I'm not a god anymore

Quietly glanced at the wolf god outside the door, Huo Feng sighed, but it was hard to tell the matter.

After all, although the behavior of the second young master of the Wu family was a bit domineering, it was not considered a big treacherous evil.

If you slander yourself behind your back, isn't it the act of a villain?

Even if I want to say something, I should investigate clearly...

After thinking for a long time, Huo Feng finally made up his mind to go to the city to inquire about it in the next few days.If the second young master of the Wu family really has bad deeds, then he must report this matter to the wolf god.

Because of something on his mind, Huo Feng ate this dinner in silence.

At the dinner table, Lu Heng was not a talkative person either. He occasionally asked a few words about his experience in the city today, and then stopped asking.

After dinner, Huo Feng brought the little Gu carving into the house. In the courtyard outside, Lu Heng was left alone again.

But today's Lu Heng did not cultivate his understanding any more, but quietly looked in the direction of the Wu family mansion.

There, under the night sky, bright fireworks rose up, illuminating the night sky of the city.

It was a sign that Mrs. Wu was about to leave the city. Every half an hour, fireworks would be launched from the mansion of Wu's house until after midnight.

And in this small courtyard, there was an extra figure at some point.

With a dark black robe and a tall figure, it was Zhu He Lanzhen, the shaman of Nafu Mountain City.

"I have seen the wolf god," He Lanzhen bowed and saluted.

The white-clothed man in the courtyard also bowed back and said, "I'm sorry, Helan Wuzhu."

He Lanzhen shook her head and said, "It's a little effort, God Wolf is very polite."

Lu Heng smiled and said, "The time has come, then I'll leave the city later."

"Okay," He Lanzhen replied concisely.

Afterwards, the figures of the two disappeared from the courtyard and headed towards the Pangjiang River outside the city together.

The purpose of their trip is to be the place where Wu's house will hold the cremation ceremony for the old man tonight.

Lu Heng, holding the Youming Soul Suppressing Seal, wanted to try to save the old man's soul.

Chapter 114

After leaving the small courtyard, the two figures flew straight into the night sky and headed out of the city.

As for Lu Heng's body, the huge white wolf, was still resting in the room.

The one who left the city on this trip was the incarnation of Lu Heng's primordial spirit.

As for his plan for this trip, Lu Heng did not know that he would meet He Lanzhen.He just invited He Lanzhen to accompany him to watch the funeral of the old man of the Wu family outside the city tonight.

After all, Lu Heng is only holding the Nether Seal for the first time, and he doesn't know if he can really lure the soul of the old man of the Wu family into the underworld.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you boasted in advance but couldn't do it?

In the night sky of the city, the departure of two figures, one white and one black, did not attract anyone's attention.

Although the wizard on duty in the city noticed the passing of these two figures, but with He Lanzhen as his companion, the wizard didn't dare to come over to inquire.

Otherwise, according to the usual practice, if there are monks flying over the city, the wizard on duty will interrogate them to stop them.

And this is also an important reason why Lu Heng invited He Lanzhen to go with him.

His soul incarnation is not easy to walk in the city, if he wants to travel, he can only fly.With He Lanzhen accompanying him, many troubles were avoided.

Soon, the two of them flew out of the tall and majestic Fushan City, and came to the bank of the Pengshui River outside the city.

On the pier in the distance, the lights are bright, even when it is close to midnight, there are porters and boatmen coming and going.

Lu Heng and He Lanzhen stood in the night sky, overlooking the scenery below them.

At their feet, a huge firewood pile had already been piled up.The pale spirit banner swayed in the night.

In the river not far away, there was the sound of the water and the strong wind.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, Helan Wuzhu."

He Lanzhen nodded, and the two sat down in the night sky, waiting for the Wujia team that was leaving the city to arrive.

And the people of the Wu family didn't make them wait too long, and soon amidst a burst of loud suona sounds, the Wu family members in sackcloth and filial piety surrounded the coffin of the old man of the Wu family and came towards here.

The little girl with silver hair and animal ears carried an ancient bronze sword on her back and silently followed the team.

Beside the coffin, Wu Zhiyuan, the second youngest of the Wu family, hugged his father's coffin, crying as he walked.

"Wow! Dad, you just left... You didn't wait for the child to come back to look at you again..."

"The poor child has been away from home for many years, and when he comes back again, it will be an eternal separation..."

Wu Zhiqian, who was also holding the spiritual tablet not far away, had a gloomy expression when he heard the exaggerated crying and howling.

He wanted to cry at first, but Wu Zhiyuan cried so fakely and disgustingly that it was hard for him to cry anymore.

Hence the gloomy mood.

But Wu Zhiyuan walked while crying.

When they came to the river with the coffin, all the Wu clan members knelt down and kowtowed farewell to the old man's coffin.

Afterwards, some servants carried the old man's coffin onto the firewood pile.

Below, the white spirit banners were unfurled, and the children of the Xiao family knelt down row after row.

Both Wu Zhiyuan and Wu Zhiqian were kneeling in the first row, but they were on one side, far apart from each other.

Wu Zhiyuan was still holding the spiritual tablet, crying loudly.

At this time, a thin middle-aged man came to him, he was Wu Zhiyuan's confidant.His name is Zhang Er, and he served Wu Zhiyuan together with his brother Zhang Da.

Zhang Er said in a low voice, "Second Young Master, I have already found out clearly. The silver-haired beast-eared monster named Lu Ai attended the old man's funeral on behalf of his master."

"She suddenly appeared today, she is not an old acquaintance of the eldest son, so you don't have to worry about her helping the eldest son for the time being."

The content of his subordinate's report made Wu Zhiyuan nod his head, and said in a low voice, "So that's how it is..."

Then he raised his head, wailed heart-piercingly, and then said in a low voice, "But to be on the safe side, let grandma come over. Only with grandma in charge can we be safe."

The monkey-cheeked Zhang Er smiled and said, "My elder brother has already gone to invite her. Grandma will be here in a short time. You can rest assured, Second Young Master."

Wu Zhiyuan laughed twice, then howled loudly, "Father! I miss you! Open your eyes and look at me!"

The exaggerated cry made the corner of Zhang Er's mouth twitch when he heard it, and he couldn't help reminding him in a low voice.

"Second Young Master, your crying is too fake..."

Wu Zhiyuan grinned and howled loudly twice, "Father! Quickly open your eyes and look at the baby!"

After howling, he lowered his head, almost couldn't hold back his laughing expression, his whole body was shaking.

"Pfft...haha..." Wu Zhiyuan laughed lowly and said with a twitch, "I almost can't help but want to laugh out loud, how can I cry..."

After finishing speaking, he raised his throat and howled loudly again.

"Father! You left so suddenly, my son is so sad!"

At this time, the wizard who invited the abbot to the funeral from the Fire Temple had finished all the rituals and lit the fire directly.

Soon, the firewood piled up by the river burst into scorching flames, and began to crazily roast the corpses lying quietly in the coffin.

The burnt smell wafted along the river wind.

In the night sky, Lu Heng stood up and summoned the Nether Suppressing Soul Seal, and took the old man of the Wu family's soul away when he left his body.

But when Lu Heng and He Lanzhen stood up, a figure in the torrential river on the other side disappeared in a flash, and also appeared in the night sky.

Lu Heng was a little surprised when he saw the other party's appearance.

"Eh? Empress Jiang Shen?"

The one who appeared from the middle of the river was dressed in a divine robe and had a solemn face. He seemed a bit awkward and daunting.It was Gu Zhou, the water god of the Pangjiang River that he had met before.

When Lu Heng called her, Gu Zhou also saw two figures in the night sky, a little surprised.

She hurriedly leaned over and bowed deeply to Lu Heng, "Gu Zhou has met benefactor."

Then she stood up straight and nodded to He Lanzhen, "I've met He Lan Wuzhu."

He Lanzhen also nodded, as a return gift, keeping silent as usual.

But Gu Zhou didn't care, he seemed to be used to it.

She smiled and said to Lu Heng, "I didn't expect to meet Engong here...Did Engong come to watch the Wu family's funeral?"

"Well, I have an old relationship with Mrs. Wu's father, so I came here to take a look," Lu Heng said casually, "But why is Jiang Shen empress here?"

Looking at the blazing flames below, Gu Zhou said, "I'm here to guide Old Master Wu's soul into the water mansion."

After speaking, seeing Lu Heng's surprised face, Gu Zhou explained with a smile.

"After the souls of mortals leave their bodies, they will gradually dissipate from the heaven and the earth. But before dissipating, these souls are often chaotic and helpless, and they are exposed to the wind and sun like lonely ghosts. In the end, the unexamined pain dissipates, which is extremely miserable. "

"So when my husband was still alive, he taught the concubine the art of attracting souls. For the deceased on both sides of the Pangjiang River, as long as he enshrines the concubine and has a little incense with the concubine, after his death, the concubine will let him The Yaksha of the Water Mansion went to introduce his soul into the Water Mansion, so as to save him from the pain of the wind and the sun, and wait for it to dissipate quietly, which is considered a good deed."

"And like this old man of the Wu family, who once offered a lot of incense and did good deeds, occasionally the concubine will come to the scene in person and lead him into the water mansion to show respect."

Gu Zhou smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet En Gong tonight, it's my honor."

Chapter 115

Lu Heng was stunned by Gu Zhou's explanation.

"So that's how it is," Lu Heng said, "This move by the Goddess of the River is indeed a good deed to benefit the villagers. However, the spirit of Old Master Wu may not be able to go to the water mansion with the Goddess of the River this time."

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Lu has an old relationship with Wu, and he came here tonight to guide the soul of Old Master Wu to a hidden place...Oh? The soul of Old Master Wu seems to have left his body."

While Lu Heng was speaking, wisps of white smoke rose into the sky along with the smoke from the burning firewood from the burning pile of tall fires under his feet.

The white smoke is illusory, and ordinary people cannot see it.

Even practitioners, if their cultivation base is not enough, they may not be able to sense it.

——For example, practitioners like Lu Heng who haven't even opened the gate of heaven can't sense the spirit of the soul in theory.

But with the Nether Soul Suppressing Seal in his hand, he was the first to notice the soul energy among the three present.

Under the dark night, the blazing fire was raging, and from time to time there was the sound of cracking firewood.

The filial sons and grandsons of the Wu family all knelt on the periphery of the fire, kowtowing to the fire from time to time under the command of the etiquette wizard.

Further out, are the accompanying guests, relatives and friends, as well as some city residents who came to join in the fun.

The riverside was crowded with people, and the sound of suona and mournful music continued to be heard to send the old man Wu away.

In the night sky, Lu Heng beckoned directly, slowly leading the wisp of illusory white smoke to his body.

Then, under the gaze of Gu Zhou and He Lanzhen, the wisps of white smoke gradually revealed a human figure around Lu Heng, vaguely forming the appearance of an old man.

This scene surprised both Gu Zhou and He Lanzhen.

He Lanzhen was silent, but Gu Zhou spoke directly in surprise.

"Ben Gong, can you summon spirits?" Gu Zhou Zhou looked surprised.

Although she has also led the souls of many good people who have done good deeds to the water mansion, the yakshas under her command often do such things.

But whether it is the yakshas under her seat or herself, they are guarding the cremation place, and will not go forward to receive the deceased until the body of the deceased is cremated, the soul gradually leaves the body, and fully manifests to the outside world.

But the wolf god actually skipped the waiting process and directly summoned the soul of the old man Wu?

Both Gu Zhou and He Lanzhen looked surprised, but at the riverside under Lu Heng's feet, among the crowd watching the excitement, a red-haired woman also spied this scene, and directly spit out a sip of wine with a surprised expression.

It is not that there is no art of summoning souls and spirits in this world. Some vicious spells and Gu arts can even pull the souls of living people out of their bodies and torture them.

If people with low cultivation and vision see this scene of Lu Heng summoning the spirit, they won't find anything unusual at all. At most, they will think that Lu Heng's hands are light and seem to be very skillful.

But the three people who watched this scene were all people with outstanding eyesight. They could see at a glance that Lu Heng's soul-calling technique was completely different from ordinary people's soul-calling.

First of all, he did not make any surgical preparations.All three people present could feel that the wolf god didn't use any mana when he summoned his soul.

Secondly, when he summoned the soul of Mrs. Wu, the gradually solidified soul did not suffer any pain from being dragged by violence.

Being able to do these two things at the same time is almost like... Lu Hengyan has the ability to follow the law and control the soul!

Only an envoy with power can be so understated without the slightest fireworks.
