Chapter 60 Wei City City God.

This underworld can't be just a ghost, right? Li Yanchu smiled and said: "I have seen Zunshen, I left in a hurry last time, and I always feel regretful next time."

The ghost messenger saluted and said: "Fellow Daoist, don't blame it. Today, Fellow Daoist Yuanshen is like a scorching sun, with the aura of pure yang, and I don't dare to look directly at you. I think the day trip of Yuanshen, Fellow Daoist, is just around the corner."

Li Yanchu had a warm smile on his face, and when he was not doing anything, he was gentle and courteous, and he couldn't find a single fault: "God is polite."

"Fellow Daoist is here late at night, seems to be looking for me specifically?" asked the ghost messenger.

"That's right." Li Yanchu smiled and said, "This time I'm asking about the reincarnation of the Yin Division. It's just that some evil spirits in the local area use blood-stained copper coins to absorb the three souls and seven souls of living people. I want to ask if the god knows about this?"

The ghost said, "I've never heard of this before."

"This evil spirit's behavior can be regarded as disturbing the order of yin and yang. I would like to ask the gods to investigate, or report back to the superior to find this evil spirit." Li Yanchu said slowly.

The ghost messenger pondered for a moment, as if he was weighing the pros and cons, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is of great importance, and only a little ghost messenger can make the decision."

"I can lead fellow Taoists to the Temple of the City God to meet the Lord City God, maybe the Lord City God can know the whole story of this matter."

City God Li Yanchu clasped his fists and said: "If so, I would like to thank the god."

The ghost messenger replied, "Fellow Taoist, follow me."

According to the myths and legends of Qian Kingdom, the local city god is in charge of civil and military judges, ghost messengers and so on.

However, folklore is plentiful and its origins are complex.

The boss of the City God is said to belong to Yama of the Ten Temples, or to Emperor Dongyue or Lord Taishan.

Li Yanchu followed the ghost messenger and drifted towards the Town God's Temple in Weicheng.

He hadn't seen any mythical characters in this world yet.

The Town God's Temple in Weicheng is located in Dongcheng.

The incense in the Town God's Temple has always been good, but the Tsing Yi Empress Temple in Weicheng is the only one, and more people worship the Tsing Yi Empress.

This is also a very interesting thing.

There are so many Taoist Buddhist temples and temples of heavenly gods, but they are not as good as a Tsing Yi empress who does not exist in traditional mythology.

Li Yanchu came to the Town God's Temple, looked up at the plaque on the gate of the main hall, and hung the four characters "Protecting the Border and Safeguarding the People".

In the main hall of the hall, sits the statue of Wei Chenghuang, a middle-aged official in his 50s, with a seventh-rank official uniform embroidered with quail, standing tall.

Looking down.

"Fellow Taoist wait here for a while, and I will report to the City God next time, please show your sanctity, and report this matter." Guichai Jiang said.

"Okay, thank you God." Li Yanchu clasped his fists and said.

Jiang Tong, a middle-aged ghost, carrying a gong in his hand, led a group of pale-faced lonely ghosts into the Town God's Temple.

The figure gradually disappeared.

After about half a moment.

The ghost messenger Jiang Tong came out of the Temple of the City God again, and said: "Master City God has come to the temple, please invite fellow Taoists to enter."

Li Yanchu said: "Thank you."

He followed Jiang Tong into the Temple of the City God.

The idol slowly revived, and the voice was dignified: "Who is here?"

Li Yanchu said: "I'm Li Yanchu, there is blood money in Weicheng, absorbing the souls of living people, so I come here here, and ask Lord Chenghuang to help and trace the origin of the blood money."

The statue said majestically: "Jiang Tong has reported this matter to the official, and the official has searched the files of the Yin Division and found the evil spirit behind the scenes."

Li Yanchu's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Your Excellency, have you found out the origin of the blood money?"

"Exactly." The voice of the City God Statue was grand and solemn, and continued: "Do you know Empress Tsing Yi?"

"Is this related to Empress Tsing Yi?" Li Yanchu asked.

The statue of the city god said: "Niang Niang in Tsing Yi was originally a kind person who accumulated virtue and did good deeds, gathered people's incense and incense, and became a temple god, but now she has fallen into the devil's way."

"The matter of injustice and blood money was done by Empress Tsing Yi, in order to absorb the three souls and seven souls of living people."

Li Yanchu frowned and said: "Such behavior is hurting the peace of heaven. I also ask Lord Chenghuang to take action and kill the evil spirits."

The statue of the city god said slowly: "The Tsing Yi empress has enjoyed the incense of the common people for many years. For some reason, this official cannot take action to suppress it."

"Then how should we deal with this matter?" Li Yanchu asked.

"To demolish the Tsing Yi Temple and smash the statue of the Tsing Yi Empress will weaken the strength of the Tsing Yi Empress and break the dharma body condensed by the power of incense."

"At that time, the official will lead ghost messengers to arrest him, and this disaster will be eliminated."

The City God Statue said slowly.

Li Yanchu frowned: "The Tsingyi Empress Temple is a temple worshiped by the people of Weicheng, and this matter is the Tsingyi Temple Fair. If it breaks the statues and demolishes the temple, it may be very difficult to do."

The statue of the city god continued: "The disaster of blood money will only intensify. By then, the people of Wei City will probably suffer from it. We must not slack off on this matter."

Li Yanchu was silent.

The statue of the city god said: "I have already told you the history of this matter, and I will also tell you how to solve this disaster. Save the people from the fire and water, and you will have immeasurable merits. You should step down now, and don't miss the best time to deal with the empress Qingyi." .”

Li Yanchu nodded, and suddenly said: "There is a family estate outside the city, there are ghosts haunting it, killing countless pedestrians, did the City God know about this?"

The statue of the city god said slowly: "I didn't notice it for a while, and it caused a ghost to cause trouble. I have already known about this matter, and the ghost has already been executed."

Li Yanchu continued: "In the city, the paper piercing man possessed the government to arrest the head, killed the government servants, and the paper piercing man caused many women to disappear. Does the City God know?"

The statue of the city god said angrily: "Are you questioning me?!"

Li Yanchu smiled and said: "Of course I don't dare, it's just that it's rare to see Lord Chenghuang, the Dharma God, and I respect him, so I just told him what happened in Weicheng."

The statue of the city god said: "The most important thing right now is the matter of the blood money you reported. If you handle this matter well, it will be a great merit. For the rest, let's not mention it for now."

Li Yanchu took a deep look at the statue of the city god, and said slowly: "My lord, do you know that someone has killed the entire Five Lakes Clan and used evil methods to make the Clan Leader the leader of the formation."

"Your Excellency, do you know that some people are secretly selling amulets, but they are actually nourishing ghosts with human essence and blood?!"

"My lord, do you know that there is a drowning Taoist female ghost haunting the city?!"

Suddenly there was a strong wind in the temple, and the dust was flying.

"presumptuous!"

"You, a cultivator, are insinuating that the supervision of the official is not good, and you blame the official for failing!"

The statue of the City God was enraged, shining golden light.

Li Yanchu's eyes were calm, and he smiled lightly: "My lord calm down, I'm just telling the truth and asking my lord."

The voice of the statue of the City God spread throughout the Temple of the City God, solemn and solemn.

"Quickly resolve the Qingyi Temple matter, and I will not pursue your crime of rudeness today!"

"Get back quickly!"

Li Yanchu cupped his fists and said: "Then I will take my leave first."

When his feet were about to step out of the gate of the Town God's Temple, he suddenly turned around.

"Master Chenghuang, I have one last question."

"Since you are the city god and enjoy the fireworks in the world, why don't you dare to look at me!"
