Chapter 409 The gatekeeper
"Yushu Wang Lingguan Huofu? Is this Wang Lingguan also a god from China."
Chen Shi was in high spirits and looked at the mountain. I saw that the terrain of the mountains was complex and steep, and it was not easy to find where the Fire Palace was hidden, so I said, "Brother Taoist, can you help lead the way to this temple?"
Hagoromo Taoist Chi After a moment of doubt, he declined politely and said, "Fusheng Town still needs to be protected by me. If I follow you into the mountains, I'm afraid the town will be invaded by evil spirits and everyone in the town will die."
Chen Shi looked around, but saw There were many evil ghosts outside the town, hiding in the dark. They were clearly eyeing Fusheng Town. He smiled and said, "How about this? I'll let Black Pot stay and help you guard Fusheng Town. You lead me to find the Fire Mansion, and we'll come back when we get there."
Taoist Yuyi said doubtfully: "Heiguo is——"
Heiguo reached out and patted his shoulder. Taoist Yuyi turned around and saw the big dog standing upright. He was startled, but then he regained his composure.
Nowadays, evil spirits are rampant in this world, and he has long been accustomed to it. Yiyihei made him think so.
"Senior Heiguo can help guard Fusheng Town, which is a hundred times better than me." Heiguo asked him to say.
The scholars saw this and hurriedly said: "Master Yu, please don't agree and hand over our town to the black dog——""
Senior Guo, there must be nothing wrong! "
The people of Fusheng Town have gathered together at this moment, nodding their heads after hearing the words, showing a reassuring look.
Although Taoist Yu felt something was wrong, he could not detect anything wrong. He said: "The reason why I know that the temple is called Wang Lingguan Fire Mansion is because when the mountain emerged from the ground six days ago, there was a bright light in the mountain, and several gold characters appeared, which were Yushu Wang Lingguan Fire Mansion. Later, those gold characters shrank into the mountain and disappeared, but I expected Jin The place where the words disappear is where you are looking. As for whether I can really find it, I am not sure."
Chen Shi smiled and said, "Brother Dao, don't worry, even if you can't find it, it's nothing."
They were about to set off, when Chen Shi suddenly raised his head and looked towards the sky.
· Taoist Yu was different and raised his head as well. He saw a red light exploding in the air, like a blooming flower cluster. The red light stuck to the sky and spread slowly around.
“What is that?” The people in the town were puzzled and whispered among themselves.
Chen Shi's face changed slightly.
"Magic transformation!"
The red light spreading in the air is the expanding demonic realm!
There was a demon species nearby, and it "took root and sprouted" at this time.
"It's a magic change!"
Taoist Yu looked panicked and shouted quickly, "Everyone listen to the order and gather here immediately. I will mobilize the magic to send you away!"
A scholar rushed towards the town and shouted: "Bring food and livestock!"
Another female scholar grabbed his wrist: "Qian Yu, it's too late to take away the food and livestock! The magic is changing too fast. Once you pack the food and livestock, you won't be able to escape!"
The scholar Qian Yu threw her hand away and said angrily: "Without food and livestock, what can we eat? There is nothing to eat outside!"
The female scholar was stunned and said in despair: "With food and livestock, we can't escape——"
Qian Yu was so confused that he didn't know what to do.
At this moment, another group of red light exploded in the distant sky, and the light flowed in all directions in the sky, like a red lumpy cover, slowly covering it.
Chen Shi looked up, his face solemn.
The second demonic realm.
At this time, another rising light caught his eye. Chen Shi turned around and saw clusters of light rising from the ground around Fusheng Town, slowly rising to the sky, and then exploding on the dome.
He couldn't help but be stunned.
Taoist Yu was also stunned, and the scholars who were quarreling also stopped quarreling and stared at the sky blankly.
The townspeople who came with their families were still noisy. Some people couldn't find their children and shouted their names loudly. Some husbands yelled at their wives, telling her not to pack their things and run for their lives. Some people supported the trembling old woman and walked forward with difficulty.
When everyone came to the streets of the town, it suddenly became quiet.
They looked up and stared blankly at the sky.
One demonic realm after another is blooming around Fusheng Town.
Many demonic realms intersect, like circular covers one after another, falling from the sky.
The first level of demonic realm has been formed.
The villagers stood there blankly, at a loss. Several scholars woke up and looked at Taoist Yu with expressions of expectation.
Taoist Yu opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but nothing came out.
He is the godmother of this town. He has cultivated a golden body and has supernatural powers. In the eyes of the scholars, he is almost omnipotent.
The path of godmother’s cultivation begins with condensing the divine image with extraordinary power. After the divine form is formed, as the incense continues, it will evolve from the divine form into a golden body, which can be invisible or visible. The godmother with a golden body is equal to ghosts and gods, and is extremely powerful, comparable to monks in the realm of transformation.
Even powerful ghosts and gods, such as the Yin Commander and the Judge of the Thirteenth Family, are blessed by the incense of the ghosts in multiple hells, and their cultivation strength even surpasses that in life, reaching an incredible level.
However, Fusheng Town is a small town with too few residents and limited incense. Although Yu Taoist has become a golden body, his strength is only equivalent to the spirit transformation realm and can compete with ordinary ghosts and evil spirits. If he encounters ghosts and gods, he may not even be able to save his own life, let alone Fusheng Town.
Not to mention the current demonic changes.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the trees in the town that had been withered by the Yin Qi suddenly bloomed with flowers. Those grasses and trees that have long since dried up are filled with flowers.
A duck quacked and passed quickly among the stunned people. Suddenly, its head slowly bloomed, and a bloody flower was blooming on the duck's neck.
A woman screamed in horror, stretched out her hand to scratch her face, and unexpectedly uncovered a thin petal from her face.
She was so frightened that she stretched out her hands to grab at random, and layers of petals were peeled off her face!
People in the town fell into uneasiness. Some people felt that their faces began to itch, and some felt that the back of their heads began to itch, but they did not dare to scratch.
However, it soon became more and more itchy!
"I can't stand it anymore!"
A man yelled and raised his hand to scratch his head, and soon the back of his head turned into thin petals and spread out.
The more he scratched, the more itchy he became. He shook his head hard, and the whole head turned into rotating petals, slowly blooming.
The petals are dripping with blood and are extremely bright.
"Haha, the itch is finally gone!" The man held the big flower on his neck and his voice came from nowhere.
Taoist Yu is completely devastated.
At this time, Chen Shi's voice came: "Black Guo, I'm asking you to suppress the evil change."
Taoist Yu laughed and said: "It can't be done, it can't be done!"
< br/> He seemed to have lost his mind and gone crazy, shouting: "We are finished, we are all finished! The demonic realm has been established, no one can escape! Even if we escape, there will be demonic changes outside! All living beings are destroyed! Destroyed! We will all die!"
Suddenly, the black pot appeared in its true form, transforming into a mountain-like giant beast, with its head and tail longer than Fucheng Town. Its whole body was blazing with demonic fire, exuding billowing demonic energy. It roared like a rolling thunder, deafening!
In Fusheng Town, all demonic changes were suppressed by it, the demonic energy in everyone's bodies ceased, and the changing bodies no longer changed!
It's just that the person whose head had turned into a big flower just now has not changed back. Only by killing the demons and eliminating the demonic changes will they return to normal.
Taoist Yu looked up at the huge black dog in front of him. Is this the same dog just now?
"Woof!" Hei Guo shouted at Chen Shi.
Chen Shi nodded and said: "You're right, that demon will definitely come to you and try to get rid of you. Shiji, come out and help!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Taoist Yu saw a woman with an abnormal head-to-body ratio flying out of the small temple behind Chen Shi's head. She was getting taller and taller, exuding an aura as powerful as a demon.
"Shiji, I'll leave it to you and Black Pot here." Chen Shi ordered.
"Respect the decree of the law!" Empress Shiji bowed.
Taoist Yu looked at Empress Shiji with sincerity. This big-headed woman gave him a sense of oppression that was stronger than a scapegoat!
Chen Shi called him several times, and he finally came to his senses. He saw that Chen Shi had already arrived outside the town and hurriedly followed him.
He hurriedly came to Chen Shi and looked at the young man. After a while, he mustered up the courage to say, "May I ask who you are?"
Before Chen Shi could answer, Zhu Xiucai beside him said lazily: "He was a child scholar who was famous all over the world back then, the current number one scholar, and also the true king of Xiniu Xinzhou. Chen Really. Xiao Shi, don’t forget to bring the Xiwang Jade Seal with you.”
Taoist Yu’s mind was filled with confusion: “True King? He owns the Xiwang Jade Seal? But he is obviously just a teenager.”
Chen Shi responded, raised his hand and waved lightly, and the Xiwang Jade Seal flew out of the wooden cart.
Zhu Xiucai flew into the small temple behind him, continued to sit on the shrine, and said: "Xiao Shi, there is something wrong with the magic transformation this time. How could so many magic changes suddenly break out at the same time?"
Chen Shi nodded lightly and said: "I also have this suspicion. So many magical changes erupting at the same time are definitely not natural! These magical changes seem to happen to surround this mountain peak, as if they are deliberately targeting this mountain peak-"
Teacher, do you know who Wang Lingguan is? ”
Zhu Xiucai thought for a while and said: “According to the records of my old Zhu family, Wang Lingguan should be a gatekeeper.”
“Door God?”
Chen Shi was surprised. Judging from the direction of the demonic transformation, the target of these dozens of demons was probably Wang Lingguan. Before Wang Lingguan recovered, he would use the demonic transformation to assimilate him or even eliminate him!
Does it require such a big battle to deal with a mere goalkeeper?
Chen Shi asked: "Teacher, in what book did you see Wang Lingguan?"
Zhu Xiucai thought: "It seems to be a book that records various spells, called the Train King Lingguan Scripture. But it only has a name, no content. This skill has been lost."
Chen Shi thought about it carefully, and there was no such skill in the True King's treasury.
"Who is he guarding the door for?"
"I don't know about that."
Zhu Xiucai said, "However, the status of the door god is not very high.
Chen Shi was even more surprised. If so many demons were not here to deal with Wang Lingguan, who else could they be here to deal with?
"Are you here to deal with me?" Zhu Xiucai murmured.
Chen Shi followed Taoist Yu to climb the mountain and gradually reached a high place.
He looked down from a high place and looked around. He saw huge flowers among the vast land, lakes, swamps and mountains.
Those magic flowers are extremely large, several acres in diameter, but the flowers have not bloomed, but are in the state of buds.
The buds seem to be breathing, sometimes getting bigger and sometimes smaller.
Suddenly, one of the flower buds rotated and bloomed outward, and a tall body flew out from the flower bud, with long stamens connected to its back.
That tall body floated in the air, motionless.
"This is the demon species that caused the demonic transformation! There are dozens of similar demon species!"
Chen Shi calmed down and quickly followed Taoist Yu.
They soon came to a cliff. Chen Shi looked back and saw that the tall figure growing out of the big flower had disappeared, leaving only a withered big flower.
Chen Shi paused slightly: "The devil is on the move! We have to hurry up!"
Taoist Yu hurriedly walked, and suddenly said: "It should be nearby!"
Chen Shi grabbed a handful of withered yellow leaves, blew them out in one breath, and turned into orioles and flew around, searching for the location of Wang Lingguan's Fire Mansion. However, he flew all over the surrounding mountains and forests, but never found it.
He offered sacrifices to the Yuanshen. The Yuanshen stood on a high place and looked down, but no trace of any palace or temple was found.
In the distance, the devil flowers have withered and the devil seeds have disappeared.
Chen Shi felt awe-inspiring in his heart. He waved his sleeves, and the withered yellow leaves flew up one after another. He blew out a breath of true energy, and a strong wind blew. The dead leaves turned into oriole birds and flew away, searching more carefully.
"Found it!"
Chen Shi suddenly noticed that an oriole bird turned into a dead leaf and burned. He immediately flew up, lightning exploded under his feet, and he came to the falling ashes with a hiss.
He raised his finger and touched it lightly, and suddenly a burning sensation came.
Pieces of talisman and seal barriers emerged, shining with golden light. The talismans had no paper. They were written directly in the air with a gold pen mixed with cinnabar, forming a seal!
Behind this heavy barrier is an ancient temple.
Chen Shi looked at these sealing talismans. The talismans were in the form of Huode and Red talismans. The talismans were painted with the gods of the Huode and Red lineages, and the words of the gods were written next to them.
Some of the talismans are not even among the Luo Tianda and Zhou Tianda left behind by Grandpa and the creator Xiao Wu!
"Beyond Luo Tianda and Zhou Tianda, there should be a higher level!" Chen Shi thought.
He memorized these talismans and immediately tried to break the seal.
He was originally a master of the Tao of Talisman. He quickly cracked the seal and came to the Palace of Fire of King Yushu Lingguan first.
At the same time, outside Fusheng Town, Heiguo noticed that powerful demonic energy was rapidly approaching here and couldn't help but become nervous, and roared uneasily.
Empress Shi Ji also noticed the many tyrannical auras, and said something bad in her heart: "I must have some backbone this time, and I can't embarrass myself in front of the envoy anymore - Hey, these demons don't seem to be coming for Fusheng Town."
Those dozens of demon species are now running towards the mountain peak ahead!
"Their target is the envoy!" Empress Shiji exclaimed.
Chen Shi stood in front of King Yushu Lingguan Huo Mansion and saw a deep courtyard. In the middle of the yard stood a golden pagoda with 12 floors and a height of 16 to 70 feet, but without doors or windows. When you look closer, it doesn't look like a tower, but like a solid magic weapon.
"It should be a golden whip, but it's too big." Chen Shi looked up at the golden whip and murmured.
The main hall of the Fire Mansion comes into view, and one shrine after another comes into view. There is a row on the left and right. The main hall is deep and extends all the way. The number of shrines on the left and right sides is five hundred in total!
"Five hundred divine statues·——"
Chen Shi suddenly felt comfortable, "Who is Wang Lingguan the doorkeeper for? Whose door needs five hundred spiritual officers?"
While speaking, he saw the central shrine. Although there were no statues of gods, there were couplets on the left and right sides.
Left side is: Lingguan Tianjiang, Taoist incarnation.
On the right is: General Jade Emperor, Yishenjun.
Chen Shi murmured: "It turned out that he was the gatekeeper for the Jade Emperor——"
