If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 313 Natural Disasters and Destiny

In the end, Xiaoyu was unable to save even one of his "godfathers" who had been bound by the chains of the reincarnation master.

“In the past, perhaps there might be some leniency, but today, the Heaven and the Underworld are acting together, and who should die and who should live has already been determined.

As the saying goes, if the King of Hell wants someone to die at three o'clock in the morning, who dares to keep him alive until five o'clock?
When the King of Hell crosses out a person, that person dies in Tianmen Town; when the Heavenly Palace talisman messenger checks the "Heavenly Book of Good and Evil", the ghost messenger from the underworld immediately takes the soul away, and no one dares to make a mistake. "

Chi Miao pointed at the ghosts on the chains and said, "Some of them don't even have to go to the Hades Palace, but go directly to the Naihe Bridge to wait for reincarnation.

For their judgment had already begun and ended before their death.”

Xiao Yu said: "I saved a lot of people tonight."

She turned her head and looked around. Although the fire was not completely extinguished, the block where she had put out the fire before did not catch fire again.

In fact, even if the fire disaster spreads back, it will not kill people.

People are not wooden stakes, they can move and run.

Having just experienced a fatal fire and been saved by the "God of Fire", how could they dare to stay at home and wait for the fire to spread back?
Now they are crowded in the open space on the street.

"Mom, you are a mortal, not a ghost from the underworld, nor a god from heaven. It is your destiny to save people." Chi Miao said in an uncertain tone.

"At least the Lord of Fire will not bother you again, as long as you behave yourself and don't use 'Lord of Fire' to put out fires."

Xiaoyu waved her hand, "You can go."

She saw the dog meat Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest didn't find her, but he did find the sword inserted into the bluestone slab.

At this moment, he was peeking around the Qiao Shi Sword, whispering "Yu Fengxian" and "Xiao Fengxian".

"What's your name?" After sending his ghost son away, Xiao Yu shuttled through the ghost road like a ghost and came to the old Taoist.

"You..." The old Taoist looked at her in surprise, "Why do you look so good? I thought you were paralyzed and unable to move."

He saw with his own eyes the real God Huo Lu slap the fake God Huo Lu to pieces.

He knew she would not die, but he was worried that her soul would be severely damaged.

The original body fainted in a corner and was burned to death in the fire, so he ran over to find her in a panic.

"I'm lucky. My son is on business nearby." Xiao Yu quickly recounted the story of Chi Miao's promotion.

“Alas, this was a premeditated natural disaster, and the great god Huo Lu himself admitted it.

In fact, I should have been alert when Chi Miao came to me in the first half of the night.

He said he came to Tianmen Town to do some work, but isn't it that the mission of a reincarnation messenger is to lure people to hell?

But I was so happy for him at the time that I didn’t react.”

The old Taoist was silent for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice: "I knew there would be a disaster tonight."

"How early?" Xiaoyu was not surprised.

Both she and Xiaoqiang felt uneasy. The old Taoist must have already figured out some of the secrets.

"I had a vague premonition a few months ago." The old Taoist priest said bitterly, "But knowing it is useless. The fate is already determined."

"What, you knew it in just a few months?"

She was not surprised that the old Taoist priest could see the secrets of heaven in advance, but she could
Her heart moved, and she suddenly remembered something, "Is it after the gamble of God's will at the Yamen Gate?"

The old Taoist priest said in a muffled voice: "The laws of heaven are strict. If we strictly follow the laws of heaven to judge the good and evil deeds of all living beings, most people will be guilty.

Without a thorough investigation, nothing will happen.

Once investigated, everyone may be a sinner and deserve to be punished by God.

Tianmen Town is just the beginning.

In the next few years, it will be the turn of Yingxiang Prefecture, and the counties in eastern Shu may eventually spread to several nearby vassal states.

It won’t always be a fire disaster, but it will always be a ‘natural disaster’.”

Seeing Xiaoyu's gloomy face, he sighed softly and said, "You don't have to have any psychological burden.

This matter seems to be related to you, but in fact you are just a link in the complex chain of cause and effect, not the original cause. "

Xiao Yu looked up and glanced at him, "You don't have to explain it so clearly. The gods are still here, and the talisman envoy has never left."

The old Taoist priest looked at her strangely and said, "I'm only telling you this, I won't tell anyone else a word.

You seem to have jumped out of fate, and changing your destiny is as easy as eating and drinking.

The more we struggle, the deeper we sink.”

Xiaoyu bent down, grasped the hilt of the Qiao Shi sword, activated the pure Yang sword energy, and "pulled it up by the roots" with a "swish".

"If it weren't for its protection, my 'Lord of Fire' would have died directly. How could I change my fate if I had lost my life?"

Xiao Yu was a little surprised. Not only did the Qiao Shi sword not twist or deform, but the blade became noticeably "clearer" after being tempered in the fierce fire: before, the blade was snow-white iron, but now the sword body was turning into glass, with a translucent texture, and there was flames flowing inside, which should be related to the talisman of the God of Fire left in the sword.

The fire pill was blown up, but the Fire God Talisman remained.

"You almost died and it has nothing to do with changing your fate. You died because you asked for it."

Taoist Dog Meat looked at her with eyes that looked like he was looking at a "brain-crushing" person, and asked in confusion: "You must know that he is the Great God Huo Lu, so why are you still provoking him?"

"I'm not provoking him. I'm just ignorant. I know that the Dragon King can create clouds and rain, but I don't know that there are also gods who can cause disasters."

This is not true, but it is not entirely false either.

The first time she saw the fire god, she immediately determined through the aura of divine power that the fire in Tianmen Town came from him.

At that time, she was furious, but she was frightened by the other party's tremendous power and was afraid of death, so she dared not attack. She could only provoke him and let him activate the Great Destroyer.

If she could beat him, she would just stab him with the sword. Why bother provoking him?
Of course, she was very angry at the time and did not understand the principle of disaster prevention. She just thought that the gods were doing whatever they wanted and harming people at will.

Now that she understood the basic principles of disaster prevention, she still did not quite agree with it, but her anger had lessened a lot - her anger towards the Lord Huo Lu had lessened, after all, he was just a "disaster god", not the one who dictated the laws of nature.

"Stop talking nonsense. The fire is still burning and someone is howling in the fire. What should we do?" Xiaoyu asked.

The old Taoist priest stared into her eyes and asked softly, "You were just slapped by the God of Fire. Aren't you afraid?"

"Under natural disasters, is this all mortals can do?" Xiao Yu said.

"Aren't the streets crowded with people trying to put out the fire? There are ordinary people and warriors."

The old Taoist priest said quietly, "But believe it or not, we may even hear news tomorrow morning that a strong man close to being a human immortal was burned to death."

Xiaoyu's expression changed slightly.

There was no need to wait until tomorrow morning, as she was now certain that her "godfather", who was close to being an immortal, had died in the fire tonight.

The exact cause of death is unclear, but the other party did disappear from the Great Destruction of Fathers.

Moreover, she had seen the ghosts of Yun Zhongfeihe and Sun Haizhou with her own eyes before.

They are far from being immortals, but they are also considered experts in the martial arts world.

If it was just an ordinary fire, Yun Zhongfeihe and Sun Haizhou would definitely not die with their skills.

But they are already dead.

They did not die in the fire, but died of "fate".

The old Taoist sighed, "When encountering a 'natural disaster', not only can mortals struggle, but immortals can also intervene, but the power of heaven is unpredictable. If heaven wants to kill people, what you have to fight against is not the 'disaster', but the 'heaven'.

If you are in the calamity, there is no escape.

No matter how strong you are, disasters will always prevail over you and make sure you "follow fate".

If you are not in the midst of a catastrophe, but you interfere with it, like tonight—"

The old Taoist paused for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Do you know that you have changed the fate of many people?"

Xiao Yu said: "Others can rescue disaster victims, why can't I? When others rescue disaster victims, it is a destiny, but when I save people, it is a destiny change."

The old Taoist priest asked: "After the fire broke out, where were you first? How did you put out the fire?"

"In Soy Sauce Lane, at Widow Huang's house, we used the Black Fish Demon God to bring rain, but the effect was too poor." Xiao Yu said.

The old Taoist priest asked again: "Why didn't you save Hongxiufang?"

Xiao Yu shook her head and said with a smile, "No need. That day, I used the Conferred God List to confer titles on 28 goddesses. Hongxiufang built a shrine for them in the backyard and worshipped them day and night. Now the gods have responded."

The old Taoist nodded slightly and said, "This is destiny! They saved Hongxiufang, and you saved Huang Guafu. It was all arranged by God."

Xiao Yu looked puzzled, "They are both saving people, what's the difference?"

The old Taoist priest asked, "I have never seen you use the Huo Lu Zhu Shen before. When did you realize this? Have you used it before?

Why didn't they use the more effective Huo Lu Lord God to bring rain in the beginning, but instead used the Demon God to bring rain?"

Xiao Yu frowned and said, "I didn't expect it at first. The Huo Lu Sword was just created and has never been used. I didn't expect it to be so effective."

The old Taoist's eyes gleamed, and he whispered, "It's just like betting on fate at the government gate, where you suddenly use the pure Yang sword energy and suddenly break the magic formation?
You are born with innate wisdom, and you comprehend wisdom that you should not comprehend out of thin air, so that "God" cannot know the Lord of Fire in advance, so you break your destiny.

You are really extraordinary. Twice in a row, even God cannot figure out your true nature."

Now the old Taoist priest understood everything.

He suddenly realized that his fate had changed after the appearance of the Lord of Fire.

God did not predict that her Lord Huo Lu could control the disaster of fire so well, so he did not prepare to control the disaster of her Lord Huo Lu.

Why did a powerful person who was half a step away from becoming a human immortal die in a natural disaster?
Because even God knows their methods.

He can always arrange a "fate" that even human immortals cannot deal with with all their means, and make them suffer disasters.

Xiaoyu remained expressionless, but her heart was in turmoil: Oh no, even a "mortal" like the old Taoist priest has noticed something unusual. How could that bastard Jade Emperor not notice the pattern if she has done it again and again?

"I just participated in the extermination of ghosts in Guaizi Mountain, didn't you know?" She looked puzzled, "Before the extermination of ghosts began, I discussed various Taoist methods such as fire magic and thunder magic with the heroes of Shudong.

Among them, fire and thunder are the key points, because fire and thunder can restrain ghosts. "

The old Taoist priest looked at her deeply and said, "I'm not sure, but God must know.

God has determined that it is almost impossible to deduce the 'Lord of Fire' from the knowledge you have gained from the 'Fire Law Seminar'."

——You are right. The birth of “Lord Huo Lu” mainly depends on the “method of killing Sui Yuanzi by force”.

God knows about the fire law seminar, but he doesn’t know about Da Mie Ba.

Xiaoyu sighed inwardly, this world has too many strict rules.

All living beings do not live under a camera, but under a microscope, and no "unexpected" things are allowed to happen.

However, Taoist Dog Meat also reminded her tonight: in the future, as long as she does not target super bosses like the Emperor of Heaven, the Three Pure Ones, and the Buddha, the secret techniques she derived from the method of killing cannot be deduced only in the Purple Mansion, but must be practiced several times in reality, and it would be best if there is a complete derivation process so that "God" can see it, so as to avoid "God" being surprised again.

“You don’t understand, the deduction of the Lord of Huilu was not successful in one go.

In fact, in the process of putting out fires, I constantly gained new insights, and various coincidences came together, and I finally became the 'God of Fire'."

Xiaoyu was very glad that this explanation was not perfunctory, but contained a large part of the truth.

Then, she recounted the entire process, how the great god Huo Lu devoured the disaster fire, how he accidentally condensed the fire energy into a fire pill, and how he accidentally used the power of people's incense and wishes to condense Shinto talismans.

"This..." The old Taoist was stunned for a long time, and said, "Are you the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven? You are so lucky."

"As long as the Emperor of Heaven is willing to accept me, I have no objection at all." Xiao Yu said loudly.

"Why are you so loud?"

They originally gathered together to talk in whispers, all speaking in low voices for fear of being overheard by others.

She suddenly shouted at the top of her voice, which scared the old Taoist priest.

——Speak louder so that the bastard Emperor of Heaven can hear you.

Xiao Yu cleared her throat and said, "I was choked by the thick smoke coming from the street, and my throat is not feeling well."

"You are most likely destined to be born in heaven, and you are blessed by heaven!" said the old Taoist priest seriously.

"I've become such a wretch that even gods and immortals hate me, how can I still be favored by heaven?"

The old Taoist priest groaned and said, “The gods are just trying to represent the will of heaven, but they are not equal to the will of heaven.

Sometimes gods will go against God's will.

If I'm not mistaken, it's not an accident that you condensed the fire pill and the Shinto talisman.

The fire pill can be condensed because the fire disaster today is not a natural fire, but a disaster fire from the gods.

You gain fire energy from the disaster fire, which is equivalent to stealing the divine power of the great god Huo Lu.

And you have stolen the form of Lord Huo Lu, and you have also stolen the faith of all living beings in him.

For a moment, heaven and earth regarded you as the real God of Fire, and thus Shinto talismans were born.

Alas, any deity that is related to humanity and needs incense and prayers to maintain its existence is always easily influenced by the believers themselves. "

Xiaoyu felt that what the old Taoist said made sense.

"There were fires everywhere, how can you say it was stolen? I worshipped the great god Huo Lu, and visualized his appearance as the main god of martial arts. Everyone does this. The victims knelt down and worshipped me, and they were not wrong. It was indeed me who saved them.

I used the identity of the God of Fire to rescue the disaster victims, and I was earning fame for the God. "

The old Taoist waved his hand and said, "I'm not saying you did something wrong. I'm saying this is all God's will."

"Then according to God's will, should I still put out the fire now?" Xiaoyu asked.

(ps: Not only the gods are trying to represent the will of heaven, but also the Emperor of Heaven, the saints, and even the ancestor Hongjun are all trying, and it is not completely equal to the "will of Pangu world".

The reason why Xiaoyu was not regarded as an alien by "Heaven's Way" was that the author had cheated for her, but the author did not lower the intelligence of the top bosses. It was purely because she was truly the "Child of Heaven".

Her soul and her plug-in - Zifu, are both "natives" of the Pangu world. They are original things, not foreign "foreign objects".

Xiao Yu’s soul was born into the Xisha Region through the Kunlun Mirror.

She thought of herself as a stowaway, but in fact, the Heavenly Dao knew her origins and recognized her origins.

Not to mention the Purple Palace, a magical power born from a ray of Hongmeng purple energy. The Hongmeng purple energy is very precious, but it is not a unique thing. Every saint has it, and even every innate treasure contains one.

The 'Son of Heaven' is not just Xiaoyu's special case. The Emperor of Heaven, the Saint, Tathagata, and the future Wukong. Those who can obtain the destiny are all considered 'Sons of Heaven'.

The Son of Heaven is just beyond common sense, not beyond the way of heaven.

Of course, Xiaoyu didn’t scare herself.

The sons of heaven will also die young and be exploited.

Wukong is a typical example of someone who was born too late, exposed too early, and ended up being played around by the powerful.)
