The Chenghuang Temple in Qingtangwei is as prosperous as ever.

When Qin Shaoyou and the others came here, there were still many people in the temple offering incense and praying for blessings.

"Two commanders, do we want to clear the field?"

A red-clothed messenger under Qin Qiao'er saw that there were many people outside the temple, he couldn't help frowning slightly and asked in a low voice.

"No need." Qin Shaoyou shook his head gently.

He glanced around, and with his eyesight, nose, and hearing, he determined the position of Anshao, moved his footsteps quietly, and blocked Anshao's eyes with the help of the people around him, and quickly took out the ghost bead of illusion and handed it to Zhu Xiucai.

"Just use this."

On the way here, Qin Shaoyou had already figured out how to hide his eyes and ears, and told Zhu Xiucai about it.

So at this moment, Zhu Xiucai immediately recited the Great Summer Law in a low voice after receiving the illusion magic bead without any nonsense.

The illusion surged out of the illusion ghost beads, shrouded in Qin Shaoyou and others.

Let their words and deeds become what Qin Shaoyou wants them to see and hear in the eyes and ears of others and spies.

Under the cover of the ghost beads of illusion, Qin Shaoyou led the crowd into the Chenghuang Temple and went straight to the main hall where the statue of the Chenghuang was enshrined.

At this moment in the main hall, in addition to a temple blessing, there are several good men and women who are kneeling and praying.

Without Qin Shaoyou's instructions, Cui Youkui made the seal and whispered a spell.

In the hearts of those good men and women, a thought suddenly popped up, and they felt that they had done enough and should leave.

And the man who was sitting at the entrance of the temple with his eyes closed and dozing off, only opened his eyes and tapped the bronze chime on the table when he put money into the merit box, and suddenly felt that he should go out to sweep the yard, so he got up. Picked up the broom and walked out of the hall.

As for the outside of the hall, those who originally wanted to come in to burn incense and worship, also had other thoughts, no longer entering the hall, and turned to go elsewhere.

Seeing the success of the spell, Cui Youkui looked around triumphantly, wanting to hear everyone's exclamations and praises.

Unfortunately it didn't work out.

Everyone's attention was not on him at all, but watched Qin Shaoyou take out the statue of Jiutian Dangmo Patriarch from his satchel and placed it on the offering table.

Cui Yougui, who failed to pretend to force, complained angrily: "A bunch of guys who don't know the goods."

As soon as these words were said, Senior Brother Cui felt the eyes of the statue of the ancestor of Jiutian Dangmo glaring at him.

Brother Cui quickly closed his mouth, for fear of annoyed the ancestors, then it was not to pretend to fail, but to be embarrassed in public.

It was Qin Shaoyou who gave face, turned his head and smiled at him, boasting: "Senior Brother Cui is very capable."

Although this compliment is a bit unintentional, Cui Youkui is still very happy: "Among so many people, you are the only one who has some vision."

Qin Shaoyou didn't answer, he placed the statue of Jiutian Dangmo Patriarch, lit three sticks of incense, held it in his hand, bowed to heaven and earth, and said with a serious expression: "There is Cai Guizhong, the emperor of Mianyuan County, who is upright and upright, and protects one side. To make the people worry-free, and deeply loved by the people, I have come to Qingtangwei to assist in the investigation, and I also asked the emperor and the emperor to use the powers of the local city emperor for the time being..."

After praying, Qin Shaoyou inserted three incense sticks into the incense burner, took a step back, looked left and right, and saw nothing miraculous happening.

He was a little unsure, so he asked Cai Guizhong, who got out of the Wanmin umbrella and was standing beside him: "How about Lao Cai, do you have the power of the city emperor here?"

Cai Guizhong felt it seriously, shook his head and said, "No."

"Isn't this a loan? But isn't the patriarch without objection?"

Qin Shaoyou frowned and looked at the statue of the ancestor of Jiutian Dangmo, and then found that an incense burner that was originally placed beside it was moved to the statue of the ancestor.

Qin Shaoyou can be sure that this incense burner was definitely not moved by them.

So... is it the grandfather?

Oh, I see, the grandfather thinks that I didn't give him incense.

Qin Shaoyou, who understood it, quickly lit three more incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner in front of the statue of Jiutian Dangmo Patriarch.

Not only that, but he was very knowledgeable. He took out a piece of minced garlic demon silk that was placed in the arsenal of the human world and enshrined it in front of the patriarch's statue.

"Master Ancestor, although this minced garlic demon silk is a bit cold, the taste and effect are still good. You can make do with two bites first, and pamper your stomach. When I finish dealing with the eucalyptus of the Qingtang wizard, I will find a way to make Zhuyu. Make new dishes for you to eat. Maybe, after the Qingtang wizard, I can learn other more delicious new dishes."

This time, the face of Jiutian Dangmo Patriarch showed a satisfied smile, which made Qin Qiaoer and her red-clothed messengers look surprised.

Immediately afterwards, everyone saw strands of incense and wishing power, gushing out from the statue of the city emperor in the hall, and got into Cai Guizhong's body, and... the body of Qin Shaoyou next to him.

Is this a benefit given by the grandfather?

After Qin Shaoyou thanked the ancestor of Jiutian Dangmo with his hands, he used the breathing method, and he rudely absorbed the incense and wish power that had penetrated into his body, making Cui Youku and others beside him look envious and jealous.

All worship the ancestors, why is the ancestors so partial? Just because he can cook, can't we?

This scene in the hall was not seen by the people and crows who were stalking outside because of the influence of the ghost beads.

Even, they didn't even see the statue of Jiutian Dangmo Patriarch and Cai Guizhong. What they saw was Qin Shaoyou and others entering the Chenghuang Temple, offering incense and praying.

This matter was quickly reported to Marquis Dongchuan.

He was negotiating a battle plan with his confidants and generals. After listening to the report, he frowned and said, "That group of red-clothed messengers actually went to the Chenghuang Temple to offer incense again? What do they mean?"

A confidant general guessed: "Is it because I couldn't find the Qingtang wizard who killed Xiaohouye, and wanted to get clues by praying to God and worshipping Buddha?"

"Impossible! If the city emperor of Qingtangwei really exists, he should have appeared!"

Dongchuanhou frowned slightly, feeling that the red-clothed messenger should not be so stupid, pinning his hopes on the ethereal gods and Buddhas, but he couldn't understand their intentions.

Last time, after Qin Shaoyou went to the Chenghuang Temple to offer incense, he sent someone to investigate the Chenghuang Temple, but he did not find any problems, nor did he see the manifestation of the Chenghuang Ye.

Now the red-clothed messengers have collectively gone to the Chenghuang Temple. What are they trying to do?

Confused ~lightnovelpub.net~ Ma Chao brought new news.

"The red-clothed messenger left the Chenghuang Temple, saying that they had tracked down the whereabouts of the Qingtang wizard who killed Xiaohouye, and were ready to arrest him. They also sent people to the Houfu, and wanted to ask the Houye to dispatch troops to assist them. Block off the nearby streets and alleys to avoid hurting innocent bystanders, and at the same time prevent the Qingtang wizard from escaping."

"what?"

Dongchuanhou was shocked by the news and felt that he had been slapped in the face.

"They traced the whereabouts of the Qingtang wizard? How did they trace it? It's not really the city emperor, right?"

"I asked the red-clothed messenger who came to the Hou Mansion to ask for help. He said that he used a supernatural item and borrowed some ability of the city emperor, and then he found out the whereabouts of the Qingtang wizard. I want to inquire about the details of the supernatural item. , He said that it was the secret of the demon-suppressing driver, but he didn't want to say more. He only mentioned that the supernatural item had great side effects, so it was useless before. According to the report of the dark whistle, there is indeed a red-clothed messenger, after leaving the Chenghuang Temple, his footsteps are vain, and his body is suspected to be hollowed out..."

"It turns out to be like this. It seems that the supernatural item has the effect of spells such as divine strike and divine descent?"

Dongchuan Hou was relieved.

He knew that there were many supernatural items with magical effects collected and sealed in the Demon Suppression Division, so he believed this explanation.

After all, the use of supernatural objects to borrow the city emperor's supernatural powers is more convincing than the real manifestation of gods.

"Since they want reinforcements, let's send a group of people to the reinforcements, lest they come to our book and say that we are unwilling to help them solve the case. Remind the people sent to not be too active when encountering the enemy, let the red-clothed messenger Rush ahead and don't be used as a scapegoat."
