Chapter 774 Rebellion?

The statue is a large coiled snake with its mouth wide open, fangs exposed, and a long, thin tongue. It looks exactly like the snake in the mural.
"So... these ancient people worshipped the giant snake?"

This is not surprising!
The ancient ancestors were all ignorant, and the demon race is still prosperous in this world today. I think the human race was even weaker at that time. When they saw the demon race with huge bodies that could call the wind and rain, they naturally worshipped them like gods!
If they worship the demons and anger the gods, they may be punished by the gods and suffer disasters to wipe out their entire clan!

Gu Shiyi thought secretly in his heart,

"However, this god is really petty!"

After diving nearly twenty feet with Wangyue, Wangyue refused to go down and said to Gu Shiyi,
"The water here is so cold! It's weirdly cold... I don't dare go in!"

Although her Taoism skills were not high, her monster instincts were extremely sharp. Otherwise, how could she have survived for thousands of years in a river filled with countless monsters?
Gu Shiyi was unaware of it, and immediately asked Wangyue to change her shape, turning into a little turtle lying on the back of her neck. Gu Shiyi shuddered, and fine blood-red dragon scales appeared on her body. Wangyue, who was lying on her shoulder, immediately felt a huge demonic power spreading around them. She felt refreshed, and she sighed comfortably. Her two front paws tightly grasped Gu Shiyi's fine scales, and followed her to dive straight down...

After going down nearly thirty feet, they finally encountered the obstacle that Tong Ling mentioned. At this time, the water in the abyss was not only as dark as black ink, but there seemed to be an invisible force in the water, which made the water feel sticky. However, with Gu Shiyi's true spiritual body, the blood-red dragon scales on his body seemed to have sensed it and stood up spontaneously. The sharp outer edges of the dragon scales were like sharp blades that cut through the invisible obstacle, allowing Gu Shiyi to come and go freely in such water!
Gu Shiyi sensed the obstruction in the water, but silently recited the runes in the Mysterious Spirit Nine Heavens Record in his heart. A flash of blood appeared in his eyes, and a layer of red light appeared faintly in front of him. Gu Shiyi slowly swam closer.

"From the looks of it...it looks like a magic circle?"

She tried to reach out and touch the red light.
"Om..."

The red light trembled slightly, and a force emerged out of nowhere, pushing her hand away. Gu Shiyi patrolled along the red light and found that this magic circle should have sealed off the entire bottom of the abyss. Gu Shiyi vaguely sensed that there should be something with a powerful aura below!

"Could this be the entrance to the demon world?"

Gu Shiyi thought about it. The scattered skeletons he had seen in those buildings along the way just now, many of them looked strange and did not look like normal human beings!

Gu Shiyi thought about it, turned around and went upstream. When he returned to the boat, he told Pu Yanlan what he had seen and heard.
"Magic circle?"

Pu Yanlan raised her eyebrows.
"Could it really be the path to the demon world..."

That being said, she really had to go down and take a look!
So Pu Yanlan went into the water, but she dived into the water differently from Gu Shiyi. Gu Shiyi relied purely on his own righteousness to resist the strong yin energy, but she wore the magic weapon clothes. A layer of hazy white light appeared on the goose yellow clothes. Leading the way for her in front was the Evil Ghost King and a group of little ghosts. The Evil Ghost King entered this extremely yin place and felt comfortable and relaxed like a fish in water. Behind him, there were more than a dozen demon corpses protecting her. Pu Yanlan's show was grand, and Wangyue was shocked. However, she was a little afraid of the Evil Ghost King and the demon corpses, so she didn't dare to go into the water.

Pu Yanlan came back half an hour after going into the water and said to Gu Shiyi,
"There should have been demons living here in the ancient times. The statue in the temple is not a snake from our world, but a snake from the demon world. It is said to be the mount of the demon god. It has seven tails and eyes behind its head. One drop of saliva dripping from its tongue can poison everything..."

so smart?

Gu Shiyi was surprised.

"I don't see anything unusual about it, right?"

Pu Yanlan said,

"This snake is called Chidang. It is very good at camouflage. It looks the same as ordinary snakes, but its seven tails are hidden in one tail. It also has an eye behind its head, which is hidden in its scales. These cannot be seen from the outside, but there is one thing that makes it different from ordinary snakes... It is a demon. To be born in this world, it must be born from a human's belly button..."

Oh... no wonder there’s a snake coming out of the child’s belly button in the portrait!

Pu Yanlan continued,
"It seems that the ancestors here used to worship this monster as a god. And the magic circle... From the way I see its layout, it should also be a magic circle passed down from ancient times. This legend is probably true..."

"Is there really a magic array underneath the magic array?"

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and said,
"When I was in the Demon Realm, I read the records of the Great Demon King leaving the world while reading the ancient books of the Demon Realm. It recorded that the Great Demon King took advantage of the great war to invade the human world, and was later defeated by his subordinates. The Great Demon King hid his soul in the human race, and his loyal subordinates fled one after another. His mount was lost and disappeared, and never returned to the Demon Realm. Now it seems... maybe he came to this world unintentionally and became a god here..."

After the mount of the great devil named Chidang became the god of this world, it was unknown which god it offended, or which high-level cultivator of this world killed it. As for whether the area below was the entrance to the devil world, it was just the guess of the two, and they didn't know whether it was true or not!

So the two of them discussed it.
"Do you want to break the magic circle and take a look?"

"This one……"

Pu Qilan hesitated. "Under the abyss, demonic energy is surging. Even if it is not the entrance to the demon world, it must have sealed up a lot of demonic energy. I guess it is the demonic energy that leaked out when Chi Dang died. If we rashly break the magic circle, the people in this abyss will be in trouble!"

Although Gu Shiyi wanted to go down and explore, it would be a sin if he brought harm to the people of the Abyss!

After discussing it, the two decided not to go down to break the magic circle, so they planned to leave this place and go to the edge of the abyss to take a look at the boundless swamp that Tianyu mentioned...

So, that day, as it was getting dark, the two of them stopped the boat above the Eye of the Abyss, and when it got light, they headed for the edge of this world. But that night, on this silent water that seemed like a dead zone, suddenly a few flashing lights appeared in the distance, rapidly approaching Gu Shiyi's boat, and on the bow of the leading boat, someone shouted loudly,

"Excuse me...but Master Gu is on the boat... Is Master Gu on the boat..."

Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan had already noticed that a ship was approaching in the distance. They jumped out of the deck and heard that the voice was from Feng Laoliu. They walked slowly to the bow and stood at the light of the wind lantern hanging on the mast above their heads. They shouted to the person who came,

"It's me, Brother Feng. Why are you here so late at night?"

As they were talking, several speedboats were approaching. When Feng Laoliu heard Gu Shiyi's voice, he was overjoyed and hurriedly asked the boat to come over. Feng Laoliu boarded the boat and greeted Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan. After Gu Shiyi returned the greeting, he invited him to sit in the living room. Not long after the two of them sat down, Madam Gu brought in two little girls in white clothes and brought tea. Feng Laoliu was a little surprised to see the pair of round-faced little girls, who were about eight or nine years old and had two buns on their heads, and said,
"Where did Master Gu buy these twin girls? They look so cute!"

This pair of little girls not only have exactly the same eyebrows and eyes, but also have exactly round faces, which is rare!

Gu Shiyi smiled slightly and said,

"I met him by chance after leaving the Imperial City..."

I have not just twins, I have more than a dozen. These little girls are so identical that if you didn’t live together every day, you really would not be able to tell who is who!

This pair of little girls were naturally transformed by the Mao Tuanzi. According to the Mao Tuanzi's level of cultivation, they could not change into human form. However, with a little bit of illusion, it was easy for them to deceive Feng Laoliu. This was also because Pu Yanlan was careful. When she saw Feng Laoliu coming, she was afraid that he would find out that there were no boatmen and no servants on the boat, and she became suspicious, so she asked the Mao Tuanzi to come out and dress up as maids.

After Madam Gu led the maids to leave, Gu Shiyi asked,
"Brother Feng, you have come to this Abyss in the dead of night. Is there something wrong?"

Feng Laoliu smiled bitterly and said,

"Indeed, I have something to do. Otherwise... I would not dare to disturb you two on your journey... I have also sent people to inquire around. I heard that your ship had reached Yuanyan, so I came here to look for you..."

It was because Mr. Gu and his wife were not natives of Dayuan and did not know how powerful this place was. They actually spent the night on the eye of the abyss, which saved him a lot of trouble!
"Oh... Brother Feng, if you have something urgent to say, just speak up!"

"This one……"

Feng Laoliu hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"I know that Master Gu is also a well-connected person in the Southern Ming Kingdom. I... am entrusted by someone to buy some weapons..."

"weapon?"

Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise,
"Brother Feng, what are you going to do? Are you going to gather troops to rebel?"

She and Feng Laoliu had known each other for a long time, but she was just joking around. However, she didn't expect Feng Laoliu's face to change. His expression was bitter and astringent. Gu Shiyi was stunned.

"Brother Feng, you... you won't be hit by my words, right?"

Feng Laoliu smiled bitterly and said,

"I am not like Master Gu, who was born rich and free. I work for the royal family, but I am just a pawn that follows orders. My family members are all working in the palace, so I cannot be free even if I want to..."

Gu Shiyi asked curiously,

"Brother Feng, what are you talking about? If you are working for the royal family, why would you gather troops to rebel?"

Happy New Year everyone!
