Chapter 454: The City God’s Teachings
Shang Lu was also unsure of the attitude of the City God.

However, the City God stopped after smashing the mountain of flesh formed by the He thieves.

He neither attacked Shang Lu and his seven men, nor stopped them from burning the flesh and soul of the He thief. I guess he had no hostility towards them.

Moreover, Shanglu had just burned incense here. As the saying goes, one who eats the food of his owner shall be grateful. I believe the City God will not be hostile to him.

What’s more, there is the Tubo seal on the back of Shang Lu’s hand, which means they are comrades-in-arms.

So, under the eager gazes of the Rat Patrolman and Lu Dao and others, Shang Lu stepped forward, crossed his arms and saluted, saying, “Seven of us disciples have rashly intruded into this place and disturbed the City God. Please forgive us, Lord God.”

“You were dragged here, what crime have you committed?”

The City God behind the table opened his mouth, which had just grown flesh and blood but not yet formed skin, and spoke with a little air leaking out: “Instead, you helped me to eliminate the evil spirit that occupied this place, so I should give you credit for it!”

Upon hearing these words, the brush and book on the table immediately floated into the air and started writing on their own.

It seemed as if it was really recording the achievements of the seven Shanglu people.

I just don’t know how to redeem the achievements recorded by the City God?
Shang Lu was very curious, but did not ask much. He just bowed and expressed his gratitude together with Lu Dao, Zishu Xunshou and others.

“No need to say thank you.”

The City God slowly shook his head, raised his hand, and pointed outside the temple: “You are living people, you cannot stay in this dark and dead place for long, you should quickly leave the Huanyang Well and return to the human world.”

The tightly closed door of the City God Temple immediately opened by itself.

But Shang Lu was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he bowed and said, “Disciple was just about to ask the City God, we just walked along the gravel road outside the temple, but ended up turning back. I don’t know how to leave here? Where should we go to find the Huanyang Well?”

The City God actually gave some advice.

“This place is chaotic and treacherous, and so is the road. If you want to find the Well of Resurrection without being affected, you must obtain the Yin Fire Wax Oil from the Naihe Paper Bridge. Use it as a guide for a lamp, and silently recite the ‘Hell Breaking Curse’, and then you can find the Well of Resurrection.”

When Shang Lu heard this, he looked at Lu Dao and the other six, and they all felt lucky.

Fortunately, they had collected a lot of wax before. Although most of it was used up when crossing the paper bridge, there was still some left, which should be enough.

The seven people immediately thanked the City God for his guidance and were about to say goodbye and leave.

“Wait a minute.”

This time, it was the City God who stopped them.

Lu Dao and the other six people were terrified, fearing that the City God would suddenly go crazy and something unexpected would happen.

But the City God said, “I have a few Yincha tokens here. You can carry them with you. If you encounter strange things or evil spirits along the way, take them out and you can travel freely without any trouble.”

Piles of flesh and blood flew out from the flesh-and-blood statue in the hall and fell into the hands of Shang Lu and his seven companions.

In an instant, it turned into black tokens.

You can vaguely see words such as “Soul-stealing” and “Soul-binding” engraved on the front and back of the sign respectively.

Lu Dao and the other six people were immediately shocked and delighted.

They really didn’t expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise.

The City God not only showed the way, but also gave a token.

Such things are extremely rare, let alone in dangerous places, even in ordinary secret places.

If these Yincha tokens are really as useful as the City God said, it would not be a problem for them to leave the dangerous place of the underworld.

“Thank you, Lord City God!” Lu Dao and the other six held the Yincha token tightly and saluted the City God again.

At the same time, the Rat Patrolman also glanced at Shang Lu and said to himself, “It is indeed a great opportunity!” There was a bit of scrutiny in his eyes, but no one knew what he was thinking.

Shang Lu also saluted the City God, with more surprise on his face than Lu Dao and the other six.

What he got from the City God was not only a Yincha token, but also a reminder: “The token contains a set of techniques for refining evil spirits and proving the Dao, which can help you refine the evil spirits in your body for your own use. Don’t worry, after you get out of the underworld, find a place with strong Yang fire and then try to practice.”

After giving the seven people the Yincha tokens, the City God stopped talking.

If they had not seen the flesh and blood still wriggling and growing on his body, the seven of them would have doubted whether he had turned back into the state of a puppet of dry bones.

The seven people looked at each other, said nothing more, and left the City God Temple.

After they left the City God Temple, the gate was immediately closed.

Shang Lu vaguely heard that the City God in the temple was talking to someone.

But I couldn’t hear clearly who he was talking to or what he was talking about.

Shang Lu was just wondering, but he heard the Rat Patrolman say to him with a smile: “Shang Lu, this time we were able to get the Yincha Token, thanks to you again.”

“The token was given by the City God. It has nothing to do with me.”

Shang Lu quickly waved his hands, not daring to take credit.

But not only the Rat Patrol, even Lu Dao said with a smile: “If you hadn’t had a great opportunity, the City God would not have bestowed the Yincha Token. We really benefited from you again this time.”

While they were talking, Lu Dao and Zi Shu did not stop their patrol.

Lu Dao destroyed the altar in front of the temple and rescued the bodies of the three wizards.

The crawling corpses surrounding the altar tried to attack him, but were all killed by his witchcraft.

The three corpses had been eaten to pieces by the mountain ghost’s evil power.

Lu Dao chanted a spell, set fire to them and burned them to ashes, took off their robes, and wrapped the ashes together with their witch jade tablets, ready to take them out of the underworld and give them to their relatives and friends to arrange their funeral. The Rat Patrol patted the leather bag containing the Yin Fire wax oil, and immediately a drop of wax oil flew out of it and was ignited by his witchcraft.

The burning wax did not fall to the ground. Even though the Rat Patrol had removed the witchcraft aura, it still floated in the air like a firefly.

Seeing this, Lu Dao, who had collected the ashes, turned back and asked Shang Lu and the others: “Can you break the Hell Curse?”

Shang Lu, Lu Yang and Bai Lingxu all shook their heads, only Gongshu Ling said she could.

Lu Dao immediately taught the Hell-Breaking Curse to Shang Lu and the other two.

Fortunately, the spell was not long and the witch seal was not complicated. The three of them memorized it quickly. After forming the witch seal with their hands, they silently recited the hell-breaking spell in their hearts.

When the seven people began to recite the spell silently, the burning ball of Yin Fire Wax suddenly flew out along the gravel road.

Shang Lu and his seven companions quickly chased after them.

But after chasing for a few steps, he suddenly saw two people appear on the gravel road ahead.

One is fat, one is thin; one is laughing, one is crying.

It was the “Living Impermanence” and “Dead Fate” who had locked them up in the City God Temple before.

When the seven people saw the “impermanence of life” and the “fate of death”, they were all shocked and thought to themselves that it was not good.

It’s definitely too late to run.

I can only put my hope on the Yincha tokens in my hands, hoping that they really work.

At this moment, “Impermanence of Life” and “Fate of Death” also saw Shanglu and his seven companions.

But this time, they did not throw out compliments of “fame” and gold ingots of “profit” to suppress and lock up the seven people of Shanglu and send them back to the City God Temple again. Instead, they said “thank you for your hard work on patrol”.

It was as if they treated the seven of them as patrolling ghost messengers.

Shang Lu and the others also replied with “thank you for your hard work”, but they did not dare to let their guard down at all.

However, “Living Impermanence” and “Death Has Fate” did not seem to recognize these seven people as the ones who had been captured by them and taken to the City God Temple before. They let them pass by without stopping them.

“call……”

After they walked away, the seven of them finally let out a breath.

He glanced back and saw that “Life is Impermanent” and “Death is Fate” had not moved. He was surprised and cheered in a low voice:
“The Yincha token given by the City God is really useful!”

“With this token, there will be no problem leaving the Netherworld. I just don’t know if I can take it out of the Netherworld. If I can, then I will be able to explore the Netherworld with twice the result with half the effort next time!”

While they were discussing in a low voice, Yinhuo Wax Oil stopped.

Because once they speak, they will stop silently reciting the hell-breaking spell in their hearts.

Seeing this situation, the seven people stopped talking and continued to silently recite the Hell-Breaking Spell, letting the Yin Fire Wax Oil lead them out of this den of ghosts as quickly as possible.

We can discuss other things after we return to the human world.

Although the seven of them were still walking on the same gravel road as before, with the guidance of the Yin Fire Wax Oil, they really did not go back to the City God Temple.

During this time, the Yin Fire wax oil released by the Rat Patrol burned out, and everyone took turns to continue the fire several times, and finally they did not lose the guidance and get lost.

While following the Yinhuo Wax Oil along the way, Shang Lu and his companions encountered several groups of strange creatures and thieves, and also saw the corpses of several wizards.

Because of the Yincha token given by the City God, the evil creatures in the underworld were not hostile to the seven of them.

As for the He thief, without the help of the strange creature, even with the blessing of the mountain ghost, he was no match for the seven people led by the Rat Patrol and Lu Dao.

Often they were killed in one encounter.

As for the bodies of the wizards, they were burned into ashes by the seven people of Shanglu.

To bring them out of the dangerous place of Hades and bring them “home” together with the three wizards before.

I don’t know how long I followed the Yinhuo Wax Oil.

Suddenly, Rat Patrol’s eyebrows raised and his nose moved slightly, and he smelled something dangerous.

He raised his right hand, signaling everyone to stop, and quickly extinguished the burning Yin Fire Wax.

“Xun Shou, what happened?” Lu Dao asked in a low voice.

The Rat Patrol Officer pointed forward, and everyone looked and saw a group of people standing far ahead.

Among them there was a person whom they were all familiar with, he was the Supervisor of the Witch Academy of Baiyi County.

The group of people stood around one place.

The place looked vaguely like a well, and next to the well there grew a towering tree.

“Is that the Huanyang Well? Why didn’t the Supervisor and his men leave through the well, but instead stood around it in such a strange way?”

Lu Yang frowned, realizing that something was wrong. While whispering, he made sword gestures with his hands and made preparations secretly.

Not only Lu Yang, everyone noticed at this moment that something was wrong with Jian Cheng and others.

They seemed to be under a spell of immobilization, standing still around the Huanyang Well, unable to move.

At the same time, everyone also saw that the towering tree beside the well exuded a demonic aura!
