Chapter 278 Shinto And Demonic Cultivators
A murder happened again, and a group of people had no clue.
At this time, Nan Fubo said:
"Let's find someone. He must have clues."
Bai Yu wondered:
"Who is it? Is it possible that there are other monks here?"
Nan Fubo said: "The city god of the state capital!"
"City God?"
Nan Fubo explained:
"My junior uncle grew up in Dali, so he may not be very familiar with the affairs of Songming Country."
"There is an incense god here, and the incense god is the most sensitive to what happens within his own domain."
Bai Yu suddenly realized.
Incense and Fire Divine Way, this is something that has never been seen in Dali Kingdom.
Just like Uncle Jiu, although he is supported by the people, he cannot truly become a god.
While talking, the group arrived at the City God's Temple.
The Chenghuang Temple is not big and looks a bit dilapidated.
But early in the morning, many people came here to offer incense and pray for blessings.
Everyone entered the inner courtyard and saw a statue of the City God as tall as one person.
This city god is wearing iron armor and carrying a bow and arrow at his waist, but he is dressed like a military general.
Nan Fubo took out a piece of Five Thunder Tokens and chanted a mantra.
"Xiao Lei watched Nan Fubo and summoned the city god of Xizhou City."
Strangely enough, bursts of light emitted from the statue in front of him.
A faint figure walked out of the statue.
"The little god Yan Xiong, the city god of Xizhou City, has met several immortals."
Bai Yu was very interested. This Xizhou City God seemed to be a soul, but he was inseparable from a ghost.
Maybe it's a special kind of ghost cultivation?
Judging from the aura on his body, his strength may be in the late stage of Qi refining.
However, the cloud of luck above his head is red, and logically it should be the foundation-building strength.
Nanfubo Road:
"General Yan, yesterday I ordered you to secretly monitor the movements in the city."
"There was indeed a murder last night. Do you have any news?"
City God Yan Xiong looked troubled and said:
"Replying to what the immortals said, the little god didn't rest all night, but he really didn't find any clues."
"These monsters are really troublesome, otherwise the little god wouldn't have asked the immortals to come."
Nan Fubo's expression froze.
He never expected that two back-ups were deployed last night, but none of them took effect.
Even the City God found no trace of the murderer.
Bai Yu, on the other hand, looked at the somewhat defeated statue, thoughtfully.
This city god may not want Bai Yu and others to find the enemy.
In his previous life, there was a saying in his hometown:
"If there are no ghosts, there will be no gods."
This sentence has two meanings.
First, it is said that the righteous gods should also recruit mountain spirits and ghosts to serve as rampant soldiers, so that they can do things more conveniently and respond to everything.
The second meaning is that if there were no ghosts and monsters causing trouble, the people would not worship God every day.
If the god's incense is not strong, it will naturally become ineffective.
For the Chenghuang of Xizhou City, strange things happened in Xizhou, which actually made his incense more prosperous.
Bai Yu took a step forward and said calmly:
"As a city god, he receives support from all directions, but he cannot protect the people."
"There have been so many cases of caesarean sections to retrieve babies in recent days, and you don't even have a clue?"
"When I return to Jindu City one day, I will definitely explain this matter to King Songming."
He showed the sapphire ultimatum of the third-level auxiliary true monarch.
Since the City God follows the Shinto way, he must collect incense and belief.
This is the weakness.
Once the king declares that he is a prostitute, it will have a devastating impact on the city god.
Of course, Bai Yu and King Songming were not familiar with each other.
But it can still be used to defraud people.
"General Yan, think about it carefully, has anything unusual happened in the city these days?"
City God Yan Xiong muttered:
"I've reported to the immortals that the little god is of low strength and really doesn't know the clues about the thief."
"But I have to say it's unusual. There is a ruined temple on Langshou Mountain outside the south city. It seems a bit weird. The little god has felt a dangerous atmosphere inside it several times."
Sure enough, after being deceived by Bai Yu, the city god told the truth.
After hearing this, everyone rushed to the ruined temple in the south of the city.
As soon as he approached the ruined temple, Bai Yu felt a cold aura, which was exactly the same as the bloody aura he felt on the body of the deceased Zhao Xiaoni.
Above the ruined temple, there is a faint black energy lingering.
The four of them looked at each other and felt something unusual in the ruined temple.
Nan Fubo gave an order and ordered eight Qi Refining Iron Guards to set up a large formation with formation flags and surround the ruined temple.
Zen Master Fa'an released several Bronze Man Arhats and controlled them to take the lead in attacking the ruined temple.
I saw a group of bats flying out of the ruined temple.
Everyone jumped into the ruined temple, only to find that it was already empty.
After several searches, a secret room was found.
In the secret room, there is a blood pool, which is full of fishy blood.
Near the inside, there is a statue with three heads and eight arms.
But the statue's body was covered with cinnabar sealing talismans, and its eight arms were even wrapped with chains.
Moreover, there are talismans attached to the three heads, covering the eyes of the statue.
Nanfubo Road:
"It seems to be a demonic cultivator. Only demonic cultivators can enshrine this kind of demon statue."
"They want to use the power of the devil, but don't want to be truly infected by the devil, so they use talismans to seal the demon statue."
Bai Yu nodded slightly.
He has long heard that a demon cultivator is like walking on the tip of a knife.
Because demons and demonic energy themselves represent chaos and madness.
If the demon cultivator is not careful, his temperament will change drastically, and his intelligence will even drop drastically, turning him into a madman who only knows how to kill.
Bai Yu stepped forward, wiped a little incense ashes from the altar table and smelled it.
"The incense ashes still have the residual smell of sandalwood. It was burned within a day at least."
Nanfubo Road:
"Uncle Junior, are you saying that the demon cultivator just left not long ago?"
Bai Yu nodded:
"Yes, within a day, maybe even front and rear."
"So much so that they didn't even have time to take away the golem."
Everyone searched around the mountain again, but still found nothing.
This group of demon cultivators seemed to have disappeared without leaving any trace of breath.
Everyone had no choice but to destroy the ruined temple and return home.
Halfway through, Bai Yu's brain was running rapidly, and he had a question in his mind.
How did the demon cultivator know that they would go to Langshou Mountain?
Moreover, how did they avoid the search of the Jinglong Cauldron, sometimes in the east, sometimes in the west?
Is there a mole?
Or were they being watched from the beginning?
Thinking of this, Bai Yu had an idea in his mind.
When he returned to his footing, he suddenly said:
"I'm exhausted today. I won't be with you tomorrow. I'll wander around alone. If you find a demon cultivator, let me know."
Nan Fubo and others looked at each other.
It's only been two days since the investigation, and Bai Yu is about to give up?
However, they did not dare to object.
In terms of seniority, Bai Yu is Nan Fubo's uncle, and Nan Fubo is not easy to talk to.
As for Taoist Master Yin and Zen Master Fa'an, it's even more difficult to say anything.
He is a disciple of Leiyang Sect, so he is naturally superior to others.
Nan Fubo couldn't object, so he said:
"Then let Ding San run errands with my uncle. If anything happens, my uncle will just give him instructions."
He secretly thought that perhaps his uncle wanted to search alone.
The next day, Bai Yu went out early in the morning.
Nan Fubo nodded secretly. It seemed that the junior uncle still wanted to do business.
In the morning, Nan Fubo and others led police soldiers to search house to house.
At this time, Ding San sent back the news:
"Brother Nan, Senior Bai has gone to hook up."
