lethal arsenal

Chapter 682 Gou Chen the Great
Caochangpo is located on the northwest side of Chang'an, covering a vast area of ​​approximately 18,000 square kilometers.

This place has both vast grasslands and eight rivers and four canals that pass through and protect Chang'an.

This place is also one of the most important horse farms in the Tang Dynasty.

There is abundant water and grass, and there are rare animals such as golden eagles, blind bears, elephants, white tigers, dragon turtles, unicorn-blooded exotic foals, etc.

It was also the training ground for one of Li Shimin's imperial Tiance cavalry troops.

Huhu.

The cold wind blew across the grassland, and suddenly a golden cheetah jumped out from the grass and trees, like a yellow lightning, and ran to the river at a rapid speed.

Then the leopard bit hard.

It picked up a two-meter-long, young pig dragon in one mouthful and climbed up the tree.

Its strong limbs and sharp teeth allow it to complete the hunt quickly.

The smell of blood was rolling.

Just as the cheetah was enjoying its lunch.

Kaka.

There was an inexplicable sound, like glass shattering.

The wind howled.

The water on the river was rippling and a black hole appeared in the sky for no apparent reason.

Then, the black hole expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it changed from the size of a fist to a pitch-black door.

Affected by the laws of heaven and earth, blue and purple lightning were wrapped around the door frame.

"Is this the good show you were talking about?"

The sound came through the pitch-black door, and an extremely terrifying aura emanated from the open door frame.

In an instant, all the animals within a thousand miles felt an almost despairing pressure from the top predator.

The cheetah, which was licking its internal organs, suddenly raised its head, with blood on its nose.

It didn't care about the delicious meal and jumped down from the branch.

boom.

The door to space was completely torn open.

Lin Dong took a step and appeared on the river surface, and then, Huan Xin was dragged out by him.

Yuan Tiangang followed closely behind the two of them and poured out from the space gate like a stream of light.

The last one came from Wu Meiniang. She held up a Hunyuan Umbrella above her head and walked out of the space gate at a leisurely pace, her dress gathered up.

Hunyuan Umbrella, its full name is Hunyuan Pearl Umbrella.

This item is the magic weapon of Mo Lihong, the second of the Four Heavenly Kings.

The umbrella surface is made of emerald, night-shining pearls, dust-repelling beads, fire-repelling beads, water-repelling beads, cool-eliminating beads, nine-bend beads, beauty-fixing beads, wind-fixing beads, etc., which are strung into the four words "loading the universe". Even among all the acquired magic weapons, this item is a top-notch one.

But no one knows how it fell into the hands of the Queen Mother of the West, and now it is held by her reincarnation, Wu Meiniang.

Wu Meiniang's current level of Taoism is not enough to reach the level of a terrestrial immortal, but she has the bones of an immortal or a Buddha, and her destiny is connected with the Tang Dynasty. With the protection of magic weapons, she came out of the sky gate and felt more relaxed than Yuan Tiangang.

"Ahem. Everyone, everyone, please allow me to say a few words."

Just as Lin Dong and others were arriving, the God of Land spun around and emerged from the ground, riding on a auspicious cloud.

This earth deity looks like a skinny old man in his fifties, with a slightly hunched body, white hair and beard.

What is surprising is that this person is carrying a strange cane that has a very strong earthy smell.

Lin Dong took a closer look and found that item to be a top-grade acquired magic weapon.

There was a human head on the crutch, with fangs showing in the mouth, raised eyebrows and a ferocious look on the face.

"Who are you? How dare you break in..."

As soon as the head saw Lin Dong and the others, it immediately opened its mouth and wanted to swear.

pat.

The God of Land slapped the head on the cane and it immediately became obedient.

"You saints are here to watch the ceremony, right?"

The land god asked respectfully.

"Not bad."

Huanxin nodded repeatedly.

Lin Dong pinched his fingers and was about to use the Void Yaksha to find out what was going on here. Yuan Tiangang at the side pulled Lin Dong's arm and said softly: "Ziwei has descended to the earth, and the Human Emperor has ascended to heaven! The Nine Dragons are accompanying them, and they start from here." Yuan Tiangang hurriedly explained.

"Then, all of you saints, please find a place to reside in the void. The emperor said that all cultivators in the world can come here to see it, but one thing is that the power of heaven is vast and unfathomable. Those who are not good enough, those who are not lucky enough, and those who cannot bear it, please go back. Also, remember not to interfere with the emperor's ascension ceremony, otherwise you will be dragged into the calamity and die directly. It is also possible that the situation."

The voice of the God of Land sounds like a mottled, verdigris kitchen knife scratching moss, giving people goose bumps.

"What's the point of storing your mind in the void? If you want to see it, just look at it here."

A voice suddenly interrupted.

Lin Dong was a little surprised, "When?", "How could someone break through to my side?" He turned his head and saw a pair of bird and beast wings propping up the closing space gate.

That’s right, it was the door that Lin Dong tore open with his bare hands just now.

The wings of a bird and beast were exposed, with the upper body bare, revealing six angular muscles like rocks, and around the neck hung six stars emitting a breath of destruction.

However, this person deliberately suppressed those auras within a few inches of his body to prevent them from leaking out.

His eyebrows are as long as knives, and his ferocity is even more than Lin Dong's.

When I looked at her, I saw two cold lights that seemed real.

Next to the man stands Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in a male body and female form. This is one of Avalokitesvara's Dharma bodies. It is solemn yet gentle like a woman.

Two great gods appeared here one after another.

Lin Dong remembered that the Yellow Robe Monster once said that he and the Hundred-Eyed Demon King worked together to kill one of Guanyin's Dharma bodies.

But Lin Dong can say with certainty that it is definitely not the one in front of him.

Because the aura of this Dharma body has almost surpassed the peak level of Locking Heaven Grade, and is roughly at the initial stage of Devouring Heaven Grade.

How could a great Bodhisattva, who was one of the Five Elders and almost conquered the Southern Continent, be harmed by a Hundred Eyes?

"Gou Chen?"

Lin Dong asked tentatively.

The man's identity was surprisingly easy to guess. After much thought, the only person who could give him such an oppressive feeling was Emperor Gou Chen, one of the Four Imperial Gods.

With wings and unbridled ferocity, they are somewhat similar to the people in Jiejiao.

In fact, the person who first supported Emperor Gou Chen was the Sage of Shangqing, commonly known as the Master of Tongtian.

In the midst of teaching.

Volume 4 of "Shangqing Lingbao Dafa" mentions that he is called the Great Emperor of Heaven.

"It is to the left of the North Pole Emperor. There are four stars, which are connected and slightly curved like a hook. They are called Gou Chen. One of the big stars is right in the middle. It is the Emperor of Heaven. All the ten thousand stars are located at the same position as the North Pole, but it is the hub, and the Emperor of Heaven also rotates with the sky."

Because of this, Gou Chen, also known as "Hook Chen", is a constellation in the Purple Palace in the sky, close to the North Star, with a total of six stars. It shares the authority of the stars in the world with Ziwei.

However, due to some events in ancient times, Emperor Gou Chen gradually became subordinate to Ziwei and no longer managed affairs.

Apart from the six officials of the Southern Dipper, Gou Chen had almost no other power and handed over everything about the stars in the sky to the Emperor Ziwei.

"That's right. It's the emperor."

Gou Chen glanced at Wu Meiniang who was standing next to Lin Dong, then responded domineeringly.

The Four Imperial Gods are very different from ordinary immortals and Buddhas.

Although Emperor Gou Chen displayed his cultivation at the peak level of Swallowing Heaven.

But in reality, the combat power he unleashed was so great that even an ordinary quasi-saint, such as Maitreya, would not be able to suppress him.

in other words.

There is a high probability that Lin Dong is no match for his opponent.

Of course, you still have to fight to know the details.

"What do you mean by watching here?" Lin Dong asked back with a blank expression.

"I know you, Lin Yuanjue, the demon from the outer world. Among a group of demons, only you and Wu Tian are worth mentioning."

As he spoke, Gou Chen gritted his teeth.

Then he changed the subject and said, "It's fate that we meet. I'll invite you to watch the ceremony with me." After saying that, Emperor Gou Chen signaled with his eyes, and the Bodhisattva Guanyin standing beside him flipped her hand slightly, and a mutton-fat jade bottle appeared in her palm.

"Isn't this thing in the hands of the Yellow Robe Monster?"

Lin Dong raised his eyebrows subconsciously.

Then Guanyin took out willow branches and leaves from the bottle and sprinkled them gently. Raindrops fell into the soil. After a while, an inn rose from the ground.

With a loud rumble, the wooden building broke through the soil to a height of three feet.

"please."

Gou Chen made an inviting gesture.

It is a three-story red-painted carved building with red lanterns hanging on the door, various decorative murals painted on the walls at the entrance, and even a storytelling and theater stage on the first floor.

There is a viewing platform on the third floor, where one can look out at the sky as well as the sun, moon and stars.

The second floor is filled with round tables, giving it the feel of a human inn.

Such immortal magic is learned so vividly.

"Thank you very much."

Lin Dong was not polite at all. He bowed and stepped in with Huan Xin, Wu Meiniang and Yuan Tiangang.

Emperor Gou Chen rubbed his chin, but did not rush in. He just said calmly: "It is exactly the same as the inn in the human world, but it lacks a bit of fireworks."

"Uh."

The old earth god at the side said with a bitter face: "If the emperor doesn't mind, I can turn into a waiter in a shop to welcome and see off customers."

"Ah."

Emperor Gou Chen made a sound through his nose.

In this way, the old landowner transformed himself into a little old man with rosy cheeks, and the cane in his hand turned into a whip with a hydrangea on it.

The God of Land quickly walked into the inn, "Everyone, please come in!" He flicked the whip in his hand, and the eight-immortal table, various teacups, bowls and plates flew out.

"Hello, distinguished guests."

Those tables and wooden chairs shouted in unison.

Hot tea automatically poured out of the teapot, and the fruit plate flew around the kitchen, where all kinds of fresh fruits were immediately placed on the table.

Emperor Gou Chen snapped his fingers, and several jars of old wine in the cabinet flew onto the table by themselves.

Huanxin was also a very impolite person. He held the jar of wine with one hand, opened the lid and took a gulp.

"Oh, that feels good."

The voice paused.

Huanxin added: "It's not inferior to the fairy wine made by the Queen Mother back then."

"Have you drank?"

Emperor Gou Chen asked with a smile.

"Hey, when Sun Wukong made trouble in Heaven, I followed him and ate countless fairy peaches and elixirs. As for fairy wine, that monkey may not have consumed as much as I have."

Huanxin's face flushed as he confessed his mistake. He sat down next to Emperor Gou Chen and said, "You are quite straightforward. I have met many emperors, but you are the most straightforward."

After saying that, he opened another jar of wine and filled it up for Emperor Gou Chen.

"Come, I'll toast you."

Huanxin said while holding his own wine jar.

Seeing that he was so rude, Gou Chen was not angry at all. He gently picked up the wine bowl and clinked it with Huan Xin.

"Lin Yuanjue, let me ask you, do you think he can succeed?"

Gou Chen suddenly asked.

The one he was referring to was naturally the Emperor Ziwei.

"How should I know?"

Lin Dong said with a slight frown.

"Okay. Then let me ask you again, do you want to become the demon king? The new Heavenly Emperor?"

Gou Chen asked again.

"It depends on fate. If there is fate, then I will naturally think about it."

Gou Chen picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.

"Why don't you drink?"

Huanxin, who was standing by, saw that Lin Dong and Yuan Tiangang didn't drink, so she gave each of them a bowl, including Wu Meiniang.

Then he opened another jar and poured a large bowl into each person's mouth.

"Emperor Gou Chen, hello. If you are willing, please help my friend become the new Heavenly Emperor. In the future, if you need any help, we will never refuse."

Huanxin filled Gou Chen's glass with wine and said.

Gou Chen stared at Huan Xin deeply and said, "Man makes things happen, but God makes plans. If there is destiny, then it is there. If there is no destiny, no one can force it."

"Ha. We don't believe in destiny."

Huanxin waved her hand.

"Although Lin Yuanjue and I are not born of the same mother, we are brothers who have shared life and death together, and we usually make no distinction between you and me. Emperor Gou Chen, I'll tell you the truth, the person behind us is no less powerful than a saint. He is obsessed with the position of the demon emperor. If you can help me, we will be brothers in the same trench in the future. To be honest, there are many emperors in the heavens, some are strong and some are weak, but you are the one I am most optimistic about. You help my Yuanjue become the new emperor. He also helps you, how about letting all the gods and stars of the Beidou system be allocated to you? Let you reproduce the glory of the former Emperor Gou Chen."

Huanxin said as if he was enlightened.

"Hahaha, this emperor has long been invincible in the world. Why do I need other help?"

A sincere smile appeared on Gou Chen's cold face.

He teased Huanxin mainly for fun.

Upon hearing this, Huanxin narrowed her eyes, held the jar of wine and drank without saying anything else.

Huanxin originally thought that Gou Chen came here to see them for some matter of interest, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

Lin Dong's eyes were instead more focused on the necklace hanging around Gou Chen's neck.

"Using stars as beads is quite a big deal."

Lin Dongxin said.

at the same time.

dong dong dong.

The inn's waiter, the rosy-cheeked land god, took off the bell from his waist and shook it gently, and the melodious sound spread far away.

"What's so mysterious about this?"

As Lin Dong was pondering, he felt several powerful auras rising into the sky and approaching this place.

In an instant, all kinds of sacred lights shone everywhere, and immortals and Buddhas arrived together.

The first one to come forward was Lin Dong and the others’ old friend, the sallow-faced Zhenwu Emperor.

"Coming."

Gou Chen, who was sitting at a table in the center of the inn, nodded to Zhenwu.

The Great Emperor Zhenwu looked over intently, first bowed to Gou Chen, and when he looked up, his eyes met Lin Dong's.

"Hello, Brother Yuanjue."

Emperor Zhenwu was the first to greet.

"Did Master Yu Ding come to see you?"

Lin Dong asked a question that embarrassed Emperor Zhenwu with a half-smile.
