Chapter 1301
His hand strength was ingenious; this object passed through the curling white smoke above the incense burner, seemingly stalling for a moment, before landing on the offering table with a "pa" sound. It looked a bit like a pen tube, with a metallic luster throughout, and an oval crystal embedded in the middle.
The offering table of the Puyin Temple was not large, and the tube rolled a few times, almost falling off.
Almost.
Rolling to the edge of the table, it suddenly stopped, motionless, ignoring inertia.
The smoke coming out of the incense burner suddenly straightened.
Everyone felt the surrounding temperature drop by several degrees, and a chill seeped through their backs.
Two wisps of smoke columns turned a corner and suddenly darted into the temple keeper's nose.
Then his eyes straightened.
"You two." He beckoned to He Lingchuan and Dong Rui, "Come in."
The temple keeper's voice had changed, low and majestic.
Garrison Commander Yang was startled, turned his head to look, and saw that the fear had been removed from the temple keeper's face, replaced by an indifferent expression and hollow eyes.
"God Puyin!" He understood and immediately saluted, "God Puyin, the lives of the old and young in the city are in danger, I beg you..."
"They will turn from danger to safety." God Puyin said indifferently, "Step back."
The deity finally responded to him! Garrison Commander Yang was overjoyed:
"Yes! After repelling the villains, I will definitely come to offer again!"
God Puyin didn't say a word, just waved its hand, ordering him to leave.
Garrison Commander Yang looked at He Lingchuan and his companion again, then quickly left with the five guards.
The deity had descended and specifically asked to see these two, so how could he block them?
Besides, he wasn't blind. If the things these two offered hadn't made the heavenly god unable to refuse, how could God Puyin have manifested? And how could he have gotten the blessing of God Puyin by the way?
He had indeed thought they were Zhao army assassins when he first saw the masks. But thinking back, it didn't seem like it.
Who couldn't wear this kind of mask? Sigh, he had bowed and prayed in the temple before, no matter how sincere he was, the statue had no reaction.
He thought the heavenly god hadn't heard.
Now it seemed that it was really as the temple keeper said, the heavenly god heard and saw everything, it just didn't express its stance.
No matter how much he bowed until his head bled, the deity didn't care.
Yang Meng sighed inwardly. The world is fickle, even the gods are like this.
He Lingchuan was not in a hurry to enter the temple, but stared at Garrison Commander Yang's back and observed for a good while.
Dong Rui asked him: "What?"
He Lingchuan withdrew his gaze and shook his head: "Nothing."
At this time, the daylight was just right, and the sunlight shone on the open space in front of the temple without obstruction. So He Lingchuan clearly saw that a faint golden thread was also stuck on Garrison Commander Yang's shoulder, with the other end pointing to the temple behind him.
It seemed that what the temple keeper said was not all nonsense; Garrison Commander Yang had indeed received the attention of God Puyin.
That meant it felt this person was worth observing.
Subsequently, He Lingchuan and Dong Rui walked into the temple.
With a light creak, the temple gate and the small wooden windows closed by themselves.
He Lingchuan looked up at the statue.
The statue of God Puyin was also human-shaped, but with two horns on its head, bare-chested, riding on a giant bear, with a wild and uninhibited overall style. Compared with the elegant and dignified image of the Lingxu gods, it was clearly on a different path.
"What is your background?" The temple keeper, controlled by a wisp of God Puyin's divine sense, turned around and stared at the two, "Bringing the Punishment Dragon Pillar here, what are you seeking?"
These two brought the Punishment Dragon Pillar to find it, but were wearing masks, so of course they were not its believers.
"Looking for you to verify some news." He Lingchuan laughed, "If the cooperation is pleasant, maybe we can come and go often in the future."
"What do you want to ask?"
"A few questions." He Lingchuan said, "The Di Liu Jiang has been frequent recently, which gods have fallen?"
A stranger asking about such core secrets as soon as they came up, the temple keeper's pupils shrank slightly.
God fall, Di Liu Jiang, these two terms appeared one after another, indicating that the other party was an insider.
"Whose believer were you originally?" God Puyin asked him, "Or, are you from the Immortal Sect?"
"You are asking me questions?" He Lingchuan found it funny, his voice becoming low through the Qianglong Armor, "Did you give me the Punishment Dragon Pillar?"
This minor god asked if he was from the Immortal Sect as soon as it opened its mouth, what did that mean? It meant that they might have dealt with the so-called "Immortal Sect" in private.
This was the world he understood, not black and white.
God Puyin mused.
It didn't have the habit of telling everything to strangers, especially involving the secrets of the divine realm.
He Lingchuan took out another Punishment Dragon Pillar from his arms and shook it in front of it: "First cooperation, you have to show some sincerity, right? If you don't care about this, I can find other gods."
On the Flash Gold Plain, there was no shortage of minor gods.
This guy actually had so many Punishment Dragon Pillars! God Puyin then said: "Alright, I'll be more generous, two questions in exchange for one Punishment Dragon Pillar."
"Are you kidding me?" He Lingchuan couldn't help laughing, "The value of this treasure has multiplied several times? You know it in your heart. The gods fought until their heads were broken, and the Di Liu Jiang has fallen several times. Now you just open your mouth comfortably and want to exchange it? Do you look down on the Punishment Dragon Pillar, or do you look down on other gods?"
Previously, He Lingchuan had dealt with two or three minor gods on Platinum Island. One of them accidentally let slip that the value of the Punishment Dragon Pillar had multiplied five times compared to five years ago! It must have wanted to slap itself, but it was too late to take it back; He Lingchuan had already kept it in his heart.
Five times! Things are precious because they are rare; the value of the Punishment Dragon Pillar soared, indicating that the demand had greatly increased, and the gods' urgency for the Punishment Dragon Pillar was far greater than before.
The appearance of the Punishment Dragon Pillar was not a day or two, and getting this thing also meant facing the risk of being chased by the Lingxu gods. Why did the gods still pursue it tirelessly?
So something big must have happened in the heavenly realm.
However, the core secrets known by the wild gods on Platinum Island were limited after all, and they couldn't give the answer He Lingchuan wanted.
He Lingchuan decided to try his luck on the Flash Gold Plain.
"You have no sincerity, goodbye." He Lingchuan reached out, and not only did the Punishment Dragon Pillar in his palm disappear, but the one on the offering table was also taken back by him.
The two turned and left very decisively.
The temple gate was tightly closed, but this couldn't stop them at all.
"Wait!" God Puyin then knew that the masked man in front of it was not easy to deceive, "Secrets also have weight, how many more Punishment Dragon Pillars do you have?"
Being able to take out two at once meant that the person still had more in their pocket.
He Lingchuan looked back at the statue: "Your sincerity can't even take one."
Can't even eat what's in the bowl, yet still thinking about what's in the pot? The greed of these gods had never disappointed him.
God Puyin became much more straightforward: "You came to find me, it's because you know my background, right?"
He Lingchuan only said two words: "Chali."
Shao Jian mentioned in his notes that God Puyin is one of the Chali gods. Although it looks like the incense is flourishing and there are many believers, its temples on the Flash Gold Plain are not in prosperous cities. Judging from the offerings it enjoys, its rank is not high.
