Nobody told me it's not a game

Chapter 257 The Pot of Gold
Mu Suogen summoned dust to bury the corpses on the ground.Zuo Chang stood aside and watched him work, thinking about his own thoughts.

The Tianwang City in the night looked cold and cold, and the sound of iron boots stamping on the ground was mixed with the wind blowing, making it even more chilling.

Zuo Chang raised his hand and looked at his palm.

A cocoon had grown in his palm, Mayumi said it was a sword cocoon, and most adventurers had it.If you want a pair of soft hands, she has a special medicine over there, supplemented by unique magic, which can make the skin smooth, firm and extremely delicate.

Of course Zuo Chang didn't have this need.

He stroked the sword cocoon with the belly of his thumb, thinking about the instructions of the "Lust Compass".

In the Dungeon of Mystery, the Compass of Lust does not point to the answer.

The pointer spins rapidly, without a target.

think carefully……

Zuo Chang, as a traveler who has been here for less than two months, can only be said to barely adapt to the rhythm.

Originally thought that this would be an arduous and lonely journey, but he did not expect "familiar" people to appear one after another. Unknowingly, he established a more complicated interpersonal relationship than when he was on Earth.

I have to say, this is also a kind of luck.

Zuo Chang is willing to work hard for the people around him. Helping a friend is a matter of happiness, especially when the person he helps treats him in the same way.

Mutual achievements——

Is there anything more wonderful than this?
but……

Who is the god?
On the promised day, what kind of cattle and horses are they?

Zuo Chang doesn't have much interest in "saving the world" or "protecting the world", so such a grand goal is too empty in his opinion.

It is far less specific than a full meal and a simple greeting.

"General Left?"

Mu Suogen's voice sounded behind him.

Zuo Chang turned his head and saw Mu Suogen looking at him suspiciously: "What are you thinking? You're so engrossed. I called you several times and didn't respond."

is it?

Zuo Chang turned his head to look at the thick layer of yellow sand on the ground, and asked, "Is it done?"

"Just bury it briefly. If you think it's inappropriate, I'll add another layer?"

Zuo Chang waved his hand: "Let's go."

The two walked shoulder to shoulder, stepping on the night, towards the rental house.

On the way, Zuo Chang asked for no reason: "Senior Mu, who is the god?"

Mu Suogen was taken aback, not understanding what Zuo Chang was asking: "God...is he a god?"

"I mean, what's her origin? It's—"

Zuo Chang didn't know how to express it.

He shook his hands in front of his chest, looking like he was rolling a spiral pill: "That is to say, what is she and what is her origin?"

Ah this.

Don't even know the origin of the gods?Is this still a person who has ascended to the world!
"A god is not a thing, and no one knows her origin. The legend about her begins with a 'pot'—a pot of gold."

Mu Suogen sorted out the language.

He saw that the confusion on Zuo Chang's face did not seem to be fake, so he decided to start from the beginning.

"Say——About 1000 years ago, a group of adventurers accidentally discovered a relic, which was infinitely wonderful and full of treasures! The adventurers took out the sacred artifact 'Xian Pot' from it and presented it to the king at that time, and the king gave him a big reward , Let those adventurers lead the Kingdom Army to re-enter the ruins to obtain treasures."

"Short to say! The Kingdom's army traveled unimpeded all the way, but in the deepest part of the ruins, they encountered an abyssal dragon guarding a golden pot! The leading general looked intently, and saw that the pot was full of gold and gems, radiant and full of gods , I think it is unique in nature, so it must be a treasure."

"They fought hard to defeat the dragon of the abyss, got the pot of gold, returned to the court, and prepared to present the treasure to the king. Just as they walked out of the valley, they met a mountain man with a sharp axe. God'!"

Hearing this, Zuo Chang tilted his head and asked, "Is this a myth? Or history?"

"I don't know. If you say it is a myth, the gods really exist after all; if you say it is history, it is indeed too bizarre..."

Mu Suogen shook his head slowly.

He looked at Zuo Chang, and said again: "Look, where is there any 'god' now? The only one there is the god of heaven, and the god of heaven is different from the god in the legend. Her sense of existence is too strong, not like The gods in mythology seem to be invisible, unclear, and not like other gods, who have their own religion and believers."

God, in fact, has believers.

But she does not have a religion of her own.

In a sense...

She is more like a "king" than a "god".

Zuo Chang asked again: "What happened next?"

"The mountain god stopped Wang Guojun, claiming that the pot of gold in Wang Guojun's hands was a 'pot of disaster'. He said: People, you have touched a taboo that should not be touched. There are endless military disasters in it. Once opened, it will be destroyed." Bringing great misery to the world. Give me the jar and I can give you great power."

"The general of the Kingdom Army was extremely disdainful, and immediately said: A woodcutter dares to say such big words! Come here, kill him!"

"Thus, the Kingdom Army beheaded the mountain god's head and continued on its way home."

Mu Suogen's old voice and steady tone are very suitable for telling such old-fashioned stories.

Zuo Chang asked, "Is the mountain god dead?"

"Dead. Wang Guojun continued walking, and came to a river. It was not the flood season, and the river was calm, with no ripples, but not long after the Wang Guojun's big ship had just set off, suddenly the sky was dark, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain poured down." Down below, a huge vortex appeared in the center of the river! The big boat crossing the river quickly lost control, and when it was about to hit the rocks, the leading general shouted loudly: This must be the work of the "God of Rivers, Seas and Rivers"! Warriors, follow along! I'm in the water!"

"Three hundred warriors abandoned their boats and entered the water. Sure enough, they found a giant tortoise in the river. The general assassinated it with a sword. The wind and rain subsided immediately, the boat stabilized again, and the Royal Army crossed the river safely."

Zuo Chang has completely listened to these as myths.

"After that, the Royal Army encountered the 'God of Sky and Storm' and the 'God of Fire and Bronze'. The gods all declared that there was a great disaster in the pot of gold and asked the Royal Army to give up the pot immediately; Kill all the way, and finally return to the capital, and dedicate the pot of gold to the king."

"The king set up a grand banquet to celebrate the return of the kingdom's army. At the climax of the banquet, when the king and his generals were enjoying themselves, an old man with white beard fell from the sky. He looked at the king and said: People, I really can't bear to see you in ignorance. It is going to be destroyed, so I have to come out and remind you that the golden pot must never be opened, and what is contained in it is a disaster that you can't imagine and can't bear."

"The king asked: Who are you?"

"The old man replied: I am the all-knowing God of Wisdom."

"The king laughed loudly after hearing this, and the soldiers also laughed. The king said: Since you are the omniscient god, then I ask you—how is my kingdom? How long is my life span?"

"The old man stared at the king and said: Your kingdom will perish today; your lifespan will end today."

"The king was furious when he heard the words. He swept the dishes in front of him to the ground, and ordered the soldiers to kill the God of Wisdom. The God of Wisdom fell into a pool of blood. The king was still angry. The pot of gold on the side was poisoned like an evil spirit, walked over quickly, and opened the lid at once!"

Zuo Chang finally became interested.

He turned his head and asked, "And then?"

"Then--"

Mu Suogen smiled and said: "Then, the god appeared from the jar."

　Let's update the chapter first!I originally wanted to break it up in "then—" here, but it feels so immoral, so forget it.
