Chapter 6 The City God

"Hey, where is that basement you were talking about?" asked the Taoist priest, following behind the red-clothed female ghost.

"I remember it was here, why can't I find it now?" the female ghost in red looked around, her face confused.

Seeing that she didn't look like she was lying, the Taoist priest frowned slightly and looked around.

After a moment, the Taoist priest chuckled and said, "I think I know where the basement you mentioned is." ”

"Where?" said the female ghost in red, puzzled, "Is there anything special about that place?"

The Taoist priest showed an unfathomable expression and said: "There are some special places in the world, either when the yang energy is strong, or when the yin energy is heavy, it is impossible to observe what the conditions for the formation of these places are, but without exception, they are places where danger and opportunity coexist. ”

The female ghost in red opened her mouth in surprise, her eyes sparkled, and asked, "That means we have found the treasure, right?"

The Taoist priest smiled and nodded, "That's true, but only if we don't die inside." ”

The female ghost in red thought for a moment and asked, "Is it dangerous inside?"

The Taoist priest pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "The danger is not so dangerous, with my cultivation of the poor Dao, there should be nothing to do." ”

Saying that, the Taoist priest paused for a moment, looked at the female ghost in red before continuing: "But you are not necessarily, although your strength is okay, but you know too little about all kinds of information. ”

The female ghost in red puffed out the corners of her mouth in dissatisfaction.

The Taoist priest smiled at her, "In other words, if you are from a wild road, there is a chance that you will not be able to get out of it, otherwise it is estimated that the place will not be able to become a shape." ”

"Huh, didn't you say you didn't know how it came to be?" said the woman in red, surprised.

The Taoist priest smiled slightly, "I still know a little bit, take a magic weapon as the core, and then set up a mechanism, after a long time, it may become like that, the focus is on the location." ”

"What's the location?" asked the female ghost in red.

The Taoist priest's expression changed, and he said solemnly: "The position where there are many dead people." ”

"So, a lot of people have died here?" the female ghost in red looked around.

The Taoist priest waved his hand, "Don't look at it, it can't be formed in a few decades, it will take at least a thousand years, and it is estimated that there was a big war here before." ”

The female ghost in red was surprised, "Will it take that long?"

You just don't care how many people die......

Looking at the difference in the reaction of the female ghost in red before and after, the Taoist priest silently complained in his heart:

Okay, you don't care how many people die, but you care about time, it's really a ghost.

"For us, time should still wait, if we really want, we can plan one. The Taoist priest said helplessly.

Then I saw that the female ghost in red was interested, and she asked excitedly, "Really? Teach me!"

The Taoist priest's face darkened, and he said angrily: "Poor Dao is not a ruthless person, how can he tell you this?"

Besides, I don't know, it sounds easy to say that, but who knows how!

No, I don't know......

Seeing that the Taoist priest refused to say, the female ghost in red is energetic, the more you don't say it, the more I want to know!

"You owe me something, I think I know what to ask you to do. The woman in red laughed.

Seeing that the female ghost in red was confident, the Taoist priest simply stopped pretending, and spread his hands and said, "That's useless, I don't know anything at all." ”

"Huh?" The female ghost in red blinked, and then said, "Then help me get that thing out, this can always be done." ”

Then she saw the Taoist priest shake his head.

The female ghost in red was dissatisfied now, "You talked about it before, so it's such a dish!"

"Hey," the Taoist priest was anxious, "why don't you know how to be a ghost, I shook my head and said that you don't need to say that I'm going to get it out! That thing is still valid! You don't want to forget it." ”

The female ghost in red was stunned, it turned out that the Taoist priest was such a good ghost? I actually misunderstood him!

Suddenly, her eyes changed, her expression became vigilant, she looked at the Taoist priest and said, "You shouldn't have any other ideas, right?"

???

The Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Okay, I didn't expect that in your heart, the poor Dao would be such a villain!

said that the Taoist priest was about to leave, but in fact, he observed the reaction of the female ghost in red.

I saw the female ghost in red leaning back slightly, holding her arms and looking at the Taoist priest, with a smile on her face.

"You go, don't come back if you leave!"

Well, there's something wrong with the lines.

The Taoist priest sighed twice in his heart, and his figure continued to move away.

"Alas, alas, I was wrong, okay, come back quickly, and we'll go on an expedition in the evening!"

When the Taoist priest heard this, he became even more angry, and his steps became faster.

The female ghost in red sighed helplessly, and then followed.

[Interested in participating in the 'Hyakki Night Walk'?]

A line of text suddenly appeared in the eyes of the Taoist priest and the female ghost in red, and both of them were in their hearts, and they drank: "Who?!"

"I'm here, you can't see me, because I don't have a body"

"What kind of ghost are you?" asked the female ghost in red.

The Taoist priest turned around and looked at her angrily, what kind of ghost is there!

"Are you a human or a ghost?" the Taoist priest began.

[Who doesn't have a body?]

"Then the ghost?" the Taoist priest asked.

[Not at all, I'm actually a ghost!]

"Ghost?" The Taoist priest and the female ghost in red were stunned for a moment, the two looked at each other, and the Taoist priest frowned and asked, "What is that?"

[It's almost the same as a ghost, huh, it seems to be a ghost, hey, forget it or be honest, in fact, I'm from heaven!]

"Heavenly Dao?" The Taoist priest and the female ghost in red were stunned again, what is that?

[Huh, don't you even have that to say?] Then I'm a god. 】

"God?" the Taoist priest and the red-clothed female ghost were stunned again.

God and the two ghosts have heard of it, but they have never seen it! Besides, aren't gods all used to deceive ordinary people? No one has ever seen a god! It is better to worship a god than to exercise every day!

If this thing is a god, then why does he say that he doesn't have a body?" thought the Taoist priest and the female ghost in red.

[I don't know this?ahhhh

Seeing this, the Taoist priest and the female ghost in red nodded, they are not fools, of course they can understand this.

[Na Na Na, are you interested in participating in the 'Hundred Ghosts Night Walk'?]

"What is this?" asked the female ghost in red, curious.

The Taoist priest is also very interested, the two ghosts have already checked the surrounding situation, and they have found nothing, since this is the case, they can only follow the words of others, of course, there is still vigilance, and the possibility of someone making trouble cannot be ruled out.

['Hundred ghosts walk at night', that's the literal meaning. 】

"You're looking for a hundred ghosts?" the Taoist priest asked with a frown.

[That's right]

The female ghost in red asked curiously, "What are you looking for so many ghosts?"

[Hehe, don't you think it's very funny that a hundred powerful ghosts suddenly appear in a human town?]

The female ghost in red and the Taoist priest thought for a moment.

The female ghost in red's eyes lit up: It seems to be quite fun!

Taoist: Hehe, how many people would have to be scared to death?

"It's a bit expensive to go directly to the town, and the city gods are not vegetarians. The Taoist priest reminded.

Isn't that kind of thing casual, for you to solve it casually?]

The Taoist priest shook his head, "The power of the city god to collect people and worship is to control the ghosts, even if our strength is higher than theirs, we may not be able to win." ”

[Huh, were there any such powerful city gods in the past? Now there are a group of people who are obviously cowardly!]

As soon as these words came out, the female ghost in red was not very good, and the Taoist priest's eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

"What did you say?!"

[Chenghuang everywhere, no one believes it now, okay, now it's just a long time to survive. 】

"Why?" the Taoist priest asked.

[Who knows, all of a sudden, no one believes it, do you think the ghost is manipulating all this?]

The female ghost in red interjected, "Where exactly do you mean by 'City God' in various places?"

[Oops, oops, I was discovered]

The Taoist priest frowned slightly, "What's the matter? Could it be that you're just talking about a corner of the place?"

[That's not true, about one-third of the mainland is like this today.] 】

"That's fine. The Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief, only a third of the words, it was similar to before, after all, there were many places that couldn't "raise" things such as the city god before.

[Ahem, you seem to have misunderstood something]

Seeing this, the Taoist priest was stunned, and an ominous premonition appeared in his heart.

[This third refers to one-third of the city god (laughs]

"What!" the Taoist priest shouted in disbelief, this is too much!

The red-clothed female ghost on the side was also shocked, what does it mean that one-third of the city gods are still breathing? It means demons, demons, ghosts, monsters, there are a lot of food and materials!

"Why is this happening?" asked the female ghost in red, she didn't really understand much about this, but she looked at the Taoist priest's shocked appearance at the moment, so she asked him first.

[Prosperity and decline, the city god has protected people so well over the years that they don't care about the existence of the city god]

"Is it because there is no sense of crisis anymore? The Taoist priest had adjusted his emotions at the moment, and he calmly analyzed.

"Because the protection is so good, so that mortals forget how they can live so well, and when the city gods in various places completely decline, it will be the time of great calamity for the human race!"

The Taoist priest said sharply.

The female ghost in red was puzzled: "Won't the city gods find a way to save themselves? For example, if you deliberately let some ghosts in, and occasionally something happens, isn't it?"

The Taoist priest shook his head and sighed: "The location of the City God is destined for them not to be able to do this, if they do this, I am afraid that they will be punished by heaven, and the entire City God Mansion will be destroyed." ”

"So serious?!" the female ghost in red was startled.

"Heh," the Taoist priest laughed and said, "What's more, the only place that a city god can protect is that place, if the city god mansion really disappears, then that place can already be erased from the mainland, and it will take too long to establish a new city god mansion, before that, the city that was like a torch in the night has already been swallowed clean." ”

"Well, is there really nothing that can be done?" the female ghost in red thought with a frown.

[Of course there is.] 】

"What's the solution?" asked the female ghost in red.

The Taoist priest sighed and said, "As long as there are powerful ghosts to harass and harass, the city gods can't clean up the ghosts, and mortals are naturally worried, and the worship of the city gods will increase." ”

"It's that simple?" said the red-clothed female ghost in surprise.

"Simple?" the Taoist priest said in a loud voice, "Do you think any powerful ghost would venture in front of those powerful city gods?"

"Uh," the woman in red was embarrassed, "ahahaha, indeed." ”

The Taoist priest said, "So, the purpose of the 'Hundred Ghosts Night Walk' is already very clear. ”

[Yes, I didn't plan to hide it from you]

The Taoist priest thought for a while and asked, "Those who are still alive are all within the dynasty, right?"

[That's right, after all, the interior is relatively stable, and the border area is relatively better, after all, there are more ghosts in contact, and there are almost no ghosts in the interior.] 】

[The strong ones ran early, and the weak ones didn't hurt, so they solved it casually.] 】

"And where is the location of our 'Hundred Ghosts Night Walk'?" the Taoist priest asked.

[Inland, where the hands of those powerful city gods on the edge can't reach!]

Is that really the case?

The Taoist priest took a deep breath, "How many ghosts are there now?"

[It's just the two of you at the moment, you are the first batch!]

The female ghost in red and the Taoist priest were stunned.

[Why don't you help me find some, although it's not bad for a few days, but it's good to be able to hurry up after all]

The Taoist priest said calmly: "Poor Dao doesn't know any powerful ghosts. ”

After that, he looked at the female ghost in red on the side, and the female ghost in red shook her head and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know either." ”

[Hey, I see that the strength of both of you is not weak, why are the ghosts so bad]

The Taoist priest defended: "Huh, you can't say that, the poor Dao is just a short time to wake up, it's not that he has no friends, this is what the poor Dao met in the past two days!"

The Taoist priest said and pointed to the female ghost in red.

[Uh-huh, then now I'm going to go there to 'catch' ghosts?]

"Look at the mountains, there are quite a lot of ghosts there. The female ghost in red said, pointing to the mountains.

[There, I've seen it, there are a lot of ghosts, but the strength is very average, I'm afraid I can't even control my mind.] 】

"How is it possible, I was yesterday," said the female ghost in red, her mouth stopped.

Uh, it's true that there were quite a lot of them yesterday, but I caught a lot of them yesterday!

Looking at the appearance of the female ghost in red, the Taoist priest sneered, "Do you know what's going on?"

The female ghost in red snorted and did not speak again.

[Then let's go and don't take a look, you go in the direction I said]

"Wait," the Taoist priest shook his head and said, "Wait another day." ”

【Why?】

"We're both looking for a treasure here, just tonight. The Taoist priest explained.

【Treasure?】

The female ghost in red said: "Yes, yes, that's a treasure that will only appear after a thousand years of gestation!"

[In that case, then you can wait here for now, I'll go look elsewhere, and I'll come back to you tomorrow]

When this text appeared, it was as if the god had really left.
