The Game with Fairies-Chapter 294
The tale of the River God’s divine appearance in Shitang Village quickly spread throughout Baizhou Prefecture.
The northern counties have always been cold and desolate, with few immortals visiting, and even the Imperial Astronomical Bureau’s Demon-Suppressing Master would not come here.
It seemed to be a forgotten corner.
Fortunately, the North rarely saw the emergence of powerful and terrifying evil demons causing havoc.
Although there were occasional hauntings, they were just minor spirits and ghosts, and the common folk could live safely by being vigilant.
Occasionally, some villages knew there were evil demons lurking nearby harming people, but they could only be more cautious, not travel alone, hoping that over time the demon would leave on its own.
If a demon was truly powerful and terrifying, making it impossible for the villagers to live, only then would they grit their teeth and request the fearsome wandering immortals from beyond the borders to come and exorcise the demons.
But inviting the terrifying wandering immortals from beyond the borders came at an extremely high cost.
Unless absolutely necessary, no one dared to venture beyond the borders.
However, once the story of the River God’s divine appearance in Shitang Village spread, it was undoubtedly a ray of light piercing through the darkness for the suffering villagers of the North.
Everyone who heard the news was astounded.
Especially since the village chief of Shitang Village had just taken the villagers to the newly built River God temple to pray in the afternoon, and by dusk, the River God had come to Shitang Village to expel demons… This River God was truly responsive to prayers!
The news of the Yushui River God’s divine appearance and demon expulsion spread rapidly within Baizhou Prefecture.
The incident was not only sensational but there were also many witnesses.
Shitang Village was three li away from the closest point of the Yushui River.
When the River God came ashore, heading straight for Shitang Village, it charged through fields, rice paddies, and forests, and even brazenly crossed the official road.
With such a large number of witnesses, combined with the legendary nature of the Shitang Village demon-slaying story, the tale of the River God’s demon subjugation spread beyond Baizhou City at an unimaginable speed.
The Yushui River was an important waterway in the North, bustling with river trade and commerce.
The story of the Yushui River God’s divine appearance thus spread swiftly along the river with each sailboat, reaching other prefectures upstream and downstream.
…….
When Li Muyang returned to the game, he was stunned the moment he opened his character panel.
【Incense and Prayer Power: 17399】
When he logged off yesterday, the Incense and Prayer Power was only 13, very scarce.
But now, logging back on, the Incense and Prayer Power had skyrocketed to seventeen thousand?
And even this number was still slowly increasing.
Such a huge amount of Incense and Prayer Power left Li Muyang dumbfounded for a while, almost thinking he had seen it wrong.
“…What did the system do while I was away?”
How could the Incense and Prayer Power have surged so much in just one day and night?
Li Muyang was puzzled.
He opened the Incense and Prayer Power interface and found that the increase in Incense and Prayer Power had also granted him a new skill.
【Heavenly Fire: Consumes 50 points of Incense, summons a fire of divine punishment to chastise evil demons. Heavenly Fire burns the soul, causing 200% extra damage to evil creatures and demons.】
Not only had the amount of Incense and Prayer Power surged, but he also gained a new skill.
Li Muyang was astonished.
He checked the experience bar and found that it had not increased much.
When he logged off yesterday, it was LV4 (91%).
Now, upon logging in, it was only LV4 (95%).
This one day and night of being away, the experience had increased very little.
The only change was the explosive increase in Incense and Prayer Power…
What had happened in the meantime?
Li Muyang suddenly heard many noisy and chaotic voices.
With a thought, he seemed to be transported to the River God temple outside Baizhou City, standing on the shrine with the perspective of the deity statue, looking down at the kneeling, prostrating villagers.
He saw these mortals all devout and respectful, continuously kowtowing, offering incense, and making wishes for blessings.
The noisy murmurs rang in his ears, making him frown.
How had so many believers come in just one day and night, and why were they so devout towards him?
Could it be that the body of this Flood Dragon had once again manifested itself before the people, and had it produced a very good effect?
Li Muyang opened the Incense and Prayer Power interface and found that with the murmurs of the outside world ringing in his ears, a special entry had been added to the interface.
Clicking on it, a list of the mortal believers’ prayers and wishes appeared before his eyes in a dazzling array.
Prayers for someone’s sudden death, hopes for academic success in the coming year, and wishes to have a son, among others.
These numerous wish texts formed a dense table, which was painful for Li Muyang’s eyes to see.
Fortunately, each wish was accompanied by a categorized entry that was neatly organized.
Among them, a red entry for wishes caught Li Muyang’s attention.
【Evil Demon】
This was the information extracted by the red entry.
With a thought from Li Muyang, the wishes related to the 【Evil Demon】 entry immediately lined up neatly before his eyes.
【Praying for the River God to manifest and eliminate the water ghost in our manor’s well…】
【Praying for the River God to manifest and slay the painted-skin demon hiding in our town…】
【Praying for the River God to manifest and kill the yellow-skinned ghost in the forest outside our village…】
Li Muyang was slightly taken aback by the list of red wish entries.
Whenever he focused on any entry, he could faintly hear the voice of the mortal who made the wish and could vaguely sense their location, as well as the location of the mentioned demon.
The closer these wishing mortals and their mentioned demons were to the Yushui River, the clearer his senses were.
The further away from the Yushui River, the more vague the sense became.
For a water ghost in a manor by the Yushui River, the well’s water vein was connected to the river.
When Li Muyang saw this wish, through the faint sensing of the river water, he could even accurately sense the lurking water ghost in the underground river beneath the well, and he could vaguely see its hideous appearance…
“So the Incense system has this wonderful use?”
Li Muyang was greatly surprised and laughed.
The emergence of the power of incense and prayers unlocked new abilities for the Flood Dragon, giving rise to new divine powers.
At this moment, the Moon-Biting Dragon seemed to have merged with the flowing Yushui River, able to faintly observe the outside world through the river’s currents.
Li Muyang paid no mind to the mundane and boring wishes of the mortals.
However, wishes related to demons and monsters were of great importance.
Originally, Li Muyang was troubled that the small demons in the Yushui River were almost all devoured, slowing down his leveling speed.
But now, with the guidance of mortals from various places, he suddenly had a rough understanding of the demons on the riverbanks.
With this thought, Li Muyang’s figure in the river moved, and he swam directly towards a village called Liangjiazhuang.
The manor was located thirty li outside of Baizhou City, adjacent to the Yushui River.
It only took Li Muyang a quarter of an hour to reach the outskirts of Liangjiazhuang.
He followed the river’s senses and swam directly into the underground river.
When this cold and narrow underground river surged into the Flood Dragon, the waters seemed to become even more sinister.
A quarter of an hour later, from the well in Liangjiazhuang that had been sealed with a huge stone by the villagers, suddenly came the ghastly wails of ghosts and the deep, thunderous roar of a dragon…
