Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

Chengping Mansion, the county seat of Shangyang County.

Outside the city gate, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove towards the city gate, and when the carriage reached the city gate, it was directly blocked by the crowded crowd at the city gate.

At this time, a bare hand lifted the curtain, and a voice came from inside: "I didn't expect the people of Shangyang County to become so prosperous now." ”

Hearing this, the groom sitting in front of the carriage turned his head sideways and said with a smile: "Miss, we are the closest to Wu'an Mansion here, since the Great Yuan Kingdom captured Wu'an Mansion, there have been refugees fleeing to Shangyang County in Wu'an Mansion.

So much so that over the years, the population of Shangyang County has skyrocketed several times. ”

"I see,"

The woman in the carriage nodded, "What are these people doing at the city gate?" ”

"Them?"

The groom looked at the crowd at the city gate and said with respect, "These are the pilgrims from the surrounding areas of Shangyang County who go to the City God Temple to offer incense. ”

"Pilgrims of incense?"

The woman in the carriage was slightly stunned, and then said disdainfully, "Pretend to be a ghost!" ”

Hearing this, the coachman seemed a little unhappy, and retorted, "Miss, this City God Temple is not pretending to be a ghost, the little one once saw someone turn into a white light and ascend to heaven after death. ”

Hearing the driver's words, the woman in the car suddenly lost interest in talking.

After all, they are ordinary people, and just a simple spell can bluff these people into kneeling and kowtowing.

"Let's go."

The woman spat out a sentence softly, "Go and see what this City God Temple looks like." ”

"Boom-"

The carriage drove slowly on the official road, but strangely, when the crowd touched the carriage, they all moved out of the way, and no one including the coachman noticed anything unusual.

In the county seat of Shangyang County.

The doors of a magnificent temple are open.

In front of the temple gate, a huge incense burner is facing the main hall gate, and the incense burner is full of incense, and the smoke is endless.

Passing through the first gate, there is a larger courtyard inside, and in the courtyard, a large hall of gold and splendor stands quietly.

Countless pilgrims saw this immortal hall, knelt down on the futon, kept bowing, and around the immortal hall, there were Taoist priests wearing uniform robes.

"Kneel—"

In front of the main hall, an elderly Taoist priest shouted.

Pilgrims hold incense in their hands, raise it above their heads, and then bow respectfully.

"Up!"

After kneeling three times and knocking nine times, the pilgrim door held the incense, walked out of the temple door in turn, and inserted the incense into the incense burner in front of the temple gate, and then left the City God Temple with a satisfied face.

"Let's let, let's let, let's go!"

Suddenly, a group of people rushed towards the temple with an elderly man on a stretcher.

When the pilgrims saw this, they skillfully moved out of the way, and their faces were full of excitement, as if they were expecting some miracle.

The stretcher was quickly carried into the temple.

In front of the immortal hall, several men carrying stretchers gently put down the stretcher, and then the middle-aged man led by him "poofed" and knelt down in front of Zhou Tongshu.

"Immortal Chief, my father is no longer good, please ask Immortal Elder to help him ascend to the Immortal Court!"

Hearing this, Zhou Tongshu, who was wearing a purple Taoist robe and holding floating dust, slowly walked in front of the old man who was holding a breath.

He glanced at Lao Suo's face and knew that as the middle-aged man said, he had a short life.

Immediately, Zhou Tongshu looked at the middle-aged man again and asked, "Report the name and place of origin of the pilgrim." ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly clenched his fists: "My father Zhang Xuewu is a person from Bagongzhuang in Shangyang County." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Tongshu pinched his fingers, nodded and said, "The incense is full, allow it to soar!" ”

"Thank you Immortal, thank you Immortal!"

The middle-aged man kowtowed, and when the old man on the stretcher heard this, he swallowed the last breath hanging in his mouth.

Strange to say, at the same time as Lao Suo swallowed his last breath.

In the sky above the immortal hall in front of him, a white light shot straight into the sky, passed through the clouds, and disappeared in front of everyone.

Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man cried with joy and kowtowed: "Thank you for the immortal growth!" ”

"Get up,"

Zhou Tongshu gently waved the floating dust in his hand, "As long as you offer incense in front of you, when the incense is full, you will naturally be able to ascend to the Immortal Court after death." ”

Hearing this, the pilgrims around were greatly encouraged and knelt down to bow to Zhou Tongshu.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Tongshu couldn't help but feel fluttering.

Compared with secretly summoning spirits in Yaojiang City, this way of making mortals fly to the immortal court is obviously more suitable for the work of conjuring spirits.

It's twilight.

With the last pilgrim leaving, Zhou Tongshu and the others finally finished their day's work.

Slowly closing the gate of the City God Temple, Zhou Tongshu couldn't help but look at the smoke above the Immortal Temple.

"Judge Zhou, what are you looking at?"

The one who spoke was a spiritualist beside Zhou Tongshu, but now they all have a new identity to the outside world, the Taoist priest of the City God Temple.

The title of Judge Zhou is obviously the title of Zhou Tongshu in Yaojiang City before.

"How many times have you said it, call me Zhou Miaozhu!"

"Yes, Zhou Miaozhu."

The paper puppet hurriedly changed his title.

Seeing this, Zhou Tongshu nodded with satisfaction, and then, he pointed to the smoke that was gathering more and more above the Bliss Spirit House, and frowned: "Don't you think there is something wrong with these things?" ”

"Zhou Miaozhu, what can be wrong with these incense?"

"Can I not know it's incense?"

Zhou Tongshu glared at the other party, "I mean, how can these incense flames condense above the immortal hall and not disperse, and even the wind can't blow away!" ”

"This"

The Daoist priest of the City God Temple was dumbfounded.

As Zhou Tongshu said, these incense flames are condensed but not dispersed, as if they are attached to the Bliss House.

"Don't make any trouble."

Zhou Tongshu felt a little uneasy in his heart.

There are 27 counties in the four prefectures of Lizhou, and if it is said that it is most dangerous to build a city god temple in which county, it is undoubtedly Shangyang County.

Because Shangyang County is adjacent to Wu'an Mansion, and Wu'an Mansion has now been taken by Dayuan, and a large number of Holy Blood Sect monks are stationed.

It can be said that the construction of the City God Temple in the county seat of Shangyang County is tantamount to making a small move under the nose of the Holy Blood Sect.

Don't look at Zhou Tongshu pretending to be a ghost in front of mortals, but he doesn't have many means himself.

Not to mention that when he encounters a foundation building monk, or when he encounters a late-stage Qi cultivation monk, he is not an opponent.

The only thing Zhou Tongshu can rely on is a few of your Dharma Protector puppets in the Bliss Spirit House, that is, the Sword Immortal Puppet.

It's just that these sword immortal puppets can't be controlled at will at will with Zhou Tongshu's ability.

In order to control these sword immortal puppets, Zhou Tongshu had to silently call the name of Guangyuan Ancestor in the Bliss Spirit House, which was very cumbersome.

But this is also something that can't be helped, who made Zhou Tongshu's soul too weak, no different from mortals.

It was too difficult for him to control the Sword Immortal puppet in the foundation building period, and it was far less convenient and easy to control than his Qi cultivation level paper body.

Just as Zhou Tongshu frowned and pondered.

On the horizon, a faint light flew towards the City God Temple.

In the blink of an eye, the light fell on the City God Temple, revealing the delicate figure of the person.

"Fairy Mu!"

Seeing Mu Qingyan, Zhou Tongshu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately bowed to her.

"Zhou Miaozhu doesn't have to be polite."

Mu Qingyan raised her hand slightly.

In a year, with the help of the Soul Fixing Pill, Mu Qingyan finally broke through to the Jindan stage.

At this point, the second Jindan monk finally appeared under the command of Guangyuanzi.

Mu Qingyan's divine sense swept slightly, and then a sword light pierced out, only to see a flying sword go straight to the outside of the City God Temple.

About five miles away from the City God Temple, a figure just wanted to escape with a flying sword, but was cut off by Mu Qingyan's flying sword.

"Zhou Miaozhu, you seem to have a lot of flies here."

Hearing this, Zhou Tongshu showed a depressed look, and arched his hand: "Fairy Mu, forgive me, my subordinates are too shallow, and in the face of these immortal methods, I really can't resist it." ”

Hearing this, Mu Qingyan nodded.

She knew that Shangyang County was adjacent to Wu'an Mansion, which was the most dangerous place in the Immortal Court's sphere of influence.

Zhou Tongshu was able to establish the City God Temple here with the strength of Qi cultivation period, which was already a bold man.

Who can guarantee that there will not be a Jindan period monk of the Holy Blood Sect who will directly take Zhou Tongshu's life here?

Not to mention the Jindan period monk, even the foundation building period monk who had just been killed by Mu Qingyan, Zhou Tongshu couldn't detect the slightest.

Seeing Zhou Tong's bitterness, Mu Qingyan raised her hand, only to see a quaint small tower appear in her palm.

Immediately after, the third-order silver-winged ants flew out of the small tower like heavenly soldiers.

The number of these third-order silver-winged ants was not large, only ten, and as soon as this group of third-order silver-winged ants flew out of the small tower, they flew into the Bliss Spirit House.

"These ten third-order silver-winged ants have memorized the breath of Ling, you can command them at will, with them, unless there are several Jindan monks attacking, the City God's Temple is safe."

As he spoke, Mu Qingyan handed over another jade bottle, "This bottle contains the feeding elixir for third-order silver-winged ants, each silver-winged ant eats one pill a day, don't forget to feed it." ”

Zhou Tongshu trembled and took the jade bottle handed by Mu Qingyan, and he was so excited that he couldn't get it enough.

Jindan period demon insects!

After following the Guangyuan Ancestor for so many years, Zhou Tongshu was no longer ignorant of the immortal cultivation realm, and he was very clear about the division of the realm of cultivators.

He also knew that the Guangyuan Ancestor he was following was a powerful figure in the immortal cultivation world.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Tongshu followed behind the other party with all his heart.

Because Zhou Tongshu understood that he was different from a real monk, because he had no spiritual root and no physical body, he couldn't cultivate at all.

And being unable to cultivate means that in another hundred years, his divine soul will be completely turned into ashes, just like all foundation building period cultivators.

If you want to live longer, the only way is to hold on to the big tree of Guangyuan Ancestor.

Suddenly, Zhou Tongshu remembered something and reported: "Fairy Mu, look." ”

After saying that, Zhou Tongshu stretched out his hand and pointed to the condensed incense above the Bliss Spirit House.

"It's."

Mu Qingyan gently beckoned to the incense on the roof of the Bliss Spirit, and the incense that did not disperse suddenly floated to Mu Qingyan's hand.

When she looked closely, she found that every wisp of incense in her hand was distinct, but it could be entangled and condensed into smoke.

It's not quite like the smoke left behind by burning incense.

For some reason, when Zhou Tongshu saw these incense gases, he instinctively gave birth to a trace of longing.

Immediately, he shook his head violently, scolding himself for being mad and interested in this ordinary smoke.

Mu Qingyan looked at the incense in her hand, and then she took out a bottle and put all the incense on the roof of the Bliss House into the bottle.

"I'll take these things back first."

"Congratulations to Fairy Mu!"

Seeing that Mu Qingyan was about to leave, Zhou Tongshu hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Mu Qingyan nodded, and immediately turned into a ray of light and left here.

In Shangyang County, in an inn about ten miles away from Mu Qingyan, a woman opened her eyes with a pale face and gasped violently.

"Jindan period monk, it's so dangerous!"

This Holy Blood Sect female cultivator was only a late-stage cultivator in the foundation building, but she relied on secret techniques to escape her life under Mu Qingyan's nose.

"No, you can't stay here, it's too dangerous!"

The Holy Blood Sect nun stood up, "The Sect Master suffered a lot of injuries in the Battle of Kyoto, and he has not yet been able to recover, so now is not a good opportunity to provoke Hiromotoko. ”

Thinking of this, this Holy Blood Sect female cultivator jumped from the window of the inn, and then took the magic weapon and flew in the direction of Wu'an Mansion.

Tai'an Province.

The headquarters of Xianting is located.

A flash of light landed in front of a palace.

Mu Qingyan lowered his light and walked straight into the palace.

"How's it going?"

In the palace, Guang Yuanzi sat on the lotus throne and looked at Mu Qingyan below.

"Childe!"

Mu Qingyan bowed, "The things have been handed over to Zhou Miaozhu." ”

Hearing this, Guang Yuanzi nodded.

Immediately, Mu Qingyan took out a jade bottle from the Qiankun ring.

The jade bottle was lifted by mana, and slowly flew towards Guang Yuanzi.

Guang Yuanzi took the jade bottle and looked at Mu Qingyan suspiciously.

"Childe, this is the incense gas obtained from Zhou Miaozhu, these incense gases are exactly the same as the incense gas condensed in the sky above the Chenghuang Temple in various prefecture cities and county towns."

Hearing this, Guang Yuanzi opened the jade bottle with a solemn expression, took out a wisp of incense, and looked at it carefully.

Half a day.

Guang Yuanzi was about to speak, and suddenly, his expression moved slightly.

The next moment.

Guang Yuanzi stretched out his palm, only to see a spiritual treasure-level Bliss Spirit House appear in his hand.

At the moment when this Elysium House appeared, a figure jumped out of the Elysium Spiritual House.

This person is none other than Guang Yuanzi, another general in the team of the soul envoy in Yaojiang City, Cui Yujie.

Unlike Zhou Tongshu who took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Shangyang County to serve as the temple secretary of the City God Temple, Cui Yujie served as the temple secretary of the City God Temple in Tai'an Mansion.

Seeing Guang Yuanzi, Cui Yujie was surprised at first, he didn't understand why he came to Guang Yuanzi in the blink of an eye in the City God Temple in Tai'an Mansion.

Guang Yuanzi didn't explain to him the magic of the teleportation channel, but just asked, "Cui Yujie, you are in a hurry to find this seat, what is the matter?" ”

Hearing Guangyuan Ancestor's question, Cui Yujie woke up like a dream, knelt down and kowtowed: "Ancestor, something happened."

Tai'an Fucheng.

A splendid temple of the city god stands in the city of Fu.

Compared with the county city god temple in Shangyang County, the city god temple in Tai'an Mansion covers a wider area and is more magnificent.

But at this moment, this City God Temple, which is located in the core area of the Immortal Court's power, is showing a lifeless appearance.
