After leaving the City God Temple, Li Xiuyuan looked at the sky, it was already late at night, and it was estimated that there would be a few hours before dawn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He walked through the streets in the moonlight and headed towards the Li Mansion in the city.

Everywhere I passed, there was a yin wind nearby, surrounding the left and right, lingering, and vaguely mixed with a smell of paper ash.

If an experienced old man passes by here, he will definitely know that this yin wind is actually a group of ghosts passing by.

These ghosts who followed left and right were naturally the nineteen guards including Tie Shan, whom Li Xiuyuan brought back from the underworld.

Li Xiuyuan had already instructed him before that he was not close to the ghosts, so let Tieshan and the others not get too close, so as not to be affected, especially when he took off his jade belt to sleep, he had to hide far away, and he must not be accidentally injured by his own breath.

So follow all the way, there is still a certain distance.

"Bang!

When he passed by a street near Fushang, he saw the door of a house open, and a simple and honest middle-aged man was frowning, holding a bright waist knife and sharpening it seriously on the whetstone.

One time, one very hard, the sound is crisp and loud, and it is especially clear to hear at night.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at it, but saw that the waist knife had been sharpened and brightened, and there was no need to sharpen it anymore.

Eccentric?

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "This friend, your knife has been sharpened enough, why are you still sharpening?"

"Ah~!"

The honest man was suddenly startled by Li Xiuyuan's voice, and the waist knife in his frightened hand fell to the ground with a clatter, as if he didn't expect that there would be pedestrians passing by at the door of his house so late.

"No, it's nothing, it's just nothing to sharpen the knife, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that the rust will fall off. ”

He stammered and looked nervous.

"The knife has been sharpened and shiny, but there is not a trace of rust. Li Xiuyuan said.

The honest man hurriedly spoke: "Only, I just can't sleep at night, and there is nothing to grind." ”

"I see, then I won't bother you sharpening your knives. ”

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and no longer paid attention to this person's strange moves.

But when he looked back when he was almost passing by, he saw that the honest man had put away the whetstone and waist knife, and hurriedly got up and went back to the house.

"Big young master, this person sharpened his knife in the middle of the night, and he was sneakily afraid of things and was kind. A whispering voice sounded in his ear, but it was a dead guardian ghost who spoke.

"You are a ghost and you say that someone else is sneaky, and he is just sharpening a knife, even if it is a little suspicious, it is nothing, and others are not necessarily trying to do bad things. ”

Li Xiuyuan said: "Besides, even if this person really went to sharpen his knife to kill, then someone else hasn't killed yet, don't be so nervous." ”

"Yes, young master. A dark wind blew nearby.

"Alright, go back, I have a gift for you. ”

After returning to the house, Li Xiuyuan took out some of the incense he had prepared before.

These incense were his gifts, and he originally planned to give them to the City God when he left the City God Temple, after all, he was asking for help from the City God, and he couldn't do without a little expression.

But now it seems that there is no need for this.

This Chenghuang has his own careful thoughts, so there is no need for Li Xiuyuan to be so kind and give him gifts, and he is good-tempered if he does not demolish his Chenghuang Temple in anger.

"You are all ghosts now, and you have to enjoy incense on weekdays, from ghosts to ghosts, and then to yin soldiers, so as not to encounter demons and monsters in the future. ”

He took a fire fold, lit all the incense, and put it all on the ground.

Smoke rises, with a strong smell of incense.

These incense incense is different from other incense, stained with Li Xiuyuan's blood, and the incense after burning contains special effects, which can increase the Taoism of ghosts.

Originally, this great gift was enjoyed by the city god, but the city god did not have this blessing.

Tie Shan, Li Zhong Although they are fierce ghosts, Taisheng is more fierce than other ghosts, but at most they are about the same as ghosts, and there is still a big gap with those Yin soldiers.

Although a ghost of this level can deal with ordinary people, it can't deal with something that really has Taoism.

Only when you become a yin soldier and a ghost general can you be regarded as having a Taoist line, and you can go to the road of becoming a god with incense.

In this world, there are city gods, land, and river gods, but there are also countless little hair gods.

For example, the bald man before, if he accumulates incense and everything goes well, the Qingfeng Temple will become a temple in the future, and he will be able to become a god with incense and become a small god of the Qingfeng Temple.

Although the Bald Daoist did not succeed, this shows that his cultivation path is worth trying by many ghosts.

If nothing else, let's just say that the thousand-year-old tree spirit in Lanruo Temple has not absorbed incense to gain the Tao.

A tree has been worshiped for a long time, and it has been worshiped for a long time, and it can become a refinement, not to mention the iron mountain.

Li Xiuyuan believes that as long as he builds a temple for Tieshan and them, the incense will continue to burn in the future, so that the people in Guobei County can worship more, and they can become ghosts and gods in the future, and there is no need for the city god of Guobei City to be worse.

As the incense spread, the nineteen ghosts of Tieshan all absorbed it involuntarily.

Oni are born to enjoy incense.

An incense offering can keep the ghost from starving for a year.

But if there is more incense, the ghost will be able to strengthen himself by absorbing the incense and step into the path of cultivation.

"Young Master, these incense burns are so powerful, and the small feeling is full of strength all over the body. "A guard was already strong, but now after absorbing this incense, his body has grown rapidly, and he is like a little giant, full of power in his gestures.

And the body is much more condensed than before, without that ethereal feeling.

"This is a normal phenomenon, you have obtained incense and began to gradually transform from ordinary ghosts. Li Xiuyuan said.

In just a few moments, he could smell the incense emanating from the guards.

It's no worse than those ghosts.

In other words, from now on, these nineteen ghosts are ghosts, and they have a certain amount of Taoism, but they have not yet been canonized.

However, the so-called canonization is only a name, and it is insignificant to them.

"Let's get used to the ghost body more, and after absorbing these incense sticks, I will go back to the county, go and drag out a dream, and tell my family, so that your family can relieve some of the pain in their hearts." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Thank you for the reminder, the little one almost forgot. The demons nodded.

Li Xiuyuan yawned and said, "I'm a little tired, go back to sleep first, don't get too close to my room, so as not to be affected." ”

"The little ones and others understand, I'll let them pay attention. Iron Mountain nodded.

"That's good. Li Xiuyuan nodded, and then went back to the house to rest.

Just when he went back to rest, he was in the City God Temple at this moment.

As a puff of smoke blew out of the underworld, Guo Beicheng's Chenghuang immediately laughed and appeared in the temple.

"This red-haired ghost king still fell for my calculations, and now that I have returned to this Guobei City, he, the king of the underworld, does not dare to chase here, and this thing is stable. ”

Chenghuang looked at the things in his hand and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

It was a book, a black book, and there were three words on it that could be clearly seen: the Book of Life and Death.

"This is a treasure that can really judge life and death, and the things on this case of my city god are just a record of life and death, it seems to be the same, but it is very different, and it cannot be compared with the book of life and death at all. ”

Chenghuang flipped through the book of life and death in his hand, although it seemed to be only a few thin pages, but no matter how he turned it, he couldn't finish it, and it seemed endless.

But as his eyes flickered, he saw various words appearing on the blank paper, which was the birth date of a mortal, the time of death, and the longevity of Yang Shou and so on.

"There are nine books of life and death in the underworld, which govern the birth, old age, sickness and death of the people in Kyushu, but my book corresponds to this place. Guo Beicheng Chenghuang laughed.

Then he flipped around for a while, and only after all the names of the people of the state had appeared again, did he put them away.

"Sure enough, the name of the human saint Li Xiuyuan is not in this book of life and death, his life, old age, sickness and death can only be determined by heaven, and this book of life and death cannot be determined. Chenghuang shook his head, originally he wanted to see Li Xiuyuan's lifespan.

Although the ghosts and gods cannot calculate his lifespan, if his name appears in the Book of Life and Death, it can be viewed through the Book of Life and Death.

"By the way, did Li Xiuyuan say anything after he came back?"

Suddenly, he remembered something, and asked the Yin soldiers who were stationed at the gate on the left and right.

"Back to my lord, no. The Yin Soldier shook his head.

"Didn't say a word. Chenghuang asked again.

"Yes, my lord, Li Gongzi didn't say a word. ”

Chenghuang nodded, but he understood in his heart, this was because he was used by himself once, and he was very angry, but he had helped him a few times before, and now this is a bit of a.

"But the anger of the saint in the world must be calmed down, lest he destroy my temple on the spur of the moment. ”

As soon as he thought of this, Chenghuang said again: "Go, send the wine from the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty that is treasured by the Ten Altars of Chenghuang to Li Gongzi." ”

"Yes, Lord Chenghuang. ”

A captain of the Yin Soldier answered, and immediately took his subordinates to carry the wine.

"Don't drink it secretly on the road, this is the wine for Li Gongzi, and if you drink it secretly, you will be destroyed by this city god. Chenghuang glanced at him again and said coldly.

He has been a city god for many years, how could he not know the careful thinking of these Yin soldiers and ghosts.

Those Yin soldiers immediately nodded in fright, and even said that they didn't dare.

Only then did Chenghuang nod and waved them away, and sat down alone to study the book of life and death in his hand.

He tried to change the life expectancy of an inconspicuous lonely old man in the city, reducing his life expectancy by one year, to see if this book of life and death was really so powerful.

This change,

In an old house in the city, a lonely old man who was sleeping on a couch was still breathing well, but in the blink of an eye, his head was crooked and he was out of breath.

"Dead. ”

As soon as the old man died, Chenghuang immediately sensed it.

Immediately, he was even more happy, but then he frowned slightly, feeling that his yin virtue had been damaged a little.

"You can't change the book of life and death indiscriminately, this just changes a person's one-year yang life and makes this city god lose yin virtue, if the number of people who change is a little more, heavier, this city god is afraid that he can't stand such a big cause and effect. Chenghuang's expression was much more solemn.

Although this treasure is good, it must be used very carefully, otherwise it will be a curse rather than a blessing.
