Chapter 112: City God Temple
Lin Chunxi and others all felt that there was a very important time node, that is, the City God Temple outside the capital, because the previous five corpses were found here, and not long after that, new incidents of child theft began to occur according to the pattern of the five elements, so it was necessary to conduct an exploration of the City God Temple.
Given that the inn had been monitored by various forces at this time, Lin Chunxi and the others decided to sneak out quietly at night later. They ordered the dishes early, let the store send to the guest room, after a simple meal, closed the door and no longer went out, in the evening, more and more people came to the inn to stay and eat, for a time the store was full of traffic, so lively, no one cared about a few people dressed very ordinary, left the inn with front and back feet, they were Lin Chunxi, Chen Yiyao, Lu Ling and Tao Ye, these people's light body skills are not low, suitable for night action, the other few people stayed to guard the store, and the most important thing is to protect the notes brought back by Xue Lingheng, the people in the store may not be aware of it, but some people with Taoist skills can see that the inn at this time has been arranged with a formation, this is naturally the masterpiece of Xue Lingheng and Lu Yiru, if someone dares to break through, they will definitely be counterattacked by the formation.
Lin Chunxi and the others guessed correctly, there are many people outside the store who are staring at every move in the store, and they are also holding each other back, it seems that it is calm, but in fact, there are swords and swords hidden under the calm surface, and even when the pedestrians on the street do not pay attention, there have been several small-scale battles quietly, and both sides have killed and injured each other, but these are secret battles, and they are not known to outsiders. The strange atmosphere in the capital of Wu has lasted for several months, since the old emperor said that he was sick, up to the height of the temple, down to the streets and alleys of the market, there is a faint brewing of this strange atmosphere, everything seems very subtle, whether it is the ministers who have been in the court for a long time, or the businessmen who are often floating and sinking in the sea of commerce, they have all noticed the subtlety of things, they have tacitly chosen to be silent, they can try not to speak if they can not speak, as far as possible not to choose to stand in line, and all parties have kept a distance not far away, ordinary people may not have this feeling, and think that everything is as before, in fact, the air has long been filled with this bloody smell。
Lin Chunxi and the others dressed up in disguise and quietly mixed out of the inn in batches, and the parties who were waiting outside did not notice it, and when they found out that the situation was wrong, these people had already left far away, and it was too late to trace them at this time. The four of them did not travel together, but chose four directions to go out of the city, and after each of them made sure to get rid of the stalkers, they began to converge in the direction of the City God Temple outside the capital, and after the sky had completely darkened, the four of them gathered on a hill less than two miles outside the City God Temple.
After the four of them had gone through some makeup, they all looked at each other's appearances and felt funny. In the past, there were many people coming and going in the City God Temple, and many people in the city, and even dignitaries and dignitaries had to come here to worship, especially during the New Year's Festival, and the rich families spent money to do the rituals continuously. This time is very late, there will be basically no one in the City God Temple to come again, occasionally there are incense worshippers, but it is also sparse to begin to go out, since this month, the City God Temple found several missing children's remains, caused a lot of sensation, everyone has regarded this place as a fierce place, no one will come here easily, especially those rich families, basically will not ask people here to do things, so the City God Temple at this time seems very deserted.

After Lin Chunxi and the others lurked in the dense forest outside the City God Temple for a while, after the people in charge of cleaning the City God Temple had also walked clean, they began to quietly walk out of the woods, and slowly entered the City God Temple along the shadows under the low wall. What I didn't expect is that the city god temple is much bigger than imagined, the room inside is tall, the entrance hall is also wide, you can imagine what kind of prosperous scene it is when the city god temple is prosperous here, now because there are few people coming and going, so under the background of the sunset, it seems a little desolate and dilapidated, but the furnishings inside are still relatively complete, and the cleaning is also clean.
In order to save time, Lin Chunxi asked several people to act separately to investigate the situation in the City God Temple, and after the other three people were ordered to leave, Lin Chunxi followed the central right path and walked to the hall of the City God Temple. The steps in the temple are very high and long, and in order not to expose his whereabouts as much as possible, Lin Chunxi did not move forward quickly, but chose to take the camp step by step, approaching the main hall little by little. The incense burner in the City God Temple is tall, there are still the remnants of ashes after burning incense and praying during the day, bursts of incense smoke can be vaguely smelled, Lin Chunxi walked through the corridor, and finally came to the main hall, because the light in the house was very dim, he polished a fire candle, and then the very faint light, little by little to search this gloomy hall, the hall is dedicated to this City God, and the two sides are also dedicated to the display of these many gods, the foot of the City God's foot incense burner is also dyed with a few incense, has burned to the bottom, bursts of fragrance floated all over the hall.
Lin Chunxi's attention was on the furnishings in the hall, he paid attention to every detail, looking for clues, and unconsciously the night outside the window was already a little dark, and the wide branches outside the hall were slightly swaying with the night breeze under the background of the moonlight, projecting in the hall, which seemed somewhat eerie and terrifying. Lin Chunxi was a cultivator, so naturally he didn't feel much afraid.
Maybe it was because of the light, Lin Chunxi suddenly felt that the vision in front of him was a little blurry, and then everything he saw in front of him began to shake, Lin Chunxi secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and suddenly felt that the sky was spinning in front of him, and the city god sitting in the hall not far away also seemed to move, opening his teeth and dancing claws, waving the steel whip in his hand, soaring into the air, and paving towards himself, the city god was huge and fierce, and he was shocked by the cold sweat behind Lin Chunxi, seeing that a huge figure had rushed to his eyes, Lin Chunxi suddenly felt that his legs were numb, and he couldn't exert his strength, when he subconsciously closed his eyes, he felt a fragrant wind behind him, Someone gently pulled his shoulder, although the action was very light, but the strength was not small, the other party gently lifted himself up, and then Lin Chunxi felt a cool breeze blowing from outside the hospital, the breeze blew, Lin Chunxi suddenly felt that he was much more sober.
