Two Worlds: I Became an Immortal

Chapter 175 Yingshui City God
This temple priest?
Song Yunyuan was stunned when he heard this. What do you mean by "it will crack naturally after a long time"? As a temple priest, don't you worry about the people?
Besides, the City God doesn’t blame you?

When Song Yunyuan thought of this, he was confused and was about to say something, but suddenly his heart moved and he swallowed the words back.

"I see. I was the one who said too much."

Song Yunyuan asked for a stick of incense, and after inserting it into the incense burner, he saw some merits going up and then sinking into the clay statue.

The cracks on the clay statue actually healed slightly at this moment.

However, the temple keeper standing by just looked at Song Yunyuan happily and did not notice this scene.

Upon seeing this, Song Yunyuan didn't say much. He just looked at the clay statue meaningfully and turned to go to a nearby teahouse.

After Song Yunyuan ordered tea and asked Song Yunyuan to bring a few plates of cakes, a pale middle-aged man was seen at the entrance of the teahouse and walked into the teahouse.

After the middle-aged man came in, he looked around. When he saw Song Yunyuan sitting there, his face suddenly lit up with joy and he walked over quickly.

"May I ask the Immortal's name?"

Looking at Song Yunyuan in front of him, the middle-aged man considered his words and asked carefully.

"I am not worthy of the title of Immortal. I, Song Yunyuan, am just a wandering cultivator. Please take a seat, Lord."

Song Yunyuan stretched out his hand and invited the Lord in front of him to sit down.

After hearing what Song Yunyuan said, the Lord of the Mansion did not take a seat immediately, but bowed deeply, "So it's Immortal Master Song. Thank you for the merits you have added. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have the ability to come out."

Having said that, the City God in front of him couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although Song Yunyuan said that he was not worthy of the title of immortal, he did not take it seriously and just thought it was Song Yunyuan's humble words.

You must know that after burning the incense stick just now, all the rich merits were directly fed into his mouth. He felt that no one else except immortals could give out such merits at will.

Therefore, the City God in front of him was naturally extremely respectful to Song Yunyuan. In addition, considering his recent experiences, he thought he could only ask Song Yunyuan for help.

"It's just a small favor. Please sit down and talk."

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to change the address, Song Yunyuan no longer forced it, but the doubts in his heart still needed to be answered by the other party.

This time, the Lord of the Mansion did not refuse. He sat down upon hearing this. When he saw Song Yunyuan pouring tea for him, he quickly tapped the table to express his gratitude.

"I just went to the City God Temple and saw the clay statue of the Lord of the Mansion was broken into pieces. I'm afraid that my Taoist practice will be lost. The temple priest was also very disrespectful. Why is that?"

It was only at this time that Song Yunyuan asked the question that was in his mind.

Could it be related to the appearance of so many goblins in the local area?
Upon hearing this, Yingshui City God gave a bitter smile, his expression was somewhat lonely and sad, and one could vaguely see a bit of shame and anger.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Immortal."

After saying this, he let out a long sigh, "This time, it's because I'm not as skilled as others. I think the Immortal has also seen how many goblins there are here."

Song Yunyuan looked solemn when he heard this. "There are many demons here. The demonic energy has turned this place into a demon den. I thought the demons here were so unscrupulous that they had the approval of the Lord of the Mansion."

Upon hearing this, the City God of Yingshui smiled bitterly. "If they are just some goblins and they don't do anything harmful, then it's fine to let them stay here. But with so many goblins gathered here, the evil spirits will entangle and fight, and it is inevitable that they will harm mortals. How can I agree to this?"

"So, I led a group of underworld judges and underworld officials to keep the demons out of Yingshui County. I never expected that these demons came with such a fierce force, and many of them were very powerful. In the fight, all the underworld officials under my command were beaten to ashes, and even my clay body was shattered."

"If it weren't for the merits bestowed by the Immortal, I would have perished in no time."

When the City God said this, he could hardly hide his grief and anger.

The City God of a place was bullied by demons to this extent, and countless of his evil officials were killed or injured.

In such a situation, how can I not feel sad and angry?

When Song Yunyuan heard this, he fell silent.

Previously, I thought that these monsters did not cause trouble here so the City God agreed to this matter. However, I did not expect that the City God here would be beaten to pieces by the clay statue.

No wonder the City God is so sad and angry at this moment.

"It is a great honor to meet you today. Could you please help me?"

The City God in front of him looked at Song Yunyuan, then gritted his teeth and didn't care about anything else.

"You want me to kill the goblins in Yingshui County?"

Upon hearing this, Song Yunyuan immediately understood what the other party wanted.

Upon hearing this, the City God nodded immediately and said, "With so many demons gathering here, they will surely endanger the people here in the long run. Even if we don't kill them, please drive them away from here."

The City God gritted his teeth and said this, worrying that Song Yunyuan would refuse this matter.

Song Yunyuan frowned upon hearing this, then sighed and said, "I really cannot agree to this for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Yingshui City God was stunned for a moment, and then felt puzzled.

From what he had just seen, Song Yunyuan was not the kind of cultivator who would stay out of things that did not concern him. If that were the case, why would he need to use his merits to help him?

Since he was not that kind of person, why did the other party refuse when he asked him to take action?
The Yingshui City God was puzzled, so Song Yunyuan could only explain, "Does the Lord know the Black Cloud Immortal?"

Black Cloud Immortal?

Upon hearing this name, Yingshui City God was stunned at first, but then he nodded immediately, "Of course I know. This Black Cloud Immortal has become very famous recently. Many fairies here come because of him."

"However, I am a little confused about this Black Cloud Immortal. If this immortal is willing to enlighten some fairies, I have no right to interfere. But why does he allow these fairies to gather in the place where mortals live?"

Speaking of this, Yingshui City God frowned deeply, looking extremely puzzled.

And these words were actually very polite when they came to his mouth. After all, it was an immortal like Song Yunyuan who was here, and he didn't know what the relationship between the other party and the Immortal Black Cloud was.

Therefore, his words were naturally much more polite.

If that were not the case, his words would not be what they say.

"I came here to look for the Black Cloud Immortal. Outsiders all call him an immortal, but in fact, he may be a great demon from thousands of years ago."

Song Yunyuan's face became serious, and he spoke very seriously.

Yingshui City God was also stunned when he heard Song Yunyuan's words. Wasn't he an immortal? How did he become a monster?

"This demon is extremely powerful. During the Tianyou era, countless Taoist masters wanted to kill it. However, the demon was too powerful to kill it, so they could only suppress it and use it to wear it down."

"But this approach has no effect. If we let it escape, it will probably bring disaster to the people of the world. This kind of big monster can ignore countless magical powers and spells. When ordinary cultivators encounter this big monster, they can only let it kill them." After Song Yunyuan finished speaking, the Yingshui City God turned pale.

I originally thought that with so many monsters here it would be extremely difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect that the Black Cloud Immortal was also a big monster, and even more difficult to deal with than these monsters.

If no magical power or Taoist magic can deal with it, then how should we respond? Isn't it the same as being unable to kill it?
"I came here this time just to target this old Black Cloud Monster. If I were to deal with the monsters here right now, I'm afraid it would disturb the old Black Cloud Monster, and then I wouldn't be able to find the location of its seal."

"Judging from the current situation, this old Black Cloud demon has not escaped yet. In this case, there is still hope."

Song Yunyuan's words made the City God in front of him silent.

He also understood what Song Yunyuan meant.

Compared with these goblins, the old Black Cloud Goblin was very difficult to deal with just now. Although the goblins here are very powerful and numerous, they can still be dealt with.

But the old Black Cloud Demon is different. Once he escapes, there is no way to deal with him.

Therefore, even if these monsters start to wreak havoc here, we cannot take action, lest we fail to find the location of the Black Cloud Monster.

Thinking of this, Yingshui City God couldn't help but sigh deeply, his face full of worry.

He had already understood what Song Yunyuan meant, and he knew that there was nothing wrong with what Song Yunyuan did. However, he felt unbearable when he thought about the monsters causing so much trouble here but he could not do anything about it.

"Does the Lord know where this old demon Black Cloud is? If we know where he is, we can find him directly and kill him, which will also solve the problem here."

The most important reason for looking for the City God is, of course, the hope to get some information from him.

Upon hearing this, the City God gave a bitter smile. He had heard of the name of this immortal before, but before he could investigate carefully, these goblins frequently entered Yingshui County.

In this way, all his energy was used to guard against these goblins, and naturally he had no time to pay attention to the old Black Cloud Monster.

Later on, he fought with those goblins, and ended up in this state. How could he investigate the matter anymore? He was lucky that he didn't die and disappear.

Seeing the City God shaking his head, Song Yunyuan couldn't help but frown, "I heard that a mortal here has seen the Black Cloud Old Monster, and then sold the precious medicine and became rich for life. I wonder if you can ask this mortal if he knows where the Black Cloud Old Monster is?"

Since the other party doesn't know, then you can only ask someone who knows.

Upon hearing this, the City God responded immediately. Knowing that this matter also concerned Yingshui County, he naturally did not dare to neglect it.

"Please wait for a moment, I will be back soon."

After saying this, Yingshui City God turned around and left without any delay.

Seeing this, Song Yunyuan also stayed in the teahouse, waiting for the master to come back.

Song Yunyuan didn't have to wait long. After about half a cup of tea, Yingshui City God came back with a rather unhappy look on his face.

Just now, I saw Yingshui City God sitting down, and then I heard him say, "I just asked a few mortals who had seen the Black Cloud Old Monster when they entered the mountain, but they didn't know how they saw the Black Cloud Old Monster."

“I just know that after entering the mountain, as I walked, it was as if I had entered a fog, and then I saw the old black cloud monster.”

"As for how I saw him and where he came from, I have no recollection at all."

Song Yunyuan was not surprised by the words of Yingshui City God.

If she could really get something out of it, Madam Wu would not have said that the Black Cloud Demon was hard to find.

I think the other party also used some tricks.

Originally, Song Yunyuan asked the other party to go look for it because he wanted to hold out a little hope.

"I see. That's what I expected."

Song Yunyuan nodded slightly, which made the City God a little uneasy.

It is not a good thing to ask Song Yunyuan for help but be unable to help him at all.

"In this case, does the Immortal have any other options?"

The Black Cloud Demon is hiding quite deeply, so I’m afraid it will be difficult to find him.

"There is no other way. We can only go into the mountains and search for him. Who knows, maybe we can find the Black Cloud Demon."

You can’t find it by asking, so you can only rely on yourself to look for it slowly.

"By the way, have many people gone missing in Yingshui City recently?"

Song Yunyuan had no way to ask the goblins, nor could he count the situation, so he could only ask the City God about the situation of the people.

After hearing this, the City God thought for a moment, then waved his hand and a case file appeared in his palm.

"Local residents are not often missing, but there are many travelers and merchants from other places. Many of them are recorded in the case files, but we don't know where they disappeared from."

"All the people patrolling the underworld day and night have died, and no ghosts have come to report. It is really impossible to investigate this matter. Perhaps these people have been doomed by the Black Cloud Demon, and even their ghosts cannot escape."

The Yingshui City God probably knew what Song Yunyuan meant, so he explained that his temple did not have the souls of these people.

Perhaps these people have been killed by the Black Cloud Demon, or perhaps they have simply disappeared.

However, there are already hundreds of people registered here, so it is unlikely that they are missing.

Song Yunyuan nodded slightly when he heard this. "In that case, I won't waste any more time here. I will go into the mountains to look for that old demon."

"Are you going now, instead of waiting till tomorrow morning?"

Seeing that Song Yunyuan was about to leave, the City God in front of him was stunned for a moment, and then he showed concern.

"These people and monsters all regard the Black Cloud Monster as an immortal and want to seek this immortal fate. If that's the case, they are naturally pious. I just arrived today and entered the mountain, doesn't it show that I am very pious?"

"In this way, maybe the old black cloud monster will take a fancy to me!"

When Song Yunyuan said this, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an intriguing smile.

The Yingshui City God was a little puzzled when he heard this, but seeing that Song Yunyuan had already made up his mind, it was not easy to stop him. He immediately nodded and watched Song Yunyuan leave.

There are many monsters in Yingshui County right now, so as the City God, it is not convenient for him to move around. It is because the teahouse here is very close, otherwise he would not be able to leave the City God Temple.

Being the City God to such an extent really made him angry.
