Chapter 13: The Town and the City God
I look through you with autumn waves, and you sorrow me with the cold winter.
Gu Ren was stunned by these eyes, and then smiled.
He believed that the fox ghost could see his smile.
Under Gu Ren's perspective of the heavenly eye, the fox ghost slowly closed its eyes, it seemed that it could not walk under the scorching sun openly, and even needed to rest under this scorching sun in order to preserve the cultivation obtained by swallowing the moon yin at night.
This guy's purpose is really the position of the ghost immortal.
Since this ghost has this heart, then Gu Ren naturally has the beauty of an adult, no, the beauty of becoming a ghost, another day to write a letter to Lao Niushan Yimoku real person, let him take care of this person with lofty ideals.
"Let's go, that guy doesn't dare to do anything to you. Gu Ren patted the Yin Borrowing Talisman on his left hand.
"But you're in my hand now, if I tear up this Yin Talisman...... Hehe, just kidding, you'll be fine. Gu Ren frightened the wild ghosts in the Yin Talisman.
...............
The name of the wild ghost is Tong Liujin, Gu Ren directly called it the sixth child, the wild ghost was very happy to be called so by Gu Ren, such a title is close to it, this long treat it as its own person.
After leaving the village, the sixth child also told Gu Ren his true identity.
Although he was a mountain guest in the mountains, he was also a villager in that village, but he did not live in the village often, and he was a bachelor, so he lived in the mountains twenty-five days of the month.
Just two years ago, this village became a ghost village, and the culprit was the river demon in the nearby Huai River, in that section of the river basin, there was a river demon, the body was a big king eight, after becoming a monster, it has been scourging the surrounding villages.
And the village where the sixth child is located naturally can't hide, and has been asked for sacrifices many times.
In the end, because he couldn't satisfy the river demon, he invited a Taoist priest with high mana to get rid of the demon, but how many Taoist priests with high mana were there, and when the first Taoist priest was dancing by the river, he was directly swallowed by the river demon.
Then the river demon didn't wait for them to invite the second Taoist priest, and directly sent out a water ghost to kill all the villagers in the village.
The sixth child happened to be in the village that day, but because he thought that the door of the mountain hut did not seem to be closed, he ran back and escaped, but after that, he still died at the mouth of a bear, which did not deceive Gu Ren.
After that, the village was taken over by the fox ghost and became its lair.
As for why the river demon let the fox ghost occupy this place, the sixth child didn't know, he didn't have that ability yet.
In Gu Ren's eyes, the cultivation realm of the fox ghost may be refining qi and transforming into a god, and the river demon may have the same strength as it.
Gu Ren can only speculate if he has never seen a river demon, and he can't even see through the cultivation of the fox ghost, let alone a river demon he has never seen.
With the help of the living map of Lao Liu, as well as the dead map in his hand, Gu Ren finally came to a village, no, it should be a small town.
There are walls that are taller and thicker than the small fence walls of the villages, and those who live in them may be more steady.
This town is also on the Huai River, three hours away from the previous village, which is Gu Ren's footsteps.
And strangely, the town is not threatened by the river demons.
However, after Gu Ren saw a city god temple in the center of the town with full incense, he no longer had doubts.
Gu Ren could see at a glance that there was a true god in this City God Temple, a ground god.
Although it is not common sense for a small town to have a city god, in such a world, in the prosperity of this town, it is also a matter of course.
I can't say, this Chenghuang is still a former official.
This town is called Huiyun, and it flourished because it was close to the Huai River.
Although Gu Ren's destination is the capital, it doesn't hurt to rest here for a while, as if he had lived in Laoniu Mountain for a long time.
In addition, he also wanted to see Shinto and have some communication with the city god.
And he needed a new map.
............
On April 18, the night was deep, and the moon was full.
Gu Ren sat in a first-class room, which was given free of charge by the innkeeper.
Gu Ren didn't cast spells, didn't use illusions, just moved his mouth, and exchanged some knowledge of Zhou Yi gossip with him.
And it happened that the boss was a believer in Sanqing Taoism, and then the boss gave him a good room because Gu Ren was wearing a Taoist robe and his understanding of Taoism.
Although it is a good room, it is not much different from the usual room, but it is located in the horizontal depths of the inn, so you can sleep well and will not be woken up by the noise of the street in the early morning.
Such a good room is exactly what Gu Ren needs, and his quiet correction needs such a room.
Gu Ren meditated in the guest room, his heart was facing the sky, gathering the vitality of heaven and earth in the dantian, and it was the time of the child, so Gu Ren was capturing the spiritual opportunity in the record.
However, the time passed quietly, and Gu Ren still didn't catch the slightest inspiration, and just absorbed more heaven and earth vitality.
Although the essence in the body is sufficient, the divine mind is somewhat declining, which is a situation that occurs after capturing the spiritual energy like this every day, and it takes at least fifteen minutes of rest to recover.
In the Huangting Sutra, there is a chapter of refining gods, and the chapter of refining gods is a picture, the picture is an elderly Taoist, and the flowers are extremely godlike, just like a real person.
Gu Ren didn't look at this old Taoist less, this was because he guessed that this was even the old man of the Dao Ancestor, so maybe this picture really had some kind of power, so he was diligent in watching it every day.
Now the appearance of this Taoist has basically been recorded by Gu Ren.
It is precisely because of this that Gu Ren's restraint on his own divine thoughts is getting stronger and stronger, and perhaps the realm of refining gods against the void will not be long after, of course, this is also Gu Ren's own obscenity.
After Gu Ren rested for fifteen minutes, he didn't sit cross-legged on the bed again.
Get up and walk through the room.
After swaying for more than thirty steps, Gu Ren pushed open the window of the room.
"Sixth, you stay here, I'll go out for a walk. Gu Ren patted the Yin Talisman in his hand.
Then I saw that the Yin Talisman spit out a cloud of black mist, and the black mist slowly converged and formed, becoming a ghost full of holes and miserable.
"Okay. The sixth man agreed.
The sixth child is now on Gu Ren's thief ship, and now it can't get off if he wants to.
For Gu Ren's orders, there is naturally only one way to obey.
After Gu Ren released the sixth child, he turned over and walked out of the house.
The room was on the second floor of the inn, and the windows were bricks.
The design of this inn is also interesting, the windows of each second-floor guest room are set on the sloping tile roof, as long as the window is opened, you will see a black brick, and just a turnover, you can step on the bricks and tiles, and walk on the cornices and walls.
After Gu Ren turned out of the house, he headed towards the center of the town.
It is the City God Temple where the lights are still bright.
