Chapter 407: Spiritual Official Temple (2)
At the end of the True King Era, a situation similar to the Prehistoric Era emerged; the sun extinguished, and catastrophes erupted once more.
The third era is now the era called the Thirteen Families Era. After the sun extinguished, it lit up again, how many years passed, unknown. But at this time, Daoist skills greatly regressed, new laws prevailed, Mahayana Realm became the Supreme Realm, lifespan only a hundred years.
Thirteen Families Era developed for over six thousand years, the sun extinguished again, catastrophes erupted again.
"Clearly, there's something wrong here! Why did the true sun and moon become the eyes of the Outer Heaven True God, what happened during this time?"
Chen Shi inquired Little Dun Fairy, but Little Dun Fairy didn't know either.
"Could it be related to Despair Slope?"
Chen Shi pondered, the appearance of Despair Slope was also extremely ancient, according to the news he currently received, when Great Ming soldiers first landed on this New Continent, they discovered Heaven Listeners moving around everywhere, and later discovered Despair Slope through the Heaven Listeners, True King entered Despair Slope for the first time. What happened during this time, unknown.
After the True King came out, his temperament greatly changed, promoting the new laws to replace the old laws. The subsequent sealing of immortals, the extensive slaughter of demi immortals, and the death of Innocent Taoist, were all related to the True King entering Despair Slope.
True King entered Despair Slope for the second time after the sun extinguished, True King died in Despair Slope, his body sent back to Western Capital. What happened during this time, also unknown.
But after that, there should have been a series of bizarre events, including the disconnection between West Bull New Continent and Huaxia Divine Continent, destruction of the All Gods' Temples from Huaxia Divine Continent, disappearance of the gods, Evil Spirits rampant in rural areas, history of the True King Era wiped away, leaving only sporadic records and legends.
"Now, something similar to the True King Era happened again, not knowing how long the sun extinguished then before lighting up again."
Chen Shi looked at the huge silver moon in the sky, whispered, "How many years will it take for the sun to light up again this time when it extinguishes? Little Dun Fairy..."
"Husband!"
Little Dun hooked his arm, very intimate. As for Little Dun Fairy, she should have gone into meditation to heal.
Chen Shi blinked: "Lady, call your sister out, I have something to ask her."
Little Dun was bewildered: "What sister? Do I have a sister?"
Chen Shi sighed inwardly, held her hand.
The wooden carriage came running over, burped.
Chen Shi and Little Dun boarded the wooden carriage, shortly after, Black Pot rushed over, shrunk its size, ran ahead of the carriage.
The carriage quickly arrived beside the spirit field, the ghost god hidden in the clouds peeked out, shivered, and hid in the clouds again.
Black Pot revealed its true body, extended its head into the clouds, caught the ghost god and dragged it down.
The ghost god quickly said: "Master, I am only responsible for guarding the spirit field for Lord Fengyang, never did evil!"
"Little child sails a small boat, secretly picks white lotus back. Dare not speak loudly, afraid to disturb celestial beings."
Chen Shi spread out Granny Sha's underworld geographical map by the shore, while checking the map, said, "You are those celestial beings. In the years since the Young Master rose, he bought hundreds of children from the Tianlao Society, these children came to the spirit field to steal white lotus, how many were eaten by you?"
The ghost god's face suddenly changed, hurriedly rode a gust of dark wind to escape.
Indeed, he ate quite a few children who came to steal white lotus.
Resurrection Lotus was of little use to him, but those children picking lotus were extremely delicious to him, so he pretended to doze while secretly observing these children.
Each time he wouldn't eat many children, eating too many would make the Taiping Sect dare not send children down, so every time Taiping Sect stole white lotus, he would only eat two or three children. Furthermore, he would intentionally feign sleep, indulging these children to pick white lotus.
In this way, Taiping Sect benefitted, would continuously send children down to pick lotus, and he could continuously eat.
Chen Shi snorted coldly: "Won't spare you! Black Pot."
Black Pot charged forward, quickly caught up with the ghost god, slapped him to the ground with one claw!
The ghost god hurriedly cried: "Spare my life! I am willing to serve diligently!"
He hadn't finished speaking, Black Pot opened its mouth, shot a burst of demon fire, the blazing demon flame ignited the ghost god, burnt him to ashes in a short moment.
Chen Shi surveyed the surrounding geography while comparing with the geographical map, then took out the West King Jade Seal from the wooden carriage, raised the Jade Seal, projecting the Mountain and River Map from the Jade Seal.
He repeatedly compared, looked at a mountain across the swamp, said: "Indeed wrong. There's an extra mountain here, should be a newly grown mountain! Let's go!"
He rolled up the geographical map, Black Pot went ahead, crossed into the swamp, headed straight for the mountain. The wooden carriage wheels created wind, flew up, chased after Black Pot.
At this time, a gold eagle flew from afar, caught up with the wooden carriage, the gold eagle folded its wings, landed, transformed into a canopy on the wooden carriage.
The wooden carriage traveled with the wind, extended an arm, opened the canopy, and propped up the umbrella.
It also lit several incense sticks for itself, increased speed, caught up with Black Pot.
After they left, Yin Messengers drove wooden boats here, roamed around, then departed.
Another two or three hours passed, lights streaked across the night sky, canoes carrying Child Heavenly Spirit Lamps arrived successively, Yin Messengers on the boats had solemn expressions. These Yin Messengers often came from Yaksha, Bull Head, Horse Face and other Ghost Clans, there were also a few Yin Messengers from the Human Clan, appearing in Primordial Spirit form, evidently had no true body.
They wandered around, illuminated every corner of Fengyang Manor, captured ghost monsters, questioned them.
After a long time, they surveyed the battlefield thoroughly.
