Chapter 127: Pleasing the Spirits

Chapter 127: Pleasing the Spirits
hum!
The rise and fall of the huge hammer created a strong wind that made the clothes flutter.

In the Weapon Casting Valley, Ba Wanli stomped his feet and danced with his hammer, and the strong wind blew up dust all around.

"Too fierce!"

Even though he was controlling five forging hammers, Li Yuan's eyelids still twitched.

How powerful would it be when this three-meter-tall, broad-shouldered giant swings his giant hammer?

He even had the illusion that a high-speed train from his previous life was whizzing past him. The strong wind, the sound of hammers...

If you touch it, you will die. If you are hit, you will be turned into meat paste!

"Big Brother Yi Xionghu, with all the forms combined, his physique has surpassed that of ordinary people. He is truly a hammer of great weight!"

Listening to the whistling sound of the hammer, Li Yuan's understanding of shape-changing became deeper.

That is a double change of physique and internal energy; his body is like a bear or tiger, his energy is like a bear or tiger, his momentum is like a bear or tiger.

In addition, he has practiced martial arts and is endowed with supernatural powers.

Therefore, each and every move contains tremendous power that would daunt warriors of the same level.

"The third contemporary true disciple..."

Li Yuan thought of Qiu Changying and Shi Hong. Even someone as strong as Ba Wanli was overwhelmed by the younger ones.

"Among the ten great true disciples of Shenbing Valley, my realm is the lowest..."

"Good, good, good!"

Ba Wanli exhaled like thunder, swung his huge hammer, his face full of pleasure and joy.

Snapped!
Li Yuan was hit on the shoulder. His feet sank instantly and his shoulders and arms went numb.

"Junior brother, are you okay?"

Ba Wanli clapped his hands before reacting. He was startled. Seeing Li Yuan pull out his feet as if nothing had happened, he couldn't help but be surprised:
"Great success in body tempering and minor success in horizontal training? Good boy, you are worthy of being a dragon-shaped bone. This speed of improvement..."

"Big Brother, you'd better not hit people randomly. With your strength, you can kill someone by accident."

Li Yuan shook his shoulders and arms. Even he could not bear it. Ordinary people would be as weak as paper under Ba Wanli's hands.

'No wonder you're still single at almost 60...'

"Hahaha, what a hammer, what a hammer!"

Ba Wanli's surprise came and went quickly. He fiddled with the drum and golden hammer up and down, with a smile on his face:

"Junior brother, after you repaired it, this hammer is so smooth to use, it's like you changed it!"

I'd like to change...

Li Yuan secretly complained in his heart that this golden hammer was really good and he liked it very much, but it had an owner.

"This hammer has been hit many times and has some problems. When I repaired it this time, I made some changes."

Li Yuan replied.

After being blessed with the superimposed hammer talent, his understanding of hammer, hammer weapons, and forging has reached more than a level.

Even though Ba Wanli's hammer was a top-grade famous weapon, he could still find a lot of faults with it.

It's not that the person who made the weapons was incompetent, it's simply that the person who used the hammer didn't know how to take care of it and never maintained it at all.

"Brothers!"

Ba Wanli got excited and slapped him again.

Li Yuan dodged this time. He had wanted to test the strength of Ba Wanli before, but now he no longer has this idea.

Taking advantage of Ba Wanli's good mood, Li Yuan asked him about his outing.

"It's not that I can't say it."

Ba Wanli looked around and saw several blacksmiths retreating in fear: "Let Lao Fang prepare a table of wine and food, and we can talk while we eat."

"Also."

Li Yuan had no objection, but Sun Zan's invitation to the banquet made him feel a little uneasy, so he prepared to ask Fang Baoluo about it.

Compared to Ba Wanli, Senior Brother Fang is much calmer.

……

In the bamboo forest, Fang Baoluo prepared a large table of dishes, including more than a dozen roasted chickens.

People who practice martial arts have a huge appetite, which is especially obvious after they become internally strong. They can eat as much as an ordinary person would eat in three days in one meal.

Ba Wanli's appetite is ten times greater than that of a warrior of the same level. He is truly a giant among men.

"Come on, Junior Brother, eat, don't be polite with me!"

Ba Wanli ate and drank with big mouthfuls, and greeted.

Li Yuan was holding a chicken leg, and even though it was not the first time he saw Ba Wanli eating, he was still a little surprised.

He can stuff a whole chicken in two bites. He doesn't even need to spit out the bones. He just grinds his teeth and swallows it down with the skin and bones.

In his hand, a large bowl for ordinary people looked like a small and exquisite wine cup. A person could drink three or five jars of wine each weighing ten kilograms.

"you……"

When Fang Baoluo came over with the wine and food, he only saw the messy table and felt depressed:

"You starving bastard, can't you wait for me to eat a few bites first?"

"Senior Brother Fang."

Li Yuan handed him a chicken leg. He protected it a little and didn't just stand there and watch.

"If it weren't for the good treatment of the true disciples, you would have starved to death sooner or later, you bastard."

Fang Baoluo took the chicken leg, but still felt unsatisfied.

"Old Fang, you talk too much nonsense. What's wrong with me eating a few mouthfuls of your food? Have you forgotten that I saved you 23 years ago?"

Eighty thousand miles staring.

Fang Baoluo's calm temperament also became angry: "Why don't you tell me how many times I saved you later?"

"If I hadn't saved you, you would have died a long time ago. How could you save me?"

Ba Wanli wiped his hands and grinned.

"..."

Fang Baoluo sat down sullenly, and after a few drinks with Li Yuan, his expression became better.

"Sooner or later I will be pissed off by you!"

Seeing that he was a little angry, Ba Wanli shut up and chuckled.

Li Yuan was used to it. After the True Transmission Ceremony, he occasionally met with the two of them and they became more familiar with each other. "The evil cult in Yunjing County has been making trouble again and again. This time, there was a big commotion. It is said that thousands of pregnant women were sacrificed!"

Hearing Fang Baoluo's words, Li Yuan's face turned pale: "Sacrificing thousands of pregnant women with blood?!"

In his previous life, he was well-known among the villagers for his ability to assist in childbirth.

But the number of births he delivered was far less than one-third of this number.

"Yes! Those inhuman beasts!"

Fang Baoluo's face was heavy, and Ba Wanli's breathing was rapid: "This time, I will smash them all into pulp!"

Li Yuan was shocked for a long time. He was somewhat immersed in the comfort during this period. This news woke him up and puzzled:

"Why does the Evil God Cult use human blood sacrifices?"

Fang Baoluo put down his wine glass and sneered: "Of course it is to please those so-called 'gods'."

Li Yuan was keenly aware that Fang Baoluo was talking about "gods" instead of "evil gods."

"What gods? They are nothing but evil spirits!"

Ba Wanli slapped the stone table and almost broke it: "I should really smash all the temples!"

"Shut up!"

Fang Baoluo scolded coldly, then looked at Li Yuan:

"We don't know whether gods exist or not, but when those evil god believers held sacrifices, some incredible things really happened..."

"Oh?"

Li Yuan cheered up.

He was very interested in the God Worshipping Cult, not only because the God Worshipping method was suspected to lead to immortality, but also because of himself.

He has experienced incredible things such as traveling to another world, awakening his innate wisdom, and obtaining a sacred scroll through offering sacrifices to the heavens. He is not surprised that gods really exist.

"There is no God!"

Ba Wanli slammed the table silently, his eyes red.

Li Yuan glanced at him.

When Ba Wanli was young, his whole family worshipped the "Winged God", but he did not receive any protection when his family was broken up.

Later, he became very skilled in martial arts and actually destroyed the temple in the city. If it weren't for Han Chuijun's protection, he would have been captured by the people in Zhenwu Hall and thrown into prison.

"The only miracle recorded in history is the one recorded by our great ancestor, 'fire from the sky fell like a waterfall, destroying all the troops', but I guess it was also exaggerated by later generations."

Fang Baoluo didn't believe it either, but still emphasized that blood sacrifice was useful:
"Seven hundred years ago, Yunshan revealed an extremely evil demon. It is said that he pleased the gods in some unknown way..."

"Fang Xianke?"

Li Yuan raised his eyebrows.

In addition to practicing martial arts, he also liked to read some unofficial history and novels to relax and have fun, including the story of "Fang Xianke".

It is said that he was extremely talented and started practicing martial arts in his old age. In just twenty years, he became famous all over the world. He even regained his youth by worshipping a magic trick from a god. He shocked the court and the underworld, but was eventually strangled to death.

It is said that the mountain where he died is still haunted by evil spirits.

"Well, Fang Xianke really existed. Seven hundred years ago, he came to the Divine Weapon Valley to seek soldiers..."

Fang Baoluo paused slightly.

"Is there anything you can't say?"

Ba Wanli hated his coy attitude the most: "The old devil was disappointed when his request for troops failed. He said that we humiliated our ancestors and were unworthy of the plaque in front of the mountain gate..."

"This is a disgrace to the sect!"

Fang Baoluo shook his head: "That's too far off topic. Anyway, over the years, whoever dared to perform a blood sacrifice will be killed by the whole world!"

"He has lost all conscience and deserves to be killed."

Li Yuan was in a bad mood. As someone who had delivered a baby himself, he could not tolerate such behavior.

"The blood sacrifice held by that group of demons should be the 'Thousand Infants Banquet'. The one they wanted to please should be the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva."

"Thousand-eyed Bodhisattva?"

Li Yuan frowned, remembering that many pregnant women in Gaoliu County had suffered miscarriages that day, and his heart sank.

His sister-in-law almost fell for it...

"Isn't the Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva a true deity appointed by the imperial court?"

"This one……"

Fang Baoluo didn't know how to explain it.

"God is neither good nor evil?"

Li Yuan probably knew what he wanted to say.

There are temples all over the states of Dayun. If it is really an evil god, even if the court allows it, the people of Jianghu will not allow it.

Although he didn't know how the court used incense and statues, he was very clear that there must be great benefits behind it.

If the good outweighs the bad, it can exist, and vice versa.

"That's too far."

Ba Wanli remained silent, and Fang Baoluo did not want to say anything more, so he turned around and said:

"We will each lead a team of 100 divine guards, and we will take your team with us. In addition, many of my fellow disciples will also go with us..."

Ba Wanli then spoke:
"You haven't changed your form yet, so it won't be easy to subdue that hundred-man team. I'll help you suppress them on the way!"

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Li Yuan had no objection.

This was also one of the reasons why he did not take over the team of a hundred men. The experts in the Divine Guard were not comparable to the inner disciples outside the hall that day.

The more important reason is that he is very busy.

"Master is away all year round, and our Hammer Soldier Hall is dealing with those families. We are really worried about you being left alone in the mountains."

Taking the wine glass handed over by Li Yuan, Fang Baoluo whispered:

"After this, don't stay in the mountains anymore. Go down the mountain and walk around more often. Just in case someone is really blind and has feelings for you..."

Ba Wanli raised his head and smiled ferociously:

"If anyone dares, I will kill them all!"
