Chapter 178: The Husheng Husheng Zhenjun's Reward

"Fuchi Yili Shenjun! In the place where this Lord is stationed, you dare to kill the local deity of the City Yili Shenjun Temple at will!"

The Protector Husheng Husheng Zhenjun was also stunned for a moment, then furious.

"It was noisy."

The Fuchi Yili Shenjun just said indifferently.

He didn't even find a legitimate reason.

In the main hall of the inn, except for the fifth senior brother who was still explaining the prescription to the physicians and explaining the precautions for treating the disease to the plague officials, Lin Jue and the third senior brother, and even the junior sister who had finished dealing with the long worms and came back with the bucket, all watched the two True Lords in the open space without blinking.

The Protector Husheng Husheng Zhenjun had the demeanor of a heavenly general, with dragon-head shoulder swallows, qilin arm guards, a divine head hanging on his chest, and a tiger head hidden at his waist, which not only displayed the dignity of a deity but also displayed the demeanor of Lord Tianweng.

Looking at the Fuchi Yili Shenjun opposite, although he had no gorgeous armor, he had a heavy malevolent energy, looking like he had just come back from the battlefield.

Lin Jue looked closely and felt that this Fuchi Yili Shenjun was afraid that he had really just returned from the war. There were scars on his armor, blood stains on his cloak, and even listening carefully, it seemed that there were faint wails of demons and ghosts coming from the precious sword at his waist.

Remembered what the master told them—

Under the five great emperors in the heavens, there were some famous True Lords. These True Lords were probably the martial generals and deities in the heavens who were best at fighting.

Some deities, although honored with the name of Emperor, were far inferior to some True Lords in terms of fighting methods and killing; some deities, although their Daoist cultivation was extremely high, did not specialize in the path of killing, so they were not as capable of fighting as these True Lords; even some True Lords were very close to the realm of Great Power. On the contrary, some Emperor ancestors who had the power of Great Power, because the great supernatural powers they mastered were not specialized in fighting and killing, or might be cracked or targeted, didn't necessarily know who would win or lose if they really fought with real swords and guns.

To put it bluntly, immortals in the heavens were like officials in the mortal world; they had to be divided into civil and martial.

A high position didn't mean high Daoist cultivation, and high Daoist cultivation didn't necessarily mean being able to fight. Even among martial gods, it wasn't completely impossible for a small general to be more capable of fighting than a great general. If this happened, it probably meant that the martial power system of this deity was already rotten.

In short, even for the vast majority of high-ranking Daoist practitioners, the deities with the strongest fighting power they could come into contact with were probably these True Lords.

Among them, because there were the most demons and evil spirits in the north, the Zi Zi Xu Di Jun had guarded the north for several generations of Lord Tianweng, so several True Lords under the Zi Zi Xu Di Jun in the north were famous for their fighting power.

At this moment, seeing the two True Lords confronting each other, several Daoists decisively didn't make a sound.

Lin Jue thought and sized them up.

The third senior brother had an expression of a good show coming.

The junior sister was dazed and puzzled.

Only saw the Protector Husheng Husheng Zhenjun's face gloomy: "You are truly bold! Even if the two of them committed a capital crime, they should be judged and punished by the deity. You dare to ignore the heavenly laws and rashly kill a deity!"

The Fuchi Yili Shenjun was contemptuous and disdainful, and even too lazy to talk to him, just turned his head to look at several Daoists and asked:

"Who discovered the Plague Ghost?"

After speaking, he glanced around and flicked his sleeve.

Suddenly, the roof of the main hall of this inn rose, as if rising to the clouds, and the four walls flew back rapidly, as if retreating to the edge of the sky. The physicians, plague officials, and foot soldiers in the main hall all retreated to an unknown distance, and the place where the several Daoists stood immediately became extremely empty, leaving only them.

"What kind of supernatural power is this?"

Lin Jue couldn't help but think in his heart.

Several Daoists came back to their senses and looked at each other.

Lin Jue thought for a while and said:

"Returning to the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun, it wasn't us who discovered it; we just came to report it. It was in Biluo County, a place called Shimen Village, which is several hundred li away from here. Someone there was born with innate wisdom. Because his heavenly soul was unstable, he happened to bump into the Plague Ghost walking by when he was a wandering soul, saying he was going to this place. We happened to pass by there, and after learning about it, we rushed here to report to the deity of this place."

"Biluo County? South?"

The Fuchi Yili Shenjun's voice seemed to have an echo.

"……"

Lin Jue thought for a while and answered truthfully:

"Yes."

"Hmph! This Lord has already said that this Plague Ghost could not have come from the north!" The Fuchi Yili Shenjun turned his head and said to the Protector Husheng Husheng Zhenjun.

"Ancient books record that snake plague originated in the north. As for the specifics, we have to investigate clearly!" The Protector Husheng Husheng Zhenjun also said in a deep voice, "This Lord also doesn't want to alienate Lord Tianweng and the Zi Zi Xu Di Jun, but we should also handle matters impartially!"

"As you wish."

After the Fuchi Yili Shenjun finished speaking, he looked at the Daoists again: "What are your names?"

"I am Lin Jue of the Fuqiu Temple on Fuqiu Peak of Mount Yishan."

"Li Miaolin of the Fuqiu Temple on Fuqiu Peak of Mount Yishan."

"Liu Qingyao of the Fuqiu Temple on Fuqiu Peak of Mount Yishan."

"Jing Qi of the Fuqiu Temple on Fuqiu Peak of Mount Yishan."

"Hehe, Mount Yishan, Huizhou, south. You are afraid that you have ruined the good deeds of your Yu Jian Emperor." The Fuchi Yili Shenjun laughed.

"……"

No one answered.

This Fuchi Yili Shenjun's words couldn't be trusted. Moreover, they were Daoists of the Lingfa Sect. Even if they happened to be in the Daoist field of the Yu Jian Emperor, that Yu Jian Emperor wasn't "their Yu Jian Emperor." Not knowing how to answer, not answering was the best answer.

"You are called Lin Jue? This Lord remembers that in the matter of the Corpse Tiger King in the south, you were once credited with a small merit."

"Yes."

"Heh…… It's rare to kill a demon king in the south……"

"……"

"This time, you traveled hundreds of li to report the Plague Ghost matter. Although it has nothing to do with me, knowing the origin of the Plague Ghost in advance, this Lord can also investigate back. So it can be considered your merit."

The Fuchi Yili Shenjun said indifferently:

"This Lord won't record any dog-shit merit for you; I don't have that habit. Since you are Daoists who practice spiritual arts, it just so happens that this Lord conquered a demon king in the north and obtained some sundries. I will give you a few items; perhaps there are things you can use."

Just at this time, the two divine generals who followed him left him for the first time, went upstairs to search for possible evidence. Only he and the Protector Husheng Husheng Zhenjun stood here, looking at these Daoists, looking at the decoction in the bowl, and looking at the physicians and plague officials who had taken the decoction, as well as the long worms they vomited into the bucket.

Several objects immediately flew out and clattered onto the ground.

Several artifacts flew out immediately, clanging on the ground.

Lin Jue looked down and saw that the styles were different, exactly four pieces.

Four pieces?

"Many thanks, Husheng Husheng Zhenjun." Lin Jue hurriedly thanked him, "It's just that my second senior brother and seventh senior brother are out busy for the sake of the commoners at this moment, and my fourth senior brother is still waiting in Shimen Village, which also helped a lot. If we take these artifacts while they are away, it would be truly shameful."

The Fuchi Yili Shenjun smiled.

The divine general behind him didn't say a word and flicked his sleeve again.

Three more artifacts landed.

The third senior brother, fifth senior brother, and junior sister all looked at Lin Jue, the content in their eyes almost the same.

"Many thanks, Husheng Husheng Zhenjun."

"Many thanks, General Xuari."

Neither the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun nor the divine general answered.

That General Xuari only whispered to the Fuchi Yili Shenjun: "Reporting to the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun, no plague energy or Plague Ghost items were found, but the Daoist's fox was seen, it seems……"

"No need to look, and no need to care about these things!" The Fuchi Yili Shenjun said indifferently, "Listen to my orders!"

"Here!"

"Summon five hundred heavenly soldiers under my command. Within five hundred li, within three days, find the Plague Ghost, must capture it alive. If there is a deity guarding it, capture it alive together." The Fuchi Yili Shenjun glanced at the Protector Husheng Husheng Zhenjun, "They can't find it no matter how they look, so we have to do it for them."

The Protector Husheng Husheng Zhenjun immediately raised his eyebrows: "Fuchi! You are truly arrogant! Do you believe I will report you to the Zi Zi Xu Di Jun?"

"You look like a civil official……"

After the Fuchi Yili Shenjun finished speaking, he disappeared directly.

The two divine generals also disappeared suddenly.

"Rumble……"

There were sounds from all directions.

The roof that had risen to the sky covered back, the walls that were at the edge of the sky also shrank back, the ground returned to its original size, and the people who were originally sitting in the main hall all returned.

A physician was looking at the fifth senior brother in confusion:

"True Man, why are you dazed……"

"True Man?"

"Eh, what is on the ground? Where did it come from?"

The junior sister was agile and hurriedly rushed over, picking up the things on the ground in one go.

That Protector Husheng Husheng Zhenjun was still in place.

"You are dedicated to the people, saving the world and helping people, which can be considered immeasurable merit. As for the previous matter of ignoring the deity's summons and injuring the City Yili Shenjun's martial officer, this Lord won't argue with you."

The Protector Husheng Husheng Zhenjun was still expressionless: "This place is the station of this Lord. Being taken advantage of and having a plague, this Lord will also be punished by Lord Tianweng. The efforts you have made for the commoners here, all the merits, this Lord will naturally record for you. If you offend me in the future, I will naturally use this merit to offset it. I mean what I say."

Flicking his sleeve, clouds grew under his feet, and he left.

The divine soldiers and heavenly generals behind him also rode the clouds and left.

"Riding the clouds and mist……"

Lin Jue couldn't help but look in the direction they left.

Riding the clouds and mist, truly the demeanor of an immortal.

Withdrawing his gaze, the junior sister had already gone upstairs with the things, and the third senior brother also followed. Lin Jue's eyes condensed, he touched the ancient book in his arms, and immediately went upstairs.

First returning to his room, pushing the door to look, a huge white fox was lying on the floor.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Jue went to see it for the first time, but saw it turn its head to look at him, its eyes clear and agile as usual, standing up immediately, revealing a wood carving and a mother-of-pearl box it was pressing under its body.

"You are smart."

Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief immediately.

He took the ancient book out of his arms and put it back in the book box, then opened the mother-of-pearl box to look, and nothing was missing.

"Phew……"

Lin Jue left the room and walked to another room.

The junior sister had already put down all the artifacts, all piled on the floor. Turning her head, she was still looking at him with shock and confusion:

"Third Shixiong brother! You are so smart!"

"Don't make a fuss." Lin Jue walked over and said, "Let's see what these things are."

"Oh, right!"

The three of them began to count.

There was a big sword, much wider and longer than the three-foot long sword used by normal people, and also longer than the two-handed sword used by some martial artists in the rivers and lakes. It didn't seem to be for people to use.

The junior sister picked it up and danced with it, but it was too heavy and not handy, also because the room was narrow and couldn't be opened.

There was a brass bell, about the size of a pheasant egg. Lin Jue shook it, shaking out a jingle, but didn't see anything strange.

There was a small porcelain bottle, and I didn't know what it was for.

There was a long robe, the style was ancient.

"Third Shixiong brother, when the Yili Yili Shenjun eliminated the Corpse Tiger King, didn't we have great merit? Why did that Fuchi Yili Shenjun say that he only recorded a small merit for us?" The junior sister picked up a bamboo tube again, looking at it repeatedly from top to bottom, left to right, looking into the distance with one eye, and then putting it to her mouth to blow.

"It should be that only the merit of the mouse demon in Yi County was recorded." The third senior brother said, "That Corpse Tiger King is not simple, it's better not to record it."

"Phew……"

The junior sister blew out a column of fierce fire.

"Eh?"

She turned it over and blew again, and blew out thick white fog. As long as she blew, the white fog wouldn't stop.

In the blink of an eye, the room was full of fog.

The junior sister looked and put it back.

Then she picked up a wooden staff again.

Checking it several times, she didn't know what it was for, so she had to use it as a stick, turning a few stick flowers in her hand, and thumping it on the ground, but there was no reaction.

Then she held the stick and pointed it at the senior brother.

"?"

Lin Jue felt his whole body tighten.

That feeling was like countless ropes or cloths wrapping himself tightly from head to toe and fixing him with a frame, unable to move, and at the same time, there was a palpitation in his heart.

"……"

Lin Jue held his breath and exerted force, only then did he break free.

The junior sister was completely unaware, still looking confused, played with it for a while, and then put the wooden staff down.

This was actually a body-fixing staff.

There was also a lamp.

The lamp was not big and could be held in the hand. Lin Jue lit it casually, blew and blew, shook and shook, but there was no reaction, so he had to put it on the table.

"They should all be magic tools used by the demon soldiers and demon generals under the demon king after the Fuchi Yili Shenjun wiped out the demon king. They are all small gadgets." The third senior brother said so, and suddenly remembered one thing, "By the way, junior brother, what did those two divine officials mean when they brought the Protector Husheng Husheng Zhenjun and Fuchi Yili Shenjun over today? When did you offend them?"

"It's a long story."

"Then make a long story short."

Just at this time, the second senior brother and seventh senior brother came back.

They pushed the door and entered.

Just as they stepped into the door, the flame of the lamp suddenly flourished, and made a bang, like a thunderclap.

Only then did Lin Jue discover the use of this lamp.

The third senior brother urged him to tell it.

Although the second senior brother and seventh senior brother were confused about where they got so many artifacts and what they were talking about, they didn't ask much, just sat down and listened patiently to Lin Jue's narration.
