Chen Gong put her there and asked her if she could live, and she said that she had brought jewelry from Shangyuan Cave when she left, and she had no worries about food and clothing. Chen Gong nodded and was about to leave, but she called out to Chen Gong again and said, "The little girl is young, although she has a name, but from now on she will live in the world, can the real person give the little girl another name?"

Chen Gong looked at the little girl who was asleep, thought for a while, and said: "Just let her surname Bei, because of her different identity, she has come to the world now, and she will definitely encounter many difficulties in the future, I hope that no matter what happens to her, she will be able to be safe and sound, and her heart has always been exquisite and beautiful, her name is An Xiu, Bei An Xiu." ”

When the name was pronounced, the voice had not yet fallen, and the man had already gone away in the wind.

Zhu Shishi, the wife of Bai Miao, held the child in her hand, and found that there was a faint mark on her forehead, and the strange features on her body were slowly disappearing, and finally she became a normal human child.

She reached out and touched the seal on her daughter's forehead, and sighed, "Son, your name is given by Si Yulong God, and your fate is destined to be connected with him. ”

The afterglow of the sun shone on the little girl's face, and the hall was as red as blood.

A day had passed when Chen Gong returned to Crouching Tiger City, and he didn't know that the chief soldiers of Woxu City had sent people to look for him yesterday, after all, this was not his divine domain, and no one knew his divine name, and the induction and wind listening techniques would not let him know this.

Crouching Tiger City is the acropolis of Jun'an City, the capital of the Zhongyuan Kingdom, and attaches great importance to city defense, so there are only two city gates, one of which is in the direction of the capital Jun'an City, and the other is the opposite direction, which is the one that Chen Gong walked when he first entered the city.

When Chen Gong came in from outside the city again, there were still a few guards in front of the city gate. At that time, when the general soldier Wang Shiqi asked the scribe to look for Chen Gong, he once sent someone to ask them if they had seen Chen Gong leave, and they all said no. But now that he actually saw Chen Gong coming back from outside, he couldn't help but look up and down, secretly wondering when he went out, after all, ordinary people would not go out from another city gate, and then go around the city and enter the city from this side.

However, yesterday the scribe only came to ask, and did not say anything about arresting Chen Gong, so they didn't do anything, just looked at Chen Gong, and Chen Gong at this time was already a little unfathomable in their eyes.

"Chief, is there any rain tonight?" the leader of the guard asked.

"Yes, torrential rain. Chen Gong replied very simply.

The guards looked up at the sky in unison, and saw that the sky was full of red clouds, and it didn't look like it was going to rain at all, but this time no one laughed, but they all looked at him with a strange look, and they all hesitated in their hearts.

Chen Gong walked to the gate of the city, looked at them, pointed to the white cloth banner in his hand, and said, "Pray for rain and blessings, catch ghosts and demons." ”

After finishing speaking, no one spoke, Chen Gong laughed again, and then walked towards the city.

The leader of the guards who asked him immediately called for someone to report to the general army's office, but it was already dark when the guard returned, and the chief soldier and the scribe had gone to the capital city of Jun'an early in the morning.

At this moment, the sky darkened, and suddenly there was a thunderclap, and in an instant it rained heavily.

After Chen Gong entered the city, he stood still, but to his surprise, he found that there was land in this city, but there was no city god, and there were some unknown temples, but many temples were very small, and the gods in them were extremely weak. In addition, there is a small dragon king temple, look at the hideous dragon king statue inside, probably the dragon king river god in the small river not far from the city, although there is incense, there is also a temple to collect incense money, but the temple does not have divine light.

Chen Gong came to the small dragon king temple and set up a stall outside. More than a month later, his name has spread throughout Crouching Tiger City, and everyone knows that there is a Taoist priest in front of the Dragon King Temple in the east of the city who can measure the solar terms.

People have speculated about what Chen Gong came from, and linked him with the Dragon King Temple, many people said that he was the Dragon King's manifestation, otherwise how could he say the weather and rain season so accurately.

On this day, a scribe suddenly came to Chen Gong's stall, and the scribe saluted Chen Gong and said: "The real person is really a master, and in just one month, he has become famous as a crouching tiger, and the word has spread to Jun'an." On that day, a real person came from the west, and Wen did not know a real person, and he hoped to forgive his sins. ”

Chen Gong just looked at it, and there was no smile on his face, because he was the body of a god, and he couldn't see it at all if he just smiled. The scribe introduced himself again, saying that his name was Wen Junqing, and he was a staff member next to Wang Shiqi, the chief soldier, and said that the chief soldier liked to make friends with strange people and strange people, and wanted to invite Chen Gong to sit in the chief soldier's mansion.

Chen Gong did not refuse, and followed Wen Junqing to the General Soldier's Mansion.

For more than a month, although everyone didn't know his identity, he had a faint faith in this city, and that faith was like a faint fog in the mountains.

After entering the General Soldier's Mansion, Chen Gong realized that the General Soldier was not looking for him to make friends simply.

Now there are many gods in the Zhongyuan country, there is a god in every city, and many of the generals who defend one side are gods themselves, and many are Taoist disciples or mountain monsters walking in human form.

There was a battle in this Crouching Tiger City many years ago, but in the end there was no powerful god left, so now there are some small gods with low divine power, and the main reason is that there is the chief soldier Wang Shiqi, and the general gods can't spread their faith in the city at all, and they can't build temples at all.

And Chen Gong was the first god to enter Crouching Tiger City without being noticed by him.

Only the chief soldier in the general army mansion of Crouching Tiger City sat behind a big chair, and that Wen Junqing retreated after Chen Gong came in.

Compared with the chief soldier Wang Shiqi, who was wearing a military uniform in this mansion, Chen Gong's ordinary robe did not look cowardly for half a point, one was a tiger in the mountains, and the other was a flying crane in the clouds.

Wang Shiqi sat on a chair carved by Baoyu with gold trim, his feet on the table, and a long sword in his hand was gently wiping it with a silk handkerchief.

"I don't know which treasure mountain the real person is cultivating in?" Wang Shiqi asked.

Chen Gong, wearing a white cloth robe and holding a white flag in his hand, said, "The place where there are living beings is the place where I practice. ”

Wang Shiqi raised his eyes and looked at Chen Gong and said, "It turns out that he is not a cultivator, but a god. ”

After speaking, he continued to ask, "Is it a human or a monster?"

Chen Gong's eyes were cloudy, he looked at Wang Shiqi and said, "Since they are gods, why bother to divide humans and demons." ”

Wang Shiqi laughed, returned the sword into the sheath with a bang, and said loudly: "Hahahaha, that's a good point, since you are a god, you can't tell the difference between humans and demons." ”

After he put his sword into the sheath, he strode in front of Chen Gong, wearing a bronze armor on his body, making Wang Shiqi look much taller than Chen Gong.

Chen Gong was originally a god statue, much taller than ordinary people, but as time went by, his body was also changing, and it was already changing towards his previous figure, shrinking a lot, and it was a little thinner than Wang Shiqi, who was dressed in armor.

"So, did you come to my Crouching Tiger City because of the belief in Namancheng?" Wang Shiqi said suddenly aggressively.

Chen Gong had never encountered someone asking such a sentence so directly, although it was just a simple and direct question, but Chen Gong found that he couldn't answer it.

He didn't answer, but in his heart he wondered, did he come for faith, and if not, then for what?

"Hahahaha. Wang Shiqi laughed and said, "I have asked many gods about this sentence, do you want to know how they answered me?"

Chen Gong said: "General, please speak." ”

Wang Shiqi slowly retreated, a sneer flashed in his eyes, and said: "They can be divided into three kinds, one of which is to answer bluntly for faith, and the other is to say that the people of Crouching Tiger City are not enslaved by the gods of chaos. Others, like you, can't answer. I call the first two false gods, but what do you think the third one is?"

Chen Gong replied: "The third type is not as good as the previous two, as a god, for the sake of faith but dare not speak out, as a god, it is the duty of all beings not to be enslaved by the chaotic gods, but they dare not speak, so compared to the first two, the third type is even more unbearable." ”

Wang Shiqi looked back at Chen Gong again, the light in his eyes was like a sword, he stared at Chen Gong for a while, then suddenly laughed, and waved his hand with great disdain to signal Chen Gong to leave.

After Chen Gong went out for a while, Wen Junqing came in and asked, "General, what do you think of him?"

Wang Shiqi said: "The third possibility is that with the epidemic in the world, there is no ambition and no thought, cowardly and timid, and no responsibility, but it may also be a true god, self-discipline and prudence, and the task of redefining the order of heaven and earth Shinto, which kind of person do you think he is?"

"I don't know. Wen Junqing said.

Wang Shiqi sat back on the jade throne and said slowly: "I pressed him with force, he didn't look panicked, I ridiculed him, he didn't get angry, I asked him if he came here for faith, although he didn't answer, but he was thoughtful." Fearless, fearless, and thoughtful, this is a god who is still looking for his own direction. ”

"Then what is his strength?" Wen Junqing asked.

"In my opinion, in this heaven and earth, there is no god who is qualified to re-establish the order of the heavenly court, so the level of strength does not matter. Wang Shiqi said.

Chen Gong returned to the Dragon King Temple to count the wind and rain for people, and occasionally people came to pray for blessings, and even came to name their children and grandchildren.

On this day, he returned to the house where he lived, this house was a remote independent courtyard, there was a big locust tree in the courtyard, the night was thick, Chen Gong stood under the big locust tree, looked up at the leaves, there were insects on the leaves, there were birds' nests on the tree, and there were many names on the trunk that were engraved by children at some point, some were men and women, some were still very naïve, and some looked much more serious, and it can be seen from these fonts that the people who carved the words on the tree were of different ages.

If this is an ordinary tree, then it would be fine, but this tree is clearly a tree that has opened its spirit.

"You've been standing here, you should have seen a lot of things, right?" Chen Gong suddenly asked the old locust tree.

There was silence all around, only the rustle of leaves blown by the wind, and this was the third time Chen Gong had spoken to the old locust tree.

Just when Chen Gong thought that the old locust tree still wouldn't answer, the old locust tree spoke, and his voice spilled from among the leaves with a rustling sound.

"The reason why I don't answer is because I'm just a little dryad, and I am not qualified to speak to a god like you. The old locust tree said.

"I'm a god, I'm just an ordinary person with more power. Chen Gong said.

"Although I don't know how high your mana is, but you have the breath of a god on your body, and I won't be mistaken. The old locust tree said.
