Lu Zheng was already very familiar with ghosts, and the one standing not far from him was obviously a ghost.
"Which ghost are you?" Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes, "Why didn't you take action just now?"
The visitor was dressed in brown armor, and his figure was more solid than the one in Guidu just now. Although his face was pale, he still had a smoky look.
"Tonglin County Yin Division's city patrol envoy, Duan Zhong, has met the Taoist priest!"
Eh? Yinsi?
Lu Zheng's heart moved, he finally saw the official ghost.
"Lu Zheng, a layman at Baiyun Temple, has met General Duan." Lu Zheng smiled in return.
"Don't dare, Taoist priest, you're being polite. I'm just a city patrol envoy. I definitely can't be called a general. You can just call me patrol officer!" Duan Zhong waved his hands repeatedly, but with a smile on his face, it was obviously very useful.
"I was just patrolling the city, and happened to find the area south of the city. I found that there was a lot of ghosts outside the city, and there were also flashes of Taoist mysterious light, so I came over to see if I could help. I didn't expect that the Taoist priest was a dual practitioner of Taoism and martial arts. That night, the camp was full of ghosts.
Duan is so impressed that he has no power to fight back!"
"Inspector Duan is overly praised. He is just trying to protect himself."
Lu Zheng sensed carefully and discovered that Duan Zhong did have some smoke and smoke on his body, and the smoke seemed to have magical effects. It should be the reason for the incense.
The two exchanged some business words, and Lu Zheng was about to say goodbye and leave, but Duan Zhong reached out to stop him.
"Is there anything else, Inspector Duan?" Lu Zheng asked in surprise.
By the way, Lu Zheng actually didn't want to deal with the official practitioners or ghosts of the Great Jing Dynasty. After all, he was a shady person. If someone found out that he had no "personal history", it would be difficult for him to explain himself if he really digs deeper.
"Exactly, I need to trouble the Taoist priest to move and report to the underworld."
Duan Zhong said sheepishly, "After all, the matter involves the Netherworld, so we have to inform Lord City God about this matter."
"Do I have to go too?"
Duan Zhong blinked, a little confused, "You have seized a magical weapon belonging to King Yelan. The Taoist Master practices Xuanmen Kung Fu. Why not let Lord City God extract the ghostly energy from this ghost weapon, and then the Taoist Master can use it to
Where are the Taoist instruments refined into?"
Lu Zheng couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, thinking that it turned out that his loyalty to him to go to the underworld was actually a good intention.
Lu Zheng thought for a while. Although he didn't know much, he was indeed a monk halfway. If he didn't understand something, he could just ask. The questions weren't big.
"Inspector Duan, please forgive me. I have not been practicing in Baiyun Temple for a long time, and I still don't know a lot of common knowledge about cultivation." Lu Zheng raised his hands and said, "I wonder if it would be convenient for you, Lord City God, to help me extract the energy of the netherworld?"
"Convenient!" Duan Zhong said with a smile, "Although we use incense to become gods, we are still ghost bodies after all. The netherworld energy in this magical weapon is extremely rich, and extracting it will also be helpful to our cultivation."
"Oh? You can actually use this ghost's magic weapon?" Lu Zheng asked.
"Of course." Duan Zhong nodded.
"I see." Lu Zheng nodded, thoughtfully, "In that case, please ask Inspector Duan to lead the way."
"Taoist Master please!"
Duan Zhong stretched out his hand to make a false gesture, and then he floated up and flew towards the county seat.
Lu Zheng affixed another magical talisman to himself, and with a tap of his foot, he crossed the distance of about ten feet and followed Duan Zhong closely.
…
When he came to the city wall, Duan Zhong walked directly through the wall, while Lu Zheng flew past, but he was still not slow at all.
Duan Zhong glanced at Lu Zheng with admiration, "The Taoist Master is young, but he is a practitioner of both Taoism and martial arts. He has extraordinary attainments, and his future achievements will be limitless."
"You're so polite, Inspector. It's a lucky coincidence that I've succeeded in refining my Qi. I'll just take it step by step from now on."
"Baiyun Temple has a great reputation, and Xiantian Yunqi is famous. With the Taoist priest's talent, the future is bound to be promising."
Lu Zheng secretly wondered what Xiantian Yunqi was, but he laughed, "Then I'll ask the patrol envoy Ji Yan."
…
Soon, the two of them arrived at a location in the north and west of the county seat.
City God Temple!
Lu Zheng had visited the Chenghuang Temple during the day before. At that time, it felt like an ordinary official temple, but it occupied a large area.
At this time, night came, and I found that although the temple was still dark and without lights, I could always feel that there was movement in the temple among the shadows.
Under the guidance of Duan Zhong, the moment Lu Zheng stepped into the Chenghuang Temple.
In a flash before his eyes, the situation changed drastically.
The lights are bright, there are many soldiers and armors, and people come and go in an orderly manner.
"I'll choke you!"
Lu Zheng was stunned and couldn't believe his eyes.
The place where he was was dozens of times larger than the City God's Temple in the daytime, and there were hundreds of Yin soldiers patrolling and training as far as he could see.
At the same time, Lu Zheng also saw some civilian personnel wearing official robes walking around, and he didn't know what they were doing.
If Lu Zheng hadn't been able to tell that these guys were all ghosts, he would have thought he had entered the county government office during the day.
"Taoist Master, please come this way! Let's go to Li Pan to report first," Duan Zhong said.
"Okay, okay." Lu Zheng was still shocked and nodded repeatedly.
In the past, he was misled by movies and TV shows. Everything he saw showed two or three big cats and kittens. Lu Zheng thought that the City God's Temple was also a combination of a City God, a few judges, and a few ghosts. And the City God's Temple was really not that big, wasn't it?
?
The co-author is really a "division"!
Duan Zhong led Lu Zheng through the school grounds and came to a house.
The main door of the hall opened, and sitting inside was a green-faced priest wearing a blue official robe, who was writing fast at his desk.
"Master Li."
"Huh?" Judge Li looked up and saw Lu Zheng and Duan Zhong standing at the door.
A green light flashed in his eyes, and Judge Li immediately stood up, "I wonder what the reason for this young master coming to Yinsi at night is?"
Lu Zheng's heart moved. The moment Judge Li looked at him, he felt like he was being spied on. Then Judge Li asked questions naturally, indicating that he had seen his true identity, at least part of it.
Lu Zheng was surprised. Is it because of his own ability or because of the blessing of the City God Temple?
"Lu Zheng, a lay scholar of Baiyun Temple, has met Mr. Li!" Lu Zheng handed over his hand, showing no lack of courtesy.
Duan Zhong took a step forward and said, "Sir, Daochang Lu just returned from outside the city. On the way, he met the commander of a night camp of King Yelan. He killed him and handed over a ghost magic weapon. He went to patrol the city.
I encountered it at that time, so I asked the Taoist priest to come here and report it."
Judge Li was shocked when he heard this, "Boss Du from the Yeyou camp is still holding a ghost magic weapon. Could it be that King Yelan has some plans?"
Turning his eyes, Judge Li frowned, and then said, "This matter must be reported to the City God, please make a decision. Mr. Lu, please come with me."
Seeing Judge Li's thoughts, Lu Zheng originally wanted to say that King Yelan had no plans, but when he heard that he was going to take him to see the City God, he thought that he would just say it once, as he was going to marry the City God.
A good fate.
So he shut up, just nodded, stepped aside to give way, and followed Judge Li towards the City God's Hall deep inside the City God's Temple.
