Time passed day by day, and soon more than a month passed. As the search was ineffective, the strict security in various places was gradually removed. Su Hao basically disappeared from the pavilion at the intersection of Dingjia Road, and only a few government officials were left pretending to be there.

, As for the boatmen, the government did not speak up, so they could only continue to suffer. Many boatmen chose to abandon the ferry and go to the city to work as servants.

…

On the other side, Su Hao came to the City God's Temple in the county. In a city, the busiest place is always around the City God's Temple, because in the eyes of the common people, whether it is the Confucius Temple or the Guandi Temple, they are all supported by their families.

It is a place that only rich families who are scholars or warriors often visit, but ordinary people probably cannot go there even once a year.

The City God's Temple is different. In the eyes of the common people, the City God's Temple is the "family temple". People who want to have good weather in life or have other miscellaneous wishes will come to the City God's Temple, which has also created the prosperity around the City God's Temple.

Of course, Su Hao didn't come here to make a wish. As a left-behind warlock, he only believed in himself. He came here to find someone this time.

As the City God's Temple in Shangqiu County, it is natural that incense is at its peak. Even if it is not the first or fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, there is still an endless stream of people coming to the City God's Temple to offer incense, and the temple is filled with green smoke.

As soon as he stepped into the City God's Temple, Su Hao felt an indescribable force pressing down on him. The source of this force was the statue of the City God in the main hall. Su Hao knew that this was the City God staring at him.

!

One thing has been recorded in the travel notes of generations of ancestors of the Su family: in this world, gods really do exist!

It’s just that for some unknown reason, gods never interfere in human affairs. The stories of gods appearing in various places are basically man-made.

"This layman has been invited by his master!"

At this time, a young man dressed as a Taoist priest came to Su Hao and saluted him.

"Please lead the way!"

Su Hao also returned the gift. He knew that it was the City God who had informed the temple to pray, but he was here to come to the temple to pray, so naturally he would not refuse.

"Prayer please!"

Young man walks in front.

Arriving at the back hall, an old man also wearing a long coat and dressed as a Taoist priest had already known that he was waiting here. It was Meng Yan, the temple's Zhu Zhu from the Chenghuang Temple in Shangqiu County.

When he saw that the person who came in was Su Hao, the new head catcher of Shangqiu County, Meng Yan was also confused, but he quickly recovered and bowed with a smile: "It turns out to be Su Hao, the old man thought he was

Who, comrades, come to my City God’s Temple?”

"I hope the old man won't be offended by the rude interruption."

Su Hao smiled and returned the greeting. Although Meng Yan and his apprentice were dressed as Taoist priests, they were actually not members of the Taoist sect. To be honest, Miao Zhu was a left-wing sorcerer like him. The power of Miao Zhu's lineage came from the enshrined

The better the relationship between the gods and the gods, the more divine power they can borrow.

"Shen Da" is a technique, not a method. Practicing a technique does not cultivate one's moral character. "Shen Da" is the most widely circulated orthodox Taoist magic among the heretical sects. The Su family also has it, but no one in the Su family has ever practiced it.

The power of the "Shen Da" technique comes from the gods worshiped, which are divided into three levels according to the objects of worship. The highest level is the righteous gods of Taoism or the Bodhisattva Arhats of Buddhism, such as Guan Gong, Erlang Shen, and the Eighteen Arhats. From these righteous gods

The borrowed divine power doesn't pose much of a danger yet.

The second level is gods such as City God, Earth God, and Yin Siguan. The power that these gods can borrow is relatively weak, and the side effects are much greater, causing physical weakness.

However, the power of these two gods cannot be borrowed by worshiping them. Those who can borrow divine power from the Taoist righteous gods and Buddhist Bodhisattva Arhats are basically Taoist and Buddhist people or those favored by the righteous gods. And the city god, the land god

There are geographical restrictions. Outside the jurisdiction of the City God and the land, you cannot borrow divine power. If you want to borrow power from the City God and the land, you can only become a temple blessing.

The lowest level is to worship some wild gods or lonely ghosts. If you worship these things, you can only ask for blessings. If you meet a kind person, it will cost you your life at most. If you meet an evil one, you will be lucky.

The whole family may die, and even reincarnation is a luxury.

The reason why the people of the Su family don't practice is because they are unable to climb into the lap of those righteous gods, and there are too many restrictions on temple blessings, which are not what the Su family wants, and they are borrowed from gods such as the City God and the Land.

His divine power is not that great, at most it is comparable to some second-rate warriors, and the Su family doesn't think highly of it either.

"I don't know what the reason for Mr. Su's visit to the old man is?"

At this time, Meng Yan's voice sounded again.

"Old man, I just arrived in Shangqiu County not long ago. I want to buy some spiritual things. But I am not familiar with Shangqiu County. I would like to ask the old man to introduce me to you."

Su Hao smiled and cupped his hands, then casually took out a small gold bar weighing twelve pounds from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

Although Meng Yan, as a temple priest of the City God's Temple, basically could not leave the three-acre area of ​​Shangqiu County, Meng Yan had stayed in Shangqiu County for decades, and no matter big or small in Guide Mansion could not be hidden from him.

"Captain Su is too polite."

Meng Yan accepted the small gold bar with a smile: "The Lu family has the most extensive connections in Guide Mansion. The Lu family has feng shui and has friends all over the world. If Su Captou wants to buy something for cultivation, he can go to the Lu family in the city.

.”

"I hope the old man can introduce me on my behalf."

Hearing this, Su Hao cupped his hands and said, naturally these twelve taels of gold cannot just be renamed, Meng Yan also has to be his guide. The circle of leftist warlocks in any place is quite exclusive. Even if you have money, you have to have someone.

Lead the way, otherwise it won't be so easy to get in.

"It's natural."

Meng Yan nodded and said with a smile: "Captain Su will be here again tomorrow morning. I will personally take Capt Su to visit the Lu family."

For him, this was just a piece of cake. Of course, the reason why he agreed to lead the way for Su Hao so easily was mainly because of Su Hao's status as a headhunter. It was not easy to be a guide. If he led a thief to the Lu family

, not only will his reputation be ruined, but the Lu family will not let him go.

"Then please leave it to the old man."

Su Hao handed over his hand. As the Su family is an ancestral left-right family, he naturally knew the risks of being the one who led the way.

After asking Meng Yan about the situation of the Left Daoist circle in Guide Mansion, Su Hao stood up and left.

…

The next day.

Su Hao had washed up early and arrived at the City God's Temple. At this time, Meng Yan had already prepared his carriage. Although the city was not far from Shangqiu County, Meng Yan was too old to be like this young man Su Hao.

It would take an hour or two before he could withstand the rapid jolts of horseback riding and reach Fucheng.
