When I saw the corpses floating on the river, I became a little uneasy.
Although following Qiu Beidou these days, Zhuge Zhengqi has seen a bit of the world, been to the morgue, and fought against evil spirits.
However, seeing a dead body on the river so unexpectedly still made my back feel cold, and goosebumps suddenly appeared all over my body.
Being so frightened, the physical discomfort I felt just now disappeared without a trace.
I leaned close to Zhuge Zhengqi's ear, lowered my voice and said:
"Brother, what do these corpses mean? A ceremony to welcome Erlang Shen."
"Don't talk nonsense. Don't talk about these useless things before Guankou Erlang drives off."
The ugly Taoist priest immediately stopped me and then continued:
“Did you just see the clothes on the dead body?
They are all wearing robes and mandarin jackets, none of them are modern attire.
It is estimated that the youngest ones have been dead for hundreds of years.
Several waves of gods have come here before, looking for the forbidden door.
There’s no way these bodies wouldn’t have been discovered.”
Before the ugly Taoist priest could finish speaking, Yang Jian turned to look at him and then said:
"These resentful corpses were just brought here from other places.
I want to scare away the mortals who come here.”
After finishing speaking, Erlang Shen turned to Qiu Beidou and said:
"Lao Qiu, you, the Immortal Prince, are quite interesting.
Give it to me and let him practice with Fan Zuo and Fan Right for two years.
In a few years, I will become an immortal and attain enlightenment.
At that time, I will let this little baby manage the temple affairs.
As long as he has some talent, I will give him a chance to become an immortal."
I listened to Yang Jian's words beside me, and while I was envious, I began to be shocked again:
Why is becoming an immortal and attaining enlightenment so casual?
It doesn't mean that you need extremely high talent, a lot of luck, and in the end you have to survive the catastrophe.
There is a nine-to-nine chance of death and a zero-point chance of a lifetime to become an immortal.
From what Erlang Zhenjun said, it was like randomly arranging someone to join the company.
Those who really use the back door will enter the Nantianmen.
Qiu Beidou smiled slightly and said to Yang Jian:
"What Mr. Erlang said is that the ugly boy is born.
But you have to wait, at least until my life is over.
Now I'm just a human being, and I'm still counting on the ugly boy to help me."
Before Qiu Beidou finished speaking, he saw a few splashes of water suddenly appear on the river.
Then the river surface seemed to be boiling hot water, with large and small water splashes churning endlessly.
"Children's stuff"
This time, before Yang Jian could say anything, the thin man standing behind him - Howling Sky Dog bared his teeth, then raised his head and let out a wolf howl.
There was a long "woo" sound, as if dozens of grenades were thrown into the river.
As a series of explosions sounded, the rolling water also disappeared without a trace.
After the last explosion, the river surface once again returned to mirror-like calm.
At this time, the big man in black took a few steps forward and shouted to the river:
"Bafang Land, Mandrill, listen!
The True Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao came to Pantianhe on behalf of the Heavenly Patrol. You must not disturb him.
Anyone who offends will be punished by heaven."
Although Fan Zuo is not a god yet, when he shouted these words, the air on the river became distorted.
After shouting a few words, some ripples appeared on the river.
After seeing Lianyi, Fan Zuo turned back to Yang Jian and said:
"Zhenjun, the river has been cleared.
Now that I know it is Mr. Erlang who has arrived, the evil spirits have already fled."
I couldn't help it, so I leaned close to Zhuge Zhengqi's ear and whispered:
"I thought that as soon as Erlang Shen arrived, he would lead us directly into the river.
What kind of demon is evil? A three-pointed two-edged sword appeared.
The chopping of melons and vegetables is usually done, so why are you polite first and then soldiers?
This problem is not good.”
The ugly Taoist priest wanted to cover my mouth, but he was still slow.
"You really think I can't hear you?"
Yang Jian turned around and glanced at me. Just when he was about to say something else, Qiu Beidou interceded on my behalf and said:
"Master Erlang, don't be like a mortal.
This little monkey's mouth is so talkative that he can't even keep up with his heart. It looks like he just vomited without thinking.
Boy named Shen! What do you know?
This is the rule of heaven. Do you think it is the same as fighting with you mortals?
Stand far away!
Shut your mouth."
Yang Jian glanced at Qiu Beidou and said helplessly:
"Lao Qiu, why do you think I can see like a mortal?
That arrogant little kid, you stay here and wait for us to come back."
I agreed and then blurted out:
"Then what if you can't come back?"
After I said this sentence, I also knew that I was wrong, so I quickly corrected it and said:
"I also know that it is impossible. You are the second son of God, the Jade Emperor is the eldest, and you are the second oldest - except for that monkey."
"Shut up! Don't mention the monkey!
Say one more word and I will be as familiar as you."
Yang Jian glared at me, but he still hesitated, and then said to the skinny man who was baring his teeth at me:
"Xiao Tian, you stay here and watch this kid.
I'm afraid that in addition to his bad words, he also has cheap hands, so he won't ruin my big event."
Roaring Sky Dog stopped working, pointed at the two big men with big shoulders and round waists, and said:
"Can't we let them both watch?
I can't be more useful than the two Pan brothers.
No, no, I have to follow you down."
"You stay here and watch him."
Yang Jian's face darkened, he pointed at me and said something to the skinny man, then turned to Qiu Beidou and said:
"I won't waste any more time. Please go back to the Forbidden Gate and I'll give you the credit.
Lao Qiu, you don’t have to wait another life, you can go back to heaven directly.”
After saying that, before Fatty Qiu could be polite, he walked towards the river first.
The other few people followed him and walked directly onto the mirror-like river surface.
As I was stunned, these gods and humans disappeared on the river together.
After watching his master disappear, the skinny man rushed over, bared his teeth, stared at me and said:
"Why do you want me to be punished for the mistakes you made?
You, a little mortal, want me—who do you want!"
The Howling Dog, who was baring his teeth at me face to face, suddenly noticed something. He jumped backwards, faced the air behind him and barked wildly.
These few barkings of dogs shook my ears and two streams of warmth flowed out.
When I wiped it with my hand, it started to bleed.
I covered my ears and was about to shout to the howling dog.
But he fled and ran towards the woods on the opposite side.
No matter how much I shouted, I couldn't call this human-looking howling dog back.
At this time, in the ears that were still buzzing, a voice that could not be identified as male or female sounded:
"You came with Jiro Guanguchi - are you also a god?"
