Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 225
Li Xiuyuan came to the cloud on a dragon horse, and after paying attention to the situation here, he scanned the huge chariot, wanting to see which way the gods were traveling.

But above the chariot, the curtains were drawn down, but the inside was empty, and there was no one sitting on it.

"A sage in the world is looking for his own god?" But at this time, a faint voice sounded from behind.

Looking back, I saw a black-haired man in black, sitting on a huge turtle with a sword hanging from his waist. There were desks and seats on it, and he was raising a glass to drink, looking leisurely.

"I don't know which god in the sky is here." Li Xiuyuan saluted.

"This god is a true martial god in the sky. During this trip, I happened to pass by this place. I didn't want to meet a sage standing on the top of the mountain, frowning and sighing, so I was curious, stopped the car, put down the ladder, and invited the sage to come and gather. .”

This black-haired man with a sword hanging from his waist and a big tortoise sitting on his back claimed to be the True God of Martial Arts.

"If you don't think the cloud is simple, would you like to sit down and talk?"

After finishing speaking, Lord Zhenwushen pointed to the desks on the shimmering cloth blanket above the clouds next to him.

Obviously, the seats had been prepared before Li Xiuyuan's arrival.

"Since it is an invitation from the true martial god in the sky, how can I refuse it."

Li Xiuyuan gave a salute, then got off the dragon horse and prepared to take his seat.

But as soon as he stepped down, his feet fell, and he found that what he was stepping on was not a white cloud, but the body of a strange beast. The body of this strange beast was extremely long and covered with scales, like a dragon lying under the clouds.

"This is." Li Xiuyuan let out a light snort.

Zhenwu Shenjun smiled and said: "Sages in the world should not be surprised. You are born with ghosts and gods not close. This cloud road cannot bear your weight. You can only support it with the body of a big snake under your command."

After finishing speaking, a giant snake's head poked out from the clouds next to him, and it looked like Li Xiuyuan. At the same time, the huge and slender body squirmed under the clouds, and carried Li Xiuyuan to the seat.

"Turtle and snake intersect, this is a basalt." Li Xiuyuan was startled secretly, and at the same time stepped down from the snake body, came to the table and gave a salute before sitting down.

At this moment, a fairy came over and brought fine wine and a few dishes of jade plates. There were not many things on the jade plates, only a few jujubes, some exotic fruits, and nothing meaty.
Although the style is simple, the things are not extraordinary. The fruits and vegetables are shining brightly, and the fragrance is overflowing, revealing extraordinary. After a drink, the fairies waiting on the left and right are also charming, their beauty is not comparable to that of women in the world, and their beauty is enough to drink.

"Please~!" Lord Zhenwushen raised his glass to invite, and gestured with a smile.

A purple-clothed fairy next to her picked up the jug and knelt beside her with a smile to pour wine for Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan raised his glass to welcome each other out of politeness, and they both drank each other's drinks in one gulp.

The wine has a strong aroma, clear but not spicy, and tastes better than any wine in the world, even the Tang Dynasty Western Region grape wine he drank in the Town God's Temple that day can't compare with it.

Moreover, after drinking, his mind became clear, and his fatigue was swept away.

"I don't know what trifles the saints in the world are worried about recently, can you tell me?" Zhenwu Shenjun put down his wine glass and asked with a smile.

Li Xiuyuan said: "The world is in turmoil, and under this cloud is the boundary of Guobei City. It has not been peaceful here recently. A while ago, the Dragon King of the Wujiang River rained heavily for more than ten days, causing floods that stretched for more than a hundred miles. , the people suffered a lot, and there were countless casualties, and the flood was followed by a plague, as far as I know, the plague was spread by the plague god in the sky, and I was chasing the plague god just now to stop her from spreading the plague."

"Unfortunately, I was disturbed by someone on the way and let the God of Plague go. Now the God of Plague has gone somewhere, so I am worried about this matter."

Zhenwu Shenjun shook his head and said: "Floods, plagues, these are common things in the world, and they cannot be interfered by human beings. The plague god of the Ministry of Plague spread the plague presumably because of the decree. A sage should not stop the God of Plague, and now that the God of Plague has escaped, it is God's will, and it cannot be forced."

"Everything must be done in accordance with the sky, so I don't know why the true martial god has a sword handle hanging around his waist? Why is there a turtle and snake accompanying him when he sits down, and a golden armored god hugging him?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

Zhenwu Shenjun replied with a smile: "My god travels around the world, and it is inevitable to kill evil spirits and exterminate evil spirits. Naturally, he must have a sword and armor guards."

"That's right, demons and ghosts harming the world still need to be exterminated, but the plague in the Ministry of Plague is several times stronger than demons and ghosts, shouldn't it be stopped?"

Li Xiuyuan said again: "If it is in accordance with the sky, then why should the true martial god bother himself and run around to subdue demons and eliminate demons? You must know that those demons are also born of the heaven and earth, and they are part of all creatures. Then they will cause disasters to the common people Isn’t it also God’s will? The gods in the sky should pretend not to see this, instead of going to the lower realm to destroy them.”

"The demons and ghosts do not abide by the laws of the heaven and the earth, and disturb the stability of the mortal world. Naturally, they must be exterminated." Zhenwu Shenjun replied.

Li Xiuyuan said, "The spread of the plague by the plague god of the Ministry of Plague also disturbed the stability of the mortal world, so naturally we must stop it."

Zhenwu Shenjun shook his head with a smile and said: "This is different. There is no one to restrain demons and ghosts from harming the world. Once they are left unchecked, it will cause endless disasters. The plague god in the sky spreads the plague according to the law. How many miles will it spread?" The plague, how many people died, and those people were sick, there are requirements, as long as the requirements are met, the god of plague will return to the heavenly palace, and the plague will naturally disappear at that time."

"In this way, it is reasonable that some people should be infected with the plague and die?" Li Xiuyuan said: "This is wrong. People's longevity, blessings, weddings and funerals, birth, old age, sickness and death, all have definite numbers, and everything is recorded here. over the book."

After speaking, he took out a large black book from the ghost king's bag.

There are three words "book of life and death" written on it

"This is the book of life and death I got from the underworld. It records the fate of all the people in this land. However, according to what Zhenwu Shenjun said, I prevented the plague god from spreading the plague in a village before, and that village should have been killed by the plague. The dead are not dead, and the fate has changed, so it can be seen that the fate above can be changed, so we can also know that the spread of the plague can also be stopped, as long as someone can do it." Li Xiuyuan said.

Zhenwu Shenjun was silent for a while: "The words of the sages in the world are indeed reasonable. To follow the sky is a part of the heaven, and to go against the sky is also a part of the heaven. , you are a saint in the world, maybe only you can change everything, so let me tell you the location of the God of Plague, and whether you can stop it depends on your ability as a saint in the world."

"If that's the case, then I would like to thank the God of Martial Arts." Li Xiuyuan saluted.

"This is a trivial matter, and it is not enough to be thanked. Although the plague god escaped, I saw her fleeing towards Jinling City, and turned into an old woman in ragged clothes with a headband wrapped around her head. Three miles outside Jinling City There is a gazebo in the land where you can wait for the God of Plague." Zhenwu Shenjun said.

"So that's the case, thank you Lord Zhenwu for telling me." Li Xiuyuan said.

Knowing the whereabouts and appearance of the God of Plague, he is naturally sure to stop the God of Plague.

At this time, Zhenwu Shenjun stood up from the turtle and snake and said: "The sage in the world is going to stop the plague, and the god is going to the north to kill the demons, so we parted. When we meet again in the future, I hope to have more time with the sage in the world." Have a few drinks."

After finishing speaking, the turtle and snake under his feet neighed and carried him along the avenue formed by the clouds to the north.

The team behind them followed closely, and quickly turned into streaks of blue smoke and went away with the wind.

The originally bustling top of the clouds was now empty, leaving only Li Xiuyuan and a dragon horse beside him.

No, not right.

Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved, and he looked at the table in front of him.

The table was not taken away, and there was a jug of wine and several jade butterflies on it. Apart from some fresh fruits, they were placed in the middle, and the most eye-catching ones were three green dates the size of a fist.

"A gift?" Li Xiuyuan was also a flexible person.

All the convoys of the True Martial God left, but this case was left behind, which was obviously a gift for him.

Regarding this, he was not polite, and took all of them away with the ghost king's cloth bag, not even leaving the cloth blankets under the case.

The things used by gods of this status must not be ordinary things. They may not need them, but the people around them will always use them.
