198|The man in the abyss gets a hat in the rain 3

When he said this, the crowd was silent. Because he got to the point, these two days, really a person did not come to help Xie Ren a hand, the water vendor at least had the intention to send water, just did not send, while others simply did not even dare to look at more!

Someone yelled, “So what the hell do we do now? You guys who aren’t allowed to give a solution!”

Seeing that the crowd was about to stir up again, and some people were desperately trying to push their way forward, at this moment, another voice shouted, “Who’s arguing? Whoever makes more noise, I’ll stab him!”

Taking another look, it was the first fat cook who tried to come up and pull out his sword when Xie Ren fell down on the first day. As if he was angry, he said, “This old brother is right! Yesterday, if it wasn’t for several people trying to stop me from going up, I would have almost pulled out the sword! Why is it that I didn’t even move, but those who stopped me are screaming the loudest? How dare you? I don’t see many people who are so shameless!”

This cook is a big man, loud voice, is angry also copied a kitchen knife, seems to have just come out of the kitchen, the previous loudest a few immediately did not dare to shout anymore. Some people who didn’t know about the situation in the past two days inquired clearly about what was going on and were shocked: “No way? None of you went up there?”

“Yeah, just let him lie there for two days? No help?”

Some of the people who were told off couldn’t stand it, saying, “Don’t talk as if you’d go up and help if you were there, you’re just talking out of your ass. Don’t forget that when those ghosts come down later, none of you will escape!”

“Hey I’m telling you, if I’d been there I’d have gone up and pulled his sword out for him!”

“Of course you’re not tired of moving your lips after the fact ……”

“Wait a minute! What are you all arguing about, it’s not like it’s a matter of drawing or not drawing your swords!”

Arguing and arguing, two groups of people in an uproar about to quarrel, the rain also gradually small. However, the black clouds were even thicker, pressing down on the hundreds of people underneath, and they couldn’t breathe. Suddenly, the crowd erupted into a shout, several fingers pointing to the sky, “It’s coming!!!”

Xie Ren also violently raised his head. Only to see those rolling in the black clouds of the human face suddenly storm | move up, dragging a long “tail”, such as a black meteor like a rapid fall!

Here comes the sphinx epidemic!

The crowd was horrified, their hands were in a frenzy, some ran, some hid in the house, there were also a few to grab the black sword. However, the black sword that was knocked down on the ground did not know when it actually disappeared, grabbed an empty.

Xie Ren, who had just been surprised by the crowd’s reaction, only now realized the matter and also said, “Where’s the sword? Who took it?!”

No one had time to answer, everyone scattered and ran wildly in all directions. But how could they be as fast as the grievous spirits falling? Soon, the screams of the living and the screams of the spiteful spirits came from all directions!

After catching up with the living, the spirits were like a rolling black smoke, entangled and pervasive, slowly integrating into their bodies. Xie Ren struggled to drive them away, but there were too many spirits for him to drive away alone. As he watched countless people being chased in front of him, the water vendor couple and the fat cook were also entangled in the black smoke and rolling all over the ground, while Bai Wuxiang was not far away, laughing coldly and standing by with his arms folded.

Xie Ren, angry and anxious, put his heart on the line and simply yelled at the densest part of the resentful spirits, “Hey–!”

He was, after all, the main messenger who had awakened these resentful spirits, and by shouting so loudly, those things naturally noticed him. Xie Ren opened his hands to them and said, “Come to my side!”

The spiteful spirits that had already haunted the living were hesitant, not knowing whether to go over or not, while the ones still in the air immediately changed direction and rushed at Xie Ren.

Success!

Xie Ren’s heart was about to stop. He didn’t know what would happen, and he didn’t know what he would become. However, he rushed forward with a sudden rush of blood in his head, he only felt that even if he had to fight for a breath in front of that despicable monster and beat him black and blue, he could never back down; even if a thousand times more undead were to come, he would still be invincible!

Do you want to see me feel sorry for myself and give up on myself?

I digress!!!

Never!!!

The overwhelming black tide surrounded Xie Ren, and a spiteful spirit cried out as it passed through his body, and in an instant, Xie Ren’s heart felt as if it had been frozen, and he shivered. Immediately after that, there was a second, a third ……

These things slammed through Xie Ren’s torso like a sword wind and sword qi, each time taking away a few moments of his residual warmth, Xie Ren’s face grew paler and paler, but he always insisted on not retreating.

It was only a few hundred, he had only lasted a short while, more would follow. This sky was full of black clouds, all of them!

Xie Ren closed his eyes, ready to take on the wrath of all the resentful spirits with his own strength. Who knew that the next grievous spirit was slow to arrive. Puzzled, he opened his eyes and suddenly realized that the overwhelming black tide that surrounded him had disappeared.

Because, they all turned into rolling black streams and were sucked away in the other direction!

In shock, Xie Ren turned his head to look. Only to see a black-clothed martial artist standing at the end of the long street, and in his hand, he was holding the long black sword.

Nameless?

Xie Ren has long explained to him beforehand, let this him go away by himself, waiting for him to launch the human face epidemic, why would he appear here at this time?

Xie Ren wasn’t sure what this was all about, much less what the black-clothed martial artist was here for, and after freezing for a moment, he immediately ran at him, shouting as he did so, ”Wait! What are you doing? Don’t touch it indiscriminately! Give me the sword!”

The black-clothed martial artist seemed to have heard his voice and raised his head slightly. Xie Ren couldn’t see his real face, only a painted smiling face. However, he had a strange feeling.

It seemed to him that the face beneath the black-clothed martial artist’s mask actually smiled.

However, the feeling was fleeting. The huge black torrent and the tide of screams mixed into a storm that converged over there, instantly engulfing that black-clothed martial artist.

At that moment, Xie Ren heard a heartbreaking scream.

It was like he’d heard that voice somewhere. He must have heard that voice somewhere!

Pain.

That burst of severe pain that erupted from the heart came and went suddenly, I don’t know how long it took, the surroundings quieted down, and Xie Ren’s hands that were holding his head hung down disheveledly.

He scanned up with slight disorientation, there were people lying across the floor in all directions, most unconscious, and the spiteful spirits that had haunted them before had all but disappeared.

The scene confused him. What happened to the sphinxes? What about the spirits? What happened to himself?

That black torrent had also long since dissipated. And where that black-robed nameless ghost had originally stood, only a black sword remained that had fallen to the ground, and beside the blade of the sword, a small white flower had fallen.

Xie Ren stumbled to his feet and stepped forward, picking up the flower and the sword.

He touched his face and looked at his arms, and didn’t feel that there was anything different about his body, not like he had endured some powerful curse. In the midst of confusion, a voice suddenly came from behind him and softly said, “Ah.”

Xie Ren turned around, Bai Wuxiang’s hands caged his sleeves and stood behind him, his wide sleeve hems fluttering in the wind.

Xie Ren hadn’t reacted to what was going on, but there was a slight bad feeling hidden in his heart.

Bai Wu Xiang glanced at him and laughed lightly. That bad feeling of foreboding intensified, Xie Ren frowned, “What are you laughing at?”

Bai Wu Rather asked, “You still don’t know what’s happening?”

Xie Ren said, “What?”

Bai Wu Xiang said, “Do you know, what that ghost is?”

“……” Xie Ren said, “War, battlefield undead?”

Bai Wu Xiang said, “Yes. But at the same time, he was also the last of your believers in this world. Now, no more.”

…… believers?

He would actually have followers in this world?

It was a long time before Xie Ren was finally able to utter a few words.

With difficulty he said, “What, call, no more?”

Bai Wuxiang leisurely said, “The soul is scattered.”

Xie Ren was a bit unable to accept this, “How did the spirit fly away?!”

Bai Wu Xiang said, “Because he was cursed in your place, the undead you recalled ate him to the dregs.”

“……”

The undead he recalled?

Instead of him being cursed?

Bai Wu Xiang added, “Ah, yes, it’s not the first time you’ve seen him.”

Xie Ren froze and looked at him. Bai Wu Xiang said with interest, “This ghost seems to have been following you. Originally, I just saw that it had quite a deep grudge, so I captured it and asked about it. Who knows, it turned out to be interesting. Mid-Yuan Festival, Lantern Night, Ghost Fire Soul. Remember?”

Xie Ren muttered, “Mid-Yuan Festival? Lantern Night? Ghost Fire Soul?”

Bai Wuxiang slowly prompted, “This ghost, in life, was a soldier under your command, and after death, was an undead spirit that followed you. Because you died in battle, because you pierced your heart with a hundred swords and turned into a severe ghost, and because you unleashed the human face epidemic the soul died.”

Xie Ren seemed to vaguely remember something again. However, he hadn’t even seen the face of this believer, and didn’t even know his name, so how could he really remember anything or how much he could remember?

“Perhaps there really are still followers of His Highness here who are worshipping you ……”

Yes. Yes.

And, the only believer!

Bai Wuxiang seemed to say a lot of other things, but Xie Ren listened in a trance, none of it registering in his ears, until finally he said, “A god like you is already pathetic and ridiculous enough. To be your believer is even more pathetic and ridiculous to the extreme.”

“……”

In the front, when he taunted Xie Ren, Xie Ren didn’t even have any reaction, but listening to this thing self-righteously evaluating his believers as pathetic and laughable, Xie Ren felt as if he had suddenly been awakened by a stab with a sword, and a burst of uncontrollable fury.

He rushed up but was tackled with a single move, Bai Wu Xiang said in a cold voice, “You can’t win against me like this, how many times do I have to say it before you recognize the truth?”

Xie Ren also didn’t even want to win him, and it didn’t matter if he couldn’t, he just wanted to violently beat this thing, and angrily said, “What do you know! Who are you to mock him?!”

That’s the only believer he has left in this world!

Bai Wuxiang said, ”A believer who follows a loser, why shouldn’t I mock? You are stupid, and your followers are even more stupid. Listen! If you want to defeat me, you must follow my teachings. Otherwise, you’ll never be able to win against me!”

Xie Ren wanted to “pooh-pooh” him as hard as she could, but she couldn’t even breathe. Bai Wuxiang’s other hand flipped over and a sad and happy face appeared in his palm, saying, “Now, start over!”

He was pressing this mask towards Xie Ren’s face, unexpectedly, just then, boom, boom.

Electricity flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and a strange light shot out from the clouds. Bai Wuxiang alertly stopped his movements and said, ”What is this? A heavenly calamity? ……”

After a pause, he vetoed, “No!”

Nope.

It’s the apocalypse, but, it’s more than that!

A man’s voice resounded heavily throughout the sky, saying, “He can’t win against you, how about me?”

Xie Ren’s head snapped up.

At an unknown time, a young Martial God clad in white armor with a rui qi appeared at the end of the long street in front of him, surrounded by a layer of faintly white aura, his hand resting on his sword as he stepped in step by step, killing a clear path in the world of greyness and darkness.

He couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

Jungo!

……

After the rain cleared, Xie Ren sat on the scorched earth and panted slightly.

Jun Wu sheathed his sword and walked over, saying, “Xian Le, welcome back to your position.”

He looked tired, face with blood marks, that is left by Bai Wuxiang. In addition, Jun Wu’s body also suffered large and small dozens of injuries, can not be said to be not heavy, only, Bai Wuxiang is heavier, so heavy to be beaten to the God disappeared form, only left on the ground a broken sad and happy face.

Hearing him say “return”, Xie Ren was stunned and touched his neck, only to realize that the spell shackle had disappeared.

Jun Wu laughed a little and said, “I was not wrong. It took you less time to come back than I thought.”

Xie Ren gradually came back to his senses and smiled back, but it was a bitter smile.

After calming his breath, he said, “Emperor, I want to ask you for something.”

Jungo said, “Yes.”

Xie Ren said, “You don’t even ask me what it is about?”

Jun Wu said, “You’re going to ask for a gift when you return to the Immortal Capital anyway, so consider this matter as a gift for your return to the throne.”

Xie Ren tugged at the corners of his mouth, stood up, looked straight at Jun Wu, and solemnly said, “Then I, for one, will ask you to once again relegate me to the mortal world.”

At those words, Jun Wu tightened his smile and said, “Why is that?”

Xie Ren confessed, “I did something wrong. The second Sphinx Epidemic was started by me. Although the consequences didn’t seem too serious.”

Because, it’s just the disappearance of a nameless ghost. And in this world, there probably wouldn’t even be anyone who cared about such a nameless ghost, so it didn’t seem like the consequences would be too serious.

Jungo said slowly, “Know what is wrong, then, and you are already right.”

Xie Ren, however, shook his head and said, “Just knowing that is not enough. If you do something wrong, you should be punished, but the mistake I made, the one who was punished in my place was ……”

He raised his head and said, “So, as a punishment, I ask the emperor, to grant me another spell yoke, no, two. One to seal my mana, and one to dissipate my qi.”

Jun Wu frowned slightly and said, “Scattering all the qi? Then wouldn’t you be so unlucky that you would really become a plague god?”

In the past, Xie Ren would indeed be very concerned about being called a plague god, and would be very resistant, feeling greatly insulted, but now he was indifferent to this and said, “A plague god is a plague god. I know I’m not as long as I can.”

After he dispersed his fortunes, they would naturally divert to others who were too unfortunate. It was also a way to make amends.

Jungo warned, “It’ll be humiliating.”

Xie Ren said, “Shame on you. Honestly, it feels …… like I’m getting used to it.”

It’s not something you want to get used to, but, it seems like you really can’t get used to it.

Jun Wu looked at him and said, “Xian Le, you must understand that without mana, you are no longer a god.”

Xie Ren sighed and said, “Emperor, I understand more than anyone else.”

After a pause, he said with a bit of annoyance and frustration, “People say that I am a god, and I have magic power. But in fact, I …… am not the god they think I am, and I am not necessarily invincible as they wish.

“Can God be such a failure? Wanting to protect their people, but letting their corpses spread out; wanting to take revenge, but pulling back at the last minute to lose the battle. The point of ‘failure’, Bai Wuxiang wasn’t wrong.

“If it isn’t, it isn’t.”

Juno gazed at him carefully for a long time and said, “Xianle has grown up.”

This should have been said by Xie Ren’s elders. Unfortunately, his father and mother didn’t have the chance to say it.

After a short while, Jun Wu said, “Since you chose the path, then, fine. However, there has to be a reason for me to relegate you to the earth.”

We can’t just casually demote a magistrate like a child’s play, what does that take the Heavenly Court for?

This Xie Ren had an idea, he said, “Emperor, we, it seems like we’ve never once competed with all our strength?”

Jun Wu instantly understood what he meant and said with a smile, “Xian Le, but I’m injured.”

Xie Ren said, “I’m also injured, so it’s just about even.”

Jun Wu nodded, “In that case, I will show no mercy.”

Xie Ren smiled faintly, a leaping light flashing up in her eyes as she said, “I won’t either.”

……

His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, has been demoted again.

After the sensational second heavenly tribulation, Prince Xie Ren of Xian Le, who killed his way back up to the Heavenly Court in a furious manner, punching and kicking, only flew up for less than an incense burner before he was beaten down again by the Divine Martial Emperor. All the magi were puzzled, what the hell does this man what does he want to do?

However, Xie Ren couldn’t figure out what the other Magi were trying to do.

Why are you so curious? Looking at him day after day, pretending to be a mortal and turning into an animal, it’s been spying on him for a few days now! What’s so beautiful about a big man carrying bricks and mortar?

As he was wondering, the foreman behind him called out, “Newcomer, you, that’s you, I’m talking about you! Don’t be lazy!”

Xie Ren hurriedly sat up and responded loudly, “Oh!”

In response, he grabbed a broken bushel fan and fanned himself furiously, and in front of him, several pieces of masonry built a small stove, on which a large pot of rice was being cooked with a thud.

This is the site where he moved the dirt and mud. However, the bricks had already been moved, and just a short distance away, two brand new shrines had been completed, and now, his task was to cook. As he was cooking, and was working ten thousand times harder, two carriages pulled in two tall idols. Xie Ren absentmindedly threw something blindly into the pot while taking time out of his busy schedule to look at them.

The two idols were carried into two separate temples. The temple on the left cheered, “Good General Xuanzhen! General Xuanzhen is homely and kind!”

Xie Ren was speechless.

Is this group of believers serious when they use the word “kind-hearted” in praise of mujahideen?

However, again, they seemed to have a good reason. After all, it was well known that Mu Xiang had ascended because he had cleaned up all of the meddling remnants of the old Imperial City of Immortal Bliss’ grudges, and it wouldn’t be impossible to understand that as being nerdy and kind. Anyway, all the people of the Old Imperial City were very grateful to him.

The one on the right yelled, “Good for General Juyang! General Juyang is invincible!”

Xie Ren nodded. This was something he had no problem with. However, it wasn’t necessarily true when it came to women.

Both sides of the believers are dared to yell at each other, both want to cover each other, yelling Xie Ren ears raw pain, he sighed, rubbing his eyebrows, thinking, why bother?

If you hate each other so much, why don’t you just not build your temple across the street from each other?

The answer is – of course not! Because, this is the most popular and best feng shui land in the city, of course, the followers of these two magi will not give up such a fat piece of land just because they want to avoid each other, of course, they want to rob each other’s incense and make a strong effort to disgust each other.

In a short while, the believers on both sides of the back had progressed from cursing to fighting. On this side, Xie Ren felt that the fire was almost ready, and the spatula knocked on the lid of the pot, shouting aloud, “Gentlemen, stop fighting! Come and eat!”

The fight is in full swing, who cares about him. Xie Ren shook his head and uncovered the pot, and the fragrance floated for ten miles. This is good, the crowd den not fight, have howled: “…… I fucking …… what is this flavor?!”

“Who’s cooking shit?!”

“Or is it pot-flavored shit?!”

Xie Ren defended, “What! This is a top secret royal collection dish ……”

The foreman covered his nose and came over to take a look, his face turned green, jumped up and said: “Bullshit top secret collection, which kind of royal! Just you? Roll roll roll roll roll! Don’t be disgusting!”

Xie Ren compromised and said, “Okay, rolling is fine, but please take the trouble to pay my wages …… first.”

The foreman said angrily, “How dare you mention wages! You talk about it! You! Since you came! How much have I lost!!! What? It’s been raining and thundering everywhere but on you! The house caught fire three times! And it collapsed three times! You’re a plague! How dare you ask for my money? Get lost! I’ll beat you up if you come back!”

Xie Ren said: “words can not be said so, you have said is rushing me, every time others are not all right, I think you want to renege on the debt? ……” The words did not fall, the foreman and a group of workers can no longer stand the flavor of the pot wafting out, wind swept away like a shadow. Xie Ren said, “Wait?!”

Looking back, the two groups of people who were fighting have long been smoked away. Xie Ren was speechless, muttering to himself, “If you don’t eat it and ask me to cook such a big pot, can you just waste money?”

Shaking his head, he thought about it, and served two large bowls of rice, one large bowl was put into the Hall of Clubs and Yangs for offering, and one large bowl was put into the Hall of Xuanzhen for offering, and finally felt that he had made the best use of what he had, and clapped his hands together, satisfied.

Going outside and packing up his things, he carefully rolled up the grass mat on the ground and tied it together with the sword and carried it on his back, the white damask wrapped around his wrist quietly rubbed twice, Xie Ren patted it, held the bucket hat on his head, and said, “Alright, if you don’t pay, you don’t pay. I’ll go sell my art.”

Anyways, he still has one more specialty – chest breaking!

Walking out for a while, Xie Ren suddenly found a small red flower by the roadside, very lovely, squatted down, gently touched its petals, in a good mood, said to it, “I hope to see you again in the future.”

When he was a long way out, the tiny red flower was still swaying in the wind.
