The villain's daily corpse collection

Wang Wei sighed and came over with a glass of water: "Drink it and go to sleep, you won't have nightmares tonight."

Huo Feng stood up and drank it all in one gulp, then saw Wang Wei leaning against his couch with his eyes closed.

Is she...staying to accompany me?

Huo Feng was extremely conflicted. On the one hand, he didn't want Wang Wei to look down on him. On the other hand, he had been a god and had practiced for many years. He was not a child anymore. Wouldn't it be funny if he needed someone to accompany him when he had a nightmare?

But there was another voice in his heart telling him that he didn't want Wang Wei to be too far away from him. Having her by his side always made him feel at ease.

"Master, aren't you tired just sitting like this?"

Huo Feng expressed it implicitly. He actually wanted to say that the couch was spacious and could accommodate two people. Did the master want to lie down and rest? But she was the master after all. It was too frivolous and disrespectful for him to say so.

"I am a god, not an ordinary mortal." Wang Wei closed her eyes and replied. Her words seemed to emphasize to herself that she should always remember her identity. Then, she added, "You should take good care of yourself. We will set off the day after tomorrow."

"where are we going?"

"Yangdu Fangqiu City."

"Why go there?"

"My guess."

“Is there no record in the Sutra Repository?” Huo Feng jumped up and looked as if he had sensed something, but he did not open his eyes.

"There are very few records. It is said that there are some special artifacts scattered in this world. These artifacts come from heaven and can draw out all the power in you. We are going down the mountain to find these artifacts. The artifacts are of unknown shape and name. There are eight in total. If we find all of them, we can solve your problem." Wang Wei's answer was ambiguous.

"Is that all? Isn't it too easy?" Huo Feng was puzzled.

"Silly disciple, of course not. These artifacts are scattered all over the world. Now I can only guess at one place, which is Fangqiu City in the northeast."

"Why is it Fang Qiu?"

Wang Wei opened her eyes and turned around, only to see Huo Feng facing her, so close that she had not expected him to be. The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little strange. Wang Wei stuffed Huo Feng back into the quilt with one hand and tucked in the corners of the quilt for him.

"This is the land of life. All things revive here, and life continues. This represents awakening and growth. Considering your situation, I think it's most appropriate to go to Fangqiu first."

In fact, Wang Wei searched in the Sutra Repository for a long time and finally found the secret method of reshaping the divine body in an ancient book.

The preface of the classic book tells about many reasons why the body of a god is broken. For example, a god is punished by heaven for making mistakes, and heaven sends down punishment, causing the body of the god to be broken. In serious cases, the soul of the god cannot escape punishment either.

There is another situation, that is, encountering some unexpected accidents, causing the divine body to be broken, which is an extremely rare event. Accidents include but are not limited to the situation like Wang - falling into the mortal world from an unregistered wild road.

Wang Wei was speechless about this incident that happened to her. She blamed the mistakes on Tianzun Junzhao's negligence.

God is the manifestation of the way of heaven. The body of God will not be easily damaged, and the soul of God is also difficult to destroy. But once it is destroyed, the damage will be huge. Just like Wang Wei now, only in the low-level world can she maintain some dignity as a God. If she encounters the same kind, she has considered the worst plan.

The solution to the whole thing, in simple terms, is to collect body fragments.

The body of the god is also divided into eight parts, namely the head, eyes, ears, mouth, hands, feet, thighs, and abdomen. As long as these missing body parts are found, the god's body will naturally be reshaped.

The power of the demon god would naturally follow her breath and gradually return to her body. At least that was the theory, after all, no god had ever truly experienced the entire process of destruction and reconstruction.

Thinking of this, Wang Wei envied the gods who came to the mortal world to experience tribulations. They did not need to carry burdensome memories with them. They could be themselves in each life they experienced, without being restricted by their previous memories. It was absolutely impossible for her to pretend to forget everything, and there were always people reminding her of her past... She did not want to deceive herself.

The next evening, Huo Feng bid farewell to the elders of Tianhe Sect and explained their plans to go down the mountain. Wang Wei waited by the stone Qilin at the entrance of the main hall. After all, Huo Feng came from this sect, so he had to give them some space to talk.

"Are you going down the mountain now?" Chunhe's tone revealed reluctance.

"Yes, Great Elder." Huo Feng nodded, "My master and I are going to the Mortal Realm to experience some things, but we won't be away for too long... and if we want to come back later, it will be more convenient than staying in the Heavenly Realm."

"You have been away from the mortal world for many years, it's time for you to come back and experience it slowly. But, has your master never been to the mortal world? You have been together for so long, have you ever asked about her origins, her identity in the heavenly world, etc." Chun He asked in a low voice, his eyes curious and inquiring.

"I haven't asked Master," Huo Feng said truthfully, "Since the ceremony has already been completed, I don't think it's necessary to rush to ask about something that has not been mentioned."

"Yes, you are right." Chun He smiled and patted Huo Feng on the shoulder. The other elders also asked about his future.

Huo Feng always remembered why he was resurrected, so during the period before he left, he copied many cultivation books unique to the heaven and a heavenly atlas to help the lower world better familiarize themselves with the things in the heaven and the undeveloped black iron spiritual mines in the mortal world.

The most important thing is his status as a god. For a Taoist monk of the same level, fame and status are indeed useful in certain situations. Since then, Tianhe Sect has changed its appearance and revived its strength.

The day was clear, and everyone saw them off to the mountain gate. Wang Wei waved goodbye to the elders and exchanged a promise for a request to remain anonymous. The gods in heaven would find this place sooner or later, so he had to keep a hand in everything.

Huo Feng looked back at the mountain gate, then went down the mountain carrying his bag and a sword given by Elder Feng.

Wang Wei, who had been using magic, had hardly ever used any weapons. This time, he also carried two short and powerful daggers with him in case of emergency.

The Fire Deity Mars God has come to the lower world to look for her, so she should not be too conspicuous. Wang Wei put away the feathered clothes made by the Weaver Girl and changed into clothes that were more suitable for the mortal world, just like Huo Feng - both were long silk satin gowns in green tones. The hem of the clothes fluttered in the wind, and also had the demeanor of a celestial monarch.

Things are finally getting on the right track. Wang Wei breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the bustling market in front of her, where people were crowded together.

This was her first time to officially step into the mortal world. Tianhe Gate was remote and surrounded by cultivators. She had also encountered the demons at the foot of the mountain. She had never experienced the real world.

"This is the morning market, and it is also the beginning of a city's awakening and operation." Huo Feng introduced, "We are located in the westernmost part of Zhongyue. We need to go to the pier and take a boat to Fangqiu in the northeast. It is in front."

He unfolded the map and explained, "You can get there by taking the Gengwu passenger boat from Sifeng Wharf. This is the fastest route."

Wang Wei smiled and grabbed the map, saying, "My disciple, have you forgotten that we are gods? Why do we need to go there by boat? Of course we have to fly there."

"But the distance is too far, and flying requires too much spiritual energy. I'm worried... If I use the lowest level of divine method to fly, will it be discovered by the higher-ups?" Huo Feng was a little cautious about this.

Wang Wei thought to himself, "...I actually forgot about this. I'm still on the wanted list of the heavens. Plus, with my and his initial spiritual power, I'd better not force it for now."

Wang Wei pretended to be calm and said, "Then let's go by water... Wait, this is the dock? Why is there not even a drop of water?"

The scene before her really surprised her. This was a waterless port with countless fishing boats rotting on the dry riverbed, looking dilapidated after being corroded by time.

If it weren't for the people coming and going around, Wang Wei would almost think this place was an abandoned place. In fact, she guessed correctly, this place had been abandoned before, starting from the time when it stopped raining normally in the mortal world.

"This place has been dry for a long time, and the boats no longer use the river." A dry and hoarse voice came from behind the master and disciple, and the sound seemed as if this place had been dry for a long time.

The two turned around at the same time. It was a face full of traces of time. The old woman had few teeth left, and her words were hard to hear. Perhaps she knew her situation, so she deliberately raised her voice when she spoke, attracting passers-by to look at her.

"Why did this place become like this?" Wang Wei asked first.

"It has always been like this here. Without the water you mentioned, it would be like a rare treasure to an old woman like me. Excess water would only flow into the mansions of the powerful and wealthy. How could it end up in this rotten and withered sandy land! The passenger boat you are waiting for travels on this sandy land." The old woman slowly approached them with her cane.

Huo Feng hurriedly stepped forward to support the old woman and took her to sit on a stone platform nearby.

"You two young people are really well-informed. You know that there used to be water here. I grew up here when I was young, but I never knew what rivers and lakes were. It was not until I learned to read in middle age that I learned about them from some old books."

"It's so dry now. It wasn't like this when I left. What's going on?" Huo Feng muttered in confusion.

"Leave? Where are you leaving at such a young age?" The old woman's hearing ability actually caught the key point. Wang Wei nudged Huo Feng with her elbow, and he realized that he had said something out of turn.

"Grandma, you heard me wrong. What I meant was why this place is so dry?" Huo Feng pretended to ask loudly to disrupt the old woman's train of thought.

"Oh, you old woman, your hearing is poor, please speak louder." The old woman did not doubt him and continued to answer the questions of these two people who had not been involved in worldly affairs for many years. "Legend has it that it was a punishment from heaven caused by the Twelve Kingdoms Rebellion. Heaven believed that the human race who provoked the war was guilty, so it wanted to punish everyone. It has not rained much since then. Now there are only a few drops of drizzle during the Flower Festival and the Three Yuan Festival. It is too difficult to satisfy everyone for a whole year."

"That's right," a young man who was pulling goods passed by and couldn't help but interrupt, "Now all the water has to be distributed by those powerful people. They are so cunning, as if they knew it all along and they hold all the water resources in their own hands."

"The current situation is so serious. Why doesn't the Heaven care about this matter? Master, do you know any news?" Huo Feng was really confused, he asked in a low voice.

"I do not know."

Wang Wei looked up at the sky. She didn't know how to respond to this question. After all, she was the culprit. It was she who proposed the plan to fight against the Heavenly Palace to the previous demon god, her grandfather. As the god of water, her advantage was to monopolize the water sources in all directions.

This matter had not been fully implemented that year, and later Chen Zhongtian was caught in the dilemma of being besieged by the gods in the Heavenly Palace. Bo Shangwang, who was a demon god, monopolized the water resources of the world in anger, and water became the negotiation condition between her and Tianzun.

She knew nothing about what was happening in the underworld. But even if she knew, she would not change her decision. After all, doing things only for herself was her code of conduct.

Looking at the young man's chapped lips, the old woman said bluntly: "Erniu, do you want to go to my house to drink some water? I have some rainwater from the Flower Festival. I am old and can't drink that much. You work hard, so you should drink more."

"No, no, thank you Grandma Zhao, I can find a way to get water!" Erniu declined hurriedly. He took out a kettle and collected his sweat in it.

"What is this for? It's not going to..." Huo Feng asked curiously.

"Of course not!" Erniu had already predicted what Huo Feng would say, "Someone in the black market in Siqian City has got a powerful thing. Just collect any water, that is, sweat or urine, and then go to that store... There is a thing there, I can't really tell what it is, it will do something to the water, the word seems to be... purification! Yes, purification, and then the water becomes clean and drinkable." Erniu described it stumblingly.

"That's really magical, may the Water God bless you!" The old woman said in a pleasantly surprised voice, "I'll try it tomorrow too."

Water Official Emperor... Wang Wei seemed to be thinking deeply. Currently, there were only Heaven Official Emperor and Earth Official Emperor in the Heavenly Palace. The Water God lineage was under her jurisdiction. There was no such god as Water Official Emperor. If there was, this position should also be decided by her.

Huo Feng asked again: "I have never heard of the Water Official Emperor, Master, who is this person?"

Wang Wei's heart tightened. She didn't want to be a master who didn't know anything anymore. She breathed in and out to calm her mind, turned her head and leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Without this god, there is no water department in the heavenly palace. Have you forgotten?"

Huo Feng recalled it and subconsciously leaned closer to look, "Yes."

Wang Wei breathed a sigh of relief. Having been fooled once again, she relaxed and leaned close to Huo Feng's ear and said, "Stupid, you forgot all this."

Whispering always has a special power, making the listener's ears feel like wind, their face feel slightly hot, and their heart feel itchy. Especially a close scolding will aggravate such symptoms.

Huo Feng felt his face turn red when he got hot. He took a half step to the side somewhat unnaturally, wanting to stay away from Wang a little to avoid attracting attention with his excessive emotional fluctuations.

Wang Wei didn't notice his little action. She looked into the distance and saw a double-decker passenger boat slowly approaching from a distance. No, to be exact, it was flying. The passenger boat spread its large wooden wings, occasionally swinging up and down, not flying very high, and looked very stable and reliable.

"Is that the passenger boat?" she asked the old woman for confirmation. The old woman squinted her eyes and looked carefully: "Yes, yes, that's it." Wang Wei nodded in response, and then walked towards the dock.

"Grandma, we are leaving. Bye first and see you later. Take care of yourself." Huo Feng said goodbye formally. He was secretly glad that no one noticed him just now.

"Young man, don't blame me, an old woman, for being nosy. The girl traveling with you...be careful..." The old woman looked at Wang Wei's back with a pair of cloudy eyes. This time, her tone was very light and her words were unclear.

Before the old woman finished her words, Huo Feng gently interrupted her: "Grandma, I know what you want to say. She is my master, and I am her apprentice. We are a master-apprentice relationship, and there will not be... any other relationship. You don't have to bring us together." After saying goodbye, he bowed and turned to leave.

The old woman was stunned for a moment when she heard his words. She murmured, "Old woman, when did I ever try to bring you together? I just wanted to remind you to be careful with that girl..."
