One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 56: Fire from the Sky

Zhao Fuyun would not wait until the centipede monster had eaten many people before rescuing them. Instead, he would head towards the county town at the foot of the mountain as soon as possible. Of course, he would not walk on the ground, but would run down along the woods on the mountain, riding the wind.

Compared to the time before he built the foundation, he only felt that his body was extremely light, like a balloon. His body was filled with clear and spiritual energy, and he could naturally float in the void. He only needed to use his thoughts as his hands and wave them in the void like swimming.

He quickly flew towards the sky above Wuze County.

Because it was night time, the originally quiet county town was awakened at this moment and fell into panic and fear in a short time.

It seemed that many people had expected that the centipede monster would come back again. However, in the past two days, Zhao Fuyun did not see many people fleeing from the mountain.

He understood that even if everyone knew that danger was coming, it would be difficult for them to leave. They could only endure the lingering suffering, and they could not escape when disaster struck. Most people had never left the valley in their entire lives.

Therefore, at this time, everyone will always pray for God's blessing and pray to the gods. Even if the god is impersonated by a ghost, no one cares. As long as the ghost can protect everyone, even if the ghost needs to eat people to provide protection, everyone will accept it after weighing the pros and cons.

When the rules of justice cannot be covered, the bloody order will inevitably prevail.

Where the gods and the imperial court cannot protect, and where the righteous and mysterious sects cannot take care of, there will definitely be mountain monsters, ghosts, and unorthodox sects enslaving people there.

The appearance of the centipede monster alarmed many people. Although it could not speak, there were people here who spoke for it.

"Everyone, listen to me. The centipede god has returned and a blood sacrifice is needed. The people of Wuze are my fellow countrymen, but an outsider came and caused our traditions in Wuze to be lost and we lost our shelter. Who is that person?"

For a moment, no one spoke, but everyone knew who he was talking about.

When Zhu Puyi heard the sound, he only dared to climb onto the roof with a ladder to look, and did not dare to get close at all.

Although the people in the newly formed yamen were not in the county government, they were all terrified.

"The Centipede God was born and raised here. He is our own god, but he is oppressed by foreign gods. We are all guilty. In order to atone for our sins, we need a grand blood sacrifice. Only those with a sincere heart can gain the forgiveness of the Centipede God."

Everyone knew the person who was speaking, because he was one of the few educated people in Wu Ze. Many people learned to read and were enlightened by him.

No one even dared to get close, firstly because many families had already chosen the Red Flame God, and secondly because they saw that the Centipede God was a monster.

If it was a Gu that they raised themselves, they certainly wouldn't be afraid, but they were all afraid of such a huge centipede monster, because it was an alien, a monster.

The centipede god was not in a hurry to eat humans. It needed a sacrifice. It had not received any sacrifices since it left the misty swamp, so it was very upset. Now it wanted a grand sacrifice with boundless fear.

Just then, everyone suddenly heard a voice.

"It's just a monster." As this voice appeared, everyone saw a ball of light appear in the sky.

When the light appeared, everyone looked up and saw what looked like a fireball falling from the light.

The centipede god on the ground only saw a ball of light suddenly appear in the dark sky.

The moment it raised its head, it felt itself being hit by a huge wave of fire. This wave of fire did not hit its body, but its consciousness, rushing directly and violently.

From the moment it becomes conscious to the moment it feels its body burning, not from the outside to the inside, but from the inside to the outside.

Its eyes were no longer visible, only endless fire.

Its consciousness was rapidly weakening. The more fearful it was, the more boiling it was, the faster it burned. The demonic aura on its body mixed with the magic power formed by the scent of incense was like an excellent fuel at this moment.

It no longer knew how to escape underground and was just struggling frantically. In the eyes of many people, the centipede god was no different from an ordinary insect at this time, rolling on the ground with its head and tail bouncing.

But before long, the centipede god gradually weakened and stopped moving. At this time, a person fell from the sky. Everyone saw clearly that it was the teacher.

It turned out that the teacher did not leave.

Surprise flooded into many people's hearts.

Zhu Puyi slid down the stairs quickly from the roof and sprained his ankle when he landed, but he did not stop. He quickly opened the locked door and walked all the way to the threshing ground. After seeing Zhao Fuyun's appearance clearly, he laughed.

"Teacher, good, it's good that you're back..."

At this time, other people also came out of the house one after another, approaching carefully, each of them with surprise and shock in their eyes.

Among them was Mi Liang, who came out carrying a knife and wearing a half-armor suit.

When I saw the giant centipede lying dead on the ground, there was shock, surprise, and relief in my eyes.

Zhao Fuyun stretched out his hand, and the knife at his waist flew out of its sheath. Then Zhao Fuyun swung the knife and cut off the two tentacles on the centipede's head.

This centipede did not have an inner elixir, but the poison sac and shell in its body could be sold for some money. However, he did not want them. Instead, he chose to take them away, as they were also its two most valuable tentacles.

"This centipede monster is dead. A new teacher will arrive soon. You don't have to worry."

After Zhao Fuyun finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Puyi and said, "Master Zhu, we'll meet again later. Goodbye."

After saying this, he jumped up in front of everyone's gaze and flew into the dark sky like a bird.

The people in Wuze County were happy, but Zhao Fuyun did not feel relieved. Instead, he felt even more stern.

Because the sense of danger in his heart did not diminish in the slightest, let alone disappear.

Disaster?

Where does it come from?
Zhao Fuyun didn't know, but he knew that something was going to happen to him.

He went to Tiandu Mountain. As he had just started building his foundation, he could not fly in the sky for a long time. Moreover, even if he rode the wind in the sky, his flying speed was not fast and he would get tired instead.

So he walked on the earth and covered his breath.

Nanling Prefecture is mountainous and has many rivers, with winding roads. Because the power of the Zhou Dynasty court was weak here, the court did not build official roads here.

So most of the roads are not wide or very flat.

Of course, there were also merchants walking on the road, but most of them were short distances, and there were few large caravans. Moreover, he saw that most of the caravans knew some magic.

There are also bodyguards in the escort agency, but the people in those escort agencies are not ordinary people. Instead, they are some people who are proficient in magic, although they are all unorthodox.

When he came, he was in a hurry to travel, so he seldom stopped, and even his original horse was tired, so he later sold the carriage.

Now he was not in a hurry to travel, but there was always a sense of danger lingering in his heart, so he did not walk fast. He wanted to feel it carefully and try to see if he could feel where the danger came from.

The sun was at its zenith. Ahead, at a fork in the road, there was a restaurant where merchants and travelers were resting.
