The streets outside the Chenghuang Temple were silent. The empty square reflected the bright but not warm sunshine of autumn, and the prosperity of the past was gone.
The Tiqi brought by Shi Chibao have already cleaned up the surrounding area. The Tiqi wearing official uniforms and black gauze on their heads each hold the straight sword in their hands, their eyes are cold and solemn.
Su Che stood at the door of the City God's Temple, straightened his clothes slightly, and walked into the City God's Temple.
The general layout of this place is almost the same as the one in Shanyin County.
The only difference is the faint trace of mana that can be felt here.
The City God of Shanyin County was killed by the old monster of Xuanshan a long time ago. Although the temple exists, it is nothing more than an empty shell without an owner.
The City God of Tian'an County was still in office. As soon as he entered the City God's Temple, Su Che felt the rejection of him by this place.
Whether it is the soul or the spiritual sense, it is like being stuck in a quagmire, and nothing is happy.
It is indeed majestic and majestic.
Su Che understood that this was not because the city god was targeting him intentionally, but in fact, the practice of Shinto was so exclusive.
In this City God's Temple, it is like the City God's unique "divine kingdom", or "boundary". Any force that forcibly enters this place will trigger a counterattack.
The last time he passed by the City God's Temple, Su Che didn't come in to take a look in person. After walking in, he discovered that there was a huge peach tree in the City God's Temple that only three or four people could embrace. It is also lush and green in this autumn day.
Under the peach tree, stood a man in official uniform. He looked to be in his forties, holding a wat tablet in his hand, as if he was going to court.
"Su Lixing."
This man's eyes were full of golden light, and his whole body was filled with an aura of calmness and self-power.
“Have we met before?”
“We have barely met. I went to kill a few corpse demons that day, and I once saw the executioner on the way.”
It was indeed him.
"It's because Su's eyesight is not good and he didn't see Zun Shen."
"Su Li Xing's spiritual sense is keen, which is considered to be powerful among the sixth grade."

The Tianan County City God had a smile on his face.
"When people in Xuanmen practice to the fourth level, they can not only control the wind with their own emptiness, and go straight into the void outside the Tiangang, but they can also form a unique legal domain according to the laws they master, and replace it with their own laws. The so-called struggle between heaven and earth lies in this."
The city god continued: "At the beginning of my introduction to Shinto, I relied on the inherent laws of heaven and earth to move around. Tianan County City God, this Tianan County is my legal domain, and I am this world. It is normal for Su Lixing not to notice me."
"Well, I am this world. "Su Che sincerely praised: "The city god is so kind."
"Tian'an County connects Jiankang and Cizhou, and there are not many outstanding people who can compare with Su Lixing. ”
Su Che looked at the city god in front of him. He was elegant in conversation and majestic. If Shi Chibao hadn't explained that this man was deeply possessed, Su Che would never have believed that this man was possessed.
"This is not a place for conversation. Can you please ask Su Lixing to move?"
As he said that, the City God pointed to the peach tree behind him.
His magic power activated, and bursts of light emitted in front of the peach tree, and a portal loomed.
"That would be abrupt."
Su Che stepped forward and walked straight into the light.
Under the bursts of neon light, there is a magnificent mansion. There are two ferocious stone lions at the door. What they are playing with are not hydrangeas, but lifelike evil ghosts.
On the mansion, there is a plaque with the four words "Tian'an Fangbo" hanging on it.
This is the "god kingdom" of the county town god. Of course, with this cultivation level, he cannot support the so-called kingdom of god. In other words, it is more accurate to use the word "shrine" to describe it.
This place is the area controlled by the Tianan County City God.
Between reality and fantasy.
Su Che’s first impression when he stepped here was that it was quite similar to the Divine Forbidden City in Qingdi Treasure Garden.
But there is one difference. As for what that difference is, I can’t figure it out for a while.
"See Uncle Fang."
As soon as they entered the mansion, six ghosts lined up and came forward to salute.
"Su Lixing, these are the six ghost envoys under my command."
Tian'an City God smiled slightly.
"My magic power is low, it's ridiculous."
Su Che raised his hand and saluted these people.
He once heard that the Capital God, the Jiankang City God, had nearly a hundred ghost ministers under his command, almost like a living ghost king.
It can be seen that this subordinate is somewhat related to the level of cultivation of the god.
"The city god is surrounded by all the people, and you cannot judge him based on his cultivation level."
"I heard that Su Lixing was a bad boy in the past, but today he looks like a hero." Tian'an City God looked at Su Che: "It's so courageous to deal with the punishment."
Everything was said without saying anything.
"Why did the City God say this?"
"I am afraid that the fact that I have become a demon has been known to everyone. Even so, Li Xing dared to enter my shrine, which shows his courage. Extraordinary courage."
He seemed to agree with Su Che: "Of course, without means, these are just recklessness, but I believe in the methods of justice."
"Oh?"
"A sixth-grade master who can kill hungry ghosts is by no means an ordinary person."
He also knew that he was in front of Tongde Tower that day. thing.
It is rumored that the righteous gods have the ability to listen to the heavens and see the earth within their own territory. They are indeed unpredictable.
"Don't worry, Li Xing. Although I am possessed by a demon, I am also the righteous god of the country. It is a pleasure for Li Xing to intercept and kill those ugly and evil things." Tian'an County City God smiled boldly: "It's time to give up and prepare. So thinWhen it comes to wine, it's better to meet by chance than to invite. "
"Please. "
In the main hall of the temple, there is indeed a banquet, all kinds of food and delicacies are available.
"Practitioners pay attention to eating and breathing for longevity, and these are all my own The taste of the cultivated spiritual seed is slightly different from that of the human world. "
City God Dama Jindao sat down, Su Che was not polite to him, and sat on the table.
"Su Mou here ventures to ask, this table I'm afraid the banquet was not set out for Su, right? ”
This city god has the ability to listen to the heavens and the earth. I am afraid he would not have expected that he would come to the door. This table of wine seems to be a bit deprived of food.
"People say Mr. Su is a dandy in Jiankang. If all dandies in Jiankang are like this, then maybe it will be just around the corner for me, Daliang, to become a world leader. Yes, this table of wine was set by a certain person for himself. "
The city god poured himself a drink and looked at Su Che with his eyes like lightning.
"Mr. Su, do you know when I became the local city god? ”
“I really don’t know this. "
Of course Su Che knows about this person's background, but now he feels there is no need to discuss it.
Because this person does have a special status.
"Back then The previous dynasty was unruly, and Emperor Taizu of the Liang Dynasty sent his clan to raise troops from far away. I joined the army and fought dozens of battles, large and small. "
This man is a true loyal minister who died in the war. When Daliang captured Cizhou, this city god was one of the vanguards.
"I was a brave and unsociable man back then. In order to plot against a traitor, he led three thousand troops eastward to Cizhou and was surrounded by enemy troops. His death cannot be said to be heroic, but he was dedicated to the country. "
Su Che has seen relevant records. He was hated by the coach because of factional issues and deliberately ordered him to die. He was trapped in a tight siege outside Tian'an County, but he was eventually ordered to break out and let the remaining troops break out. Return to the camp.
After his death, his body was collected. Not counting the wounds, the arrows he picked up weighed three kilograms.
The words "dedication to the country" are not enough to describe this person. Heroic.
"In gratitude for my merits, Emperor Taizu made me the County God after the founding of the country. I thought that I had done my best in office. In the past few hundred years since the founding of the country, I dare not say that I have been prosperous. Sleeping all night, but working tirelessly. ”
The City God took another sip of the wine in the cup.
This Tianan City God is indeed as he said, not even talking about the red seedlings. He has been in Tiqi for hundreds of years. There is indeed nothing bad in his files.
“Alas, sometimes I still feel like I can still hear the sound of drums and horns in my ears before I wake up from a long dream. The city god's words were quite generous: "Is Su Lixing curious about why I am possessed by a demon?" "
"I think the word "bewitched" is not appropriate," Su Che looked at the god in front of him: "When it comes to the city god, perhaps the word "seeking demons" is more appropriate. ”
