Chapter 206: City God
Zhang Qian once helped Gu Zhigong and Li Yu gather the power of incense and faith to reunite the gods, and the whole process was already familiar with the road, without the slightest hindrance.
However, in a moment, the power of those scattered incense beliefs will be based on the Chenghuang Edict on the altar as the bone vein, attached to it, become flesh and blood, skin hair, these incense faith power was originally gathered by King Jing in the name of the Chenghuang Edict, and this edict is naturally very consistent, the integration process is extremely smooth, the outline of the Chenghuang god body on the altar looms, it is a white-faced, There is quite a rich image of a businessman, the city god in the world is a great benevolent person with deep merits selected from the mortal world, this Puyang City City God was a giant merchant in Shuzhou during his lifetime, repairing bridges and roads, donating money to schools, relieving disaster victims, and accumulating countless merits, so he was awarded a city god after his death.
However, now this appearance is a little miserable and scary, with blue lips, blood in his eyes, and his hair is blue like a ghost, and his whole body is even more gloomy and terrifying.
This city god is the god of heaven and earth, naturally it will not be such a person, not a ghost, not a ghost, but Zhang Qian's power of incense belief for his reunion of the god body is plundered from King Jing, but he is recruited from tens of thousands of yin gods and evil ghosts, not the power of faith in the world, so the reunited god body and the Yin Cao ghosts and gods are actually the same appearance, like black and white impermanence, bull head and horse face, but also with a gloomy and terrifying evil atmosphere, the ghosts of Yin Cao are at least subject to the prohibition of the underworld, and these yin gods in Puyang City are wandering ghosts, lawless, Unrestrained, unscrupulous, and evil in the heart, how can the faith in the incense offered be pure and clean?
Fortunately, these incense beliefs were dominated by this edict at the beginning, and now they have not been counterattacked, if other people or gods are replaced and forcibly devour these incense beliefs, the end is doomed to be miserable.
Rao is like this, this Puyang City City God was still delirious at the beginning of its birth, looking crazy and stupid.
From the altar to open his eyes, the corners of his mouth smiled, his face was pale as wax, looking extremely terrifying and gloomy, and then he looked down at his body, and a piercing strange laugh erupted in his throat, but it was worse than crying, a little ecstatic, The taste of crying with joy, but his appearance is not a ghost or a ghost, and it is difficult to guess his emotions from the messy expression on his face, it seems that he is excited to come back from the dead, and then he raised his head, and his cold gaze swept around, but he saw Zhang Qian, who was standing with his hands not far from the altar, and the depths of his pupils suddenly became fierce, and his body turned into a wisp of afterimage, and he suddenly pounced, and suddenly there was a gust of wind around him.
After the reunited god body of this city god in Puyang City, it was also stronger than the ghost god incarnation of King Jing.
King Jing manipulates the incarnation of ghosts and gods, and must spend most of the divine soul power to suppress the divine thoughts in the edict, but this city god can completely dominate these powers, and when it comes to it, the gloomy atmosphere in the void is pervasive, making people feel like they are trapped in the deep sea, and it is extremely difficult to breathe, and the solid ground is also covered with a layer of frost as the city god passes, and then it is blown up by the wind, and it turns into dust and sand, which is exquisite** The ground in the tower is washed by the vitality of heaven and earth, and it is extremely solid, like a land plate in the depths of the world, but it is eroded by this yin wind, which shows how gloomy the aura of this city god is, and how strong the strength is!
However, Zhang Qian's expression was the same, without the slightest change, and with a push of his hand, the entire space seemed to freeze into ice.
The city god of Puyang City suddenly looked like an insect in amber, imprisoned in the void, his eyes were wide open, and he was secretly angry, but he gradually woke up, as if he remembered something.
"Who are you?" a sombre, hostile thought came from the frozen void.
"Poor Dao, Jingzhou Zhaoyang City, Seven Leaves Guanguan, the Lord is a Taoist person. Zhang Qian bowed slightly, reported to his home, and then said: "Please be calm and don't be impatient, you and I are friends and not enemies." ”
After that, Zhang Qian waved his sleeves, the power of imprisonment in the space was unraveled, and the city god was able to get out, slightly moved his stiff body, although his mind was still a mess, but he remembered some things, and also knew his identity, naturally he would no longer be an enemy of Zhang Qian, and he was unable to distinguish the truth of Zhang Qian's test, and the other party could not make himself move between his hands, obviously the situation was now unreasonable for him to assert, and then raised his eyes to look around, only to see that the space was slightly narrow, the five elements of spiritual energy were abundant, but it was running in an orderly manner, and the power of his own soul could not be mobilized at all, which meant that in this space, his strength could not even be brought into play。
"What is this place?" asked Cheng God, turning his head.
"In the next magic weapon. Zhang Qian was blunt and did not hide it.
Puyang City Chenghuang looked down at the ground under his feet, and also felt the wisps of heaven and earth vitality fluttering up, a little shocked, he was a businessman before his death, how meticulous his mind was, he immediately found that something was wrong, and frowned: "This is an ancient spiritual treasure, right?" Zhang Qian is now in control of the overall situation, and he is not afraid of any variables that will be born from this person, and he is too lazy to pretend to deceive, nodding, Chenghuang saw this, his brows became tighter and tighter, staring at Zhang Qian's eyebrows, and asked word by word: " Then who are you, the master of a small Taoist temple, just a little-known scattered cultivator, how can you have an ancient spiritual treasure that even a human immortal master can hardly possess?"
"I am friends with Emperor Dongyue. Zhang Qian said casually, although there is a bit of a taste of pulling tiger skin to make a banner, but what Emperor Dongyue has done for him, although the two have never met, they can be regarded as friends of God.
When the city god of Puyang City heard this, he was in awe, but he was a little suspicious, how could Emperor Dongyue be such a noble person, how could he have any communication with the master of his small Taoist temple.
What's more, Emperor Dongyue is extremely mysterious, although he was enshrined by him, but he has never seen the true face, and it is hard to believe it for a while.
Zhang Qian could see that there was some suspicion in his expression, but he didn't care, and continued: "I saved you for the sake of Emperor Dongyue's face, otherwise how could he take such a risk?"
"So, did Your Excellency save me?" Hearing this, the city god of Puyang City looked a little more respectful, and the doubts in his heart gradually faded.
Zhang Qian nodded and said, "I will kill King Jing, regain the edict for you, and gather the power of incense faith for you to reshape the divine body." ”
"Thank you for saving your life. The city god of Puyang City bowed his head, but it was difficult to hear a little gratitude in his words, not that the tone was insincere, but that he was worried at the moment, as if he had a lot of sorrow, and his heart was secretly thinking for a moment, although he knew that some words were out of place and some hurtful, but it was related to his future creation and fate, so he had to ask clearly, and frowned: "I don't know where the power of the incense faith of Engong to reunite the divine body for me comes from?" When he said this, he had no confidence, squinted his eyes slightly, and didn't dare to look at his appearance, but in fact, when he saw his own appearance of being a ghost or a ghost, he had a guess in his heart, but he didn't dare to admit it.
Zhang Qian's hand was helpless.
"Now that the dragon veins of Puyang City have been eroded by the breath emanating from the underworld, they have broken and sunk, I don't know where the dragon eye of the earth veins has changed, and all the creatures in the city have died, and they can't condense the power of faith, and I can't help you reunite the divine body, so I have been forced to plunder a ghost and god incarnation of King Najing, and transfer the power of incense faith contained in it to you. Zhang Qian said truthfully.
After hearing this, the city god of Puyang City was depressed, and he looked like he was crying and grieving, if it weren't for Zhang Qian pestle in front of him, he had to take into account human feelings, and he was afraid that he would have to beat his chest.
"Engong's move has hurt me!" "The city god of Puyang City cried with a sad face, but his voice was not loud, and he did not dare to have the slightest hint of complaining and blaming, no matter what, Zhang Qian saved his life, and the difference in status and strength between the two sides was so great, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, Zhang Qian just laughed when he heard this, and he didn't get angry about it, he knew what he was afraid of, and now in this appearance, he can't show his face in front of the righteous path, and his faith contains evil** , he is no longer the god of heaven and earth, and he cannot be tolerated in the Shinto, although he has reunited the god body for him, but with this appearance of no human or ghost, he still can't live, and can only fall in the end.
"Don't worry, since I have helped you reunite with the divine body, I will not care about your future situation, as long as you help me with all your heart, and ensure that your future is bright. Zhang Qian smiled slightly, not exaggerating the big sea, but his tone was very sincere.
Hearing this, the city god of Puyang City was extremely excited as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know where Engong needs me to help?"
"It's not a private matter, if you do it well, it's a move for the benefit of the common people, and you will have countless merits. Zhang Qian's eyes closed slightly, and asked: "As the city god of Puyang City, the corresponding situation of this land within a radius of thousands of miles should be well understood, and Fuyang City is the most serious place where the ghost plague broke out in Shuzhou, and the embankment of thousands of miles has been destroyed and has become a desolate ghost domain. ”
"Since the outbreak of the ghost plague, a lot of things have gone haywire, and it's been a mess. The city god of Puyang City frowned, as if he was thinking about his memory, after all, this divine body was reunited, and it was extremely difficult to recall.
"You don't have to be in a hurry, take your time to remember. Zhang Qian waved his sleeves, attracting Yimu aura to condense into a table and stool, and then gently stretched out his hand and asked the city god of Puyang City to sit down, so that the atmosphere was not so tense and cramped, and then he asked on the side, and said in a gentle tone: "What was the situation at the beginning of the outbreak of the ghost plague?" I got the news from the Daomen, I heard that the ghost king is just alone, and his strength is ordinary, just an ordinary bull-headed ghost general in the underworld, even if he can compete with the Jindan immortals, but there are many human immortal masters in the righteous path of Shuzhou, and the earth is all over the place, like a net, how can he be wantonly troubled?"
"At the beginning, the people in the righteous path also underestimated this bull-headed ghost general, so they suffered a big loss, among the Yin Division, the bull leader Chishu edict, even if the perennial division catches ghosts and chases the murderer, the strength is far better than the same god in the world, but as Engong said, at most, it is almost the same as the Jindan immortals, and the strength in the yang world will be greatly reduced, at the beginning, only Yangshan Xiaodongtian sent a few princes to chase and suppress, but this bull-headed ghost will flee all the way, the strength has risen all the way, and there is a black stone in his hand, I don't know what kind of ghost Dao Lingbao is, it seems to be bland, thrown out, Jindan people and immortals are crushed into minced meat, and when this bull head escapes into the territory of my Puyang City, Yangshan Xiaodongtian three princes were killed and injured, the two injured were destroyed, and they could only be reincarnated and rebuilt, and the dead Jin Dan was shattered, and his soul was scattered. Fuyang Cheng Chenghuang swallowed his saliva as he spoke, as if he had palpitations.
Zhang Qianyan was also a little shocked when he heard this, the sect system of Yangshan Xiaodongtian is slightly different from Xiaowei Mountain, but there are similarities, among which the Fujun is equivalent to the master of a peak in Xiaowei Mountain.
There are thirty-six mansions in Yangshan Xiaodongtian, each of whom is at least a master of human immortals in the realm of Jindan, and there are four Taoist masters above this, who are the founders of Yangshan Xiaodongtian. It can be said that the four great avenue lords and the thirty-six princes are the backbone of Yangshan Xiaodongtian, and the accumulation of these people for thousands of years, chasing and killing a ghost general, is the loss of three people, it is a little unbelievable, and now there is no news flowing out of the righteous path, it seems that Yangshan Xiaodongtian will also press this matter very tightly, once this news leaks, it is likely to shake its status as the number one faction in Shuzhou Daomen.
"At the beginning, the big battle took place more than 100 miles outside Puyang City, only the aftermath spread out, and I was injured, and even the dragon veins of Puyang City were broken and displaced, and that night the southwest of Shuzhou was extremely cold overnight, and it was summer at that time, and the people in the territory did not prepare anything for the winter at all, and as a result, nearly a million people were all frozen to death overnight. The city god of Puyang City said bitterly.
"What happened?" Zhang Qian continued to ask, according to the time mentioned by the city god of Puyang City. Incident, and referring to the news provided by Fairy Wangxia, Zhang Qian has already deduced the whereabouts of this bull-headed ghost general.
Presumably, when he left Xiaowei Cave Heaven, it was the time when the bull-headed ghost would flee, and he thought of the attack on the Xiaowei Mountain sect, the bull-headed ghost general was said to have escaped from the direction of Xiaowei Mountain, and then entered the ghost city of Xudu to destroy the seal and prohibition, and then escaped from Longmen Gorge to the southwest of Shuzhou. The direction of the time when the Wushengzi and his party came out of the mountain is very consistent, it seems that the demon chased by a few people is very likely to be the same person as the bull-headed ghost general who set off the ghost trouble, so it seems that the sea toad and his party are probably more auspicious and less, although these two people are the heroes of the Jindan people and immortals, but the three princes of Yangshan Xiaodongtian are not mediocre, and the end of the three people is so miserable, and the two of them are still leading a group of people who are dragging their feet, and the end is probably not much better.
What's more, they are still deep into the enemy's territory, and if they don't know the situation and are unprepared, they may encounter even more danger.
Zhang Qian even felt that several of his people were killed, he had been walking in Shuzhou for several months, and he had never heard any news about several people.
However, this is not bad news for him, if something happens to the sea toad, he will have one less strong enemy.
"Later, after the ghost general killed and injured the three princes of the mansion, he gathered the souls of the unjustly killed people, and formed a 'Ten Thousand Ghosts Reverse Current Array' to break through the barrier between the underworld and the human world, and countless powerful yin gods escaped from the underworld, and the underworld now seems to have suffered great changes, the underworld is chaotic, and there is no time to take care of these evil ghosts who flee like the human world, and even many of the fleeing evil ghosts are underworld ghosts and gods. The city god of Puyang City said in fear.
Recalling the events of that day, almost life and death were on the line, and now I am still extremely afraid.
"How do you know that there has been a great change in the Yin Division?" Zhang Qian suddenly asked, now that the ghosts in the human world have broken out, most of the evil ghosts wandering in the human world have escaped from the Yin Cao Mansion, and they have spread again and again, without any curbing trend, and they know that there is something wrong with the Yin Si system with their toes, but when they said this from the mouth of the Chenghuang of Fuyang City, they were extremely sure, not like a speculative tone, sure enough, as soon as they asked, the Chenghuang opened his mouth to explain the reason, and said: "That's the original The Ten Thousand Ghosts Countercurrent Great Array' has opened up the barrier between the Netherworld and the human world in several low-lying canyons in the nearby mountains, the nearest one is only more than 170 miles away from Puyang City, which is the scope of my jurisdiction, although I was seriously injured at the beginning, but I can still control some of the conditions in the jurisdiction, and it is also through this passage that I can see the situation in the Netherworld Mansion, which is already chaotic, and the hundred ghosts are rampant, thousands of times more chaotic than the human world. ”
"Is that passage still there now?" Zhang Qian asked with interest.
"It's closed now. Puyang City Chenghuang said: "Although the bull-headed ghost general killed and injured the three palace monarchs, but two of the palace monarchs escaped from Jindan, but within one day, they brought in rescuers, a full seventeen palace monarchs, and even a Taoist master of the realm of the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan. Zhang Qianyan was surprised when he heard this, it seems that what Fairy Wangxia said is definitely not false, this bull-headed ghost will definitely have a heavy responsibility, but he insists on going to the wild place for the demon clan great sage to get out of trouble, otherwise it is not worth the small cave of Yangshan to work so hard, but such a battle, the bull-headed ghost will be the means to the sky and have nine lives, and he should die, he was puzzled for a while, and asked: "How did he get away?"
"The bull-headed ghost general was not able to leave, when he saw the people in the Daomen coming, he withdrew the big array, ready to escape, but was still surrounded by a flood, how to know the critical moment, but there was another group of people out of the air, it seems to be the people of the Xiaoweishan Demon Sect, and somehow, it was inexplicably encountered together, and there was a conflict, between the battles, the Xiaoweishan side was defeated, a group of more than a dozen people, only three people escaped, or under the desperate cover of a Jindan immortal, only to kill a bloody road, and Yangshan Xiaodongtian also had two princes fell, the battle can be described as extremely fierce, the bull-headed ghost general actually took this opportunity to escape。 The city god of Puyang City recalled the situation of that day, but he still couldn't understand it.
Two groups of people, the battle is huge, and they are fighting, and the breath radiates hundreds of miles, you can feel it from a distance, if it is not for the deep hatred, the two sects of righteousness and demons generally avoid each other, but they collided together at the beginning.
It seems to be accidental, but it is not accidental.
