Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 174
Li Xiuyuan knew a little about this Guobei City God.

This city god is good at calculating and profiting everywhere, and his ambition is full of ambitions. He is just a city god who wants to become Yama of the underworld.

If that's the case, Li Xiuyuan wouldn't want to kill him. After all, if you have ambition, you have ambition, and there is nothing wrong with it. Harmful people near the North City, all kinds of evil spirits in the ghost city did not go to arrest, in addition, they violated the destiny and extended Chu Tian's life by seven days.

Although it was only a short period of seven days, the consequences of this were unimaginable.

If the City God hadn't extended Chu Tian's life, Chu Shilang would not have plotted against the heir of the Dragon King of Wujiang, and naturally there would not be such a disaster.

It can be said that the City God did something wrong from the very beginning, which is why such a disaster was caused.

If he ruled Qingming and there were no evil spirits to make trouble, how could such a thing happen.

That's why Li Xiuyuan came up with the idea of ​​killing him.

However, some of the words of the Guobei City God are also true. Now the Guobei City has suffered disasters inside and outside the city. After seven days, there will be ghosts everywhere. When the time comes, evil spirits will be everywhere, and the consequences will be very serious.

If the City God can be left behind, at least the disaster of ghosts can be calmed down.

Even though there was such a reason, Li Xiuyuan still did not give up the idea of ​​killing him.

So I came up with the idea of ​​drawing lots to decide life and death.

"You have no choice now. Either draw lots to decide your life or death, or I will cut you right in front of your eyes. There is no other way to go."

Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said.

The City God hesitated for a while, then looked at Li Xiuyuan's eyes full of murderous intent, his heart skipped a beat, he could only grit his teeth and said, "Okay, let's draw lots to decide, if the lottery is won, the lottery and the lottery or the lottery, Mr. Li You have to keep your promise and don't kill me."

"If it's the lottery and the lottery, please stick out your head honestly and get stabbed by me, don't struggle to resist."

After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he shook the lottery container in his hand, and then prepared to draw a lottery.

"Wait, wait." City God suddenly thought of something and said.

"Well, what do you want to do now?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

The City God gritted his teeth and said: "This lottery is related to my life and death. You can't let Mr. Li draw it yourself. You need to find someone who has no morals to draw it."

"I don't have the morals. Could it be that you think I will play tricks and deliberately draw the lottery?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"If Mr. Li hadn't beheaded the Dragon King of Wujiang, I would naturally believe that Mr. Li had no virtue, but the Dragon King of Wujiang had already been killed by Mr. Li. It would be unbelievable for Mr. Li to say that he had no virtue." Chenghuang said.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "Then let you be convinced. I will let the first person who enters the City God's Temple to draw lots. Then you will have nothing to say."

"Yes." Chenghuang nodded with a tense expression.

Looking at his pale and extremely nervous face, if he is not the body of ghosts and gods, he is probably covered in cold sweat by now.

Li Xiuyuan didn't say much, he put the stick on the altar and waited quietly.

It didn't take a while for the disaster victims to pour in outside the Town God's Temple, and soon, the temple was full of disaster victims. At this time, Wang Ping and his fellow scholars ordered the victims to enter the Town God's Temple to rest.

Out of reverence for the City God, these victims did not dare to enter the City God Temple casually for a while, and just rested outside the gate.

However, a child about seven or eight years old didn't have so many taboos, he crossed the threshold curiously, entered the Temple of the City God, stretched out his little head, and looked around.

"The drawers are here." Li Xiuyuan changed his expression and said slowly.

Cheng Huang's whole body trembled, his heart shrank, and he was extremely nervous all of a sudden.

"Little boy, what's your name?" Li Xiuyuan came out and asked.

The child looked at Li Xiuyuan, and said: "My name is Wang Bai, and my father calls me Xiaobai."

"Wang Bai, come here, do me a favor, I'll give you an apple to eat." Li Xiuyuan took an apple from the altar and shook it.

The bright red apples are very attractive.

Although it is a trick to deceive children, this trick is extremely effective.

Seeing his greedy eyes and his stomach's hunger, Wang Bai hurriedly asked, "What do you want me to do for you?"

"It's very simple. If you see if this pot of lottery is available, draw a lottery for me." Li Xiuyuan pointed to the lottery holder on the altar table and said.

"Really? It's that simple." Wang Bai said.

"Yes, it's that simple." Li Xiuyuan said.

Wang Bai was overjoyed immediately, ran over, grabbed the stick on the altar table, then shook it, and after a while, a bamboo stick fell from the stick on the ground with a click.

"Yes, what is the sign?"

Accompanied by a gust of wind and the smell of incense, the City God rushed over impatiently, wanting to take a look at the lottery.

His heart was beating wildly at this moment, and he had never been so nervous in his life.

Li Xiuyuan waved his hand, stopped Chenghuang, and said: "This is a lottery for me to see, I will not let you touch this lottery, this is your territory, who knows what tricks you will play."

Seeing Li Xiuyuan staring at him coldly, Chenghuang didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to take a few steps back slowly.

"Who are you talking to?" Wang Bai looked around curiously.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "I didn't talk to anyone, I just talked to myself."

After speaking, he wanted to pick up the bamboo stick on the ground, but the child was restless, Wang Bai picked up the bamboo stick first and handed it over: "Here, your stick."

After Li Xiuyuan took it, the smile on his face suddenly became cold, but he saw three words written on the bottom of the bamboo stick: "upper sign".

"Why, how could it be?" The City God next to him turned pale with shock when he saw this, for a moment he felt dizzy, dizzy and unable to take care of himself.

"Why, why, this is impossible. There are very few lottery marks. How can you get the lottery so easily? It must be cheating. You must be cheating. How can it be so easy to draw the lottery."

After a while, Cheng Huang came back to his senses and yelled again, not wanting to admit this fact.

Li Xiuyuan said lightly: "Chenghuang, it's useless for you to mess around here. It's God's will. It's God's will to kill you, not me, Li Xiuyuan. ?”

"No, it's not destiny. You must have cheated. If you are capable, you can draw the truth again. If you win the lottery again, I have nothing to say." Chenghuang said in a panic.

"You don't believe in the destiny? Hey, it's ridiculous. As a god, you don't believe in the destiny. No wonder the Dragon King of Wujiang will end up dead just like you. It's because you high-ranking gods claim to control the destiny, but you don't know, You are just like all living beings, you are just a stronger ants between heaven and earth, there is a time of birth and a day of perishing, and today is the time for your city god to die."

After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he said again: "You don't believe in the destiny, but I do. In order to make you give up, I will ask Wang Bai to draw lots again and see what the result is?"

"Wang Bai, draw another lottery for me?"

Seeing Li Xiuyuan talking into the air, and the darkness and oppression in the hall, Wang Bai couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Don't be afraid, just draw lots again as before, it's very easy." Li Xiuyuan said.

Only then did Wang Bai shake the stick again nervously.

However, Wang Bai was nervous, but Chenghuang was a hundred times more nervous than him, because this stick was related to his life.

"Crash~!"

The stick started to shake, and soon, a second bamboo stick flew out of the stick, but perhaps because of his nervousness, Wang Bai used too much force, and brought out another bamboo stick.

"Bah~!"

The two bamboo sticks landed on the ground indiscriminately.

On a section of the bamboo stick, there are three words clearly written: Shang Shang Sign.

Not just one, but the two shaken out this time are both top-notch.

"Everything, it's all signed, how is it possible, how is this possible?" Chenghuang roared almost madly.

At this moment, he felt as if the whole world was against him.

"Three times, the lottery is the upper lottery. There is no possibility at all. You must have changed the lottery container. There are all upper lottery in it, and there is no winning lottery or lower lottery."

City God rushed over madly and beat the stick, but because his expression was too excited, the force was too strong, and the stick immediately shattered.

Most of the bamboo sticks spilled out and all fell to the ground.

"Win the lottery, win the lottery, and win the lottery"

On the bamboo sticks on the ground, there are all small characters written on them, most of them are the winning lottery, the lower lottery, and the lower lottery. lie to him.

For a moment, Chenghuang was dumbfounded, and sat paralyzed on the ground, feeling extremely hopeless in his heart.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at Cheng Huang, and then said: "Wang Bai, you can go back to your parents now, don't come here for the time being, do you understand?"

After finishing speaking, he put a plate of melons and fruits on the altar into the child's hands.

Wang Bai nodded, and immediately ran out of the Town God's Temple, and soon disappeared.

After seeing him leave, Li Xiuyuan said: "Chenghuang, what else do you have to say now?"

Chenghuang just sat on the ground slumped, at a loss.

"It doesn't matter if you don't speak, I'm going to kill you today, don't blame me for being ruthless." Li Xiuyuan said calmly,
After he finished speaking, he calmed down, and then his body trembled slightly, his mind went out of his body, and with a big knife in his hand, he strode to Chenghuang's side.

"Wait, wait." Chenghuang said at this time.

"Any last words?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

The city god shook his head and said: "Today I deserved to die under Mr. Li's sword. I have nothing to say. All of this is karma. It's God's will. God wants to kill me. But before I became a city god, I was also a scholar. Could you invite Li Young master, wait a moment, let me straighten my clothes."

After speaking, he knelt down on the ground, took off the city god's official hat, and tidied up his clothes.

The movements were neither slow nor slow, and there was no fear on his face, as if he had accepted the result in his heart, and did not struggle or resist anymore.

With the sword at his side, there was no room for him to resist.
