Lord of Immortals

Chapter 18 The Rat Demon Emperor and the Hundred Concubines of the Human Race

Ge Xian sighed and looked up at the three clay sculptures.

At this moment, their shells are disintegrating, and there are three completely different types, but all of them are filled with cold and smelly evil spirit.

A group of evil cultivators immediately began to drive the townspeople out of the temple, but those who resisted were slapped one after another. Within a few seconds, a bunch of townspeople with bruises and swollen faces crawled out of the so-called Sanniangniang Temple.

The salesmen and foot traders disappeared immediately.

Looking back again, I could only hear the wild laughter of Zhang Yu and Zhao Wuyou again:

"Hahaha...a red-crowned pheasant, a green bamboo leaf, and an old white-haired cat all dare to call themselves gods."

"These ignorant people recognize you, does the court recognize you?"

Following the ridicule of these two ghosts and the sudden noise of fighting, the Sanniangniang Temple collapsed in an instant.

Amid the smoke and dust, three different-looking monsters appeared.

Ge Xian and the other salesmen took a closer look. Sure enough, as Zhang Yu and Zhao Wuyou said, they were a red-crowned pheasant that was more than ten feet long, a green bamboo leaf hanging in the air, and an extremely old pheasant with bald spots everywhere, only the remaining Some white-haired female cat demons.

Among the three monsters, the pheasant spirit with sharp eyes is the leader.

He saw her walking out with her head held high and refuting the two ghosts' words in a sharp voice:
"The imperial court? Humph, the imperial court itself cannot be protected now, so what's the point of recognizing it or not."

"If the [Original Dynasty] was at its peak, we, the spirits and monsters who were not listed, would not even dare to show up, and those officials and immortals who were listed and received rewards would also be concerned about eating. With all their efforts, we can say that the ruler of this world is After all, these weak human races are capable of reproducing."

"Nowadays, we are in troubled times. Naturally, it depends on the ability of each family. The stronger ones can eat more and occupy more."

"Compared to the corrupt officials behind you who are starting to pull off their false faces, we, Sanniangniang, know very well the principle of "fishing from the lake" and are not greedy. That's why many people in this town serve us devoutly."

"It's hard to find travelers, merchants or wanderers who have been passing by recently. They even plan to sacrifice some lazy people in the town."

"You are looking for trouble for us, but have you asked them if they are willing?"

As soon as Pheasant Spirit finished speaking, the two ghosts and the other cultivators looked around.

I saw hundreds of strong townspeople, led by the mayor, holding some sickles, hoes, and manure raking forks, encouraging each other to come closer.

Then they started booing and shouting:
"Get out of Nantai Town."

"That's right, we serve the three empresses sincerely. They not only expel evil spirits for us, but also cast spells to help us have good weather. Don't we know whether they are demons or not?"

"The laws of Qiantang County cannot control Nantai Town."

"Don't let dogs and mice meddle in other people's business, get out of here, otherwise don't blame us for being ruthless."

"Hmph, you corrupt officials from Qiantang are not ignorant of the situation in recent years. Without the protection of the three empresses, Nantai Town would have withered long ago. Now that it is peaceful, you come here to pretend to be stupid. Get out of here."

"You even set up a propaganda team to deceive me into going to Qiantang. Do you think we haven't heard of the [County Magistrate of Cutting Stocks]?"

……

Ge Xian was watching the excitement when he suddenly heard the last sentence and almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The master was humiliated, and both ghosts were angry. They ordered all the evil cultivators to stop moving and just looked at the stupid people in the town. Then they all laughed ferociously, showing their evil ghost appearances, and pounced on the three-headed spirits.

A fighting battle, watched by at least a thousand people, began immediately.

And within dozens of breaths, it was declared over.

Without any suspense, Sanniangniang was defeated.

Hundreds of elites in Nantai Town, who had been suppressed by a group of evil cultivators, and the rest of the townspeople stared dumbfoundedly at the astonishing ghostly looks of Zhang Yu and Zhao Wuyou on the ruins of the temple, and at their feet, the three bodies gradually transformed. The bones of the empress used as ashes.

After sucking up the spoils, the two ghosts spat and said:

"Pooh!"

"Three stupid monsters, they have tasted the sweetness of cannibalism, and they think they can be free in this world, and can become the descendants of immortals and gods. They don't care about their own status. They are afraid that they don't even know where to open the Wanfa Sect. Daydreaming.”

After scolding, the two ghosts looked at the Nantai townspeople again.

Now that I have broken my skin, I am too lazy to pretend anymore, so I said sadly:
"You stupid people mistakenly believe in this unworthy and wild god's obscene worship, and you have killed many innocent people."

"After returning to Qiantang, the reward of money and food will be halved."

"Give you another hour to pack your luggage, and I will recruit the townspeople from [Anle Town] ten miles away, and we will return to Qiantang County together."

"Of course, if you are not convinced, you can take advantage of this opportunity to find other spirits and demons to come over and see if they can protect you?"

……

After the dust settled, the two ghosts left a few evil cultivators in the town to watch, and then led the team to the next realm.

Anle Town is much larger than Nantai Town, with a population of more than [-]. It is a major grain-producing town.

However, the situation of this town is very different from that of Nantai Town.

Seeing the arrival of the propaganda escort team, the townspeople cheered and looked very happy to welcome Master Wang. Without waiting for the propaganda team to tell the favor and reward, they first complained about the accident in the town, saying that there was a rebellion here, and the common people did not say anything, and had already Proclaimed emperor, bestowed officials, and received hundreds of concubines.

At first, everyone thought that there was really a new rebel army in Anle Town.

But soon, everyone saw scenes of absurd scenes: the entire town of Anle was transformed into a beggar's version of the metropolis. It was heavily guarded, with many soldiers patrolling, and even the emperor went on patrol, where hundreds of officials met and discussed politics. Then he played with many concubines in the harem in the wine pond and the meat forest.

The absurd thing is that, except for those women who were obviously snatched by force, the rest of the emperor, officials, guards, etc., are all... rat demons without exception.

It's not that the rat demon is very powerful, it's just that its intelligence has been forcibly opened and it can make some gestures.

Of course, we have to exclude a strange rat demon that is standing high on the so-called "Star Reaching Platform" at this moment, enjoying dozens of human concubines in his arms.

It has a rat head and body, more than two feet tall, with red eyes and a pair of fangs flashing fiercely. The monster body, which looks as white as jade at first glance but is bloated and rotten at a second glance, is impressively covered with a patchwork robe. He was wearing a yellow robe and a rusty, hastily made pig iron crown on his head.

The miserable green evil energy visible to the naked eye permeates from his body. Not only is it smelly, but it also contains strong epidemic poison. Anyone who is not close will be infected with various diseases within ten breaths and die suddenly on the spot.

Although those human concubines were somehow spared from this disaster, they did not fare much better. Each of them had a rotten body, sores on their face, and hairy skin. If you look closely, they were all confused and no longer human.

Looking at the many fine wines and dishes on the banquet table, they are clearly made of human blood, human heart, human liver and other substances.

Seeing this, everyone understood why the residents of Anle Town were suing.

What is unbridled greed?
This is it.

But the news that really surprised Ge Xian and the other salesmen was behind them.

The two demon generals and all the evil cultivators seemed to know the "Rat Demon Emperor".

After they entered Anle Town, the rat demon immediately sent a bunch of strange rats to invite them to a banquet at the Star Reaching Platform.It's a pity that none of the cultivators gave him face.

After leaving, they didn’t even eat a glass of wine. Instead, they all drank and cursed:
"Taoist Baiyu, how did you become like this? Are you looking for death?"

"Well, you white jade rat demon, you are just a strange rat who has attained enlightenment. There is no way to guide you. The imperial court allowed you to assume the position of [Child God] here and built a temple for you. Don't you want to be grateful? Come on, you dare to take this place as your own, and you are so bold that you dare to claim the title of emperor and have a concubine."

"A rat demon, also known as the emperor, what is your status?"

"The great town of Anle has been turned into a mess by you. All the townspeople should follow us to Qiantang to find true peace."

……

From the shouts and curses, Ge Xian instantly judged the situation here.

The dissolute, sinister and disgusting rat demon emperor on the stage was originally the [God of Anlezi] consecrated by the Great Yuan Dynasty. Compared with the Sanniang Niang in front of him, this person can be regarded as a regular local immortal god.

But now, I don't know whether it's his nature or alienation, but the fish meat is squeezing the townspeople, which is more than ten times more violent than the pheasant essence and bamboo leaf green that are used to worship wild gods.

The demon general and the evil cultivators yelled and cursed, making the rat demon emperor on the stage stunned at first, and then changed his face.

He seemed to be very angry, his whole body was shaking, and he slapped the table repeatedly.

Pointing at the two ghost generals and a group of evil cultivators, he cursed:

"How brave!"

"Out of past friendship, I invited you thieves to come and drink and have fun together, but you have become arrogant."

"Say I should be grateful? I have worked hard in Anle Town for many years, and the population of this town has expanded from more than [-] to thousands. All the credit is due to me... Now the situation has changed, and practitioners like us don't have to If I keep covering up and restraining myself, won’t I be allowed to have fun and enjoy myself?”

"Besides, in the past, the [Holy Cult of Ten Thousand Laws] suppressed evil habits for us, but now no one cares about this matter. Even if I want to maintain the appearance of a kind son-god, I can't do it."

"Just rebel against his mother, and live your life like an emperor."

"Don't think that I don't know the treachery of you thieves. I just saw that the situation has changed drastically, and harvests have begun everywhere in the world. I feel that these two-legged beasts are quite valuable to hoard, so I came to snatch them so that I can sell them at a good price in the future. So much."

"Hmph, how can you allow your gang of thieves to succeed? Come on, little ones, capture them for me, peel off their skins, scrape off their flesh and blood, cut out their hearts and livers and bring them to me to drink."

Ge Xian didn't know what this rat demon looked like when he was a serious immortal god.

But his current position as foreign minister and his unbridled and arrogant tone are all like a country emperor.

Following its "imperial edict", all the officials and soldiers took off their clothes and armor, revealing the body of a rat demon with knotted muscles, rotten body, filthy stench, and then turned towards the two ghost generals and the evil cultivators. Come.

Ge Xian was the quickest to see the opportunity. While retreating, he quickly extracted the secret of the rat demon emperor's words.

It is said to be a secret, but only for ordinary people.

In his observation, those practitioners who have been in Taoism for a long time almost all have an appearance that they have known for a long time.

"That is to say!"

"When the Dayuan Dynasty was at its peak, the destiny of the human race was also prosperous. Although the officials and immortals such as Lu Hualong and Rat Demon were all demon monks, they were restrained and covered up to maintain the superficial prosperity."

"When the troubled times came, the Great Yuan Dynasty was no longer able to maintain balance and suppress the evil habits of these demon monks. The situation collapsed to this point. The human race suffered a catastrophe, and every province and county was harvested."

"If there are no accidents, in the next ten years, the number of human beings will be cut in half again and again, and will be reduced sharply to the realm of ten houses and nine empty spaces."

"Powerful demons such as [Lu Hualong] foresee this in advance, so they start to raise pure flesh and blood humans in captivity and hoard them?"

Every time he extracted a sentence, Ge Xian's face became uglier.

He has fully understood the purpose of this world, and also clearly understood what kind of difficult path of cultivation he has chosen.

Before digesting all this, another surprising change occurred in the field.

I don't know if the rat demon called "White Jade Taoist" had his brain burned out by his evil habit, and he really thought he was a powerful emperor.

Without moving, he sent out a bunch of low-class rat demons to hunt down the two evil generals and a group of evil cultivators who obviously had the resources to train them.

The result is self-evident, they were all massacred.

Seeing rivers of blood and rat corpses piled up under the star-catching platform, it hurriedly woke up.

He didn't even say harsh words, and immediately enlarged his moves the next moment.

Just hearing a sharp rat cry, the ground in Anle Town trembled crazily, and then a strange phenomenon broke out.

"Bottomless pits" appeared one after another, swallowing up houses and townspeople. Then, like a torrent, waves of rats surged out of the holes, and "strange rats" almost as big as cats jumped out, grabbing a person in their mouths. A townie dragged him to the bottom of the cave.

The rat demon emperor took the human concubine and retreated into the largest cave.

Before entering the cave, the guy finally felt brave again and said with a sharp smile:

"I know there are people behind you thieves. If I kill you, there will be a lot of trouble in the future, so I won't bother."

"If you don't let me be the emperor on earth, then I will become the emperor underground."

"If you have the guts, you can follow."

After the last sentence fell, the rat demon and the human race's hundred concubines disappeared.

The terrifying tide of rats rushing around almost dragged away three-quarters of the population of Anle Town.

This scene happened so fast that Zhang Yu, Zhao Wuyou and all the evil cultivators were unable to react in time.

At this time, they were all furious.

"These caves and tunnels were dug by the rat monsters born by White Jade Taoist. They are not real bottomless pits, so don't worry."

"I will go in and snatch the townspeople back, otherwise you will be punished by your Excellency."

"I heard that one of the evil habits of the old white jade thief is called "treasure hiding". He also has a rat tide under his command, so he must have hoarded a lot of treasures in his lair. My two brothers have made the decision. After killing the old white jade thief, we will wait for him. How about sharing the treasure equally and never taking more?"

"good!"

"kill!"

The treasure was the most touching, and without any hesitation, all the evil cultivators followed the two ghosts into the cave, even Wang's parents-in-law who had previously been unwilling to touch the rat monster.

After they entered the cave, no one noticed the salesmen and traders who were running away.

A certain young salesman's eyes lit up when he heard the word "treasure". Then when he was running away, he stumbled suddenly and accidentally fell into one of the caves, and went underground with the rat tide.
