He coveted Zhu Jiuyin's power. He wanted to become a god like Zhu Jiuyin and live forever.
"I ***** have always thought that the Classic of Mountains and Seas is a book that records ancient extraordinary people. Could it be that there is realism in it, and that someone really saw a god?"
Looking at the giant beast below, beads of sweat appeared on Liao Zhong's forehead, and he did not say the stupid question to Lao Meng, "Can you defeat this thing below?"
For the first time, he doubted whether he could complete the mission.
Hu Xiuwu still did not lose heart and was still thinking of a solution. Suddenly, the dragon at the bottom of the valley raised its head and looked towards Lingyun Palace.
The hairs on Hu Xiuwu's body suddenly stood up. It was inevitable that he would feel nervous when being stared at by such a giant beast, but at the same time, Hu Xiuwu had another feeling.
There seemed to be a hint of greed in His eyes, but the target of his greed was not him.
Hu Xiuwu turned his head to look at Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan beside him, whose bodies had already begun to tremble.
"The guiding boy!"
Suddenly, Hu Xiuwu remembered the candles in the underworld palace representing Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan.
"What, Shugo, what did you say?"
Hu Bayi didn't hear clearly what Hu Xiuwu had just whispered, so he turned to Hu Xiuwu and said.
Hu Xiuwu shouted, "Guiding boys! Big brother and Fatty are his guiding boys."
"He has not yet succeeded. The power of the Zhuchen Pearl is too strong. Although Tai Sui's power is also very strong, it is far from comparable to the Zhuchen Pearl. Right now, the yang in his body is stronger than the yin."
Hu Xiuwu became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice rose to a higher pitch:
"He merged himself with Tai Sui and buried him here, waiting for you."
"As long as he devours the Yin Qi from the Ghost Cave in your body and obtains the Yin Qi and Yang Qi from the Snake God, and balances the Yin and Yang, he will truly become the new Zhu Jiuyin."
King Xian saw the fate of the snake god in his dream. He went to great lengths to find the ghost cave not for pilgrimage, but to find the remains of the old god.
"You are his guide boys! You are his medicine guide!"
“It is the key to His becoming God!”
Sorry, there may only be one update after this.
I have to take time to study for the civil service exam, and I also have to earn money to eat.
Writing novels is just a hobby, it can't support me, so I will try my best to finish this book.
Chapter 58: The End of King Xian
As if it had heard Hu Xiuwu's words, the strange snake coiled at the bottom of the valley, holding the candlelight in its mouth, crawled towards the cliff and rushed towards them.
"Oh my god, that big guy is coming!"
Wang Kaixuan let out a strange cry, raised the submachine gun in his hand, and shot at the strange snake that was staring at him greedily.
Wang Kaixuan's shooting skills were very accurate, and every shot hit the head of the monster snake.
Unfortunately, the bullet was of no use to Him. It was like the bullet hitting an illusion. It didn't even create a ripple before being swallowed up by Him.
“Let’s go, Lao Meng, Hu Xiuwu, you two take Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan and run away! His target is these two!”
Liao Zhong made a prompt decision.
"Don't worry about me and Shirley Yang, you guys go first, quickly!"
Hearing Liao Zhong's order, Hu Xiuwu and Lao Meng did not hesitate. Hu Xiuwu pulled up Hu Bayi, and Lao Meng carried Wang Kaixuan, and the two ran towards the Hulu Cave at the fastest speed.
Hu Xiuwu tried his best, treating the talisman as Spider-Man's spider silk, grabbing the broken rocks between the cliffs, and the old tree used the force to throw him far away, and Lao Meng followed closely behind.
The giant snake transformed by King Xian climbed up to Lingyun Palace.
Liao Zhong did not overestimate his own abilities and stand in front of the giant snake. Instead, he took Shirley Yang and hid in a corner, avoiding the giant snake's path.
The giant snake really didn't bother to deal with the ants in its eyes, and didn't even look at the two people hiding nearby.
What he is thinking about most now is his immortal guide and his immortal child.
Accompanied by the evil wind, He climbed to the front of Lingyun Palace and went towards Hu Xiuwu and Lao Meng who were flying on the cliff.
As long as He touches you, He will pull you into His body. The growth rate of His body is faster than His movement speed.
Although He had already climbed to the Lingyun Palace, His snake tail was still below the cliff.
Holding a candle in one's mouth, climbing the mountain, chasing the wind and grabbing the moon.
Liao Zhong stood in the ruined Lingyun Palace, thinking with a worried look on his face:
'You must come up with a solution.'
"Otherwise I can only contact Mr. Zhao and see if he can contact the higher-ups to apply for a Dongfeng."
·····
Old Meng carried Wang Kaixuan and followed behind Hu Xiuwu. Old Meng called Hu Xiuwu:
"Xiugo, this is not a solution. We must find a way out. If we continue like this, He will catch up with us sooner or later."
Hu Xiuwu controlled the talisman to fly in the air, and used his mind to respond to Lao Meng:
"King Xian has not yet succeeded. The yin and yang in his body are unstable, with the yang being strong and the yin being weak. Right now, the yin and yang in his body are barely maintaining a balance. If we can add fuel to the fire, perhaps his body will collapse on its own."
Hu Bayi bounced on Hu Xiuwu's back and said with difficulty:
"Go to the entrance of the Insect Valley. I remember there was a place called 'City Point' where a green dragon paused to write and a screen and a horse ran. It can distinguish between clear and turbid, distinguish between yin and yang, and smear evil sand. Will it work on King Xian?"
Hu Xiuwu thought about it and had no confidence that the city position could break the yin and yang situation in King Xian's body: "There is no other way. Why don't you try it first, Uncle Meng."
Old Meng had no choice but to give the plan a try and agreed to it.
Hu Xiuwu and Lao Meng quickened their pace and climbed to the entrance of the gourd cave. After entering the cave, Lao Meng summoned the mantis worm.
The long mantis crawled out of the gourd hole, came to the entrance of the cave and picked up the four of them.
The four men climbed onto the mantis's back and grabbed the bronze scales on its back. Then Lao Meng communicated with the mantis and told it to run desperately towards the mountain temple.
In fact, without Lao Meng's explanation, the mantis worm had already sensed a familiar but more terrifying aura approaching this side rapidly.
It flapped its short legs desperately, moving towards the direction away from the smell.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan tried their best to grab the raised scales on the mantis's back to prevent themselves from being thrown off.
Behind them came the sound of rock layers being squeezed, and the surrounding rock walls also shook, causing the stone pillars on the top of the cave to fall one after another.
It was the giant snake transformed by King Xian that squeezed into the gourd cave.
The mantis crawled even harder, and the limbs on its abdomen were waving away, leaving afterimages, pushing all the dead bodies in the water to both sides, and only then was it able to barely create some distance between them.
They galloped all the way to the vicinity of the burial pit, when the mantis worm suddenly stopped and threw the four people off its back.
The long mantis lay on the ground, breathing in the air with big gulps, but it still couldn't relieve the suffocating feeling in its body.
Lao Meng was communicating with the mantis worm about its condition. The mantis worm, which was full of energy just now, now seemed to be dying.
Lao Meng touched the body of the mantis worm and said, "It should be that the Toad Palace where we hid was swallowed by the strange snake, which caused the environment in the gourd cave to change, making it difficult for it to adapt."
Hu Xiuwu said: "We don't have time to worry about this now, let's get out of this gourd cave first!"
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan took off all their belongings, equipped lightly, and ran out of the cave.
After returning to the mountain temple, he did not stop but followed Hu Bayi and ran desperately towards the city gate at the entrance of the Worm Valley.
If there was a dog chasing them, everyone would run faster than usual, not to mention that what was chasing Hu Xiuwu and the others was a giant python.
They were already running at the fastest speed in their lives; in the second half, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan even learned how to use Qi to lighten their bodies without any instruction.
Sure enough, pressure is the best teacher.
After all, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan had only been extraordinary people for a short time, so it didn't take long for the Qi in their bodies to be completely consumed. Their legs went weak and they almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Hu Xiuwu and Lao Meng were still there, and each of them carried one of them and walked away.
Hu Xiuwu, who had read the same Feng Shui book as Hu Bayi, also understood what the Qinglong Dunbi and the screen-riding horse's "扦城位" meant, and could also take Lao Meng to the destination.
Hu Xiuwu almost didn't touch the ground, relying on the talisman to move through the forest. Lao Meng didn't have this ability, so he just ran on the ground, but his cultivation was stronger than Hu Xiuwu, so he was still able to follow closely behind him.
The four of them finally ran to the entrance of the Insect Valley. The Dragon with the Candle in its Hold also chased after them, staring closely at Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan.
The head of the person who looked like King Xian revealed an expression of twisted excitement, and the Zhuchen Pearl embedded in his forehead became brighter and hotter.
After a thousand years of planning, today has finally come the time to reap the rewards. Today He will become the new God.
He was so excited that he didn't even notice where Hu Xiuwu and the others were.
The strange snake pounced on Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan. If he swallowed them both, he would be able to transform from a mortal into a god.
But when he approached the city wall, a black gas suddenly gushed out of his body.
His body was originally as chaotic as before the separation of heaven and earth. The earth energy that penetrated the city was like Pangu's axe that split the sky, forcibly separating the chaotic Qi in his body, with the clear rising and the turbid falling, and re-dividing it into Yin and Yang Qi.
But He had not yet obtained the Yin Qi from the ghost cave in Hu Bayi's body, so His Yang Qi quickly suppressed the Yin Qi.
His body dried up rapidly, and the moisture in his flesh and blood evaporated into black gas.
But He still tried to crawl towards Hu Bayi.
He was unwilling to give up, as he was only one step away from success.
But this step means the difference between life and death.
Chapter 59 Going Home
King Xian's huge body was glowing red. The yang energy from the snake god was burning the yin energy in his body. His body was now like a red-hot charcoal.
The light of the charcoal fire did not last long, and His body gradually dimmed.
The charcoal turned to ashes, and sounds like porcelain breaking and charcoal exploding came from King Xian's body. Cracks first appeared on his huge body, and then he broke into several pieces.
On King Xian's head, which was as huge as a heavy truck, there was still an expression of unwillingness, and the Zhuchen Pearl on his forehead was still shining.
Hu Xiuwu stood in front of Him and took off the Zhuchen Pearl from His forehead.
King Xian's body was like a burnt piece of wood; it had shape but would break into pieces at the slightest touch.
The Zhuochen Pearl is an eyeball-shaped, walnut-sized pearl. This is the first time that Hu Xiuwu has truly seen this pearl, which has triggered countless events.
Hu Xiuwu held it in his hand, and for a moment, he felt his palm slightly hot, as if what he held in his hand was not a bead, but a candle flame.
In the blink of an eye, the Zhuochen Pearl turned back into an ordinary pearl, with the warmth of his palm remaining on it.
