Chapter 5 Anxi City God

Mo Chen and Liu Hao have been in Anxi County for three days, and Mo Chen has been pondering the bamboo slips in his mind all the time, as well as the general outline of the [Tao Te Ching] on the bamboo slips, but unfortunately there is no progress, so he has to drink some wine in the inn every day to relieve his sorrows, Liu Hao's shoulder injury is almost healed, but this young man seems to have forgotten that he came to the rivers and lakes to practice, and he pours tea and water for Mo Chen every day, and enjoys it.

"Mr. Mo, I have asked someone to inquire about a house in the past few days, let's go and see it today, if you think it fits, the kid will buy it." Liu Hao filled Mo Chen's cup with warm water, and then said with a smile.

Mo Chen nodded, this house was also bought by Liu Hao, he didn't interfere in everything, of course, he was not familiar with this world, and he couldn't interfere if he wanted to. And Liu Hao's thinking is much simpler, Mr. Mo and other masters generally come and go without a trace, and buying a house for Mr. Mo in Anxi County can be regarded as knowing where Mr. Mo lives? If you want to find Mr. Mo in the future, you will always have a thought.

The two of them walked out of the inn, and the broker Liu Hao was looking for was already waiting for the two of them outside the door, and when they saw Liu Hao coming out, they hurriedly greeted them, and then led the two of them to the east of the county, and introduced all kinds of strange things about Anxi County for the two of them.

Suddenly, Mo Chen felt that the bamboo slip in the sea of consciousness trembled slightly, and his consciousness hurriedly investigated, but the bamboo slip did not move, which made him quite puzzled, and then looked around, and saw a city god temple located here, there were many pilgrims, and the incense was extremely vigorous, and he asked the broker at the moment: "Is there any rumor about this city god temple?"

The broker also felt that Liu Shaoxia, who was quite arrogant, had a lot of respect for this big gentleman who seemed to be a scholar, so he smiled and said: "If you want to say that there are rumors, but that was when my grandfather was a child, I overheard my grandfather talk about it when I was young, and I can't remember it clearly, but since you are interested, I will say a few more words to you." ”

"It is said that there was an evil ghost in Qiyang Mountain, every night on the fifteenth day of the first month, you have to go down the mountain to catch a live person up the mountain, take its heart as food, many people in the village under Qiyang Mountain have suffered a disaster, can only find the body without a heart the next day, at that time this matter was very big, even the government was alarmed, the county commander was worried every day, one night, after the county commander slept peacefully, he dreamed of an old man wearing an official uniform, the old man said to him" I am the city god of this Anxi County, just because the temple is not there, the golden body does not exist, and I can't show the mana to catch the cannibal ghost, if you have the heart, you can help me repair the temple and cast the golden body, I have my own way to catch the evil ghost. With that, he vanished. ”

"The county commander woke up, hurriedly recruited craftsmen, rushed to build the temple day and night, and painted the appearance of the old man in official uniform, let the craftsman carve carefully, so that after thirteen days and nights, the city god temple was finally barely completed, and that day, it was the day of the monthly evil ghost down the mountain, that night everyone was trembling and hiding in the house, only my grandfather, less and no more, found a vacancy, sneaked to the city god temple nearby, in the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a fluttering laughter, my grandfather looked up, only to see that on the avenue, four white faces, blush on the face of the ghost thing carrying a sedan chair, the ghost thing also found my grandfather, a female ghost in red walked out of the sedan chair, smiled at my grandfather, and a pair of ghost claws stretched out to him, and at this moment ......"

Seeing that the broker suddenly stopped talking, Liu Hao couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter at this time, go on." "It stands to reason that a martial arts warrior like him is not interested in this kind of ghostly thing, but he has experienced it once, and his curiosity at the moment is extremely strong.

The broker looked at Mo Chen with a curious look at this time, and said with a smile: "At this time, a divine light suddenly flashed in this City God Temple, and an old man wearing an official uniform appeared, it was the City God and his old man, I saw the City God Lord holding a seal in his hand, and said to the female ghost: "After death, it will harm the world, and cannibalism will be fun, and the Yin Si will be punished at the moment!" After speaking, the seal in the hand of the city god was bright, and he took the female ghost away at once, and since then, the incense here has become more and more prosperous, it is rumored that twenty years ago, there was a plague in Anxi County, and the city god appeared and took the elixir out, so that no one died of the plague. ”

When Liu Hao heard this, he was excited and said, "Mr. Mo, let's go to this temple to worship." ”

Mo Chen nodded, he also wanted to figure out what it meant that the bamboo slips trembled here, the three of them walked towards the City God Temple, there were a lot of pilgrims at this time, Liu Hao and the broker lined up to go to the incense, Mo Chen was bored, was wandering around, raised, Mo Chen paused slightly, raised his eyes, and saw that not far ahead, there was an old man wearing a scarlet official robe and a long-winged hat standing under a ginkgo tree next to the City God Temple and looking east, I don't know what he was looking at, Mo Chen was quite curious, this old man's clothes were weird, but the people around him turned a blind eye, as if this old man did not exist。

The old man suddenly felt something, turned his head to look, and saw that Mo Chen was looking at him, and he was surprised in his heart, his Dharma body had not yet appeared, and this person could actually see himself? How did he know that Mo Chen's Dharma eyes had been opened because of the bamboo slips, even if he had no mana, he could see things that ordinary people could not see. The old man looked at Mo Chen, he didn't feel a trace of mana cultivation, he stood there like a mortal, but he could see his own, how could he be a mortal? At the moment, he kept the spirit platform awake, and looked at Mo Chen again, but saw the latter standing there quietly, there seemed to be two divine rays of black and white circulating on his body, and a mysterious Dao rhyme was scattered around, and then he felt a terrifying pressure coming, as if he was going to tear him apart, so frightened that the old man hurriedly retracted his gaze, and was secretly frightened by Mo Chen's deep cultivation, and then he didn't dare to investigate the latter again.

Mo Chen's body didn't feel anything, but there seemed to be a flash of light on the bamboo slip just now, and then he saw the old man in the scarlet official robe coming over, bowed to the end, and said: "Zhao Yuanlou, the county god of Anxi County, has seen the immortal chief, I don't know what the immortal chief is saying when he comes to Anxi County?"

Mo Chen looked at the old man who was pretty, his expression was stunned, what is the situation? Chenghuang? This old man is the Chenghuang? Immortal Chief? Who is the Immortal Chief? Mo Chen looked left and right, there was no one around, and he was sure that this Chenghuang Ye was talking to him, Mo Chen looked confused, he just looked at him, and came over to make such a big gift?

"In Xia Mochen, I have seen the city god. Mo Chen hurriedly learned the appearance of the city god, bowed to the end, bowed back, and spoke.

Chenghuang Zhao Yuanlou saw that Mo Chen's "cultivation is strong" and he was so polite, and secretly sighed, strong and not arrogant or impetuous, reasonable and modest, it is really rare, and then asked with a smile: "Why did the immortal chief come to Anxi County?"

Mo Chen didn't know why Chenghuang was so polite to him, and said honestly: "Mo just came to live in Anxi County for a while, and he didn't have any other intentions. ”

These words are not so simple when they fall into the ears of Chenghuang, how can such a master do things simply? Stay for a while? Could it be that he has entered the world to practice? Yes, yes, it must be! Sure enough, he is a master, he has entered the world to cultivate his mind, but he is also confused, once he is disturbed by the red dust, it is the breeding of demons in his heart, damaging the Dao Ji, where do ordinary people dare to enter the world to practice, like the people of the major immortal cultivation sects, are they not also hiding in the mountains to cultivate?

Mo Chen didn't know that the city god in front of him had already made up a lot of things on his own, and saw that Liu Hao and the broker had already finished making incense and walked over, and hugged his fist at Zhao Yuanlou and said, "Lord Chenghuang, Mo still has some things, so I will leave first." ”

Chenghuang returned the salute and said, "Immortal go slowly, if you have something, you can come to Yin Si to find me." ”

Mo Chen nodded, turned around and left, and walked away with Liu Hao, he had just walked for a while, and a yin appeared next to Zhao Yuanlou, the city god, and said, "My lord, the ghosts in the east of the city are moving again, do you need to send someone to suppress it?"

Chenghuang shook his head and said: "We have been canonized by Emperor Dayan, and we have long been involved in the fortunes of the dynasty, and now the dynasty is turbulent, and Yu Yin Si also has some influence, as long as they don't hurt people, let's wait and see what happens." Besides, now that a powerful immortal cultivator has come to Anxi County, that immortal cultivator should not sit idly by. You go and see where the one just now lives, and I'll pay a visit later. ”

"Yes. The yin messenger took the order to leave, and the city god stood under the tree, silent for a moment, and then disappeared.
