As I listened, my mood became heavier and heavier.
But he had no intention of stopping and continued: "The real city god is not the false gods you killed. They don't exist in those villages, and they don't seek the incense of that village."
"The true city god is the god of a city."
"One city?" I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows.
Along the way, the only city I have been to is Baiyun City.
The population of Baiyun City is already huge, and its scope is at least as large as dozens or hundreds of Badong villages, and if the real city god is guarding something like Baiyun City.
That is naturally not comparable to false gods.
As far as incense is concerned.
Then there is no comparison.
"Is the man from Badong Village the real City God?"
I asked.
He nodded slightly, but then shook his head and said: "So, not really."
"He is indeed complete, but because of what happened in Fengling Village, he is not complete in Badong Village."
I understand in my heart.
Even if it is incomplete, it is still a true god. No wonder I was so powerless at the Immortal Burial Place.
This also made me feel even heavier.
"So, there are still real gods in this world, so why don't they appear?"
He didn't answer me, but poured me another cup of tea.
The tea is dark red, like blood.
Just looking at the tea, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness. He didn't tell me the answer, but he seemed to have told me the truth I wanted.
"It's not important." He looked at me and said, "Whether it is a true god, a false god, or a false immortal, they are all just pawns in this game."
"What you need to care about now is the path you should take."
"Which way should I take?" I couldn't help but frown.
"The real path to earthly immortality?"
He nodded slightly and gave me another cup of tea.
This time the tea was golden.
It's just that it's not a rich golden color, but a light golden color.
When I looked at it, I felt a warm feeling.
"You should be able to feel that although you have not yet become a so-called living earthly immortal, your strength has far exceeded that of ordinary false gods."
I remained silent and did not object.
Of course I know this.
I have thought about it before, but I just thought it was because I have more things at my disposal. But then I also thought about it carefully. Every earthly immortal alive is an amazingly talented person, so how can they be worse than me?
And if they want to kill a false god, City God, they have to pay for it with their lives.
"In addition to asking for help from the gods, the path you have taken from the beginning has been different from theirs." He continued: "The book on divine communication you obtained in Fengling Village."
"It's actually called Tongxian."
"Your invitation to the gods is called the Earth Immortal Tie!"
"Only by embarking on the road to immortality and possessing the Earthly Immortal Sticker can you have a chance to become a true immortal."
"And on this road, it is destined that you will not be an ordinary village guard."
"So, the moment you become a true Earth Immortal, Lord Taishan will not give you another chance. He will use all means to kill you."
"At that time, even if the Ghost Immortal wants to protect you, he or she will not be able to do so due to some reasons."
"The only one you can rely on is yourself."
I was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think of what Lord Taishan said when I found the fourth coffin.
I only have one chance left.
Now it seems that I understand.
If what the Lord of Maoshan said is true, then this last chance will determine whether I can continue on this road.
It also determines whether the ghost fairy mentioned by the Lord of Maoshan can win again in this game.
Thinking of this, I looked at the Lord of Maoshan.
"You told me so much, you shouldn't just be trying to clear up my doubts, right?"
I asked the original question again.
He said so much that I don’t believe it if there is no need.
When he heard what I said, he smiled and said, "Of course."
"The Chuma lineage needs your blessing."
"Although I, Maoshan, don't need it, if Lord Taishan wins, it will not be of any benefit to me, Maoshan."
"I need you to agree to a condition."
"If you agree, I can give you something."
I frowned and asked, "What?"
The next moment he waved his hand, and there was a golden bell in his hand.
"You have now mastered the Sutra of Rebirth. This thing is called the Bell of Rebirth. In conjunction with the Sutra of Rebirth, in the realm of corpse exorcism, as long as you are willing, no walking corpse can escape your control."
"Any?" I was a little surprised.
He nodded and said: "Anything!"
"For this thing, the Corpse Exorcists came to me several times, but I never gave it back to them."
"If you agree to my conditions."
"This thing is yours!"
"What conditions?" I asked after thinking for a while.
What the corpse exorcists are best at is exterminating corpses.
If this thing is really like what the Lord of Maoshan said, combined with the Purana Sutra, it can allow me to control all the zombies in the zombie lineage, then the risk of me going to the zombie lineage will be reduced a lot.
It might even be easier to find the coffin.
This is indeed a very useful thing for me.
When I asked, he was not ambiguous and said directly: "You will go back to Niang'er Village someday."
"Find a place to stay for my Maoshan family."
I looked at him a little surprised.
I wanted to ask, but finally endured it.
Just like the people from Maoshan, the reason why Maoshan proposed this condition to me must have something to do with Niang'er Village. I want to know the answer. When I return to Niang'er Village, everything will naturally become clear.
But I didn't rush to agree, but continued: "What if I don't agree?"
He shook his head and said, "You will agree."
"The fact that you came here has already determined this outcome."
"You got this death bell from me, and I got your promise."
"That's why you're here."
I smiled bitterly and said, "I understand."
"Can I ask you one more question?"
I looked at him.
He handed me the death bell.
"Can."
"Guixian, are you an old smoker?" I looked at him and asked.
This question has always been on my mind.
From the first time Liu Yunsheng told me, I have been thinking about it.
However, he did not answer me, but poured me another cup of tea.
This time the tea was turbid.
"It doesn't matter who the ghost is."
"You think he is, he is."
"If you think it's not, then it's not."
"If you can return to Niang'er Village, you will naturally know."
"If you can't go back, no matter how much you know, it's meaningless!"
After saying that, he stood up and said, "It's getting late. You can stay overnight in my temple, or you can go down the mountain."
"If you don't die this time."
"I will go to Niang'er Village to look for you!"
"If you die..."
He glanced at me, did not continue, but turned around and walked towards the temple.
