You said you could kill the evil spirits without me, why are you crying now?

Chapter 385: One-third of the stars have lost their luster
"Xu Fu?"

Chu He frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt and strangeness in his eyes.

This name is to him,

It seemed like a faint echo coming from the depths of distant and dusty history, vague and mysterious.

"Xu Fu, courtesy name Junfang,
He was a famous alchemist in the Qin Dynasty.
It is said that he is the last disciple of the legendary figure Guiguzi.

This person is knowledgeable and talented, and can be called an all-rounder.
He has in-depth research and proficiency in many fields such as medicine, astronomy, and navigation.
Among the people along the coastal areas, he enjoys a very high name and reputation and is highly respected.

According to the Records of Qin Shi Huang,

In the 28th year of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's reign, Xu Fu received an order from Emperor Qin Shi Huang.
Leading three thousand boys and girls, he resolutely embarked on a journey to Yingzhou.

Its mission is to find the legendary elixir of life for the emperor.

It is also mentioned in the "Brief History of the White and Red Empire": "In the seventy-second year of Emperor Xiaoling,
The Qin man Xu Fu came. '"

Xia Yunya's voice was low and steady.
It seems to be telling an ancient legend forgotten by time.
Every word carries the weight and depth of history.

"It is very likely that Xu Fu recorded something of vital importance.

It was not until recently that the White-Red Empire noticed it.

That's why they are willing to take huge risks.
He secretly sneaked into the Great Xia Empire, trying to take that thing for himself.

As for the specific details, you will need to conduct in-depth investigation on your own.

According to my experience and expectations,

This matter is probably extremely difficult and the situation is serious.

It may trigger a series of unpredictable consequences.

And that’s all I know.”

Xia Yunya said this, helplessly spreading his hands.

That action seemed to be telling fate about one's own powerlessness and insignificance.

No one knows whether there is divine intervention behind this.

And what secret did the White-Red Empire discover?
"I understand."

Chu He nodded solemnly.

Seeing this, Xia Yunya raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing that faint smile again.

Then, his figure gradually became blurred.
Like a wisp of smoke, it slowly disappeared on the top floor of the building.

Only emptiness and silence were left, as if he had never appeared here.

"Is the old man gone?"

Xia Chengli shook his head violently.

It was like waking up from a long and strange dream.

There was a trace of confusion and bewilderment in her eyes: "I am in this strange state again. Did the old man tell you some secrets that I can't know?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

Chu He simply gave a general account of Qin Shi Huang's affairs.
Just this brief description made Xia Chengli very excited.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she said impatiently: "Then we should act now without further delay.

Immediately set out for the White and Red Empire,

Demand that they return the things they stole from the Great Xia Empire. Don’t let them succeed!”

When Chu He and Xia Chengli returned to Ye Lingyun's office,
I saw that several respected senior members of the vampire family were already waiting here.

They held thick books in their hands and placed them on the table with focused expressions.

Ye Lingyun was sitting at the table, flipping through the books carefully.

Seeing Chu He return, Ye Lingyun did not ask any more questions.

Instead, he spoke directly: "We have roughly investigated the background information of the huge human face that appeared in the sky."

“What’s the background?”

Chu He asked,

There may be important clues hidden behind this that are closely related to the current situation, and we cannot afford to slack off in the slightest.

"Solomon of the Dark Church."

Ye Lingyun replied.

"Is that the name of that giant face in the sky?"

Xia Chengli came forward curiously, widened his eyes and asked,

Her heart was filled with curiosity and desire to explore this mysterious person.

Dark Holy See?

A hint of coldness flashed through Chu He's heart.

Although the Dark Church has always kept a low profile, everything it has done is insane.

In the Great Xia Empire alone, many tragedies were committed.
According to conservative estimates,

The Dark Church has killed at least thousands of people.

This so-called conservative estimate actually means that it is impossible to accurately calculate the number.

The Dark Church's secret methods can often turn living people into nothingness.

Not even a hair will be left.

Under such circumstances, it is extremely difficult to investigate the exact number of victims.

“That’s not the name of the giant face in the sky.

To be precise, this is actually a specific code name for the elite group of the Dark Church.

The so-called Solomon is one of the seventy-two mysterious demons.

In the first part of the occult classic "The Key of Solomon", "Witchcraft",
There are detailed records of these seventy-two demons.

Each of them has a unique position.
Such as commander, duke, marquis, earl, etc.

Each leads a different management team, and each is bound by a specific seal.

It is said that these demons can be summoned by humans.

Once successfully summoned, the summoner will have the opportunity to obtain their abilities and assistance.

Or gain some mysterious and ancient knowledge.

These 72 demons have different appearances.
Some of them resemble common animals, such as crows, wolves, etc., exuding a gloomy atmosphere.

Some of them are extremely bizarre in appearance, like a mixture of various creatures, which is frightening.”

Ye Lingyun spoke with a serious expression.

His eyes revealed a trace of fear of this mysterious dark force: "It's just that it's still unclear what the huge face in the sky you encountered is.
Which one of the seventy-two demon gods is it?

In the oldest religious text, the Book of Revelation,

There was once a mysterious record: one third of the angels fell and became fallen angels.

The original description is "a third of the stars have lost their brilliance".
From this we can infer that their number far exceeds 30,000.

In the Middle Ages,

An abbot once lamented that "demons are as numerous as sand."
This shows how huge and astonishing the number is.

As for the specific number of demons, people have begun to try to calculate it accurately in modern times.

One of the more popular sayings is that
The number of demon armies is 1111.
And each legion is composed of 6666 fallen angels.

Thus, through simple calculation, we can get

The total number is as high as 7405926.

No matter what, the number of demons is undoubtedly extremely large, like the stars in the vast universe, countless.

Especially after they intermingled with the indigenous spirits and reproduced together,
By the 20th century,

The number of fallen angels has exploded.

I'm afraid even the sand and gravel in the sky pale in comparison.

Among the many legends,
There is a legend that says,

In the book of magic compiled by King Solomon,
It records his legendary experience of signing a contract with seventy-two demon gods.

He engraved the name of the devil on the seventy-two pillars one by one. After that, the Dark Church rose rapidly like mushrooms after rain.

However, after its rise, there have not been many eye-catching actions.

Always keep a low profile, like a ghost hiding in the depths of darkness.

But as far as I know, they have been doing something extremely secretive behind the scenes.
I highly doubt it.
Their goal is to constantly summon all the 72 demon gods to wake up.

And thus control the powerful force that is enough to subvert the world.

The most important thing is that now all parties are unclear about where the headquarters of the Dark Church is hidden.

As far as I know, the Holy See of the Lighthouse Empire also conducted a major investigation, but unfortunately found nothing. "

"It seems that the situation in the west of Blue Star is much more complicated than that in the east."

Xia Chengli was dizzy and confused after hearing what she heard. She scratched her head, her face full of confusion and bewilderment.

"Move immediately!"

Chu He acted decisively, his tone firm and resolute, without the slightest hesitation.

Then, he used his powerful spiritual power to
The details of the White and Red Empire and everything Xia Yunya just said,
It was directly transmitted to Ye Lingyun through spiritual infusion, like a surging stream of information.

Ye Lingyun was instantly overwhelmed by this huge torrent of information.

The whole person sat in the seat, his body trembling slightly.

The expression on his face kept changing, with shock, confusion, and solemnity appearing alternately.

Ten minutes passed.
She slowly came back to her senses from the intense shock.

At this moment, the situation on the entire Blue Star has become increasingly complicated, like a tangled mess.
It is difficult to make sense of it, and it is like a fog that makes people lost and unable to find direction.

Chu He knew very well that his decision was correct under such a serious situation.

Only by concentrating all the strength in one place,
Only in this way can we build a solid defense system and achieve a favorable situation where we can attack when we advance and defend when we retreat.

Otherwise, once the forces are dispersed, it will be very easy for the enemy to defeat them one by one.

At that time, everyone's fate will be even more miserable and tragic, and they will fall into an irretrievable situation.

In less than a day,
Ye Lingyun relies on his efficient organizational skills and decisive decision-making ability.

Quickly gather all members of the vampire family.

Then, they used a very secretive method.

Like a ghost in the dark night, it left the territory of the Lighthouse Empire quietly but quickly.

Just at this time,

A crisp and mechanical system prompt suddenly sounded in Chu He's mind:
"Ding! The mission of traveling to the other side of the ocean and successfully resolving the crisis encountered by Ye Lingyun is completed.

Obtained reward: Holy Lord Realm! "

As this reminder sounded,

A torrent of information as deep and boundless as the universe,
And the majestic energy,
In an instant, it surged into Chu He's body like a surging tide.

Chu He only felt his body tremble slightly.
Surrounded by an invisible force,

The meridians and blood in the body began to run wildly, and an unprecedented powerful feeling arose spontaneously.

"Ding! The host's current state has been detected, triggering a new task: Properly handle the events that occurred in the White-Red Empire.

Complete the mission and get the reward: Tathagata Palm!

Mission failed, no penalty."

The system prompt sounded again.

What Chu He didn't expect was that
After traveling to the other side of the ocean and successfully resolving the crisis that Ye Lingyun encountered, the prompt sound of the mission completion sounded,

Unexpectedly, a whole new task was triggered.

……

Within the territory of the Great Xia Empire.

"Mr. Chu, you are finally back!"

The moment Liu Yuzhu saw Chu He, her eyes instantly lit up with surprise.

In her heart, as long as Chu He returns,
The entire Daxia Empire seemed to have a solid backbone.
No matter what difficulties and obstacles we face, we will be fearless and as steady as a rock.

"Where's Tamamonomae?"

Chu He glanced around and then asked softly.

Before returning to the Great Xia Empire, he had already notified Tamamonomae in advance and asked her to be on standby.

"Master, I'm here!"

I saw a white light streak across the sky like a meteor in the distance.

The next second, it landed accurately on Chu He's shoulder.

The snow-white, jade-like fox with lustrous fur shook its head slightly.

She stretched out her pink tongue and gently licked Chu He's face.

She responded tenderly,

She looks like a coquettish and cute girl, very lovable.

"Are you trying to seduce my brother Chu?"

Xia Chengli saw this,
She asked without any hesitation, directly holding Chu He's arm.

"The mission is over. No need to pretend anymore."

Chu He reluctantly pushed Xia Chengli's hand away, with a bitter smile on his face.

Xia Chengli laughed twice.
It seems that he didn't take this matter to heart.
The smile was as bright as the warm spring sun, instantly dispelling the previous gloom.

She has now become addicted to the task of disguising her identity and enjoys it.

In short, Xia Chengli is not only a middle school student now, but also tends to become a drama queen.

"Do you know about Xu Fu of the White and Red Empire?"

Chu He turned to look at Tamamonomae and asked slowly.

"know."

Tamamonomae nodded slightly, her eyes revealing innocence and honesty: "But, I didn't mean to hide it.
It is because in the past,

This incident has always been regarded as a fabrication.

At least at that time, everyone thought so and no one took it seriously.

There is a place called Takamagahara in the White-Red Empire.

According to the mythology of the White and Red Empire, Kojiki,

It is the abode of the gods ruled by Amaterasu.

It is completely different from the eight great states on earth.

It is depicted as a mysterious island floating on the sea, hidden in the clouds.

In the myths and legends of the White and Red Empire, this is the heavenly world where the gods live.

The Awahara Kingdom where humans live on the surface and the Yomiuri Kingdom underground,
Together they form the three major realms of the mythology of the White-Red Empire.

In the mysterious Takamagahara,

The sun goddess Amaterasu is in supreme ruling position.

The other gods all have their own clear duties, and they serve the sun god wholeheartedly.

This is like the nobles leading numerous clans and tribes.
Devoutly serving the son of Amaterasu.

This incident is well known in the White-Red Empire.
Even children aged five, six, seven or eight are familiar with it, and it has spread very widely.

Since there has been no actual verification, over time,
It really just became a myth.

However, before I came to the Great Xia Empire to follow my master,
However, the top leaders of the White-Red Empire have been secretly researching and exploring matters concerning Takamagahara.

At that time, I paid some attention to it, but the progress of the research was always stagnant and remained at zero.
Later, I gradually lost interest.

My master asked me this question today.

Could it be that people from the White-Red Empire sneaked into the Great Xia Empire a few days ago?

Is it because of this Takamagahara incident?"
