Chapter two hundred and twenty sixth come prepared
Jinling City.
It is the most prosperous city in this world.
Unlike Guo Beicheng, although Guo Beicheng is a big city, its population, wealth, and taxes are far less than that of Jinling City.
Even though the world is in turmoil today, the prosperity here remains unaffected at all.
However, outside Jinling City, there is a pavilion on the roadside three miles away.
It was getting dark now, and it was still evening.
The people nearby still maintain the habit of working at sunrise and resting at sunset. At this time, there are no people on the road. There are only a few people rushing into the city, or after selling their goods, they go to the market and rush home.
Passed by in a hurry.
But among the passers-by, few of them noticed that there was a person sitting in the pavilion on the roadside.
A young man with extraordinary temperament wearing brocade clothes and scholarly appearance.
But this man's attire was a bit strange. He was sitting in the pavilion holding a large pale golden gun, and his bright eyes stared closely at every passerby.
I don't know how long it took.
Suddenly, before the sun set, an old woman with gray hair and a hunched back, her head wrapped in a cloth, was walking slowly towards the direction of Jinling City carrying a bamboo basket.
Such a poor old European rarely attracts people's attention when walking on the road.
But the moment the old woman appeared, Li Xiuyuan's eyes became sharp.
"Here comes...the Plague God."
What Lord Zhenwu said was indeed correct. The God of Plague changed direction and headed towards Jinling City. The speed of his dragon and horse was faster than the speed of the God of Plague on foot, so he was able to prepare here in advance and wait for the arrival of the God of Plague.
The God of Plague did not seem to notice the existence of Li Xiuyuan. As a saint in the world, he was not discovered by ghosts and gods. Unless he encountered him head-on, no one could deduce his whereabouts.
The old woman walked towards Jinling City step by step. If she continued like this, she could enter Jinling City smoothly.
Once entering the city, the Plague God will spread the plague, and then the flower-filled Jinling City will be engulfed by the disease.
"Huh~!"
However, at this moment, a whistling sound suddenly sounded, and a large pale golden gun suddenly fell from the side and stopped in front of the old woman.
"God of Plague, you make it easy for me to find you. Don't move. If you move again, don't blame me for being merciless and assassinating you with one shot." Li Xiuyuan's face was calm, and the sharp gun tip was on the old woman's head.
before.
With just a wave of his arm, her body could be torn open.
"It should be impossible for you to discover my whereabouts again. It seems that a certain expert is secretly helping you?" The old woman sighed and said helplessly.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Why didn't you quibble this time and run away?"
The old woman said: "Since the saint on earth has already killed me, the little god of plague, how can I dare to run away again? Spreading the plague is important, but my own life is even more important. If I am killed by you,
, even if I die, my death will be in vain. I don’t know why a saint in this world is so persistent in stopping the little god."
"What else can I do, of course, let you stop spreading the plague." Li Xiuyuan said.
"As a god of plague, it is normal to be hated by saints in the world. After all, the little god will only bring disaster to the mortal world. But I hope you can understand that the little god who spreads the plague is just following the will of heaven. The heaven has issued a decree, so what can I do?
Can you not comply?" The old woman looked at Li Xiuyuan and sighed.
Li Xiuyuan asked: "Where is your Dharma intended?"
"it's here."
The old woman took out a piece of transparent jade from the bamboo basket. A little golden light flashed inside, and from time to time it gathered into dense rows of small characters.
Li Xiuyuan reached out and snatched the decree from Tiangong: "Now you can return to Tiangong and say that your decree was taken away by Li Xiuyuan, and there is no way to spread the plague this time."
"Even if the decree is taken away and the God of Plague returns to life, what if another decree comes down from the Heavenly Palace in a few days? A saint on earth can't stop the God of Plague from being sent down by the Heavenly Palace every day."
At this time, a sudden voice sounded, and on the side of the nearby road, a passing farmer came, holding his hands behind his back, and striding with an uneasy aura.
It was as if he were a superior god, and he didn't look like a farmer at all.
"Um?"
Li Xiuyuan's expression changed. He looked at the farmer, but saw that his eyes were blank and he was at a loss. He was obviously lost.
The old woman transformed by the plague god next to her was quite shocked when she saw this, and bowed respectfully to the farmer.
"This decree to spread the plague should not be issued. There are already enough disasters in the world. I wonder which god descended to earth?" Li Xiuyuan asked,
The farmer smiled lightly and said, "It doesn't matter who you are. What's important is that saints in the world need to understand a truth. Since ancient times, there have been great epidemics after great disasters. The rules of the Heavenly Palace have been passed down for countless years. How can they be broken just because you are special?"
?”
"Rules are made. Since they can be made, they can be changed." Li Xiuyuan said.
"You can't change the rules of the Heavenly Palace just for your sake. Besides, no one has the right to change the rules once they are set. They can only abide by them." The farmer said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Bad rules should not be continued. It was a mistake when they were originally formulated. The gods of the Tiangong should correct them in time instead of condoning them, just like you condoned the Dragon King of Wujiang."
"So the unruly Dragon King of Wujiang is dead."
"So, there is no need to discuss?"
"You don't understand the rules of the Heavenly Palace now, but you will understand when you become a god in the future. The God of Plague may not spread the plague in Jinling City today, but he will appear in other places tomorrow. I hope you will not continue to interfere with the operation of the Heavenly Palace." Then.
The farmer spoke.
Li Xiuyuan put away the big gun, stood on the ground and said: "I can't take care of the affairs of the Heavenly Palace, and I don't want to, but I have to take care of the things of the human world. After all, I am a mortal. If I don't care about the affairs of the mortal world, wouldn't it be the same?
Are you just eating trash waiting to die? So I won’t agree to your plan to spread the plague in the world. If you insist on doing so, then I can only ask you two to test whether my sword is sharp."
After saying that, he closed his eyes, and purple energy seemed to surge around his body, and his soul wanted to rush out of his body and appear.
Before he was completely out of his body, a big knife was already in his hand.
"It's the immortal-killing sword of a saint in the world. I've heard about it before, but I just saw it today. It was the sword that killed the Dragon King of Wujiang with two swords that day. It's really the best weapon in the world." The farmer exclaimed.
"Now that I know it, would you please try it?" Li Xiuyuan said.
"Stop it, saint on earth, your immortal-killing sword killed the Dragon King of Wujiang that day, which was already a provocation to the Heavenly Palace. However, considering that the Dragon King of Wujiang committed such a heinous crime, the Heavenly Palace refused to pursue him. Today, you raised your sword against the God of Plague in the Heavenly Palace, but...
It’s a little too much.”
Suddenly, another voice sounded. This voice was powerful and majestic, but when I looked closely, I saw a passing vendor walking over.
Obviously, this is another god using the hawker's body to reveal his magical powers.
Li Xiuyuan frowned and took a look, but he couldn't tell which god was coming down to earth, but from the looks of it, there were quite a few gods staring at the God of Plague.
Are you trying to protect yourself from the plague god?
After the vendor appeared, several nearby birds fluttered their wings and landed on the pavilion nearby. Behind these two birds, you could vaguely see the shadow of a tall and burly god general.
There were also hares and grass snakes emerging from the grass on the nearby roadside, looking at Li Xiuyuan with a pair of eyes that seemed to be warning.
Although they are ordinary animals, there are gods living behind them.
It’s just that I don’t know who the gods gathered here are. It seems that they deliberately want to hide their identities.
Do you not want to be exposed? Or are you afraid of retaliation in the future if Li Xiuyuan recognizes you?
"It seems that there are many gods in the sky, but you are not just here for the plague god's affairs. To you, whether a plague spreads smoothly or not is not worthy of your attention. You are here for other things.
Come." Li Xiuyuan immediately laughed.
The gods above the heavenly palace actually came prepared.
He now understands a little bit why he met Lord Zhenwu before.
This is not a coincidence, but a well-prepared encounter.
As for what this purpose is, he still doesn't know.
