Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 173
Li Xiuyuan ordered a few more words, then took the time to enter the temple.

But I saw that the temple was quiet and silent, and all the arrangements were the same as before the disaster, but the city god in the Town God's Temple before the flood protected it with his power.

"Master Li is looking for me?" At this moment a voice sounded.

But he saw a middle-aged man in official uniform walking out from behind the statue of the City God Temple.

This person is not a human being, but the City God of Guo Beicheng.

"Chenghuang, you are really capable. When the flood hits, you can easily protect your temple from damage." Li Xiuyuan smiled coldly.

"The Dragon King of the Wujiang River is flooding, and I can protect my temple, which is pretty good." The City God saluted and said.

Li Xiuyuan snorted heavily: "If you have this magic power, why don't you protect a group of people. In your opinion, your temple is much more important than the lives of the people."

He had long been dissatisfied with this Guobei City God, but now that he met him face to face, he felt angry.

In the final analysis, Guobei City is under the jurisdiction of his City God, and the Dragon King of Wujiang has been raining these days, no matter whether he doesn't ask, this City God is so negligent of his duty.

The Dragon King of Wujiang is the righteous god of Wujiang, but why not the City God.

But Chenghuang watched the disaster here, how could he not be angry at such inaction.

"Young Master Li misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to protect the people, but I knew the disaster was coming many days ago, before the rainstorm came down." Cheng Huang sighed.

"How do you know?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Chenghuang shook his head, did not continue, but turned around and said: "I know I have a responsibility this time, so I left the Chenghuang Temple for the people in the city to live in, and left a well for the people to drink. Know what Young Master Li thinks?"

Li Xiuyuan said: "The temple was built by the common people, and the well was dug by the common people. You are just enjoying the incense on high. Don't make yourself so noble, and you have something to hide from me. The matter of the Dragon King of Wujiang is definitely not that simple. He As the son of Jiaolong, how could my son die for no reason? There must be a reason, and today I want to get the truth of this matter from you."

Chenghuang's expression changed, and he said, "I don't know about this matter very well, Mr. Li, it's useless for you to ask me."

"You even know that the flood is coming, so you don't know about it? Since you don't know, then what's the use of me wanting you as a city god now, why don't I send you, a stupid city god, on the road today, just as I just got a big knife A few heads are missing." Li Xiuyuan stared at the city god with murderous intent.

He didn't want to be deceived by this City God a second time.

With a sway of his body, a burst of purple energy rushed out of his body, but he saw that his spirit had already come out of his body, holding a big knife in his hand.

Immortal Sword?

Cheng Huang's eyes shrank suddenly, and his face was a little shocked.

Two days ago, he also saw Li Xiuyuan's spirit come out of his body, tearing the sky with this knife, splitting the dark clouds, and beheading the Dragon King of Wujiang.

If this knife cuts towards him, he will definitely die.

"Mr. Li, calm down. It's useless for you to kill me now. The flood has already happened. The most important thing now is to deal with the aftermath. I can help you rescue the disaster and save people. You must not act recklessly."

Cheng Huang lost his calmness before, and when he saw Li Xiuyuan acting seriously, his voice trembled in fright.

He instinctively felt that the knife in Li Xiuyuan's hand was very scary.

If he cut it with a knife, he would definitely die.

"You, the city god, don't need to deal with the aftermath. Besides, many people can do for you what you can do. You are fatuous and incompetent. You watched Guo Beicheng being flooded. Although you have a little merit, but This can't cover up your heinous crime, and I have long disliked you as a city god, so I just beheaded you today to restore peace to Guo Beicheng."

Li Xiuyuan came with a knife in his hand, his face was indifferent, without any hesitation.

He was indeed impatient with the city god, it was fine if he lied to him last time, but this time the people in the city were affected by the disaster, but he didn't care about it, so what's the use of receiving this incense?

"Wait, wait, Mr. Li, wait, don't behead me, if you have anything to discuss." Chenghuang turned pale with shock, wanted to run away but didn't dare.

Even the Dragon King of Wujiang couldn't escape the great saber of killing immortals, and his skills were far worse than him, so how could he escape.

"It's okay to discuss it. Say, why did the Dragon King of Wujiang lose his son and make a flood?" Li Xiuyuan stopped, raised his sword, and pointed at the City God.

"Can you spare my life if you tell me?" Chenghuang said tremblingly.

"Say it, maybe I can spare you, but if you don't, I'll kill you right now."

Li Xiuyuan said: "Don't try to lie to me, if I find any loopholes in your words, I will not recognize anyone with this sword."

"It's a long story. It's related to Chu Shilang. His grandson Chutian was bitten by a poisonous snake. In addition, when he came back, he was assassinated by an arrow. He was in danger. That's why Chu Shilang wanted the heir of the Dragon King of Wujiang. The blood of the dragon was used to save people, so he murdered the heir of the Dragon King of Wujiang, which caused such a catastrophe." Cheng Huang hurriedly said.

Li Xiuyuan said angrily: "You still dare to lie to me, you are courting death."

After finishing speaking, he raised the immortal sword in his hand and was about to drop it.

The City God was so frightened that he knelt down: "Also, there is one more thing. It was me who extended Chu Tian's life for seven days and bought time to save his life. That's why Chu Shilang succeeded."

"You mere city god, how can you prolong someone's life? You can only seduce the soul in advance and make people die early. You can't prolong life. Extending life is the job of the king of hell. How can a mere city god compare to the king of hell? You are really deceiving me. Don't you even know about the gods and ghosts? Since you still dare to lie to me, I can't keep you today." Li Xiuyuan shouted.

You must know how many city gods there are in this world. Every big city has a city god under its jurisdiction, and there are at least dozens of city gods in the world.

If the City God can increase his lifespan, then the world is really messed up.

Now that death is imminent, this City God is not honest, he feels that there must be something more important to hide from him.

What my master said is right, you can't believe the words of ghosts and gods.

"I said, I said, it's the book of life and death. I got the book of life and death from the red-haired ghost king in the underworld, and it can prolong people's lives."

Seeing Li Xiuyuan, Chenghuang raised his saber again,
"The red-haired ghost king?" Li Xiuyuan's eyes flashed brightly: "So you used me to restrain the red-haired ghost king last time, so that you can win the book of life and death for you?"

"Yes, yes." Chenghuang nodded, complaining in his heart.

The previous Li Xiuyuan was easy to talk and made sense, but now this Li Xiuyuan is threatening with a knife at every turn. The knife is now on his neck, and if he disagrees with him, he will cut it off. This is unbearable.

Li Xiuyuan suddenly smiled coldly: "Sure enough, you are really powerful as a city god, let me take the book of life and death for you. Come to think of it, you were very proud of the spring breeze a while ago, and you even gave me a few altars of fine wine. My reward?"

Chenghuang trembled all over, but didn't say much.

"Say, where is the book of life and death?" Li Xiuyuan shouted again.

"Can you not kill me if you tell me?" Chenghuang said.

"Then I'll kill you now, and look slowly." Li Xiuyuan stared at him and said.

The City God immediately said: "On the altar, press it under the red cloth on the altar."

Hearing this, Li Xiuyuan immediately put away the knife, his soul returned to his body, and then he walked to the altar, opened the red cloth, and saw a simple book under it.

There are three big characters written on it: Book of Life and Death.

besides.On the book of life and death, there are also flashes of thunder and light, as if ghosts and gods are forbidden to touch.

Li Xiuyuan frowned, stretched out his hand, but saw the thunder and lightning immediately disappeared, and he took it in his hand smoothly.

Seeing this, Chenghuang's eyelids twitched again.

"What do you do for a living?"

Li Xiuyuan glanced at the book of life and death, there was nothing in it, but when he thought about it, a person's name appeared, and the fate, longevity, fortune, etc. of that person immediately appeared on it.

It really deserves to be the most supreme existence in the underworld, it is really miraculous.

But taking such a treasure, he didn't feel excited, and continued to look at Chenghuang.

"Can you survive if you say it?" Cheng Huang asked again.

"My patience is very limited." Li Xiuyuan closed the book of life and death, glanced at him and said.

The City God gritted his teeth and said, "Once you get the book of life and death, if you get the judge's pen, you can easily judge life and death, increase or decrease life, and become the new king of Hades in the underworld."

"It seems that your ambition is not small, and you actually want to be the king of Hades." Li Xiuyuan said.

Chenghuang fell silent for a moment.

He also has pursuits, why is he willing to be a city god for the rest of his life.

Li Xiuyuan was too lazy to say to him: "Here is a pot of lottery. I will draw a lottery for you today. If you get the lower lottery, I will not behead you today. If you get the upper lottery, then I will behead you today. Whether you live or die, it depends on you." It's God's will, don't say I won't give you a chance, in this pot of lottery, if there are few top signs and many bottom signs, you still have a good chance of surviving."

Cheng Huang narrowed his eyes and looked at him in horror.

"Well, isn't this a bit of a joke? Mr. Li, it's useless for you to kill me. It's useless. I can do a lot of things for you. By the way, there are many casualties in the city. After the first seven days, there must be grievances everywhere. Wrong ghosts and ghosts harm people's lives, and the consequences are unimaginable, if you keep me, I can arrest the ghosts and ghosts for you, Mr. Li, to keep peace in the city."

"I'll arrange Yin soldiers to arrest the unjust ghosts." Li Xiuyuan said lightly.

"How can there be so many yin soldiers? Mr. Li, you have only 21 yin soldiers under your command. With the addition of a few ghosts, it is not enough to arrest the souls of the whole place. It is not only Guobei City that is affected, but also the nearby villages outside the city. , the town has been hit by a disaster, as long as you don't kill me, Mr. Li, I promise to pacify the evil spirits and ghosts here for you, and I don't want the book of life and death, I will give it to you, Mr. Li." Cheng Huang hurriedly said.

In order to survive, he gave away everything he got before.

Because he could tell that Li Xiuyuan was really intent on killing, not just pretending.

Li Xiuyuan said; "Well, this is a human saying, but I have to wait until I draw the lottery to make a decision. How about this, I will give you another chance. If you win the lottery, I will let you go, so you have nothing to say." Let’s talk about it.”

Cheng Huang's eyes moved and he thought for a while, the chances of winning the lottery and the next lottery are indeed not small.

He has been enshrined in this Chenghuang Temple for so many years, and he is still very clear about the matter of asking for a lottery.

　Third watch.we agreed.
