Chapter 118 The Reason For The War Between Gods
It was the time-honored mutton soup shop yesterday. After entering the shop, Li Yanfu asked for a small room in the attic. The clerk immediately understood that the two had important matters to discuss, and quickly led the way forward, leading the two to the third floor.
When he got to the third floor, Fu Han discovered that there was only one small room in the attic, and the wooden stairs creaked when someone walked up. It was really suitable for confidential conversations.
A rough guy like Meng Yeluo would be quite full just by drinking the warm mutton soup. If you encounter some "good ingredients" in the soup, you will be happy for a long time.
As for Li Yanfu, a bachelor with a noble background, he was particularly particular about his meals. When ordering, the requests for the dishes popped out of my mouth one by one.
Fu Han, the host, didn't mind either and wanted to see what Li Yanfu's particular way of eating was.
Mutton soup is still a must-have, but Li Yanfu specifically told the waiter to add more fresh mint and a little mutton and haggis, and mainly drink the soup.
Then he ordered two more charcoal-grilled tender lamb chops, and warned not to smear the lamb chops with spices, just add them appropriately.
The waiter understood and said: "I understand, local method."
Li Yanfu nodded and ordered a few more side dishes: cold mutton slices, fried mushroom slices, cold and spicy bamboo shoots, etc...
When the guy was about to leave, he added: "A bottle of Baigan wine!"
"Okay!" The waiter responded and went downstairs.
Taking advantage of the time before serving the food, Fu Han asked his questions about Yuechi Peak.
Li Yanfu held his forehead and said, "No, no, I drank too much last night and I can't think of anything at the moment."
Fu Han frowned and asked, "Then you want some wine?"
Li Yanfu smiled enigmatically and said: "After a hangover, of course you have to drink some wine to recover. That's the wine to sober up..."
Han didn't understand the reason and frowned.
Li Yanfu said with a smile: "Brother Fu, don't be anxious. Once my wine enters your throat, you will naturally remember what you want to know. Although I, Li Yanfu, am a little down and out, borrowing money on credit is common, but I can't default on my debts." I have never admitted it. Think about it...if I often default on my bills, these stores will not be afraid of me like a snake or scorpion when they see me?"
This is indeed the case.

From Beauty God's Secret to the Mutton Soup Shop, Li Yanfu walked an open road. On the way, he also met many people who were familiar with him. These people were very polite to Li Yanfu and could even be said to be respectful.
It can be seen that this down-and-out nobleman does have a good reputation in the town.
Besides, this is the kingdom of death, and there is no such thing as "relying on the old and selling off the old". In the eyes of the priest, all living people are young. No matter who owes a debt and refuses to repay it, he can work as a bone slave to pay off the debt.
As a result, Fu Han's brows also relaxed. I also started to feel a little curious. This old bachelor seemed to be reliable, so how did he become such a miserable person?
…
There are many customers in the mutton soup shop, but the food is served very quickly, and all the dishes are served in a moment.
Just smelling the aroma of the dishes makes Fu Han move his index fingers. After tasting a little, Fu Han had to sigh that Li Yanfu really knew how to eat. The only problem was that these things were too little for Han.
So Fu Han called the waiter again, under Li Yanfu's guidance. Ordered a roasted lamb leg and a bowl of assorted fried rice.
After a while, a big basin of fried rice was brought out first. Fu Han picked up the spoon and ate one bite at a time, steadily and quickly.
Seeing Fu Han's elegant display of food, Li Yanfu laughed sincerely: "I was also famous for being a big eater when I was young, but compared to you, I'm far behind."
Fu Han also blushed and said, "I made you laugh."
Li Yanfu shook his head and said: "It's not shameful. If you can eat, you have strength. If you were in the hall downstairs, others would cheer for you."
Fu Han nodded and said with a smile, "I've seen this before."
Li Yanfu squinted at Fu Han for a while, and then asked, "You don't seem to be from here..."
"Well, I'm here for a study tour."
"Study tour... I also liked to travel around when I was young." At this point, Li Yanfu drank the remaining wine in the wine cup, and then refilled the wine cup.
"Let me guess...are you a devotee of the Hidden God?"
Fu Han was stunned for a moment and sighed inwardly: Am I so like a follower of the Hidden God? Can anyone see it?
But if he wanted to deny it, Fu Han didn't know what to say, so he nodded calmly.
"Sure enough..." Li Yanfu picked up a piece of cold mutton slices, and then asked: "So are you a secret-keeper or an informer?"
Fu Han had never heard of the "secret-keeping sect" or "informant sect", so he could only quickly ask Qi Qilu for help in his heart.
Qi Qilu was stunned and asked: "You don't even know this, and you still think about pretending to be a secret believer every day?"
Fu Han felt aggrieved and said in his heart: "I have never pretended to be the conscience of heaven and earth. It was all their own guesses."
Qiqilu sighed, and then explained to Fu Han the two factions of the secret sect, the "secret-keeping faction" and the "informant faction".
The two factions within the Secret Church seem to be in conflict, but in fact they are just directors with different functions. The two are not hostile and cooperate quite closely.
The so-called informant faction is the secret agent faction. Spies gain power by telling secrets to the mysterious book. Fu Han has done this himself and is familiar with it.
The secret-keeping sect is responsible for other responsibilities in the sect, such as managing the informant temple, worshiping the hidden god, etc. Secrecy sects rely on keeping secrets to strengthen their spiritual power, and they are also the actual managers of the sect.
But... what will happen if the secret-keeping faction suddenly informs? What will happen if the whistle-blowers lie and claim to be secret-keepers? Fu Han didn't have time to delve into these two questions because Li Yanfu had been waiting quietly for a long time.
"What? Can't you tell me?" Li Yanfu picked up the food casually and said, "But I think you seem to be a secret-keeper. An informant will not be spotted so easily."
Fu Han nodded noncommittally.
Li Yanfu added: "If you are an informant, there is no point in coming to me. After all, the things I know have been exchanged for money in the informant temple."
Then Li Yanfu took another sip of wine and said: "Look, I just said that you can remember some things after drinking wine... No matter you are the whistleblower or the secretkeeper, what I want to say later, I will tell you when you get out." I don’t admit it… I hope you won’t ask me a second time.”
Fu Han's face straightened and he nodded seriously.
"Talking while eating..." As he spoke, Li Yanfu dipped his finger into a little tea and roughly drew a map of the Kingdom of Death on the table. He explained while drawing: "Look...this is the misty forest...this is Hui Burial City. This side is the Jingshan Forest...and this side is the mining area...what does this outline look like?"
Fu Han tilted his head and looked at it, sighing: "The moon!?"
"Yes, the moon." As he spoke, Li Yanfu traced the water-stained map with his finger and said, "Do you remember the ancient soul land here? There used to be a city in the middle."
"Remember, you said it was destroyed due to the battle, but you didn't explain the reason for the battle."
Li Yanfu sighed: "That's a war among the gods. What else could it be for? It's to compete for the power of the gods!"
Fu Han was stunned for a moment and realized that his two gold coins seemed to be well spent.
In the class at Chasing Star Academy, the root cause of the war between the old gods was explained as the competition for land, resources, and believers.
Unexpectedly, the real reason is to compete for power!
And in the Southern Continent, it is even more outrageous for someone to say it in such an understatement!
But Fu Han believed Li Yanfu without the slightest doubt. The battle between gods must be for power! In Fu Han's opinion, this is reasonable!
It's just... no wonder he, Li Yanfu, is in despair. He dares to say such shocking words. If you are not in despair, who will be in despair?
