And said you're not a fairy

Chapter 178 Even if the king dies, he will not let me go!
"But Taoist Master, we are ghosts and gods. It may be inconvenient for you to follow us like this."

The God of Night Tour, holding a wooden sign that reads "Night Tour", has a confused look on his face.

They are all ghosts and ghosts, unlike Chen Yuan who is a living person with a physical body, so Chen Yuan may not be able to follow them.

"It's easy, just wait a moment."

Chen Yuan smiled.

As he spoke, he turned back to the room on the third floor and entered the door, "But Taoist Master, we are ghosts and gods. It may be inconvenient for you to follow us like this."

The God of Night Tour, holding a wooden sign that reads "Night Tour", has a confused look on his face.

They are all ghosts and ghosts, unlike Chen Yuan who is a living person with a physical body, so Chen Yuan may not be able to follow them.

"It's easy, just wait a moment."

Chen Yuan smiled.

As he spoke, he turned back to his room on the third floor and closed the door after entering.

Just when the ghosts and gods in the yard were looking at Chen Yuan's movements, they were confused.

Then they saw that Chen Yuan's whole body was faintly shrouded in golden light, passing through the door like a dazzling sun and walking into the yard again.

"Fairy!"

The Night Travel God, the Day Travel God, and General Shackles looked at Chen Yuan Yuan Shen who walked back to the courtyard from the third floor. They were stunned for a moment and exclaimed one after another.

They could naturally tell that the person who had just gone upstairs and then came down was the Yuanshen cultivated by experts above the realm of cultivating the spirit, but this Yuanshen was clearly a sight that could only be seen by the immortal Yuanshen.

Looking at the Taoist robe that Chen Yuan was wearing just now, they thought that Chen Yuan was the disciple of the immortal in the human world, but now it seems that this is not the case.

It is very possible that this Taoist priest is an immortal himself.

"Okay, let's go!"

Chen Yuan walked up to Day Travel God and Night Travel God.

After just returning to the room physically, the person who came down again was naturally Chen Yuan Yuanshen. However, Chen Yuan had some uncertain guesses about this Jianghuai City God, so he used the "Wandering Immortal Pillow" to enhance his Yuanshen. Temporarily became the immortal soul.

Although using the "Wandering Immortal Pillow" to turn one's soul into an immortal soul does not have much real substantive effect, it is enough to bluff the gods.

"We are so blind that we don't know that it's an immortal in front of us. Please invite the immortal."

Day and night, the wandering god lowered his head and looked frightened.

If just now they only respected Chen Yuan and treated him with caution, their current attitude towards Chen Yuan can be described as respectful, for fear of offending this "immortal".

"Ok!"

Nodding his head, Chen Yuan took the lead in walking through the wall and walking towards the street in the dark with the consent of the day and night wandering gods.

After Chen Yuan left, Day and Night Traveling Gods, General Shackles, and hundreds of Yin soldiers all followed Chen Yuan and left one after another.

For a time, the small courtyard of Daojing Pavilion, which had been busy all night, finally became quiet.

"Suchu is really not a worry-free person. As soon as he came to Qingyang Temple, this place was originally a place of pure cultivation that was hidden from the world, but it suddenly became unclean."

After Chen Yuan, Day and Night Traveling God, General Shackles, and a group of Yin soldiers left, he sat at the table on the second floor of the Taoist Scripture Pavilion, holding a Taoist Scripture in his hand. He withdrew his eyes from the yard and focused on it again. Li Shaojun, who held the Taoist Scripture in his hand, sighed.

No one except Chen Yuan knew that everything that happened in Qingyang Temple tonight was witnessed by a bystander on the second floor of Daojing Pavilion.

……

When Chen Yuan followed the God of Day and Night and General Shackles, he came to the Jianghuai City God Temple.

To Chen Yuan's expectation, the City God's Temple in Jianghuai City was even more magnificent than the City God's Temple in Lujiang City God Jia Shedao.

When Chen Yuan was in Jianghuai City, he had not heard of many people believing in the City God, and he had rarely heard of the City God appearing.

Chen Yuan thought that there was little belief in the City God of Jianghuai City, and the City God's Temple should be very small and shabby.

But this was not the case. The reality was exactly the opposite of what he imagined.

Even in front of the Chenghuang Temple, there is a plaque with the words "Jianghuai Chenghuang Temple" hanging on it, and the frame is gilded.

Seeing Chen Yuan stop in front of the City God's Temple, he looked at the City God's Temple in front of him.

The Night God among the Day and Night Gods felt a little uneasy in his heart and said behind Chen Yuan:
"Chief Immortal, don't stand at the door. Please follow us in! When the adults know that the Immortal has arrived, they will be extremely happy and will host a banquet in honor of the Immortal."

"You lead the way."

Chen Yuan said.

"As it should be."

After Night Travel God agreed, Day Night Travel God took the lead and walked forward.

After entering the City God's Temple, I saw the day and night wandering gods saying something to General Shaosuo, and General Shaoshao left with hundreds of Yin soldiers, plus the ghosts captured from Qingyang Temple.

"Chief Immortal, Second General Shackles will first deal with the ghosts caught tonight. The two of us will take the Immortal Chief to see Lord Cheng Huang."

After doing all this, Yeyoushen said to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan followed the God of Day and Night and shuttled back and forth in the City God's Temple.

I saw that this temple is full of pavilions, pavilions, quiet waterside pavilions. It doesn't look like a temple, but more like a mansion of a prince and aristocrat.

After walking for a while, Chen Yuan felt that he had walked at least two Qingyang Temples, but he had not yet seen the main hall of the City God Temple.

Chen Yuan then asked the day and night wandering god who was walking in front: "I wonder if there are many people who come to worship in this Chenghuang Temple?"

Hearing Chen Yuan ask this question, the God of Day and Night suddenly became interested. The God of Day and Night walked in front and explained to Chen Yuan: "There are many immortals. Every day, many people in the city come to the City God's Temple to burn incense and pray for the City God. Your blessing."

Ye You Shen also echoed: "Yes, Immortal Chief, don't look at the size of the City God's Temple. It is crowded with people who come to offer incense and worship every day. Not to mention the 15th day of the Lunar New Year, plus various festivals such as Qingming and Zhongyuan. , by that time, the streets in front of and behind the Chenghuang Temple were full of people, so crowded that it was impossible to move."

When Chen Yuan heard this, his expression remained normal, but a doubt arose in his heart.

Could it be that the incense in this City God's Temple is really so strong?

Jianghuai City God In Jianghuai City, there are so many people who believe in it?
But it's not right!
If so many people really believe in it, why has he never heard of it?
"Since this City God has so many followers, it must have taken a long time for him to become the City God of Jianghuai, and he has accumulated for a long time to reach his current scale, right?"

Chen Yuan asked again.

"Chang Immortal, our Lord City God has just become the City God of Jianghuai for more than a hundred years. The reason why there are so many believers is because our Lord City God has outstanding abilities."

Ye Youshen looked a little proud.

"I see."

Chen Yuan replied.

Still holding many doubts in his heart, Day and Night Travel God finally brought Chen Yuan to the main hall of the City God Temple.

After entering, Chen Yuan saw that in the main hall, the person enshrined was a slightly fat god, wearing a bright red gold-trimmed robe, a kind-hearted god, with a smile on his face, holding an order rune in his hand, sitting high. On the throne, overlooking the statue of the god, next to the statue are enshrined the city god, the day and night wandering god, the shackles general, the civil and military judge, etc.

The configuration of the city god is the same as elsewhere, but the appearance is different.

This clearly looked like a very kind-hearted statue of a god, but Chen Yuan didn't know why, but he instinctively felt a little unhappy in his heart.

I always feel that the Jianghuai City God enshrined on the main seat has a kind and kind smile, but what is hidden is lies.

"I haven't even met him in person. I can't judge a person by his appearance and speculate on a god."

Chen Yuan realized that there was something wrong with his mentality and quickly adjusted his mentality.

"Chang Immortal, after each City God is built a temple by the people, the court or the upper realm canonizes him as a City God, he will open a small underworld based on his own statue."

"Although this small underworld is not big, it is the foundation for the city god and his ghosts and gods to work and maintain stability."

"Of course we also have the City God. The Immortal Chief is the body of the soul. As long as he follows us, he can enter this little underworld."

After entering the main hall of the City God's Temple, Ye Youshen reminded Chen Yuandao.

"The poor know."

Chen Yuan nodded.

In Chen Yuan's view, this small underworld opened by the City God is somewhat similar to the divine kingdom of Western gods in previous lives.This small underworld, some people also call it the underworld or the underworld, is a world suitable for ghosts to survive.

And it is connected with the Netherworld. The core is the incense and wish power of each city god. Once the city god falls, this small underworld will soon collapse.

"Then, Immortal Chief, the two of us will go first."

After the day and night wandering gods looked at each other, they each turned into a stream of light and flew towards the statue of the City God enshrined in the main hall. Once they touched the statue of the City God, they disappeared completely.

Chen Yuan also followed suit. His soul turned into a golden stream of light and rushed towards the statue of the City God.

As soon as he touched the statue of the City God, Chen Yuan felt that he had entered a cold and dark passage, and he quickly walked through the passage.

Not long after, they arrived in front of a very large palace built with black boulders.

The God of Day and Night seemed to have just arrived, and happened to be standing not far from him.

"Taoist Master, please come in. General Shackles has just returned and has notified the City God. The City God has prepared wine and food in the main hall to entertain the Taoist Master."

Seeing Chen Yuan's arrival, Riyu Shen came up to greet him.

"Let's go."

Chen Yuan nodded.

The day and night wandering gods led the way, and the group walked towards the dark City God's Hall.

"Immortal, your soul is too terrifying. I beg you to restrain its power a little later. Otherwise, the ghosts who serve as servants in the hall are ordinary ghosts. If they are too close to you, I am afraid they will be killed." It disappeared into ashes.”

Yeyoushen reminded Chen Yuan.

"Pindao knows."

Chen Yuan responded.

After entering the City God's Hall, Chen Yuan looked around and saw that the hall was not empty, but the light was a little dim.

On the main seat in the main hall, there is a statue of the City God enshrined in the main hall of the City God Temple outside. A middle-aged man who looks and wears something similar is sitting on the main seat.

On the right hand side under the main seat, there is an empty low table, and a table of wine and food has been placed on the table.

"I didn't know that the Immortal was visiting Jianghuai City, so I specially invited the Immortal to a banquet and asked the Immortal to forgive me."

Seeing Chen Yuan walking in from outside, Jianghuai City God immediately stood up and bowed to Chen Yuan with a very respectful expression.

Especially when he saw the faint golden light on Chen Yuan's body, and his soul, which was like the sun in the world, the light shone on him. Even he, the city god, could feel a strong burning sensation. , a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.

At once he was very sure that the story that General Shackles secretly came back early and said that they met an immortal this time was not a lie.

"Those who don't know are not guilty. With such an arrangement, Lord Cheng Huang is determined."

Chen Yuan nodded.

"Please also invite the immortal to take your seat."

Jianghuai City God couldn't hear the joy and anger in Chen Yuan's words, and felt a little uneasy, he said to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan nodded and took his seat, taking the empty seat on the right side of the main seat.

"Exalted Immortal, I have heard many legends about immortals, but this is the first time I have seen a real immortal. Do you dare to ask for the immortal's name?"

After Chen Yuan took his seat, Jianghuai City God sat down and asked Chen Yuan.

"The name of the poor Taoist is Qingming."

Chen Yuan replied.

"Dare I ask which immortal mountain you practice in? Or is it an immortal from the upper world?"

Then Jianghuai City God asked again.

"Lord City God, you are trying to find out the origin of Pindao!"

However, Chen Yuan looked at Jianghuai City God sitting on the main seat with a smile, making him feel on pins and needles.

"I never meant this. Don't misunderstand me, Immortal. I was reckless just now. I will punish myself first."

Jianghuai City God laughed sarcastically and explained quickly, then picked up the full glass of wine in front of him and drank it all in one gulp, apologizing to Chen Yuan.

"Okay, Lord City God, I am not really here to attend the banquet."

Seeing that Jianghuai City God was very good at acting, Chen Yuan went straight to the point.

"Why did the Immortal say this? Does the Immortal have other purposes for coming here?"

Jianghuai City God looked at Chen Yuan with a very puzzled look.

"I was not sure at first, but after arriving at your place, Pindao was convinced that you, the City God of Jianghuai, are not a righteous god who protects the peace of the whole country, but a hidden evil god."

Chen Yuan looked at Jianghuai City God in front of him and said.

In Chen Yuan's view, there is not much difference between gods and human court officials.

It's just that one is in charge of the order of the world, and the other is in charge of the order of heaven and earth.

The ghosts and gods represented by the City God are in charge of the order after death.

The power of incense on the Jianghuai City God in front of him is very rich, even much richer than that of Lujiang City God Jia Shedao.

You must know that Lujiang City God Jia Shedao was a member of the previous dynasty. He had been a City God for hundreds of years, but his accumulation of incense and vows was only half that of the Jianghuai City God who had been a City God for more than a hundred years.

Abnormal things in the world are demons. Chen Yuan felt that there must be something fishy about this matter.

"Shangxian, this is definitely a misunderstanding."

Jianghuai City God quickly explained.

"If this is a misunderstanding, then explain to Pindao that the God of Day and Night has said that you have only been a Jianghuai City God for more than a hundred years, so why have you accumulated so much incense and wish power?"

Chen Yuan asked the Jianghuai City God.

"Lord City God, I am willing to use 1 taels of silver to buy a chance to be reincarnated and start a new life, and let our family members believe in Lord City God."

At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside the door, and a figure wearing a python robe broke in from the outside.

Following this figure, there were several Yin soldiers chasing after him with panicked expressions.

Chen Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the figure breaking in from outside. Isn't this a coincidence?
Here comes another acquaintance!
"Xia Yan, don't turn your back on others. The reason why so many people in Jianghuai City believe in you is not only because of yourself, but also because I have helped you."

The figure did not notice Chen Yuan, who was sitting on the right, and threatened Jianghuai City God who was sitting on the main seat.

"What's going on? Didn't you say that you should lock up King Nanxiang first and wait until I have time to deal with matters related to him?"

Jianghuai City God stood up suddenly, looked ugly and said angrily.

It was really raining all night. Originally, the two idiots of Day and Night Traveling God had already exposed the flaws and made the other party doubt him. Now the appearance of this person can be said to have confirmed the other party's suspicion.

"Lord City God, we have failed in our duty in this matter, mainly because of the man named Wu Bao. Even if he turns into a ghost, he is as agile as an ape and a bird. Ordinary evil spirits cannot catch up with him. After he regains his consciousness, not only I escaped by myself and let the fifteenth prince go."

Yin Zai, who chased after the leader, explained.

Only then did Jianghuai City God know that it was because of this reason, but it was too late to say anything now.

Because some things he tried hard to hide have been exposed to this immortal.

"It's you!"

After saying what he just said, the ghost of King Nanxiang noticed Chen Yuanshen sitting next to him, who had been silent and watching the show, and a trace of panic and fear flashed in his eyes.

It was this young Taoist who killed him tonight in the palace without caring about his identity.

Unexpectedly, even if he died, the other party would not let him go, and they all chased him to the City God.

"Yes, it's Pindao. Your Majesty, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."

Chen Yuan smiled at the frightened ghost of King Nanxiang.
