Chapter 189 The old man in the orange, the fate of teaching
In the City God's Temple.
Wei Yecheng looked at the bustling crowd of pilgrims around him, but his eyes were a little dull.
Three days.
Three whole days.
He barely slept a wink, and he had lost a lot of weight. He looked haggard and looked haggard.
In the past three days, he had tried every means and racked his brains to appease and coax Leng Youxu.
Let Leng Youxu refrain from publicizing the news of Li Jiyin's death for the time being.
At first, Leng Youxu was in shock and obeyed his words.
But after all, he is an inner disciple of the Yubing Sect, and he has become a leader on his own since he came down from the mountain.
Only one day later, Leng Youxu came to his senses and insisted on reporting the matter to Shanmen.
Not only that, Wei Yecheng clearly felt that Leng Youxu seemed to be suspicious of him.
He had indeed thought about silencing Leng Yuxu and finishing it off once and for all.
But Leng Youxu, in addition to being a disciple of the Yubing Sect, was also the commander-in-chief of the bad guys in Guangyuan County. He held the big seal and gained the purple aura.
According to rumors, there is a Heavenly Supervising Officer in Chang'an City, who usually hides among the barnyard officials and minor officials. He is actually a direct descendant of the emperor and has direct access to Tianting. He is very sensitive to the rise and fall of Ziwei Qi.
If he killed such a bad handsome man as Leng Youxu, wouldn't he be more exposed?
He thought about it, but in desperation, he simply broke out and released his niece Wei Youniang from the water prison, relying on her former reputation to check and balance Leng Youxu's family.
He hurried to the Chenghuang Temple to inquire about the whereabouts of elder Li Jiyin.
There was sudden silence in my ears.
The flowing figures around him gradually faded.
When Wei Yecheng came to his senses, he found that there was no one in the Chenghuang Temple except himself.
The sky outside the temple was dark, and the heavy snow was drifting, but it could not cover up the incense that was swirling all over the sky like yellow sand in the desert.
All things wither and decay.
In the whole world, only the City God's Temple and the overwhelming incense are left.
"Where is this? Am I still in the world?"
Wei Yecheng was secretly shocked and immediately became anxious.
Because he had already seen the middle-aged man stepping down from the clay statue of the City God.
"Wei Yecheng, a warrior from China, pays homage to the City God."
Wei Yecheng bowed respectfully.
He was thinking about how to inquire about the whereabouts of Li Jiyin's soul.
A quiet and elegant voice sounded next to my ears.
"Wei Yecheng, do you regret it?"
Hearing this, Wei Yecheng was stunned.
He raised his head and saw those dark and deep eyes.
It was as if all the thoughts in his heart could not be hidden from the other person's gaze that penetrated people's hearts.
He originally wanted to shirk the blame and hide it, but now he knew that if he didn't tell the truth, the City God might turn around and leave.
"I have regrets...but I don't regret it either."
Wei Yecheng clenched his fists, then loosened his fists, and said with a wry smile: "A certain warrior is a soul-gathering warrior. If he surrenders to the imperial court, he will enjoy the emperor's edict, glory, wealth, and everything else.
Just because my Wei family had a relationship with the Yubing Sect in the past, I had no choice but to represent my family and join the Yubing Sect. On the surface, I was a guest, but in fact, I was the eagle dog of Li Jiyin.
Li Jiyin just wanted to humiliate me, but this time, he actually wanted to marry my miserable niece to his nephew Leng Youxu as his concubine.
I don’t regret becoming an accomplice in killing Li Jiyin. I only regret... that I couldn’t be more cautious.”
Zhou Yi, who transformed into Taoist Ye, looked down from a high position and asked: "We have a Taoist fate? How do you say this?"
Wei Yecheng said: "To be honest, more than a hundred years ago, my ancestor was just the son of a fruit farmer.
One day, I was greedy and ate an orange. After peeling it open, I found two old men sitting in the orange.
An old man said that the fun in the oranges was not inferior to the ghost market in Bailefang, Chang'an. The other old man said that he was a little tired of eating and wanted to swim in Beihai to rinse his mouth.
Then they took out straw ropes from their sleeves, threw them in the air, turned into flying swords, and flew away with the swords, disappearing without a trace.
The ancestor of the family just thought of meeting an immortal and ate the orange.
A few years later, the ancestor of the family gained the sense of Qi. From then on, his martial arts progressed rapidly, he repeatedly defeated powerful enemies, broke through Guanhun, became famous in the world, and became a generation of heroes. He also developed the Wei family into a famous martial arts family on Jiannan Road.
A few years after the death of the family ancestor, the imperial army sent envoys to visit and tell us about the events of that year. They also named my Wei family a Taoyuan family, but they had to serve the imperial army in the world, and they could not be known by ordinary people.
"
Zhou Yi generally understood.
The so-called Daoyuan family is probably the seventy-two sects of sects developed in the mortal world.
The karma of the predecessors requires future generations to repay the favor generation after generation.
Like Wei Yecheng, even if his cultivation has reached the state of soul contemplation, because he comes from a Taoyuan family and becomes a guest official on the surface, in fact, he is still driven by the elders of the family.
The only difference between a strong man and a ghost servant is his status.
And Wei Youniang is the next generation of the Wei family, who will soon be driven by the Yubing Sect to live under her family.
But because of Li Jiyin's words, she became Leng Youxu's concubine.
Not even the last bit of dignity could be preserved.
No wonder Wei Yecheng lost his mind.
Zhou Yi said calmly: "You came to me, do you want to ask what happened to Li Jiyin?"
Wei Ye grew up and bowed to the end: "Yes, please let Master Cheng Huang make it clear."
Zhou Yi raised his head and said: "Li Jiyin has committed a serious crime and will be tortured in the underworld. After his memory of this life is wiped away, he will be reincarnated again. No one from the Yubing Sect will ever see him again."
A hint of surprise appeared on Wei Yecheng's face, but then he frowned: "To be honest with you, Lord City God, if what I have predicted is correct, the bad commander Leng Youxu has already informed the military guards of Li Jiyin's death through a secret method. I think it won't be long before he comes,
The Imperial Soldiers will come to your temple to beg for help, I’m afraid that by then..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt cold looks from the male and female statues on the left and right sides.
Zhou Yi waved his hand, indicating that Wu Chang and the judge, who were hidden in the clay sculpture, did not need to worry about it.
"Even if your leader comes in person, I, Guangyuan County, will not let him go.
The city god doesn't care about the affairs of the living people in the world of mortals, and no living person in the earthly world can even think of interfering with my laws in the underworld.
No matter if he is from the Seventy-two Techniques or the Heavenly Master."
Wei Yecheng was secretly shocked.
The City God in front of me spoke so arrogantly that he didn't even pay attention to the Celestial Master Dao.
But he didn't feel there were too many surprises in his heart.
After all, this is Guangyuan County, which is full of weird things.
An expert hacked at Funiu Mountain at night.
There is a mountain god chasing the soul energy elder.
There is a mysterious warrior who masters the art of controlling soldiers.
There is another City God who disdains the Zhongtu Shudao sect...it doesn't seem to be something incomprehensible.
"After this matter is over, if your Wei family can regain control of the bad guys in the county.
It’s time to change the contract between Guangyuan Underworld and bad people."
After saying that, Zhou Yi suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed Wei Yecheng out of the air.
Wei Yecheng was shocked all over.
The sound of prayers from the believers in the Chenghuang Temple filled the air again.
He opened his eyes and found that he was still in the City God's Temple, but it was different from the empty one before, instead it was full of people.
After a long time, Wei Yecheng finally came back to his senses.
"That was...an illusion just now?
It's such a powerful illusion that I, a great soul-watching martial artist, didn't notice it at all... I wonder if it can compare to the immortal illusion in the Celestial Master's Tao?"
Wei Yecheng secretly smacked his tongue.
Although he had received a promise from the City God, he was still unsure.
The Imperial Soldier Sect also has an "elegant name" among the seventy-two sects - the Flying Sword Sect.
His ability to kill demons is comparable to that of the ancient swordsman. He ranks among the top three in the Zhongdao Sect and is regarded as his right-hand man by Tianshi Dao.
Although Li Jiyin is strong, he has only just entered the soul energy, and is far inferior to the faction leader and the great elder.
Moreover, these two are both very good martial arts masters.
What's more, there is such a big backer as Tianshi Dao behind him.
"There are less than four days left before Elder Li's first seven days... we can only take one step at a time."
Wei Yecheng sighed, bowed several times to the statue of the City God, turned around and walked out of the City God's Temple.
Compared with a few days ago, the old street in Wangnanfang was obviously much more lively.
It was just early in the morning and the streets were already crowded.
Small traders and hawkers shouted loudly.
There were sellers of candied haws, roasted haggis soup, people placing incense candlesticks, people copying prayers and blessings, and even two funeral workers competing in dirges... At this time, among the crowd, a man dressed in plain white floated
Skirt.
Wei Yecheng also saw the graceful lady standing in front of the City God's Temple, and his expression changed.
The visitor is none other than someone else.
It was exactly three nights ago that he first pursued himself and Li Jiyin, and then joined forces with himself to help the man in green robe kill Li Jiyin's mountain god empress!
What is she here to do?
Yes, the popularity of the Chenghuang Temple has increased greatly. As a mountain god, could she be unhappy?
Very possible.
But if she had to deal with the City God, who was surrounded by enemies from both sides and couldn't resist, what should she do?
Wei Yecheng quietly clenched his fists.
Three days ago, he was still a potential ally.
Three days later, they were already in different camps.
Things in the world are constantly changing, like a dog in a white cloud.
At this time, the mountain god Xiao Qingsu also saw Wei Yecheng.
With her eyebrows slightly raised, she understood everything. A playful smile appeared on her beautiful porcelain white jade face, and she raised her white jade finger towards Wei Yecheng: "Come here."
Wei Yecheng gritted his teeth.
But the next moment, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
I saw another person appear among the bustling crowd.
The monk with bald head, hemp shoes and snow-white robes showed a gentle smile in the morning light of the busy city and was waving to the Mountain Goddess.
That was a young monk.
A little too handsome.
The Mountain Goddess was a little surprised when she saw the monk, and then she bowed and saluted.
The monk seemed to have said something to the mountain god.
The Mountain Goddess looked hesitant, but still followed the monk and left the Chenghuang Temple.
"That monk... actually persuaded the Mountain Goddess to leave?"
Wei Yecheng stared blankly at the round, bald head walking on the long street, which made the vendors, men, women, and children look at him.
He couldn't help but recall what the land described that night, the truth about the mountain temple——
...It was a young eminent monk who actually cut down mountains and destroyed temples, split open Funiu Mountain, and changed the title of mountain god.
It was these words that made Li Jiyin furious, and he vented all his anger on the poor land.
But Wei Yecheng was also doubtful at that time.
After all, monks are almost extinct in China nowadays.
"Could it be that that person just now is..."
Wei Yecheng was filled with shock and doubt.
After a while, he looked up at the sky and murmured: "God bless me, my Wei family can survive this disaster."
