Chapter 71 Witnesses Generally speaking, witnesses will not...
A full moon hangs on the branches, like a tireless eye, watching everything that happens on the earth.
Wanshou County.
This county is less than a hundred miles away from Fujiao City, but it is still submerged in floods.
Several whitish floating corpses floated past the gate of the county government office. On the roof, the county magistrate with cracked lips was reading the imperial edict brought by He Xianzhi.
The flood polluted the water source of Wanshou County. The county magistrate suffered from vomiting and diarrhea because he accidentally drank raw water, and he has been unable to get up yet.
The political affairs of Wanshou County are temporarily presided over by the county magistrate.
After the county magistrate confirmed the authenticity of the imperial edict, the frown that had been locked for days finally relaxed a little. He had also heard of the He family's water control technique, but these local tycoons would never be able to command them without strong suppression.
He bowed towards the capital, and in his heart he admired the majesty's wisdom. The county magistrate bowed deeply to He Xianzhi and said, "The 45,213 households in this county will surely be grateful for your great kindness."
He Xianzhi smiled and said, "No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, then thank the merciful and compassionate Heavenly Lord who saves people from suffering."
The county magistrate was startled, straightened his clothes, and respectfully asked: "May I ask who the Heavenly Lord is..."
He Xianzhi leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Tianzun is the ancestor of chaos, the master of yin and yang, and the god of all gods. His title came out of my mouth and entered your ears. Please listen carefully..."
There was a fanatical light in He Xianzhi's eyes. The county magistrate listened to her mysterious tone and somehow his heart began to pound.
The official seal on his waist became scorching hot, giving him a shudder. Just as he was about to reach out to touch the seal, he suddenly heard a distant and ethereal voice, which murmured in the soothing but monotonous sound of a flute:
"Taishang Hunyuan...Taichu..."
"Mr. County Magistrate." A cold voice suddenly sounded beside the ear of the County Magistrate, waking him up suddenly who had closed his eyes.
He suddenly raised his head and looked towards the source of the sound. He Xianzhi also frowned and looked in the direction he was looking.
I saw that the roofs around the county government office were filled with women wearing bright red shirts and official hats.
Under the moonlight, the collars of their clothes looked like flowing blood, which was shocking to see.
The county magistrate's scalp was tingling and his head was buzzing. He was just about to take out the talisman left by the demon hunter and ask him to come and subdue the demon quickly.
The leader raised his hand and threw a certificate of ordination at the feet of the county magistrate.
The county magistrate was stunned, picked it up and looked at it carefully. With his keen eyesight, he could tell that this certificate was not a fake.
These people are not cultists?
The county magistrate, who was sweating profusely, tried to force a smile and asked these people why they came. The leader bowed and introduced himself: "We are from Yujiao. Following the order of Lord Xi, we are working with the people of Chizhou to resist the invasion of Tianzun. Lord County Magistrate can just call us Master's Wife."
The county magistrate's smile froze on his face, and He Xianzhi's expression suddenly became gloomy. She stared at the red-clothed mistress and said coldly, "What do you mean by that?"
Those who slander the Lord of Heaven deserve to die.
She turned around and said to the county magistrate, "Don't panic, sir. These mistresses must have been instructed by the evil gods to take advantage of the natural disaster to stir up trouble. I have listened to the teachings of the Heavenly Lord. Even if they are numerous and powerful, they can still... County magistrate?"
The county magistrate had already been eight feet away from her without her knowing. He met her gaze and smiled awkwardly.
“He, He Xianshi, and all the wives of the masters…” The county magistrate was sweating profusely, even more than the rain during the day, “…Wanshou County is a small county, and it is still suffering from floods. It really can’t accommodate two great gods…”
His voice was trembling, his buttocks were shaking, a faint smell of fishy smell came out, and tears flowed from the corners of his red eyes. As he spoke, he actually knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
He Xianzhi bit his lower lip in silence, while the red-robed mistress sighed, shook her head and said, "Don't misunderstand, County Magistrate. I'm not here to cause trouble."
She looked at He Xianzhi and said seriously, "I just received instructions from Master Xi to remind you not to be fooled by the false god."
He Xianzhi's face turned dark, and the county magistrate was even more frightened. He said that he would not cause trouble, but wasn't this just poking people in the heart?
He Xianzhi said coldly: "Who do you say is a false god?"
The red-dressed mistress sighed. Considering that the other party was young and had been bewitched, she was still willing to tolerate him.
"Don't worry." She said in a deep voice, "I know that you felt the power of the True God from outer space during the heavy rain a few days ago, but actually..."
When she got to this point, she suddenly paused, lowered her head, and began to tremble continuously.
He Xianzhi's pupils dilated slightly, and he took a step back vigilantly. The next moment, he saw the red-clothed mistress ringing a copper bell, and colorful ribbons flew out from behind her, stringing together her fellow disciples one by one.
Just as one of the whips was about to fly towards the county magistrate, He Xianzhi used his water control technique, swung out a water whip, rolled up the county magistrate, and pulled him behind him.
The ribbon hit nothing, but he did not pursue it relentlessly. Instead, it swung slowly and flew towards other mistresses.
The county magistrate was stunned: "Are you so cruel to your own people?"
At this time, he was already extremely inclined to believe that his master's wife and Lord Xi were both evil spirits, and that Tianzun was the true God worthy of worship.
Amid the tinkling sound of bells, the mistress in red raised her head. An exquisite hollow mask had appeared on her face.
This mask has raised eyebrows, slightly closed eyes, horns on the forehead, and no jaw.
It is decorated with gold and silver, rich colors, inlaid with colored glaze, and with flying phoenix patterns, which is extremely gorgeous.
The invisible and extremely powerful pressure spread out in circles, and He Xianzhi's heart was alarmed. He held the water whip tightly in one hand and picked up the county magistrate with the other, ready to turn around and run away at any time.
She could feel that something far beyond the reach of mortals had descended upon the red-robed mistress.
“He Xianzhi.” The red-robed mistress stopped ringing the bell and looked over indifferently through the mask. “The great power of the true god that your He family felt was nothing but a mumbling in His dream. He is the constant of impermanence, the nameless name, the most mysterious, the most wonderful of all wonders… He is the ancestor of chaos, the master of yin and yang, the god of all gods… But He is not the Celestial Lord.”
He Xianzhi's body, which wanted to escape, froze in place, completely unable to move. Her thoughts began to freeze and she could not think normally, but a dull thought still slowly formed in her mind.
Standing opposite her was the god worshipped by the red-robed mistress, the god who was in charge of the joy of mortals.
The God of Joy even lowered his status to talk to mortals in his true form.
"The Heavenly Venerable used a little power leaked out through His mumbling to leave behind His own title, misleading you, the servants of the true God, and making you think that this is His name."
"Every time you spread the name of the Heavenly Venerable, you will help the Heavenly Venerable steal a bit of His power. Even though that power is insignificant to Him, it is a calamity for this world."
"Now, the Heavenly Venerable has used the stolen power to attack the Lord of the Mansion. If something happens to the Lord of the Mansion, the underworld will fall into the hands of the Heavenly Venerable. The dead will not be able to rest in peace, and the world will become a new hell."
"He Xianzhi, you must return to Fujiao City immediately and erase people's memory of the title of Tianzun."
As the God of Joy spoke, He Xianzhi and the others felt their bodies becoming heavier, their eyelids almost sticking together, and a feeling of joy rose in their hearts.
Just when everyone could no longer control the elongation of their mouth corners, their teeth felt sour, and even began to loosen, the red-clothed mistress' body shook again, and the hollow mask on her face quickly disappeared.
He Xianzhi's thoughts resumed their flow. She looked at the mask leaving, and doubts filled her heart: "Master Xi!"
She shouted boldly, "How do you know these things? What is the true name of the true God?"
The God of Joy knew this matter so well that it was as if he was there the whole time when it happened.
Perhaps it was because the God of Joy had already done his best for the mortals, or perhaps it was because if he stayed any longer, the mortals here would suffer irreversible effects. The mask did not answer He Xianzhi's question and disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, all the ribbons broke, and the wives of the masters collapsed to the ground one after another. The leader was trembling all over, and when he opened his mouth, he spat out a few fallen teeth.
He Xianzhi was about to ask her a few more questions when she suddenly heard a few wild-animal roars and howls. She was startled and turned her head to look, only to see that the floating corpse that had just floated away was actually swimming, with its pale and swollen face full of desire for flesh and blood.
One by one, the floating corpses came back to life and surrounded the county government office and the rooftops where many disaster-stricken people were staying.
This situation and scene were exactly the same as described by the God of Joy.
The dead are resurrected and the world becomes a new hell.
It turned out that I and my family had worshipped the wrong god.
A surge of anger filled He Xianzhi's chest, and then, a distant and ethereal voice sounded in her ears, repeating the words: "Taishang Hunyuan..."
However, this time, the soothing flute sound suddenly paused, and then, as if carrying anger, it disappeared abruptly.
He Xianzhi's mind was startled, and he once again thought of the God of Joy's description of Him.
The permanence of impermanence, the name of the nameless, the mysterious beyond the mysterious, the wonder of all wonders!
This is her god.
He Xianzhi activated the Water Control Technique and rolled up the floating corpse that was roaring and climbing onto the roof. She had to return to Fujiao City as soon as possible and tell everyone else about this!
…
The baby Li Zhou, who was sleeping in his mother's arms, turned over and stretched out a foot from under the quilt. Yue Niang, who was half asleep and half awake, groped him and stuffed him back into the quilt.
Baby Li Zhou opened his eyes in confusion and looked around in the darkness.
Why did she feel like she touched the tentacles of something just now?
The tentacles were cold, soft, slippery and disgusting. As soon as she touched them, they retreated.
In the underworld, Li Zhou, a female doctor who rolled up the notice and was about to go to see the Lord, paused and touched her belly.
In addition to the feeling that baby Li Zhou inexplicably touched something, she also felt her stomach churning.
Did you have a stomachache?
Li Zhou frowned as he recalled what he had eaten today and felt that there was nothing unusual.
Unfortunately, she is now in an out-of-body state and her body cannot be examined.
When I return to the world of the living, I will give myself a gastroscopy.
Worried that he would have diarrhea, Li Zhou quickly took out a pen and paper to write down the matter.
【Remember to do weijing】
When Goddess Lu, Yin Chan and others saw that she suddenly stopped writing and drawing, and saw the symbols in calligraphy and painting that they had never seen before, they did not dare to ask any questions and hurriedly stopped.
That must be a mysterious rune containing powerful power, everyone secretly guessed.
They didn't know that in the dark abyss filled with chaos and madness, the five masks of the God of Joy that were glued together shattered again, and a few lines of tears slowly flowed from the slightly closed eyes.
He Xianzhi would never know that her guess was actually correct, and the God of Joy was really at the scene and witnessed everything with his own eyes.
However, generally speaking, witnesses are not in other people’s stomachs.
