Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 277 Listen carefully
"Strange scene?" Wu Xian was completely bewildered. "How so?"

Du Yifan stammered, trying to find the right words, "I don't know how to describe it, but it's not a scene from our human world, it's more like a scene from some other dimension."

"An otherworldly scene?" Wu Xian asked in surprise.

"Hey, hey, hey, over there~ it appeared again!" Du Yifan pointed to the distance, "and then disappeared again in the blink of an eye."

After Du Yifan described it in detail, Wu Xian became increasingly puzzled as he listened. "Something like a dimensional mirage?"

"More or less," Du Yifan said, "but it's more like the perspective from which extradimensional monsters observe us during a dimensional mirage, appearing and disappearing in the distance."

Hearing Du Yifan say this, Wu Xian became even more curious.

Could this be a physical manifestation of interdimensional invasion?

After some thought, he communicated with the City God in the City God Temple through the divine map.

Then, with the help of the City God, a special vision that only Du Yifan could see appeared before his eyes.

Within Yaoyang City, wandering human souls are everywhere, aimless and with nowhere to go.

Some wandering souls, because no one has guided them for so long, have almost completely dissipated into the world.

But that's not the point. The point is the peculiar "dimensional mirage" imagery.

After observing the surroundings for a moment, the situation described by Du Yifan vaguely appeared not far away.

A scene resembling another dimension flashed by, with some eerie monsters and sights vaguely visible, but it didn't resemble a scene from a bizarre abyss or a scene from an insectoid dimension.

It's unlike any other dimensional vision he's known of.

"Interesting. Could it be that some new other dimension is slowly infiltrating here?"

But ever since that disaster a thousand years ago, almost all the other dimensions that could come have invaded, and there has been no news of any new other dimensions arriving late.

Afterwards, Wu Xian made a special trip to the Land Temple Farm to take a look.

As he expected, similar strange phenomena also occurred around the local temple, but much less frequently.

I spoke with Mayor Chen Shilong over the phone, but he was also completely baffled and had no clue what to do.

But Wu Xian wasn't in a hurry.

After returning to the small villa in the North District, he devoted himself to making his first jade scroll.

……

The provincial capital, Dongfeng City.

With the update of the Three Gods version, there is now a sense of undercurrents in the provincial capital.

As the representative of the upper-class masters at the Super Dog Club, he felt this particularly acutely.

It's quite noticeable that the Wang family's "influence" on all sectors of society has weakened. Although various family forces still fear the Wang family and give them face, it's clearly not like before.

Especially the Wang family of the [Ink Jade Bamboo Forest], it seems they intend to charge rent for the cultivation cabins in the Ink Jade Bamboo Forest.

It's obvious that the Wang family has likely become involved with one of the "Three Gods".

Fortunately, the upper class is still the upper class, and their rule remains.

Moreover, judging from the information revealed by the master before, the upper echelons have already begun to deal with the so-called three gods.

What the Wang family had to do was to obediently serve their master and, incidentally, find a way to recruit Wu Xian into their ranks.

"Damn it, how did they even manage to build this farm?"

This is also the situation he understands the least and finds most troublesome.

Logically speaking, without "technical assistance" from the upper levels, it would be very difficult for the scroll painters of the lower world to create planting soil.

I wanted to discuss this with several major grain merchants in the province, but I found that they all looked worried.

"What's going on? Why are they all looking so worried? It can't be because of the small amount of grain exported from Yaoyang City, can it?" Wang Zhi asked with a strange expression.

"Chairman Wang, you may not know this, but our farms are being driven crazy by the recent rat infestation."

"A rat infestation?" Wang Zhi was stunned.

He had recently heard that rat infestations were occurring all over the country, and that ordinary rats that originally lived in the human world were now mutating into monsters, causing considerable disruption to the lives of ordinary people.

"Do you have any good methods for dealing with the rat infestation? As long as it can be solved, the price is negotiable. We will definitely cooperate fully in the future." Wang Zhi frowned and thought for a moment. "It's just a small rat infestation, nothing to worry about. I'll talk to the Miao people in the neighboring Ziyang Province later."

Although the Wang family and the Miao family don't get along, they will still stand on the same side in times like these.

"The Miao people?" The major grain merchants were overjoyed.

As they were talking, several of the squads they had sent out returned empty-handed, leaving Wang Zhi completely stunned.

"What? So many people can't even get a data core?"

"President, it's not that we're incapable, it's just that those otherworldly monsters attacked too fiercely, and we almost died there."

"what?"

……

Yaoyang City, North District.

Wu Xian proceeded slowly and meticulously, refining each step.

Believe it or not, these divine power fragments seem to enhance the connection with the corresponding deity.

I originally thought this hound of the underworld was too high-class, and even with the blessing of incense, it would be difficult to reach. But I didn't expect it to be so easy to come up with the idea.

All I can say is that this fragment of divine power is indeed a perfect match for the Underworld Hound.

Before I knew it, the image of the scroll had taken shape in my mind, and the scroll I was drawing had reached its final stage.

The laws of heaven and earth converge and surround, foreshadowing the birth of this extraordinary scroll.

"Damn it, who's disturbing my sleep?"

The sudden voice in his mind made Wu Xian's heart skip a beat.

what's going on?
Could it be that, like Sister Tiao and Yu Boling, they have been connected to the call of the true god [Di Ting]?
"May I ask if you are Di Ting, the divine hound of the underworld under Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?" Wu Xian asked telepathically, suppressing his excitement.

"Who's speaking? Where am I? Oh no, have those two humans killed me?"

"..." Wu Xian's forehead went black.

Disappointed, yet also surprised and doubtful.

So it turns out it was just the remnant consciousness of that sinister man?
Wasn't that guy completely exorcised? How could he still have consciousness remaining in the fragments of divine power?

"Hmm~ It seems the power of heaven and earth is reshaping me. Could it be the great Lord of the Abyss, the Death God of the Ghost Realm? Haha, I knew I hadn't followed the wrong person. Great Lord of the Abyss, I have important information to report!"

As the sinister man muttered to himself in his mind, Wu Xian felt a chill run down his spine.

At the same time, the laws of heaven and earth that had formed the scroll were already stirring.

A jade scroll slowly coalesced, and gold threads bound it into a scroll.

Looking at the jade scroll slowly falling into his hand, Wu Xian was still in a state of deep confusion and bewilderment.

The good news is that they obtained a strange scroll with consciousness; the bad news is that this consciousness is not quite right.

【The Divine Dog of the Underworld - Di Ting】

Version: Original (with gold embroidered border)

Grade: Jade Scroll

Painting Spirit: ★★★☆

Spirituality: 177
Innate Traits: World Honored One Ksitigarbha, Hell Ears, Nine Auras Protection

The final result was fine, but it had a slight, unexpected flaw.

After some hesitation, he slowly unfolded it and summoned the Listening Painting Spirit.

Bathed in divine light and rosy glow, a mythical beast with a tiger's head, a lion's tail, a single horn on its head, and four legs like a qilin, named "Big White Dog," came into being. It resembled neither a dragon nor a tiger, neither a lion nor a dog, and while its appearance was strange, it also seemed inexplicably harmonious.

Surrounded by nine-colored light, it possesses an extraordinary and majestic appearance, truly embodying the image of a divine beast or auspicious creature.

Upon seeing the scene before him, his adorable face showed a bewildered and stiff expression, followed by a string of profanities: "Great...what the...what's going on?"
"You wretched human, what...what have you done to me?"
