Chapter 177: Fallen

The vixen felt a pain in his chest and knew he was cursed. She told King Tan that Gongzi Long Shu had invited puppets and spirit talismans, and cursed her and King Tan day and night, hoping that they would die early and take over as soon as possible. King Tan was suspicious, came to the residence of Gongzi Long Shu, pretended to come over to take a look, and while Long Shu was unprepared, he found two puppets at the head of his bed, on which were written the names and birthdays of King Tan and the fox spirit. King Tan was furious, thinking that Gongzi Long Shu was cursing him. Long Shu defended that the functions of the two puppets were different, and he was just cursing the fox spirit and praying for his father. King Tan didn't believe it, and ordered the guards to beat Gongzi Long Shu with fifty sticks.

Another time, King Tan went out to inspect the work, and the fox spirit lied that there was a thief in King Tan's bedroom, and asked Long Shu to come and catch the thief. Long Shu didn't know that this was the fox spirit's plan, so he took a weapon and brought a dozen guards to the palace of King Tan to catch the thief. The fox spirit found the king of Tan and cried profusely, saying that the son rebelled and besieged the palace with weapons, wanting to kill her and the king of Tan and take the throne as soon as possible. King Tan hurriedly returned to the dormitory, and sure enough, when he saw Long Shu entering the dormitory with weapons, he was furious and ordered Long Shu to be arrested. King Tan also has the son of his second aunt, so he doesn't have to worry about his successor. A few days later, Long Shu was ordered to commit suicide. Poor Tan King's successor, Gongzi Long Shu died in a daze at the hands of the fox spirit. Mrs. Tan Wang got this bad news, and since then she has been ill and dying.

King Tan later learned what happened, regretted killing his son Long Shu by mistake, and sprinkled all his grievances on the fox spirit, and was about to break the fox spirit into thousands of pieces, but the fox spirit was rescued by the Yin Devouring King. It turned out that the fox spirit was the traitor sent to the Water Palace by the Yin Devouring King, and the purpose was to use her to mess up the Water Palace, so that he could take advantage of the situation to enter and occupy the Water Palace.

The king of Tan was very angry with the witch who made the puppet, and when he came to her stone house, he saw the witch looking pampered, and started a nameless fire, and said, "Grandma is so elegant, how are you doing lately?" ”

"King Tuotan's blessing, I'm doing well here." The witch said.

"You're doing well, I'm miserable with you!" The king of Tan stepped forward and overturned the small stool on which the witch was sitting, and the witch fell coldly.

The witch's maid, Rue, helped her up and said, "The king has always respected Grandma very much, I don't know why this is the case today? ”

King Tan took the whip from the hand of his attendant, beat the witch several times, and said to the bleeding witch, "It's all your fault for the puppet you made, which caused discord between our father and son!" ”

The witch already enjoyed a high status in the Qinglong Pond Water Palace, but the king of Tan was angry and lost his mind, not only beating the witch, but also declaring that he would marry her to the bad old man in the village.

In the days when the king of Tan was bewitched by the fox spirit, many loyal subordinates were either removed from their posts or exiled, and the Qinglong Pond Water Palace was made into a miasma. Jiaolong, who was studying in Qinglong Pond, died in this accident. The Jiaolong that Hu Kehao and He Xin called Uncle Bai was formed from a place with difficult conditions from a giant python's hard cultivation, it had no background, just like a poor mountain village in the countryside, it was not easy to get a doctor in Liuyang.

Jiaolong worked in the water conservancy department of the Water Palace, at first he did some miscellaneous things, and later his ability was gradually reflected and he took charge of an important position in the water conservancy department. Jiaolong is accustomed to natural disasters such as drought and floods in the countryside, and it hopes that under its work, it can make the people have a good wind and rain and a good harvest every year. However, the reality is that the distribution of rain across the earth is extremely uneven, and the polarization is extremely severe, with floods drowning in some places and droughts drowning people in others.

Jiaolong implemented a reform in the hope of equalizing the distribution of rainwater. Unfortunately, the reformers led by Jiaolong were seriously attacked by conservatives. Where there is reform, there will be failure, and there will be sacrifice. We know that Shang Ying changed the law, and Shang Yang finally broke and died; Wu Qi changed the law, and Wu Qi finally died with an arrow through his heart; Wang Anshi changed the law, and finally hated Banshantang and vomited blood and died; Wuxu changed the law, and the six gentlemen of Wuxu were beheaded. At first, the king of Tan supported Jiaolong to implement reforms, but he was confused by the fox spirit, and the king of Tan blamed Jiaolong for all the mistakes of the reform, and killed Jiaolong.

The king of Qinglongtan was hit by the pain of losing his son, and became more and more mediocre, causing the rebellion of his relatives and the decline of the Qinglongtan Water Palace. Finally, one day, the Yin Devouring King gathered the stragglers and lonely ghosts who had been defeated by the Netherworld, and slaughtered the Qinglong Pond Water Palace. It was night, and the people in the water palace were sleeping, and no one expected that the water palace would be attacked. The guards were asleep, and after the lonely ghost entered the water palace, he directly possessed them. They have lost their ability to resist and are at the mercy of the Eater King.

The big bell rang in the water palace, and the king of Tan summoned the palace guards to fight, but only a third of the guards were present, and the other guards were possessed by ghosts and did not obey orders. The Yin Devouring King summoned two-thirds of the guards under his control, put on clothes of another color, and fought against the one-third of the guards commanded by the King of Tan. The number of guards led by King Tan was small, and he couldn't defeat the guards controlled by the Yin Devouring King, and after a few rounds, King Tan gradually gained the upper hand.

"Warriors, unite and attack the enemy! Resist the invaders and protect our homeland! King Tan shouted.

The Yin Devouring King fought a heart-to-heart battle and shouted at the other party: "Warriors, when the fox spirit bewitched your Tan King, your Tan King framed Zhongliang and did nothing wrong, do you still have to die for him now?" ”

"That's right! The king of Tan does not know that there is a people, then the people do not know that there is a king of Tan, why should we die for him? The mutinous soldier in Qinglongtan said.

"You guys who eat inside and out! King Tan usually treats you well, don't be careful! The soldiers loyal to the King of Tan fought valiantly, attacking both the Yin Devouring King and the mutinous soldiers, shouting, "This is the fate of the mutineers!" ”

Under the instigation of the Yin Devouring King, there were constantly guards on the side of the King of Tan who defected. The king of the pond couldn't resist it, and ordered the shrimp soldiers and crabs in the Qinglong Pond to come to meet him. The Yin Devouring King had long expected that the King of the Pool would have this move, and he launched his internal strength and applied the technique of "heat death" to freeze the water of the Qinglong Pond, and the shrimp soldiers and crabs would not be able to enter the Water Palace to help in the battle. This is exactly the reason why Chen Song was scolded and corporal punishment by his father, and jumped into Qinglongtan to commit suicide but failed.

The guards of the King of Tan became fewer and fewer, and all the remaining were killed in battle. The King of Tan was finally defeated and captured by the King of Yin Devour. Some of the guards controlled by the Yin Devourer King also died, and the total number of guards in the end was only half of the original. The sacrificial guards were killed by the lonely ghosts, or rather, they killed each other, which is the viciousness of the Yin Devourer. Although the Yin Devourer won the battle, he didn't know what to do with the remaining half of the soldiers. Lonely spirits must not remain attached to them, or the host will eventually die. If all the ghosts on the guards are released, I am afraid that they will defect and will not be able to clean up the mess.

The Yin Devourer King had his own way, among the remaining guards, he first let the ghosts on one-third of the guards unattach, even if they all resisted, they couldn't defeat the other two-thirds of the guards. After a few soldiers got rid of the ghost, they scolded the Yin Devourer King and wanted to fight him desperately, and the Yin Devourer King was furious and killed all these guards. After the ghosts of the rest of the guards were disattached one by one, the guards who fought on the spot were all killed, and the other guards were silent. The Eater King had complete control over the remaining guards, and at least on the surface, they didn't resist.

The King of the Shadow Devourer was uneasy, fearing that the remaining guards would be disloyal to him and might rebel at any time. The Yin Devourer King has a pot and a saw on the main hall, and whenever he gets drunk, he must kill people to be happy. And he was drunk from morning till night, so he had to kill people non-stop from morning till night. The servants and guards of the Water Palace died tragically every day in his wrath. He grabbed the guards who looked unpleasant and felt like they were about to rebel, and with an order, all heads brushed and landed at the same time. Under the bloody suppression, the Yin Devouring King used some gentle policies, and his rule in the Qinglongtan Water Palace gradually stabilized. Later, when the Yin Devouring King went to the Stone Buddha Temple to enjoy the incense offerings, Hong Daoshi found him using the Demon Suppression Mirror, and he fled back to the Qinglongtan Water Palace.
