Chapter 537: Dongli Kingdom
Dongsheng Shenzhou.
In fact, it has been explained in Buddhism that there is a planet in the four continents, similar to the earth, for all living beings to live, and naturally there are various legends of demons and monsters such as immortals.
Dongsheng Shenzhou, mostly mountains and rivers, poor mountains and bad waters, plus the heaven and earth are abundant, the grass and trees become essences, mountain ghosts and ghosts, all kinds of monsters who become spirits live in the mountains to practice, there are good demons who follow the rules of heaven, and naturally there are evil demons who are responsible for the disaster.
After Xu Ran left Huaguo Mountain, he flew out of the East China Sea and stepped into the continent of Dongsheng Shenzhou, where he saw the customs and customs of various places, and also encountered many monsters.
Xu Ran regarded it as a traveler, like a mortal, walking through the land of Dongsheng Divine Continent, and at the same time inquiring about the residence of Taishang Laojun, but most of the monsters who opened their spiritual wisdom in the mountains answered.
Taishang Laojun is the heavenly court, living in the thirty-three heavens of Lihatetian, in the Tushi Palace.
When Xu Ran heard these news, he shook his head secretly, he already knew that the Taishang Laojun of the Heavenly Court was just a clone of the real Taishang Laojun.
Thinking of this, Xu Ran smiled dumbly, he shouldn't have asked these little demons who had just been born with spiritual wisdom.
How could they possibly know where Taishang Laojun's true residence was.
Dongli country!
This is a small country that Xu Ran has only recently arrived.
On the land of Dongsheng Shenzhou, there are many kingdoms, most of them believe in the gods of heaven, and Dongli Kingdom is a country in the central region of Dongsheng Shenzhou.
Passing through a village, it was noon, but there was no smoke curling in the village, which made Xu Ran a little strange.
Feeling something, Xu Ran stepped into this village, and found that the surrounding villagers were very afraid of outsiders, and when they saw Xu Ran appear, they quickly ran into the grass hut and hid.
Then watch yourself through the crack in the door.
"It's strange, why do you have a particularly strong premonition in the dark to help this village yourself," Xu Ran muttered to himself.
In fact, as an immortal cultivator, although Xu Ran did not be ruthless and desireless, he was not a good person, he did not have the heart of a bodhisattva, and there were many calamities and difficulties in the world, and he couldn't help him with the power of one person.
Xu Ran traveled all the way and found that the regions were different, some places were poor, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, while some places were very poor and there were many refugees, but Xu Ran never thought of helping these refugees tide over the difficulties.
But now seeing this village, Xu Ran seems to sense that there is a call in the dark, let himself enter this village, understand everything that happened in the village, and then help them.
"By the way, in Journey to the West, there seems to be a mysterious thing called merit, and doing more good deeds will increase merit, which is a rather mysterious thing," Xu Ran muttered to himself.
In "Journey to the West", there are many mortals who have done good deeds since childhood, and their merits are immeasurable, and in the end, they will rise to the ground and become immortals.
Although doing more good deeds and having heavenly merits in the dark sounds a bit mysterious, Xu Ran has to believe it, after all, "Journey to the West" is a rather mysterious world.
And now Xu Ran felt that the things here seemed to have to be done by him, which was an extremely mysterious feeling.
"Uncle, dare to ask what happened in your village, why are you so afraid of people" Xu Ran looked at a woodcutter who was about sixty years old carrying firewood and wearing shabby clothes.
Suddenly seeing a stranger appear in front of him, the very old woodcutter immediately collapsed and sat on the ground, with a thick look of horror in his eyes: "Don't eat me, don't eat me."
"Uncle, you can see clearly, I'm not a monster, I can't eat people," Xu Ran smiled.
Hearing the woodcutter's words, Xu Ran knew in his heart that there were monsters in this village.
Xu Ran was originally in the realm of heavenly immortals, with deep blessings and immortal energy, unlike similar monsters with a very strong demonic aura, mortals would involuntarily be afraid when they felt the demonic aura.
Xu Ran's breath was peaceful, and he did not show a hideous or vicious face, and the panicked woodcutter slowly calmed down.
"You, you're really not a monster," the woodcutter asked cautiously.
Xu Ran smiled helplessly and said, "Uncle, if I were a monster and wanted to eat people, I would still be unable to talk to you, and I would have swallowed you in one bite a long time ago."
Hearing Xu Ran's words, the woodcutter's body trembled, but he also really relaxed.
"Uncle, if you tell me what happened here, maybe I can help you," Xu Ran smiled.
"Young man, since you are an outsider, hurry up, we have a monster here, this monster will eat people and dig out their hearts, everyone in our village is about to be eaten by him, most of the young people have fled, and the rest are like our old ones, so they will wait in the village to die" When the woodcutter said this, there was a look of fear and resentment in his eyes.
It seems that the youkai in this place have a deep hatred.
"Uncle, tell me what kind of monster is entrenched here, since I am passing by here, I can't watch it," Xu Ran asked.
"Young man, you better leave quickly, the king sent 5,000 troops to exterminate the monster, but he was caused by the monster and drowned in the river, this monster is powerful, we mortals are the opponents of the monster" The woodcutter's eyes showed a look of despair.
Subsequently, the woodcutter gave Xu Ran a general explanation, originally their village had no quarrel with the world, the sun rose and the sun set, and there was a river next to it, called Liuhe, where people could farm and fish, and their lives were not moist.
But since three years ago, a water snake spirit suddenly came to entrench in the Liuhe River, and then their village would lose children in three days, and finally they learned that they were dragged into the water by the water snake spirit to eat.
There was a monster eating incident, the local village chief went to report to the government, and the king ordered to send 5,000 elite soldiers to the village to eliminate the water snake spirit, but he didn't expect the water snake spirit to roll up dozens of huge waves and flood the village.
The power of this great wave was infinite, and the five thousand elite soldiers sent by the king were wounded and died.
At the same time, hundreds of elite soldiers were swept away with their tails, and they all drowned.
The king was furious, and finally worshiped the father-in-law of the land of Dongli Kingdom, hoping that the father-in-law of the land would go out and collect the water snake spirit that was making waves, but the father-in-law of the land did not react, as if he could not sense the king's worship.
You must know that in the past, when there was a monster eating incident, as long as the king worshiped the land father, the next day the monster would be killed by the land father or driven out of the Dongli country.
But when he encountered this water snake spirit, the king worshiped the father-in-law of the land as usual, but the father-in-law of the land did not appear.
In the end, the father-in-law of the land entrusted the dream to the king, and said in embarrassment, this water snake essence is strong, and his land lord is not an opponent, let the king worship the immortal god in the sky, and let the heavenly court send the immortal god to subdue the water snake essence.
But the immortals in the sky are high, how can they care about such a trivial matter.
In the end, the water snake spirit lived in Liuhe and remained at large, and no one dared to care.
