Chapter 34: Immortals
"Li Shun is still making trouble?" Lu Yu knows very well that the "Ghost Yaksha" Li Shun has been dead for almost 130 years, and what Lu Yu can't figure out is that even if Li Shun turns into an evil ghost after his death, then he has been harming the world for more than 100 years, so no master has noticed him and "dealt with" him.
"Hey......" Chenghuang Yumo, who understood what Lu Yu was thinking, shook his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, this is not the first time I have dealt with the evil demon Li Shun, I remember, that year, Li Shun, who had just turned into an evil ghost after his death, began to make trouble in our Shudi, and soon, he was defeated by our priest of the underworld, but Li Shun is quite cunning, although our priest of the underworld defeated him, but he did not catch him, and he ran away......"
"What about later......" Lu Yu, who felt more and more curious the more he listened, asked Chenghuang Yumo in a low voice.
"Later, every few years, the evil demon Li Shun would run out of the shadows where he was hiding, and once again for the sake of harming the world, the reason why he repeatedly came out to harm people, one is because, now he is essentially an evil spirit, he will do nothing but do evil, and the second is because, every time the evil demon Li Shun is defeated by us, his strength will be greatly weakened, so, in order to restore his strength, he must come out to absorb the evil qi on the wicked person, gradually, he learned to possess himself, and control others to do evil to absorb the evil qi......"
"This means that every time Li Shun comes out to make trouble again, after absorbing the lessons of the last time, he has become more vigilant and cautious, and it is more difficult to deal with......" After listening to Chenghuang Yumo's explanation, Lu Yu squinted his eyes and sighed.
"That's right......" Regarding the judgment given by Lu Yu, Chenghuang Yumo nodded in agreement.
"In that case, with the combined strength of you and the kid, can you beat the evil demon Li Shun?" Lu Yu, who was deeply skeptical of his strength, asked Chenghuang Yumo in a low voice.
"It's hard to ...... But...... Taking advantage of the time when Chang Hua, who was possessed by Li Shun, left, I will find some more people to help......" After looking down and thinking for a moment, Chenghuang Yumo muttered.
"That...... Dare to ask Lord Chenghuang ......" After also muttering for a while, Lu Yu asked Yumo in a low voice: "My strength is so weak, why do you want me to help......
"Young Master Lu doesn't have to be presumptuous, at such a young age, the person who has cultivated to the point where you are now, in the more than 200 years that I have been a city god, I have not seen anyone else except you, I think that with your creation, it is possible for you to become an immortal, and in the future, you will definitely not be like me, just be a little god and it will come to an end......" Chenghuang Yumo, who wanted Lu Yu to help him do things, was of course not stingy with praise when he praised Lu Yu.
"Huh? Are immortals different from gods? Lu Yu, who originally thought that gods and immortals were the same kind of high-level lifeforms, suddenly changed his worldview after listening to Chenghuang Yumo's words, and in order to understand the doubts in his happiness, Lu Yu hurriedly asked Yumo back.
"It's not the same ......" After a faint smile, Chenghuang Yumo explained to Lu Yu in a low voice: "Meritorious creatures can become gods after death, and they are creatures in the evil world, and they are ghosts after death, gods and ghosts are actually almost the same, the difference is only whether there is merit in life, and immortals are creatures who cultivate their physical bodies to the same level of longevity as heaven and earth, and cultivating immortals is the most potential way to cultivate, after all, gods and ghosts have no physical bodies, they can only cultivate their souls, and immortals have both souls and bodies, so cultivating immortals can cultivate souls, You can also cultivate the physical body, which is of course more powerful than the gods and ghosts who can only cultivate the soul, and their strength and potential are of course more powerful......"
"Oh......" Lu Yu, who had learned another lesson, suddenly nodded his head after listening to Chenghuang Yumo's explanation.
"I asked Young Master Lu for your help, not only because of your good strength, but also because you have infinite potential, I think that if you only work behind closed doors at home, then your cultivation speed must be limited, and you must go through continuous actual combat, you will progress faster, and the future will ......" After smiling at Lu Yu slightly, Chenghuang Yumo told Lu Yu his true intention to ask Lu Yu for help.
"Lord Xie Chenghuang......" From Chenghuang Yumo's words, Lu Yu heard that he had the idea of cultivating himself, so Lu Yu got up and made a big bow to Yumo.
"Young Master Lu doesn't have to be polite...... "After getting up as well, Chenghuang Yumo returned Lu Yu's salute and whispered to Lu Yu: "Actually, I am also a little selfish in dealing with the evil demon Li Shun......
Of course, Lu Yu, who knew that Chenghuang Yumo had selfish intentions, just had a high emotional intelligence and didn't ask him directly, because Lu Yu knew very well that it was taboo to ask others what their selfishness was, not to mention, this "other" was still a high-ranking official in the underworld, and in the officialdom, it was even more taboo to ask this kind of thing, and it was not good......
"Sit down and say ......" After Lu Yu sat down, Chenghuang Yumo also slowly sat back on the futon, and then, in an imperceptible voice, he said to Lu Yu: "Originally, dealing with such a big thing as the evil demon Li Shun, I should have reported it to my Shangguan to know, and I should have asked Shangguan to send a great god to help us, but I didn't do it because I knew that if I could get rid of Li Shun independently, then the credit I got would definitely be not small, and this credit would definitely make me take a step further, do you know, Young Master Lu, I've been a county town god for a long time, I'm tired of it, I also want to be a city god of a state city, or even, a city god of the capital, or ......"
"Well, I understand, I am also a scholar on the road of scientific research, I can understand the feelings of adults, we are all aggressive, this is not wrong, you should do this......" Although I didn't agree with Chenghuang Yumo's words too much, Lu Yu, who had already boarded the "thief ship", agreed with Chenghuang Yumo.
"Young Master Lu is really my bosom friend......" Chenghuang Yumo, who thought that Lu Yu would be slightly dissatisfied because of his selfishness, did not expect that the third young master of the Lu family opposite him would agree with his opinion very much after listening to his words, and immediately, a relieved smile appeared on Yumo's face, he felt that he had found the right person.
"That's right......" Lu Yu, who had no interest in being the bosom friend of the City God, changed the topic and asked him after nodding and smiling at Yumo: "When I first came in, didn't you say that there were two things to discuss with me, the first thing was to deal with the evil demon Li Shun, and the second thing was ......"
"Right...... I have one more important matter to discuss with you," After receiving Lu Yu's reminder, Chenghuang Yumo realized that he still had something to say, so he changed his expression, and asked Lu Yu in a serious tone with a solemn demeanor: "Young Master Lu, are you willing to ......?"
