Chapter 848: Marquis Dongchuan Slapped in the Face

In the Town God's Temple of Qingtangwei, the incense is as prosperous as ever.

When Qin Shaoyou and the others came here, there were still many people in the temple offering incense and praying for blessings.

"Two commanders, do we want to clear the field?"

A red-clothed emissary under Qin Qiaoer saw that there were many people outside the temple, so he couldn't help frowning slightly and asked in a low voice.

"No need." Qin Shaoyou shook his head lightly.

He glanced around, determined the position of the secret whistle with the help of [bright eyes], [wonderful nose] and [debate and hearing], moved his steps quietly, covered the eyes of the secret whistle with the help of the people around him, and quickly took out the illusion ghost The bead was handed to Zhu Xiucai.

"Just use this."

On the way here, Qin Shaoyou had already thought about how to deceive others, and told Zhu Xiucai about it.

So at this moment, after Zhu Xiucai received the Illusion Ghost Bead, without any nonsense, he immediately recited "Great Xia Law" in a low voice.

The phantom surged out of the illusion ghost bead and enveloped Qin Shaoyou and others.

Let their words and deeds become what Qin Shaoyou wanted them to see and hear in the eyes and ears of bystanders and spies.

Under the cover of the illusion ghost bead, Qin Shaoyou led the crowd into the Temple of the City God, and went straight to the main hall where the statue of the City God was enshrined.

At this moment in the main hall, apart from a temple priest, there are also several faithful men and women who are kneeling and praying.

Without Qin Shaoyou's instructions, Cui Yougui made a magic seal with his hands and whispered a spell.

A thought suddenly popped up in the hearts of those devout men and women, they felt that they had prayed enough and it was time to leave.

And the one sitting at the gate of the hall, closing his eyes and dozing off, only opening his eyes when someone puts money into the merit box, and knocking on the bronze chime on the table suddenly felt that he should go out and sweep the yard, so he got up He picked up the broom and walked out of the hall.

As for the outside of the main hall, those who originally wanted to come in to burn incense and worship, had other thoughts, stopped entering the hall, turned around and went elsewhere.

Seeing the success of the spell, Cui Yougui glanced around triumphantly, wanting to hear everyone's exclamation and praise.

It's a pity that I didn't get my wish.

Everyone's attention was not on him at all, but watching Qin Shaoyou take out the statue of the Nine Heavens Demon Patriarch from his satchel and place it on the altar.

Cui Yougui, who failed to pretend to be coercive, resentfully complained: "A bunch of ignorant guys."

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Senior Brother Cui felt the eyes of the Nine Heavens Demon Patriarch glaring at him.

Senior Brother Cui quickly shut his mouth, for fear of offending the Patriarch, it would not be pretending to fail, but embarrassing in public.

It was Qin Shaoyou who gave him face, turned his head and smiled at him, and praised: "Senior Brother Cui is very capable."

Although this compliment was a bit off-putting, Cui Youyu was still very happy: "Among so many people, you are the only one with a little bit of vision."

Qin Shaoyou didn't answer the question. He set up the statue of the Nine Heavens Demon Patriarch, lit three incense sticks, held them in his hands, bowed to the heaven and the earth, and said solemnly: "There is Cai Guizhong, the town god of Mianyuan County, who is upright and upright, guarding one side, Make the people worry-free, and are deeply loved by the people. Today, the Qingtang Guard is here to assist in the investigation of the case, and I also ask the Empress Dowager to temporarily lend him the power of the local city god..."

After praying, Qin Shaoyou inserted three sticks of incense into the incense burner, took a step back, looked around, and saw nothing miraculous happening.

He was a little uncertain, so he asked Cai Guizhong, who got out of the Wanmin umbrella and was standing beside him: "How about Lao Cai, do you have the right to borrow the city god here?"

Cai Guizhong felt it seriously, shook his head and said, "No."

"Is this not on loan? But didn't the patriarch have no objection?"

Qin Shaoyou frowned and looked at the statue of the patriarch of Jiutian Dangmo, and then found that an incense burner that was originally placed next to him was moved to the front of the statue of the patriarch at some point.

Qin Shaoyou can be sure that this incense burner was definitely not moved by them.

So... the patriarch?

Oh, I see, the patriarch thinks I didn't burn incense for him.

Qin Shaoyou, who understood, quickly lit three more incense sticks, inserted them into the incense burner in front of the statue of the Nine Heavens Dangmo Patriarch, and muttered words again, asking the Patriarch for help.

Not only that, but he was also very good at coming, took out a copy of the minced garlic silk that was stored in the [human arsenal], and enshrined it in front of the statue of the patriarch.

"Master Patriarch, although this minced garlic silk is a little cold, but the taste and effect are not bad, you can eat a couple of mouthfuls first to fill your stomach. After I finish handling the case of the Qingtang wizard, I will find a way to get Zhu Yu and do it." New dishes for you. Maybe, besides the Qingtang wizard, I can learn other more delicious new dishes."

This time, on the face of the wooden sculpture of the Nine Heavens Demon Patriarch, there was a faint satisfied smile, which made Qin Qiaoer and her red-clothed envoys very surprised.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw strands of incense and wish power gushing out from the statue of the City God in the main hall, and getting into Cai Guizhong's body, and... Qin Shaoyou's body next to him.

Is this a benefit from the grandfather?

After thanking the Nine Heavens Slayer Patriarch with his hand, Qin Shaoyou performed the breathing method, bluntly absorbed the incense and wish power that had penetrated into his body, and made Cui Yougui and others next to him look envious and jealous.

Everyone worships the patriarch, why is the patriarch so partial? Just because he can cook, can't we?

The scene in the main hall was not seen by the people watching outside and the crows because of the influence of the illusion ghost bead.

They didn't even see the statue of the Nine Heavens Dangmo Patriarch and Cai Guizhong. What they saw was that Qin Shaoyou and others entered the Town God's Temple and offered incense and worship.

This matter was quickly reported to Dongchuanhou.

He was negotiating a battle plan with his confidant generals. After listening to the report, he frowned and muttered, "The red-clothed emissaries went to the Town God's Temple to offer incense again? What do they mean?"

A confidant general guessed: "Could it be because the Qingtang wizard who killed the young master can't be found, and he wants to get clues by praying to God and Buddha?"

"Impossible! The City God of Qingtangwei, if it really exists, should have manifested by now!"

Dongchuanhou frowned slightly, thinking that the red-clothed envoys should not be so stupid, pinning their hopes on the illusory gods and Buddhas, but he couldn't understand their intentions.

Last time, after Qin Shaoyou went to the Temple of the City God to offer incense, he sent someone to check the Temple of the City God from the bottom up, but they didn't find any problems, and he didn't see the God of the City God appearing.

Now the messengers in red have gone to the Temple of the City God, what exactly are they trying to do?

Confused, Ma Chao brought new news.

"The messenger in red left the Town God's Temple, saying that he had tracked down the whereabouts of the Qingtang wizard who killed the little Marquis, and planned to arrest him. They also sent people to the Marquis Mansion, asking the Marquis to send troops to help them seal off the surrounding area. The streets and alleys, to avoid hurting innocent people, and at the same time prevent the Qingtang wizard from escaping."

"what?"

Dongchuanhou was shocked by the news, feeling like he had been slapped in the face.

"They tracked down the whereabouts of the Qingtang wizard? How did they track it down? Couldn't it be that the city god really appeared?"

"I asked the emissary in red who came to the Marquis Mansion to ask for help. He said that he used the supernatural item and borrowed some ability from the City God to find out the whereabouts of the Qingtang wizard. I want to find out the details of the supernatural item. He reasoned that it was the secret of the demon-suppressing driver, and he refused to say much. He only mentioned it, saying that the psychic item had serious side effects, so it had been useless until now. The secret whistle reported that there was indeed a red-clothed emissary, after leaving the Town God's Temple, his footsteps were flimsy, and his body was suspected to be hollowed out..."

"So that's the case. It seems that the supernatural item has the effect similar to magic spells such as God Strike and God Descend?"

Dongchuan Hou was relieved.

He knew that there were many supernatural objects with magical effects collected and sealed in the demon town, so he believed in this explanation.

After all, using supernatural items to borrow the supernatural powers of the city god is more convincing than the real manifestation of the gods.

"Since they want reinforcements, let's send a group of people to reinforce them, so as not to refer to us in time, saying that we are unwilling to help them solve the case. Remind the people sent not to be too active when encountering the enemy, and let the red-clothed emissary rush In the front, don't be used as a scapegoat."
