Chapter 47 The Black God Zhong Kui
If netizens watching on their phones reacted this way, it goes without saying that Gu Fan and Shen Shuang, who were there in person, must have reacted similarly.
Lin Batian had seen this many times before, so he was immune to it and didn't feel anything.
Gu Fan was mentally prepared because he had already guessed which deity it was.
In addition, he had just examined it with his discerning eyes, so it was still acceptable to him.
As for Shen Shuang, she really can't do it anymore!
She kept her eyes tightly shut, covered her mouth, her face was pale, and her hand holding the phone was limp; she was clearly terrified.
Su Fan was both amused and exasperated. He could only take the phone from her and find a suitable spot to hold it in place with a stand.
Looking at the barrage of comments on his phone screen, Su Fan had anticipated this outcome.
It's no wonder they thought that way; the deity was simply too ugly.
The deity had one large eye and one small eye, an iron face with a bushy beard, a hooked nose, and bell-shaped ears; its face was indistinct.
Even more terrifying is that he has shrugged shoulders, a protruding belly, a hunched back, a protruding buttocks, and short, swollen legs.
It is extremely ugly; a normal person would be frightened if they saw it.
The deity held two divine implements: a cinnabar brush and a bundle of rope.
Su Fan thought for a moment and said, "Don't be fooled by the appearance of this god statue."
"Although He is ugly, He is not an evil god. Without Him, China might become even more turbulent and unstable."
Netizens were surprised and somewhat skeptical upon hearing this.
"Really? The streamer isn't lying to us?"
Su Fan said calmly, "Why would I lie to you? You'll know once I awaken Him."
After Su Fan finished speaking, he took a deep breath, picked up his cane, and turned to Lin Batian, saying:
"Patriarch Lin, I'll begin then!"
After Su Fan finished speaking, he began to draw a magic circle on the ground with his cane. A complex and mysterious magic circle gradually took shape under his drawing.
"No way? The streamer can even draw arrays?"
"Why does this formation look so complicated? Are there any experts who can explain it to the viewers in the live stream?"
"Upstairs, I am a master of Chinese formations, but I don't recognize the formation the streamer drew."
"666, the streamer is just too versatile..."
Netizens were amazed to see that the streamer could also draw formations.
This was a summoning array that Su Fan learned from ancient Chinese texts in his previous life, and he never expected to use it in this life.
Lin Batian watched Su Fan draw the array from the side, not daring to breathe too loudly, for fear of disturbing him.
After a long time, the summoning array was finally completed. Su Fan wiped the sweat from his face, his complexion was a little pale, and his body swayed.
Shen Shuang, who had already recovered, rushed over when she saw Su Fan's condition and caught him before he fell.
The spiritual energy and effort required to inscribe the magic array are enormous, and even Su Fan, who is now at the low level of the second tier, is finding it somewhat overwhelming.
Lin Batian asked with concern, "Young Su, are you alright?"
Su Fan shook his head: "It's okay, just let me rest for a while."
Amidst a barrage of envious and jealous comments from numerous netizens, Su Fan lay in Shen Shuang's arms, inhaling the alluring fragrance, and slowly regained his energy.
Shen Shuang's face flushed slightly. With so many people watching, even though it was through a screen, she still felt shy.
After a short while of indulging in the gentle embrace of love, Su Fan reluctantly got up.
There's no way around it, I still have important business to attend to!
Su Fan moved the animal carcass to the statue of the god and placed it in front of it. Then he lit nine incense sticks, spaced evenly, and arranged them around the statue.
Nine is the extreme number, and also a yin number!
Su Fan turned to Lin Batian: "Patriarch Lin, you can bring the Frost Ice over now."
Lin Batian hurriedly gave orders to his men, and soon an armed helicopter hovered in the air, dropping a large bucket of ice.
Lin Batian said, "This is ice from nearby Wangyue Mountain, absolutely freshly made!"
The netizens on the other side of the phone screen were already dumbfounded.
"Is that an armed helicopter?!?"
"Damn! This is outrageous! They actually used a military helicopter to transport a few blocks of ice!"
"Is this the strength of the Langya Lin Clan? I underestimated them!"
The chat was buzzing, but Su Fan's side was rather serious.
This was Su Fan's first time using a summoning array to awaken a god, so he couldn't help but be serious and attentive!
Su Fan took the bucket of ice that Lin Batian handed him, smashed it, and poured it at the feet of the god statue to keep it cold.
After completing this step, only the final and most crucial step remains: chanting the incantation to awaken the gods.
Su Fan picked up the bell and looked at Lin Batian: "You understand the process?"
Lin Batian nodded, his expression serious: "Understood!"
Su Fan stopped talking, took a deep breath, and then shook the bell three times.
"Clang~ Clang~ Clang~~"
After three sounds, Su Fan slowly spoke:
"Red ink judges good and evil, iron pen severs yin and yang!"
Lin Batian repeated after him, word by word:
"Red ink judges good and evil..."
After Lin Batian finished reading, Su Fan continued.
"A rope to bind ghosts, binding the path across the three realms!"
After Lin Batian finished reciting, Su Fan shook the bell five times and nine times respectively.
"The top scholar receives the crown, and the Emperor bestows upon him a loyal heart!"
"The arrival of the bat signifies good fortune; the emergence of the rope terrifies ghosts!"
"By invoking this incantation, evil spirits will vanish into dust!"
"We humbly beseech Celestial Master Zhong, whose righteous spirit pervades the netherworld!"
Lin Batian read each word carefully and attentively along with Su Fan.
Then, Su Fan gave him a wink.
Lin Batian understood immediately, bowed three times devoutly, then took out the Summoning Stone from his pocket and pressed it against the statue of the deity.
"Junior Lin Batian respectfully welcomes Judge Wen—"
"Zhong Kui!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the statue of Zhong Kui burst forth with light.
"Click—click—"
Immediately afterwards, the bronze fragments covering the statue of the god began to peel off layer by layer.
A cold, dark wind suddenly swept through the back garden, and everyone felt a chill.
Then, a beam of black light flew out from the Zhong Kui statue and rose into the air.
The black light dissipated, revealing Zhong Kui!
Zhong Kui spoke loudly: "The Ghost Clan of China! Judge of the Civil Court, Zhong Kui!"
The sound resounded throughout half of China; this was an SSS-level deity!
"Holy crap! Another Chinese deity from another race, and it seems to be an SSS-level deity at that?"
"Immortals, humans, demons, and now ghosts—how many races are there among the gods of China?"
"Another SSS-level god! How can you not be shocked?"
"In just a few days, the streamer has already awakened several SSS-level gods. I'm numb to it."
"I agree with the comment above; I feel the same way. Awakening an SSS-level deity? I actually felt it was only natural, considering that China didn't even have a single SSS-level deity before!"
The comments section was buzzing with excitement, and everyone was very enthusiastic.
Zhong Kui picked up the judge's pen and wrote the character "封" (seal) in the air.
The character "封" (seal) took shape and shot towards Lin Batian, who was immediately terrified and turned pale.
