Chapter 1867 Keep the clouds clear
He knew that He Xiao had done countless amazing things along the way, but killing a great god?
Impossible, this is absolutely beyond human power.
If He Xiao, a young man in his early twenties, could kill the great god, where would that leave the immortals who lived for thousands of years?
"Excuse me, how is Master Qianhuan doing?" The battle took place in the Upside-Down Sea. As the host, it is impossible for Master Qianhuan not to show up, right?
"It's not clear yet." Du Shan shook his head, "We know very little. We can only know the specific news after the boss returns to Shanjin."
"How long will it take to get back?" The Upside-Down Sea mission was so important, and the consequences were so serious. As the person who issued the mission, Fang Canran had to come here to inquire about the progress on behalf of Lingshan.
"Returning from the sea to the land, and then coming back from the northern part of the Shining Gold, even if the carriages and horses do not stop, it will take at least three or four months." The Shining Gold Plain is very vast.
"It will take another three or four months?" It was not easy to deceive Fang Canran, "Then how can the Nine Nether Emperor 'enter the world soon'?"
These are Du Shan’s exact words just now.
Du Shan said with a smile: "The Great Emperor Jiuyou has thousands of incarnations. How can such a small matter stump him?"
Of course it is not a contradiction. Fang Canran looked at him for a few seconds, thinking deeply: "It seems that you have planned it long ago. Haha, Brother He has big plans."
He always knew that He Lingchuan had great ambitions, but he never expected that this man really wanted to turn the world upside down!
How dare he do that? His ambition is higher than the sky.
"Rumors have spread that Miaozhantian is dead, and Lingshan will question you soon."
Du Shan smiled and said, "Miao Zhantian was killed by the Dragon God. He has been missing for a long time."
The words "seeing the head but not the tail" were originally used to describe the dragon.
The crux of the problem is that even if Lingshan suspects that Emperor Jiuyou is He Lingchuan, he cannot confirm it for the time being.
Fang Canran exhaled: "This makes it very difficult for me."
The rumor that the Dragon God had appeared and saved Shan Jin would probably spread rapidly with Miao Zhantian's death. At that time, Lingshan would certainly order Fang Canran to find out the truth.
"There is nothing to hide. Mr. Fang will investigate. We will definitely cooperate as much as we can." Du Shan said with a smile, "But only our boss knows such a big secret. Why don't you wait with us for our boss to come back?"
The two looked at each other and smiled. Fang Canran's smile was helpless, while Du Shan's smile was meaningful.
……
Hundreds of miles away, Shizhoutou.
The market lined up all the way to the city gate, and the one closest to the sentry was an old woman selling salted eggs. This place was no longer the same as it was when Zhao Guangzhi and Liu Chengshou were defending the city and the soldiers imposed martial law.
But the best spot, the open space in front of the black dragon statue, was not occupied by any small business owner. Instead, a wider and larger altar was placed here, filled with flowers and fruits.
Not far away, the temple dedicated to the Dragon God is almost completed. It will be the most magnificent building in the city, and the statues and altars will be moved there in time.
Two riders rode into the city on horseback, and the scouts rushed into the garrison and found Yang Meng.
"You're back? What's going on with McCue?"
"We found the believers who went to worship Miaozhan God a few days ago and asked five people. One of them has been sweeping the floor in the temple for many years. They swore that they saw with their own eyes the Dragon God soaring into the sky from the temple, holding Miaozhan God in his mouth, soaring in the night sky for a long time before rising straight up through the clouds!"
Another person said, "I have inquired in the counties and towns around Maiqiu, and many townspeople have also seen the figure of the dragon in the night sky. They all swore that they saw it with their own eyes."
"So, how is the temple now?"
"It's empty. It's almost been emptied." The scout said, "We went in to take a look. The incense has run out. The temple is almost empty. There are only two old men left. Oh, the legend is true. The statue of the goddess is broken. We all saw it."
The other scout nodded repeatedly.
"We also visited Qian County, Shiba Township, Chidu Town, and the surrounding small towns. It's not just the Miaozhan Temple!" They listed several temples in a row. "These are also abandoned. It is said that there were strange phenomena a few days ago. Either the statues were broken or stained with inexplicable stains. The plaque of the Chizha Temple even fell down and killed a person."
Yang Meng clenched his fists.
Even the gods were killed by the Dragon God?
He immediately thought of the divine soldiers who descended from heaven more than a year ago.
At that time, Liu Chengshou of Shizhoutou abandoned the city and fled. It was he who led the entire city to repel the invading ogre king Zhao Guangzhi. As a result, Liu Chengshou wanted to come back to take advantage, and after being rejected, he also led his troops to attack the city.
At this time of internal and external troubles, the Black Armor Army appeared out of nowhere, first captured Liu Chengshou, then took Zhao Guangzhi, and handed these two villains over to the civilians of Shizhoutou and Liuping for trial respectively!
The one who performed the heavenly act with thunderous means was none other than the Emperor Jiuyou.
The battle that night was still vivid in Yang Meng’s mind; he could still see it with his eyes closed.
Not long after, he and the civilians of Shizhoutou began to receive various news about the Nine Nether Emperor punishing and killing evil people. It seemed that even the Yao Kingdom’s general Xue Zongwu was beheaded by the Nine Nether Emperor!
The legend that the Jiuyou Emperor is the reincarnation of the Dragon God has long been a hot topic in the countryside.
Therefore, when Yang Meng heard the news that the Dragon God had killed Miao Zhantian the day before yesterday, he was so excited that he could not sleep all night.
He always remembered what Emperor Jiuyou said to him before he left Liuping:
"The situation in the Golden Plains is about to change. If you hold on for another three to five years, the clouds will surely clear."
He then asked what the change meant, but Emperor Jiuyou did not say much.
Over the past year or so, Yang Meng has been guarding this remote and poor place with little information, and he can vaguely feel an undercurrent surging, as if something is about to burst out.
Until he received the explosive news that Miaozhan God had died!
Does this prove what Emperor Jiuyou said, that a change is coming?
Time flies, just over a year has passed.
The scout continued, "We have been to seven or eight places. We heard rumors spreading these days. They all said that a real dragon has been born and will soon sweep across the world and eliminate all injustice. Folk songs and nursery rhymes are also being sung everywhere."
Another scout hummed, "What I heard was, 'The Dragon God is here, and I am blessed. I have food to eat and clothes to wear. I have brought down the villain, and no one dares to steal my food anymore!'"
The tune is pretty good and catchy.
After the two scouts left, Yang Meng subconsciously stared at the market outside the window in a daze.
Over the past year, life in Shizhoutou and Liuping under his rule has become much better.
The two places were originally poor, and the local officials were incompetent, trying to squeeze money out of the stones. Yang Meng was good at fighting but not very good at governing the city-state. He was originally worried about the livelihood of so many people day and night, but he didn't know that the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce came here eleven months ago and bought a large amount of local specialties, such as Litsea cubeba oil and casein wood.
Litsea cubeba is both a medicinal herb and a spice. The oil refined from it has a unique and fragrant smell. From the casein wood, only the bark is taken, which is washed and ground into powder. When sprinkled on food, it has the aroma of cheese and cinnamon, which is silky and strong.
