Under One Person, the little witch only wants to collect elves

Chapter 324 What will happen when the eight deceitful gods are gathered together?

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the increasingly intense land annexation, the landlords and powerful people had their own troops. In addition, the internal politics of the court was corrupt and dark, the relatives and eunuchs interfered in politics, and the court was unable to control local forces, thus leading to a situation of warlords fighting for power.

What is even more surprising is that among the heroes at the end of the Han Dynasty, nearly two-thirds were extraordinary people, or what people today call "strange people".

Yuan Shao, the leader of the Guanyin Alliance, had a life full of ups and downs, which can be said to be a high-profile life but ended in a miserable way.

He came from a prominent and upright family. He killed the eunuchs and later joined forces with the governors of the Guandong prefectures and counties to fight against Dong Zhuo. He was elected as the leader of the alliance and had great influence.

After Dong Zhuo's death, the Guandong Army began to annex each other. Yuan Shao seized Jizhou and made himself the governor of Jizhou. Later, he seized Qingzhou and Bingzhou.

In the fourth year of Chuping, Yuan Shao pacified the Black Mountain Army, and in the fourth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao eliminated the Youzhou warlord Gongsun Zan.

At this point, the territory ruled by Yuan Shao spanned four states in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and he led hundreds of thousands of people, becoming the most powerful separatist force at the time.

Unfortunately, Yuan Shao was defeated by Cao Cao in the Battle of Guandu and died of grief and anger in the seventh year of Jian'an.

There is no record in historical records of where Yuan Shao was buried after his death.

Cao Cao at that time was a great hero in troubled times and an expert in tomb robbing. Although the "Gold-Mocking Lieutenant" at that time was not officially recognized, it was a well-known secret.

At that time, tomb robbing was extremely rampant. Whether it was a warlord who dominated a region or a local bandit, almost all of them had a special tomb-robbing team, and some even directly raised funds for the war. Tomb robbing became an extremely covert but common means of survival in troubled times.

Rumor has it that shortly after Yuan Shao's death, his old subordinates secretly took extremely special measures to preserve their master's body. Not long after he was buried, they secretly dug his body out of the tomb and quietly moved it to a hidden area for reburial.

What he did was, firstly, to prevent Yuan Shao's tomb from becoming a target of tomb robbers, and secondly, to prevent retaliation from Cao Cao.

For this reason, in addition to the ancient tombs in Qiangao Longhua Village, the ancient tombs in Yuanlao Village, Shangshui County and the "Yuanjintan" in Caohe are also believed to be the burial place of Yuan Shao.

Now that there is one more Xiaojun Village, Yan Huan no longer finds it strange.

"If it is really the guardian beast passed down from generation to generation by Yuan Shao's family, then it must be the 'Nine Earths' among the Eight Deceitful Gods."

The Eight Deceitful Gods and the Nine Earths are the gods of firmness and solidity, the symbol of Kun earth, with the virtue of carrying great loads. They are the mother of all things, with a gentle and quiet nature, and they give birth to all things.

"We found Taiyin first, and then we found Jiudi..."

Thump, thump!
"My little heart can't take it..."

Yan Huan let out a long sigh, calming his restless heart.

Blah blah blah!
Yan Huan stood in the wilderness. The countryside, which had been calm just a moment ago, suddenly began to rain heavily. The rain poured down like a torrent from the sky, soaking Yan Huan to the bone.

He suddenly raised his head, only to see that the sky above him was still clear, without a trace of dark clouds, only the anxious sunlight shining on his face.

For a moment, Yan Huan felt doubtful.

At this moment, a golden light broke through the clear sky, and Jin Qing Qingming emerged holding a small mermaid.

The little elephant was wet all over, with a pouty little face, a chubby face that looked aggrieved.

Her little hand covered with colorful scales pointed behind herself, and her fish tail swung back and forth, water droplets flew around, and she seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Sister, why does Xiao Wangxiang need to splash water on me?" Yan Huan asked in confusion.

Jin Qing's eyes were cold and he explained calmly, "If your guess is correct, this is already the fifth one. It is too much of a burden on your soul. You cannot imprint Him in your soul anymore."

Yan Huan was stunned for a moment and thought carefully.

It seems to be true. The eight deceitful gods nurtured deep in the soul are enough to make up a mahjong table. If there is one more, I am afraid that even the "royal protector" can be played.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's okay. Since this 'Nine Earths' is the god of firmness, I'll just let it attach to my body. It'll be a good opportunity to give me an indestructible body."

The little elephant in Qingming's arms stopped pouting and lay obediently in Qingming's arms, its colorful scales sparkling in the sun. However, Qingming's expression gradually became solemn, and she suddenly remembered something very important.

"Xiao Huan, have you ever thought about what will happen after the Eight Deceitful Gods are all together?"

"Huh?" Yan Huan was slightly stunned. He had never thought deeply about this question.

Earlier, he had been concentrating on collecting the "Five Elements Essence" and had seriously considered the delicate balance and circulation of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements in the human body, but for the collection of the Eight Fraud Gods...

Apart from considering them as the eight spiritual beasts born at the beginning of heaven and earth, no one thought much about it.

Could it be that the Eight Deceitful Gods are like the “catalog-style” collection in the game, where as long as you collect all eight, you will get a bonus reward?
"It seems... I haven't thought about it..." Yan Huan shook his head helplessly.

Qingming's sigh was like a wisp of cold wind. She frowned slightly and said softly, "In ancient times, there were only two times when the 'Five Elements' and the 'Eight Deceitful Gods' were complete."

Her gaze passed through Yan Huan, as if passing through the fog of time and space, and returned to that distant historical moment. One was the pre-Qin period when a hundred schools of thought contended, and the other was the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the turbulent Three Kingdoms period.

Looking at those who have possessed the essence of the five elements, the great master Zhuang Zhou in the pre-Qin period was one of them. Another person was Sima Hui, the Master of Water Mirror in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

As for the one who possessed all eight fraudulent gods, he was Fan Li, who was known as a military genius, the god of business, the ancestor of business, and was revered as the "God of Wealth" by the people in later generations.

At this time, Bifang spoke out of nowhere, "But there is also a famous figure in history who wants to collect all eight fraudulent gods, and you are very familiar with him now."

"Mr. Kong Ming." Yan Huan replied.

According to Zhuge Qing, in order to change the situation in the world, Kong Ming once planned to gather fifteen sacrifices that matched the three wonders and six instruments in order to gain the ability to reach the sky. Unfortunately, he failed in the end.

"Could it be!?"

"That's right. In addition to the necessary sacrifices, the formation also requires the return of the Eight Deceitful Gods. However, Kong Ming tried his best and still couldn't find one of them. Later, when the situation was about to change, he forcibly activated the formation, and naturally failed." Bifang's voice was surprisingly calm.

Afterwards, the eight deceitful gods dispersed, and only the original White Tiger and Taiyin stayed. After Zhuge Kongming died, Taiyin went to look for a new backer.

"Huan Na, do you know which one of the Eight Deceitful Gods Kong Ming didn't find in the end?"

"Teng Snake." Yan Huan said without thinking.

There was no sound in the air anymore. Yan Huan smoothed the water droplets from her hair, wiped away the water that had soaked her short sleeves, and looked towards the bald-headed tomb of Yuan Shao.

"I didn't expect that such a past event was hidden at that time. Let's wait until the Eight Deceitful Gods are complete, and then go to Wuhou Sect to visit Mr. Kong Ming..."

Swish!
A figure flew across the sky like a gust of wind, and instantly landed in Xiaojun Village and landed in front of Lao Wang's house.

Yan Huan glanced across the courtyard, and the scene that came into his sight made his heart sink.

Under the cypress tree in the courtyard, Lao Wang's body was hanging in mid-air, with the rope tightly around his neck. He was hanging on the tree trunk and swaying gently in the wind. The shadow of the tree was reflected on his face, looking extremely strange.

His eyes were bulging, as if their eyeballs were about to roll out of their sockets. He stared straight ahead, his tongue sticking out crookedly from his mouth, and there was a smile on his purple face - that smile only covered half of his face, while the other half seemed to be frozen in death, stiff and pale.

"What happened in such a short time?" Yan Huan pondered in his heart, walked slowly closer, gently touched Lao Wang's body, and felt the faint residual warmth.

The person has just died, the body has not yet completely cooled down, and the soul has not yet completely dissipated.

Yan Huan's mind moved, and he raised his hand. The air around him instantly stagnated. He took the soul that had not yet completely dissipated back into his palm, and pinched his fingers slightly. Lao Wang's soul gradually appeared and floated in front of him.

When Lao Wang's ghost saw Yan Huan's face clearly, he was immediately frightened out of his wits and screamed, "Ghost!"

Yan Huan raised his hand and slapped him, saying coldly: "Stop making noise, you are the ghost."
