Mythology

Chapter 6 So...the allusion is Investiture of the Gods?

Yang He had met both of them, and they were among the optional identities.

The county magistrate wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Captain Song, you finally invited Carpenter Wang. The General's Mansion has urged me three or four times."

Song Kuo looked exhausted, having not slept for two days and two nights.

Carpenter Wang was so frightened that his legs felt weak as he walked.

Song Kuo was about to reply when he noticed Yang He at the entrance of the alley. "Master Yang, have you also encountered an evil spirit that makes people hang themselves?"

Carpenter Wang's thighs felt hot and some yellow water flowed out on the ground.

They could all see the extremely obvious marks of strangulation on Yang He's neck, so how could they not think of the dozen people who had hanged themselves for no apparent reason?

The county magistrate breathed heavily and looked at Yang He as if he was grasping at a life-saving straw.

After all, Yang He is the only one who encountered the evil spirit that is not dead.

Song Kuo couldn't help but look up to Yang He, even though he had previously thought that the latter was just a Taoist in name only, spending his days defrauding people of their money by posing as a Taoist priest.

The county magistrate took a quick step forward.

"Master Yang, we met yesterday when we were dealing with the hanged body of the old Liu family."

Yang He said, "Your Excellency, the commotion at the General's Mansion was really too big. To be honest, I almost died."

He got into the role very quickly, pretending to count with his fingers, "Wulian Tianzun, at least twenty people have died in the past two days."

"Yes, yes, let's talk as we walk."

County Magistrate Qian was sweating profusely and motioned the three men to follow him into the yamen.

There were very few constables in the yamen, most of whom were officers and soldiers from the general's mansion. They placed yellow talismans everywhere and ignored County Magistrate Qian.

Song Kuo also believed it to some extent, because the news of the seven people drowning in Qinghu Lake has been blocked until now. Could it be that he really underestimated Taoist Yang before?

He couldn't help but ask, "Master Yang, how do we get rid of disasters?"

The county magistrate stopped, and it happened that there were no soldiers nearby.

Yang He said calmly: "The General's Mansion is the cause of the trouble. Once they leave Cailian Town, there will naturally be no more deaths in the town, and the Three Mountain Goddesses in Qinghu Lake will be able to calm down their anger."

He emphasized the Three Mountain Goddesses, and Song Kuo no longer had any doubts.

County Magistrate Qian said in embarrassment: "Master, you don't know that although the general did not come in person, he is a powerful person..."

Yang He frowned slightly. The information on the panel about the General's Mansion was vague, and he always felt that there was something else hidden in it.

"County Master, I am also doing what I can. Can you convince the General's Mansion?"

Magistrate Qian gritted his teeth and explained, "I'm afraid it's difficult. They are from Chentang Pass. It is said that the coffin contains the third son of the general who guards the pass."

Yang Heru was struck by lightning and couldn't recover for a long time.

Chentang Pass!
What a joke! The commander of Chentang Pass is none other than Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing in Investiture of the Gods!

So the person in the coffin is... Nezha?
But why did the plot of Investiture of the Gods become so weird?
In the original work, Nezha used the Hun Tian Ling to stir the sea water while playing on the beach, which attracted Ao Bing, the third prince of the Dragon Palace.

The two sides had a disagreement, and Nezha killed Ao Bing in anger and pulled out his dragon tendons.

Later, the Dragon King went to Chentang Pass to demand punishment, and Nezha finally died to apologize.

Logically speaking, Nezha was resurrected by Taiyi Zhenren, so why was he sent here?

Wait, lotus root?
In the original work, right after Nezha died, Taiyi Zhenren told Nezha's mother in a dream to create a statue of the god, and Nezha could be resurrected if mortals worshipped him for a period of time.

As a result, the statue was smashed by Li Jing again, and Taiyi Zhenren used lotus roots to refine a body for it.

Yang He's scalp tingled, "Li Jing, Li Jing, you just act like a jerk all day long. Nezha's life or death is not something you, a mortal, can decide."

Who is Nezha?

A spiritual pearl has been passed down from generation to generation in Yuxu Palace. Yuxu Palace is the Taoist temple of Yuanshi Tianzun, and the spiritual pearl is likely to be a chess piece for the Chan sect to enter the world.

Yang He subconsciously touched the mark and found that the red silk was obviously from Nezha's magic weapon.

The famous Hun Tian Ling.

He asked, "County Master, has the general come to guard the pass?"

"Never."

County Magistrate Qian seemed to have found his backbone, and his back was no longer hunched. "It was a general under the command of the general who led the troops here."

Yang He cursed in his heart. The plot of the allusion world was too weird. But the general development should be the same. Qinghu might be the place chosen by Taiyi Zhenren. Who the hell can stop Nezha from resurrecting? !

Moreover, Nezha is filled with so much resentment that it is impossible for him to become a human again after being resurrected!

"Why are the lotus seeds in the main world related to Nezha?"

"in spite of."

Yang He immediately planned a way out for himself. He was going to die anyway, so he just ran away after getting the benefits.

"County Master, are there any instruments for performing rituals in the storehouse? My items were damaged during the fight."

"I'll ask the chief clerk to look for it. Let's go to the backyard of the government office first."

Magistrate Qian said with a sad face: "It all depends on you, Taoist Priest Yang. I hope that with you in charge of the government office, the coffin can be repaired smoothly."

Carpenter Wang was so frightened that his whole body was shaking, and his mouth was open but no sound came out.

Song Kuo led the way, holding the hilt of the knife at his waist.

When they arrived at the backyard of the yamen, they saw red lines crisscrossing all around and hundreds of yellow talismans pasted on it, making it look eerie and terrifying.

The coffin was placed in the center of the backyard, and it was as black as ink.

The longevity patterns used to decorate the coffin were replaced by talismans, and twelve strong men with vigorous energy surrounded the coffin motionlessly.

Even so, the coffin could not suppress Nezha's resentment.

A deep crack nearly went through the cover.

[Spiritual Vision: 2.6 points]

Yang He's spiritual vision began to grow again, and Nezha's evil nature far exceeded that of the Three Mountain Goddesses.

"Mr. Qian."

A low call was heard, and a general in light armor walked out from the inner room.

The generals were slightly dissatisfied, mainly because Magistrate Qian had brought outsiders with him without permission. "We didn't ask you to invite a Taoist priest, did we? The coffin contains the third son of the general's mansion. Do you want to disturb the corpse?"

"How dare you."

County Magistrate Qian was so frightened that his face turned pale and he didn't know how to explain for a moment.

"Oh?"

The general looked at Yang He and said, "So he has some Taoist teachings and has refined spiritual pupils in his body. Could he be a disciple of the Ziyang Cave in Qingfeng Mountain?"

Yang He did not reply. He had no idea what Qingfeng Mountain Ziyang Cave was.

In the main world, humans and ghosts are separated, but in the world of allusions, ghosts do not seem to be a secret. Some even call pupil ghosts "spiritual pupils", which is really weird.

The general waved his hand, "Forget it, you stay in the courtyard."

"Thank you, sir."

Yang He didn't need to activate his pupil ghost. Among all the officers and soldiers in the courtyard, at least four or five had ghosts in their bodies, and the generals' ghosts were the most ferocious.

He knew that the story told in Investiture of the Gods was not just about the change of dynasties.

There are a large number of immortals involved. Even though the battle for the gods has not yet begun, various immortals have already been teaching in secret.

For example, Li Jing’s teacher was called Du’e Zhenren.

"It is indeed the story of sealing ghosts. All the Taoist sects are ghosts."

Yang He asked respectfully, "I am Yang He, may I ask your name, sir?"

"The general gave me the surname Li Feng."

Li Feng's attitude was neither hot nor cold, but much milder than when facing County Magistrate Qian. He was probably still afraid that Yang He was a registered disciple of some immortal.

"Master Li, why do you choose to repair the coffin at night?"

Li Feng said coldly: "The Yang energy is too strong during the day. Not only can it not hold down the coffin, but it will easily scare the Third Young Master."

After saying this, he realized that Yang He was most likely a Taoist priest, and turned back to the inner room.

Yang Heyi swept the coffin and couldn't help muttering, "Since staying here can improve my spiritual vision, it would be a waste if I don't come. I might as well see the world."
