The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 496: Northern Divine Kingdom
After the welcoming banquet, Liu Sheng accompanied his parents back to the residence of the Minister of Works.

Say something by the way.

Arriving at the small courtyard where his parents were staying temporarily, Liu Sheng finally spoke up: "Are there many people from Mobei in Xiaoluyuan now?"

Liu Ruhai smiled and said, "Not often, just come here occasionally."

"What are they doing here?"

"Come and sell some goods. After all, there are still some differences in the products on both sides. It would be good to exchange what we have."

Liu Sheng said in a deep voice: "But, I remember that Tang Kingdom and Mobei did not open a trade."

Seeing Liu Sheng being so perceptive, Ling Youlian sighed and finally said, "See, I can't hide it from my daughter!"

Liu Ruhai lamented: "It's not a good thing for a daughter to be too smart..."

"So what happened?"

"Shengsheng, these people are from the Northern Divine Kingdom." Ling Youlian said.

"The Northern Divine Kingdom?" Liu Sheng's heart sank.

Even Ling Xiaoshu, who was lying in Ling Youlian's arms, suddenly raised his head.

"I didn't expect that they really founded a country..." Liu Sheng whispered thoughtfully, "But Chang'an didn't hear any news."

Ling Youlian took over the conversation: "Of course Chang'an won't hear about it. The host doesn't want the outside world to know about it yet. He just wants to develop it for a while."

Hearing the word "host", Liu Sheng was suddenly shocked, his eyes full of disbelief.

"What's more, the general's family is still held hostage in Chang'an."

"Mom, Dad, you..." Liu Sheng's eyes widened, and an extremely clear but unbelievable fact surfaced.

Ling Youlian and Liu Ruhai looked at each other.

"We recently joined an organization called Xiaoxianglou. I don't know if you have heard of it."

"Shengsheng is a cultivator, so he should have heard about it more or less, right?" Liu Ruhai said, with anticipation flashing in his eyes, "Right, Shengsheng?"

But Liu Sheng seemed not to hear it, and his heart was in great chaos.

Seeing that Liu Sheng had not responded, the two realized that something was wrong.

Ling Xiaoshu, on the other hand, was a child and said directly, "Dad, Mom, Xiaoxiang Tower is my sister's mortal enemy!"

Suddenly, the whole place was silent.

"Shengsheng...we don't know." Liu Ruhai said cautiously, "However, this Xiaoxiang Tower is so good, how could it become a mortal enemy?"

Ling Youlian also looked at Liu Sheng with a puzzled look and deep concern.

Liu Sheng calmed down the tears in her heart, shook her head, and said as lightly as she could: "There are some things that I don't quite agree with the way they handle them."

"But, Dad, Mom, why do you think Xiaoxiang Tower is good?"

Liu Sheng was very confused. Based on her initial perception of the aura, her parents did not turn into strange people, so why would they follow Xiaoxiang Tower?

However, when Liu Sheng used the world's cultivation analysis function to sense it again, he suddenly discovered something unusual.

"Your cultivation has improved!" Liu Sheng said in surprise.

But she knew very well that both her parents' spirituality was not high, so her mother had been stuck at the third level of the initial realm for many years, and her father had not even broken through the initial realm.

How come all of a sudden, Ling Youlian became a cultivator of the sixth level of the initial realm, and Liu Ruhai also reached the third level of the initial realm?

"Yes! It's all thanks to the grace of Hades!"

Liu Ruhai had a look of gratitude on his face, and carefully made a gesture that Liu Sheng had never seen before. He folded his hands into a flame shape, and the expression on his face was unprecedentedly pious.

Even more pious than he was to the Supreme God at that time.

"Pluto, the Hades of the underworld?" Liu Sheng frowned. Liu Ruhai nodded: "Yes, he is a god who walked out of the abyss of the North after all."

"This is the god worshipped by the Northern Divine Kingdom—the King of the Underworld Abyss."

Ling Youlian added this sentence softly, and made an identical gesture after she finished speaking.

Watching his parents performing unfamiliar movements with faces full of piety and awe, Liu Sheng felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.

[Are these still our parents? ]

[I didn't expect that Xiaoxianglou's brainwashing skills were so strong that they could even pull in our parents who had stayed in Little Green Garden all their lives.]

"What's going on?" Liu Sheng suppressed his inner anxiety and continued to ask.

The couple looked at each other, and Ling Youlian said, "You don't know, there was something strange going on in Little Green Garden a few days ago."

Liu Sheng's heart suddenly trembled, and he asked hurriedly: "Didn't you hang up the Exorcism Realm?"

"It's dead! Why isn't it dead?" Liu Ruhai said, "It's a good thing you gave us the mirror, otherwise we might not even be able to come to Chang'an to see you."

Liu Sheng's heart sank. He didn't expect things to be so serious.

"At first, everyone just heard that something strange was happening again, but no one paid much attention to it. After all, there were not many outsiders in Little Green Garden, so it had always been peaceful."

"One day, someone... your Uncle Zhang's house, found a bowl of rice with two chopsticks stuck in it, pointing straight up at the sky." Liu Ruhai said, and suddenly turned around and said to Liu Sheng, "This is what you loved to do since you were a child!"

"Dad, you've told me since I was a kid that I shouldn't stick chopsticks into rice like this, but I never cared..." Liu Sheng muttered softly.

"Originally, there would be nothing wrong with what you did, but this time a real ghost appeared!" Liu Ruhai thought about it and felt scared.

"Uncle Zhang didn't take it seriously. He just felt it was unlucky and thought it was just the kids in the village making trouble. He kicked the bowl of rice to the side of the road."

"and then?"

"Oh..." Liu Ruhai couldn't continue and let out a long sigh.

Liu Sheng understood what happened after listening.

Ling Youlian was calm and said, "When he died, his mouth was full of rice, and chopsticks... were stuck in it..."

The more she spoke, the more reluctant Liu Ruhai looked.

They were all from Xiaoluyuan and knew each other very well as neighbors. When Liu Sheng was a child, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang had no daughter, so they often teased her. Later, when Liu Sheng grew up and became more and more stable, they rarely teased her anymore.

Later on, Liu Sheng left Xiaolu Garden, and naturally we rarely saw each other.

Thinking about it now, Liu Sheng only regretted that when he grew up, he always turned a blind eye to Uncle Zhang's clumsy jokes. At that time, he always had to pretend to be mature and was even reluctant to laugh.

Ling Youlian continued, "At that time, we could only hastily bury his body."

"What about the weaving institute? It's obvious that there's something weird going on. They can't just ignore it, right?" Liu Sheng felt depressed and couldn't help but ask.

Liu Ruhai snorted heavily and said, "I'm not saying anything, but I didn't expect you, Shengsheng, to work in such a cold and rigid government office. No wonder it's so hard!"

Ling Youlian shook her head and said, "Of course the county government contacted the weaving house, but the weaving house has too many cases. It is said that it will take a month to get this case. We have no choice but to wait."

"However, no one expected that this was just the beginning..."

Then, Ling Youlian and Liu Ruhai talked about how more and more people died in Xiaolu Garden in just a few days. In Liu Sheng's ears, they were all very familiar people in his memory. He didn't expect that in the future... he would never see these faces again.

"Then have you ever thought about leaving Little Green Garden?" Liu Sheng asked, feeling angry and sad. "And why didn't you... tell me?"

If Liu Sheng knew, he could rush over immediately...

Although she didn't know how strange it was, she was not weak now, maybe...

"I have thought about it. Of course I haven't thought about it." Liu Ruhai said with helplessness on his face.

"But by then, Little Green Garden had become a strange place."

Liu Sheng's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
