Chapter 244: Covering the Sky and Hiding From the World, Atonement for the People
"girl?"
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Those officials kindly thought that Yu Youyu was frightened by Li Chun'er's skeletal corpse, so they quickly covered it with a white cloth and waved their hands: "Don't be afraid, girl. After death, the light goes out, so these bones are more scary." , our brothers immediately buried it!"
After calling a few times, the young Yu Yu finally realized what he was doing, said thank you to the official, and went into the house.
A few strong men were left behind, looking at her back for a long time.
"Oh, if we could have such a good relationship, we would live ten years shorter!" One of the bald officials sighed and said, "Then Mr. Gravekeeper is really lucky!"
"Forget it, I'm afraid we will never be able to match a woman with such an appearance in this life. Even though Mr. Tomb is a low-class person, it is normal for someone to attract the attention of such a woman with the token of King Rende's disciple. "Another carefree official spoke.
After listening, the other people nodded.
There was only one thin official, who was so distracted that he didn't even notice that Yu Xiaoyu came over just now.
"Skinny monkey, skinny monkey!"
Another official patted him on the shoulder and just woke up the thin official: "It's done! Let's go."
Only then did the skinny monkey come to his senses and said yes again and again.
The bald official sighed: "Skinny monkey, haven't you saved enough money yet?"
When the latter heard this, his face darkened again and he shook his head: "How can you save enough!"
After hearing this, the other officials also shook their heads and sighed.
As colleagues and brothers, they knew Shouhouer's situation.
The thin monkey comes from a county under the jurisdiction of the capital, named Youhe.
Just a year ago, Youhe County was no different from hundreds of counties around the capital.
But just last year, something big happened in Youhe County.
In other words, a big shot emerged.
The name is "Master Suncheon".
Of course, although he is a big shot, to put it bluntly, he is a "rebel".
This guy got a parchment from somewhere, and since then, he has claimed to have obtained the decree from heaven.
It is said that in the court, His Majesty was bewitched by demons and would lead the entire Great Xia to destruction.
Master Shuntian was compassionate and merciful, so he recruited many people from all walks of life to assassinate His Majesty while he was out of the palace!
Of course, in the end, they were easily suppressed by the Qi Masters of Zhan Tiansi.
But this matter can make the imperial court very angry!
After Ling Chi defeated Master Shuntian and a group of rebels, he still wasn't relieved!
Together with Youhe County, where Master Shuntian was born, they will also be included!
So His Majesty the Emperor ordered that the city gods of many places affiliated with Zhantiansi receive the order so that no rain will fall in Youhe County within three years.
Serve as a warning!
He also sent all the officials from Youhe Yamen to prison!
This year has passed.
There really wasn't even a drop of rain falling in Youhe County.
No grains were harvested.
Those wealthy families packed up their belongings and ran away early.
But more people are poor and cannot afford to leave, so they can only suffer from hunger.
The thin monkey of the funeral department came from a village in Youhe County.
Over the past year, he has worked extra hard just to save some money to bring his family out of Youhe County.
But there is a law in Daxia. If you want to move your family out of the county, in addition to the travel expenses, you will also have to pay a large "relocation tax" to the court.
But the thin monkey is just an official. Even though I had a salary, it was still far from the silver needed to move home.
Most officials know this, and they never let Shouhouer pay when they go out to eat or drink.
But again, it’s a drop in the bucket.
There is only helplessness.
After mentioning the Thin Monkey's story, everyone's interest dropped, and they descended to the Tomb of No Return in a low mood, speechless all the way.
At the same time, Yu Xiaoyu, who returned to the house guarding the mausoleum, happened to meet Yu Chen coming out from the underworld carrying a water-purifying gourd.
Just stop him.
From top to bottom, he looked at Yu Chen carefully.
Yu Chen was stunned by her eyes and asked her what was wrong.
Yu Youyu held the paper man's head and narrowed his eyes: "The vicious eunuch in the palace... is dead."
"Oh." Yu Chen suddenly understood and nodded: "Didn't I tell you this at this time yesterday?"
"How did you do it?" Yu Youyu stared at Yu Chen with a strong desire to explore.
Connecting the two realms of yin and yang, holding the endless underworld in his hand, and being able to kill people thousands of miles away without being seen...these absurd and outrageous things concentrated on one person made Yu Youyu's curiosity about Yu Chen reach its peak.
Yu Chen chuckled and didn't say anything no matter how Yu Xiaoyu asked.
The witch was so anxious that she walked away angrily.
Yu Chen sighed helplessly and shouted to Shitou, "Shitou, we don't have enough rice. Go down the mountain and buy some!"
"Okay!" came Shitou's response from over there.
Afterwards, he returned to his room, closed the doors and windows tightly, and took out a formation diagram the size of a washbasin.
Just look at the material of this formation diagram, which looks like paper but not paper, and looks like skin but not skin. It is in the shape of a square. There are countless complex and mysterious runes carved on it. It pulses faintly, as if it will surpass the formation diagram at any time and cover the world!
Its name is the Formation Formation of Hiding the World.
It was the reward given to him by the Book of Saviors after Yu Chen fulfilled Wang Yutao's last wish.
To put it simply, this world-concealing formation is a large formation with a radius of several miles, which is carved into an formation.
In the way of formations, formations are an important medium. There are many types and countless ways to divide them. If divided by the number of times they are used, they can be divided into one-time formations and long-term formations.
The former is like the formation map drawn by Wu Yong, which is equivalent to a one-time magic weapon or talisman, and it is gone after use.
The latter is much more precious. It is polished and engraved with more complex techniques, so that the formation is permanently imprinted in it. After each use, as long as the formation is replenished with the energy of heaven and earth, it can be used again.
Each long-term formation diagram is a magic weapon comparable to a treasure.
The diagram of the Hiding World Formation in Yu Chen's hand depicts an ancient maze called "Hiding the Sky and Hiding the World".
As you can tell from the name, this formation that covers the sky and hides from the world is a auxiliary formation.
Its function is as its name suggests, covering the sky and people, covering up aura, covering up the turmoil of heaven and earth. Even if the world is turned upside down within the formation, you will not be able to notice it even if you are outside the formation.
After knowing the magical effect of this formation that covers the sky and hides from the world, Yu Chen slapped his thigh!
nice one!
Whatever you really need, come to you!
At this moment, he is worrying about this matter!
——The capital city is not as good as Jinling. The capital Zhantiansi, not to mention the four gods, the eight generals, the thirty-six stars, the seventy-two earth gods, even every sub-prisoner has the person named "Si Luo" Magical weapon.
There's nothing offensive about this thing.
But he is very sensitive to the changes in the energy of heaven and earth around him!
The slightest fluctuation in the spell will trigger an alarm immediately!
——When Yu Chen used the technique of borrowing the wind to sweep away Zhao Dayan and the others, several patrolling Zhan Tian Si Zijian discovered the strange movement of the Qi of Heaven and Earth and followed them.
At that time, although Yu Chen wore the ghost face of Senluo, he could hide his aura.
But when he used his magical power, the turbulence of the energy of heaven and earth could not be blocked at all.
So he has been worried recently. If he needs to kill people and set fires in the street in the future, he is afraid that Zhan Tiansi will chase him before he is done.
What a coincidence!
Now there is this formation diagram depicting the "Covering the Sky and Avoiding the World". When the formation diagram is displayed, the people inside will not be able to get out, and the eyes of the people outside will be black!
It's really a murderous thing, a must-have product!
Yu Chen, who was overjoyed, immediately moved a little closer to the formation diagram.
In an instant, the countless formation patterns on the formation diagram seemed to come to life, wandering in the void like spiritual snakes, and completely enveloped the Tomb of No Return in a few breaths!
At this moment, Yu Chen, who was controlling the array, had a feeling.
It was as if a huge cover covered the entire Tomb of No Return. He could see the outside from the inside, but the outside could not peek inside.
It's like a person on the turbid water cannot see the undercurrent surging beneath the water.
No matter how close you get, your eyes are almost touching the surface of the water, but they are still obscured by a layer of turbidity, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Not bad."
Yu Chen received the formation map and sighed in admiration.
With this thing, he will be even more powerful if he wants to do something in the future.
Whether it's the imperial court or Zhan Tiansi.
No one can detect him.
After some testing, another hour passed.
Shi Shi, who had gone down the mountain to buy rice, finally came up the mountain carrying two large bags of polished rice.
But as soon as he opened the door, Yu Chen noticed something was wrong.
There is blood on the stone's clothes.
Even though it's dried, you can still tell that it's quite fresh, as if it had just been put on.
Yu Chen frowned, "Shitou, did you get into a fight with someone?"
Shitou put down the rice and waved his hands repeatedly, "No! No! Master, Shitou listens to you. If you don't let Shitou do it, Shitou will never do it!"
Yu Chen felt relieved and asked again: "Then what happened to the blood on your body?"
Shitou was stunned, turned around and looked at his calf, only to realize that it was indeed bright red.
He thought for a while, then slapped his forehead and said, "Oh! I remembered it! Someone was beheaded in the city today! They screamed loudly, so I went over and took a look. It was probably stained with blood at that time. "
After a pause, he seemed to be afraid that Yu Chen wouldn't believe it, and then said in passing: "Master, there is the execution ground next to Changxingfang in Zhuque City. Originally, I didn't want to join in the fun, but the beheaded man screamed so loudly, The sound sounded like it was about to pierce the sky, so I couldn't help but take a look - Master, the blood spurted out more than ten feet high, just like the rain, many people were covered in it. It’s stained!”
Yu Chen was stunned.
How high is it to cut off the head and spurt out blood?
What kind of hero is this?
He asked Shitou, but Shitou said that he didn't know either, because he arrived late and did not hear the charges read out and the identification of the identity, but only saw the beheading.
"However, I heard him shouting, and it seemed like he was shouting something..."
Shitou frowned, imitating the beheaded man's appearance, and said,
"——I shed my blood in the sky to atone for the sins of the people and ask for rain from heaven."
