142|Which of us is the decider 2

Xie Ren stopped in the middle of the two, said, “I still think, we can first sit down and have a good talk. You see this child, is not very much like ……”

Jungo smiled, “Like your son is it.”

“…… ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ……”

Xie Ren laughed dryly for a while and said, “How did you know what I was going to say?”

Jun Wu finally retracted his gaze from Hua Cheng, gently patted Xie Ren’s shoulder, didn’t say anything, and turned around to return to the table to sit down. Xie Ren knew that this meant that there was no frontal conflict for the time being, and could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

If Jun Wu had a murderous intent towards someone, he had seen with his own eyes how terrifying it was when he drew his sword, and no matter what, Xie Ren did not want Hua Cheng to have the opportunity to face him head on.

However, Hua Cheng’s gaze was not withdrawn, still not kind. Jun Wu pushed the three cups of tea away one by one and said, “Although this is not the first time I have seen Your Excellency, it is the first time I have been so close and the atmosphere is so peaceful, so why don’t we use tea instead of wine to make up for this situation.”

Xie Ren coughed lightly, draped himself as naturally as possible, and said while putting on his boots, “Emperor, how is the Upper Heavenly Court now?”

“……”

Jun Wu put down his teacup, looked out the window at the bright moon, and sighed, “Don’t mention it.”

Xie Ren: “…… Good. Don’t mention it.”

It seemed to be really bad. Instead, Juno turned back to him and said with a straight face, “Just kidding. I have to mention it even if I don’t want to. Xianle, why don’t you put down this little friend of yours and follow me out for a few moments.”

I think, is not convenient in front of the face of the people to explain things. Xie Ren was just about to answer, but heard behind him Hua Cheng leisurely said, “You on the Heavenly Court is now in a state of military chaos, it has long been no secret, even the city and countryside brats know that this time the ten thousand ghosts can not be stopped, so excited that they are straight to chirp, so why bother to go out and say it again?”

He also got out of bed and came to the table with a flourish, picking up the teacup and playing with it for a while, but he didn’t seem to be interested in drinking the tea in the cup. A few moments later, all three of them sat at the table. Although Hua Cheng’s form was small at this time, his look and demeanor always made people forget about this matter. Jun Wu said in a warm voice, “It is really true that nothing can be hidden from Your Excellency.”

After all, it was the tea poured by Jun Wu, the face could not be ignored, Xie Ren still drank it, and while drinking it, he said, “Isn’t there still some time before Copper Furnace Mountain is officially opened and closed? Has it been finalized?”

Although Feng Xin had also mentioned it, Xie Ren always felt that there should be more or less an element of exaggeration, not to the point of certainty. Jun Wu, however, said, “It is indeed impossible to stop.”

Hua Cheng said, “I think that your original plan was to send all the Martial Gods to fully blockade the passageway to Copper Furnace Mountain as you have done in the past, and stop them on the way. However, when Mu Qing escaped by breaking the prison and his whereabouts were unknown, a big gap opened up in the south in an instant.”

Xie Ren said, “Has Feng Xin gone back to Xianjing? How is he doing? Did he say anything?”

Jun Wu said, “It is not good to go back. Nanyang was wounded and came back to report the truth in a hurry, requesting me to issue an order to all the magistrates not to kill the female ghost Lan Calamus mother and son. He wanted to report and then go down again, but his injury was not optimistic, his right hand could hardly move, so I detained him in Xianjing to recuperate. In this way, the defense of the southern keep is riddled with holes.”

If something else is changed, such as which one is missing to kill the demons and destroy the monsters to grab the immortality pills and so on, Xie Ren must immediately take the initiative to volunteer, but leading the army to guard the road is not something that can be done well by a single gun. A person can break a thousand armies, but can’t prevent a thousand armies. Xie Ren has long understood deeply that the matter of leading people and troops are not his strength, and it is better to let the people who are really good at this to go on, so he didn’t recommend himself, and only asked: “There is no other martial arts god who can take the top?”

Jun Wu said, ”The other Martial Gods have long had their own lands and tasks to take care of, and are unable to take care of themselves. Originally, there was Pei Su within the Hall of Bright Light, who could have been borrowed for a while, but he has long since been exiled. As for Qi Ying, just like you, he is also a maniac who likes to break into the world single-handedly, I do as I please, and besides, his whereabouts are unknown right now, and the boy never listens to Tong Ling. Coupled with the fact that the Spiritual Wen Hall has lost its main temple magistrate and has temporarily changed its owner, the other gods of the literature dance, wind and flowers, but not in the words, listen to the letter and pass the order, deploy the decision but not, these days ……”

Hearing him say this, these days of the court of heaven, afraid of being about to be paralyzed. Xie Ren felt that it was unbearable to listen to, and sympathized with him, saying, “I remember you said that even if you can’t stop it, there is a way to remedy the situation? How can it be remedied?”

Instead, Flower City said, “Remedy? It’s suicide, isn’t it.”

Juno glanced at him and sighed, “As I said, I don’t want to go that far until I have to.”

Xie Ren’s heart moved and said, “Could …… it be?”

Jun Wu slowly said, “Not bad. Now, the only remedy is to send a Martial God to blend in among the ten thousand ghosts swarming on Copper Furnace Mountain.”

Since we can’t stop the beginning of the fight, let’s make sure that the fight goes to the end, leaving no one behind!

Xie Ren caged his sleeves with both hands, frowning slightly, he said, “I’m not very familiar with Copper Furnace Mountain, and I kind of don’t really understand its rules, so what exactly should I do? Should I kill all the thousands of demons and devils inside one by one?”

But this was almost impossible to do. To sneak into Copper Furnace Mountain, one must conceal their identity and not bring too many helpers with them, otherwise, once the swarm of ghosts realized that one or a few Magi had gotten mixed up in it, they would definitely rise up in a group and attack them. And as Copper Furnace Mountain was an extreme demonic evil place, the Magi’s magical power would be limited to the greatest extent there, and would definitely be even more constrained than in the Blackwater Ghosts.

Instead, Jungo said, “No, it doesn’t have to be that big of a project.”

Hua Cheng said, “Copper Furnace Mountain, I’m familiar with it. Brother, look outside.”

Following his guidance, Xie Ren looked out the window. Outside the window below, was a large piece of land, planted some onions, grass, flowers and whatnot, and there was a small flower pot in the corner. Hua Cheng flipped up the window pane, pointed at the flower pot, and said, “In the center of Copper Furnace Mountain, there is a huge ‘Copper Furnace’.”

As soon as the words fell, the small flowerpot suddenly collapsed and rolled to the center of the land, standing up automatically. Immediately, with it as the center, the originally flat surface of the earth around it arched and arched, gradually arching up a piece of small earth packets of high and low heights.

Hua Cheng said, “‘Copper Furnace’ is surrounded by mountains on all sides. This entire belt, all of which is within the Copper Furnace Mountain, is at least seven cities wide.”

Xie Ren looked at the novelty, gently leaped, flipped to the window. Standing in a small group of earth packs, there is really an illusion of a giant overlooking the vast land below.

Hua Cheng said, “The Ten Thousand Ghosts fight each other, starting from the outermost edge of the mountains, and constantly approaching the ‘Copper Furnace’ in the center.”

With a wave of his hand, many smaller things stirred on the ground. Xie Ren half squatted to take a closer look, only to realize that it was actually many weeds and small leaves twisting, as if a small person was shuttling between the mountains, and said, “That is to say, the closer we get to the center of this ‘Copper Furnace’, the stronger the ghosts we encounter will be?”

Flower City said, “Yes. Because of the weak weeds, they were all killed at the periphery.”

Again he waved his hand gently, and a gust of wind swept over the weeds, which swept them away at once, and the little bare earthbags became lonely and pitiful. And the small flowerpot in the center suddenly let out a gush of red light, and it really looked like a tiny, fire-scorched copper stove. Xie Ren stared at it and realized that a tiny red flower, as well as a few inconspicuous weeds, jumped up onto the small flower pot and circled around the edge of it, as if a few little people were dancing. That little red flower danced the most wildly. Flower City also half squatted down beside him and said, “In the end, only a few ghosts at most can enter the interior of the ‘Copper Furnace’. Then, the ‘Copper Furnace’ will close.”

The “little people” jumped and fell in, and were quickly obliterated by the dark soil. Hua Cheng then said, “Within the next seventy-seven or forty-nine days, there must be a ghost that breaks through this ‘copper furnace’.”

The small flowerpot a violent trembling, steeply burst out a burst of blinding red light, “bang” sound, exploded a wave of flying soil.

Along with this “earth-shaking” appearance, the red-colored flower leaped out of the soil, holding up its two leaves, as if shouting into the wind, showing the world how powerful it was. Seeing this, Xie Ren couldn’t help but laugh with a “pfft”.

However, I don’t know if it was because I was too happy, but the little red flower slipped on the edge of the flowerpot and was about to fall, so Xie Ren hurriedly stretched out her hands and gently caught it, holding it in the palm of her hand. The little red flower seemed to be a little dizzy from the fall, and shook its “head” and raised its “face” to look at the person who caught it above. Xie Ren wiped off the dirt splattered on his hair and said, “This one, is the new generation of Ghost King birthed from Copper Furnace Mountain?”

Hua Cheng nodded his head and said, “Precisely. The ten thousand ghosts fighting in front of us is a process of constantly increasing their strength, essential, if the ghosts entering the ‘copper furnace’ are not strong enough to break through the furnace, they will be smothered inside, burnt to ashes, and become the sustenance of others.”

He stood up and said to Jun Wu inside the room, “Your approach is nothing more than exterminating the elites and placing the weeds. There are only so many that have the potential of a Ghost King, culling them out by hand, and the remaining weak ones, even if they are allowed to enter the ‘Copper Furnace’ they will not be able to rush out, and if they can’t pass that hurdle, as usual, they will not be recognized as a Ghost King.”

Xie Ren nodded and said, “It sounds like it’s feasible, but I wonder how it’s done? Have you tried it before?”

Juno also walked to the window and said, “I don’t know. Have not tried. Used to stop it before the swarm.”

Hua Cheng clasped his arms and said, ”I’m afraid it’s not feasible. To fight in such conditions is tantamount to suicide. It is recommended that you, who came up with this brilliant solution, go on your own.”

Jungo said calmly, “That’s exactly what I’m saying.”

Xie Ren was stunned and said, “Emperor?”

Jun Wu said, “Xian Le, I have come down to earth for this purpose. I’m going to head to Copper Furnace Mountain. You go back to the Upper Heavenly Court and help me temporarily take over all affairs.”

Xie Ren lowered his hand and rose with a huff, ”How can this be done? Let me take over temporarily? You’re not kidding, no one will serve me.”

Jungo guffawed and said, “Well, then, this is a good opportunity for them to convince you.”

Xie Ren rubbed his brow and said, ”Emperor, this time, forgive me for really not being able to agree with you. This matter is too absurd, take the earth to make a not-so-appropriate analogy, the emperor can go on an imperial expedition, but have you ever heard of an emperor going undercover to assassinate? The only reason why Xianjing can float in the sky is because of you. All the other gods can not control, all you in charge. When you’re there, the sky doesn’t fall, and when you’re not there, the sky really falls.”

Jun Wu, however, crossed his arms and said, “Xian Le, in fact, there is no one in the world without whom the sky will fall. If you get used to it, you’ll realize that you can get by without anyone, and there will always be a new one to replace the old one. If the Ghost King comes out, if there is another Blood Rain Tantrum or Black Water Sinker, it’s not a big deal, but if there is another White Clothes Scourge that comes out, then the world will be in chaos.”

He looked straight into Xie Ren’s eyes and said, “You have seen with your own eyes how difficult it is to kill a ‘Jedi’ like him. There is no other way but for me to go.”

Xie Ren also knew that this was not because Jun Wu was conceited. To be in the weakest state, enclosed amongst ten thousand ghosts, and to accurately pick out the most powerful ones one by one to finish them off or subdue them, even he himself did not dare to say that he would definitely be able to do it. Only Jun Wu, had the greatest certainty. However, once he left, it might take about ten years, what about outside? What about going up to the Heavenly Court?

It was at this moment that Flower City said, “Who says there’s no other way?”
