Chapter 159 Human Head Mushroom

After the hall master spoke, even though Lu Xiangzhu and others were worried about their lives, they still got up and left in a hurry.

Someone hesitated and whispered, "I'm afraid that our Hongshan Hall will be wiped out today."

Upon hearing this, Master Lu Xiang said, "You clearly knew that disaster was coming, but you ignored the people and only cared about your own escape. Why are you reading the books of sages? Today, there is only death!"

After hearing this, everyone in Hongshan Hall was excited and united.

Chen Shi and Li Tianqing heard a commotion gradually coming from outside. It should be the people from Hongshan Hall telling people nearby about the danger, causing a commotion.

Chen Shi walked outside, but saw that people on the street were in a panic, calling their friends and packing up their belongings. But there were still many people watching, obviously very suspicious of the coming of the devil.

At the Fei Mansion, Fei Tianzheng, the governor of Gongzhou, was drinking morning tea when he heard a commotion outside. He felt unhappy and called his servant, "Go and see what's going on outside."

The servant returned soon and said, "The people at Hongshan Hall spread the news that Zen Master Kuzhu is about to transform into a demon, and asked everyone to move out quickly."

Fei Tianzheng was furious, slamming the table and shouting, "Is Yutian City planning a rebellion? They are inciting the people and spreading lies to confuse the public. I think everyone in Hongshan Hall wants to lose their heads! Someone, someone! Invite Commander Yang to come and bring troops to crush these rebels!"

Upon hearing this, the eldest lady hurried in and asked, "Why is the master so angry?"

Fei Tianzheng was still furious and told the story again. The eldest lady said, "There is no smoke without fire. Master, the school official came yesterday and said that Master Kuzhu of Dabaoguo Temple had come to the city, and you were planning to meet him. I heard that Master Kuzhu was over 130 years old and should have reached the end of his lifespan. He might have died in the city..."

Fei Tianzheng sneered, "The old Zen master is an accomplished monk who has cultivated a Buddhist golden body. Even if his life span is exhausted, he will not transform into a demon. It is clear that Yu Tiancheng of Hongshan Hall is plotting something bad by taking advantage of the death of Zen Master Kuzhu! Kill him to serve as a warning to others!"

The eldest lady said, "I heard that Yutian City is guarded by the eunuchs, and is also very close to Lord Ma, the Chief Justice."

Fei Tianzheng walked out, waving his sleeves and saying, "He incited the people, which is a capital crime. Neither Cen Xuefu nor Ma Weigong can save him from this! Now the two of them are probably thinking about how to get rid of him so as not to be implicated by him! Madam, please prepare some tea. I'm afraid others have also heard the news and are on their way."

The eldest lady went there quickly.

In just a moment, General Xia, Governor Yan, Inspector Zhang, Commander Yang and other important officials from Gongzhou arrived one after another. The maid had just made tea and served it to them.

The officials took their seats, put their tea bowls aside, and whispered to each other with serious expressions.

Fei Tianzheng looked around and his eyes fell on Ma Weigong. He said, "Sir Ma, you are the chief judge. What do you think about this matter?"

Ma Tixing said sternly, "Handle it according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty! The laws of the Ming Dynasty are still in place, and Yutian City is lawless. Then chop off his head. Count the number of heads according to the number of incense sticks, and chop off the entire Hongshan Hall!"

Commander Yang Du sneered, "Not just one beheading! The rebels of Hongshan Hall must be exterminated! We must also find out who is secretly directing Yutian City and who is Yutian City's backer! Find them out and behead them!"

Ma Tixing's expression changed slightly.

Commander Yangdu has always been at odds with him. Now that he has found an opportunity, he is adding insult to injury. It is obvious that he wants to take this opportunity to execute his entire family!

General Xia coughed and said with a half-smile, "Lord Yang is too murderous, but what he said is not wrong. This matter does need to be investigated. How can Yutiancheng know how to incite the people when he didn't even pass the exam to become a scholar? There must be someone behind this."

Ma Weigong laughed and looked at Eunuch Cen as if asking for help.

Eunuch Cen said: "Yutiancheng must be killed, and Hongshantang must also be destroyed. This is a violation of the Ming Dynasty law and deserves death!"

He paused and said, "But did Master Kuzhu really pass away? Have you, the gentlemen, found out about this? There are also rumors that Master Kuzhu passed away and will soon transform into a demon. Have you, the gentlemen, sent people to investigate?"

Deputy General Jiang laughed and said, "Did Lord Cen believe the rumors in Hongshan Hall?"

Eunuch Cen smiled on his fat white face and waved his hands quickly, saying, "How can I believe it? I just think that Yu Tiancheng is not a fool. He must have some reason to say this. You should send someone to investigate before you can rest assured."

Zhang Xun said: "I have ordered people to investigate, and the news will come soon."

At this moment, someone came to report, knelt down outside the hall, and said loudly: "Your Excellency, the inspector, everyone, the East City Postmaster said that last night, Master Kuzhu passed away at the post station and was sent to Daxing Zen Temple!"

The faces of the fourteen senior officials in the hall were calm. Some of them picked up their teacups and sipped tea gently. The fragrance of tea lingered in their mouths, and the fragrance went from their throats to their lungs, which was very refreshing.

The others also picked up their teacups, stopped talking, and sipped their tea.

There were noisy footsteps coming from outside the hall. It was the officials accompanying the important officials who went to Daxing Temple to inquire about the news.

When a high-ranking official travels, the officials who accompany him are all his most trusted people. Firstly, they are highly capable, and secondly, they have good eyesight and can tell what their master is thinking by observing his words and expressions.

After hearing the news and seeing the master's face, they knew what the master was thinking, so they took the initiative to go to Daxing Zen Temple.

After they finished a cup of tea, the maids came up to the hall in a chattering voice to refill their tea.

The fourteen Gongzhou officials remained silent and sipped their tea.

According to the speed of these accompanying officials, they should have arrived at Daxing Temple in just a cup of tea.

In just two cups of tea, they will be able to return to Fei Mansion and everything will become clear.

At that time, those who deserve to be beheaded should be beheaded, and those who deserve to be distanced should be distanced.

By the time the tea in the cup was gone, none of the officials accompanying the senior official had returned.

General Xia sat on the chair and moved his butt uneasily.

At this time, I saw other people also moving their buttocks, and their brows were frowned.

Fei Tianzheng called a maid and whispered, "Go, change the tea bowls for the masters and replace them with new tea. Please have a taste of my treasured jar of dragon tongue incense."

The maid took the order and was about to go downstairs when General Xia suddenly laughed and said, "Master Fei, there's no need to worry. I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to do at home, so I'm in a hurry to go back. I'll try the dragon tongue incense next time!"

He stood up to take his leave.

Other senior officials also stood up and said with a smile: "I have heard of the reputation of Longshexiang for a long time. It is the best tea in the world. If there is no urgent matter at home, I must try it!"

"I also have an urgent matter in the Governor's Mansion!"

"Master Fei, there's a fire in my backyard. Haha, haha! Didn't I get a new concubine the other day? She's throwing a tantrum now!"

……

The officials all made excuses, and Fei Tianzheng responded with a smile. As he was speaking, there was a sudden cry from outside, and then someone shouted, "Don't stop me! I am the captain of General Xia's entourage! Notify General Xia if there is anything important!"

Upon hearing this, General Xia showed a delighted expression and said quickly, "This man is General Tang. Don't stop him! Let him in to talk!"

All the officials stopped walking, and heard footsteps coming hurriedly. A man with blood on his face and head came to the hall and shouted, "General, there is no one alive in Daxing Zen Temple! When I entered the temple, I saw many mushrooms as big as houses!"

He looked up and saw that there were no eyes on his face, but two mushrooms instead.

Everyone was shocked and tried to move away.

Suddenly, Captain Tang felt that he couldn't breathe and shouted, "My neck is being strangled!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his whole body swell up, getting bigger and bigger. Then with a bang, a huge mushroom stretched his skin and took root in the hall, with blood splattering everywhere.

The senior officials each mobilized their inner energy to keep the blood plasma away from their bodies.

But Tang Bazong's body turned into a big mushroom, and his head rolled down. He smiled and said, "Now I won't be so tight." After that, many small mushrooms grew out of his nostrils, in all kinds of colors, red, pink, white, green.

The mushroom also sprayed spores from his ears, which fell on the tables and chairs like dust and began to grow on their own. Soon, many colorful little mushrooms grew everywhere in the hall.

"Such a strong evil pollution!" Everyone was shocked.

Several maids who served tea were covered in dust, and densely packed small mushrooms immediately grew on their heads, faces, necks, exposed arms and backs of their hands!
The maids screamed.

"My Lord, I feel so relieved right now!"

Tang Bazong's head was lying on the ground and he laughed, "For the first time, I felt the wonder of the transformation of heaven and man. I can absorb nutrients from the earth and air, and feel the nourishment of the sun!"

There is also a mushroom stalk growing out from under his neck, supporting his head, which looks like a mushroom cap.

Fourteen officials rushed out of the hall at high speed. Governor Fei Tianzheng raised his hand and waved, and the entire hall was on fire. Many maids and servants turned into ashes in the flames before they could escape!

The Tang general's head was in the fire and he cried out, "Fire! Fire! It's burning me to death! I'm almost done!"

Fei Tianzheng and others were shocked.

"boom--"

There was a loud noise like an explosion in the distance, as if someone was holding his breath and suddenly burst out, shaking the window frames.

The fourteen officials looked in the direction of the sound, and saw dust suddenly rising in the direction of Daxing Zen Temple. Facing the light of the rising sun, it was emitting various colors like a rainbow.

"Don't you have important matters at home, my lords?"

Governor Fei Tianzheng suddenly asked, "Why don't you go back and prepare?"

The senior officials came to their senses and without even saying a word, they all flew away.

Fei Tianzheng also immediately summoned all the retainers, servants and family members in the mansion, packed up their belongings, and said, "Hurry up! Get out of the city and take refuge!"

The eldest lady hurriedly said, "Master, the people in the city..."

"Isn't there still the Hongshan Hall? Quick! Quick! Load all the jewelry, jewels, gold and silver onto the car!"

The eldest lady couldn't bear it and said, "There are only a hundred people in Hongshan Hall. I'm afraid it's impossible to notify all the people in the city. It would be good enough if we can notify one tenth of them! Master, as a parent official..."

Fei Tianzheng said angrily: "Officials are also human beings! If we tell these common people, people will panic and flee everywhere. If the road is blocked, we won't be able to leave even if we want to!"

General Xia quickly returned to the mansion and ordered everyone inside and outside the Xia mansion to pack up their belongings, prepare their carriages and horses, and prepare to escape from the city.

"Where is my son Luo Ying?" General Xia asked hurriedly when he didn't see Xia Luoying.

The manager of the Xia Mansion said, "Master, Luo Ying heard that there was trouble in Hongshan Hall and that they were inciting the people to rebel, so he led his troops to capture the bandit leader!"

"Confused!"

General Xia hurriedly ordered, "Pack up and leave the city immediately. Don't delay for a moment! Master Kuzhu will soon transform into a demon. Run as fast as you can and as far as you can!"

The Xia Mansion's steward's head was buzzing, and he quickly asked, "Master, a demonic transformation? The people in the city..."

"Take care of yourself!"

General Xia rushed out of the Xia Mansion, looking for Xia Luoying.

The manager of the Xia Mansion had a gloomy expression. He suddenly gritted his teeth, his face looking a bit ferocious: "Yes, take care of myself first! My family is still in the city, so I will take care of my family first. As for the Xia Mansion... let it be!"

He stopped tidying up the Xia family and rushed home on his own.

The other senior officials returned to their homes and immediately issued orders, asking them to quickly pack up the gold, silver and treasures, load them onto the carts, and leave the city immediately without any delay.

Chen Shi and Li Tianqing were also on the street at this time. When they heard the explosion from Daxing Zen Temple, they were both shocked.

"Could this sound be the golden body of Zen Master Kuzhu exploding?" Chen Shi asked.

Li Tianqing was in doubt and shook his head, "Impossible? Master Kuzhu's golden body is unbreakable and the strongest in the world. How could it explode?"

Chen Shi said: "When we slaughter pigs in the countryside, we cut a hole in the pig's leg. The butcher blows air into the pig's leg, and the pig will swell up, making it easier to pluck and burn the pig hair. After slaughtering the pig, we take the bladder and blow it up big, like a ball. If someone is naughty and pokes it with a needle, it will explode with a bang."

He looked in the direction of Daxing Zen Temple and said, "Master Kuzhu is like a urinary bladder. He sealed his spiritual energy and spirit in a golden body. After his death, these things expanded in the golden body. If the golden body is not leaking, it's fine. But if someone pokes it with a needle, or if his original golden body is injured, I'm afraid it will burst like a urinary bladder."

As he was speaking, he saw colorful dust rising from the Daxing Zen Temple and floating in the air.

Dust is not the realm of ghosts and gods, but it shows that Zen Master Kuzhu’s golden body has been broken!
Zen Master Kuzhu absorbs the moonlight, and his demonic nature is about to burst out and expand outwards!

"Xiao Shi, let me lift you up a little higher! Take a look at what happened in Daxing Zen Temple!"

Li Tianqing suddenly activated the Six Yin Jade Wheel, and a jade wheel flew out. Chen Shi leaped up, stepped on the jade wheel, and leaped upward with force from his feet. Before the old force that he used to rush upward had dissipated, another jade wheel of Li Tianqing had already arrived under his feet.

The two of them cooperated with each other, and Chen Shi rose step by step and soon reached a high position.

Chen Shi looked as far as he could, in the direction of Daxing Zen Temple, but he saw that Daxing Zen Temple was built on a hill in the city. At this moment, a huge mushroom umbrella appeared above the temple, covering the palace.

And under the mushroom cap, shining with golden light, is a giant Buddha.

The neck of the Buddha is the handle of the mushroom!

The soul of Zen Master Kuzhu has transformed into a demon!

"That's too late!"

Chen Shi walked down from the air quickly, his face solemn, and said, "It is impossible for the people in the city to escape from the city. No one can escape!"

Li Tianqing was completely hopeless and murmured, "What should I do?"

Chen Shi looked at the panicked crowd on the street. He saw people milling around like headless flies. Some were reluctant to leave their property, some were calling their children, some were trying to carry their paralyzed mothers out, and some were leading the animals, trying to take them out as well.

These people didn't even have time to escape from Gongzhou City!
"Buzz!"

A golden light rose from Daxing Zen Temple, rushed into the sky, and exploded in the air.

At this moment, everyone raised their heads and looked towards the sky with dull eyes.

Chen Shi's eyes suddenly lit up and he said with a smile, "I have an idea!"

Li Tianqing asked quickly: "What method?"

"The head of Shiji!"

Chen Shi urged the small temple and said quickly, "Before the soul of Master Kuzhu turns this place into a demonic domain, we should first activate the head of the Shiji Goddess to demonize this place and turn it into the ghost and god domain of the Shiji Goddess!"
