Chapter 339 Yaocheng City God Temple

Wu Xian took a breath.

Prepare for battle immediately.

He didn't expect that just taking a steamed bun would lead to such serious consequences.

But when he looked carefully at the two evil spirits.

But I also feel that there is no need to be too nervous.

The two ghost messengers were dressed in black robes, with iron chains around their waists and holding mourning sticks, but they were thin, with sunken cheeks, and their faces were pale and empty, as if they were overdrawn.

The three of them came closer.

The sick ghost flattered: "Sir, it's them, don't you think they are..."

The ghost on the left pushed the sick ghost away, then took out a ghost note from his pocket with a serious look on his face: "Is this what you gave him?"

Wu Xian narrowed his eyes. It seemed that the problem was not with stealing the steamed buns, but with the ghost money he gave to avoid trouble.

"Yes, this is my compensation to him."

Du E keenly noticed the shock in the eyes of the two ghost messengers. They looked at each other, and their waists, which were already bent, now bent even lower.

"If you two are not busy, please come with us. The City God wants to see you two."

Wu Xian was startled.

He was not surprised by the City God. After all, there were already ghost messengers in the mass grave, so it was normal to have another City God.

What really shocked him was.

The attitude of these two ghost messengers towards him was so humble.

As the saying goes, when you give someone a gift, you must have a reason in mind. There might be important clues at the City God Temple, so they decided to follow the ghost to meet the City God.

With the help of Yinchai, we saw ten different scenes at every step. It felt like we had reached our destination after only a few steps.

The signboard in front of the City God Temple reads "Weiling Zhaoying Temple", and the plaque behind it reads "Yaocheng City God Temple". After entering the door, you will see the majestic inner temple, with colorful paintings on the dome, dragons and phoenixes carved on the columns, mortise and tenon joints, and thousands of layers of brackets showing majesty...

This temple is so exquisite and majestic, it must have been very popular in the past, but now it is covered with dust, and the pillars supporting the walls are all damaged. Several ghost messengers are sitting on the ground in a scattered manner, with no spirit in their eyes.

Walk all the way to the end.

Then he saw the City God sitting on the throne.

Chenghuang is the god who guards the city.

Responsible for all the underworld affairs in a certain place.

Usually this position is held by loyal and heroic people who died for their country, or upright and wise people. The City God in front of him was the first righteous god Wu Xian had seen since he entered the blessed land.

But what this righteous god brought to Wu Xian was not shock, but...

miserable!

The City God was wrapped in thick paper strips, and countless roots spread out from the wooden throne, binding his limbs. His collarbones, palms, and soles were all pierced by white ceramic spikes...

Not so much gods.

Rather, he is a prisoner nailed to a throne.

As soon as the City God saw Wu Xian and the others, he asked expectantly, "The Underworld Banknotes are issued by heaven and earth and are only circulated among the upper echelons of the Underworld. Since you can produce the Underworld Banknotes, you must be a messenger sent by the Underworld. Has the Underworld finally found a way to come to the human world?"

Wu Xian was stunned for a moment.

These words of the City God revealed a huge amount of information, the most important of which was that the road from the underworld to the human world had been blocked.

Wu Xian shook his head: "I'm sorry, I'm not a messenger from the underworld..."

The light in the City God's eyes suddenly disappeared, and his whole aura became even gloomier, and even those decadent ghost messengers exuded a sense of death.

Wu Xian immediately added another sentence.

"But we need to complete a proper funeral. Can you help us?"

The City God raised his head, his sealed body trembled twice, and a faint divine light suddenly rose from the throne.

"it is good!"

…Then Wu Xian had a conversation with the City God.

From the perspective of the City God, we understand why the world has become what it is today.

One day forty years ago.

The City God Temple suddenly lost its connection with the underworld.

Without communication between the Yin and Yang worlds, the City God lost the source of his power and began to become weaker and weaker.

So the City God conducted an in-depth investigation and found out that Yaocheng had been renamed the Immortal City. The people were frightened by evil spirits and were gradually giving up funerals.

The evil spirits that are terrorizing the people are the Three Immortals!
These three fairies were originally ordinary evil spirits. The flower fairy was originally a wild flower on the Yin-Yang Road, the paper fairy was a paper man with eyes accidentally painted, and the porcelain fairy was a porcelain piece that was buried with its own spiritual charm.

For some unknown reason, these three immortals had strange powers that allowed them to scare all the people into not daring to hold funerals.

In order to perform duties.

The City God led the underworld officials to fight against the evil spirits, but was ultimately defeated and sealed in the City God Temple by the Three Immortals. The underworld under the jurisdiction of the City God Temple was also transformed by the Three Immortals into an underworld independent of the underworld...

The road was blocked though.

But there is another way to reopen the passage between the Yin and Yang worlds.

That's what it means to have a proper funeral!

After a proper funeral is held, the deceased will be forcibly sent to the underworld by the laws of heaven and earth.

The messenger of Hades.

You can also come to the human world through this temporary passage!

The City God believes that all the chaos in the world today is because the underworld cannot come to the human world to govern. If a passage can be opened to let the messenger of the underworld come in, the world can get back on track!

This is also the reason why the three immortals transformed the underworld.

If you push too hard and take a one-size-fits-all approach, there will always be people who try to take risks and hold a proper funeral.

But if there is this underworld.

Those who were powerful and capable would have a final resting place after death, and the Three Immortals no longer had to worry about anyone opening the passage to the underworld.

As for ordinary people?
They simply don't have the ability to put together what's needed for a proper funeral.

So when he heard that Wu Xian and others were going to hold a funeral, the City God immediately agreed.

……

Understand the whole story.

Wu Xian handed the funeral list to the City God, including not only his and Du E's, but also everything needed by all the other living people.

It would be a shame not to make good use of such a good opportunity.

After seeing this, the City God looked a little embarrassed.

"Paper money, gold ingots and other things are plentiful in the underworld."

"But the designated objects and paper figurines are a little hard to find."

"Those things may exist in the underworld, but I can't go looking for them in a big way, because that would definitely make the Three Immortals aware of what we are doing."

"So I can only send secret agents to investigate openly and secretly, but this will greatly reduce efficiency. I don't know when I can find everything. It will take at least a few hours."

Wu Xian shook his head helplessly.

"After a few hours, that's too tight."

"If I can tell you where those paper figurines are hidden, you can just go get them. Can you bring the time forward?"

at this time.

Suddenly a voice came from outside.

It’s Wen Chao’s voice!

He actually found the City God Temple, and behind him, there were three figures, a man and two women!
