If you don’t give up, I’d like to be your adoptive father.
Chapter 580: Abandoning Darkness and Turning to Light
Chapter 580: Abandoning Darkness and Turning to Light
“What did the fairy ask the little god to confess?”
Zhao Chenghuang’s heart skipped a beat, and his dark and thin face showed only natural confusion.
Xiao Yu said calmly: “Did you see my magical power?”
Zhao Chenghuang bowed his head, knelt respectfully, and said sincerely: “Fairy Yu has unparalleled magical powers, and I admire you very much.
The previous rudeness in words and attitude was not Xiaoshen’s intention.
I am a soldier of the gods, and I have a rough nature. Please forgive me, fairy.”
His voice was so gentle as if he was talking to his own mother.
It is not scary for a person to be brutal and cruel.
Even if a person is extremely powerful, there is no need to be too afraid.
If a person is cunning and has a meticulous mind, you don’t have to worry about it.
But there was a person who was extremely powerful and cunning, who plotted against two hundred monsters alone, and who was accustomed to “killing people and destroying their souls, and doing things that would wipe out entire families”. It would be too terrifying to be targeted by her.
He is indeed a proud nobleman of the Chinese nation.
He was granted the title of nobility for his military merits. He was the patriarch of the Zhao family and a true nobleman.
But there are always nobler people above noble people.
Even noble people have to get used to kneeling.
Xiao Yu smiled and said, “You are so arrogant at first and respectful later, which really makes me feel happy.
But I have more important things to do at this moment.
Zhao Chenghuang, tell me, after we have wiped out all the monsters in Fenghou Bay, what is the most important thing to do now?”
Zhao Chenghuang asked tentatively, “Hunting down the fleeing monsters and preventing them from wreaking havoc on the Shu Kingdom?”
“This is important, but not the most important.” Xiao Yu shook his head, his eyes gradually sharpened, “You are a military marquis of Shangbang, and grasping the battle situation and judging the battlefield situation are your strengths!
If you play dumb, you will not only lose face for yourself, but also for the Chinese nation.”
Zhao Chenghuang was in a state of confusion, he lowered his eyes to avoid her gaze, and said sullenly: “If it were any other day, any of the escaped monsters would be a big problem.
But now they have a leader, the Black Dragon Demon King.
Once the news of the incident in Howling Wind Bay spreads, the Black Dragon Demon King will probably not let it go.
Therefore, the most urgent task at this moment is to find the Black Dragon Demon King and kill him before he goes crazy.”
Xiaoyu nodded gently, “So are you willing to take me to find him?”
Zhao Chenghuang looked embarrassed, “I really don’t know where he is.”
Xiaoyu said, “Look to the east.”
Zhao Chenghuang raised his head and looked towards the east.
Xiao Yu said, “I agreed with you to start at the time of Chen. It was not yet three quarters of Chen, and the sun had just come out. If he hadn’t suddenly woken up on a whim, the demon dragon would still be sleeping.
Now you can insist that you don’t know where he is.
But after he woke up and found out about Fenghou Bay, and knew whether it was you who helped me find Langhuan Water Palace, or whether you led the ghosts and gods to block the news, what do you think his reaction would be?
Will you be able to hide your scandal by then?”
The news that two hundred demon generals were hiding in the Langhuan Water Palace was not spread by him.
He blocked the news also under the command of Master Xuanyin.
But Zhao Chenghuang knew that if he continued to claim that he didn’t know, the above false news would definitely be deliberately released by the cunning and vicious Yu Fengxian.
His face was gloomy, and he asked in a hoarse voice: “Why do you think I know where the magic dragon is?”
“How do you think your predecessor, Guan Chenghuang, died? Why did he fail? Have you investigated?” Xiaoyu asked.
Zhao Chenghuang said: “He didn’t know you knew the secrets of medicine. This was his biggest mistake.”
“You are wrong, this is not his mistake, it is the result of my deliberate misleading of him.
Before the incident at Yingxiang Mansion, I had deliberately revealed my weakness of low poison resistance in front of him many times.” Xiao Yu said.
Zhao Chenghuang was shocked and confused.
Xiao Yu said: “Think about it again, why can I mislead him? Because I understand the abilities of you ghosts and gods, and know to what extent you can do it.
The bastard, he knew immediately when I killed people and set fire in Shuiyue Temple; he also knew immediately when I forged the sword bone at Wang Family Tomb Hill.
Whenever I appear in the world of the living, he knows everything I do.
Now you tell me that you don’t know where the magic dragon is?
Is the Demonic Dragon even more low-key and tolerant than I was back then?
The evil generals under his command capture hundreds or even thousands of women and children every day. How could you, a dignified military marquis of a state, be so indifferent to such a big commotion?
If you are really ten or a hundred times more incompetent than Guan Chenghuang, it would be reasonable for me to slap you to death right now, and even the judge of the underworld would have nothing to say. What do you think?
In other words, in the Qin army, if the leader of an army is so incompetent, should he be killed?”
Zhao Chenghuang was sweating.
I was sweating profusely at first, and then sweat began to seep out of my forehead and face.
He is a ghost god, and his body is forged with the power of incense and vows (divine power). The sweat that sheds carries the strong smell of incense.
“Look at your behavior. Even a fool can see that you are guilty and nervous.” Xiao Yu pointed at his face and shouted, “Idiot, why don’t you turn back!”
This shout was a mental attack.
She has several mental attacks.
The “Tiger Roar” of Hupo Qisha, the “Soul-Falling Sound Waves” learned from the Soul-Falling Bell, and the ancient dragon’s magical power “Dragon Roaring in the Nine Heavens”. At this time, it is the “Tiger Roar and Dragon Roar” driven by the “Duo Xin Jing”, which is like a dusk drum and a morning bell, and is particularly deafening.
Zhao Chenghuang shouted excitedly: “I have no guilty conscience. I have a clear conscience. Look at yourself, what are you doing now?
I am the great military marquis of the Great Qin, and I am the City God of Yingxiang Prefecture.
But you scolded me like my grandson, and I could only endure it.
Because you are omnipotent and cruel.
Is it possible that the demon dragon is not as cunning and powerful as you?
What else can we ghosts and gods do when faced with powerful, ruthless and cruel villains except being cautious and submissive?
At least I forced the Demonic Dragon to promise not to invade Yingxiang Mansion.
I protected millions of lives in Yingxiang Prefecture.
I am only the City God of Yingxiang Mansion, and the power of the City God of Yingxiang Mansion is limited.” “Are you done? If you are done, take me to find the magic dragon.” Xiao Yu said lightly.
Zhao Chenghuang waved his hands vigorously and shouted: “I haven’t finished yet! I am the patriarch of the Zhao family. I have been of noble status since birth. I have also made outstanding military achievements and made great contributions to the Qin Dynasty and the Emperor of Man.
I died on the battlefield, wrapped in my horse’s hide.
My 3,000 Guangling soldiers and I served the Qin army loyally, but our entire army was wiped out.
Do you know how it feels to see yourself and your brothers being trampled into meat paste by 100,000 Hun cavalry?
Do you know the horror of death?
I’ve died once, I don’t want to die again!
Based on my achievements in life, I am fully qualified to enjoy the incense and offerings from the world.
Authority in hand, immortality, unlimited energy.
Why should I live in fear and be bullied at will by you powerful people?
This is not the fairy life I want!”
Xiao Yu stretched out her right hand like lightning, grabbed his neck, and said coldly: “I am in a hurry. If you say another word of nonsense, I will make you experience the horror of death again.”
The murderous aura in her body was released without reservation. Zhao Chenghuang felt like he had fallen into a winter lake. His feverish brain instantly cooled down, and his flushed face turned pale.
“In Longtou Town, the magic dragon is in Longtou Town. The ‘Cen Family’ is located on Liulin Street in Longtou Town.”
When Xiao Yu let go, he hurriedly explained: “Fairy Yu, I really didn’t collude with the demon dragon.
As you expected, the magic dragon is harming people unscrupulously. I noticed that there was something strange about the land god Longtou Town, so I followed him secretly, but was discovered by the magic dragon. I am just an insignificant god and cannot defeat the magic dragon!
Yes, I can escape, but I can escape the City God, but I cannot escape the City God Temple.
If the little god does not reach an agreement with him in private, not only will the City God’s blessed land be destroyed by him, but many counties in Yingxiang Prefecture will also not be able to be preserved.
Previously you came to Chenghuang’s blessed land to look for the little god.
Xiaoshen’s soldier was in a savage state and his attitude was arrogant and rude. Xiaoshen deserved to die, but Xiaoshen really had no bad intentions.
Who could have imagined at that time that a mere mortal like you could actually slaughter the eight great demon immortals and almost wipe out the two hundred most elite demon soldiers under the Demon Dragon?
Even just now, when I didn’t reveal the details immediately, I was still worried in my heart!
The magic dragon was able to subdue many demon kings and generals, so he must be more powerful than them.
He is not alone, he has a hundred demon servants around him.
In the Demon Dragon Palace thousands of miles away, there are tens of thousands of demon soldiers and generals.
I am afraid that something might happen to you. I am also worried that the monsters will take revenge on West Shu and bring disaster to millions of people there!
What the demon dragon wants is nothing more than the inheritance of the ancient Dragon Palace.
When the Water Palace appears, he will leave Xishu regardless of whether he has obtained the inheritance or not.
Why bother fighting him?
Of course, this was my previous humble opinion.
Now Fairy Yu has used her great magical power to wipe out two hundred demon generals. We are now at loggerheads with the demon dragon, and the battle will not stop until we die.
Fairy Yu was decisive and brave. She made a quick decision to go find the magic dragon. I admire her very much and agree with her very much.
Now I have to dissuade Fairy Yu, I just hope Fairy Yu can understand my difficulties and helplessness. “
As he spoke, he bowed repeatedly.
Xiao Yu asked, “Have you sent the letter to Chongda?”
“Chongda.” Zhao Chenghuang was stunned for a moment, then nodded awkwardly, “I was confused and blinded by lard, and made a big mistake. But if the letter is to be delivered to Daqin and handed over to Chongda, it will probably take a long time.
I will try my best to see if I can intercept the letter.”
Xiao Yu didn’t get angry, but nodded with satisfaction, “Very good, you didn’t hesitate, didn’t lie, maybe you can change for the better.”
Zhao Chenghuang immediately said, “I am willing to reform myself. Please let Fairy Yu know!”
By the time of “Journey to the West”, the underworld system of ghosts and gods had become bloated with staff to the point where there was “one local god every ten miles and one mountain god every ten miles”.
At that time, the Qin Dynasty’s township system had a headman every ten miles, a township consisting of a hundred miles, and three elders in each township.
According to the underworld system during Journey to the West, there must be a hundred local gods in a village of a hundred miles in radius, which are even more terrifying than Xiaoyu’s real civil servants.
The ghosts and gods in the underworld are not so complicated now.
Including the farmlands outside, the entire Longtou Town is at least thirty miles in radius, and there is only one land god.
Like the City God’s Yamen in Yingxiang Prefecture, the temple of the God of Land is also divided into yin and yang.
The land temple in the countryside is very small, often just a small shrine built at the intersection.
Longtou Town is a transportation hub. Fifteen miles northeast is the Heilong River ferry. If you go southwest, you can enter the highway that leads directly to Luodu.
The town was prosperous and the God of Land also had a rather spacious temple.
Temples collect incense and prayers from all living beings and project them into the underworld, forming a “Shinto blessed land.”
The residence of the God of Land is within the blessed land.
Even Xiao Yu could not use the Xukong Step to quietly enter any Shinto blessed land.
But if the city god can help.
“Master, please spare me. Fairy Yu, please spare me. I am forced to do this!”
Sun Bin, the local god of Longtou Town, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged.
There was no room for resistance. City God Zhao raised the City God Seal and directly sealed off the blessed land in the underworld.
Xiaoyu pushed the door open and kicked the panicked old man over. With the words “Your affair has been exposed”, the other party immediately backed down.
“The Black Dragon Demon King has great magical powers and is good at exorcising gods and controlling ghosts. He directly detained me in front of him.
He was also extremely cunning, and asked the old man to deliberately reveal his weakness in front of the City God, luring the City God into a trap.”
Having said this, the five-foot-tall old man raised his head and looked at Zhao Chenghuang with a puzzled look.
—Master, when will you turn back?
Seeing that the host seat had returned to Yu Fengxian and Zhao Chenghuang was just sitting beside her with a flattering look on his face, the God of Land realized what was happening.
——The master’s affair has been exposed and has implicated him!
“Fairy Yu, there is nothing I can do! The Black Dragon Demon King is not using evil methods, he is using the proper art of controlling the spirits.
As a land god, I can’t resist any Taoist law at all. I can only appear in front of him and let him do whatever he wants.”
