I traveled through infinite nightmare events

Chapter 285 Something is wrong with the City God

Gu Qiu found the grocery store and bought first a white paper lantern and then a candle. Seeing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but look at Gu Qiu more.

"Shopkeeper, is there any problem if I buy these things!?" Gu Qiu asked.

The shopkeeper immediately apologized and said with a smile, "No problem, no problem. Is there a new mourning in your family?"

"No." Gu Qiu shook his head.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Sorry, not many people buy white lanterns on weekdays. They are usually lighted by newly bereaved family members for the deceased. It is said that the deceased could not see the way home for the first seven days. The only thing I can see is the white lantern and the red candle."

Gu Qiu said, "Oh? If you put it this way, these white lanterns are still funeral items, but why don't we have them in the paper-making shop?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, the old shopkeeper was originally a temple official at the City God's Temple. Then something happened to the City God's Temple, so he came here and opened a paper shop. He sells everything for funerals, but he doesn't sell white lanterns."

"Oh!" Gu Qiu touched his chin, had some thoughts in his mind, and returned to the inn with his things.

Back at the inn, Gu Qiu simply lay down on the bed and took a nap. He had not slept for several days. Although his need for sleep was not high after his body was strengthened, being able to squint for a while would definitely help his physical recovery. .

After sleeping until it was almost dark, Gu Qiu felt refreshed. After getting up, he went downstairs and ordered a delicious meal. The roast goose, a specialty of Yangshan County, was big and fat. Gu Qiu couldn't stop eating it.

After eating some stir-fried side dishes and a bowl of taro porridge, Gu Qiu touched his belly. He had a great meal. He raised his eyes and looked out the door, only to see that the sky had turned completely dark, and there was just no light in the sky. moon.

Gu Qiu walked out of the inn, put the red candle into the white paper lantern, lit it and walked out with the lantern. Yangshan County was a little lonely after nightfall. Except for a few businessmen who closed their stalls and were going back, there were almost no other people in sight, and these businessmen also Walking fast.

Someone saw Gu Qiu carrying a white paper lantern, and his face turned pale with fright, and he almost ran away in tears.

Gu Qiu himself Shi Shiran carried the lantern and walked forward, quickly walked out of the town, and then walked west carrying the lantern according to what the owner of the paper shop said.

The night wind was cold, but fortunately Gu Qiu was strong and couldn't feel anything. However, the surroundings were really dark and frightening. Except for the light in his hand, there was no light at all when he looked around.

There are constant sounds of insects buzzing around, and there are also some rustling sounds, like the sounds of mice and small animals running by. If a timid person were here, I am afraid that I would be scared out of my mind before I found the locust tree. At least it’s here.

Gu Qiu's face was indifferent. After walking for a while, he suddenly saw a big locust tree on the roadside. The big locust tree was twisted as if it had been struck by thunder and fire. It actually formed the shape of a small door.

"This is it." Gu Qiu murmured, carrying a lantern and walking through the small door of the big locust tree. The path in front of him was very difficult to walk, and there were overgrown weeds on both sides, and some vines even climbed onto the path. Obviously, this It's a small road that no one usually walks on.

At this time, gusts of dark wind blew, and Gu Qiu frowned and continued to move forward. When those dark winds blew around Gu Qiu, there was a black air invisible in the dark night that separated them and could not reach Gu Qiu at all.

After walking forward for a moment, Gu Qiu glanced at the candle, which was just half burned. He turned around and looked around, only to see a wasteland without vegetation illuminated by the firelight of the white paper lantern.

"Found it." Gu Qiu showed a smile on his face and walked over with a white paper lantern. Just as the old man who made the paper shop said, there was a big stone in the wasteland.

Gu Qiu circled around the stone. There was nothing special about the stone, but the top was flat, as if someone had polished it.

The lantern faced north and south. Gu Qiu slowly closed his eyes. Not long after, he heard the whistling sound of wind in his ears. At the same time, Gu Qiu could hear the red candle burning in the white paper lantern. sound.

Suddenly, the sound of the wind dissipated, and the sound of burning red candles also disappeared. Gu Qiu opened his eyes suddenly, and saw a City God's Temple in front of him. It was scary that the temple was dilapidated. Gu Qiu could go to get the white paper lantern at any time, but it was a pity that the white paper lantern was there. I don't know when it was burned to ashes.

Gu Qiu raised his eyebrows and ignored the ashes on the big stone. Instead, he turned around and walked into the City God's Temple. As soon as he entered the City God's Temple, Gu Qiu heard an angry roar, followed by screams and pleas.

Taking a closer look, in the City God's Temple, he saw a black-faced City God holding a short knife and carving something on the faces of several people. The City God seemed to have noticed Gu Qiu, and raised his hand and said, "Come on, let me identify you." Loyalty, villainy, good and evil, merit will be rewarded, and fault will be punished!"

Gu Qiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a pair of scissors was already in his hand. The city god glanced at Gu Qiu and sneered, "You are a murderer, you are a desperado!"

"What do my good and evil have to do with you?" Gu Qiu sneered.

The City God's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "I am the City God, and I protect this land. If you dare to disobey, you will be punished!" After saying that, he waved his sleeves, and saw little ghosts all around him popping up, wagging towards them. Gu Qiu rushed over.

"Huh!" Gu Qiu snorted coldly, and a black shadow appeared behind him. A flash of scarlet passed through the black shadow, and the little ghosts shattered one after another.

The City God was startled and said angrily, "The thief is bold, come on! Capture him for me!"

As the City God shouted angrily, one of the people being tortured in the main hall suddenly stood up. This man was dressed in official uniform and had a fire stick in his hand. However, this man's face had his ears and nose cut off, and his eyes were bloody.

"The county government's arrester!?" Gu Qiu thought to himself, but the arrester had already arrived in front of Gu Qiu in an instant, and smashed down his head and face with a stick of water and fire.

Su Ying wanted to help block it, but the yamen officer actually radiated a blood energy, which directly shook Su Ying away. Seeing this, Gu Qiu raised his hand to grab the water and fire stick.

puff!

With a muffled sound, the water and fire stick turned into a raging fire, burning along Gu Qiu's palm towards his body. Even Gu Qiu himself felt a burst of heat.

"This is not ordinary fire!" Gu Qiu was horrified. What this flame burned was not his body, but his soul!

"Hmph!" Gu Qiu shouted loudly, and the spiritual energy in his body suddenly exploded, and then he extinguished the flames. At the same time, Gu Qiu raised his hand, and a spiritual pill shot out, directly piercing the head of the catcher, knocking him down. Fly out.

The City God's eyes widened and he said angrily, "What a stubborn thief! Why don't you catch him yet!"

At this time, four more people stood up, three of them were spitting out long tongues, and one of them had a human head but a pig body, making a sound like killing a pig in his throat, and rushed towards Gu Qiu.

"Good guy, you've been dead for so long and you still refuse to let them go." Gu Qiu finally understood that after these people died, they were still being punished day and night by the City God.

Two updates are here, please remind me. I usually eat vegetarian noodles, but I would like a bowl with meat tomorrow, please.
