Chapter 158: The Storm is Coming (Part 3)
The Four Realm Departments are actually extremely wealthy, but there are only a few things that can truly be called treasures of the department.
The generally recognized ones include: the elixir of life from the Kunlun Realm, the vajra from the Xumi Mountain Realm, the book of life and death from the Jiuyou Realm, and the Kyushu Island Mountain and River Furnace from the Buzhou Mountain Realm.
The reason why they are the treasures of the town is not because of how strong their lethality is, but because they are irreplaceable treasures to the town.
For example, the elixir of life can break through the boundary between humans and gods, allowing humans to fight for life against heaven, and thus it is the absolute ideal of the human race from generation to generation.
The Vajra can break through the boundaries of time and space, allowing the power of Mount Sumeru to radiate to the entire universe. It is the source of Shanjian City's ability to spread faith and gain power.
The Book of Life and Death can break through the boundaries of reincarnation, allowing Jiuyou to decide life and death with a single stroke and firmly seize absolute control over the worlds of Yin and Yang.
As for Kyushu Island Yamakawa furnace...
How important is the Yamakawa furnace?
Let's put it this way, Li Boyang, who lost the Kyushu Island Yamakawa Furnace, was equivalent to handing the knife in his hand to the executioner himself. The Kyushu Island Yamakawa Furnace will become a sword hanging over the heads of all celestial beings.
Because heavenly beings cannot die, their only impression of death is the Five Signs of Decay.
The swords and knives of the mortal world cannot hurt them, and if the celestial beings are injured by divine weapons, they will not die on the spot. Even if they are injured by divine weapons and only have one finger left, as long as they recuperate over the years, the celestial beings can still rebuild their bodies and remain immortal.
But the Kyushu Island Mountain and River Furnace is an exception. The divine fire in the Mountain and River Furnace has the same origin as the Heavenly Dao and can refine everything in the world, including the gods. It is a top-grade divine weapon that can even refine Kuafu's eyes.
Once a celestial being enters the mountain and river furnace of Kyushu Island, he will be instantly devoured by the divine fire, and both his soul and body will be destroyed.
The Kyushu Island Mountain and River Furnace is the best weapon for executing the gods.
Then Li Boyang told Taiqing that he gave such an important thing as a gift of cabbage to the mortal enemy of Buzhou Mountain Realm - the people of Kunlun Realm.
Good, very good.
Taiqing's expression was very warm at this moment, and he even had a smile on his face.
However, even a lunatic like Bian Cheng couldn't help but take two steps back when he saw this smile.
While retreating from Biancheng, he was still thinking about the bizarre encounter that Li Boyang had mentioned: "So this sharp sword is in Ah Ren's hands now? It seems that things are going to become very interesting."
Bian Cheng heard that there was a rumor in the four realms recently that the Kunlun Realm had hired a new demolition office to demolish wherever they went. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be Lu Ren. He was very curious now. After Lu Ren knew how to use the Kyushu Island Mountain and River Furnace, would he become the executioner who destroyed the Heaven Realm?
Thinking of this, Bian Cheng looked at Li Boyang again: "But it has nothing to do with me. After all, I haven't got my own Ghost King Seal yet."
"If I can't get it back, I'll inevitably be scolded by Qin Guang. No, I still have to think of a way."
Bian Cheng stared at Li Boyang, his eyes rolling around, and it was obvious that he had no good intentions.
Although the three people in Taiqing Palace each have their own ulterior motives, it must be said that their thoughts and ideas cannot be separated from one person - Lu Ren.
What is Lu Ren, who is being cared about by so many great people, doing now?
Lu Ren is preparing sauce for the roast chicken.
After Donghuang Taiyi asked about the origin of the air fryer, he burst into laughter. Lu Ren was confused and suspected that he was crazy.
Of course, it’s not that no one tried to persuade him, Yinglong was one of them.
Just after saying a few words, Donghuang whispered something to Yinglong. Then, Yinglong started laughing even more exaggeratedly than Donghuang Taiyi, and even pounded the sofa while laughing, breaking the fabric sofa that Lu Ren bought from Pinxixi.
But Lu Ren was heartbroken.
The noise they made was so loud that it woke up the sleeping Qilin cub in the room.
The Qilin cub, A Bing, walked out of the room, rubbing his sleepy eyes, holding a pink bunny toy.
"Aren." Qilin cub called Lu Ren in a soft voice, "Why is it so lively today?"
Lu Ren didn't know how to explain to the Qilin cub, because even he himself didn't know what the current situation was. Donghuang Taiyi and Yinglong were still laughing, and I was afraid they wouldn't be able to stop for a while.
Although everyone in the room seemed to be in a state of disarray, at least the atmosphere was no longer as dull as before, which was a small improvement.
Thinking of this, Lu Ren decided to say to the Qilin cub, "Forget about them. Let's eat first. I'll take you to wash your hands."
There were seven people in the family, including Qilinzi and A Bing. Lu Ren had already prepared four dishes, so they could start eating in advance. His plan was to make eight dishes and one soup, but this did not affect Lu Ren's invitation for everyone to sit down and eat. He continued to work in the kitchen alone.
Yinglong and Donghuang Taiyi were used to a life of luxury, always having everything provided for them. When Lu Ren asked them to sit down and eat, they sat down as he asked, without being polite at all.
Lu Qingzhou and Shan Gui were embarrassed and insisted on going into the kitchen to help. Lu Ren had no choice but to agree.
Lu Qingzhou was good at using the sword and was also an expert at cutting vegetables. The kitchen knife turned twice in his hand, making a beautiful knife flower, and then flew up and down, flashing a flash of sword light.
Lu Ren asked him to cut a plate of ordinary potato shreds, but he cut each potato shred as thin as a hair, with uniform thickness and thinness. It was just too thin, and except for not being suitable for stir-frying green peppers and potato shreds, there was no other problem.
In short, Lu Qingzhou tried very hard, but he couldn't help.
So Lu Ren could only give him two white radishes, and then half-coaxed and half-forced him to the dining table and let him sit down and carve.
It is called: beautify the presentation and increase appetite.
Shan Gui was very experienced in cooking, and with her help, Lu Ren finished the remaining four dishes very quickly.
When Lu Ren brought the dishes to the living room, Yinglong and Donghuang Taiyi had stopped their exaggerated laughter. The two seemed to be competing with each other for the achievements they had made in ancient times.
At the same time, Yinglong said: "I have helped Dayu control floods before."
On the other side, Donghuang Taiyi said: "I helped Nuwa repair the sky."
Although they claim to have made outstanding achievements, their demeanor looks more like that of elementary school students bragging, "My dad can fly a plane."
Although he knew that the two were talking about the great achievements they had made in the past, Lu Ren still felt that he was listening to a familiar myth.
Although the myth was very far away , the two people in front of him were very close to him, and he felt a sense of separation in time and space.
On the other hand, Lu Qingzhou had already turned the dining table into a sea of radish flowers. Peonies, peonies , lotus flowers, wintersweets... There were many varieties, all very lifelike. Lu Qingzhou never stopped cutting.
Stubborn and serious.
Qilinzai and A Bing were cheering Lu Qingzhou on.
The happiest people at the scene were Qilin and A Bing. Today was lively, there were many delicious foods, and there were also carved radishes. For the young Qilin and the inexperienced A Bing, it was simply heaven.
While praising Lu Qingzhou, the two of them were still discussing which flower was the best. The two of them were discussing enthusiastically, and they laughed from time to time.
At this time, Shan Gui came out with the last dish. She put the dish on the table and then looked at Lu Ren with a gentle smile.
At that moment, Lu Ren seemed to see his childhood when his mother smiled and called him to eat after cooking.
Lu Ren was surprised to realize that the home he once thought would always be cold has now become so lively.
I don’t know since when, I am no longer alone.
At that moment, Lu Ren truly felt: "I am really, really lucky to be able to work in the Immigrant Household Registration Bureau."
A feeling of happiness unconsciously revealed in Lu Ren's eyes. His eyes curved like two crescent moons, and he couldn't help but smile while hiding outside the crowd.
"What are you laughing at, Ren?" Yinglong, who was arguing fiercely with Donghuang Taiyi, suddenly couldn't think of any more achievements after racking his brains, so he decided to divert everyone's attention, so as not to let them see Lu Ren laughing secretly. "What good news are you not telling us? Are you secretly happy about it?"
Lu Ren was a little embarrassed to confess his feelings in front of everyone, so he changed the subject and said, "Didn't you two tell us what you were laughing at just now?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Yinglong would say anything as long as it could change the subject. "Come on, sit down. Come on, sit down. Let's talk while we eat."
After everyone was seated, Yinglong began to talk: "This alchemy furnace in your kitchen..."
Before Yinglong could finish, he was interrupted by Qilinzi: "It's not an alchemy furnace. Ah Ren said it's a voice-controlled air fryer."
"Okay, okay, this air fryer in your room is actually called Kyushu Island Yamakawa Oven, it is--"
As Yinglong narrated, Lu Ren gradually realized how outrageous the story itself was.
"So, Li Boyang cheated me out of my Ghost King Seal and gave me a Kyushu Island Mountain and River Furnace?"
Lu Qingzhou nodded: "You can say that."
Suddenly he remembered that Li Boyang had told him that the reason he had so many part-time jobs was because he lost a lot of money playing cards with his brothers.
At this moment, if Li Boyang was in front of him, Lu Ren would definitely say: "Brother, with your IQ, you should stop gambling in the future."
Of course, we still have to thank Li Boyang for his miscalculation. After all, he successfully opened up a way out for the Investigation Bureau of Foreign Household Registration.
Lu Ren thought: "What should we do now? Should we use the Kyushu Island Mountain and River Furnace to exchange for Si Yuan?"
"Of course not." Donghuang Taiyi said.
"The Jiuzhou Island Mountain and River Furnace has been returned. We have simply returned to the state where we have lost the Ghost King Seal. Even if Si Yuan comes back, Buzhou Mountain Realm Si can still take Si Yuan away at any time."
"What should we do then?"
Donghuang Taiyi's originally smiling face suddenly became serious. He slightly lowered his chin and put on a deep attitude in front of the mountain ghost. He even took into account the lighting, seats and other factors, and presented his perfect side face at a 45-degree angle to the mountain ghost.
After doing all this, Donghuang Taiyi said in a magnetic voice: "We will use this alchemy furnace, oh no, voice-controlled air fryer, to seek an opportunity to negotiate on an equal footing with the Heavenly Realm."
Lu Ren seemed to understand what he heard, but he could see sparks in the eyes of the people around him.
Only the great demons who have lived for tens of millions of years know what this sentence means.
It has been tens of thousands of years since the death of the Divine Phoenix and the fall of the Ten Witches. On this day, humans finally have the opportunity to communicate with the gods once again.
