Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 856 The Curtain Falls
Wu Xian had always been curious.

Ge Chengzong was just a novice member of the family; how did he acquire such an unsolvable and bizarre ability? Such an ability would be outrageous even for a villain.

Later, during communication with the City God Temple, Wu Xian obtained a possibility.

The heavens of the ten directions contain a total of 555,555 billion layers, and the number of worlds is as numerous as the sands in the ocean, inexhaustible and impossible to trace.

Many of these worlds are highly similar, like mirror images of each other, with identical histories, cultures, languages, social customs, and traditions.

Some of these people even encountered another version of themselves living in that blessed land after entering it.

The first blessed land Wu Xian experienced also had two identical inns, only the owners were different.

Therefore, six-colored deer exist in the real world, and they may also exist in a certain blessed land.

The six-colored deer's experience deviated from the real six-colored deer at a certain point, which may have led to the dark version of the story told by Li Qiuhong.

It is also possible that the six-colored deer fell into depravity after it had already become a local indigenous deity.

In short.

Ge Chengzong entered that blessed world, and because he had once worshipped the six-colored deer in the real world, the six-colored deer in the blessed world found a connection with him and merged into his soul, thus coming to the real world together.

The six-colored deer of the blessed land may have left behind a similar barrier, so he realized that the barrier left by the six-colored deer, which prevented wild beasts from following the scent of humans and trying to become humans, could be reversed in some way to allow humans and wild beasts to merge together.

Perhaps it is because of this strange ability that relies on the barrier of the six-colored deer in reality that Ge Chengzong did not leave the new village despite the risk of being exposed.

This is the final truth behind the Sinchon incident.

However, whatever the truth may be, it's time for all of this to come to an end.

On the white banner reaching for the sky, Wu Xian's name was slowly written in clerical script.

Wu Xian immediately felt countless icy ghostly hands reach into his body, pulling his and Pang Hu's souls out. The souls that left their bodies spun like toilet paper being sucked into the ocean of evil energy in the sky, while their bodies collapsed limply to the ground.

Next, we see the souls of Ge Chengzong and Ge Feng.

After all the souls of the people had been taken away, the white banner supporting the sky fell like a curtain.

The entire new village was eerily quiet, devoid of any living creatures.

It wasn't until teams of staff from the City God's Office moved into the new village and set up tents that the situation improved.

……

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the tent and fell on Wu Xian's face, tickling his cheeks and waking him up.

He stood up and found that his injuries had all healed.

It seems that during the time his soul was taken away, the City God Temple had used the Soul-Summoning Banner to return the souls of everyone who had been taken away by the Soul-Summoning Array.

They also treated Wu Xian's injuries.

Furthermore, Wu Xian could feel that Fat Tiger was still inside his body. He moved his body, lifted the tent flap, and went outside.

At this time, the new village was filled with dark gray tents.

The staff of the City God Temple were busy, some carrying away the still unconscious beastman, while others were carrying pigs, cattle, sheep and other animals.

“You woke up early. The ceremony is about to begin. Come with me.” A man with red eyes and white hair suddenly appeared beside Wu Xian.

This guy is Feng Chen, who works at the City God Temple in Fuyuan City. He is in charge of some armed operations and is like a fixed NPC, always appearing in various events.

Feng Chen led Wu Xian to the village's threshing ground, which was the largest and flattest open space in the new village.

In earlier years, villagers would spread the harvested crops on the threshing floor to dry, and then beat them with sticks to remove the husks after they were dry, which would cause dust to fly everywhere. This method has been rarely used in recent years.

The center of the threshing ground was cleaned up, and even a circular platform was paved with stone slabs, around which lay villagers suffering from bestiality.

Hei Gu, He Qiao, and the other two were lying in the center circle.

There was an empty spot in the circle, and Wu Xian walked over without hesitation, put his hands under his head, smelled the earth beneath him, and leisurely admired the white clouds drifting in the azure sky.

Knowing about the existence of the beastmen, Wu Xian still dared to return to the new village and even involve Hei Gu, naturally because he had a way to turn himself and Hei Gu back into normal humans.

This method is the ceremony that is being held now.

The staff of the City God Temple placed the offerings one by one in different positions on the platform according to their precise locations.

These offerings consist of three kinds of sacrificial animals and six kinds of rites, as well as incense, candles, and paper horses.

The three sacrificial animals are a large fish, a pig's head, and a chicken, which correspond to heaven, earth, and water, respectively, and are offered as a tribute to the Three Officials.

The six gifts are wine, tea, rice, salt, sugar, and fruit, which are gifts prepared for the immortals and gods to be summoned.

In addition, there are incense, candles, paper money, and other items.

The whole process seems mysterious and unpredictable, but it's actually the same logic as welcoming important figures in small places, with only minor differences.

Once everything was ready, the musicians began to play, and a Taoist priest from the Three Officials Sect presided over the ceremony. Then, a rainbow slowly appeared in the sky.

This rainbow only has six colors: red, yellow, blue, green, orange, and purple. It is the same as the light emitted when Ge Chengzong used his ability, but the colors are even more vibrant.

From the rainbow, a white deer adorned with six-colored divine light emerged.

It gracefully circled and leaped among the clouds, its six-colored divine light falling like colorful snowflakes and merging into the bodies of Wu Xian and the others below.

As the colorful snowflakes melted into his body, Wu Xian felt something being peeled away from his body; this was the way to cure the six-colored deer.

Since the beast-like disease was caused by the Six-Colored Deer of the Blessed Land through the barrier set up by the Six-Colored Deer of Reality in its early years, the real Six-Colored Deer can naturally reverse the barrier and restore everyone to normal.

Unfortunately, the six-colored deer in reality is subject to great limitations. Even when it comes to healing people, it requires a complicated ritual. Otherwise, the six-colored deer itself would have been enough to suppress this abnormal event.

puff!
Fat Tiger, looking completely bewildered, appeared out of nowhere beside Wu Xian, his big eyes filled with confusion.

"Meow?"

Apart from Wu Xian, everyone else also recovered from their beast form, and the entire square was soon filled with various kinds of livestock.

Once the beast disease was cured, the six-colored deer jumped back into the rainbow and quickly disappeared without a trace. Throughout the entire process, the six-colored deer did not have any contact or communication with the humans below.

After the six-colored deer disappeared, the rainbow transformed into six beams of light, which landed on Wu Xian, Hei Gu, Pang Hu, Da Da, Sang Biao, and the baboon in turn.

A look of surprise immediately appeared in Wu Xian's eyes.

The six-colored deer actually left them a gift before it left!
