This gaze was desolate and clear, as if there were mountains and rivers in it, and it was so deep that it was hard to see the bottom, but there was a hint of undisguised exhaustion.
It seems that he forced himself to open his eyes from a deep sleep.
As his eyes lit up, the darkness in the entire room seemed to be dispelled, and the air was suddenly filled with the smell of burning incense.
Sa Wuling and Yan Xiake were both shocked.
In the temple that was gradually lighting up, an old man with a square face, bronze complexion, tall figure like a warrior general on the battlefield, and long arms and legs sat cross-legged.
The old man's face was full of vicissitudes of life, and beneath his serious expression, there was a hint of deep exhaustion.
"Old City God..."
Yan Xiake knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily: "Thank you, Old City God, for your righteous action."
"You are already a body of bones, but you have done a good job of not forgetting the affairs of the world. There are only a handful of scholars with such a bloody spirit as you."
The old man's face softened slightly, and Yan Xiake stood up involuntarily as he flicked his sleeves.
"It's not your turn to kneel to me, it's my turn to kneel to you."
After saying that, Qin Wuyi also slowly stood up. The latter didn't have time to react, so he bowed long and dropped his sleeves to the ground:
"Qin Wuyi, thank you little friend for your help!"
"It shouldn't be done, it shouldn't be done."
Yan Xiake hurriedly avoided it, his body made a rattling sound, and he was excited.
After Qin Wuyi bowed for a long time, he slowly spoke:
"Deserve it, deem it..."
"I've seen the old city god."
Sa Wuling also gave a salute.
He also had a lot of respect for this old city god.
During the millennium when the Yinsi Netherworld lost contact, the maintenance of the Yinsi City God system was all tied to him.
Although he didn't do well enough, it didn't affect the respect in his heart.
"Who is that real person?"
Qin Wuyi looked at Sa Wuling faintly.
He was then sealed in the City God's Mansion, and he was not completely ignorant of the outside world. He was naturally aware of the battle at the Wanfa Altar in Xishan.
"That's the tutor."
Sa Wuling looked respectful:
"My teacher still has things to do, and he will definitely come to visit the Old City God later."
"It's my turn to pay a visit..."
Qin Wuyi floated out of the house.
Only then did the two of them see clearly.
Qin Wuyi's tall body was slightly stooped. Under the loose robe, his legs were still there, but there were no feet.
It was clearly as majestic as a mountain, but it made them feel a little unreal.
Like flowers in the mirror or the moon in the water, it seems close at hand and yet far away in the horizon.
"Old City God..."
Yan Xiake's heart skipped a beat.
"Only the third brother can bring the dead back to life. The fourth brother can do it. After all, I am far behind. I can't save you."
Qin Wuyi apologized slightly.
The Yuanshen is not omnipotent, and neither is the City God.
Now that contact with the Netherworld has been lost, even he can no longer send the ghost to the Netherworld for reincarnation, let alone the flesh and bones of the living dead.
"You don't have to say that. Life and death are determined by fate. The day when this junior steps into Qingdu City, I have already prepared for it, and my current condition is already good."
Yan Xiake shook his head, the will-o'-the-wisp swaying under his cloak, and seemed to have no emotional ups and downs.
"Well said."
Qin Wuyi smiled and seemed to let go of something.
He looked up at the sky where the afterglow was gradually setting, and sighed softly:
"It's been a long time since I've seen the light of day. The scenery is just right. I'm just about to go out for a walk..."
When Sa Wuling was slightly shocked, Qin Wuyi had already 'floated' out of the City God's Temple.
The two of them followed him out subconsciously.
Boom~
As the three of them walked out of the City God's Temple, they heard a loud noise.
Yan Xiake looked back and saw that the City God's Temple began to collapse in the earthquake. The earth, stone and wooden beams were suddenly filled with smoke and dust. In the blink of an eye, the huge City God's Temple no longer existed.
"Ashes return to dust, soil returns to soil, clay sculptures are clay sculptures after all, it is better to return to nothingness, return to nothingness..."
Facing the two people's astonishment, Qin Wuyi gave a long laugh and walked away.
He has no legs, and he is floating but also rising and falling at the same time, like a dragon walking and a tiger walking.
The two of them were stunned. Qin Wuyi had already reached the end of the long street, and then he hurriedly caught up.
But he couldn't hide the shock in his heart.
The City God's Temple is more than just dirt and gravel. Its roots lie in the City God's Mansion in the Incense Realm. It is extremely strong. A City God's Temple like Qin Wuyi's is equivalent to his incarnation in the Yang world. It is impossible for an idle person to destroy a tile.
At this moment, it was broken. There was only one possibility, that Qin Wuyi had taken away the City God's Mansion in his Incense Realm.
In other words, he is no longer a city god!
Or maybe, his time has come...
But no matter which possibility it is, it is a shocking event.
There are two streets beyond Chenghuang Street.
It is a famous night market in Qingdu City. Here, there are all kinds of snacks and delicacies from all over the world. It is also the most lively long street in Qingdu City at night.
Although it was only dusk at this time, there were already many vendors and stalls on this street.
Pedestrians also began to increase.
Some come in groups or alone, sitting at stalls tasting delicious food and talking loudly.
It's just that most of the discussions are similar, and they are all inseparable from the huge changes in Qingdu City in the past few years. These frequent celestial phenomena have made many people fearful and frightened.
No matter who it was, there seemed to be a hint of sadness on their face.
If it weren't for the fact that there were no casualties in several incidents, they would have no intention of coming out.
Sa Wuling and Yan Xiake accompanied Qin Wuyi as they strolled along the long street.
Watching Qin Wuyi eat from the street to the end of the alley, watching him bargain with the vendors, watching him comment like a gourmet...
This scene caused the two people's stereotyped impression of him to suddenly collapse.
They knew what the old city god was like.
It is said that this old city god is the most stubborn in his work. He will not accept anyone who seeks money and fortune, and will ignore anyone who is unfilial and unkind. No matter the court or dignitaries, he will treat them equally.
Even if their incense burns brightly, they never pay attention to it.
Because of this, what goes up and what follows follows, and most of the city gods in the world act like this. Of course, there are constraints from the underworld, and many of them are due to his influence.
"Yin gods can also eat, but because there is too much incense in the human world, the taste is lost. When the Yins are here, there are still Yin chefs who can cook delicious meals.
At that time, the tavern that Mr. Fu, Seventh Brother and the others liked to go to the most, had not been there for a long time..."
Qin Wuyi put down the bowl and chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth, and sighed:
"I haven't eaten these seemingly ordinary foods for you for one thousand six hundred and eighty years, four months and thirteen days..."
One thousand six hundred years......
Sa Wuling and Yan Xiake were both speechless.
With their current state of mind, they couldn't understand how long this was, let alone why he could pinpoint the date to the sky.
"Boss, let's settle the score."
Qin Wuyi took the money and rarely bargained.
Sa Wuling and two others followed behind.
However, he discovered that he was not going to the headquarters of the Tianyi Sect, but seemed to be leaving the city.
"Old City God, where are you going?"
Seeing the city gate approaching, Sa Wuling couldn't help but ask:
"Aren't you going to see my teacher?"
"I have to meet your teacher after all..."
Qin Wuyi said lightly:
"But before that, I want to meet someone else..."
"ah?"
Sa Wuling was slightly startled when he saw Qin Wuyi had already left the city gate and hurriedly followed him.
The drastic changes in the imperial city have not yet affected the city gates. The soldiers stationed at the city gates were guarding the city gates as usual. It was getting dark and the city gates were about to close. When Sa Wuling and the other three walked out, they were confused. care.
After leaving the city, Qin Wuyi was still in no hurry. As he walked, he seemed to look at everything he encountered.
This made Yan Xiake's heart become heavier and heavier.
The speed of the three of them was not very fast, but compared to ordinary people, it was already extremely fast. When the moon was full in the sky, Sa Wuling stepped on the snow and looked forward in the cold wind.
Then he saw Qin Wuyi stopping in front of a temple in a deserted mountain.
Under the starry sky, the mountains are covered with snow. This barren mountain is located in the northern suburbs of Qingdu. It is particularly desolate because there are many mass graves. In the distance, you can also see a charity village with lights on. .
This place is inaccessible, and the temples here naturally have little incense.
In fact, most of this temple has been destroyed. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is in ruins. It is only half a wall and half a statue.
"This is......."
Yan Xiake had some guesses.
Qin Wuyi stood in front of the ruined temple with his hands behind his back, reflecting the starlight, his face was slightly in a trance:
"This is my temple, the temple in front of the Chengdu City God. It's been more than a thousand years. If it weren't for my magical power to protect it, maybe even these ruins wouldn't exist..."
"Is this your temple?"
Sa Wuling was a little surprised.
"Before the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there were thousands of countries on this land, fighting against each other and the people were struggling to survive. Even if the prince came out to wipe out the evil spirit, sometimes people are more terrifying than ghosts...
Rogue bandits, horse bandits, evil cultivators, demonic cultivators, etc. are causing trouble. War breaks out from time to time, and countless people are displaced...
At that time, I started from a humble background and managed to make a name for myself by relying on my three-point martial arts skills. It can be regarded as a contribution to the local area. Villagers from several villages and towns built this temple for me after my death. ..."
Qin Wuyi spoke slowly, falling into memories:
"I have made some meritorious deeds in protecting this place, but the Yin God is not easy to do, and people are forgetful. The world gradually became peaceful, and I was forgotten... That day I met Mr. Fu, thanks to his inspiration, followed him and became a kid for a hundred years..."
Sa Wuling saw clearly that when Qin Wuyi said the last sentence, a strong look suddenly glowed in his eyes.
It's like a lost person suddenly found his soul.
He couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. What kind of person was the Lord of the Netherworld? After disappearing for more than a thousand years, he still made the old city god so awe-inspiring, or rather... envious!
"... Mr. Fu likes to eat donkey meat and drink two glasses of wine. The second brother is unsmiling and slovenly. The third brother is well-educated and the most gentle. The fourth brother has a bad temper and gets angry at the slightest thing. Shun Xin, shaking your hand is like a whip...
The eighth brother has a fierce face, a wide body and a fat body, a small face and a dark face, but he has a kind heart, but the seventh brother is the opposite...
He is the most murderous person in the world, bar none..."
Qin Wuyi seemed to be lost in memories, and seemed to be telling someone what he was talking about.
Sa Wuling and Yan Xiake were both silent, listening quietly.
They knew that these words were not meant for them. What Qin Wuyi needed was just someone to talk to, not what they needed to say.
After a long, long time, Qin Wuyi slowly stopped talking.
Looking at the boundless starry sky, I sighed:
"Brother Qi, I'm leaving, why don't you come and see me?"
Boom!
As soon as Qin Wuyi finished speaking, thunderbolts suddenly sounded in the starry sky.
It seems that the sky is angry about it.
Dark clouds visible to the naked eye suddenly rolled in, covering the stars and moon in an instant. Under the rolling thunder clouds, electric snakes danced wildly, roaring and roaring.
In an instant, sand and rocks were flying on the ground, and countless piles of snow were blown away by the strong wind all over the sky, like heavy snow whizzing down.
An indescribable feeling of depression suddenly filled the hearts of Sa Wuling and Yan Xiake.
"What's this?"
Yan Xiake's whole body crackled, and he felt that the power of heaven was vast, and he would be shattered into pieces in the next moment.
Sa Wuling was even more unbearable, his whole body was trembling, and almost his whole body fell into the mud.
God’s power!
God’s power!
In just an instant, all the creatures in the mountains in the northern suburbs and on the earth, whether hibernating or not, could not help but curl up and crawl towards the ground.
In Qingdu City, hearing the thunderclouds rolling, many people fled home in panic, and some even yelled.
And further away, all the ascetics in Qingzhou, even if they were in seclusion, woke up at this time, looked up at the sky, and their hearts were shaken.
"What a thief!"
Qin Wuyi's face turned livid and he gritted his teeth.
A loud bang was heard suddenly exploding from the depths of the void, followed by a cold and stern curse that overpowered the thunder in the sky:
"Bullshit, I'm sending my little brother on his last journey, and you have to take care of it?!"
"Does it bother you if I scream every day?"
boom!
An angry shout resounded across the sky and the earth, louder than thunder, causing the earth for thousands of miles to shake like a wave, shaking all the snow, sand, gravel and soil on the earth into the sky!
Earth-shattering!
Sa Wuling was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground, looking up in shock.
I saw a white palm suddenly protruding from the void.
The palm was pale and oozing, like a dead hand that had been soaked in water for many years. There was no light at all, which made people feel horrified when they saw it.
That's death!
The indescribably rich death energy!
Click~~~
As his palm stretched out, the thunder between heaven and earth suddenly became furious.
The dancing electric snake and thunder dragon swooped down in an instant, and thousands of thunderbolts rained down from the sky and covered the earth, carrying the power of destroying the world and heading straight towards the palm.
Stab~
When the thunder burst out, the palm finally came out.
Boom!
Thick white flames burst out from the palm one after another, turning into a boundless sea of fire that burned across the sky for thousands of miles.
The mighty death energy then spread, rushing up to the sky like the endless Milky Way.
Somewhere in the northern suburbs, An Qisheng sat cross-legged on the top of a mountain, looking at the sky.
I saw the majestic death energy intertwined vertically and horizontally, turning into mourning sticks that looked like iron but not iron, and looked like bamboo but not bamboo.
The mourning stick was so big that it looked like a mountain rising from the ground to the sky. It was huge in size.
Facing the electric snake and thunder dragon rolling down, it fiercely slapped towards the sky:
"kill!!!"
