Every big city will have a city god temple, and in Zhao Lingtai's cognition, the city god belongs to a very important part of the Shinto system.

The mountain gods, the river bo, and the city god are the three most common in the world. The Sandao Dragon Temple, in fact, is the Hebo Temple, with different names and the same functions.

Zhao Lingtai has visited the Dragon Temple, and now he comes to see the City God Temple.

Yangzhou's City God Temple is built on a quiet street, covers an area of not much, half an acre of square circle, is a three-entry and exit building, there is a small square outside the gate, a bronze incense burner is placed in the center of the square, in the furnace, the incense is prosperous.

It was afternoon, but there was an endless stream of pilgrims who came to worship the incense.

There are many places where incense is placed in the City God Temple, whether it is the incense burner in the square, or the incense burner in the side hall, and the main furnace in the main hall, it is full of incense and has never been broken.

The mist of incense creates an ethereal and mysterious atmosphere. In it, people can't help but have a sense of piety in their hearts.

Zhao Lingtai did not enter the temple, but stood on the square and watched.

Sure enough, under the concentration of induction, a high and overlooking the mind of all beings appeared in mid-air, indifferently without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

"Buzz!"

That thought suddenly "looked" at Zhao Lingtai.

"Bad ......"

Zhao Lingtai screamed secretly, quickly withdrew the induction, and left quickly, his heart pounding.

Fortunately, after leaving, the feeling of being overloaded disappeared. He breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the city god is much more domineering than the dragon god......

This feeling made Zhao Lingtai think of the fierce tigers in the mountains, which were extremely territorial. He came to sense, which is tantamount to a kind of snooping, and will be regarded as an offense to the city god!

If you dare to offend the gods, the gods will get angry and punish them.

However, Zhao Lingtai made a decision and immediately chose to leave, avoiding the edge.

After a half-mutter, he stopped staying and went straight out of the city and returned to Lingtai Mountain.

......

After the alliance of the three factions, the Lingtai momentum was booming, and the morale of the disciples in the sect was booming.

Anu's triumphant return brought this momentum to a peak.

Defeated Qingcheng Lu Tianxiao, defeated Laoshan Yan Shanhai, and injured Qinling Luo Qianqiu...... The three Yang God masters, under the hands of Anu, were all defeated, which made Anu's personal reputation soar, and the limelight was unmatched for a while, some people said that in him, they saw the shadow of Zhao Lingtai back then.

However, after Anu returned to the mountain, he still lived in the iron shop at the outer gate.

On the first day of his return, four inner disciples carried two large baskets of high-quality materials.

Anu glanced at it and said, "You carry the things back." ”

The four disciples were stunned, and one cautiously asked, "Uncle Anu, don't you want materials to strike iron?"

Anu replied indifferently: "From today onwards, I will not strike iron." ”

The four disciples didn't know why, so they had to carry the things up the mountain again, and then report them to the head of Lin Zhongliu.

After listening to this, Lin Zhongliu stroked his beard and smiled: "The fourth child must have taken another big step forward in the realm, and there is no need to strike iron anymore." ”

Also on the same day, Xu Jun took the waist card and handed it back to Uncle Anu.

Xu Jun has already entered the inner gate and has become an inner disciple. She got the manifestation of her ancestor and taught a set of "Empty Name Sword", and her cultivation progress was extremely fast, and she had broken through the realm and reached the Tongxuan realm. And she also shined in the sword school competition, and finally ranked third.

Whatever the reason, she is eligible to enter the inner door.

When he came to the iron shop, facing the famous Uncle Anu, Xu Jun was a little restrained.

"Xu Jun, I heard about you being taught swordsmanship by your grandfather. Well, can you tell us more about what happened that day?"

Anu asked.

Xu Jun has been asked by many people about this matter, but every time, her answer automatically omits the link of Zhao Lingtai, and only says that she is tired from practicing swords, lying on the bluestone, and dreaming of the manifestation of her grandfather.

The reason why this is so is mainly due to the fact that I don't know what kind of attitude Zhao Lingtai will have, and he has also been taught by his ancestral master, but he has never said it, let alone performed in the sect. Since he didn't say anything, Xu Jun wanted to help him keep this secret.

In the face of Uncle Anu's inquiry, Xu Jun's answer did not change.

After listening, Anu was silent for a while.

Xu Jun hurriedly took out the waist card and presented it with both hands.

Anu took it and suddenly asked, "You seem to be very familiar with Zhao Awang?"

Xu Jun said: "It's more talkative. ”

"On the day Master Zu appeared, you should be with Zhao Awang. ”

Anu said suddenly.

Xu Jun was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Anu asked again, "Have you practiced sword with him?"

Xu Jun was shocked.

Anu seemed to be asking, and as if he was just talking to himself: "His swordsmanship must be very good." ”

After that, there was a warm smile on his face.

When Xu Jun saw it, she was stunned, she had almost never seen this Uncle Anu laugh, and in the minds of the disciples of the Manchu School, Uncle Anu has always been associated with "weirdos", not smiling, silent and cool.

Anu smiled unabatedly: "Xu Jun, you go back to sword practice." ”

Xu Jun couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Anu, do you think he will come back?"

"Of course!"

Anu's voice was very affirmative: "This is his home, if he doesn't go home, where can he go?"

These words are almost the same as what Zhao Lingtai said when he left.

Still on this day, Fang Xiafeng came to the iron shop, holding a jade box in his hand.

When Anu saw it, he frowned: "Second child, what is it?"

Fang Xiafeng looked at him: "Five hundred years of Longma glue...... Isn't that what you want me to look for in the South China Sea?"

"I want you to find it?"

Anu asked.

Fang Xiafeng said: "Your apprentice went to the South China Sea, found me, and said that he wanted five hundred years of Longma Jiao, isn't that what you meant?"

When Anu heard this, his face showed a sudden look, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." ”

Fang Xiafeng felt that his expression was a little strange: "Your apprentice hasn't come back yet?"

Anu said, "He has something else to do. ”

Fang Xiafeng didn't ask any more questions, and changed the topic: "How sure is the third child's injury that can be cured?"

Anu said: "There is nothing important except death, don't worry, he will be fine." ”

Fang Xiafeng didn't doubt him, he only felt that this sentence was more comforting than anything else, and sighed: "What else do you need, just tell me, and the boss." Even if you raise the power of the faction, you must cure the third child. ”

Anu nodded: "Yes." ”

After a pause, he asked again: "I heard that in Nanhai County, Shizun once buried a sword there, and that sword was taken away?"

Fang Xiafeng's face darkened: "It was my incompetence that made the sword of the master fall into the hands of others." ”

Anu asked, "At that time, my apprentice was in the South China Sea?"

Fang Xiafeng was stunned, feeling that the fourth child's thinking was as wild as ever, and he was very out of luck, saying this for a while, and saying that for a while: "It should be there." ”

Anu laughed again.

Fang Xiafeng saw him smile strangely: "What do you mean by this?"

Anu waved his hand: "It's boring." ”

Fang Xiafeng left in wonder.

Time flies, autumn goes to winter, and there have been several snowfalls on Lingtai Mountain.

Anu no longer strikes iron, he sits in the iron shop every day, silent as a rock, no one knows what he is thinking, in the eyes of many people, he should be practicing some kind of magic skill, so he does not dare to come up and disturb, he looks at it from a distance, and is solemn.

On this day, it was nightfall, and a person broke into the iron shop covered in wind and snow, and said in a babbling voice: "After walking for a day, I am cold and hungry, and I want to eat hot pot." ”

Anu opened his eyes, caught a glimpse of the young face, and immediately jumped up: "I'll get it." ”

Saying that, he went up the mountain to the outer canteen and made all kinds of hot pot ingredients.
