Chapter 213: There is a god three feet above the head

Chapter 213: There is a god three feet above the head

Outside Xuzhou City, heavy snow was falling.

Dozens of miles away, there were beams of light moving back and forth continuously.

There is also the scent of incense from the gods surrounding it.

These are the four great families from the capital: Li, Meng, Han and Liu.

However, this was different from how the children of noble families usually ordered the gods around.

This time, the children of the noble families were extremely respectful to the gods.

Because all the gods who came here were descendants of noble families who became gods on the spot.

There are even two city gods of the state, who are two uncles from the Li and Meng families. No matter their status among the aristocratic families or their official positions in Dakang, they are not much worse than Song Yuzhang.

Even the City God of the Li family is related to Song Yuzhang by blood.

At this moment.

In a Sumeru temple.

Two extremely tall and huge figures sat on the altar.

The one on the left was wearing a green robe and holding a willow scepter. There was a vine dragon wrapped around the scepter with its mouth wide open, looking solemn yet cruel.

This is the Li family’s uncle, named Li Zongtian.

The one on the right is dressed like a Confucian scholar, holding a bamboo slip in one hand and a sword in the other.

Although the two are sitting opposite each other, there are still some rules of hierarchy.

Therefore, the Li family was the main group that came to the Ten Thousand Mountains to search for the black sun, with the Meng family as a supplement, and the children of the other two families came just to gain some experience.

There are five surnames and seven families in the capital of Dakang.

Of course, this is the name after removing the most low-key Du family.

Although there were disputes among the children of the aristocratic families among the five surnames and seven families, they were still the same kind of people who sat at the table to eat, worked in collusion, and advanced and retreated together.

If the Li and Meng families find clues about the black sun, they will naturally inform others, and then they can share resources and exchange interests. This is what the aristocratic families did before the establishment of the Great Kang Dynasty.

"Have you investigated the situation in Xuzhou City?"

"I was just about to tell my third uncle."

A cultivator from the Li family stood up and saluted, saying, "Although Xuzhou City has become evil, there are still millions of people living in the city, as if Xuzhou City has become a dead city."

"And three days ago, the one from the Song family transformed into an evil being and fought with an evil being that appeared from nowhere. The two wrestled and neither could determine the winner."

"Later, I don't know what happened, but the man from the Song family was beheaded for no apparent reason. I heard that it was his own fault and God will punish him."

Listen to what the Li family members say.

Li Chenghuang was a little unhappy and said, "Does hearsay count?"

The Li family member said in embarrassment: "Third uncle, Xuzhou City has been sealed off, and there are no people within a hundred miles. I heard this news from the people guarding the city."

"As for the black sun, some people did see it on that day."

"The black sun disappeared along with the evil that suddenly appeared."

At this time, the Meng Family City God who had been silent on the side suddenly asked, "Song Yuzhang's transformation into an evil being is naturally at the level of disaster, and he also has the right time, right place, and right people. The evil being can compete with him, it seems that he is not a simple creature."

Upon hearing this, the cultivator from the Meng family also spoke up, "Sir, could it be that this evil one killed the one from the Song family?"

The monks do not believe that God will punish you for your own sins.

If there really was a punishment from heaven, these monks would have gone to hell long ago.

After the changes in heaven and earth, only the spiritual energy disappeared and evil appeared.

Even the underworld will not accept them, let alone the illusory God.

Only mortals would think that God has his will and will send down thunder to punish evildoers.

Therefore, they naturally understood without even thinking about it that Song Yuzhang must have been killed by some powerful being.

God is impossible.

Because such a powerful deity must at least be the city god of a state, and he must also be a salaried official.

And such people are all in the capital, among the aristocratic families.

Therefore, the one who did it must be evil.

When talking about evil, the expressions of the two city gods were somewhat subtle.

"Go down first. We will consider this matter."

"As for Xuzhou City, you can try to make contact with the mortals, but don't rush into the city."

Xuzhou City is an evil place.

Chen Huangpi killed its soul but did not destroy its body.

Although ordinary people can live freely in the city now, it does not mean that monks and gods can. No one can guarantee that some strange changes will not occur once they enter.

Wait until all the monks go down.

Li Chenghuang said in a deep voice: "Brother Song and I are close friends. I knew a little about his affairs when I came here. There was indeed an evil being in the city that day. Could it be this?"

Meng Cheng Huang pondered for a moment and said slowly: "If so, then the Black Sun must have fallen into the hands of Your Majesty."

Although they were not clear about what happened in Xuzhou City.

But we all know that His Majesty has sent an imperial envoy to Xuzhou City.

Afterwards, Song Yuzhang turned into an evil being.

The aristocratic families are well aware of this.

Because His Majesty was displeased with the matter of Song Tiangang and demanded an explanation, the Song family had no choice but to give up Song Yuzhang.

"However, there has been no movement in the capital."

Meng Chenghuang was puzzled and asked, "It seems that the imperial envoy has not returned to the capital yet. Logically speaking, if it were him, he should have handed the Black Sun over to Your Majesty long ago."

Your Majesty's imperial envoy is evil.

This matter is a taboo in Dakang. Among the five surnames and seven families, only the five major families know about it.

"There are many evils in the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

Li Chenghuang said thoughtfully: "In the early years, I heard that there were extremely terrifying evil things hiding there, some of which were able to destroy the world, but those things followed certain rules."

"They will never set foot outside the Shiwan Mountains."

"However, even if you and I speculate here for a long time, I'm afraid we won't be able to guess a conclusion."

As he spoke, Li Chenghuang calmed down and made a decision: "Brother Meng, I know you brought that thing this time, and the matter of the Black Sun is like a tangled mess, so why not find a quick solution?"

"If that thing is in the hands of the imperial envoy, we will return to Beijing and make a decision later."

"If that thing is in the Ten Thousand Mountains, you and I should act carefully. If we really encounter something wrong, you and I can support each other and get out of it."

The reason why these people are obsessed with the black sun.

It was because the brass oil lamp turned into something evil for the first time, and took Chen Huangpi from the Yellow Springs to travel around the sky outside.

Wherever he passed, the gods felt his presence.

They wanted that thing very much.

It was as if the black sun would bring them an unprecedented blessing.

However, although the Black Sun is important, this matter is indeed a mess.

Although the aristocratic families wanted it.

But since the beginning of winter, there have been signs that something is wrong.

Your Majesty is still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

However, the Song family was very secretive about this and never sent anyone to participate in the Black Sun incident. Moreover, when the sun and the moon disappeared a few days ago, even the person from the Du family seemed to have returned to the capital.

Meng Chenghuang naturally understood his friend's concerns.

He thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Brother Li, although I brought that thing with me, and I can open up the situation for you and me as you said, but if Black Sun really follows that evil into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, I will not go in with you."

The aristocratic families exchange information with each other, rather than share it.

The Meng family knew that the Buddhist country in the Western Regions had sent many powerful men into the Ten Thousand Mountains. Among them was a traveler who had a Bodhisattva hidden in his body.

Bodhisattva is a more powerful being than the City God.

But yesterday, news came from the Meng family in the capital.

All the monks sent from the Buddhist country in the Western Regions died, even the Bodhisattvas.

However, the Buddhist country in the Western Regions did not seem to be angry about this.

Instead, everyone from top to bottom was happy. It was said that they sensed the presence of the Buddha and wanted to perform an extremely grand ritual to welcome the Buddha back.

Anyway, no matter what.

The Shiwanda Mountains are not a good place to go.

If a Bodhisattva says death is death, then death is death, let alone the city gods who are three points weaker than the Bodhisattva.

Li Chenghuang had no objection to this.

He knew his friend very well. He never did anything without a purpose. If he said that, there must be a reason for it. "Well, let's do as Brother Meng says."

Li Chenghuang said in a deep voice: "Let's do it. Let's finish this matter as soon as possible, and you and I can return to the capital as soon as possible."

Seeing that both parties agreed, the City God of the Meng family no longer had any further reasons.

Just a big wave of the hand.

Then a large porcelain flower vat three meters wide and two meters deep appeared out of thin air.

It is called a jar, but in fact, to the gods, it is only the size of a bowl.

"Here comes the water!"

Meng Chenghuang pointed at the bowl, and clear water immediately gushed out of the bowl.

Then, he threw the bamboo slips in his hand into the bowl.

There was a crash.

The hemp rope that fixed the bamboo slips immediately broke into pieces, but the strange thing was that the bamboo slips did not scatter, but stood upright in the bowl.

At this time, the clear water in the bowl suddenly began to flow.

The ink on the bamboo slips began to spread when they were washed by clear water.

Li Chenghuang took a look but couldn't make any sense of it. He just felt that the ink marks were erratic. However, he also knew that the Meng family's sea bowl had a great origin. It was a treasure obtained from a certain sect before the changes in heaven and earth.

Not only can it see into all directions, but it can also predict future events.

Of course, the bowl in front of him was just a replica, and it didn't have such mysterious powers.

The City God of the Meng family looked at the ink in the bowl.

The more I looked at his expression, the weirder it seemed.

"That's weird, that's weird."

"Why do you say that, Brother Meng?"

"That evil is not in the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

Meng Cheng Huang frowned and said, "I have calculated with this white jade bowl that the evil is in this temple."

"What did you say?"

Li Chenghuang's face changed drastically, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find any evil hiding in the temple.

"Something's wrong, something's wrong."

Meng Cheng Huang said as if he had seen a ghost: "I actually calculated that I am the evil one. No, Brother Li, you are the evil one, that's not right either."

"What on earth is that evil thing?"

There is a big problem with the measurement method.

It’s not that it can’t be calculated, but the result is too outrageous.

The more Meng Chenghuang tried to figure it out, the more panicked he became. The more he tried to figure it out, the more weird and strange it seemed.
He sensed that evil was everywhere.

Even the air I breathed in my mouth seemed to be a part of that evil.

The most important thing is that there is no other result except being everywhere.

“Is there really such a thing as heaven?”

Meng Chenghuang was terrified and looked upward. Through the roof of the temple, he seemed to see a huge shadow. The shadow had a pair of indifferent eyes, looking down on all living beings coldly.

"There is no such thing as heaven."

Li Chenghuang frowned and said, "There are gods above our heads, how can we see the decree from the God of Heaven?"

"Wait, my Moonlit White Jade Bowl..."

Meng Chenghuang's eyes widened as he suddenly discovered that the water in the bowl was still spinning.

In other words, the calculation is still ongoing.

Logically speaking, he measured a result that was not a result, and the calculation method should have ended. However, now not only did it not stop, but it was madly accelerating the process.

Measurement is not without cost.

What Meng Chenghuang pays is incense and offerings.

According to previous calculations, 30% of the incense has already been spent.

And now, this calculation method was still absorbing the incense in his body, and the speed was getting faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, another 30% was gone.

"Oh no! I can't stop!!"

Meng Chenghuang screamed and said in horror: "Brother Li, quickly, break this bowl and break my calculation method."

As soon as he finished speaking, 70% of the incense in his body had disappeared.

If the incense is sucked dry.

Then it's time to suck his life away.

Boom!
Li Chenghuang raised the rattan dragon staff in his hand and hit the bowl.

It's just a matter of seconds.

The bowl was broken immediately.

But what was strange was that the clear water in the bowl was still rotating, and the writing on the bamboo slips was washed away by the clear water, so that the clear water turned into black water.

"This this……"

Li Chenghuang just felt his scalp tingling.

Because Meng Chenghuang, who was chatting and laughing with him a few breaths ago, has now become gray-haired, and there are countless spider-web-like cracks on the surface of his skin.

The gods are all made of clay or wood.

It is the incense that sustains their flesh and blood.

Meng Chenghuang is finished.

It's going to end like this for no apparent reason.

Li Chenghuang didn't even know what was going on. He just wanted to figure out where the evil came from and didn't want to figure out anything else, but the evil was like a taboo.

As long as you try to measure it, such strange and surprising changes will occur.

There was a crash.

Meng Chenghuang's legs collapsed, revealing the wooden supports inside.

Yellow soil was splattered everywhere.

In a short period of time, his life came to an end.

"Brother Li..."

Meng Chenghuang fell to the ground, and with his last bit of strength he shouted hoarsely: "I calculated it. I calculated that the evil thing is a dead thing..."

After saying this, Meng Chenghuang collapsed with a loud bang, and the clay head rolled to the ground.

Li Chenghuang, who witnessed all this, felt cold sweat all over his body.

That evil being must be an extremely terrifying existence.

The incense and life of a city god only revealed that the evil was everywhere and it was a dead thing.

This means that even if the entire Meng family was put on the line and the original bowl was used, it is estimated that it may not be possible to detect the origin of the evil.

Now, Li Chenghuang didn’t know how to explain to the Meng family.

After all, it sounds like no one would believe it.

I'm afraid people would think that he was the one who killed the City God of the Meng family.

However, soon Li Chenghuang no longer had to worry about this matter.

Because the next second.

He saw a blurry figure poking its head out from the black water.

The figure was completely black except for a pair of extremely strange eyes. There was a golden vortex in the left eye, while the right eye was silver-white, like the sun and the moon.

The moment when that thing was staring at me.

Li Chenghuang felt like his mind exploded.

……

Xuzhou City, inside Dingxiang Tower.

The brass oil lamp asked, "Chen Huangpi, what are you thinking about?"

"Huang Er, could it be that Master has really driven me crazy?"

Chen Huangpi said with a sullen look on his face, "Just now it seemed like someone was constantly whispering in my ear. It gave me a terrible headache, so I looked in the direction of the voice, and I saw a mad little man who almost scared me to death."

"Don't worry, you can just prescribe some medicine for yourself later."

The brass lamp urged, "The meal is over. Since you are too lazy to deal with those monks, then start moving Xuzhou City into the Shiwan Mountains. I really want to know what will happen." (End of this chapter)
