Chapter 510: Believers, Stay, This is Your Fate
Master Liu lived in Changmen for many years, but except for the first time he met the Five-Power God, he never encountered him again.
So if you want to find out about the Five Gods, you have to go to the city.
Master Liu knew that there was a large Five Divine Powers Temple in the city. Although he had never been there, he had heard people mention it and vaguely remembered it.
I went to the city today and asked around a few times before finally finding the direction.
The Wutong Temple is broad and tall, with tall pagodas and towers. It is solemn and dignified, just like a proper palace for gods, and not at all like a shrine to evil gods or lewd gods.
Master Liu was reluctant to wear silk and satin, but those who came and went from the Wutong Temple all looked wealthy.
This temple is much larger and more imposing than the Fuji Temple. The receptionists who maintain the temple are dressed more elegantly than Master Liu, and these pilgrims are not ordinary people.
Master Liu stood not far from the Wutongshen Temple and looked at it. He actually felt ashamed of himself as a peasant coming to the city.
With just one glance, Master Liu realized that this Five-Power God was not as simple as he thought.
Then why could he easily kill one of the five monsters that day?
Master Liu wanted to go into the Wutong Temple to take a look, but he didn't dare to act rashly. He never liked to meddle in other people's affairs, and if someone didn't ask him for help, he wouldn't take action easily.
Meddling in other people's affairs often leads to trouble. If he went in and caused trouble now, these wealthy people would probably make it difficult for him to escape.
It was among this crowd that Master Liu saw another person.
The man looked pale and tired, swaying in front of the Wutong Temple, as if he wanted to go in but didn't dare.
Master Liu showed a delighted look, took two steps at a time and stepped forward, bowing and saying, "Good believer, nice to see you again."
These words actually gave the believer courage, and he walked around him and went straight to the Wutong Temple.
Master Liu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Please stay, believer."
The young man showed an angry expression and said, "Why are you staying? You fake wizard, you old liar!"
Master Liu gave a dry laugh, but revealed an unfathomable expression. He said, "Follower, you are being haunted by a demon. The talisman I gave you is ineffective. I am trying to paralyze the demon so I can find its true form."
"I thought you would come back after seeing that the talisman didn't work, but you actually left. If I wasn't worried about you, why would I come here to wait for you?"
The young man looked uncertain, but was intimidated by Master Liu's pretentious and calm demeanor. He finally asked, "Do you really have a solution?"
Master Liu said, "How can we know if we don't try again?"
The young man's expression relaxed and he said, "What do you say?"
Master Liu smiled and said, "Come with me."
Master Liu invited people to Fu Ji Temple again. When they arrived at Fu Ji Temple, the believers did nothing but went to worship Emperor Fu You first.
Even though he did not trust Master Liu, he showed extraordinary respect to Emperor Fuyou.
Master Liu was cheerful and invited him into the room to talk. He said, "Believer, when did this nightmare of yours begin?"
The young man's expression gradually revealed fear, and he said, "A month ago."
Master Liu looked at him encouragingly and asked him to continue.
The young man took a sip of water, collected himself, and said, "A month ago, I went to the Wutong Temple."
He glanced at Master Liu and said, "That's where you saw me today. I went there with a friend that day. My friend wanted to do business and make a lot of money, so he went to worship the Five Gods and borrow Yin debts."
Master Liu was moved and asked, "Borrowing a Yin debt?"
The young man nodded and said, "The shamans in the temple will ask the Wutong God to possess them and lend them the Yin debt. The gods will reward them abundantly and bring them worldly wealth. From then on, every year on the seventeenth day of the eighth month, they must go to Shangfang Mountain to worship Wutong, repay the Yin debt, and pay the principal and interest. If they cannot repay it, their descendants will repay it on their behalf."
Master Liu shuddered for a moment.
He is a dabbler, with only a vague understanding of many things, but he knows the pros and cons.
Ordinary people who borrow money at usury are often told: You have to pay back three times the original amount; interest compounds year after year; if you borrow money in one year, you have to pay it back in ten years; it will take you several lifetimes to pay it back.
How to repay the debt of Yin? Is Wutong God a kind-hearted almsgiver?
The Five-Power God can borrow Yin debts and borrow money from one’s lifetime to the next. What kind of magical power is this?
Master Liu recalled the people in his dream who were possessed by ghosts and spirits. What was their last cry? "Forgive the yin debt."
Everything fits together.
Master Liu managed to remain calm and asked, "Is that when you started having nightmares?"
The believer's eyes shrank as he sat on the stool, his body hunched over involuntarily. He said, "Yes. Since then, I've had nightmares every day. Master, Wutong is an evil god. Once you borrow a yin debt, you can't escape it in life or death, and your descendants will still be guilty."
"I didn't dare go to the Wutong Temple again, so I prayed to the gods and Buddhas. I went to the City God Temple, but it was useless. I consulted a shaman, but they also believed in the Wutong God. I came to you at someone's suggestion, but you couldn't solve the problem either. Today I plan to ask the Wutong God for mercy."
He suddenly muttered in a dream, his eyes losing their luster, and said, "They want to kill me. I know they want to kill me."
Master Liu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked the believer for divination based on his face. Although his divination skills were not very good, for some reason he figured out very clearly that the person in front of him was a person with purple energy in his destiny, and he would be rich and noble, like a dragon or a phoenix.
Master Liu's teeth were chattering as he exclaimed in shock, "Is this my fate? Is this my fate?"
The believer said in a cold voice, "This is my fate."
Master Liu was horrified. He heard that the believer's voice seemed to have changed, and when he looked over, it seemed that even his face had changed.
"Master, do you know the origin of the Five-Power God?"
Master Liu activated his magic power, gritted his teeth, raised his beard, and communicated with the emperor's divine power, transforming it into an invisible magic sword, and slashed at the believer with one sword.
With a loud crash.
Master Liu knocked over the tables and chairs and almost fell to the ground, and his sword missed.
The believer had stood by the window without knowing when, with his back to Master Liu, and said, "Master, I am here to save you, not to harm you."
"You have long since offended the Five Gods. Your name is already on their death list. They have already sent people to kill you."
Master Liu gritted his teeth and said, "It's not like I haven't killed Wutong Shen before."
The believer turned around to look at him. His voice and appearance seemed to have become someone else's, yet at the same time, remained unchanged. With a hint of mockery, he said, "Master, you killed Wu Chang, one of Wu Tong Shen's subordinates, not Wu Tong Shen himself."
"The Great King Wutong is a fourth-grade evil god. He commands 100,000 rampant gods, all of whom are ghosts and gods."
"Do you think you're dreaming? That's not a dream. That's your future."
"They will skin you alive and tear your bones apart."
The believer looked at his hands and said quietly, "This is his life, and your life as well."
