Chapter 41: The God of the Land
A horse-drawn carriage creaked along the official road.
Inside the carriage, Xun Yi leaned at the end, using silk to offset the shaking of the carriage. On the left is Aunt Xue, and on the right there is Ma Jingyi and the cage with the canine rabbit.
Bai Fu turned into a three-inch villain and stood on Xun Yi's shoulder: "Why did the prince bring him too?"
Ma Jingyi is a family member of the evil god, who knows if it will cause chaos at this critical juncture?
"My gut told me that taking them with me would help this plague. β
They?
Bai Fu looked at the rabbit who was shivering and hiding in the corner of the cage.
"Just this coward?" Bai Fu shook his head and looked at the information in Xun Yi's hand.
Xun Yi spent his tongue to get first-hand information from Li Taishou, and was silently checking the records of the past few days.
"Miao County is over, don't think about recovering in the next few years. "Looking at the death estimates above, this plague has killed thousands of people, and many more have been infected.
Miao County is known as a city of 2,000 households, with a population of almost 10,000. One-tenth of the population died, and counting those who were critically ill, if the rescue could not be reached this time, I am afraid that there would be no chickens and dogs left in the city.
"Moreover, the source of the plague is not visible. Xun Yi flipped through the information and smiled bitterly: "Although I am looking for a famous doctor to check, I want to dispense medicine for treatment, and this time is ......."
"This outbreak of the plague was sudden, and it was related to Shinto. "Aunt Xue refers to calculations, but she feels hazy and hazy, and the heavenly machine cannot be explored.
"Young master, don't worry, since it's a Shinto matter, there will be an excuse to intervene in Shinto when you turn around. If you can get the elixir, you can easily resolve the calamity. β
Bai Fu also said: "Shinto things are natural disasters, different from man-made disasters. Divine Dao can make a move, not to mention, those Qi Alchemists in Great Zhou and those in Fang Immortal Dao can help. β
"Fang Xiandao studied the art of elixir and was the best at healing and relieving misfortune. Aunt Xue comforted Xun Yi: "The son of the Liu family may not have an accident." β
"I'm not worried about his accident, Qizi went back to the county a few days ago, saying that her parents were not in good health, so she came back to see it first. Now that I think about it, I'm afraidβ" Xun Yi couldn't bear to say more. According to the information, Liu Zhenying's parents should be the first batch of people to be infected. So, can Liu Yingqi's girl escape?
"Do your best to listen to the destiny of heaven, Brother Ming, they are already preparing medicinal materials and water, and Li Taishou has also invited a few warlocks in the city, and I don't know if I can catch up. β
Worried, several people came to the boundary of Miao County.
The sky over Miao County was gloomy and windy, and there was an indescribable weirdness in the air.
Aunt Xue's face changed, and she hurriedly poured potion on the handkerchief for Xun Yi to cover.
"Young Master, you are mortal in the flesh, and you can't easily breathe the air of Miao County. β
The potion that Aunt Xue configured was refined by the secret technique of the Heavenly Fox, Xun Yi tied a handkerchief, and also asked Ma Jingyi to cover his mouth and nose, and carefully looked into the distance through the window.
With the naked eye, a large number of beast carcasses lay in the fields on both sides, and there were many imps with sharp horns and wings frolicking in the fields.
"It's a plague ghost. Aunt Xue flicked her fingers, knocked the groom unconscious, and asked Ma Jingyi to drive. Aunt Xue stood at the top of the carriage, and the plague ghosts around her seemed to sense the breath of the living, squeaking in their mouths, and a group of plague ghosts pounced on Aunt Xue.
Aunt Xue's right hand was slightly supported, a ball of white mangs swallowed, and it was released with a whoosh, and the plague ghost was stabbed to death by the white-eyed divine needle in Aunt Xue's hand.
After death, the plague ghost turned into pus and infiltrated the earth, flowing into the depths along the spiritual veins.
"These plague ghosts can't be killed. Bai Fu also stood up and said to Aunt Xue: "Kill these plague ghosts, the plague gas penetrates deep into the earth and pollutes the leylines, and we have become accomplices." β
Aunt Xue and the others held their own mana and stood at the top to guard the carriage. The surrounding plague ghosts pounced, and did not kill them, casting a spell to repel them and rushing into the county seat of Miao County.
Miao County is the county seat attached to Qinglong City. However, because of the lack of population and the lack of land, although it has the name of the county seat, it has no actual county seat. Therefore, there is only the land and not the city god. The person in charge here is a sword cultivator from decades ago. After his death, he was sacrificed by the township, and slowly evolved from the countryside to the county seat in a few decades.
"In another ten years, this place is expected to become independent and give birth to a city god. Bai Fu stood at the door of the Land Temple, looking at the dim divine light above: "It's a pity, if this kind of thing happens, if Lord Yan wants to be promoted to City God, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." β
A few people walked into the Land Temple, and this temple was naturally not as good as those temples and ancestral halls in Qinglong City. But because it is the only temple in Miao County, it has been expanded over the past few decades, and the respect of the locals can also be seen.
However, some traces of blood can be seen around the wooden pillars of the steps that have not yet been washed away.
Aunt Xue's face moved slightly, the Heavenly Fox Spirit Pupil opened, looking back on the past few days, she saw many people vomiting blood and dying at the gate of the land.
"These people should be infected with the epidemic and came to the Land Temple to find the Land God for help?" Unfortunately, the land did not respond from beginning to end, so these people died tragically at the gate of the Land Temple, and their grievances dispersed the divine power of the Land Temple, and they were as dead and silent as ghosts.
Xun Yi couldn't help but shudder, walked into the lobby of the Land Temple, and saw the statue of the land god. There is no spirituality, and there is no mysterious divine power of those temples in Qinglong City at all.
"Someone sealed this land temple?" Aunt Xue was surprised and flicked her fingers. A yellow piece of paper appeared on the forehead of the land god, and the yellow paper exuded the power of the earth to suppress the land god, isolating the land god's divine domain from the outside world.
The yellow paper was written with divine characters that Xun Yi couldn't understand, but he vaguely felt that he had seen it somewhere.
The loess platform in the forbidden land of the City God's Mansion?
It is not the text used to seal the loess platform, but the seal inscription engraved on the loess platform itself.
"What is this?" Bai Fu stretched out his hand and grabbed it, condensed it with ghost qi, and turned into spikes and stabbed at the yellow paper.
On the surface of the yellow paper, the snake flew, and the yellow dragon roared, biting and stabbing the ground and then demonstrating to Aunt Xue and the others.
"Dragon Pattern Snake Seal, Earth Wei Lingwen?" Aunt Xue muttered to herself, and Bai Fu's face froze beside her, thinking of something unpleasant.
There are many kinds of characters used in Shinto, such as the dragon god's unique dragon seal style, the phoenix's mysterious phoenix wing graphics and texts, and the human gods also have the Yanhuang divine text left by the Shi Huang Cangjie clan back then. Because of its proximity to mortals, Shinto sometimes uses mortal scripts, but it also uses Shinto-specific scripts.
Generally speaking, in order to integrate the civilizations of the major races, the first script used by Heavenly Court should be the cloud pattern thunder seal handed down from the Yuan Emperor era.
Thunderclouds are celestial phenomena, which is a text derived from celestial phenomena. Inherited from several generations of Heavenly Emperors, after the addition and streamlining of successive generations of Heavenly Emperors, the power of the divine text is great.
But those gods who did not obey the heavenly court, the evil gods and demon gods suppressed by the emperors of the past dynasties, used other words.
The Wujin Xuanwen of the Dongyi Divine Clan, the Qingli Divine Script of the Southern Li Divine Clan, etc., among which there seems to be only one that uses the dragon pattern snake seal writing system.
"Didn't those ladies surrender to Heaven a long time ago?"
"But only a few highnesses obeyed the heavenly court and joined the heavenly court system, and the remaining highnesses still tried in vain to restore the ancient glory of the past. Behind Aunt Xue, the heavenly fox appeared in the law, and the sharp claws of the white velvet grabbed the yellow paper, and the yellow paper once again rose to the atmosphere of the dragon and snake dancing and the fox claws confronted.
Aunt Xue moved her hand, strengthened her strength and forcibly tore the yellow paper, and the yellow paper fragments disappeared into the ground.
"It is a divine seal written by a priest of the Earth Mother. These people really haven't grown, and now they are still stuck in the inheritance of the age of gods and witches. Aunt Xue broke the seal and waited quietly for the idol's own brilliance to recover.
However, after waiting for a while, the idol did not move.
"What is Lord Yan doing? Didn't you already help him break the seal?" Bai Fu was secretly annoyed, so he could only ask Xun Yi for help and forcibly open the Land God Domain with the power of the City God.
Xun Yi couldn't help, so he looked around in the land temple. The mural depicts two sword cultivators fighting, one of whom is holding a wooden sword and the vegetation is lush around him, defeating the sword cultivator holding an iron sword on the other side.
Bai Fu said to him: "Childe, hit the idol with the Chenghuang Divine Seal, since he doesn't come out to pick us up, then we will go in by ourselves!"
The Land God Domain is attached to the four heavens and earths of the Qinglong City God. As long as Xun Yi is willing, he can easily deprive Miao County of the divine power of the land.
He shook his left hand, the seal of the god on the back of his hand lit up, he jumped up and slapped the statue of the god, and the golden light suddenly appeared, and the group of people disappeared from the land temple.
When he opened his eyes again, several people appeared in a space shrouded in yellow gas. The loess earth under your feet, and in front of you is a temple that is exactly the same as the land temple outside.
"Influenced by the human world and Shinto, the power of the land gods is attached to the temple. As long as the temple of the sun is destroyed, this divine domain will dissipate on its own in a short time. Bai Fu explained, and stepped forward to call the door.
But there was no movement inside, and when Bai Fu was about to break in, Aunt Xue stopped him: "Be careful of deception, find the civil and military judge and others, and let's go in together." β
The greatest characteristic of the god lord is not his combat power, but his unifying force. To be able to unite all of one's own gods is the privilege of the City God.
Xun Yi silently closed his eyes, and called for the civil and military judges on the side of Qinglong City in his heart. The divine array under his feet opened, expanding in the loess land, and after a burst of brilliant brilliance, the civil and military judges led many divine soldiers to descend here.
When the martial judge saw that the gate was locked, he kicked the gate open with a kick and scolded: "Old Yantou, what's wrong with your family! Lord Chenghuang came in person, and you didn't come out to greet you-"
As soon as I entered, I saw more than a dozen plague ghosts biting the land gods who had fallen in the courtyard. The yellow light of the land god itself almost disappeared, and only the black qi that symbolized the plague god enveloped the land god. Step by step, he is transforming his divine power into the calamity divine power of the plague god line.
"Evil obstacles, get out of here!" Wu Ju's face darkened, and the sword in his hand slashed fiercely, slashing all these plague ghosts to death, and hurriedly stepped forward to help his old friend.
"No, the divine power attribute of martial judgment is different from that of the land god. Childe, you control the Divine Seal of the City God, and coordinate the divine power of all of us. You use your divine powers to help him. The judge instructed Xun Yi to save people.
Xun Yi gathered the divine power in the palm of his hand and gently pasted it, the divine power purified the plague power on the land, and the land of Miao County slowly woke up.
Seeing that his old friend had woken up, Wu Ju angrily scolded the land of Miao County: "What happened?
The land in Miao County was pale, and Xun Yi helped him sit up slowly.
Seeing everyone, Miao County Land talked about what happened here.
"Ten days ago, a strange beast appeared out of thin air in Miao County. The beast swallowed the black mist, wielding the power of the plague, turning a few boys around me into plague ghosts. Later, I came forward to fight him, and the strange beast seemed to have someone to help, and instead transformed the hundred divine soldiers of my land god line into plague ghosts. β
"Those plague ghosts who did evil in Miao County are your divine soldiers?" Xun Yi's face was a little delicate, and he could see a lot of plague ghosts along the way. Moreover, those plague ghosts who have just been sentenced to death by force......
Looking at the corpses of the plague ghosts in the courtyard, these corpses have not yet been transformed into pus because of the relationship of the divine domain. The land of Miao County is silent, and these plague ghosts used to be his cultivated descendants.
"Everyone was transformed into a plague ghost, and I was the only one who escaped. I wanted to report and summon the news to Qinglong City, but was stopped by a group of men dressed as priests. Sealing the Divine Domain and putting the plague ghosts in is probably intended to transform me into a plague god and put all these sins on me, right?"
