Deduct 1 for merit. I am really not a child of luck.

Chapter 223: Burning Wedding Clothes City and Hunting Ten Thousand Ghosts! (Subscribe)
Lin Mo and others showed puzzled expressions, and then looked at the paper man "Yu Linglong" next to them.

The latter's image is not her original appearance, but that of a female Taoist priest with plain facial features.

"Yu Linglong" folded her hands beside him and spread them out helplessly:
"There's nothing we can do. He's determined to die with the ghost, and we can't stop him."

The half-palm-sized incense man was so angry that he jumped on the incense stand and gnashed his teeth and said:

"These ghosts don't even take God as their God. I am the God of this city, and they dare to ignore me!"

Indeed, if one wants to seize control of the city, destroying the City God Temple is the first step.

But both the Qin family's resentful woman and Yin Tongzi seemed to have ignored him and were only concerned with their own fights.

It seemed that as long as they decided the winner, the ownership of Wedding Dress City would be settled.

The incense guy was very angry about this.

"If you die, the people of Wedding Clothes City will really have no future."

Lin Mo frowned and said.

These words seemed to hit the pain point in the heart of the incense-burning villain. He sat down on the candlestick and burst into tears:

"I, I am not even a shitty god. I am just trash, garbage. I feel so sorry for the people of Wedding Dress City. Woohoo!!!"

The incense man's attitude at this moment is completely different from his harsh treatment of the people in the past few days.

In fact, deep down in his heart, he blamed the people of Wedding Dress City.

Why is he unwilling to believe in himself, the City God, and instead goes to pray to Ye Xian who harbors evil intentions?

The result is good, Ye Xian is the culprit.

If you don't burn incense and pray to God at ordinary times, and only remember it when the time comes, it will be too late!

But no matter what, he is also the City God of Jiayi City, the god who protects the land.

The incense figurine cried for a long time before slowly stopping and pinching its snot with its hand to wipe it onto the candlestick.

He sobbed and said, "Take this statue. If you have to, destroy it. This way, the power of the wish here will be directly dissipated."

"After all, those ghosts were once citizens of Wedding Clothes City. They will be affected to some extent. At least in the short term, this place will not become a ghost den."

As he spoke, he lifted up the tattered statue.

"Yu Linglong" stood aside with disdain, but Lin Mo took the statue in his hands curiously.

The statue is not big, and you can feel a warm feeling when you touch it.

It's just tattered and doesn't look complete.

The incense man continued, "This is my 'Golden Body of the God'. It was not very big to begin with, and now because of the invasion of evil spirits, most of it has been destroyed."

“Humph, if my golden body was intact, how could these filthy things enter the city and spread weirdness everywhere? You’re dreaming!”

Lin Mo looked at the golden body in his hand and said, "Golden body? In other words, as long as this thing is repaired, these ghosts will be driven away?"

The incense man hummed and said, "This is my territory, but..."

There is no need to say more about the rest.

His wish power is insufficient and his golden body is rotting; he is no longer worthy of the title of a god.

Lin Mo seemed to have grasped some information and asked, "Then how do we repair the golden body?"

If all the evil spirits were driven back to the mass grave, leaving only Yin Tongzi and Qin's resentful woman, they might not be without the ability to fight.

Isn’t this the opportunity to pass the level?

The incense man showed a trace of bitterness on his face: "It's useless. My golden body was cultivated through merit and vows. If you want to repair it, you need the people to offer more incense on weekdays."

"Not to mention that the people have been sent out of the city now, even if they all came back now and kowtowed to me and burned incense, it would be too late."

Even if it is for the gods to accumulate merits and vows, it is a long-term and enduring thing.

He must also abide by the "God's virtue" and protect the people here so that they can live and work in peace and contentment.

But neither he nor the people did these things.

Everyone is at fault for the fact that Wedding Dress City has become a half-ghost town today.

"If I had known, I would have worked hard and stopped slacking off, wuwawaa ...

Having said this, he began to wipe away tears again.

Yu Linglong was extremely disgusted and said, "You are a god, but you cry easily. Isn't it shameful!"

When the incense man heard this, he cried even louder.

I was already annoyed, and now I'm being criticized. And when I think about dying soon, I feel even sadder.

But the next moment, a flame burst out from Lin Mo's hand.

Everyone turned around and saw three-colored strange fire burning in Lin Mo's hands, continuously burning the dilapidated statue.

"My gold..."

The incense man was so scared that he subconsciously wanted to pounce, but suddenly stopped, and then his pupils shrank slightly, and then slowly expanded, and said:
"You, what are you doing?"

He looked at Lin Mo's expression, which gradually became horrified, as if he had encountered something strange and incomprehensible.

The other people in the shop were very curious about Lin Mo's operation, and even more curious about the reaction of the incense figurine.

Burning the statue?

What is Brother Lin going to do?
Long A raised his eyebrows, thinking that Lin Mo had listened to the advice of the incense villain and was going to kill the latter first to avoid the worst situation, and then think of a countermeasure.

After a moment, he realized he was wrong.

Just looking at the statue in Lin Mo's hands, it doesn't look like it's being burned, but instead it's becoming more and more shining?

Could it be that Brother Lin knows how to repair the golden statue?
He looked a little surprised.

Not only him, but also "Yu Linglong" next to him was surprised.

This doesn't seem like a repair method, but more like some kind of refining method.

However, she had never heard of any refining method that could repair the golden body!

Of course, the most shocking thing was not the two of them, but the incense figurine itself.

Actually, this golden statue of the god is his real body, and this little incense-burning figurine is just a spiritual body.

He could clearly feel that those parts of his body that had been badly damaged by the evil spirit were being repaired quickly.

Repairing the body was not some three-colored fire or refining method, but something he was most familiar with—

Merit and power! But how could Lin Mo have merit?

It’s not that monks cannot gain merit. Some powerful people can gain merit and power by doing good deeds, accumulating virtue, and cultivating their character.

But they are all big shots, and not something a small local god like him can cling to.

How could Lin Mo, a mere foundation-building cultivator, have any merits?

And... there are so many!!!
He felt that the merits and virtues were pouring into him like they were free, and he felt so comfortable that he even wanted to lie down on the spot.

So cool, so cool!

Come on, keep going, don't stop!!!
He almost moaned.

[Ding! You invested 100 merit points into the ruined statue. The statue is being repaired...]

[Ding! You invested 100 points of merit into the Ruined Statue...]

【…】

On Lin Mo's system panel, prompts were constantly being refreshed. The statue in his hand was being repaired quickly. After a while, the broken parts grew back and became even more golden.

After a few minutes, the three-colored strange fire slowly stopped, revealing the golden statue.

"Brother Lin, can you really repair the statue?"

Long A looked at the intact statue in his hand in surprise.

The incense man lay on the candlestick and shouted comfortably: "Come again, come again, don't stop!!!"

Lin Mo snorted coldly and flicked his finger at his forehead:
"Think beautifully!"

Ouch~!

He jumped up in pain, but there was no anger in his expression. He looked at Lin Mo with an extremely flattering look and said:
"Brother, Boss? Give me some more. My golden body is healed, but it's still not strong enough!"

"Come on, I can smash those two big ghosts with one hand!"

Lin Mo shook his head slightly and said, "It's no longer possible."

After saying this, he took a special look at the prompt on the panel that said "Unable to continue infusing merit."

A total of more than 6000 merit points were poured in to completely repair the dilapidated statue.

As for why it can only be repaired and cannot be further improved or promoted.

Lin Mo guessed that it was because the way the incense figurine accumulated merit and vows was not exactly the same as the way he accumulated merit by knocking the wooden fish.

After all, the incense man created this golden body by accumulating incense from the people.

Lin Mo's merit points can also repair the other party's golden body, but it cannot truly replace the incense of the people.

The incense man touched his own golden body and seemed to realize this, muttering:
"It's really strange..."

After saying that, he looked at Lin Mo, who raised his eyebrows slightly at him.

I understand!

The incense man coughed and said very cooperatively:
"Your Excellency's refining method is truly ingenious. Not only did you collect the fragments of my golden body, you were also able to piece it together and repair it. Hahaha, now I can drive away these evil spirits!"

When did Brother Lin collect the golden body fragments? How come I didn’t know about it?
Long Ah scratched his big head, looking puzzled.

"Yu Linglong" next to him frowned slightly, looked around, but did not expose it.

As for Chu Wange, she quietly adjusted her breathing and recovered, ignoring worldly affairs.

Lin Mo nodded slightly and asked, "How far can you go?"

The incense man rubbed his hands together, with a ferocious expression on his face: "Haha, I can drive out all the evil spirits, even those two big ghosts!!"

"Are you that strong?"

"Yu Linglong" looked at him suspiciously.

"What a joke! This is my territory and I am the boss!"

The incense man straightened his back very firmly and said, "We couldn't do this before because the golden statue was destroyed. Now the golden statue has been repaired. On my territory, I still have no say, right?"

After saying that, he added in a low voice:
"Well, of course, if you insist on fighting, you still can't win."

He really didn't lie. In fact, even the resentful woman from the Qin family could only enter the city after nightfall.

If Yin Tongzi had not hidden in the pure gold formation and shielded his existence, he would have been expelled from the city in broad daylight.

Now that the golden body has been repaired, these ghosts cannot enter the city without his permission.

But even after he drove them out, if the two continued to besiege the city with evil spirits, his golden body would still be damaged, and the evil spirits would eventually enter the city.

Therefore, simply expelling them is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

The incense-burning little man immediately described his abilities one by one without hiding anything.

In terms of strength, he who possesses the golden statue is actually equivalent to the level of perfect foundation building.

But he is the City God of this city after all. As long as he is in the Wedding Dress City, he can do many things that even the big guys in the Nascent Soul stage cannot do.

"My benefactor, I'll do whatever you say! I'll listen to you!"

In the hearts of the villains, Lin Mo's status has been infinitely elevated.

Lin Mo raised his head and looked outside the incense and candle shop. Without answering his question first, he asked, "Linglong, when will your paper figurine team come back?"

"Yu Linglong" said: "All the people have been sent out, and they are on their way back now. They will be back in less than a quarter of an hour."

Lin Mo nodded and said, "In that case, let's proceed according to the backup plan we made earlier."

"Ah? Are you sure?"

Yu Linglong was a little surprised.

"Yes! Otherwise, the evil spirit will continue to cause trouble in the future, and we probably won't be able to get through it."

Lin Mo nodded seriously.

The incense man was confused and said, "Benefactor, so what should I do? Should I drive out all those ghosts now?"

Lin Mo then turned his head and looked at him, saying word by word:

"No, I want you to gather all these ghosts together. I want to burn down Wedding Dress City and hunt down all the ghosts!"

The incense man suddenly shrank his neck and cried out in his heart.

Damn it! Just when the golden body came, another evil spirit appeared!
