I’ll Quit Being a God

Now that we are in a dangerous situation, it is better not to show off.

If it attracts the attention of the fire temple wizards, it will be a bit tricky.

The young woman thought deeply and decided not to go out for a while.

Not long after, the wizard named He Lanzhen left the small courtyard behind the Fire Temple with a slightly gloomy expression.

Under her jurisdiction, evil spirits sneaked in, which was undoubtedly a provocation to her.

And if the Wolf God hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have even known... This evil spirit must not be let go!

He Lanzhen stormed away angrily and immediately summoned the left and right shamans.

In the following days, the Fire Temple seemed peaceful, but the wizards at the top were gearing up and making some preparations.

In the small courtyard behind the Fire Temple, Lu Heng was still looking at the bamboo slips sent by He Lanzhen, studying the secret techniques contained in them. With a calm and calm look, he seemed not to care about the turmoil in the outside world.

But in fact, Lu Heng didn't need to care.

Fushan City is located in a traffic fortress that travels from north to south. There are many business travelers, and occasionally evil spirits sneak into the city. Therefore, the wizards in the city have quite a lot of experience in how to surround and kill evil spirits.

Lu Heng, an outsider, had neither the ability nor the need to intervene at this time. He just needs to sit in the courtyard and wait quietly for the day to close the net.

The only thing that surprised Lu Heng in this matter was that Huotongguo didn't know about the existence of Qingming Cave.

When Lu Heng mentioned that the evil spirit came from Qingming Cave, He Lanzhen was confused and had no idea what Qingming Cave was.

This evil place where evil spirits are entrenched is deeper than Lu Heng imagined.

And this time, if we can seize the rare clue of Qingming Cave, we may be able to use this as an opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Therefore, He Lanzhen's initial plan was to directly gather people, set up a dragnet, rush into Wu's house, and capture the evil spirit for interrogation.

However, Lu Heng persuaded her and asked her to wait and see what would happen.

Most of the evil deeds in Qingming Cave are secretive and silent. The red lady knew that someone had seen her collecting her soul, so she came to silence her, not wanting her whereabouts to be exposed.

But now, this evil spirit in Fushan City has gone out of its way and sneaked into the crowded Fushan City, disrupting the Wu family under the supervision of the Fire Temple.

There must be a deep meaning in acting in such a high profile. If you can see clearly what the other party wants to do, you may be able to get a glimpse of some of the patterns of evil behavior in Qingming Cave.

After all, according to Lu Heng's guess, they wouldn't have to wait too long.

On the seventh day after the cremation of Mr. Wu, according to custom, all the old shopkeepers of the Wu family will gather together to discuss who will be the head of the Wu family after the death of the old man.

No matter what the evil plan was, if she wanted to help Wu Zhiyuan, this day would definitely be the day when she saw him.

As long as Lu Heng and the others wait for seven days, they can wait for a big show.

So although He Lanzhen wanted to rush into Wu's house immediately and let the evil spirit kill him, in the end, with Lu Heng's comfort, he temporarily let go of his anger.

However, although He Lanzhen did not take action immediately, the gloomy atmosphere that was not released still affected the higher-ups of the Fire Temple.

The wizards involved in this matter, while strictly maintaining confidentiality, also closely monitored the Wu family's movements.

Without disturbing the Wu family, some seemingly ordinary handymen would report the current situation of the Wu family to the outside world every day.

The Wushi clan, which is busy with power disputes, has been clearly understood by He Lanzhen and others in the dark places where no one knows about its internal situation and disputes.

Even the courtyard where the evil spirit might live had two or three suspicious locations marked out.

But from that day on, this evil spirit no longer appeared in front of people. It seemed that it had noticed something and completely hid it.

In response, He Lanzhen sneered.

She personally stayed near the Wu family and monitored the situation of the Wushi mansion. Once an evil spirit appears, it will be impossible to escape her eyes.

Now that a trap has been set around the Wu family, even if the evil spirit senses something is wrong, it has no time to escape.

Time passed day by day as He Lanzhen waited.

In the courtyard behind the Fire Temple, Lu Heng had already taken the secret manual from He Lanzhen three times. Only two bamboo slips were given each time, but the secret techniques recorded inside were all extremely rare outside.

After seeing many such secret techniques, Lu Heng also understood that what He Lanzhen provided to him were basically the top ones from the Fire Temple in Fushan City.

Such enthusiasm made Lu Heng feel embarrassed, and he once asked whether this matter was in compliance with the rules.

And He Lanzhen's answer was that it was completely in line with the rules. The Wolf God could see as much as he wanted, and there was no problem in looking through the entire library.

Lu Heng could only sigh with emotion, this Helan Wu Zhu was so hospitable.

As the seven days passed, in the early morning of this day, Lu Heng, who had been reading in the courtyard, rarely put down the bamboo slips.

With a thought in his mind, he came to the nether world.

In the dark and desolate world, the old man of the Wu family is wandering in the vast land of the netherworld.

Although the Netherworld today is empty, the ubiquitous evil spirit is extremely beneficial to the old man.

It floats on the earth, wandering along with the evil spirit, just like lying on the soft clouds to rest, and it is extremely enjoyable.

Lu Heng's sudden appearance woke up the half-asleep old man and he quickly saluted.

"Wu Yuan has met senior."

Lu Heng smiled, cupped his hands, and said, "Mr. Wu, the seven days have come. It's time for me to take you back to the underworld to deal with the Wu family's affairs."

"After you have dealt with this last mundane matter and fulfilled your wish, you can go to the Tunnel of Reincarnation and reincarnate."

Wu Yuan quickly nodded in response, "Thank you for taking care of me, senior, but it's just that it's difficult for me to walk in the world now..."

Lu Heng said with a smile, "No problem, follow me. I can protect you from the scorching sun and the biting cold wind."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief and saluted quickly, "Thank you, senior."

Lu Heng smiled, said nothing, waved his sleeves, and took the old man directly out of the Netherworld.

In the courtyard under the sunshine, Lu Heng's figure appeared again.

Also appearing at the same time was the translucent soul body of Mr. Wu.

When the bright morning light fell on the old man, he subconsciously wanted to find cover.

But this time, the old man no longer felt the stinging pain that was almost gone when the sun burned him. He was startled for a moment before he remembered that Lu Heng was looking after him.

Lu Heng looked at Huo Feng and Xiao Ai, who was carrying the Heavenly Tribulation Sword, and said with a smile, "Let's go, Xiao Ai, brother Huo, let's go to Wu's house today to see the excitement."

As for the little Gu Diao Guyan, Lu Heng was left to look after his family.

This little guy had attracted the attention of the evil spirit before, and Lu Heng did not intend to take it with him to avoid being noticed by the evil spirit again.

Moreover, this little guy is lively and lively. When the time comes, he will attract everyone's attention when he makes a fuss, fearing that he will alert others.

Little Gu Diao was naturally very dissatisfied with this.

But in the face of Lu Heng's smiling admonishment, he did not dare to object and could only nod obediently. Now he is hanging upside down under the eaves and sulking.

When Lu Heng and the others left, Huo Feng talked to Gu Yan, but the little Gu Eagle ignored them.

Huo Feng sighed and said, "It seems that even if this matter is over, I can only wander around the city alone..."

This sentence suddenly made the little Gu Diao's head turn around.

But at this time, Lu Heng and others left suddenly, and the little Gu Diao could only watch their backs.

Under the morning light, Huo Feng didn't look back, as if he really planned to ignore the little Gu Diao.

Under the eaves, the little Gu Eagle was depressed for a few breaths, and finally screamed twice as a farewell.

Huo Feng, who had already walked out of the small courtyard, couldn't help laughing and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Chapter 127 The Soul Bead

The atmosphere in the Wu family's mansion is now depressing.

Servants with the lowest status, as well as powerless people on the fringes of the clan, were scattered outside the Wu family's mansion, slightly anxiously waiting for the outcome of today's events.

Even those ignorant children do not dare to play under the warning of their parents. Everyone knows that after the old man returns, the outcome of today's discussion among the clan elders will affect the future of the entire Wushi clan.

From the beginning, the Wushi clan was a wealthy family. Under the hard work of the old master for decades, it was not easy to develop to its current status and have its own place in Fushan City.

Today's results may affect the future of the Ahwushi clan and determine whether the Wushi clan can still prosper.

Every Wuzhi clan member is worried about this.

There were some whispers circulating in some remote corners.

"It would be great if we chose the eldest son... The second son is so naughty and mischievous, we can't let him harm us."

"The second young lady is the most suitable candidate, but it's a pity..."

"The eldest young master seems to be kind, but in fact he is narrow-minded. He is worse than the second young master..."

"I think the second young master is better than the first young master..."

"To be honest, neither of the two young masters is good at it..."

"Hey...Second Miss, Second Miss..."

Among the Wu family, similar whispers continued, but no one dared to speak out loud, for fear of offending the future head of the Wu family.

But there is one thing that all the Wushi clan members agree on.

That is the second young lady who is over fifty years old. She is more suitable than anyone else to be the head of the Wu family.

At this time, in the ancestral hall with the most solemn atmosphere in the Wushi mansion, with the end of a series of ceremonies, Mrs. Wu’s sacred tablet was placed on the throne of the ancestors, side by side with the ancestors of the Wushi family. List.

Wu Ling, the second daughter of the Wu family, who was fifty-one years old this year, pursed her lips, bid farewell to the wizard who presided over the ceremony in person, and returned to the ancestral hall.

Sitting in the ancestral hall are all the elders of the Wushi clan, as well as several shopkeepers who are in charge of the merchant team or large businesses.

Nowadays, the powerful people of the Wushi clan are all sitting in the same room, looking at each other, and there is a solemn atmosphere.

Seeing Wu Ling sitting down, Wu Lie, Old Master Wu's younger brother and the one with the highest age and reputation in the Wu family, coughed and spoke.

"Now that everyone is here, it's time to have a serious discussion about the future of the Wushi clan."

"Sixth Brother has passed away, but the Wushi cannot be without someone at the helm. If you all have any opinions, just say it."

Old Man Wu Lie's words instantly ignited the atmosphere in the ancestral hall.

The clan elders were the first to speak.

"I recommend the eldest son... The eldest son has always been kind and kind, and has good relations with the old clans in the city. He is the most suitable candidate."

"Haha... What Old Man Zhang said is different. Although the eldest son is on good terms with the old Nan clan in the city and has a kind personality, he has lost his spirit. Among the children under Sixth Brother's knees, he is the least like Sixth Brother... I recommend the second young master. , The second young master is determined to forge ahead, just like the sixth brother when he was young."

"Bah! Sixth brother didn't do anything bad when he was young! He made his parents vomit blood with anger!"

"I thought..."

"I object!"

"If Sixth Brother is here, he will definitely support the eldest young master!"

There was a lot of noise and bustle in the ancestral hall.

Wu Zhiyuan and Wu Zhiqian, who were recommended by the crowd, sat at the end and did not say much.

Wu Ling, on the other hand, sat at the head of the table and watched the quarrel in the room indifferently without saying a word.

Unlike outside the ancestral hall, everyone inside the ancestral hall was arguing endlessly, but no one dared to mention Wu Ling, the unmarried second lady, or even ask her opinion.

Because everyone knows that this person must not be mentioned at this time. Otherwise, neither the eldest son nor the second son will be able to compete...

This second lady, who works vigorously and resolutely, is the only one of the daughters of the old master Wu Yuan who is not married, but has found a husband-in-law. And since she was a girl, the second lady has been involved in the family business and is the old man's most trusted arm.

In addition to the old man, the second young lady who is respected by everyone also takes credit for the Wu family's development to its current status.

Even the second son, who was a headache for everyone in the Wu family, did not dare to be presumptuous in front of his sister who was more than twenty years older than him.

Everyone knows that whoever the second young lady supports today has the most hope.

Therefore, both those who support the eldest young master and those who support the second young master are arguing endlessly and constantly using various reasons to discuss the other's failure, trying to win the support of the second young lady.

It's just that compared to the eldest son who is kind to others, there are only a few people who support the second son. Moreover, the second son's various mischievous deeds often leave the supporters speechless.

In the end, the voices supporting the eldest son still prevailed.

Seeing that the situation was gradually calming down, at the end of the series, Wu Zhiqian glanced at the second brother opposite him with a slightly provocative look, but was surprised to find that under such a decline, his infamous second brother was still smiling?

Wu Zhiqian's heart sank... Can this guy still laugh? Doesn't he have any other tricks up his sleeve?

Amid Wu Zhiqian's shock and worry, the second young master of the Wu family who had been silent until now suddenly spoke with a smile.

He stood up directly and said to the old shopkeepers in the ancestral hall.
