Chapter 162 Demons and monsters wreak havoc, that's the trend; something's not right with Xu Xian! (Please subscribe)

The general trend of the world cannot be changed!
Upon hearing this, Xu Hongru's expression changed slightly, and then he smiled faintly and said, "What do you mean by that, fellow Daoist? My mirror-reflection technique is nothing more than a lowly trick, how can it be related to the general trend of the world?"

Xu Hongru would certainly not admit that he wanted to incite a rebellion.

After all, although the current Great Pine Dynasty is unstable, its more than 1,800 years of rule and foundation cannot be shaken by a small White Lotus Sect.

In fact.

Xu Hongru never imagined that his rebellion would succeed.

His plan to gather a crowd and raise a rebellious flag was also for other reasons.

Think of this.

Xu Hongru smiled slightly and said, "In addition, as you said, the general trend cannot be changed. Anyone who dares to obstruct the general trend will be destroyed by the mighty torrent."

"I don't know what you mean by 'the great trend,' but I'm certain that you have no idea what the great trend is."

What constitutes the general trend?
Upon hearing this, Niu Jun showed a look of curiosity.

He had considered all sorts of possibilities, but he never expected Xu Hongru to say something like that.

Could there be other secrets behind the White Lotus Sect's rebellion?

Thinking of this, Niu Jun couldn't help but take a deep look at Xu Hongru, his left hand calculating incantations, wanting to see what kind of secrets the White Lotus Sect had that made Xu Hongru so confident.

It doesn't matter if you look at it.

He actually saw a trace of true dragon energy in Xu Hongru.

This suggests that Xu Hongru had the potential to become emperor.

According to celestial signs, in the near future, Xu Hongru will gather ten thousand people, raise the banner of rebellion in Wu County, start a war, and lead his White Lotus followers on the path of rebellion.

However, the trace of true dragon energy on Xu Hongru's body was extremely faint and unstable, as if it had been grafted on through some kind of secret method.

Therefore, although Xu Hongru had the potential to become emperor, he could only become a false emperor, just like those self-proclaimed emperors who conquered a territory at the end of the dynasty, and ultimately could not escape defeat and death.

And then.

Niu Jun then saw a beam of divine light descend, and Xu Hongru's spirit ascended directly to immortality.

That's right.

After Xu Hongru died, his spirit did not enter the underworld, nor was it suppressed by the high-ranking Taoist priests of the Great Pine Divine Dynasty. Instead, he directly used the imperial court's weapons to achieve immortality through corpse liberation.

To see such an ending.

While Niu Jun was somewhat taken aback, he seemed to also know the reason why Xu Hongru had gathered a crowd to rebel.

Then consider the demon Pudu Cihang, who has stolen the position of Grand Preceptor of the Great Pine Divine Dynasty and is openly absorbing the national fortune of the Great Pine Divine Dynasty, as well as the civil and military star lords and the evil stars who will soon descend to the mortal world.

Niu Jun seemed to understand something.

No wonder Xu Hongru said he didn't know what the general trend was.

It turns out that this trend is not one of peace and prosperity, but rather that the Great Pine Dynasty must enter its final years, and its national fortune must become unstable.

Peace and prosperity are not the true trend; chaos and demons running rampant are.

Only in a chaotic world where demons and monsters roam freely can more ghost stories and myths be born.

no way.

Every story needs a villain.

Especially in ghost stories and mythological tales, there is a need for brutal and cruel demons to act as villains.

If the Great Pine Dynasty's national fortune is too strong, and the people of the dynasty are protected by the national fortune, and demons dare not enter the cities and settlements where humans live to harm people, how can these stories continue?

Furthermore, only at the end of a dynasty, when heroes vied for power, would the gods and evil spirits of heaven have a reason to descend to earth simultaneously, thus creating more mythological stories amidst the chaos of the dynasty.

I've figured that out.

Niu Jun knew perfectly well what Xu Hongru meant by "the general trend".

The "great trend" he spoke of was not the trend of humanity, but the mythological trend established by the immortals and gods of the upper realm.

Similarly, this also explains why Xu Hongru was able to ascend to immortality after his rebellion, defeat, and death.

It was clearly a reward from some important figure for him initiating the chaos of the dynasty.

Similarly, the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Although Xu Hongru's White Lotus Rebellion failed to overthrow the Great Pine Dynasty, it did usher in a period of chaos for the Great Pine Dynasty, plunging it into a true era of disorder.

In particular, the Imperial Preceptor Cihang Pudu was secretly drawing upon the national fortune of the Great Pine Divine Dynasty.

This way.

It's no wonder that the Great Pine Dynasty can't be at peace.

"I see, I was mistaken."

Niu Jun sighed softly.

He did not comment on Xu Hongru's choice, because cultivation is inherently going against the will of Heaven. Xu Hongru exchanged his disciples and countless people for a path to immortality. Whether it was worth it or not, whether it was evil or not, was irrelevant to him.

If we're really going to talk about evil, his true form directly killed billions of gods in the Warhammer universe in order to condense the Taiyi Dao Body. How could that be considered a righteous act?

However, Niu Jun still had a conscience and couldn't help but warn, "Although it is said that the success of one general is built on the bones of ten thousand, and the path to immortality is filled with corpses, the common people at the bottom have already suffered enough. I hope that Chief Xu can treat the people kindly and not commit any more killings."

Honestly.

With Niu Jun's current cultivation level, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the common people at the bottom of the True Realm are like hydrogen people. Even if many die or are injured, it will be like smoke dissipating, and it won't have any impact.

What can be done?

Niu Jun, after all, still had a conscience; deep down, he still possessed a sliver of humanity and kindness.

Therefore, he could destroy a universe without a care in the world, without feeling the slightest ripple in his heart, but he couldn't help but say a few more words for the people of the True Realm.

the reason is simple.

Because he had truly witnessed the suffering and misery of humankind.

Upon hearing this, Xu Hongru paused for a moment before saying, "Fellow Daoist, rest assured. I also come from humble beginnings and will certainly treat the people kindly and will not commit any more killings."

"That would be perfect!"

Niu Jun nodded, then advised, "I understand your thoughts perfectly well, but there are some things I need to remind you of. This is my final piece of advice to you."

There are no shortcuts to the path of cultivation; do not neglect the future for the sake of the present.

"Now that I've said this, I hope you'll cherish what you have!"

Say it.

Niu Jun then used teleportation to leave.

……

"Visiting Danqiu in the east and Taihua in the west, traveling to Beihai in the morning and Cangwu in the evening. Temporarily leaving the true realm, I come to mingle with the mortal world, and contemplate the fleeting nature of a hundred years. It is like a dream of Huaxu, believing in the vastness of the universe, and sighing at the ephemeral nature of human life."

Niu Jun traveled tirelessly through the Zhen Ding realm, covering thousands of miles in the blink of an eye; time could not hold him back.

On this day, Niu Jun had just participated in a story from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio and gained some mythological power when he suddenly received a message from Bai Suzhen, saying that something strange had happened to Xu Xian and she was unsure of what to do, so she wanted him to help diagnose it.

As it happened, Niu Jun had nothing to do, so he came to Yuhang from the northern plains.

"What happened?"

Niu Jun arrived at Bai Suzhen's home and soon saw Bai Suzhen, who was nine months pregnant and about to give birth.

If nothing unexpected happens, the child in Bai Suzhen's womb is the reincarnation of the God of Literature.

At this moment, Bai Suzhen's face radiated maternal glow.

When she heard Niu Jun's question, she looked embarrassed, as if she didn't know where to begin.

"To be honest, senior."

“My husband has suddenly become very mysterious these past few days. He takes great care of me and even washes my feet himself, which is something that has never happened before.”

“It’s not that I don’t appreciate what I have, but he’s never been this good to me before. I’m a little uneasy. I feel like something’s not right. It’s like he’s become a different person.”

Bai Suzhen said with some difficulty.

"You've become a different person?"

Upon hearing this, Niu Jun asked with some curiosity, "Do you suspect that Xu Xian has been possessed?" Bai Suzhen shook her head, "I have secretly examined my husband's soul, and there is nothing abnormal. There is no sign of possession. However, my husband has changed drastically, and even his personality and behavior are very different from usual."

"I was also unsure, which is why I had no choice but to ask you to come."

There is nothing wrong with his spirit.

Their personality and behavior change drastically.

Upon hearing this, Niu Jun felt a strange sensation.

"Is it possible to investigate through methods such as mind reading, dream entry, or mind control?"

Niu Jun asked thoughtfully.

In fact, it would be virtually impossible for an ordinary person to deceive a thousand-year-old demon like Bai Suzhen.

Even if Xu Xian's past life was somewhat extraordinary, seemingly the reincarnation of a great supernatural being, as long as he did not awaken the true memories of that life, his daily thoughts and ideas could not be hidden from Bai Suzhen.

Hear this.

Bai Suzhen frowned and said, "I have tried, but the effect was not ideal. The mind-reading and mind-controlling techniques I used on my husband had no effect. Even when I entered his dream, it was all a mess."

obviously.

Although Bai Suzhen is also a love-struck person, she is a relatively rational one. She did not lose her rationality because of Xu Xian, nor did she forget that she is a thousand-year-old demon who is about to become an immortal.

She had secretly used the methods Niu Jun mentioned after discovering that Xu Xian was acting strangely.

The results are obvious.

All these methods failed on Xu Xian.

That's why Bai Suzhen sent a message to Niu Jun, asking him to help.

"That's it!"

Upon hearing this, Niu Jun's face turned serious, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "I will only know the specifics after I have met Xu Xian. However, based on your description, I suspect that Xu Xian may have awakened memories from a previous life."

"Of course, this is just a suspicion. We will only know the specifics after we meet Xu Xian."

After Niu Jun finished speaking, he belatedly asked, "By the way, where is Xu Xian? Where did he go?"

Ok.

The only reason to blame Xu Xian is because he has such a low profile.

He subconsciously ignored Xu Xian's presence.

Bai Suzhen said helplessly, "My husband said that it's best to eat more vegetables and fruits during pregnancy, so he went to buy vegetables and fruits early this morning, saying that he would cook for me himself when he got back."

Upon hearing this, Niu Jun fell silent.

Good guy.

Bai Suzhen was a snake demon, and a great snake demon who had cultivated for a thousand years. She was already lacking nutrition after becoming pregnant, and you still made her eat vegetarian food? Isn't that making things difficult for a snake?
However, it's important to eat more vegetables and fruits during pregnancy.

It seems to be the suggestion of some experts in later generations?
Could it be that Xu Xian was really transported to another time?

Niu Jun was very suspicious.

In fact, Niu Jun had such doubts as early as when Bai Suzhen said that Xu Xian washed her feet and that all kinds of magic and supernatural powers were ineffective on her.

Now, hearing the theory that pregnant women should eat more fruits and vegetables only increases my skepticism.

"Madam, I'm back."

As Niu Jun and Bai Suzhen were talking, Xu Xian, carrying a basket, returned.

Let's take a look at the vegetables and fruits in his basket.

Chinese cabbage, cucumber, winter melon, tofu, apple, walnut, longan.

Not bad.

It's supposed to be vegetables and fruits, but there's absolutely no meat in it.

No wonder Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing couldn't possibly like it.

"You're the one who rescued me from Jinshan Temple last time!"

Upon seeing Niu Jun, Xu Xian recognized him almost immediately.

Niu Jun looked Xu Xian up and down and said with a smile, "That's right. Your wife and I are good friends. Last time Fahai took you to Jinshan Temple, it was your wife who asked me to help bring you back."

While talking.

Niu Jun was also constantly scrutinizing Xu Xian.

After a long absence, Xu Xian now stands tall and looks more confident than before, no longer displaying his previous timidity and spoiled nature.

"Since your husband still recognizes me, we can skip the introductions and get right to it."

Niu Junshen glanced at Xu Xian and then spoke to Bai Suzhen.

"Start with what?"

Xu Xian looked puzzled: "Wife, are you hiding something from me?"

Lady White Snake looked at Xu Xian with a gentle expression: "I have invited a senior to treat your illness."

"see a doctor?"

Xu Xian was a little confused, then, as if he had thought of something, he said nervously, "Wife, I'm not sick. Look, I'm perfectly fine. Shall we not trouble you, senior?"

Xu Xian couldn't help but feel nervous.

Because he knew from his past life's memories that it was this person in front of him who brought him out of Jinshan Temple, and even the abbot of Jinshan Temple, Fahai, dared not stop him.

This reveals the terror of the person before you.

What Xu Xian couldn't understand was that he hadn't seen such a terrifying figure when he watched The Legend of the White Snake in his previous life.

past life.

That’s right, it’s the previous life.

The current Xu Xian is a time traveler. Due to a stroke of luck, he somehow transmigrated into the body of Xu Xian, and not only did he get a snake demon wife who was nine months pregnant, but he also got a son out of wedlock.

Of course, Xu Xian was very satisfied with his life after time travel.

After all, in his previous life, he was only at the very bottom of society, and a wife like Bai Suzhen was something he could never have imagined.

So let alone being a sucker and raising a cheap son, he'd be willing to have several of them.

The only thing that worried Xu Xian was Fahai of Jinshan Temple.

After all, in the Legend of the White Snake, Fahai of Jinshan Temple was the one who helped break up the lovers. After his adopted son Xu Shilin was born, he suppressed Bai Suzhen under Leifeng Pagoda.

If that's really the case.

Did his beautiful wife die soon?
Not only does he want to lose his snake fairy wife, but he also wants Bai Yang's son.

This is definitely something Xu Xian cannot accept.

However, Xu Xian soon learned from his past life's memories that his wife, Bai Suzhen, had a powerful demon friend.

When Fahai imprisoned his former self in Jinshan Temple, Bai Suzhen asked her friend to bring him out.

So, seeing that Bai Suzhen was about to give birth, Xu Xian began to think about having Bai Suzhen invite her demon friend to come and keep watch, in order to prevent the monk Fahai of Jinshan Temple from being unethical.

Never thought.

He hadn't even spoken yet.

Bai Suzhen had already invited Niu Jun.

The good news is that with Niu Jun, a powerful demon friend, in charge, there's no need to worry about Fahai taking advantage of the situation.

The bad news is that his wife invited Niu Jun not to deal with Fahai, but to deal with him.

Then he thought about his identity as a time traveler.

Xu Xian was terrified.

In a daze, he seemed to have already seen his tragic end.
