Taoist Master: I have a strange world

Chapter 130 Yaksha destroys the temple, the statue heals itself, and there are inexplicable cries

"Did you hear it tonight?"

"I heard that a man named Zhou Qingtian, who claimed to be the surrogate son-in-law of the Wei family, said that he had become a city god and could protect Linjiang City from evil spirits!"

"My God, Zhou Qing, I saw him beheaded in the market yesterday."

"So you all heard it?"

"I live in the south of the city, and I heard it."

"I live in the north of the city, and I heard it too."

Early in the morning, as the Ming River receded, Linjiang City came to life again.

The people immediately walked out of the door eagerly, asking and comparing each other.

After some comparison, I found that the experiences last night were exactly the same.

In the middle of the night, I heard a voice reciting something like the 'City God Induction Sutra', and said that he had become the City God and would be able to protect Linjiang City in the future, but the people needed to build a City God Temple first.

"No." Mrs. Yin shook her head, with some worry on her face: "This pregnancy has been almost two years, which is far longer than the normal pregnancy time."

The people checked with each other and found that no matter where they lived in the city, they could clearly hear the sound.

Among them, many people went to the vegetable market in person yesterday and saw Zhou Qingtian being beheaded.

City Lord's Mansion.

It is surprisingly the location of the original food market.

"I'm worried right now that the baby in my belly will be a demon fetus."

Li Qing no longer cared about the night affairs at this moment, and he didn't care when he heard the words. He waved his hand directly and asked the soldier to retreat.

This is unprecedented.

"Husband, why should you care whether it is true or not?" Mrs. Yin said, "We can't control this matter at night."

"what?"

The junction of two districts in Linjiang City.

Even if there is an extra city god, nothing will change. Anyway, the curfew is not allowed to go out at night.

"My wife's words directly cleared up my husband's doubts."

"Husband, are you still worried about this matter?"

In the past, there would be ghosts crying and howling at night, but it was often caused by some kind of evil spirit wandering around.

"Yes."

……

Li Qing nodded and said: "The day before, a mysterious being entered the prison at night. It was obviously a living being, but it was guarded by evil spirits in the river."

He frowned and summoned some soldiers to inquire. The furthest ones were the soldiers guarding the city.

In this case, even Li Qing had never heard of it.

"It's done immediately, we don't need to take care of it."

But before the soldier left, he hesitated and said: "City Lord, there are people gathering in the city now to build a City God Temple for Zhou Qingtian."

But last night, all the people heard a voice with clear logic.

Li Qing held Madam Yin's hand and comforted her: "Madam, don't worry. After these few days, I will send a message to the master's door and ask for a magic pill to ensure that our child is not a demon fetus."

His wife's surname is Yin, and she is also called Mrs. Yin.

The solemn look on Li Qing's face disappeared, and he became relaxed. He grabbed his wife's hand and looked at her belly with concern: "Madam, have you had any desire to give birth recently?"

A common man brought a pile of soil and was shaping a clay statue. While doing so, he loudly said:

Therefore, early in the morning, the entire Linjiang City was extremely lively, and all the people in the city were talking about it when they got up.

City Lord Li Qing discovered that everyone in the house was discussing the sound they heard yesterday.

As a result, after asking this question, I found that no matter how far or near I heard this voice, the content was similar.

The couple chatted tenderly for a while, and then a soldier came over to report:

"City Lord, we went to Caishikou and found that Zhou Qingtian's body had mysteriously disappeared. Only the bodies of the Wei family were left there."

As he said that, Li Qing had a look of confusion on his face.

Li Qing had already thought about it and did not give any order to stop it.

Just when Li Qing was struggling to figure out the matter, his wife walked out of the inner palace, her stomach still slightly bulging.

"Yesterday, Zhou Qingtian, who was beheaded during the day, even claimed that he had become a city god and wanted to protect Linjiang City..."

It was very lively here, people gathered, and there were some materials on site.

"Yes, what happened in the past two days is something I have never heard of before."

"Even if there is an extra city god now, it has nothing to do with us."

In Linjiang City in the past, even he didn't dare to go out once night fell.

This is unprecedented.

Li Qing was startled, but when he thought about it, it was really like this.

"I first arrived in Linjiang City ten years ago and received help from Zhou Dashan, and then I slowly established myself in the city."

"After listening to Zhou Dashan's words yesterday, I built a statue for him today as a repayment!"

As soon as these words were said, there were many voices of praise from the people: "A good man, kind and righteous, and must repay kindness."

Some people also loudly echoed: "Yes, I have also received the qualification of Zhou Dashan. Regardless of whether yesterday's voice was true or false, I came to contribute to the Chenghuang Temple today, which can be regarded as repaying Zhou Dashan."

"Me too" "Me too."

One by one, common people came spontaneously and brought bricks and tiles with them.

One brick per person, one tile per person, and soon a City God Temple that was only about the size of a room was built.

In this temple, there is also a clay statue, which is placed in the temple.

Almost as soon as the temple was built, people came to worship it.

"Sir Zhou Dashan, if you really become the City God, I hope you can protect my family from being washed away by the Ming River after your death..."

To the people of Linjiang City, the existence of Mingjiang is no secret.

They knew that if they died in the city, they might sink into the Ming River.

But in the Nanjiang area, even if you go out, there are many ghosts and monsters, which is not as safe as in the city.

As a result, people's ideas are also very simple.

Since a city god came out and said that he could protect the city and protect the ghosts of the people in the city after their death, the people naturally did not hesitate to pay homage to him.

In this way, the newly built Chenghuang Temple became popular almost immediately, with many people coming in to pay their respects.

One after another, many people came over after hearing the sound, so that it was quite lively in front of the Chenghuang Temple.

"Yes, doing good things every day is still useful."

Zhang Ling hid himself among the people, looking at the strong incense in the Chenghuang Temple, and couldn't help but nodded.

These incense will replenish Zhou Qingtian's city god power and gradually increase it.

"As long as Zhou Qingtian preaches more at night, the incense in the City God's Temple should be able to last endlessly, and he can firmly sit on the throne of the City God."

Zhang Ling thought to himself as he walked around the Chenghuang Temple with the crowd.

He looked at the statue in the City God's Temple. It was quite crude, just a simple clay sculpture with no paint on the outside.

Zhang Ling pondered, and quietly flicked his fingers, giving the clay statue a magical power.

fragmented.

This evil magical power can keep the clay statue in a fragmented state.

Even after it is broken, it can be restored at once.

"When we turn around, we can let Zhou Qingtian carve the statue again."

After doing this, Zhang Ling walked out of the City God's Temple with another idea in his mind.

With Zhou Qingtian as the city god in this city, the people of Qingyun Blessed Land will have a fixed place to do business with Nanjiang.

At least, when you come to Linjiang City, you can be protected by Zhou Qingtian. This can be regarded as opening up a trade route for the people of Qingyun Blessed Land.

However, how to proceed with this trade route still requires careful consideration.

"Waiting for tonight, I will return under the cover of night." Zhang Ling thought to himself, and then turned around and left here.

However, just as Zhang Ling left Caishikou, suddenly the sound of water breaking came from the other side of the river city.

A group of Yaksha came ashore, looking fierce and evil.

"The Lord Li Gen has an order. The evil ghost Zhou Qingtian disrupted the whole city yesterday. Today, the people are not allowed to listen to the evil ghost and build temples!"

As he said this, these Yashas pushed the people away fiercely and arrogantly, all the way to the City God's Temple.

"Wow!"

In full view of the common people, this group of yakshas took action, and the steel forks in their hands came out one after another. The newly built City God Temple was immediately torn to pieces, with bricks and tiles flying everywhere.

There was also a Yaksha who aimed the steel fork in his hand directly at Zhou Qingtian's clay statue and smashed it at once.

The clay statue of the god was suddenly spread out and destroyed.

After doing this, Yaksha looked around, with a smug expression on his face, and said, "What the hell, Lord City God, I destroyed his statue, but I never saw him come out."

"It's just the sound of evil spirits in the river. I can't believe it."

With that said, Yaksha also warned the people around him, so that they could not erect the City God's Temple again.

A crowd of people gathered around and talked about it.

One of the soldiers saw this and ran to report to another city lord, Li Qing.

When Li Qing heard about this, he smiled slightly and said, "This matter has nothing to do with me anymore. Then Li Gen will do it if he wants to. Even if there are any consequences, he will bear them all."

After saying that, Li Qing waved his hand, just asking his men to pay attention to this matter, but not to worry too much.

the other side.

After a group of yakshas destroyed the City God's Temple, they left with great force and continued to go to major inns and entrances and exits of the city to investigate the practitioners who might have harmed the third son of the family.

At the entrance of the vegetable market alone, a group of people looked at the destroyed City God's Temple, some unwilling to leave.

Some of these people had just built the City God's Temple with their own hands. Now they were heartbroken to see the City God's Temple destroyed.

"Alas! Since the city lord gave the order, we can only give up."

"Mr. Zhou, our kindness has been repaid. There is nothing more we can do."

These people sighed and prepared to clean up the mess, but no one proposed to rebuild the City God Temple.

Obviously, under the order of a city lord, no common people dared to disobey.

Moreover, compared to the city lord Li Qing, the city lord Li Gen, who was born in the Yaksha clan, was much more cruel and unreasonable.

Just when the people sighed and went to clean up the mess.

Suddenly, the destroyed body of Zhou Qingtian's statue burst into light.

"what is this?"

The people were immediately startled and dispersed quickly, but they did not turn around and leave directly. They just looked at the statue in surprise.

This statue is originally made of clay.

After it was destroyed, there were just lumps of mud, but the appearance of the hands and feet could be seen.

But at this time, these mud blocks glowed slightly, and they suddenly rose into the sky and gathered together one after another.

The broken pieces of mud scattered on the ground were gathered together to restore the complete appearance of the statue.

"This……"

The people around were in an uproar, with shock in their eyes.

"What's going on?"

Among the people, especially the masons who had just personally molded the statue of the god, they were even more disbelieving and said: "I just made the statue of the god out of clay, how could this happen?"

The mason couldn't believe that this statue of a god he had made could be so strange.

The other people were quite shocked. Some people thought: "It must be Zhou Dashan who has a spirit to reunite this statue!"

This sentence reminded other people, and they woke up one after another.

"Yes, the power of the evil ghost in the river can only stay at night."

"Now that the sky is clear and the sun is shining, this statue is so strange, which means Zhou Dashan has really become a 'City God' as he said."

"It seems that the City God thing is not fake. I'll pay my respects again."

Immediately, people went over to worship in front of the statue of the god in the open air.

When other people saw this, they also followed suit.

Although there is no City God's Temple, they can still produce incense by worshiping the statue.

On the side of the crowd, Zhang Ling looked at this scene and turned to leave.

The gathering of the statues was naturally due to Zhang Ling's 'fragmented' magical power.

He didn't expect that with the little magical power he had just given, the statue would be destroyed in the blink of an eye, and then he used this little magical power.

Seeing the people worshiping the statue one after another, Zhang Ling had no intention of continuing to care.

For Zhou Qingtian, a little recognition and incense from the people can already expand his power.

At night, when Mingjiang comes, Zhou Qingtian can come out of the hell, and then he can naturally declare his presence again.

Even Zhou Qingtian can take revenge on what Li Gen, the Lord of Yaksha City, did.

Zhang Ling left to continue his practice. He had found a good place to practice in this city.

Not long after, Zhang Ling returned to the Wei family.

The Wei family has now become an abandoned place. Nothing valuable is gone inside, and even the doors and windows have been dismantled.

These places are not suitable for Zhang Ling to practice.

So he jumped down from the well and entered the underground river.

Zhang Ling held the river pearl and walked freely in the underground river. It didn't take long for him to reach a stone in the underground river.

The next moment, Zhang Ling held the green leather gourd and walked directly through the stone and entered the inner space.

This is the temporary place of practice that Zhang Ling found.

While the Yaksha clan was still searching the city, and the wind was leaking from everywhere in the Wei family's house, there was no one to disturb them, so it was just right for practice.

Zhang Ling crossed his legs and closed his eyes, silently recited the Calming Mantra and the Golden Light Mantra, and then used the Pure Heaven and Earth Mantra to activate the purification power of the ultimatum, and then began to practice breathing and breathing.

Suddenly, the magic power in Zhang Ling's body increased rapidly, and he also fell into the deepest level of cultivation.

Last night and the night before, due to those evil spirits in the river and exposure to the Qi of the Ming River, Zhang Ling's body was touched and awakened with clouds one after another, allowing Zhang Ling to naturally master many Taoist techniques.

But now, Zhang Ling is breathing in, attracting essence from the heaven and earth, and rapidly strengthening it to replenish his own magic power.

Unknowingly, the magic power in Zhang Ling's body grew stronger, and the clouds shone brightly.

"嘤嘤嘤!"

While Zhang Ling was practicing like this, the sound of a child crying suddenly reached Zhang Ling's ears.

"Who is this monster? How dare you disturb my practice?"

Zhang Ling suddenly put away his magic power and opened his eyes, shining brightly.

He opened his eyes and looked around in conjunction with the Taoist Qi Watching Technique.

But as far as the eye could see, it was still an empty closed space.

"Humph!"

Zhang Ling snorted coldly and was sure that he was not hallucinating just now.

At the moment, he chanted a spell in his mouth to find out the unknown existence.
