Chapter 348 The Origin of the Moon Worship Cult?
"Blind man?" Several people were puzzled after hearing this, "How can a blind man be a carpenter?"
"This is a long story..."
Under the old locust tree in the cool breeze, Yu Qian'an began to tell stories from the past with a smile.
"The original body of the Wooden King was a craftsman in the Sword Forging City, but he was not a blacksmith, but a carpenter. He even won the title of 'Ghost Axe' in the past."
Li Chu was a little surprised when he heard what the old Taoist said.
He also had some understanding of the Sword Forging City, one of the Twelve Immortal Sects. Unlike ordinary sects and gangs, the power structure of the Sword Forging City was extremely loose.
The entire city is made up of a group of craftsmen obsessed with refining weapons and the cultivators around them. The best weapons and magic weapons in the world come from here. More and more cultivators come here to visit, and more and more people are protecting this city.
In Sword Forging City, heroes are never judged by their cultivation, but by their weapon-making skills. There is an annual city-wide competition, and the winner will be awarded the title of "Ghost Axe" of the year.
The "ghost axe" of Sword Forging City means the best weapon refiner in the world.
Although there are some other craftsmen who have been awarded the title of Ghost Axe, the most famous and outstanding thing in Sword Forge City is naturally sword forging, and those who usually receive this honor are swordsmiths.
If a carpenter can get the title of Ghost Axe, it means that he must have extremely extraordinary attainments.
"The name Wooden King was also started at that time..." the old Taoist continued.
"It's a pity that such a talented person suddenly became ambitious for some reason and wanted to usurp the position of the Lord of Sword Forging City and lead Sword Forging City onto another path..."
He shook his head and sighed, "After a bloody dispute, the usurpation of the throne failed. The Lord of Sword Forging City still pitied his talent and was reluctant to kill him. But if he was allowed to leave intact, where would the laws of Sword Forging City be? In the end, everyone decided to gouge out his eyes, abolish his cultivation, and expel him from Sword Forging City."
"Such a useless person, who knows what kind of opportunity he had later, actually regained the ability to refine wooden figures, and even made it to a higher level."
"Many years later, a wooden man with great magical powers appeared in the demon sect Yanyue Sect. He killed his way to the throne of the Five Dharma Kings."
Yu Qian'an looked at Li Maoqing again, "Just beheading the wooden man will never really kill it. After all, the wooden man is just a puppet. The real person behind the scenes is still the craftsman who made the wooden man."
"So... this is the origin of the Wooden King." Li Maoqing nodded in understanding. Suddenly, he raised his eyes and looked at Yu Qian'an: "This secret story has never been heard of in the martial arts world. How did you know about it, Master Yu?"
"Forehead……"
The old Taoist smiled and stroked his beard.
"This is considered a scandal in Sword Forging City, so it will naturally not be spread out... As for me, a friend in Sword Forging City told me about it."
"Master Yu has a wide circle of friends," said Li Maoqing.
"Yes." Yu Qian'an was not modest and said with emotion: "When I was young, I had no other hobbies except this. I would feel uncomfortable if I didn't do it for a day. It's a pity that I am old now and can't do it anymore."
Li Maoqing was stunned for a moment, "What does this have to do with age?"
"My kidneys are failing." Yu Qian'an replied.
Li Maoqing: “?”
…
"Speaking of this..."
Li Chu thought of the blind man he met in southern Xinjiang.
He had always felt that the blind man was quite suspicious. For some reason, after listening to his master's explanation, he seemed to have a premonition that the blind man should be the mysterious Wooden King himself!
only……
The two times he appeared before, he clearly led people to the place where the eight demons in Luxian City were, and they should be in a cooperative relationship...
Could it be...
He had some vague guesses in his mind.
After this matter was made known, the two old fellows, Li Maoqing and Yu Qian'an, immediately began to make plans.
"So..." Li Maoqing nodded and said, "The man you met is most likely the Wooden King himself. Otherwise, who would know everything about what those demons did?"
"And he may know you..." Yu Qian'an said, "It must be related to what you did in Shenluo City. Although the news of you beheading Lord Canghai's soul has not been spread, the people in the Demon Sect should still know about it."
"That is to say..." Li Chu said, "Those demons also have their own agenda."
"It's very likely." Yu Qian'an nodded. "They are a bunch of bad guys. It's not surprising that they get together to plot against each other. I think that although the Wooden Man King used the power of the Luxian City to find the Fuhuang Tomb and awaken the Fuhuang Demon Body, he didn't really want to help them bring the Luxian City to the world. Maybe he just wanted a puppet with an invincible body..."
"That's right." Li Maoqing also agreed with this guess, "It seems that everything was planned in advance. The only mistake he made was probably that your cultivation level was so strong..."
"Otherwise he will get the body of Fuhuang Demon, send the Eight Demons back to Luxian City, and then get rid of you to avenge Lord Canghai..."
Li Maoqing frowned and said with deep fear: "This beast is insidious and cunning, and his plan is really deep."
“Such a scheme…” Yu Qian’an agreed, “Compared to the Imperial Master who even lost to me at chess, this is so much better.”
Li Maoqing: “…”
…
After chatting for a while, the little koi came back from outside.
She should have just got home from school, but looking at her face, she didn't look cheerful and lively as usual, instead she looked worried.
When Lao Du saw her, he asked, "What happened to Miss Yue'er?"
Li Chu noticed it and looked over.
The little koi frowned, sat on the stool, and said in a slightly confused tone: "I've been meeting some very strange people recently..."
"Who?" Li Chu asked.
"On the way to and from school... there's always someone following me..." Xiaoyue scratched her head.
"Hmm?" The old Taoist priest also came over, looking nervous, "Could it be that someone is planning something bad to my Yue'er?"
Li Chu's hand was already on the hilt of the sword.
Dulanke felt the murderous aura that erupted from the master and disciple at the same time, and was grimacing with fear. For the first time, he felt so deeply that the little koi's status as a pet was so firm and unshakable.
"They don't seem to be bad people. They just kept muttering some very strange things to me, and sometimes they would bow to me..." Xiao Yue blinked her clear eyes, "Bow?"
"Clam?"
Several people were a little puzzled, what was going on? "How about this, you go to school tomorrow and I'll follow you and take a look." Li Chu thought for a moment and said, "We have to investigate it thoroughly. After all, we have to be on guard against others."
"That's great." Yu Qian'an also nodded in agreement.
The next morning, the little koi fish went to the school with the fox girl again.
Li Chu followed far behind, monitoring everything around him with his mind.
After a while, there were indeed a few auras that gathered behind the little koi fish stealthily, walking and stopping along the way, and they were definitely following it.
And as she moved forward, the group of people grew larger and larger.
But... we are all mortals.
Although the aura of these mortals could not pose any threat to the two little goblins, for safety reasons, Li Chu still planned to teach them a lesson to prevent them from having any ill intentions and causing trouble.
After the two little girls entered the school, Li Chu followed them.
Just outside the school, a group of people...
Li Chu looked at the faces of these people. They were all uncles, uncles, aunts and grandmothers living in the vicinity of Yuhang Town. Many of them were familiar faces from Deyun Temple. Although some others were unfamiliar, they certainly did not look like bad people.
"Uh..." The threat that was about to come out of his mouth suddenly couldn't be uttered.
On the contrary, when the villagers saw Li Chu, they greeted him enthusiastically without any hesitation, "Hey, isn't this Taoist Priest Li?"
"Long time no see, why are you here too?"
"Master Xiao Li, have you eaten yet?"
"Are you married yet?"
"Yes, Taoist Xiao Li, how old are you this year? Are you planning to get married?"
"My relative has a..."
Seeing that the topic suddenly went off track, Li Chu quickly raised his hand to stop everyone from talking, and pulled it back to the topic, "Why are you all chasing Yue'er all the way to school?"
"Well..." An auntie smiled, "We are worshipping Miss Yue'er."
"Welcome Xiaoyue?" Li Chu asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Hehe..." The aunt smiled embarrassedly, "I want to have another child this year..."
"Um?"
"I want to find another companion." Another old man said.
Everyone talked at once and expressed their wishes.
"But..." Li Chu explained: "Even if Yue'er is a koi, she only has a little more luck, and it's not enough to make your wish come true."
"Who said we can't!" An old lady glared at him, "Master Li, don't hide it. We all know it a long time ago. Miss Yue'er is extraordinary. My nephew said that in their school, as long as they worship her before the exam, they can get high scores. Later, a student's family member was sick, so they worshipped her as a last resort. Guess what, the next day the person's illness was cured! Since then, many people who come to Miss Yue'er to make wishes have had their wishes come true!"
Li Chu wanted to refute it at the first moment, because he felt that this might just be an individual superstitious deviation, just like people who go to pray to gods and Buddhas. Those whose wishes come true will believe it is true, and those whose wishes do not come true will not come again.
But after a pause, he suddenly realized that many of these villagers had known Xiaoyue'er for a long time. Earlier, she had sold handwritten amulets in Deyun Temple, but later she stopped this business because her income increased and she went to school. Even if she wanted to be superstitious, she didn't have to start today.
Could there really be a reason? Thinking of this, he opened his mind again and looked at Xiaoyueer in the school.
Upon closer inspection, I discovered that Xiao Yue'er's majestic, colorful vortex of luck was much stronger than before, almost obscuring the aura of everyone in the room.
From time to time, drops of colorful, liquid-like luck would fall from the thick colorful clouds.
It was like... a rain cloud? In the small area centered on her, everyone was shrouded in the drizzle. Every drop of colorful "rain" that fell on their bodies would cause their luck to fluctuate suddenly.
What's going on?
Li Chu was full of doubts and hurried back to the Taoist temple.
During this period of time, I have been running around outside all the time, and I have indeed neglected the changes in the people around me. Now that Xiaoyue'er is so lucky, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
"Luck turns into rain?!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Qian'an did not say anything. Li Maoqing first stared in shock and said several times: "This... this... this..."
"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" Li Chu asked anxiously.
"Since the Imperial Master knows, let him explain." Yu Qian'an raised his hand.
"This is just a legend. This is the first time I've heard of such a strange phenomenon." Li Maoqing frowned and said, "I just regret that my cultivation cannot be restored at this time, otherwise I would really like to use the Qi-gazing technique to see it myself."
"It is said that only when one reaches the realm of an immortal can such a 'legacy'-like phenomenon appear." Li Maoqing began to say: "As the old saying goes, 'If one person attains enlightenment, all his family members will ascend to heaven'..."
"According to ancient legends, wherever demons and immortals pass by, they will leave a trace of Taoism, which can transform animals into demons..."
"Whenever the dragon passes through the water, all the fish and shrimp will turn into dragons..."
"There are even women who can conceive a divine fetus by touching the footprints left by the gods..."
"The birth of these legends is similar to this phenomenon of 'the legacy of luck'. Perhaps because there is an upper limit to the luck that the human world can accommodate, if the luck of the immortals exceeds that limit, it will be shared with everything around them."
"But this is just a legend!" Li Maoqing emphasized again, "After the ancient times, who in the world has ever seen a real immortal? The idea of immortal fate is illusory and there is no such thing as a real thing. If Miss Xiaoyue can really achieve the legacy of luck, could it be..."
"Not really..."
Yu Qian'an quickly waved his hand to stop the Imperial Master from having wild thoughts.
"Good fellow, you are getting more and more ridiculous... Xiaoyue will ascend to heaven in broad daylight soon..."
"If I were to guess, Xiaoyue'er is a rare seven-colored koi, and her luck is already at the top of the world. Maybe after she recognized Li Chu as her master...the connection was weak at first, but as time went on, the connection between the two became deeper. In this way, as Li Chu's cultivation increased, Xiaoyue'er's luck would also increase. Maybe over time, she broke through some so-called 'realm'."
The old Taoist priest analyzed it logically, as if he didn't find it strange at all.
In order to appear less like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, the Imperial Master cleared his throat and suppressed his surprise.
But the shock in my heart is still inevitable.
Since moving into the Deyun Temple, he has often encountered new surprises. He thought he was almost used to it, but new things kept happening.
However, such a strange phenomenon would be publicized sooner or later, so the master and disciple discussed it seriously.
In the evening, when Little Koi came back, he saw Yu Qian'an and Li Chuji sitting there seriously.
There is also a thick book on the stone table.
"Hmm..." Looking at this atmosphere, the little koi pouted, "Just came back from school, do you want to study again?"
"I'm not asking you to study, I'm asking you to practice." Li Chu said.
"This is the ancient Huaxu Kingdom's treasured book, the Huaxu Sutra. Chen Fuhuang relied on this to become the best in the world." Li Chu said, "Now your body is showing some abnormalities, and I can't always be by your side. You must practice diligently and acquire the ability to protect yourself as soon as possible."
This "Hua Xu Sutra" can only be practiced by women, so it is of no use to him, but it is just right for the little koi and the fox girl to practice.
As they were talking here, there was another burst of chaotic noise coming from the other side.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Little Fatty Dragon ran into the yard covered in mud, his mouth wide open. A Wang Long Qi ran out right behind him, also grinning happily. It was hard to tell who was walking who.
"Haha." Wang Longqi was chasing and fighting with Little Fatty Dragon. When he saw Little Koi, he immediately stopped and came over, then...
He bowed to her very seriously.
"What are you doing..." The little koi was worried about the increased training required, and seeing him like this, he frowned and asked.
"Make a wish..." Wang Longqi raised his head calmly and said, "Now it has spread outside. I am also your follower."
"Hmm?" The little koi looked confused, "What do you mean?"
"Don't you know?" Wang Longqi smiled and blinked, and said loudly:
"Moon Worship Cult!"
It is said that a new version has been released, and the extra-chapter problem has been solved? Have you updated the app to try it? (End of this chapter)
