Chapter 369: Great General of Rat Extermination
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After waking up, Ling Ping’an picked up his phone.
Then, he realized that the entire online world seemed to be boiling.
“Yongzhou Cauldron has appeared!”
The number one trending topic on Wechat read exploded!
“Nine Cauldrons appear again!” The short video traffic exploded!
He couldn’t help clicking on it and his mouth opened like a duck’s egg.
“Yongzhou Cauldron is found in the River of Womanhood?”
“Why didn’t you f*cking tell me that you found the Heshibi in front of my house?”
He scratched his head.
When he thought about it, it seemed like it was really possible to find the Heshibi in his house.
Under one of his bookshelves, there was a piece of Heshibi that was thrown into a box to collect dust.
Of course, it was definitely a counterfeit article even though it looked the same as the real thing.
There was a small inscription engraved with the words ‘Ordained by heaven, live on forever’ but that thing didn’t have any missing corners and it wasn’t repaired with gold either.
Moreover, the color of the jade wasn’t that good either.
It looked like a crudely made product from a small workshop.
That thing was a toy that Ling Ping’an found at the foot of the wall in a haunted house when he was playing there. It had been his toy since he was very young.
While he was still small he didn’t know what it was, so he used to play it with his friends and he pretended to be an emperor.
After growing up, he always felt embarrassed whenever he thought about it.
Of course, he also knew that it was a counterfeit article because the real Hebishi had been broken by someone and was missing a corner. Wang Mang, the great transmigrator, fixed it with gold.
He continued to read the big news that exploded on the internet.
Ling Ping’an discovered a problem.
“Why aren’t there any pictures?”
“Where are the pictures of the Yongzhou Cauldron?”
He searched through all the websites, but he didn’t see any pictures of the Yongzhou Cauldron.
There was only the vast River of Womanhood, as well as the helicopters and fighter planes that were circling above the river.
The group of planes densely packed the sky.
Seeing this, Ling Ping’an even thought that there were foreign enemies invading the Nanzhou Kingdom and her Homeland Defense Air Force was all mobilized to fight!
…
It was already night time at the River of Womanhood.
Above their heads, a fleet of helicopters was densely packed against the treetops.
Under the night sky, fighter jets filled with ammunition whistled over, forming formations ready for battle.
The fifth-ranked Air Force in the world was using an irrefutable fact to announce their existence to the world.
Hmm…
Those four in front of the Nanzhou Kingdom’s Air Force were: Federal Empire Air Force, Federal Empire Navy Air Force, Federal Empire Air Force Reserve, and the Beizhou Kingdom Air Force Command…
However, these helicopters and fighter jets were far away from Li An’an and her speedboat because…
A one kilometer radius around Li An’an as the center point had already been set as a no-fly zone.
Any action that got close to her would be considered as ‘treason’.
In the orbit, the few space-based weapon systems that were on strategic duty had already turned on their weapons safety.
These tungsten rods flickered with a deadly luster in the space were no joke.
Even God wouldn’t be able to take them head-on!
Apart from that, in the depths of the clouds, a huge eye was monitoring everything nearby.
Situ He had arrived but even he couldn’t get close because the Yongzhou Cauldron was of great importance!
It was one of the nine cauldrons, and it was a yang cauldron.
Together with Jizhou Cauldron found in Si Shui, they formed a yin and yang combination.
Yin and yang complemented each other and would cause its power doubled!
Therefore, no one dared to take the Yongzhou Cauldron lightly.
The local commander-in-chief was already on a supersonic fighter jet and was rushing over at full speed.
He was almost there!
Bang!
A series of sonic booms sounded in the sky.
A strange high-speed fighter jet was flying through the clouds.
Then, a human figure jumped down from 20,000 meters in the sky.
He landed steadily on the speedboat.
It was Li Shouyi!
“Commander-in-chief!” Li An’an heaved a sigh of relief and quickly saluted.
Chu Weiwei saluted as well, “Commander-in-chief!”
Li Shouyi nodded, “Thank you for your hard work!”
He took a deep breath and looked at the bronze cauldron in the river.
Under the moonlight, the psionic power on top of the cauldron was still flowing.
The red dragon patterns faintly had the sound of a dragon’s roar.
On top of the cauldron, the images of ghosts, gods, birds, beasts, mountains and rivers were engraved. They were overflowing with light and shadows that could make one’s mind sway.
It was indeed the nine cauldrons!
The divine cauldron that could suppress the heavens and earth!
It was the divine cauldron forged by Emperor Yu. In the legends of the mountains and seas, it represented the authority of the emperor!
Those who did not submit would be crushed to death by the cauldron!
This was the nine cauldrons!
This was also the reason the Xia clan dared to call themselves the ‘Sun’.
Beneath the covering of the nine cauldrons, the emperor would be like the Sun.
Thus, ghosts and gods would bow their heads and the world would be at peace!
Li Shouyi took a deep breath. He knew that as long as he gathered the nine cauldrons he would not need to waste time with anyone even the other party was from Federal Empire.
There was a saying the son of Heaven could write the heavenly law while holding the Nine Cauldrons!
Anyone that violated the heavenly law, he would be stripped off from his divine position if he was a god. If one was an immortal, he would be stripped off from immortal books and stricken down to the mortal world!
…
Ling Ping’an walked down the stairs and his cat was already waiting for him.
He took out his phone and looked at the news.
Then, he scratched his head.
“Hehe…”
“I’ll go take a look at my Heshibi!”
He walked to the bookshelf at the very end with a smile on his face. He squatted down and took out a wooden box under the bookshelf.
He opened the box, revealing the things inside.
They were all toys, toys from his childhood.
Paper airplanes that he made himself…
Kites that he made himself…
And the pile of gyroscopes and cards that he bought.
Finally, in the innermost part of the box, he found what he was looking for.
There was a jade seal that looked a little mottled on the outside. It was green with a hint of yellow.
Ling Ping’an took it and flipped it lightly. At the bottom of the jade seal, a wording appeared before his eyes.
“Ordained by heaven, live on forever!”
He smiled and shook his head. Then, he took the jade seal and shook his head as if he was in his middle school days. He said, “I… receive orders from the heavens…”
“That’s not right!” He shook his head.
As a young man in the new era, how could he go against the will of the heavens?
Thus, he rearranged his lines and said again, “I receive orders from myself!”
Yes, he only believed in himself.
What kind of gods and bodhisattvas were there?
Materialists would never entrust their hopes and fates to those illusory bodhisattvas and gods.
Even if they existed, Ling Ping’an would not worship them!
Because his education told him that when the flood reached the sky, there were no gods and Buddhas who would come out to use their supernatural powers to save the people.
It was Da Yu who led the people to dig the river channels, dredge the blockages, kill the evil spirits, and let the flood surge to the sea!
When ten days passed and the Earth was scorched, no immortals or Buddhas came out to stop the disaster.
It was Hou Yi who shot the sun with his bow, exterminating the evil and returning peace to the world!
This was already the case in the myth, let alone reality?
Therefore, the proud Ling Ping’an would not entrust himself to the immortals or Buddhas even if he was a fool.
He only trusted himself!
Just like the education he had received, only the people could write history!
And he was a part of the people!
He raised the jade seal high up, “Live on forever!”
Meow!
His pet gave him a lot of face and immediately supported him.
Ling Ping’an laughed out loud, “I confer you the title of…”
“Mm…”
“Great general of rat extermination!”
“Hahahahahaha…”
Meow!
The kitten was very happy to accept his conferment!
