Chapter 65: Kingdom of God
After Luo Li left, Chen Jiu felt a little disappointed. The Demon King Soup didn't seem to be tasty anymore, and he felt a little bored in practicing.
Fortunately, a few days later, the Earth Immortal Luo Menghong sent someone to summon him and invited him to a gathering in Liaocheng, Dongchang Prefecture.
He quickly explained everything to Yu Qi, the old fox fairy, Jiaona and others, and set out alone early the next morning.
In this day and age, if a mortal rode a horse, it would be a great achievement to cover three or four hundred miles in a day. However, there was a new domain, Linlang Immortal Palace, between Jiuling Mountain and Liaocheng, and the distance was at least more than one thousand five hundred miles.
Fortunately, Chen Jiu ran fast. Even if he didn't transform into the Tiger God's true form, he could still run three or four hundred miles in an hour. If he transformed into the Tiger God's true form, running a thousand miles in an hour would be no problem.
He ran to the Qinglian Sect's new territory like a gust of wind and immediately transformed into his true form of the Tiger God and ran wildly through the mountains and forests.
If he was in Jiuling Mountain, he would not dare to reveal the true form of the Tiger God, because once he revealed it, it would be tantamount to telling the wealthy families that Chen Banxian, who stole the magical herbs and elixirs, was in Jiuling Mountain.
However, it was different when entering the Qinglian Sect’s territory. He wanted the wealthy and powerful families to mistakenly believe that Chen Banxian was from the Qinglian Sect.
He did this to make it easier to travel, but also to leave his father-in-law with less choice.
The people of the Qinglian Sect naturally had no idea of his thoughts. Perhaps they had already been told that a senior master would transform into a giant tiger and pass by their territory. Therefore , the Qinglian sect members were not frightened and fled in all directions. From time to time, someone even gave him directions.
He went all the way west, crossed the new territory, crossed Lushan and Taishan, and before noon he jumped out of the mountains and landed on a plain.
This is already the territory of Liaocheng. The endless plain is covered with farmlands everywhere, and there are villages scattered among the farmlands. I don't know how many people are among them.
For a moment, Chen Jiu was stunned. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he last came to this mortal world.
He doesn't even know how to deal with people anymore.
When the farmers in the surrounding areas saw such a huge tiger suddenly jump out from the forest, they were so scared that they ran towards the village as if their butts were on fire.
This is so similar to the scene when the villagers saw the monster. Will there be a young man like Chen Jiu who will come and subdue the monster?
For a moment, he seemed to be back in Lingshan Village.
There seemed to be no other young man like Chen Jiu in this world. Soon, a sturdy man with a green lotus mark between his eyebrows flew over from the nearest village, ran up to him, bowed and said, "Senior, are you Chen Banxian?"
Chen Jiu said straightforwardly: "That's right."
He had come all the way this way, and every time he stopped as if he was confused about the direction, a member of the Qinglian sect would fly over to show him the way.
Sure enough, the sturdy man pointed to the northwest and said respectfully, "Senior, Liaocheng is over there, and it's only a few dozen miles away."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu immediately unfolded his Tiger God true body and ran wildly in the direction of his finger.
He was in a hurry. People from aristocratic families and soldiers from the Northern Yinsi might appear in Jiuling Mountain and the Yin-Yang Realm at any time, so he couldn't leave for too long.
As for whether the Tiger God's true form would scare mortals, he no longer cared about that. After all, he wouldn't die from being scared.
Not long after, a small county town with a population of tens of thousands appeared in front of him. Luo Li, who came running over after hearing the news, was standing at the city gate and waving at him desperately.
Chen Jiu immediately retracted the Tiger God's true body and appeared in front of Luo Li in a flash.
Luo Li was so excited that she threw herself into his arms and said in a trembling voice: "Ajiu, you are finally here."
Chen Jiu was used to this, but the people around were stunned when they saw Luo Li's appearance, especially the Qinglian followers, their eyes almost popped out.
The saint actually threw herself into a man's arms!
This man is neither the leader nor the deputy leader!
Luo Li no longer cared about the dignity of the saint. She pulled Chen Jiu and said excitedly, "Come on, go home with me. My parents are here right now."
Chen Jiu's heart tightened this. This was the first time he met his father-in-law and mother-in-law. It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.
Luo Li pulled him happily through the streets and soon ran into a courtyard.
Chen Jiu originally thought that the place where the leader of the Green Lotus Sect lived would be better than the mansion of the former magistrate Wang Xiangchun in the county town.
Who would have thought that Luo Li's home was just like the courtyard houses where ordinary families in the city lived together. There were quite a few houses but there was no air of wealth at all. There were no servants or maids in the yard, only a few strong female guards standing upright in front of the doors.
Soon, Luo Li pulled him into the lobby of the main house.
There was just a simple big dining table and four big benches inside. A burly old man and a beautiful woman were sitting there quietly waiting.
The old man should be the earth immortal Luo Menghong. Just looking at his appearance, you can tell that Luo Yong and Luo Meng are a bit like him. Not only do they have similar faces, but also similar body shapes. They are both like iron towers.
However, this old man doesn't look foolish at all.
On the contrary, this old man's eyes were shining brightly, and his sharp face looked awe-inspiring without even being angry, as if he was born with an awe-inspiring aura.
Chen Jiu was secretly looking at his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and the two of them were also looking at him carefully. None of the three spoke.
Luo Li said happily: "Dad and Mom, this is Ah Jiu."
Luo Menghong still didn't speak.
The beautiful lady Wang nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile: "It's time for dinner, Jiu, come, sit down and eat first."
Upon hearing this, Luo Li immediately pulled him to sit down, and then swiftly took the bowl and chopsticks from the left and placed them in front of him.
Seeing how close they were, Luo Menghong couldn't help but sneered, "Boy, don't think I don't know why you're trying to seduce Ahri."
Uh, my father-in-law seems a little angry!
Chen Jiu didn't know how to answer.
Seeing this, Wang frowned and said, "Menghong, what are you doing? Doesn't Ah Jiu look good? He's tall, handsome, and has great skills. Are you still not satisfied?"
Luo Li also nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Dad, Jiu is fine, why do you say that about him?"
Luo Menghong seemed a little afraid of his wife and daughter, or he doted on the two women at home too much. When Wang and Luo Li said this, he immediately raised his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it for now. Let's eat, eat."
Their meals were very ordinary, and the only things they treated their future son-in-law to were sesame cakes, green onions, porridge, and vegetables. The only thing that was better than what they had at ordinary people's homes was a big bowl of meat.
Chen Jiu was a little reserved at first, but he slowly relaxed under the earnest invitations of Wang and Luo Li. He hadn't eaten these ordinary meals for a long time, and he enjoyed the food very much.
Luo Menghong seemed to have no appetite, and he slowly ate a sesame cake. As soon as Wang and Luo Li finished eating, he put down the sesame cake and said seriously, "Ali, stay at home with your mother. I'm going to talk to this kid."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
Chen Jiu had no choice but to follow. Luo Li also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Wang.
Luo Menghong took him out of the yard, turned onto the street, and soon arrived at a huge temple.
There were a lot of people in the temple, and most of them were members of the Qinglian sect. When they saw Luo Menghong, they were all very respectful and bowed and made way for him.
Chen Jiu was secretly puzzled, does the Qinglian Sect also worship gods? What gods do they worship?
He couldn't help but use his spiritual sense to scan, and became even more confused.
This temple is like the City God Temple, and it seems that there is more than one god.
However, the hall in the middle is housing the statue of an ordinary old woman, which is not a golden body of a god at all. The hall on the left is housing the statue of Luo Menghong himself , which is a golden body of a ghost-immortal level god.
Is this Luo Menghong also practicing the underworld techniques?
Chen Jiu was wondering secretly when Luo Menghong had already led him into the main hall in the middle.
There was no one inside and the guards outside were very strict. He didn't know what this meant.
Luo Menghong, however, respectfully lit three incense sticks and knelt down to kowtow with a pious look on his face. Then he stood up and said, "Ali said that you really want to see the Kingdom of God, right?"
Kingdom of God!
Chen Jiu nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes."
Luo Menghong immediately said with a serious face: "Then follow me."
Suddenly, Chen Jiu felt his whole body tighten, and the scene in front of him was different.
They actually came to a huge temple, which was probably several hundred feet high, and the statue inside was also several hundred feet high!
Chen Jiu felt like a little ant standing in the temple. He raised his head to see what the statue looked like, but he couldn't even see the statue's face!
There was no other way; the statue was too tall, so he could only use his spiritual sense to scan it.
This glance left him dumbfounded.
The statue in this temple turned out to be the old woman outside, and the structure of the statue was much more complicated than the golden body of a ghost fairy-level deity.
He expanded his spiritual sense and scanned outside again, and was immediately shocked.
Surrounding the temple was a huge platform whose edge could not be detected even by his spiritual sense. Above the platform, there were faintly visible several huge mountains, which were actually floating upside down in the sky!
Isn’t this kingdom of God so magical?
Why is the mountain upside down? How did such a huge mountain float into the sky? Also, his spiritual sense can probe more than ten miles away, but he can't even detect the boundary of the platform. How big is this platform?
“Is this the Kingdom of God?”
He asked subconsciously.
Luo Menghong nodded slightly and said, "Yes, this is the Kingdom of God. What you see, or what your divine sense can detect, is less than one tenth of the Kingdom of God. The platform outside is thousands of miles in radius."
ah?
Chen Jiu couldn't help but asked in surprise: "How was a platform with a radius of thousands of miles built?"
Luo Menghong looked up at the statue and murmured, "A true god can create everything. What is a platform like this?"
