Chapter 438 City God Temple

The Town God's Temple is very remote on the southern outskirts of the Dadu River.

"Why did you go to the Temple of the City God to pick up the quest? Generally speaking, in the Southwest region, you pick up the quest in the Temple of Judges."

After drinking tea and eating, Wei Qing and Mr. Legend chartered a van to go to Chenghuang Temple. The road was very bumpy. Wei Qing only found out that Mr. Legend’s real name was Chu Xuan when he was eating. He was from Dali in the southwest. For more than a year, He basically settled down with Sister Sarah on the XSBN side, no tattoos, and no government missions.

Unless it was a mission that came to him, he would only take a long trip by chance.

Mr. Legend is cold on the surface, but it is not difficult to see from his few words that he is a very caring man and loves Chu Xuan very much. He said that the proudest thing to do as a father is to grow up with his daughter , while in the car, Mr. Legend asked a question.

Wei Qing shrugged and said: "I don't know why, anyway, this is the order I received, let me come to the Temple of the City God to get the task file. You have been a soul ferryer for so many years, you should be compared with the task. I know much more, don't I?"

"I'm just a fifth-grade soul ferryman. My superiors gave me tasks through carrier pigeons. I still don't know who the superiors are! The manpower of the underworld is very isolated in the human world. So far, I have never seen anyone who is more powerful than me. Higher-ranking soul ferrymen, because the tasks performed by each soul ferryman are secrets to the underworld. Once we let people meet, it is easy to leak the secrets, so often one thing is multiple souls The ferryman executes a part, it is difficult to know the whole story!"

"Perhaps, you are a ghost general, and the place where you accept the mission is a little more special than ours."

It seems that women and love can really change a man. Mr. Legend is such a cool and handsome person, and now he speaks a bit chatty. He turned his head and glanced at Wei Qing and said: "You are a ghost general. I have something to ask you to accompany you in the trial!"

Wei Qing wondered, "Please?"

"After helping you this time, I hope you can respond to the underworld and deprive me of my status as a soul ferryman. I am willing to swear a poisonous oath to promise that I will not bother to reveal anything about the underworld in the future, nor will I participate in anything that should not be done. I just want to be an ordinary person right now.”

Wei Qing laughed and said: "Being a soul ferryman should be a good benefit, right? You gave up, don't you think it's a pity."

Mr. Legend shook his head and said, "Is it possible?"

Wei Qing let out a long breath and said, "Okay, let me tell you when the time comes?"

"Actually, I have a very ominous premonition now. Maybe this time is really the last time I will be a soul ferryman. I have heard a little bit about your story. A person in the world can be a ghost general." , The underworld must have taken special care of you, so please be careful in this mission."

When we arrived at the Town God's Temple, it was already evening.

Wei Qing visited Town God's Temple once when he was in Xianyang City.However, the gap between the Town God's Temple in Dadu River Ancient City and Xianyang City is too big. There are lonely ruined temples standing at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by black numbness, and there is no trace of incense at all.

Wei Qing glanced at the temple gate, and even the plaque with the words Chenghuangmiao was blackened. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't know it was Chenghuangmiao.The God of Plague asked Wei Qing to come here to pick up the task, which means that there is a City God in this ruined temple, and the benefits and treatment are a bit too shabby.

"Hehe. This Town God's Temple has been very popular for 30 years. Not to mention the locals, even tourists who come here will come here to offer a stick of incense, because in several cities within a radius of a hundred miles, this is The only Town God's Temple, but 30 years ago, a fire burned it down!"

Wei Qing was very surprised and said: "Someone set fire to the Town God's Temple?"

"Well, 30 years ago, it was said that there were a few wanted rogues who hid in this Chenghuang Temple for decades, killed the Taoist priests guarding here, and changed their faces to collect money and enjoy themselves here. That's all, the real identities of these rogues may not be revealed. But in the past ten years, a dozen or so female pilgrims have disappeared one after another, and the police have also come to investigate, but nothing has been found."

"Later, someone asked God in the Temple of Wealth, saying that there were gold and silver treasures in the courtyard of the Temple of the City God, but in the end a dozen corpses were fished out, which led to the identities of several Taoist priests being exposed. I am not worthy to be a god, so I set fire to this place, and no one came here again!"

The secret leaked by the Temple of the God of Wealth led to the ruin of the Temple of the City God?

Wei Qing frowned slightly.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this matter is just an old talk, but in Wei Qing's eyes, it has another meaning.The God of Wealth is the god of the heavens, while the City God is the god of the underworld. Although they are both gods believed by ordinary people in the world, there is still a big difference. One is from the sky and the other is from the underworld.

The Town God's Temple, which was originally prosperous in incense, was exposed by the Temple of the God of Fortune, and its status was finally reversed, making the Temple of God of Fortune flourish, and the Temple of the City God became a place of ruins.

To put it bluntly, this is the battle between the underworld and the heavens!

The two entered the Town God's Temple with flashlights. There was no light in the Town God's Temple, and it was quiet. The temple was overgrown with weeds, insects were constantly singing, and even frightened mice could be seen fleeing.Two people walked through the outer hall, and the three halls were arranged in a large pattern, showing the glory of the past.

Wei Qing went directly to the palace in the middle.

The inside of the palace was dark, and there were obvious signs of burnt. The huge statue of the City God was blackened by smoke, and two ears were pulled off and disappeared.It seems that the angry people not only burned down the Temple of the City God, but also tore out the ears and eyes of the city god who turned a deaf ear and opened his eyes.

For the sake of being a fairy, this City God is really unlucky.

"Come out?"

Wei Qing shouted.

Mr. Legend looked at Wei Qing with an idiotic look, frowned and said, "You don't understand the art of communication in the underworld?"

Wei Qing was taken aback, and said, "No one told me this."

"Give me your nameplate!" Wei Qing handed the nameplate of himself as a new generation of ghost generals to Mr. Legend. Mr. Legend clasped his hands together, holding the nameplate, and muttered something. After a long time, he broke away sweating profusely. Eyes, frowning: "Are you sure there is really a City God here?"

Wei Qing asked back: "Isn't there?"

"You are a ghost general of the underworld. Although you are lower than him in terms of rank, you represent the underworld. He is a magistrate. If he feels your nameplate, it should appear, but I have already tried it. It’s been three times, and there’s been no movement at all. Hehe, if there is really a City God in this City God’s Temple, do you think that the old man would really stay out of those gangsters who committed crimes 30 years ago?”
