Dao Fruit

As soon as these words came out, Wen Anguo's hands shook and he froze on the spot.

"You are joking, our general is joking." A voice came from beside General Nalang, and a man with a deer-headed and rat-like appearance quickly smoothed things over.

"Haha, the general is really funny, funny." Wen Anguo came back to his senses, laughed twice, changed the subject, and soon began to greet others.

"Huh, boring." General Lang sneered. He looked at the people in the room who were laughing and licking his lips. His cold eyes looked around everyone, and finally fell on the pile of meat in front of the table. He grabbed it with his hand and chewed it hard. His hands and mouth were immediately full, and half of his face was greasy.

There were mostly civil servants around. They all showed a hint of contempt when they saw this, but they remained calm and just drank with each other.

The banquet lasted for nearly two hours, and by the time General Lang and his men returned to the inn, it was already late at night.

In front of the door, the man with a deer head and rat eyes bent down and spoke carefully to General Lang: "General, after all, we are in the realm of humans now, so please be more careful."

However, General Lang waved his hand and interrupted directly: "You can worry about these things, otherwise what do you want your subordinates to do? They humans say that there is a difference between superiors and subordinates. If you let me worry about everything, you have no need to live. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" As soon as the man heard this, he was sweating like rain, nodded like garlic, and did not dare to say more.

General Lang nodded, opened the door and walked in.

"Humans are just food for us, why should we think so much? In the realm of Yuanning Mansion, we will be kings and hegemons. When we accumulate strength in the future, we will leave Shu and fight for hegemony in the Central Plains, truly enslaving mankind!"

With this thought in his mind, he walked around and opened all the windows, letting the moonlight shine in unfettered.

A faint radiance shone on General Lang's strong body. He trembled all over, his face showed a look of intoxication, and the hairs in his pores became thicker and longer.

Boom!

Suddenly, there was a strange noise from the corner of the room.

"Huh?" General Lang stopped, and the hair on his body shrank back instantly. Then he turned around and walked to the corner and lifted up a cage.

There was a hedgehog in the cage. When he noticed General Lang's gaze, the hedgehog immediately balled up and trembled slightly.

When General Lang saw this, he chuckled: "Don't be afraid. As long as you help me find that mortal, I will let you go, and your tribe will be free again. Of course, it can't be delayed for too long." …”

………………

"It's been a long wait. It's been a long wait."

Qiu Yan sat in the solemn hall, his eyes closed, there was nothing around him, and he felt a sense of deathly silence. It was not until this confession sounded that the deathly silence was dispelled, and Qiu Yan opened his eyes.

The visitor came from the land south of the city with which he had a close relationship. He had a humble expression on his face: "Today there were many people who died tragically in the city, and most of them were remnant souls. The Lord City God had to spend more effort to guide them. This happened. Suddenly, that’s why you’ve been waiting here for so long.”

"Oh? Suddenly there was a tragic death. What happened in the city?" Qiu Yan's heart moved and he asked aloud.

He used the starlight as a guide to come to this stern hall, where the City God's Temple of Yuanning City is located. He was then led here and waited quietly. He was still suspicious at first, but now he has paid attention after hearing the words of the land in the south of the city. , most of the doubts disappeared.

"It's nothing, it's just that a few monsters entered the city, didn't keep their mouths shut, and swallowed a few living people." The land in the south of the city said calmly, and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong.

Qiu Yan was startled when he heard this. Thoughts began to swirl in his mind, but he said, "Huh? Monsters eating people? This is not a trivial matter. I don't know how the City God would deal with it."

"What big deal is it if monsters eat people?" Chengnan Tudu smiled and glanced at Qiu Yan, "We, as locals, command a method to communicate Yin and Yang. No matter it is a human, an animal, or a bird, we are all the same. After death, only the body is lost, and only the soul remains. Demons eat people, and humans eat livestock. What's the difference? Good and evil will have their own destiny, and the six paths of reincarnation will occur in the next life. The demons who entered the city today eat people but do not capture their souls. However, they have crossed the line and committed crimes. , you will still be punished, Lord Chenghuang has sent someone to hold you accountable, and you must report it to the underworld and make a note in the book of life and death."

After hearing this, Qiu Yan was stunned.

Seeing his appearance, the land in the south of the city said again: "You are a born god, and you must be worshiped by humans more often. It doesn't matter what kind of legal duties you receive, or what matters you take care of. If you have a heart, just protect those humans more in the future." ”

Having said this, he patted his head: "Look, I'm off topic again. I'm here to take you to see Lord Du Chenghuang. You just come with me."

With that said, he took the lead and Qiu Yan followed him.

As we walked, Chengnan Tutu suddenly turned around and said, "Last time we met, we felt like old friends, but we forgot to ask where our brother was from. It's hard to introduce him to Lord Cheng Huang when we meet him."

Qiu Yan was already prepared for this: "I was born in Xianyuan Mountain. Since I ascended to the throne of God, I have never had a god's name."

"As expected," Chengnan Tutu nodded, "then brother, you might as well take the name 'Puyuan' first, and then change it when you are canonized by heaven." Then he smiled again and said, "I only ask for the name. , I haven’t informed myself yet, my name is Huang Jue.”

While talking, the two of them had reached the end of the empty hall and passed through a corridor. In front of them stood a white wall. Huang Jue, the man from the south of the city, took a step forward and raised his hand, causing ripples like water to appear on the wall, like a curtain. Open.

Vaguely, Qiu Yan felt an aura of isolation and isolation from the wall.

"I'll take you here. The master is waiting for you inside." He took two steps back and raised his hand to salute. "The business here is over. I'll take my leave first. If you have time, you may come to my place." After he finished speaking, he turned into a green light and disappeared.

Seeing the guide leave, Qiu Yan did not feel strange. He looked at the lifted wall. It was hazy and difficult to see clearly.

Taking a deep breath, he took a step and walked into the smoke.

The next moment, the mist parted, revealing the scene inside.

What appeared in front of him was an ordinary hall, tall and spacious, with a magnificent house.

There was a table in the middle, and an incense burner on the table, with smoke lingering and exuding fragrance.

Next to the table, someone was sitting upright.

The figure was thin and slender, wearing armor with a cold glow. One hand was placed on the table, holding a book. There was an inexplicable aura all over his body. Without words or movements, the figure seemed to fill the entire room.

At just one glance, Qiu Yan's attention was attracted by the figure, and then he noticed that the person's face was covered by a silver mask.

The mask had eyes, nose and mouth, and was metallic in color.

After a slight pause, Qiu Yan then raised his arms and bowed: "Minyuan Mountain God, meet the City God."

After hearing this, the man moved, and raised his empty left hand: "Minyuan Mountain God? No need to be polite." The voice was round and smooth, like a clear spring flowing through the heart.

Qiu Yan was slightly surprised when he heard it.

"This City God... is actually a woman!"
