Chapter 61: The City God
The clouds on the horizon are rolling in the clouds, it is the good scenery of spring, the warm breeze is lazily blowing, touching people's heartstrings, if you look far away, you can find a brilliant fire red hanging in the sky, the sun seems to come out extraordinarily early these days.
Early in the morning, Huang Fuxuan was like a profiteer, in order to protect his axe gang from disbanding, he kept selling his sister, Qiao Chenan was dumbfounded when he heard it, and hurriedly agreed, otherwise I don't know what outrageous things he would say.
Huangfu Xuan got his promise, and immediately grinned, revealing his white teeth, the corners of his eyes were crooked, and his appearance was excessively delicate, and he looked like a little Zhengtai.
After Qiao Chen'an agreed, he was a little difficult, the gentleman said a word, a quick horse, the living expenses of the five or six hundred members of the Axe Gang, all kinds of expenses fell on his shoulders, it was still that problem, how to find a way to save time and effort, and can earn a lot of money in a very short time?
In addition to the expenses of the Axe Gang, his own family is not rich, and he depends on his parents to work day and night, but even then he can only earn a few silver taels every month, and it is necessary for him to do his filial piety, so that his parents can relax and no longer suffer for their livelihood.
It's just that how to act depends on the memories in his mind that are beyond the insight of this era.
A day passed in a hurry, Qiao Chenan went to the academy halfway, and listened to the professor give a few lectures as usual, in fact, he had already memorized the content of the book, and the reason why he stayed in the hall was mostly to cope, otherwise Wang Lizhi would have said that he had abandoned his studies!
The people who were originally disdainful of him were very enthusiastic, almost like they had changed their faces, and they must come forward to say hello after seeing him, Qiao Chenan reluctantly responded a few words at first, but after many times, he gradually got bored, and simply ignored them as if they hadn't seen him, and these people were no longer bored with themselves.
What they thought in their hearts, how could Qiao Chen'an not know, didn't he just fancy his future?
I'd rather be lonely all my life than be hypocritical, love is love, hate is hate, pretending to be annoying.
The night gradually envelops the earth, adding a sense of depression, just as the seasons change, the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large, and the cold wind blows wantonly, bringing bursts of wet and salty breath.
The lights of thousands of homes are bright, looking at it from afar, the firelight is swaying, like stars, dispelling a little darkness, making people feel a little warmth in their hearts, and they feel that there is still hope, so as not to get lost in this vast night.
"This is the world!"
Qiao Chenan leaned on the railing and sighed, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and there was an inexplicable sense of steadfastness in his heart, only this little fire-like light could make people feel that there were not only themselves in this world, but also many similar existences.
With the sky, with the night, with the people.
Huangfu Xuan didn't return home again at night, and he didn't know where he ran again, but the little guy's cultivation is not shallow, so he doesn't have to worry about any accidents.
Qiao Chen'an blew out the oil lamp, fell asleep on the couch, listened to the whistling wind in his ears, and his heart was quiet, and he fell asleep after a while.
"Chenghuang Jun invites Gongzi Qiao to come to the mansion to talk!"
In the middle of the moon, in a trance, he suddenly heard a thunderous shout from outside the house, Qiao Chenan woke up from his sleep in an instant, looked out, but saw a blue-faced ghost with a height of nearly two meters on the street outside the window, with a ghostly aura on his body, curling Tingting, and next to it was also a gorgeous and wide bronze carriage.
Qiao Chen'an saw that there were no lights in the other rooms, as if it was only himself who was awakened by the loud shout just now, so he slowly came to the window and asked in a deep voice, "Where are you a ghost?!"
The blue-faced ghost knew the extraordinaryness of the person in front of him, and with a pair of copper bell bloody eyes with a respectful look, he replied: "The little one is the ghost under the seat of the city god here, and I specially invited Qiao Jun to the banquet tonight on the order of Lord Chenghuang!"
Qiao Chen Anxin remembered that he didn't know the city god here, how could he invite him for no reason, it was not a fraud, and immediately shouted angrily: "Do you know, why did your city god invite me?"
The voice fell to the ears of the blue-faced ghost, and it was like thunder rolling in the sky.
The blue-faced ghost looked frightened, only feeling that Qiao Chen'an's body suddenly exuded a breathing aura, and hurriedly said: "Qiao Jun is angry, my city god has no other intentions, he just wants to make friends with Qiao Jun!"
Qiao Chen'an saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, he snorted coldly, turned around and sat cross-legged on the bed, the blue-faced ghost thought that he would refuse, but saw a clear and transparent shadow leap out of his body.
Qiao Chen'an laid a few talismans around his body, so as not to have any accidents when the Yin God left his body, and then he slowly came to the window, and his body fluttered and fell on the carriage, and a cold and faint light shot out of his heavy pupils, and said lightly: "Lead the way!"
It doesn't matter what he has planned, let's go and see what he is saying first, with his current cultivation and the few treasures in his hands, what is he afraid of.
The blue-faced ghost felt the surging Dao Gate righteousness on Qiao Chen'an's body, and his whole body was uncomfortable, and he only had eight points of strength left; when he looked up, he saw his pair of heavy pupils with almost no emotional color, and his heart was even more shocked, who was the person invited by the Dark Dao City God this time, and he actually had such a vision.
The attitude couldn't help but be more respectful, leaned over, shouted lowly, and drove away.
The cold wind and cold moon, wanton swaying, this bronze carriage itself is a magic weapon, the wheels do not touch the ground, but hang in the air at a distance of more than a foot from the ground, the speed is extremely fast, with gusts of wind.
Along the way, countless ghosts in the city were alarmed, and dark eyes were projected from all corners, looking at the figures in the frame, or doubting or sneering.
Qiao Chen'an didn't realize it, or he didn't take the ghosts to heart at all, he was thinking about it in his heart at the moment, the purpose of the city god of Hangzhou City inviting him, but he didn't have a clue for a while.
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage drove out of the downtown area of Hangzhou, and came to the suburbs, and with his eyesight, he saw a temple standing in the night, dark and mysterious, ghostly, a little deeper than the deepest night.
Coming to the temple, the blue-faced ghost drove to the ground, leaned over and said respectfully: "Qiao Jun, please!"
Qiao Chen'an glanced at him, and then looked up at the temple in front of him, with green tiles and gray walls, dark bricks and wood, accompanied by the spirit of the forest, as if he had come to the underworld.
Directly above the temple gate is a black plaque, on which the three bright red characters of "City God Temple" are written, as if dyed with blood, which is the only bright color in the darkness, but it is even more terrifying.
Call......
It happened that a gust of wind blew, echoing between heaven and earth, making a loud noise, like a ghost hissing, and it made people feel hairy in their hearts.
He never had the slightest fear in his heart, and stepped into the temple with his head held high under the gaze of the blue-faced ghost, walked through the hall, and came to the Zhongzheng Temple, looking up, but saw several evil ghosts!
