Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 876 Look at what kind of god this is!

In the royal study of the Daegu Palace, the emperor leaned on the couch to rest, and felt drowsy after sitting for a while.

The old emperor is nearly eighty years old, which is considered a long life among the kings of Daegu. He has been on the throne for fifty-one years, which is the longest in the entire history of Daegu.

In recent years, he has heard too much flattery such as "the greatest emperor of all time" and "his power will last for thousands of years", which has made the old emperor's original ambition even greater.

The old emperor has already outlived many princes and princesses.

The most pitiful thing was that the eldest prince, who had been the crown prince for forty years, died of old age without ever sitting on the throne, and the old emperor never re-appointed the crown prince.

Many people in the court understood what the emperor was thinking.

The Cult of the Four Dragon Kings gave the emperor real hope. The magic medicine that the Dragon King initially gave him through the high priest and the blessing of his spell made the old emperor energetic for a long time. During that time, he even favored some of the new beauties who entered the palace.

Four dragons ascend to heaven, becoming immortals.
This was the promise the emperor had received, and he had also witnessed the supernatural powers of the people around the high priest. To him, it was not important whether the Dragon King statue fell or not; the high priest's promise was the most important.

At this time, the high priest of the Four Dragon Kings Sect hurried in led by the eunuch. The old emperor seemed to be awakened by his footsteps and stared outside the curtain of the imperial study.

The high priest stopped in his tracks. Although the emperor was old, he was very oppressive. The moment just now made his heart skip a beat.

After calming himself down, the high priest stepped forward and saluted.

"I have met His Majesty!"

"No need to bow. High Priest, I heard that the statues in the temple have all fallen down. Is that true?"

The high priest was actually quite nervous at this moment. All the statues had fallen over, which didn't look auspicious no matter how you looked at it. Also, the people the Dragon King had sent to be by his side seemed to be fewer. He didn't know if they had run away or what. Fortunately, there were still some left.

But we had already discussed it before coming here, so we must not show any weakness now.

"Your Majesty, the statue has fallen, but I knew this would happen a few days ago!"

"Oh? High Priest, please speak."

When the emperor asked this, the high priest quickly continued speaking.

"A few days ago, the Dragon King came to me in a dream, saying that there will be a catastrophe of transformation into a dragon. This catastrophe is inevitable, so there will be unusual movements, including the collapse of the statue. There is no need to worry, we just need to rebuild the statue later, and we will need to set up a companion deity to receive incense."

The high priest spoke eloquently, and the emperor felt much more at ease listening to him.

"So it's all right?"

"Your Majesty, it is not easy to become a true dragon god. There will be some tribulations!"

The emperor felt relieved when he heard the high priest say this.

"Okay, okay, it's just that they said before that it would last until the end of this year at most, but now it's only a few months away."

"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured."

The high priest naturally agreed with what the emperor said at this moment, and would go back and ask the water god who had descended to earth.

Yes, in a cult like the Four Dragon Kings, some of the priests in the temples are water creatures loyal to the Hong family, but this high priest is a mortal, or to be more precise, he was once a sorcerer.

When the statue of the Dragon King collapsed, the number of gods' messengers around the high priest suddenly decreased a lot, and only the ones who stayed behind could calm him down.

As for what the "accompanying gods" are, they are naturally the gods who stayed behind.

The high priest communicated with the emperor in the palace for half an hour, and when he returned, he received the emperor's promise that he would support the repair of the temples and halls of the Four Dragon Kings in various places, and would also re-establish the accompanying gods.

In the Temple of the Four Dragon Kings by the river outside the capital, the high priest returned here and found the messenger under him with uneasiness.

In a house bordering the river behind the Temple of the Four Dragon Kings, three gods' messengers sat there pretending to be priests in front of others, but when they met the high priest behind others, the latter still needed to salute them.

At this moment, the high priest had recounted what had happened in the palace, and the leading envoy nodded with satisfaction.

"Well done, just don't let the emperor get suspicious!"

The high priest nodded with a look of worry on his face.

"My envoys, the emperor wants to be immortal. Can he achieve it before the end of the year?"

The high priest was not stupid and he vaguely felt that this seemed impossible.

The gods looked at each other.

"The old emperor is about to die. He will not survive this winter. He cannot blame us, nor the four dragon kings. As long as the four dragon kings are not defeated, we will help the gods to stand up, and everything we want will naturally come true."

"Yes, yes, I understand!"

"Well, let's get down!"

"Yes, I will resign, villain!"

Just as the high priest was about to leave, one of the messengers spoke again.

"Wait! Those special Dragon King believers, select three pairs of boys and girls and send them here before dark!"

When the envoy spoke, the two envoys beside him seemed surprised for a moment, and then they smiled together.

Master Hong and his men were going to the East China Sea to cause trouble for the Dragon King. Now it seems that even if his cultivation level has greatly increased, it is still like an egg hitting a rock. He is most likely dead. But it would be a pity if the incense of the Four Dragon Kings' sect is cut off.

There is a saying among mortals that goes, "The brave will die of overeating, while the timid will die of starvation!"
This is undoubtedly an opportunity for the few water monsters that remain. They can now think about things that they didn't dare to do before, and they can also taste the boys and girls.

Human beings are the most intelligent creatures in the world. They are born with an innate energy in their bodies, which is gradually contaminated by acquired energy as they grow older. However, boys and girls still retain this energy, especially these special children.

And it’s not just about increasing your cultivation, it’s also said to taste better than any other delicacies! It’s ready-made anyway!
The high priest was slightly stunned, but still agreed, then took his leave.

After leaving the quiet room in the back hall and passing through a courtyard, the high priest could not help but wipe the cold sweat from his body.

Evil nature! These gods' messengers seemed to have changed all of a sudden!
The feeling just now made the high priest break out in a cold sweat, and sending a boy and a girl before dark?
Is this some kind of fetish, or do they want to eat people?
"hiss"

The high priest shuddered at the thought and told himself not to think too much about it.
That night, several drowsy children were sent to the quiet room in the back hall of the main temple of the Four Dragon Kings in the capital.

At the same time, under the light of the stars and the moon, Taoist Xue was carrying a large coffin and moving forward without stopping using his magical skills.

We would also visit some of the Four Dragon King Temples along the way. At least on this night, no children would sleepwalk to worship the gods, but there must be many children who had been selected before and were unable to return home.

However, based on previous experience, these children are generally not in any danger of life. They will just continue to chant scriptures and worship God, and some will be developed into priests.

This is not a matter that Taoist Xue can handle immediately. It would be better for the government to do it. The most important thing now is to go to the capital.

Although the capital city is not close, it is not as far away as ordinary people for Xue Daoren. Although he is carrying a coffin, his speed is so fast that it looks like a blurry gray light in the eyes of ordinary people.

Moreover, Taoist Xue was running faster and faster. The so-called "traveling a thousand miles a day" was actually a derogatory term for him, because at this moment he was traveling far more than a thousand miles a day.

As he ran, spiritual energy gathered towards him, which actually reduced Taoist Xue's fatigue. At the same time, he also gained another insight.

Originally, the strong wind was very unbearable, but some of the things that the great god Yunlai had taught him before also surfaced in his mind. He thought "break the wind" and the strong wind seemed to gradually become obedient, automatically separating from both sides in front of him, allowing Taoist Xue to go even faster.

It was originally thought that it would take at least two days to reach the capital, but in the late night, Taoist Xue, carrying the coffin, had already approached the capital.

But when Taoist Xue was carrying the coffin along the official road and approaching the city gate of the capital, he suddenly smelled a stench. The stench was not as strong as the one in his dream, but more real.

There is a Four Dragon King Temple nearby, and there are evil spirits casting spells in the temple!

Taoist Xue hesitated for a moment and looked up at the capital. Since he would not be able to see the emperor at night anyway, he simply hid the coffin in the woods outside the city and prepared to go to the Temple of the Four Dragon Kings first to investigate. The temples in the capital must be different from those in other places.

What Taoist Xue didn't expect was that this time he went directly to the main temple of the Four Dragon Kings Temple. He posted talismans and used light skills to reach the riverside in the backyard of the temple.

Before Taoist Xue could move in, the stench of the evil spirit was so strong that it made him feel nauseous, and he also smelled a scent of blood.

In the quiet room, a child who was originally drowsy seemed to have a sense of his own before he died. He woke up suddenly and saw a big mouth with sharp teeth biting his neck.

"Ah-ah."

The scream of terror stopped in an instant, his neck was bitten and he couldn't utter a word. Instead, he kept bleeding and his limbs twitched.

Taoist Xue was shocked. He could almost instantly feel the child's intense fear before death, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Anger came from his heart, and magic was born at will. Dozens of talismans floated out of Taoist Xue's bag, and a stream of blood was forced out of his mouth.

"Good death to this evil creature! Fire dragon will clear the way——"

Boom. Boom.
Two fire dragons appeared from the other side of the river, and Taoist Xue rode the ferocious fire dragons to fly across the river.

"hold head high--"

A fire dragon in front actually emitted a dragon shadow, and then with a "boom", it collapsed the back half of the wall of the quiet room, rushed into the room and directly bit an unsuspecting monster.

"Wow"

"what"

The raging fire spread from the dragon's mouth to the monster, completely igniting it in an instant, and it couldn't help but let out a miserable howl from its mouth.

"The evildoer shall die——"

Taoist Xue's angry roar was heard.

Another fire dragon rushed into the room and rushed towards the other two frightened monsters, while the first fire dragon had already circled back.
The noise at the back of the temple frightened the people in the temple and they fled in all directions.
The next morning, during the morning court session in the palace, the emperor summoned all his ministers and was about to talk about the matter of the Temple of the Four Dragon Kings.

The emperor, whose body was trembling a little, had just sat on the dragon throne with the help of the eunuch. After the ministers greeted him and called him, before the eunuch could speak on behalf of the emperor, some movement was heard outside the Golden Palace.

That was the sound of soldiers wielding weapons, the scolding of guards and imperial guards, and some shouts of fear.

"Bang~Bang~" "Ding-ling-dang." "Bang"

"Stop him" "Ah"

There were noises, shouts, and even inhuman whistles, coming from far away and at a very fast speed.

These noises caused panic among the ministers and made the emperor on the dragon throne look uneasy. The guards in the palace came to the emperor one after another and stood on guard.

"bang"

Three or four palace guards flew in backwards and crashed directly onto the Golden Palace. The ministers around them retreated in panic.

In front of the gate of the Golden Palace, Taoist Xue carried a coffin and walked into the Golden Palace step by step.

Screw the solemnity of the court, screw the rules of the world.

With a "bang", the coffin fell on the Golden Palace. Taoist Xue looked up at the emperor above him and kicked the coffin lid open with a "bang", causing the coffin to roll a few times, and the "person" inside fell out.

The ministers nearby screamed and stepped back to dodge, but the rolling coffin did not hit anyone.

"Your Majesty, look at what kind of god this is!"

Taoist Xue pointed upwards and angrily denounced the emperor as a tyrant.
