The eerie atmosphere underground wasn't long before it was completely cleared away!
Hou Wenjie used the Shrinking Earth to an Inch technique again, arriving beside the Jingzhou Cauldron. He then summoned the Taiji Diagram once more, drawing out all the strange things from the skulls!
Under the watchful eye of heaven, those skulls turned to ashes!
Now that the strange occurrences were gone, Hou Wenjie also took the Jingzhou Cauldron.
Having lived in this world for so long, the first strange event I heard about was in Luomen Village. Now, I have achieved the Golden Core and eliminated the strangeness, also in Luomen Village!
All I can say is that fate is truly wondrous.
As Hou Wenjie put the Jingzhou Cauldron into his Ruyi Qiankun Bag, the space he was in completely collapsed.
He has returned to reality!
When he turned on his phone, he found that there were hundreds of missed calls and a lot of messages on WeChat.
The person who calls him the most is Lao Feng, Feng Hongtu!
Hou Wenjie called him back.
As soon as the call connected, Feng Hongtu asked eagerly:
"Brother, I haven't been able to reach you these past few days. Are you alright?"
Hou Wenjie never expected that a week would pass just because he was refining a magic weapon!
So he quickly said, "It's nothing, I was just making a magical artifact to deal with the strange creatures and I lost track of time."
"I'm so glad you're alright!"
Feng Hongtu let out a sigh of relief before speaking in a low voice:
"Just last night, a major and bizarre incident occurred in Tianhai City!"
The entire city was shrouded in an eerie black fog, and the fate of all its inhabitants remained unknown!
The Bureau of Ghost Stories has been unable to contact you, so they sent in a team of seven of their best people to see if they could resolve the issue. Unfortunately, there's still no news!
Hou Wenjie's expression was grave. He said, "Human life is at stake. There's no time to lose. Tell the Bureau of Mysterious Affairs that I'll be there right away!"
As he spoke, Hou Wenjie, who had cultivated the Yang God, used the Ruyi Wind and Fire Wheels in his physical body for the first time!
As a true Taoist supernatural power, the Ruyi Wind and Fire Wheels are many times faster than the bizarre version of Shrinking the Earth to an Inch that he used before!
No wonder it says in Journey to the West that a single somersault can cover 108,000 li!
Hou Wenjie's Wind and Fire Wheels can actually transform into various forms such as the Somersault Cloud and Lotus Platform, and their speed is naturally outstanding.
In the blink of an eye, he had appeared outside Tianhai City.
He was particularly eye-catching as he flew through the air on his fiery wheels!
A member of the Bureau of Mysteries, holding a telescope, clearly saw that the person standing in the air was none other than Hou Wenjie, who was famous on the internal network.
Without hesitation, he immediately reported the information to his superiors and posted it on the Bureau of Ghostly Affairs website:
Hou Wenjie has appeared in the skies above Tianhai City!
The moment this post was published, the Ghost Affairs Bureau's website exploded with discussion.
"Finally, the missing person has returned! I was worried that something bad had happened to him; that would have been a great loss to the Great Han's Sealed Ghost Realm!"
"Shouldn't this predicament in Tianhai City be resolved now? After all, Boss Hou is the one who sank He Island!"
"Unfortunately, we still have some strange things to deal with here and can't come to Tianhai's aid. The incident with Hedao was about destruction, but this time it's about rescuing people! I'm a little worried! Let's pray for the people of Tianhai!"
"Our boss is trapped inside. We hope he's still alive and can wait for Boss Hou's rescue!"
…
Hou Wenjie's return was a shot in the arm for all the Fenggui people in the Great Han Dynasty!
This is a truly legendary figure who directly caused the sinking of Kazuo Island in World War I!
No amount of praise is too much!
Although some people still expressed concerns about the rescue, no one doubted his ability to overcome the supernatural!
Faced with the city shrouded in black fog, Hou Wenjie knew that his primary task was to save lives!
Hou Wenjie has already learned the Dharma Body of the monk Kukai through those fragmented memory pieces! As long as he adds a Painted Skin Ghost outside, he can move as lightly as paper and doesn't have to worry about causing any harm to this land!
Without hesitation, he chanted, "Dharma Form of Heaven and Earth!"
In an instant, he became enormous!
At this moment, Hou Wenjie's appearance was that of a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown on his head, wearing a golden chainmail, wearing lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes, and holding a Ruyi Jingu Bang (magic staff). He was none other than Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, the Monkey King of the Water Curtain Cave of Flower and Fruit Mountain!
Hou Wenjie, transformed into Sun Wukong, leaped onto the sky above the city center of Tianhai City in a somersault!
Without the slightest hesitation, he brought out his most precious treasure, the Taiji Diagram!
This Taiji diagram, forged from the Hetu and Luoshu, shone brightly once more, spinning in the air like a whale sucking in water!
A large amount of black mist was drawn into the Tai Chi diagram!
However, in Tianhai City, due to strange influences, human desires and emotions have been amplified!
On the main street.
Some people's anger was so intense that their veins were bulging.
Some people, amplified by greed, have eyes that have turned bloodshot.
Some people have lost control of their lust because of its amplification.
…
If not stopped in time, a terrible man-made disaster will soon erupt!
Faced with this situation, Hou Wenjie did not hesitate and activated a circle on the Ruyi Jingu Bang, which represented the ability to block the strange and mysterious!
The "Isolation Gu" can block a person's sight and hearing, rendering them unable to see or hear, putting them in a state of living dead!
But it's perfect for this situation!
Hou Wenjie was inspired by the monk Kukai. It must be said that this man's death was still valuable; the Ruyi Jingu Bang (magic staff) was truly ingenious.
Hou Wenjie slightly activated the Gu-blocking technique, quieting down the chaotic crowd on the street. Then, he used his Heavenly Eye to dispel the eerie aura emanating from them!
Then, as he landed on his somersault cloud, he recited a poem:
"When the wind and thunder rise from the earth, spirits are born from piles of white bones."
Monks, though foolish, can still be taught; demons, though evil spirits, will surely bring disaster.
The golden monkey wields its mighty cudgel, clearing the jade sky of dust for ten thousand miles.
Today we cheer for the Great Sage Sun, only because the demonic fog has returned.
As a large amount of black fog was rapidly absorbed by the Tai Chi diagram, the visibility in Tianhai City immediately increased significantly!
Hearing Hou Wenjie's magnificent poem and seeing the majestic and awe-inspiring image of the Monkey King, many people who have read "Journey to the West" exclaimed in amazement!
"That's... the Great Sage Equal to Heaven... Sun Wukong!"
"The Monkey King!"
"Is this for real?! There really are... immortals!"
"Ah... the Great Sage Equal to Heaven! The Great Sage Equal to Heaven has come to save us!"
…
As soon as Hou Wenjie landed, his Sky Eye scanned the surroundings and he saw the building engulfed in flames not far away, and heard the wails of agony coming from inside.
In a single step, Hou Wenjie arrived beside the building and chanted, "Summoning wind and rain!"
As Hou Wenjie finished speaking, a cold wind howled and eerie rain began to fall!
The fire and thick smoke were instantly dissolved like bubbles in the face of this truly bizarre power!
Hou Wenjie then used his Heavenly Eye to illuminate the entire building, eliminating the eerie aura left inside!
Those rescued from inside the building burst into tears of joy!
They actually survived! They miraculously survived!!
Many people looked out the window and saw Hou Wenjie, who looked like a god descending to earth!
There are already many images of the Monkey King circulating on the internet!
Many of them naturally recognized who it was!
Someone shouted.
"We're saved! Journey to the West is real! The Monkey King has come to our rescue!"
"Monkey King, thank you, thank you for saving my daughter and wife... thank you!"
"Sun Wukong is here! Sun Wukong, who can transform into seventy-two forms, is here! We are all saved!"
A child being held in an adult's arms saw the incredibly imposing Sun Wukong outside.
They babbled and cried out, reaching out with their little hands, some even clapping their pink little hands.
"A monkey! It's a monkey!"
"Eeya, eeya! Monkey, monkey!"
The children's eyes shone with a clear light, filled with curiosity, joy, fun, or something else. This scene may become one of the most memorable moments of their childhood.
Hou Wenjie, transformed into the Monkey King, traversed the city, becoming an outstanding firefighter to extinguish fires and rescue disaster-stricken people.
Beside the collapsing building, Hou Wenjie stretched out his giant hand, allowing all the survivors to stand on it.
The survivors looked up at Sun Wukong, who seemed to be a god descending to earth, and without hesitation, they all stepped onto the giant palm that was as big as a square.
After everyone had arrived at the palm of his hand, Hou Wenjie escorted them to a safe place.
Beside the ruins, Hou Wenjie's all-seeing eye pierced through everything! He saw people struggling to survive beneath the rubble.
He used his supernatural powers to descend to the underworld, using the Yazi Ghost Ship to guide everyone back to the ground, and then transferred them to a safe place!
Hou Wenjie's feet have traversed every corner of this city!
All the Tianhai people were filled with shock and joy!
They all saw the colossal Monkey King, as large as a mountain! They watched his enormous body walk through the city, saving one person after another.
In the temporary command center of the Bureau of Mysteries, all the high-ranking officials witnessed these shocking scenes via satellite!
The bureau chief, watching the scenes unfold on the screen, had tears in his eyes and clapped his hands in praise:
"What a wonderful line: 'Today we cheer for the Great Sage Sun, only because the demonic fog has returned!' It seems our previous worries were really unnecessary; Hou Wenjie's values are quite sound!"
The other executives nearby also felt relieved, staring at the scene on the screen, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
It didn't take long for Hou Wenjie to quell all the unrest.
Then, he came to the source of the strangeness and saw a monster with eight heads and a snake's body.
Beside it was a seven-person elite team sent by the Bureau of Mysteries.
At this moment, all seven people were seriously injured. Their bodies were also shrouded in black mist, indicating they had suffered considerable damage.
Hou Wenjie's eyes shone directly on them!
At this moment, he used his supernatural ability, "Universe in the Sleeve," to grab all the black energy from everyone and then suppress it at the bottom of their consciousness!
The seven of them had already seen Hou Wenjie, but at this moment, when Hou Wenjie stood in front of them, their hearts were still filled with shock!
One of them shouted, "Are you really the Monkey King, Sun Wukong?"
Unexpectedly, his shout startled the eerie eight-headed snake-bodied creature opposite him.
"Sun Wukong... Sun Wukong! Sun Wukong... He's already dead! He died of old age under the Five Elements Mountain!" The eight-headed, snake-bodied monster's extremely hoarse voice echoed through the air.
"Oh?" Hou Wenjie's eyes returned to the giant snake, and he said calmly, "What are you?"
The eight-headed serpent shook its heads, and a hoarse, ventriloquist-like sound reverberated through the air:
“I existed when King Yu was controlling the floods, and people at that time called me Xiangliu.”
I have survived to this day using the semi-asleep, semi-awake fetal breathing method since ancient times.
The people of Heishan call me Yamata no Orochi!
"So, you've been sleeping on He Island all this time?"
Hou Wenjie began to understand; it turned out that this disaster was related to him.
He fought a great battle with the monk Kukai, causing the island of Kazuma to sink. Then, the sinking of Kazuma caused the Yamata no Orochi, who was in a state of embryonic breathing, to awaken.
Then, it came to this coastal city and unleashed a bizarre disaster.
Now that you understand the cause and effect, it's time to get to work.
Hou Wenjie read aloud, "Come on!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Tai Chi diagram that had been hovering over Tianhai City instantly arrived above the head of the eight-headed serpent!
Then, before the ancient monster could launch any useful attack, it was sucked into the Tai Chi diagram.
It's that simple and straightforward.
The big boss? Doesn't exist!
For Hou Wenjie now, he can be said to be invincible in this world.
The Taiji diagram, formed by combining the Hetu and Luoshu, can directly reverse life and death; any strange occurrences are nothing but a piece of cake.
Once the strange phenomenon was cleared away, Hou Wenjie returned to normal.
Now, all the members of the 7-person team recognized him.
"You are... Hou Wenjie!"
"Boss Hou!"
"A god-slaying powerhouse! Terrifying indeed!"
…
Hou Wenjie smiled slightly, and his spiritual light shone on them again, causing their wounds to heal quickly.
"Could this be the legendary Holy Light spell?" One of the team members touched his healed arm, his eyes wide with surprise.
"You're talking nonsense! Holy Light is a Western spell, this is clearly a Rejuvenation spell!" Another teammate elbowed him.
Hou Wenjie looked at the seven people who were staggering and said with a smile, "I'll see you out!"
All seven nodded quickly. Then they stood up and went to Hou Wenjie's side.
Hou Wenjie nodded and chanted, "Somersault Cloud!"
As he finished speaking, the cloud formed by the Ruyi Wind and Fire Wheel floated out of his sea of consciousness and came to Hou Wenjie's front.
Hou Wenjie looked at the seven people and said with a smile, "Let's go up!"
"Okay, okay!" The seven were a little dazed, but they still stood on the somersault cloud.
Then, they sensed the strangeness of the Somersault Cloud.
Standing on it, your feet feel incredibly soft, and it doesn't sink at all. It's an amazing experience.
The seven men looked at each other, two of them already revealing knowing smiles.
Hou Wenjie also stepped onto the somersault cloud.
Then, after asking the seven people for the landing location, Hou Wenjie said, "Go!"
In the blink of an eye, the Somersault Cloud landed next to the temporary command post of the Bureau of Strange Events.
We've arrived! The seven of them were once again awestruck. The elevator didn't even go that fast from the first floor to the second. Sigh, the past can only be reminisced about.
…
Hou Wenjie met Zhang Zhenguo, the director of the Bureau of Strange Tales, for the first time.
Zhang Zhenguo gripped Hou Wenjie's hand tightly: "Wenjie! You saved so many people at once, you are now the pride of our Han Dynasty! Don't worry. No one can forget your contributions, we will petition the higher authorities to award you the honors you deserve!"
Hou Wenjie said, "I was just doing my job as a Feng Guiren."
Next, Hou Wenjie met all the high-ranking officials of the Bureau of Strange Tales, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries with each of them.
The reconstruction work in Tianhai City has been taken over by the military control department.
The Bureau of Strange Tales has completed its work.
After reporting the handling of this strange incident to the senior executives, Hou Wenjie left.
He rode on a somersault cloud, determined to do one thing: fulfill the original owner's obsession.
As the somersault cloud rose and fell, Hou Wenjie arrived at his destination, Dachuan City, Yangshan Town, Macun!
In front of a bungalow in the village, Hou Wenjie saw his aunt Tu Cuiyun.
My aunt's appearance hasn't aged. Perhaps it's because Yuan Caiwei, as the former water goddess, fed my aunt some beauty-enhancing foods.
My aunt's eyes looked dull and lifeless.
Without hesitation, Hou Wenjie's Yang Shen Dan Ying flew out and leaped into his aunt's sea of consciousness.
Looking at his aunt's shattered sea of consciousness, Dan Ying released ten thousand rays of light, and wisps of cyan and white energy filled the gaps in the sea of consciousness.
Time slowly passed, and all the gaps were filled with a bluish-white aura, allowing the sea of consciousness to once again bear the spirit.
Dan Ying returned to Hou Wenjie's sea of consciousness. He saw his aunt's blank eyes regain their liveliness, and she curiously looked around at the world.
At this time, although Aunt Tu Cuiyun had returned to normal, her mental age was only that of a seven or eight-year-old, and she still needed to grow up again!
"Auntie!" Hou Wenjie called out.
His aunt walked up to him, looking at him with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Who are you?"
Hou Wenjie smiled and said, "I am your little nephew."
The aunt seemed to sense a hint of familiarity from the person in front of her. "Are you my little nephew?"
“Yes!” Hou Wenjie replied.
My aunt blinked her bright eyes, "Then call me 'Auntie' again!"
"Auntie!"
"Little...nephew!"
…
Hou Wenjie left with his aunt, and he also cleansed the strange aura emanating from the village elders.
He arranged for his aunt to attend Yunmengze Special School. Every night, Hou Wenjie would come to see her and listen to her tell happy stories, just like when his aunt listened to him tell happy stories when they were little.
In his spare time, Hou Wenjie either meditates or seals away evil spirits.
During this period, he also acquired some ancient divine objects, such as the Dragon Head Guillotine, the Mountain and River Seal, and other divine objects.
He also rode the somersault cloud to find the legendary celestial realm.
Inside, only the South Heavenly Gate remained, along with various ruins. He saw the broken plaque of the Lingxiao Palace, but he did not see the legendary peach tree.
Time passed day by day.
During this period, Hou Wenjie saw news reports about the inhumane atrocities committed by some warlords in Bagan against the Chinese people.
Hou Wenjie, with a single thought, imprisoned all these people in the underworld and chained them to the Avici Hell God Stele. From then on, these people could never be reborn!
As Dan Ying grew day by day and was about to transform into a Dharma body, Hou Wenjie began the reconstruction of the underworld.
He refined the Flower and Fruit Mountain Grotto, the Purple Mystery Cave Illuminating the Sky, the Eastern Pure Land of Glazed Glass, and the broken Heavenly Realm, combining them all into a Hell Realm.
Then, he established the Ten Kings of Hell.
In the first hall, the Mirror of Karma was forged.
The Mirror of Retribution observes a person's good and evil deeds throughout their life. If evil outweighs good, then one will suffer the torments of hell.
In the second hall, the Great Hell of Refining Ice.
In the third hall, there is the Great Hell of Refining Black Ropes.
…
In the fifth hall, at the Terrace of Longing for Home!
…
In the Ninth Hall, there is the Avici Hell.
In the tenth palace, the Tai Chi diagram was used to suppress it! After reversing the bizarre situation, it was reincarnated!
Hou Wenjie reported his plan to rebuild the underworld, noting that he was still short of underworld officials to handle the work.
The job requirements are: good character, must be able to pass the Netherworld Mirror test, outstanding work ability, and able to work night shifts.
Ultimately, Hou Wenjie helped the country solve the insomnia problem for many senior scientists.
These elderly people contributed to the country when they were young, and now that they are old, they can still contribute in their dreams. They have done a great service.
One day, Hou Wenjie suddenly felt that his Dan Ying had reached complete perfection, and he knew that he had to leave.
I just don't know if this is a true ascension or a time travel like before?
