I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 334: Shennong appears and faces Hou Tu

"You're all here, good thing you're here."

In a small courtyard in the City of the Dead, a young man sitting next to a dry well opened his eyes and sighed softly.

"What?" Miss San turned her head and looked at the servant curiously. This guy had been sitting there for three days and three nights. He suddenly woke up and said these words when he opened his eyes. It was very strange.

Zhou Mu shook his head slightly and did not answer. His eyes were extremely deep - through all causes and effects, he could sense that one after another, the aura of great supernatural powers was coming!
good thing.

[Shangcang Zhou Mu] - In other words, although the body of Yuanshi was shackled in the past years,
In your present body, you can already obtain all the capabilities of your original body.

Now, we just have to wait for the Great Red Spirit Body to break into the sacred state - it won’t be too far away.

"Today, I will go to the palace to meet the emperor." Miss San sighed softly, adjusted her red makeup, and adjusted her phoenix crown and robe.
At the side, Zhong Kui, who was dressed in black, supported the Third Miss's arm and said in a low voice:

"when?"

The third lady replied:
"now."

Zhong Kui sighed, and then he and the third lady turned their gazes to the old blind man:
"What about you? Do you still want to enter the palace? The sudden cry of the black bird in the sky may attract countless gazes, and may even attract the arrival of a stronger person like Daluo Naizhi."

After a pause, the third young lady continued:

"In this case, the City of the Dead will become a place where storms converge, and it will be very chaotic."

She was reminding the senior Guaxian not to see the Ghost Emperor Shentu again, and to leave the City of the Dead as soon as possible, leaving this place of trouble.

The old blind man was stunned for a moment, and did not answer immediately. Instead, he subconsciously looked at Zhou Mu. After a moment, the old blind man simply nodded:
"Go, how can I not go?"

Zhong Kui noticed this keenly and became more certain of his original guess.

This pair of 'master and servant' is not really master and servant, vaguely.
That mysterious servant seemed more like the 'leader'.

Who could he be?

Senior Guaxian is qualified to enter the Ultimate Ancient Land. Could it be that this person is also related to the Ultimate Ancient Land?
Zhong Kui’s thoughts were in a state of confusion.

"Lift the sedan." The third lady's voice echoed in the courtyard. Four wandering ghosts lifted the sedan and sprinkled red spider lilies into the sky.

A little devil sang:
"Empress Bao San enters the imperial palace, and thousands of ghosts come to pay homage to her!"

The little ghost kept repeating this sentence over and over again, and the sound of his singing could be heard from far away. The Third Lady was sitting in the bridal sedan, lost in thought.

………………

In the center of the City of the Dead, the East Ghost Palace.

"Sir." Shen Tu bowed to the elderly man, very respectfully, with sweat dripping down his forehead.

The old man ignored him and just frowned slightly:

"The cry of the black bird shakes the Nine Netherworlds. It's interesting, it's interesting."

After a pause, he looked at the Eastern Ghost Emperor who was crawling in front of him and in charge of the East of the Nine Netherworlds:

"Shen Tu, why do you think this is happening? Why is the black bird crying?"

"Sir, I don't know."

Obviously the old man's aura was the same as his, also at the Daluo level, but Shen Tu was extremely respectful, with even more sweat flowing from his forehead.

"Ah."

The old man yawned:
"Some friends are on their way here. Hmm, I didn't expect that Taoist Zhen Yuanzi is also in Jiuyou. That's great. I was going to find a chance to meet them."

After a pause, the old man looked sideways:
"Is the Naihe Bridge clear?"

"To reply to your Excellency, it is still not possible to allow Daluo to pass, but it is feasible for the Divine."

"Oh." The old man nodded: "If I remember correctly, today is your wedding day, right?"

Shen Tu wiped the sweat off his face:
"You are joking, my Lord. It is just taking Bao Zheng's daughter as a concubine. How can it be considered a happy occasion?"

The old man smiled:
"You are the most loyal one, much better than your other colleagues. From today on, you will become the mayor of Fengdu City."

Shen Tu suddenly raised his head, his face full of disbelief, and then ecstasy:
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

"Good." The old man was playing with the six paths of reincarnation in his hands. The [Human Path], which was supposed to be missing and exist in the mortal world, was also among them.

He frowned:
"The human race is beyond salvation. It is destined by heaven that you cannot be the protagonist of the new era. After you become the Lord of Fengdu City, you will immediately gather billions of souls in the underworld and prepare to invade the human world."

After a moment's pause, the old man raised his eyelids, his eyes were extremely cold:
"I will give you the position of the Lord of the Nine Netherworld for the time being. After you conquer the human world, you will return it to me. Do you understand?"

Shen Tu bowed tremblingly:
"Little one understands, little one understands!"

He didn't dare to ask the reason, but just wiped the sweat off his face, still feeling frightened. However, the old man was straightforward and explained directly:

"If the position of Lord of the Nine Netherworlds continues to stay with me, the eyes of fellow Taoists will always be on me. It's very troublesome and I can't do many things."

As he spoke, the old man who was stroking the Six Paths of Reincarnation stood up:
"Okay, I'll leave the things here to you. I'm going to meet someone and solve a small problem."

"Yes, sir." Shen Tu bowed, confusion flashing across his face - who is your lord going to see?
In the entire Jiuyou, who is worthy enough for My Lord to meet in person?

Even Zuzhulong is not worthy!

As if seeing the doubts in his heart, an indifferent voice was heard as the old man's figure faded and disappeared.

"When I returned to Jiuyou, Fellow Daoist Beidi also followed me in. If you continue to keep Fellow Daoist Beidi in Jiuyou, it would be troublesome if he took away your status as the Lord of Jiuyou."

Shen Tu was dumbfounded, looking at the wisp of yang energy left behind after the old man disappeared. His scalp was tingling and his hair stood on end.

"Northern Emperor??"

Shen Tu sat paralyzed on the ground, unable to speak for a long time, until a little ghost came to report that Niangniang Bao San's sedan chair was on the way to the palace. Only then did he come to his senses.

After casually killing the little ghost who came to report, Shen Tu solemnly held up the [Six Paths of Reincarnation] left by the adult in his hand and slowly combined it with his own body.

When the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared behind him.

"I am also the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds."

Shen Tu opened his eyes, his aura surged, and in an instant he became a [Great Master]!
………………

The City of the Dead, Long Street.

The hundred-mile-long street leading to the East Ghost Emperor's Palace is filled with an eerie aura, but the trees planted on both sides of the road are from the human world - locust trees.

The locust tree is a favorite attraction for ghosts because it leads to secluded places.

"Empress Bao San enters the imperial palace, and thousands of ghosts come to pay homage to her!"

The singing voices of the little ghosts echoed throughout this long street. Four ghosts carried a sedan chair and walked past one thousand-year-old locust tree after another.

Following on both sides of the sedan chair were the old judge in black robes, an old blind man with his eyes covered with black cloth, and an ordinary-looking servant.

The singing of the little ghost became louder and louder, and more and more ghosts came to watch the ceremony on both sides of the street.

"Empress Bao San Enters the Imperial Palace"

As the singing continued, the servant who was following the bridal sedan suddenly stopped.

On the side, the old blind man asked carefully:
"what happened?"

He followed Zhou Mu's gaze and saw a tea stall located in the corner of Ghost Street, with human skin as the sign and human bones as the tables and chairs.

The old man who was making tea was adding white brains into the tea barrel. There was only one customer at the tea stall, wearing a black robe - an old man, a human.

"I won't enter the palace." Zhou Mu said calmly, patting the old blind man on the shoulder:

"Will you go and take a look at the situation in the East Ghost Emperor's Palace for me?"

Zhong Kui quietly observed the scene and listened to the conversation between the two. He could not help but swallow his saliva - Sure enough! !

I used to act it out, but now I don’t even act anymore!
This young man was clearly giving orders to the old immortal!
Zhong Kui saw the old fortune teller nod respectfully, and saw the servant leave the sedan chair team and walk step by step towards a tea stall.

The sedan chair continued to move forward. Zhong Kui looked back several times and saw a servant sitting at a tea stall, face to face with an old man.

He wanted to peek again, but the sedan chair moved very quickly and after turning the corner, he could no longer see anything.

"Who is that person?"

Zhong Kui couldn't help but ask the old blind man.

The old blind man glanced at him:
"Big shot."

"How big is it?"

“Guess.” Zhong Kui was speechless.

At this moment, in the back, there is a tea stall.

Two bowls of hot tea were brought up, and the old ghost smiled and said:
"I see that both of you are from the Nine Netherworld race, so there is no brain flower in this tea. It is a pure tea."

The old man nodded to the evil boss, then turned his gaze to the young man across the table and said with a smile:

"Daoyou, I haven't seen you for many years. Your temper is much worse than before. As soon as we meet, you will use the Four Swords of Zhuxian to chop me."

The old man at the tea stall who was eavesdropping on the conversation blinked his eyes - what sword?

Zhou Mu picked up the teacup but did not drink the tea. He stared at the unknown old man:
"Your Excellency and I have never met before?"

The old man laughed:

"Why do you say that, Brother Beidi? We have never had any bad relations in the past. Even when Brother Beidi was sidelined in Fengdu City, it had nothing to do with me."

Zhou Mu was stunned for a moment. Did this person think he was the previous Northern Emperor? ?
wrong!

He lowered his eyelids to hide the turmoil in his heart. The human Daluo before him was the incarnation of [Hou Tu Niangniang], the incarnation of an almighty being!

How could there be any such thing as admitting a mistake?

Zhou Mu put down his teacup and raised his head. Without looking at the old man sitting on the ground with a confused look on his face, he said in a low voice:

"My friend, I don't understand what you mean."

"Why is Fellow Daoist Beidi still covering it up?"

The old man shook his head:

"At this moment and here, there is no fellow Taoist staring or watching, only you and me."

After a pause, he drank another sip of tea and said with a smile:
"I will become Shennong, and you will become Xuanyuan. This is a secret between you and me. Don't worry, we won't be discovered if we talk about it here."

Zhou Mu closed his eyes and understood.

It turns out to be [Shennong].

The Three Emperors of the human race are all incarnations. Xuanyuan is himself, and no one knows who Fuxi is. Shennong is right in front of us, and he is the incarnation of Hou Tu.

It makes sense.

Shennong is the Emperor of Earth, and Hou Tu is the Emperor of Earth. This should have been thought of earlier.

But why did the other party insist that he was the Northern Emperor?

The true identity of that chaotic being is the previous generation of Beiji Ziwei Emperor?
No, no, that doesn't make sense, it can't be like that.

Zhou Mu felt that it was a bit absurd, and felt that he seemed to have overlooked something, but no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't figure it out. For the time being, he had no clue.

He took a breath of fresh air:

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one. What should you do if your plan of thousands of years fails?"

Zhou Mu pretended to be calm and said:

"Fellow Daoist Shennong, or rather, fellow Daoist Hou Tu, why are you here to look for me?"

The old man who owned the tea stall, who had just gotten up, fell to the ground again and was about to cry.

Michelia sempervirens:

"Fellow Daoist Beidi knows exactly why I came here, so why do you have to play tricks on me?"

After a while, his expression became solemn and he spoke bluntly:

"I will let Jiuyou cross the Naihe Bridge and conquer the human world. I know that you have come to this world as the current leader of the human race, but I want to make a deal with you."

Zhou Mu did not answer, but said:

"Fellow Daoist Shennong, you and I both know that the protagonists of the Fourth Epoch can only be the demon race. This is a predetermined trend and is bound to happen."

He continued to answer the question of the person in front of him ambiguously, his eyes were extremely deep:

"As for what your deal is, fellow Daoist? Please tell me."

Shennong still smiles:

"To make a long story short, you came to the Netherworld, seemingly for the mysterious bird, but in fact, it was for my position as the ruler of the Netherworld, for the six reincarnations, right?"

After a while, he said quietly:

“I will not hide it from you, fellow Daoist. I have temporarily handed over the position of Lord of the Nine Netherworlds—the Six Paths of Reincarnation—to Shen Tu. I am also determined to obtain the position of Lord of the Mortal World.”

Zhou Mu blinked his eyes. So, the status of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds is placed on the Six Paths of Reincarnation?

At this moment, it is in Shen Tu’s hands?
He was slightly excited, but his expression did not change at all. He said calmly:
"go on."

Shennong was speechless for a moment, but he did not care about the rudeness of this fellow Taoist in front of him - after all, he was just an incarnation, not the real Hou Tu.
In terms of status, he is indeed much inferior to the Emperor of Beiji Ziwei.

After a moment's silence, Shennong spoke calmly:
"Fellow Daoist, help me ascend to the position of the Lord of the Mortal World, and I will help you become the Supreme One and take that ultimate step. How do you think?"

Zhou Mu narrowed his eyes:

"How can I trust you?"

Shennong laughed:

"Whether you believe it or not is up to you. Although I am only a Daluo, you are not the real Beidi, right? You are no match for me."

After a pause, he narrowed his eyes:
"Yes, if fellow Beidi agrees to the deal, in the Fourth Era, the mortal world and the underworld will belong to me, and the heavens will belong to you. I will help you become the new emperor of heaven and overlook the heavens and myriad worlds."

"And isn't this what you, Beidi, have always been pursuing?"

Zhou Mu pursed his lips, his mind turning over and over. The biggest problem at the moment was that he seemed to be the same person as the previous generation of Beidi.

Hou Tu would never admit her mistake.

But the previous Northern Emperor, the previous Northern Purple Star Emperor, were definitely not the true body of that chaotic being. This has been certified by the Supreme Senior!
perhaps
Zhou Mu's scalp felt slightly numb.

The previous Beiji Ziwei Emperor was also attacked, perished, and was transformed into the [next life]? ?
After thinking about it, it seems that this is the only possibility. After all, Hou Tu did not know the existence of the Chaos One, and if he and the previous Northern Emperor were both the reincarnations of the Chaos One, they had the same roots and origins, so it was normal for them to be mistaken for each other.

As his thoughts turned back and forth, Zhou Mu stared at Shennong:
"Fellow Daoist, are you so confident? I wield the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords and the Immortal-Slaying Gourd. If I use a sword formation to cover this city, can you really be my opponent?"

"Do I really have no chance to snatch the Six Paths of Reincarnation from Shen Tu?"

Shennong narrowed his eyes, was silent for a moment, and then laughed:

"Fellow Daoist Beidi, you may give it a try, but I might as well tell you that many great masters in the Nine Netherworld are on their way, including Zhen Yuanzi."

There was a strong threat in his words, but Zhou Mu didn't understand.

What happened to Zhen Yuanzi?
Have a good relationship with Hou Tu?
As his mind turned, Zhou Mu didn't understand what it meant, but he continued speaking:
"Great master. I still say the same thing. Fellow Daoist Shennong, if you want to trade with me and cooperate with me, I want to see your sincerity."

Then he stood up and said:

"Otherwise, I will leave immediately. I can't guarantee anything else, but I can assert that the Lord of the Mortal World will never be you."

Shennong's face turned a little ugly.

The two of them were stuck in a stalemate on the long street, in the tea stall. The old man at the tea stall was completely numb. He lay on the ground, staring at the sky in a daze.

For a long time.

"it is good."

Shennong nodded and said:
"How about I tell you the last step to becoming the Heavenly Emperor, which you have been searching for but never figured out?"

Zhou Mu sat down again and said quietly:

"All ears."

He picked up the teacup, his thoughts existing in the present moment, but also existing in the [Original Body] at the same time, rewriting the past.

Half an hour ago.

A certain celestial being walked across the Naihe Bridge and arrived at the Nine Netherworld.

Yuanshi Tianzun only existed in the past—but the second before now also belongs to the past.
