Chapter 133 Night Spy
The pale lanterns hanging on the tree cast a faint white light.
On the stone table under the tree, Kong Ning silently wrote a few small characters with his fingers dipped in wine.
[Really a demon? 】
Kong Ning's question made Zhang Rong hesitate slightly.
If it was someone else, Zhang Rong would definitely not answer.
But Kong Ning had a good friendship with him, he hesitated for a moment, then smiled.
"Speaking of which, a massacre happened in the city ten days ago."
"A family living in the north of the city, a family of seven, all died. When we received the news and rushed over, we saw that the heads of the seven members of the family, old and young, were all cut off and hung at the door of the house with lanterns. Like."
"It's said that he didn't offer incense on time, lost the blessing of the City God, and was killed by strong men at night at night."
Zhang Rong talked about this case with a smile, and his eyes hinted: "Up to now, the Yamen hasn't found the murderer yet."
"That's why the City God of our Hejian Mansion is still very spiritual. It is a great blessing to have his protection from the old man."
Although he didn't dare to say it clearly, Zhang Rong tried his best to mention Kong Ning and said everything he could say.
Kong Ning was grateful in his heart, smiled and took the initiative to change the topic, and also chatted about an old incident in Shanlan County.
In this way, the matter was completely exposed.
Only Zhang Rong would tell him these words. Others are afraid of that monster, and will never dare to speak out.
Chatted with Zhang Rong for a while about interesting things in the city, and discussed what kind of livelihood Kong Ning should find next. After the two drank a jug of wine, Zhang Rong got up and left.
The city is treacherous, even a martial arts master like Zhang Rong avoids placing orders late at night.
Kong Ning stood at the door, watching Zhang Rong's leaving back disappear at the end of the street, and then closed the courtyard door.
And lock the courtyard door.
In the room, Xu Caiwei had already fallen asleep.
Kong Ning only taught her to recite the "Enlightenment Sutra", but did not teach her any method of practice. Theoretically speaking, the little girl has not formally set foot on the path of cultivation, so she is no different from ordinary people.
But just by reciting the "Enlightenment Sutra", which has no practical effect, the little girl can absorb a little spirit energy from the heaven and earth into her body, her talent is simply terrifying.
If you teach her the way of practice, I really don't know what a terrible situation it will be.
Kong Ning and Wan'er have clear opinions on when to teach Caiwei the cultivation method.
It is necessary to teach this little girl how to separate from love and hate, and the ways of the world, so that she can understand the truth before she can start teaching practice.
The congenital demon spirit is the supreme demon among demons, although the demon energy has been deprived, they still lean towards the demon way. If you don't teach her to be sensible, this ignorant little girl will practice quickly and her foundation will be unstable. Once the inner demon invades her, she will 100% fall into the demon way.
Kong Ning and Wan'er don't want such a good seedling to fall into the evil way and be ruined in the end.
With Caiwei's talent, if she is educated properly, there will be a scene of overwhelming demons in the future. If one is lucky enough, one might even break through the Zifu Realm and become a real immortal.
When you really reach that realm, not to mention rewriting the order of heaven and earth and expelling demons from all directions. At the very least, it can protect a country and a continent, and prevent hundreds of millions of creatures from being enslaved and raised by demons.
It is no exaggeration to say that what Kong Ning brings with him at this moment is the future of the Eastern Realm Shenzhou.
Therefore, he has to be more careful about his management.
Helping the sleeping little girl cover the quilt lightly, Kong Ning walked out of the house and came to the small courtyard.
The yard he bought occupies a large area, larger than the house in Huaishu Lane.
In the southeast corner of the yard, there is a peach tree.
Now a pale ghost lamp hangs above the peach tree, shining a faint white light under the tree.
Kong Ning sat under the tree, silently running the Soul Swallowing Demon Art, constantly refining the various demonic powers in his body.
In his mind, he was thinking about offering incense to the City God.
From Zhang Rong's words, we know that the monsters in the Town God's Temple have some means to find out which one does not offer incense on time.
If the incense is not offered on time, the demon will come to kill and destroy the whole family. Use this cruel method to force the residents of the whole city to offer incense to them.
With such a method, it is no wonder that every family in the city is afraid of ghosts, and the Temple of the City God is full of incense every day.
As for Kong Ning, who wanted to live in Hejian Mansion for a long time, the daily offering of incense to the City God was an unavoidable hurdle. If you don't offer incense, then the monsters from the Town God's Temple will come to kill you, and it will be difficult to get rid of them.
The current Kong Ning doesn't want to deal with those monsters for the time being.
But if you burn incense to the city god on time every day, it may not be safe.
Because the incense and wish power added to the Spirit-swallowing Demon Jar is definitely not a good thing.
The City God of the Hejian Mansion looks like the kind with a violent temper.
If Kong Ning receives the three sticks of incense every morning and evening... Kong Ning is worried that the other party will not be able to bear the torture and will go crazy and kill indiscriminately in the city.
Tonight, it can rush out of the city to fight in a fit of rage.
Tomorrow night, it can also gather demon soldiers and set off a bloody storm in the city, just to find the space that "harmed it" in the dark.
Under the peach tree, Kong Ning frowned and thought hard, but couldn't think of a result.
The main reason is that he doesn't know how the incense sacrifice is judged.
If Kong Ning called other people to offer incense to the City God, I don't know if he passed the test. If possible, it would be much simpler.
Just throw the illusion to the neighbor, and ask him to burn three more sticks of incense when offering incense every day.
Thinking of this, Kong Ning couldn't help exhaling a long breath, and stood up.
These three sticks of incense from the City God are a hurdle that he can hardly bypass at this time.
At this time, the city god led the demon soldiers and the demon generals out of the city, and the temple of the city god was empty.
It's a great opportunity to find out.
He also had to explore this reality.
Leaving two more ghost lanterns in the yard to protect Caiwei, Kong Ning disappeared directly from the yard and headed for the Town God's Temple not far away.
Tongming Lane is not far from the Town God's Temple. Cross a river and cross two streets, and you can see the brightly lit Town God's Temple at night.
Although there is no curfew in Hejian Mansion, there are not many people on the streets at night.
The Town God's Temple, which was lit with candles from inside to outside, was even more empty, almost eerily empty.
Kong Ning, who was standing outside the City God's Temple, did not approach the empty City God's Temple rashly.
Although there shouldn't be any monster soldiers and generals left behind in the Town God's Temple at this time, it's better to play it safe.
He stood in the shadows and waited for about a quarter of an hour before he saw a figure walking around in the Temple of the City God.
The man was wearing a cassock, he was black and fat, he looked like he was the incense burner in the temple, and he was sweeping the floor. It's just that when Kong Ning opened his eyes, he saw that it was a little demon that had just transformed into a human.
With a thought, the innate supernatural power of the nightmare and the illusion of the mirror and the moon are directly displayed.
Under the moonlight, the little demon carrying the broom was startled slightly, and then walked towards Kong Ning with a calm expression.
In the end, the two stood under the shade of a tree by the river, and Kong Ning heard the little demon respectfully tell him about the situation of the city god's sacrifice.
