Chapter 14: The City God

The night is bright and clear.

In the bright moonlight, a man rode a big donkey through the mountains, across the mountains, across the long river, and at last, they stopped.

"Donkey, let's take a break."

The donkey gasped, obviously tired, and said, "Go further." ”

Lu Yao slowed down slightly.

He saw a faint house in front of him, shrouded in mist, and he couldn't see it for a while, but when he got closer, he could see it clearly, it seemed to be a city god temple.

Zhong Ting also saw it and nodded: "Okay, just go there to rest, those people shouldn't be able to catch up for a while." ”

Bumpy all the way, Lu Yao was panting tiredly, he was also uncomfortable, his crotch was painful by Modi, and his waist and legs were sore.

He jumped down and ran forward with Lu Yao.

The surrounding forests are sparse, a faint mist envelops the temple, and the portal is dilapidated and seems to be uninhabited.

"Squeak......

Zhong Ting pushed open the wooden door, walked slowly, and looked around.

A shrine is placed on the wooden case, enshrined in a portrait, purple robe and jade belt, beautiful eyes and good face, and there is a tablet standing next to it: Ning County raised people Song to pray for the sealing of the hundred filial piety city gods.

"This person was a man before his death, and he was named a hundred filial piety city gods, so he should be a filial son."

Zhong Ting sighed.

Lu Yao laughed: "Chenghuang is also a person from the underworld, we just killed two people from the underworld, maybe Bai Jun will be on the way here." ”

"Not really."

Zhong Ting took three long incense sticks, lit them, and inserted them into the incense burner.

Maybe it's because it's a remote place, and there are only ashes in the incense burner, which is very clear.

"I don't want to disturb the city god, I want to rest here for a while, and I hope you understand."

Zhong Ting looked serious.

Lu Yao flicked his hooves and said, "You just killed the people of the underworld, how arrogant, how can you be so respectful." ”

"One yard is one yard, not all the hell is a bad person, this Song Qi was filial piety before his death, respected and was sealed as a city god, the incense is weak, we temporarily borrow this place, what if the pillar incense is on."

Zhong Ting sat down on the spot, closed his eyes, and entered meditation.

This is a qi refining method, which can restore physical strength and divine consciousness in a short time, which is very useful.

White smoke curls and a fragrance wafts through the air, which is peaceful, peaceful, windless, rainless, and silent.

Zhong Ting's body relaxed, his mind was relaxed, and he fell asleep.

"Bell ......"

A metal crash woke him up, and he looked around at a town.

The gongs and drums are noisy, and the crowds are crowded.

A man dressed in a purple robe, with a happy face and a large red flower tied to his chest, entered a simple courtyard surrounded by everyone.

"Mother... The sons are raised, and we have a good life. ”

There was a woman lying on the bed, with a thin face, and when she saw her son coming, she squeezed out a smile under her wrinkled skin, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes, "It's good to be admitted, it's good to be admitted." ”

The man knelt on the ground and said, "Mother, the county lord personally congratulated me and sent gifts, and the villagers cheered and sent eggs." ”

"And the doctor in the north of the city promised me to see you for free."

"Mother, you can enjoy the rest of your life."

The man wept with joy.

Zhong Ting watched from the sidelines, there was a lot of noise around him, people came and went, but no one seemed to be able to see him.

A woman passed through his body and left without pause, and a child rushed at him, laughing and playing, unconscious, and the panther dog in the courtyard barked and looked puzzled, but could not find his target.

Just before he was puzzled, a person walked to his side, saluted and smiled lightly: "Brother Song, I haven't seen you for a long time, the state government personally ordered, please go to Ning County to serve as the county commander, hurry up and prepare." ”

"Brother Song?"

"I don't have the surname Song..., and I don't know you."

Zhong Ting was puzzled, there was a large vat in the courtyard, half a person high, filled with water, and he leaned over to look.

The purple robe hangs down, the chest is saffron, and the eyebrows are delicate.

"It's... Isn't this the man from before, who prayed? ”

Zhong Ting was in a trance, and the ghost sent the god to say: "Who is Brother Tai, my old lady has been sick in bed for many years, and Ning County is far away, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it." ”

He looked sad.

The man glanced at the woman in the room, felt compassion, and said, "Brother Song, I am a cultivator in the mountains, my name is She Yuan, I like to read, I have been cultivating for many years, and I also have some knowledge. ”

"Over the years, you have repeatedly gone into the mountains to chop firewood and collect medicine, I know that you are kind and loyal, since you can't go for the time being, if not, I will take up a few years of office on your behalf, and then come to Ning County to take up the post when your family affairs are over?"

Zhong Ting was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is very good, Song Qi is grateful." ”

After speaking, She Yuan's figure dispersed.

Zhong Ting was agitated and came back to his senses.

Just now, he could see what he was doing and what he was saying, but he couldn't control his words and deeds, and he couldn't help but be afraid for a while.

His body seemed to be fixed in this courtyard, and he had been watching the life of the family, and he had been staying for several years.

Duration.

Song Qi High School raised people, came from all over the world to congratulate, and the old mother was gradually recovered under the treatment of the best doctor in the city.

And he found a position in a school in the city, teaching and educating people, although the salary is not high, but he lives happily with his mother every day.

Six years later, Song Qi had a high prestige in the city, was promoted to the county magistrate, and his mother's stubborn illness was finally cured.

For a while, double happiness came.

But the day before he joined the prefectural order.

Zhong Ting had a dream, he dreamed that the man named She Yuan was found by the government, saying that impersonating the court officials was a capital crime.

She Yuan confessed, and on the execution ground, he cried on his back: "Brother Song, the kindness has been repaid in this life, and I will see you in the next life." ”

The knife rises and falls.

Blood splashed three feet, and on the beheading table, She Yuan's body turned into a big snake, two cuts, motionless.

The people in the audience were frightened, and suddenly it rained heavily, lightning and thunder, and She Yuan's body was gone.

On the second day, the Song Mansion was sealed, and the imperial court beheaded Song Qi for the crime of colluding with demons and evil spirits.

A few days later.

Song Qi's uncle dreamed and found out.

It turned out that after Song Qi was lifted six years ago, he drank alcohol day and night, passed by the big river, lost his footing and drowned, and was supposed to report in the underworld, but there were nobles to help him and renew his life, so he lived for six more years, only for his mother's filial piety.

Later, the people of the world recited the Song prayer in the world, and the filial piety and righteousness existed, and the city god temple was built, and it was respected as the god of filial piety.

……

Everything around dispersed, fine beads of sweat oozed from Zhong Ting's forehead, and when he opened his eyes, it was the City God Temple, and Lu Yao was playing with his hooves in every way of boredom.

"Are you awake?"

Lu Yao raised his eyes and complained, "Just now you were talking nonsense, I thought you were evil." ”

Thinking of the dream that Shi Cai had, Zhong Ting lost his mind for a while, as if he was in another world, and said, "What did I say?" ”

"You said that your wish has not been fulfilled, and you are grateful to Brother She, and you are sorry for the old lady, let her send the white-haired person to the black-haired person."

Lu Yao's eyelids raised and said, "You also said that you were killed by someone after being lifted, not that you lost your footing and drowned." ”

"You, you're distracted, you've fallen into evil."

Zhong Ting fell into thinking, Fang Cai's dream was too real.

What puzzled him the most was She Yuan's death, and the other party turned out to be a big snake.

When they first talked, this person was polite and polite, giving people the feeling of a spring breeze, and so far, he still didn't understand why She Yuan wanted to join the company on behalf of Song Qi.

"When She Yuan died, he said that the favor had been repaid, could it be that these two had other intersections?"

He didn't know all this.

It's really embarrassing that the two died a day apart.

Zhong Ting felt that all this was not so simple.

He walked towards the shrine and brought the tablet, "Hundred filial piety city god Song pray." ”

"Bang dang..."

Suddenly, a roll of bamboo slips fell.

Zhong Ting picked it up, it was a method called "Baique Divine Power Quenching Method".

"Hundred Que ......"

Very familiar name.

Zhong Ting seemed to have heard it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, he continued to read it, and found that this exercise was very wonderful, and it was a method of quenching the body.

Lu Yao came over when he heard the sound, leaned over, and after a while, he looked away, only to feel dizzy, and said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of exercise is this, the words are basically known one by one, but when they are strung together, it is difficult to understand their meaning." ”

"I think it's fooling."

Lu Yao turned his head and stopped looking.

The whole bamboo slip, hundreds of words, only the beginning of the "Baique Divine Power Quenching Method" he can understand, the back, are extremely obscure.

I think that although he is a demon clan, he is also a nobleman of the Heavenly Demon Mountain, and he used to be a studious donkey, he has read a lot of books, and he thinks that he is also full of wealth, but this mountain and wild bamboo slip really stumped him.

I can't help but be deeply shocked.

"Xiao Zhong, this guy seems to be able to understand?"

Lu Yao glanced at it, and said in his heart: "Impossible, there is no such possibility, he is just a little stronger, such an obscure text, maybe it is not an exercise at all, this kid must not know how to pretend to understand." ”

Zhong Ting was observing, following the bamboo slips, and entered the practice.

Lu Yao couldn't understand it, but for Zhong Ting, this kind of cultivation method was very familiar to him, and the cultivation method in the previous life was like this.

Moreover, this exercise contains subtlety, which is more superb than the exercises he once practiced.

Perhaps it was the progress of the times, this exercise made him feel like he was suddenly opened, and many of his previous confusions were answered in an instant, and he was empowered.

In the small temple, the faint glow is accompanied by the sound of "humming".

Lu Yao followed the prestige, and his face was shocked.

I saw that there were several golden rays of light around Zhong Ting's body, arranged in an orderly manner, getting thicker and thicker, like a divine chain, and then slowly moving, emitting a breathtaking aura.

"What is this ......?"

"What a powerful breath."

Lu Yao watched quietly, "Could it be that the little guy is not pretending, he can really understand?" ”

He was happy in his heart, the stronger Zhong Ting was, the more beneficial it would be to him, and he said in his heart: "Wait a minute, let Xiao Zhong teach me this method, it looks very powerful." ”

The golden chains moved slowly, from more than ten to more than a hundred, and finally, at two hundred and thirty, they stopped.

One chain after another, the light flows, revealing the extraordinary.

Lu Yao was envious, and the Zhong Ting in front of him was as terrifying as a god and Buddha.

Zhong Ting opened his eyes, retracted his breath, and the golden chains gradually dispersed.

"Donkey?"

Lu Yao's scorching gaze made him feel weird, and he said in his heart, "This guy won't have special fetishes, okay." ”

"Hey......

"Xiao Zhong, what kind of magic power are you, you look very good."

At this point, Zhong Ting had actually remembered why this method was so familiar, and he only understood it after he practiced.

This is a magic technique, and there are some similarities with the "Yuanjing Divine Consciousness Enlightenment Method" given to him by Xu Ruxing at the beginning.

He remembered that Lu Yao was very hostile to Fangju.

Zhong Ting smiled: "Do you want to learn?" ”

"It's nature."

Lu Yao nodded again and again.

This body quenching method does not have to be weak in the Heavenly Demon Mountain's exercises, and there are even more mysterious places, just the one hundred and ten golden chains, it is very extraordinary, it can be attacked and defended, if there is this magical power, his combat power will inevitably be even more terrifying.

If he meets the Cold Moon Fairy again, he is also confident that he will live with him for hundreds of rounds, and if he reaches the peak of the eighth grade, he will be in the same realm as him, and he can even take down that hateful woman!

"It's a magic trick."

Zhong Ting spoke lightly.

"What!"

"How could it be ......?"

Lu Yao was shocked, then depressed, a little depressed, lowered his head, and stopped talking.

In fact, Zhong Ting has been puzzled for a long time about this doubt, and it is natural to ask at this time:

"Why are you so rebellious to the magic?"

“……”

Lu Yao was silent for a few breaths, sighed, and said: "Fangshu was once very prosperous, and there were also many demon beasts in the Heavenly Demon Mountain who cultivated, but most of our twelve demon king clans refused, and when I asked the elders in the clan, they didn't say anything." ”

There was a pause.

"Until one day, the character Tianjiao entered the Heavenly Demon Mountain and conducted a competition, saying that harmony is precious, but human beings are ruthless and master all kinds of unpredictable abilities, and most of the demon clans are invincible, and they suffer heavy casualties,"

"Later, I learned that they were using magic arts, so I sneaked into the human race behind my elders and secretly learned magic arts, at first, I tasted a lot of sweetness, but later, there were a series of physical problems."

Lu Yao stopped at this point, his expression was dull, and his tone was lowered.

"My father found out about my condition, asked, I explained everything, and then he took me to my grandfather."

"Grandpa told me that the magic I learned was fake, and I fell for the stratagem of the human race, all of this was premeditated, and grandpa used the spiritual treasure of the clan to heal me for me."

Lu Yao stopped.

Zhong Ting asked, "Are you getting better?" ”

"Yes, I'm healthy, but my grandfather is gone."

Lu Yao choked up a little: "The spirit treasure is a sacred relic of my clan, and it can only be used once a month. ”

"Grandpa was defeated, seriously injured, and left."

"Is there no other cure?"

Lu Yao shook his head and cried.

Zhong Ting finally knew why Lu Yao was so resistant to the magic technique.

People's hearts are sinister, sometimes the supernatural skills he learned are not necessarily true, he can't help but think of Xu Ruxing, the "Yuanjing Divine Consciousness Enlightenment Method" given to him by the other party, will it be fake?

Zhong Ting exhaled, it didn't matter if it was true or not.

He can discern and even identify mistakes and complete the correct parts.

When he came to this world, he came into contact with Fangshu for the first time and realized that this was a new practice method, but the root was still the method of the previous life.

It can be seen in many places, and it's amazing and incredible.

Who would have thought that he was a reborn person, and he was not yet a member of this world.

Lu Yao came to his senses, lowered his head, and said, "Let you see the joke." ”

"What's so funny, everyone is an animal with feelings, I understand you."

Zhong Ting comforted: "Believe me, this magic is true, I can still deceive you, I will learn it first, and then teach you." ”

Lu Yao raised his head and looked at each other.

"I believe in you."

Lu Yao spoke seriously.

The two have not been together for a long time, but he can feel that this young man is sincere.

The other party can provoke the underworld for Tao Jiang, and there is no reason to harm him.

At this moment, Lu Yao's ears moved slightly, and Zhong Ting's expression changed slightly, and he stopped talking.

"Someone's coming."
