Chapter 35 I'll sue you to death!
Once an item is created, it will only exist in two states.
Pingyu stared at the gap that Nezha had smashed open, his right eyelid twitching uncontrollably.
"Should we let the people here escape?"
She swallowed hard. "I have a bad feeling."
The old woman stood there, stunned.
Her eyes reflected the splattering spots on the toad skin, and a chill ran down her spine.
How could this be? The master never mentioned this! The woman couldn't close her mouth, and suddenly looked at the Taoist priest who was traveling with her: "What do you know?"
The Taoist priest put his hands into his sleeves, shook his head and sighed, "I told you, you must never let anyone get close to the toad's body... Alas, it's no use."
"You? Isn't this the master's intention! Could it be..." Her words trailed off, her throat like a folded piece of paper, the fisherwoman unable to utter a sound. She stared blankly down at the sight of a long, fleshy rope wrapped around her.
The tongue that emerged from the toad's mouth strangled the woman's neck.
It was covered in drool, dripping wetly.
She looked at the Taoist's beady eyes, which seemed to regard her as if she were an insect. People's minds always work very fast before they die… Why had she never met her boss since joining the company, and why was this Taoist always the one relaying everything?
You are the boss.
But as the woman raised her finger to point, it was completely swallowed by the tongue.
Toads catch flying insects.
No one dared to speak for a moment.
It wasn't until the sound of swallowing, like a rumbling of the earth, rang out that the people in the temple came to their senses in a daze.
"Just now, did the Golden Toad God eat someone?"
"I think so."
Someone shouted this, startling the person awake from their dream.
The scene began to descend into chaos.
People were jostling and pushing each other, turning the once orderly crowd into a mess like filth after rain, completely blocking the entrance.
The Taoist priest was completely indifferent to the death of his subordinate.
With a pained expression, he tossed aside the longsword that Nezha had smashed in his hand and said to the group, "By using ghost money to make money, I not only fulfilled the incense offerings of the underworld gods so that they would not harm people, but also granted the wishes of the people here, allowing them to have wealth to seek. This is a great and virtuous deed, so why did you young friends have to make such a scene?"
After saying that, he sighed deeply again.
The sigh drifted down, but it shook the sacks of silver coins on the ground.
The man's mouth gaped open, and at the same time, the gold, coins, and cowrie shells used for worship in the bag all poured into his mouth. Some people realized what was happening and cried out, "My money!" but their arms could not stop the money from flowing to the Taoist priest.
He devoured gold and silver, and his body grew larger and larger, eventually reaching the heavens.
At this point, the cracks on the toad's body began to widen.
Starting from the shattered remains caused by Nezha, cracks spread and expanded, covering most of the toad's body at a visible speed. Pieces of gold fell, causing the entire Golden Toad Temple to shake violently.
The dizziness was unprecedented; Pingyu's heels were unsteady, and he almost knelt on the ground.
The more the gold is peeled off, the more completely the toad's body is revealed.
Nian Youyu stared in disbelief, managing to utter with difficulty, "We were just... crawling inside a real toad's mouth?"
He suddenly felt dirty and smelly, which gave him the creeps.
Yan Erlang looked at the Taoist priest and said anxiously, "How much does he intend to eat? We're going to eat all the money here!"
"Whatever." Nezha composed himself and gripped the Universe Ring in his hand again. His eyes blazed with fighting spirit, ready to strike: "Kill them first!"
Pingyu looked at the commoners blocking the entrance. Although the Golden Toad Temple was large, it felt crowded with so many people. With so many commoners, Nezha and Muzha couldn't effectively fight the demon. So she shouted to Nezha, "Break down the wall first!"
More exports can divert traffic.
A streak of light flashed before my eyes.
The golden light pierced through the wall in the blink of an eye, not just smashing open the exit. Nezha violently smashed the entire wall, causing it to collapse with a roar. However, without the support of the load-bearing wall, the roof beams and tiles began to crumble, collapsing towards the point where the wall had been destroyed.
They started the forced demolition as soon as everyone was there!?
Ping Yu screamed in despair, "I told you to dig an escape tunnel, not to go straight to the underworld!"
"It doesn't matter," Nezha replied casually, "As long as you don't die."
The next second, a red silk ribbon was wrapped around her waist.
On the eve of being lifted off the ground, the girl shouted to the young man, "Second Prince, scoop me up!"
Mu Zha remained silent, relentlessly throwing his magical artifacts outwards.
The vajra, imbued with spiritual power, grew larger and supported the upper beam.
The destruction of the temple has temporarily stopped.
The people who came to worship the gods breathed a deep sigh of relief when they saw that life had begun to return.
It was a true escape from death.
With more exits, the blocked flow of people was able to be relieved.
The gold nugget was still falling, and the toad was able to move around more and more freely.
The Taoist's skin, and even his hair, turned to gold.
His whole body shone with golden light, and he held a lotus flower in his hand, giving him a somewhat divine appearance.
Thump!
One of the falling gold nuggets landed in the crowd.
Those who couldn't escape were pinned to the ground.
Blood and flesh splattered, bringing the group to a halt.
They wiped the blood splattered on their faces, their eyes inevitably drawn to the gold before them.
One of them reached out and tapped the gold nugget.
That toad has a golden body...
"I brought all my wealth from the next village to make money, but not only was this toad a monstrous demon, but that strange Taoist priest also ate all my money! Who's going to compensate me for my travel expenses and this ridiculously expensive rent? Consider this gold as compensation for my losses!"
He struggled to pull the enormous gold nugget out of the ground.
Those around them agreed that it made sense and turned back.
Looking down at the people on the ground returning to danger, Ping Yu could hardly believe it: "What are they doing!?"
"That's why I said it doesn't matter."
The golden ring slammed into the toad's body, and Nezha sneered, "These people are courting death."
The gold covering the toad's three legs was completely stripped away at this moment.
The statue has come back to life.
With a sweep of its long tongue, it stuck some people on the ground and swallowed them.
With a thud, the person slid down into the esophagus.
But no one stopped.
There wasn't enough gold to go around, and it was embedded in the ground, difficult to pull out. If those who came before managed to pull some out were to eat it, it would only benefit those who came after.
It's alright, the exit is big enough, we can run away in time.
As more and more people were eaten, Ping felt somewhat stifled.
Heartbroken and furious, she covered her eyes and yelled, "You money-grubbing idiots, I don't care anymore!"
Ants below are scrambling for food, while Muzha and Nezha above are fighting back.
Nezha is paired with the Taoist priest, and Muzha is paired with the golden toad.
One person against one person.
Human face.
All sorts of faces, men, women, young and old.
The old woman's face was also on it; she looked at Nezha in terror and cried out in a hoarse voice, "Save...me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Universe Ring, fueled by personal grudges, hurled at him.
Noisy.
After finishing, Nezha understood the cause of the toad demon's existence:
"This is not a born spirit at all; it is a magical artifact born from being tainted by too much underworld energy."
It constantly inhaled and exhaled the wisps of smoke from burning paper money, consuming too much yin energy. That's how it manifested a physical body and was fixed within this golden statue.
It is essentially a demon born from humans.
The golden hand slammed down on the two like a mountain. The copper coins that fell from his hand were quickly picked up by the commoners. The Taoist priest, though large, moved slowly.
Nezha dodged in time, and the Universe Ring and Muzha's Wu Hook swords were unleashed simultaneously.
However, both humans and toad demons are made of gold, which is both soft and resilient. Whether it's a sword or a ring, although it can break through their defenses, it will be repaired by the flowing gold in the blink of an eye.
The situation reached a stalemate, and the two had no other options at the moment.
His body is made of gold, pure gold.
Forget about using chemical substances to deal with it; the Shang Dynasty didn't have that kind of stuff.
Pingyu gazed at the golden toad, which was constantly changing and repairing itself, and thought to himself:
The remaining method is to burn it with fire.
Gold has a melting point of about 1064.43 degrees Celsius, and the Samadhi Fire is a divine fire that should be able to reach this temperature.
Let's give it a try first!
Pingyu made up his mind and shouted at the two who were locked in fierce combat: "Nezha, try breathing fire!"
call!
A streak of crimson suddenly burst from Nezha's mouth.
This water looks strangely familiar.
The Taoist priest was also in the fire, burning fiercely, his entire body dazzlingly bright. His eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and limbs had all melted in the fire, sticking stickily down. Yet he was neither surprised nor afraid, opening his arms and shouting joyfully:
"If you can't live on earth, you'll have to go to the underworld! How can a human fight against a god? What's the point, what's the point!"
Nezha raised an eyebrow and stepped back slightly.
Ping Yu discovered that the Samadhi True Fire seemed to have weakened somewhat.
Upon closer inspection, it is clear that it is not extinguished.
The oil and water flowing from the fire completely enveloped it. The toad's body melted away, turning into liquid gold that flowed freely on the ground.
The toad's head still had its bloody mouth wide open.
The fire tiger was engulfed inside, submerged by the black water gushing from its mouth.
The temperature inside the temple immediately dropped a few degrees.
The sweat that Pingyu had just produced from the heat suddenly turned as cold as ice. She shivered twice and touched her arm.
"This is... Yin water?"
During the sweltering heat of July, the cold can be so intense that one's breath turns into white mist.
Black water flooded the entire temple, and those who couldn't escape while trying to steal the gold were swallowed up, crying out in despair.
However, the group was too preoccupied to care about that.
Nezha and Muzha kept their eyes fixed on the toad's head, not daring to relax their vigilance in the slightest.
Life force, death force, spiritual energy, demonic energy, divine breath...
All things born and nurtured by the Dao of Heaven possess "Qi". Since they began cultivating the Dao, the two have rarely encountered the "Qi" of demons that could make the hairs on their bodies stand on end.
The Qiankun Ring and the Wu Hook Twin Swords attacked together, intending to strike first and destroy the gate at the junction of the two sides.
Instantly, an invisible wave of energy rippled out from inside the door.
The two magical artifacts, which were only a step away from the toad's head, were deflected.
Stone-colored flippers emerge from the oily film of water.
It landed heavily, causing ripples to spread across the dark water.
The surge of Qi caused Pingyu to sway, and warmth flowed down from her eyes, nose, mouth, and even her ears.
Snap.
The blood seeped into the yin fluid and merged into it.
How can man contend with God?
Even if a spirit is constructed from inanimate objects, it is still a deity.
what to do?
Thinking of the Taoist's fearless demeanor before melting away, Ping Yu felt his heart pounding with tension.
Nezha has always been calm and composed when facing enemies, handling them with ease. This is the first time Pingyu has seen him with a stern expression, his fingertips holding the Universe Ring completely drained of color.
Everything becomes difficult to deal with once it is labeled with the word "god".
She was a mere mortal, powerless to even kill a chicken, and couldn't offer any immediate assistance in the battle. But she absolutely couldn't bear to let Ping Yu stand by and watch the two fight so hard.
What's in this temple? Nezha, Muzha, the Yin God, and...
Yin water.
Oh, right, Yin water!
"Nezha!" The girl's voice made Nezha, who was on alert, pause for a moment. He looked up, casting a puzzled glance.
I'm busy, why are you shouting?
Ping Yu continued, "Yin water is also black water, and it can lead to Youdu, right?"
“Yes.” The boy was even more puzzled: “Why are you asking this?”
Like the Black Water, Yin Water leads directly to the Underworld. However, because the Yin Gods reside in the mortal realm, they can control the Yin Water, allowing them to keep the souls under their control and prevent them from sinking into the Underworld.
Now that it has come to the human world, it is subject to the laws of Heaven.
Does this prove that the Yin water will merge with the water of the underworld flowing towards Fengdu, and can also reach the underworld directly?
The girl was excitedly thinking this, ignoring Nezha's words. She patted the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) wrapped around her and said, "Put me down!"
Nezha stared at the black water below: "Are you out of your mind?"
“It’s deadly!” Ping Yu pointed to herself with her left hand and to the ground with her right, saying, “However, I’m going to appeal to the Emperor!”
Based on what the girl had just said, Nezha understood her intention.
The boy, still somewhat doubtful, used the magic ribbon to lower Pingyu down.
The red silk was tied even tighter to ensure that Nezha could rescue him in time should an accident occur.
The moment her legs touched the icy water, they felt a bone-chilling cold. Starting from her calves, the pain and stiffness quickly robbed her of all sensation in her legs. Compared to the icy water she had encountered when crossing the river with the flickering lamp, the black water that had come to the human world seemed to have gained self-awareness. Upon encountering living creatures, it was aroused by its appetite and eagerly crawled onto Pingyu's body.
Pingyu was also a little nervous.
She encouraged herself, thinking:
Damn you, Taoist priest! Damn you, Yin spirit!
You made me suffer so much and hurt so many people.
As the parasitic, black water climbed up to her neck, she took a deep breath and shouted towards the water, "I have something to report!"
Despite his small size, Pingyu unleashed tremendous energy in the face of a life-or-death crisis.
Nezha and Muzha both covered their ears. The sound was so loud that even some of the black liquid on their necks receded.
The sound traveled through the Yin Water to the Underworld, even causing the Yama King's Palace to tremble.
The Kings of Hell, who had just opened the Book of Life and Death and were about to start their shifts: ?
Something appeared, flashing on the page.
Author's Note: Underworld Legal Department: Bring your dirty little scum to court, and that bratty little kid with your broken throat. Did you hear me?!
