Chapter 90: Night Parade of One Hundred Demons

090 One Hundred Demons Night Parade

"Taoist, are you telling the truth?"

Almost instantly jumping up from his chair, the bearded man looked at Xiang Jiannan and said with gritted teeth: "You lost something so important."

Just as he was about to give the trembling little Taoist a lecture, he was stopped by the City God who was thinking beside him: "Forget it, it's lost, it's lost, I guess we have no chance of getting the seal."

"Judge Cui, please take the young Taoist priest out first."

After saying that, he turned around on the spot, turned into powder, and disappeared from the sight of the two. When Xiang Jiannan opened his eyes again, he found that he was standing at the entrance of the City God Temple. The position was wrong and he was blocking the road.

Is that it?

Looking at the pilgrims coming and going, Xiang Jiannan reacted and wanted to escape. He was not the kind of person who would stick to his own opinions. Now that his things were lost, there seemed to be no point in staying here. He was kicked out by the City God and had to go back and wait for his master to decide his fate.

"Where are you going?"

Helpless, he wanted to go back to the inn. Just after taking a few steps, Xiang Jiannan suddenly heard the voice of the bearded man. He looked behind him and saw him standing under the shade of a tree staring at him. Unlike before, he had changed into official uniform this time.

"Go back to the inn."

He answered loudly to the bearded man. When Xiang Jiannan spoke, he found that all the pilgrims around him were looking at him at once. He saw the bearded man's figure floating under the shade of the tree, and then he smiled embarrassedly.

These people must have thought that he had mental problems, especially the one who was closest to him. He immediately changed his seat in surprise. It was not until he ran to the bearded man in shame that the extremely awkward atmosphere was relieved.

None of them could see the beard and didn't think of it when they spoke.

"The City God hasn't come out yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Signaling Xiang Jiannan to stay still as they had something to discuss, the bearded man seemed unable to hold back after enduring for a long time, and taking advantage of the interval before the City God appeared, he scolded the young Taoist priest again, chattering on and on, as if the young Taoist priest had done something that was against the will of heaven.

"If you work for me, I will not let you off tonight."

Who the hell wants this! Being scolded by the bearded man, Xiang Jiannan was speechless the whole time. He felt that he must have been very annoying when he was alive. He didn't deserve his appearance. He talked like a woman. But he couldn't get angry. In front of so many pilgrims, he could only continue to endure it.

He thought that the matter was not as serious as the bearded man said. From the moment he discovered that the seal was lost, a bold idea emerged in his mind: could it be that the City God had secretly taken it away, and everything he did afterwards was just to put on a show in front of him.

Although he had not guessed the reason why the City God did such a thing, Xiang Jiannan still believed in his own judgment. Before he met the bearded man, the seal was clearly on his body. How could someone steal it from him when he turned around and entered the house? You have to know that he is now at the second level of the Dao Fruit Realm. No matter how fast the thief is, he is just an ordinary person after all. It is impossible for him not to notice anything.

Suddenly~~~~ Xiang Jiannan was standing under the shade of a tree and thinking in his mind. He felt several gusts of cold wind blowing from the east and west. He turned his head and looked to the side, and found that two teams of people appeared on the street not far away. The one walking in the front was the City God, who was dressed in formal attire and took solid steps.

As they approached from both sides at the same time, the originally bustling pilgrims seemed to sense something and shrank their bodies unconsciously, looking up at the night sky.

"Why did it suddenly become cold?"

"Lord City God, what does this mean?"

Seeing the two teams marching through the crowd, Xiang Jiannan asked softly in astonishment.

The number of pilgrims was decreasing at a visibly rapid rate, and they all seemed to have sensed that something was wrong.

"Looking for someone, this City God cannot sit idly by."

When he came to Xiang Jiannan, his voice was still gentle, and the face of the City God was full of indignation: "It's okay to take some tribute on normal days, but this time, you must not let me off easily."

After saying this, seeing that Xiang Jiannan still hadn't reacted, he immediately started to explain: "The seal is a small matter. The main thing is that I hate this kind of person."

After all, he is a government official, and his words are very sophisticated.

Seeing that the City God was actually looking for the seal under the pretext of rectification, Xiang Jiannan secretly said in his heart: "Great!"

In this case, the seal may not necessarily have been secretly taken away by the City God. Judging from his current behavior, it seems that he has not done it. But there is one thing he wants to explain again. The seal may not have been stolen. He just took it away to find a acceptable reason.

"search!"

When most of the pilgrims who came to worship had left, the City God gave an order to the ghost messengers gathered around him, and suddenly figures were seen shuttling back and forth. When Xiang Jiannan came to his senses, the City God and the bearded man were the only ones left by his side.

Hundreds of ghosts are out on the streets, and the scene is shocking.

"There will definitely be a result before dawn."

Accompanying Xiang Jiannan as they wandered aimlessly on the streets, the City God seemed very confident that he would find the thief. Such a swift and decisive approach also opened the eyes of the young Taoist priest who met him for the first time.

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

You really can't go out for a stroll late at night. Ever since the ghost was released, the streets you pass by soon became empty of human voices, except for the guard dogs hiding in the dark barking from time to time. Everywhere you can see becomes deserted.

What kind of method is this? You don’t even know what a seal looks like.

Following the City God with his eyes never moving, Xiang Jiannan opened his mouth several times but did not have the courage. His gentle temperament seemed fake, but this was not something a soft-hearted person could do.

The man and two ghosts quickly walked across another street. When a three-way intersection appeared in front of them, all the moving ghost officials stopped.

"Found it, it's just ahead."

How did he find it so quickly? Seeing the City God stop and turn around to say something to him, Xiang Jiannan couldn't help but feel suspicious.

It was really stolen by a thief. How can such a thing be confirmed? Puzzled, I followed the City God into an alley and saw a frail man kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.

His expression was terrified, and it was obvious that he could see the group of ghost officials surrounding him.

“Mercy!”

After the City God appeared, the thin man kneeling on the ground bowed his head and his voice became fading. After bowing his head more than ten times, he finally couldn't bear it anymore. His body went limp and he collapsed to the ground completely. Then the bearded ghost pointed at him with a pen, and soon, the lost seal appeared in front of everyone.

"How to deal with it?"

He handed the seal to the City God with both hands, and the bearded ghost pointed at the man on the ground and asked. After getting permission from his superior, he raised his hand and waved in the air, and then a puff of black smoke floated out from the man.

As soon as the black smoke appeared, the surrounding ghost officials immediately started to scramble for food.
