Su Che put on his night clothes and a face scarf, carrying a long knife on each side, a short knife hidden behind his waist, a sword box on his back, and Huang Tiandao's soul-sealing rope hidden in his sleeve.
It looks like the weapons shop is moving.
The Chenghuang Temple in Shanyin County is located at the east end of the county.
The earth has land, the mountains have mountain gods, and the city naturally has gods, which are the city gods.
The river gods and mountain gods of Mingchuan Mountain were all canonized by the imperial court in name, and the city god was no exception.
This is the real embodiment of the majesty of the imperial court and the so-called "to the extremes of the world, I will not accept my concubines".
Of course, this is just a theory.
Quite a few of the canonized gods are "water ghosts promoted to city gods", which are the result of "wanting to be promoted, killing people, setting fires, etc.".
The same is true for the City God of Shanyin County.
Su Che looked through the county annals and found that the local city god of Shanyin was originally a fierce general who died in battle hundreds of years ago. After his death, he turned into a ghost and was later named the city god.
Although the county annals are covert, one can vaguely see the clear record of the perpetrator.
In the "Xuanzhongji" compiled by Tiqi, it is even clearer: "A ghost becomes a god if it is powerful, and a demon spirit becomes a saint."
This fierce general and Li Gui became a city god who has received the incense from Shanyin County for hundreds of years, and he can be considered conscientious in his work. The miracles of this person can often be seen in the "Shanyin County Chronicle".
That is to say, what monsters have been eliminated and what evil spirits have been destroyed.
Until this old Black Mountain monster from Xuanshan was offended decades ago and finally died at his hands, the "County Chronicle" is unclear about what happened during this period.
The reason why I think so is because the author is afraid that the city god is gone and the old monster from Montenegro is still running rampant.
I'm afraid that the old monster from Montenegro will regard him as the remnants of the City God and take revenge.
After the City God was destroyed by the old monster from Heishan, there was no City God left in Shanyin County.
The City God's Temple gradually fell into disuse.
Chenghuang temples in various places are generally the most prosperous places in the local area and can be regarded as the commercial center. With the protection of the gods, there is a constant flow of pilgrims and temple fairs in the four seasons, providing a steady flow of tourists.
Apparently there is no such treatment near the Chenghuang Temple in Shanyin County.
With the passing of the City God, the clay puppets in the City God's Temple were naturally unable to meet the needs of the people of Shanyin to pray for blessings and eliminate disasters. Once the passenger flow disappeared, only the empty courtyard walls remained.
A few stubborn weeds sprouted between the broken tiles of the short building, and the moonlight was swallowing in the gaps between the broken tiles and broken bricks. The starlight shines on the locked door, and the lines on the wooden boards have exposed wooden thorns due to the wind and sun.
Su Che walked on the dilapidated streets, where the prosperity of the past could still be vaguely seen, but it was also easy to wake up from a long dream, and all he saw was a bleak and lonely reality.
Not far away, there is the main entrance of the City God Temple.
The dark door is locked, and only the three-character plaque "Chenghuang Temple" on the top indicates the identity of this place.
Suche stopped.
There is someone in front.
Four big men in black clothes and masked faces, each armed with a sword, stood at the entrance of the City God's Temple with eyes like eagles.
Suche felt something was wrong.
Which group of people is this?
The men of the coffin shop Song Qi, Tiqi who secretly sneaked into Shanyin County, or the Jianghu people who came to try their luck after hearing the news?
Suche was not quite sure.
"Friends, we are doing business in front of us, wandering around in the world, each going his own way."
Young Master Su didn't say anything, but someone with sharp eyes over there had already noticed the clues and spoke directly.
"I am Liu Yidao, but you are Boss Song's subordinates?"
The colleague who took the lead in speaking did not speak, and the other three looked at each other, as if they were a little unsure.
What's going on with this little fox? The place we picked is so lively. Is everyone doing business at the Chenghuang Temple?
"But it turns out it's Brother Liu. Brothers are here to do business. Brother Yidao, please wait for a moment."
It really happened. Su Che frowned and touched the handle of the knife at his waist.
These few people are similar to me, and they don't look like kind people.
"Your mother Liu Yidao, Liu Shidao should also be kept by me."
The one among the four took action first. He took off a pair of divination crutches from his waist and greeted Suche directly.
A pair of short crutches came in the wind, and the other three people also picked up their weapons and flew up.
This group of people obviously have skills.
A mourning sword, a pair of short crutches, a mandarin duck ax and a copper hammer.
The four of them arrived with their weapons in an instant.
Suche held the handle of the knife with both hands and shook his strength.
I silently said "please" in my heart.
The already surrendered sword box moved slightly.
There was a flash of light, and the arms of the man in black who was rushing forward holding crutches were severed at the elbows, and blood spurted out like a fountain.
"Daomang!"
"What a powerful sword power!"
"Seventh-grade master, retreat quickly."
The remaining three people managed to resist the momentum and retreated violently.
"Your mother, are you messing with your Master Liu?"
Su Che stepped forward with his sword, flicked the blade, and made a scar on the crutched man's throat.
"Laojiu!"
One of them shouted uncontrollably.
"Scream!"
Su Che made a false move in that direction, silently reciting the word "please" in his heart.
The sword box moved slightly, and another ray of light flashed through.
The masked man holding a copper hammer immediately cut off half of his face, and blood mixed with brains sprinkled into the night.
Under the moonlight, Young Master Su stood with a knife in hand, looking like a murderer.
These four people looked scary. If you look closely, they were only at the ninth level of martial arts. When they met me with krypton gold equipment, it was all for nothing.
"please."
Suche looked at the person who started talking to him, thought silently in his heart again, and made a knife-raising motion with his hand.
The light moved again, but the man held the mandarin duck and let out a long sigh of relief.
He did keep his head.
A man wearing black clothes and a mysterious wooden mask stood in front of him.
The sword flashed past, and the man made a sound of gold and iron clashing, and he actually withstood Su Che's sword with his physical body.
The advantage of using the sword-sacrifice method to draw the sword is that the light of the sword is silent when it is drawn out of the sheath, and a monster like Dumu will be hit hard without noticing.
However, the lethality is definitely far inferior to that of holding a sword in person. Against a defensive seventh-level master like Gu Yin, the effect is almost useless.
"My friend, our brothers are here to do business. If there was any conflict before, please forgive me."
The man who took Su Che's blow with his body said this, his voice was hoarse, and his words were like gold and iron rubbing against each other.
"My friend took the lives of two of my brothers, so this debt can be settled anyway. As I said, the road is heading towards the sky, how about we each go to one side?"
"The lives of your two brothers are really worthless. Why don't you ask Uncle Liu to pay for the coffin?"
Suche looked at the man in front of him: "You are so easy to talk to, are you afraid that I don't know that you can't beat me?"
"Then I will know Brother Liu."
The man stretched out his hand and waved behind him: "You go inside first, you can't get in the way."
Yuanyang Yue and Sangmen Jian looked at each other, jumped up together, and climbed into the courtyard wall.
