Sword Energy Reaches the Heavens
Chapter 20 City God
Li Fan walked out of the inn, and Li Hongyi jumped out of the window.
"Miss Li, we are all children of the world..." Li Fan couldn't help but joked when he saw Li Hongyi looking a little embarrassed.
"Shut up." Li Hongyi said coldly, you bastard!
She shouldn't have been so kind last night and didn't think about what this bastard said in teasing her.
"Okay, okay, okay." Li Fan nodded with a smile and didn't mention it again.
Last night, he also saw Li Hongyi sleeping deeply on the table. He must have been tired. He didn't wake up after shouting, so he did it himself. Li Hongyi actually trusted him, and he slept so soundly.
If he does something bad... of course he is not that kind of person.
It's strange to say that the two of them have known each other for such a short time, but they actually trust each other.
During the day, Lin'an City has regained some vitality. Although it is not as prosperous as before, the shouts of street vendors and the opening of shops are full of life.
Ghosts do not dare to show their faces during the day, and demons and those who do dark deeds will be more restrained.
What's more, people also have to live.
While walking on the road, pedestrians were talking a lot. Li Fan had very good hearing, and he heard many people talking about the death of the second son of the Chen family and the county police officer Chen Zongzhi.
There is also news about Fulong Villa. It is said that County Lieutenant Cao Gong saw Fulong Villa sheltering demons with his own eyes. It is precisely because of this that County Lieutenant Cao Gong almost encountered an accident and is now recovering from his injuries.
Li Fan was stunned when he heard it, but he didn't kill him?
"This Fulong Villa is truly lawless."
"Girls have disappeared every day in Lin'an City recently. I'm afraid they have all been murdered in Fulong Villa. They have committed crimes." People on the street commented.
"I'm afraid the people have been deceived again." Li Hongyi still covered her face with a gauze. She looked at Li Fan and said, "Are you doing this so openly?"
"I'm honest." Li Fan responded, and Li Hongyi stared at him, so she wasn't honest anymore?
"Many people from the great sect cultivators have come to Lin'an City, and people from the Chen family's clan in Chuzhou City have also come."
Li Hongyi reminded, as the 'murderer' that pedestrians talk about, shouldn't he keep a lower profile?
"If we meet, it's just a good idea to see who will take action against me." Li Fan responded.
Those people should have guessed that he was a disciple of Li Shan. Whoever attacked him meant that he was coming for Li Shan, otherwise they would not dare to touch him.
But judging from what happened before, I'm afraid there is a big conspiracy behind it, and many forces are rushing to leave the mountain.
"Are you a disciple of Lishan?"
Li Hongyi asked, obviously guessing something.
"I don't know, I guess." Li Fan was noncommittal.
"I heard that Mount Li is very high?" Li Hongyi asked again. She had never been to that legendary place.
"Of course Lishan is 'high'." Li Fan nodded.
"Where are we going now?" Li Hongyi asked again.
"Us?" Li Fan looked at Li Hongyi: "Miss Li, aren't you going home yet?"
Have you been following him into trouble?
It doesn't matter to him, Li Hongyi is different from him after all.
Li Hongyi stopped and stood there looking at him quietly.
How many times? ?
"Shut up." Li Fan continued to move forward and said, "Miss Li, let's go to the City God's Temple?"
This time, the senior sister came out and nominally asked her to kill demons, but she had to find out whether the 'demon' was a human or a ghost.
You can deal with Li Shan if you want, but Li Shan cannot bear the crime of colluding with demons to rob women and bring trouble to the people.
"Okay." Li Hongyi gave Li Fan a knowing look and said, "Can you change the name?"
She doesn't like the name Miss Li.
rusty.
Li Fan was stunned and said: "Sister in red?"
Li Hongyi raised her eyebrows, with an evil aura between her brows.
Do you think she is old?
She is only nineteen this year!
"Red?" Li Fan asked again.
Li Hongyi: "..."
"It's still Miss Li."
Although Hong Yi was okay, she was a little too close.
They don't seem to be that familiar yet, right?
Well, probably not.
"Listen to Miss Li." Li Fan is very sensible, women are really troublesome.
…………
Lin'an County Town God's Temple is located in the south of the city. Hundreds of thousands of people in Lin'an City worship the Town God's Temple, so the Town God's Temple is very popular.
When Li Fan and Li Hongyi arrived at the City God's Temple, they saw many pilgrims coming to worship the City God today.
The demons are causing trouble and people are in panic. They hope to ask the city god to protect them.
"Is Lin'an County very wealthy?" Li Fan asked curiously as he looked at the majestic Chenghuang Temple in front of him.
"This generation of City Gods was once a highly respected old man in Lin'an County. He had a high prestige in the county. Big families generously donated money to build temples for them, and many people also donated money. This is how it reached its current scale," Li Hongyi said.
Although the ghost woman doubted the city god, it was completely contrary to what she knew. She hoped that he was not that bad.
Li Fan nodded without saying anything and walked into the City God's Temple.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing, so he came to see.
The Chenghuang Temple was very spacious, and many people were offering incense in the main hall. When Li Fan walked inside, he felt a yin energy coming from the floor.
"What a heavy yin energy." Li Fan thought to himself. Ordinary people may not feel it strongly, but practitioners are very sensitive to the yin and yang energy.
However, the city god is a ghost and god, and this is the residence of ghosts and gods, so it is normal for the yin energy to be heavy.
Li Fan raised his head and looked at the statue of the City God. It was an old man with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, smiling and having a peaceful face.
"Chenghuang was a person from Lin'an County during his lifetime. It is said that he was a filial son when he was young. Because his family was poor, he cut meat to feed his mother. Later, whenever disaster happened in Lin'an County, he would take the lead. Before his death, he donated all his money to the poor people, which was very popular. Respected." Li Hongyi introduced in a low voice.
Li Fan listened to his introduction and found out that the city god was a kind man during his lifetime, and then he became a ghost and god after his death and was worshiped by incense.
If that's the case, I can afford the incense.
"Are you two here to seek marriage?" At this time, a woman walked beside and asked with a smile.
Li Fan glanced at the other party, then smiled.
"Yes, what about you, aunt?"
Li Hongyi glanced at Li Fan silently.
"I came to ask for a grandson." The woman said with a smile: "Lord City God, it worked. The daughter-in-law of the Wang family next door to me had not been pregnant for several years. She stayed in the City God's Temple for one night, and then she became pregnant with a big fat boy. Many people in Lin'an County That’s what everyone does, I’ll give it a try first, and if it doesn’t work, I’ll ask my daughter-in-law to come and stay for one night.”
"Why don't you guys give it a try? The girl will definitely get pregnant soon." The woman looked at Li Hongyi with a smile. Li Hongyi couldn't hear this, and her face was burning under the scarf.
"No, we rely on ourselves." Li Fan said.
Li Hongyi: "???"
"Then you work so hard, I'll go first." The woman left with a smile.
Li Hongyi looked at Li Fan.
"Miss Li, we are all children of the world..." Li Fan said, and Li Hongyi turned her head away, too lazy to care.
Let it be...
At this time, outside the City God's Temple, an old man in ragged clothes slowly walked towards the City God's Temple. His body was stooped and his legs and feet seemed to be weak, but he still staggered over.
Before he entered the temple, he had already knelt on the ground, crawled and knelt into the temple, and murmured: "I ask the city god to bless my granddaughter to get rid of the disease as soon as possible."
The old man was extremely pious, kowtowing to the city god all the time, and enshrining the few copper plates he had on him into the merit box.
After that, the old man knelt and exited the Chenghuang Temple. Li Fan heard clearly that he had been repeating the same sentence since he was outside the temple.
Li Fan followed and asked: "Grandpa, I heard you praying to the City God to protect your granddaughter. Since you are suffering from illness, you should go to the hospital. Is it useful to pray to the City God?"
"Young man, you don't know something. The City God is a god. He once protected the old man. Now my granddaughter has a strange disease and refuses to see people. I am old and my ability is limited. I can only ask the City God to show his spirit again." The old man said sadly. road.
"Lord City God, has he protected you?" Li Fan asked again.
"Yes." The old man nodded and said, "My wife passed away early, and all my children were killed by evil spirits. Only my granddaughter and I were left to depend on each other. Later, I was also possessed by evil spirits, and my granddaughter had to come to beg the City God. ”
"Perhaps it was my granddaughter's sincerity that moved Lord Cheng Huang, and I got better after that. It must have been Lord Cheng Huang who appeared." The old man said.
"What about your granddaughter? What disease does she have?" Li Fan asked.
Hearing about his granddaughter, the old man seemed worried and sighed: "My granddaughter is weak. In order to take care of me, she lost her vitality. Now she likes to lock herself in the house during the day and only goes out at night. The old man comes to ask for help every day. Lord City God, Lord City God will definitely show up and cure my granddaughter."
"Locked in the house during the day?" Li Fan suddenly felt a sudden change in his face when he heard this, and asked, "Grandpa, is it after you recovered from your illness last time?"
"Yes." The old man said with some worry: "I hope she can get better soon. When she gets better, I will find a matchmaker to find a good family for her, so that the old man can die in peace."
As he spoke, the old man's eyes were moist. This was the only seedling he had left at home.
He is on the verge of death and may not have many days to live. If his granddaughter is not good, he will never die in peace!
"Stop talking, I'm going back. I'm afraid she'll be scared to be locked in the room alone, so I'll talk to her for a while." The old man said and turned around, hunched over and walking slowly.
Li Fan and Li Hongyi looked at the old man's back and looked at each other.
"Miss Li, let's go." Li Fan said, walking out of the City God's Temple.
"There is something weird in this City God's Temple." Li Fan looked back and Li Hongyi also frowned. Of course she felt it too.
Li Fan looked at the old man leaving in the distance. He raised his feet and said, "Go and see the old man's granddaughter and you will know the truth."
