao Yang was carried away on a stretcher, he was still staring at this person with red eyes, and he was still struggling to look at the mountain col in the distance.

promised Lao Yang that the person who wanted to take Lao Yan home walked to the mountain pass,

Looking at the scene in the col, there was silence again.

Lao Yan himself exploded a high explosive in the mouth of the white python, and after the subsequent bombardment, there was still a trace of Lao Yan's body here.

It may have been mixed in the soil that had been turned over on the ground, and maybe the dried blood stains on the soil next to it that had been roasted by the scorching temperature were Lao Yan's.

The man's eyes were a little red, and he called the person next to him.

“…… Lao Yan, Investigator Yan is sacrificed here, so let's pay attention to it when cleaning up the scene and see if we can ......"

opened his mouth, but the man couldn't speak,

"Dig a small shovel of soil in the middle of this col on all sides and bring it back."

The man just said that in the end.

"I got it......"

This thing was commanded,

The staff attached to the scene of cleaning up the col were a little silent, and their hands were more careful.

It's just that no matter how much you search, no trace of Lao Yan's body can be found.

In the end, I just shoveled some soil and found a piece of cloth to wrap it.

And the man who stood on the edge of the col stood and looked,

Until he took the bag of soil and hugged it tightly in his hand, his eyes became redder, and he couldn't stop turning around.

……

Xu Feng and Ah Meng are standing in the mountains and forests where people come and go at this moment,

It's just that it's like dead leaves stuck in the treetops or falling on the ground, and no one notices the two of them.

watched that Lao Yang was rescued and left, and saw that those handfuls of soil were also taken away.

Xu Feng retracted his gaze and paused,

Then he looked into the distance, and then took another step forward with Ah Meng.

……

"Squeak...... Tweet ......"

"Hoo ......"

This is deeper in the mountains, and the uniformed searchers are far from here.

Dense foliage shrubs, blocking the starlight in the night sky,

A figure, without a light, followed the deeper mountain forest in the distance, constantly pushing away the bushes next to it,

kept panting, but he didn't stop, and hurried forward.

From time to time, he turned his head and looked left and right, and the insects and birds that were sleeping on the branches along the way were startled by him from time to time.

Occasionally stepping on a broken dead branch, the man was also startled, and after a pause, he ran forward faster.

"Made...... I don't have any brains when I'm so big, and I swallow everything in my mouth. ”

The one who escaped along the deep mountains and old forests was naturally the so-called Daoist Hu Daochang, who was obscure on his face at the moment and resentful in his eyes.

Originally, he planned to watch the white python eat those two guys, and then he left with his things.

In this way, he vented his resentment at the destruction of his practice here.

Who knew that the inventory of the giant python was directly swallowed into its mouth.

Originally, if the bomb was outside, he could have made it impossible for the bomb to explode with a little trick.

As a result, he was swallowed into the mouth of the giant python, and he learned some tricks, and it didn't work very well against the giant python.

As soon as the explosion sounded, he knew he was going to suffer,

He didn't even care about anything else, so he turned around decisively and ran deeper into the mountain forest.

"Made, I don't know if the rest of the guys are dead......

kept scolding in his heart, this nonsense chief only hoped at the moment that when the white python was struggling to death,

Kill all the remaining people in the col.

In this way, those people will only think that the white python is the cause of the disaster, and ignore his existence.

At this moment, he was a little panicked and kept running forward.

Afraid that those behind would catch up, and afraid that there was something more terrifying in this deeper mountain forest than the white python,

As a guy who plays with this kind of ghost, the more he knows something, the more he is afraid of the horror guys that may appear.

"Whew...... Whew......"

Panting, pushing away another bush, Hu Daochang raised his head and looked ahead,

The heart that was already tense and carried was suddenly startled, and it couldn't stop stopping.

"Who? Who's there! Speak! If I don't say anything, I'll do it! ”

He saw a place not far ahead, just under the cover of night,

Suddenly, two figures appeared, and the two figures stood side by side, one slightly taller, the other slightly shorter,

It seems that facing him, I have been waiting for him for a long time, quiet, and there is no sound.

At this moment, in the middle of the night, it is deep in the mountains and old forests, and he would rather see those official people behind him catch up,

I'd rather see some huge beast or a monster than see these two seemingly normal figures.

"Who's there! I'm going to do it! ”

The voice is inward, and he shouts fiercely,

But the nonsense chief has retreated again,

After taking a few steps back, he saw that the two figures in front of him were still in place, turned around, quickened his pace, and hurriedly ran in another direction.

It's just that he ran out of breath for some distance further on,

In the distant night, two familiar figures appeared quietly in front of him again.

"Made! What the hell! ”

Knowing that he couldn't run away, this nonsense chief became even more crazy on his face, and scolded angrily,

He immediately pinched the trick in his hand and recited the mantra, and then took out a cloth bag in his hand, and the cloth bag was opened.

In an instant, several wooden or hideous and terrifying figures sprang out of the cloth bag, rushing towards the two figures standing quietly in front of them.

It's just that I saw these terrible evil ghosts, rushing towards the two figures before they reached the two of them.

I saw that the speed slowly slowed down, and finally I just stood in place stunned.

Hu Daochang's face changed color, and at this moment, he felt that these little ghosts he had refined were completely out of his control, and he couldn't even feel it.

Frightened, Daoist Hu quickly released a few more souls from another cloth bag, driving him towards the two terrifying figures.

He turned around and ran in the other direction again, and at the same time applied a spell to increase his speed, just to run faster.

It's just a pity,

Once again, his idea fell through the cracks.

He only ran a few steps away, and the two figures reappeared in front of him.

"Hold and enslave the souls of the dead, and drive them to do evil for you."

At this time, these two figures walked towards him.

"People? Friends, everyone's well water does not interfere with river water, if someone needs it, just open your mouth, just ask me to let me go, and we can get along with each other in the future. ”

The face of this nonsense chief changed again, and he said again after that.

These two figures,

Naturally, it was Xu Feng and Ah Meng.

It stands to reason that the affairs of the world are not under the control of the earthly government.

However, this nonsense chief is restrained in enslaving the souls of the dead and hindering the reincarnation of these souls.

When it comes to the reincarnation of the reincarnation, it will be under the control of the underworld.

Of course, even if it doesn't involve the reincarnation of the reincarnation, Xu Feng wants to take care of it, then Ah Meng, who has never refused any of Xu Feng's requests, is naturally impossible to object.

walked in front of this nonsense chief step by step,

Xu Feng listened to what this Daoist said, and he wanted to laugh a little,

"The well water does not interfere with the river water?"

Xu Feng and Ah Meng walked out of the night and walked up to the Hu Dao chief.

However, Xu Feng and Ah Meng knew this Hu Daochang, but this Hu Daochang didn't know the two, and they were still cautious and vigilant against the two.

"Yes, both of them are masters, if you need anything, just take it. I admit it. ”

As he spoke, this Daoist Hu picked things down from his body, and his eyes were always paying attention to Xu Feng and the two, as if he was afraid that Xu Feng and the two would suddenly make a move.

"Alright, then you can come with us."

“…… Dare to ask the two masters what needs to drive me, and I am willing to let them be told. ”

"You kill and practice, do evil things, detain the souls of the dead, hinder the reincarnation of the souls, now the time has come, come with us."

Xu Feng had a restrained expression on his face and said loudly.

This originally vigilant Daoist Hu, listening to Xu Feng's words, his face changed suddenly.

"Underworld?"

whispered, and threw everything out,

He used all kinds of escape spells, and when he turned around, he wanted to run.

"Looks like you know quite a bit."

Xu Feng stood in place and stretched out his hand.

The hand has not become longer, and the nonsense chief is indeed running away,

But Xu Feng's hand is like a thousand miles away, shrinking the ground into inches,

Stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and he grabbed the nonsense chief who had run far away,

He took the man back.

"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives......"

Seeing that he couldn't run away, this Hu Daochang directly cried and begged.

Xu Feng looked at this nonsense chief who was crying and begging at the moment,

looked at the souls next to him who had been enslaved by this nonsense chief, and didn't speak again.

Just reach out and stretch out,

Immediately after the body of this nonsense chief fell to the ground softly,

The revenant stood aside in a daze.

Xu Feng withdrew his hand and looked at the circle of dead souls next to him.

"Amon ......"

How did these souls come back to the inn?

But these dead souls all crossed the bridge from the inn to reincarnation?

Or do you want to reroute and send it to Lao Bao?

Xu Feng looked at Ah Meng.

"Xu Feng, do you need help informing the other Yin Errands?"

Ah Meng understood what Xu Feng meant, turned his head and looked at Xu Feng and asked.

"Let me know. Just notify the old bag or the old bag's subordinates. ”

Xu Feng nodded and said loudly.

I am probably not very familiar with other departments of the prefecture, but I am still familiar with Lao Bao.

"Okay."

Ah Meng responded gently, paused, and said to Xu Feng again,

"They have been informed."

"Hmm."

He just stood there and waited a little longer.

More than a dozen shadowy figures appeared around Xu Feng and Ah Meng.

The leader is two bull heads, one of whom is an acquaintance.

"Your Excellency."

The bull head Chen Da whispered to Xu Feng,

The other bull head looked at the surrounding dead souls, and also reacted and confessed to Xu Feng and the others,

"Two adults, subordinates are derelict in their duties, and they hope to forgive their sins."

Xu Feng shook his head and didn't say anything.

He's the owner of the Lethe Inn, though he seems to be a little taller.

But whether these misdeeds are dereliction of duty or not, it doesn't seem to be his judgment.

"Excuse me, bring these souls back. It doesn't seem to be convenient for me to take it away. ”

"Don't dare, your lordship is polite. Then the lowly rank will take these souls down first. ”

"Hmm...... After talking about the merits and demerits, please tell me what happened to these people before they died. ”

Xu Feng nodded in response, and the next sentence was purely because he wanted to understand it in more detail.

"Yes."

A group of yin chasers left one after another with these already confused souls.

Wait for all these bad things to leave.

Xu Feng paused, then looked back at Ah Meng.

"Let's go. Amen, it's time for us to go back too. This obsession. I think I've found it. ”

"Hmm."

In the distance, there was already some movement from the searchers.

Xu Feng turned his head and looked around again, and then took another step forward with Ah Meng.

……

On the banks of the Lethe River.

The Lethe River is as deep and calm as ever,

Except for the occasional sudden bulging wave, it is impossible to see whether the Lechuan River is flowing or not.

The bluestone slab bridge on the river is still the same, and the flowers on the other side of the river are still blooming and falling.

It's just that the guest in the inn has changed his appearance.

Xu Feng and Ah Meng returned to the back door of the Lechuan Inn,

Through the open door of the inn, you can see the guest in the inn.

The guest is no longer a little boy, but has become middle-aged.

It seemed that he already knew something, remembered something, and still held the cup of tea, lowered his head, and was a little silent.

"What do you remember?"

Xu Feng and Ah Meng walked back to the inn.

"Yes, boss."

Yan Shen raised his head first, and saw Xu Feng and Ah Meng coming back,

Then he stood up, but he stood on the stool, and when he stood up, he was only as tall as he sat up.

Looking at Xu Feng, he hesitated, but still used this title.

"I remember that day when I was a child, I didn't get lost, and even though it was dark on the road, I still walked along the road. When I was about to arrive in the village, I met my mother and father, who were anxiously looking for me with a flashlight. ”

"I probably died some time ago...... Ha...... It should be definitely dead. It's strange that I'm the way I am, still alive. ”

Yan Shen spoke first, much more freely.

Xu Feng glanced at Yan Xianxian's body from the side,

Although Yan Shenxian has regained the appearance of a middle-aged man, his body only has an upper body.

Standing on the stool, the crack was still a little blurred with flesh and blood.

It's just that the injury he suffered before he died was bitten off by the white python.

"The guest should have guessed what this place is."

"Hmm. It turns out that there is really a dungeon. ”

"The phase is born from the heart, and the soul has a heart change. The appearance of the dead soul is only an appearance, and if the guest wants to get back up, he can also stand up. ”

Xu Feng looked at Yan Shen standing on the stool and said first.

Yan Shen first looked down at his body, hesitated, and then seemed to think of something, and then smiled freely,

"I still want to fall and hurt. I forgot what pain I was afraid of at this time. ”

As he spoke, after a few strokes, Yan moved his body to get off the stool.

Before Yan Xian was about to fall off the stool, Xu Feng put his hand on Yan Shenxian's shoulder.

Immediately after, Yan Shenxian, who had already left the stool, did not fall to the ground, but the lower half of his body resurfaced.

He returned to the appearance of an ordinary person, squatted slightly on the ground, and then stood up again.

"Hey, it's still so comfortable. Thank you to the owner. ”

"You're welcome."

Xu Feng raised his hand and motioned for Yan to sit down first.

Ah Meng watched Xu Feng's movements, came over again, poured two cups of tea respectively, and put them on the dining table.

"Thank you. ...... owner"

Facing Xu Feng, Yan Shen first maintained respect,

Picked up the teacup and tasted it shallowly,

looked at Xu Feng again, hesitating, wanting to ask something.

"The python has been ambushed. The Taoist priest who took the evil path has also been arrested and returned to the underworld. Your colleague has also been saved, and although he was seriously injured, he is not afraid of his life, and he probably will not be left with any disability. ”

Xu Feng knew what Yan Shen wanted to ask first.

And these news are the obsessions that Xu Feng brought back from the world.

"Whew...... Thank you to the owner. ”

Hearing Xu Feng's words, Yan Shen exhaled first,

From when he was a little boy at the beginning, until now, his body, which has been tense, has finally slowly relaxed.

"Speaking of which...... Lao Yang and I are really unlucky. I originally wanted to find a true way to deal with the changes in the world now, but I didn't expect that the true cultivator did not seek the way, but encountered an evil cultivator. ”

Yan Shen said this first, and the whole person was more relaxed and free, just casually carrying it.

When Xu Feng heard this, he paused, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

He sensed a picture, probably this Yan Shen and his colleagues,

The letter left at the door of the Taoist temple on the mountain where he once appeared.

It turns out that there is also this karma.

"Hmm...... Is there anything else Mr. Yan can't put down? ”

"It's gone. Except for my job, there is nothing else I can't put down. However, I'm all dead, and the affairs of the world will be left to them in the future, so I'll be lazy. ”

"This white python disaster is over, the culprit has been caught, Lao Yang has also survived, and it is worth dying for me."

"Hmm."

Xu Feng looked at the Yan Xian sitting opposite again,

He looked down at the tea in his cup again.

As Yan Shenxian's obsession has gone, the tea has changed its appearance.

It's no longer just the flowers on the other side soaked in the water, but Meng Po soup.

After a pause, Xu Feng raised his head again and looked at Yan Shenxian.

"Mr. Yan. This bowl in your hand is Meng Po soup. Now that the obsession has disappeared, you can drink Meng Po soup and walk across the Nai He Bridge here to go to reincarnation. ”

"However, Mr. Yan has merit in front of him, and there is another choice for you, which is to stay, to be a hell of a poor person or a land god in the world."

Xu Feng didn't forget that Lao Bao asked him to pay attention to the matter of the candidates for the land and city god in the world.

And Yan Shenxian in front of him is obviously a suitable candidate.
