The Chenghuang Lord enshrined in the Rouge County Chenghuang Pavilion is named Shen Wen. He was the Yushitai doctor of Caiyi Kingdom during his lifetime. He was well-known for his uprightness and uprightness, leaving behind a legacy of "life as a man". The famous saying "A loyal minister will die a straight ghost" has been popular for three hundred years.
Because Xu Yuanxia and Zhang Shanfeng had visited the Chenghuang Pavilion before, Chen Pingan was familiar with the roads. The Rouge County Chenghuang Pavilion was divided into four halls, with two originally majestic painted clay sculptures of heavenly officials. Standing in front of the Yimen, it was just that the situation was already terrible, with snakes and rats infestation.
Chen Pingan walked dozens of steps along the wall, but there was still no evil thing showing up in Chenghuang Pavilion Square, so Chen Pingan no longer hesitated. , offering a Yang Qi Lantern Talisman hidden in his sleeve. The yellow paper talisman hovered at an arm's length in front of Chen Pingan, floating slightly. When Chen Pingan took a step, it automatically flew slowly towards the Yimen. Go, Chen Ping'an was determined in his heart. Although the City God's Pavilion suffered a disaster and the entire square was completely unrecognizable, the buildings behind the City God's Pavilion must still have spiritual energy left. Otherwise, the lamp-carrying talisman would not move forward and would be destined to retreat towards the high wall.
The lamp-lifting talisman exudes a faint yellow halo, and the pure brilliance envelopes Chen Pingan's whole body. Wherever his feet pass, the five poisonous things on the ground, including centipedes and scorpions, appear. They all fled away. When they passed the Yimen, they were probably affected by the ripples of light from the lamp-lifting talisman. The snakes, rats and scorpions on the two Taoist heavenly official statues on the left and right all circled behind the clay statues from the front, or hid in the hollow. abdomen.
Chen Pingan held his breath and continued to move forward slowly. Behind the Yimen is the main hall, with a gold-lettered plaque hanging. The deity worshiped in the main hall is not the City God. It is a seated statue of one of the founding military generals of the Caiyi Kingdom. On the left and right are the civil and military judges and a total of eight subordinate officials. On the plaque inscribed by the late Emperor of Caiyi Kingdom, most of the gold paint was peeled off at the moment. There was a big black snake as thick as the mouth of a bowl, coiled on it, with its body hanging down. It stretched out its head and spat out the snake message towards Chen Ping'an. It made a squeaking sound, like It is a demonstration and a warning.
When Chen Pingan crossed the threshold, the black snake suddenly jumped over and opened its bloody mouth. Chen Pingan twisted his waist and turned sideways without raising his head, grabbing the black snake with his five fingers. With a flick of the snake's head and a flick of the wrist, the beast suddenly became soft and boneless. When it was thrown out, it fell heavily to the ground and was already dead.
Chen Pingan followed the dangling lamplight charm and continued forward. After passing the main hall, there was another square, but it occupied a smaller area. There is a stone tablet standing among the ancient trees. It is the imperial edict of the Emperor of Caiyi Kingdom to confer the city god of a country. At that time, Chen Pingan stood in front of the tablet and looked at it for a long time, and finally came to the conclusion that the writing was really ordinary. Not even comparable to the young Cui Chan.
It’s a good thing that the great Li national master who has been renamed Cui Dongshan is not around, otherwiseHe must be very angry.
There are the Temple of Wealth and the Temple of Taisui on the left and right of the square. One burns incense and kowtows, praying for abundant wealth. If one is destined to be Taisui in a week, he hopes that there will be no disasters, so the common people kowtow here, which seems to be better than the other. Prostrating in the main hall is more pious.
The lamp-carrying charm flew straight forward, and Chen Pingan followed closely without stopping at all.
Chen Pingan suddenly looked back. The tall stone tablet standing under the ancient cypress tree seemed to have a white shadow flashing away.
From the Taisui Hall of the Temple of Wealth on both sides, the female voices of Yingying Yanyan were vaguely heard. They were extremely subtle and seemed to be teasing each other. Behind the charm, there was a coldness, like The female ghost in the underworld is making a sound to the sun, and her laughter seeps through the boundary between yin and yang a little bit. With the shade of the ancient trees, she enters the square through the windows from the two halls, only to be illuminated by sparse sunlight. The snow melted and became much lighter, but it still reached Chen Pingan's ears.
Chen Pingan frowned and turned around.
As long as you walk a dozen steps forward, you can enter the main hall of the Chenghuang Pavilion, which is dedicated to the former imperial censor Shen Wen.
Except for the two swords in the wooden box which are just for show for the time being, the two flying swords in the sword gourd can be described as an absolute masterpiece besides boxing. Main force.
But among the foreign objects, like the Yang Qi Lantern Talisman, they come from the ancient book "The Authentic Alchemy Book" presented by Li Xisheng. Chen Pingan also has two golden pagoda demon-suppressing charms. , after destroying the copper coins in the oil-paper umbrella in the ancient house, Chen Ping'an was afraid of an accident and drew a temporary talisman to make it. Later, in the battle with the ancient tree demon named Chu, he was killed by Chu Yi before he could use it. Shi Fifteen killed him with two swords one after another, killing an incarnation of an ancient elm tree.
Then there is one Yang Qi Lantern Talisman and three Shrinking Earth Talisman left. The latter is mainly used in conjunction with the drumming style of the gods. Of course, it is used to escape, and it is certainly not as good as the Taoist Zhang. The magical talisman lent to him by the mountain peak was inferior.
The moment Chen Pingan turned his head.
On the top of the stone tablet, a woman in white appeared, sitting on the top of the stone tablet, with disheveled hair, and a black hair covering her face, making her face unclear.
But she stretched out a finger, only dry bones and no flesh and blood were left. She tapped the top of the stone tablet lightly with her bony finger, and a spring of blood instantly appeared, flowing down and sliding down quickly. The simple inscription with more than a thousand words on the stone tablet seems to have turned into a bright red blood letter.
But the strange thing is that the woman's white clothes are still spotless, without even a drop of blood.
The woman raised her head, her face still covered with black hair, and began to sing gracefully. I wonder if it was an ancient folk song that had been lost in Caiyi Country. With a white bone finger, he twisted a roll of black hair and shook it gently. His feet were not wearing shoes, and they were alternately made of bones and flesh, but there was more flesh and blood than the fingers. His feet were dangling, splashing blood on the stone tablets. .
Compared with the blur of laughter and laughter in the two halls on the left and right, the singing voice of the woman in white was clearly audible, and the ancient cypress above her head rustled with the wind, as if she was singing in harmony with it.
The woman seemed to have reached a happy point in singing, and then raised a bone palm and turned it over gently.
The closed doors of the Taisui Hall of the Temple of Wealth on both sides opened with a snap, and a man staggered out of each other. The man who walked out of the Temple of Wealth was young and had one arm. He was cut off at the shoulder level and disappeared, but the bleeding had stopped. The remaining hand was dragging a green-edged sword. His face was white and his eyes were dull.
The middle-aged man in green shirt walked out of Taisui Hall, his head drooped, and he limped across the threshold. Upon closer inspection, this man actually had a sharp weapon on his neck. After chopping, the head was held in place by only a little flesh and blood.
As the woman in white on the stone tablet turned her wrist, the two staggering men suddenly became flexible and vigorous in their movements and began to dance in the square. It turned out that on the fingertips of the woman in white, there were traces of transparent light hanging in the air, like snow-white spider threads. The spider threads wrapped around the limbs of the two dead men, controlling their every minute movement.
In the two main halls where the doors were opened, women in white were constantly dragging billowing black smoke, floating rapidly near the door. Looking at the man's appearance, they giggled and were filled with excitement. The sarcasm and hatred were just reflected in the sunlight outside the door, like a chasm, preventing them from stepping out easily. However, four or five women in white couldn't help it, and rushed out quickly with bursts of black smoke, surrounding the two people. The man's corpse was spinning, and he kept teasing the man's pale face with his fingers, passing around their backs and flying up from their armpits. However, they also paid the price for this momentary joy, which completely disappeared after being exposed to the sun.
Chen Ping'an stood outside the threshold of the main hall. The Yang Qi Lantern Talisman seemed to have hit a wall, bumping and swaying again and again, and stopped moving forward.
The yang energy contained in the yellow paper talismans gradually disappeared.
Chen Pingan stretched out his hand, his palm seemed to be attached to a layer of winter river ice On the surface, even with slightly increased force, it still couldn't be broken.
Chen Ping'an put his fingers together, turned around and suddenly twisted his wrist, and the aura moved himThe few remaining lamp-raising charms flew quickly towards the square and circled around the heads of the two puppet corpses. The two men fell to the ground with a crash, and the light on their bodies was broken one by one, and the corpses After falling to the ground, blood flowed freely.
The woman in white retracted her hand and was not angry. On the contrary, the women in the two halls bared their teeth and claws, looking at Chen Pingan with hatred in their eyes.
As long as you fall into evil spirits, no matter how compassionate you are during your lifetime, you will no longer have the inherent goodness of human nature as the Confucian sub-sage calls it. If you draw water from a bamboo basket, nothing will be left in the end.
This is the will of God.
Chen Pingan looked at the back of the woman on the stone tablet and said softly: "Miss, the dead are the most important. No matter what grudges you had during your lifetime, Just forget it?"
The woman in white ignored it and continued singing, this time using the elegant language of Aquarius Island, which Chen Pingan understood.
"The appearance is like a haggard corpse, and the heart is as gray as death...True knowledge, don't hold on to it. The matchmaker is obscure, unintentional and cannot be plotted. Who is that person..."
p>The woman's voice was gentle, with a hint of calmness and peace, and no trace of resentment or hatred could be heard.
Chen Pingan could understand the general outline of the text, but could not understand the deep meaning contained in it.
Chen Ping'an didn't have the time to speculate on this. Now the main hall of the City God's Pavilion is isolated from the outside by some kind of magic. It should be that the City God is being detained and is not allowed to go out to patrol the county. Help Rouge County survive this upcoming catastrophe.
In the main hall behind Chen Pingan is the City God's Hall, which enshrines three statues of the City God, including Shen Wen. The statue of Shen Wen is more than three feet high, requiring pilgrims and tourists to look up. There are statues of civil and military gods on the left and right. They are also two feet tall, holding iron maces and official seals respectively.
It is said that two hundred years ago, a Taoist named Zhang from other continents traveled here and was impressed by the simple folk customs of Rouge County. After returning to his hometown, the contemporary Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain soon became the He was given a "Chenghuang Xianyou Bo Seal of Rouge County in Caiyi Country". At that time, everyone knew that the young Taoist priest was actually a noble person from the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain. This beautiful story was known to all over the continent and was rumored in the market. , that golden seal with a distinguished origin has long been secretly kept in the treasury by the emperor of Caiyi Kingdom.
There is also a huge mural inside, with ninety-nine and eighty-one beauties with flying sleeves.
It was praised by later generations as "the ink color is like life, and the blowing air is like life".
Seeing that the woman in white was indifferent, Chen Pingan said nothing more and quietly patted the sword gourd on his waist.
He turned around and punched the "ice" with his fist. Ripples rippled out and the three statues in the Chenghuang Pavilion inside the threshold seemed to be shaking.
Chen Pingan walked slowly with six steps, hitting the ice with one punch after another, just like a god beating a drum.
Of course, we must also beware of the violence of the woman on the other side of the stone monument.
A sigh sounded from a towering ancient tree, it was the voice of a girl, "Fool, that is the formation set up by two great monks of the fifth realm. It was my master who knew how to do it for a while." There's nothing you can do, otherwise the Lord Cheng Huang wouldn't be able to get out. You want to beat him with force? Save your energy and leave this place as soon as possible before the female ghost has murderous intentions for you. If a fool breaks in again, you will be a dancing marionette."
Maybe Chen Pingan punched too "as he pleased", so he couldn't show any power.
It is inevitable that the strange girl hiding in the tree will feel contempt.
After the battle with Ma Kuxuan in the small street, Chen Ping'an's boxing intention has become more and more restrained, and his usual boxing moves are slower, which is more in line with the word "warmth and nourishment". Generally speaking, the martial arts style at the bottom of the martial arts world, the reason why foreign martial arts will have the result of "recruiting evil spirits" is that they do not use the right method and do not go into the hall. As a result, the more diligently they practice boxing, the more they hurt the body and soul.
However, although Chen Pingan walked slowly, the speed of the Qi machine when practicing the sword furnace was infinitely faster. If before, it could only be an ordinary post station message, speeding up, then Now it’s an eight-hundred-mile rush.
This mysterious state of "putting it away" is not a solid martial arts master of the sixth or seventh realm, and there is absolutely no depth.
The woman in white suddenly stopped singing, turned her head, and stared at Chen Pingan's eighteenth punch.
With one punch, like Hong Zhong Da Lu, the energy in the entire square was shaken, and the stone tablet soaked with blood suddenly made a cracking sound.
She screamed, piercing her eardrums, and like a general giving an order, the women floating in the two halls turned into two billowing plumes of smoke, melting into the ice together, using their remaining The spirit of Yin Wu strengthened the filthy formation, and a black smoke shot straight at Chen Pingan, trying its best to interrupt Chen Pingan's continuous punches and prevent him from delivering the nineteenth punch in the style of a god beating a drum.
"I was killed by you, a daredevil! If I die here today, then we will walk together on the road to hell. If I don't scold you to death... I will die." ...This girl is already annoyed to death even before she’s dead!”
On the top of the ancient tree, the girl finished complaining angrily, and without hesitation, a graceful figure emerged and issued a series of dings. Ding dong dong crispThe sound, as the sound lingered around the body, also brought up circles of pale golden flowers. The graceful figure was a feast for the eyes.
The face of the woman in white was covered by thick black hair. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her eyes were coldly sarcastic.
She stretched out her two skeletal palms and patted them gently.
In the main hall of the City God Pavilion, the statues of civil and military gods accompanying the City God squeaked as if they came to life, shaking off huge splashes of dust. At the same time, he stepped out of the altar and stepped on the bluestone floor of the main hall. Then two clay statues with a height of two feet strode towards the threshold. Among them, the statue holding an iron mace hit the boy on the head with his mace, and the other one held a spirit weapon. The statue of the civil official with the iron official seal stepped out of the threshold without hesitation, holding the huge iron seal in his hand, and patted the girl.
Originally, breaking the formation would allow the City God to regain his freedom. This is the logical development of the situation. Who would have thought that the real murderous intention was not in the square outside the City God's Hall, not in the gloomy woman in white, but in the City God's Hall where Hope was? So where did Shen Wen, the City God who was supposed to have the golden body of a god, go?
In the City God's Hall, the tallest and most majestic statue in the center, the originally shining golden City God, is now dim and dull, and the ground is covered with gold. All that was left was the golden light shining in a pair of eyes. Any local of Rouge County cannot believe that this is the proud "Jin Cheng Huang" of Rouge County.
Because according to the county annals of Rouge County, nearly one hundred taels of gold foil were used to cover the statue. The county governor of that generation asked his grandfather to report this to the powerful and wealthy businessmen in the county. Grandma, after the donation was successful, a benevolent tablet was specially carved to record the names and families of all those who contributed.
The statue of the main god, covered with gold foil, spoke with difficulty, and his hoarse voice reached the threshold, "You two, hurry up, these evil heretics of unknown origin are numerous, There is only one ghost in white clothes here. If you can escape, you must go to the immortal master of Shen Gaozong or the gentleman and sage of Guanhu Academy. They say that the country of Caiyi is in great danger. Once the country is destroyed, Gu Yu will No one in the six surrounding countries, including the country, was spared!"
It turns out that this Chenghuang Pavilion, which was supposed to protect the people of a county, was clearly unable to protect itself when the clay Buddha crossed the river!
Outside the threshold of the main hall,
First The girl with silver bells on her arms and ankles helped Chen Pingan block the black smoke. Where the four bells sounded, countless pale golden flowers bloomed, dazzling the eyes. The originally menacing black smoke was cut and shattered, but the girlHe was also hit by wisps of black smoke in several places on his body, and he vomited blood, but he still insisted on not retreating. He stood near the daredevil, shaking his wrist, ringing bells, and golden petals, and continued to eliminate those mixed things little by little. Howling black smoke.
Chen Pingan punched his nineteenth punch calmly.
Then there was a remaining line of black smoke, which crazily poured into the "ice surface" that separated the inside and outside of the main hall, helping the formation to remove the cumulative power of the nineteen punches of the god beating the drum. .
Then there are two "rebellious" clay statues. One wields an iron mace and hits Chen Pingan's head, and the other holds a fine iron official seal and slaps the girl on the back of the head.
Chen Pingan looked calm and delivered his twentieth punch at lightning speed, causing the formation to shake violently. Although it has not been broken yet, it is already shaky, and it is only one punch away at most. But Chen Ping'an felt helpless. He couldn't deliver the twenty-first punch like a god beating a drum, but he couldn't just watch the girl and slap the statue of the civil official who rushed out of the threshold to death, otherwise he would be There is a chance to deliver the final punch.
The stone slab beneath Chen Ping'an's feet cracked, and he disappeared in an instant. He avoided the iron hammer that the statue of a military commander hit on his head, and came back in an instant. He went to the side of the statue of the civil servant and punched the waist of the statue in a cavalry formation. This punch was to save people's lives, so Chen Pingan did not dare to hide anything, so that when he punched, his arms were wrapped around the snow-white The fist is full of energy, the fist is vigorous, and there is a vague sound of mighty wind and thunder.
A two-foot-tall clay statue was knocked out by Chen Pingan's punch. The huge statue's feet plowed a ravine on the ground.
When the girl heard the movement behind her, she turned around and roughly guessed the reason. When she turned towards the unspectacular young man with a box in his back, her eyes became dull.
Chen Ping'an didn't care what the girl was thinking. He paused his hands and arms and seemed to be about to punch. In fact, he slipped out two golden pagoda demon-suppressing charms from his sleeves. Quietly attached to the palm of his hand, the statue of a military commander holding an iron mace missed a move, causing the bricks and stones on the ground to explode. He straightened up and swung the iron mace at Chen Pingan again. Chen Pingan had made countless slow punches during his journey southward. But when he wants to be fast.
That’s really fast!
The mace still failed. Chen Ping'an had arrived in front of the statue of the general at some unknown time. He tiptoed, jumped up, and slapped the statue's forehead heavily with his palm.
The golden light is brilliant!
A golden treasure that was slightly taller and larger appeared out of thin air around the clay statue of the general.Tower, thunder and lightning flash like a swimming dragon.
The statue seems to be "enshrined" in this pagoda.
But the exact taste can be seen from the shattering of the huge body of the clay statue. No matter how it struggles, how it swings the mace and hits hard, the pagoda demon-suppressing talisman will always keep it. Suppress it firmly.
After Chen Pingan offered up the first golden pagoda demon-suppressing talisman, his feet were a little bit on the chest of the general statue, and he took advantage of the situation to bounce out, and it flashed away again. Even faster, he came to the statue of the civil official who was running towards the girl, and with another click, he just put the golden talisman on the fine iron official seal.
The tall statue of the god was like a mountain pressing against the top. His knees were bent, and debris kept falling from his knees, and he almost staggered and fell.
Chen Ping'an's feet still did not touch the ground. After holding out the golden talisman, he continued to climb up and stepped on the top of the statue. They faced off against the woman in white who was already standing on top of the stone monument. < /p>
The locust wood sword popped out of the wooden box and was held by Chen Pingan with one hand.
Go away with one sword.
It’s all done in one go, a bit chic.
