The Great Wei Music Bureau

Chapter 368: Fate Warning

Last time, we talked about how Li Yi used the King Gu disaster to attack the Witch Cult, and the King of Chu summoned him and Lan Ze to mediate. So how will the story develop next? Let's read on.

In Chuxing Hall, Li Yi and Lan Ze had just finished their ceremony.

The King of Chu said, "Wei Le, why did you go to Zhuqing Pavilion to cause trouble again?"

"Your Majesty, how can this be considered a disturbance? His Wu Gu Cult leader Wang Gu fled from Dianzhou to Qinglong Mountain, and I don't know how many innocent people he killed along the way. I am pleading for the people!"

"Pleading for the people? From Dianzhou to Baidi City, no government agency at any level has reported this to the government. How can we say that Wang Gu is causing harm?"

Seeing the King of Chu protecting him, Lan Ze raised his lips and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise! We have been looking for the King Gu. If there was really a disaster, how could we not know about it? Until now, I still don't understand why the King Gu ran to Qinglong Mountain quietly. Could it be that someone did it deliberately?"

As he spoke, Lan Ze looked at Li Yi, but quickly ruled him out as a suspicion, so he naturally began to suspect Grandma Lan Die. However, this big shot had left the Wu Gu Cult for many years, and there was no conflict between the Tiancan Sect and the Wu Gu Cult, so she had no reason to do this.

"Your Majesty, do you think I am being unreasonable? Then I ask Your Majesty to open your eyes and see the true face of the Witchcraft Cult!"

Li Yi's words interrupted Lan Ze's thoughts. He made a seal with his hands, a blue light flashed on his palms, and he stepped on the ground with one foot and shouted, "Spiritual Manifestation Array, rise!"

A Tai Chi diagram appeared with him as the center, and gradually expanded as it rotated, enveloping Lan Ze. The latter felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to jump out of the formation.

But Li Yi had already used the ink fountain technique to write a word "ding" and pushed it towards Lan Ze, who was bound by spiritual power and righteousness and could not move at all.

Li Yi walked to Lan Ze's side, stretched out his hand and touched her forehead, and a faint blue light appeared around Lan Ze. Li Yi used the Soul Hammer technique and pushed Lan Ze's vest with one hand, and the latter's soul left her body.

Lan Ze was conscious at this time, and she could see the soul floating in front of her. Not only her, but everyone in the hall could see it.

Li Yi revealed his soul and stood opposite Lan Ze. He pointed at the four abnormalities on her soul and said, "These are where your Gu worms are. Although I don't know what kind of Gu you have in your body, they are sucking your soul. The more you use Gu magic, the faster they will suck it.

When they inhale to a certain extent, you will lose your self-awareness and completely become a puppet of the Gu God. Even now, the Gu God can change your mind at will! This is why I showed you the world after the Gu God was resurrected, but you are still working for the Wu Gu Cult. "

There is a centipede-shaped black shadow on the head of Lan Ze's soul, the shadow on the vest shows the outline of a spider, there is a scorpion on the left shoulder, and a snake on the right arm.

King Xiong Zhen of Chu looked at the four shadows on Lan Ze's soul and asked, "Wei Le, was Lan Ze's soul eaten by the poisonous insect?"

Li Yi nodded and said, "That's right. The more souls the poisonous insect eats, the bigger it grows. Your Majesty, the prince is very close to the Wu Gu Cult, and I heard that the Wu Gu Cult intends to help the prince ascend to the extraordinary realm. I don't know about this..."

The King of Chu interrupted Li Yi with his hand, and Hou Zhen waved his hand to signal everyone in the hall to leave. Li Yi put away the Lingxian Formation and let go of Lan Ze, and Hou Zhen helped Lan Ze out of the hall.

Xiong Zhen asked: "Where did you hear about this?"

"No one said it explicitly, I guessed it myself."

"Have you told anyone else?"

"I am not stupid, but I am afraid it is not very smart for the prince to agree to do this."

King Chu sighed and said, "I didn't know before that this poisonous insect would feed on the soul!"

"Not only does the Gu God feed on souls, it also absorbs the power of faith. Hasn't the king noticed that the luck of the Chu State is weakening?"

"Yes, you know the art of destiny, so it's most appropriate to ask you about this. Before the Northern Expedition, I cast the tripod and asked the heavens for help, but it failed three times. However, after the great elder of the Wu Gu Sect, Kan Jin, saw it, he used some method, and it succeeded the fourth time. Otherwise, I would not have agreed to the Northern Expedition.

But recently, this Cauldron of Luck has been experiencing strange phenomena, with humming and trembling, and smoke rising in broad daylight. I have asked the people at the Imperial Observatory, and they have given me all sorts of explanations, but none of them are the correct answer. What do you think this means?"

"Your Majesty, please take me there to have a look. Otherwise, I cannot make any firm judgment."

So, the King of Chu brought Li Yi to the Jingtian Hall, which was the hall where the Qiyun Cauldron of Chu was stored and the royal family offered sacrifices to heaven. The courtyard was large, but there were nine bronze tripods that were not too big.

The tripod cast by the monarch carries the destiny of the country and the human race, and the number is nine and five. The Southern Liang and Northern Wei both cast five tripods, while the Western Chu, the smallest country with the smallest area and population, cast nine. I don't know what the King of Chu was thinking. Of course, these nine tripods are not big, otherwise the lack of destiny will breed disasters.

Li Yi walked between the Nine Cauldrons and used the art of looking at qi to examine the qi in the cauldrons. He found that the qi in the cauldrons was like waves, constantly rolling from the southwest and hitting the inner walls of the cauldrons. As for the sounds and vibrations, they were caused by different impact frequencies.

After watching for a while, Li Yi bowed to the King of Chu and said, "Your Majesty, please dismiss your attendants and order someone to guard outside the courtyard. There are some things that are not convenient for outsiders to know."

The King of Chu immediately waved his hand, and everyone in the Jingtian Hall retreated to the outside of the courtyard. The palace guards were on high alert. The chief eunuch Hou Zhen stood guard at the gate with a serious face. Everyone understood that there was no small matter in the Jingtian Hall.

Li Yi condensed his own human luck into a dragon, and immediately drew out the human dragon energy of the King of Chu. When the golden dragon condensed, this time it did not go to play with Li Yi's blue dragon, but wandered back and forth between the nine tripods, looking particularly restless.

Upon seeing this, the King of Chu quickly asked, "Wei Le, what is going on?"

Li Yi stretched out his hand to signal the King of Chu to wait, and walked towards the golden dragon. Unlike the golden dragon, the blue dragon around him was unusually calm, even a little steady like an old dog.

This is because Li Yi's blue dragon was created from the human destiny of the Southern Liang and Northern Wei dynasties. It has gone through the refinement of the skills of the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and has seen a lot of the world, so it is naturally much more stable.

Li Yi stretched out his hand to signal the golden dragon to come over, and the latter immediately came to the blue dragon for comfort. As Li Yi raised his hand and spit out a breath of dragon, the golden dragon immediately calmed down a lot. Li Yi stretched out his hand and touched the golden dragon's nostrils, closed his eyes and felt the reason for its restlessness.

In an instant, the golden dragon's consciousness was projected onto Li Yi's spiritual platform. The golden dragon saw the image of the Martial Saint and King behind Li Yi as if it had found a life-saving straw, and circled around the image, up and down, several times.

Li Yi shouted, "Don't fly anymore. We can communicate with each other through our souls here. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly! Just tell me what's wrong with the Qiyun Cauldron."

"It's the demon tribe! Li Yi, the demon tribe will invade Jiuzhou from Nanyue! Moreover, the poisonous insects in Sanmiao land will be nourished by the spirit of the Golden Crow and will give birth to many demons. The Chu State is in danger!"

"You can tell this just from your luck?"

"You know I am originally a demon beast. In the late stage of the war between humans and demons, I was refined into dragon energy by Empress Tai'an. This was the state of human luck during the decisive battle. Didn't you notice that luck was rolling from southwest to northeast?

This is the warning from your human race's luck and national destiny. Originally, the luck of the Western Chu nation could not suppress the monsters that were about to appear in the territory, and Xiong Zhu even sent his troops to the north, so the Cauldron of Luck became restless! "

"What about the Western Regions? Can the luck of the Great Wei Dynasty suppress the monster tribes in both the Western Regions and the Wei Kingdom?"

"That should be no problem. The situation in Western Chu is different from that in Northern Wei. Northern Wei still has Buddhism and Taoism, and both religions will send people to slay demons. Western Chu has nothing, not to mention the poisonous insects of the Wu Gu Cult and the invasion of the demon tribe of Nanyue. It's impossible to suppress it!"

"Witchcraft? Do you think they might have used some tricks?"

"It can't be witchcraft. I'm worried it's something more terrifying."

"What's more terrifying? That can only be the Gu God! Is the Gu God going to be resurrected?"

"I can't say for sure. The Gu God is an ancient demon god, and I can't see through him. But it is certain that the Gu insect has transformed into a demon, and Gu demons are not the same as ordinary demons. You should prepare as soon as possible!"

"Okay, I'll find a way. Do you know the approximate time?"

"It's hard to say, it could take three months at the earliest or a year at the latest. However, as long as you can do it, I will be relieved. I am just afraid that you will suddenly return to Northern Wei and ignore Chu.

With your Heaven-Slaying Sun-Shooting Bow, those demons are nothing to worry about. Let’s make a deal, you can’t ignore the demons’ affairs!”

"I'm curious why you care so much about the safety of Chu."

"If the Chu Kingdom is gone, my soul will be scattered and turned into dust, which is no different from being torn into pieces. I don't want to suffer that!"

"Okay. Hey, what would you do if Northern Wei destroyed Western Chu?"

"Let me put it this way, if you really have a way to persuade Western Chu to surrender, then I can suffer less. If you must fight to the last soldier, then it will be the same. So, Li Yi, you know what to do, right?" After saying this, Jin Long looked at Li Yi expectantly, as if waiting for his promise.

Li Yi sighed, reached out and touched the golden dragon's head, shook his head and sighed: "I understand." After that, he smashed the golden dragon into pieces with one palm.

The golden dragon's consciousness returned to reality, nodded at Li Yi, then turned into dragon energy and flew back into the bear pillar.

The King of Chu asked, "How is it?"

Li Yi bowed helplessly and said, "If Your Majesty does not withdraw the Shenxi Army, I am afraid that the State of Chu will be finished."

"Please tell me clearly what's going on!"

"The demon tribe will cause chaos in the southwest, and the poisonous insects of the Wu Gu Cult will also get out of control. There is no regular army in Miaojiang. How can the security teams of each village and stockade of the San Miao stop the demon army?

Once the demon army attacks, it will take less than a month to wipe out the Miao territory. If the Shenxi army hasn't returned by then, I really don't know how to deal with it."

"What about the Wu Gu Cult? The Wu Gu Cult has seven elders in the Transcendent Realm, and the High Priest You Tu even possesses the strength of the Second Rank. Can't they stop the demon race?"

"Your Majesty, I just said that the poisonous insects of the Wu Gu Cult will get out of control, and they will be unable to take care of themselves."

"What, what should I do?" The King of Chu sat on the steps, staring at the buzzing Nine Cauldrons in a daze.

Seeing that the King of Chu still couldn't make up his mind, Li Yi sighed and said, "Your Majesty can think about it for a few days. I will take Lan Ze to Qinglong Mountain to appease the local people. If Your Majesty has not made up his mind by then, I will have no other choice."

Li Yi bowed and said goodbye, leaving the King of Chu alone in the Jingtian Palace. Li Yi was blocked by Jing Xin at the gate of the palace. She had been waiting at the gate for a long time. When she saw Li Yi coming out, she directly pulled him into the car without any intention of avoiding it.

There were only two of them in the car, and Li Yi asked, "Where are you taking me?"

"Did the king really let you take up a post at the Tianshu Court?"

"You are well-informed. Why are you in such a hurry to ask me to marry you?"

"On the night of your moon sacrifice, my uncle was beside the king and knew the king's will. After learning that you entered the palace, my father asked me to take you to see him. I don't know why my father wanted to see you."

Li Yi said unhappily: "How? It seems that you are not serious about the marriage proposal. Well, I am not in a hurry! Anyway, I have done everything I should and shouldn't do!"

Jing Xin blushed and said, "I warn you not to talk nonsense! Especially in front of my father, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

"Hey, you've grown up, you dare to threaten me! See how I deal with you!" After saying that, Li Yi and Jing Xin started to play around. Don't expect anything, it's just pure teasing, nothing else.

When they arrived at the Jing residence, Li Yi naturally got out of the car first, and then waited for Jing Xin to put her clothes in order before respectfully helping her out of the car. Jing Xin rolled her eyes at him and cursed softly, "You bastard! You hypocrite!"

Li Yi was not ashamed but proud: "Miss Jing, if you have any instructions, just tell me." Jing Xin spat at him, and the two of them walked into the mansion.
