In order to have a hot dinner, Yan Feng also lurked aside early and even prepared special fire charms for barbecue.
Yan Feng was shocked when he saw the wild boar being snatched away from his mouth.
He has seen a lot of monsters, including greedy and lustful ones, ferocious and violent ones, all kinds of strange things.
But this was the first time he had seen a monster that dared to grab food from Zhang Xiu!
Is this monster the uncle of Tathagata Buddha or a relative of Supreme Laojun?
In his impression, all the monsters that had offended Zhang Xiu were now in good condition before their tombs...
In Yan Feng's shocked eyes, the white cloth that had just swept the wild boar into the water emerged from the water. The white cloth was piled up layer by layer by the river, like scattered cloth, tempting greedy people to pick it up.
Zhang Xiu walked out of the grass like a passerby and came to the edge of the river. When he saw the white cloth on the ground, he immediately let out a sigh.
Then, he looked around furtively, reached out and grabbed the white cloth scattered on the ground, and quickly wrapped it around his arm.
At the bottom of the river, a monster wrapped in white cloth shuddered, with a smile of success on its lips.
People have always been fishing on the shore, but he did the opposite and took advantage of human greed to fish for people in the river!
He has tried this trick repeatedly, and over the past few years, he has caught a lot of prey.
Seeing the prey take the bait, the monster at the bottom of the river pulled hard, and the white cloth quickly shrank into the river!
This time the prey looks very powerful, it should be a fat... stone?
The monster looked at the huge boulder falling from the top of his head, and couldn't help but be slightly startled. He quickly dodged and was staggered by the water wave caused by the boulder.
"How come it's stuck on the stone?"
The monster muttered with a depressed look on his face, cursed his bad luck in his heart, and then placed the white cloth on the shore again, waiting for the next prey to take the bait.
Not long after, the white cloth was shaken again.
The monster was overjoyed and pulled the white cloth back with all his strength. Then he saw that the white cloth was wrapped around a man in imperial clothes, slowly falling down with a look of despair on his face, while staring at him with resentful eyes.
Monster: "@#¥%¥#@......"
Emperor Zhongyue! !
Behind Emperor Zhongyue, a small white dragon also fell into the water, exuding a strong dragon aura...
Immediately afterwards, another child was wrapped in a white cloth and fell into the water from the shore. Unlike Emperor Zhongyue, his cute face was full of novelty.
The child is cute and the meat is delicious. The only drawback is that the child has three heads and six arms?
Nezha! !
The monster stared blankly at the "prey" he had caught, without any joy of harvest in his heart. Now he felt that even if he caught the Jade Emperor next, there would be nothing surprising...
Until his death, he could not figure out what virtue and ability he had that could actually attract three gods to come down to earth and come here to encircle and suppress him...
Looking at the monster's original shape on the ground, Zhang Xiu discovered that it turned out to be a big carp.
Zhang Xiu simply disposed of it, set up firewood and grilled it, while saying: "Emperor Zhongyue, apart from you, is there no god in charge around here?"
"Looking at how proficient this carp spirit is, it must have killed a lot of people."
Emperor Zhongyue frowned slightly: "That shouldn't be the case. Carp spirits harm people's lives. The ghosts of these people who died unexpectedly are still lingering. The nearby city god should know about it. Why didn't he deal with this matter?"
Zhang Xiudao: "Why don't you call the Land Master to ask?"
Emperor Zhongyue nodded, made a hand gesture, and then with a flash of white light, the local land master appeared.
This land lord was a thin old man with a white beard. As soon as he popped his head up, he immediately saluted Emperor Zhongyue: "I wonder what the emperor does by calling this old man?"
Emperor Zhongyue said: "Tiandi, do you know what the local city god has been doing recently? There is a carp spirit causing trouble in the river. Does he have anything to do with it?"
The Tutu Master glanced at the huge carp carcass on the ground and replied: "Reporting to the emperor, this carp spirit should have come to our place recently. It is also the first time for me to see it.
Early this morning, the City God received an order from Emperor Dongyue and went to Mount Tai to hold the City God Meeting. He was afraid that he didn't know about it either. "
Zhang Xiu interrupted: "What kind of City God Meeting? I am also a City God. Why didn't I receive the message?"
The Earth Master looked at Zhang Xiu in surprise and said, "Emperor Dongyue has issued an order that the city gods from the thirty-six official offices and the seventy-two underworld departments are going to Mount Tai to attend the meeting. How come you didn't receive the news?"
Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up and he looked at Emperor Zhongyue: "Is the Yin Division under the control of Emperor Dongyue?"
Emperor Zhongyue explained to him while eating grilled fish: "Emperor Dongyue controls the period of life and death of mortals. The reign of ghosts and the underworld are indeed under his control."
"Among the five of us, he has the highest cultivation level and is responsible for suppressing the head of the demon."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiu let out an unknown laugh: "Hey, after fifty years of searching, I finally found the rightful owner!"
Emperor Zhongyue was slightly startled: "You have enmity with Emperor Dongyue?"
Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "It's not a grudge, it's just the salary you owe me for fifty years."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhongyue suddenly fell into silence: "..."
In the past few days, I have to find out who the best carpenter in the area is. Based on his friendship with Emperor Dongyue, no matter what, I have to build him a good coffin and take it with him.
Early the next morning, Zhang Xiu and his party arrived at the foot of Mount Tai.
There was a lot of fog at the foot of the mountain, blocking the way for the people at the foot of the mountain to go up the mountain. But above the fog, it was extremely lively.
On the mountain road, people with strange descriptions can be seen everywhere. Some of them look just like ordinary people. Only by turning around can you see blood flowing from seven holes on his face. Some people are floating in the air with their feet not touching the ground.
With a kind smile on her face, Zhang Xiu enthusiastically stepped forward to greet these colleagues and exchange pleasantries.
After a while, the smile on Zhang Xiu's face became stronger and stronger, and he looked around and returned to Nezha and the others.
Seeing Zhang Xiu's almost black smile, Nezha felt a chill in his back. He rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and asked, "What are you looking for?"
Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "Nothing, just to see which tree on the mountain is more beautiful for hanging people. I just asked these people one by one. It turns out that I am the only one in the thirty-six official offices and the seventy-two underworlds. People are owed their salary!"
Yan Feng couldn't help but complain: "Among these city gods, you are the only human being."
Zhang Xiu said angrily: "Is this the point? The point is that Emperor Dongyue is targeting me!"
Nezha stared at the angry Zhang Xiu with his big innocent eyes, then raised his head and glanced at the top of the mountain, his eyes gradually becoming brighter.
It seems that today’s City God’s Meeting should be very lively!
