Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 787: Seeking Blessing, Asking to Conquer the Demon

In the incense warehouse in the backyard of Zhenjun Temple, Chen Han, who was busy, also frowned when he heard clearly what Yu Xinmei meant.

"You want to ask the Yinsi Ghosts about Zhou Youzhi?"

"Yes, sister, I know this may be a bit presumptuous, but the ghosts and gods in the underworld must have left files. Maybe we can also know where Zhou Youzhi was reincarnated!"

Chen Han shook his head helplessly.

"Xinmei, the reincarnation of living beings involves the natural way of heaven. Even the ghosts and gods in the underworld may know more and even have certain decision-making power, but they can only determine the wealth and blessings of the next life to a certain extent, and cannot clearly understand where they have gone. What’s more, the blessings in the next life are also dependent on this life.”

Yu Xinmei obviously would not give up because of such a few words.

"But I won't give up if I don't ask. Sister, you are the temple blessing of Zhenjunshou Temple. I know that as long as you open your mouth, the ghosts and gods of Dengzhou Yinsi will give you some face, sister."

Yu Xinmei begged Chen Han, but Su Guyan, who had already put down the cloth, stood aside and couldn't say anything.

Chen Han looked at Su Guyan and Yu Xinmei calmly.

"Then go to the City God's Temple. I am a good believer who goes to offer incense. I am a sentient being between heaven and earth. I am not going to live in trouble, but I am praying devoutly to the City God!"

As soon as the incense left the wooden box, a very special light fragrance appeared, which was different from ordinary sandalwood.

"Do you think that the laws of the underworld are just for show? The ghosts and gods of the underworld are in charge of some of the responsibilities of reincarnation in heaven, how can they easily show it to others?"

Su Guyan looked back at the door, then looked at Yu Xinmei thoughtfully, and the latter also raised her head. When she looked at Chen Han, his face was always calm, but in fact, she was thinking about what the two said about each other. division.

Su Hongxuan's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke.

Su Hongxuan asked from the side, while Su Guyan shook her head.

"What if you are kicked out without entering the temple?"

Chen Han shook his head.

"I'm sorry, sister, I was careless."

"Then why don't you just go to the City God directly without being a Demon-Subduing Palace? Grandma Chen just pretends that she doesn't know. Uh, just pretend that I didn't say anything."

After a period of silence, Su Guyan spoke.

"Actually, what Hongxuan said makes sense?"

"It's just that we are demons after all. Going to the underworld rashly may be considered disrespectful by ghosts and gods."

"That shouldn't happen."

Chen Han looked at his sister who was silent for the time being, while Su Guyan frowned and thought. Outside the door, Su Hongxuan had returned. She might have heard part of the content, so she couldn't help but say something at this moment.

Yu Xinmei opened her mouth and said helplessly for a long time.

"Take it, take this incense to the City God's Temple, and be sure to pray sincerely. The City God will notice it, but he may not come out to see you."

"It's true that I am the real emperor. The ghosts and gods in Dengzhou may also know me, but because of this, it is even more impossible for me to come forward. I look after the dojo for the emperor, and using this status to interfere in the underworld is not only disrespectful to the underworld, but also Disrespect to the emperor!"

Chen Han showed a smile calmly on his face, sighed, turned around, opened a wooden box, and pulled out three sticks of incense from the corner inside.

Yu Xinmei took the words at this moment.

As she spoke, Su Guyan looked at Chen Han's reaction, then looked at Yu Xinmei aside, who was obviously also moved.

Yu Xingmei carefully took the three sticks of incense and couldn't help but get closer and smell it. She knew that this thing must be very precious, and her face showed joy.

"Thank you sister!"

Chen Han shook his head and smiled.

"It seems that you have read into the book during this period, and you have put away a lot of your demonic nature. If you don't go directly to the underworld, okay, let's go!"

"Ok!"

Yu Xingmei carefully put away the three sticks of incense and then exited the incense warehouse. In her excitement, she didn't care about anything else and ran quickly outside the temple.

Su Guyan saluted Chen Han and left quickly.

Chen Han looked outside the door, only Su Hongxuan was still standing there. The latter was slightly stunned by Chen Han and felt slightly panicked.

"Uh, well, Granny Chen, I'll go take a look too."

After saying this, Su Hongxuan quickly ran away. Without her sister and Xingmei, she would never dare to face Granny Chen alone.

Outside the Zhenjun Temple, Su Hongxuan quickly caught up with Yu Xingmei and Su Guyan, and couldn't help but ask why they left first. She also learned about the fortune teller from their answers.

While they were talking, the three of them had already re-entered Dengzhou City, and soon arrived at the block where the Chenghuang Temple was located. They all couldn't help but stand outside the temple area. During the Dragon Boat Festival, the outside of the temple was also very busy with people coming and going.

"Xinmei, worship the gods like a mortal, I'm afraid they won't show up. If there is no response, how about we go directly to the gate of hell?"

As soon as Su Hongxuan spoke, Su Guyan rolled her eyes.

"Don't make bad ideas. Breaking into the ghost gate without permission may lead to big misunderstandings."

Su Guyan's eyes flashed slightly and she looked at both sides of the street.

"If it really doesn't work, it's better to go find that fortune teller again. I'm afraid this person is not simple. Since he can go out and ask questions about the underworld, maybe there is another way. Maybe he was waiting for Xinmei on the street just now!"

"Huh? So mysterious?"

Su Hongxuan was stunned for a moment. Wasn’t what her sister said a bit too much?
"Okay, let's think about other things later. Sister Su, Hongxuan, you don't want to go in together, I'll go by myself!"

After saying this, Yu Xinmei took a deep breath and walked directly towards the City God Temple.

Apart from entering the Zhenjun Temple, this is the first time that Yu Xinmei has stepped into the Zhengshen temple since she started practicing. Even though the Taoist practice is no longer what it used to be, she still feels a little scared in her heart. The Su sisters hesitated, but still did not follow.

The most lively temple during the Dragon Boat Festival is definitely the Chu Temple, but on any festival, the Chenghuang Temple will never be less lively.

Trying to restrain her demonic aura, Yu Xinmei followed many pilgrims into the temple. The imagined obstruction by ghosts and gods did not happen, and she walked towards the depths of the temple with a little peace of mind.

Outside the Chenghuang Hall, Yu Xinmei stood here without stepping into the temple, but watched other pilgrims offering incense, bowing and praying one after another. There was an endless stream of people coming and going, and the statue of the god above was always sitting on the altar, alive and well. Not a single ripple.

"What is this girl doing standing here? If you want to burn incense and pray for blessings, just go in!"

A temple worker came over to speak, and Yu Xinmei said "yes", took another deep breath, and then carefully crossed the threshold of the City God's Hall.

There were still no ghosts or gods driving people away. Yu Xinmei breathed a sigh of relief and her mood gradually calmed down.

After standing quietly for a long time, Yu Xinmei borrowed a fire from the candlestick nearby and walked to the statue when the kneeling mat was free.

Yu Xinmei didn't understand the cumbersome incense etiquette, but after her heart was completely calm, she quietly inserted the sandalwood into the incense burner, then knelt in front of the statue and slowly closed her eyes.

Lord City God, the little girl Yu Xinmei has something to pray for.
Time passed slowly, and the smoke from the sandalwood in the incense burner went straight upward. Yu Xinmei did not leave after worshiping the gods like other pilgrims, but kept kneeling there.

Some of the pilgrims around were curious, some would whisper a few words, sometimes a little noisy, sometimes relatively quiet, but none of them would disturb Yu Xinmei. After all, she was a very human being, and she would not cause unnecessary anger because of this matter. shame.

Gradually, Yu Xinmei felt that the surroundings seemed to be getting quieter and quieter, and then there was no sound of footsteps coming and going.

At this moment, Yu Xinmei opened her eyes subconsciously, and suddenly found that the surroundings were dark.

But it wasn't absolutely dark, because the long light in front seemed to be on, but it couldn't completely illuminate the surroundings, and all the other pilgrims seemed to have disappeared.

Yu Xinmei seemed to realize something and immediately looked up, only to see the statue of the City God looking at her.

The statue's facial features became more and more active, so much so that its eyes moved, and a little bit of incense ash fell from its eyelids.

"I know you, you are the fish demon in the mountains. During the Chengxing period, there was a flood in Lingdong, and you both managed the flood together! It seems that your practice has also made great progress!"

Yu Xinmei looked surprised, she didn't expect Lord Cheng Huang to remember her.

"Exactly! I didn't expect the City God to remember me."

On the altar, the statue of the City God seemed to move slightly, and suddenly there was a burst of incense ash and smoke.

"Now your sister is not an ordinary demon cultivator. She has not pretended to be this identity. That's good! If I read your pious appeal again, I can answer you some questions. Since you want to ask the people in the underworld, just ask!"

The city god had a good impression of Xinmei, and the latter was also ecstatic at the moment. He did not get up and continued to kneel where he was and ask questions.

"Lord City God, I want to inquire about the whereabouts of Zhou Youzhi. He has done me a great favor, and I must repay it!"

"Zhou Youzhi"

As soon as he heard the name from Yu Xinmei's mouth, Dengzhou City God was slightly shocked. It would be fine if it was someone else, but this person.
After thinking for a moment, the Dengzhou City God answered.

"Zhou Youzhi is not in the underworld now. He was reincarnated more than 20 years ago!"

"Does the Lord City God know the circumstances of Zhou Youzhi's reincarnation? Why does it matter if he is reincarnated? How can I find him?"

The city god on the altar stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, and the incense ashes dripped down again.

"Although we are the gods of the underworld and control the road to the underworld, reincarnation is the power of heaven, and it is difficult for the underworld to interfere. It is not that I don't want to tell him, but I actually don't know. I can only tell you that although he has had twists and turns in his life, But the fortune is definitely not bad!”

"Lord Cheng Huang said he didn't know, but he didn't say there was no way to find him, right?"

Yu Xinmei raised her head and looked at the City God. The lifelike statue on the altar frowned slightly, and she kept thinking about things in her heart.

"You said he was very kind to you. What kind of kindness is that?"

Yu Xinmei hesitated slightly. It seemed that even Lord Cheng Huang didn't know about the elixir, but she chose to tell the whole story and explained clearly how she obtained the elixir.

Even Dengzhou City God couldn't help but look shocked after hearing this. This is truly a great kindness, great virtue and great cause and effect!

"I ask Lord Chenghuang to point out a clear way for this little girl to find her benefactor. If she doesn't repay this kindness, the knot in her heart will never go away, and her spiritual path will never be complete. How can she achieve enlightenment?"

This is definitely not an exaggeration!
The City God was silent for a long time, and some hope arose in Yu Xinmei's heart. She knew that if there was really no other way, the City God would directly refuse.

The incense ash fell like rain and dissipated before landing. The city god on the altar slowly stood up. When he stepped down the altar, there was a long man wearing a toga and an official hat next to Yu Xinmei. By.

"It seems that there is some cause and effect with you."

The City God stroked his beard and looked at the woman who had been kneeling over there. The latter looked sideways at him with a pleading look on her face.

"I beg the Lord City God to grant me your permission!"

Dengzhou City God thought again and again, and then raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Actually, it's not appropriate for you to ask me about this. If you really think about it, your sister may be able to help you more than me, but she doesn't know."

"What do you say, Lord Cheng Huang?"

The City God's smile did not change, he walked to Yu Xinmei's side and whispered.

"Picture of a hundred ghosts, long hair, looking for blessings, asking to subdue demons! Go."

After the words fell, the city god turned into a wisp of smoke and returned to the altar, becoming a statue. In Yu Xinmei's ears, the surroundings began to become noisy again.

With a snap, Yu Xinmei suddenly opened her eyes. She looked around in slight shock. She kept kneeling in front of the altar, as if everything just now was an illusion.

There were some pilgrims around looking at Yu Xinmei. After all, the girl had been kneeling here for a long time.

It's just that Yu Xinmei's face is already filled with joy at this moment. Zhou Youzhi's matter has become clearer. Lord City God's intention is very obvious. Fumo Palace should have a way to know his whereabouts!
