Chapter 324: Adding fuel to the fire, making an indelible contribution
Seeing Gong Mengbi, General Turtle felt certain and said, "My Lord, you are finally awake."
He pointed at the Water Palace and said, "You sealed off the Water Palace with your Taoist magic, and now the guards are still trapped inside. Many sailors fled last night and had nowhere to go. I recruited them, and now they are very uneasy."
General Turtle had heard what happened last night. Although Gong Mengbi did not have time to tell him, the sailors who escaped from Jinhua City told him everything.
The water god of Wujiang River violated the laws of heaven and was captured by Qiantang Lord, where he met a miserable end.
But those sailors who were frightened by Qiantang Jun's momentum and fell into Jinhua City were not much better off.
If the Jinhua City God can’t do anything to the Wujiang River God, can he do nothing to these small fry?
General Nian and others who went to attack Jinhua City were killed by the City God to vent his anger. Only General Yinhuan escaped with his life, but half of his body was beaten to pieces and he is still unconscious.
The sailors were even more miserable. No one knew how many were killed. Only one in ten escaped back to the Water Palace. Only a few were left. That's why they were so easily intimidated by General Turtle.
General Turtle said, "It's a good thing the Immortal has woken up. I was worried that someone from above would come to investigate the case of the Wujiang River God, and I would not be able to report back."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you."
He brought General Turtle into the Water Palace and passed through the remnants of the defeated troops stationed in front of the Water Palace, but these sailors ignored them, as if they had not seen them.
General Turtle glanced around and couldn't help but admire Gong Mengbi.
Walking into the mist curtain of the water palace, Gong Mengbi waved his hand and the small golden furnace fell into his hand.
The mist and clouds gathered, and were absorbed into the small golden furnace.
The guards who were immersed in the illusion of clouds and mist fell to the ground and had not yet woken up.
Gong Mengbi pushed open the bedroom of the Wujiang River God, took out the Wujiang River map from the Dragon-Suppressing Cauldron, and put it back on the wall.
General Turtle breathed a sigh of relief.
Other treasures are fine, but the Wujiang Water Map is a magical artifact that controls the water in Wujiang River. It is not an ordinary magic weapon. If it is taken away by Gong Mengbi, the Wujiang Water Palace will have irreparable flaws in the future, and regulating the water vapor will become extremely difficult. This is not a good thing for the entire Wujiang water clan.
General Turtle bowed to Gong Mengbi and said, "Your Excellency, the Immortal is righteous."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "I'm glad you don't blame me. Talk about noble principles. The Wujiang River Water Palace has fallen to this point. Although it was caused by the Wujiang River God's willful behavior, I also contributed to the situation."
General Turtle said sadly, "This matter cannot be blamed on the Immortal. The Water God is stubborn and self-willed. He is a god but not wise, an immortal but not effective. Even without the Immortal, he would have brought the Wujiang Water Palace to its doom sooner or later. The Immortal's agitation has only led to its premature decline, and in turn preserved a glimmer of hope for the Water Palace."
Gong Mengbi looked at General Turtle with admiration and said, "You see clearly."
General Turtle looked at the devastated room and asked carefully, "If my superiors come to investigate, what will I say?"
Gong Mengbi looked at the mottled walls, coughed lightly, and said, "Just blame it on the old nanny. There's no need to explain it clearly. Just say she's missing."
General Turtle understood.
It is reasonable that the water god of Wujiang River was captured and his wet nurse stole the treasure and fled for fear of punishment.
Gong Mengbi asked, "Where is Hua Yin's body?"
General Turtle led Gong Mengbi out and found Madam Huayin's body in the crevices of the rocks next to his cave.
Looking at Madam Huayin's corpse, Gong Mengbi's expression became solemn.
General Turtle bravely asked, "Why did the Immortal kill Madam Hua Yin?"
Gong Mengbi glanced at him and said, "How dare you ask."
General Turtle said awkwardly, "The Immortal is kindhearted and would not kill people for no reason."
Gong Mengbi said quietly, "If you see this person again in the future, you must be extremely careful."
General Turtle was puzzled.
Gong Mengbi said in a deep voice: "Madam Hua Yin is a master of the magic way. Your Water God can be what he is today, and Madam Hua Yin has made an indelible contribution."
General Turtle was shocked, but when he thought about it carefully, he found that just as Gong Mengbi said, the water god of Wujiang River made mistakes, and every single one of them was inextricably linked to Madam Huayin.
Gong Mengbi didn't say anything more, but just encouraged him: "Okay, practice well, follow the right path, and sooner or later, you will achieve the right result."
General Turtle bowed and said, "I respectfully send you off, Immortal."
Gong Mengbi rolled up Madam Huayin's body, and his figure faded in the water, disappearing from General Turtle's perception.
General Turtle raised his head and looked again, but there was no trace of the Water Moon Immortal. Although the immortal's methods were unfathomable and awe-inspiring, the fact that he was really gone made General Turtle feel lost.
Gong Mengbi brought Madam Huayin's body back to Lanyin Mountain. Before he had time to heal his wounds, he hurriedly offered sacrifices at the Taishan Goddess Temple.
Madam Huayin wasn't considered strong, at least not in front of Gong Mengbi. But Madam Huayin's master, the spirit that had taken over her body, was no easy task.
Gong Mengbi won by a narrow margin, but it was only because he occupied the advantage of terrain and took advantage of Madam Huayin's weak magical power, which forced the man to burn his blood and turn into a rainbow, and then he took Madam Huayin's spirit and escaped.
But he himself was also seriously injured. He spent a whole night in General Turtle's cave healing with the Qi-regulating technique before he recovered some strength and hurried back to Lanyin Mountain.
Madam Huayin's body and the sword of gods and demons were placed in the hall. Gong Mengbi burned incense and prayed to the gods, first inviting the Queen Mother of Mount Tai and then the Jade Fairy Goddess. He reported Madam Huayin's affairs to the emperor without hiding anything.
Although he went to Wujiang to do bad things, after discovering the incident with Madam Huayin, he turned from doing bad things to doing good things.
Everything started with this invisible sword of gods and demons.
This sword is invisible and formless, forged from the secrets of gods and demons. The spirit within the sword is the spirit of God, the spirit of God who has gone astray and fallen into the devil's way.
Gong Mengbi acted ruthlessly because Madam Huayin's intention was not only to sever her worldly ties, but also to lure the water god of Wujiang River into the devil's way and refine him into a god or demon.
How bold, how terrifying!
Even without mentioning the wild gods between heaven and earth, most of them do not have the divine destiny. But the true gods who have been granted imperial decrees all have the divine destiny.
To introduce righteous gods into the evil way and refine them into gods and demons is to steal the destiny from the gods. In the human dynasty, it is equivalent to killing officials and rebelling.
Anyone who can do such a thing is either a peerless evildoer or an ancient demon, spreading endless harm and bringing disaster to the people.
Anyone who practices the right way will not tolerate such a thing.
If Gong Mengbi had not used the bright moon to reveal the true form of the sword, he might not have been willing to tear off his disguise and kill the person. It was a pity that Madam Hua Yin's soul escaped and could not be taken to Taishan Mansion for interrogation.
