I played the world alone

Chapter 366 Despicable Villain ([-]-in-[-])

After observing for a while, Lu Chen suddenly thought of a possibility.

His figure flashed and he used the Earth Escape spell to burrow underground.

Sure enough, some remnants of the original City God's Temple were soon found about a few tens of meters underground.

It was probably due to flash floods or earthquakes over the years, so it was buried directly underneath. Later, a new city was built on it, so naturally no one knew about it.

Lu Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw the scene in front of him.

He originally thought that the mythical story he created could be circulated for at least a few hundred years. It should not be difficult to keep the City God's Temple from falling down and even keep the temple prosperous.

Who could have expected such a natural disaster?
Thinking about it this way, the third task I originally arranged might not be because of the City God Temple.

Maybe it was recorded in some family rules and admonitions passed down by Mr. Wang, so some people would remember them.

This is really a deliberate act of God's will that the flowers fail to bloom and the willows planted unintentionally create shade.

After sighing with emotion, he began to think about how to get the City God Temple out of the ground.

After all, this is indispensable to your own myth.

……

It seems that this urban village will be demolished soon!

This news spread a lot early, and the neighbors seemed to be talking about it. Although there was no definite news, there were people who had noses and eyes. It made some people panic for a while.

It was only recently that documents were actually released. It seems that the government is collecting opinions on this demolition and wants to build a landmark building nearby.

The vast majority of people are happy. After all, it is really uncomfortable for the old and poor people here to live in small apartments. Many of them are rented out. It would be even better if they can buy a new house and get money for it.

But naturally there are some who are not happy, such as those migrant workers who rent here because the rent is low.

After the official demolition of this place begins, they will start to move out. It remains to be seen whether they can find a more suitable place. The rent will definitely be more expensive.

In addition, there are some local residents who have long been attached to this place and do not want to move away.

They can also be regarded as important members of the nail households who stick to this place.

Overall, the ratio of the two is about half and half, and they usually argue with each other.

At night, there were several tables in a small activity venue at the entrance of the alley. Several old people were playing chess here, and there were many people watching.

"Old Wang, this move of yours is a bit bad!"

An old man raised a chess piece, smiled, and pressed it on the chessboard.

"General!"

Wang Luoxiong, who is now over 70 years old, has white hair, but is still in good spirits, frowned and looked at the chessboard, hesitated for a while, and finally put down the chess piece and laughed.

"Oh, it's not good anymore as I get older. When I was young, I wouldn't have made such a low-level mistake."

"Hehe, you can't accept old age." The old man opposite smiled, "So, don't think so much, just sell the house here with peace of mind, wouldn't it be good to buy a new house for retirement? ?”

"I've heard it all. When your grandson gets married, the house, car and bride price the woman wants are quite high, right? Why are you so stubborn?"

The old man persuaded me earnestly.

Wang Luoxiong knew that the other party's son seemed to be engaged in the demolition and reselling business here. Taking advantage of the fact that the demolition hadn't started yet, he wanted to buy the house first and then earn compensation for the difference.

This business had nothing to do with connections and capital, so it was impossible to do it. He could probably guess that.

Since it is profitable, I naturally want to solve all the hard problems here. As the one who has lived here for the longest time, I am also the one with the clearest opposition. I can basically be regarded as a typical example.

If he can be dealt with, then everything else will fall into place.

But the other party thought about one thing wrong.

"It's not that I don't want to move, let alone that I want to raise prices. If the government really wants to make big moves here that will benefit the people, then I, Lao Wang, will be the first to move without saying anything! And I will also take the initiative to publicize it. , take the lead and bring everyone together!”

Wang Luoxiong held a chess piece between his fingers and smiled, regardless of the other person's face becoming increasingly ugly.

"But it is definitely not the case that before specific policies are released, these houses will be sold to you private companies casually, and then they will become the capital and conditions for you to bargain with the authorities and earn profits."

"Old Wang, what you said is a bit unpleasant!"

The old man opposite looked a little angry, especially when he heard the whispers of those around him, which made him a little embarrassed.

"We are all old neighbors and have been familiar with each other for a long time. What's the point of making a little difference? Besides, we still have to wait for the official documents to come out, and we have to wait for negotiation and signing of the contract. Who knows how many years and months it will take. Didn't I also consider it? Your situation is urgent, so can I help you think about it?"

Wang Luoxiong shook his head: "You are so confident, why don't you tell me why the old Liu family moved out in such a hurry?"

The old man's face suddenly froze, his confidence was a little low, and his eyes dodge slightly: "They are going to move, I didn't know. Maybe they just took the money and left early..."

"But how did I hear that the grandson of the Liu family who had just entered kindergarten seemed to have been picked up by a few strangers after school. The young couple searched for a long time and almost called the police. Later they found out that he was taken to a classmate's home. I played for two hours and didn’t even notify my family..."

This incident was quite a big fuss at the time, and many people helped to find it, and almost called the police. However, it turned out to be a mistake, and he was returned safely.

But it sounds simple, but how many tricks are there?

The old man's expression changed, and he shouted with some sternness: "Wang! Don't slander others! Do you think my son will send someone to kidnap a child?"

"I didn't say anything." Wang Luoxiong said calmly, "Whoever feels guilty knows it in his heart. After all, some words are too unpleasant to be said."

"But after that day, I saw Lao Liu's family packing their things in a hurry and moving out within two days. Then there were several businesses nearby that were similar, and I heard that they were all priced at a price that was not significantly lower than the current market. I sold it to your son for the price."

"Listen, can this not make people suspicious?"

The old man had a sullen face. Seeing that others around him were pointing fingers at him, he didn't want to stay here any longer, so he got up and left angrily.

Before leaving, he did not forget to leave a message: "You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. Lao Wang, think about it for yourself."

After he left, the people around him cautiously gathered around.

"Uncle Wang, please be careful..."

Many people can guess what Wang Luoxiong just said, but they dare not say it openly for fear of the other party's retaliation.

Lao Wang was the first to start a confrontation.

But it’s not too surprising, because in their impression, Lao Wang’s family has always had a good family tradition, upright, upright, and kind-hearted. If anyone has a problem, it’s right to ask him for help.Wang Luoxiong smiled and nodded at the people around him: "It's okay. If they have any evil intentions, just come at them. I, Old Wang, are not afraid."

Others were quite impressed, but they still took their children back early.

They don't have that much confidence and backbone. Recently, there are often people wandering around their homes, and they can't feel relieved. They call the police because there is no evidence of crime. After all, you can't control others wandering in public places.

Many people have already considered leaving early.

Wang Luoxiong didn't care either. He clasped his hands behind his back, hummed an opera tune, and walked slowly towards his home.

On the road, many children returning home from school greeted him warmly, and he responded to them one by one.

He has always been very popular. In the past, when the economy was relatively difficult, he would help his neighbors. He would also give snacks and toys to children and tell them stories, which was very popular with the children.

The story he usually likes to tell the most is a fairy tale passed down from his ancestors.

It is said to be the personal experience of an ancestor hundreds of years ago. It is so incredible that it has even been recorded in the genealogy and family rules, instructing future generations to do good deeds and never do evil.

In fact, when Wang Luoxiong was young, he secretly wondered whether the ancestor was confused, or was too ignorant and deceived, so he made these inexplicable decisions.

However, looking at the records, this ancestor once served as a high official, and even had an imperial decree kept as a family heirloom, which is now worth a lot of money.

Such a character should not do stupid things.

Moreover, the scenes in the other party's story are described so vividly that even in dreams, one would never dream of such a real thing. It really makes people doubt whether the other party has really experienced such a thing.

On the way, I happened to meet a few children who were still eating sweets, and they pestered him to listen to stories.

The adults here don't let the children watch TV or play with mobile phones for fear of damaging their eyesight. There is no homework for the younger students, so the children are also bored.

Wang Luoxiong was also happy to tell them some stories about his past experiences and some fairy tales. The children listened with gusto.

After all, he had been a university professor before, and he could tell some knowledge in the form of some easy-to-understand stories.

Of course, the most important thing is that if he has coins in his pocket, he will politely give some to the children to buy them snacks.

The adults are also old neighbors, so they are very relieved about him.
As a result, the return home was delayed a bit.

But when he returned to the door of his house with a smile on his face, when he saw the door of his house being pried open, his brows furrowed slightly and his smile gradually disappeared.

When he entered the door, he found that the things inside were turned over in a mess, various things were scattered on the ground, and some furniture was overturned.

Of course the police were called.

The police arrived quickly and after checking, they confirmed that nothing valuable was missing, but that the house was in a mess.

In addition, the surveillance here is also bad, making it difficult to trace clues.

To put it simply, it is very difficult to continue to trace it. All we can say is to register it and trace it as much as possible.

After the police left, Wang Luoxiong sighed and tidied up his home.

Nothing valuable was indeed lost. The passbook and several gold necklaces and rings he had placed in the cabinet were all dug out, but they were left aside without being taken away.

He probably didn't come here for money at all, but just wanted to scare him.

It seems that he wants to tell him that if you want to be disadvantageous to him, you can do it at any time!

The old man who played chess with him just now appeared in his mind, and his brows furrowed even more.

"rat!"

He couldn't help but curse, but there was really nothing he could do to the other party.

After looking at it, he nervously checked the depths of the cabinet and took out a thick old book from inside.

It was a relief to see that this thing was fine.

If this thing was damaged, he would not be able to see his ancestors.

When you open it, you will find some famous family members and strange experiences recorded inside, as well as family trees, family rules, etc. of course.

On some of the pages, there are impressive records of strange stories about an ancestor named Wang Yuanliang who served as a city god for a few days more than 600 years ago.

Even though I don’t know how many times I have watched it, I still find it magical every time I watch it.

"Is there really a city god in this world?"

He thought of the various rumors of gods and ghosts that had been making a fuss in other places recently. They seemed to be serious, and even his grandson would sometimes mention them excitedly.

However, it is still too far away and unrealistic for ordinary people like him.

His eyes fell back on the book.

The above content reminded him inexplicably of a story in Liaozhai called "Testing the City God", and the plot was quite similar.

But the ancestor wrote this article definitely much earlier than Pu Songling. Maybe the latter made up such a story after hearing about his ancestor.

But after all, it was too long and too long to study.

He shook his head, rewrapped it and put it back.

He stood up and looked around the old house, sighing softly.

In fact, he didn't live here for too long. It was probably after he was assigned a job after graduation that he chose to live here because it happened to be very close to this land.

As for the ancestors, it seems that hundreds of years ago they had to leave their homes and go to other places to make a living due to a major flood.

I also accidentally saw the contents of this genealogy. I was curious and researched the general location, and finally found this place.

But when he got here, he found that things had already changed.

The City God's Temple in the story no longer exists, and the new City God's Temple was built on the other side of the city, far away from here.

I didn’t see anything special here, let alone any legends about gods and ghosts.

Even the houses are newly built.

But after all, I have lived there for so many years, and now that I have to move out suddenly, I still feel a little reluctant to let go.
