Stepping into the City God's Hall, looking at the ghosts and gods suppressed by his aura, Xu Junming smiled faintly and sealed his cultivation again.
The pressure from the soul disappeared instantly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up. However, the eyes looking at Xu Junming were full of fear.
Shen Bi, who was sitting at the top, came over quickly, clasping his fists and bending down.
"The city god Shen of Lingzhou City in Fuyu State must pay homage to the Immortal!"
The ghosts and gods under him also bowed and saluted, with extremely respectful manners.
"Lord City God, please get up. I'm just wandering here."
"Shangxian, you're welcome. Just call me Shen Bi." After saying this, he turned around and said, "Shangxian, please take a seat."
After looking at the furnishings that looked like the lobby of a county government office, Xu Junming shook his head.
"Shen Chenghuang's place is more elegant."
"This City God's Dharma Realm is full of filth. If the Immortal does not abandon it, the backyard of the mortal City God's Temple will be very elegant."
"Just go there."
The light on Xu Junming's body flashed and disappeared instantly.
"You guys are optimistic about this place and do your duty. I'll go and come back." Shen Bi turned around and explained.
"Sir, let me go with you."
A ghost general wearing a helmet and armor, dressed as a general and with a strong aura came over and said.
"No need. The other party is Yuanshen Daxiu, and the entire Chenghuang Dharma Realm is no match for him, so don't waste your efforts."
"But…!"
"It's nothing. Just stay here and wait for me to come back."
Xu Junming, who had arrived at the backyard of the City God's Temple, moved the bronze mirror to look at the situation in the City God's Dharma Realm, and thought to himself: "This person is really aware of current affairs."
In a flash of light, Shen Bi was already in front of him.
"What does the Immortal think of this place?"
"Very good."
This is not because he is being polite.
In the backyard of the Mortal City God's Temple, there are deep ancient trees and blooming flowers. There is a lake in the middle and a rockery spring pool. Under the moonlight after the rain, it is particularly bright and clean. Compared with the daytime, it has a unique flavor.
Xu Junming walked to a pavilion by the lake.
After a brief glance, he turned around with his hands behind his hands.
"The scenery here is indeed wonderful, and Shen Chenghuang is an elegant man."
"It's just a game, it shouldn't be praised by gods."
Xu Junming smiled faintly.
"Can Shen Chenghuang explain to me the origin of Lingzhou City God?"
"my pleasure."
After nodding, Shen Bi organized his words.
"The Lingzhou City God was established by the Wu Dynasty a thousand years ago. The leader of the Wu Dynasty replaced the Immortal Way with the Shinto. He granted amnesty to the City God all over the country, managed the land, and set up day and night wandering gods to patrol the country. At that time, Fuyu State was not yet Fuyu State. It is Lingzhou under the leadership of the Wu Dynasty."
"And I am the City God who pardoned Lingzhou from the Wu Dynasty. Although the Wu Dynasty later collapsed due to the counterattack of the Immortals, Lingzhou was lucky enough to escape because it was far away from Wu Dynasty, and the city god system in Lingzhou was also completely preserved. Come down."
Xu Junming nodded slightly.
He had also read about the Wu Dynasty, a dynasty that combined humans and gods and suppressed the immortal way with Shinto.
The founder of the Wu Kingdom was too ambitious and wanted to become the emperor of heaven, replace the immortal way with the divine way, control the human way, and rule the world forever.
However, because of his brutal suppression of the Immortal Dao, various factions of the Immortal Dao finally came together to attack him. After a great war, the Wu Dynasty fell apart.
The Shinto Dynasty has also become a thing of the past, but I didn’t expect that in this land of the East China Sea, there are still remnants left by Wu.
"You are so lucky to have survived the war that destroyed the country."
Shen Bi smiled bitterly.
"If Lingzhou wasn't far away overseas, and the immortal sects suffered heavy losses after a battle and were in urgent need of recuperation, I wouldn't have stayed."
Xu Junming nodded, he didn't believe it was just because of these reasons.
But it was already a matter of sesame seeds and rotten millet, and he didn't want to ask about it.
"How many years have you been a city god here?"
"Nine hundred and thirty-six years."
Although the Yuanying monk only has a lifespan of eight hundred years, the City God is a divine way. As long as the incense continues, he can exist forever and die with this world.
"Nearly a thousand years is really a long time."
After finishing speaking with a slight sigh, "Since you are the City God, have you ever seen the underworld?"
Shen must know where the hell he is talking about is.
He shook his head now.
Xu Junming felt a little disappointed. Although he knew that this underworld had completely disappeared tens of thousands of years ago after the ancient war, he still wanted to find it.
Because he wanted to try to see if he could contact Simu.
Unfortunately, the response was still negative.
"In that case, what is the purpose of detaining those innocent souls?"
"I just want to prevent them from causing trouble. Although the City God's underworld is not big, it still suppresses these ghosts."
Xu Junming nodded slightly.
Although there is no underworld in this world, there is reincarnation.
After a person dies, as long as he does not resist reincarnation, he will disappear after seven days.
Xu Junming once used a bronze mirror to analyze and found that the power that makes ghosts disappear is the omnipresent divine power of reincarnation in heaven and earth. But he doesn't know whether this power sends ghosts to the underworld.
The marks he left on the ghost's body were all erased by the power of reincarnation.
Of course, if you die crying for injustice and resist reincarnation, you will become a ghost and remain in the mortal world.
Because there are no Yin soldiers, ghost soldiers and Yama underworld, and there is sufficient spiritual energy in this world, there are many ghosts. If it were not suppressed by the Xuanjing Division and various sects, the world of Liaozhai would have been full of ghosts and monsters.
"Shen Chenghuang is so kind-hearted."
"It's my responsibility, I don't dare to praise you as much as I can."
He glanced at Xu Junming and asked carefully: "I wonder what the name of the Supreme Immortal is...?"
"My name is Xu Junming."
"Xu Junming." After tasting it, his expression suddenly stopped.
"Xu Junming? Master Chongshan?"
The sound instantly rose an octave.
"What, you know me?"
"It turned out to be Master Chongshan in person. Although Shen Bi was far away overseas, he had also heard about the great achievements of Master Chongshan in crushing the Black Heart Demon Cult and wiping out the Longjiang Shui Tribe. Especially Master Chongshan's hatred of evil and his selfless style of conduct made Shen Bi admire him even more. To. Now that I can see a real person here, I am really lucky."
Although it is difficult to tell whether the words are true or false, they are indeed very useful to the ears.
Although Xu Junming remained unmoved, he would not reach out to hit the smiling man.
"Shen Chenghuang is overly praised."
"No, no, no. Although Shen Bi is far away in Buyeo, he has always admired the real person in his heart. It's just his duty and he can't get away from it. Otherwise, he would have gone to Dayong to kowtow before him and listen to his teachings."
"You can't tell, this guy looks like a loyal guy, he flatters him every time, and he is even more slippery than Mr. Niu and I." Kui Niu stood aside and thought to himself.
"I don't take teachings seriously, but I have something I want to ask Shen Chenghuang for advice."
"Sir, please tell me. Shen will know everything and tell you everything!"
