Qi Yuan sighed softly, and then said: "Originally, I shouldn't tell you these things now, but now that you have encountered such monsters, I will tell you."
He casually put the bone spur next to him, sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "Back then, after I obtained the Twelve Yuan Chen White Bone Gods and Demons as my teacher, I also wondered what kind of race left these terrifying bones. Why?
I have also asked your master about this."
He was talking about Zhao Gongming. After all, the Tongtian leader started teaching him after he understood the way of the sword, which was not long ago.
"At the beginning, your master didn't speak bluntly to me. He just said that my cultivation level was not enough. It was useless to know this in advance, so he didn't say anything.
It was not until later, after Patriarch Tongtian explained the cause of the Great Tribulation of the Gods in Biyou Palace, that your Patriarch told me that these bones of gods and demons turned out to be the corpses of demons from outside the world."
Deng Chanyu asked: "Master, are those demons from outside the world so powerful? With just a few corpses, they can create such a powerful puppet as the Bone God Demon?
Moreover, the demon clan that my disciple met this time was obviously seriously injured. Even though my disciple and others had tried their best, they almost defeated us. Is this strength a little too strong?"
"hehe."
Qi Yuan chuckled lightly and said: "Since the demons from outside the world dare to covet me, Honghuang, they are naturally very powerful.
But there is no need to increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige. You must know that the prehistoric times today are not the prehistoric days when the world was first opened.
In the past countless years, countless powerful creatures have been born in the ancient world. Now there are several saints such as Patriarch Tongtian who sit outside the sky. The Zhoutian Star Formation in heaven has been restarted again. It is basically impossible for those demons to invade the ancient world.
, so you don’t have to worry too much.
As for the demon you met, he either had some unknown method to sneak into the ancient world, or he was just a guy who was lucky enough to survive in ancient times and barely survived.
No matter which one it is, there is no need to worry too much, as the court is now running.
After my master reports this matter, no matter how powerful the demon clan is, under the pursuit of heaven, he can only hide in a dark corner and survive. It is just a dream to want to cause such a big disturbance in the ancient world.
."
Qi Yi, Deng Chanyu and the others nodded. They were not very afraid at first, but now that they heard what the master said, they no longer took it seriously.
Of course, they would not underestimate the demon clan because of this.
No matter what, the opponent's moral conduct is far superior to theirs. If the opponent's strength recovers, they will definitely not be easy to mess with.
Now that you have made a grudge, you still need to be careful if you encounter someone in the future, otherwise it will be unlucky to be careless and capsize in the gutter.
At that moment, Qi Yuan asked them carefully about the situation when they were fighting the demon and the methods used by the demon, and then analyzed them one by one and told them how to respond more appropriately if they encounter similar methods in the future.
It was not until it was getting late that Qi Yuan ordered them to go back and meditate.
Qi Yi, in particular, had absorbed spiritual energy to restore his mana on the way back, but the spiritual energy at high altitudes was thin and could not be compared with a blessed place of cultivation such as Mount Emei, so his mana has not been fully restored until now.
He Ling'er has a childlike mind. When he followed Qi Yuan in his early years, Qi Yuan still looked like a little old man.
Therefore, this girl has long integrated the image of Qi Yuan and her grandfather into one. She usually likes to be around Qi Yuan. At this time, she does not want to return to her small building alone, so she takes Qi Yuan with her.
His sleeves followed him back to Luofu Cave.
Qi Yuan didn't mind either, since he didn't like the feeling of being alone anyway, so he often took He Ling'er with him to guide her in her practice.
…………
Time flies, months pass by in a hurry, and the new year is approaching.
People outside the mountains are preparing to celebrate the New Year at home, and Qi Yuan is also preparing to go to heaven to report on his work.
This time is also the time when people worship the Kitchen God the most.
Among his believers, only a very small number of them would burn incense and worship Qi Yuan every morning and night out of gratitude because he had saved them before.
The reason why the vast majority of other people worship the Kitchen God is mainly because the Kitchen God was originally a sage of the human race and has made contributions to the people and is more popular, so people are willing to worship such a god.
Through some news spread intentionally or unintentionally by Qi Yuan, most people among the people already know that the Kitchen God not only manages the fires of each household and supervises the good and evil of the people, but also goes to the heaven at the end of each year to report on the people's conditions.
So at this time, the people unanimously began to worship, hoping that the Kitchen God would not speak ill of them in heaven.
After all, the name of the Kitchen God has not been around for long, and people worship it somewhat casually, without forming any rules.
When people from relatively wealthy families offer sacrifices to the Kitchen God, they will arrange various offerings, burn incense and worship, and pray sincerely. However, although ordinary people's homes will also burn incense and worship, the offerings will definitely be much simpler.
Some people from relatively poor families would just use straw to make a straw horse and grab a handful of soybeans to send him to heaven as a mount and the horse's fodder.
Of course, after worshiping, these people did not forget to say a few words about good things coming from heaven and good luck from the lower world.
In fact, how could the Jade Emperor care about the behavior of the people in each household? He only needs to have a general understanding of the people's sentiments. At most, he can make some corresponding arrangements based on the folk customs of a certain place, without going into detail.
Manage the affairs of a certain household.
It is the underworld that really rewards and punishes individuals for their good and evil deeds.
In the book of life and death of the innate spiritual treasure in the underworld, the good and evil deeds of each living being will be directly displayed. Based on this, judgments will be made. The heinous people will be sent to the eighteenth level of hell to be tortured. The people who have accumulated virtues and done good deeds will be reincarnated.
, to live a peaceful and prosperous life.
However, Qi Yuan was just a part-time god, so he did not put all his energy into the priesthood. After spreading the name of the god, being recognized by the people, and worshiping him, he spent most of his time
Come and take care of your own affairs in Mount Emei.
Now that the New Year is approaching, under the worship of the people, his power of incense suddenly increases greatly, which makes Qi Yuan feel a little embarrassed.
He felt a little sorry that he was usually so lazy and yet received so many people's worship.
He was wondering whether he should create a clone and let the clone perform the duties of the Kitchen God.
But I felt a little hesitant.
It's not because refining the clone requires a lot of rare weapon refining materials. Judging from the treasures he collected previously, there is really no shortage of this rare material.
What really made him hesitate was that sacrificing a clone did not mean that his body could completely ignore the Kitchen God.
He is no longer the young casual cultivator he was back then, and he also knows a lot about clones. If he wants to refine a clone, he first needs to separate part of his own spiritual origin.
But he has only become an immortal recently, and if he rashly cuts off his soul now, it will be detrimental to his future practice.
Furthermore, the avatar is connected to his mind. Even if the avatar is dealing with Kitchen God's affairs, he is not without sensitivity, and it is inevitable that part of his mind will still be involved.
So he was wondering if he could find a way to get the best of both worlds, which could take care of civil affairs without delaying his own practice.
However, it is not easy to have both the fish and the bear's paw, so he hasn't figured out any way yet.
Fortunately, there was no rush for this kind of thing, he had plenty of time to think about it slowly.
On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, he took Deng Chanyu to heaven.
Heaven is at the highest point in the prehistoric world, located above the Nine Heavens. Along the way, one needs to pass through nine levels of strong winds, each of which is stronger than the last. Even objects made of fine steel, gold, and iron will be blown into powder by such fierce winds.
Ordinary Qi refiners would not dare to go deep into the Gangfeng.
This is why, under normal circumstances, only immortals can ascend to heaven.
As for the heavenly soldiers sent by Heaven to conquer demons in the lower world, although they do not have the strength of immortals, they have their own talismans refined by Heaven to protect themselves, so they are not afraid of erosion by these strong winds.
If Deng Chanyu went to the Heavenly Court alone, she would really suffer a lot given her conduct, and she might be stopped by the heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the Heavenly Gate outside the Heavenly Gate.
After all, she did not serve in the Heavenly Court, nor did she become an immortal, so she might not even be able to enter the Heavenly Gate.
But if you follow Qi Yuan, you don't have to worry about this.
Along the way, they were enveloped by Qi Yuan's sword light, breaking through the nine layers of void at an extremely fast speed. No matter how fierce the wind was, they could not blow away the sword light outside them.
As soon as Qi Yuan and Deng Chanyu landed outside the Nantian Gate, the eyes of the four heavenly kings guarding the gate suddenly lit up and they came forward with smiles on their faces.
They were originally stationed at the Sifang Tianmen for the Heavenly Court, but they found out that the Kitchen God would come to the Heavenly Court every year on this day to report on his duties, so they came here specifically to wait and express their gratitude to him.
After all, the people of Jiameng Pass suddenly worshiped them, how could these kings not investigate in detail.
Then, naturally, they heard from the people that it was the Kitchen God who suggested that the people of Jiameng Pass worship them.
This is a great kindness.
You must know that although the four generals of the Demon Family once sat in Jiameng Pass, they held their own identities as Qi Refiners and were only one step away from becoming immortals. Most of their time on weekdays was spent meditating and practicing Taoism.
Even military affairs are basically left to the generals under their command. Of course, they have no time to deal with civil affairs, so they basically don't pay much attention to the people.
Now that I have gone to heaven and become a god, I have discovered that it is not an ordinary difficulty to develop followers in the lower world.
Although they also found a few veterans who had fled Jiameng Pass after the defeat in Xiqi, and asked them to build a simple shrine for the four of them outside the city.
It is a pity that not many people worship it on weekdays, and even a few days after the temple was built, it was demolished by the city officials.
The reason was that those officials suspected that someone worshiping the former general was intending to rebel.
This left the four generals of the Demon Family a little helpless.
Although their divine status is recognized by heaven, the war in the lower world has just passed, and those ordinary officials do not know that they have been conferred divine status. It is normal to have such a reaction.
But if we wait a few more decades, I am afraid that few people in Jiameng Pass will still remember who they are, and it will definitely be more difficult to get people to believe in them.
Just when they were at a loss what to do, the gospel came directly from the lower world. In just a few days, people all over the city of Jiameng Pass were worshiping them, causing their incense accumulation to skyrocket.
If they continue at this rate, I'm afraid they will be able to advance to become gods within a hundred years.
Therefore, Qi Yuan's kindness to them was not unimportant, so they specifically inquired about Qi Yuan's news from the god who was in charge of the list of gods in the Lingxiao Palace. Knowing that he would return to heaven today, they waited here specially.
"The little god pays homage to the Kitchen Lord."
When the four generals of the Demon Family saw Qi Yuan from a distance, an uncontrollable smile suddenly appeared on their faces. They quickly took a few steps forward and bowed to pay homage.
Inside and outside the Nantian Gate, the heavenly soldiers under their command who were on duty saw their four heavenly kings saluting one person at the same time, and they were suddenly a little puzzled.
You must know that due to their duties, these four heavenly kings usually only clasp their fists and salute, even if they are gods of higher rank. When have they ever been so polite as today, they would start saluting from afar.
Moreover, the person saluting was obviously a minor god with a low level, judging from the divine robe he was wearing.
"You kings are welcome."
Qi Yuan smiled slightly and Jishou bowed to them.
Mo Liqing said: "I have to thank Lord Zao for his help this time. Otherwise, it will not be easy for our brothers to earn some incense."
"good."
Mo Lihong also said: "Before, our brothers also showed their holiness in front of people, but our duty was to guard the Tianmen, not to be responsible for other things, so we were busy for a long time and didn't get much incense.
As a result, Kitchen Lord’s words caused our brothers to be worshiped by so many people, and there was even a trend of developing into surrounding towns.
Such a great kindness, the four of us will never forget it. From now on, whenever Zao Lord comes in handy to get our brothers, just say a word, and the four of us will go through fire and water without hesitation."
After Qi Yuan heard this, he felt happy in his heart, but he kept saying modestly: "The kings are really too polite. We all serve as officials in the heaven, and we should help each other. Don't be too arrogant about trivial matters.
In my heart."
"Hey, Lord Zao, what you said is wrong."
Mo Lihai, who was carrying a pipa on his back, said: "For Lord Zao, this is naturally just a small matter, but for us, it is a major matter related to our future future.
Therefore, we will definitely remember Mr. Zao's kindness in our hearts, but our brothers have nothing but magic weapons, and for a while we don't know how to repay him."
The fourth demon, Li Shou, also said: "If Mr. Zao is free, why don't we wait for our brothers to come to our mansion to sit down. Our brothers have prepared a few glasses of wine, and I hope Mr. Zao will appreciate it then."
"It's easy to talk, but Pindao will stay in heaven for a few days, and he will inevitably be disturbed by it."
At that moment, Qi Yuan smiled and made an appointment with these kings to go to the banquet at that time, so as to take the opportunity to deepen the friendship between the two parties.
