Eastern suburbs.

Goods yard.

This place used to be a big inn. The owner wanted to sell it out because he was old, but the asking price was too high, which discouraged many people. Who would have thought that it would change ownership so quickly.

The construction of the temple was really fast, and the construction period that originally took several years was completed in two or three days.

In addition, the book that tests the words of the City God is popular in the city, which makes people even more curious.

Yu Zheng and Zhou Qian are the two bolder people.

The two left the academy in the evening and arrived at the temple in darkness.

Zhou Qian, who was holding a lantern, looked at the long steps and swallowed hard. At this moment, the blood surge in his chest had subsided after so long. He could no longer rely on his blood to move forward. Even his legs could not stop trembling.

Swing up.

With difficulty, he moved his eyes to look at Yu Zheng and said: "Brother Yu..."

Yu Zheng was also scared to death, but he knew that he was not very good at learning, and there was no hope of passing the exam in his life.

Not to mention there are any immortal masters in the temple, they are really evil spirits from the underworld, and he also plans to try his luck.

Yu Zheng said with relief: "It's all here!"

"Exactly."

The two of them slowly climbed up the long steps under the light of a lantern.

Entering along the gate, I saw that the temple was crowded with people. When the two met, they both secretly said: "Weird!"

They did not see ghosts and gods, but instead saw many Confucian scholars like them, chatting in twos and threes, and some were sitting aside with their books baskets on their backs fully prepared.

"Brothers, you must have also read Kao Chenghuang?" the familiar Confucian scholar said with a smile.

Yu Zheng and Zhou Qian nodded in succession.

The Confucian scholar looked at the crowd in the courtyard and said, "They have all read it. I have read it too."

"That……"

"Brothers, don't worry, let's drink first."

"The examiner is still preparing."

The Confucian scholar's words shocked Yu Zheng and Zhou Qian and showed expressions of disbelief.

The two of them could only reach out and take the wine bottle as if they were following.

The Confucian scholar smiled and said: "Drink!"

The two looked at each other and simply raised their heads to drink.

A glass of strong wine made their faces look much better.

"Brother..." Yu Zheng didn't know how to address the handsome scholar in front of him.

After opening his mouth for a long time, he swallowed back the words, and could only ask in a low voice: "How does the master know that the examiner is still preparing? Is this really the same as the City God Examination Center, where the City God Examination is held?"

The Confucian scholar smiled and was about to speak.

Boom!

The evening drum is beating.

The heavy footsteps shook the earth.

All the Confucian scholars were as silent as cicadas.

As the shadows became darker, a tall figure was revealed under the illumination of two red lanterns.

With a green face and fangs, vermilion hair, piercing eyes like copper bells, and a sturdy body covered in green and black, this tall evil ghost wears a red robe and a black gauze hat.

The moment the evil spirit appeared, many Confucian scholars in the courtyard paralyzed on the ground with weak legs, while some who were able to move scrambled to get to the door.

Unfortunately, the gate is as thick as a city wall, standing there blocking the path of all Confucian students.

The evil ghost opened his bloody mouth and said with a ferocious smile: "These idiots are really easy to deceive. In the past, we would hide and tuck people when we wanted to catch them. I didn't expect that I don't know who created the Kaocheng Huang. Now those people are missing."

They can all be placed on Kaocheng Huang’s body, and they will hold the vat for us.”

"Catch them..."

"So, you are the ones taking the opportunity to ruin the reputation of the Yins recently."

The young man looked calmly at the evil ghost in the red official robe.

The evil ghost rolled his eyes and said with a sneer: "What bullshit? Grandpa uses your name to give you face."

Yu Zheng and Zhou Qian were frightened.

They didn't expect that Kao Chenghuang was a trap.

The Confucian scholar who was far away from them was furious.

Taking one step forward, the handsome face and smile on his body revealed the face of a devil with round eyes and chiseled teeth.

The evil ghost stepped forward, opened its bloody mouth, and bit into it. Only a headless body of the red-robed evil ghost that had been screaming just now was left.

"Pooh."

"Chai's hair is dry and unpalatable."

The evil scholar spit out the head, stomped it open, and sneered: "I don't think you dare to use the name of the Underworld. There must be a mastermind behind it."

Having said that, the Confucian scholar evil ghost turned his gaze and looked at the Confucian students who came to take the exam.

The ghost eyes fell on a person and said calmly: "Boy, stop hiding. With so many people, your aura is the strongest, and you are like a shining little sun at night."

The monk hiding inside walked out slowly, his face serious: "Senior, why do you have to pretend to be a ghost? If you want to do something, just give it."

The devil disguised as a Confucian scholar grinned evilly and said ferociously: "My king has an order to select the city god here. You are not worthy of chatting in front of me."

A pair of wings suddenly spread out from the monk's back, and the wings hung down like a cloak. After his identity was revealed, the monk's expression immediately calmed down.

Said: "My cultivation level is indeed insufficient, but my senior does not know how to praise me, I am afraid that I will not be able to leave the world of Yuren."

The demon looked at the opponent up and down: "Feathered Man?"

"I heard that the leader of the Feathered People has stopped showing up for a long time. He should be dying soon."

"Since you are about to die, you should find a hole, dig it deeper, and bury yourself. Otherwise, when I, the Lord of the Underworld, arrive, I will cut off the flag of your family leader first!"

The evil spirit transformed from the devil appeared in front of the monk in one step, looking down from above and saying: "The underworld is on an errand, and the living should retreat!"

"roll."

The feathered monks were so frightened by the demon's pressure that they didn't even dare to breathe.

He could feel that he was no match for the evil spirit in front of him.

As long as he has the slightest idea of ​​taking action, his head will be crushed and his soul will be pulled out. He can only run away under the insults of the other party.

The moment the door opens.

The feathered monk turned into an escaping light and flew away.

All the Confucian scholars scattered and fled.

There were only two people left.

Yu Zheng and Zhou Qian holding a lantern.

The devil walked up to the two of them and said in a deep voice: "You are so courageous, but it's a pity that you are too stupid. That stupid heart has seven orifices and six orifices, but it doesn't understand anything. Since we are destined to meet each other, let me give you a fortune!"

After the words fell, the devil raised his sharp palm and tore open Yu Zheng's chest and pulled out a beating heart.

The heart is still connected to the blood vessels and meridians and is still beating.

The devil opened his mouth and exhaled a stream of clear air to cleanse his heart before stuffing it back.

Yu Zheng only felt numb but nothing strange, but his excited eyes were full of horror. He had just seen his heart being dug out with his own eyes.

The devil looked at Zhou Qian again, grabbed the other person's lungs, and also exhaled a breath of fresh air.

He said: "Without my help, you would soon be a tuberculosis ghost. Without this depression, you may be able to achieve success in the future. But this can only depend on your own destiny."

"Go for it!"

A big wave of his hand.

The temple gate was immediately closed.

Yu Zheng came to his senses and found that his friend had returned to the entrance of the academy.

He quickly opened his clothes and looked at his chest.

There was indeed a narrow crack there, but it had long since scabbed into a thin scar, and it didn't feel any pain to the touch.

In contrast, there was a shallow ghost claw on Zhou Qian's chest.

Temple view.

The devil changed his arrogance and arrogance just now, rubbed his hands in an extremely flattering manner and said: "Master, how did I do?"
