Chapter 281: Zhennan Hou's Shock
"Ksitigarbha?"
The tower spirit, no, the sturdy bald man who should be called Ksitigarbha now whispered.
With the help of Shen Yuan, Ksitigarbha finally got rid of the influence of the Eighteen Hells and the strange breath, completed the last step of shaping his body, and successfully made himself have a physical body.
This physical body is strong and tall, without a single hair on his head. The power of incense and Shintoism given by Shen Yuan is affected by the mixed wishes from the Eighteen Hells, and turned into a Zen robe with golden and red colors.
From the outside, Ksitigarbha at this moment is completely like a monk, but there is no Zen and Buddha nature in him. The precipitation in that strong body is a wisp of Xuanhuang Qi that can collapse a mountain, and such Xuanhuang Qi is even more difficult to count in Ksitigarbha's body.
At this moment, Ksitigarbha can easily fight a great real person in the Return to Void Realm with only the strength of his physical body, and his strength is no less than that of the Luofeng Six Heavenly Gods in the outside world.
Feeling the powerful force in his body, as well as the power of the incense and fire that lingered around him and suppressed the evil spirits and strange auras in the eighteen layers of hell, Dizang's eyes were full of joy.
At this time, he no longer needed to worry about the erosion of strange auras and the influence of evil spirits in a short period of time.
And the power of the incense and fire that he bore came from Shen Yuan's active division rather than the conferment of the divine position, which meant that he would not be suppressed by the divine position and would have a greater growth limit in the future.
In the future, he could completely derive his divine position based on the eighteen layers of hell opened up by his own body. If the eighteen layers of hell in the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower could replace the hell in the underworld, he would have the hope of becoming a god comparable to the emperor!
After a little understanding, Dizang also turned to Shen Yuan and saluted with his hands clasped together:
"Thank you, emperor!"
Shen Yuan played a very critical role in the whole process of completing the transformation of this flesh. Just one-third of the incense and fire of the underworld was enough to attract many gods.
In addition, Shen Yuan did not choose to take the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower away but left it in the underworld to perform his own destiny, which made Dizang feel even more grateful. Although he had no divine title, he still placed himself in the position of a god.
Shen Yuan looked at Dizang in front of him, nodded with a smile and said:
"No need to be polite, this is the reward you deserve for incarnating the eighteen layers of hell to suppress the weird aura."
Paying one-third of the power of the incense and fire gods to add a foundation to the underworld is quite rewarding.
Shen Yuan naturally has his own plans for making such a large investment in Dizang.
The contract ten thousand years ago was witnessed by the Xuanhuang Realm. Even if Shen Yuan did not take the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower away, this half-step world-opening treasure was already at Shen Yuan's disposal, and Shen Yuan did not have to worry that Dizang would disobey his orders.
Consuming one-third of the power of the incense and fire gods to strengthen Dizang is also strengthening his foundation in the underworld.
Moreover, this one-third of the power of the incense and fire is not the original source. If something unexpected happens, Shen Yuan, who controls the power of driving away gods and the throne of Fengdu Emperor, can take back this part of the power of the incense and fire with just a thought.
The most important point is that Shen Yuan needs Dizang to suppress the strange breath gathered in the eighteen layers of hell for him.
In the entire Xuanhuang world, only Dizang, the spirit of the treasure of the half-step opening world, can steadily suppress the erosion of the strange breath. In addition, even the true immortals of the cave heaven and blessed land are at risk of erosion.
Shen Yuan suspects that the six reincarnations of the outside world are not just coincidences.
Behind this matter, there is a big conspiracy, and Shen Yuan must be cautious.
When Ksitigarbha heard Shen Yuan's words, his expression immediately became solemn and he said in a deep voice:
"Ksitigarbha will not let the emperor down!"
After successfully solving the matter of Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, Shen Yuan could clearly sense that the causal line that was previously perceived by the Star Number Divine Power was quietly dissipating.
The causal relationship that spanned thousands of years had been determined. With the completion of this contract, the Star Number Divine Power that had entered the third realm had made great progress again.
Standing in the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, Shen Yuan's gaze extended to the outside world, taking in the entire Fengdu City.
The chaotic underworld began to establish order again, and the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower that evolved into the eighteen layers of hell also returned to the depths of the earth under the control of Ksitigarbha.
Shen Yuan looked at everything in front of him with satisfaction, nodded slightly to Ksitigarbha, and took a step forward.
The space changed under Shen Yuan's feet, and a space channel leading directly to the outside world was opened up in the void of the core area.
Dizang stood at the back and bowed to Shen Yuan respectfully, saying:
"Farewell, Great Emperor!"
After leaving the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, Shen Yuan did not choose to stay in Fengdu City.
The turmoil in the underworld has been settled. Although he bears the title of Fengdu Great Emperor, he knows nothing about the operation of the underworld and does not want to intervene in these matters rashly.
Outside Fengdu City, there are still many things waiting for Shen Yuan to deal with.
Niu Tou, who led the ghosts and gods to guard outside the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, suddenly raised his head and looked at the figure walking in the sky, realizing that Shen Yuan was about to leave.
"Farewell, Great Emperor!"
Behind Niu Tou, the ghosts and gods also reacted immediately and praised in unison:
"Farewell, Great Emperor!"
In the many temples, palaces, pavilions and towers in Fengdu City, ghosts and gods also felt something and woke up from their slumber. The faint voice resounded throughout Fengdu City.
"Farewell, Great Emperor!"
Only a few dozen kilometers away from Fengdu City, Shen Yuan stopped walking.
As Luoshan County was promoted to the Yangshi, the realm outside Fengdu City also restored the rules of the Yangshi.
Shen Yuan could clearly feel that as he voluntarily left Fengdu City, the blessings of Emperor Fengdu's personality continued to fall like an avalanche.
The further away from Fengdu City, the weaker the personal blessing of Emperor Fengdu becomes. After dozens of miles, the body of Emperor Fengdu cannot even be manifested, and the incomplete person of Emperor Fengdu can only be borrowed when using the Exorcism Order.
The only thing that Shen Yuan is thankful for is that there is no change in the second level's supernatural powers of expelling gods and connecting with ghosts. Compared with before Shen Yuan came to Fengdu City, his strength has been greatly improved.
Looking around, the underworld environment dissipated, and the ghosts were banished into the underworld by Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan walked on the road and found no trace of ghosts.
After walking along the road for several hundred meters, Shen Yuan suddenly moved slightly and looked up behind him.
I saw a large truck running at high speed on the empty road.
The large truck finally stopped next to Shen Yuan. A middle-aged driver wearing a blue plaid shirt stuck his head out and looked at Shen Yuan in surprise.
"Little brother, why did you leave the city so fast?
I got the news and drove out of the county as soon as the city gate was released. I didn't expect that even this would be one step slower than you. "
Shen Yuan smiled curiously and asked the middle-aged driver:
"Luoshan County is now open to the public? Wasn't there turmoil in many places within the county before?"
When the driver heard this, a look of lingering fear appeared on his face:
“The previous turmoil in the county was caused by some obsessed fools and those ghosts.
Those evil ghosts are just that. Some idiots actually wanted to cooperate with the evil ghosts to deal with us and seek benefits. As a result, after being killed by the evil ghosts, they themselves became ghosts and caused a lot of trouble.
Thanks to the suppression of those practitioners dispatched by the Marquis of Zhennan, the stability of Luoshan County can be barely maintained. However, if this continues, the collapse of the county will be inevitable sooner or later. "
After a slight pause, the middle-aged driver's expression turned to wonder:
"This time Luoshan County was able to survive the crisis safely, thanks to the god who appeared in the sky.
The fierce ghost appeared and immediately cleaned up the inside and outside of Luoshan County, allowing the county to stabilize. "
"It's strange to say that after the god appeared, the sky that had been gloomy in Luoshan County began to become clearer, and there was no longer the cold feeling before.
Some people say that this is because the god brought Luoshan County back from the underworld, but I am afraid only a big shot like Zhennan Hou can know whether the news is true or false. "
Having said this, the middle-aged driver honked his horn and asked Shen Yuan:
"By the way, where are you going, little brother?"
"I have something to go to Luozhou."
The middle-aged driver's eyes lit up: "What a coincidence, I'm also planning to go to Luozhou."
Shen Yuan glanced at the middle-aged driver in surprise: "The driver is in such a hurry to go to Luozhou. Could it be that he just got out of trouble and is in a hurry to go home?"
"I am a native of Luoshan County. This trip to Luozhou is actually for business."
The middle-aged driver smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice:
"You don't know how excited the people in Luoshan County were after the god expelled the evil spirits.
Luoshan County is close to Fengdu, and there have been many legends about gods and ghosts since ancient times. This time, after encountering the catastrophe of the Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts, we saw the true god again. The people in Luoshan County wanted to invite the statue of the god to come home to their home. House.
But that god didn't seem to be anyone in the myth, so everyone had no way out.
I discovered a business opportunity and contacted an old sculpture factory in Luozhou half an hour ago, planning to carve a large number of statues in the image of the deity and transport them back to Luoshan County for sale.
Now the factory is stepping up production, and I went there this time to prepare to send back the first batch of goods. "
The corner of Shen Yuan's mouth twitched, with a look of dumbfounding on his face.
He didn't expect that his elimination of many evil ghosts would lead to such a follow-up, and that his statue would also become a business opportunity.
The middle-aged driver didn't pay attention to the change in Shen Yuan's expression. He never thought that the immortal young man in front of him was the god and emperor who suppressed many demons and monsters a few hours ago.
The middle-aged driver patted the car door rather boldly and said loudly:
“Now most people in Luoshan County are afraid of the outside world and dare not leave the city at will, and they may not be able to get a taxi for a while.
We are destined to meet each other. Since we are going to Luozhou, why don't you come with me, little brother? "
Shen Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. He also wanted to take this opportunity to see the changes in Taizhou.
"Thank you very much, brother driver."
The middle-aged driver waved his hand:
"They all escaped from this damn place. They just took a ride. It's just a trivial matter."
After a brief stop, the car started again and headed towards Luozhou along the empty road.
At this moment, it was only half a day before the Yinsi Rebellion subsided, and the abyssal influence it caused was gradually fermenting at this moment.
Dozens of kilometers away in Luoshan County, a luxurious honor guard slowly walked out of Luoshan County City. Eight practitioners holding bright yellow giant flags stood on both sides of the honor guard. In the center of the procession, four dragon horses dragged a luxurious car. Stand up and drive forward slowly.
While the honor guard was walking, human luck began to rise on the earth, and the desolate land that had been eroded by the underworld began to regain its vitality.
The royal guards are not just decorations, but are derived from the emperor's guards, symbolizing the great gift of the humane dynasty.
The humane aura contained in the guards can suppress evil spirits, and was originally the last trump card of Luoshan County City against evil spirits.
However, now that the danger of Luoshan County City has been eliminated, the royal guards are no longer needed to suppress evil spirits, and their original function has been restored.
Sitting in the chariot, the Marquis of Zhennan was quite nervous at the moment.
The secret order from the imperial capital was transmitted to Luoshan County City, letting him know some of the causes and consequences behind the quelling of this turmoil, which made him very fortunate.
However, the secret order also gave him a task, which was to go to Fengdu City as the prince of Daxia, welcome back the envoy of the Imperial Observatory, and establish a certain degree of contact with the underworld.
Recalling the serious tone of the secret order of Emperor Xia and the many promises made to the underworld, the Marquis of Zhennan couldn't help but tremble.
The promise included but was not limited to handing over the jurisdiction of the city gods of Taizhou, Luozhou and Yangzhou to the underworld.
Everything including the land and official appointments in Luoshan County could be handed over to Fengdu City, and the Great Xia court would only retain nominal jurisdiction.
In addition, many secret books and treasures were open to the underworld, and the strength was almost flattering.
Even when the underworld went to negotiate with the ten underworld commanders before the turmoil, no such concessions were made.
After all, this was just a promise made to establish contact with the underworld, which was enough to show the importance that the Xia emperor attached to the underworld.
Knowing the cause and effect, the Zhennan Marquis could not help but whispered absentmindedly:
"The power of the Fengdu Emperor may be far beyond my imagination."
The royal procession moved forward and finally saw the Fengdu.
Without the environment of the underworld, from the outside, Fengdu City seemed to be just an ancient city without any magical features. Only when you come to the gate of Fengdu City can you feel the grandeur of the underworld city.
In the process of moving forward, the royal guards even found that the monks who had escorted the two imperial astronomical envoys were standing here in an orderly manner.
This news was quickly reported to Zhennan Hou.
Zhennan Hou looked surprised, and before he could summon the repairman to ask, the next moment the ancient gate opened heavily.
The cold breath surged like a wave, and the land of the underworld spread in an instant, as if everyone had returned to the disordered environment of yin and yang a few hours ago.
In that quiet city, dozens of ghost generals wearing black armor and holding weapons stepped out of the city gate, and the aura around them was floating. Each of them was a strong man at the peak of the transformation realm. Without the royal guards, only one ghost general could kill all the monks present.
The ghost generals stood on both sides of the city gate, and clear footsteps sounded slowly in the dark fog.
The Zhennan Marquis in the carriage immediately realized that this was the powerful ghost in Fengdu City, and hurriedly got off the carriage to greet them.
But as two figures walked out of the fog, Zhennan Marquis widened his eyes in shock.
The two envoys, Baihu and Zhuque, were wearing white and dark red clothes respectively. The male was mighty and strong, and the female was weak and charming. Their figures seemed to blend with the entire Fengdu City. It seemed that there were two tall ghosts standing in the heavy fog and ignoring all living beings.
Just standing here, the aura around them easily suppressed the royal guards, and even the human destiny retreated a few points in front of the two.
Dozens of ghost generals standing in front of the city gate knelt on one knee, lowered their heads and praised in unison:
"Greetings to Zongling Qifei Tiangong and Gan Silian Wanlu Tiangong!"
