Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 199 Bo Ye Continent, People of Lu Ye
This is Bo Ye Zhou, a corner of the vast world.

There are many kinds of "people" living here.

Some people have horns on their heads, and some people have tails on their backs.

Some people have four legs and two wings, and their faces have facial features.

Most of them consider themselves human, but have different tribal names.

For example, these people who worship gods and pray for rain are all branches of the "Deer Field People".

In Chu Tianshu's view, they were indeed very similar to ordinary people in the real world.

The only difference in appearance is that they have two short horns on their foreheads.

The horns on the child's head are the most transparent.

With Chu Tianshu's keen eyesight, he could even see the fine blood vessels inside the horn, with blood flowing through them.

The older a person gets, the more cloudy their eyes become.

The horns on the heads of the old people looked exactly like two pieces of wood.

But there are different kinds of people, like this clan chief.

The old clan chief appeared to be at least sixty years old, with sparse silver hair on his head and many wrinkles on his sallow face, but he had a straight back and wore a blue cloth robe with the sleeves rolled up to near his elbows, revealing his strong arms.

A black belt was wrapped around his waist several times and tied very tightly.

The two short horns on his forehead were as smooth and warm as jade.

A moment earlier, after Chu Tianshu was recognized as the divine son.

A chilling silence fell outside the temple, and everyone's face was filled with fear.

This old clan chief respectfully stepped forward and invited the divine son to return to the village as a guest.

The bamboo chair tied to two evergreen bamboos became Chu Tianshu's throne.

The strong man carried the green bamboo, doing his best to keep his steps steady.

The old clan chief and the young woman who had been guarding outside the temple followed closely behind.

A large crowd followed behind, whispering among themselves.

Chu Tianshu went along with the group and prepared to travel with them for a while to find out what was going on.

He had originally planned to be tactful and ask in several installments, but instead he simply asked, "What's the name of this area?"

The old clan chief then recited the place name and clan name.

That's right, we all speak the same language.

In fact, these people's accents are basically those of the Jianghuai region, only slightly higher in pitch.

Chu Tianshu also listened to the whispers in the crowd and gleaned more information.

In this vast world, ghosts and spirits often take root in deep places, living by instinct and passing through long years, in a state between dream and wakefulness.

But for some unknown reason, there are many beings in the world who have acquired the bloodline of ghosts and gods, and they reproduce generation after generation. Among these beings with the bloodline of ghosts and gods, there are occasionally a few who possess the clearest rationality.

Such figures, regardless of how many generations removed they are from the spirits and deities, are collectively referred to as divine children.

In the various stories passed down orally in Bo Ye Zhou.

"Golden lamp shining on the head" is a phenomenon that most divine children possess.

Only a few divine children possess other signs.

Chu Tianshu didn't notice when he first landed in the temple.

Sitting in the chair the whole way, he carefully sensed his surroundings and discovered that the three flames on his body seemed to originate from the pure essence of his physical body.

Because he cultivated himself into the "Martial Stove God," his physical body and blood became pure to a certain degree.

When it encountered the local environment, such an anomaly manifested.

Therefore, if Chu Tianshu's physical aura were released here, it would likely be mistaken for divine power.

Even without him releasing his aura, the crowd behind him, upon seeing the three flames that existed only in the story, were already filled with unease.

"They were worshipping a celestial master, so how did a divine child appear?"

"Could he be a friend of that immortal master?"

"Does that immortal master really exist? How come I've never seen him?" "You haven't seen him, but we have. Twice in a row, and I heard the clan leader saw him seven or eight times."

People walked in a disorderly manner, whispering among themselves.

"Yes, yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Above the statue of the Deer King, the appearance of that immortal master appeared. He was wearing strange clothes and looked very majestic."

"The light above his head was dazzling, but he had thick hair on both sides. With a wave of his hand, dragons would circle around him, and clouds of mist would linger around him."

"With the soil cracking and the drought getting worse, the appearance of such a celestial master must mean he has the power to bring rain, right?"

At this point, someone forgot their fear of the divine child and sighed heavily.

"On the 28th, the Lunar New Year is coming. We were going to make a big show of it and ask the gods to send rain, but there hasn't been a single drop of rain."

Upon hearing these words, Chu Tianshu pictured Yao Qianshu.

It seems that this old man Yao's hobby is practicing his mirage technique at home.

Most likely by some coincidence, the scene he performed was projected onto the temple.

After several such visits, he was regarded as a deity by the people of Luye, who even staged such a grand ceremony to worship and invite the god.

Is that the aura that permeates reality formed in this way?
It seems that these people of Luye possess some kind of supernatural power.

Chu Tianshu looked at the gatekeeper woman again.

He could now hear the woman's breathing and heartbeat.

This indicates that the person was holding their breath and even their heartbeat while guarding the gate out of some ritualistic necessity.

And this old patriarch, with a slow heartbeat and unusually smooth steps, if you only look at his upper body, you would think he is moving horizontally rather than walking.

Even on rough dirt roads, he walked smoothly, not by choice, but by the result of years of habit.

Chu Tianshu could tell just by looking at his physique.

This person's physical strength must far exceed his own body weight; when needed, a single punch could likely deliver the force of several thousand kilograms.

After walking for a while, a large number of villages came into view.

Luye Village in Boyezhou has nearly a thousand households, making it a rare large village with a thriving population.

It's not far from the temple; it's just down a small hill and across a slope.

But the hill was bare, and there was hardly any greenery to be seen along the way.

The land was all dry, hard, and yellow; there was no sun in the sky, and no one knew where the sunlight came from.

Throughout the village, there are many grand houses, but they all have a yellowish color.

"The drought is terrible."

Chu Tianshu suddenly spoke up, "Lutouqiu, when you saw me at the temple, you immediately bowed and knelt down, inviting me to be your guest. Why didn't you ask why I was at the temple or where I was going?"

Lu Tou Qiu was the name the old clan chief himself gave.

"How dare I, a lowly person, inquire about the whereabouts of the divine child?"

Lu Touqiu lowered his head and said with trepidation, "To be able to see the Divine Child is an immense blessing. I can only think about inviting the Divine Child to my manor as a guest."

"My ancestors throughout the ages could have been honored because of this. I was thinking about this all the time, and I couldn't think of anything else."

Chu Tianshu laughed and said, "You offer sacrifices to the immortal masters to pray for rain, but you're satisfied with just inviting the divine son as a guest?"

Lu Touqiu's eyes flickered slightly as he lowered his head, his voice remaining respectful.

"Satisfied, satisfied."

Chu Tianshu said softly, "How many times in your life have you seen a divine child?"

Lu Touqiu said, "This is the first time; I've only ever heard of it in stories before."

"It seems that the divine children in the story have a really bad image."

Chu Tianshu laughed and said, "So much so that since we met, only this one sentence you just said is true."

This clan chief was the one who saw the real-world projection the most times, and he was also the one who planned and presided over the sacrificial ceremony.

To figure out how to return to reality, it's inevitable that I'll have to deal with this clan chief.
