Chapter 607: The King of Wu has three sons
Captain Lang and Captain Hua gathered the dead bones and clothes in the courtyard, trembling like sieves and crying with fear.
Our Lady of Jizhita was lying contentedly in the room, her shadow cast by the light revealing her enchanting curves.
Captain Lang and Captain Hua had to clean up the mess, clean up the rotten bones left after the essence was sucked away, and clean up the clothes left by the ghosts that were eaten alive.
As attendants, they watched the meal from behind the door.
I saw the snow-white spider silk covering the entire courtyard, saw Our Lady of Jizhituo transformed into a monster, stabbing her mouthparts into the bodies of food, and heard the tragic and terrifying howls of the demons injected with venom, which were weak and powerless when they came out of the spider silk cocoons.
These practicing gods have very strong vitality, but they cannot withstand the poison of Our Lady Jizhituo.
Captain Lang and Captain Hua hugged each other, trembling all over, tears and snot flowing uncontrollably, their minds seized by fear.
They have always been good at sweet talk, have followed tigers, and have witnessed tigers eating people.
However, the horror and evil of Our Lady of Jizhituo still made them unable to control themselves, and those rampant gods whose Taoism was even more powerful than theirs were treated like pigs and dogs to be slaughtered.
Some of these demons were spirits with flesh, which transformed into flowing liquid in the venom and was sucked into the stomach of the Jizhituo Mother. Some of these demons were ghosts without flesh, but they would still transform into a pool of chaotic liquid in the venom and be consumed by the Jizhituo Mother.
Captain Lang and Captain Hua shivered as they gathered up the leftovers, rolled up the rotten bones and clothes, and prepared to bury them in the back mountain.
Only after they were far away from Zhuangzi did Captain Lang's suppressed sobs become visible a little bit.
"Why is this happening? Grandma has always been kind, how could this happen?"
Captain Hua's scales opened up in fear and he said, "That's not Grandma anymore, that's the Virgin Mary."
Captain Lang and Captain Hua looked at each other and were filled with sadness.
When they escaped from Longpan Mountain, they wandered around in groups, trying to make a living. Finally, they arrived in Gusu, heard about the reputation of Shangfang Mountain, and came to seek refuge there.
Because they were clever and likable, they were assigned to the old lady, responsible for taking care of her and entertaining her.
But now, the good times are over.
"Let's run away..." Captain Lang whispered.
Captain Hua glanced in Zhuangzi's direction and said, "I dare not..."
Next to Our Lady of Jizhita, they did not even have the courage to escape.
The well-fed Holy Mother Jizhituo had no time to care about the mood of these two little bugs. She was in a very good mood now. When she summoned Wutong and Jinting Daxian the next day, she was still kind and amiable.
Wutong breathed a sigh of relief, and Jinting Daxian's heart also slowly calmed down.
Our Lady of Jizhituo became younger again, and her youthfulness made the Five Gods feel unfamiliar.
She clearly still had the appearance of an old lady, but after becoming younger, the closeness in their hearts gradually faded away, and strangeness and weirdness filled their hearts.
Wutong took turns to report on his work.
King Tongfu said, "I have collected over three thousand extraordinary lives, all destined by fate, ready for mother's cultivation."
The Virgin of Jizhituo was very satisfied and said, "Love from nature is the most nourishing. I haven't tasted the flavor of nature for a long time. Please bring me a pot later."
King Tongfu agreed.
King Tongyou took up his post and presented two volumes of documents, saying, "This is the Yin Debt Book and the Incense Book. Since we have been building temples under King Wu's leadership, we have received more and more incense, but we are short of manpower, so the Yin Debt Book has not increased much."
Lending money is more difficult than collecting incense offerings. The former requires investigating good deeds, offering benefits, and signing contracts. The process is complex, time-consuming, and laborious, often only being done after establishing a strong foundation in a place where one already has control and still has spare capacity. Collecting incense offerings, on the other hand, requires only using some trickery and employing some sorcerers to gain credence.
Our Lady of Jizhituo quickly flipped through the two volumes of documents, then nodded and said "OK" and nothing else.
King Tongyou knew that she was not very satisfied, so he looked a little sad.
When they arrived at King Tongze, they reported together with King Tongji that the Wind and Fire Tribes had attached themselves to mortals and assisted King Wu in capturing cities and seizing lands. Now they were besieging Yuezhou, and they would surely see results after the spring.
The Holy Mother Jizhituo asked, "Yuezhou... you were defeated here. Not only did you fail to capture the evil spirit, but one of you was injured and the other died, and you escaped back."
King Tonghui took the blame himself, saying, "It's not my third and fifth brothers' fault. It was my lack of skill and understanding that led to their failure."
He explained the events of that day in detail. After listening to a few words, the Mother of God Jizhituo waved her hand and said, "Well, I'm not blaming you. No one can predict everything or gain benefits everywhere."
"A sect that has been guarding against evil spirits and demons since ancient times, and a red dragon, must have some means to counter the Fateful One."
The Holy Mother Jizhita turned her gaze to King Tonghui and asked, "What about you?"
King Tonghui is in charge of all matters in Shangfang Mountain, and what he wants to say is the highlight.
King Tonghui, with his wisdom in his hands, said, "My mother's agreement with the Gusu City God still stands, and we are inseparable from the King of Wu. However, the King of Wu is no longer the same as he was before, so we cannot treat him as if he were insignificant."
"So, the best plan for now is to find a way to make us closer to the King of Wu, so that we can become one family, and not become a waste of resources."
The Holy Mother Jizhita agreed wholeheartedly and said, "That's right. Mortals are always like this. When they have no power, they are eager to seek talents, but when they have power, they can summon them and dismiss them at will."
Her eyes flashed with indifference as she said, "I remember King Wu had three sons?"
King Tonghui said, "The Crown Prince is now with the army on the expedition, by the King of Wu's side, and is the most trusted. The second son, King Jian'an, is in charge of the Chongming Hall, where he gathers talented people and oversees sacrificial ceremonies. The third son, King Linchuan, is in charge of the Chixiao Hall, specifically doing the dirty work for the King of Wu."
The Holy Mother Jizhituo asked, "Is the King of Linchuan the devil?"
King Tonghui said, "Yes."
The Holy Mother Jizhituo frowned and said, "The Owl House has committed vile deeds and brought shame upon itself. Even if that devil is reincarnated as a human, his fate will still be bleak. King Wu has appointed him to run the Owl House, so there's no way he'll inherit the throne."
"What kind of person is the prince? Is there any chance of meeting him?"
King Tonghui shook his head and said, "King Wu values the Crown Prince very much. Not only does King Linchuan have no chance, but King Jian'an also has no chance. The Crown Prince is protected by dragon energy, patronized by ancestral spirits, and protected by the gods. He is not close to us."
The Virgin of Jizhita sighed and said, "Since he is not close to us, we can only feel sorry for him."
King Tonghui hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm afraid the City God won't be able to explain it."
The Holy Mother Jizhita said, "I will go and negotiate with him myself."
