Fried Salted Fish

Chapter 81 Shuntian in Great Chaos

Tianmen General, Water General Jia Linghou, who had been here during the day, examined the flesh and blood on the ground, using his magic to investigate and find the problem!

"Damn it! How dare they cause such a big disturbance within Shuntian? How did these flesh and blood puppets come about!"

Within the Tianmen General's camp, Tian General Fu Linghou was furious. The Embroidered Uniform Guards behind him were loading cannons, ready to fire another round!

At this moment, several Yin Division deities appeared in front of the main hall of the Dongyue Temple in the distance, their appearances somewhat strange.

"Yin Division deities, is everything alright?"

"Something's not right, Commander. Look at what's around their necks!"

The Tianmen General stopped Luo Sigong, who was about to go inside, and pointed to the necks of the appearing Yin Division deities. It wasn't an iron chain, but a strange white circle.

"The *fangxin qu ling* collar worn by Song Dynasty officials!"

Luo Sigong recognized it. It was a thing worn around the necks of ancient civil officials. How could it appear on the necks of Ming Dynasty divine generals?

The Ming Dynasty never issued this kind of uniform.

Moreover, it wasn't just a few Yin Division deities. Behind these deities stood many people, all of whom were Embroidered Uniform Guards sent to guard the Dongyue Temple. At this moment, their eyes were dull, and what was most frightening was their faces!

"The faces... something's wrong. Those aren't living people's faces, they're sculpted faces!"

"A painted-skin monster? Impossible! This kind of small demon can't even enter Shuntian Prefecture!"

The Tianmen General felt that the matter was thorny. Were these Yin Division deities in front of him really Yin Division divine generals?

"The problem I sensed during the day might lie here. People's faces have been swapped onto statues, and statues' faces have been swapped onto people. That's why the temple warden said that the faces of two statues were broken and replaced. Now it seems they weren't broken, they were torn off!"

The two Tianmen Generals used their Dharma Eyes to illuminate the area. This time, they saw something. From the people in the Dongyue Temple, they could see strange, illusory forms, only a rough outline.

These outlines were like shadows, or like hazy gas, attached to the bodies of many gods and people in the Dongyue Temple.

The firearms were ready. The Tianmen Generals didn't hesitate, believing that the Yin Division divine generals had become enemies. So, a volley of fire erupted, and the main hall of the Dongyue Temple collapsed!

Smoke billowed, darkness receded. At this time, the sun was still hanging in the west, it wasn't yet dark.

But here, everything was turbid and dim.

"Hee hee! Hee hee!"

The divine generals saw the smoke dissipate, the firearms had destroyed the main hall of the Dongyue Temple. Inside, the Yin Division divine generals had disappeared, seemingly having escaped. But some hadn't left in time. Many had been blown to death, their flesh turned to mud, and the sculpted faces were destroyed on the ground.

But from those broken sculpted faces on the ground, strange laughter could still be heard.

These laughter sounds, gathered together, gradually turned into normal language, but these languages could not be heard from the outside.

The Tianmen Generals only heard strange laughter inside, but couldn't see anyone, so they prepared to launch another wave of bombardment.

"Laugh your ass off, fire! Blast these monsters to death for me!"

Inside the temple, the broken faces of these "sculpted divine generals" began to converse:

"This is the Ming court's firearms? Indeed, they are much more powerful than our Song court's firearms. They even have divine incantations attached... If we had this kind of weapon back then..."

"This is terrible. How can they use such powerful firearms in the capital! Is the Ming court's emperor a madman? No wonder that girl Huo Jun died. She used the Taiyin Cataclysm Fire to burn through the Ming court's national prestige, and then was blown to death by these firearms?"

"It's not certain that she's dead. Huo Jun has some skill in controlling the power of vows."

"The gods of the Yang world are trapped in the Yin world, unable to return to the human realm. Now, having regained human form, it's only a matter of divine forms attaching, using the power of Hei Sheng to return from the dead. It hasn't reached the point of truly reversing Yin and Yang yet."

"If the physical body is destroyed, so be it. The forms and spirits have already come to the Yang world. We just need to let Hei Sheng eat them, and then we eat Hei Sheng, and we can obtain a powerful Yang world body!"

"Hei Sheng is indeed difficult to control. This thing can even transform into a human shape on its own, not obeying our will. But throughout history, only we have managed to subdue this strange power..."

"The bodies of the Yin world cannot be brought over, there is a separation between the two realms, it is indeed troublesome... That great god's incarnation took a step ahead, why hasn't he reversed Yin and Yang yet? Isn't it already You time!"

"We don't know for the moment. Let's retreat first. We can't let the statues of the divine lords be attacked. Those are all our 'meat altars', holding our vows. We can't afford to lose them. This first main hall, let them have it."

"That's right, there's no need to fight for this moment. It should be about time. We can prepare to release the great ghost..."

"Alright, everyone, I won't say any more. The cannons are starting to fire again. Everyone, we'll see you later, let's die for a while..."

Boom, boom, boom!

The Franco cannons unleashed their firepower, and the firearms enhanced with divine incantations were incredibly powerful. The area in front of the Dongyue Temple was completely leveled, and the darkness frantically receded, revealing the front third of the Dongyue Temple.

One or two of the statue fragments on the ground were still laughing, and the Tianmen General crushed them with a stomp!

"Don't get close to those black mists, use firearms to clear the way! As for Xu Lao... let's hope he has good fortune!"

Although it was impolite to say so, when the other party didn't have any hostages in their hands, there was no need to worry about them killing the hostage.

The divine generals stormed into the Dongyue Temple, preparing to go to the rear hall to "rescue" Lao Xu. At this moment, suddenly the entire land of Shuntian Prefecture shook!

The Zhen trigram had been broken!

The divine generals didn't know what had happened yet. Suddenly, a burst of joyful laughter came from the rear hall of the Dongyue Temple. Then, a huge image of a ghost god gradually appeared in the black mist!

The Yin Division kills people, and for every person killed, one more vow is created. The physical body can then be attached to by a black aura, and these ancient forms and spirits can then borrow the body to revive.

The great ghost muttered:

"A thousand ghosts fly in the day, unstoppable... only allowing the killing of the world's people, the dead numbering in the billions..."

The words uttered by the great ghost were horrifying. The divine generals had a premonition that something big was about to happen. Luo Sigong's body was also tense at this moment, and his face and robes were gradually transforming into the appearance of the Earth Office Fierce Official, Yin Tianjun!

.........

The seventy-two Yin Division Red Pavilions all had Embroidered Uniform Guards and Eastern Depot personnel entering to investigate. As a result, several of the Yin Division Red Pavilion's deities, even though it was only You time, had already put on their bells and arrived in front of the Red Pavilion.

What followed was a battle where friend and foe were indistinguishable!

The Heavenly Office Yin Division, divine generals slaughtering each other!

Within Shuntian City, chaos suddenly erupted in an instant. In the West Market area, where a drama was being performed, the ground suddenly shook violently. Many people thought it was an earthquake and stood up in fright. But it was just one tremor, and then there was no more movement.

People discussed it, at a loss, some preparing to leave, but after running only a few steps, they bumped into the arms of a Yin Division deity.

Offending the Yin Division, those people were terrified, and the next second, the Yin Division divine general suddenly struck, twisting off the person's head!

Blood splattered, a head rolled on the ground, the faces of these Yin Division deities were all wooden sculpted faces, having lost their human appearance, surrounded by rolling mist, raising their butcher knives towards the people of Shuntian.

In the heavens and the earth, only the opera troupes were still performing. At this time, the drama being performed on the stage suddenly turned into Yama judging little ghosts. In the blink of an eye, the red robes and colorful clothes all faded away, revealing the figures of the Yin Division's Dharma Gods.

"Murder, murder, murder!"

Someone shouted, and the Yin Division gods began to massacre the people here!

The child with the Nezha hairstyle was dumbfounded. At this moment, a shadow also appeared beside him and his artisan father.

The blade fell.

On the child's chest, the talisman written by Ji Ye burst into bright light at this critical moment!
