Do demons have gods?

After Ye Tian walked, this question echoed in Lu Cheng's mind for a long, long time.

He vaguely felt that there might be some important information hidden in this inadvertent hint in the other party's words, but because of a little shackle in thinking, he couldn't figure out the relationship anyway.

The black sedan drove through the deserted city, and after a catastrophe, this once prosperous city has long since become a dead Jedi where the sea is located.

There was no life, only the stench of dried blood and rotting corpses, and the lonely empty city was so quiet that every night was bound to evoke the nocturnal walking of a hundred ghosts caused by resentful spirits.

But no.

It is very strange that from the beginning of the last battle of the underworld demon to the present, there has never been half a resentful spirit in S City, which should be full of wild corpses.

In ancient times, every mass grave on the battlefield was a place of ghosts and shadows on sunny days and clouds within a hundred years, but since the incident, there have been no less than 10,000 dead and injured, but there has not been even a little change in spiritual energy.

There are two possibilities for unjust death without ghosts, the first is that the spiritual energy tide in the location is too weak, just like a newborn baby does not have the nutrients it needs to grow and not enough to keep the spirits alive. The second is forcible formalization, that is, after the evil spirit is generated, it is controlled, killed, or imprisoned.

S City clearly does not belong to the former.

With such a huge number of people, it is hard to imagine that someone took action to complete such a terrifying thing without the awareness of a psychic.

Looking at the road scene that kept passing outside the car window, Lu Cheng suddenly remembered his dead godfather.

It is rumored that the sixth hall of Bian Cheng Wang is in charge of the underground mansion and the city of death, but I don't know where the lonely soul of Bian Cheng Yan Jun who died in vain should drift to after crossing the Santu River.

The old Taoist priest in the driver's seat was holding a half-lit cigarette, and his eyes under black sunglasses shrank to a new height.

The destination of this journey is hundreds of kilometers outside the city, the underground pseudo-temple has been reduced to the burial place of the remnants of the demon clan and the corpse soldiers because of the last battle between the two clans, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, the re-advent ceremony of the underworld can only be tentatively scheduled on the surface of the mountain.

The matter of the Demon God Yellow Nest has already made their gang of principals very busy, coupled with the catastrophe lurking in the shadows like a sword hanging over their heads, it can be said that people are panicked these days.

The most core peak of the psychic energy detection in the entire Kyushu is still in S City, which means that everyone's speculation is not wrong, judging from the situation so far, the first battlefield where the catastrophe will come must still be in this dead city. Because of this, they had to stay on the garrison. If the catastrophe is compared to the invasion of another world, the king head of their group of psychic people is guarding the first front of the frontal battlefield, so no matter what, this scorched earth cannot be given up, for the sake of the psychic bloodline of the Kyushu world, the first battle must be limited to the completely hopeless S City.

Another red sedan followed closely behind them, the driver was Ye Xi, and on the back seat of the car were the drooping old Wheel King and Qin Guangwang Chu Qing, who had been frowning since the Zhang Muyan incident.

The final ritual is about to be finalized under the watchful eyes of these people.

Lu Cheng rolled up the window and stared at his own mirror image in the translucent glass, and suddenly smiled wryly.

"Will there be gods in the demon clan?"

He said this lightly, and his eyes narrowed thoughtfully.

"The answer is obviously."

The old Taoist priest in the front seat played the steering wheel and talked to him without a match, "The bloodline of the underworld comes from the god of the underworld, and in the same way, there must be an ultimate source of bloodline power above the demon race." And this role, which plays the role of 'Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things', is what we call a deity in the usual sense. ”

"Then uncle, who do you think the master of all things in this demon clan will be?" Lu Cheng asked.

"I'm not a demon, how would I know? Demon God Yellow Nest? Spit out the smoke in his mouth, and the old Taoist priest frowned, "Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" Although there must be such a thing as a god objectively, it seems that it is not the turn of us mortals to worry about. What if you know? Can you still run over to recognize a relative and say hello to someone? ”

"It's not the Yellow Nest."

Lu Cheng shook his head, "The moment that monster came back from my body, uncle, have you seen him with your own eyes?" ”

"Yes." The old Taoist priest glanced in the rearview mirror, but still didn't understand what this guy was trying to say.

"How do you feel about his strength?"

"Strong, very strong." After thinking about it, the old Taoist priest answered truthfully.

"And how does it compare to the gods you have in mind?"

The old Taoist priest smiled.

"That guy is strong, but if you really want to compare gods, I'm afraid it's still a bit exaggerated. At least in my mind, it is impossible for a 'god' to be injured by a mortal, let alone die at the hands of Lin Yan, the ancestor of the edict thousands of years ago. ”

"That's what I've always wanted to say." Lu Cheng rubbed his eyebrows, "From your point of view, what is the biggest enemy we face at the moment?" Yellow Nest? I'm afraid not. That legendary catastrophe has been passed down for so many years, but none of us know its true meaning. We know the effect, we know the cause, but none of us can say exactly how it happened. There are more terrifying characters behind Zhang Muyan, and the inner demons derived from my body may only be regarded as extraneous branches at this juncture. ”

"That's right."

The old Taoist priest nodded, and finally understood that what this guy said for a long time was to point out the main contradiction in the current situation. The resurrection of Huang Chao has confused their sight to a large extent, and has always made them temporarily forget about some forces that have not been cut down, but Lu Cheng's statement is inevitably extreme, no matter what kind of existence Zhang Muyan is behind him, his threat may not exceed the demon whose purpose is unknown and has not yet been caught.

"Tell me what you think." Smiling, he didn't think there was any need to argue, so he handed it all over to the people in the back seat.

"I'm just wondering what kind of character we're going to be up against." Lu Cheng shook his head, looking extremely tired, "Zhang Muyan is very smart, he can treat us as chess pieces, and easily play with us, if it wasn't for being too anxious at the last moment to show his feet, maybe he would still be the one in power in today's situation." But even if he was so smart, he still couldn't help himself. He himself is a pawn, the difference is that he knew this from the beginning, but he was powerless to resist. ”

"You're still worried about the man behind the scenes?" The old Taoist priest glanced at him, and there was an indescribable expression on his face.

"The top of the demon clan is not him, the demon leader." Lu Cheng closed his eyes and shook his head, he felt that he had suddenly figured out something, but he was still short of a clue, and he couldn't understand the whole situation.

"What did you say?" The old Taoist priest was serious.

"I said that the top level of the demon clan is not Zhang Muyan," Lu Cheng shook his head more and more frequently, and layers of information swept through his mind, Tang Yuefei had taught him the basic method of reasoning many years ago, and all the fragments began to be connected one by one.

"Neither is the Yellow Nest. He has the name of a demon god, but he has no demon god. In terms of rank, he, the keeper of the royal bloodline of the demon clan, should be just equal to the Hades Monarch. He had been planning the resurrection in me for a long time, but I could vaguely sense that his purpose was not to destroy the world. It's like a child trying to open the locked door of his home and run away to survive in an earthquake, but his real purpose is actually to survive! ”

"What do you think of?" The old Taoist priest took off the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, his expression was indescribably nervous, he knew that what Lu Cheng said was very likely to be completely true, and according to this progress, the final result would undoubtedly be the truth of the entire catastrophe!

"The heart-eating ghost who didn't die after the hundred ghosts greeted him, the resentful spirit that demonized the director in the hospital of death, and the tree ghost who suddenly broke through the critical point of alienation on the night of the decisive battle. The boss at the top of the company, what kind of existence are you? ”

Lu Cheng asked himself, the smile on the corner of his mouth had been twisted into a thread.

And that's not all.

"The night walk of the hundred ghosts in S City is exactly the same as that of Kyoto twenty years ago, I can't remember what happened to me that night, only that my Hades bloodline suddenly appeared after that night. If the power of the Hades came from the gift of the hundred ghosts after their night walk, then what about twenty years ago? Twenty years ago, who was the ultimate beneficiary of the Hyakki Night Walk in Kyoto?! ”

"Lu Cheng!" Looking at Lu Cheng, whose mind was gradually out of control behind him, the old Taoist priest hurriedly stepped on the brakes.

"I'm fine."

The Immortal on the saddle showed one hand and opened his eyes at the same time. Following his backward turn, the old Taoist's eyes just caught a glimpse of the red sedan that was turning around, Chu Qing and the Wheel King in the car looked like they were in a coma in the transparent front window, and Ye Xi, who was holding the steering wheel in the driver's seat, had a cold expression, and after glancing at this side, he turned his head around the body without looking back.

The direction he was going to was not at all a hundred miles away!

"Stop chasing!"

Patting the old Taoist priest on the shoulder, the expressionless Lu Cheng stopped the old Taoist priest's idea of turning the head of the car to chase after him.

"The ritual of the return of the Immortal King is not important, no matter what Ye Xi wants to do, he must have his reasons. Now help me drive to the nearest second-tier city other than S City, and I need to book a flight to Kyoto. ”

"What are you kidding?" The old Taoist priest glanced at him in surprise, "Even if you don't care about Chu Qing's safety, the Wheel King who is in charge of the Reincarnation Realm is still in that kid's car!" God knows what this guy wants to do, and once something goes wrong over there, do you think there's a second person who can help you awaken your bloodline?! ”

"I said that the re-advent ceremony of the Immortal Monarch is not important, if you want to harm those two, Ye Xi can do it all the way to the car, there is no need to wait for us to step on the highway to Kunshan before he turns the car."

"Even so, what else can compare to your bloodline awakening right now?"

"Yes, it's the search for the truth." Lu Cheng glanced at him, his gaze had never been so identical, "I have thought of many possibilities, and there is only one way to verify all of them, and that is to go to Kyoto." ”

After the silence, the old Taoist priest glared at him, although he couldn't understand it, he still had no choice but to drive on the highway to other cities according to the same road.

"What the hell do you want, kid?" Staring into the rearview mirror, his eyebrows were almost twisted together.

"Ghosts and Gods." Lu Cheng smiled.

"Believe me, the harvest of this trip will not disappoint, I believe that I am not the only one staring at this book, as for what Ye Xi wants to do, I want to say that excluding today's unreasonable thing, I still believe in my uncle's personality."
