Chapter 44: Which Master Huang?
Chapter 44: Which Master Huang?
Although Chen Huangpi had changed his skin, his appearance had changed greatly, and his figure was tall, compared to the mutated deity statue's towering body of several tens of feet, he was just a small dot.
Thus, the great evil entity was frozen in place under the gaze of the great evil god.
"I've already become like this. It can't possibly still recognize me, right?"
Chen Huangpi felt that he had already changed his skin and was even wearing a bamboo hat that even Huang Er couldn't see through.
Even if his master came, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize him.
This mutated deity statue should be right.
As if it had seen through Chen Huangpi's thoughts, the brass oil lamp said faintly, "Logically, it shouldn't be able to recognize you. But the black smoke on your body is unique. And it was polluted by you. Who can say for sure?"
"Nonsense, I'm a good evil entity. I won't pollute it!"
Chen Huangpi's heart leaped to his throat.
The mutated deity statue was the last deity that the Pure Immortal Temple had worshipped before. Later, it might have been polluted for some reason, but in short, it wasn't him.He had only often stolen its offerings.
He had no contact with it at other times.
It shouldn't hold a grudge against him. It should hold a grudge against his master. It was his master who had not allowed a fourth man-eating thing to appear in the temple and had driven it out.
Later, it had run back and said that it was too cold outside and not as warm as in the Daoist temple, begging him to let it in.
If it weren't for his master's refusal, he would have agreed.
He was a good evil entity.
It couldn't be that it couldn't distinguish between right and wrong!
The big-headed evil entity looked at Chen Huangpi and the mutated deity statue, who were frozen in place, and was completely confused.
Some evil entities were born intelligent, could speak human words, and were even smarter and more cruel than humans.
Some evil entities were like uncivilized savages.
They could see, but they couldn't understand.
"Great evil entity, great evil god, you are all very fierce. Please follow me."
The big-headed evil entity's single eye opened and closed. Its thin limbs crawled on the ground, as if it wanted to take them to a place that only the great evil could go.
Seeing this, Chen Huangpi had no other thoughts and immediately followed.
Behind him, a heavy rumbling sound immediately followed.
The mutated deity statue was pressing in from behind.
Its huge body, with every step it took, was like the earth dragon turning over.
Crunch, crunch...
The large mouth that had split open on its chest began to chew on the deity that had not yet died, absorbing its essence to repair itself.
Chen Huangpi had not wandered around much in this evil entity's morning market before.
Now, the big-headed evil entity was leading the way in front.
As it walked, it was still shouting something like "the great evil entity, the great evil god has arrived."
All the evil entities and evil gods were afraid to avoid it. How would they dare to block the way?
In fact, there was not much difference between an evil entity and an evil god.
It was just that one was born from the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and the other was a deity that had been polluted and mutated.
Both were essentially evil entities.
However, after the big-headed evil entity's propaganda, all the evil entities knew that Chen Huangpi ate evil entities, and all the evil gods also knew that the mutated deity statue ate deities.
Both were excessively fierce.
Soon, the big-headed evil entity led Chen Huangpi and the mutated deity statue to the place.
It was a huge stage.
The foundation alone was several hundred meters in circumference. A sunshade was also built, and curtains were drawn on both sides. It seemed that it was not yet time for the show to start.
Seeing this, Chen Huangpi couldn't help but say, "Big-headed evil entity, it's fine for you to bring me to watch a show, but let me say this first, I won't give you any money."
The big-headed evil entity was stunned.
It tried hard to understand the meaning of Chen Huangpi's words, but its thinking couldn't keep up.
After a long time, it finally said dryly, "Master Huang said that all evil entities can watch. It likes liveliness."
"Which Master Huang?"
Chen Huangpi became curious. Was there an evil entity with the surname Huang?
The big-headed evil entity said with some difficulty, "Master Huang... is Master Huang. He is the new Master Huang."
Seeing that it couldn't explain clearly, Chen Huangpi couldn't bear to continue asking.
Anyway, he would see him later.
There was no hurry.
"Could it be Huang Yi?"
The brass oil lamp suddenly said.
Chen Huangpi said, "Huang Yi should still be hanging in the Flying Immortal Painting. It definitely won't be him."
"That's a pity."
The brass oil lamp's feelings for Huang Yi were extremely complicated. It was the kind of feeling where you were afraid that your brother was not doing well, but also afraid that your brother was doing too well.
However, it was just saying that.
If Huang Yi had really turned into an evil entity, there would have been a big commotion in the Hundred Thousand Mountains long ago.
At this time, some evil entities walked over.
It seemed that they were also here to watch the show.
Among them was the slender, tattered-black-robed good evil entity.
Chen Huangpi saw it at a glance and even waved at it.
The latter was stunned for a moment, and then stiffly learned Chen Huangpi's action and waved a hand.
As for the evil entities that had traded for black smoke with Chen Huangpi with stones, they also followed suit and greeted him. Even the evil entities without hands and feet stuck out their tongues and licked a few times.
Chen Huangpi wanted to sit over there.
He liked liveliness, and he also liked to be with the evil entities he knew.
But as soon as he walked up, the big-headed evil entity stopped him.
"Great evil entity, you must take the upper seat!"
After speaking, it pointed to the front row, where there was a large open space.
When evil entities watched a show, it was naturally different from mortals. Their bodies were special, and some didn't even have a body.
Therefore, they didn't need seats.
They could just stand wherever there was space.
Chen Huangpi walked to the front row, and the mutated deity statue also followed. After a loud rumbling sound, it sat cross-legged on the ground.
But it was too terrifying.
And it was still chewing on the living deity. The crunching sound was too terrifying.
All the evil entities were unwilling to get too close to it.
Chen Huangpi was the same.
He found a place with a good view and sat cross-legged.
Behind him were the evil entities he knew.
"After the show is over, let's sneak away in the chaos."
Chen Huangpi thought to himself, "If there's any more trouble, I can't drag it out. I might have to ask Huang Er to use the Divine Light of Escape to take me back."
He and the brass oil lamp were of one mind.
The brass oil lamp naturally said, "My lamp oil has increased, and my wick is also thicker. It's enough to use the Divine Light of Escape three times, but I have to get out first."
The space in this cave had a mirage-like feeling.
Although it seemed real, it was actually as illusory as a dream bubble.
Here, its lamplight could not shine out.
If it didn't walk out of the cave, the Divine Light of Escape could only spin around here.
Chen Huangpi had the brass oil lamp to back him up.
He was naturally full of confidence. He looked at the mutated deity statue from the corner of his eye, confident that he would not be discovered with the bamboo hat covering him.
But with this look, he was shocked.
The mutated deity statue seemed to be sitting cross-legged, but its hands were hanging down, and its palms were facing him. In each palm, there was an evil vertical eye, which had been staring at Chen Huangpi from beginning to end.
With this look, it was really four eyes meeting.
Chen Huangpi quickly turned his head away, pretending not to see.
He had already realized that the mutated deity statue had long since recognized him.
But he didn't know why it hadn't made a move the first time they met.
"I've become stronger."
Chen Huangpi said silently, "I don't have to be afraid of it. Me and Huang Er, plus Ah Gui, can't the three of us cobblers beat a Zhuge Liang?"
The brass oil lamp also said, "That's right. You've become stronger, and I've become stronger. Ah Gui has also become stronger. We are a ball of fire when we gather, and a sky full of stars when we scatter. What are we afraid of? When we leave here later, we'll strike first and give it a hard blow."
"That's right. It chased us so miserably last time."
"Hey, Ah Gui, why aren't you talking?"
The Soul-Hooking Ghost said faintly, "Because I can sense the aura of the Yellow Springs of the netherworld. That Master Huang is here."
As soon as these words were spoken, the brass oil lamp's alarm bells suddenly went off.
The next second, it exclaimed.
"It's over, it's him!"
Hearing this, Chen Huangpi couldn't help but look back.
Then, he saw that Master Huang.
It was a long procession. At the very front was a little girl of about eight or nine years old. On both sides behind her were men carrying a wooden temple.
It was the villagers of Huhuang Village who had been polluted and swallowed by the Yellow Peril.
The big-headed evil entity said loudly, "Master Huang has arrived! Master Huang, please take the upper seat!"
The villagers carried the temple and walked towards the front row with their gods.
Wherever they passed, all the evil entities were unwilling to be touched.
Chen Huangpi said in disbelief, "It's the weasel mountain god. It's not dead, and it's become the Yellow Peril?"
"A mutated deity statue, a Yellow Peril! It's all related to you."
The brass oil lamp's two eyes went black, "I see it now. Chen Huangpi, you are a jinx!"
Before, the fox mountain god had already made it very clear.
The white-robed old Daoist had pried open the Yellow Peril's skull, sucked its brain, and then took a bite of more than half of its body, but felt that the earthy smell was too strong and not palatable, so he had casually thrown it away.
The brass oil lamp had originally thought that since the Temple Master had taken action, the Yellow Peril must be dead beyond death.
But it didn't expect that it was still alive.
On the contrary, the deities, one by one, were all dead beyond death.
Looking at the mutated deity statue again at this time, the brass oil lamp was horrified to find that on the large hole on the mutated deity statue's head, some bite marks could be faintly seen.
"Family, look quickly. Are the bite marks on its head the same as the ones on my body?"
The bite marks on its body were naturally left by the Temple Master.
Chen Huangpi only took one look and recognized it, "It really is master's bite marks. So it was master who drove it away that day!"
"Is the Temple Master really mad?"
The brass oil lamp suddenly said.
Chen Huangpi said, "Huang Er, why did you suddenly say that?"
"I've read so many medicine classics and have read widely. Can't I tell if master is mad or not?"
"If he's not mad, then am I a quack?"
But the brass oil lamp did not answer.
It no longer had any words, just an inexplicable fear.
If the Temple Master was mad, then he should kill whatever he saw and eat whatever he wanted.
But thinking about it carefully, it seemed that after the Temple Master went mad, he had never killed a single evil entity.
Even the previous contract master of the Soul-Hooking Manual was only swallowed by the Temple Master because he had run to the Pure Immortal Temple to take Chen Huangpi's life.
All the later evil entities, such as this Yellow Peril, such as the mutated deity statue, although their fates were miserable, even worse than death, they were all still alive and well.
On the contrary, the deities, the Temple Master never held back.
Even the fox mountain god, which had a connection with the Pure Immortal Temple, was just a leek that was also being raised in captivity.
The more the brass oil lamp thought about it, the more afraid it became.
The more it thought about it, the more terrified it became.
Inexplicably, it even had the illusion of being stared at by the Temple Master at all times.
Fortunately, at this time, the villagers had carried the temple to the front and then stopped.
The temple door was not opened.
But the leading girl conveyed the Yellow Peril's decree and sang loudly, "The mountain god has ordered that after the show, there will be rewards and blessings for you all. Quickly start the show."
