All he said was prophecy

Because there are very few incenses in the Town God's Temple, and the City God has been protecting the small town, he lacks the strength to show up.

After what happened last time, Liang Quan planned to set up an altar to invite the gods, at least during the period of invitation, the continuous offerings could last longer.

However, the faith of the City God has not yet spread all over the country, and there are no fixed rules for the ceremony, so sincerity is enough.

When they arrived at Chenghuang Temple, the old man was still the only one cleaning the courtyard inside the temple. The inside and outside of the temple were very clean, except for the rustling of leaves in the courtyard.

There is still some vitality inside the Town God's Temple, which is completely different from the dead silence outside.This old man may be the only one who is sober besides Li Qinghe.

Liang Quan bowed in front of the old man before entering the hall, and said respectfully, "Because I have something to ask, I plan to invite the Lord of the City God in the Temple of the City God. I don't know if the old man would like it?"

The old man raised his eyelids leisurely, rolled his cloudy eyeballs twice, and nodded slightly.

Liang Quan saluted again before entering the hall.

This hurried ceremony was a bit rough, Liang Quan stood in front of the clay sculpture of the City God, and there was a low platform underneath for worship.He stood in front of the stage, holding the yellow talisman in his hand, and recited silently.

This is not the magic charm that Liang Quan used before, but a more solemn ceremony. With Liang Quan's clear enunciation, Gu Qingyuan and Li Qinghe, who were watching, felt like a bell ringing in their ears.

The sound is grand, like clearing the way.

The yellow paper ignited automatically without wind, and spontaneously ignited without fire, and smoke rose in the hall. Liang Quan let go, then lit three sticks of incense, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, then stood up and inserted the stove again.

"Disciple Liang Quan, passing through this city, encountering disasters, sincerely ask the City God to judge justice and obtain peace."

The sun was dim, and there was a slight wind in the hall. The clay sculpture of the City God lit up, and it became animated in the blink of an eye, turning into a human form.That was the local city god that Liang Quan had seen before, but it was more majestic than then.

"It's you." Chenghuang nodded lightly.Since he promised to appear, he knew what Liang Quan wanted.

Liang Quan said softly, "Pin Dao knows the cause and effect, but there is only one question, please let the City God know."

"can."

"Did City God originally be Lu Shu when he was in the world?" Although Liang Quan's words were doubts, he already had an answer in his heart.

Lushu is a strange beast, its shape is like a horse with a white head, its writing is like a tiger with a red tail, and its voice is like a ballad.Although it is called Lu Shu, it has nothing to do with deer.

The fur of deer and Shu can make living beings have more children and more blessings, but immortality is false.People in the world are ignorant and believe that records are false and seeing is believing, which caused this tragedy.

Chenghuang nodded, "You are very smart."

Liang Quan sighed, which could explain many problems.

"In the first year of Jiande, Lu Shu appeared in this small town and was rescued by Wang Shun. It is rumored that those who eat immortals can live forever and live in good health. Therefore, Lu Shu was eaten by the people, and Wang Shun came to save Lu Shu. He died tragically. Then I don’t know whether these people worshiped Wang Shun as the city god out of guilt or awe, but Wang Shun didn’t want to or didn’t show up. In the end, you took over this post and recognized Wang Shun’s name.” Liang Quan said slowly, his tone Slightly cool.

Cheng Huang didn't speak, and only nodded after Liang Quan finished speaking.

This is true.

Gu Qingyuan, who was listening, was terrified, and moved away from Li Qinghe in disgust, rubbing his arms. Li Qinghe was suddenly disgusted, with a look of helplessness, and he felt very uncomfortable hearing it!

"The one who has been waiting three miles outside the city should be Wang Shun." Liang Quan paused for a moment, then said again.

Day after day, year after year, the man in the cloak waited there for an unknown amount of time, and how long he held resentment.But with the city god inside, he will not be allowed to enter for a day.But he didn't know that the small town that guarded him and hated him deeply was precisely Lushu for whom he had always wanted to avenge.

The City God was stunned for a moment, with an epiphany on his face, and within a moment, the sky outside the hall suddenly darkened, and there was a sudden wind and clouds, and the howling of ghosts and wolves gradually approached the Temple of the City God.All the living dead in the small city stood still, staring blankly at a black wind sweeping from the city gate and falling straight in front of the Town God's Temple.

The canopy that originally covered the face of the city god disappeared quietly, revealing a clear and handsome figure. The god of the well-groomed statue quietly watched the cloaked man stepping into the hall step by step. The ethereal and ethereal feeling gradually dissipated. He said softly Said, "Ah Shun."

The man in the cloak suddenly froze in place, looking up at the position of the clay statue, the trembling visible to the naked eye made the man in the cloak speechless, after a long time, the hood fell off, and a skull flashed with two dots The strange green light stared at Chenghuang, gnawed his bare teeth twice, and then uttered two words with a clicking sound, "Bald deer."

Chenghuang couldn't help chuckling, he used to have a bald spot on his deer body, which was the aftermath of the catastrophe, and Ah Shun kept talking about it, and he got used to it over time.

Liang Quan came out with Gu Qingyuan and Li Qinghe in his arms, closed the hall door, nodded to the old man outside the door, and then stood guard outside the hall door.

Li Qinghe swallowed, but still couldn't help tugging on Liang Quan's sleeve, "Gu Daochang, could it be that my father and the others..." He couldn't continue.

Liang Quan's eyes were burning, with a little quiet light, "The city god of this place was originally Lu Shu. Although he was enlightened, he has not yet lived with the sky. How can he live forever?" As for whether they were blinded by the records this time, Still being overwhelmed by Wang Shun, there was no need for Li Qinghe to think deeply.

Li Qinghe's face was pale, and he was on the verge of falling. He couldn't accept that someone would devour the gods alive for such a thing.However, the reincarnation was less than a hundred years old, Wang Shun used this temptation, but he went on and on again. His appearance was so ferocious that he couldn't express it in words.

Taoist Gu knew better than Li Qinghe, he looked nervously at the silent hall, "Senior Brother Liang, that skeleton..."

Skeletons have souls, which are more difficult than ordinary monster creatures. They must have endless hatred and coincidence to reach this point.After Wang Shun died with hatred, he came back to take revenge after a hundred years, and he didn't know if he could stop.

Although Liang Quan was holding the yellow talisman in his hand, his expression was not heavy, "It will be fine."

According to the moral golden light shining in the hall when Liang Quan first met the City God, Lu Shu should have ascended to heaven after death, and he stayed here because of Wang Shun.

It's just that Lu Shu resolved his resentment for Wang Shun, but Wang Shun degenerated into a demon because of Lu Shu, almost making a big mistake.

I don't know who is the cause and who is the effect.

Gu Qingyuan was a little puzzled, and was waiting to ask again, when he suddenly saw a bright light in the hall, breaking through the gloomy sky, and then countless fragments of light fluttered down from the clouds.There was a pattering sound, and it actually started to rain lightly. The pattering rain washed over the entire small town, and the eaves, treetops, street corners, people... were all covered under the rain.

This light rain is very beautiful.

In the light rain, the quiet town returned to the noisy human voice.

Liang Quan was a little lost in thought as he heard the confused and sober voices gradually getting louder across the wall.The rain hit the treetops, and the branches and leaves of the ancient trees in the courtyard became more verdant and rustling.

"Liang Quan."

A voice appeared in Liang Quan's heart, the voice was clear and cold, it was Cheng Huang.

"The sins of this place arose because of this mansion, and they will disappear from this mansion. I accept your cause and effect, and this mansion is ashamed. This is a gift for your self-defense." Liang Quan suddenly saw something in his hand, and he knew it as soon as he took it. what is it.

The sky is as blue as water, and after the rain stops, it is a clean and sunny day.

……

Outside the Sanli Pavilion, Li Qinghe looked at Liang Quan and Gu Qingyuan reluctantly, "Daoist Liang, Daoist Gu, are you leaving now?"

Taoist Gu stared at Li Qinghe covetously, and said fiercely, "You are not allowed to follow us."

Li Qinghe smiled wryly, even though Li's father and others caused this disaster because of their own greed, after all, he raised Li Qinghe and got along day and night all these years, so Li Qinghe couldn't leave them behind.

Although Li Qinghe's elders belong to Taoism, everyone has his own ambitions, and Liang Quan will not force him.He left some yellow talismans for Li Qinghe to protect him, and taught him some simple talisman making methods before leaving.

After seeing off Liang Quan and his party, Li Qinghe returned to the small town. When he passed the Town God's Temple, he paused and turned to enter the temple, where he burned incense and knelt down devoutly.He secretly swears in his heart that he will make the incense of the Town God's Temple even stronger. The people don't know the cause and effect, but they can't just take and don't give, just enjoy.

When he stood up, he suddenly found a mural suddenly appeared on the left side of the clay sculpture of the City God. The characters on the mural were fierce and evil, but the painting skills were similar to graffiti, and the faces could not be seen clearly.

Li Qinghe realized in his heart that this is the judge.

Li Qinghe stood in the hall for a long time, and when he came out, he planned to find the statue of the old man who donated money. There were some vague words in his ears, which drifted away with the wind, but he couldn't hear them clearly.

"Bald Deer, your drawing skills are still so bad, you're so ugly." His cultivation base was ruined, and his words were still so weak.

"...You can do it yourself." Uglier than his painting skills.

On the official road outside the city, the figures of one tall and one short were getting further and further away.

"Brother, what will happen to the people here?"

"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. If you have too much greed, you will always have to pay back."

Whether it is a hundred years ago or a hundred years later.

……

Liang Quan stopped after sending Gu Qingyuan to the gate of Chang'an City.Gu Qingyuan was clever, and grabbed Liang Quan's cuff, "Why don't senior brothers go in?"

When Liang Quan traveled, he didn't carry many things with him, and he could take care of it with a single burden. If he left, he didn't need to go back to the Three-Yuan Viewpoint.

"I plan to walk around and see the scenery elsewhere." Liang Quan pointed to the gate of the city, dispelling Gu Qingyuan's idea of ​​sneaking away, "Your parents will come to see you in half a month, don't be naughty."

Gu Qingyuan was in poor health when he was young, and was given to Guannei by his parents to support him.Because of the distance, he only came to visit the little Taoist priest every other year. Hearing what Liang Quan said, Gu Qingyuan immediately became depressed.I don't know how Brother Liang calculated it.

Before leaving, Liang Quan taught little Taoist Gu a good lesson, and emptied half of the yellow talismans for him to practice.He has always been generous to those he really likes, Gu Qingyuan is like a cute and lively brother.

After sending the little Taoist priest away, Liang Quan left Chang'an and walked in the same direction as when he came and went.Lantian Mountain is very close to Zhongnan Mountain. If it wasn't for sending Gu Qingyuan back, Liang Quan probably would have gone directly to Zhongnan Mountain via Lantian Mountain after finishing the matter.

One afternoon after half a month, Liang Quan climbed the mountain road with branches. On the left side were rugged rocks, and on the right side were cliffs and cliffs.Ordinary people look down, their knees are weak, let alone keep going up.

Fortunately, after this section, the mountain road behind has opened up, and the field of vision is no longer limited.

Liang Quan found a flat place and was about to rest, when he raised his head, a squirrel was squatting on a branch with its big tail in its arms, and its big eyes were looking at the Taoist priest, smart and well-behaved.

With a whoosh in front of his eyes, Liang Quan raised his hand to catch the pine cone dropped by the squirrel. He weighed it twice, and the squirrel suddenly said, "Don't go any further, that place has already been occupied by those old bald donkeys from Jinguang Temple." It was taken."

A petite and cute squirrel suddenly spoke in an old and vicissitudes of life. Even Liang Quan had to support the mountain wall to calm himself down.
