Although Wu Jiang had always boasted about his ability to drink, now that he was lying on the bed, the alcohol and sleepiness were still clinging to his brain. As soon as he plugged in his phone to charge, he was completely enveloped in the overwhelming sleepiness.

Just when he was not dreaming, the next second, Wu Jiang felt that the surrounding environment suddenly changed.

The night wind was bitingly cool, making the hair on the back of his neck tingle.

Wu Jiang opened his eyes suddenly and found that he was standing outside the gate of the Town God's Temple in Cangming County!It was completely different from the daytime when the incense was flourishing and the crowds were bustling. At this moment, the temple was shrouded in the thick darkness of night. The lanterns at the corners of the eaves were glowing with a faint green light. There was not a trace of sandalwood in the air, only a clear and solemn cold air, which seeped into the bones and made people ache.

"Is this... a dream?" Wu Jiang pinched his thigh hard, and the clear pain shot straight to Tianling Gai, making him completely confused. He was also confused as to whether he was dreaming or not. "Did he drink fake wine?"

At this moment, the temple door is wide open, and there is a weak candlelight inside, as if it is waiting for him to come.

Wu Jiang’s heart raised to her throat, and she kept mumbling: “Ancestor bless me, ancestor help me, no matter if you are true or not, you are my ancestor at this moment!”

At this point, we can’t care whether the legend is true or false, let’s hold on to the “leg” first.

He stared at the open door, his calves trembling, but he knew he couldn't escape, so he could only shrink his neck and move in quietly.

The temple was so quiet that you could hear your own heartbeat. The layout was completely different from what you saw during the day - there were several more branch halls on both sides of the main hall. The lights in each hall were flickering, but not even half a human figure or half a ghost could be seen. It was indescribably weird.

Wu Jiang slowly moved into the main hall and saw an old man sitting on the main seat in the hall. He had a pale face and was wearing an ancient official robe embroidered with cloud patterns. His eyebrows were majestic and he was looking down at him.

Wu Jiang's heart skipped a beat, and his desire to live was instantly overflowing. Before the other party could speak, he knelt down with a "pop" and kowtowed quickly.

"My descendant, Wu Jiang, pays homage to our ancestors! I wish you eternal blessings and a life as long as the heavens!" The ability to talk sweetly comes into full play at this moment.

"Ahem...you kid is so smart. Now you know how to recognize your ancestors." The old man's rich voice was filled with a hint of joking, breaking the solemnity in the hall.

Wu Jiang was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his head, his eyes were wide open, full of disbelief: "You...are you really the ancestor of my Wu family, the Lord God of Cangming County?"

"You made a wish during the day, didn't you hope that my ancestor would give you a dream, that you would make a lot of money every day and be surrounded by beautiful women? I have fulfilled your wish and called you here." The tone of the City God was calm, but every word was heartbreaking.

When Wu Jiang heard this, he wished he could slap himself in the face - you're so mean!

The City God in the main seat looked at his annoyed look and couldn't help but laugh out loud. He slowly said: "I, Wu Chong, served as the City God of Cangming County during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. I was worshiped by the villagers and protected the peace of the people. You are the twenty-fourth generation descendant of me. After hearing your 'bold words' during the day, I specially invited you to come here to recognize me."

When he said the last sentence, the amusement in his eyes almost overflowed.

Wu Jiang’s brain suddenly shut down. The family legend that he had ridiculed as a joke since he was a child turned out to be true!He opened his mouth, but no sound came out for a long time. He just knelt down in a daze, his eyes empty.

Seeing this, the City God did not rush. After a chuckle, his tone gradually became more solemn: "You are one of the few descendants of my Wu family with innate aura. I am looking for you today because I have entrusted you with a good thing."

"Some time ago, Emperor Fengdu saw the remarkable results of anti-corruption in the Yang world, so he decided to launch an investigation and rectification in the underworld. During this period, many corrupt and derelict officials in the underworld were eliminated, leaving many positions vacant. I also have meritorious service in guarding Cangming County. I will be promoted to Fucheng Huang in the near future and will be transferred from here."

He changed the topic and looked at Wu Jiang with a burning gaze: "I give you two choices. One, you can start as a secret agent under me and be responsible for attracting the souls of the dead within the jurisdiction. There is basically no danger." Page (1/3)
