Chapter 126 City God Temple

The City God Temple in Xiangu County is said to have a history of thousands of years and has been renovated several times...

The history of this temple is almost as old as that of this remote county...

In Xiangu County, there have always been some bizarre legends that have been passed down from generation to generation, telling the story of the City God of this City God Temple...

When the escort team arrived at the City God Temple, Ruan Fengshan was already waiting there!

As long as Ruan Fengshan was in Xiangu County, he would never miss this kind of ritual of worshiping the City God, unless others were not there, then the head of the group, Luan Jingfu, would preside over it on his behalf!

Ruan Fengshan knew very well that this kind of scene would increase his majesty and mystery in the hearts of the escort agents of the escort agency, so that they would not forget that they were the head of this escort agency!

Ruan Fengshan arrived at the City God Temple in advance and had asked Zhou An to arrange the sacrifices. He also gave some silver money to the temple priest in the temple as a servant's offering!

The escort team dismounted in front of the temple gate and followed Ruan Fengshan into the temple. Only Zhou An and a few others were guarding outside!

"May the City God bless us!"

In front of the incense table of the City God statue, there was a roasted suckling pig and two braised fat chickens!

Ruan Fengshan stood in front of the team and took the lead in holding incense and bowing!

All the escorts and porters followed Shan and shouted: "May the City God bless us!"

Then, everyone held incense and bowed in unison!

Then, people lined up in turn, put the incense in their hands into the incense burner on the table, and then walked around the statue of the City God, put their hands on the feet of the City God, and silently made a wish to the City God!

This is also a tradition passed down for thousands of years in Xiangu County. The two soles of the City God's feet have long been rubbed to a shiny black finish...

Soon, it was Duan Rong's turn. Duan Rong put the incense in his hand into the incense burner, bowed, and then walked around the incense table and stood under the statue of the City God!

Duan Rong looked up and saw that the statue of the City God was a stone sculpture with a dark color and even a few fine cracks with obvious signs of repair. Looking at this statue, I am afraid it has been there for many years.

Duan Rong imitated the escorts and placed his hands on the soles of the City God's feet, muttering: "May the City God bless you and have a safe journey! Monsters and ghosts, all retreat! All evil and dangerous things, avoid them all!"

Duan Rong was thinking, and suddenly his mind moved, and he secretly said: "Read the spirit of the instrument!"

Duan Rong lowered his head and looked at the set of data that appeared in front of him. His breathing stagnated and his mind was shaken!

Artifact: Stone statue of the City God

Weapon spirit level: Level 21

Devouring requirements: Host spiritual power level 21 (not met)

Devouring effect: Thousand-year incense (initial understanding of the power of the law of time)

"Level 21? The power of law?"

The level of the City God's weapon spirit refreshed Duan Rong's previous record of reading the highest level of weapon spirits. The highest level of weapon spirit before was the thousand-year-old ancient mulberry tree at the entrance of the City God Temple, and the weapon spirit level was level 15!

The City God is mighty! Duan Rong thought to himself.

The twenty-first level weapon spirit has almost nothing to do with him now! As for the power of law, Duan Rong has no idea what it is!

Just admire it, thinking about it is useless!

Duan Rong prayed to the City God again, and this time he was more pious!

After Duan Rong finished praying, he left the statue and walked to the side of the main hall entrance and stood there.

There were already some people standing there, and Ruan Fengshan was also standing at the door chatting with the temple keeper.

Ruan Fengshan looked at Duan Rong and said, "Duan Rong, if you encounter any problems along the way, please consult your master and Sun Biaotou more often, and don't act on your own!"

"Yes! Thank you for your advice!" Duan Rong said obediently.

Ruan Fengshan nodded and said, "We are old! In the future, the escort agency will rely on you young people to support it! Work hard, and you will have your own world!"

Duan Rong's face did not move, and he thought to himself: It's already a pie in the sky, isn't it a bit too fast! Your father is just going out for the first time!

Although Duan Rong thought so in his heart, his face was sincere, and he said, "Thank you for your teachings!"

Ruan Fengshan looked at Duan Rong and nodded.

After the escort team worshipped the City God, they said goodbye to Ruan Fengshan at the gate of the City God Temple and rode out of the East Gate!

Ruan Fengshan watched the escort team leave the city, and exchanged greetings with the temple priest, and then got into a sedan chair at the temple gate, and was carried by the sedan bearer back to the escort agency.

When the temple keeper saw Ruan Fengshan leave, he put the whisk in his hand behind his waist, hummed a little song with his hands behind his back, and turned into the temple. He glanced at the offerings on the incense table and swallowed his saliva.

These roast suckling pigs and braised chickens will be removed from the incense table at night, and then they will go into his stomach again...

No mistake, one sentence, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

After the escort team left the East Gate, they increased their speed a little, and raised a cloud of dust at the gate!

However, the escort team was not moving fast. In Duan Rong's opinion, it could even be said that it was a bit slow...

After all, their trip to Ruyang Prefecture would take a month to go back and forth. The important thing was not how fast they ran at the beginning, but to run the trip steadily. This was actually the same as running a marathon.

The escort team had only walked for a while when Duan Rong's eyes suddenly fixed on one of them.

This man was strong and sturdy, with broad shoulders. He sat on a black horse, looking like a small mountain.

Duan Rong stared at him, not because he was unusually strong, but because there was a black mole the size of a copper coin in the middle of his neck!

This black mole reminded him of the spirit of the oxtail knife he devoured in the yard where firewood was piled in the front yard more than ten days ago!

That spirit was the small success realm of the Five Tigers and Sheep Knife. When digesting and absorbing it, Duan Rong vaguely saw this majestic back and the black mole in his dream!

"Is this a bit of a coincidence?" Duan Rong thought in his heart.

"That's Liu Ao Escort Master!" Xiao Yu, who was beside Duan Rong, noticed his gaze and introduced him to him: "Liu Ao Escort Master has been escorting for more than ten years. Like you, he was selected from the chores disciples! Now he has reached the small success realm of the third level of inner breath!"

As Xiao Yu said this, she looked at Duan Rong with clear eyes. There was encouragement in her words.

"The third level of inner breath?" Duan Rong's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that another piece of information overlapped. He secretly said in his heart: It seems that the oxtail knife he devoured was eliminated from this person!

"He has a nickname in the escort team, called the Nine-Fingered Death Soldier!" Xiao Yu continued.

"Nine-Fingered Death Soldier?" Duan Rong was quite surprised by this nickname.

Xiao Yu saw Duan Rong's expression and smiled: "Once we encountered a robbery, the opponent was quite strong, and we lost several escorts! The escort Liu Ao was protecting the truck, and his right little finger was cut off, but he still fought to the death, so he got this nickname!"

Xiao Yu said, her face changed slightly, as if the scene of the bloody battle at that time flashed before her eyes again.

Duan Rong's eyes moved, and he recalled that the oxtail knife he swallowed, the damaged oxtail knife handle, was cut off by one-third, and it seemed that it was in that battle that the little finger was cut off together!

Liu Ao, who was in the front of the team, seemed to hear Xiao Yu talking about him. He looked back and his eyes swept over Xiao Yu and Duan Rong!

Liu Ao had a strong chin, a straight nose, and cold eyes, like the gaze of a beast patrolling its territory.

Duan Rong's face was stern, and he thought to himself: The physiognomy book says that a mole in the middle of the back of the neck is commonly known as a monkey riding on the neck, which is a very ominous sign! And this man's appearance is so fierce, I'm afraid it has fulfilled the prophecy in the physiognomy book...
