"Do you feel a little desperate?" Zhang Zongchang looked at the four silent people and said softly.
Feeling the domineering aura emanating from the other party, Qi Zhen, who fell to the ground, finally understood where the inexplicable aura came from.
It turns out that there is a third stage in this battle!
The broadsword has always been placed on the legs of the statue in the Temple of the City God. The people only knew from the mouth of the temple priest that the City God was a general with outstanding military exploits during his lifetime.
But no one could have thought that this sword was really the sword of the City God in his previous life!
Qi Zhen had doubts when she first arrived here, but she could not imagine that this was the key to forcing the battle to enter the third stage.
Zhang Zongchang's clothes were swaying. At this time, he didn't look like a ghost god in the city, but like he had transformed back into the general galloping on the battlefield.
Qi Zhen wiped away the nosebleed and asked the old man who looked like a demon: "There is still one thing I don't understand."
"But it doesn't matter."
"What exactly is this teapot?"
Whether it was Zhang Zongchang's abnormal behavior in the wine cellar or the handing over of the teapot to spare the lives of Qi Zhen and several others, it means that this teapot is of great significance to Zhang Zongchang.
"This thing originally belonged to me." Zhang Zongchang said without hurrying to take action.
"Although it is not my destiny, it is the foundation of my status as the City God. I have been looking for it for a long time."
"If it is such an important thing, how could it fall into our hands?" Qi Zhen asked.
Zhang Zongchang is not afraid that the four of Qi Zhen have other thoughts. In the face of absolute power, any conspiracy and trick will be very pale.
So it began to tell Qi Zhen and the others about the ins and outs of the teapot.
And the team also knew the past and present life of this teapot for the first time.
This teapot has been with Zhang Zongchang since he took office. However, the sad thing is that he can only rely on his status as City God to continuously pour his own fairy power into the teapot, but he has no way to control the teapot.
Not even able to touch the teapot.
But this has absolutely no impact on ordinary people.
In order to prevent the teapot from being lost or stolen by someone who was interested, he thought of a way to hide the teapot in the Duobao Pavilion of the Zhang family, which was the second wife's house.
Unfortunately, a few months ago, this seemingly inconspicuous teapot was secretly taken away by a servant as a treasure and ran away!
When he found the escaped servant, he found out that the teapot had been resold, and he didn't know where it was now.
Zhang Zongchang even felt a hint of despair in his heart.
Once the Heaven Realm learns of this, it is not yet known whether he will be able to re-enter the six realms of reincarnation, not to mention that there is a slight possibility that he will be appointed to another duty department after his term is over.
On the one hand, he was looking for a way to survive, and on the other hand, he began to search frantically for this teapot.
The former determines how long he can live, and the latter determines how long he can live.
One is an issue of ability, and the other is an issue of willingness. Of course, this desire does not refer to himself.
He began to appear frequently around Wuhu and asked all the bandits in his jurisdiction to help him find this thing.
He did not dare to talk about this matter with his subordinates, fearing that whoever talked too much would be discovered by the heavens.
He encouraged Zhang Dacai to go to Wuhu to buy cigarettes, and also ordered others to create difficulties for Zhang Dacai on the way so that he could go slower on the road.
This way you can have enough time to do this.
What he didn't expect was that the teapot was first resold to Yixing, and then purchased by Li San. After going around, it was brought back to Wuhu by Qi Zhen and others.
"The name of this pot is Zhenlong Pot." Zhang Zongchang said.
"As the name suggests, his role is to suppress the evil dragon of the Yangtze River. People in the world always think that the Yangtze River is free of floods because of me. Who knows that it is actually just this small purple clay pot?"
Everyone's hearts suddenly became enlightened.
"So the weather here is extremely cold, not because of your renewal of life..." Qi Zhen said.
"How do I have such an ability? This is all because the dragon-suppressing pot has not been nourished by the immortal energy for a long time, causing the evil dragon in the Yangtze River to start making trouble again." Zhang Zongchang sighed.
It all started when the city god's centenary deadline was approaching.
Because of Zhang Dacai's family, Zhang Zongchang didn't want to die, so he decided to use the body of a ghost to find a way to change his destiny.
When he obtained the secret method and started to implement it, the Dragon Suppressing Pot, a key item for the City God to perform his duties, was lost. Seeing that the feng shui of this place was changing, he mobilized humans to start looking for this object, and encouraged Zhang Dacai to go to Ningbo.
At that time, Qi Zhen's team passed through Yixing, and the Zhenlong Pot was purchased by Li San.
A group of people came to Liyang to spend the night, and met Lin Xi, a ghost who was trying to survive without knowing his true identity, Xiao Ao, a local who tried to stop Lin Xi from doing anything, Zhang Dacai and Huang Wenbiao, a bandit who had returned home.
Lin Xiao escorted Lin Xi away, followed closely by Xiao Ao, Li San and Huang Wenbiao.
The others followed Zhang Dacai back to Wuhu, but were reminded by Xiao Ao who was chasing Lin Xi unsuccessfully.
In Jiuzi, Lin Xiao and Lin Xi died. After the team reunited, they saw Xiao Ao learning about Cheng Huang's plan.
Later, he entered the Zhang Mansion and threw himself into a trap. He found that the housekeeper Zongshu was abnormal. He went to the Chenghuang Temple the next day and concluded that Zongshu's identity was suspicious.
When he went to Zhang's Mansion again, a fierce battle broke out, and Li San died unfortunately. Zhang Zongchang was shocked when he saw the teapot and ran away.
The team entered the City God's Temple at night, and the battle entered the final stage.
Everything is clear and clear.
"I know you are actually just scaring us. I think both of our companions have died in your hands. I wonder how many good deeds you have to do to reverse this loss of morality?" Qi Zhen asked.
"After the Zhang family's battle, my fate was actually destined to be hopeless."
"But I still can't bear the people's livelihood in this place to be in decline again, and people dying of hunger everywhere, so I ask you to return the Zhenlong Pot to me." Zhang Zongchang said.
"No." Qi Zhen shook her head, "Because it's hard for us to believe you."
This story is complete and very logical in every aspect. However, neither Qi Zhen nor the rest of the team can believe anything the other party says at this moment.
The story of the boy who cried wolf teaches us that when you start to cheat habitually, none of your words are worthy of belief.
If this dragon-suppressing pot is really so magical, why didn't the system give any prompts when Qi Zhen held it in her hand?
If it is really so miraculous, is there a possibility that Zhang Zongchang just wanted to deceive the teapot, and then recover from his injuries, and his moral integrity is no longer defective, and the killing of Qi Zhen and others will not even bear any psychological burden?
Or maybe these stories are all true, and he is just hiding part of it, and this part will lead to the final result developing in a direction that no one can predict?
