I’ll Quit Being a God

Huo Feng quietly glanced at the wolf god outside the door, and sighed, but he couldn't tell the matter.

After all, although the Wu family's second young master's behavior was a bit domineering, it was not considered a serious crime.

If you slander someone behind your back, isn't that 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 did something bad, then the matter must be reported to the Wolf God.

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

At the dinner table, Lu Heng was not a talkative person. He occasionally asked about his experience in the city today and then asked no more questions.

After dinner, Huo Feng took the little Gu Diao into the house. Lu Heng was once again the only one left in the courtyard outside the house.

But now, Lu Heng did not continue to practice meditation, but quietly looked in the direction of the Wu family mansion.

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

That was a sign that Mr. Wu was about to leave the city. Every half hour, fireworks would be launched from the Wu family's mansion until after midnight.

And in this small courtyard, I don’t know when a figure appeared.

Wearing black robes and tall figure, she is none other than the shaman of Fushan City, Lan Zhen.

"I've seen the Wolf God," He Lanzhen bowed and saluted.

The man in white clothes in the courtyard returned the salute and said, "I'd like to trouble Helan Wu Zhu."

He Lanzhen shook his head and said, "With a little effort, the Wolf God is so polite."

Lu Heng smiled and said, "The time has come, let me leave the city later."

"Okay," He Lanzhen replied concisely and concisely.

Afterwards, the two figures disappeared from the courtyard and headed towards the Pang River outside the city.

The purpose of their trip was to be the place where the Wu family held a cremation ceremony for the old man tonight.

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

Chapter 114 Soul Calling (Part 2)

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 lying in the room resting.

The person leaving the city this time was the incarnation of Lu Heng’s soul.

As for his plans for this trip, Lu Heng did not know 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 had just mastered the Nether Seal for the first time, and he didn't know if he could really lure the soul of the old man of the Wu family into the underworld.

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you boasted about Haikou 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 two figures flying past, with He Lanzhen accompanying him, the wizard did not dare to come and ask.

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

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

His soul incarnation cannot walk in the city, so if he wants to travel, he can only fly. With He Lanzhen accompanying him, a lot of trouble would be avoided.

Soon, the two flew out of the tall and magnificent Fushan City and arrived at the Pangshui River outside the city.

On the pier in the distance, the lights were bright, and even though it was almost midnight, there were 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 pile of firewood had been piled up. The pale spiritual flags swayed in the night.

In the river not far away, there was a roaring sound and a strong wind.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Please Helan Wu Zhu, please wait a moment."

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

The people of the Wu family did not let them wait too long. Soon, amid a noisy sound of suona, the Wu family members wearing linen and filial piety came towards the coffin of the old man of the Wu family.

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 young man of the Wu family, was holding his father's memorial tablet and crying as he walked.

"Wow! Dad, you just left like that... You didn't even wait for the child to come back and see you again..."

"My poor child has been away from home for many years. When he comes back, he will be separated forever..."

Wu Zhiqian, who was also holding the spiritual tablet not far away, could hear the exaggerated crying and howling, and his face became gloomy.

He originally wanted to cry, but Wu Zhiyuan's crying was so fake and disgusting that it was difficult for him to cry.

Hence the gloomy mood.

Wu Zhiyuan was crying and walking away.

When they protected the coffin and came to the river, all the Wushi people knelt down and kowtowed to the old man's coffin to say goodbye.

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

Below, white spiritual flags were fluttering, and the children of the Xiao family knelt row after row.

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

Wu Zhiyuan still held the memorial tablet and cried loudly.

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

Zhang Er whispered, "Second Young Master, I have already found out clearly. The silver-haired demon cultivator with animal ears is named Lu Ai, and he is attending the old man's funeral on behalf of his master."

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

The content of the report made Wu Zhiyuan nodded and whispered, "So that's it..."

Then he raised his head, cried heartbreakingly twice more, and then whispered, "But to be on the safe side, it's better to invite grandma over. Only with grandma here to take care of everything can everything be safe."

Zhang Er, who had a pointed face and monkey cheeks, smiled and said, "My brother has already gone to invite you. Grandma will be here in a short time. Second Young Master, you can rest assured."

Wu Zhiyuan laughed softly twice, then howled loudly and heartbreakingly, "Dad! The child can't bear to leave you! Please open your eyes and look at the child!"

Zhang Er could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard the exaggerated cry, and couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.

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

Wu Zhiyuan grinned and howled loudly twice, "Dad! Open your eyes and look at the child!"

After howling, he lowered his head, almost unable to hold back his smile, and his whole body was shaking.

"Pfft... Haha..." Wu Zhiyuan chuckled, twitching and saying, "I can't hold it in anymore and want to laugh loudly, how can I cry..."

After saying that, he howled loudly at the top of his lungs.

"Dad! You left so suddenly. My child is so sad!"

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

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

The burnt smell wafted along the river wind.

Lu Heng stood up in the night sky, summoned the Nether Soul Suppressing Seal, and took the old man of the Wu family away after his soul left his body.

But at the same time that Lu Heng and He Lanzhen stood up, a figure in the Pangshui River on the side suddenly disappeared 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?"

This person who emerged from the river was dressed in a divine robe and had a solemn face. He seemed a bit awkward to speak and was intimidating. It was Gu Zhou, the water god of the Pang River whom I met before.

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

She quickly came over and bowed deeply to Lu Heng, "I met my benefactor in ancient Zhou Dynasty."

Then she stood up straight and nodded to He Lanzhen, "I have seen He Lan Wu Zhu."

He Lanzhen also nodded in return, remaining silent as always.

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 my benefactor here... Did my benefactor come to watch the funeral of the Wu family?"

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

Gu Zhou looked at the blazing flames below and said, "I'm here to take the soul of Old Master Wu into the Water Mansion."

After saying that, seeing Lu Heng's expression of surprise, Gu Zhou explained with a smile.

"After mortal souls leave their bodies, they will gradually dissipate from heaven and earth. But before they dissipate, these souls are often in chaos and helpless. They are exposed to wind and sun like lonely ghosts. In the end, the unexplained pain dissipates, which is extremely miserable. "

"So when my late husband was here, he taught me the art of attracting souls with my body. As long as the dead people on both sides of the Pang River worshiped my body and had a trace of incense and affection with me, after their death, my body will be transferred to my body. It is a good deed for the Yaksha of the Water Mansion to bring his soul into the Water Mansion to save it from the pain of wind and sun, and wait for it to dissipate quietly."

"And for a kind person like the old man of the Wu family who has offered a lot of incense and has done good deeds and accumulated good deeds, occasionally I will personally come to the scene and lead him into the water house to show respect."

Gu Zhou smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet my benefactor tonight. It's my honor."

Chapter 115 Soul Calling (Part 2)

Gu Zhou's explanation made Lu Heng suddenly realize.

"So that's it," Lu Heng said, "Ms. Jiang Shen's move is indeed a kind act that benefits the villagers. But the soul of Mr. Wu will probably not be able to follow Empress Jiang Shen to the Water Mansion this time."

Lu Heng said with a smile, "Lu has an old relationship with the Wu family. He came here tonight to guide the soul of Mrs. Wu to a secret place... Oh? The soul of Mrs. Wu seems to have left the body."

While Lu Heng was speaking, the high fire at his feet was burning, and faint wisps of white smoke rose into the sky along with the smoke from the burning firewood.

The white smoke is ethereal and cannot be seen by ordinary people.

Even if you are a practitioner, if your cultivation is not enough, you may not be able to sense it.

——For example, a practitioner like Lu Heng who has not even opened the Heavenly Gate is theoretically unable to sense the soul energy.

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

Under the dark night, the blazing fire was fierce, and the sound of exploding wood could be heard from time to time.

The filial sons and grandsons of the Nawu clan all knelt outside the fire, kowtowing to the fire from time to time under the command of the ceremonial wizard.

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

The riverside was crowded with people, and the sound of suona and sad music continued to sound as a farewell to the passing of Mr. Wu.

In the night sky, Lu Heng directly waved his hand, slowly leading the wisp of ethereal white smoke in front of him.

Then, as Gu Zhou and He Lanzhen watched, the wisps of white smoke gradually took on a human form around Lu Heng, vaguely forming the appearance of an old man.

This scene shocked both Gu Zhou and He Lanzhen.

He Lanzhen was taciturn, but Gu Zhou was surprised and spoke directly.

"My dear friend, can you summon spirits?" Gu Zhou looked surprised.

Although she has also attracted the souls of many good people who have done good deeds and accumulated good deeds to the Water Mansion, the yakshas under her often do such things.

But both the yakshas under her and herself were guarding the cremation place. Only after the body of the deceased was cremated and the soul gradually left the body and completely revealed itself to the outside world, would they come forward to receive him.

But the Wolf God actually skipped the waiting process and directly summoned the soul of Mr. Wu?

Gu Zhou and He Lanzhen both had surprised expressions on their faces, and on the river bank at their feet, among the crowd watching the excitement, a red-haired woman also spied on this scene and spit out a mouthful of wine with a stunned expression.

It is not that there are no techniques to attract souls in this world. Some vicious spells and Gu techniques can even pull the souls of living people directly out of their bodies and torture them.

If someone with a low level of cultivation sees the scene of Lu Heng summoning spirits, they won't find anything strange at all. At most, they will think that Lu Heng's move is effortless and looks very skillful.

But the three people who watched this scene were all people with outstanding vision, and they could tell at a glance that Lu Heng's soul-summoning technique was completely different from ordinary people's soul-summoning technique.

First of all, he did not make any preparations for the technique. All three people present could feel that the Wolf God did not use any magic power when he summoned the soul.

Secondly, when he summoned the soul of Mr. Wu, the soul that gradually solidified did not feel any pain from being violently pulled and dragged.

Being able to do these two things at the same time is as if... Lu Hengyan has the power to control souls!

Only a powerful messenger can be so understated and without the slightest hint of fireworks.
