Chapter 10: Penglai Immortal Gathering
Seeming to notice Su Yuanshan's intoxicated expression, the Night-Roaming God next to him said amusingly.
"I didn't expect the Mansion Lord to have such a hobby, actually interested in the other shore flowers!
This messenger thought that rather than appreciating the other shore flowers, it would be better to appreciate the water-drowning grass! Once confused, there is still a chance to be saved, but once poisoned by the flowers, it is difficult!"
Su Yuanshan felt a shock in his heart.
Other shore flowers? This is actually the other shore flower?
"The other shore flowers bloom on the other shore; the flowers bloom and the leaves fall, and the two never see each other! Only leaving the two to miss each other!"
The Night-Roaming God is right, the love poison in this world is the most poisonous, and there is no cure for those who are poisoned. This is also the reason why cultivators need to cut off the three corpses and break the five poisons if they want to become immortals.
The flower is not an ordinary flower, and the river next to the flower naturally cannot be an ordinary river. I must be careful.
However, fortunately, there is a stone arch bridge in the distance, but there seem to be quite a few people crossing the bridge on the bridge head, and guarding the bridge head are several ox-headed and horse-headed people, who are strictly checking.
Next to them are three giant stones, which occasionally flash some images like a movie. At this time, only a puppet next to him complained in a low voice.
"The efficiency of this group of guys is really slow. With the help of the Three Lives Stone, they can still dawdle for a long time. Isn't everyone's past and present life revealed?"
Speaking without intention, listening with intention, Su Yuanshan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
If he really crossed that stone bridge and was illuminated by these three stones, everything would be revealed. Pretending to be a deity is a major crime, the kind that cannot be more dead!
At this time, only the Night-Roaming God urged.
"Let's go, let's go over too."
What should I do? What should I do? At this moment, Su Yuanshan's heart was beating like a drum, neither advancing nor retreating.
Although he was calm on the surface, he was actually a bit nervous in his heart.
His footsteps were like lead, and he didn't want to move a step.
But not going over was obviously not possible!
If it were an ordinary person, Su Yuanshan's forehead would have been covered with sweat, but the problem was that he was not an ordinary person.
Maintaining his inherent indifferent expression, Su Yuanshan bit the bullet and walked towards the bridge head. But in the eyes of the Night-Roaming God and the others, he appeared calm and composed.
One step, two steps, three steps. Just as Su Yuanshan lifted his foot and was about to step onto the bridge head, he saw an ox-headed person walking off the bridge and cupping his hands to the Roaming God.
"Roaming God, you finally came. Divine decree from the Divine Lord, there is a summons from above. Guangwang Shenjun has already accompanied Shangxiang Jun to Penglai for the Immortal Gathering. The matter of the Town City God going to Xuanming Palace to report his duties and plead guilty is temporarily postponed. Wait until he returns. This is the Divine Lord's decree, please take a look!"
The Night-Roaming God took the divine decree handed over by the ox-headed person and glanced at it, saying.
"It is indeed Guangwang Shenjun's handwriting!"
He glanced at Su Yuanshan and handed it to him.
"City God Mansion Lord, you take a look too!"
Su Yuanshan took it and glanced at it a few times. It roughly meant,
Although he committed the crimes of being absent from his post and being lazy in government affairs, considering it was his first offense, he was specially allowed to make up for his crimes, exterminate the demons in his jurisdiction, and return peace to the human world. Otherwise, the crime would be increased!
Su Yuanshan withdrew his foot. Although he felt relieved, he couldn't help but frown.
The crisis of being exposed was temporarily lifted, but it could only be said to be temporarily lifted, not ended. After all, after Guangwang Shenjun returned, he still had to cross the bridge to report his duties and meet the Divine Lord.
He frowned because the demons in his jurisdiction were not so easy to exterminate, especially the new Demon King who defeated the previous Demon King White Ape. At this moment, he was in high spirits and sharp.
White Ape cultivated for a thousand years and was still defeated. Although there was the reason for failing to cross the tribulation and being injured, the new Demon King's strength still couldn't be underestimated.
If he acted rashly, it was very likely that he would capsize in the gutter. He, this local parent official, the underworld City God, not only didn't exterminate that Demon King but was exterminated by the other party instead. That would be a big joke.
So this matter cannot be rushed!
"Since Guangwang Shenjun is not here, I will send the Mansion Lord back!"
While speaking, he saw the Night-Roaming God wave his hand, and suddenly a gust of underworld wind blew, blowing him so he couldn't open his eyes.
When Su Yuanshan opened his eyes again, he found that he had returned to that dilapidated City God Temple.
It was truly a thousand difficulties when going, and a gust of wind when coming.
However, Bai Wugou was not in the temple. Clearly, it had awakened from its meditation. I don't know where it ran to.
Could it be that it went to the ancient tomb again? Su Yuanshan could only guess like this.
Alas, the roof is leaking rain, and the door is leaking wind! There is not even a sliver of incense offering. Is there any City God in this world who is more miserable than me?
Indeed, it was raining from the sky, and it was drifting down from the holes in the roof, wetting the walls, dampening the altar table, leaving spots of water stains mixed with the incense ash of many years, appearing a bit dirty.
However, before Su Yuanshan could fully express his emotion, he heard a rustling sound of footsteps outside, followed by a nagging complaint.
"It's raining again, it's really annoying! How can people hurry on their way?"
"Fortunately, there is a temple?"
With a 'creak', the temple door was pushed open.
A young girl holding an oil-paper umbrella walked in.
White long-tube embroidered boots, sky-blue short jacket and long skirt, golden silk waist, and a cyan jade pendant hanging on it.
She carried a blue cloth bag on her back, holding a sword in her left hand and an umbrella in her right, with a head of black hair hanging down to her waist.
"Eh? There is firelight? Is there someone inside?"
Stepping into the main hall, she put away the oil-paper umbrella, and as her hair flicked, her side face was revealed!
Skin like congealed fat, teeth like shells, smiling and beautiful, eyes looking forward, a jade bone, full of heroic spirit.
The girl walked into the main hall and sure enough saw a bonfire. He saw a white-clothed man sitting with his back to her by the bonfire, adding firewood to it. Although she didn't see his face, she could feel that this man seemed to be elegant and transcendent, full of immortal aura.
A lone man and a lone woman, and both were strangers. The girl hesitated for a while, but soon rubbed her hands and leaned over.
"Is the young master also here to stay?"
She was clearly asking the obvious.
And the white-clothed man didn't pay attention to her and continued to add firewood to the bonfire.
Seeing that she had asked for nothing, the girl felt a bit awkward, so she stopped talking, walked to the corner of the wall, found a clean piece of ground, leaned her sword against the wall, and then took out a handkerchief, wiped the ground repeatedly, and then took out a blanket from the bag and spread it on it.
By the firelight, she seemed to be secretly sizing up the white-clothed man. After repeated observations, and after determining
that the other party didn't look like a bad person, she relaxed her vigilance and took out dry food from the bag and began to gnaw on it.
It was called dry food, but it was just a few pieces of osmanthus cake.
The other party still maintained the previous posture of adding firewood to the fire pile. The girl hesitated for a while, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, and walked to the white-clothed man.
"Have you eaten? Come, this girl can't eat it all, I'll share some with you!"
However, the white-clothed man didn't even lift his head, but this time he gave a response.
"Thank you, I'm not hungry!"
However, the girl didn't listen and stuffed the osmanthus cake into his hand, then turned and walked back.
Looking at the osmanthus cake in his hand, the white-clothed man was a bit speechless.
In fact, he was really not hungry, because he didn't need to eat these things at all!
What he needed was incense! ===== CHAPTER 11 =====
