Latest website: In the middle of the night, the famous Hualiu streets and alleys in Luping City are still brightly lit, and the sounds of orioles and swallows in the buildings along the street are noisy and sweet.
“Sir, you are so awesome!”
“Brother Niu, you are forthright and can please people. The more I see you, the more heroic you become~”
“Master Niu, why don’t you stay here tonight~~” “Yes, Master Niu, you really have the heart to leave us!”
Four or five gorgeous girls surrounded Niu Batian, who hugged him from left to right and walked out of the building with his face glowing red as these women escorted him.
“Hey, no, no, old cow, cough, I have something to do tomorrow to visit the famous guard’s house outside the city. If I stay here overnight, my entourage will be anxious if they can’t find me tomorrow morning!”
Lao Niu answered the girls’ questions with a smile, and refused to stay again and again with difficulty.
“Wow, Mr. Niu is so busy!” “Brother Niu, don’t forget us!”
“Well done, sir~~~” “Brother Niu will come again next time~~~”
“Hahahaha… definitely, I will come again next time!”
Lao Niu smiled all over his face, reluctantly broke away from his arms and walked out of the building. When he got outside, he looked back and saw a plaque with the name of the brothel he just came out of hanging high, and the red flowers on it were so pleasing to the eye.
“The Nephrite Building is so nice. I really want to spend the night there, but it’s a pity…”
Niu Batian reached into his arms and took out a shriveled money bag and shook it. The few copper plates left inside made sporadic jingling sounds.
“Hey, next time I won’t call so many celebrities…the ordinary girls here are also pretty good, tsk tsk tsk…”
Niu Batian smacked his lips as he happily left this gentle alley, turned around in three steps, and walked on the street in the night.
For ordinary people, the visibility ahead gradually decreases, but for Niu Batian, it is as clear as daytime.
“Wenxiang Nephrite, Wenxiang Pavilion, Nephrite Tower, the names are all appropriate for the occasion.”
The peaceful voice suddenly rang out from the alleyway he was passing by, startling Niu Batian suddenly.
“Hey, Mr. Ji, why are you here? You scared me to death!”
Niu Batian patted his chest and looked towards the edge of the alley. Ji Yuan, dressed in white, was standing there looking at him, with a pair of blue eyes that seemed to never see Poland.
Seeing that Mr. Ji just looked at him without speaking, Niu Batian smiled awkwardly.
“I, Lao Niu, like to take walks at night, just go out for a walk. Well, you are not here to catch me, are you?”
Ji Yuan looked at the money bag hidden by Lao Niu, then looked at the lip marks on his face, shook his head and said.
“I’m not here to catch you. It’s none of Ji’s business if you like looking for flowers and flowers. Just follow me somewhere.”
“What’s going on?”
Lao Niu was a little confused.
While Ji Yuan was talking, he looked towards the south of the city.
“It’s rare for a big city to pass by in the middle of the night without any wandering gods patrolling it. Don’t you think it’s strange?”
“Huh?”
Niu Batian was stunned for a moment. How could he pay attention to such a thing? Besides, it is a good thing for him not to have ghosts and gods, so as to avoid getting into trouble sometimes. Moreover, he had been in the brothel just now and couldn’t notice anything outside. Situation.
But after hearing what Mr. Ji said, Niu Batian naturally understood something.
“Yes, Luping City is not small…”
“Let’s go, now that I’ve met you, maybe you can be my thug if I encounter something difficult.”
Ji Yuan said seriously, amusing Lao Niu.
“Hey, hey, what did Mr. Ji say? You asked me to go east, but I will never go west, Old Niu! By the way, where is Brother Yan?”
“Let him sleep.”
“Oh.”
Lao Niu responded, seeing Ji Yuan walking out of the alley and moving forward, he hurried to follow.
. . .
There is a prosperous area in the south of the city. During the day, it is bustling with traffic and people, but at night it is very quiet. In the center is a City God’s Temple. The evergreen lights in the temple are still on, but the temple workers have already taken a rest.
Ji Yuan and Niu Batian walked all the way from Hualiu Street to here. They stood on the square in front of the temple and looked inside. The atmosphere of Shinto was indifferent, and the power of wish was scattered but not concentrated.
Ji Yuan opened his eyes to look, and saw bursts of light white smoke rising over the temple in front of him.
“Go in and have a look.”
The two took a few steps forward, crossed the temple courtyard with a slight leap, and then entered the temple like a breeze, skipping the side halls and heading straight to the main hall.
“Squeak…”
Pushing open the door, the ever-lasting lamp in the temple illuminates the main hall. In this dim light, the statue of the City God is still majestic, but in Ji Yuan’s eyes, it has no charm at all.
“Hey, it’s interesting. I am a monster and entered the main hall of the City God’s Temple. It’s interesting!”
Niu Batian was laughing beside him, but Ji Yuan’s expression was a little sad.
“The fire in the temple has been extinguished, and the ghost gate of the underworld has retreated. This temple has been empty for at least several months. Naturally, there are no ghosts and gods such as the city **** coming out to ask your sins. Unexpectedly, even Luping City has no ghosts and gods to protect it…”
This is indeed something beyond Ji Yuan’s expectation. Considering the size of Luping City, if the city **** is still there, Dao Xing should not be weak.
Niu Batian also saw the problem with the temple, but was just waiting for Ji Yuan’s words to make the final judgment.
“So, the city **** here has really died a long time ago?”
“Whether the gods have died, or whether they have severed their relationship with the Shinto, and lost the city god, the foundation of the other ghosts and gods has been greatly damaged. They should hide in the underworld and seal the gates of ghosts, waiting for the city **** to return.”
“Return?”
Ji Yuan nodded.
“The things of Shinto are extremely mysterious. If all living beings worship, the ghosts and gods will not die. Even if the **** of Luping City dies, as long as the people in the city continue to worship him, this **** will naturally disappear from the world in more than ten years or decades. The soul returned and took over the throne again.”
Although Niu Batian is a monster with a lot of experience, this is really the first time he has heard of this kind of thing. For him, this is a kind of secret.
“Doesn’t that mean that ghosts and gods will never die?”
“Haha, a rebirth is a beginning. I only remember the so-called ‘previous events’ in the hearts of believers and in temple records. I don’t remember the last incident with ghosts and gods. The Taoism, magic power, and golden body all start from the beginning. Is it truly immortal? Is that so? And if the Temple of the City God collapses, or if the emperor canonize it, or if a great man comes from the village and the people of the village re-elect the City God, then there will be no chance of his resurrection.”
Ji Yuan looked at Niu Batian’s thoughtful look and said with emotion.
“Putting your trust in humanity will harm humanity. Otherwise, why would the City God be so afraid of turmoil in the world? Being a great virtue is one, and caring about one’s own survival is another.”
But it was obvious that Niu Batian was not sighing, but thinking about another thing.
“Mr. Ji, if the city **** is lost and the underworld disappears, wouldn’t all mortals become lonely ghosts after death?”
Niu Batian imagined this scene. There were so many people in the city, and all the people who were born, old, sick and died turned into ghosts. Wouldn’t it be similar to Wuya Ghost City?
Ji Yuan had already turned around and left, and Niu Batian quickly followed, not forgetting to close the door of the City God’s Hall.
“A godless person has his own way of death. If there are family members to worship him, he will not be considered a lonely ghost. During the funeral, the soul-calling flags will be carried along with the relatives, and they will still have land to look after them when they go to the tomb and the grave. , there are also spiritual connections in the family, but it is difficult to connect with the underworld.”
While talking, the two of them had already left the City God’s Temple, but Ji Yuan obviously had no intention of going back to the inn directly. Instead, he took Niu Batian and walked directly into the city.
From the streets in the south of the city to the north of the city, it seems aimless.
In this silent night, the sound of clappers and gongs was accompanied by the sound of clappers and gongs, the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs in the streets and alleys, and even some gentlemen wandering around.
After half an hour, Niu Batian couldn’t bear it anymore.
“Mr. Ji, what are we doing?”
Ji Yuan kept his feet on his feet and faced forward without squinting.
“There’s not much Ji can do. I’m just going to patrol the streets on behalf of the Night Wandering God and take a look at Luping City…”
Niu Batian scratched his head, feeling that Mr. Ji was looking for trouble.
When the two of them walked to a street with several gambling houses, Ji Yuan and Niu Batian stopped in their tracks, and a faint evil aura filled the air.
“Is it true? Mr. Ji, I’ll take care of it, old cow.”
“No rush.”
Ji Yuan raised his hand to stop the competent thug who was about to rush over. The two waited on the street for a while and saw a carriage driving out, and the evil spirit was also entrenched on the carriage.
In Ji Yuan’s ears, he could still hear bursts of crying.
On the carriage, two ferocious servants were guarding the three or four children and two women in the carriage. They all had teardrops on their faces and panicked faces.
“Why are you arguing? Your men have already exported you all!”
“If you are crying, go to Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com and cry again! Be careful, I will chop you up and feed you to the dogs!”
One of the evil servants raised his short whip, and after scolding him, he looked at the corner of the car in a flattering manner.
“Uh-huh, Mr. Six, please forgive me, are you satisfied with these?”
“Hey hey hey…satisfied, of course I am satisfied!”
While speaking, the sixth master licked his lips, and his look scared the children to stop crying.
……
On the street outside the gambling house, Ji Yuan opened his eyes slightly and heard the sound inside the carriage.
“Humph, it’s not that enemies never get together! Do you still remember the monster in Wuya City who wanted to invite Gao Tianming to eat boys and girls? He is in the car, let’s chase him!”
Niu Batian blew out a wisp of white air from his nostrils and also showed a sinister smile.
“Moo…”
