I’ll Quit Being a God

He Lanzhen breathed a sigh of relief, quickly saluted solemnly, and said, "He Lan will keep this in mind."

"Okay, then I'll leave." After opening the door, the red-haired woman walked directly towards the shadows and disappeared from He Lanzhen's sight in an instant.

In the small courtyard, only the faint echo of the king's master could be heard.

"I can rest assured that Fushan City will be left to you."

Hearing these words, He Lanzhen at the door couldn't help but roll her eyes, feeling helpless in her heart.

No matter how many times she comes again, she still feels that the leader's cheerful personality is a bit overwhelming...

And in the early morning night, the red-haired king headed towards the capital with extremely fast steps, quickly leaving Fushan City behind.

In the small courtyard behind the Fire Temple, Lu Heng, who was not aware that Lian Shanjing had arrived, was still sitting in the courtyard, quietly flipping through the bamboo slips in his hands and deducing the spells in them.

By the Pangshui River, the filial sons and grandsons of the Wu family, dressed in filial piety, took turns kneeling by the river to call for the deceased and bid farewell to the old man.

But the old man Wu they called was now lying in the guest room in the small courtyard behind the Fire Temple, thinking about what happened to the Wu family, his eyes full of pain and regret.

In Wushi's mansion, the two brothers, who had just returned from the riverside, were angrily yelling at each other. In the noisy room, a middle-aged woman with a cold face finally kicked in the door and walked in, scaring the two people who were scolding each other.

"Second...Second sister..."

"No, second sister...I'm not..."

As the two brothers begged for mercy, the noise in the Wu family mansion temporarily quieted down.

But the servants and tribesmen looked at each other, wondering how long this silence could last, and which side they would stand on next.

Outside Fushan City, two figures came through the night.

Leading the way was the burly man named Zhang Da who followed the second young master of the Wu family.

He was leading a horse, and sitting upright on the horse was a graceful and slender figure.

Although he couldn't see his face clearly under the night sky, the voice that sounded under the night sky was charming to the bone. If Lu Heng were here, he would definitely feel a little familiar.

"Hehe... Is this place Fushan City?"

The figure on the horse chuckled and said, "Although I have passed by a few times, without your Wu family to guide the way, I really don't dare to enter at will~"

Zhang Da, who was leading the horse, smiled quickly and said, "Grandma is joking, you are here in person, even the witch congratulating Lanzhen would not dare to be presumptuous in front of you. You don't want to go to the city, it's just because you don't bother to kill people and dirty your hands. Yes. Those wizards in the city lost their lives in vain, they should thank you."

"Hehe..." The figure on the horse chuckled and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, the little mouth is so sweet, grandma likes to hear it."

Chapter 123 A trace of evil spirit (please vote for 3rd update)

In the courtyard, Lu Heng sat under the moonlight and read the bamboo slips in his hands.

After successful practice, he was able to see with both eyes even in the dark night.

The second half of the night passed quickly.

When the first ray of light came on from the sky, a painful scream suddenly came from the house where Mr. Wu was.

Lu Heng looked over in surprise and immediately understood what happened.

The old man who had been lying in bed thinking hard all night, at the moment when the sun shone into the small courtyard, a ray of sunshine happened to fall on him through the gap in the window.

The old man who was already a ghost suddenly felt the burning pain. While screaming, he quickly shrank into the shadow of the room.

In the next room, the little Gu Eagle, who was sleeping upside down on Huo Feng's window, was startled by the ghostly cry and woke up with a sudden flick of its wings.

Lu Heng shook his head wordlessly and said, "Mr. Wu, let me send you to the Netherworld first. You are now a ghost body and cannot stand the scorching sun."

In the room, Mr. Wu, who was shrinking in the shadows, nodded quickly. The stinging sensation he felt when he was hit by the sun just now left him with lingering fear.

He finally understood why Empress Jiang Shen wanted to bring the souls of the dead into the water house.

The soul of the deceased wanders around the world after leaving the body. If there is no one to protect it, it may be directly burned to death by the blazing sun before it can naturally dissipate.

This method of death can definitely be called torture.

As Lu Heng sent away the old man's soul, the courtyard became quiet again. However, the shrill howl still woke up both Xiao Ai and Huo Feng.

Huo Feng rubbed his eyes and walked out. After greeting Lu Heng, he went to the backyard to wash up.

Lu Heng asked Xiao Ai to go to the Fire Temple and ask her to find Helan Wu Zhu and ask for some practice secrets that could be shared with the outside world.

Although the bamboo slips in his hand recorded arcane techniques and were enough to study for a long time, Lu Heng still wanted to read more about other secrets and broaden his horizons.

He won't stay in Fushan City for too long. After the Wu family's affairs are settled, it may be time to go south. You have to read more books now.

Xiao Ai came back not long after he left, holding two volumes of bamboo slips in his hands.

Xiao Ai said: "Lord Wolf God, Helan Wu Zhu said that you should read these two volumes first. After reading them, you can ask her for them at any time. The library of the Fire Temple can be fully opened to you."

Lu Heng shook his head and took the two bamboo slips.

He thought Xiao Ai would bring a large pile of letters over, but he didn't expect that there were only two volumes.

However, after opening it and looking at it for a while, Lu Heng's expression turned serious.

He even called Huo Feng: "You don't need to prepare my share for today's meal."

After saying that, Lu Heng lowered his head and was completely immersed in the two new bamboo slips.

With his lost look, it seemed that he would not care about anything else in a short time. Huo Feng and the little Gu Diao looked at each other in confusion.

However, the Wolf God stopped eating, so Huo Feng saved his energy. But Xiao Ai later said that he didn't want to eat anymore.

In the end, Huo Feng and the little Gu Diao were the only ones who needed to eat in the yard.

Huo Feng sighed, stood in the kitchen and thought for a few breaths, and finally decided not to cook and go out to eat.

The little Gu Diao had already filled his stomach and ate all the fish Huo Feng brought last night, not even the fish bones were left.

So Huo Feng, who didn't need to cook, took the little Gu Diao out again to find food by himself.

Fushan City was bustling and bustling, with countless noodle shops and restaurants, including many special mountain delicacies. Huo Feng asked around and finally went to the most famous one.

It was a two-story small restaurant, located in a remote location, but there were many customers in the store.

Huo Feng went upstairs to find a seat, and casually ordered two signature dishes, intending to try the delicacies of Fushan City.

The little Gu Diao squatted on his shoulder and stared at the guests at another table not far away.

There were three men and two women at that table, all dressed as businessmen. One of them, a bearded man, was holding a monster in his hand. It looks like a completely black dog, but it has two heads. It is currently lying on the ground chewing bones.

The little Gu Eagle stared at the monster, and soon attracted the monster's attention.

However, the monster just raised its head and wanted to glare, but saw the appearance of the little Gu Diao clearly.

Although it is only a small eagle, like a baby, it is a famous ferocious beast after all. The little Gu Diao has a ferocious aura around him.

Ordinary people may not be able to feel it, but beasts and other beasts are extremely sensitive to it.

The monster immediately whimpered and lay down timidly, not daring to be aggressive anymore.

The bearded man who was eating and laughing with his companions did not notice all this, but in the private room next to him, a young woman who had just walked out accompanied by her entourage did.

She was slightly surprised.

"Oh? Gu carving?"

The young woman looked at Huo Feng by the window and the little Gu carving on Huo Feng's shoulder, quite surprised.

Are there actually Gu eagles within the waters of the Pangjiang River? Weren't all the Gu carvings in Pangjiang River killed by the water god more than three hundred years ago? Could it be that this young man brought it from outside?

On the side, the attendant serving the woman asked quickly, "Grandma, have you taken a fancy to that little eagle? Why don't you go over and ask if the disciple of the Yunmen is willing to sell it?"

The woman looked over there and thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "No need, one more thing is worse than one less thing."

"Yunmen disciples are free to do whatever they want. No matter how much the price is, I'm afraid they won't sell it... Let's leave."

With that said, the young woman took the lead and walked towards the stairs.

When the few followers behind her saw the woman leaving, they quickly followed her. Soon, the group of people disappeared into the restaurant.

By the window of the restaurant, Huo Feng, who had been tensing up and pretending to eat, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the group of people had finally left, and found that his back was covered in cold sweat.

For some reason, the moment he was stared at by that woman, he actually felt frightened.

It seemed like he was being targeted by something vicious.

And vaguely, he even felt wisps of evil spirit...

This made Huo Feng both frightened and puzzled.

Because he has lost all his cultivation now, theoretically he cannot detect the aura of others.

But for some reason, he was extremely sensitive to the young woman's aura and sensed a vague evil aura.

Among the entourage of the young woman, there was one person he knew. He was one of the entourage brought into the city by the second son of the Wu family.

This young woman was traveling with the men of the second young master of the Wu family... Could it be related to the Wu family?

Huo Feng frowned slightly, feeling that he had to go back and report this matter to the Wolf God.

As for the inexplicable evil aura...maybe the Wolf God knows about it?

He has been walking with the Wolf God for so long, maybe the Wolf God has helped him secretly?

After all, this kind of keen perception of evil things has never appeared before...

Chapter 124 Break and then stand

Above the restaurant, the little Gu Eagle was still staring at the two-headed black dog not far away, even though the other person had shrunk into a ball and kept showing weakness.

Huo Feng watched the strange young woman leave with everyone in the Wu family, feeling grateful to have survived the disaster.

At that moment, if this woman had even thought about it, she might have died on the spot. This feeling of life and death being in the hands of others made Huo Feng extremely uncomfortable.

Looking at the little Gu Diao on his shoulder who still didn't know anything, Huo Feng couldn't help but sigh and said.

"Gu Yan, Gu Yan, it's a bit enviable that you are so heartless... It's a pity that I probably won't be able to take you out in the future."

He bumped into such an evil thing as soon as he went out. He seemed to be interested in Gu Yan. How could Huo Feng dare to take Gu Yan out in the future?

And after all, it's strange that there are evil spirits sneaking into Fushan City.

What's even more strange is that this kind of evil that can be hidden from the wizards of the Fire Temple can be felt by myself?

When did Huo Feng become so powerful?

Realizing that something was wrong, Huo Feng did not dare to delay. After paying the money, he hurriedly left the restaurant and headed towards the Fire Temple on an empty stomach.

The dishes on that table were basically untouched.

When the little Gu Eagle on the shoulder heard that Huo Feng would not take him out anymore, he immediately became anxious and screamed for a long time, making it very noisy.

Huo Feng managed to calm down the noisy little guy after some hard talking, and then walked along the busiest streets to the Fire Temple.

Then he plunged into the Fire Temple.

The moment he stepped into the door of the Fire Temple, he felt a little safe.

Under the morning sunshine, there was an endless stream of pilgrims coming and going in the Fire Temple, and wizards appeared from time to time. This huge fire temple is not only the administrative seat that governs Fushan City, but it is also a place where incense is enshrined to the God of Fire. There are many people who come here every day to offer incense and pray.

Huo Feng walked through the large square with people coming and going, and kept walking towards the back of the Fire Temple.

The further inside you go, the fewer people you see. By the end, we had reached an area where pilgrims could not set foot.

When we get here, basically all the wizards who appear are wizards with their own responsibilities.

Although Huo Feng's appearance was unexpected, no one came to stop him because Huo Feng was carrying a travel token.

Passing through the area behind the Fire Temple, Huo Feng went straight to the quietest courtyard in Fushan City.

Pushing open the courtyard door, you can see a man in white sitting quietly in the courtyard under the sun, looking through the bamboo slips in his hand.

Under the early morning sunshine, this scene has a slightly ethereal and earthly atmosphere.

Even though Huo Feng was anxious, he was affected by this scene and couldn't help but calm down.

He stood quietly by the door without speaking. Even the lively little Gu Diao shut up obediently at this time.

However, the appearance of one man and one eagle could not be hidden from Lu Heng.

He raised his head in surprise, looked at Huo Feng by the door, and asked, "Did Brother Huo bump into something? Why are you so impatient?"

The Wolf God took the initiative to speak, and Huo Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he smiled bitterly and said, "Back to the Wolf God, I seem to have bumped into a demon in the city. If the other party hadn't had the intention to kill, I might not have been able to come back."
