Chapter 286 Farewell
"Zang Tuo, try harder!"
When the monsters from Yandang Pond rushed into Xinggu and slaughtered people, Bad Pomegranate was fanning the flames with the one-eyed mountain god beside him.
Shouted:
"This is also the villain who harmed Heiyun. Step hard on him, don't hold back!"
The honest Zangtuo Mountain God nodded when he heard this, then raised his big feet and dropped them suddenly.
With a loud bang, as Jiang Xia's eyes twitched, the ground within a hundred feet around was easily crushed by the brute force mountain god, but then, it scratched its bald head.
This action immediately caused a small earthquake.
It said to the pomegranate:
"This is a bit scratchy, but I can't kill you by stepping on it."
"Then step on him and seriously injure him, and then hand him over to my friend to deal with."
The little mountain monster's red eyes flashed with anger and he shouted:
"Let's not waste time. There are still many bugs ahead, waiting for you to step on them."
"good."
The one-eyed mountain god responded.
He raised his big foot again and stomped down hard. After doing this for more than ten times, under the silent gaze of Lao Jiang and Shan Qiuming, the area around the evil ghost of impermanence was already filled with peeling black smoke.
It was like a black orange being crushed by a juicer, with the disgusting juice spilling everywhere.
The stripped black air was still entangled on the feet of the mountain god Zangtuo, like a parasitic snake, constantly trying to drill into Zangtuo's body.
This caused the mountain god to swing and flap his arms in anger, causing the surrounding ground to undulate constantly, just like shaking sand dunes.
"Mountains, help me!"
Zang Tuo couldn't get rid of the evil spirit that was parasitic on his feet, so he roared to the sky.
The next moment, the ground that was crushed by it closed again, and as the great power of heaven and earth rose, the black evil spirit was quickly absorbed by the ground, and then exploded into slag with a low muffled sound.
Even the evil ghost of Wuchang, whose ghost body was crushed, was cleansed by the power of heaven and earth from the great god Changshan.
Just like the black clouds had been washed away before.
The dark impermanence quickly got rid of the black aura and returned to its previous appearance. Unfortunately, the price of cleansing the evil aura was the near extinction of these spirits.
The evil practitioners of the Yinhun Cult used some unknown method to inject evil energy into these spirits, causing them to enter a state of "demon possession". The evil energy polluted every inch of their souls.
Unless one of its souls escapes, it is possible to save its life. However, this Wuchang was obviously forced to break through the realm by the evil spirit, and it is impossible for it to cultivate its soul.
In other words, it's dead.
Perhaps it will disappear within the next ten or so breaths.
"Shua"
Amid the strong wind, the wolf demon Liu Hui appeared on this flat land with Huai'an Gong. The God of Land was very weak at this time, because the Goddess of the Mountain and her companions had locked the veins of the earth, making it impossible for the God of Land to enter the earth at all.
He is far away from his own "jurisdiction", so his prayers and wishes cannot be passed on.
Under the pressure of both, Duke Huai'an felt like he had a serious illness, but the white-bearded land owner was in a very good mood at this moment.
He had seen the monsters in Yandang Pond come out in full force, and with the help of two immortal spirits, the destruction of the evil cultivators in Xinggu would happen today. This was enough to comfort his old friend in heaven...
"!!!"
Before Lord Huai'an could digest the joy in his heart, when he was brought by the wolf demon, he saw the spirit lying on the ground and dissipating.
He was wearing ragged clothes.
But if you look closely, you can still vaguely see that the tattered clothes should have been a blue official robe.
His hair was disheveled and his face was so thin that his bones were visible, like a prisoner who had been tortured for more than ten years.
But from that cheek, you can vaguely see what he looked like before.
"Hongyi!"
The old land god cried out in grief, and using his hands and feet, he rolled and crawled to the side of the dissipating spirit, throwing his jujube wood stick and green jade pipe aside.
He knelt there, and with trembling hands, he picked up the dying spirit in front of him.
That old face was filled with unconcealable pain.
"Hongyi, open your eyes! It's me, Ergou! Hongyi, say something!"
Duke Huai'an's tone was very sad at this moment, and his heart was filled with ups and downs.
He clearly met an old friend who he thought had died more than ten years ago, but when he met again, his spirit had collapsed and was about to disappear into the world.
This reunion is a farewell.
He and the former Fengyang City God had known each other since childhood and grew up together when they were alive. He had no talent, so he could only stay in his hometown and work as a winemaker.
His good friend Cai Hongyi read the books of sages, served as an official in the court, and retired due to old age.
When I returned to my hometown, my childhood friends still had their accents intact, but their temples were all gray. However, there was no awkwardness when we met, and we still chatted about family matters as we did many years ago.
The wine used was the fine wine brewed by Ergou himself, and the stories listened to were the ones that Hongyi had learned from his many years of experience.
This is friendship.
Hongyi died before Ergou. His friend was heartbroken and smashed his own wine-making utensils in front of Hongyi's tomb. He was depressed for two years and died with Hongyi.
But their friendship did not end there, death was just a new starting point.
Hongyi was recruited to be the City God of Fengyang, and Ergou had been doing good deeds for many years and had a very good reputation in the local area, so he was also called the Land God.
The two of them are so destined to be together.
After death, one can also serve as an official in the same place and protect the living beings there .
However...
Hongyi was in danger and was assassinated and robbed by a demon. He was taken to the evil land of Xinggu and infused with demonic energy. Ergou thought his old friend was dead, so he endured hardships for more than ten years just to avenge his old friend.
Now, now, it is the same scene again.
I really don’t know whether to make people laugh.
It's still sad.
"Er Gou?"
Amid the weeping of Lord Huai'an, Cai Chenghuang, who was held in his arms and whose spirit was extremely weak, finally opened his eyes before dying.
He was like in a dream.
Looking at his old friend shedding tears in front of him, a smile actually appeared on his extremely painful face.
“But I never expected that after being in hell for more than ten years, I would still see my good friends again… Ahem, don’t cry, don’t cry, Ergou, since you can come here, I know how you have been living these years.
It’s me…
I’m a burden to you.”
Cai Chenghuang said in a weak voice:
"You don't have to do this. This is my fate."
"What nonsense!"
Lord Huai'an wiped his eyes and shouted:
"I thought you were dead, so I avenged you. If I knew you were still alive and being tortured by the thieves, I should have reported it to the Immortal Alliance earlier and prevented you from suffering so much.
I am sorry for you, Hongyi.
I am such a waste, so useless."
"No, no."
The spirit of Cai Chenghuang has turned into golden light.
At the last moment, the few remaining incense and vows in his body were rapidly collapsing.
"Er Gou, I don't care about unnecessary things anymore. Leaving today is also a relief for me. I only have one thing to tell you. You must listen carefully and remember it."
The City God grabbed the hand of Lord Huai'an, gritted his teeth, and said to him:
"After leaving Taofuyuan... don't seek promotion! Remember, even if you become a lonely ghost, if you can leave Kumu Realm, don't hesitate... I can't say more, for fear of causing trouble for you."
"If you can't tell Lord Huai'an, you can at least tell me, right?"
Lao Jiang came over, squatted on the ground, and said to Cai Chenghuang:
"I am not afraid of trouble. I was the one who caused the destruction of Xinggu. I am a natural troublemaker and I know that I will never have a peaceful life. Please tell me the truth about the Yinhun Cult, Lord."
"Um?"
Cai Chenghuang looked at Lao Jiang in confusion, then looked at his old friend. Huai'an Gong, with tears in his eyes, nodded to him. The Chenghuang, who was about to disappear, hesitated for a moment.
He raised his hand, and the last wisp of incense and wish power gathered into a ball of golden light.
Held in the hands of Lao Jiang.
The next moment, what the City God wanted to say to him turned into secret words and passed into his sea of consciousness, causing Lao Jiang's expression to change slightly.
"Alas, being born in this world is both a blessing and a misfortune."
Cai Chenghuang's body dissipated, like beautiful golden light spots dancing around. He looked at his old friend, and felt no regrets at all that he had a good friend by his side at the end of his life.
The last sound echoed like a farewell.
“When I was an official, I once introduced evil practitioners into the court. Although I was deceived by the wicked at that time, I did something wrong. It is wrong, and I deserve this cruel punishment.
Years of torture are the punishment.
In my life, I have had both praise and criticism, and I have no attachment to you anymore. But I can't bear to be involved with you, Ergou. If there is an afterlife, I will work like a slave and repay your kindness.
Remember, remember.
Don't go to the West Sea...
The farther away from there, the better.
ah.
I really want to drink a glass of Qinghua wine with you again, and go back to our youth... Goodbye, old friend."
"Buzz"
The last wisp of spirit also turned into a golden light and rose up. Huai'an Gong, who was kneeling there, stared blankly at the light rising in his arms. The next moment, a heart-wrenching cry echoed here.
Looking at the God of Land with tears in his eyes.
Gu Miao felt his nose sour, so he hid in Sister Ruyue's arms. Little Shiliu, who had never understood human emotions, now thought of his good friend Heiyun who was about to leave.
It actually squatted on a stone and rubbed its eyes just like humans.
pity.
Goblins don't cry.
The mountain monster has no tear glands at all, but that doesn't stop it from expressing its sadness in a dramatic way.
"You are just a little mountain monster, and you are trying to cry like others. Can you cry like this?"
Old Jiang, holding a cigarette in his mouth, walked slowly to Shi Liu and said something venomously.
"What do you care about me?"
Shi Liu felt upset at the moment and shouted at the top of her voice:
"Believe it or not, I'll let Zang Tuo trample you to death, you evil-hearted bastard!"
"Don't be angry."
Lao Jiang laughed, leaned over, and whispered to Shi Liu:
"You know that Southern Wilderness wizards have blood-bonded spirit beasts, right?"
"Yes, I know."
Pomegranate said unhappily:
"What does that have to do with me? I'm not a spirit beast."
"No, no, no, it has nothing to do with you, but it has to do with the black cloud."
Jiang Xia whispered a few words into Shi Liu's ear, and the little mountain monster's expression immediately became strange. It turned its head and glared at Jiang Xia, saying with some fear:
"Is it possible? No goblin has ever tried this before..."
"Whether it works or not, you have to try it to know."
Jiang Xia turned his head and glanced at the Obsidian Mountain God who was sitting cross-legged not far away, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He said:
"Now, we still have important things to do. Since everyone is in a bad mood, let Zang Tuo take us to crush a few evil cultivators to death to vent our anger."
"Yeah, that's right."
Shi Liu's sadness was relieved a little now, so he flapped his wings and flew up, landing on Jiang Xia's shoulder. He turned around and shouted to Zang Tuo:
"Ben Zangtuo, don't sleep! Get up and step on people! Hurry up, if you don't go to the evil cultivators, they will all be killed!"
While Shi Liu was shouting, Lao Jiang glanced at the grief-stricken Lord Huai'an. He took out the communication stone from his ring, injected spiritual power into it, and put it to his mouth.
Whispered to the other side:
"Old Ma, Xinggu Real Estate is ready. This is going smoothly beyond our expectations. The situation is very good. The original plan has been advanced. Bring your things now.
Come quickly! "
