When he said that..,
Everyone was silent. Because he had hit the nail on the head..,
In the past two days, no one had come to help Xie Lian. This water vendor at least had the intention of delivering water, but he did not succeed. As for the others, they did not even dare to look at him!
Someone shouted, "Then what should we do now? If you don't want to give way, give us a way! "
Seeing that the crowd was about to be in an uproar again,
There were still people who desperately squeezed forward,
At this moment..,
Another voice shouted, "Who's noisy? Whoever makes another noise, I'll cut him! "
When he looked again..,
It was the fat chef who was the first to come up and pull out the sword when Xie Lian fell down on the first day. He seemed to be angered by something..,
He said, "This brother is right! If it weren't for a few people who insisted on stopping me from going up yesterday, I would have pulled out that sword! Why haven't I moved now,
Those who stopped me were the fiercest? Pui..,
Are you worthy? It's rare to see such shameless people! "
This chef was big and had a loud voice,
He was in a fit of anger and was holding a kitchen knife. It seemed that he had just come out of the kitchen,
The few who had shouted the loudest immediately did not dare to shout anymore. Some people who did not know the situation in the past two days found out what was going on and said in shock, "No way? None of you went up? "
"Yes..,
Just let him lie there for two days? Not even a little help? "
Some of the people who were being scolded could not take it anymore,
They said, "Don't say it as if you will go up and help if you are here. What a hindsight. Don't forget, when those damn things come down later, none of you will be able to escape either! "
"Hey, I'm telling you..,
If I were there, I would definitely go up and help him pull out the sword! "
"Of course it's not tiring to talk after the matter..."
"Wait a minute! What are you all arguing about? It's not a matter of drawing the sword now! "
As they argued, the two groups of people were about to quarrel, and the rain gradually lessened. However, the black cloud became even thicker, pressing down on the hundreds of people below, making it hard for them to breathe. Suddenly, the crowd burst into a cry. Several people pointed at the sky and said, "It's here!!!"
Xie Lian also suddenly raised his head. The human faces rolling in the dark clouds suddenly moved violently. With long "tails" behind them, they fell rapidly like black meteors!
The Human Face Plague had arrived!
Everyone was shocked and flustered. Some of them ran away, some of them hid inside their houses, and some of them tried to grab the black sword. However, the black sword that had been knocked to the ground had somehow disappeared, and he had grabbed nothing but air.
Xie Lian had been startled by everyone's reaction just now. Only now did he realize this matter. "Where's the sword?! Who took it?! "
No one had the time to answer. Everyone scattered in all directions. But how could they fall as fast as the vengeful spirits? Soon, the screams of the living and the screams of vengeful spirits came from all directions!
After those vengeful spirits caught up to the living, they were like surging black smoke, entangling endlessly. They were everywhere, slowly merging into their bodies. Xie Lian did his best to drive them away, but there were still too many vengeful spirits. He couldn't drive them all away by himself. He watched as countless people were chased in front of him until they were wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves. The water vendor couple and the fat chef were also entangled by the black smoke, causing them to roll all over the ground. Meanwhile, Bai WuXiang was standing not too far away, sneering incessantly as he watched with folded arms.
Xie Lian was angry and anxious. He steeled his heart and simply roared towards the place where the vengeful spirits were the most concentrated, "Hey — —!"
After all, he was the main person who had awakened these vengeful spirits. With such a loud roar, those things naturally noticed him. Xie Lian opened his arms towards them and said, "Come to me!"
The vengeful spirits that had already entangled the living hesitated, not knowing whether they should go over or not. Meanwhile, the vengeful spirits that were still in the air immediately changed their direction and rushed towards Xie Lian.
Success!
Xie Lian's heart was beating so fast that it was about to stop. He didn't know what would happen. He also didn't know what he would become. However, with a sudden surge of hot blood in his brain, he rushed forward. He felt that even if he had to fight in front of that despicable monster, even if he was beaten black and blue, he absolutely couldn't retreat. Even if there were a thousand times more vengeful spirits, he would still be invincible!
Do you want to see me wallow in self-pity and despair?
I won't!!!
Never!!!
The overwhelming black tide surrounded Xie Lian. A vengeful spirit wailed as it passed through his body. In that instant, Xie Lian's heart seemed to freeze as his entire body shivered. Immediately after, a second one, a third one … …
These things were like wind blades as they fiercely passed through Xie Lian's body. Every time they passed, they would take away some of his remaining warmth. Xie Lian's complexion became paler and paler, but he persisted and didn't retreat.
There were only a few hundred of them. He had only persisted for a short while, but there would be more coming soon. The black clouds that filled the sky were all of them!
Xie Lian closed his eyes and prepared himself to bear the wrath of all the vengeful spirits with his own strength. Who knew that the next vengeful spirit wouldn't come even after a long time? Puzzled, he opened his eyes and suddenly discovered that the overwhelming black tide that surrounded him had disappeared.
This was because they had all turned into rolling black streams and were being sucked in in another direction!
In his astonishment, Xie Lian turned his head to look. He saw a black-clothed martial artist standing at the end of the long street. And in his hand, he was holding a black longsword.
Nameless?
Xie Lian had already told him beforehand to let him go by himself and wait for him to activate the Human Face Plague. Why would he appear here now??
Xie Lian wasn't sure what the situation was, nor did he know what the black-clothed martial artist was here for. After being stunned for a while, he immediately ran towards him, shouting as he ran, "Wait! What are you doing? Don't touch! Give me the sword! "
That black-clothed martial artist seemed to hear his voice and slightly raised his head. Xie Lian couldn't see his real face. He could only see a drawn smiling face. But, he had a strange feeling.
He felt that the face under the black clothed martial artist's mask really seemed to be smiling.
But, this feeling was fleeting. The enormous black tide and the screaming tide formed a whirlwind that converged in that direction. In an instant, it swallowed that black-clothed martial artist.
At that moment, Xie Lian heard a heart-wrenching scream.
He seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before. He must have heard this voice somewhere before!
Pain. It was so painful that he felt as if he was experiencing it himself. It was so painful that it was better to die than to live. It was so painful that his body and mind were torn apart. It was so painful that his knees fell heavily to the ground. He held his head and screamed, "Ahhhhhhhhh!!!"
That burst of pain in his heart came and went suddenly. He didn't know how much time had passed before the surroundings quieted down. Xie Lian's hands, which were holding his head, slumped down.
He raised his head absentmindedly and looked around. There were people lying on the ground in all directions. Most of them were unconscious, and the vengeful spirits that had been bothering them had all disappeared.
This scene left him bewildered. What happened to the Human Face Plague? What happened to the vengeful spirits? What had happened to him?
The black torrent had long since vanished into thin air. As for the place where the black-clothed nameless ghost originally stood, only a black sword was left on the ground. Beside the blade of the sword, there was also a small white flower.
Xie Lian staggered to his feet, walked forward, and picked up the flower and sword.
He touched his face and looked at his arms. He did not feel anything different on his body. It did not seem like he had suffered some kind of powerful curse. In the midst of his bewilderment, a voice suddenly came from behind him. "Ah."
Xie Lian turned around. Bai WuXiang stood behind him with his hands folded in his sleeves. His wide sleeves fluttered in the wind.
Xie Lian still hadn't realized what was going on, but he had a faint bad premonition in his heart.
Bai WuXiang glanced at him and chuckled. That bad premonition became even stronger. Xie Lian frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Bai WuXiang asked instead, "You still don't know what happened?"
Xie Lian asked, "What?"
Bai WuXiang asked, "Do you know who that ghost was?"
"… …" Xie Lian said, "The, the undead of the battlefield?"
Bai WuXiang said, "Yes. But at the same time, he was also your last believer in this world. Now, he's gone. "
… … Believer?
In this world, he actually still had believers?
After a long while, Xie Lian was finally able to say a few words.
He said with difficulty, "What, do you mean, gone?"
Bai WuXiang unhurriedly said, "His soul flew away and scattered."
Xie Lian found this a little hard to accept. "How did his soul fly away and scatter?!"
Bai WuXiang said, "Because he was cursed in your place. The undead you summoned back ate him until not even a scrap was left."
"… …"
The undead he summoned back?
He was cursed in his place?!
Bai WuXiang then said, "Ah, that's right. This isn't your first time seeing him."
Xie Lian stared at him blankly. Bai WuXiang said with great interest, "This ghost seems to have been following you. At first, I saw that he had a deep grudge, so I grabbed him and asked him about it. Who knew, the results were very interesting. Hungry Ghost Festival, Lantern Night, Ghost Fire Soul. Do you still remember? "
Xie Lian muttered, "Hungry Ghost Festival? Lantern Night? Ghost Fire Soul? "
Bai WuXiang leisurely hinted, "This ghost, when he was alive, was a soldier under your command. After death, he became an undead that followed you. Because of you, he died in battle. Because of you, a hundred swords pierced his heart and turned him into a malicious spirit. Also, because of you, he activated the Human Face Plague and died. "
Xie Lian seemed to vaguely remember something. However, he hadn't even seen this believer's face. He didn't even know his name. What could he possibly remember, and how much could he possibly remember?
"Perhaps there really are believers of Your Highness who are worshiping you in this place …"
Yes. There are.
Furthermore, he's the only believer!
Bai WuXiang seemed to say a lot more, but Xie Lian was in a trance and didn't hear anything. Finally, Bai WuXiang said, "A god like you is pitiful and laughable enough. Being your believer is even more pitiful and laughable to the extreme. "
"… …"
Previously, Xie Lian hadn't reacted to Bai WuXiang's ridicule. But now that he heard this thing's self-righteous evaluation of his believer as pitiful and laughable, Xie Lian felt as if he had been stabbed by a sword.
He rushed forward, but was captured in a single move. Bai WuXiang coldly said, "You won't be able to defeat me like this. How many times do I have to repeat myself before you recognize the truth?"
Xie Lian didn't have any intention of defeating Bai WuXiang, and it didn't matter even if he couldn't win. He just wanted to beat this thing up. "What do you know?! What right do you have to mock him?! "
That was the only believer he had in this world!
Bai WuXiang said, "A believer who follows a loser, why can't I mock him? You're stupid, and your believer is even more stupid. Listen! If you want to defeat me, you have to follow my teachings. Otherwise, don't ever think of defeating me! "
Xie Lian wanted to spit at him with all his might, but he couldn't even breathe. Bai WuXiang flipped his other hand, and a Joy and Sorrow Mask appeared in his palm. He said, "Now, let's start again!"
He was about to press this mask onto Xie Lian's face. Unexpectedly, right at this moment, rumble, rumble.
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky. Strange rays of light shot out from the clouds. Bai WuXiang vigilantly stopped his movements. "What is this? Heavenly Tribulation? … … "
After a pause, he rejected it. "Wrong!"
Wrong.
It was Heavenly Tribulation, but it wasn't just Heavenly Tribulation!
A man's deep voice resounded in the sky. "He can't defeat you. What about me?"
Xie Lian suddenly raised his head.
He didn't know when, but at the end of the long street in front of him, a young Martial God dressed in white armor appeared. His entire body was shrouded in a layer of faint white spiritual light. His hand rested on his sword as he walked forward step by step. In this gray and dark world, he killed his way out.
He couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Jun Wu!
… …
After the rain had passed, Xie Lian sat on the scorched black ground, slightly gasping for breath.
Jun Wu sheathed his sword and walked over. He said, "Xian Le, welcome back."
His expression was tired, and there were still bloodstains on his face. Those were left by Bai WuXiang. In addition, Jun Wu's body was also covered in dozens of large and small wounds. It couldn't be said that they weren't heavy. However, Bai WuXiang's injuries were even more severe. He was so severe that he had been beaten to the point that his spirit had dissipated. All that was left was a broken Joy and Sorrow Mask on the ground.
Hearing him say 'return', Xie Lian was startled. He touched his neck, and only then did he discover that the curse had already disappeared.
Jun Wu smiled and said, "Sure enough, I wasn't mistaken. The time it took for you to return was even shorter than I had imagined. "
Xie Lian gradually regained his senses. He also smiled, but it was a bitter smile.
After he calmed his breathing, he said, "Di Jun, I want to ask you a favor."
Jun Wu said, "Sure."
Xie Lian asked, "Aren't you going to ask me what it is?"
Jun Wu said, "In any case, when you return to the Immortal Capital, you'll have to ask for a gift. Just treat this matter as a gift for your return."
The corners of Xie Lian's mouth twitched. He stood up and looked straight at Jun Wu. Then, he solemnly said, "Then, I ask you to banish me to the mortal world once again."
Hearing this, Jun Wu's smile disappeared. He asked, "Why is that?"
Xie Lian honestly said, "I did something wrong. The second Human Face Plague was started by me. Although the consequences didn't seem too severe. "
That was because it was just a nameless ghost that disappeared. And in this world, there probably wouldn't be anyone who would care about such a nameless ghost. Therefore, it seemed that the consequences weren't too severe.
Jun Wu slowly said, "If you know what's wrong, then you're already right."
However, Xie Lian shook his head and said, "Just knowing isn't enough. If you do something wrong, then you should be punished. However, for my mistake, the one who will be punished in my place is … "
He raised his head and said, "Therefore, as a punishment, I ask Di Jun to bestow me another curse. No, two. One to seal my magic power, and the other to disperse all of my luck. "
Jun Wu slightly frowned and said, "Disperse all of your luck? Then wouldn't you be extremely unlucky? Wouldn't you really become a god of plagues? "
In the past, Xie Lian indeed cared a lot about being called a god of plagues. He was extremely resistant to it, feeling that he was greatly insulted. But now, he didn't care. He said, "If I'm a god of plagues, then so be it. It's fine as long as I know I'm not. "
After he dispersed his own luck, it would naturally be distributed to other people who were too unlucky. This could be considered compensation.
Jun Wu reminded him, "It'll be very embarrassing."
Xie Lian said, "If it's embarrassing, then it's embarrassing. To be honest, I feel … I'm almost used to it. "
Although he didn't want to get used to this kind of thing, once he got used to it, he would really be immune to hundreds of poisons.
Jun Wu looked at him and said, "Xian Le, you have to understand. Without magic power, you aren't a god."
Xie Lian sighed and said, "Di Jun, I understand this better than anyone."
Pausing, he was a bit vexed and disappointed as he said, "People say that I'm a god, so I have magic power. But in reality, I … am not the god they think I am, and I may not be invincible like they wish.
"Would a god fail like this? He wanted to protect his own people, but he let their corpses litter the land. He wanted to take revenge, but he stopped at the last moment and failed at the last step. Bai WuXiang wasn't wrong about this' failure '.
"If it's not, then it's not."
Jun Wu carefully stared at him. After a long time, he said, "Xian Le has grown up."
These words should have been said by Xie Lian's elders. Unfortunately, his Imperial Father and Imperial Mother didn't have the chance to say this.
After a while, Jun Wu said, "Since this is the path you chose, then fine. However, if you want me to demote you to the mortal world, there must be a reason. "
He couldn't casually demote a Heavenly Official like it was child's play. What did he think the Heavenly Court was?
This Xie Lian actually had an idea. He said, "Di Jun, I don't think we've ever fought with our full strength?"
Jun Wu immediately understood what he meant. He smiled and said, "Xian Le, I'm injured."
Xie Lian said, "I'm also injured. Let's call it even."
Jun Wu nodded and said, "If that's the case, then I won't be lenient."
Xie Lian smiled and his eyes flashed with eagerness. He said, "I won't either."
… …
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was demoted again.
After the spectacular second Heavenly Tribulation, Xian Le Crown Prince Xie Lian aggressively returned to the Heavenly Court. However, he only ascended for less than the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn before he was beaten down by the Martial God Emperor. All the Heavenly Officials couldn't understand what this person was trying to do.
However, Xie Lian also couldn't understand what the other Heavenly Officials wanted to do.
Was there a need to be so curious? They watched him every day. They pretended to be mortals and animals. They had been peeping at him for a few days! Was a big man moving bricks and pasting mud so good to watch???
Just as he was wondering, the foreman behind him shouted, "Newcomer, it's you, it's you, I'm talking to you! Work honestly, don't be lazy! "
Xie Lian hurriedly sat up and loudly responded, "Oh!"
He grabbed a broken palm-leaf fan and fanned himself. In front of him, there was a small stove built with bricks. On the stove, a big pot of rice was cooking.
This was the construction site where he moved the mud. However, the bricks had already been moved. Not far away, two new temples had already been built. Now, his task was to cook. While he was cooking, two carriages pulled two tall statues of gods over. Xie Lian absent-mindedly threw things into the pot. While he was busy, he took the time to look.
The two statues were carried into two different shrines. The one on the left cheered, "Hello, General Xuan Zhen! General Xuan Zhen is kind-hearted! "
Xie Lian was speechless.
Using the word "kind-hearted" to praise Mu Qing, was this group of believers serious???
However, they seemed to have a good reason for it. After all, everyone knew that Mu Qing ascended because he had cleaned up the stubborn remnant resentful spirits in Xian Le's old Imperial City. It wasn't impossible to understand it as kind-hearted. In any case, everyone in the old Imperial City was very grateful to him.
Not to be outdone, the person in the room on the right shouted, "Greetings, General Ju Yang! General Ju Yang is brave and invincible! "
Xie Lian nodded. He didn't have any objections to this point. However, when it came to women, it wasn't necessarily the case.
The believers on both sides roared at each other, trying to drown out the other. Their roars made Xie Lian's ears hurt. He sighed and rubbed his eyebrows. In his heart, he thought, why bother?
If they hated each other so much, wouldn't it be fine if they didn't build their temples in front of them?
The answer was — — of course not! This was because this was the most popular place in the city with the best fengshui. The believers of these two Heavenly Officials naturally wouldn't give up on such a fertile piece of land just to avoid each other. Of course, they would steal each other's incense and do their best to disgust each other.
Not long after, the two believers in the back had already gone from cursing each other to fighting. On this side, Xie Lian felt that it was about time. He tapped the lid with his spatula and shouted, "Everyone, stop fighting! Come eat! "
The fight was in full swing, so who cared about him? Xie Lian shook his head and opened the lid. The aroma wafted ten miles away. This time, everyone immediately stopped fighting. One after another, they howled, "… … Fuck me … … What's that smell?!"
"Who's cooking shit?!"
"And it's the smell of rice crust?!"
Xie Lian defended himself, "What! This is the Imperial Family's top secret collection … … "
The foreman covered his nose and came over to take a look. His face turned green as he jumped up and said, "Top secret collection bullshit, what kind of Imperial Family is this! You? Get out, get out, get out! Stop disgusting people! "
Xie Lian compromised and said, "Fine, you can get out, but I'll have to trouble you to first pay me … …"
The foreman angrily said, "You still dare to talk about pay! You say it! You! Ever since you came! How much have I lost!!! Ah? When it rains, the lightning doesn't strike anywhere but on your body! The house caught fire three times! And it even collapsed three times! You're practically a god of plague! You still dare to ask me for pay! Quickly get out! If you do it again, I'll hit you again! "
Xie Lian said, "You can't say it like that. You already said you came for me, but aren't other people fine every time? I think you're trying to renege on your debt? … …" Before he finished speaking, the foreman and his workmates could no longer stand the smell coming from the pot. Like a whirlwind, they ran away without a trace. Xie Lian said, "Wait a minute?!"
Turning his head, he saw that the two groups of people who had been fighting had long since left due to the smell. Xie Lian was speechless and muttered to himself, "If you don't want to eat, you still want me to cook such a big pot. Do you think you can casually waste money?"
Shaking his head, he pondered for a moment before scooping up two big bowls of rice. One big bowl was placed in Ju Yang Palace Hall, while the other big bowl was placed in Xuan Zhen Palace Hall. Finally, he felt that he had made the best use of everything. Clapping his hands together, he felt perfectly satisfied.
Outside, he tidied up his things before earnestly rolling up the straw mat on the ground. Tying it together with his sword, he carried it on his back. The white silk wrapped around his wrist stealthily rubbed a few times before Xie Lian patted it. Adjusting the bamboo hat on his head, he said, "Fine, if you don't want to pay, then don't pay. I'll go make a living. "
No matter what was said, he still had a unique skill — — — shattering rocks with his chest!
After walking for a while, Xie Lian suddenly discovered a small red flower on the side of the road. It was extremely cute. Squatting down, he lightly touched its petals. His mood was extremely good as he said to it, "I hope we'll meet again in the future."
