Yundu City God's Temple, full of smoke.

When Song You walked here, it was already dark, there was only a very faint light between heaven and earth, and the glow made the background, and the outline of the building became clear, and it was vaguely recognizable that this was a newly built temple.

In the evening, there were people who came to offer incense, but it has not yet been burned, and the scarlet light dots are lit in the dark night, I don't know whether they came to pray for peace and blessings, or they were troubled by demons and evil spirits to ask for help from the city god.

At this time, there was no one on the mountain, only the Taoist with Tong'er, and a guide, walked up the stone steps.

The Taoist stopped at the door.

As usual, he looked up and made out the light carefully.

Written above the head is the three words "City God Temple".

There are still door links on both sides.

On the right is written:

Come in and touch your heart, you might as well repent and do good;

On the left is written:

When you go out to do good deeds, why do you use candles and incense?

“……”

The Taoist smiled slightly and stepped into the temple gate.

Even though this is the City God Temple, at night, a young man named Wang Xiaoman did not want to stay outside alone, so he followed the Taoist girl and stepped in.

"Hoo ......"

I saw that the temple was originally bright and dim, only a lantern that was less than the size of a bean was lit, which could illuminate a corner of the shrine, but as soon as I walked in, I felt that the divine light was flourishing, as if the lantern suddenly exploded into a non-scorching fire, although it was not scorching, but it was dazzling, accompanied by hazy smoke, which made people's eyes bloom.

When his vision recovered, the passerby found that the place where he was standing was not at all what he remembered about the City God Temple.

The newly built City God Temple in Yundu is not small, it looks very empty for a City God and two military attachés, and there is a small temple of the local shrine god outside, but no matter how big the temple is, there is only one palace, at best it is a larger room, and after adding miscellaneous things such as the statue of the god platform, there is not much room for it. However, the place in front of me is clearly a government hall, only the tables and chairs that deal with official documents and files, and the statues of the gods have all disappeared without a trace.

It's like the yamen of Yundu City.

At the same time, the temple, which was dim and dark just a moment ago, is now lit up brightly.

It's just that the light seems to be too bright, so bright that it is a little dazzling, and it seems that this light is unusual, and it is a flower itself, and the passer-by can't see it clearly.

The light is not clear, and the people under the light are not clear, everything becomes blurry, like looking at people through a layer of lake, the water waves are still shaking, and people are a little dizzy.

On the contrary, the sound is only a few echoes, barely recognizable.

There was a gray-white swaying figure standing in front of him, and there was a shorter figure beside him, which was also constantly swaying in the "water waves", probably the two he brought over, but there were two figures in front of him, one in front of him, one after the other, looking at the gait as if he was walking quickly, and he bowed slightly.

"Qiu Zhengzhen, the little god of the cloud capital, I don't know that Mr. is coming, and I am not welcomed."

"Humble Gu Siyang, I've seen Mr."

The passerby was shocked when he heard this.

"Qiu Zhengzhen ......"

This was the first time he had heard of the name of Lord Chenghuang.

Characters like Lord Chenghuang not only govern the affairs of the demons and ghosts in the underworld, but also become gods, how can he usually hear the name?

The other sounded like a priest in the temple.

But at this time, the two gods were extremely respectful.

Then I heard the voice of the Taoist in front of me:

"Song You, be polite."

"I've heard of Mr.'s merits."

"Chenghuang doesn't have to be polite, he just arrived in Yundu today, and he happened to meet a monster, and he caught it, remembering that it hadn't hurt anyone's life, and it was not easy to practice, so it was not easy to deal with it himself, so he brought it over and handed it to Qiu Chenghuang, and asked Chenghuang to deal with it according to the law."

The smaller figure next to him shook, as if the mouse had been pulled out of the blanket.

The leader heard the rat again.

"Squeak ......"

"Spare your life! Spare your life! ”

"Dare to ask sir, but the rat demon who came to the chicken and duck shop a few days ago?"

"Exactly."

"General Gu has just finished the matter at hand and recovered from his injury, and the little god is about to invite him to go to the Chicken and Duck Shop to catch this thing, but I didn't expect Mr. Lao to drive, I'm really ashamed."

"It's just a gesture, if Chenghuang really catches it first, we will lose a piece of fate."

"It's all small gods who don't do things well......"

"When Chenghuang first arrived, he didn't absorb enough incense, and his heels didn't stand firm, so he could make most of the monsters and ghosts in Yundu City less, which can already be regarded as a merit."

The sound of the conversation in front of us was still heard.

Yundu Chenghuang also has some understanding of this rat essence, and heard the Taoist tell him some of the actions of this mouse essence, so he asked the priest to take it down, saying that this mouse is just a fluke into a fine, in the wall behind the beam heard people say some fairy ghost words, believe it is true, in fact, do not know how to practice, it is not easy to read it into a fine, to try to persuade it to the right path, the merit is guilty, if not, it will be suppressed under the city god temple.

During the period, he also talked about himself.

Yundu Chenghuang is such an amazing immortal, and he actually politely asked that person who he was.

The Taoist said that he was just a mortal who led the way.

In this process, the attitudes of both sides are completely different from what the leader thought before.

However, I didn't expect to see Chenghuang with my own eyes.

In the past, he has also seen Taoist priests, folk gentlemen, sorcerers or goddesses invite God, and when they communicate with God, they either ask God to possess themselves, or through a wooden man, a grass man, or a paper man, or other medium such as incense ash copper coins, to get some revelations, how can anyone really call God to come and manifest himself?

Even if the Taoist said today that he would hand over this rat essence to the city god to send it down, he only thought that he would bring it to the city god temple, and it would be great to burn a stick of incense or something.

Even the mortal with him was stained with light, listening to the conversation between the Taoist and the gods.

It's just that the figures of the two are still blurry and swaying, and they can't see clearly.

The people who lead the way are well-informed, mixed in the cloud city well, often listen to these stories, guess that this is probably what others often say, their eight characters are not hard enough, and they are not worthy of looking at God, so even if they are stained with the light of the masters, they are lucky enough to enter the official office of the legendary City God, and they can't see the true face of the gods.

It's just that I don't know if there will be other blessings and benefits, or will there be less blessings or something for the loss of longevity?

"There are a lot of demons and evil in Yundu now?"

"Thanks to General Gu and General Fang, the demons and demons in the city have been almost eliminated, and even if they are not eliminated, they have found a way to expel them from the city, but they are just outside the city...... But it's too big, and there are a lot more demons and evil things than the little god originally thought, many of them are a little Taoist, the two generals haven't absorbed enough incense, and the divine power has decayed after leaving the city, even if the two work together, it is difficult to get rid of it. ”

"Chenghuang doesn't have to blame himself, this is normal." The Taoist said with a smile, "My two children, a Sanhua Niangniang, and a descendant of Yan Xian, all have the ability to eliminate demons, and they are about to go out of the city to get rid of demons, so I asked Chenghuang to sort out those particularly vicious monsters outside the city, make a list, write down the location, and from tomorrow, we will ask this little brother Wang to take us over and get rid of them one by one." For the people of Yundu, all the merits can be counted on the head of the City God Temple, so as to help the City God absorb incense, gain a firm foothold as soon as possible, and benefit the people. ”

"Thank you, sir......"

When the passer-by heard this, he realized that it was related to him.

I faintly felt that my eyes were on me, and I heard Yundu Chenghuang sigh that he was blessed, and then the two chatted a few more words, and then bowed to each other, as if they were saluting and saying goodbye.

The person leading the way still can't see clearly.

I even feel a little dizzy.

The whole thing was like a dream.

I only saw that the vague city god in front of him was still standing in place, and the Taoist had turned around, but his facial features were still not clear, and the passer-by vaguely knew that it was time for him to leave. But when he also turned around, ready to follow the Taoist outside, out of this official office, or he might have other feelings in his imagination, such as the Taoist would pull him or something, but nothing, and even before he walked out of the door of this official office, he saw that there was a darkness behind him, and there was also a darkness around him, as if someone had blown out the lights in the house, and the whole room was darkened.

It became dark, but it seemed to become clear.

When his eyes adjusted to the glimmer, he realized that he was standing in the City God Temple, with the threshold in front of him, and behind him was the shrine, the statue of the god, and the everlasting lantern that illuminated the corner of the shrine.

The statue of the city god sits in the middle, and the statues of the two military attachés next to it, under the reflection of the bean fire, the posture is half hidden and half visible, like a god living in the night sky overlooking the ground.

"Let's go......"

The voice of a Taoist came from beside him.

The face of the Taoist also became clear.

"Mr. ......"

"The feet are mortals, there is neither cultivation nor Taoism, and they can't enter the City God's Office casually, but after entering, they naturally can't see anything clearly, which is normal."

"Ah......h

The leader didn't know what to say.

Only stepping on his feet, as the Taoist stepped out of the temple, he was blown by the night breeze outside, a burst of wit, smelling the fragrance of the line coming from behind him, all around was a dim and clear world, in contrast, the bright and vague official office he saw was more like a dream.

It's like waking up in the middle of the night.

The Taoist with a bamboo cane has already descended the mountain.

The girl next to him also looked back at him.

The leader didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he hurriedly followed.

"Are you scared?"

"Afraid of what? Grandpa Chenghuang? Grandpa Chenghuang is a great benevolent person, and the Chenghuang who became a Chenghuang after death is to bless us, how can the villain be afraid? ”

"It's home alone."

"Alone ......"

The leader twisted his head and looked left and right.

The city was already completely dark, and in the faint light, every street and alley could be seen, but they could not be seen clearly, and they could not see the end, unlike during the day, at this time they were like a black hole without a bottom.

"The villain runs faster!"

"You can't."

"Don't dare to ......"

The leader swallowed his saliva and followed the Taoist.

I couldn't help but glance back at the City God Temple in the dark, and I had a faint feeling in my heart-

If, many years later, I tell the events of tonight to my children and grandchildren or to other people's little dolls, I will definitely describe it very realistically, and those little dolls will definitely feel extremely wonderful when they hear it.

The Taoist in front of him is a true immortal.
