Chapter 282: Destroying the City God
Chapter 282: Destroying the City God
Lianshan City Center, inside the New City God Temple.
At this moment, the City God Temple is also bustling with people, coming to pray, fulfill their vows, and burn incense. Some children are clinging to the door panels from the outside and looking inside curiously.
At this time, a woman led her son into the temple, and after waiting for a while, it was her turn.
Without going through the temple's prayer hall, she took her little son and knelt before the statue of the City God, with a pious expression and her head bowed, silently praying for her son.
The boy was held down by his mother and could not move. He could only look around the temple in boredom.
"Really... Mother comes here to worship every once in a while, what's the point..."
He complained quietly, his eyes casually sweeping over the City God sitting above him and the civil and military judges on both sides.
"They are just stone and clay sculptures. What's there to worship? If they could..."
He was muttering in his heart, but the City God statue that had been sitting still all this time suddenly moved? Moved!!
The boy couldn't help but open his mouth in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes and continued looking, trying to prove that he was just dazzled.
however…
A faint white shadow flashed by the City God, and then a scent of sandalwood entered his nose.
The fragrance is not as pungent as when burning incense, but instead makes people feel refreshed and their mouths and noses are unobstructed!
"This!! Is it possible!"
The boy stammered and was unable to speak, but then he was even more shocked by the scene that followed! He saw a white shadow flash across the surface of the two statues beside the City God!
This is followed by two faint sandalwood scents, but they are also refreshing!
"City! City! The City God has appeared!"
The boy stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence, while the woman next to him looked serious and quickly covered her son's mouth to teach him a lesson.
"Children, don't talk nonsense. Be careful not to be disrespectful to the City God."
"I! I! I'm not talking nonsense! I saw the City God! He also took the two judges out with him! Just now!"
At this time, everyone heard the noise and gathered around, and the boy became more and more excited as more people paid attention to him.
He exaggerated and told the whole story, and immediately received a wave of congratulations and comments, saying things like "you are a blessed person" and "the Lord of the City God likes you"~
The news of the city god’s miracle spread quickly, and this led to more people coming to worship him. Of course, this is a story for later...
…………
In the South District, West District and North District of Lianshan City, subtle movements occurred at the same time in three ordinary mansions.
Rays of light shot up from those houses and then disappeared into the sky and flashed towards the east district, without attracting the attention of ordinary people.
But anyone with a slightly higher level of cultivation would be able to discover it.
A monk who was hiding in Lianshan City couldn't help but sighed when he saw this:
"Who is this fool causing trouble in Lianshan City? Don't you know that the whole city is under a ban~"
"If you dare to use magic power here, you are simply seeking death~"
He paused again, looking longingly at the direction where the escaping lights were going.
"Since he can use his magic power in Lianshan City, his own strength should be quite good. Should I go and join in the fun?"
"Hiss... forget it, saving lives is more important~ Saving lives is more important~"
…………
Qin Xiangling was sitting on the stone in a daze when she suddenly felt a strong wave of mana coming out, which immediately woke her up from her daze!
"Oh no! Sister Qiaoer!"
She stood up suddenly and looked up, and saw several rays of light in the sky rushing towards her at high speed! The target was right behind her!
Without hesitation, she ran at full speed!
"I shouldn't have let Sister Qiaoer go out alone to relax! If we get caught, we'll probably be expelled. If we can't explain ourselves well, I'm afraid the Immortal Sect will have to step in to protect us."
'Now I can only hope that Sister Qiao'er is just venting her emotions, and hope nothing happens!'
………………
The old city god rode a cloud and flew at high speed in the sky, accompanied by civil and military judges in brocade robes.
"Sir, there are just cultivators abusing their magic in the city. Just let the other three families take care of it. Why are we rushing there in such a hurry?"
"Yes, sir. The affairs of the underworld are under the jurisdiction of the underworld. They do not interfere in the grudges of the monks in the world of the living. Although we are in Lianshan City, we are only cooperating with those monks. It will not be too late for us to take action when they are undecided."
The civil judge and the military judge asked one after another, while the old city god looked at the dark clouds that had just dissipated over the east district with a serious expression.
"This time is different. This time it concerns the underworld, the entire Lianshan City, and even the three regions."
"My Lord, what have you discovered?"
The old city god stared at the East District. The clouds under his feet accelerated again, but he asked a question without any context.
"Do you still remember where we came from?"
"Uh……"
The civil and military judges were stunned, not knowing what their Lord City God was up to, but they still answered truthfully.
"I was originally a constable in a small town on the edge of the Lingxiang area. I arrested countless bandits throughout my life. After my death, I lived for over a hundred years. Fortunately, I was appreciated by the City God and was appointed as a ghost messenger. In addition, my descendants offered incense every year and set up a tablet to pass on my deeds, allowing me to enjoy the incense. Later, I practiced diligently step by step to reach my current position."
Wu Pan also spoke in agreement.
After hearing this, the old city god nodded slightly and asked:
"Then what is the area we originally governed?"
The civil and military judges were stunned again.
"It seems to be... Lingxiang Territory? I remember that the emperor suddenly ordered all the people in the vicinity to migrate to Lianshan City to fill the vacancies, and we also came to Lianshan City."
“And the restrictions and rules of Lianshan City were established from that time, and then it gradually evolved into a forbidden area for cultivators in the three regions.”
The old city god looked solemn:
"Why do you think we suddenly moved to Lianshan City?"
The civil and military judges answered without hesitation:
"It's because the Three Regions War destroyed the Lianshan City area. After the truce, the people moved away and we were naturally moved there as well."
"No~ Lianshan City is barren, and there is nothing worth fighting between monks. It's not worth it~"
"They were not fighting on their own, but...working together~"
The civil and military judges were all shocked. They really didn't know this, so they continued to ask.
"Cooperation? Why are they cooperating?"
At this moment they were almost reaching the East District, and one after another they saw several monks rushing over.
The old city god said with deep and dark eyes:
"The purpose of their cooperation is to destroy the previous City God~"
