Tales of Herding Gods

Chapter 601: Granny Si’s Small Shoes

That devil god was fighting the god of Great Ruins who was guarding that sacrificial altar and even though he could see and hear in all directions, his enemy was simply too strong thus he had no choice but to put in complete focus. When this shirt came flying over, he didn’t felt any threat from it thus he didn’t put up his guard. When the shirt was cloaked onto his body, only then did he react but it was already too late.

Once this shirt of Granny Si was on, it rapidly shrunk and binding his chest and causing his chest to contract rapidly. His ribs also snapped one by one.

This shirt seemed to have been covered with needles that stabbed into his body and a sharp pain traveled over, making him unable to bear it.

That devil god couldn’t catch his breath so he hurriedly shrunk his body. As a devil god, controlling the size of their body was naturally very simple. Right at this moment, his opponent swept over with a sword and he managed to coincidentally avoided this sword as he was shrinking his body.

However, as he shrunk, that shirt also shrunk but it still bound him tightly.

“Just break!”

His body expanded but that shirt didn’t expand along with him. That devil god instantly heard the sounds of his ribs breaking!

Not only did his ribs break, but his five viscera and six bowels were also all squashed at nearly the same time.

His chest was bound into the thickness of a thumb and there were silver needles everywhere in the shirt, covering his entire body. They destroyed his bodily functions and when he expanded his body under such a situation, he was truly seeking death.

That god that was fighting with him stabbed his sword through his head in that instant his body expanded, nailing his primordial spirit to death.

That devil god stared with his eyes wide open and blood poured out from his mouth. He rasped, “If I wasn’t wearing this small shirt, you wouldn’t have defeated me…” After he said so, he took his last breath.

That shirt automatically came off from his corpse and returned to Granny Si’s side. The shirt automatically disassembled into cloth strips and returned back into the basket.

Qin Mu looked at the cloth strips in the basket and he probed. “Granny Si’s skill in tailoring is becoming more and more outstanding. Where are these cloth strips from, why are they able to bind a devil god’s corporeal body?”

“The cloth strips are weaved from the tendons of gods and there are also a few tendons of dragons, I’ve found them in Great Ruins. Because there’s too little, I can only weave them into cloth strips.”

Granny Si said with a smile, “The crux is still Great Educational Heavenly Devil Scriptures which is able to sew these tattered cloth strips together and made the devil god unable to break free.”

Qin Mu blinked his eyes. “Other than a shirt, what else can granny make?”

“I can still make two small shoes, I still have some strong cloth soles made from the skin of a devil god, it’s more than enough to made two pairs of cloth shoes.”

Granny Si took out two pairs of soles and she blinked her eyes while smiling. “Once one wears my small shoes, I can definitely make him neither live nor die, he will be unable to take them off no matter what. Does Mu’er wants to wear the small shoes granny make?”

“I don’t! You have made me wear too many small shoes when I was little and now my feet are all squeezed small!”

As they talked, that god from Great Ruins that was guarding the altar invited them. “May two Dao friends come up to gather!”

Qin Mu and Granny Si scaled up the altar. That god was like a jade tree in the wind and looked very handsome. When he saw Granny Si’s appearance, his Dao heart was slightly shaken and he hurriedly stabilized his spirit. He bowed to express his gratitude. “So it’s Cult Master Qin. Is this a Dao friend from Supreme Emperor Heaven? Thank you for your assistance!”

“Senior recognizes me?” Qin Mu was astonished.

That god said with a smile, “Heavenly Teacher has talked about Cult Master once.”

Qin Mu hurriedly asked, “Where’s Heavenly Teacher?”

“Over there!”

That god raised his finger to point into the distance. “From here on, the sixth sacrificial altar is where Heavenly Teacher is guarding. I need to stay here and guard the sacrificial altar here so I can’t escort the both of you, pardon me!”

Qin Mu and Granny Si bade farewell and walked towards the direction he had pointed. On the journey, they saw other sacrificial altars also being attacked. It was either the devil army pouring towards the sacrificial altar like a flood or it was devil god fighting the god alone, struggling over the power to control the altar.

Qin Mu and Granny Si would help if they could and if they couldn’t, they would take a detour.

A sacrificial altar had already fallen into the hands of the devil race and the god on top should have been killed. This was something that couldn’t be prevented. Saint Woodcutter has grabbed hold of what the devil race cherishes the most and used Luofu Heaven as a threat. The devil race had no choice but to pit their lives and seize back some capital for negotiation.

“Luofu Heaven is so dangerous yet there are actually still devils dwelling here!”

Qin Mu and Granny Si saw the bones and corpses of numerous devil gods being erected in some restricted areas. Over there, there were stone tablets of various elevation and on the stone tablets, devil writings were engraved. They should be used for defending against the natural disasters here.

Furthermore, the devils were living in the divine treasures of these devil gods’ corpses. It seemed that after the natural disaster happened, some devil gods have offered out their bodies to let their clansmen survive.

“Granny Si, why does this devil world have natural disasters? Where are these natural disasters coming from?” Qin Mu was puzzled and he raised his head to look at the broken planet in the sky. The planet was extremely huge and was currently moving. It raised even more natural disasters and invoked the earth, water, wind, and fire.

There were still shattered pieces of stars in the sky and they descended down like fire snakes, crashing somewhere.

Granny Si shook her head, “How would I know? Maybe this place is a true natural disaster or maybe some god had used great magic power to move these planets over, using them to descend disasters down. As for what the exact reason is, maybe only existence like Fu Riluo could know.”

Finally, they came to the sixth sacrificial altar.

Qin Mu and Granny Si looked from afar and saw the devil qi on that sacrificial altar were separated into black and white. They swirled around each other in the sky above, just like two huge fishes slowly swimming with their heads connected to each other’s tails.

‘Fu Riluo has arrived!’

Qin Mu’s heart was astonished. ‘I wonder if Lu Li is here? If Lu Li is here, Saint Woodcutter will be in danger!’

He looked up the sacrificial altar and he could see numerous different divine treasures but other than Saint Woodcutter and Fu Riluo’s divine treasures, he didn’t see any more divine treasures that had already stepped into the celestial palaces or devil god palaces.

Lu Li wasn’t among those that followed Fu Riluo up the sacrificial altar. Instead, they were some disciples that had yet to cultivate to devil gods so they weren’t of much threat.

Contrariwise, they were a few divine treasures of devil god below the sacrificial altar. Fu Riluo must have also be afraid that Saint Woodcutter would suddenly become ruthless and just sacrifice Luofu Heaven, thus he left the devil gods that had followed him at the bottom of the altar.

Qin Mu put his heart at ease and followed Granny Si to walk towards the sixth sacrificial altar.

When they came to the bottom of the sacrificial altar, Qin Mu saw the black tiger god and he couldn’t help becoming delighted. He waved his hand at him.

The black tiger god paid him no attention and wielded his two hammers in his hands. He looked nervously at those two devil gods on the other side.

Saint Woodcutter’s voice rang out. “Qin Mu, gods are not allowed to step foot on the altar, that woman beside you can remain below, you can come up.”

Qin Mu acknowledged.

Granny Si couldn’t resist saying, “Sacred Teacher, I’m the previous saintess of Heavenly Saint Cult, I admire Sacred Teacher very much, may I beg Sacred Teacher let me take a look at you!”

On the sacrificial altar, Saint Woodcutter popped his head out and looked down. He couldn’t help becoming slightly stunned and he said slowly, “What a woman, almost messing up my Dao heart. Heavenly Saint Cult has no relations to me, you have also taken a look at me so don’t come up, otherwise, the frame of mind will be unstable.”

Granny Si could only acknowledge and remained beside the black tiger god. She instructed with a low voice, “Mu’er, after you go up, don’t execute Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique. If you have to, you need to paste this golden willow leaf on the heart of your brows.”

“Granny, don’t worry, I will!”

Qin Mu walked up the steps with wide steps and finally came up to the top of the sacrificial altar not long later. He saw Fu Riluo and Saint Woodcutter each sitting high up in their seats and below Fu Riluo were a few youths. Zhe Huali was among them and that Young Master Qi Jiuyi from the celestial heavens was also there!

However, Qi Jiuyi had his own seat which showed that his status dictated that he had the rights to take a seat.

Qin Mu walked forward and bowed to Saint Woodcutter. He then greeted Fu Riluo and Fu Riluo sat them motionlessly, gently nodding his head as a return of greeting.

Qin Mu then greeted Qi Jiuyi and Zhe Huali. The two of them returned the greeting and didn’t have a hint of arrogance just because Qin Mu was their opponent.

Qin Mu came to the bottom of Saint Woodcutter and stood there. Fu Riluo looked at him curiously and saw the white ribbon covering Qin Mu’s eyes yet there was a vertical eye that was on the heart of his brows, which allowed him to see. He said with a smile, “Little Friend Qin, the eye in the heart of your brows sure is strange.”

The eye in the heart of Qin Mu’s brows hung down and he didn’t look at him.

Fu Riluo laughed and said, “Why don’t you dare to look at me, could you be scared of me? You are still young, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, if you have fear for me, I worry for your future cultivation and Dao heart! Come, raise your head and take a look at me.”

Qin Mu disregarded his words.

Qi Jiuyi and Zhe Huali were also examining Qin Mu. They were also puzzled and didn’t know why Qin Mu would cover up his eyes. Furthermore, they were very curious about the third eye in the heart of his brows.

Saint Woodcutter looked at Qin Mu and he only saw him hanging his head down in slight dejection. He said with a smile, “Qin Mu, why have you come to find me? Why have you covered up your eyes? Oh, I know, you have crossed gazes with Fu Riluo again?”

Qin Mu nodded his head and he was ashamed. “Disciple and the few elders in my family laid a diversion and stopped Senior Fu Riluo’s army of a million, thus I got harmed by Fu Riluo again. When I cross gaze with him, he had placed another divine art in my eyes. If I look into the mirror, I would be taken away by him. I don’t know how to solve this kind of divine art thus I’ve come to find teacher.”

Saint Woodcutter said with a smile, “Fu Riluo is your senior, he’s joking with you. He’s right here so why does he need to play these little tricks to take you away? Undo your silk ribbon, let me see how he kidnap you.”

Qin Mu undid the silk ribbon and revealed his eyes.

Saint Woodcutter said with a smile, “Look in the mirror, see if he can seize you.”

Qin Mu took out the mirror and take a look. Fu Riluo’s figure appeared once more and became larger and larger as he walked out from the mirror.

Qn Mu’s hands trembled as he couldn’t bear the weight of the mirror. Fu Riluo in the mirror was actually the Fu Riluo in his own eyes. He was about to devour him like a nightmare!

Suddenly, Saint Woodcutter swung the ax he used to chop firewood and chopped onto the mirror Qin Mu was holding!

On the other side, Fu Riluo grunted and a bloody mark suddenly appeared on the heart of his brows.

Qin Mu felt like he was released from a burden and the pressure vanished completely.

Saint Woodcutter pulled back his ax and said with a smile, “I told you Fu Riluo is joking with you, he is your senior, how could he lay his hands on you? Won’t he be worried that I get angered and chop his disciples to death?”

A trail of blood flowed down from the heart of Fu Riluo’s brows, separating apart when it reached his nose bridge. His three faces all revealed looks of anger.

“Old friend, you should know if you continue to guard Luofu Heaven, you might not die but your twenty-four Dao friends will be unable to escape death!”

He turned to another face and said solemnly, “It’s not our devil race that wants to wipe you out, the one that truly wants to wipe you guys out is someone else. With your wisdom, you should know how powerful he is so why aren’t you letting them send themselves to death?”
