It's obviously a fateful sentence.

But when he said it, it gave me a very indifferent feeling.

It was as if he had known that he would have such a day, or rather, he had already prepared to die.

A generation of city gods.

Are you going to disappear into this world?

I looked at him.

His gaze finally fell on the ghost-headed jade seal.

I thought for a moment and asked, "You say, I have a qualification to designate a City God?" ”

He nodded slightly.

"Yes!"

"With the ghost head jade seal, you are actually already the acting city god of this Baiyun Town, in this Baiyun Town, a hundred ghosts will not invade, if you die in this Baiyun Town, you will automatically become the city god of this Baiyun Town."

"It's just that when you're alive, it's more of a symbol, and some power."

"What if I designate you as the City God?" I asked.

The old man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "That is naturally meaningless." ”

"Chenghuang is just a yin god, in essence, he is actually a list of ghosts, but he is only ordered by heaven to have this yin god fruit position, and as the years go by, as long as he is not a real immortal god, he will not be able to escape the fate of his soul after all."

"Even if you bestow me the body of the city god on behalf of the heavens, it won't be long before I die."

"My life has long come to an end, unless I am sacrificed by severed heads, I can live for a few more decades, but after all, I have not succeeded, and I am destined to fail."

The old man's eyes were a little darker, and at the same time he looked at me with a satisfied face, "If you have such thoughts, I don't have any regrets in my life." ”

"After I leave, you have a year, in this year, even if there is no city god in this Baiyun Town, it can still be peaceful, if a year later, you can't find a new city god."

"Baiyun Town will become a ghost."

"You're running out of time!"

Hearing this, my eyelids couldn't help jumping, and I immediately wanted to throw away this hot potato, but the old man seemed to understand my thoughts, and said with a smile: "Zhang Huaitian asked you to come here." ”

"In fact, it's also this ghost-headed jade seal."

"With it, at least for a year, you'll be safe."

"The road of sacrificial wine must contain endless hardships and dangers, if there is no life-saving thing, it is almost impossible to go down this road with your current ability."

It turns out that this is what Godfather meant by asking me to come here?

I fell silent.

I don't think he's false.

He didn't have to lie to me with his godfather.

After sighing slightly, I put away the ghost head jade seal, "I understand." ”

When the old man heard this, he nodded and smiled: "Since you understand, let's do it." ”

I smiled wryly, "How can you let me do it?" ”

The old man said indifferently: "You don't need to have too many ideas. ”

"Now I, every time I live in this world for a few more moments, it is a torment, and if you kill me, for me, it is a kind of screenshot."

"It's also a ......"

"You declare like the world."

"Sacrificial wine, born!"

The birth of sacrificial wine?

I took a deep breath, and at this time, no matter how stupid I was, I could understand that whether it was my godfather who asked me to come here, or the city god in front of me, everything they did was for me.

Can......

Is it worth it?

Am I worth it for them to do this?

"Little one."

"To each man has a life."

"There is also a cause and effect."

"It is also a good thing for me that my life falls into your hands today, because you will inherit my cause, and you will bear the fruit of this cause in this life."

"I see." I nodded slightly.

"What should I do?"

"Burn down the temple." The old man said, sitting cross-legged behind the offering table, where incense should have been strong in the past, but now it is full of depression.

I didn't ask any more questions, turned around and walked out of the City God Temple.

It wasn't until I reached the temple gate that I bowed down to the temple and spoke.

"Please ......"

"Chenghuang is on the road!"

As my voice fell, the whole temple began to burn in the fire folds I had thrown, but to my surprise, the original black had a touch of red at this moment.

It's just that the red color did not completely cover the entire City God Temple, but only dyed the entire temple gate red.

Maybe even God knows it.

Even if he committed the Nine Realms of Murder.

He is still for the people of Baiyun Town, and he is still responsible as a city god.

He is worthy of the status of a city god.

It took me a long time to straighten up.

At this time, the lame dog came up to me, and I looked at it, was silent for a while, and then took it in my arms.

According to my godfather, I should have killed it.

It's just that I can't bear to kill it.

I didn't know what kind of dog it was, but I knew in my heart that it wasn't damned.

"From now on, you can follow me."

I looked at it and said.

This is also the first time I have come this way, and I don't want to do it according to my godfather's arrangement.

I don't know what the consequences will be, but I do know that if I kill it, there will probably be a thorn in my heart, and that thorn will be there for a long, long time.

The lame dog let out a whimper, but kept its eyes fixed on the burning temple, its eyes full of sadness, and it took a while for it to withdraw its gaze and put its head on me, as if it did not want to look any further.

"Since I don't want to see it, let's go."

With that, I didn't linger any longer, and turned around with it in my arms and walked in the direction outside Baiyun Town.

This trip here made me feel more complicated than I thought.

I saw it.

Heard.

Understood.

It was far more than I expected.

I thought it would be a life-or-death crisis to come here, and it would take a lot of effort for me to unravel everything here.

When I met the old man and knew that he was the city god, I also felt the same way.

Even when I knew that the five monks were the five ghosts, I thought so.

However, the truth was beyond my expectations.

Although there was no danger, I was not happy at all.

It wasn't until I walked out of Baiyun Town that I gradually came out of this mood, and the lame dog still looked sad, and it was in my arms, sobbing quietly.

Like people.

I'm crying.

I sighed and said, "As he said, this is also a relief for him. ”

"You don't have to be too upset."

"Next, we're new partners."

As I spoke, my godfather appeared in my mind at the same time.

Linjiang corpse, lame dog, city god temple.

I've done these three things now.

It's time to go back and meet your godfather.

"Come with me."

"I'll take you home!"
