Chapter 245: The Remains of the City God, Purgatory on Earth

"Where does the rain come from?"

Zheng Shuyan looked at Yu Chen and asked.

"Freedom from heaven." Yu Chen replied.

It was obviously nonsense, but Zheng Shuyan seemed to understand, and thanked him: "When it rains in the Youhe, can Zheng take a look?" ”

"You can't do it." Yu Chen nodded.

So, one person and one ghost agreed to go to Youhe County together, and they were separated for the time being.

Yu Chen returned to the Tomb of No Return and made some preparations.

The next day, the sky was bright.

Early in the morning, Yu Chen left a paper figure of his own on the Mausoleum of No Return to prevent any officials from carrying the corpse up the mountain.

Then he took the stones, Yu Juvenile, and Zheng Shuyan's ghost on the Nine Ghost Chariots, and went in the direction of Youhe County.

Youhe County, located five hundred miles east of the capital, is only half an hour's effort for the speed of the Nine Ghost Rings.

After a while, a group of ghosts had already driven into the territory of Youhe County.

β€”β€”The border between Youhe County and the surrounding neighboring counties is a large river with a width of 100 zhang, which is called "Youshui", and this Youhe County is also named after it.

Yu Chen, Yu Youyu and others looked from the sky and could clearly see that with the exhausted Youshui as the boundary, the situation of Youhe County and neighboring counties was completely two extremes!

Look at the neighboring county, a lush, beautiful mountains and rivers, occasionally do not see the birds flapping their wings, the wild beasts do not flee the forest, in front of the distant mountains, the people who dot the stars rise to smoke, presumably the people who get up early to cook the fire.

To the east of the river, in the territory of the river, it was a red and yellow color, the earth was dry and cracked, the fields were exhausted, and countless bare trees did not have any greenery in this three spring seasons, but were full of desolate white bones, and there were people and beasts, and I don't know how long they had been dead.

- There was no rain for a year, thousands of miles of red land, rivers were cut off, and countless living beings were suffering.

All the way forward, to the vicinity of Youhe County, Yu Chen and the others walked down from the ghost car and headed in the direction of the county seat.

Everywhere they passed, they were desolate.

The original vibrant villages and towns have withered, the dry and cracked land is scorching, and in front of the dilapidated houses, scrawny figures are staring blankly at the vast sky without a trace of clouds.

There was no hope in those eyes, and there was no life.

"Tsk, that's miserable."

Even if he was born overseas and is used to seeing strong winds and waves, the young fish can't help frowning and shaking their heads when they look at this scene.

And Zheng Shuyan looked at all this, and he was even more sad: "Youhe...... Secluded River ...... How did it become what it is today? ”

A group of people, continue to move forward.

In the distance, under a big mountain, you can see a magnificent temple of the city god.

It's just that now it has long since withered and dilapidated, covered with dust and cobwebs, and the urn has long since collapsed, and the eaves are broken.

And that's not all.

In front of the City God Temple, a huge stone figure as high as three feet tall knelt on his knees, and an incomparably huge golden sword was inserted in his chest.

The faint essence that remained was spilled out of the huge body, proving that this was once a living being.

And in front of its huge corpse, several unclothed, thin figures like bamboo poles were kneeling and worshipping reverently, and they couldn't stop kowtowing.

- Even if they have reached such a desperate situation, they still have to worship this huge stone man.

Yu Chen and the others walked over, and the figures turned around and looked at them blankly.

The stone couldn't bear it, so he took out some water and gave it to them one by one.

These poor people immediately lit up in their eyes and kowtowed again and again to thank them.

But in spite of their great desire for that little water, they filled it with a worn-out ladle and poured some lightly over the great stone man before returning to their respective places.

Yu Chen frowned, stopped a rickety old man, and asked him who this stone giant was?

The old man let out a long sigh before he trembled and spoke:

"This foreign adult, do you know, this Tai Gong is the city god of Youhe, and he blesses Youhe with good weather on weekdays, which has lasted for a hundred years.

But at this time last year, the Shuntian incident broke out, and the imperial court was furious, implicating our ordinary people, saying that it was to let this secluded river not fall within three years, even if it was rain clouds, it also made Taigong disperse it.

In the first few months, Taigong was hindered by the order of the imperial court, so he could only act according to the order, but as the years passed, Taigong really couldn't bear to see our people suffering from this disease, so he secretly left a rain cloud and rained heavily.

But this matter was soon discovered by the imperial court, and a three-eyed immortal master was sent to crucify Tai Gong in front of this city god temple for the crime of disrespecting the decree.

Tai Gong...... When he was dying, he was begging the court to raise his noble hand and let go of the people of Youhe! ”

After all, the rickety old man wiped his eyes with his hands, but he couldn't shed tears.

- There is not so much water in his body.

Yu Chen glanced at the stone, and the stone immediately took out the water bag again and handed it to the old man.

The latter kowtowed again and again before he went.

Yu Chen looked at the huge stone giant and bowed lightly.

Although this Tai Gong is a monster, for the sake of the people, he is willing to resist and disobey the order, and this body integrity is rarely compared.

Yu Youyu, the demon girl, also nodded slightly: "This stone man is a man." ”

Only Zheng Shuyan, two lines of tears, unbearable grief: "Chenghuang Taigong, the spirit of Taili Mountain, was sealed by Zhan Tiansi, in charge of the wind and rain of this secluded river, Zheng Mou once had a wine with him, but I didn't expect goodbye to be so ......"

The group was silent.

Continue in the direction of the county seat.

It is the central boundary of the entire Youhe River, and it is also the best place to travel through the clouds and rain.

into the city.

It is different from any county in Yuchen's past.

This Youhe county is not so much a county seat as a ruin.

The originally wide streets were covered with yellow sand, the shops on both sides of the streets and alleys had long since been dilapidated, and the people lying in the shade of the broken eaves could be seen everywhere, with skinny and blank eyes.

Scene after scene, in the eyes of Yu Chen and others.

Some people are beating their heads and bleeding because they are fighting for a piece of tree bark, some people are secretly chewing grass roots under the dry and dead trees, and some children are holding Guanyin soil and stuffing it into their mouths......

As they walked, Yu Chen and the others met a man with chapped lips lying under the wall with a confused expression.

And next to him, a woman was holding a child and couldn't stop crying.

The man's voice was weak, and he advised, "When I die, hang me up and dry it, so that I can ...... my stomach."

As we went, we saw more and more victims.

In front of the portal, simple shelves were set up, and air-dried meat was hung, not like a wild beast.

There were also some women, crying, exchanging their children with each other and carrying them into the house.

……

All kinds of tragic situations are indescribable.

Yu Chen couldn't describe what kind of mood he was in when he walked to the center of the county.

He has also seen the world, and he has been to the eighteen hells of the underworld many times.

And the scene of this Youhe county is full of white bones, the same kind eats together, and eats with children...... It can only be said that compared to that hell, it is no better.

Zheng Shuyan even pinched his nails into the flesh, unable to speak.

In silence, the group came to the former Youhe Yamen.

This place is already in ruins.

Yu Chen let out a long breath of turbidity, as if he was about to spit out all the stasis in his chest.

With a flip of the wrist, a formation diagram and a gourd appeared in their hands.

As soon as he unfurled the formation, the endless formations immediately enveloped all directions, surrounding the county government.

threw the mobile phone water purification hyacinth up again, straight into the sky.

At the same time, borrow the wind magic power and master the five thunders, and cast them at the same time!

In an instant, the entire dark river, clouds are all over, and the wind is suddenly rising!

The water purification hyacinth in the sky also opened the lid, and the endless Cangjiang water poured into the vast thunderclouds!

In an instant, the world changed dramatically!

Hide the world array to hide, master the five thunders to summon the clouds, purify the water hyacinth to turn the rain, and use the wind magic power to bring the rain clouds to the entire hidden river.

Today, there will be a heavy rain in this Youhe County!

Thundered!

The thunder roared, like the roar of heaven and earth!

Shocked countless desperate people, raise their heads!

Looking at the clouds and wind, there was still endless numbness in his eyes.

- There is no hope.

Because of this scene, they have seen it countless times.

But every time, every time it was about to fall in a downpour, the three-eyed immortal master of the imperial court would break up the rain clouds, and the last drop of rain would not fall to the hidden river!

Meanwhile.

Inside a cave a hundred miles away from Youhe County.

Dozens of Dao-robed figures were sitting cross-legged, silent.

I heard the rolling thunder and opened my eyes.

The first one, dressed in a black robe and a silver crown, had shining eyes and a vertical slit on his forehead, as if there was something terrible in it.

If Zheng Shuyan is here, he will definitely be able to recognize it at a glance, this person is one of the eight gods of Zhantiansi, Zhen General, Xu Yunzi.

Control the innate eight phases of thunder, the refining power of the Shenxue realm, ten years ago, he was named one of the eight generals of the Tiansi, and once killed a fierce and vicious Jiao with the rolling heavenly thunder, and his magical powers are vast!

At this time, after the Youhe City God's Taigong rebelled, it was this earthquake general who was ordered to stay in Youhe and perform heavenly punishment on his behalf.

This rolling thunder naturally instantly alarmed Xu Yunzi and Zhan Tiansi and the other alchemists.

At the same time, he opened his eyes and looked out of the cave.

One of the alchemists stood up, arched his hand towards Xu Yunzi, and said, "The sky is about to rain, how can the sinners of the Youhe River deserve?" Wait for your subordinates to go and crush this cloud and rain! ”

Let's fly!

Borrow the power of the magic weapon and fly to the sky.

But at this moment, this alchemist saw that the vast thunderclouds had covered the entire sky!

The majesty of the splendor is intimidating!

His expression changed, but he still stubbornly and used his magical powers!

Between the waves of his hands, the endless wind erupted in his hands, surging towards the endless thunderclouds!

Break it up and kill it before this downpour falls!

But what made this alchemist frown was that the previous invincible cloud exorcism technique was now swallowed up by an even greater gust of wind between heaven and earth, and it didn't make a single wave!

He still wants to do something!

But above the rolling thundercloud, a terrifying thunder whip suddenly fell, crackling and falling on him!

"Ah!!h

With a scream, the charred corpse fell to the ground.
