Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 175 Little Ghost Palace

After Li Xiuyuan allowed Chenghuang to straighten his clothes, he didn't give him any further time to delay, and the sword in his hand landed on Chenghuang's neck.

Cheng Huang was like a prisoner waiting to be beheaded, obediently knelt on the ground, stretched out his neck, his face expressionless.

Although he was afraid of death, when the moment of death came, as the city god, he was extremely calm, because he had accepted the result helplessly in his heart.

"I'll send you on your way today."

Li Xiuyuan's eyes flashed, and the sword in his hand immediately raised high.

Chenghuang didn't know what was going on at this moment, and suddenly raised his head slightly to look outside the City God's Temple, laughed loudly and said, "God's will, it really is God's will, it turns out that there is a sky above the gods' heads, we are not the sky, no."

Li Xiuyuan didn't know what the city god understood before he died, but without any hesitation, the sword in his hand dropped.

No screams, no blood spatter.

The City God is a ghost, without flesh and blood. When the knife fell, the City God's head rolled down from his neck and rolled along the ground towards the door, but it hadn't rolled to the threshold. However, the large head turned into an extremely rich incense and dispersed in the air.

"What a sword to kill immortals"

After Chenghuang's head dissipated, his faint murmur before dying echoed in the hall.

The body of the City God who had lost his head was still kneeling on the ground at this moment, but his body was gradually disintegrated, and a stream of incense began to emit, and the whole hall was filled with smoke, as if it was on fire.

But this smoke is not real, but illusory, invisible to the naked eye, only those who practice Taoism can see it.

"Hundreds of years of incense accumulation, once dissipated." Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he said slowly.

"Crack, click~!"

At this time, cracks appeared on the statue of the City God in the Temple of the City God, and finally with a bang, the head of the City God on the statue of the City God broke and fell directly from the statue.

Unbiased, the altar table in the temple was bombed to pieces.

The city god died, the idol collapsed, and the altar was destroyed.

Such signs are obvious. From now on, this Town God's Temple has no gods, and it has become an ordinary and empty temple.

"Ok?"

Li Xiuyuan took a look, but saw that the incense from the death of the City God did not dissipate, but floated in the sky above the Temple of the City God, condensed like a thick layer of white clouds, lingering.

"Are you waiting for the new City God to inherit this incense?" He frowned, and couldn't help guessing like this.

If this is the case, doesn't it mean that Guo Beicheng will soon have a new City God take office?
If it's okay for the newcomer to be loyal to his duty, what if he is like this City God, or even worse than this City God?
Besides, the current imperial court is corrupt, and it is hard to guarantee that the gods will not be like this.

"Generally speaking, the city gods are appointed by the gods of the Tiangong. Now that there is something wrong with the city gods, the gods in the Tiangong have not been found. I think this Tiangong is not a pool of clear water. I dare not expect such a Tiangong. If so, this I will appoint the City God of Guo Beicheng."

Li Xiuyuan's eyes flashed, and he made up his mind.

Although the city god he appointed is not orthodox, it is equivalent to the mountain god Xiaomao.

But so what, the so-called orthodoxy is nothing more than a sentence, as long as the position is secure, it is a little ghost who becomes the city god, and it is also orthodox.

With this thought in mind, Li Xiuyuan returned to his physical body in a daze.

He had just returned to his physical body and was about to leave the temple when he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw a few furtive figures hiding behind the dark door on the side of the Temple of the City God.

"Where did you come from, kid, come out." He shouted suddenly.

"Big, young master, don't, don't be angry, it's the younger one, it's the younger brothers." At this time, a blue-faced Yin soldier and a black-faced Yin soldier came out in panic from the dark place.

"So it's you, what are you doing hiding there? Is there any shady business?" Li Xiuyuan frowned.

"The young master misunderstood the young one. How could the young one have any shady activities? Isn't the young one waiting for the young master here?" The two Yin soldiers nodded and bowed, revealing their obsequious smiles.

Li Xiuyuan said; "I still have things to do now, so I don't have time to take care of you."

After finishing speaking, he wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered something, he stopped and said, "I'll tell you two to do something."

"Please order, Eldest Young Master? The two younger brothers will do their best." The two Yin soldiers hurriedly said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Are there other ghost soldiers and ghost messengers in the Town God's Temple?"

"Yes, yes, they are all staying in the little ghost hall nearby." Said the blue-faced Yin soldier.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Now that the city god is dead, I will let you two lead them. I will be useful in the future. If any Yin soldier refuses to accept or wants to take the opportunity to create chaos and destroy him, I don't want to be distracted at this critical moment. Gods and ghosts."

"Yes, yes, don't worry, Eldest Young Master, the two younger brothers will definitely manage well, but, but, Eldest Young Master, the younger two have just become Yin soldiers not long ago, and they were injured again when they went to capture Li Gui a while ago. Among the few thorns, the younger brothers are probably no match."

The blue-faced Yin Soldier first said swearingly, but then said with a sad face
The black-faced soldier next to him nodded and said, "Yes, it's not that the little one is unwilling to do his best, but even if it costs his life, he won't be able to handle the affairs of the young master. It's a big deal."

"Stop beating around the bush, what do you want? Tell me." Li Xiuyuan said lightly.

He was not angry at all for these two little devils taking the opportunity to seek benefits.

The guards of his own Li family still need to pay monthly money, and feed them with food, wine, meat, and food, so naturally this kid is also the same, even the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers.

If you want others to do things, the benefits are naturally indispensable.

"Don't dare, don't dare, I just ask the young master to make the incense in the hall even smaller, and the two younger brothers will be satisfied." The blue-faced Yin soldier said with a flattering smile.

Li Xiuyuan looked up at the thick incense coiled around the main hall, and then said: "You guys are really good at picking things, this is the incense that the city god has accumulated for hundreds of years, it is a great tonic for you soldiers and ghosts, But these incense sticks are useful to me, and I can’t just use them up casually. How about this, I’ll give you a corner of the incense sticks over there, but you have to remember, that’s all. If the incense sticks here are any less, I’ll ask you .”

After speaking, he pointed to a corner of the hall.

There is a thick cloud of incense floating in that place.

"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master."

The two Yin soldiers were overjoyed when they heard the words, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank them.

"Okay, do what I ordered just now. If something goes wrong, I won't cut you off, I will just tie you up to bask in the sun." After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he strode away.

As soon as Li Xiuyuan walked away, the two yin soldiers looked at each other on the back, and then smiled excitedly, and immediately turned into a gust of yin wind and flew into the thick incense stick in the corner.

Suddenly, there was a tumbling and wriggling in the thick incense, and there seemed to be two figures rapidly condensing into shape, and there was a feeling of wanting to change into an entity.

The two ghosts absorbed the incense hungrily, and divided up the incense in the corner of the wall, leaving no trace.

It seemed that he still felt a little unsatisfactory, and the black-faced soldier wanted to grab a handful of incense next to him and eat it.

"That's enough, the young master has ordered that only the incense in this corner is allowed. If the young master finds out if you take another bite, you may lose your life. Don't forget, it was just below us, high above us!" The City God provoked the Eldest Young Master, and in the end he had to stretch his neck, causing the Eldest Young Master to chop off his head."

The blue-faced Yin soldier next to him grabbed him in fright and pulled him back.

"Hey, hey, I can't help it, sorry, sorry, I won't do it again next time."

The black-faced Yin Soldier shuddered all over, then smiled coquettishly, and quickly withdrew his hand, as if what was in front of him was not delicious incense, but arsenic, poison.

"Okay, the incense is finished, it's time to get down to business. If this matter can't be done well, I'm afraid that the incense that I ate will be spit out. The young master's temper is just a joke." The blue-faced soldier said seriously again .

"It's true, but with our current skills, isn't the leader of those Yin soldiers easy to catch?" The black-faced Yin soldier grinned.

The two ghosts swayed and fell to the ground again. The figures that appeared were armored, burly and powerful men.

It doesn't look like a soldier anymore, but like a general.

Above the yin soldiers are ghost generals. Although a group of strong incense is not enough to make them ghost generals, it also makes them different from ordinary yin soldiers. If they enjoy the incense a few more times, it is not impossible to truly become ghost generals possible.

I feel that following the young master has a bright future.

With this in mind, the two Yin soldiers swaggered through the wall and flew towards the little ghost hall next to them.

There is an inconspicuous small hall in the Town God's Temple, which enshrines hideous little ghosts holding knives, guns, chains, and waist knives. Although there are not many incense here on weekdays, they are much better than ordinary little ghosts.

There are not many statues of little ghosts in the little ghost hall, only seven or eight statues.

Those who can occupy a statue here are all the cronies of the City God.

But right now, the city god is dead, and the emperor and courtiers, those high-ranking bosses in normal times, naturally don't pay attention to them.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

Soon, there was a gust of wind blowing in the Little Ghost Hall, sometimes colliding with each other, and there was a faint sound of weapons colliding, as if someone was fighting and fighting inside. If you listen carefully, you will hear the sound of shouting and killing.

However, it didn't take long for this situation to subside soon.

The two winds with a strong scent of incense took the upper hand and calmed down the other winds.
