Chapter 504: Killing the Incense God
An uninvited guest came to Jihua River today. In the dead of night, when everything was quiet, two figures threw a long sword from the lakeside.
The river is so vast, and the sword is so small.
However, since the sword entered the river, the water has been boiling, as if it can't contain it. Not long after, the sword was pushed out from the bottom of the river, and when it left the river, it brought up a wave more than ten meters high.
The long sword fell to the ground, half of it inserted into the ground. The waves just now turned into raindrops, instantly soaking the surroundings. Li Changxiao raised his hand and stopped all the rain for the woman behind him.
Let the new clothes he just bought today, which almost emptied his wallet, not suffer this "unprovoked disaster". When the rain stopped and everything returned to calm, a rustling sound was heard deep in the woods beside the river.
A woman was hiding behind a tree, looking coldly in this direction. Li Changxiao pulled out the long sword that was half-inserted into the ground, and looked into the woman's eyes.
Plain and simple.
But murder is lurking.
Now that the hidden consequences of the dream have been triggered, he has nothing to worry about. The situation in Dayu Country is complicated. If he wants to know the truth, besides investigating carefully, he can also use the sword to ask.
When he first entered Fuyu City that day... it was this water god who was monitoring him. But the water god is also a cultivator, and is essentially a human being. Since he is a human being, he naturally would not live in the water. Li Changxiao threw his sword to ask for directions, and the long sword was piercing. If the other party did not want someone to bully him, he would naturally take action, and being exposed like this was inevitable.
Searching for mountain and water gods is much easier than searching for other cultivators.
Because the temple is in the mountains and the water, the roots are there, and it is not easy to move. The gods of mountains and waters rely on mountains and waters, rely on incense, enjoy a longer life, and obtain the magic of incense. However, from another perspective, isn’t this also a layer of bondage?
Especially the small gods among the mountains and rivers, who have been trapped in this world since the establishment of their temples.
At this moment, the two looked at each other. The Flower River Water God, dressed in revealing and enchanting clothes, walked out slowly. His face was calm but there was a hint of surprise. He never thought that what he suspected that day was actually true.
This swordsman is not only handsome. His background is probably not simple either. Could he really be the one who threw the gourd? The water god of the Flower River thought to himself that those who came here at night were probably not kind, and those who were kind would not come.
The God of the West went east, and the land of Gushan was not here, which really posed a problem for her. She didn't know how to solve it for a while.
Although he didn't know how to deal with it, the Jihua River Water God didn't want to take action in his heart, so he tried to ask questions to ease the atmosphere. Even though he suspected that Li Changxiao was the one who threw the gourd, he didn't show any strange expression on his face. He first stabilized this person and then made subsequent plans.
The unkind visitor was actually tricked. After putting away his sword, he sat down and started chatting with her, mostly in the form of questions and answers.
They chatted idly for more than ten sentences. Li Changxiao interrupted the topic and said that he wanted to kill the water god of the Hua River.
The Water God was stunned and became furious. If someone refuses to accept her toast, she will be punished. This really made her anxious and she wanted to see who would live and who would die.
In the end, no one knew who started the fight, as the two men engaged each other in combat, almost cutting off the river, and the strength of the man in white was eye-opening.
Wang Ruyi admired them even more in her heart. As an emperor on earth, she was well aware of the existence of cultivators and the great reforms. However, knowing was knowing, seeing was seeing. This was the first time she had seen such a battle.
Different from the mortals' fists hitting flesh and swords scraping skin, the fight between cultivators involves the use of heaven and earth, the exquisiteness of techniques, and the strength of magical weapons.
Li Changxiao had the magic of the Ten Immortal Seals in his hand. In less than three moves, he captured the water god of Jihua River alive. Even he himself was a little surprised. During the fight, he gradually realized that this water god had the cultivation of the Transformation Realm, but his magic was mediocre. He didn't know if it was because he hadn't used it for too long and his skills were much rusty. The only redeeming feature was his fighting style, which was uniquely fierce and brutal. That feeling... Li Changxiao seemed to have felt it vaguely somewhere, but he couldn't tell clearly for a while.
Li Changxiao's cultivation was higher than that of the Water God, almost crushing him. He stepped on the Water God, held the sword across his neck, and asked, "As a human, why do you help the mermaids?"
The water god of Jihua River cursed: "I have nothing to say since I was defeated by you. You can kill me or chop me up as you wish!"
After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and let him do whatever he wanted. However, his right hand was secretly gathering strength, trying to fight back. Li Changxiao shook his sword, and a sword energy flew out, cutting off one of his arms. He asked again, and if he still didn't say it, he would not show mercy.
The actions of the mermaids, such as the tragedy of the destruction of Mengze City, can be concealed from the court, but they can never be concealed from the water gods.
When he was in Mengze City, Li Changxiao did not realize this. It was only later, when he was walking in Dayu, he occasionally felt one or two traces of surveillance, and after thinking about it over and over again, and when he met Wang Ruyi and saw many things in her, he was truly sure that most of the incense gods in Dayu had problems.
Seeing that the Jihua River God remained silent, Li Changxiao gave up and slashed the Jihua River God with his sword, taking his life. Then his eyes flashed blue, and he wanted to use the soul-sucking technique to look for useful clues.
But something surprising happened.
After the water god died, his memory, soul, and all traces disappeared extremely quickly. Even when Li Changxiao used the dream-drawing technique, he could hardly draw any useful clues.
Li Changxiao frowned. It seemed that there was a bigger secret behind this matter. Moreover, Li Changxiao could not determine whether some of the incense gods in Dayu were bad and had ulterior motives, or whether all of them were like that.
At present, Li Changxiao made a few inferences based on the existing information. The god of incense of Dayu country might have joined the mermaid tribe? Maybe the mermaid tribe has mastered one or two methods to prolong life?
Because Dayu Kingdom is located in Xuanyu, even if it is in the southernmost part of the world, if the mermaids want to enter the land, it is reasonable for them to corrupt some humans in advance.
After thinking for a while, Li Changxiao laughed bitterly. What's the point of thinking so much? Without any evidence, it's just a waste of time. It's better to deal with the other few at the same time.
Maybe there will be unexpected gains.
Thinking of this, Li Changxiao picked up his sword at night and walked towards the small temple of the land owner in Gushan. After some twists and turns, he successfully killed the opponent.
During the battle... the land of the valley also gave Li Changxiao a strange feeling. Although his cultivation was high, he had reached the peak of the spirit transformation, but his skills were not refined and his artistic conception was not deep. If it was said that his cultivation was entirely based on the accumulation of elixirs, it was not likely, because his cultivation was indeed solid. But if it was said that he practiced honestly, there was a significant difference.
However, Li Changxiao was not concerned about the person's strength. Instead, he accidentally got some useful clues when killing the land god.
