There is a trick

Chapter 135: Virtual Gods and Ordinary Gods (1/2)

The sky was as dark as ink.

A thin breeze blew through the gaps between the weeds and brushed past the torches on the front of the mule and horse carts.

The orange-red flames on the torches swayed and distorted in the wind.

The flames reflected the shape of the wind - long hair grew out of the invisible wind, making the invisible wind visible.

The black wind swept across the sky and earth.

Zhou Chang, Yang Rui, Xiao Zhenming and others gathered around the mule-drawn carriage. A black hair wind blew over Zhou Chang, and the thoughts covering his body vibrated with the wind, shaking off the black hair that tried to cling to his body.

From the outside, Yang Rui did not show any obvious changes in this black hair wind.

But he had actually gathered his thoughts and condensed into an 'immortal body'.

The black wind blew across his furry 'fairy body', and the hair all over his body seemed to turn into tiny arms, pushing away the black hair that was sticking to him.

He placed his hands on Shidanzi's shoulders, and his own hair spread toward Shidanzi, helping Shidanzi to resist the black hair wind.

Xiao Zhenming and the other two used the same method to resist the black wind as before. They wore talisman armors, and whenever the wind blew, they would ignite the talisman armors to burn away the black wind that tried to infect their bodies.

Bai Xiu'e walked behind Bai's father.

The lotus silk emanating from her body was almost wrapped around Bai's father into a colorless cocoon.

Even so, Father Bai was still trembling, his face full of fear.

He was originally an ordinary person. As he grew older, it was almost impossible for him to practice magic. But now he followed Zhou Chang and his companions, experienced several dangers, and was still able to survive. It was already very difficult.

"Once I get out of this den of evil, I'd better find a safe place to stay."

Father Bai had a plan in mind. He turned his head to look at Bai Xiu'e who was worried about him, and sighed in his heart.

He wanted to live with the girl, and then find a good family for her to marry off. In this way, his life would be complete. If the girl could give him a plump grandson or granddaughter, he would have no regrets even if he died on the spot.

But what is my daughter now? Can she still be considered a "human"?
She has become so weird, how can we choose a good family for her?

Moreover, she had clearly fallen in love with the man from the Zhou family in front of her—a man without any status, who had followed him all the way here, had never asked for anything, and had worked for him wholeheartedly for free—if she had not fallen in love with someone else, how could she have ended up like this?
"What they did was life-threatening, and as an old man, I can't do much to help.

Well, let them do whatever they want...

Descendants will have their own blessings..."

After experiencing all these dangers, Father Bai no longer had the physical or mental strength to keep up.

As for now, he has finally come to terms with it and decided not to insist on following his beloved daughter and taking care of her anymore - now, even if he wants to take care of his daughter, he can't, and instead has to drag her down and become a burden to her in everything.

In this case, it is time for him, as a father, to let go.

I just don’t know that Zhou Chang was a man who had died once and walked through the underworld. If his daughter can give birth but he can’t, then won’t he be able to have a grandchild in the future?

Father Bai had unknown thoughts in his mind.

Zhou Chang and others gathered together, their voices unclear in the wind.

"The black wind is blowing more and more intensely.

This may have something to do with the fact that we are gradually approaching the Black Wasteland Mountain... It may also be related to the fact that the changes in the Black Wasteland Mountain are becoming more and more serious, and the impact is spreading outward. "Zhou Chang said, "It is rumored that there is a tomb buried in the Black Wasteland Mountain.

I wonder if any of my fellow brothers have heard of this rumor?

Do you know much about it?"

Xiao Zhenming said: "We came to Black Wasteland Mountain and collected legends about the 'strange tomb' in Black Wasteland Mountain from various sources.

According to our combined rumours from various sources, a clay sculpture of a god named 'God of Plague' is buried in this 'strange tomb'.

This tomb of the clay sculpture of the god appeared in the Black Desolate Mountain at some point in time.

The mausoleum is huge and extremely eye-catching in the Black Desert Mountain.

Some extremely vicious people have tried to rob this tomb many times, but after digging it open, they could only see a clay statue of the "God of Plague" with a tablet in front of it.

Apart from this, there was no gold, silver or other treasures buried with the deceased.

After robbing a tomb, tomb robbers would often disappear not long after.

Over time, this tomb gradually became unvisited.

Later, a strong wind blew across the Black Wasteland Mountain. That wind was called the "weird wind". Many people were caught by the weird wind and became feverish and infected with plague, causing many deaths in the area.

The strange wind swept across the Black Desolate Mountain and then suddenly stopped.

Later on, the Black Wasteland Mountain gradually returned to peace, and even the history of the strange wind slowly faded away.

So some people migrated from other places to the foot of the Black Wasteland Mountain, and gradually several villages formed around the Black Wasteland Mountain. "

"Could this black hair wind that is blowing again be the strange wind that spread the great plague in the past?" Yang Rui spoke up. No one present could answer his question.

However, this gust of black hair wind was also extremely strange, and it blew out from the Black Desolate Mountain.

It is very likely that it is the "strange wind" that disappeared before, but now it is spreading again for some unknown reason. "The rumor I heard said that there is a terrifying demon buried in the tomb of Black Desolate Mountain.

Combining what you said, that terrifying demon should be the former 'Strange Wind'?" Zhou Chang frowned and thought, and said, "The strange wind swept across the Black Wasteland Mountain, but suddenly disappeared. Perhaps it is related to the 'Plague God Clay Sculpture' in the Black Wasteland Mountain."

The "sports watch" in Zhou Chang's hand today is also related to the god of plague.

It is a relic of the god of plague.

This 'God of Plague' immediately attracted Zhou Chang's attention.

"I wonder if any of you have ever heard of the story of this 'God of Plague'?

Since it has left a statue in the world, I think it has also left a legend about it?" Zhou Chang asked, "Has the divine flag of this god been captured?"

Zhou Chang thought that there would be responses to these questions as a matter of course, but they were all at a loss as to what to do and all shook their heads.

"There are many plague gods in the world, and there are also many god banners related to 'plague'.

But we have never heard of this popular god called Plague God." Xiao Zhenming said first.

Yang Rui also shook his head: "Some demons are also called 'gods' because they are too feared by living people. But even so, I have never heard of a demon being called 'plague god'."

While they were talking, Zhou Chang also asked questions to the "Dapin Xindan Jing".

The Dapin Xindan Jing also states: “It is not written in the book.”

"Perhaps it's because this secular god is too obscure, so you have never heard of him?" Zhou Chang asked doubtfully.

Xiao Zhenming, Yang Rui and others shook their heads again:
"There are more than a thousand divine banners in the sky, and tens of thousands of demons on earth."

"So, there are only about 1,200 divine banners in the sky, but there are tens of thousands of demons on earth. I don't know how many there are."

"There are 1,200 god banners. Even if one of them is obscure, it should be clearly remembered by those of us who deal with secular gods." Xiao Zhenming said, "The Plague God is not among these 1,200 god banners.

Brother Zhou does not need to worry about this. People in this world fear too much and often turn their fear into a god.

This god might have been fabricated.

Moreover, there are some gods that have suddenly appeared nowadays, who originally had no origins in the world or were fabricated by people. There is no need to pay too much attention to them.

For example, 'Emperor Guanyu', although Guan Yu was worshipped in ancestral temples of all dynasties and was given many titles of deity, he actually has no deity flag passed down in the world.

Or maybe it's 'Emperor Fengdu'.

This god is the name of a god that came from a dark mine.

Legend has it that this god controls the netherworld and hell, and controls evil spirits. If this god really existed, wouldn't all the demons in the world be wiped out? However, it has not shown its divine power, and there is no divine flag in the world. "

Xiao Zhenming's words suddenly gave Zhou Chang an idea: "The world here seems to have a causal relationship with the world I originally lived in, but in many places, they are actually quite different.

In the world he lived in before, the King of Fengdu was an extremely prominent god.

But in today's world, he is a god with only a false name, and the false name of this god came from a Yin mine area!

But in the current world, there are clearly gods like Zhong Kui who are connected to my past life..."

Zhou Chang was turning his thoughts.

Yang Rui, who was standing next to him, shook his head and said, “These gods may not be fictitious and have no power.

I heard that someone discovered the 'Guan Sheng Di Jun's Crossing Tribulation Passage Correct Method' in a Yin Mine area. This method was brought into the world by him and also shined brilliantly - if Guan Sheng Di Jun had no power and was just a 'virtual god', why would a method named after him have such power? "

"But why doesn't this Guan Sheng Emperor have his own divine flag?

Only those who have divine banners are secular gods.

Those without divine banners...it's hard to say what they are.

If everyone believed in such a 'false god', who knows how many terrifying demons would be born in the world. "Xiao Zhenming still insisted on his opinion.

Both sides insisted on their own opinions and could not convince each other.

Zhou Chang then said: "Perhaps their divine banners were left in the Yin Mine area and have not been discovered yet?"

They both fell silent after hearing this.

After a moment of silence, they all shook their heads:

“The Yin Mine has been excavated for decades, and no one has ever found the sacred flag of a secular god in it.

Although this speculation is possible, it is extremely unlikely.”

“Everything in the world has a source.

We are too insignificant now. If we can improve step by step, we may be able to see its source in the future." Zhou Chang sighed, and then said, "The objects excavated from the Yin Mine may be related to the tombs in the Black Wasteland Mountain.

Maybe the clay statue of the Plague God in the mountain tomb may have come from a Yin mine area."

His speculation caused everyone to nod their heads.
