Fengdu Qinwang Palace

Chapter 498: Fengdu Qinwang Palace

Qin Mu and Long Qilin had dazed expressions, looking up at the huge creature beside them, unable to speak.

The giant Taotie beast stood beside them, like a goat the size of a mountain, with extremely strong forelimbs and short and thick hind limbs, and its fur had bronze patterns in circles.

This huge monster has a human-like face, but its facial features are extremely strange. Its eyes are located in its armpits, where its front legs meet its chest. Its mouth is square and wide, covered with fangs, and its horns are raised like thorns, making it look extremely ferocious!

The box of Xing'an is made of the skin and bones of Taotie. The skin is the cover of the box, and the bones are the skeleton of the box.

You know, Qin Mu has two Taotie bags, and the Taotie skin used in the two Taotie bags is only about a foot in size, while the outside of this big box is made entirely of Taotie skin!

Add to that the Taotie bones inside that are used to support the space, and this box is truly luxurious beyond compare!

Qin Mu's Taotie bag did not change because the internal space was not connected to the outside world, but the box turned into a Taotie because it was connected to the external space!

The box changed relatively slowly, probably because the space inside the box was a world of its own. After vomiting out the people in the stomach this time, the box was opened, so the internal space was connected to Fengdu, so that the box was also affected by Fengdu's world of the dead.

Qin Mu retracted his gaze and hurriedly grabbed the Taotie bag on his waist, thinking: "My Taotie bag must be put away properly. Don't open it. Otherwise, it won't be two Taotie bags tied around my waist, but two Taotie tied around my waist..."

Being hung on the waist and sandwiched between two Taotie as big as mountains is definitely not a pleasant experience. No matter if they squeeze or pull you, you will die miserably!

The Taotie transformed from the big box raised its paw, still wondering, and couldn't figure out why it had undergone such a change.

But it didn't think much about it. It immediately ran away, chasing after those people who were running towards Fengdu, and opened its big mouth with joy, swallowing those people.

Although it was influenced by the world of the dead and had flesh and blood, its thinking was still relatively simple. After all, it was just a box awakened by Qin Mu.

The dead people being chased by it were so frightened that they ran for their lives.

Taotie is the most famous and ferocious beast in Daxu. It eats everything and is never picky about food. No wonder they were scared and ran away.

Qin Mu hesitated for a moment and called out. The Taotie ran back again, looked back at the dead who had escaped with reluctance, then looked at Long Qilin, and couldn't help but feel happy again, opening its huge mouth.

Long Qilin was horrified and said quickly, "Don't eat me! I treat you as a good brother, but you want to eat me. Is there any justice in this world?"

Qin Mu comforted him, "Don't worry, it doesn't want to eat you, but it likes to collect bones and broken limbs... Spit it out, spit it out quickly! Dead box, stinky box, it ate me too! Spit it out quickly..."

…

Finally, they arrived at the first divine city in Fengdu. Here, Qin Mu saw all kinds of strange pedestrians. Some had no heads, some had a big hole on their foreheads, and some were missing arms or legs.

However, there are also some strong people who died of natural causes and have their hands and feet intact.

There were many people in the first divine city, and there were also strange creatures wandering in the air. They didn’t look like dead people, but like spirits.

"Those are powerful men whose souls have been scattered. Their residual souls are wandering here. Even in Fengdu, they don't have physical bodies."

The bird-headed god Chi Xiu said, "Don't look at them, or they will take over your body."

Qin Mu quickly withdrew his gaze, but he became curious again. He did not look at the wandering souls in the air, but looked at other people.

Soon, he discovered something strange. In addition to the residual souls in the air, there were actually people here without bodies!

He saw that many people had no physical body at all, only their souls were left!

Even if only their primordial spirits are left, these people are extremely powerful. However, because the form of the primordial spirit is different from that of the human body, they often appear in the form of gods and monsters.

The most common are the spirit forms of the four great spirit bodies, namely the Vermillion Bird, the Black Tortoise, the Azure Dragon and the White Tiger.

But most of the souls do not have these four forms, but all kinds of strange forms, including ghost-faced gods with green faces and fangs, bull-headed gods with fire wrapped around their bodies and horns on their heads, snake-bodied gods with human heads and snake bodies, and gods with three heads and six arms. There are all kinds of forms.

"These people are not residual souls, their primordial spirits are intact. Where did they come from? They are here with only primordial spirits but no physical bodies. Doesn't that mean that their physical bodies are still alive?"

Qin Mu suddenly thought of the key.

The physical bodies of these spirits are still alive!

His eyes widened. There were many souls in the city. During the time he had been in the city alone, he had seen more than 200 souls in various forms. Doesn't this mean that more than 200 gods were still alive?

Where in this world are there more than 200 gods?

Not only that, the more than 200 souls were just the ones he saw when he first entered the city. It can be seen that there are even more souls in this city!

This city was just one of the sacred cities in Fengdu. According to what he saw when he climbed up here last time, there should be many cities in Fengdu. Last time he saw either nine or ten cities, and each city was very huge!

So, how many living gods are there in this world?

"Why would these gods abandon their bodies and enter Fengdu? Where are their bodies... Wait a minute!"

Qin Mu's head was buzzing, blood and energy were rushing into his brain, and his ears were buzzing.

There are so many gods in this world!

But these gods have all turned into stone statues!

A stone statue that protects one side in the ruins!

Doesn’t this mean that these stone statues may be resurrected at any time and become gods?

This speculation is shocking!

Qin Mu has always been troubled by various strange events in Daxu. If this guess is true, he can explain some of the strangeness.

For example, the incident where the stone statue of the Heavenly King in the Tianwang Temple rode on a dragon unicorn and killed the Dragon King at night!

For example, the resurrection of the White Bat statue in Minggu!

For example, he and the village chief wandered around Daxu at night and witnessed a battle between gods and demons in the night!

Of course, there are still many things that cannot be explained. In the Night Slashing of the Dragon King incident, the Heavenly King of the Temple of Heaven was following the Emperor Kaihuang's order to kill the rebellious Dragon King. Where did this Emperor Kaihuang's order come from?

In the White Bat Statue Resurrection Incident, why is there a fossil of a deity that looks like a Tyrant in the depths of the Dark Valley? Why is there a passage connecting to the Netherworld?

In the battle between gods and demons, who was the opponent fighting against the gods and demons of Daxu?

Moreover, the gods and spirits of Fengdu could not explain the phenomenon of the five overlapping worlds at the source of Yongjiang River, nor could they explain the event of Qin Mu returning to ancient times.

"The strange phenomena in Daxu are just like the sea of ​​fog outside Fengdu. When you push away the fog, fog will appear again. It is difficult to see its true appearance." Qin Mu thought to himself.

They came to a river in the city, the river was very wide, and there was a flying bridge connecting the two banks. He stood on the bridge and looked down, but saw fog rolling in the river, but no water, and occasionally he could see a slippery body swimming in the mist.

"Is this place connected to the sea of ​​fog?" he asked.

The bird-headed god Chi Xiu said, "No. The other side of the mist is Netherworld, and those things are creatures in Netherworld."

"Youdu creature?"

Qin Mu's mind was in a daze, and he muttered, "Fengdu is connected to Youdu? Wouldn't Youdu attack here?"

The Chixiu deity did not explain, but led them across the Naihe Bridge to a temple in the city. This temple was called the Qinwang Temple. Qin Mu was stunned when he saw the three characters Qinwang Temple on the plaque.

"Why is this temple called the Qin Palace? Could it be that the palace master also has the surname Qin?"

He was wondering in his heart that the bird-headed deity Chi Xiu was leading them into the hall. At this moment, the hall was brightly lit, but the lights gave people a false feeling, as if they were not real flames, and the light was dim.

On both sides of the hall are majestic sculptures of ghosts and gods. They are tall, with strange faces and limbs different from those of ordinary people. These ghost and god sculptures are surrounded by ribbons behind them, and they hold various weapons in their hands, such as swords, spears, shields, tokens, and some even hold giant snakes.

Qin Mu stood in front of a statue and looked at it carefully, wanting to check the rune marks on their bodies. Suddenly, the eyes of the ghost statue rolled and looked at him curiously.

Qin Mu was startled and took a step back in a hurry. The eyes of the ghost statue were facing forward again, and he thought for a moment that he was seeing things.

"These are not statues, but real ghosts and gods!"

Qin Mu immediately calmed down and followed the footsteps of the Chixiu deity.

In the main hall of the palace, a god in a black robe sat upright, reviewing memorials and busy with work.

The god Chi Xiu bowed and said, "Reporting to the King of Hell, the prisoners Qin Mu, Xing An, and Wei Wu Shen have been captured and brought to justice, awaiting their fate!"

The black-robed deity put down the cinnabar pen in his hand and raised his head. His face could not be seen under the black robe, only two dark eyes could be seen.

"Xing'an still has some life left, so he is not under the jurisdiction of Fengdu. Let's release him."

The divine man Chixiu was slightly startled, but still released Xingan as he was told.

"Xing'an, even though you have committed many evil deeds, Fengdu doesn't care about the living."

The King of Hell said, "You can leave now."

Xing An was surprised and delighted, and sneered: "It turns out that Fengdu is still a reasonable place. Very good, goodbye!"

He was about to move, but the other twenty or thirty bodies on him were unwilling, making it impossible for him to move!

Xing An was shocked and angry, and those bodies were struggling, screaming, cursing, and demanding his life!

"How can there be noise in the palace of the King of Qin?"

The King of Hell was displeased and said, "Get out with the fork."

Suddenly, the two "sculptures" of ghosts and gods moved. The two ghost kings held steel forks, and together they picked up Xing'an and threw him out of the hall.

Xing An said angrily: "Didn't you say you would let me go? Why did you keep me in Fengdu?"

The Chixiu God sneered, "You don't leave, so how can you blame others? You are ignorant."

The King of Hell looked at the Wushen Kui, who was not afraid at all. He sneered and said, "My life span is not over yet, Old Qin, shouldn't you let me go too?"

"Old Qin?"

Qin Mu was shocked: "The King of Hell also has the last name Qin? Who is he?"

The King of Hell said calmly: "It is not difficult for me in Fengdu to take people's lives. You have done too many evil things. Many people in Fengdu died in your hands. You made their souls fly away. Your death is not a pity."

The Wushen Kui was fearless and laughed, "Then what can you do to me? Your Fengdu is just a territory snatched from Youdu. Fengdu is just a gathering place for the remnants, which was built to imitate Youdu in an attempt to overthrow the world! The Youdu Taoist magic you master is just some crude stuff, which is not worthy of my attention. Compared with the Youdu magic of the Heavenly Court, you are far inferior. I was granted a title by the sky and am not under the jurisdiction of Youdu. I can die at the hands of anyone, but I will not be hurt by Youdu's Taoism! You can't kill me!"

The King of Hell was unmoved, and said calmly: "So this time I captured you not to kill you, but to understand my opponent through you. Take the Three Lives Mirror, explore his Taoist magic and life experience, and know ourselves and the enemy!"

A ghost king in the Qin Palace walked down from the altar and came directly before the witch god Wei. The ghost king had green skin, two pitifully small wings behind him, horns on his head, a green face, fangs, and an abnormally large mouth.

He suddenly opened his mouth, which suddenly became bigger than his body, so big that it was creepy!

His big mouth was like a portal, and the light gathered in the portal, turning into a huge mirror, reflecting the Wushen.

The witch god Wei covered his face and screamed, and suddenly his body turned into a wisp of green smoke and was reflected in the mirror.

The Wu God Wei was sucked into the mirror. The scenery in the mirror kept changing, and it actually reversed the life of the Wu God Wei, starting from the time he was captured by the God Chi Xiu. It was like time was flowing backwards, constantly going back to the past.

Various scenes in the mirror are displayed in a cursory manner: Xing'an subdues Wei Wushen, Wei Wushen is ambushed by Dazun, Wei Wushen holds the Book of Life and Death to kill hundreds of millions of people, kills enemy generals, and then to the battle of Kaihuang Heaven. The time in the mirror flows to ancient times, and more and more of his experiences are reflected without reservation!

Qin Mu's scalp tingled. Who could still have secrets when viewed through this Three Lives Mirror?
