Chapter 45: God Burial Mound, Great King Huangpi
Chapter 45: God Burial Mound, Great King Huangpi
It was indeed a good show.
A grand show.
Following the girl's order, the curtain on the stage was drawn.
Then, Chen Huangpi saw more familiar faces.
They were the cultivators that Twelfth Madam had brought with her.
Their faces were pale, and they were wearing colorful opera robes. They were actually singing opera on the stage in front of all the evil entities.
The sound was mournful and melodious.
The roles of sheng, dan, jing, mo, and chou took turns to appear on stage.
But the evil entities below the stage were all silent, watching quietly.
Only the twisted figure sitting in the temple would clap and cheer from time to time.The brass oil lamp was mesmerized.
"Good show, I love to watch it!"
"Why can't I watch it?"
Chen Huangpi felt restless.
It was the first time in his life that he had watched an opera, and it was so absurd and strange that he felt it was not interesting at all.
The brass oil lamp said, "You're still young, you can't appreciate it. When you're older, you'll find it interesting. Ah Gui, don't you think so?"
"But I can't watch it either, just like the contract master."
The Soul-Hooking Ghost said, "These cultivators seem to be singing opera, but they are actually long dead. They are just a skin. The one who is really singing is an evil entity. They are just being controlled by the evil entity to make the corresponding movements and mouth shapes."
"That's why it's so good to watch!"
The brass oil lamp gloated. These cultivators were also shameless at that time. Chen Huangpi rode it and opened the way with true fire, but they secretly followed behind without even saying thank you.
They deserved this fate.
Even those few remnants knew to call him "young master."
Listening to the words of the Soul-Hooking Ghost and the brass oil lamp, Chen Huangpi looked carefully.
It was indeed so.
All the cultivators seemed to be like living people, but their skin was pale, and their chests did not rise and fall.
They were obviously long dead.
Most importantly, there were some threads on their shadows.
It was as if an invisible pair of large hands were controlling the skins of these cultivators through their shadows.
Chen Huangpi also gloated, "What grand opera? I think it's clearly a shadow play!"
This time, he was actually watching it.
The more he watched, the more interesting he found it.
Children were like this, they liked new things.
If you asked him to listen to an opera, he wouldn't be able to get into it.
But if you told him that these opera singers were all shadow puppets, controlled by people, he would be interested.
Until the end of the opera, Chen Huangpi was completely mesmerized.
Suddenly, the girl said loudly, "The mountain god has ordered a reward!"
The next second, the skins of the cultivators on the stage all exploded, turning into pieces of flesh and blood, and flew towards all the evil entities.
Each evil entity had a piece.
The flesh and blood was wriggling, and the texture was clearly visible, pink and tender like beef.
All the evil entities swallowed it.
Including the mutated deity statue, which directly threw it into the bloody mouth on its chest and chewed it together with the deity.
A faint yellow halo as thin as a cicada's wing flashed across its body.
The large hole on its head also healed a little.
Seeing this, Chen Huangpi couldn't help but think to himself, "The Yellow Peril's style is so grand. The flesh and blood it rewards seems to be a great supplement for evil entities. If I weren't an evil entity, I would probably be impressed by its style."
At this time, the girl suddenly said to Chen Huangpi, "The mountain god has just arrived here and has prepared a grand show for you all, and has given you all rewards. You have finished watching the show, but you haven't moved. Could it be that you look down on the mountain god's reward?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Huangpi was speechless.
But the girl pressed on, walked forward, and said coldly, "Not eating is disrespectful to the mountain god."
The big-headed evil entity also said, "Great evil entity, eat it! It's delicious!"
All the evil entities were looking at Chen Huangpi.
As if if he didn't eat, they would attack on the spot.
The brass oil lamp said, "Family, eat it. Anyway, you're already strange enough. Just treat it as eating beef."
"You forgot, I don't eat beef."
He casually dismissed the brass oil lamp.
Chen Huangpi then said to the girl, "The mountain god invited me to watch the show. I enjoyed it very much. The mountain god gave me a reward, but I can't eat it."
"Why can't you eat it?"
"Because I'm not hungry."
"Why aren't you hungry?"
"I'm just not hungry."
Chen Huangpi was lying.
In fact, he was already hungry, but the medicine classic said that human flesh was also a kind of medicine.
Medicine is three parts poison.
He was afraid of being poisoned, so he refused to eat it.
And just at that moment, the temple door suddenly opened, and a dark and hoarse voice sounded.
"Great evil entity, I've made a fool of myself!"
As soon as his voice fell, the girl suddenly flew backwards towards the temple door.
"Lord Mountain God, spare my life..."
The temple door closed, and then there was a series of screams that made one's teeth ache, as well as the sound of chewing.
Then, the Yellow Peril's voice sounded again.
"This god has just arrived here and has invited you all to watch a show. You are all this god's honored guests. But this girl has used this god's name to show off and has even dared to be disrespectful to the great evil entity. She deserves to die without a burial place."
The Yellow Peril's words were all to the point.
It simply struck a chord with some of the smart, talkative evil entities.
"Master Huang is truly wise."
"Great evil entity, Master Huang has vented your anger for you!"
Chen Huangpi said nothing.
It wasn't the first time he had seen this Yellow Peril.
The girl was just the Yellow Peril's puppet.
She could be resurrected with a thought after she died.
What kind of venting of anger was that?
Even the words the girl said were just being controlled by the Yellow Peril.
Chen Huangpi sneered in his heart, "This Yellow Peril underestimates me. It wants to play the part of a virtuous and condescending person. It must want to make me its dog. But I'm so smart, how could I fall for it?"
Sure enough, then, Master Huang spoke again.
"Let me tell you all, the reason this god has come here is not only for the rewards, but also for the blessings to be shared with you all."
"Hmph, I don't believe it."
Chen Huangpi was disdainful in his heart. He had already seen through it.
The Yellow Peril must have ulterior motives. The blessings it spoke of were probably bad omens.
But it had only just turned into the Yellow Peril. How would it know where the evil entities gathered?
And it was already a disaster. Why did it have to go to such great lengths to put on this show?
The next second, the Yellow Peril's words cleared his confusion.
"This great evil god, I'm afraid you have all seen it. This god and it are old acquaintances."
Chen Huangpi suddenly understood.
Yes, the fox mountain god and the Yellow Peril were both created by Xu Qingshan. The fox mountain god's memory had the mutated deity statue.
Then the Yellow Peril naturally also had it.
At this time, the brass oil lamp sneered, "It's just flattering itself."
Chen Huangpi said, "How do you know?"
"I'm the same. How would I not know?"
The brass oil lamp said disdainfully, "The mutated deity statue was at least worshipped in the Pure Immortal Temple. It, a defective product that wasn't even consecrated by Huang Yi's lamp oil, even if it became the Yellow Peril, the mutated deity statue would not possibly look up to it. It's just boasting."
Hearing this, Chen Huangpi glanced at the mutated deity statue.
Sure enough, the mutated deity statue hadn't even looked at the Yellow Peril properly. It had been staring at him all along.
Its eyes were fierce, filled with strong malice.
As if it wanted to eat him alive.
Look, this was the look of looking at one's own family.
However, the evil entities bought the Yellow Peril's act.
Since the Yellow Peril said so, they believed it.
One by one, they all listened seriously.
The Yellow Peril continued, "The great evil god told me that there is a god burial mound in these Hundred Thousand Mountains, located at the junction of the Yellow Springs of the netherworld and the human world. It can only be entered a few days before and after the earth dragon turns over. But..."
Speaking of which, the Yellow Peril kept them in suspense and said to Chen Huangpi, "Let the great evil entity know that after this earth dragon turns over, the god burial mound did not return to its junction between the Yellow Springs of the netherworld and the human world."
"This god sees that the great evil entity can speak human words and is extremely intelligent. I wonder if you have a self-proclaimed title?"
"Self-proclaimed title?"
Chen Huangpi thought for a moment and said, "I don't have a self-proclaimed title, but you've reminded me. Then I'll call myself Great King Huangpi."
"..."
The Yellow Peril was silent. It didn't know if this Great King Huangpi was doing it on purpose.
Its true form was a weasel mountain god.
Weasels were also called yellow skins.
So it called itself the Yellow Peril, but Chen Huangpi called himself Great King Huangpi.
Wasn't this trying to one-up it?
Originally, it had already thought about what to say next. It was nothing more than whether this great evil entity had one, or what it called itself.
It would naturally say, "Is the great evil god satisfied with this self-proclaimed title? I think it needs to add the word 'peril'."
But now, it had lost this thought.
"Forget it. I'll endure this Great King Huangpi for a while. When this god has accomplished great things, it won't be too late to kill it."
Thinking of this, the Yellow Peril was unwilling to pay attention to Chen Huangpi and said loudly to the other evil entities, "This god wants to open the god burial mound and take its creation as a blessing, so that all the evil entities in the Hundred Thousand Mountains will have a chance to turn into a disaster."
After speaking, streaks of flowing light instantly flew out of the temple and floated in front of the evil entities.
It was a grain-sized piece of yellow earth.
"In ten days, crush it, and the dust will point the way."
Chen Huangpi took the yellow earth grain. Although he was not interested, all the other evil entities had taken it. It would seem out of place not to take it.
Seeing this, the Yellow Peril was satisfied.
"This god still has to go to other places. In ten days, we will meet again at the god burial mound."
The Yellow Peril came quickly and left quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the puppets carried its temple and left.
Chen Huangpi thought to himself that the Yellow Peril must be going to another place where evil entities gathered to repeat this matter.
It was so bad, it even deceived evil entities!
Seeing this, the other evil entities also dispersed.
The good show was over.
Chen Huangpi had no interest in staying any longer.
He got up and left, but a rumbling sound came from behind him.
It was the mutated deity statue.
"Chen Huangpi, it's following you. Hurry up and go. We won't be so restrained once we're out of the cave."
"I know."
Chen Huangpi was anxious in his heart, and his pace quickened a little.
But the mutated deity statue was always following closely behind him, as if it was determined to get him.
After leaving the stage, they came to the street where they had traded with the good evil entities before.
The street was very wide, and some evil entities were still gathered here and had not left.
Among them was the evil entity whose body was constantly changing.
"Quick, quick, go back."
The Soul-Hooking Ghost's voice sounded in time, and it said nervously, "If you walk over, it will turn into your true form. Something will happen."
Chen Huangpi saw the evil entity.
But it was right in the middle of the road ahead.
No matter how he walked, he had to walk past it. He had also taken a big detour to get around it before.
But now, the mutated deity statue was blocking Chen Huangpi's back.
It was like driving a prey.
How could Chen Huangpi turn back and go around?
And all the evil entities on this street were attracted by the fast-walking Chen Huangpi and the mutated deity statue.
Being stared at by pairs of eyes, Chen Huangpi felt uneasy and could only brace himself and walk forward.
The brass oil lamp shouted, "We can't go any further."
But Chen Huangpi not only did not stop, but he walked even faster.
The endless stream of essence qi between his two kidneys was mobilized by him.
The Grand Duke Demon Slaying sword qi had already gathered at his fingertips.
He was going to kill this evil entity.
But just at that moment, the evil entity suddenly disappeared into the air, as if it had never appeared.
"It didn't disappear. An invisible evil entity walked past it."
The Soul-Hooking Ghost reminded.
Chen Huangpi shouted, "Huang Er, Ah Gui, where is it now?"
"By your side."
The next second, an extremely strange figure suddenly appeared beside Chen Huangpi.
The figure was very small, like a placenta in a mother's body, curled up.
Golden and black marks appeared on its body. The marks were like living things, twisting and changing, as if they were about to form some kind of text.
