Chapter 163

163 "There's no need for us to be so distant. An Wensheng, why do you have to do this?"

Hearing An Wensheng's sudden words, the old Taoist priest, whose eyes were shining, immediately stopped.

Based on his understanding of An Wensheng, he knew that something bad would happen when the City God opened his mouth. His disciple's cough just now reminded him of this.

After all, they are family members and can see clearly at the critical moment. An Wensheng suddenly appeared in Ping'an Temple in broad daylight. He was not just coming back to visit his relatives. He was wearing gold and silver and it turned out that he was trying to trick the old Taoist priest.

Wait a minute, I haven't dealt with my business yet.

Xiang Jiannan's idea was not much different from Gao Yu'an's. When he heard An Wensheng offer a large sum of money to ask the old Taoist priest for his approval first, he also felt that the City God had bad intentions.

How many days have you been in the capital county, and you're already tired of being lonely? Go back and fool your own people.

The pendants on his body seemed to be worth a lot of money, but he bet all of them right away. Anyone would think twice, especially the old Taoist priest.

The master is a little greedy, but he will never lose his mind because of money.

"You, Gaoyou An, must personally take charge of this matter. Of course, the young Taoist priest must also take charge. I don't trust anyone else."

He did not shy away from the ghost officials around him when he spoke, and ordered them to hold the black umbrella higher. An Wensheng then flicked his sleeves and a document appeared out of thin air: "I have found many problems since I took office. The previous city god does not look clean."

"As an official, it is inevitable that things will happen. It is enough for you to understand them clearly."

When he said this to An Wensheng, he didn't quite believe it. Thinking that the City God was eating offerings from all directions, Gao Yuan reached out and took the document.

They lowered their bodies and watched together with the young Taoist priest. After contemplating for a long time, the master and disciple raised their heads again.

"I don't understand what's written."

"I don't understand this side either. The document in your hands was found by me not long after I arrived in Shou County. I suspect that the previous city god was forcibly shaping the golden body."

Can a golden body be forcibly created?

Confused by An Wensheng's words, Xiang Jiannan gave up after he finished speaking, thinking that he couldn't understand the characters on the document anyway.

The old master won't last long. The words on the document have nothing to do with the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even if Chen Jingxuan were to take over, he wouldn't be able to make sense of it.

"How do you know?"

He returned the document to An Wensheng. He didn't know where he got this judgment. Gao Yuan couldn't help but look at the several ghost officials around him while he was speaking.

As officials serving the previous City God, they should know a little bit that forcibly building a golden body is a big deal and it is not easy to hide it from their ghost officials.

"Is the old Taoist priest doubting us?"

Seeing Gao Yuan looking at him, the bearded ghost immediately spoke as a representative, saying,

"Our current seating arrangements were all arranged by the City God. How could we have the guts to hide anything from him?"

"As for the matter of the previous City God forcibly building a golden body, we are indeed completely unaware of it."

"I, the Taoist priest, have not had a very good vision recently, so please don't misunderstand me."

Seeing An Wensheng nod to him, Gao Yuan immediately continued to analyze:

"It is not easy to forcibly build a golden body. It is impossible without someone's help."

"The offerings from all directions are continuous. As a city god, it is unlikely that I would be willing to take this risk."

"unless."

"Unless he can't wait."

"How did you find out?"

"It's very simple. Just turn the document over and you will see a line of small characters on it. The content is easy to understand and anyone who can read will recognize it."

“.”

"Leave all the valuables on you, and take these ghost messengers back to Shou County."

"Why are you taking off your clothes in broad daylight? I, an old Taoist priest, don't like you, a dead ghost. There are beads in your clothes!"

Forcibly shaping a golden body is a taboo, and it has never happened in the Zhou Dynasty for so many years.

After seeing off An Wensheng and other ghost messengers, Xiang Jiannan saw that his master was holding documents all day long.

The document was left behind by An Wensheng when he left. Although the old Taoist did not open it after receiving it, he kept it carefully against his chest.

It was not until dinner time that he formally told me what it meant to forcibly create a golden body. To put it bluntly, it was to use illegal means to quickly improve one's own cultivation.

Every City God who holds a divine position has his own golden body. The level of his cultivation depends mainly on the extent to which he can shape his golden body.

This kind of thing should only be a matter of time. The more popular the incense is, the faster the golden body will be shaped.

However, there are always some people with ulterior motives who are not satisfied with the current speed of creating the golden body. If they are not careful, they may take risks and have bad intentions.

In addition to keeping the incense burning more and more vigorously, there is another way to influence the shaping of the golden body. Compared with sitting there and receiving the power of cultivation from people's incense, this method seems rough and has room for manipulation.

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

That is to improve performance.

The daily task of the City God is to protect the safety of the area under his jurisdiction, and all his work is to capture ghosts, monsters and evil spirits.

This kind of thing doesn't happen every day. With the imperial court in place, even in a world where they can coexist like the Zhou Dynasty, performance cannot be achieved just by wanting to.

So there is a solution, self-sufficiency.

Creating trouble by yourself and then brushing it off is a simpler and more direct method than simply accepting offerings, and it can also promote the further expansion of incense.

Since it is difficult to create monsters and demons yourself, then just choose lifeless corpses that can only be manipulated by you.

Raise corpse.

The offerings from burning incense are long-lasting, but taming the dead bodies that are not tolerated by heaven and earth is a great achievement.

This is what An Wensheng mentioned.

He suspected that the previous City God had been doing such unjust things, and that there was a larger organization behind him.

The original tentative target was Di Zong, but when the master heard it, he directly denied it.

Although those old Taoist priests of Di Zong are not worth much, they would not use such despicable means.

The cultivators in the world check and balance each other, it is impossible for them to allow you to do such things, and collude with the city god of a prefecture.

It is possible that small sects act stealthily.

"The previous City God is no longer around. What's the point of investigating this? Is it that serious?"

While eating, he listened to the master talking about the wrongness of raising corpses. He felt that the matter could come to an end. Xiang Jiannan didn't know why the old Taoist priest was so concerned about it.

"The City God is gone, but those who did this with him may not stop."

"I was saying that our town hasn't been very peaceful recently. Maybe it has something to do with this kind of thing."

"Where are we going to investigate?"

It sounded like he had no clue, and Xiang Jiannan then asked, holding the bowl without being too nervous.

Ping An Temple is sometimes like a detective agency, and I have always had something to say about this.

I just wanted to cultivate myself into an immortal in peace and quiet, but I didn't expect the road to become more and more tortuous.

"My disciple, do you still remember what you said before? You can start with Li Jin."

"I just don't know where this person has been hiding recently. After dinner, I will calculate it carefully."
