Chapter 27: Ghost Eater
"My lord, what's next?"
Chenghuang asked.
"Zhang Yi is dead, the next target is the head of the Xinglong Dart Bureau, the second-rate master Niu Debiao."
"He is practicing external skills, the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Jar, the Dragon Yin Iron Cloth Shirt, the King Kong Fist, and the Soul Breaking Knife, these four third-rate martial arts have all been practiced by him to the fullest."
"Although these are not top-notch martial arts, with the foundation of these four third-rate martial arts, he has become a second-rate master."
"When he was young, he was so brave and fierce, and then he went around darts, and he lived a life licking blood on the tip of a knife, and now he is also forty-five years old, and it is normal for some accidents to occur at this age."
"It's still the old rule, I'll use the Blood Gu to slowly suck up his essence and blood, and when he dies, you can detain his soul to the City God Temple for me to enjoy!"
"Don't worry, the share that belongs to you, I will keep it for you."
The black-robed man said in a cold tone.
"Thank you, sir!"
Hearing this, Chenghuang's eyes burst out, and saliva was about to flow out of the corners of his mouth!
…………
Early the next morning.
Jiang Chen found Wang Meng, took him to the Pure Yang Taoist Temple, and then took out the first-class martial arts "Red Jade Gong" and put it in front of Wang Meng.
"Brother Wang, this is the "Red Jade Gong" I bought from Zhang Yi for a thousand taels of silver, this exercise is not a second-rate top martial art that has been circulated in the outside world, but a genuine first-class martial art."
"Although I haven't seen any other first-class martial arts, I feel that they are all top-notch existences among first-class martial arts."
"But this technique is easy to learn and difficult to master, and it takes too long, so it is difficult for ordinary martial artists to cultivate it to perfection in their lifetime."
"Zhang Yi didn't cultivate this technique to Dacheng, and his master didn't cultivate it to Dacheng, so for the vast majority of martial artists, it is indeed a second-rate martial art."
"I wonder if you want to learn?"
Since he couldn't find a breakthrough in Zhang Yi, and he didn't find any suspicious phenomena in the City God Temple, Jiang Chen paid attention to Wang Meng again.
Although Wang Meng is not very old, he is the head catcher of Changfeng County, and he has been in Changfeng County for many years, so he must have heard of some strange things that happened in Changfeng County.
"I ...... I naturally wanted to, but I ...... I'm really shy. ”
Wang Meng looked at the first-class martial arts "Red Jade Gong" in front of him very eagerly, and his eyes showed a look of longing.
He hated to open the booklet immediately and get a glimpse of the mysteries of superior martial arts.
But he has been in the county for so many years, he has never seen anyone, he has never encountered anything, he knows that Jiang Chen must have something to ask him for help.
And this thing will probably make him very difficult!
"I have something I want to ask Brother Wang, and I ask Brother Wang to tell me the truth, and afterwards, I won't take a penny from "Red Jade Gong", and I will give it with both hands!"
Jiang Chen said directly.
"What's the matter, and tell me about it?"
Wang Meng was not carried away by "Red Jade Gong", nor did he respond to what Jiang Chen did not say.
"Wang Wu, Gu Cheng, Sun Fengtian...... Zhao Daqiang and Zhang Yi, who just died, why did they die? ”
Jiang Chen asked.
"This ...... I don't know about this, and they all died normally, and there were no ghosts and demons? ”
Wang Meng said with some confusion.
Could it be that this is what Jiang Chen wants to ask?
"I used the Thousands of Miles Tracking Talisman to track Zhang Yi's soul, and when I arrived at the City God Temple, his breath completely disappeared."
"Is the death of these warriors related to the city god of Changfeng County?"
"Why did I mention Changfeng County Chenghuang before, and Brother Wang Meng looked at him left and right?"
Jiang Chen asked again.
As soon as these words came out, Wang Meng's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had connected something.
He looked around, then trotted to close the door of the Taoist temple, and then closed the wooden door of the main hall, and said in a low voice:
"Dao Chief, it's not that I'm looking left and right about him, but I don't dare to say it!"
"There is a problem with the Chenghuang in Changfeng County, he ...... He eats ghosts! ”
"During the Midyear Festival, I was in charge of the night watch, passing by the City God Temple, I saw with my own eyes the ghosts under the City God, detaining the surrounding wandering spirits and wild ghosts to the City God Temple, and then he ate them in a big gulp."
"Not only did he eat it raw, but he also steamed and fried it, and that scene really scared me!"
"Even if I'm not a monk, I know that Chenghuang is the god of Yin Si, worshiped by incense, refining the power of incense, and strengthening his body, but he doesn't eat ghosts!"
"And our Chenghuang in Changfeng County was a great benevolent man Li Wenzhonggong before his death, I grew up listening to his stories, how could he eat ghosts, and he was so cruel, it was even more terrible than evil ghosts!"
A look of fear flashed in Wang Meng's eyes.
"Bless the Holy Monarch of the Town House, and the Yin Division punishes the evil Judge Zhong Kui who eats ghosts, but all he eats are evil ghosts, but it's really hard to say whether this city god eats ghosts or not."
"However, Chenghuang manages the party on behalf of the Yin Division, shouldn't he be extradited into the underworld when he encounters a lonely soul and wild ghost, how can he eat it directly?"
Jiang Chen was also a little blindsided.
This world is very peculiar, there are not only the gods of the heavenly court, but also the underworld, and even the monks of the world.
However, the pursuit of human monks is the path of free immortals, and many people choose to ascend to the earth immortal realm, and do not want to enter the heavenly court as an official, but it also belongs to the jurisdiction of the heavenly court.
The supreme rulers of the Heavenly Court are the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen of Heaven, who are in charge of all the affairs of the Three Realms.
The supreme lord of the underworld is the Emperor of the Underworld and the Reincarnation Niangniang, who is in charge of the yin spirits in the world.
Under it are the Five Emperors, the Ten Palaces of Yama, the Four Great Judges, and countless ghosts.
However, these are all what Jiang Chen saw in the Dao Collection, whether this is made up by cultivators or real, I'm afraid no one can say.
But there are gods of the city, the land, the mountains, the rivers, and so on, and that is not to be true.
"Huh?"
"No, how can ordinary people see ghosts?"
Jiang Chen asked.
"Maybe I passed by a willow forest that day, and the willow leaves rubbed my eyes, so I could see the ghost."
"Willow leaves wipe eyes, cow tears, dog bloody eyes, swallowing crow eyes, etc., these are all folk ghosts, maybe more than ordinary people use this method to see ghosts and gods, but we warriors can really see it."
"I even killed a few imps, and they were blown away by me with a punch of qi and blood."
"But if I encounter a powerful ghost who can do magic, then I can't fight."
Wang Meng explained.
Jiang Chen nodded when he heard this, these methods can indeed make the martial artist temporarily open his yin and yang eyes and see ghosts.
But ordinary people can't see ghosts even if they use this method, because they don't have enough heaven and earth vitality in their bodies.
Cow tears, black dog blood, willow leaves, crow eyes, etc. are actually just mediums, and what can really make people see ghosts clearly is the vitality of heaven and earth, which temporarily helps people open the eyes of yin and yang.
But this way of opening yin and yang eyes is very short-lived and will not last long.
Chenghuang and his ghosts may have known that Wang Meng was patrolling around the Chenghuang Temple, but they didn't think that Wang Meng would be able to see what they were doing, because they knew that Wang Meng was just an ordinary warrior and had no way to see ghosts.
But they didn't count it after a thousand calculations, Wang Meng opened his yin and yang eyes!
The city god eats ghosts, it is indeed a bit abnormal!
Suddenly, Jiang Chen seemed to think of something, and Wang Meng seemed to have thought of something, and the two said in unison:
"The souls of the dead warriors in Changfeng County were eaten by the city god!"
For a while, cold sweat broke out between the two.
If the city god is just some evil ghosts or lonely ghosts, it doesn't hurt.
But what if his appetite grows bigger and bigger, and ordinary ghosts can't satisfy his appetite more and more?
So he aimed at the warriors of Changfeng County!
