The wind howled and the snow rolled.
Night had fallen at this time, but the atmosphere inside Chengdu Prefecture was still feverish.
The city is full of red lanterns, emitting a scarlet halo through the fog, mixed with the biting cold wind and heavy snow.
Muffled thunder could be heard from time to time in the air, and the feeling of oppression was suffocating.
Along both sides of the street, the bamboo and wooden lantern sheds should have been colorful, but now they are uniformly covered with red curtains, and various palace lanterns and revolving lanterns emit a blurry red light in the thick fog.
The patterns of flowers, birds and gods painted on the lanterns were reflected in a ferocious and distorted way, reflecting blood-colored light and shadow on the snow-covered ground.
The whole city seemed to be sinking into a pool of blood in the underworld.
All the people in the city have been attacked at this moment. Their faces are flushed, sweat is dripping from their foreheads, and saliva is hanging from the corners of their mouths.
Holding a torch in hand, he wandered unconsciously in the thick fog.
Everyone was going crazy, fights and fights could be seen everywhere, broken limbs and blood were splashed on the snow.
Even the children screamed, lit firecrackers and threw them at the crowd. The explosions caused even more excited roars.
The rust stains of "God of Joy Coin" on their bodies peeled off, and where they came into contact with the skin, the blood vessels swelled and spread like black lines, like black and blue curse lines.
However, they were completely unaware of the pain and just mechanically repeated broken words such as "burn incense and pray for blessings" and "kill evil spirits".
The streets and alleys are in chaos everywhere.
The entire Chengdu Prefecture seems to be dragged into a nightmare.
At this moment, reality and fiction overlap.
Only madness and blood become the main themes.
There were supposed to be soldiers patrolling the city wall, but when Dragon Palace Water Mansion Secret Realm was dragged in, all the soldiers had already received the order and retreated to defend outside the Shu King Residence gate.
At this moment, Chengdu Prefecture is no longer on guard.
Above the wilderness, a red mist came wrapped in wind and snow, rushing left and right, and hit the city wall with a bang.
The red mist dissipated, revealing a embarrassed figure.
It is Dragon Worship Sect master "Lang Wu".
"Ah~"
His head was bruised and bleeding, and he screamed in agony. He grabbed the edge of the bronze mask with his five fingers and pushed it outward with all his strength.
On Bronze Nuo Mask, the prominent longitudinal eyes flashed red.
This thing seems to have come to life. The red Evil Omen Qi is extremely sticky, like tiny roots, tightly adhering to Lang Wu's face.
As the mask loosened, the bloody roots grew longer and longer.
Snap!
Finally, Bronze Nuo Mask was taken off and rolled down.
Lang Wu's face was also covered with blood holes and pits, looking very miserable.
He ignored it, panting heavily, looking at Bronze Nuo Mask on the ground, his eyes full of fear.
This thing is originally the Ancient Shu Kingdom artifact, mysterious and unpredictable.
After being instructed by someone, he used it to absorb the Evil Omen Qi trapped in the Dragon Palace Water Mansion, completely turning it into demonic energy.
More powerful, but also more dangerous.
If you have to avoid Yinsi soldiers and horses, why would you use this thing?
What's even more troublesome is that the ceremony failed.
Then Li Yan, why is it still connected with Dragon Girl...
"Lang Wu" was also puzzled, but at this time there was no time to think too much. He reached out and wrapped the Nuo noodles in a rag, then stood up and stumbled towards the city.
At this moment, the city was in chaos.
Crazy people wandered around like drunkards, the red light of torches and the blood shadows of lanterns intertwined into a network, and they attacked those who were not cursed.
However, Lang Wu ignored it at all.
The Nuo face in his arms emitted red light, and the people along the way who were cursed and went crazy were also affected, turning a blind eye to him and getting out of the way.
Finally, Lang Wu arrived outside King of Shu's palace.
The King of Shu Palace at this moment is a different scene.
Every few dozen meters outside the palace, Three Zhang High Law Banner stands, with flags flying in the wind and snow, and huge white lanterns hung.
On the white lantern, a large word "Dian" is written in black ink, and there are also paintings of lotus flowers and cranes.
This object is called "Funeral Lamp", which originated in the Song Dynasty. It is also known as "Soul Guiding Lamp". It is said that it can illuminate the path of the deceased to the underworld and prevent them from getting lost.
It is a custom in some areas in the north to hang white lanterns in the courtyard on the "first seven" night for the deceased to "go home and visit relatives".
Speaking of which, hanging this is a bit ominous.
However, one hundred and eight formation flags outside the King of Shu palace, together with one hundred and eight "Funeral Lamp" lights, formed an formation that blocked the red light of the thick fog in the city.
Cool white and crazy red are clearly distinguishable.
The guards soldiers who were transferred to Chengdu are now camping outside the palace city. There are nearly 30,000 soldiers, and the tents are lined up, surrounding the palace.
They were not cursed. They stood in the wind and snow with spears in hand, looking at the crazy world on the other side, with confusion and fear in their eyes.
Although these soldiers came under orders, their loyalty to King of Shu is far higher than the imperial power over there.
But now, they are all worried.
This kind of scene doesn't look like he wants to establish himself as a king...
Of course, no one dared to ask more questions.
Behind the high wall, teams of Black Feather Guard directly under King of Shu were holding new muskets and patrolling on horseback, with murderous intent soaring.
Someone who raised questions before was shot on the spot.
The bloody corpse is still hanging on the wall.
In the dark alley in the distance, Lang Wu secretly looked around. Instead of breaking through from the front, he turned around and walked to a nearby house and jumped into the well.
This well leads directly to the outer moat of Shu King Residence.
Although Lang Wu cannot escape through water, his Qi pulse is long and he can shuttle through the water, pass through the aqueduct in one breath, and penetrate into King of Shu palace.
It popped up again and appeared in the pond in the palace garden.
He seemed to be very familiar with this place. He followed the shadows and quickly entered a woodshed.
There was a rustling sound, and when he pushed the door open and walked out, he had already changed into eunuch clothes, bowed and walked towards the East Sixth Palace.
Along the way, there were occasional sergeants standing guard and eunuchs and maids wandering around.
Whenever someone asked, Lang Wu would silently hand over his badge. If the other party asked, he would simply use ecstasy to fool him.
Normally, he wouldn't be so messy.
When East Sixth Palace was approaching, Lang Wu raised his head and looked into the distance.
But in front of the main hall of the palace, there were bright lights, illuminating the snowy night sky. Although it was blocked by the main hall, Lang Wu knew that it was King of Shu and his masters who were opening the altar.
He gritted his teeth, not daring to stay long, and quickly came to a small courtyard next to the East Sixth Palace, climbed over the wall and jumped into it.
Although the small courtyard is in the palace, it is very simple, with only one low floor and looks unremarkable.
This kind of courtyard is where the eunuchs from the palace live, and there are usually at least seven or eight people there, but at this time it was very deserted.
As soon as he entered the yard, Lang Wu smelled the smell of blood, his expression changed suddenly, and he rushed into the main room.
The room was dark, and on the pavement, a middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged and meditating. His face was pale and his chest was covered in blood.
"God Lord!"
Lang Wu felt anxious and stepped forward quickly.
But at this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes flickering in the darkness, cold and majestic.
"My God, please forgive me, but my subordinates are not doing well!"
Lang Wu was taken aback and quickly knelt down on one knee.
The middle-aged man is none other than the immortal Li Wenyuan who secretly descended to earth through Jiang God Great Lord Dragon Soul and was reincarnated.
Seeing that the other party was fine, Lang Wu was relieved.
Of course he knows the identity of Li Wenyuan, otherwise why would he give up his great future and serve him?
It's not that easy for this immortal to reincarnate and descend to earth.
If it weren't for Jiang God Great Lord's Spiritual Charm, I would still be confused.
Could it be that there was no success there either?
Lang Wu felt a little puzzled.
Li Wenyuan, who was sitting cross-legged, looked at him with a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, but quickly restrained himself and said in a cold voice, "Why did you fail?"
"Li Yan is wandering outside the Qingyang Palace..."
Lang Wu quickly told the story.
"That's Flower God Parade."
Li Wenyuan is worthy of being a person who once ascended to the gods. He has extraordinary experience and quickly guessed the whole story. He said solemnly, "That dragon Jurchen has a connection with the flower god. I use its incense to reunite the soul."
"This method should be informed by Dragon Girl."
Lang Wu gritted his teeth and said, "God Lord, is there any remedy?"
"Wishful thinking."
Li Wenyuan said coldly, "Jiang God Great Lord is still alive. It should have been replaced by Dragon Girl many years ago, but it was revived by me with the help of secret methods. Now it is a done deal and there is no chance again."
"This..."
Lang Wu After listening, his face became even more ugly.
Suddenly, he felt a chill in his heart and turned to look out the window.
But I saw the sound of heavy footsteps outside the hospital, the door creaked open, and a person walked into the hospital, wearing a yellow brocade dragon robe and a crown on his head.
Exactly "King of Shu" Xiao Qipan.
He looked at the dark room, with no expression on his old face, and said calmly, "Friend Daoist Li, I have already said that this method will not work. I wonder if you are still willing to cooperate with me now?"
When Li Wenyuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the Datong bunk, heard this, his eyes were filled with uncertainty. After waiting for a long time, he slowly got up and walked out of the room.
In the wind and snow, the two faced each other indifferently.
"King of Shu" Xiao Qipan suddenly smiled and waved slightly, "Everyone, please move a hundred steps away. Anyone who dares to eavesdrop will be killed without mercy!"
Wow!
After giving the order, the surrounding soldiers immediately left.
Lang Wu frowned and turned to look at Li Wenyuan.
"You go too!"
Li Wenyuan looked cold and nodded.
"Yes, Lord God."
Lang Wu carefully handed over the cloth bag and then left.
After leaving the small courtyard, he also walked a hundred steps away, looking at the soldiers glaring around him, snorting coldly, his eyes full of gloom.
He knew the identities of the two people inside.
One is a famous alchemist from the Qin Dynasty who lurked in the world and reincarnated several times with great plans...
One is on <"Biographies of Divine Immortals">, a disciple of the mysterious Nine Doubts Mountain alchemist Shen Wentai, who became a god and became an immortal, but secretly descended to earth...
The two cooperated at first, and then fell out.
There must be a huge secret in it.
It's a pity that he has been through life and death, and it is still difficult to trust him.
Thinking of this, Lang Wu felt filled with unwillingness...
In the yard, "King of Shu" Xiao Qipan suddenly made his hand gestures, his facial features, muscles and bones were distorted, and his appearance changed, turning into a thin man, without any trace of his previous appearance.
It is the true face of the alchemist Lu Sheng in the late Qin Dynasty.
"It's better to be honest with fellow Daoists."
He smiled slightly and his temperament became refined.
When Li Wenyuan saw this, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, "You got Elixir of Immortality. It seems that everyone has been deceived by you."
Lu Sheng slowly raised his chest, the bones on his spine creaked, and his body became taller and taller.
He smiled calmly, "How can there be Elixir of Immortality in this world?"
"In the Kunlun Mountains back then, Queen Mother of the West was the god, King Mu of Zhou was the human, Ten Wu was the medium, and all the legends were just symbols of the Celestial Person road."
"Since Da Yu flood control, Celestial Person's road has been cut off. The next day, he asked for spirit medicine, but he didn't even benefit from it. It gave Chang'e an advantage..."
"What I got, Elixir of Immortality, is nothing more than the aftertaste of the wilderness, which can make me rejuvenate and reborn."
"Mortal people don't know it, but Daoist friends must know it."
Li Wenyuan said coldly, "I promised you at the beginning that you would give it to me when you found it. If I ate it, why would I be in such a mess?"
Lu Sheng laughed dumbly, "Didn't fellow Daoist break the contract first?"
"Hmph!"
Li Wenyuan snorted coldly, "What you are going to do is not the original arrangement, why do you need to quibble with me?!"
"Hahaha..."
Lu Sheng laughed wantonly, shook his head slightly, and sighed, "Fellow Daoist Li has been in the human world for so many years, and he should have found out that Cheng JianXin had glimpsed the way to ascend to the gods, and would rather destroy his own way than become an immortal."
"If this road is really good, why would he be like this?"
"Your method is just repeating the same mistakes. Why don't you follow my path and replace it?"
Li Wenyuan heard this, his face was full of ridicule, "Where did you get the courage?"
"With no way to retreat, I naturally have the courage."
Lu Sheng's eyes were a little playful, "Young Daoist Li is now a fugitive from heaven. Thunder Department will definitely send people to arrest you. Do you think those people will really be your guarantee?"
"This Human Path revolution is our opportunity."
"Isn't this an opportunity for fellow Daoists?"
Li Wenyuan After hearing this, his eyes suddenly became uncertain.
In the end, he gritted his teeth, took out the Bronze Nuo Mask from the rag bag, and said solemnly, "If your plan goes wrong, someone will come to stop it. When Dragon Girl replaces Jiang God Great Lord, the Dragon Palace can be broken open."
"This thing can be used to deal with Erlang and make it faint..."
"Also, Xiao Jinghong's wife has been cursed by me, which can infect Shu King Residence Attendant's secular god and speed up the progress..."
"Hahaha."
A smile appeared on Lu Sheng's face, "I knew that fellow Daoists had a backup plan. Today I will wait for the treasure to be left and then join other fellow Daoists."
Li Wenyuan nodded, there was still some hesitation in his eyes.
"If you do this, I'm afraid the consequences will be too great..."
"Fellow Daoist, you are joking."
Lu Sheng looked calmly and looked at the foggy sky, "Heaven and earth are unkind, all living beings are just ants."
"Mortal life is like morning dew. We will eventually die. What does it have to do with us?"
Soon after, the two walked out of the small courtyard again.
Lu Sheng has transformed back into King of Shu, leading his troops and Li Wenyuan to the front of the hall.
I saw two towering altars erected in the square ahead.
On an altar, Netherworld Stage is shrouded in black mist. Situ Qian has changed back to the appearance of Ghost Zhong Kui, holding a Law Sword magic umbrella, stepping backwards and performing a sinister show...
On the other altar was Zhao Jie, who had escaped before. He was wearing a black robe, with disheveled hair, a compass in his hand, and his eyes fixed on the sky, full of expectation...
Outside Chengdu Prefecture, Li Yan and others came to the edge of the thick fog.
"Okay, you can leave from here!"
Sha LiFei pointed forward and shouted loudly.
Behind them, there were thousands of people, all of whom were Chengdu Prefecture people who had participated in the wandering gods before.
Although their faces were pale, they finally regained consciousness and looked around with horror on their faces.
Hearing Sha LiFei's words, some people took a few steps hesitantly, but saw that the surrounding scene suddenly changed. The night wind was slightly cold, there was no thick fog and strong wind, and even the flying snow had stopped.
When I turned around, I saw a vast expanse of white behind me.
More and more people left, crying with joy and kneeling on the ground.
"Immortal Elder~"
In the team, an old man suddenly knelt on the ground and begged with tears on his face, "All my relatives are still in the city..."
"Please Immortal Elder save me and my family!"
After hearing this, many people knelt on the ground.
"Don't worry, everyone, let's go quickly."
Li Yan looked solemn and nodded slightly.
To be honest, with Chengdu looking like this, he didn't have much confidence.
At this moment, his ears moved slightly and he smiled.
Woof woof woof!
In the distant wind and snow, countless dogs barked.
On the snow, there are dense plum blossom footprints...
