Chapter 2: The City God

Lu Xiaozuo has a headache now, even if he is a human being in two lives, he can't handle such a situation. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info looked at the little girl in front of him who was crying more and more sadly, and his heart was also sour.

He raised his hand to help Amei wipe away his tears, and said softly: "How could the master not want Amei." Don't cry. The master is going to sell the little demon, not to sell Amei. ”

But the little girl didn't stop, but the more she cried, the more sad she became: "Sister Qiu Lian said that the master went to sell the little demon just to send Amei away. Amei doesn't want to follow any immortals, Amei only needs a master. Woooooooo ”

Okay, Bai Qiulian, it's really you. Lu Xiaozuo gritted his teeth in his heart. But his mouth was even more gentle: "Nonsense, how could the master give such a lovely apprentice to others." The master sold the little demon in order to learn immortal art from the immortals, not to send Amei away. The master will not leave Amei. ”

"Really?" Amei paused, her two big eyes staring straight at her master.

"Of course it's true, you see, the sugar gourd in your hand is not real. The master never lies. ”

Ah Mei lifted the sugar gourd and looked at it, then put the sugar gourd in her left hand on her right hand. She stretched out her little finger with her left hand, raised it in front of Lu Xiaozuo, and said, "That pull hook." ”

"Good, good. Lu Xiaozuo is thinking about coaxing the little girl over now.

"Hang yourself for 10,000 years. At the end of the ceremony, the little girl wiped her tears with her sleeve, and immediately laughed.

When Lu Xiaozuo saw this scene, he suddenly had a feeling of being fooled. My girl is so pure, she must have been spoiled by the stinky girl surnamed Bai.

Bai Qiu practiced. A girl with a captivating face appeared in Lu Xiaozuo's heart, but through the faint smile on the girl's face, Lu Xiaozuo could smell the smell of conspiracy, which made Lu Xiaozuo itch with hatred. A woman's lack of talent is virtue.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt that Amei was tugging at his clothes, and his body was already leaning against him.

"Master, I noticed that a lot of people are watching us?" said Amei, grabbing his clothes, weakly.

Lu Xiaozuo looked around, and sure enough, he made a big fuss. I don't know when it started, but there were already a few aunts standing on the side, looking straight this way. He was a little embarrassed, so he immediately stood up, pulled Amei, and walked away quickly to the west.

The Chenghuang Temple in Shuncheng was built in the west of the city, which is much more deserted than the prosperity of the eastern part of the city. However, this temple looks very new on the outside, and it should have been renovated not long ago.

The City God of this world is the righteous god canonized by the heavenly court, and there are many deputy gods under him, who are responsible for managing the spirits and ghosts of a place and guarding one side. However, as an important part of the Shinto system, the temple also plays the role of the hub of the Three Realms.

Lu Xiaozuo had already taken Ah Mei to the lobby at this time. The incense in the lobby is not broken. He looked around and saw that there was no one else, then took out a jade plaque and silently recited a mantra. After the incantation was recited, the figures of the two flashed and disappeared in place.

Nandu, one of the five ghost capitals. The five ghosts are not in the three realms of heaven, mortal, and underworld, but between the mortal world and the underworld, which is a sub-realm created by ancient times, and is the intersection of the mortal world and the underworld. Those who possess the Dao Rank can be guided to this realm with the Boundary Plate. And Shuncheng is in the south, and it is this southern capital that comes.

It was not the first time that Lu Xiaozuo and Amei had come here, but at this time, Amei was clinging to the master, looking nervous, she didn't like it here.

The two of them are now in a huge square, and the square is full of people, so lively. These so-called people are not all humans, there are monsters like giants, and there are also small imps. More often than not, there are ghost-like black shadows, which is an ability of the oni capital to use the boundary card to hide its own image. Now, in the eyes of others, Lu Xiaozuo and Amei are just two dark shadows.

On the edge of the square is a splendid palace city. Above the vermilion gate in the middle are written two blood-red characters of "City God", which is extraordinary. Every time he saw this, Lu Xiaozuo was amazed, this was much more magnificent than the Forbidden City in his original world, and he really didn't know what the situation was like in the heavenly realm.

At this time, the gate of the city god is closed, but there are quite a few small doors open on both sides of the gate, and people are also coming and going. When those giant monsters walk into the small door, they will slowly become smaller, and then slowly become larger after they come out, and they are not abrupt.

Lu Xiaozuo didn't communicate with the others, but took Ah Mei into the small door of "Gong Cao Si" written on it. Before entering the door, there were other people coming in and out of the door, but after entering the door, only the two of them were left, and they had been restored to their original appearance.

This is a small room, there is only a rectangular table in the room, the table is jet black, the material can not be seen, it looks like stone and jade. There was a man sitting across the table, who said he was human, but his face was pale and lifeless.

Lu Xiaozuo knew that this was a ghost service.

"What can I do for you, honorable Daoist. The ghost servant saw the two men come in and spoke.

The two walked over to the table and sat down. Lu Xiaozuo took out the jade plaque from his arms and put it on the table. The table top flashed, revealing rows of small, glowing white letters.

Name: Lu Xiaozuo

Good deeds: 967

Virtuous: 18

This is Lu Xiaozuo's merit value. Merit is the most important criterion in the world's Shinto system. Generally, after death, the prefectural judge will make a judgment based on his life deeds, which will affect the person's reincarnation. But for those who have the Dao, merit is visible. Merit is divided into merit and merit, and good deeds can be exchanged for some specific items, or they can be obtained by completing tasks under the Shinto system. Of course, you can also use good deeds to post quests in the Shinto system. But virtue is not good, virtue is judged by heaven, not controlled by people.

Of course, where there is good, there is evil, but as for evil, there is a different set of rules.

It can be said that merit is the points of the Heavenly Dao, and it is one of the most practical tools for the Heavenly Emperor to maintain the rule of the Three Realms.

Lu Xiaozuo took out the bottle of the little demon he had just caught, put it on the table, pushed it in front of the ghost servant and said, "Yellow list task little demon, exchange for good deeds." ”

The ghost glanced at it, and did not reach for it, but pressed it on the table, and the table seemed to melt, and the small porcelain vase was soon gone.

After a while, the ghost cha looked at the lower desktop, looked up at Lu Xiaozuo, and said: "The little demon of evil fate, the third order of the young child, can be exchanged for 22 good deeds, whether to confirm the exchange." ”

"Confirmed. "22 Good deeds, 4 points more than expected, so that it is closer to the goal.

999 points of good deeds, redeem one place for the entry trial of the first-class immortal gate, limited to children under the age of eight.

This is the goal that Lu Xiaozuo has been striving for over the years. Immortal Sect is a sect of cultivating immortals in the mortal world, although there is a complete humane ruling class in the mortal world, but this world is actually ruled by immortals, and cultivating immortals is the only way to enter the upper level. Every immortal gate has a background in the fairy world.

This is the best thing he can get and give Ame at the moment. As long as you can participate in the trial, with Amei's talent, it is not difficult to enter the Immortal Gate.

And if Amei has been following her, waiting for a good day when danger comes, she may not have enough strength to protect her. After coming to this world for ten years, Lu Xiaozuo knew very well that only by letting Amei enter the immortal gate could he have enough strength to protect her.

And Lu Xiaozuo wanted to enter the Immortal Gate and practice the power to protect Amei, but it was quite difficult.

99999 good deeds, 9999 good virtues, and immortal fate. This is Lu Xiaozuo's most promising way to achieve immortals at present, but it is also completely impossible to achieve a path.

Therefore, Amei must be sent to Xianmen, even if she just promised not to send her away.

"Help me update the Yellow List task again. ”

"Okay. After a while, the ghost service operation was completed, and the small porcelain vase floated up again. The ghost servant pushed the small porcelain bottle back in front of Lu Xiaozuo and said, "The Yellow List mission has been updated. Recently, there is a land ranking mission in the south, which requires a lot of strength, but the danger rating is not high, and the Taoist can pay attention to it when he has time. ”

Recommended tasks? This is quite rare. Generally, extremely urgent tasks are recommended and the rewards are lucrative.

But the land list? Heaven and earth are yellow, and the task is divided into four levels according to the reward, with the highest sky and the last yellow. I have always been at the end of the yellow list to catch small tasks that no one cares about. Dibang, hehe, I still want to live a little longer.

He looked at Ah Mei next to him, he hadn't said a word since he entered the ghost capital, so let's leave here first.

"Okay, thank you. Let's send us back to the world directly. Lu Xiaozuo took back the small porcelain vase and stood up with Amei.

"Okay, welcome next time. The ghost servant finished speaking and was on the table again.

The next moment, the two of them had returned to the Chenghuang Temple in the west of the city.

Lu Xiaozuo saw Amei exhale, and said, "Amei, next time you wait here, don't follow you to the ghost capital, okay?"

"Amei is fine, she just doesn't want to disturb the master. You see, Ame is so energetic now. After Ah Mei finished speaking, she giggled and jumped up and down in front of Lu Xiaozuo.

"You. Lu Xiaozuo was about to reach out and touch Amei's head when he heard footsteps coming from the back hall. Ame also stopped.

I saw a middle-aged man walking out of the back hall. When the man saw the two of them, he made a gesture and said politely: "Two, the abbot of the lower city god." ”

"The abbot is good. Lu Xiaozuo returned the salute.

"The Taoist is young, but he has entered the Tao, and he really admires it. ”

Generally speaking, only those who have entered the Tao can obtain the Tao and enter and exit the ghost capital. But Lu Xiaozuo is a special case, now he is just a mortal who breaks the dust realm, but he doesn't break it, he just smiles.

"Dao Chief, there is an uninvited invitation below. The abbot continued.

"Huh?" Lu Xiaozuo looked at him.

"Two months ago, Master Chenghuang said that he was out on errands, and he took the three masters out of the house, and he has not returned yet. ”

The three masters should be the deputy gods of the city god. Could it be related to the task of the land list that he just heard? Lu Xiaozuo felt that there should be some connection between these two things, but this was not something he could provoke, so it was better to avoid it.

"If Chenghuang is not in his position in March, he can report to the prefecture, and the abbot can wait for another month. ”

"I know below, but only what I ask for, not what I want from Chenghuang, please come with me. ”

After speaking, the abbot led the two to the courtyard of the front door. He pointed to the four corners and said, "Dao Chief, please see, there should be four mud ghosts here, who are the servants of the City God's servant ghost slaves. The city god was still there when he went out, and now the city god is not there, and no one can serve him, but now there are only three left. These days, there have been two people in the city who have committed madness, and the medicine stone is useless, I guess it should be this mud ghost who has committed evil and gone out to cause trouble, so I implore the Taoist chief to help and arrest him. ”

The abbot bowed to Lu Xiaozuo as he spoke, and said, "Afterwards, I will definitely repay the merits for the Taoist chief." ”
