Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 10 Grab!
I rolled my eyes

Li Wushou quickly recounted what he had seen inside the golden statue to Chen Gou'er.

Chen Gou'er was also dumbfounded.

"She really is pregnant! Will we still get that thirty taels of silver?"

"What do you say?"

Looking at the other four people who were about to be sucked to death, Li Wushou sighed and rubbed his forehead.

"Let's think of an explanation first: everyone else is dead, and we're the only ones alive!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't hear Chen Gou'er reply for a long time. Looking down, he saw that Chen Gou'er's face was flushed red!

Chen Gou'er felt like the sky had fallen. Last night, the old beggar had painted a rosy picture for him all night, and he was just waiting for the money to come home and invest, and then he would eat and drink to his heart's content. Now you're telling me it's all gone?
Chen Gou'er can't accept it!
Even his nose looked long from the breath—and that's not an adjective; it really did look long.

They sniffed through Li Wushou's stomach toward the pit.

"Li Wushou is like two foul odors, one underground and one on his golden body."

Li Wushou was taken aback, then began to ponder.

Judging from the words of the high priests, the practice of sculpting golden statues has a long history, indicating that these golden statues are destined to decay gradually.

The City God used the flesh and features of the Blood Buddha Temple to alleviate the decay of the golden statue.

However, for some unknown reason, a bird appeared in the heart. This bird devoured the blood essence of the Blood Buddha Temple's five senses and accelerated the decay of the golden body.

In addition, the City God was not in a good state, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep. So, driven by instinct, he devoured all those who came to have their golden statues made. This should be the reason why the golden statues could not be made.

What is that stench from underground?

That is very likely the reason why the City God is in poor condition.

Feeling an instinctive unease, Li Wushou decided to give up; it was too much trouble.

What could possibly cause trouble for the local city god? It must be something easy to deal with.
"Li Wushou, you just said that the City Goddess has a bird inside her heart, and that it was this bird that ate the blood and energy of the five senses that the great monk refined, which is why the golden body could not be formed, right?"

"Huh~?"

Li Wushou was somewhat surprised. When did Chen Gou'er become so logical?
I stared at Chen Gou'er intently for a while, and thankfully he wasn't possessed by any evil spirits.

Li Wushou almost shouted, "No matter who you are, get off Chen Gou'er first!"

Seeing Chen Gou'er's cold face, Li Wushou didn't know what was wrong with the child! But he still nodded.

"So that means this bird stole thirty taels of silver from us?"

"Huh~?"

Something's not right, something's very wrong. Has this child developed a brain?
"Damn it, only Dog Master steals from others, who dares to steal from Dog Master? I'm going to bite this bird to death!"

After shouting, it ripped open Li Wushou's belly, trying to crawl out and jump into the round pit to fight the bird.

"Why are you crazy?"

Li Wushou grabbed Chen Gou'er and then suddenly paused. If they really managed to deal with this bird, the golden body should indeed be able to be sculpted!
Although there was still a foul smell underground, what did that have to do with me?
I was only invited by the high priest to create the golden statue, not to heal the city god.

His gaze swept over the other four pits, and even the junior priest had fallen into a coma due to the loss of flesh and blood.

If I resolve this heart issue and then make this trip, then...?
His eyes gleamed; Li Wushou was tempted.

"Li Wushou, don't pull me! I'm going to bite this bird to death!"

"Thirty taels! That's enough to buy ten Li Wushous!"

"Damn it, they're even stealing children's money!"

Li Wushou, who had been listening calmly, suddenly turned pale. This damned old beggar actually told Chen Gou'er about this too?
In his manic state, Chen Gou'er clearly failed to notice Li Wushou's emotional shift.

"Ouch! Li Wushou, what are you doing?"

With his face being pulled away, Chen Gou'er finally stopped his rage and looked at Li Wushou, whose face had turned black, with some confusion.

"Hoo~" Taking a deep breath, Li Wushou decided not to argue with Chen Gou'er for now, and to settle things with the old beggar when he got back.

"I've thought about it, and this bird is a good choice!"

"The flesh and blood of the Blood Buddha Temple, with its immense essence of flesh and blood, has been used by this bird to transform into the power of the decaying golden body. Once we deal with this bird, the remaining golden body should be able to repair itself."

"So, killing this bird is equivalent to casting a golden statue, and it's also equivalent to thirty taels of silver, right?"

At the same time, Li Wushou finally discovered that Chen Gou'er seemed to become several levels smarter whenever this bird was involved!
Seeing Li Wushou nod, Chen Gou'er had already rolled up his sleeves.

After some discussion, the two decided to give it a try while the four people were still alive.

Li Wushou glanced around and slowly shook his head. No, there were two people now. The two people the High Priest had summoned had just passed away.

He pulled out the wire and swiftly performed a cesarean section. Chen Gou'er scurried out of Li Wushou's belly and clung to Li Wushou's neck.

With a twist of its neck, its mouth opened wide, as if it could swallow a clay pot.

"Crack~"

He bit off the fleshy vines wrapped around Li Wushou and swallowed them whole.

He kicked off Li Wushou's body with his calves, grabbed the violently writhing flesh vines with both hands, and used the momentum to swing down into the round pit.

The idea is good, but these fleshy vines are not ropes.

Even after being kicked away from the pit, it still stood tall like a tree. Now, Chen Gou'er was somewhat embarrassed, being held up in mid-air.

Ignoring everything else, Chen Gou'er continued to bite at the vines.

After taking another bite of the vine, the City God's golden body instinctively sensed the abnormality and rammed into the vertical wall of the circular pit, intending to kill Chen Gou'er!

Chen Gou'er suddenly released his grip on the vines and shouted at Li Wushou, who was looking down into the pit.

"Ah! Li Wushou, save me, Dog Master!"

"Call me brother!"

"Big brother! Big brother! Ah~"

A dark shadow emerged from behind Li Wushou and, using the moonlight, plunged down into the pit.

Like a soft, warm bed, it caught Chen Gou'er as he fell from mid-air.

"Boom~"

The vine, with a large section bitten off, crashed against the vertical wall with a loud bang, the enormous impact shattering a large area of ​​soil and rocks.

"Well done, Li Wushou!"

Chen Gou'er, with his butt sticking out, had just praised Li Wushou when he saw this scene.

Startled, it shrank its neck, bared its fangs, and charged towards the golden statue of the City God!

"I'll bite you to death, you bastard!"

The City God's statue was very tall; even when sitting cross-legged, Chen Gou'er could only barely reach its chest.

Instinctively sensing the danger, the fleshy vines that had been binding the four people in the pit simultaneously retreated to defend themselves.

But Chen Gou'er, who had gone mad, didn't care about anything else. His eyes flashed red, and he charged forward with both hands and feet.

"Get the hell out of here! How dare you try to steal my food? I'll bite you to death!"

In an instant, he rushed to the front of the City God's statue, his mouth torn open, wider than his body, as if he wanted to swallow the statue whole.

Li Wushou was anxious and hurriedly shouted.

"Keep your mouth small, then bite the heart!"

Chen Gou'er's red-rimmed eyes lost some of their fierceness, and his mouth quickly shrank.

"Crack~"

Its sharp fangs were indestructible, and in one bite, it pierced through the left chest of the City God's golden statue.

“Gurgle~!”

Chen Gou'er wanted to swallow it whole, but a dark shadow grabbed his neck and instantly turned him into a big-headed doll.

The shadowy figure enveloped Chen Gou'er and pulled him towards the pit, his exposed belly already waiting for him.

Just like it had been simulated hundreds of times, Chen Gou'er returned to Li Wushou's stomach.

The wire swiftly passed through, and Li Wushou tightened his clothes.

His eyes rolled back, and he lay half-paralyzed in the pit.

Her belly was much rounder than before, and at first glance, she really looked like she was pregnant.

"Buzz~!"

A loud buzzing sound came from the pit.

The ground shook violently, as if an earth dragon were turning over.

A big guy has woken up.
