My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 523 City God

Three days later, at the City God Temple on the hillside of Qiluo Mountain, Chen Mu stood at the entrance of the main hall and looked around the entire temple courtyard.

The ground in front of the door is neatly paved with bluestone slabs, and a three-legged, two-eared copper incense burner is the first thing that catches your eye.

Three or five pine and cypress trees stand on both sides of the courtyard, behind each of which is a moon gate, leading to two small courtyards on the left and right.

Chen Mu had already explored the area yesterday. The rooms in the courtyard were fully equipped with all kinds of furniture, but there was no sign of human habitation.

Glancing left and right, then looking up at the cloudless sky, Chen Mu walked around the incense burner and went straight to the gate.

Under the gate tower, there stood an armored general on each side, one holding a stick and the other holding a mace, with dignified faces.

Looking out through the open door, there were no steps or stone roads nearby, nor were there white clouds or green mountains in the distance. Instead, there was only fog.

Chen Mu skillfully mobilized the power of the Yin spirit and sent it into the statue of the armored general.

The next moment, white mist surged, and a huge translucent curved water curtain appeared in the air outside the door.

The light and shadow images on it kept changing, and a City God Temple exactly the same as the one behind it appeared on the water curtain.

The difference is that the City God Temple in the picture is bustling with people coming and going. Men, women, old and young, dressed in different clothes, line up to walk into the main hall to burn incense and kowtow, which is very lively.

Moreover, as his Yin Ling divine power moved, the picture kept changing, allowing him to observe the entire temple from all directions without blind spots. Even the surrounding green mountains and the county town at the foot of the mountain could be roughly viewed by adjusting the distance of the picture.

Moreover, as the picture changed, the various noisy sounds also changed, making him feel as if he was actually there.

"Interesting..." Chen Mu adjusted the screen and watched it with interest.

"It's a pity that I can't get out of this temple." After a while, Chen Mu fixed the content of the water curtain to the bird's-eye view of the City God Temple, and then sat on the doorstep with his legs half crossed. While collecting information through the water curtain in front of him, he thought about his situation and shook his head and sighed.

What was displayed on the water curtain was the real scenery inside the City God Temple of Luandu County, and the temple he was currently in was a small cave paradise created using a miniature of a thousand-mile household.

Through observation over the past few days, Chen Mu has basically confirmed that this small cave is hidden inside the statue of the City God Temple in Luandu County.

He tried many times, but no matter whether he flew into the sky or hid underground, he could not escape from the small cave of the statue.

There is a forbidden barrier around it that is similar to the cave in Qiandeng City. The boundary seems to be right in front of you, but in fact, you can never touch the edge.

"Do you really want to guard this City God Temple for a hundred years?"

Chen Mu couldn't help scratching his head whenever he thought about the boring life in prison in the future.

"No wonder no one wants to do the work of a living god."

Before, at the gate of hell at the Naihe Bridge, he was pulled away from Le Dian by a special force and came to the City God Temple of Qiluo Mountain in Luandu County in a daze.

The temple here was newly built, and there was no living god stationed inside the statue. He came here with the Deity Contract. Even though most of the aura in the contract was concealed, it was still discovered by the temple's restrictions, and was forcibly pulled into the statue to become a living god.

"Where do those seven pulling forces come from?"

"Was it that Qian Huan who did this?"

"Is it that Cyber ​​Mengpo causing trouble?" Chen Mu frowned and thought hard.

He always thought of the look that Lord Meng cast at him before he left the underworld.

"Did you find out that I know the secret of the origin of the Yin spirits? So you trapped me here on purpose?"

"Or was it simply that his method of using a substitute for a dead body was exposed, and he was punished to guard the City God Temple for a hundred years?"

"I can't figure it out..." He has been recalling his previous experiences for the past three days, hoping to find some clues, but unfortunately he has never succeeded.

"I don't know exactly where Luandu County is. Although there is spiritual energy in the land, it is quite thin and cannot support Qi training and cultivation at all."

"If I really have to wait a hundred years to get away from the statue and then look for the earth spirit energy to condense the divine orifice, it will be too late." Chen Mu couldn't help but shook his head: "I can only try to see if the scripture in the main hall is useful."

……

The statue cave and the main hall of the City God.

A jade statue of a god in wide robe, big sleeves, tall hat and wide belt was sitting in the middle of the hall. Its facial features were about 50% similar to Chen Mu's, and its expression was solemn and majestic.

There is a long incense table in front of the statue, with a copper incense burner placed in the middle. There is nothing in the incense burner, but there is a constant stream of green smoke.

A faint fragrance filled the air. Just by sniffing it, Chen Mu felt refreshed. His slightly depressed mood quickly became peaceful and calm. "You really put a lot of effort into making the living god feel at ease in prison."

"The hall is equipped with special incense that can calm the mind and regulate the heart, and a full-range home theater is arranged at the entrance. Wow! Interesting..." Chen Mu thought happily and turned to look at both sides of the hall.

Eight stone tablets, each one person tall, are placed on both sides of the hall, with a mysterious scripture engraved on them.

In the past few days, he has carefully compared the two City God Temples inside and outside through the water curtain in front of the door.

The courtyard layout, house structure, placement of tables and chairs, etc. are all exactly the same, except for the scriptures on the stone tablet in the main hall.

The stone tablet in the outside world is engraved with excerpts from the "Root Sutra", but the stone tablet in the statue cave is engraved with "The Key to the Lingbao".

The Root Sutra is a widely circulated scripture, which he had seen in Daliang, a remote borderland, and earned a lot of copper coins by copying it. However, he had never heard of or seen the Lingbao Shuji Pian.

"I'm afraid there are some mines buried here." Chen Mu stood in front of the stone tablet, hesitant.

He himself had created the Dongji Changsheng Sutra, which allowed people to guide the spirits of the devil, so he was quite wary of these scriptures of unknown origin.

"Forget it, let's give it a try. I don't want to go to jail for a hundred years."

He guessed that this scripture should be the standard for all living gods, and even if there were any problems, they should not be serious.

Moreover, he did not do nothing during these three days. Although he did not dare to recite the entire text, he had pondered most of the scriptures on the first stone tablet.

Although no new entries appeared on the gray wall, some vague feedback was given, but Chen Mu did not sense any danger from it.

"Practice."

……

Half a month later, the statue appeared in the cave.

On the east side of the City God Temple courtyard, there is a round stone table under two cypress trees, with a brand new rocking chair next to it. At this moment, Chen Mu is lying in it.

His lips moved, and waves of rhythmic chanting surrounded him.

After a long while, Chen Mu raised his eyebrows and suddenly opened his eyes.

A grey wall appeared before my eyes and a new entry appeared.

  Lingbao Cardinal Chapter: 2/10000/First Level;

A series of insights emerged in his mind, and a look of joy flashed across Chen Mu's face.

"It's done!"

As he thought about it, the Yin spirit's divine power vibrated along a specific trajectory, and the whole person suddenly fell backwards. His breath instantly became calm and weak, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

At the same time, Chen Mu suddenly appeared in the main hall of the City God Temple in Luandu County.

At this moment, he was wearing a loose gray robe, with no hair on his head. Two silver lines between his eyebrows were shining brightly, and his face looked like a teenager of seventeen or eighteen.

"Can the Lingbao Cardinal Chapter allow the Heavenly Demon's true body to escape from the Divine Statue Cave?" Chen Mu was overjoyed.

"No, that's not right. It should be just a projection that can only allow the mind to roam around."

He noticed that the people burning incense and kowtowing in the temple had no reaction to his appearance.

Some people even passed through his body directly, as if he was just an invisible piece of light and shadow.

"What's this? Are you afraid that the gods in the world will be bored and lonely, so you specially allow the gods' thoughts to come out and relax?"

"Why does it feel like being a living god is more and more like being in prison?" Chen Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Forget it. It's better than being trapped to death in the statue. At least this will open a crack in the statue's restraints."

"If I can master the Lingbao Cardinal Chapter deeply enough, I may be able to completely escape from the Divine Statue Cave Heaven." Chen Mu looked at the new entry on the gray wall in front of him with confidence.

"I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's go to Luandu County at the foot of the mountain first."
