Chapter 93 The Rune Stolen
A god who steals other people's incense?

Lu Chen never expected that in this world, there are gods who are even more downcast than himself?

And at this moment, the old man was extremely vigilant, as if he felt being watched.

He raised his head suddenly, with nervous eyes, and looked around, but he couldn't see Lu Chen's disguise, but he felt uneasy in his heart, immediately frowned, and muttered in a low voice: "No wonder, little old man! It's also a last resort..."

After speaking, he opened his mouth and took another breath, then twisted his body and flew towards the distance.

He wanted to escape!
"Stealing and robbing incense, you are so brave!"

After confirming that the other party's cultivation base was not too high, Lu Chen no longer hid his figure, the divine light shone, and golden lights swayed out, and the sword aura was like weaving, directly blocking the other party's escape direction.

The old man didn't expect to be caught upright, a look of surprise and fear flashed across his face, he quickly turned his direction, and actually got into the ground.

"Earth escape?"

Lu Chen frowned slightly, and immediately stepped on his feet, surging with divine power.

The solid ground immediately vibrated and rippled like ripples, the soil layer exploded, and the gravel splashed, and the figure of the old man was blown out. He stretched out his hand, and the golden palm prints grabbed it downwards, wrapping the figure of the old man.

But when he raised his palm to look, there was only a black stone in his palm.

This is the substitute method.

'This old man, although his magic power is not high, but he knows a lot of small spells and can use them flexibly. No wonder I couldn't track him last time.However, I have locked his breath, it is impossible for him to escape. '

While thinking, Lu Chen took a step forward.

Straight across a distance of tens of feet, quickly chasing after the breath of the god, more than ten li to the west, came to a deserted stone wall, I saw that the place was overgrown with grass, and on the moss-covered stone wall, someone had chiseled out A small cave, in which the outline of the statue can be vaguely seen, it is a common earth temple among the people.

The land, also known as the kitchen god, is a low-level god in folklore, also known as the god of the society. The 36 households of the Secretary of the Han Dynasty are a society, and the god of the land is the god who presides over the place of this society.

Although the status is not high, the power is generally not strong, but it can be regarded as the basic priesthood of seriousness.

Depending on the place, people have different beliefs in the land. In some places, the land has good skills and can protect one party. Faith, incense flourishes.

And this one in front of him is obviously not very good at business, so no one believes in him, and the incense is gradually cut off.

Only then was he forced to come out to steal incense.

"Bold evildoer, who stole the incense from this seat, and now dares to steal the temple of the earth, and still not show up quickly? If you dare to hide again, don't blame this seat for being rude, and directly bombard you and the god statue in this temple! "

Lu Chen pretended to be fierce and said in a cold voice.

Hearing this, the old man saw that he couldn't escape, so he hurriedly begged for mercy, "God forgive me, God spare me! The little old man is not a demon, but the land of Yunlong County at the foot of the mountain. He had no choice but to steal incense. , just to survive, no offense intended!"

talking room.

A wisp of smoke drifted out, and the figure of the old man emerged, knelt on the ground tremblingly and said.

Lu Chen looked at him pitifully, and he was just trying to scare him, but he didn't really hit him hard, but just glanced sharply at him.

"Since you are a part of the land, and you don't perform priestly duties in your own divine domain, why do you come here and steal incense and offer it? Since you are a god, you should know that this is a taboo!"

"Yes, yes, the little old man also knows that it is wrong to do so, but he is indeed forced to do so!"

"Stop quibbling. You say you belong to the land of Yunlong County, so there should be a talisman token, take it out and have a look!"

Lu Chen said.

This was the first time he met a god in the world. Thinking of the jade talisman that seemed to respond when he came into contact with Styx Yasha before, he couldn't help but have an idea, and wanted to verify his previous guess.

So asking the land to take out the talisman can also verify the identity of the other party by the way.

Unexpectedly, when the land heard the words, it had a bitter expression on its face, and said in a shy voice: "God's lesson, if the little old man still had the talisman in his hand, he would definitely not be in such a situation. My talisman... was stolen ..."

He said, bowing his head.

The theft of the talisman is a felony. If the Heavenly Court was still there in the past, it would have been deprived of the priesthood.

If he hadn't been captured by Lu Chen at this time, he would not have dared to admit it.

"Amulet, stolen?"

When Lu Chen heard this, he couldn't help being a little surprised.

As far as he knows, the talisman is the identity token of the gods. Once the refining is recognized by it, it can be connected with its own divine power, and its life is one. Under normal circumstances, there is no possibility of theft, unless it is obliterated and the talisman is restored. Only by becoming unowned can the position of gods be changed.

But the old man in front of him was obviously still alive, but someone stole and deprived him of his own talisman seal. This is not common.

"Nonsense, the talisman is related to the life of the gods, it is bestowed by the heaven and the earth, who can steal it? I think you are clearly pretending to be the land, and you want to deceive me?"

"Everything that the little old man said is true, don't dare to deceive God!"

The old man was in a hurry, he didn't dare to hesitate immediately, and told the matter exactly.

This old man, whose real name is Zhou Changfang, was an elder in Yunyang Village. During his lifetime, he had great prestige and good deeds. After his death, he was valued by the local city god and granted the title of Yunyang Land for 300 years.

Because Zhou Changfang was enshrined as a god by a ghost, he didn't know how to practice, so he relied entirely on the incense of the villagers' sacrifices.

At the beginning, he was considered diligent, protecting the living beings around the village, very effective, and the incense was not bad.

A few years ago, a wandering Taoist priest came to the village. He was quite cunning. Zhou Changfang warmly received him, but unexpectedly, the Taoist priest practiced evil methods, restrained him with a kind of incense, and stole the talisman Yuhan himself lost his life because of this, and it was only because of the divinity left in the statue that he recovered slowly and saved his life.

But he could only linger on, not daring to return to Yunyang, so he could only hide in this deserted temple and make a living by stealing incense.

"Everything said by the little old man is true, and there is absolutely no falsehood. Please learn from the gods! The monster stole my talisman and claimed to be the land of Yunyang. It is also intentional and powerless. Today I stole the incense from the God, and I know that I have committed a serious crime. The little old man is willing to bear all the punishments, but I hope the God can do justice for me..."

As Zhou Changfang said, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Looking at his words and deeds, Lu Chen didn't seem to want to be fake, but he didn't believe it.

So he frowned and asked, "It's not a trivial matter for a cultivator to kill a god and steal a talisman. Why don't you report this to the City God or the higher-level gods?"

"The gods don't know something. A hundred years ago, in the land of the Taihang Mansion, there was a war of gods due to the conflict of incense and fire. The local city god fell as a result, and the talismans were scattered and lost. There is still no owner. The little old man and many small places Like the gods, the heavens and the earth do not accept them now. Most of those powerful gods are entrenched in the big cities where incense is flourishing. How can they have the time to manage our poor villages? Even if I want to report, I don’t know who to ask for justice... ..."

Zhou Changfang smiled helplessly.

After listening to his words, Lu Chen realized that the gods in the world today are just like the underworld, because there is no heavenly court to check and balance, so they are chaotic and disorderly.

Among the gods and spirits, the affiliation is chaotic, and the change of clergy depends entirely on strength. The weak can eat the strong, and humans, monsters and devils, as long as they have strength, can kill gods to replace them. And among the gods, no one obeys the other, and their minds are placed on competing with each other for the incense of faith. In this regard, the war of gods broke out frequently.

It's just these things that mortals don't know.

And in those big cities, there are often powerful gods sitting in charge. In order to stabilize the incense, naturally they will not go too far, so the surface is calm.

But in these remote places in the mountains, you can already see the beginning of chaos.

'It seems that this world is more dangerous than I imagined. Without the check and balance of the heavens, the monsters and monsters will covet the talismans and gods, so as to obtain the fruit of longevity.The gods are divided into one side, each is respected, and they compete for incense and belief. I am lucky. The Taihang Mountain is vast and there are no other gods involved, so for the time being, I only need to deal with those demons and ghosts. Made it hard for me. '

Lu Chen secretly sighed in his heart.

Previously, Lin Xiaofan wanted to take advantage of the gift of the mountain god to build a temple for him in Taiyuan City, but fortunately Lu Chen calmly refused.

Otherwise, if you step in rashly, you may be involved in the battle between the gods in advance.

At that time, even if he hid in the Taihang Mountains, it was rare for him to be quiet.

"Expanding the realm of the gods and competing for the incense of faith is a necessary stage for my future growth and improvement, but for now, it is far from this step. I will first eliminate the demon kings in the Taihang Mountains and gain the faith of millions of creatures in the mountains. Surrender, truly become the master of Taihang Mountain, this will provide me with very powerful strength, and then I will not be afraid of other gods if I expand further.”

Lu Chen pondered in his mind, and had a clearer plan for the future development arrangement.

As for Zhou Changfang in front of him, since he met him, he couldn't ignore it.

"Yunyang Village and Qinghua Village are not far away, and they are also on the edge of the range covered by my god's domain. Since there are no great gods in this area who are willing to take care of it, why not take it under my command. After all, I will enter the master's world sooner or later. These villages Human beings can act as the seeds of my belief in the world and make some layouts in advance.In addition, if I can get other talismans, I can also take the opportunity to experiment with the efficacy of the jade talisman. '

thought here.

Lu Chen turned his head and glanced at Zhou Changfang, and shot a ray of divine light onto Zhou Changfang. This was to prevent him from running away or having bad intentions.

After all, he is still not 100% sure whether what this person said is true.

Zhou Changfang didn't dare to struggle that day, he let the divine light fall on his body, and found that he didn't cause any harm to himself, so he was relieved, and then he heard Lu Chen's majestic voice.

"Let's go, take me to Yunyang Village first, if what you said is true, I will make a decision on this matter."
