Chapter 47: The City God and the Monk
This is the first time I've encountered something like this.
I was a little confused.
It wasn't until the voice of the middle-aged monk at the head came that I came back to my senses.
At this time, the entire temple was full of people.
Same as during the day.
The difference is that it is the corpses kneeling here during the day, but here it is me and the nine coffins.
The middle-aged monk was standing in front of the crowd at this time, and behind him were the other monks, who looked at the onlookers with a distressed look: "Donors. ”
"This man is the benefactor who killed the nine good men."
"When he came here yesterday, disguised as a beggar, and tried to destroy the corpse, he was expelled by us, and even a poor monk did not expect that a young man who was only eighteen or nineteen years old would commit such a heinous thing."
"Fortunately, Master Huijie discovered this son's disguise and finally captured this son last night."
"Today, a few poor monks are going to transform this son here, so as to help those nine good people to ascend to Bliss as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, I couldn't help but widen my eyes.
I subconsciously wanted to shout out if there is a royal law.
Just as I was about to open my mouth, I realized that my mouth was blocked at this time, and my voice directly turned into a whimper.
At this moment, my heart completely sank to the bottom.
I thought I'd die.
But I didn't think it would be such an aggrieved way to die.
Godfather counts the world.
Why didn't you think I would be so doomed?
I want to cry without tears.
But at this moment, I suddenly saw a figure.
He walked straight up to the monks and said with a look of some displeasure: "Nine people have just died here, and Lord Chenghuang doesn't want to see blood again." ”
"And those nine people were obviously killed by sharp weapons at the same time, this young man doesn't necessarily have that ability."
Hearing this, I nodded again and again.
No one paid attention to me though.
And this person is none other than the old man.
It's just that at this time he gave me a strange feeling, before he gave me an unfathomable feeling, I called him Chenghuang and he didn't deny it, but now, he gave me the feeling that he was indeed a person.
But now I just wanted to be rescued, and I didn't think much about it, so I began to struggle, and with great effort, I finally spit out the contents of my mouth.
"This group of monks is not human!"
I shouted at the first moment.
But as soon as I shouted it, I regretted it.
These monks obviously have a lot of prestige here, otherwise they would not have dared to be so arrogant in this city god's territory, and the onlookers standing outside are most likely believers in these monks.
I say this.
Isn't that self-deprecating?
Who would believe it?
Sure enough.
As soon as I said this, all eyes looked at me in unison, and some onlookers shouted directly: "You must not let this beggar go." ”
"How dare this beggar insult the masters like this!"
"Kill him!"
"That's it, kill him!"
The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, this group of people is really pious enough.
But now I'm learning to be obedient, and although I'm tempted to tell me what I saw last night, it's clear that in this case, if I say anything more about the monk's badness, I'll die a minute early.
I simply shut my mouth and put my hope in the old man.
It doesn't matter if he's the city god or not.
At least his appearance keeps me from being killed right now, and even if his current identity is not a city god, just the temple keepers of this city god temple, those monks are estimated to have to give face.
I guessed correctly, the old man's words made the middle-aged monk silent, and after looking at me, he sighed: "Old donor, you are the temple keeper of this City God Temple, since you have spoken, since the poor monk should indeed give you some thin noodles in this matter." ”
When the old man heard this, he said unceremoniously: "Old man, I don't have such a big face. ”
"It's just that this is the temple of the City God after all, and now there are nine lives, if you see blood again, the consequences are unimaginable."
"Even if this young man really has something to do with the death of those nine people, you can't be here if you want to deal with it."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you face."
The middle-aged monk was not angry, and said calmly: "My Buddha is merciful, and the poor monk naturally doesn't want to hurt people's lives out of thin air, but those nine donors are good people in my temple and have a relationship with my Buddha, but now they are dying, and they have to give them an explanation." ”
When I heard this, I cursed my mother in my heart.
You have to hand it over, don't take me with you!
Fortunately, the old man didn't follow this set of rhetoric, and his face was still cold: "You have to explain, it's your business, out of here, what do you do, I can't care about the old man." ”
"But if you're going to make another deal here to accept your fate."
"Don't blame the old man, I'm going to destroy the five temples you have built here!"
"Donor, why do you have to do this?" The middle-aged monk's face was a little cold, but maybe it was because there were too many people here, and he was still smiling.
The old man snorted coldly and did not speak again, but walked directly towards me.
When I saw this, I was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, help me loosen it, I really didn't kill people." ”
I thought that the old man would just let me go, but he picked me up at once, and then dragged me outside the temple in front of the monks.
I was just dumbfounded.
"Not ......"
"Uncle, aren't you trying to save me?"
The old man said lightly: "As long as you don't die here, where you die, what does it have to do with the old man." ”
Am I special?
I was about to speak, but the monks came over.
The middle-aged monk glanced at me and said, "Since the old donor insisted, the poor monk will not create and kill here today, but the nine good people will always be comforted in the spirit of heaven, and ask the old donor to let the city god here be accommodating." ”
"The poor monk thanked me here!"
After saying that, the middle-aged monk left directly, and several other monks lifted me up from both sides, and at the same time blocked my mouth again.
Now I kind of get it.
I'm a fish on the chopping board now, and unless I can loosen the rope, the monks will kill me at any time.
But I'm not nervous at this point.
In those words between the two, I got some information.
Now that the nine people died in this City God Temple, it is already the limit, and it is also the beginning of the City God's decapitation sacrifice, before the end of the decapitation sacrifice, if there is another human life here, the decapitation may have problems.
The old man during the day may indeed not be a city god.
But it must have been instructed by the Chenghuang.
As for the monks......
Most people know the reason for the occurrence of the severed head sacrifice.
Their purpose may be to destroy the severed head sacrifice of the city god and prevent the city god from changing his life!
Thinking of this, I suddenly understood why Chenghuang wanted me to bring these monks.
