The land of Songcheng is fertile soil within a thousand miles, with hundreds of thousands of people and the protection of the city gods before. Therefore, it has always been very prosperous, and people from all walks of life are coming and going in the city.
Early this morning, Sucheng and several people left the inn respectively, and Songcheng ahead inquiries about information.
Su Cheng and Zhao Min walked around the city together, and finally arrived at the south of the city without realizing it.
"Sulang, you see there seems to be a temple in front... Xingfu Temple? Look at the place where there are many believers."
Zhao Min was wearing men's clothing and holding a folding fan, and suddenly pointed to the front.
Su Cheng looked up and saw a bustling crowd of people coming in and out of a temple more than ten feet away. The temple looked magnificent, with cigarettes curling, and the plaque outside the door had three big words Xingfu Temple written on it.
.
The moment he saw this temple, Su Cheng thought of those monks. When he looked at Zhao Min, Zhao Min nodded calmly. It was obvious that the two of them were thinking about the same.
"Let's go in quietly to see if it's related to those monks or not, this place is a Buddhist place and should be informed."
Su Cheng said softly that unless the monks in Xingfu Temple are all ordinary people, they must know something.
Afterwards, Su Cheng and Zhao Min mingled among the believers and quietly entered Xingfu Temple.
There were two monks on both sides of the aisle in the temple from time to time. Unfortunately, in the sense of Sucheng, these were really ordinary people and did not have any magic power.
Finally, Su Cheng and others arrived at the Main Hall and stood among the believers. They saw a monk wearing a red cassock from afar, followed by several monks and chatting with the believers.
"Host, my child has always been weak, can I have a solution?"
"Host, the family has been a little uneasy these days, as if there were evil cults. Please show your compassion."
...
Su Cheng stood on one side, and after listening quietly for a while, he understood the identity of this monk, who was Zen Master Huiran, the host of Xingfu Temple.
Zen Master Huiran is fifty or sixty years old, tall, merciful, and white hair and beard. He looks like a monk who has gained enlightenment. No wonder he is trusted by believers.
The most important thing is that Su Cheng noticed the fluctuations of magic power from Zen Master Huiran, and it was obvious that this person was not an ordinary person.
Suddenly, Zen Master Huiran looked at Su Cheng and Zhao Min, then smiled faintly and looked at the believers in front of him.
"It seems that I have discovered us...but I did not realize the hostility. It seems that we have something to talk to him."
Su Cheng said lightly, but he didn't have much worry. He acted cautiously, but he was not timid and afraid. Since he did not notice the danger, he was naturally willing to stay and talk.
Although there are some scum in Buddhism, Su Cheng believes that there are also many great monks among them, just like Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. If it weren’t for true compassion, there wouldn’t be so many believers.
Not long after, Zen Master Huiran talked with the believers, nodded to Su Cheng and the others, then left the Main Hall, and Su Cheng and Zhao Min followed closely, followed, and finally arrived in a wing room in the backyard.
.
Zen Master Huiran stood on one side of the wing room, looked at Su Cheng and Zhao Min at the door, looked at him for a while, then folded his hands and said with a smile:
"The two donors are here today, I don't know what's going on?"
Now Songcheng is a place of storm, and many people have arrived here. In addition to examining the city god, there are also monks and various visitors. Before the identity and purpose of Su Cheng and his son, Zen Master Huiran will naturally be the one who has been cleared.
I won't open my mouth easily.
"Zen Master, it's really not to be hiding. Our trip was to take the City God exam. A friend of ours was involved and wanted to find out the details of this matter. I wonder if you can give me some advice?"
Su Cheng bowed and said that when he was dealing with him for the first time, he didn't know the nature and position of Zen Master Huiran, so he naturally could not directly talk about those monks.
"Take the City God... I can only say that if possible, take your friends away as soon as possible. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time."
Zen Master Huiran's face became sad in an instant, his white eyebrows trembled, and his expression became even more complicated. After a moment of silence, he said:
"The City God exam is very involved. You are also a practitioner. You should understand the dangers. It's a pity that City God Zhao..."
Su Cheng felt a little moved when he heard this. Judging from the words of Zen Master Huiran in front of him, he obviously knew something, and he didn't seem to be a fellow traveler with those monks, otherwise there would be no need to remind them.
"I would also like to be kind to the Zen master, so that I can tell us some news. If possible, we are willing to do our best to solve the problem here."
Su Cheng bowed and said, at this moment, their group was destined to interfere in the City God exam, and they could not give up and leave, they could only prepare as much as possible.
"Oh, the local Zhao Chenghuang was actually a scholar from the previous dynasty. Later, when he went to the capital to take the exam, he was killed by demons by passing here. I don't know how long it took, but this Zhao Chenghuang might have received an adventure.
Somehow he became a local city god and did a lot of things. I have had several conversations with him. He is a good city god who is willing to do things."
Zen Master Huiran sighed. He originally had no magic power. If he had not had the same age as Zhao Chenghuang, he would still be a mortal. Then he continued:
"Later, there was a rumor that Zhao Chenghuang had obtained a broken secret realm, and then a man named Xubiao Ghost King came to snatch it. There was suspected that the support of a master from behind, and he actually trapped Zhao Chenghuang.
For this reason, the City God exam was found. Once someone gained a little power from the City God, whether it was to escape Zhao Chenghuang or kill that Zhao Chenghuang, it would be possible.”
So that's it, so many things are involved in exams in the City God.
Only then did Su Cheng understand why there was a case of taking the City God exam at this moment.
I just don’t know which side the scholar who invited Ning Caichen was.
"Zen Master, thank you for this. Do you know how to succeed in the City God exam?"
Su Cheng now has only this question left. He believes that once the Zhao Chenghuang can be rescued, the current crisis can be solved.
"I don't know, but... only certain people should be able to do this."
Zen Master Huiran shook his head. If he really knew the solution, he would not stay here.
Su Cheng recalled Ning Caichen's specialness. If it was really different from others, then the only one would be his protagonist.
"I just don't know, is it okay if Zhang Wuji, Kou Xu and others?"
This thought suddenly flashed through Su Cheng's mind, but at the same time, he also understood what to do next.
"Since that's the case, Zen Master, then we will leave first. The city god test is about to begin, and we have some other preparations."
Since they had received the news they wanted, Su Cheng and Zhao Min did not stop anymore, and then left Xingfu Temple directly.
