Chapter 22: Snowballing
The middle part of Wangxiangdai.
The aura of the fallen god in the dark red flesh powder unsurprisingly stimulated the ghost generals who were guarding here.
In the depths of the darkness, with the two beast roars, two pairs of scarlet eyes suddenly lit up.
The three people who were still standing in the elevator still couldn't see the scene in front of them clearly, and could only vaguely observe two huge bodies more than ten meters in a row, each holding a steel fork, and the iron halberd waved downward, the tip of which pointed directly at the place where the flesh and blood powder were scattered.
Behind them, there seemed to be something else, but it was so far away that only a few outlines could be seen.
The powder, which had been in a state of scattering a second ago, froze in mid-air as if it had been immobilized.
"Patrol White Envoy, it's up to you next."
Zhou Lao, who had completed the pre-steps, turned sideways, blinked, and motioned for Bai Ruosu to step forward.
Although he had never experienced such a scene, as a judge and inspector, Bai Ruosu quickly understood what Zhou Lao meant, and decisively stepped forward to occupy the vacant seat he took the initiative to concede.
Raising his hands above his head, forming a unique Dharma seal of the underworld, the whole person then leaned forward and bowed, and said loudly,
"The judge inspector, Bai Ruosu, implore the ghost of the underworld to restore the remnants of this flesh and blood powder!"
The moment the words fell, a beam of light suddenly fell from the two pairs of scarlet eyes, reflecting on the powder.
A shrill roar rang out.
The eyes of the three of them looked at the source in unison, and they saw that there was a translucent phantom inside the powder that was forcibly dragged out by a certain force, and in an instant, it transformed into the appearance of the Bodhisattva who had seen it in Sun's dyeing workshop before.
There is no doubt that Zhou Lao's speculation is accurate.
The anomaly of these devotional incense is rooted in the transformation of these fallen god-mad believers who sacrifice their own flesh and blood.
Almost at the same time that the image of this fallen god appeared, the ghost cha who was in charge of verifying his identity in the corridor not long ago reappeared, and threw out more than a dozen chains under the heavy robe, completely locking the remnant soul of the fallen god and dragging it into the dark depths of Wangxiangtai.
The test was completed, and Zhou Lao started the elevator again.
Taking advantage of this brief pause, a flash of light flashed in Yan Jing's eyes, trying to see clearly the scene in the darkness ahead.
There is no way, the torch has not given a hint of the partial completion of the main quest two.
Regardless of where the Sealed Domain Gate should come from, Yan Jing was really unsure if he would have a chance to come here.
However, even if the [Cave Void] that opened Lu Wu's golden eyes, the result was still unsatisfactory, and this place was obviously shrouded by the energy of the underworld, shielding all the perception of the outside world.
It was obviously impossible to forcibly stay, seeing that it was difficult to observe the core manufacturing technology of Qianxin Incense, Yan Jing could only remain silent in desperation, and returned to Yongdao with Zhou Lao and Bai Ruosu.
"I'm afraid it's another disaster, Shinto. What a damn one! ”
The test was completed, and his suspicions were verified, but Zhou Lao's face did not have the slightest relaxed look, and he leaned back against the elevator and said with a gloomy expression.
"It's just a group of petty people, we have collected key evidence in Sun's Dyeing Workshop last night, as long as we can decipher it, we will soon be able to dig out that group of paranoid fanatical believers."
Bai Ruosu was naturally talking about the account book, which recorded the whereabouts of a considerable number of extremely pious incense, and the people who needed to use such items must be organizations related to the Shinto people, and they just took this opportunity to wipe them out.
"I'm afraid it's not that easy."
Glancing at Bai Ruosu, who was confident, Zhou Lao seemed a little pessimistic, and after a short silence, he continued,
"White Patrol Envoy, I am not a member of the Three Dharma Divisions, but I have also learned quite a lot about the Shinto people because of the pious incense. In the past, they were extremely suppressed by the cooperation between the underworld and the human world, but behind this group of people is obviously supported by the power of evil, and they dare to do it before the big festival, in my opinion, they must have come prepared. ”
has been dormant for many years, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible just to grab this batch of pious incense.
"Elder Zhou, there is something I want to ask you, to what extent can the pious incense enhance the power of the fallen gods?"
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Bai Ruosu asked.
"Theoretically speaking, as long as you continue to use the incense of piety, the ability of a fallen god who has received a large amount of the power of faith in a short period of time is immeasurable."
The incense itself is a key item in the cooperation between the human world and the underworld.
The power of faith contained in it is an extremely important "tonic" for both the gods of the underworld and the fallen gods.
It can even be said to be the source of power.
"It's just that the power of faith that the fallen gods absorb through the extraordinary pious incense is plundered after all, like rootless duckweed, once consumed, they will be immediately beaten back to their original form, and only those fanatical believers can be influenced."
The Hades Mansion is supported by the entire Mansion, which is why it has its current status.
Where can those fallen gods who have been defeated by the evil of another world be able to compare?
"It is not difficult to speculate that their purpose of robbing a large number of pious incense and renovating and distributing them in the shadows is nothing more than to gather more accomplices and pursue a strong outbreak in the short term, in a vain attempt to reverse the situation."
After being reminded by Zhou Lao, Bai Ruosu connected the clues found so far one by one.
"There's only one thing worth doing in a short period of time."
"The Great Festival!" 'The Great Festival. ’
Zhou Lao and Yan Jing thought of one place, but the former directly reminded him, and the latter only answered everywhere in his mind.
"There are still three days left before the big festival, and I believe that our colleagues in the court, as long as they can successfully decipher it, we will have enough time to disrupt their arrangement."
As the inspector of the lawsuit, Bai Ruosu learned about the progress of the decipherment of the account book through his subordinates on the way here, and the reply he got was that there had been a breakthrough, and there should be a result tonight.
"I hope so, in recent years, the capital has not been peaceful, and this year, the demand for the amount of pious incense has nearly doubled. All in all, the situation is not good. ”
"Nearly doubled, how can it be so much?"
Bai Ruosu keenly captured the key information mentioned in Zhou Lao's words, even if the latter quickly realized that something was wrong when he mentioned it, and took the initiative to stop talking.
"That's right, you are a gold medal patrol, there is nothing to hide, in recent years, there have been many evil cults in the capital, and the frequency of fallen gods has been far greater than before, and the monsters of the different space have somehow become inexplicably stronger, in order to protect this world, the underworld and the human world have reached an agreement to strengthen the sealing gate!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Lao thought about it and no longer concealed it, and took the initiative to explain.
The evil of the other world was once suppressed by the United Human World of the Underworld and could not raise their heads, so they could only withdraw from this world, but in the current situation, the former was obviously planning to make a comeback.
As for why the evil cult became powerful, Bai Ruosu and Zhou Lao didn't know, but Yan Jing had some speculation in his heart.
Very simple.
The changes in the source tree in the torch space are enough to prove that the invasion of the evil spirits on the major different worlds is intensifying, and each time they break through and erode a world, their strength will increase by one point.
It's like a snowball, if no one can take the initiative to stop their momentum, then they can only sit back and watch the evil continue to grow, and the originally stable world will naturally become shaky.
Of course, this was just Yan Jing's inner thoughts, and it was impossible to share them with the other two people in the elevator.
Bai Ruosu was ready to go to the court immediately after leaving Wangxiangtai.
She was desperate to know what the books had been deciphered.
