Three days later, Chen Mu stood at the entrance of the main hall of the City God Temple on the hillside of Qiluo Mountain, looking at the entire temple courtyard.

The ground in front of the door was neatly paved with bluestone slabs, and a three-legged, two-eared copper incense burner first caught his eye.

Three or five pine and cypress trees stood on both sides of the courtyard, and behind them was a moon gate leading to two small courtyards on the left and right.

Chen Mu had explored yesterday. The rooms in the courtyard were fully equipped with various furniture, but there was no sign of human habitation.

Glancing left and right, and looking up at the cloudless sky, Chen Mu walked around the incense burner and went straight to the front door.

Under the gate tower, there stood an armored general on each side, one holding a stick and the other holding a mace, with a majestic face.

Looking out through the open gate, there were no steps and stone roads in the near distance, and no white clouds and green mountains in the distance, but a foggy area.

Chen Mu skillfully mobilized the power of the Yin spirit and sent it into the statue of the armored general.

The next moment, white fog surged, and a huge translucent arc-shaped water curtain appeared in the air outside the door.

The light and shadow images on it kept changing, and a City God Temple exactly like the one behind him appeared on the water curtain.

The difference was that the City God Temple on the screen was crowded with people, men, women, old and young, dressed in different clothes, lined up to walk into the main hall to burn incense and kowtow, which was very lively.

And as his Yin Ling divine power moved, the picture kept changing, allowing him to observe the entire temple from all directions without dead angles. Even the surrounding green mountains and the county town at the foot of the mountain can be roughly browsed by adjusting the distance of the picture.

And as the picture changed, various noisy sounds also changed, giving him a sense of being in the scene.

"Interesting..." Chen Mu adjusted the picture with interest and kept watching.

"It's a pity that I can't walk out of this temple." After a while, Chen Mu fixed the content of the water curtain to the overlooking picture of the City God Temple, and then sat on the doorstep with his legs half crossed, while collecting information through the water curtain in front of him, thinking about his situation and shaking his head and sighing.

The water curtain shows the real scenery in the City God Temple of Luandu County, and the temple he is currently in is a small cave created by the miniature of the Qianli Huting capsule.

Through observations over the past few days, Chen Mu has basically determined that this small cave is hidden in the statue of the City God Temple of Luandu County.

He has tried many times, but no matter whether he flies or hides underground, he can't get out of the statue's small cave.

There are forbidden barriers similar to the cave of Qiandeng City around it. The boundary seems to be right in front of you, but in fact you can never touch the edge.

"Do you really have to guard this City God Temple for a hundred years?"

As long as he thinks about the boring life like being in prison in the future, Chen Mu can't help scratching his head.

"No wonder no one wants to do the work of a living god."

Before, at the gate of hell at the Naihe Bridge, he was pulled away from Le Dian by a special force and came to the Qiluo Mountain City God Temple in Luandu County in a daze.

The temple here was newly built, and there was no living god stationed in the statue. He came here with the deity contract. Even though the contract was mostly covered up, it was still discovered by the Taoist temple's prohibition and forcibly pulled into the statue to become a living god.

"Where did the seven pulling forces come from?"

"Is it that Qian Huan who did it?"

"Or is it that Cyber ​​Meng Po who messed up?" Chen Mu frowned and thought hard.

He always thought of the sight that Meng Shenjun cast on him before leaving the underworld.

"Did he find out that I knew the secret of the origin of the Yin spirit? So he trapped me here specially?"

"Or was it just that the method of using a substitute for a dead body revealed a flaw, and I was punished to guard the City God Temple for a hundred years?"

"I can't figure it out..." He kept recalling his previous experiences for the past three days, hoping to find some clues, but unfortunately he never succeeded.

"I don't know where Luandu County is exactly. Although there is spiritual energy in the earth, it is quite thin and can't support Qi training and cultivation."

"If I really have to wait a hundred years to leave the statue and then look for spiritual energy to condense the divine orifice, it will be too late." Chen Mu couldn't help shaking his head: "I can only try to see if the scripture in the main hall is useful."

...

Statue cave, the main hall of the city god.

A jade statue with wide robes, large sleeves, tall hats and wide belts is sitting in the middle of the hall. Its facial features are about 50% similar to Chen Mu, and its face is solemn and quite majestic.

There is a long incense table in front of the statue, and a copper incense burner is placed in the middle. There is nothing in the incense burner, but there is a continuous stream of green smoke.

The faint fragrance is diffused, and Chen Mu feels refreshed just by smelling it lightly. The slightly depressed mood before quickly calmed down and became peaceful.

"In order to make the living gods feel at ease in prison, they really took great pains."

"The hall is equipped with special incense to calm the mind and adjust the heart, and a full-range home theater is arranged at the door. Tsk! Interesting..." Chen Mu thought happily, turning his head to look at both sides of the hall.

Eight stone tablets as high as one person are placed on both sides of the hall, and a mysterious scripture is engraved on them.

He has carefully compared the two city god temples inside and outside through the water curtain in front of the door in the past few days.

The courtyard layout, house structure, table and chair placement, etc. are exactly the same, except for the scriptures on the stone tablets in the hall.

The stone tablets in the outside world are engraved with excerpts from the "Root Origin Sutra", but the stone tablets in the statue cave are engraved with "Lingbao Cardinal Chapter".

"Root Origin Sutra" is a widely circulated scripture. He had seen it in Daliang, a borderland, and earned a lot of copper coins by copying it. But he had never heard of or seen "Lingbao Cardinal Chapter".

"I'm afraid there's some landmine buried in it." Chen Mu stood in front of the stone tablet hesitantly.

He himself had created the Dongji Changsheng Sutra, which allowed people to receive the spirits of the demons, so he was quite wary of these scriptures of unknown origin.

"Forget it, let's give it a try. I don't want to go to jail for a hundred years."

He guessed that this scripture should be the standard for God on earth, and even if there were any problems, it would not be a big deal.

Moreover, it was not like he had done nothing in the past three days. Although he did not dare to recite the entire chapter, he had pondered most of the verses on the first stone tablet.

Although no new entries appeared on the gray wall, there was some vague feedback, but Chen Mu did not notice the danger.

"Practice."

Half a month later, the statue appeared in the cave.

On the east side of the courtyard of the City God's Temple, there was a round stone table under two cypress trees, and a brand new rocking chair was placed next to it. Chen Mu was lying in it at the moment.

His lips moved, and waves of rhythmic chanting surrounded him.

After a long while, Chen Mu raised his eyebrows and suddenly opened his eyes.

The gray wall emerges, and a new entry appears.

Cardinal Lingbao: 2/10000/level one;

A series of insights emerged in his heart, and Chen Mu's face flashed with joy.

"It's done!"

As he thought, the Yin Spirit's divine power trembled according to a special trajectory, and the whole person suddenly fell backward, and his breath became calm and weak for an instant, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

At the same time, Chen Mu suddenly appeared in the main hall of the Town God's Temple in Luandu County.

At this moment, he was wearing a gray loose robe, with no hair on the top of his head, and two silver lines between his eyebrows were shining brightly, and his face looked like that of a boy in his late teens.

"Cardinal Lingbao's Chapter can help the Heavenly Demon's true body escape from the statue cave?" Chen Mu was overjoyed.

"No, that's not right. It should be just a projection that can only allow spiritual thoughts to travel around."

He noticed that the people burning incense and worshiping in the temple had no reaction to his appearance.

There are even people who pass directly through his body, as if he is just an invisible light and shadow.

"What is this? I'm afraid that the gods in this world will be boring and lonely, so they specifically allow the gods to express themselves?"

"Why does it feel like this living god is increasingly in jail?" Chen Mu couldn't laugh or cry.

"Forget it, it's better than being trapped in the statue. This at least opens a crack in the statue's restraint."

"If you master the Cardinal Lingbao Chapter deeply enough, there is no guarantee that you will not be able to completely escape from the God's Cave." Chen Mu looked at the new entries on the gray wall in front of him, feeling quite confident.

"I don't want to think about it anymore, let's go to Luandu County at the foot of the mountain first."
