Chapter 489: Land Temple
Not long after the tax increase decree was issued, Liang Cheng heard that his reputation among the people of Wanghai City had developed towards a corrupt official, and even the half-built ancestral hall had been converted into a land temple, and he was relieved to be happy.
However, he was still a little uneasy in his heart, for fear that he would still have some tail in that temple, and when the time came, he would be caught by someone with a heart, so he changed his appearance on this day, began to pay a private visit to the micro-service, and went all the way out of the city to the land temple outside the city.
This time, Liang Cheng incarnated into a Confucian in Tsing Yi, with three locks of long hair floating on his chest, looking so similar to the enlightenment master of the Yanfu Realm, Qingxu Daochang.
I saw that he was in a dashing figure, and he did not hesitate to perform the small technique of lifting and longitudinating, and ran straight to the shore of the Xingyun Sea, because he knew that the small temple was built not far from the sea.
Because the people of Wanghai City originally believed that their city lord had the magic power to suppress the sea tribe, they chose the small temple not far from the sea, just like the Dragon King Temple, looking forward to this ancestral hall to play a great role in Zhenhai.
As a result, the plan did not change quickly, and now the ancestral hall of the city lord has been converted into a land temple, although it is a little embarrassing to face the sea, but everyone can't care about it, anyway, it is a place that has been chosen, and it is a waste to keep it.
So he built a small land temple casually, which not only seemed a little abrupt, but also looked very deserted, and basically there was no incense.
Liang Cheng stood at the door of the land temple and looked at it, and it can be seen that this place was originally built on a fairly wide area, and the tamped land was four or five acres in size, but unfortunately the plan was changed later, and finally a land temple with a radius of at most five or six zhang was built, and a large piece of solid land had to be idle, and it looked bare and quite an eyesore.
However, Liang Cheng was very satisfied with this, and slowly walked into the temple to take a look, and saw that the structure inside was very simple, except for a small offering table, which was molded with a clay figure in the innermost, which was about the land father-in-law praised by the people.
It's just that this land lord is burly, with hard lines on his face, and he looks five or six points similar to Liang Cheng.
Slightly different is that this father-in-law of the land was put on a long beard and wore a rather funny hat on his head, which looked nondescript, obviously in order to save money, the statue originally molded into Liang Cheng was transformed into the father-in-law of the land.
Liang Cheng sighed, thinking that this is indeed the case, everything still has to be serious so as not to make mistakes, the image of this land, removing the beard, is clearly seven or eight points similar to himself, if it is discovered and reported by someone with a heart, it will be a crime to catch the wind and shadows for himself.
Fortunately, this loophole was discovered in time now, and it is easy to make up for it now, such a thing is too simple for a monk like Liang Cheng who has an earth-based spiritual root.
I saw Liang Cheng take up a small earth-based technique, reach out and hold down one foot of the clay sculpture of the land, and the figure of the clay sculpture began to change at will with Liang Cheng's thoughts.
Liang Cheng first changed the figure of this clay sculpture to a short and fat shape, and then began to carefully shape the face, at this time Liang Cheng thought for a while, and shaped the image of this clay sculpture into the appearance of Elder Zhao who he knew when he was in the Yuyang faction.
After the molding, Liang Cheng looked at the familiar face, and his heart was a little sad, so he lit the incense candle, and bowed silently, thinking that he had affected the Yuyang faction at the beginning, causing this small sect to be completely destroyed, if Elder Zhao had a spirit in the sky, he might as well come and enjoy some incense.
Liang Cheng stood quietly for a moment, prayed silently in his heart, saw that there was nothing wrong in the four places, and then left the Land Temple and came to the seaside not far away.
Liang Cheng stood on the beach and looked at the seascape for a while, and found that the Nebula Sea is more lively now, and he can see a lot of small boats driving on the sea, and he doesn't know whether the monks are going out to sea to hunt sea beasts or mortals fishing.
This kind of scene shows that the current sea clan demon cultivators are basically no longer active in the coastal sea, let alone go ashore to disturb them, but how long this situation can last, Liang Cheng's heart is not bottomed.
Because he vaguely felt that the Sea Clan would not give up so simply, and would not give up such a large sea area so easily, they were probably still coveting the things in the Chengtian Tower, but they were not sure of the strength of the garrison of Wanghai City, so they stopped for the time being, maybe they were secretly looking for opportunities.
Because thinking about the current situation of the Sea Clan, Liang Cheng suddenly remembered one thing, that is, what was the current situation of the stone box in the Demon Cave.
At that time, after leaving the Fumo Cave, he instructed Shu Tuan to send someone to guard this big stone box, and then asked Shu Tuan many times, and the reply he got was that everything was normal, because Shu Tuan was shrewd and capable, Liang Cheng had always been very relieved, so he didn't go to check how this matter was doing.
After a long time, Liang Cheng himself almost forgot about this matter, I don't know what the real situation of the Fumo Cave is now, Liang Cheng thought to himself, he had only learned a lesson in the Land Temple before, and everything still had to be seen with his own eyes to be at ease, now that he has walked to the beach, it is not far from the Fumo Cave, why not take advantage of the situation to take a look.
Just do it, so Liang Cheng pulled out his legs and walked in the direction of the Demon Cave, the speed was extremely amazing after the method of moving up and shrinking, and he came to a place not far from the Demon Cave in a few clicks, Liang Cheng stood still, and then took up the insight into the situation of the Demon Cave across the hill.
Because the opening of this Demon Cave is facing the sea, it is difficult to see the situation at the entrance of the cave when coming by land, but Liang Cheng sees it through insight into the Heavenly Eye, so there is no such problem.
The first thing that appeared in Liang Cheng's field of vision was a few piles of deer and a well-built fortress, and there were also horses in the middle, blocking the entrance of the Demon Cave, and there were six soldiers guarding the entrance of the cave, although these soldiers had a relaxed attitude, but the location had defended the entrance of the cave very well, and they were stationed in this place all the year round, and this attitude was also considered to be a good discipline.
Liang Cheng then looked into the cave and found that when he entered the depth of about ten zhang in the Fumo Cave, a row of dwellings and sentry posts were also built according to the terrain, and six soldiers were also stationed.
Liang Cheng could see from his observation that the main role of these six soldiers was not to intercept the enemy who might attack the cave, but they were actually guarding an alarm device, through which the alarm could be immediately sent to the six soldiers stationed in a fortress on the top of the mountain.
And if these six soldiers receive the alarm, they will immediately light wolf smoke or release fireworks to warn Wanghai City, which is not too far away, so that these soldiers and another group of soldiers stationed in the Fumo Cave can stand firm and wait for help.
Liang Cheng had heard what Shu Tuan said about the general arrangement in the Demon Cave, and now he was very satisfied after seeing the actual situation, thinking that Shu Tuan was really meticulous in doing things, and after this arrangement, fifty or sixty soldiers were stationed here, divided into two shifts to take turns to garrison and monitor, which was obviously very safe.
It seems that the situation in the Demon Cave is as Shu Tuan said, everything is indeed normal, this kind of defense is very safe, from the outside, even Liang Cheng can't find anything wrong.
But today Liang Cheng is here to get to the bottom of the matter, although there is no problem with the deployment of the Demon Cave from the outside, but Liang Cheng still plans to go into the bottom of the cave to see the situation of the stone box with his own eyes, and then take a look at the formation arranged there by Shu Tuan.
In fact, Liang Cheng planned to enter the Demon Cave for another reason, that is, to find a clue to the Chaos Stone, the last time he came here, because there were a lot of situations, plus with a large group of people, he finally had no time to find the clues of the Chaos Stone.
I only remember that I once felt an aura similar to the Chaos Stone, and I didn't have time to study it at the time, and I forgot about it afterwards and put it on hold for a long time.
Since he is here today, he can go in and check it carefully, so Liang Cheng first recovered his appearance, and then walked towards the entrance of the Demon Cave.
Liang Cheng's tall figure turned the col along the path, and when he appeared not far from the entrance of the Fumo Cave, he immediately aroused the vigilance of the garrison soldiers, only to hear a soldier who looked like a squad leader shouting loudly: "Those who come stop, according to the order of the city lord, the Fumo Cave is now a forbidden area, and idle people are not allowed to enter!"
Liang Cheng smiled and stood still, letting the soldiers look at him carefully, and sure enough, after a while, the squad leader was surprised: "Hey, you are the city lord?"
Liang Cheng said: "It's me, I happened to be passing by here today, by the way, let's take a look at the situation in the Demon Cave, it seems that your guards are very serious and have done a good job! Now I can go over, right?"
"Of course, of course. The squad leader was a little flustered, and hurriedly said: "Lord City Lord, please come in, subordinates and others greet Lord City Lord!" The five soldiers on the side saw that it was indeed the City Lord who came, and hurriedly clasped their fists together to salute.
Liang Cheng walked over, looked around, and nodded: "Very good, you are doing a good job! continue to do your thing, leave me alone, I'll take a walk inside." ”
The six soldiers clasped their fists and said, "Yes!"
Liang Cheng nodded, and continued to walk towards the cave, in fact, he had already seen that there was still a soldier hidden in the deer, and did not come out to see him, thinking that this soldier must be a secret sentry laid by Shu Tuan, according to the regulations, it is not allowed to come out casually, once the six soldiers outside have an accident, this secret sentry will be responsible for issuing the final alarm.
It seems that Shu Tuan is really meticulous in his work, this arrangement is very good, Liang Cheng is satisfied, naturally there is no need to break it, so he walked all the way to the demon cave.
The soldiers in the ambush inside should have received the information from the outside, and they already knew that the city lord had personally come to inspect the Demon Cave, and hurriedly sent people to meet them, but only the six people on the surface came out together, and the secret sentry that should not be exposed was still not exposed, and it seemed that the discipline was still very strict.
Liang Cheng casually condoled a few words of condolences to these soldiers, and then ordered them to go back to their posts without accompanying themselves, and then walked all the way to the innermost part of the Demon Cave.
