Chapter 32: The troubled times are coming, demons are dancing wildly

The soul of life actually manifested.

And... is that a demon?!
"What a huge demon cat!"

Cao Jie's soul trembled, and he looked at the void behind Wu Yong in surprise.

There, a big cat with a white face and a black body appeared out of nowhere, every detail of it was visible. It was stretching its limbs, stretching, and showing its sharp teeth.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Western Mountains, records: (Yinshan) the turbid water flows out and flows south to Fanze. There are many patterned shells in it, and there is a beast called Tiangou, which looks like a raccoon with a white head and makes a sound like a durian, which can ward off evil.

The translation is: There is an animal called Tiangou on the Yinshan Mountains. It looks like a raccoon, has a white head, and makes a sound like a cat. It can ward off evil.

The moment he saw the true appearance of Wu Yong's soul, these words popped up involuntarily in Cao Jie's mind.

"The professor's soul is a tengu?"

Cao Jie didn't expect that Tengu actually looked like a raccoon dog, and shouldn't this description be used to describe an exotic beast that represents auspiciousness?

Is Wu Yong's soul an auspicious beast that can ward off evil?
This is ridiculous no matter how you think about it.

In order to lure people to the mountain, every trick he used was cruel and vicious. Not only could they not ward off evil, but they also brought disaster to people.

This description is completely different from the Tengu that everyone is familiar with.

This really puzzled Cao Jie.

Before everyone could react, Ruan Xiaoqi blurted out in surprise: "Shouldn't a tengu be in the form of a dog?"

"Yes! The heavenly dog ​​eclipsed the sun, which is a very bad omen! Professor, how come your heavenly dog ​​is a big cat?" Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu walked around to take a closer look and burst into laughter.

Cao Jie never spoke without a clue. When he said it was a celestial dog, everyone believed him.

No one suspected anything.

The giant Heavenly Dog Xukong, as big as a calf, stood behind Wu Yong, making a cat-like sound and said:

"There are many rumors in the world that the eclipse of the sun by the heavenly dog ​​is a bad omen. Haven't you heard that the "Water Classic" records that there is a White Deer Plain to the west of Mount Li, and there is a Dog-Failure Fort on the plain. When Qin Xianggong was in power, a heavenly dog ​​came here. Whenever there were bandits at the foot of the mountain, the heavenly dog ​​would send a signal, which made the Dog-Failure Fort safe and sound.

The celestial dog is fickle, and when it encounters a saint, it becomes auspicious, when it encounters troubled times, it becomes a vicious beast, and when it encounters a flood, it becomes a lì.

After saying this, the raccoon-like Tengu opened its mouth, revealing its sharp canine teeth, showing its edge.

Wu Song frowned slightly and said, "I see that the soul of my military advisor brother is about to transform into a dog. It seems that this chaotic world is really coming."

"We brothers in Liangshanpo have all the skills, but we can only make ends meet. The precious fish we caught were all embezzled by the officials, and what we got was not enough to cover our daily expenses. This world has long been in chaos."

"The Erlang family suffered last year because the fish tax was too heavy, and it forced people to death."

"The government doesn't allow the people to survive. It's forcing us to rebel."

The Heavenly Dog spread out its four legs and paced in the air: "What the three Ruan brothers said is very true. During the reign of Emperor Zhezong, the Hehuang border was opened up and the territory was expanded by a thousand miles. There was still a sign of revival.

Since Emperor Zhao ascended the throne, Hehuang and Shaanxi have failed to employ their personnel effectively and have often fought useless battles. Hanzhong and Shuzhong have imposed even heavier taxes and levies, which the common people simply cannot afford.

The imperial court also launched the Flower and Stone Gang Campaign in the south of the Yangtze River, causing the people to suffer.

Shandong has fish and salt, but they are also being exploited severely, and sooner or later a great chaos will break out.

The six thieves in the court flatter the ruler, steal the power of the country, and harm the people... If the ruler is not wise, the civil officials love money, and the military generals cherish their lives, it would be strange if there is no chaos! "

As he spoke, Wu Yong's soul looked more and more like a dog, and his red eyes revealed endless murderous intent and evil spirit!

Except Cao Jie, everyone else among them is murderous.

The aura of the Tengu, which had not yet transformed into a ferocious beast, could not affect them at all.

Ruan Xiaoer clapped his hands and laughed, "Hehe, I can't live anymore, so I'll rebel against him. The professor is a heavenly dog ​​descended from the earth, and my soul, Ruan Xiaoer, is also extraordinary. It's time for me to rebel and make a scene."

After saying this, a stream of blood-colored true energy surged out from his dantian, passing through his meridians and acupoints, and moved as mighty as a demon emerging from a cave, raising a trail of red smoke.

Then, the surging red mist retracted and quickly condensed into a Dharmakaya with three heads and six arms on the surface of the body.

Tai Sui God, Yin Jiao!

A character in the mythological novel "Fengshen Yanyi", the eldest prince of the Shang Dynasty and the eldest son of King Zhou of Shang.

He became a disciple of Guangchengzi, an immortal of Chanism, and practiced Taoism in Taoyuan Cave of Jiuxian Mountain. After completing his training, he followed Guangchengzi's order to go down the mountain to assist King Wu of Zhou, Ji Fa, in defeating the Shang Dynasty. Before leaving, he ate immortal beans, which gave him the power of three heads and six arms, three eyes, and he was given many magical weapons by Guangchengzi to protect himself, including Fantian Seal, Luohun Bell, Male and Female Sword, and Fangtian Painted Halberd.

However, he met Shen Gongbao on the way, and after his instigation, he rebelled and turned against the Shang army. When he learned that his brother Yin Hong was killed, he decided to avenge his brother and joined the Shang army to attack the Zhou army.

He was later defeated by Jiang Ziya and the Taoist Master Ran Deng, and fulfilled his previous oath by being plowed to death.

Because his obsession was too deep, his soul appeared in a dream to King Zhou, and it was useless to persuade him to return to the right path. So he went to the Fengshen Platform and was named Tai Sui God.

Unfortunately, on Ruan Xiaoer's three-headed, six-armed Dharma body, the Fantian Seal, Luohun Bell, Male and Female Swords, Fangtian Painted Halberd and many other magic weapons were just a blurry and illusory shadow.

Cao Jie couldn't help but think of his barefoot doctor's medical box, which was also a magic weapon.

As long as Ruan Xiaoer's cultivation level improves, he may be able to condense a magic weapon.

Seeing Ruan Xiaoer using the power of nourishing qi, Ruan Xiaowu also laughed and said, "Our soul is Erlang Shen of the Heavenly Palace, the God of War. I also heard that there is a eunuch in Tokyo named Yang Jian, he is also worthy of being called Yang Jian."

The Yang Jian mentioned by Xiaowu is not the Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun. He has a third eye between his eyebrows, holds a three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand, and sits on the back of a divine dog named Xiaotian Dog. He is the god of war in heaven who is called Erlang Shen.

Yang Jian was a high-ranking eunuch during the reign of Emperor Huizong. He was the one who squeezed the people's wealth and became extremely powerful.

The murderous aura that Ruan Xiaowu exuded was not weak at all, and there was even black air mixed in with the red color, instantly condensing into the form of Erlang Shen.

I saw this god was handsome and elegant in yellow clothes, with divine eyes in his forehead, holding a three-pointed, double-edged sword, looking majestic and murderous!
"My second and fifth brothers are responsible for killing people, and I, the Living Yama, will be responsible for seducing people's souls and sending those corrupt officials to hell, where they will never be reincarnated."

A dark light flashed across Ruan Xiaoqi's body, like billowing thick smoke that could cover the sky and the sun, and reverse the yin and yang.

His soul was indeed Yama: he wore a square crown, had a leopard-like head with round eyes, and his hair was standing on end with anger. He was dressed in a blue robe and a brown gauze on his shoulders. He held a scroll in his left hand and a pen in his right hand.

What is that volume? It is the Book of Life and Death.

What is that pen? It is the soul-sucking pen.

As soon as the three Ruan brothers revealed their souls, an aura like a flood or a beast fiercely enveloped the area of ​​more than ten feet in radius.

Cao Jie swallowed hard. After such a long period of training, his soul's strongest form was that of a [Gang Leader]. How could he compete with this group of killers?

Xiao Jinlian and Yan Poxi in the backyard felt their legs go weak and they fell to the ground, almost getting their underwear wet.

"My brothers have revealed their true souls, but my soul is very ordinary, just a Buddhist practitioner."

After saying this, blood surged on Wu Song's body, revealing the image of a skinny ascetic monk. However, the murderous aura and murderous intent in him were no less than those of the three Ruan brothers, and even more so.

"Wu Erlang, you are a monk and a Buddhist, why do you have such murderous aura?"

"Even more vicious than me, the Tai Sui God..."

Wu Song laughed happily: "Maybe in my previous life, I couldn't save the people by eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures. In this life, I must stop killing by killing. If I kill all the villains in the world, the world will probably be peaceful."

"Makes sense!"

"Those corrupt officials deserve to be killed by us."

Several brothers revealed their souls, and demons were dancing wildly. It would be bad for Cao Jie not to reveal his soul, but he didn't have a fertile spirit, and he didn't know how to cultivate Qi, so he really didn't know how to manifest his soul!
Moreover, the Gang Leader's legs were so weak that he couldn't muster any strength, which was really embarrassing for his soul.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Wu Song bowed down and said, "Brother, leave the official affairs of Yuncheng to Wu Song. When the day comes, I will help you to fight for a bright future..."

Cao Jie helped Wu Song up with his hands trembling slightly. His teeth seemed to be about to chatter. He clenched his teeth and said, "My cultivation is not enough, and my soul cannot be manifested. But today I have a poem that can match the heroic spirit of my brothers. Please listen to my recitation!"

"A man should be violent."

"Business and benevolence cannot coexist."

"A man should kill people without mercy."

"Eternal karma is all in killing people."

"..."

"Killing one is a sin, but killing ten thousand is a hero."

"If you can kill nine million people, you will be the best among the best."

"..."
