Three days later.

Chiyang Martial Arts Hall.

Zhang Yi died.

The Zhang family invited Jiang Chen to do a ritual for him.

With the improvement of his knowledge, he read more and more Taoist treasures and miscellaneous books, and Jiang Chen became more and more comfortable with things like Fa.

The practice is not to be at any time you want, you need to choose a day to prepare, Jiang Chen did not set the day on the day of the funeral, but the time to return to the soul on the seventh day.

The reason is that the deceased is afraid that the deceased will be attached to the yang world, unwilling to leave, and will do things that hurt their relatives.

To do things, you need to fast for three days, purify your body, not only do you not eat meat, but you also need to fast your eyes, ears, nose, mouth, fast, and heart.

Seven days arrived.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Chen set up an altar in the Chiyang Martial Arts Hall.

Prepare an offering table, a pair of candles, a handful of incense, three wine cups, three pairs of chopsticks, a number of offerings, a large amount of deceased money, and tin foil money.

"Immortal Dao Guisheng, no measure of people, open eight doors, fly to the sky**."

"Forbidden from sin, blessing and abstention, karma, universal acceptance, and the soul of the dead."

"The body is born, and the heavens are ......"

Jiang Chen was wearing a robe, holding a yellow charm in his left hand and a peachwood sword in his right hand, the treasure was solemn, and he recited the "Taishang Cave Xuanling Treasure Immeasurable Human Superior Wonderful Sutra", and exceeded the soul of the dead.

The children of the Zhang family all stood respectfully under the altar, their faces sad.

As the transcendence ritual progressed, Jiang Chen's face became more and more ugly, and he found that Zhang Yi's soul had not returned, and he didn't know where he had gone!

"Lay people, after the Dharma is over, please mourn and change!"

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"

Jiang Chen made a mockery and said.

"The Taoist has worked hard."

Zhang Yi's eldest son, Zhang Ping'an, returned the salute, and handed over ten taels of silver as a reward for the transcendent ritual.

Jiang Chen accepted the silver, packed up his things, turned around and left, before leaving, he took a strand of hair from the Zhang family's son, and used the Wanli Tracking Talisman to find Zhang Yi's soul with the blood and relatives as a link.

The Wanli Tracking Talisman instantly turned into a fluorescent paper crane, and Jiang Chen followed the guidance of the paper crane and chased all the way to the City God Temple.

The paper crane chased after this and kept circling around the City God Temple until the talisman spontaneously combusted, and the paper crane also turned into a wisp of fly ash.

"It's the City God Temple again?!"

Jiang Chen couldn't help frowning when he saw the City God Temple.

Changfeng County Chenghuang surnamed Li Mingxuan, was a famous good man in Changfeng County before his death, he was a great Confucian of the Zhou Dynasty, once entered the court as an official, for the country and the people, conscientious, and later offended the ministers, forced to return to the hometown, back to the old family Feng County.

In Changfeng County, he sponsored students to participate in scientific examinations free of charge, and personally went to the county school to teach students.

Every year of the great famine, he repeatedly gave free porridge, reduced or exempted the rent of tenant farmers, and called on the rich squires of Changfeng County to donate money and materials.

After his death, the imperial court posthumously named him Marquis of Changfeng, nicknamed Wenzhong, so the locals also called him Marquis Wenzhong.

The chief city god of the Great Zhou Imperial City felt his virtue and reported his situation to the Netherworld, and the king of the Netherworld Mansion ordered him to be named the Changfeng City God.

Judging from Li Xuan's resume, such a character is not a traitorous person, and after his death, he sat on the position of a county god because of his merits during his lifetime.

But why did Zhang Yi's soul disappear completely when he arrived at the City God Temple?

Was he recruited as a ghost by the city god, or was his soul scattered after being beaten?

Jiang Chen held the Tongyou Talisman in his left hand and the peachwood sword in his right hand, walked into the City God Temple again, and said loudly:

"Qingyang Dao Palace awarded Taoist priest Jiang Chen, the Taoist name is Chunyangzi, come to worship President Feng Chenghuang, and invite the Chenghuang Lord to show up!"

This was said, but there was no response for a long time.

"Please also ask Lord Chenghuang to show up!"

Jiang Chen spoke again.

"Humph!"

A voice like a low roar of gods and demons came from all directions, shaking Jiang Chen almost distracted:

"You little Taoist priest is so rude!"

"Is this god what you want to see?"

"You are yelling in my City God Temple, what kind of system have you become?"

Jiang Chen saw that the clay statue of the city god enshrined in the city god temple seemed to come to life, and saw that he was wearing a county official hat with warped yarn wings on both sides, wearing an official robe, his eyes were wide open, and he was not angry and arrogant.

"Xiaodao greets the City God!"

Jiang Chen made a snort and said respectfully.

After coming so many times, I finally met this city god.

"It's really helpless to disturb late at night, and I ask Lord Chenghuang to forgive me!"

"There is a person from Changfeng County, Zhang Yi of the Chiyang Martial Arts Pavilion, who did not return his soul seven days after his death, and Xiaodao performed Taoism, and tracked all the way to the vicinity of the City God Temple, and there was no breath of Zhang Yi's soul."

"Dare to ask Lord Chenghuang, have you ever seen Zhang Yi's soul?"

Jiang Chen asked.

"I haven't seen it."

Changfeng Chenghuang directly denied it:

"If there is no other reason, let's retreat quickly."

"If you dare to be rude next time, I will definitely want you to look good!"

After speaking, the incense god body of the city god gradually melted into the clay sculpture gold body, and everything returned to calm.

"This ......"

Jiang Chen was directly dumbfounded, why is this city god so cold.

You don't belong to the righteous gods of the heavenly court, just a little yin god, a petty official the size of sesame mung beans, you are so arrogant?!

It's really infuriating.

Was this guy still a good man when he was alive?

Then after his death, Jiang Chen, wouldn't he be able to be a prefectural judge or a monarch?

Zhang Yi's soul disappeared without a trace, and Changfeng Chenghuang was so difficult to speak, and the clue was broken again when the matter got here.

However, it can be regarded as seeing the city god, at least it can be proved that the city god in Changfeng County is not dead, but still alive.

"Corpse gas?"

Before Jiang Chen left, he looked around the City God Temple, and in addition to the weak incense qi in the temple, he actually noticed a trace of corpse qi.

It's really strange, have there been any deaths in the City God Temple?

"Don't get out of here!"

The head of the clay statue of the city god was constantly enlarged, becoming more and more hideous, and he scolded Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen frowned, he just wanted to have a seizure, but he still endured it.

After Jiang Chen left, a figure in a black robe walked out from behind the golden body of the city god's clay sculpture, puffing out his cheeks, grinding his teeth, and a hint of unfinished business.

"The essence and soul of a person who practices martial arts are all great supplements."

"It's a pity that there are too few masters in Changfeng County."

The black-robed man said with great emotion.

At this moment, the city god also manifested from the clay sculpture of the golden body, and said very flatteringly:

"My lord, the soul of a cultivator contains a lot of spirituality, so it's better to ...... the little Taoist priest who came just now."

Chenghuang made a motion to wipe his neck.

"Mouthy!"

"The Daoist priest of Qingyang Dao Palace is also something we can provoke?"

The black-robed man looked at Cheng Huang and frowned, and said in a cold voice:

"Later, when you take off this city god robe in front of me, I feel disgusted when I see it!"

"If it weren't for the fact that you still have some use, I would have swallowed it a long time ago."

"Humph!"

"Spare your life!"

"Spare your life!"

"The villain will take off the official uniform of the city god!"

Saying that, the city god immediately took off the city god's official uniform, and after taking off the city god's robe, the appearance of the city god's whole person has also changed a lot, which is completely different from the city god's clay statue golden body enshrined in the city god temple, and the whole person has also become gloomy and ghostly!

"Taiyin refining form, using form to supplement form, using god to supplement god, reshaping the root bones, and dissecting the corpse into immortals, how long will this road take?"

The black-robed man muttered to himself.

I don't know if it's for Chenghuang or for myself.

"Adults are unparalleled, and if they become enlightened with corpses, they will definitely be able to become immortals!"

Chenghuang said flatteringly.

"Don't be a fool, do things for me, I won't treat you badly!"

"Let's get down to business!"

The black-robed man said in a deep voice.
