Chapter 53: The Raid
At two o'clock in the morning, Ji Shang arrived at the planned Chenghuang Temple.
After entering the city, he was finally able to stop sitting on the coffin board and ride a shared electric car.
At this time, he didn't know what a terrible impression he had left on others in that "small circle" of this small city.
There was only one thought in his head:
Wash away the City God Temple.
Looking at the dimly lit City God Temple in front of him, Ji Shang hesitated for a moment and opened the chat interface with Lin Qinghe.
Prior to this, the other party had reported to him the whereabouts of Xian Si several times.
As he expected, the de facto "leader" of the Eight Waxes of the City God has been guarding the ward, waiting for himself to fall into the net.
But alas, all its plans fell through.
"Is Xianqi still over there?"
Ji Shang typed and asked.
Within three seconds, Lin Qinghe's reply was sent.
"It's still there."
"Brother Ji, are you ready over there?"
"Ready, keep an eye on it, find an opportunity to take out the human skin and get ready, I'm afraid that it will jump off the wall in a hurry, which will not be good for you."
"I understand, it's ready."
Lin Qinghe, who was on the other end, subconsciously pinched the negative human skin that was hidden under the bed, she knew that touching this human skin would bring disaster, but if it was to survive, this price was really nothing.
After receiving Lin Qinghe's confirmed reply, Ji Shangchang breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that everything is ready, the next step is the time for a full-scale offensive.
He took out the equipment he needed from his tennis bag one by one.
The umbilical cord of the infant ghost, the mother locust, and the hanging rope.
There is also a funeral umbrella that has been pinched in my hand.
He stood up and quietly sensed the breath of the Eight Waxes of the City God in the City God Temple, and after unfolding the dust bones, this was not difficult for him to do.
The Pioneer is not in the Temple of the City God.
The god of agriculture and the god of fang, the two ghosts and gods who have always been indisputable, are naturally absent.
Shui Yong ---- or the city god himself, is not in the city god temple.
According to the common practice, the City God Temple is just an "office" in the earthly world, and today is the day of the return to the city, and Shui Yong, together with the three gods of the night tour, bells and drums, and the land, have returned to the city.
Now in the City God Temple, there are only four gods: Si Si, Mao Hu, Liu Meng, and Postal Watch.
This is when the Temple is at its weakest.
Ji Shang didn't hesitate any longer, he waved the funeral umbrella in his hand, and the thousands of lonely souls and wild ghosts behind him who had long been unable to hold it rushed up, rushing straight in the direction of the City God Temple.
Ji Shang followed them, carefully lighting a vigorous fire in the incense jar in front of the door.
Then, he kicked open the already decaying gate of the City God Temple.
"Grandpa, I'm spicy!"
A shrill howl sounded in his ears, and the first confrontation between the lonely ghost and the four gods had begun.
In terms of personality, in fact, even a hundred wild ghosts were not enough to cause damage to any of the Eight Waxes of the City God with the Divine Bone, but now the ghosts commanded by Ji Shang were not hundreds, but tens of thousands.
Under the contract of the rice, they rushed forward one after another to the four gods who were caught off guard.
"Meow ————"
A piercing cat meow sounded, and the cat and tiger god among the four gods launched a counterattack first.
The stray cats entrenched near the City God Temple heard the wind and pounced in the direction of Ji Shang one by one.
Followed by Liu Meng, the insect god, the sparse humming sound gradually became dense, and even reached an overwhelming level.
The divine power of the post watch can't be exerted at all, it can only rely on its own divine bones to try to charm Ji Shang's eyes, but Ji Shang has already stepped into the City God Temple, what is the use of this little trick?
However, Si Si's ability caused some trouble to Ji Shang---- the rice seeds in his bag inexplicably sprouted and grew a bunch of rice ears.
Yes, Si Si also wanted to use the unconsumed grains in Ji Shang's body to burst his stomach, but Ji Shang had already learned well.
These days, all he eats is rice noodles.
If you have the ability, you can reorganize the molecules of rice noodles.
Ji Shang took out the locust mother from his pocket and threw it far away to the god seat of the city god.
After perceiving the breath of the Chenghuang Eight Wax, the Locust Mother screamed desperately, even if it was more than ten meters away, Ji Shang could still feel a swelling pain in his brain.
The abilities of the four gods were suppressed in an instant, and then, Avol's divine bones were activated, and the stray cats that were originally under the command of the cat and tiger god suddenly turned their heads in confusion as if they had lost their command after entering the main hall of the City God Temple.
And the insects that gathered together rushed to the fire at the door.
The superposition of the two negative effects made the four gods almost become spirits with no divine power.
The only thing they can do now is to rely on their incomparably thick divine bones compared to ghosts and gods, to resist wave after wave of attacks.
Ji Shang could almost imagine the seeping scene of those lonely souls and wild ghosts tearing the bones of the four gods.
He didn't plan to waste more time, sooner or later he would receive the news and rush back to the City God Temple, as the heaviest and most powerful of the Eight Waxes of the City God, its appearance would inevitably bring variables to his plans.
Therefore, the four gods must be completely buried before it can react.
Ji Shang sensed the position of the four gods, picked up the hanging rope, and walked forward step by step.
He planned to take advantage of the time when the four gods were dragged by ghosts, and start with the only physical cat and tiger god among the four gods.
It should be a black cat, at this moment it is hiding behind its own shrine, howling hoarsely trying to command the other stray cats in the hall, but under the double suppression, the wild cats that were originally obedient to him were not moved at all, but retreated one by one.
Cats can naturally see ghosts, and on this night when the ghosts walk at night, after the divine power of the cat and tiger god faded, they have already been frightened, and even several wild cats have collapsed on the ground, oozing shallow water stains under their bodies.
The further he went, the more intense the concussion in Ji Shang's brain became, and he couldn't stay in the influence of the locust mother for too long, so he simply rushed forward with an arrow step, smashing the cat and tiger god's divine position.
A strange black cat was finally exposed in front of Ji Shang's eyes.
Dry, thin, its fur glowed with a deep black that seemed to absorb all the light, but its eyes were as bright as lamps, emitting a faint green glow, looking straight into Ji Shang's eyes.
Ji Shang didn't give it any time to react, grabbed its neck, and then quickly put the hanging rope around its neck.
Fall back.
Ji Shang took two steps outward, escaping from the locust mother's sphere of influence, but just as he was about to tighten the hanging rope, he felt that the rope in his hand became extremely heavy.
He subconsciously looked back, and then realized.......
The end of the rope was not a black cat at all.
Rather, it was an old lady in a black mourning dress, with a withered face, sparse white hair, and prominent fangs at the corners of her mouth.
By this time, it had already waved its hands, and its nails had already grown into barbs in those zombie-like hands.
This is the true body of the cat and tiger god.
The black cat is an illusion that it has tailored for itself, even Ji Shang, who is a dusty person, has not been able to see through it.
Therefore, the cat and tiger gods, who have been worshiped as gods for hundreds or even thousands of years, are actually just ....... A zombie?
Ji Shang didn't have time to think so much, he bent down and flashed the other party's arm, and suddenly tightened the hanging rope in his hand.
But at this moment, the handwriting suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
"You have entered: the burial ground of the cat and tiger god."
The scene changed rapidly, and Ji Shang was shocked to find that the City God Temple was still the City God Temple, but everything around it had changed.
The glow of the electric lights faded, and the noisy humming of the mother locusts was gone.
Under the throne of the city god, a lamp is like a bean.
Outside the closed door, there was the harsh grinding of fingernails.
