Slaying God: I, the insane and witty god

Wu Hen and Lin Qiye plunged into the abandoned Taoist temple, and were greeted by a rotten smell that could make people faint.

It has a strange smell mixed with something unknown, and it is even more sour than the old-style pickled cabbage instant noodles.

The cold wind blew around, making Wu Hen shiver. He rubbed his arms and complained, "This place is colder than my ex-girlfriend's heart!"

Lin Qiye ignored Wu Hen's chatter and looked around vigilantly.

The Taoist temple was in a dilapidated state, with mottled marks all over the walls and a large part of the roof collapsed.

Moonlight poured through the hole, casting strange shadows on the ground.

As soon as they stepped into the Taoist temple, a cold aura swept over them.

Suddenly, a low "woooo" sound was heard in the originally quiet air, as if countless ghosts were crying.

The evil soul of Taoist Li, hidden deep in the Taoist temple, sensed the breath of a living person.

With a sharp howl, the guardian spirits in the Taoist temple seemed to have received an order and became agitated, emitting bursts of roars.

"Oh my god, this welcome ceremony is too enthusiastic!"

Wu Hen let out a strange cry and quickly hid behind Lin Qiye, sticking his head out and observing the movements around him with a sly look.

"Brother Qiye, can you handle this?"

Lin Qiye sighed helplessly, drew out his sword, and a faint golden light appeared on the sword.

The guardian spirits let out shrill cries and pounced on us with their fangs and claws bared.

Lin Qiye brandished his sword, the sword light was like a rainbow, and he killed the approaching guardian spirits one by one.

"Hey, Brother Qiye, don't be so violent! Look how abstract and artistic they look!"

While Wu Hen was making sarcastic remarks, he took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and started to crack them with a "crunch, crunch" sound.

At this moment, a guardian spirit bypassed Lin Qiye and rushed straight towards Wu Hen.

Just as he was about to be caught, Wu Hen suddenly took out a small mirror from his arms and waved it at the guardian spirit.

"What are you looking at? What's wrong with me looking at you?" Wu Hen said while winking at the mirror.

The guardian spirit seemed to be frightened by the scene in the mirror.

He froze in place, then let out a scream and disappeared in a wisp of smoke.

Lin Qiye: “…”

Wu Hen whistled proudly: "How is it? Brother's 'beauty trap' is very powerful, isn't it?"

After clearing out the monsters, Wu Hen and Lin Qiye continued to walk deeper into the Taoist temple.

Suddenly, Wu Hen stopped and pointed at some runes on the wall and said, "Huh? I seem to have seen these runes somewhere before..."

Wu Hen stroked his chin, staring at the runes on the wall, muttering to himself, "Why does this thing look so familiar? It seems... it seems... ah! I remember it!"

He slapped his thigh. "Isn't this the rune I saw last time in that godforsaken village... that... thing... that prevents children from graffiti?!"

Lin Qiye was busy fighting a group of ferocious guardian spirits for three hundred rounds.

Hearing Wu Hen's earth-shattering and soul-stirring remarks, he almost vomited blood.

He swung his sword to block and asked through gritted teeth, "Protect...protect against children?! Are you sure?!"

"Of course I am sure!"

Wu Hen answered seriously, "How could I lie to you? Look at the direction of this rune, this strange shape, it's exactly the same as the one in that village!"

"But, this place seems to have been... upgraded?"

As he spoke, Wu Hen began to imitate the method of breaking runes in the village.

His fingers slid quickly across the runes on the wall, humming a little tune.

As his fingers moved, the runes that were originally flashing with strange light actually began to gradually dim.

"Holy crap! It really works?!" Wu Hen himself couldn't believe it.

As the runes were cracked one after another, the guardian spirits' attacks began to show loopholes, their movements became sluggish, and their power was significantly weakened.

Lin Qiye seized the opportunity, and with a flash of sword light, he chopped several guardian spirits into pieces.

"Brother Qiye, come on! I'll break it soon!" Wu Hen shouted excitedly, his fingers dancing faster.

Finally, the last rune dimmed.

At this moment, an angry roar came from the depths of the Taoist temple, followed by a powerful wave of power sweeping over.

"not good!"

Lin Qiye's expression changed, "This is... the soul power of Taoist Li!"

Wu Hen was not at all flustered. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and took out a...

lollipop?

"Hehe, the real show... has just begun." He put the lollipop into his mouth and said incoherently.

Wu Hen licked the lollipop, smiled evilly, and completely ignored the approaching powerful soul power.

He casually picked up the worn-out cushion beside him and a few sticks of incense that he didn't know who had offered them to.

He moved it on the ground smoothly.

Lin Qiye was completely confused: "What are you...doing? Performing a ritual?"

"Performing a ritual? Please, I'm a God Slayer, not a charlatan!"

Wu Hen curled his lips, "I'm setting up a formation! This is the long-lost 'Old-style Pickled Cabbage Beef Noodles' formation, specially designed to cure all kinds of disobedience!"

Formation?

Lin Qiye looked at the messy cushions and incense on the ground. It looked like a naughty child playing house.

However, as Wu Hen muttered some inexplicable spells—actually, Wu Hen was singing “Tentative”—

The cushions and incense actually began to emit a faint light and moved on their own, forming a strange pattern.

As soon as those originally aggressive guardian spirits came into contact with the edge of the formation,

They screamed as if they were scalded and retreated one after another.

They seemed to be filled with fear of this "Old Style Pickled Cabbage Beef Noodles" formation.

"Hey, are you scared now? Do you know how powerful I am?"

Wu Hen shook his head proudly, and added, "This formation is inherited from our ancestors, it's fair to all!"

Although Lin Qiye was still full of questions, he still cooperated and seized the opportunity.

The sword flashed, slaying the guardian spirits trapped in the formation one by one.

Wu Hen kept adjusting the formation while humming a little tune.

Every now and then he would say, "Hey, you over there, don't push! Line up, one by one!"

The guardian spirits rushed left and right in the formation, but were unable to break through the constraints of the formation. Instead, they were fooled around by Wu Hen.

Lin Qiye was stunned. This was not a formation at all, it was clearly a farce!

With the last guardian spirit eliminated, peace returned to the Taoist temple.

Wu Hen clapped his hands and said with a relaxed look, "Done! Call it a day!"

He walked deep into the Taoist temple and found a secret compartment behind a dilapidated incense burner.

He reached in and pulled out a...

Washboard?

"What is this thing..." Wu Hen held the washboard, looking confused.

Lin Qiye also came over, looked at the washboard in Wu Hen's hand, and asked in confusion: "What is this? Could it be..."

Wu Hen's expression suddenly changed, and he threw the washboard out: "Fuck! Could this thing be..."

Wu Hen threw the washboard out fiercely: "Holy shit! Could this thing be the legendary artifact - the world-destroying washboard?!"

The washboard spun a few times in the air and fell to the ground with a "bang", surprisingly without any damage.

It lay there quietly, emitting a faint golden light, and seemed to be engraved with some strange runes.

Lin Qiye picked up the washboard, examined it carefully, and said in confusion, "A world-destroying washboard? I've never heard of it... However, the runes on it are somewhat similar to those in the Taoist temple."

Wu Hen came over, touched his chin and said, "Could it be that... this washboard is actually the key to controlling those guardian spirits?"

"Or... is it the key to seal Taoist Li's soul?"

As he spoke, he picked up a washboard and gestured at the air a few times, muttering to himself, "Washboard, washboard, please show yourself! Tell me, what is your function?"

The washboard still didn't respond.

Wu Hen did not give up, so he changed his posture and sang "Tentative" facing the washboard.

Lin Qiye couldn't bear it any longer and grabbed the washboard.

Said: "Stop messing around! Even if this thing is some kind of magical weapon, we still have to figure out how to use it."

He carefully observed the runes on the washboard and suddenly found that one of the runes seemed to be loose.

He pressed lightly, and the rune actually sank!

With a "click", a crack appeared in the middle of the washboard, revealing a hidden button.

Lin Qiye pressed it without hesitation.

"Om-"

The washboard suddenly vibrated violently, emitting a dazzling light.

Wu Hen and Lin Qiye quickly covered their eyes.

When the light faded, they found that the washboard had returned to calm, but the air around them had become different.

A powerful wave of power came from the washboard, making them feel a palpitation.

"This...what kind of power is this?" Wu Hen exclaimed.

Lin Qiye gripped the washboard tightly, feeling the powerful force.

A glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes: "Maybe... we really have found the key to dealing with Taoist Li!"

He turned to look at Wu Hen and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, let's go to the underground cave!"

Wu Hen was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

He rubbed his hands excitedly: "Hehe, just what I want! I can't wait to see how powerful this washboard is!"

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of anticipation and excitement.

They turned and walked towards the back door of the Taoist temple, which led to a mysterious and dangerous underground cave...

Wu Hen suddenly stopped and looked back at the dilapidated Taoist temple.

He said meaningfully: "I wonder if this Taoist temple used to be a laundry room..."
