I became a saint in the world of Liao Zhai, and flirted with monster girls

The faint flames on the nine high mountains flickered, as if bidding farewell to the powerful leader.

Old Zhurong stroked the little boy who also had red hair and placed water drops on the boy's head.

After a flash of azure light, the water droplets disappeared.

Is this what it means when Gonggong angrily touches Buzhou?

"Huainanzi" records: "In the past, Gonggong and Zhuanxu competed for the throne, and Gonggong hit the Buzhou Mountain in anger." Isn't this recorded in the "history books"?

And in the myth, Gonggong fought with Zhurong and angrily hit Buzhou?

"Yes, this is the truth behind Gonggong's angry attack on Mount Buzhou! That Xiang Liu is my father, Xiang Gun."

A woman in white stood behind Zhou Kao and said this, her dress fluttering in the wind, making her look like a lone figure walking in the night.

Her face was as white as the bright moon, with a teardrop mole between her eyebrows and a plain white dress, which made me feel sorry for her.

The woman in white looked at Zhou Kao with a smile, her willow-shaped eyebrows and phoenix eyes narrowed as she carefully looked at the man in front of her.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Mr. Zhou looks even better than he did yesterday! He looks more heroic and less childish. Not bad, really not bad."

"Fourth Lady of the Liu Family, greetings to Mr. Zhou!"

The woman in plain clothes bowed slightly but did not kneel down. She stared at Zhou Kao with her eyes still as charming as ever, as if she wanted to see the changes on the young man's face.

"Is...is it you?"

"My husband has murderous intentions in his heart. Si Niang claims that she has never done anything to offend him. Why does he have such strong hostility in his heart?"

No matter what, Zhou Kao was always afraid of this "god-man" who could destroy the world.

Liu Si Niang walked forward slowly and was very happy when she saw Zhou Kao who had recognized her.

She was happy, but Zhou Kao was not happy.

Muscles tense, right step forward, left step back, ready for battle, in a defensive posture.

"Stop!"

"I don't know why you came. I was sleeping. Did you pull me over to watch Gong Gong crash into the mountain?"

Although it was a question, the tone was affirmative.

"You're not just here to exchange pleasantries, are you? I appreciate your help in restraining that water monkey, but Madam Xiangliu, what advice do you have for me visiting you so late at night?"

"Call me Si Niang. I'm not married yet, how can I call you Madam?"

"You heartless person, you are eating meat and drinking wine here, but do you know that I didn't sleep all night to save you?"

Seeing Liu Si Niang about to hold his arm, Zhou Kao got goosebumps all over his body.

If you didn't know how terrifying her true form was, the atmosphere would be quite charming.

"Why did Si Niang help me?"

"You are the one I like, how could I harm you? We are the same kind of people, my husband!"

There were so many things to say, but looking at Liu Si Niang's smiling face, he didn't know where to start.

This woman was also taking advantage of the situation. While she was lost in thought, she had her arm around his and her face was approaching his ear.

Zhou Kao was unmoved.

Liu Si Niang's slender fingers were curling her soft hair, and she looked at the unromantic man in front of her with resentment.

"Okay, I won't say any more. Look at you, it's really sad. I've done so much for you, and you can't even say a word of thanks."

"Spoof, I won't talk to you anymore."

Looking at Zhou Kao slowly disappearing in the dream, Si Niang slowly sighed.

"The world has forgotten that Xiangliu is a human, not a vicious beast."

"Xiang Liu's nine heads correspond to nine negative emotions: anger, resentment, jealousy, lust, hatred, laziness, greed, arrogance, and stubbornness. As long as these nine emotions remain in sentient beings, Xiang Yao is merely a container, while Xiang Liu remains immortal."

"We, the descendants of Suiren, are adept at using our wisdom to gain the advantage of time and place, competing with the heavens and the earth, exploring our own potential, and are also extremely skilled at plundering the various rules and wonders of heaven and earth."

"Mr. Zhou, we are those who go against the will of heaven. Therefore, we cannot become gods. Because those who devour the rules are destined not to be recognized by the gods in heaven."

"Father~~~ We are exhausted both physically and mentally. We used to be able to suppress it, but now we can no longer tell whether this desire is born from ourselves or from Xiangliu, so..."

Zhou Kao woke up and felt that he had become stronger and had the ability to control water. He had no desire to sleep anymore.

He simply had an idea and called a dragon horse. After passing Yu Lake, he entered the river, crossed the river to Jinling Prefecture, and then searched along the river bank for the remaining breath of the old crocodile king.

I thought there would be no result, but I met two ghost messengers halfway, but they were not walking, but driving a carriage.

A breath came from the carriage. Zhou Kao was stunned and wanted to ask, but he seemed to be thinking about something and continued to travel in the opposite direction.

After Zhou Kao left, the two ghost messengers said on horseback:

"Old Madam, could it be that you knew Mr. Zhou when you were alive?"

"Ah? How could I know the old woman?"

"That's strange. He clearly stopped for a moment just now, wanting to ask something."

"Oh..." The old lady in the carriage suddenly realized something. "Could it be that my son knows him?"

At this time, Zhou Kao had already arrived at the bank of an inner river and saw a small courtyard decorated in mourning, but the man was not sad. He went forward to take a look and found out that a centenarian of the Liu family had passed away.

"May I ask why the mourning inside and outside the palace seems to indicate someone has passed away, and why there is no sadness?"

Zhou Kao asked knowingly but still asked.

The funeral attendants saw that he was tall and strong, and thought he was just a passerby, so they answered readily:

"It's because my great-uncle grandmother passed away at the age of 101, which is considered a happy event in this area."

"Since he is a centenarian, we should offer incense and kowtow to him."

After saying this, Zhou Kao casually wrapped a silver coin in hemp as an apology for the inconvenience, and then kowtowed and burned incense in the courtyard.

He saw that although the courtyard was simple, it was kept clean, so he knew that even if the descendants of this family did not come to take care of it, they must have helped with cleaning in the past.

It is very rare to see the window sills free of dust and the corrugated tiles free of grass.

Even in Yangzhou, Zhou Kao had seen many elderly people living in thatched huts with no one to take care of them.

After some inquiries, I learned that her family name was Liu, and she was the great-aunt of the person in charge of funerals. She had a rough life: she lost her father when she was young, her husband when she was middle-aged, and her son when she was old. She lived as a widow for more than 40 years and did not want to trouble the younger generation, so she made a living by washing clothes.

After her death, seventy or eighty taels of silver were found, most of which were gifts and care from her younger generations. However, she lived a pure life and hardly used any of them.

Instead, there are many younger generations who help out their former neighbors.

So, after Zhou Kao burned incense and kowtowed, two or three hundred people came to kowtow, including men, women, young and old, which made Zhou Kao, a foreigner, very moved.

"So that's how it is. That soft-hearted Crocodile King actually underwent a major transformation here."

"This is what enlightenment is like..."

Chapter 198 The Underworld

After gaining some information on the south bank of the river, Zhou Kao quickly returned to the north bank. After returning to "Yu Lake", he saw a spiritual boat on the lake swaying and moving slowly forward.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the local city god and his ghost soldiers salvaging property there.

I saw the City God standing at the bow of the boat, stamping his feet, beating his chest, and crying loudly:

"That was all my savings over the years! It's all gone! Now the City God Temple is flooded, what should I do?!"

Zhou Kao was riding a dragon horse on the water when he passed by this place. He took a quick glance and saw that the ghost soldiers on the spirit boat had salvaged some silver, carriages and horses made of paper. Now they had been soaked in the lake water and were in tatters. They were really "ruined".

"Master! Master! Look, look over there, isn't that... isn't that..."

One of the clerks also looked like a drowned rat. He shook off a handful of water grass from his face and pointed at Zhou Kao and shouted excitedly.

Seeing him crying and wailing for his property, Zhou Kao guessed that this City God was most likely related to one of the royal relatives of the dynasty, and that he had been granted the position of god through backdoor channels.

No matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem like a person of noble character in his lifetime.

But it's hard to say - if you pretend to be a hypocrite all your life, then you are a gentleman; what happens after death cannot be said about what happened during your lifetime.

Zhou Kao didn't intend to pay any more attention to it and was ready to row away.

However, when the City God saw Zhou Kao, he seemed to have found a life-saving straw and quickly shouted:

"Zhou Yixian! Zhou Yixian, please stay! Please stay!"

"..."

Zhou Kao didn't want to pay attention and continued moving forward.

The City God was immediately anxious and ordered his men to stop the salvage operation. He urged them to sail and catch up. Then he bowed deeply and said sincerely:

"Prince Zhou, Prince Zhou, it's my fault...it's my fault, it's my fault..."

"You...how can you be so..."

"I have always been shameless."

"..."

The City God has already risked everything. Why is he still pretending now? His government office is gone, and the local City God system is completely destroyed. He might even be dismissed and investigated. By then, he can only work as a minor official.

But if he reincarnates directly, then all his efforts would be in vain!

He planned to accumulate good karma and then be reborn as a human being, so that he could be reborn into a good family.

The idea is good, but the current situation is - it is not allowed!!!

The Yuwangzhou is gone, what’s the point of playing!

"What are you doing?!"

"This humble official, this humble official, is simply following the orders of Lord Zhou. I only ask that this humble official's good deeds be preserved."

After saying that, the local City God immediately started talking, mainly hoping that Zhou Kao could help and say a few good words for the City God in this matter, preferably by making up some merits.

It doesn't matter if it's just a fabrication, as long as it can preserve his good karma, the rest is up to him to go to the underworld and get things done - he'll have to sell everything he has to get it done.

Zhou Kao rejected it directly: "You wishful thinking, do you know how many innocent souls were lost in this battle?!"

"One hundred and eighty-five thousand seven hundred and sixty-two."

One judge blurted out, and then added, "These are the humans who died immediately, and some more will die from the plague later..."

Zhou Kao was so angry that he wanted to slap the judge to death, but the City God stepped forward and kicked the judge to the ground, then quickly said with a smile:

"Mr. Zhou, as long as I maintain my good karma, I can help guide the local souls elsewhere. You must know that without the City God, the local ghosts would be nothing but wandering ghosts. If they attract evil cultivators to perform rituals and practices, wouldn't that be disastrous?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Kao remembered the incident at Black Wind Mountain - the hundreds of big ghosts outside Beiguo City were the result of someone's behind-the-scenes mischief.

After careful consideration, what the City God said does make sense.

Zhou Kao then said, "It's impossible for me to fabricate your achievements. Tell me about something else."

"Ah this..."

The City God was sweating profusely from anxiety, then an idea struck him, and he quickly asked:

"I wonder who else, besides Prime Minister Zhou, has performed the most outstanding acts of righteousness in this battle?"

"Well……"

Zhou Kao hesitated for a moment. To be fair, the only person who could save so many people in Yuwangzhou this time, apart from himself and Xiangliu, should be the demon king, the Golden Armored Crocodile King.

The second is Zhu Yiran.

Without the Golden Armored Crocodile King burning his magic power and sacrificing his cultivation, there would be no way to save so many people in an instant.

"There was a demon king from another land, nicknamed the Golden Armored Crocodile King. He used his body to build a giant boat covering a thousand acres, saving countless people. The boat later transformed into the Golden Dragon Dike in the northeast of the lake. As for its tail, I made it into a house guardian to ward off evil spirits. It is now located in the center of the state capital at the bottom of the lake."

"Golden Armored Crocodile King? A great demon king, sacrificing his own life to save others, this is a story that will be passed down through the ages!"

The City God's eyes lit up, then he frowned and muttered:

"Why would it, a demon king, change its temperament so drastically?!"

"It was blessed by a centenarian woman who lived by the south bank of the Yangtze River, and it gained enlightenment. That's why it became like this."

"South bank of the Yangtze River? Could it be Jinling Prefecture?"

The City God's face instantly fell, obviously this was a little inconsistent with his expectations.

Zhou Kao did not hide anything and told the residence of the centenarian old lady of the Hong family.

The City God was immediately delighted: "That is a no-man's land, not even Jinling."
