From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 410: God of Destiny and God of Kitchen

Fishtail Peak, a three-tiered earthen platform.

Above the altar and incense table, golden light continuously burst out from the flour bowl, pushing out a piece of straw, and the straw continuously emitted a bloody smell.

The smell was as strong as a battlefield, with hundreds of corpses being chopped down and bleeding. The smell was pungent, but also had a sweet taste.

It's like the mouth and nasal cavity are filled with grease, which makes people want to vomit, but there is nothing in the stomach, so they can only dry heave.

Yu Shuyang could feel from the side that this was the bloody bad luck that was stained on the body of the sixth sister. She was a soldier in Beixuan Prefecture and was promoted to a lieutenant general with a tiger spear. She must have walked through mountains of swords and seas of corpses.

The bad luck of blood sin, military evil and the power of Uranus have only benefits and no harm to each other, and have no effect on life or cultivation.

But Yu Tienan wanted to have a child, so he had to cleanse the blood and bad luck on his body, so as to resolve the luck of premature death brought by the Aries star.

The God of Life of Tianfu Star, whose surname is Yang and name is Duo, wears a green robe and holds a spear in his hand. This is the star god who responded to Li Taiping's memorial.

The six stars of the Southern Dipper and the seven stars of the Northern Dipper are both big stars. The star gods in the star palaces within them are not just one, but often multiple gods coexist in the same star palace.

For example, the Wenqu Star God who has a connection with Yu Shuyang is just Xuanming Wenqu of Tianquan Mansion. People like Guiyin Wenhua have never sent down any spiritual response.

The god of destiny, Yang Duo, kept waving his spear, attracting the incense and money in the bowl. As the incense and money were consumed, they turned into golden rays of destiny.

Under the flushing of golden light, drops of blood and bad luck kept dripping from the thatch. These blood and bad luck mixed with the flour in the bucket and instantly turned into black filth.

The bloody and foul stench of blood and sin exploded from the altar in an instant, making Yu Shuyang want to retch. Even a sixth-grade monster could not withstand this feeling.

Li Taiping has a burly ox-like body, and is covered with the Beidou Tiangang blanket, which attracts the divine power of the nine stars of the Beidou from time to time. Blood and foul air cannot get close to him at all.

He picked up a candlestick, took out a stack of yellow talisman paper, lit a talisman paper on the candlestick, and threw one into the flour bucket.

Before he could finish burning the talisman paper in his hand, the flour bowl was ignited. He smelled the burning firewood, and then bursts of smoke rose.

The smoke from cooking purifies the bad luck and filth of blood, so that the altar will not be filled with stench, which will make the spirits sent by the God of Life uncomfortable and will inevitably be contaminated over time.

Waves of smoke rose from the flour bowl, and the thatch floating on the flour bowl turned from white to red, until it became the color of cinnabar, and no longer dripped blood and bad luck.

The incense, money and coins in the flour bowl also disappeared. The spiritual response from the Tianfu Star God spread a green light, which landed on the vermilion thatch and turned into a golden pattern in the shape of a longevity peach.

Li Taiping then began to chant and praise, respectfully sending the Tianfu Star God back to the starry sky. The chanting sounded like the clear sound of a crane, floating back and forth in the vast sky.

The altar ceremony should have ended when a faint golden light was seen falling and hitting the half-burned dough bowl, from which smoke continued to drift.

"Junior brother, what is this?"

Yu Shuyang didn't know much about rituals, but he could feel the power of the stars. He had just chanted the name of the god and sent him back to the starry sky, so why did he receive another spiritual response?

Li Taiping stood in human form, with a wooden horn on his head and a peach wood scepter supported by an ox hoof. He also stared at the smoke for a long time before he spoke.

"Brother, this is the Kitchen God sensing the smoke and sending down a divine thought to refine the flour bowl.

The Siming God and the Kitchen God belong to the same family of destiny gods, so they might also sense the altar offerings."

Li Taiping himself was a little confused. The Kitchen God was one of the Five Sacrificial Gods, along with the Door God, the Well God, the Household God, and the Middle Flow God. He was considered the God of the House and the People.

However, because of the stove fire and cooking smoke, the Kitchen God also had interactions with gods such as the God of Fire and the God of Wind. Later, he was included in the system of gods and had the duty of evaluating and recording merits and demerits.

As the smoke dissipated, the flour bowl appeared again, turning into a small black jar. It looked as if it had been painted black, and its surface was black and shiny.

Li Taiping reached out hurriedly, took the red jade-like straw in his hand, and said, "What a close call! What a close call! Why did the Kitchen God send such an evil pot?
Fortunately, the thatch didn't fall into it, otherwise, the spell I just cast would have been wasted."

The Kitchen God has two magical tools, named the Good Pot and the Evil Pot. When he examines the merits and demerits of the people's homes, he puts beans into the pots. If there are more beans in the Good Pot, he will bless them; if there are more beans in the Evil Pot, he will bring disaster.

There is a folk saying: The evil jar is full, which refers to the Kitchen God's assessment of merits and demerits.

When Yu Shuyang picked up the evil jar, he felt that it was extremely heavy, as if it weighed several thousand pounds, unlike the weight of the wooden bowl before.

"Junior brother, is this considered a divine weapon?"

Li Taiping landed on all fours, regaining his ox-like stance, and shook his head, saying, “Without the support of the divine origin, it can only be considered a divine weapon.

If we give it to the Kitchen God Temple, perhaps it can be refined into an incense-burning artifact. In our hands, it would be like throwing a pearl into the dark."

Li Taiping and Yu Shuyang do not practice Shintoism, so the evil jar is really useless in their hands.

"Oh, it's better to have it than not. It's a gift from the Kitchen God. When I meet Li Zhen, I can give it to him. Maybe he can use it." Yu Shuyang said with a smile while holding the evil jar.

Li Taiping didn't take it seriously. He handed the scarlet straw to Yu Shuyang and said, "Give this to Sixth Sister and let her wear it close to her body. It carries the blessing of the God of Life."

The ritual just now had cleared away all the bad luck from Yu Tienan's blood, and the God of Life had sent down a divine seal to balance the evil spirit of the Aries star, making it easier for her to conceive and have children.

Yu Shuyang took the straw and said to Li Taiping, "Junior brother, thank you for your hard work. I'll have to trouble you to go back to Hushan Island and collect some of the formations on the island.

We'll have to move there soon. By then, we'll have to connect the cave to Tiger Mountain Island, and we'll have to discuss this with the gods Shentu and Yulei. How about you help me make the trip?"

Li Taiping's eyes widened like a pair of copper bells, and he couldn't help but gasp for breath, muffled voice said: "Brother, I just got here and I'm helping to open the altar to perform rituals. Before I even have a break, I'm assigned another job.

"Brother, is this what a farmhand in a landlord's house is supposed to be like? Do you think I'm a workhorse?"

Yu Shuyang was embarrassed by what he said, and said with shame: "Junior brother, I am also thinking about you. If you return to Hushan Island, you won't have to run around anymore. You can focus on your cultivation from now on."

Li Taiping remained unmoved. He simply didn't believe it and asked with a smile, "Brother, honestly, how much of this is true? How much is false?"

Yu Shuyang patted his chest and assured, "I guarantee this with my integrity. It's 100% true. Don't worry, Junior Brother."

The cultivation of the Si beast takes a lot of time. It has always been in seclusion in deep mountains and valleys, and it will be at least decades at a time. Among their fathers and grandfathers, Li Taiping's experience over the years can definitely be described as "lively and active."

"The magical honey and flower honey on Hushan Island, and the morning dew in the purple bamboo forest, have all been stored for a long time.

And over in the farmland and orchards, the Sandy Pigs have brewed a lot of fruit wine and grain wine, but they've all been there and haven't been touched."

Seeing his junior brother's disbelief, Yu Shuyang busied himself with cursing and trying to appease him. He knew that Li Taiping had refined a Beidou Yangyuan Gourd specifically for refining the "Eternal Life Wine." "Hmph! I'll trust you for once, Senior Brother. You asked me to go find the two Peach Gods, but do you have any excuse?"

Li Taiping no longer used divination to communicate with his senior brother. To be honest, he and Yu Shuyang had been getting along very well since they came to Donghai. Even though they were running around all the time, he didn't feel angry.

More importantly, they had been separated for a long time, and seeing Yu Shuyang promoted from the ninth rank to the sixth rank, he felt quite depressed, but he was just venting his emotions through other excuses.

Yu Shuyang thought for a moment. He had previously thought that the two Taodu gods had been leaving the Taodu Mountain Islands unattended. If he went over to talk to them, he thought there would be no obstacle in building the Demon Fairy City.

However, he really didn't think about the excuse. In his opinion, this was an easy thing to do.

"Junior brother, I've dealt with Shen Tu before, so I have some ties with him. Would you like me to write a letter and you can give it to him for me?"

While Yu Shuyang was speaking, he took out a pen and paper and gave a brief account of the construction of the Demon Fairy City, focusing on the matter of the earth veins. At the end, he asked Shen Tu whether he could agree to this.

"Junior brother, I think the two ghosts and gods will not stop us. Their foundation is the same as that of ghosts and gods, and they have never interfered with the affairs of the earth veins."

As Yu Shuyang spoke, he put the letter into an envelope and handed it to his junior brother Li Taiping.

"Brother, have you ever thought about the Taodushan Islands? Even if the two ghost gods can agree, will the demons and immortals of the islands agree?

What kind of people were they originally? They fled from the inland of Kyushu and would rather be harassed by demons and ghosts at night than be controlled by the five islands of Yazhou.

I think you need to consider this, brother." Li Taiping put himself in his shoes and offered advice.

The Yu family does not have any third-grade demon immortals, nor is it as prominent as the eight immortal cities, so there will inevitably be some ignorant people jumping out.

Yu Shuyang nodded and said, "Junior brother, don't worry about this matter. I have a plan."

He had already considered the demons and fairies in the Desolate Sea. Not only that, there was also the Marquis of Beihai sent by the Dragon Palace. Hai Damu's mistress was killed by him, and the business of the Desolate Sea Market was also given to him.

It seems that Hai Damu will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble, and there may be another fight. This is exactly what Yu Shuyang wants. How can he establish his authority in the desolate sea without revealing his means?

When Li Taiping heard his senior brother say this, he stopped talking, bowed slightly, and went down the mountain directly.

On this side, Yu Shuyang held the pitch-black evil jar in one hand and the red jade-like straw in the other, and turned back to the eternal blessed land.

He did not dare to delay along the way and went straight to the Eastern Spiritual Field and came to the Yi Wood Cage where Chen Tu cast a spell.

Yu Shuyang used his spiritual power to cast a spell and took back the Chentu real sand. Green soil sand the size of soybeans fell into his palm.

Without the support of real earth, the Yi wood cage and the power of Qinglong Shaoyang all disappeared. Yu Tienan and Shu Qing woke up one after another without absorbing any magic power.

"Sixth sister, my junior brother has already started a ritual and asked the God of Destiny on the Tianfu Star to bring you great fortune. Wear this item close to your body, and your wishes will surely come true."

Yu Shuyang handed over the vermilion thatch.

"Ninth brother, you know what, I really feel a lot more relaxed now, and I don't feel tired at all." Yu Tienan took the thatch with a smile.

"Husband, let's go, time is running out."

As Yu Tienan was talking, he lifted up Shu Qing, who hadn't reacted yet. This made Shu Qing blush. He glanced at Yu Shuyang and said rather awkwardly, "Madam, my ninth brother is still here!"

Yu Shuyang was also frightened by Sixth Sister, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Sixth Sister, I'm going to go see what our parents are doing."

After saying this, Yu Shuyang ran away. He didn't know where Yu Mother and Yu Father were, so he flew out of the gate of the blessed land.

Only when he stood still by the pool did he feel less embarrassed. He hadn't expected that his Sixth Sister had become so tough in her words and deeds after all these years in the army.

After he had relaxed a little, he prepared to look around Changliu Mountain. Ever since Yu Fu had overcome the tribulation, the mountain protection formation had been broken, and he had not yet repaired it. Several parts of the formation were severely damaged.

Yu Shuyang originally thought that he would rearrange the bronze statues of the Yuanchen Zodiac according to the changes in the mountain terrain, at least to prevent the situation from happening again, where the little demons risked their lives to fill the formation and forcibly broke the formation.

These days, considering the relocation of the cave and blessed land, he did not sort out the formation restrictions anymore, thinking that he would rearrange the formation after moving to Hushan Island.

Just as Yu Shuyang was considering whether to reorganize the formation, two flying talismans arrived one after another, one from Li Zhen and the other from Chimei.

Yu Shuyang first crushed Li Zhen’s flying talisman and listened to his voice transmission.

"Cousin, Elder Mu came to see me yesterday and told me to be the young patriarch of his family. He said a lot of nice things to me and mentioned his marriage to Lingge.

What do you think I should do? Are they trying to win me over?

Li Zhen didn't say much, and his words were mostly filled with doubts. Yu Shuyang could guess what his concerns were, which were nothing more than the conflict between him and the Mu family, and he was afraid of being caught in the middle and having a hard time.

Yu Shuyang crushed the flying talisman of Chimei again and listened to his voice transmission.

"Master Yu, I have already agreed with General Hainiu that he will personally move the cave. When will you be free?"

The message from the Red Eyebrow Patriarch was very polite, and Yu Shuyang could hear the sincerity in his tone, just like the tone of Uncle Mo's usual speech, giving the impression of a loyal servant.

Yu Shuyang first sent a flying talisman to Li Zhen, telling him not to worry about anything and to just become the young patriarch of the Mu family.

According to his original plan, the Red Eyebrow Patriarch failed to survive the tribulation in two years and was struck to death by heavenly thunder. Li Zhen used the matters of his son-in-law and trade routes to gradually influence the Mu family and then embezzled the Mu family's property.

Now, the Mu family has taken the initiative to offer the title of "Young Clan Leader". Regardless of whether he has real power or not, he will be able to directly take over the Mu family in the future.

Thinking of this, Yu Shuyang thought about Yu's Noodle House again. Should he hold on to his shares for the time being? He just didn't know if Yu Mu had sent the message.

He sent another flying talisman to Chimei, agreeing on a time to move the cave abode to the blessed land. Yu Shuyang then remembered that he had not yet told Shuxian Shuihouzi.

Originally, he had envisioned that the Yu family, the Li family, and Taoliu Fudi would move away together.

As a result, the No Return Cave at Qianzhang Cliff was given to Li Li, and Zhu Sanniang integrated the blessed land into the Spider Web Mountain and Water Silk Cave. However, because of concerns for the six branches of the Zhu family, they could not move to the Desolate Sea.

Yu Shuyang took out another flying talisman and gave it to Shuxianshui Monkey, asking him if he was willing to move to the desolate sea. It seemed that he was willing.
