Starting From Zero

Chapter 38 Demon Crisis

After Erlangshen finished his work, he wanted to see if we had come out of the gourd, so he decided to go to the place where the Qiankun gourd was stored to confirm.

"God Lord!" The guarding god general saluted quickly when he saw Erlang Shen.

Erlangshen nodded. "Is Qiankun Gourd okay?"

"It's okay, we're always here to watch."

"Yeah. Let's go in and have a look." Erlangshen was about to open the tower door when he suddenly felt something was wrong under his feet. He paused and fanned away the clouds and mist covering his feet a few times. "Where did the water come from?"

The general God also looked at Erlangshen's words after hearing them. "It's weird! There's so much water!"

The ground in heaven is covered with a thin layer of clouds and mist, so even if there is water on the ground, you won't know it unless you step on it. After seeing the water, the god general opened up the clouds and followed the water traces to find the source of the water. He found that the water had been extending through the gate of the tower behind him.

"Open the door quickly." Erlang Shen ordered.

The god general quickly opened the door with a special seal, and other god generals also ran in. The ground inside the tower was also shrouded in fog, but after everyone dispersed the mist, they discovered that the ground was completely covered with water. Although the water was not deep, it was just a thin layer, but it was already a lot. This is not Yao Chi, so why is there so much water?

"Sir, look at the gourd of heaven and earth!" A god general suddenly shouted. His voice made everyone focus on the gourd on the central lotus platform.

At this time, the gourd of heaven and earth is still standing on the lotus platform, but the cover of the gourd is missing. The top opening of the Qiankun Gourd has a suction seal created by the combined efforts of the gods. Any creature that comes close will be sucked in. Normally, Erlangshen and the others should have been sucked into the gourd at this time, but not only were they not sucked in , on the contrary, there is no feeling of suction at all.

It would be okay if it didn't suck anything. After all, Heaven just needs to use it as a prison to trap those monsters. I don't expect to use it to collect quilt items. In other words, as long as it is in good condition, it doesn't matter whether it can be used or not. But now the gourd is intact, but water is spraying out from its outlet.

The gourd is now pouring out water like a small fountain, but the water column is not high and the speed is not fast. The small water column sprayed out for about two centimeters and then began to disperse around. It did not really spray. It felt as if the water pressure was restricted by something.

Erlangshen remained motionless. He waved back with one hand and said: "Go and report to the Jade Emperor quickly, saying there is something wrong with the seal of the Qiankun Gourd."

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the god general turned around and ran, but he hit the wall and bounced back. He was so nervous that he even forgot that there was a wall behind him, but now he couldn't care so much, and jumped from the ground Jumped up and ran out again.

In fact, Erlangshen's guess was not correct. The Gourd of Heaven and Earth is a magic weapon jointly used by the gods to suppress the demon gods. How can something of this level be damaged so easily. The super suction seal is actually still working. If it hadn't been for it, this small water column would have torn off the roof. Instead of being like now, where the yin and yang live and die, spraying and spraying all the time. The strong power of the suction seal requires him to suppress everything that enters its interior and emerges from it, so although it only absorbs living things, the things inside are absolutely not allowed to get out. But the water pressure at the bottom of the ocean is no joke, not to mention those super monsters are teaming up to attack the seal in an attempt to escape the restrictions of the gourd. Facing the water pressure and the joint attack of the monsters, the seal is being worn away bit by bit. It can hardly contain these monsters anymore. Water leakage from the gourd mouth is actually one of the symptoms that the seal is beginning to loosen.

The god general who ran out to report was already frightened. As soon as he left the guard tower, he started shouting "The gourd of heaven and earth is going to malfunction" while running towards the Jade Emperor. Of course, all the gods along the way started to go to the guard tower. run. These gods know very well what the Qiankun Gourd is for, and they know even better what will happen if something goes wrong with this gourd. So they all want to know as soon as possible whether something is really wrong.

When the Jade Emperor and a lot of messy gods gathered at this small tower, the gourd had become worse than when Erlang God first came in. At this time, the surface of the Qiankun Gourd is constantly flashing arcs of various colors. The seemingly tiny but powerful arcs create a vacuum zone with a radius of two meters around it. No god dares to enter this distance. Take a look inside.

After all, the Jade Emperor is the supreme leader of Heavenly Court, and he can calm down faster at this time. He immediately asked: "Is the gourd like this from the beginning?"

Erlangshen replied: "When I came here, I stepped on water outside the door, and then we rushed in and found that the gourd had been leaking water. And the lid was missing."

"What? The lid is missing?"

Erlang Shen said: "We have already looked for it before you came, but it is not there at all. The lid of the gourd seems to have been sucked into the inside of the gourd."

"How did the lid get inside?"

"We don't know much about this." Erlangshen didn't know much about this gourd.

An unknown god who came with the Jade Emperor said to the Jade Emperor: "The seal of the Qiankun gourd is thoughtful. In addition to protecting the seal, the cover also has a function of killing demons. If the seal is loose, the cover on the gourd will Will enter the gourd and kill monsters."

Erlangshen asked: "But how can a lid kill those demon-god-level monsters?"

"The lid itself is a spiritual bomb. When it enters the gourd, it will absorb the power of those monsters. If any monster attacks it, it will explode and kill all the monsters inside."

"So now that the lid is in, it means the seal is no longer working, right?"

"Probably! This was the idea back then, but I don't know if it can be used specifically! And I was not a god when it was made. I also heard this from the master. Who knows what it is exactly like!"

The Jade Emperor thought for a moment and said, "Where is the vanguard?"

"The little god is here." A god general walked to the front.

"Go immediately and invite Master Hong Jun and the Great Immortal Masters of Yuan Tianzun."

"Respect the law!"

"Well, where are the four divine generals?"

"here!"

"Immediately divide your troops into four groups. Go and inform Taoist Lord Lingbao to bring the True Essence Circle, and go to Tianyan Temple to borrow a ghost bell. In addition, go to Hall Master Dewei and Taoist Yagyu to tell them to hurry up. Come help.”

"Yes." The four god generals immediately dispersed and ran out from the four heavenly gates to do business.

The heaven was extremely busy, the gods were stumbling and crawling around, and things were not going well on the ground. In a port city on the side of Japan facing the Pacific Ocean, several Americans were quarreling with the Japanese.

"Where are your artillery shells?" the Japanese player yelled at the American in front of him who was almost twice as tall as him.

"Didn't I tell you that we encountered a whirlpool?" the American explained angrily. Naturally, they would not feel better after encountering such a big loss.

Japanese players don’t care what the reason is. "We have a contract. We originally agreed on five thousand boxes of artillery shells, but you will send me half! Today we plan to have a decisive battle with the Korean combined fleet. Now we only have half of the artillery shells. How do you want us to fight? Who is responsible for this loss? ?”

"The contract says we will comply with it. But now we have nothing to do if we encounter a shipwreck. I don't want to get into trouble!" Americans know that they must bear these losses according to the contract. After all, the goods are lost before they reach the owner of the goods, and the owner We will not bear losses for this.

the Japanese shouted. "It is necessary to transport it. The question is what to do now?"

"How about you use ordinary cannonballs to hit it first?"

"Ordinary artillery shells? Hold it first? Are you showing off your brain? We are going to fight, not embroider. You want me to hold it first? Then lend me your battleship first."

The American said in surprise: "How can I return home when I have given you the battleships? Merchant ships must be escorted even if they are empty!"

The Japanese said angrily: "I'll give you a canoe, just hold it on your head first."

"You...!" The American's clenched fist made a banging sound but he did not dare to move. It's fun to make a deal now, but the contract in the future will be troublesome.

There are actually many things like this for the Japanese. There are not just one or two ships sucked into the vortexes of various sizes on the sea. Who among those who have lost their goods does not feel distressed? If the internal transportation in one's own guild is just a frown, but if it is like the transaction transportation in Japan, then there will be a lot of nonsense.

However, although so many ships were lost, it is worth celebrating. The whirlpool has stopped. The water coming out of the Qiankun gourd is obviously because the water is full, and the seal is fighting against the water pressure to prevent the water from coming out, so now there is no flow in the channels that caused the vortex, and the natural vortex has stopped.

The vortex has stopped. The Qiankun Gourd is not feeling well at all. The tower where the Qiankun Gourd is placed is now filled with water. Where is heaven? That's where the gods live. It is above the clouds and there is no such thing as rain, so the buildings in the sky lack an infrastructure - drainage ditches.

The gods could have given each other this little water easily. After all, the gourd can spray water no faster than a small faucet. But now everyone is worried about the monsters like ants on a hot pot, and no one has time to clean up the ground. of water.

The Jade Emperor kept circling around the gourd in the tower, and the gods behind him could only stare at it. Suddenly there was a cry from outside: "Where is the Gourd of Heaven and Earth? Oh...!" Taoist Master Lingbao lived nearby. It’s also the fastest to get there. Because he was so nervous, he didn't even notice the water on the ground. As soon as he entered the door, he slipped and fell directly in front of the Jade Emperor. But at this time, he didn't care about the pain. Before he got up, he raised a unique wooden carving ring to the top of his head.

This wooden ring is the true magic circle. It is said to be carved out of the core of a certain sacred tree and can suppress all evil spirits, monsters and the like.

The Jade Emperor did not help Lingbao Daojun but quickly took the ring and put it on the gourd. Not to mention, this thing really works. As soon as I put the magic circle on, the water immediately became much smaller. Now it's just leaking out a little bit. Can't spray at all.

The gods outside collectively let out a burst of cheers, while the monsters in the gourd were extremely depressed. The seal was clearly about to be broken just now, but for some reason, another seal suddenly appeared and pressed down. As a result, the monsters had to be pushed back into the water. Originally, the number of monsters in the gourd was terrifying, but due to the water, many monsters with low cultivation levels were drowned. Other monsters absorbed the power of these dead monsters and continued their great work.

But monsters are monsters after all, and they began to think about other issues. Although monsters with high mana can separate water, it is very difficult to maintain it for a long time. Besides, it is useless to separate water without air! So everyone began to devour and annex each other. The big monsters ate the little monsters and concentrated their mana together, so that they could fight against long-term flooding.

The monsters were frustrated after being suppressed by the second seal, but they were not discouraged. They all believed that as long as they worked harder, the two seals could be broken open. After all, this was a rare opportunity. However, while the monsters were working hard, suddenly their unlucky gods' hope arrived at the same time. The other three gods who came to help arrived, and as soon as the magic weapon came out of the seal, it was immediately fixed, and no more water flowed out from it.

The four new seals plus the gourd's own seal made the monsters feel at rock bottom. In order to get out, they did not hesitate to devour their own kind to increase their strength and persist until now. However, the five seals in front of them blocked their way like an insurmountable mountain. Way to go.

"Why is this happening!" Many monsters cried out in pain, but the seal was a seal. They suppressed the monsters without emotion and did not let any monster escape from the gourd.

The Jade Emperor touched his beard with joy, and the gods around him were relieved. The original Tianzun rushed here and found that the matter was over, so he quickly returned to report to the leader Hong Jun. There was no problem. The Jade Emperor happily announced that he would hold a tea party to celebrate this. The gods usually have nothing to do, so the Heavenly Court often uses various excuses to organize activities. Today a certain god has practiced some Taoist skills, and tomorrow some Taoist friend has discovered what magic weapon. Anyway, no matter how big the matter is, we have to celebrate it. Of course, such a big event needs to be celebrated this time. The Jade Emperor decided to gather many gods and goddesses for a large-scale tea party.

However, will the monster in the gourd really be suppressed so peacefully?
