Chapter 90 I Command You to Become the God of the Ox Root
Shangguan Hong and Ouyang Xue quietly followed behind the old woman, winding their way to a secluded corner of the village, where the village chief was already waiting for them.
Upon seeing the village chief, the old woman's face broke into a smile, and she whispered, "It's done!"
The village chief's tense expression turned into the same smile.
The two understood each other without saying a word, and walked side by side into the abandoned house next door, never to be seen again.
Shangguan Hong and her companion remained hidden in place for a long time. Once the surroundings had completely quieted down, they quietly went forward to check, only to find that the house was already empty.
"There's a hidden door."
Shangguan Hong stepped forward to investigate. With her extensive experience in the martial arts world, she quickly located the secret door.
"The whole abandoned house was covered in dust, except for this broken iron pot, which was very clean."
She grabbed the handle of the iron pot and turned it around to the side.
A crack slowly appeared in the floor inside the room, revealing a hidden door leading underground.
Ouyang Xue looked on with admiration and exclaimed sincerely, "Lady Shangguan is truly amazing."
Shangguan Hong smiled slightly.
"It's just some experience from the martial arts world. You'll learn it quickly, Xiaoxue."
The two looked into the dark, secluded passage.
Shangguan Hong hesitated slightly, "Should we inform Young Hero Sheng first before we go down together?"
"He's having a good time right now, but how long are we going to have to wait for him?"
Ouyang Xue's tone rarely showed such a noticeable fluctuation, "Could it be that before you met Young Master Sheng, Lady Shangguan, you always chose to avoid similar situations?"
.
Shangguan Hong was silent for a moment, then replied, "You're right."
"Because of Young Master Sheng's extraordinary strength, I've become too reliant on him."
Shangguan Hong was persuaded by Ouyang Xue, and the two walked side by side into the secret passage. With the help of the dim light, they carefully explored their way into the underground chamber.
The secret passage wasn't deep; after walking about ten meters, you could see the lights below.
The two of them tread lightly and continued forward cautiously.
The so-called underground chamber was only a hundred meters square, with lights on both sides, making it dimly lit, and in the very center was a statue of a god with bull horns on its head.
The statue was only two feet tall, placed on a stone platform, with a huge penis that reached over its head, and its face was deformed and ugly.
The village chief, the old woman, and a small portion of the villagers knelt before the statue, chanting obscure and difficult-to-understand prayers in their local dialect, their expressions devout yet eerie.
Shangguan Hong was puzzled. "Young Master Sheng clearly said there were no ghosts or gods here. Could he have made a mistake?"
"Because their god is dead, and that is just a harmless idol."
Sheng Wansong's voice came softly from behind.
Shangguan Hong, a seasoned traveler, was extremely vigilant. Although surprised to be touched from behind, she made no sound. Ouyang Xue, however, was completely unprepared and nearly cried out in alarm.
Sheng Wansong quickly covered her mouth and nose to prevent them from revealing their whereabouts.
Smelling an unfamiliar female scent on her palm, Ouyang Xue felt uncomfortable and bit her uppermost index finger with her teeth.
She didn't bite very hard, but even an ordinary person would have broken their skin.
This level can only be considered a bit of fun.
Sheng Wansong withdrew his hand and wiped it on Ouyang Xue's feather robe. "Entertaining distinguished guests and offering sacrifices to the gods is the way of life that Niugen Village has practiced since ancient times."
"Even though God is dead, faith is deeply rooted in people's hearts and has not disappeared to this day."
He patted their shoulders lightly. "Come with me."
The three quietly retreated back to the ground. Shangguan Hong teased, "I didn't expect Young Hero Sheng to be so quick?"
"Young Master Sheng's lightness skill is superb, so his speed is naturally fast."
Ouyang Xue didn't get Shangguan Hong's joke and retorted seriously.
Sheng Wansong rolled his eyes at the woman in blue, "Whether you're fast or not, you can try it yourself later. For now, come with me."
He led the two men into the dense forest outside the village.
Not long after entering the forest, a pale white figure was seen standing under a tree.
Combined with the pitch-black environment and the rustling of leaves, it's actually quite frightening at first glance.
"Huh!"
Ouyang Xue was startled.
Only when they reached the figure did they realize that the pale figure was actually Bai Yu.
Bai Yu stood there blankly, his eyes fixed on the skeleton.
A gentle breeze blew by, and the withered bones hanging from the tree swayed in the wind, making a soft clattering sound as they collided.
The skeleton was wearing a Zhengyi robe, clearly indicating that it was a disciple of the Zhengyi sect of Taoism.
After observing the remains for a while, Shangguan Hong drew a conclusion.
"The Taoist priest died from a dent in the back of his head, likely the result of being struck from behind with a blunt object such as a hoe."
C
"The rest of the wounds must have been the result of venting anger by whipping the corpse after death."
Sheng Wansong nodded slightly, agreeing with her judgment: "This Taoist priest of unknown name passed through Niugen Village and sensed the existence of the evil god."
"Although he exorcised the evil god, he could not resist human malice and was killed by the villagers with a hoe."
"Judging from his remains, he was probably quite young. He thought it was an evil god bewitching people, but he underestimated the malice of humankind."
Sheng Wansong cut the rope, letting the bones fall.
"And this Taoist priest is also Miss Bai Yu's biological father."
???
Seeing the two question marks, Sheng Wansong slowly explained, "When a man is dying, his body will spontaneously perform one last physiological reaction."
.
"It was during this time that the old woman gave birth to Baiyu with the Taoist priest."
"Because they believe that the one who kills God will give birth to a new God for them."
"The banquet is to celebrate the birth of the divine child."
Why does Sheng Wansong know so much?
Because the Taoist's soul floats beside the bones; he is not a vengeful spirit, but just an ordinary soul of the dead.
Bai Yu finally spoke, "When I was young, my father often appeared and told me not to believe the lies of the villagers. It wasn't until I was eight years old that I gradually lost my sight."
"My father said that a child's life is not stable and that they may die at any time, so they often see the afterlife."
"And indeed, I never saw him again."
Sheng Wansong followed the previous procedure and buried the bones in the ground.
"Now that the truth is clear, how should we deal with the people in Niugen Village?" Shangguan Hong made a throat-slitting gesture, but her expression clearly showed that she was very conflicted.
The evil god in Niugen Village has been exorcised, and the remaining villagers are just ordinary people without martial arts skills. The biggest challenge is figuring out how to deal with them.
Let them live, otherwise they might prey on other travelers.
Kill them all? It just doesn't feel right to kill a group of ordinary people who didn't directly attack.
They only wanted to borrow sperm and did not show any direct malice towards Sheng Wansong and others.
Sheng Wansong stroked his chin, his gaze fixed on the Taoist priest who was gradually becoming transparent, having entrusted everything and preparing to reincarnate.
"I hereby appoint you as the Ox Root God."
"Whether you seek revenge or lead the villagers to the right path is up to you."
The Taoist priest was stunned, and before he could react, a golden light struck him.
