Chapter 875: Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth! The magic weapon of the God of Plague
There is a huge difference between natural disasters and man-made disasters.
Natural disasters are natural punishments. Even if you have extraordinary magical powers, you can only follow the will of God and cut off a life force, which is beyond your control.
But "man-made disasters" are different.
If this "plague" is caused by the sin god of the underworld, the plague ghost, manipulating the karma of heaven and earth disasters to cause trouble and secretly spread the plague to strengthen itself, and the natural disaster is a man-made disaster on the surface, the heavenly court of heaven can definitely kill the "plague god" and eliminate the source of the plague.
destroy.
In this way, I don't know how many innocent people and even lives can be saved.
Because of this, Chu Chen attached great importance to this matter and immediately took action to rush to the underworld to find out the truth.
It had been a month since his last trip to the underworld, and as Chu Chen's Taoism gradually deepened, he already had the magical power to travel to and from the underworld frequently.
With the [Dixin Seal] opening the way, he soon arrived at Fengduluo Mountain.
It was a coincidence that as soon as I arrived at Fengduluo Mountain, I happened to meet the ghost general I met when recruiting soldiers.
Recruiting more than 2,000 soldiers in one breath is not common. It is a big deal. Generally, this is only done when the true immortal masters of the immortal world recruit Tianding warriors.
Because of this, after a few words of greeting, a group of Yin soldiers and Yin generals invited him, the "God of Wealth", into the military camp with great enthusiasm.
Not long after, Emperor Guan's troops drove Zhou Cang over. When they saw Chu Chen, they greeted him with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, I heard that you are looking for my general. Could it be that you are here to recruit troops again?"
"Pindao has limited financial resources. How can he afford to raise so many soldiers and horses?"
While talking, the two of them sat down in the room to chat.
Chu Chen had something in mind, so he didn't beat around the bush and said:
"To be honest, I have something to ask General Zhou for help this time."
Zhou Cang was not surprised. He was just joking about recruiting soldiers. He had already guessed that it was something else, so he laughed loudly and said cheerfully:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, if you have anything to say, just ask."
Chu Chen nodded slightly, and without any ink at the moment, he told the whole story about the plague that had occurred in the Dachang Dynasty.
"What?!"
Zhou Cang originally looked calm, but after hearing Chu Chen's explanation, he was suddenly shocked:
"Is this serious?"
"I'm not sure, but I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case. I'm here to ask General Zhou for advice."
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he thought for a while and added:
"My family has heard that the fairy boy has the gift of [Mediating Disasters] and is very sensitive to the energy of disasters. He said that the guards at Guimen Gate are in danger of approaching disaster. I am afraid it is not groundless."
Zhou Cang was stunned when he heard this. He naturally understood the ear-reporting fairy boy.
[Mediating Disasters] and [Blessings from Heaven and Man] (Blessings from Heaven and Man) are the two most superior natal magical powers of the Fairy Boy who reports blessings and misfortunes. They have magical powers to mediate blessings and misfortunes. One is good and the other is misfortune, which is extraordinary.
A fairy boy with the magical power of [Mediating Disasters] is very trustworthy.
When Zhou Cang heard this, he knew it in his heart and looked quite ugly:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, I'm afraid this matter is not simple. I'll go and inquire about it. Please wait here."
After saying that, Zhou Cang disappeared in a flash.
About a cup of tea later, the breeze blew in the house, and the black Qi billowed in. Zhou Cang left and came back again.
However, Zhou Cang was not the only one who came back. The leader was Marshal Fengdu Langlingguan and a powerful god with a helmet and armor, a battle robe, a whip, a black face and a thick beard.
This great god stands side by side with Marshal Fengdulang Lingguan, with similar status.
Behind him, there was a black tiger.
As an authentic Xuanmen sect, Chu Chen recognized the origin of this venerable god at a glance, and immediately stood up and bowed his hands in salute:
"Disciple Chu Chen, I have met Marshal Guan and Marshal Zhao!"
The person who came was none other than Marshal Zhao from Black Tiger Xuan Tan and Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth.
The great god Zhao Gongming has many responsibilities. In addition to being in charge of the world's financial resources and being the god of wealth in the three realms, he is also the protector of the Ministry of Thunder and one of the five gods of plague.
According to legend, Zhao Gongming was originally the spirit of the sun. In ancient times, ten days appeared in the sky, and the emperor ordered Yi to shoot down nine days. After the nine days were shot down by Hou Yi, he transformed into nine birds, landed on Qingcheng Mountain, and became the Nine Ghost King.
These nine-day ghost kings are originally innate spirits, the essence of the sun. After being killed and turned into ghosts, their evil spirits soared to the sky, and they were born with the ability to carry out plague services. Among them, the eight-day ghost kings frequently caused plague attacks and wreaked havoc on one party.
Only Zhao Gongming turned into a human being, hid in Shu, and devoted himself to cultivation.
In the process, he met Zhang Tianshi who was practicing alchemy in Qingcheng Mountain Cave, and was subdued by Tianshi to protect the alchemy room.
After the elixir was completed, the Heavenly Master gave him the elixir, and Zhao Gongming took the bait. His magic power greatly increased, and his magical powers changed endlessly. The Heavenly Master also asked him to protect the Xuan Altar, so he was called the "Marshal of the Xuan Altar".
After the Heavenly Master ascended to heaven, he recommended to the Heavenly Court that he named Marshal Zhao the "Marshal of Thunder" and commanded the plague. Later, he took over the authority of the God of Wealth and became the Righteous God of Wealth in the Three Realms, in charge of the world's financial resources.
In other words, the true profession of the great god Zhao Gongming is not the God of Wealth or the Great God of Thunder, but the "God of Plague", which is the innate magical power he was born with.
When he saw Zhao Gongming, Chu Chen had a vague idea.
Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Gongming, who came in a hurry, spoke first and asked:
"No need to be polite, little friend Chu. Can I lend you some of your natal magic power?"
Chu Chen was stunned and immediately did not refuse. He stretched out his hand, and lightning burst out from his palm, turning into a thunder ball and passing through.
Zhao Gongming stretched out his hand to take it, looked at the seal talisman, and blew a breath.
Immediately, the thunderball disappeared.
When Chu Chen saw this, he immediately understood that Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, was using his magic power to send his incarnation to spy on the plague situation in the Dachang Dynasty.
Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, Marshal Zhao, as the God of Plague, can tell at a glance.
After about a pile of incense.
After some investigation, Zhao Gongming, who had a calm look on his face, now looked angry and looked very ugly.
Emperor Guan Sheng and Zhao Gongming were both gods of the underworld, generals of thunder, and gods of wealth. They had worked together for many years and had a close relationship. Seeing that the situation seemed not good, they curiously asked:
"Brother Zhao, how is the situation?"
Zhao Gongming sighed and said:
"Young friend Chu really got it right. It was a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster!"
After saying that, Zhao Gongming looked depressed and said again:
"I just contacted the Five Directions Plague God's Mansion for an inventory, and then I learned that a magic weapon was stolen from my house..."
Chu Chen listened to the conversation between the two great gods. Not knowing the cause and effect, he was confused for a while.
Just as he was about to ask, Zhou Cang's spiritual consciousness on the side conveyed the truth and told the truth about the cause and consequences of the matter.
It turns out that this matter started a few years ago.
A few years ago, the subordinates of the Five Plague Gods were ordered to go to a lower world to carry out plague services and impose heavenly punishment. During this period, a group of plague ghosts left their posts without authorization and traveled around the world. By chance, they accidentally entered a
The cave where the strong man sits.
The owner of the cave is called "Ancestor Tianwen". He is a great demon with amazing talent and beauty. He created his own superior magic technique [Tianwen Divine Art] and practiced it to the third level. He is only one step away from becoming a demon. But in the end
If your efforts fall short, your body will die and your path will disappear.
The ancestor of Tianwen died, but his self-created top-notch magic skill "Tianwen Divine Skill" has been passed down. By practicing this magic skill, you can spread the plague, as long as there are living beings who die under his plague energy.
If you lower it, you can improve your skill and even condense the "Plague Pill" to achieve enlightenment.
This "power of the Plague Pill" is originally the method of "the God of Plague attains the Tao".
However, in the Three Realms, this is a "forbidden technique".
The natural punishment of "disasters" sent down by heaven and earth is essentially a "transformation of calamities", and it is in compliance with the will of God to avoid the accumulation of calamities and "dredging" guidance.
But the demons who practice the "Plague Pill Method" are different. They purely do it to plunder living beings and improve their own skills.
From the heavens to the underworld, it is strictly forbidden for any god to practice privately, so as to prevent some plague gods and ghosts from spreading plague wantonly for their own selfish purposes and destroying all living beings.
Even in the Five Directions God of Plague Palace, except for Zhao Gongming and other chief gods of the plague department, there are other "gods of plague" and "plague ghost generals and soldiers" compiled by the eight classics.
, the magical power to activate the plague to bring disaster, the disaster itself will not be of any benefit to them.
After those plague ghosts obtained the "Sky Plague Divine Art", although they knew it was a forbidden method, they could not resist the temptation of "the method of attaining the Tao". They all practiced this "Sky Plague Divine Art" and then followed the order.
The errand of disaster relief, crazily improves one’s skills.
There are no walls that are airtight.
The news that these plague ghosts secretly practiced the plague elixir method leaked out a few days ago, causing the heaven and earth to be outraged.

This was the scene where Zhou Cang helped the friendly forces capture the accomplices of the Plague Ghost a month ago.
After hearing Zhou Cang's explanation, Chu Chen suddenly realized and asked:
"Didn't I say that all the plague ghost's followers were wiped out before? Where did this one come from?"
"They did kill them all. Whether they were the originals or their clones, they all captured and returned, except for one person."
Zhao Gongming said in a deep voice:
"He is Guo Liang, the ghost general in my palace. This man is very deep in the city. He must have had evil intentions for a long time. In his early years, he secretly practiced the clever method of clones, turned into a ghost general, and infiltrated into the army of Hades. No one knew about it.
He has such a clone, he has practiced secretly for many years, and his Taoism is quite good."
"This guy is quite smart and doesn't trust his comrades. He thinks that everyone will do something bad sooner or later, so he should be careful. When the incident was revealed, he had anticipated it and stole the magic weapon of the plague department sealed in the commander's treasury in advance, and secretly gave it to
Take refuge in a clone."
"After I was executed, Guo Liang used his clone to avoid the limelight, and then bribed the guards of the Ghost Gate to facilitate his escape from the underworld with the magic weapon of the Ministry of Plague..."
Zhao Gongming spied on the Dachang Dynasty and found out that the person responsible for the plague was one of his generals. After a little extrapolation, he quickly restored the truth of the matter.
Although it may not be completely consistent, I think the truth of the matter is close to ten.
"The Guimen Pass defenders have become more and more outrageous in recent years."
Marshal Danfeng of Fengdulang Lingguan's eyes twitched and he became filled with murderous intent.
When Chu Chen saw this, his heart trembled.
The guards at Guimen Pass are probably dead. As one of the nine marshals of Fengdu under Emperor Fengdu, Guan Shuai said a word, and there would be heads rolling in front of Guimen Pass and rivers of blood flowing.
Good guy, the little devil's omen has completely come true.
The most important thing is that the little devil's [Mediating Disaster] really accelerated their death, making them more like the God of Plague than the God of Plague.
However, Chu Chen is not interested in the fate of Guimenguan. He is only concerned about the plague in the eight southwest states.
Then Guo Liang stole the magic weapon of the Ministry of Plague and secretly caused a natural disaster. The disaster had already happened. What was more important was how to clean up the situation to prevent all living beings from suffering unreasonable disasters.
So, Chu Chen bowed his hands and asked for advice:
"Marshal Zhao, I wonder if the plague in our Dachang world can be undone, and whether there is room for change."
"this..."
Zhao Gongming looked ashamed, sighed and said:
"I just saw it. Guo Liang used the magic weapon of the god of plague to trigger a catastrophe in the world, which turned into a disaster. The climate has become a disaster, and there is no way to save it. Even if the plague is to be suppressed, it will require the exhaustion of God's will to stop the plague.
disaster."
Chu Chen's heart sank when he heard this.
The magic weapon of the Plague Department is the plague god under the command of the Five Plague Gods. It is the exclusive magic weapon of the plague ghost. It carries out plagues under the orders of the Emperor of Heaven on weekdays. It contains the "authority of the plague god" and is the real plague god magic weapon.
Therefore, the God of Sin, Guo Liang, can launch a "natural disaster" out of thin air.
Normally, the generals under the Five Plague Mansion would not dare to cause disasters privately and indiscriminately. They would not even dare to make their own decisions regarding the size of the disaster.
Wherever the plague is spread, regardless of the scale of the plague, we strictly follow the orders. If there is any mistake and violates the Jade Emperor's decree, it is a violation of heaven's rules and is a serious crime of beheading.
In addition, the large and small plague gods under the Five Plague God's Mansion have no benefit in spreading plague, and they have no motive to cause disasters indiscriminately.
The God of Plague, Guo Liang, was different. He practiced the [Heavenly Plague Divine Art] and rebelled against heaven and earth. He was not afraid of violating the laws of heaven. He was lawless and had no scruples anymore.
If he is not cut off in time, Guo Liang may soon become a powerful person, condense the plague pill, and become an extremely terrifying plague demon.
The supernatural powers of Guo Liang, the God of Sin, are naturally not enough to be seen in heaven and earth, but when they are exiled to the human world, the situation becomes much more troublesome.
Guo Liang was not a true immortal who attained Taoism, but rebelled from the Heavenly Court and the Underworld. After being dismissed from his position as a divine missionary, he was just an ordinary third-grade monk. It was not difficult to enter the world of Dachang, but it was difficult to chase him in the Heavenly Court and the Underworld.
Everyone in the hall understood the seriousness of the consequences, looked solemn, and frowned slightly.
Marshal Guan pondered and asked curiously:
"Brother Zhao, I wonder which plague god's magic weapon Guo Liang stole?"
"More than one!"
Zhao Gongming smiled bitterly:
"Guo Liang is not only my subordinate to carry out the plague, but he is also one of the chief clerks in charge of the warehouse of the Autumn Plague God's Mansion. He is in charge of some of the plague god's magic weapons. Taking advantage of his position, he stole three magic weapons, the twin swords to spread the plague and stop the plague.
Wenhuang bell, Fazao flag."
Speaking of this, Marshal Zhao looked quite ugly.
"These three magic weapons, [Double Swords to Dispel and Stop Plague] are the top magic weapons for nurturing the [Divine Fetus], and the other two magic weapons [Wenhuang Bell] and [Fa Zao Banner] are both transformation magic weapons. This time, he brazenly
By activating the plague, not only will his skill greatly increase, but the magic weapon of the God of Plague in his hand will also undergo transformation."
Chu Chen was shocked when he heard this.
No wonder Guo Liang can unleash the plague, he actually has the top magic weapon to give birth to the [Divine Fetus].
There are four levels of magic weapons: spiritual seed, transformation, divine fetus, and transformation.
The [Double Swords to Spread and Stop Plague] is at the same level as the [Swallowing Demon Gourd] of the Red Dragon Ancestor. Moreover, it contains the authority of the God of Plague and has the magical power to initiate natural disasters. Its destructive power is much greater than the [Swallowing Demon Gourd].
Obviously, things were more difficult than Chu Chen imagined.
On the other side, the God of Plague Zhao Gongming looked even more ugly.
After all, Guo Liang is a member of his Qiuwen Divine Mansion. If the disaster becomes too big, he won't be able to live with it.
After thinking about this, Zhao Gongming's eyes fell on Chu Chen, with a look of joy on his face.
"Little friend Chu, I accept your kindness this time, and you will be rewarded heavily afterwards!"
