When setting off from Qingzhou, Chu Chen thought that his trip to the imperial capital would not have any twists and turns.
It was nothing more than where he would be transferred after watching the enthronement ceremony. Even if he fails to recover, it is not a big deal.
After all, he has the internal refining generals [Marshal Guan] and [Tao Tianjun] working for him to practice his martial arts, so he is not in a hurry to take up any post in the Immortal Court.
But what people never expected was that the always peaceful place was showing signs of disaster.
All the little devils knew that the matter was serious, so Chu Chen naturally did not dare to take it lightly. Immediately, the power of his soul was unleashed, and the magic power in his body rolled. He stretched out his hand to explore, and the energy turned into a giant palm, and the thin "bloody residual cloud" invisible to the naked eye in the sea of clouds was "Wrap them all up and take them in the palm of your hand.
"Blood cloud" is not a concrete thing, but the true meaning of disaster, which can only be seen and restrained by powerful spiritual consciousness.
After some casting, Chu Chen finally collected the "blood cloud" and condensed it into ten scarlet blood beads covered with bloodshot eyes.
Song Jian couldn't see it with his spiritual consciousness just now, but now he saw it and said quickly:
"No matter what, this is what we encountered." "Hmm~
Chu Chen nodded slightly and was about to put it into the elixir bottle and seal it. The little kid beside him was eager to give it a try:
"Brother, give me one to taste."
Song Jian remembered the scene where the people on the same boat sucked blood and turned into monsters. He was shocked and said quickly:
"No, this is a source of disaster, don't eat it!
The kid knew Song Jian, he laughed and said:
"Senior Brother Song, you should treat each other with admiration after three days of separation. I am no longer the little kid I used to be. I am Grandpa Calamity!"
The little devil had his hands on his hips, looking very arrogant.
When Chu Chen saw this, he pondered for a moment, and finally chose to believe in the little ghost. He wrapped a scarlet blood bead in Gangqi and handed it to the little ghost.
As a fairy boy, he always does things without thinking and relies entirely on intuition.
However, their first intuition often reveals the secrets of the universe and sees the root cause through illusions.
The little devil felt that there was no danger. Apparently, his magical power of [Mediating Disasters] was unique in this aspect.
"Bliss!"
The little ghost boy didn't just say it casually. He opened his small mouth, divided five into two, and swallowed a scarlet blood bead into his belly.
For a moment, Chu Chen and Song Jian looked at the little kid, quite nervous.
"Little devil, how are you?" "Hiccup~"
The little kid burped and smiled sheepishly: "Brother, I ate too fast and didn't taste anything..."
Chu Chen, Hu Dali, and Song Jian: "..."
Just when the two of them were about to say something, the smile on the little kid's face faded, and he immediately fell asleep on his side. He fell into a deep sleep, with mana surging, as if he was refining blood beads with his martial arts.
When the two saw this, they didn't dare to delay and waited silently for the little devil to refine.
After about half a stick of incense.
The little kid woke up suddenly, vomited out "blood beads" and kept saying "bah bah bah", as if he had swallowed dirty things, and he was very disgusted.
Chu Chen remained calm: "Little devil, are you okay?"
The little kid had a gloomy look on his face, but he was in good spirits: "Senior brother, I mediate disasters. Disasters don't happen to me, and they can't hurt me."
Chu Chen nodded slightly:
"Little devil, maybe you can tell whether this blood cloud is an accidental disaster or a man-made disaster deliberately planned by someone?"
"It's a man-made disaster!"
The little devil's tone was quite determined, and he continued: "Brother, someone manipulated the Qi of Disaster and used the power of the evil Qi tide and natural disasters to use great magical powers to create [Blood Cloud and Blood Rain]. There is a demon inside, and he has been chasing me for a long time. Okay. They are too weak."
Chu Chen frowned slightly, feeling bad.
If the blood cloud was man-made, then the matter would be even more serious.
Moreover, the blood cloud that Song Jian encountered was not an isolated case, and it was very likely that it would also occur in other places.
Immediately, Chu Chen looked up at the sky without looking back and asked, "Little devil, what did you see?"
The little kid raised his head and didn't think much about it.
:
"Senior brother, I can vaguely see the faint energy of disaster everywhere in the world. The area is very large. I estimate that most of the Central Province is included in it."
Chu Chen was silent.
Even Song Jian, who had a zombie face and rarely expressed any expression, frowned deeply.
They thought it was just an accidental case of evil spirits causing trouble, which might threaten the Blood Rain precipitation area, but they never expected that the matter was more serious than they imagined.
If a big demon deliberately stirs up trouble, the turmoil it would cause would be terrifying.
"No matter what, why don't you go see how the people nearby are doing?"
At this time, Song Jian continued to call him "Du Guan", just like when he was dealing with the affairs of demons and gods in Yunlin County, he was the only one who followed his lead.
"good!"
Chu Chen nodded and accepted it. Before reporting the matter to Xianting, he had to investigate in advance.
As a result, the two of them disguised themselves as wandering Taoists and rushed to several nearby villages to drive away evil spirits and eliminate disasters.
...
Half an hour later.
Chu Chen and Song Jian left the last village with serious expressions.
They entered the village under the pretext of "removing disasters and praying for blessings", but they didn't
It's purely an excuse. They really want to try to see if they can eliminate disasters for the people and nip the danger in the cradle. Sadly, however, it backfired.
The two specially called in the villagers who had been exposed to rain today for a detailed inspection.
Neither Song Jian nor Chu Chen, who had entered the realm of great supernatural powers and had strong spiritual consciousness, could see the "power of blood mist" in the villagers in the rain, let alone use any means to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate disasters.
The little guy was extremely determined.
All the villagers who have been exposed to the rain have the same energy of disaster, but it has not yet erupted. Once it does, it will be different.
After learning about this situation, Chu Chen did not dare to underestimate it, and used all the magical powers such as [Golden Light Divine Spell] and [Three Light Divine Talisman] to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate disasters.
However, everything failed to work and returned in vain.
"Don't worry, although the bodies of the villagers who have been exposed to the rain are no different, their spirits are much worse than those of ordinary villagers. There must be quite a lot of hidden dangers, or even..."
Song Jian didn't say everything, but Chu Chen and Hu Dali, who were present, understood in their hearts.
Needless to say, the little ghost boy "Tiekou" approved it, and the people who got caught in the rain died miserably, and the subsequent luck will definitely be bad.
Perhaps, those disaster-ridden villagers in the rain will be like the people on Song Jian's flying boat, turned into ferocious monsters that cannot distinguish between friends and foes, and are bloodthirsty and cruel.
At that time, it will be a demonic disaster, but it just hasn't exploded yet.
Several people in a village turned into monsters. If the land god was negligent and took a nap, all the people who used to worship him might have been wiped out.
"Pindao will report this matter to Immortal Court immediately. There is no need to worry about it. Immortal Court experts will take action later."
Song Jian and Hu Dali nodded slightly and took a step back, as if they were protecting Chu Chen.
After some investigation, Chu Chen had an idea of the seriousness of the matter. He immediately took out the [Kyushu Supervision Order] from the Immortal Palace of the Bracelet, lit incense, and planned to report the matter to the Immortal Court.
Of course, this matter was of great importance. This time he did not contact the local state and county ghosts and gods department, but directly reported it to Mr. Ming Jing.
Mr. Ming Jing himself is also a monk with great supernatural powers, and he can easily deal with various affairs of the Celestial Dynasty and the Immortal Court while being distracted. With Chu Chen's current Taoism and rank, he can reach Heaven at any time.
However, perhaps the enthronement ceremony was coming soon, and Mr. Ming Jing was preparing to take over the sacred weapon of the country. He was unable to be distracted, and even after being contacted for a long time, there was no response.
"Forget it, I can't contact Mr. Ming Jing, then contact Senior Yulou!"
Chu Chen didn't know many important people in the imperial capital, only two, one was Mr. Mingjing and the other was Master Yulou.
Both of them are at the top of the Celestial Court, and no matter who they report to, they are the same.
Not long after.
In the small cloud of incense, the real person of Jade Tower with immortal style is hanging in the air
Sitting on the cloud bed, smiling, he said:
"Ling Xiao, you didn't come to see me when you came to Zhongzhou, but did you meet someone outside?"
As he spoke, Master Yulou looked at Chu Chen with admiration in his eyes. He was very optimistic about Chu Chen from the beginning, thinking that he would have great potential in the future and would make great achievements in the path of alchemy and immortality, so he gave him cultivation and high hopes.
However, he did not expect that Chu Chen would grow so fast.
In just a few years, he has become a monk with great supernatural powers, almost catching up with his apprentice.
Chong Louhao also said that after all, he has a strong cultivation base and it will not be easy to catch up, but his young apprentice Han Chen may be caught up by Chu Chen soon.
His talent is so high that even Master Yulou who has seen the big world is amazed.
Chu Chen shook his head and said seriously: "Senior Yulou, something big has happened."
Hearing this, Master Yulou looked strange, looked Chu Chen up and down, and said:
"Ling Xiao, you didn't kill another dragon, did you? Will this be the crown prince of the East China Sea Dragon Palace or the prince of the West Sea Dragon Palace?"
Chu Chen was speechless and immediately told the story of his encounter with Song Jian when he was on the road in Zhongzhou. When Master Yulou heard that it was a demon causing trouble, he suddenly realized and said:
"It turns out that this is what you are talking about. I have heard about it recently. Several counties and counties have reported it to the Ghost and God Department. It is just a demon causing trouble. This matter is inevitable in every enthronement ceremony. There is no need to worry about it."
Seeing that Master Yulou didn't pay attention to it, Chu Chen quickly said:
"Senior Yulou, this matter is not trivial. According to the fairy boy who reported to me, the blood cloud is not only a threat to the monks, but will also turn into rain and fall down to attack ordinary people, causing them to be plagued by disasters. It may even turn ordinary people into Monster."
Originally, Master Yulou was still a little careless.
There were several cases in various places in Zhongzhou where blood clouds polluted monks and caused people to become possessed. However, they did not attract much attention. After all, the influence was limited. Immortal Court took action in time. Those monks who were infected by blood clouds and blood mist could not cause them to become possessed. What harm.
However, when he heard that the "blood cloud" would turn into blood rain and infect the people, Master Yulou frowned:
"Ling Xiao, I have seen it with several Taoist friends. The power of the blood mist is the true intention of the inner demon. It is a threat to those who practice, but not to ordinary people. I wonder where your statement comes from?"
Chu Chen also knew about this.
I heard from Song Jian that all the monks on the flying boat were affected by the blood mist, except for a few mortal boys.
To a certain extent, Master Yulou and other immortal court masters have sharp eyesight and know more about the "power of blood mist" than he does.
However, he has full trust in the little ghost boy. Over the years, the little ghost boy has basically never failed to deal with the "bad omen".
"Senior Yulou, my family heard from the fairy boy that the demon who created the power of blood mist can control the power of disaster and use the natural disaster [Evil Energy Tide] to trigger disasters."
Chu Chen only said half a sentence and did not specify anything.
However, Master Yulou on the cloud bed turned pale with astonishment and lost his calmness just now.
After exclaiming.
Master Yulou realized something, looked hurriedly, and made calculations continuously.
Twenty breaths later.
"You have heard that the fairy boy has good eyesight, but you were careless. The other party actually used the natural disaster [Evil Energy Tide] and cooperated with it skillfully to cause disaster."
Master Yulou's face became very ugly. After some deductions, he was now sure that what Chu Chen said was probably true.
The common people who have suffered from the blood rain are unlikely to have any accidents for a while, but once the tide of evil Qi breaks out, the evil evil Qi and the turbid Qi enter the body, and the internal demons connect with the external demons, the real disaster breaks out.
At that time, the entire Zhongzhou will fall into chaos, and the best place in the world will be gone.
Chu Chen was not surprised that Master Yulou could roughly understand the details of the matter in just a moment.
His old man's Taoism is close to that of an immortal. Before, he was just a secret demon. Master Yulou and other immortal leaders were not aware of it for a while. Once they knew the clues, they could naturally figure out many things.
Come.
"Senior Yulou, I went to a nearby village to drive away evil spirits and eliminate disasters, but unfortunately I couldn't drive away the power of the blood mist in the bodies of the people who were exposed to the rain. I wonder if there are any medical experts in the fairy court..."
"Well~ Xianting will arrange someone later, so you don't need to worry."
Master Yulou nodded slightly, then his eyes fell on Chu Chen, and he said with lingering fear:
"Ling Xiao, fortunately you discovered it early, otherwise the whole country might be shaken!"
Chu Chen was startled:
"Senior Yulou, you are serious."
Master Yulou shook his head: "I am not exaggerating. It is the prelude to the enthronement ceremony. If a great demon disaster breaks out in Zhongzhou and the demons dance wildly, things will be terrible. How will Emperor Lingwei explain to the heaven in the upper world? How did the previous comrades perform their merits? Become a god?"
Master Yulou asked two questions in succession, but he was not asking Chu Chen, but asking himself.
Chu Chen was not a stupid person. When he heard Master Yulou's words, he vaguely guessed the deep meaning behind them.
The reason why the transfer of power in the Dachang Dynasty was stable and orderly was fundamentally due to the difference in "pursuit". Whether it was Emperor Lingwei or the big shots sitting in high positions in the court or the Immortal Court, what they pursued was not short-term secular power, but Live forever and be free.
To this end, they worked hard and worked hard together for more than forty-nine years. They finally waited until the last year and fell short in the final stage. No one could bear it.
Master Yulou saw that Chu Chen was vaguely enlightened, sighed, and said through his spiritual consciousness:
"It is said that if the next heavenly court can withstand the [Evil Tide] natural disaster, the heavenly court in the upper realm will give special rewards..."
Chu Chen was startled. Master Yulou said half of what he said, but he understood what he was saying.
If it is simply that the reward from the heavenly court in the next upper realm will be greater,
There will be no problem, but now something is happening in Zhongzhou. Emperor Lingwei and a group of "old guys" have ascended to the earth and become gods, shrunk or even disappeared. Can they be willing to accept the fact?
Perhaps, there are many seniors who are immortal and have cultivated extensive virtues. They have a general understanding of people and high personal awareness, and can accept the facts willingly.
But what if it is a huge interest group?
At that time, will there be a dangerous situation in which one mountain and two tigers fight, and the mountains and rivers tremble?
