I’ll Quit Being a God

Under the dark night, the moonlight was cold.

The originally bustling riverside was now deserted.

The Wuzhi people completed the main ceremony of cremation. The ashes of Mr. Wu have been poured into the river and flowed down the river.

The fire that was originally burning had been extinguished long ago, and only the ceremonial wizard and a few descendants of the filial family wearing sackcloth and wearing mourning were left to shout to the soul by the riverside and send the old man off respectfully.

This kind of ceremony will last all night, the ceremonial wizard will recite different scriptures, and the Wu family disciples who call the soul will continue to rotate until dawn.

Although there are still many white spiritual flags hanging on the riverside, there are many Wuzhi people staying.

But compared to the bustle with crowds of people at the beginning, it is now much deserted.

Lu Heng stood in the void and said goodbye to Gu Zhou, "What happened here, Mr. Wu's soul, Mr. Lu, will be taken away. As a result, Empress Jiang Shen's trip was in vain, and Mr. Lu felt uneasy."

Gu Zhou smiled and said, "It's been an eye-opener for me to see the ghost world tonight. It's just..."

As he said that, Gu Zhou hesitated slightly.

Seeing this, Lu Heng said, "Jiang Shen, if you have anything to say, just speak up."

Gu Zhou hesitated for a long time, and then said, "This matter is very relevant, and I will allow you to go back and think about it. If you agree, I will come back to visit you in a few days."

Lu Heng was slightly surprised - judging from the situation, it seems that Empress Jiang Shen also wants to contribute to the construction of Netherworld?

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "In that case, Lu is waiting for the Queen in Fushan City."

Of course, the more free coolies, the better!

Jiang Shen is willing to help, so why should Lu Heng extrapolate? Of course he agreed.

Chapter 121 Hindsight

After bidding farewell to Jiang Shen Gu Zhou, Lu Heng returned to the city with the soul of Mr. Wu.

Helan Wu Zhu seemed a little absent-minded when he said goodbye, but Lu Heng didn't say much and left directly with Mr. Wu's soul.

Sometimes being too enthusiastic can easily lead to suspicion.

Anyway, the seeds have been planted, and all Lu Heng has to wait for is for them to germinate and bear fruit.

In the courtyard behind the Fire Temple, when Lu Heng returned with Mr. Wu's soul, Xiao Ai was guarding the door where Lu Heng's body was.

Seeing Lu Heng back, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief and finally relaxed.

"Lord Wolf God," Xiao Ai called.

Lu Heng nodded as a greeting.

He gave up the soul of the old man beside him and introduced with a smile, "This is the old man of the Wu family. Xiao Ai, you attended Mr. Wu's funeral before."

Xiao Ai was slightly surprised to see the old man's soul, but he didn't say anything and saluted to the old man.

Facing the little girl with silver hair and animal ears in front of him, Wu Yuan did not dare to express his gratitude and quickly returned the gift.

Lu Heng introduced, "This is Xiao Ai, and that is Huo Feng, a disciple of Yunmen. He is traveling with me now... The name of the little Gu sculpture on his shoulder is Gu Yan."

After introducing the old man one by one, Lu Heng smiled and led the old man to sit down in the courtyard and said.

"The old gentleman's soul has drifted away, and he should have been waiting for reincarnation in the underworld, away from the sun and wind of the human world. It's just the matter of the Wu family in the world of the world, and the old gentleman is probably still worried... What the old gentleman said before, he said that he was betrayed by his treacherous son Poison, I wonder how the old gentleman plans to deal with this matter?"

Lu Heng's question made Wu Yuan silent for a while.

Under the moonlight, the old man sighed and said, "If you want to blame me, I can only blame the younger generation for having a son in old age and being too pampered."

"The eldest son has a soft temperament and seems gentle, but in fact he is constantly thinking and is too selfish. He only thinks about himself when things happen."

"The younger son has a wild personality and was not restrained when he was young, which made him even more naughty. In his early years, he was sent to the mountains to practice in the hope that he would learn to learn well, but he was eventually kicked out by the master."

"After coming back, I have no choice but to let him lead the caravan and let him travel north and south, so as to prevent him from staying in the city to live leisurely and cause trouble again."

The more the old man spoke, the more miserable his face became, "I expected the boss to gradually take charge of the affairs. After all, although this child is narrow-minded, he is also capable of doing things. But I didn't expect that this traitor would poison me and try to seize power... ah..."

When the old man said this, his tangled face made Lu Heng quite speechless.

This old man was hit hard...

After a while, the old man said bitterly, "This junior has chosen the wrong person. The future of the Wushi clan should not have relied on these two naughty and rebellious sons."

"Now I suddenly realize who I can trust... My second daughter, although she is a daughter, is smart and capable, and has done a lot for our Wushi clan over the years."

"It seems that the future of the Wu family can only be entrusted to her."

The old man sighed and decided, making Lu Heng nodded.

He didn't comment much on the old man's decision. At least the old man in front of him has a thorough understanding of the situation at home.

Before, it was just a matter of luck that led to such an ending.

Lu Heng said, "Now that Mr. Lu has made his decision, Mr. Lu will help you put things right. But before acting, Mr. Lu still needs to think more."

"This matter is very involved. If you act based on your will, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

The old man quickly agreed to Lu Heng's words of comfort, "What the senior said is absolutely true. I will keep it in my mind."

Lu Heng said nothing and asked Xiao Ai to take the old man to an empty house to rest. Then he sat in the courtyard and continued to study the scroll of bamboo slips sent by He Lanzhen.

Everything about the Wu family is now clear.

Helping Mr. Wu bring things right was just a trivial matter for Lu Heng, so there was no need to pay too much attention to it.

Therefore, what he was thinking about was whether to ask He Lanzhen for some practice secrets to study next.

If he could learn more about the practice secrets of other monks and broaden his horizons, it would be of great help to him in exploring his own way of practice.

On the other side, after He Lanzhen said goodbye to Lu Heng, she returned to the Fire Temple with some thoughts.

Stepped into his room.

Although it is a city of witchcraft, He Lanzhen's room is not luxurious, and it is definitely not as luxurious as the elders of the old clans in the city.

There were too many worries in her heart. He Lanzhen lit the candle in the room with a wave of her hand, and suddenly saw a figure sitting in the room.

The other party was sitting in the middle of the room, looking at He Lanzhen with a smile.

With He Lanzhen's cultivation level, he didn't even sense the slightest aura?

He Lanzhen was startled at first, then saw the face of the visitor clearly, and saluted quickly, "He Lanzhen has met the king."

He Lanzhen was already accustomed to the king's elusive behavior.

Lian Shanjing looked at her with a smile and said, "No need to be formal, come and sit."

After inviting He Lanzhen to sit next to her, Lian Shanjing said with a smile, "I heard that you are going to see the world with the Wolf God tonight? How about it? Is it fun?"

He Lanzhen was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, "Master, were you there at that time? Then why didn't you show up?"

"Uh... cough..." Lian Shanjing coughed dryly and almost choked.

She wanted to make fun of her, but she didn't expect that she would be turned against him...

Looking silently at He Lanzhen who didn't understand what a joke was, Lian Shanjing felt a little tired.

"Hey...it's nothing, let's skip this matter," Lian Shanjing waved her hand and said, "Let's talk about where the Wolf God took you. Why did I not even get a breath after you disappeared?" Can’t even feel the machine? Where have you been?”

When Lian Shanjing mentioned business, He Lanzhen's expression became serious.

She thought of all the strange places in that netherworld, so she immediately grabbed the king's hand and recounted everything she saw and heard during her trip.

In the candlelight, Lian Shanjing's expression gradually became serious from the smile at the beginning.

The irresistible magical power, the dark and gloomy world of death, the water of the underworld that condenses the souls of mortals, the weak water that is difficult to float, and the so-called reincarnation passage on the weak water...

After listening to He Lanzhen's story, Lian Shanjing, who originally came here with a joking attitude, couldn't laugh at all.

Because He Lanzhen's experience and description of the wolf god's magical powers reminded her of something.

——When she was following the Wolf God, she seemed to feel an inexplicable sense of horror above the Pang River.

It seemed that he was being targeted by something at that time.

But at that time, she didn't realize the power of the Wolf God's thunder, so she didn't think much about it.

Now that I think about it...did the Wolf God want to imprison her in that dark and gloomy netherworld at that time? Did she circle around the gate of hell? That's why she was suddenly frightened?

After realizing this, the expression on Lian Shanjing's face was extremely exciting...

PS: There are two more updates today, which will be posted later.

Chapter 122 The little mouth is so sweet

Lian Shanjing's strange expression made He Lanzhen full of surprise.

Even if the ghost world is indeed magical, the king wouldn't have this reaction, right?

She couldn't help but call out, "The king...the king?"

Two calls in a row brought Lian Shanjing back to her senses.

"Oh? Oh...where did we talk just now?" Lian Shanjing adjusted her expression and regained her composure, "Continue."

"..." He Lanzhen was a little speechless, but the character of the king was already out of the ordinary, so it was not surprising that he would occasionally do shocking things.

She could only sigh and continue, "This ghost world created by the Wolf God is by no means an ordinary small world."

"Its vast territory and special inner rules cannot be built overnight. Moreover, the existence of the reincarnation passage has the unpredictable power of ghosts and gods."

"If it can be developed and used, maybe..."

He Lanzhen didn't say the next words because it was a bit hard to say.

Lian Shanjing was not averse to meat and vegetables, so she answered directly, "You just want to say that if this reincarnation channel can be opened to the world, there will be no soulless syndrome in the future?"

"What's not to say? The Wolf God is not a stingy person, so what's the harm if he says it?"

Lian Shanjing said, "And why did the Wolf God suddenly take you to see the underworld? Is it really just a coincidence? Ha..."

Lian Shanjing smiled and said, "I have been walking with the Wolf God for a while, so I have some understanding of him."

"Although this guy is noble and upright, sometimes he is as childish as a naughty boy."

"His Nether World is so strange. If it is only used to deal with enemies, why does it have to be so complicated? It is also the Yellow Spring Water that condenses the souls of mortals, and it is also a reincarnation tunnel that can be reincarnated..."

"In addition, all the unique features of this Netherworld are of great benefit to the souls of the dead... Why did he bother so much to get so many fancy things?"

Lian Shanjing raised a finger and shook it, and said, "I don't think you are the only one who wants to change the soulless syndrome. Someone wanted to change all this many years ago, so that's why This extremely strange ghost world."

"Now that I am taking you to visit the Netherworld, I just want to use your words to tell me about Huo Tongguo, saying that he has a solution to the soullessness syndrome."

Lian Shanjing smiled and said, "This guy...even if he wants to change the current situation in the world, he still has to ask us to ask him. Do you think he is childish?"

He Lanzhen was speechless, but she wanted to say in her heart that it is quite childish for you to think so.

But after all, the person in front of him is the king of the country, so some things can only be said in his heart.

She thought for a while and said, "Then let's go directly to the Wolf God. Maybe the Wolf God will agree to our request?"

Lian Shanjing thought for a while, then shook her head and sighed.

"It's not that easy... The Wolf God didn't speak out, so he must have his concerns."

"Since he said that the Netherworld can only be entered and cannot be exited, it means that in order to build this reincarnation system, someone must maintain order in the human world and guide souls into the Netherworld."

"But there are so many dead people in the world. To maintain this order, a lot of manpower and material resources are needed... Where can we find these manpower?"

"Whether this responsibility is handed over to the fire temples in each city, or another place of authority is opened, Huotong Kingdom will need to make huge changes."

"If this matter is handled carelessly, it may even affect the livelihood of the country and people. I cannot make a decision easily."

"Let's do this. You continue to stay in Fushan City to entertain the Wolf God. If the Wolf God has any requests, he will satisfy them. And I will go back to my country to have a good chat with those old men."

"This matter must be discussed internally and we must first come up with a result and set the tone before we go to the Wolf God to negotiate."

Lian Shanjing said, stood up directly, and said, "The Wolf God is left to you. Don't let him run away."

He Lanzhen hesitated - the Wolf God is really going to leave, can I stop him?

Even Shanjing realized that her request was a bit outrageous, so she smiled and said, "Okay, okay, just entertain me well. If the Wolf God wants to leave, try your best to keep him. If you really can't keep him, you can also find a way to ask Ask the Wolf God where he is going next so that I can find him in the future... Isn't that embarrassing?"
