Chapter 172: Fools Don't Think Too Much

The cold wind howled through the streets and alleys of Hejian Mansion.

Three days have passed since Kong Ning retreated.

In the early morning, the little girl Caiwei walked into the side room dedicated to the God of the City, carefully took out three sticks of incense sticks, lit them, and bowed respectfully to the God of the City God on the shrine before inserting the incense sticks into the incense burner.

According to Kong Ning's instructions before the retreat, the little girl offered three sticks of incense to the City God every morning and evening during the three days, and she never slacked off for a single day.

And during these three days, the rumors about the Holy Envoy of the Black Lotus and the City God's killing of demons spread more and more widely in the city.

The incense in the Town God's Temple became more and more prosperous.

It seems that everything in the city is the same as usual, there is no difference.

It's just a little more quiet and a little less noisy.

The main altar of the Black Lotus Sect was silent.

Neither the saint nor the generalissimo of the palm print moved.

The group of followers of the Black Lotus Sect have not come to the city to preach their teachings for three days.

As people guessed, playing dead to the end will probably wait until this turmoil is over before taking any action.

Ordinary people spread all kinds of rumors and lived a peaceful life no different from usual.

From time to time, there were rumors that a certain village was slaughtered by horse bandits in a certain place.

Or maybe a girl from a certain family in the city was insulted by a flower picker and hung herself. Zhang Yunyun, the sea arrest document of the wanted criminal.

The world of mortals is still extremely chaotic.

People in the martial arts world come and go, wantonly killing ordinary people who don't know martial arts.

And in the world of demons, it was strangely quiet for three days.

The sudden cancellation of the Double Ninth Festival should have caused some kind of bloodbath.

However, at the critical juncture, Shaoxian Heshui Mansion suddenly chose to remain silent, even if they killed two demon generals, they never made a move.

Immediately afterwards, rumors emerged, and rumors about the Holy Envoy of the Black Lotus spread throughout the city.

But the expected conflict between the Holy Envoy of the Black Lotus and the Temple of the City God did not happen.

The enigmatic black lotus envoy disappeared abruptly after beheading Fei Ling that night.

Never showed up again.

Chang Wuyu of the Town God's Temple was originally full of anger, but on the night of the falling out with Lianzhanshan, he let go of his harsh words and went back to collect soldiers and horses, so he wanted to rush back to Lianzhanshan to make Fuyuedong pay the price.

And Chang Wuyu was originally planning to do so.

Although Heipao Yueshan persuaded it, it didn't listen to it at all. Instead, the next morning, it gathered all the troops and went out of the city to find troubles with Lianzhanshan.

But after all the monster soldiers and generals were ordered, the vicious Chang Wuyu suddenly sent an order to disband the monster soldiers and generals on the spot, canceling the order to go out.

A demon general vaguely heard a shrill scream and the sound of vomiting blood from the City God's Hall that morning.

That voice seemed to be without desire...

But exactly what happened, no one knows.

The monsters in the City God's Yin Division only knew that since the order to go out that morning was suddenly cancelled, they had never seen Chang Wuyu again.

That terrifying big monster, completely reclusive, only lives in the depths of the City God's Hall, only the monster generals are qualified to see it every day, but he never goes out.

Even the demon soldiers guarding the ghost gate clearly saw the famous demon centipede of Hejian mansion with thousands of faces, accompanied by Heipao Yueshan, quietly entering the ghost gate.

That thousand-faced centipede is a well-known doctor with superb medical skills, and he acts both righteous and evil.

Like the river god of the Shaoxian River Water Mansion, the Centipede with Thousand Faces was already well-known in the era when righteousness was prosperous.

Although he cultivates the way of magic, he is not interested in killing and doing evil, but only in the way of medicine.

In the era when the righteous way was prosperous, there were often righteous masters who came to Hejian Mansion to ask it to heal. It was a rare demon cultivator who was not hostile to the righteous way.

After the catastrophe of heaven and earth, the evil ways rose, and the thousand-faced centipede was not affected.

It still lives in the bamboo forest ten miles outside the city of Hejian Mansion, and studies its strange things. The monsters in Hejian Mansion did not provoke it, but treated it with courtesy.

Now it has come to City God's Yin Division... Could it be that Grandpa City God was seriously injured?

In the entire City God's Palace, the only person who can invite this old monster out is Grandpa City God...

Although Heipao Yueshan ordered the news to be blocked, the news that Chang Wuyu was plotted against, was seriously injured, and had to be treated by a thousand-faced centipede spread like wildfire.

After the news spread, it was the Shaoxian River Water Mansion who responded first.

In the River God Dragon Palace, Lord Guangyun was stunned for a moment when he received the news, almost suspecting that he had heard it wrong.

"Chang Wuyu was seriously injured and had to ask the thousand-faced centipede to treat him?"

The outrageous degree of this news made him confused.

Subconsciously, he glanced more at Chi Mako who sent the news.

Chi Zhenzi sighed, and said: "The news should be true, otherwise, with Chang Wuyu's temperament, he would have fought with Lianzhan Mountain long ago, and blood flowed like a river, how could he stop for three days."

"At such a critical moment, he disappeared for three days. With his temperament of Chang Wuyu, he must have been unable to move."

"I just don't know how Chang Wuyu's injury has something to do with the Black Lotus Holy Envoy."

Chi Zhenzi said: "If the Heilian Holy Envoy did it, it can probably explain why the Black Lotus Envoy and Chang Wuyu didn't respond during these three days."

"Chang Wuyu was seriously injured. If the Black Lotus Holy Envoy did it, then the Black Lotus Holy Envoy probably wouldn't feel well either."

"Perhaps we have already lost both sides, and we have to rest on our own."

Chi Mako said: "But the key problem is that the time when Chang Wuyu was injured seemed to be three mornings ago. At that time, the rumors had just started to spread."

"It's impossible for the Holy Envoy of the Black Lotus to get up early in the morning to have breakfast, and just in time to hear someone say bad things about him by the side of the road, and then go to find Chang Wuyu in a fit of rage..."

Chi Zhenzi said helplessly: "So Chang Wuyu's injury may also be caused by the person who cursed and killed Chang Wuyu twice before."

"It's just that if this is the case, it would be a bit strange that the Black Lotus Holy Envoy disappeared for three days..."

After Chi Zhenzi finished the analysis, Xuan Sanniang snorted coldly: "Why can't it be the Holy Envoy of the Black Lotus, who happens to be the sneaky person who curses and kills Chang Wuyu?"

"I think these two guys are very likely to be the same person. The same conspiracy, sneaky, hidden!"

Xuan Sanniang expressed disdain for this behavior.

Chi Zhenzi and Guangyun Jun looked at each other, they were slightly silent, and neither of them spoke.

After a few breaths, Lord Guangyun sighed, and said: "What Sanniang said is not unreasonable, maybe the Holy Envoy of the Black Lotus was really injured... In short, let's seal the water mansion for the time being."

"No one is allowed to leave the Water Palace."

"The situation is unclear, so you can't be the first bird. Then Hualan Lane and Fuyue Cave want to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai? How can there be such a good thing."
