When setting off from Qingzhou, Chu Chen thought that the trip to the imperial capital would not have any twists and turns.
It was nothing more than where he would be transferred after watching the enthronement ceremony.
Even if he doesn't recover, it's not a big deal.
After all, he has the inner-refiner generals [Marshal Guan] and [Tao Tianjun] working for him to practice his martial arts, so he is not in a hurry to take up a post in the Immortal Court.
But what people never expected was that the always peaceful place was showing signs of disaster.
All the little devils knew that the matter was serious, so Chu Chen naturally did not dare to take it lightly. Immediately, the power of his soul was unleashed, and the magic power in his body rolled. He stretched out his hand to explore, and the qi turned into a giant palm, and the thin "bloody remaining clouds" invisible to the naked eye in the sea of clouds were
"Wrap them all up and take them in the palm of your hand.
The "blood cloud" is not a concrete thing, but the true meaning of the disaster, and only powerful spiritual consciousness can see and restrain it.
After some casting, Chu Chen finally gathered the "blood cloud" and condensed it into ten scarlet blood beads covered with bloodshot eyes.
Song Jian could not see it with his spiritual consciousness just now, but now he saw it and said quickly:
"No matter what, this is what we encountered."
"Hmm~"
Chu Chen nodded slightly and was about to put it into the elixir bottle and seal it. The little kid beside him was eager to give it a try:
"Brother, give me one to taste."
Song Jian remembered the scene where the people on the same boat sucked blood and turned into monsters. He was shocked and said quickly:
"You can't do that. This thing is the source of disaster. You don't want to eat it!"
The little kid knew Song Jian, he laughed and said:
"Senior Brother Song, you should treat each other with admiration after three days of separation. I am no longer the little kid I used to be. I am Grandpa Calamity!"
The little devil had his hands on his hips, looking very arrogant.
When Chu Chen saw this, he pondered for a moment, and finally chose to believe in the little ghost. He wrapped a scarlet blood bead in the power and handed it to the little ghost.
As a fairy child, I always do things without thinking and rely entirely on intuition.
However, their first instinct often reveals the secrets of the universe and sees the root cause through illusions.
The little devil felt that there was no danger. Apparently, his magical power of [Mediating Disasters] was unique in this aspect.
"Bliss!"
The little devil didn't just say it casually. He opened his small mouth, divided five into two, and swallowed a scarlet blood drop into his belly.
For a moment, Chu Chen and Song Jian looked at the little kid, quite nervous.
"Little devil, how are you?"
"Hiccup~"
The little kid burped and smiled sheepishly: "Brother, I ate too fast and didn't taste anything."
Chu Chen, Hu Dali, Song Jian: "."
Just when the two of them were about to say something, the smile on the little kid's face faded, and he immediately fell asleep on his side. He fell into a deep sleep, with his magic power surging, as if he was refining blood beads through martial arts.
When the two of them saw this, they didn't dare to delay and waited silently for the little devil to be refined.
After about half a stick of incense.
The little kid woke up suddenly, vomited out "blood beads", and kept saying "bah bah bah", as if he had swallowed dirty things, and he was very disgusted.
Chu Chen remained calm: "Little devil, are you okay?"
The little kid had a gloomy look on his face, but he was in good spirits: "Senior brother, I mediate disasters. Disasters don't happen to me, and they can't hurt me."
Chu Chen nodded slightly:
"Little devil, maybe you can tell whether this blood cloud is an accidental disaster or a man-made disaster deliberately planned by someone?"
"It's a man-made disaster!"
The little devil's tone was quite firm, and then he said: "Senior brother, someone manipulated the energy of disaster and used the power of evil energy, tides and natural disasters to use great magical powers to create [Blood Cloud and Blood Rain]. There is a demon inside, and they have been chasing me for a long time. Okay.
They are too weak."
Chu Chen frowned slightly, feeling bad.
If the blood cloud was man-made, then the matter would be even more serious.
Moreover, the blood cloud that Song Jian encountered was not an isolated case, and it is very likely that it would also occur in other places.
Immediately, Chu Chen looked up at the sky, without looking back, and asked: "Little devil, what did you see?"
The little kid raised his head and said without thinking too much:
"Senior brother, I can vaguely see the faint energy of disaster everywhere in the world. The area is very large. I estimate that most of the Central Province is included in it."
Chu Chen fell silent.
Even Song Jian, who had a zombie face and rarely expressed any expression, frowned deeply.
They thought it was just an accidental case of evil spirits causing trouble, which might threaten the Blood Rain precipitation area, but they never expected that the matter was more serious than they imagined.
If a big demon deliberately stirs up trouble, the turmoil it would cause would be terrifying.
"It doesn't matter, why don't you go see how the people nearby are doing?"
At this time, Song Jian continued to call him "Du Guan", just like when he was dealing with the affairs of demons and gods in Yunlin County, he only followed his lead.
"good!"
Chu Chen nodded and accepted it. Before reporting the matter to Xianting, he had to investigate in advance.
So the two of them disguised themselves as wandering Taoists and rushed to several nearby villages to drive away evil spirits and eliminate disasters.
Half an hour later.
Chu Chen and Song Jian left the last village with serious expressions.
They came to the village under the pretext of "eliminating disasters and praying for blessings." This was not just an excuse. They really wanted to see if they could eliminate disasters for the people and nip the danger in the bud.
However, regrettably, it backfired.
The two specially called in the villagers who had been exposed to rain today for a detailed inspection.
Neither Song Jian nor Chu Chen, who has entered the realm of great supernatural powers and has strong spiritual consciousness, could see the "power of blood mist" in the villagers in the rain, let alone use any means to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate disasters.
The little guy was extremely determined.
Every villager who has been exposed to the rain has the same kind of calamity in them, but it has not yet erupted. Once it does, it will be different.
After learning about this situation, Chu Chen did not dare to underestimate it, so he used magical powers such as the [Golden Light Divine Spell] and the [Three Light Divine Talisman] to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate disasters.
However, everything failed to work and returned in vain.
"Don't worry, although the bodies of the villagers who have been exposed to the rain are no different, their spirits are much worse than those of ordinary villagers. There must be quite a lot of hidden dangers, even..."
Song Jian didn't say everything, but Chu Chen and Hu Dali, who were present, understood in their hearts.
Needless to say, the little ghost boy "Tiekou" approved it, and the people who got caught in the rain died miserably, and their subsequent fortunes will definitely be bad.
Perhaps, those disaster-ridden villagers in the rain will be like the people on the flying boat that Song Jian rode on, turning into ferocious-looking monsters that do not distinguish between friends and foes, and are bloodthirsty and brutal monsters.
At that time, it will be a demonic disaster, but it just hasn't broken out yet.
Several people in a village turned into monsters. If the land god was negligent and took a nap, all the people who used to worship him might have been wiped out.
"Pindao will report this matter to Immortal Court immediately. There is no need to worry about it. Immortal Court experts will take action later."
Song Jian and Hu Dali nodded slightly and took a step back, as if they were protecting Chu Chen.
After some investigation, Chu Chen had an idea of the seriousness of the matter. He immediately took out the [Kyushu Supervision Order] from the Immortal Palace of the Bracelet, lit incense, and planned to report the matter to the Immortal Court.
Of course, this matter was of great importance, so this time he did not contact the local prefectural and county ghosts and gods department, but directly reported it to Mr. Ming Jing.
Mr. Mingjing himself is also a monk with great supernatural powers. He is distracted from dealing with the affairs of the Celestial Court. With Chu Chen's current conduct and rank, he can reach the Celestial Court at any time.
However, perhaps the enthronement ceremony is coming soon, and Mr. Ming Jing is preparing to take over the sacred weapon of the country. He is unable to be distracted, and there is no response after calling him for a long time.
"Forget it, I can't contact Mr. Ming Jing, then contact Senior Yulou!"
Chu Chen didn't know many important people in the imperial capital, only two, one was Mr. Mingjing and the other was Master Yulou.
Both of them are at the highest level of the Celestial Court, and no matter who they report to, they are the same.
Not long after.
In the small cloud of incense, the immortal Yulou master sat cross-legged on the cloud bed, smiling and said:
"Ling Xiao, you didn't come to see me when you came to Zhongzhou, but did you meet someone outside?"
As he spoke, Master Yulou looked at Chu Chen with admiration in his eyes. He was very optimistic about Chu Chen from the beginning, thinking that he would have great potential in the future and would make great achievements in the path of alchemy and immortality, so he gave him cultivation and high hopes.
However, he did not expect that Chu Chen would grow so fast.
In just a few years, he has become a monk with great supernatural powers, almost catching up with his apprentice.
Chong Louhao also said that after all, he has a strong cultivation base and it will not be easy to catch up, but his young apprentice Han Chen may be caught up by Chu Chen soon.
His talent is so high that even Master Yulou, who has seen the world, is amazed.
Chu Chen shook his head and said seriously: "Senior Yulou, something big has happened."
Hearing this, Master Yulou looked strange, looked Chu Chen up and down, and said:
"Ling Xiao, you didn't kill another dragon, did you? Will this be the prince of the East China Sea Dragon Palace or the prince of the West Sea Dragon Palace?"
Chu Chen was speechless in his heart, and he immediately told the story of his encounter with Song Jian when he was on the road in Zhongzhou.
When Master Yulou heard that it was a demon causing trouble, he suddenly realized and said:
"It turns out that this is what you are talking about. I have heard about it recently. Several counties and counties have reported it to the Ghost and God Department. It is just a demon causing trouble. This matter is inevitable in every enthronement ceremony. There is no need to worry about it."
Seeing that Master Yulou didn't pay attention to it, Chu Chen quickly said:
"Senior Yulou, this matter is not trivial. According to the fairy boy who reported to me, the blood cloud not only threatens the monks, but will also turn into rain and fall down to attack ordinary people, causing them to be plagued by disasters. It may even turn ordinary people into
Monster."
Originally, Master Yulou was still a little careless.
There were several cases in various places in Zhongzhou where blood clouds polluted monks and caused people to become possessed. However, they did not attract much attention. After all, the influence was limited. The Immortal Court took action in time. Those monks who were infected by blood clouds and blood mist could not cause them to become possessed.
What harm.
However, when he heard that the "blood cloud" would turn into blood rain and infect the people, Master Yulou frowned:
"Ling Xiao, I have seen it with several Taoist friends. The power of the blood mist is the true intention of the inner demon. It is a threat to practitioners but not to ordinary people. I wonder where your statement comes from?"
Chu Chen also knew about this.
I heard from Song Jian that all the monks on the flying boat were affected by the blood mist, except for a few mortal boys.
To a certain extent, Master Yulou and other immortal court masters have sharp eyesight and know more about the "power of blood mist" than he does.
However, he has full trust in the little ghost boy. Over the years, the little ghost boy has basically never failed to deal with the "bad omen".
"Senior Yulou, my family heard from the fairy boy that the demon who created the power of blood mist can control the power of disaster and use the natural disaster [Evil Qi Tide] to trigger disasters."
Chu Chen only said half a sentence and did not specify anything.
However, Master Yulou on the cloud bed turned pale with astonishment and lost his calmness just now.
After exclaiming.
Master Yulou realized something, looked hurriedly, and made calculations repeatedly.
Twenty breaths later.
"You have heard that the fairy boy has good eyesight, but you were careless. The other party actually used the natural disaster [Evil Qi Tide] and cooperated with it skillfully to cause disaster."
Master Yulou's face became very ugly. After some deductions, he was now sure that what Chu Chen said was probably true.
The common people who have suffered from the blood rain will not have any accidents for a while, but once the tide of evil Qi breaks out, the evil Qi and the turbid Qi enter the body, and the internal demons connect with the external demons, the real disaster will break out.
By then, the entire Zhongzhou will fall into chaos, and the best place in the world will be gone.
Chu Chen was not surprised that Master Yulou could roughly understand the details of the matter in just a moment.
His old man's Taoism is close to that of an immortal. Previously, he only secretly used the devil's methods secretly. Master Yulou and other immortal court bosses were not aware of it for a while. Once they knew the clues, they could naturally figure out many things by following the clues.
"Senior Yulou, I went to a nearby village to drive away evil spirits and eliminate disasters, but unfortunately I couldn't drive away the power of the blood mist in the bodies of the people who were exposed to the rain. I don't know if there are any medical experts in the fairy court."
"Well~ Xianting will arrange someone later, so you don't need to worry."
Master Yulou nodded slightly, then his eyes fell on Chu Chen, and he said with lingering fear:
"Ling Xiao, fortunately you discovered it early, otherwise the whole country might be shaken!"
Chu Chen was startled:
"Senior Yulou, you are serious."
Master Yulou shook his head: "I am not exaggerating. It is the prelude to the enthronement ceremony. If a great demon disaster breaks out in Zhongzhou and the demons dance wildly, things will be terrible. How will Emperor Lingwei explain to the heaven in the upper world? How did the previous comrades perform their merits?
Become a god?"
Master Yulou asked two questions in succession, but he was not asking Chu Chen, but asking himself.
Chu Chen was not a dull person. When he heard Master Yulou's words, he vaguely guessed the deep meaning behind them.
The reason why the transfer of power in the Dachang Dynasty was stable and orderly was fundamentally due to the difference in "pursuit". Whether it was Emperor Lingwei or the great men sitting in high positions in the court, what they pursued was not short-term secular power, but
Live forever and be free.
To this end, they worked hard, practiced together, and worked conscientiously for more than forty-nine years. Finally, in the last year, they fell short in the final stage. No one could bear it.
Master Yulou saw that Chu Chen was vaguely enlightened, sighed, and said through his spiritual consciousness:
"It is said that if the next Heavenly Court can withstand the [Evil Tide] natural disaster, the Heavenly Court in the upper realm will give special rewards."
Chu Chen was startled. Master Yulou said half of what he said, but he understood what he was saying.
If it were just that the next heavenly court reward would be bigger, there wouldn't be any problem. However, something happened in Zhongzhou. Emperor Lingwei and a group of "old guys" ascended to the earth and became gods, shrunk or even disappeared. Together,
Once they fall, can they accept the truth willingly?
Perhaps, there are many immortals and seniors who have cultivated extensive virtues and have great general knowledge and personal awareness, so they can accept the facts willingly.
But what if it is a huge interest group?
At that time, will there be a dangerous situation in which one mountain and two tigers fight, and the mountains and rivers tremble?
