Infinity: Our Zhongzhou team is really amazing!

Chapter 468 Heaven! Goddess Luo is still carrying the team (23)

"What does this have to do with us?"

a villager asked.

"shallow!!"

"A bunch of ignorant fools!"

Zhuang Boshi said irritably, "Then the outer god is certainly not here to see you, but to see the Empress."

"What! Looking for the Empress?" Zhao En jumped to his feet, and the others followed suit.

"Why do you want to see the Empress?" Zhao En asked, his face pale.

"He has a heaven, located in the highest heavens, but he is surrounded by angels who are neither male nor female."

"He is an old man who has lived for thousands of years. His children have all grown up. At this age, he just wants to find a companion."

Zhuang Boshi said angrily, "He wants to kidnap the Empress to be the mistress of his heavenly kingdom!"

“But Your Majesty has already taken more than a hundred husbands.” Zhao En’s lips turned pale.

"He's a god, after all. Doesn't he care at all?"

Zhuang Boshi casually made up a story: "I don't know either, but I've heard that foreigners take pride in marrying widows because they can inherit their property."

"I've heard that he's determined to take the Queen into his family, and it won't be long before he brings three thousand books, sixty thousand dowry coins, eight hundred thousand royal guards to carry the sedan chair, Michael as matchmaker, Gabriel as consort, and the seven deadly sins as attendants to arrange the engagement for the Queen!"

"Then what do we do?" a villager asked, his face turning pale.

"What can we do?!"

Zhuang Boshi glared at him: "Do you think foreign devils would want our Chinese adopted sons?"

"It's already a mercy from that damned God that we were spared to have our bodies intact."

"what!"

Every villager was in an uproar.

In everyone's mind, the goddess is supreme, sacred, and extremely terrifying. She is the only supreme deity who has protected Peach Blossom Spring for thousands of years, and everything the villagers do revolves around the goddess's will.

But at this moment, an evil god from the outside world has set his sights on the Empress and even wants to take her away to be his wife.

The key is that they won't be taken along.

Instead, he wants to adopt a group of foreigners as his godsons!

How can this be!

This violates etiquette and law!

Moreover, the Queen Mother would definitely not want to go to that damned Heaven and become the Queen Mother of the West.

The villagers, filled with righteous indignation, picked up forks and knives and were about to rush out.

"We are willing to be the vanguard for Your Majesty and fight against that Blood Cross!"

"I already told you, they've got their eyes on the Empress." Zhuang Boshi quickly pressed the group back down.

"What do you have to fight with?!"

Zhuang Boshi turned to Zhao En and asked, "My dear grandson, do you know the true form of the Empress?"

Zhao En nodded solemnly.

Having lived in this village for decades, and being the only one who had ever read the village chronicle, he naturally knew the identity of the goddess.

The goddess is a terrifying and vengeful ghost that has existed for thousands of years.

But if a ghost can do things like a god, what's a few living creatures or a few young boys and girls? Don't gods also have these requirements?

Therefore, they had long regarded the goddess as a true deity, who protected the region and brought blessings for thousands of years, something only a god could do.

But then the Outer Gods came.

That's trouble.

Although the Empress is omnipotent, that external god is fierce. If Peach Blossom Spring is destroyed, the Empress will be safe and sound.

But then they're doomed.

Think about it this way.

The villagers became even more anxious.

"Grandpa, do you have any ideas?" Zhao En's palms were sweaty.

“If I have no other choice, what’s the point of coming back?” Zhuang Boshi said.

He lowered his head and said, "Come to think of it, I just presented my husband to the Empress last year. I originally wanted to use this opportunity... but now it's impossible."

“Take me to the temple of the goddess.”

Zhao En hesitated and said, "Grandpa, according to the rules, the temple of the goddess should not be opened lightly unless it is for a wedding procession."

"Ignorant!" Zhuang Boshi shouted.

"You're only in your twenties, how can you be as stubborn as a sixty or seventy-year-old!"

Zhao En immediately lowered his head.

"What time is it? Why are you still talking about rules?"

"Disaster is imminent!"

"During the Mingzhang era of the Northern Song Dynasty, wasn't there a similar precedent? You're so inflexible!"

Zhuang Boshi stood up and scanned all the villagers, who were all somewhat uneasy.

"Don't worry, I'll take full responsibility for any mistakes."

"As long as you do as I say and prepare the necessary sacrificial animals, I will go and reassure the goddess. We will surely be able to stop that blood cross."

Zhao En was still a little hesitant, after all, the rules set by the Empress were inviolable laws in his mind.

Although his grandfather spoke with certainty and made it sound plausible, he still felt inexplicably apprehensive if he were to actually break his promise.

"Village chief, something terrible has happened!"

Just then, a young man stumbled in.

Zhao En's expression changed: "What's the matter that you're so panicked?"

"The river has turned red!"

"A large number of dead fish have floated to the surface!"

"what?"

Zhuang Boshi's face darkened: "So fast!"

It seems that the Zhang family was able to escape safely to Peach Blossom Spring because of the blessing of destiny and karma. As soon as the Zhang family left, Blood Cross chased after them like a dog.

The villagers began to panic.

I never expected the enemy to arrive so quickly!

“When the river turns red, there will surely be external calamity.”

"What are you still hesitating for? This is a warning from the Empress!"

Zhuang Boshi's expression changed slightly: "If you still can't make up your mind, then I have nothing more to say."

"Take me to the edge of the village, and I'll use these old bones to fight that evil spirit first. Then you all come at me one by one. Anyone who can't protect the goddess is not worthy of being a villager of Peach Blossom Village!"

Zhuang Boshi spoke righteously and eloquently, spraying each of the villagers with a hundred words, leaving them all ashamed and bowing their heads.

The old man was perfectly fine outside, but upon hearing of the disaster in his hometown, he immediately rushed back despite the danger, while we and the others are still hesitating here.

Zhao En sighed, "Grandpa, I'll take you to the Temple of the Goddess."

"If anything happens, my grandson and I will face it together!"

"Good lad, you truly are my precious grandson." Zhuang Boshi said with a look of satisfaction.

"Get your weapons ready, beware of outside enemies invading the village."

The neighborhood residents also made up their minds and went back to inform every household to guard against intrusion.

Taoyuan Village seemed to have entered a state of war; everyone was sharpening their knives and guns, and even the children were carrying wooden sticks.

Zhuang Boshi and Zhao En led a cartload of live animals through the Peach Blossom Forest and arrived at the Niangniang Temple.

This time, it's not the Empress arranging a marriage.

Therefore, there was no "Red Demon" escorting the bride.

There were no paper figures sent off, nor was there a grand banquet with hundreds of tables.

It was faintly visible along the way.

The vengeful spirits buried under the peach tree were stirring restlessly.

But because there were no other options, they were unable to climb out.

We finally arrived at the Niangniang Temple.

Zhuang Boshi pulled open the door.

Upon seeing that familiar statue, I immediately lit an incense stick and stuck it on it.

He wrote down a string of scribbles.

All his movements were very practiced, as if he had done it dozens of times before.

Zhao En watched all this, and was about to say something when suddenly the brazier in front of him turned black.

"How could it be black?" Zhao En exclaimed in alarm.

"Why panic!"

Zhuang Boshi shouted, walked to the brazier, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, the outer gods have attacked, and I had no choice but to enter the village, thus violating your rules."

"You can take me in anytime you want." "But now the Outer Gods have come, and they're here to take you in."

"Your Majesty, please think this over carefully. We must secure external defenses before we can quell internal strife!"

"My death is nothing, but your precious body cannot be harmed!"

Zhuang Boshi almost burst into tears, his sincere and earnest demeanor resembling that of a devoted and hardworking old minister.

Even Zhao En's eyes reddened as he listened.

The flames burned slowly, beginning to change color, gradually fading to red.

"Agreed! Your Majesty agrees!"

Zhao En, kneeling on the ground, was overjoyed to see this and began to kowtow.

at this time.

Boom!
A powerful tremor came!
The entire village was hit by a violent earthquake.

Zhuang Boshi hurriedly went out, only to see that the bright white clouds in the sky had been torn apart, and a blood-red cross appeared in the void.

"It really is a blood cross." Zhao En was terrified.

"Grandpa, you're right!"

"The extraterrestrial evil god has truly arrived!"

Zhuang Boshi's expression was grave: "My dear grandson, hurry up and go!"

"Where am I going?" Zhao En was taken aback.

Zhuang Boshi's face darkened with displeasure: "You are the head of Taoyuan Village."

"When foreign enemies invade, how can you hide in the temple of the goddess to save your life? What did your father teach you!"

"But Grandpa, you..."

“I still have things to do. I need to find that cupboard and ask about something that concerns the survival of the village.”

"By the way, give me the village chief's seal."

Zhao En's face turned green and then red.

After what seemed like an endless internal struggle, he handed over the seal.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I'll buy you some time."

After saying that, he rushed out.

Zhuang Boshi picked up the seal and watched as the red color that appeared in the sky gradually widened the cross-shaped crack.

The expression is incomprehensible.

He turned around and said, "Your Majesty, I am not from this village, but what I have said is not false."

"The real enemy."

"It's the Demon God!"

"We are allies now!"

call--

A bone-chilling coldness spread down my neck, as if someone were sliding their icy fingertips down my spine.

He raised his head.

A towering female ghost in a wedding gown stood in the shadows, her scarlet skirt trailing to the ground, embroidered with twin lotus blossoms, the stamens of which were stitched with countless human eyes.

breathe--

It's unclear whether Zhuang Boshi is too fragile right now, or whether the Goddess Luo is in her best condition.

The oppressive feeling he experienced from the ghostly woman in the wedding dress was completely different from what he had felt before.

Fortunately, her attention wasn't on herself.

Luo Shen did not lower her head, but looked up at the churning clouds above, where a cross-shaped crack hundreds of feet long had split open, like the skin of reality being torn apart by a giant hand.

A series of ghostly worlds swirled and expanded around the cross-shaped rift!

That ghostly world encompasses this world, and in each ghostly world there is a Peach Blossom Spring and a Goddess of the Luo River.

The world collided and squeezed against each other, producing a deafening sound—

Boom! Boom!
The ghostly world replaced the dark sky, forming a series of interconnected vortexes in the zenith. These vortexes pushed and spun against each other, forcefully pushing the cross-shaped crack outwards.

"Your Majesty, I love and respect you!"

Zhuang Boshi shouted loudly, "I will definitely repay you in the future!"

But the blood cross is truly terrifying.

Incredibly, on Luoshen's home turf, amidst countless ghostly paintings, it pressed down once again!

When the cross-shaped fissure pressed down, even the air condensed into a scarlet gel.

The layers of ghostly worlds are like pieces of waste paper being crumpled by an invisible giant hand. The goddesses within them all raise their hands, but they cannot stop the blood-red cross that spans the sky.

The ghostly world is collapsing at a visible speed.

"boom--"

The sudden crack in Taoyuan Village, before the villagers could even scream, pulled the entire row of houses into the fissure.

When the sutures were put back together, fine blood blisters seeped out from the road surface.

A huge red cloud fell from the cross-shaped crack.

Amidst the crimson clouds that blotted out the sky, hundreds of blood-red bodies spread their filthy wings.

Their faces resembled wax figures melted by high temperatures, and they held rusty cross swords upside down in their hands.

The goddess Luo stood suspended in mid-air. With a wave of her hand, thousands of white lanterns flew up from the temple, and the lanterns fell to the ground and turned into stiff paper figures.

The paper figure came to life as soon as it landed, and as it lunged at the villagers, its fingertips transformed into sharp bamboo strips that pierced directly into the back of their necks.

The villagers froze instantly, their skin turning bluish-black at a visible speed, their fingernails growing three inches long, transforming them into vengeful ghosts who, along with the Goddess of the Luo River, pounced on the Blood Angel.

As the Goddess of the Luo River waved her hand for the second time, a muffled cracking sound came from the million-acre peach orchard outside the village.

The peach tree, as thick as a bowl, was uprooted.

Countless human figures crawled out of the cracks in the blasted soil; they were the true vengeful ghosts nurtured in Peach Blossom Spring for thousands of years.

With another wave of his hand, the vengeful ghosts transformed into the avatars of the Goddess of the Luo River.

In the blink of an eye, countless vengeful ghosts transformed into countless goddesses of the Luo River.

They waved in unison.

One after another, bizarre and fantastical worlds appeared.

It doesn't contain a single goddess, but rather a reflection of the current Peach Blossom Spring, a world of countless goddesses.

Infinite invasions + infinite scribbles!

It's not 1+1.

It's not just infinite x infinite!

The blood cross in the distance suddenly emitted a bell-like resonance, and was actually forced back a bit by the boundless goddess Luo.

"Wow, there's something here." Zhuang Boshi was quite surprised.

If Luo Shen had possessed such abilities back then, even with Zhang Dong's combined efforts, it wouldn't have been so easy for them to win her over.

The fully-fledged Luo Shen is indeed terrifying; on her own territory, she is almost a vengeful ghost without any weaknesses.

The Blood Cross split the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and suppressed Zhuang Boshi's various abilities, which weakened his true nature.

But now I finally understand why the empresses of later generations seem to be outwardly strong but inwardly weak.

He fought the Blood Cross, which caused the puzzle pieces to be lost and he was even entangled in the Blood Cross's curse, and he has not recovered his strength for decades.

She didn't even summon the countless vengeful ghosts from the peach blossom forest.

Zhuang Boshi suddenly felt a long-lost sense of guilt.

Now, Luo Shen has shielded me from the terrifying blood cross, so she has saved my life.

During the Republican era, I took advantage of Luo Shen and left her completely; it seems I really went a bit too far.

It's a bit like repaying kindness with enmity.

Forget it, I'll just burn some posters of her brothers for her later, that'll be some comfort to her.

However, while the Empress was pulling out all her resources to fight against the Blood Cross...

Without looking back, Zhuang Boshi plunged into the backyard of the Niangniang Temple.

This place should have been filled with vengeful ghosts.

But at this moment, many of the vengeful spirits were being directed to fight the Blood Angels of the Blood Cross.

The once extremely dangerous corridor is now completely empty.

Clean and tidy.

Zhuang Boshi, carrying a red lantern, quickly moved through the corridor, first entering the boudoir and finding the wooden hairpin, then quickly finding the ancestral hall and arriving in front of the blood-red wardrobe.

Without saying a word, he directly stuffed in the prepared note.

Remove the supernatural influence from the demon god from my body.

If you don't agree, I'll force you to do it with the Empress's wooden hairpin.

[Ghost Closet, you wouldn't want to get stabbed by a wooden hairpin again, would you?]
