The beams and columns are towering, and the seats are crisscrossed.
The Grand Elder of the Central Presbytery of the Immortal Courtyard, the Envoy of the Demon Academy, Taoist Chongxu sit at the main seat, Master Huixin, Xuan Fengzi and other deputy envoys of the Demon Academy, and the eight ministers sit on the left and right.
Further down, on the high platform were Chu Chen, Taoist Feilong, Konggu Shanren, and twenty other eight deputy ministers.
Under the steps were Han Chen and other elders with great supernatural powers.
The entire high-level staff of the Demon Academy gathered together at the dojo. Even if they could not come, they sent their clones, souls, and incarnations to come. The scene was extremely grand.
The ground paved with fine white jade stones was spotless, but the faces of all the immortal masters in the palace were heavy and their hearts were very uneasy.
Taoist Chongxu, the envoy of the Demon Academy, looked calm and said calmly:
"Fellow Taoists must also feel this. Yes, the news is solid. There is indeed a natural disaster coming to the eight states in our southwest. The situation is extremely urgent."
When everyone in the palace heard this, they immediately started talking, causing a small commotion.
Chu Chen was no exception. He frowned slightly and sighed in his heart. The little devil's ear teleportation was really amazing. It was really a "natural disaster".
Disasters are divided into "natural disasters" and "man-made disasters".
Needless to say, when encountering a "man-made disaster", there is always a way to deal with it if the soldiers come to block the water and the earth covers it.
However, natural disasters are different.
Natural disasters are formed by the calamity of heaven and earth. They are invisible, insubstantial, omnipresent, and impossible to prevent.
The most important thing is that "natural disasters" are born from the heaven and earth, adhering to the power of heaven's laws, representing the power of heaven, the operation of natural laws, and human power cannot compete head-on.
In the past, he was omnipotent and had unparalleled mystical powers to "fight against disasters", but he was eclipsed in the face of the mighty natural disasters.
"Great Elder, I wonder what kind of natural disaster it is?"
In the hall, a monk with great supernatural powers asked.
"This natural disaster is a plague!"
Taoist Chongxu looked filled with emotion and continued:
"The scope of this plague is not small. In addition to our eight southwest states, the surrounding demon kingdoms cannot escape the punishment of heaven. However, we should not take it lightly. There are always demons who are not afraid of death and take advantage of the muddy waters of natural disasters to make trouble. I
In addition to controlling the demonic sentiments in various places, the Demonic Academy now also needs to assist various states in expelling plague and saving people..."
Chu Chen was quite familiar with this scene.
This was not the first time he had experienced a plague. When there was a great plague in Youzhou, Wang Ping and he, who were still cultivating in Guangping Taoist Temple, rushed thousands of miles to aid Youzhou, drive away the plague and save people. The impression was so profound that it is still vivid in his mind.
Under the natural punishment of the plague, the magical power of expelling the plague and relieving the plague has lost its magical effect. However, the fifty-fifty avenue and the forty-nine derivatives still have a glimmer of hope.
Gao Xiu's cultivation of his own magic power to drive away plague and save people does not go against "God's will".
It was like this when Chu Chen rescued Youzhou, and it is like this now for the eight southwest states.
As he spoke, Taoist Chongxu began to arrange errands, assigning eight demon tribes to assist various state capitals, state ghosts and gods departments, and state city and imperial palaces to drive away the plague and save people.
Perhaps because he was from the Ghosts and Gods Division of Yunzhou, Chu Chen was assigned the task of rushing to aid Yunzhou.
After the morning meeting of the demon demons ended, Chu Chen did not delay and went straight back to the study room in the left courtyard of Libu. He summoned Wang Ping, Xuan Lingzi, Monk Yuantong, Lin Miaoyin and other deacons of the demon demons to announce the plague and convey it to them.
Chongxu Great Elder’s decree.
"We encountered another plague."
Wang Ping recalled the scene of the Great Plague in Youzhou and looked at Chu Chen, his face full of memories:
"Fortunately, now that my magic power is deep, I can save more people."
Chu Chen nodded slightly. When they expelled the plague in Youzhou and rescued people, they tried their best but failed to save everyone. Many people still died under the natural disaster.
"There is no love for natural disasters. This time we are responsible for rushing to the rescue of Yunzhou. We will give you fellow Taoists half a day to prepare and rush to Yunzhou tonight."
"yes!"
Xuan Lingzi, Monk Yuantong, Lin Miaoyin and others all handed over their hands and accepted the order.
After giving instructions to his subordinates, Chu Chen didn't waste any time and went straight back to the cave where he stayed in the Demonic Courtyard. He packed up and prepared to set out and rush back to Yunzhou.
As soon as I returned to the cave, I saw the powerful tiger transforming into a colorful tiger, holding a little boy with lotus arms and short legs on his back, with a friendly and playful look on his face.
Speaking of which, the little boy Jin Lian really liked the powerful Tiger King. He called him "Brother Hu Zi" and called Chu Chen "Sir". He also learned from the powerful Tiger King.
While they were having fun, King Dali Tiger saw Chu Chen coming back. He immediately came up to him with the little boy on his back, uttering human words.
"Sir, we are leaving the office so early today."
"Hmm~"
When Chu Chen saw King Dali Tiger playing with the little boy Jin Lian, he smiled in surprise and said:
"Huzi, I'm going out soon, and you should follow me this time."
When King Dali Tiger heard this, he was a little surprised.
Since my husband reached the realm of great supernatural powers, his job as a "mountain" has ceased. Most of the time, he can only look after the house and do the job of looking after the home and nursing home.
When he heard that his husband was going out to take him with him this time, King Dali was very excited, and even a little flattered:
"Sir, do you really want to take me out?"
"good!"
Chu Chen smiled. Under the plague, the "dispelling plague" magic power failed, and he could only rely on his own magic power to drive away the plague and save people.
The powerful tiger king is currently in the middle stage of the fifth stage of Taoism, and is not far away from the late stage. He can be regarded as a good helper. With more strength, he can save more people, and his merits are immeasurable.
"Where's the little devil?"
Chu Chen looked around, but there was no sign of the little ghost, and he suddenly became curious. In the past, the little ghost had already come to the door.
The powerful tiger king did not speak, and the little golden lotus boy on his back said with a milky voice:
"Sir, Brother Guizi is drawing pictures in the house and chanting mantras, and he won't let me touch him. He's so mysterious that I don't know what he's doing!"
Chu Chen was stunned.
Nowadays, natural disasters are raging, and the atmosphere of disasters is permeating the heaven and earth. It is the best time for the little devil with [Mediating Disasters] to show off his magical powers.
Is this kid secretly trying to bring disaster to others without telling me?
Chu Chen had a vague realization in his heart and used his escape technique. His body swayed and disappeared into the garden outside the cave.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived outside the courtyard of the little ghost's training room. Sure enough, he saw a little ghost sitting on the stone steps under the eaves, kicking his little feet.
In one hand is the [Book of Disasters and Tribulations], and in the other hand is the [Magic Pen of Disasters and Tribulations]. While the pens are running wildly, they are also reciting words:
"There are a lot of calamities, lead them here, lead them here, gather them all for you, quack quack~ let you embarrass my senior brother!"
"Five hundred thousand! Five hundred thousand! Five hundred thousand..."
"Little devil, what are you talking about five hundred thousand? Tell me about it?"
"ah!"
The little ghost boy jumped three feet high like a cat that had stepped on its tail. He was so frightened that the magic book and magic pen in his hands flew out.
When Chu Chen saw the little ghost boy showing a guilty conscience, he immediately frowned and said displeasedly:
"Little devil, who are you bringing disaster to?"
"Hey hey hey~"
The little kid obeyed and kept retreating. Finally, he hit a pillar and had no way to retreat. In the end, he had to giggle and behave, trying to get through.
"Are you bringing disaster to the gatekeeper of the underworld?"
In fact, when Chu Chen heard "five hundred thousand", he knew it.
Who else is not an enemy in the near future and is related to "500,000" besides the guards at Guimenguan.
For a moment, Chu Chen felt bad.
The gate of hell is the realm of life and death, the gate of yin and yang.
The garrison of Guimen Pass is slightly inferior to that of Nantianmen, but it is still one of the most important places in the Three Realms.
Not to mention the Guimen Pass guard generals, just the several Guimen Pass guard generals that Chu Chen came into contact with were all third-grade Hades generals, with high military strength and great magical powers.
Even if the immortal figures in heaven and earth have not become immortals, they are still true gods and earthly beings, and no one dares to underestimate their magical powers.
The little ghost uses the magical power of [Mediating Disasters] to bring disasters to others. If someone discovers it, he will be in trouble if he wants to recruit soldiers from the underworld in the future.
"Bastard thing!"
Chu Chen was furious. At this moment, he finally understood the reason why Master Xu Ping was so "irritable". The little devil was indeed very "skinny" sometimes and he couldn't do it without beating him.
He warned the kid more than once not to abuse his magical powers. The kid's left ear went in and the right ear came out. The scar healed and he forgot about the pain.
At this thought, Chu Chen, who had always been gentle, couldn't help it anymore. He rolled up his sleeves and taught the "naughty kid" a lesson, including the smoking one!
"Brother, what do you want to do!"
When the little kid saw his senior brother doing his signature move, he was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly:
"Senior brother, listen to my quibbles, no, listen to my explanation..."
Chu Chen said with a cold face:
"Explain what?"
Seeing that his senior brother had calmed down, the little kid breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly:
"Senior Brother, it's not that I used my magical powers to trick them, it's the black and black energy of disaster above their heads. A catastrophe is imminent, the situation is doomed, and there is basically no room for turning around. I am idle and bored, so I help them gather the energy of disaster.
So that they can die faster..."
"What!"
Chu Chen interrupted the kid's forced sophistry and focused on the "death situation" with a look of surprise on his face:
"You said that they are going to die in a big disaster and will definitely die? Are you serious, are you not lying just to make excuses?"
"Hmm~"
The kid nodded heavily: "Senior brother, I am honest and I never lie, especially if it is related to retribution for good fortune or misfortune. If I lie, my magical power of omens will not be allowed."
Chu Chen nodded slightly, he believed this.
In daily life, the little devil may be a little clever in trivial matters, but he can always report good fortune and misfortune. He usually says whatever is on his mind and never lies. This is an instinct engraved deep in his soul.
Then, the problem comes.
If the little devil's omens are correct, then things will be extraordinary.
Chu Chen has dealt with three ghost gate guards one after another. They are all third-grade priests of the underworld who are immortal and live as long as heaven.
As the gods of heaven and earth, guarding the gate of hell, they want to die, and it is not easy to die suddenly together.
For example, there was a great god who forced his way into the underworld and swept through the gates of hell. Several guards at the gates of hell were performing their duties loyally, but were killed by the great god on the spot. Their souls were scattered, and their true souls were extinguished...
It's possible, but the chances are slim.
After all, there are very few such arrogant and arrogant people. Who would dare to randomly break into Nantian Gate and Ghost Gate and kill the guards.
If he hadn't been killed by someone, he would have lived forever and lived as long as the sky, and the guardian of the ghost gate would have wanted to die. Then there was only one possibility - he had violated the laws of heaven and ghosts.
In front of Tian Tiao Gui Lv, except for those who have become immortals and have profound backgrounds, they can test him back and forth. Ordinary gods and earthlings would not dare to step into the thunder pool. After all, there are too many people staring at his divine position.
If you don't do it, there will be people to take your place.
Once any ordinary person violates the rules of heaven and commits a serious crime, he will inevitably die.
"They violated the laws of nature and ghosts?!"
Chu Chen murmured to himself, feeling shocked and confused.
However, for a moment, he thought of something and was shocked.
Recalling the experience of Guimen Pass, he remembered that when the Guimen Gate guard stayed to investigate the two thousand Fengdu Yin soldiers he recruited, the reason given to him was to screen for "plague ghosts".
Originally, he didn't care.
However, at present, there was a plague in eight states in the southwest, and he heard a warning from a little devil that the gatekeepers of the ghost gate would be in trouble. Many coincidences were added together, and he had a flash of inspiration:
"Could it be that the plague in the eight southwest states is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster?"
In the eyes of many people, the "God of Plague" is an ominous sign and everyone is taboo about it. However, in heaven and earth, the "God of Plague" is a serious deity.
There are five plague gods in heaven and earth who govern plagues. They are called five ghosts in heaven and five plagues on earth. They are called the five plagues and are also called the messengers of the five plagues.
They are Zhang Yuanbo in the spring plague, Liu Yuanda in the summer plague, Zhao Gongming in the autumn plague, Zhong Shigui in the winter plague, and Shi Wenye, the general manager of the plague in the middle.
The "Five Plague Gods" with their official positions are not the "evil gods" as others call them, but the commanders of the Plague Gods who carry out plagues in the name of the Emperor of Heaven. He has 250,000 ghosts and ghosts with five wounds under his command.
The plague has great magical powers.
If in a certain world or place, times are depleted, people's hearts are destroyed, emotions are mixed, and disasters arise, the god of plague will follow the emperor's decree and comply with the will of heaven, carry out plague services, and initiate heavenly punishment.
In other words, the god of plague in the Zhengerba Classic has the magical power of "heavenly punishment".
Chu Chen was shocked, and the more he thought about it, the more strange things seemed.
Although Zhou Cang, the general of Emperor Guan, did not tell him much about the plague ghosts in the underworld, he called the plague ghosts "rebellious and rebellious". This means that the plague ghosts were originally the "gods of plague" in the classics and had the power to transform disasters.
The great supernatural power for natural disasters and "plagues".
"Could it be that some remnants of the plague ghost escaped to our world?"
In their world, the Jedi Tiantong and Dachang Celestial Dynasty are self-governing. Neither heaven nor the underworld can interfere easily. This is undoubtedly the best place of refuge for many rebellious gods in heaven and underworld.
The last time, the Nine-Headed Lion Under the Corpse God had fled to their world to take refuge. Taiyi was not able to come in person to rescue Ku Tianzun. Instead, he issued a decree and asked Dachang Immortal Court to come forward to arrest him.
It can be seen from this that it is general.
Thinking of this, the more Chu Chen thought about it, the more he felt that things were not simple.
From the fact that he spent 500,000 jade to get the guard of Guimen Gate to let him out, it can be seen that the water in Guimen Gate is very deep, and this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing.
Chu Chen had all the formalities and documents in place. They just wanted to make money and provide convenience to others. It was nothing serious, so they just treated Chu Chen as inviting them to drink. It was no big deal.
But if you often walk by the river, your shoes won't get wet.
Once certain things become inertial, their degree of corruption will inevitably be unsightly.
"Good fellow, the remnants of the plague ghost really let these ghost gate guards escape, right?"
Chu Chen murmured to himself.
"Brother, what are you talking about?"
The little guy was obsequious and had a flattering look on his face:
"Can you please stop hitting me? I really know I was wrong. I won't add insult to injury next time someone dies. I won't dare to do it again..."
"Senior brother, if I don't hit you, little devil, you have done a good job."
Chu Chen heard the little ghost begging for mercy, laughed loudly, took out a handful of incense from the Immortal Mansion of the Bracelet, and handed it to the little ghost.
"Ah~ I have made a meritorious service?"
The surprise came so suddenly that the kid couldn't believe it. He thought his senior brother was being sarcastic and didn't dare to pick up Lingxiang:
"Senior brother, I really know I was wrong, you should hit me, hit me gently, I'm afraid of pain!"
