Li Muhan felt that this was a bit too much, so he slowly carried Xia Yue away from him, and then said to the woman: "Forget it, forget it, since it's a misunderstanding, there's no need to be like this. We are new here and don't know the rules."

Seeing that Li Muhan was so reasonable, the ghost didn't say much.

He took Li Muhan and continued walking towards the City God Temple.

“Why can’t I eat…”

On the way, Xia Yue was still muttering in dissatisfaction.

"If you really eat it...you will never be able to leave this hell."

Li Muhan had just learned from the ghost that as long as their life span was not over, they must not eat food from the underworld, otherwise even the gods could not save them.

At this moment, a figure suddenly bumped into Li Muhan.

Then Li Muhan smelled alcohol.

"Fuck, it stinks."

Li Muhan took a step back, pinched his nose, and then saw that the person who bumped into him fell to the ground.

"Haha, hahahahahahaha, good wine, good wine, give me another pot."

The man was wearing a white gown and looked handsome, but his hair was messy and he reeked of alcohol.

He was carrying a long black sword on his back, and looked like an ancient swordsman that would appear in a TV show.

But now this man was lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, drunk and mad, making Li Muhan feel completely unable to see the feeling of a knight.

"It's that damn drunkard again! Go away!"

The ghost seemed to know this man. He kicked the man twice, and the man looked at the ghost with dissatisfaction.

"How dare you disturb my sweet dream!"

"Get out of here right now! This is the City God's distinguished guest! If you say anything more, I will immediately notify the Soul Catcher and have your soul shattered!"

The man was not threatened by the ghost at all. He just slowly got up from the ground and looked at Li Muhan with a swaying body.

"Well, well, okay, the City God's distinguished guest... Well! Okay..." He took another sip of wine, then moved closer and looked at Li Muhan carefully.

"Haha, hahaha, it looks like it's you..."

"Drunkard! Are you done yet?" The ghost kicked the man in white away.

"Good, good! I have a hidden dragon in my body and ask the heavens, I point my sword to the sky with a firm will, I use my sword to break the dawn and start the east wind, and all the demons will be scattered in the world."

The man took another sip of wine, then turned and walked to the other end of the street, but his voice was still echoing in Li Muhan's ears.

“One day, the sword will shine, severing illusions and breaking the vastness, reshaping the glory of the sun and the moon, and renewing the heaven and earth, making everything prosperous. Hahahahaha, hahahahaha.”

Chapter 671 Widow

When I looked up again.

The man in white had disappeared without a trace, and Li Muhan suddenly felt that he was holding something in his hand.

He raised his hand and looked.

Wow, that turned out to be a dirty iron sword.

"Master Taoist, why did you pull out the sword?" The ghost looked back and found Li Muhan holding the iron sword with a puzzled look on his face. He couldn't help but take a step back and asked.

"I'm a hen."

Li Muhan carefully observed the iron sword and found that there was a sword tassel hanging on the hilt of the iron sword. There was a small iron plate on the tassel, and the word "female" was engraved on the plate.

He wanted to throw the sword away, but the sword seemed to have its own will and circled in the air several times every time it slipped out of his hand before flying back into Li Muhan's hand.

This made Li Muhan feel extremely weird.

This female sword is still sticking to me?

He turned around and wanted to complain to Xia Yue, but he saw that Xia Yue also had a sword on her back, and this sword was even longer than the iron sword in Li Muhan's hand.

You know what, Xia Yue, wearing a Taoist robe and carrying this long sword, really looks like a Taoist.

"Hey, you got an extra sword, let me see it."

Li Muhan raised his hand and pulled out the long sword from Xia Yue's back, and the girl only then realized that she had been carrying the sword on her back.

"How amazing! Li Muhan, can you perform magic?"

She clapped her hands and moved closer to Li Muhan. At this moment, Li Muhan discovered that there was also a sword tassel hanging on the hilt of the sword.

There is a word engraved on it: "Hero."

"Oh, it's the opposite!"

Li Muhan handed the female sword to Xia Yue in a rage.

Then he found that there was an extra scabbard behind him. Although he didn't know the origin of these two swords, it never hurt to have an extra weapon in a place like this.

Maybe it was a gift from Xie Chengtian.

But just as Li Muhan put the sword back into the scabbard and just let go of the hilt, the sword actually flew out of the scabbard and then flew back into the scabbard behind Xia Yue.

The female sword in Xia Yue's hand suddenly broke free from Xia Yue's hand and flew back into the scabbard behind Li Muhan.

"My passionate horse! Are you blind? I am the male! She is the female!"

Li Muhan pointed at the sword behind Xia Yue and cursed.

Xia Yue wanted to turn her head to look at the sword. She seemed to have never experienced the feeling of carrying a weapon on her back, but her neck could not be turned, so she could only turn around in place.

"Li Muhan, is this thing dangerous?"

"I can't come... maybe it was sent by Xie Chengtian."

But the next second, the ghost's words dispelled Li Muhan's thoughts.

"Oh my, you are so good at flying a sword, but let's hurry up. The City God will be waiting anxiously, and we won't be able to report to him."

Since the other party said so, Li Muhan no longer bothered about the two swords.

What's more, the scabbards of the two swords seemed to be stuck to his Taoist robe and could not be pulled off no matter how hard he tried.

Xia Yue felt very happy.

I've been playing with that long sword all the way.

"Come."

Swah——

The long sword was unsheathed and slowly stood in front of Xia Yue.

"Wooah! Good, fun! Voice-controlled! Spin in circles~"

The long sword kept circling around Xia Yue.

Li Muhan looked back at Xia Yue who was having a lot of fun, sighed and said in a low voice.

"Alas, that's the thing about taking care of children. They are brainless and just need to play, but I have a lot more things to think about."

Xia Yue didn’t know what Li Muhan was saying, but she understood the three words “brainless”.

"Go stab him in the ass."

whoosh-

The long sword immediately flew towards Li Muhan's butt.

"Oh my god! It hurts!"

Fortunately, both swords were very broken and the edges were almost worn out.

When the tip of the sword poked Li Muhan's butt, it only made him feel a burst of pain, but it didn't really...go in.

The ghost was walking in front, his face expressionless.

He had been a gatekeeper for hundreds of years, but this was the first time he had seen such souls. Both of them looked like they were suffering from some serious illness.

But those two swords...the ghost still turned his head slightly to glance at the long sword that was still hovering around the girl.

That sword looks a little familiar...but I can't sense any aura from it at all, which is really weird.

When you walk to the foot of the mountain, an ancient building built against the mountain suddenly appears, and on the plaque of this ancient building are three big characters "City God Temple".

"We're here, you two."

The ghost officer politely made a gesture of invitation to the two men, and then sent them to the gate of the City God Temple.

"These two are Mr. Xie's distinguished guests."

The ghost said to the two officers guarding the gate.

"Inform immediately."

An officer waved his hand and said, "No need. Master Xie has already told us that if you two come, we can just bring you in."

Then the officer holding the machete stepped aside.

Another officer took the two to the inner hall.

"I will take you here, you two. I hope you will have an unforgettable experience in Luofu Mountain."

The ghost smiled, rubbed his hands, then turned and left.

I have to say that this City God Temple is quite grand. As soon as you enter the door, you will see a spacious lobby with a huge portrait of the City God hanging in the middle. The City God in the portrait is dressed in white, holding a magical instrument, with an extremely handsome appearance, and a pair of eyes that seem to be able to see through people's hearts.

Isn’t this the Xie Chengtian that Li Muhan had met before?

On both sides of the lobby are tall red pillars carved with golden dragon patterns, which look solemn and dignified.

Two long rows of tables were filled with offerings, including fruits, incense sticks, and some small statues used for sacrifices.

The smoke of cigarettes rose up and filled the entire lobby, making the air permeate with a faint scent of sandalwood.

Through the lobby is a deep corridor.

Both sides of the corridor are hung with various plaques engraved with inscriptions and words of praise from famous people of all ages. These may have been added later, perhaps due to Xie Chengtian’s personal preference.

At the end of the corridor is a small courtyard.

There is an ancient well in the courtyard. According to the officer, this is a well that suppresses evil spirits. The water in the well is clear and you can see the bottom, but it gives off an inexplicable chill that makes people dare not approach.

"If there are any evil spirits that refuse to change, the City God will suppress them in this Soul-Calming Well for a day or two. Even the most heinous people will become obedient after coming out."

The officer said to the two men with a smile, and then led them deeper until they arrived at the door of the inner hall.

"This is where the City God handles official business. I'll take you there, both of you. Please go in directly."

Looking at the officer's back as he left, Li Muhan scratched his head.

"Well, I heard from Yang Er that the Heavenly Palace is gradually becoming modernized, but it seems that the Underworld still hasn't kept up with the times."

“Not all change is good, and change doesn’t have to be superficial.”

A voice suddenly came from the door of the inner hall.

Li Muhan quickly covered his mouth.

Then he and Xia Yue looked at each other, and slowly pushed open the wooden door.

I saw that the interior of the hall was simply decorated, with several rows of bookshelves neatly placed around it. The whole room was dimly lit, without any noise, and everything seemed so peaceful and mysterious.

In the center of the inner hall against the wall was a desk. Behind the desk, Xie Chengtian, dressed in white, was reviewing official documents with a brush in his hand.

"I am extremely sorry, benefactor, please wait a moment."

Xie Chengtian didn't raise his head, but concentrated on correcting the documents, and Li Muhan didn't disturb him.

After he and Xia Yue walked into the inner hall, they found a chair to sit down on, and then began to look around at everything here.

"It's really simple, completely different from the layout outside."

There was a soothing smell of sandalwood in the room. Apart from bookshelves, desks, and piles of files, there were not even some decorative vases in the room.

It can be said to be so simple that it is a bit shabby.

"The layout of the outer hall is mainly for external use, so it can't be too shabby. Xie has disliked those superfluous things since he was a child. Only simplicity and clarity can make me feel at ease."

Xie Chengtian replied as if he had read Li Muhan’s thoughts.
