Maoshan Taoist priests practice falsehood and become reality

Chapter 125 Road to the Underworld

"Now...what is the situation now?"

Lin Caibin couldn't help swallowing and asked.

To say it is a natural phenomenon would be too coincidental. If it is true that a god has come, there is no sign of the god.

This feeling of being both true and false is really annoying.

No one answered Lin Caibin.

After all, the three Maoshan brothers have been cultivating Taoism for many years, and this is the first time they have encountered this kind of situation.

Yuan Jingshu was clever and said quickly: "Good sign, good sign! City God Temple, everything will go smoothly next."

"is it?"

However, Lin Caibin had no time to think about the future. He just wanted to know whether the City God had really arrived.

Wang Zhiyuan was equally curious: "It should be almost done, right?"

"How about going in and taking a look?" Yuan Jinghong agreed.

Seeing that no one dared to open the door, Wang Zhiyuan shouted at the top of his lungs: "Su Heng, are you okay?"

"The door is not closed. Come in."

As soon as the door opened, Lin Caibin felt the wind blowing past his face and couldn't help but shiver.

Looking closely, there was only Taoist priest Xuan Heng in the main hall who was religiously offering incense and enshrining the statue of the City God.

To the naked eye, there was nothing unusual. But it just feels like something is wrong!

If I had to describe it, it was like there were several pairs of invisible eyes looking at me up and down.

Lin Caibin unconsciously slowed down, walked behind the three of them, and bravely asked:

"Taoist Master Xuanheng, have you invited the City God?"

"Of course, you see, the old man Cheng Huang is not here."

Su Heng turned sideways slightly, as if making way for the City God. However, several people's eyes almost popped out, and they didn't even see the City God.

"Where are you looking?"

Su Heng signaled everyone to raise their gazes. The statue of the City God was sitting upright, calm and powerful.

It turned out to be a statue of a god!

Wang Zhiyuan shook his head slightly and lamented that it was scary, scary to death. A lot of age, old and confused.

There were actually a few moments where it felt like the apprentice had really recruited the City God.

Presumably those visions were all coincidences.

"My nephew, just when you were reciting the mantra, a mountain-sized cloud suddenly came from the sky, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, but leaving a gap, which happened to allow the sun to shine directly into the main hall. For a moment, we thought that the City God was really Appeared. Hahaha..."

"No wonder you guys look a little nervous."

"you do not say!"

After chatting for a while, seeing that it was almost dinner time, Lin Caibin suggested that we go to a nearby restaurant to have dinner, and then slowly talk about the ribbon-cutting of the City God Temple tomorrow.

Several people went out and noticed that Su Heng did not follow them. Lin Caibin said doubtfully:

"Taoist Master Xuanheng?"

"Oh, you go first. I'll finish packing my things and arrive later."

Lin Caibin was just about to say that he would wait for the Taoist priest to join him, but unexpectedly, there was a cool breeze blowing outside the door. He shivered, and when he saw Su Heng looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile, he felt furious in his heart:

"Okay, Jiu Ge Nongjiaxiang, private room on the third floor. I'll go over first. What does the Taoist like to eat on weekdays?"

"random."

After being polite, Lin Caibin ran away as if running away.

Everyone left.

In the Chenghuang Temple, all the statues came to life, and every word you said to me came to life.

The civil judge wore a black gauze hat, an official robe, and a long beard. He was gentle and comely, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. He commented lightly:

"This is turbid vision. Even if a true god comes, the world cannot see it."

Judge Wu wore official robes, but had a blue face and a red beard. He held a judge pen in his hand and grinned:

"That merchant owes a lot of romantic debts. If he enters the underworld, he will probably end up in a frying pan."

The two gusts of wind that Lin Caibin felt just now were caused by the Japanese wandering god who went out for a cruise and then returned. The God of Sun Tour is the god who is responsible for traveling around during the day to monitor the good and evil in the world. He is dressed as a jailor, with his hair disheveled, and holds a wooden sign with the word "Sun Tour" written on it.

Nikki Yugami muttered and complained:

"What kind of world is this, full of lonely souls and wild ghosts?"

Ba Zaoli's expression changed slightly after hearing what Riyoushen said.

Zaoli is the ghost servant of the City God's Temple. He is responsible for hunting down ghosts, assisting in rewarding good and punishing evil, seducing ghosts and executing executions.

There are lonely ghosts everywhere, which means there is a huge workload, and it is normal to worry.

Su Heng watched and listened, thinking that it was good that ordinary people could not see the gods, otherwise this scene might scare a few people into heart attacks.

When I first arrived, all the ghosts and gods were talking to each other, and it was very lively. Only the city god wearing an official hat and official robe sat on the high platform, frowning and silent.

After a long time, He finally spoke:

"It's strange, why is there no underworld here?"

In myths and legends, the underworld is the place that controls the life and death of all living things, which is often called the underworld.

After death, the souls of all things in the world will be taken to the underworld by ghosts, and all their good and evil deeds in the Yang world will end here.

As the saying goes, the living are in the Yang world and the dead are in the underworld. There is a world in the Yang world and a world in the underworld.

Judge Wen was slightly surprised after hearing this: "There is no underworld? Doesn't it mean that there are no five reincarnations?"

Judge Wu frowned: "If there is no hell, wouldn't it be impossible to send that merchant to the frying pan?"

The god of day travel suddenly realized: "No wonder there are lonely ghosts everywhere. It turns out that they are missing from the underworld! Ghosts have nowhere to go, so they naturally stay in the underworld."

Su Heng couldn't help but ask: "There is no underworld, is it serious?"

"of course!"

Bazaoli explained that they were all ghost messengers, and they would send the ghosts to the underworld after they took them. Without the underworld, work would naturally not be possible.

"Don't panic, everyone. Maybe it's just that the road to Huangquan can't be found." The City God looked at Su Heng, "This matter has to do with Taoist priest."

Ah, wait.

Su Heng felt that the process was wrong. He went through a lot of hard work and finally recruited the City God. As soon as they met, he appointed himself to find Huangquan Road.

Besides, even the City God couldn't be found on this Huangquan Road, so what could he do?

"Taoist Priest, this matter belongs to you."

The City God explained that they did not come from their own deities and could manifest themselves in this world, but they all relied on Su Heng's magic power.

If Su Heng cannot provide mana regularly, the clone will dissipate on its own soon.

To put it simply, Su Heng's current level of cultivation is too low. Not only is the City God unable to use various magical powers, even the underworld cannot sense it.

Does this mean you blame me?

The city god acquiesced.

"Ugh."

Unexpectedly, Su Heng felt a little discouraged for a moment.

He thought that once the City God's Temple was built, it would directly destroy the heaven and earth, but in the end, it was limited by his cultivation.

"Why are you so worried, Taoist Priest? With all your merits and special promotion, won't it be easy to find your way to hell?"

Judge Wen expressed his confusion. In his eyes, Su Heng's merits far exceeded his current level.

"Exceptional promotion?"

Judge Wen nodded:

"Those who are promoted must be promoted based on their merits and deeds. If you have no merit, you will not be promoted. If you have extraordinary merit, you can be promoted as an exception. Didn't your honorable master tell you?"

Wang Zhiyuan really never mentioned the promotion.

The main reason is that Su Heng was tortured not long ago. It is unreasonable to propose promotion in such a short period of time.

"It's simple. The Taoist Master can't speak, so we'll do it for you."

After all, for them, such things as seducing souls and entrusting dreams are not something they can easily do.

Su Heng: "Huh?"
