It is a warm and humid spring now, and it has been raining for the past few days. The corpse has been displayed in front of the city gate for three days, and passers-by have to pinch their noses. Although the grudge is relieved, if it continues to be left like this, it will drip with yellow water and cause epidemic diseases.
.
Many civilians snatched the bloody flag and threatened to keep it, but in the end it was taken away by the officials.
The bandits who were hated by everyone were not qualified to be buried, so the servants simply threw them into mass graves on the outskirts of the city to feed wild dogs.
The gray hat then went to the mass grave and inspected the bodies despite the stench.
A layman only looks at the excitement, but an expert has to look at the door. Judging from the bruises on the neck, the bandit leader and seven or eight other people were indeed hanged alive, and the others were hanged after death. There are no shortage of wounds on their bodies.
Some were caused by blunt objects, some were caused by sharp objects, and a few had their arms and legs broken directly, making it look like they were using bare hands.
The bandit's opponent is indeed a whole team, well-trained, well-equipped, fierce in combat skills, and all of them are skilled workers.
After the inspection, he rode back.
After walking nearly a hundred miles, he rushed to a temple.
This temple is much more majestic and spacious than the small temples in Puyin and Shinan. The statues in the temple even have golden bodies.
As soon as Gray Hat entered, Miao Zhu came out and closed the door and windows for him.
Afterwards, Gray Hat lit up incense candles, knelt in front of the statue and prayed in a low voice: "My God, a new force has appeared near Feng County, and the entire group of Daishan bandits have been taken away, and their corpses were hung for public display..."
Listen carefully, he will tell you everything about Feng County.
It was very quiet inside the temple, except for the low and earnest voice of the gray hat.
But when he came to the "dragon head relief", there was a soft pop, the candle on the table turned silently, and the gray hat quickly kowtowed.
After he finished speaking, everything returned to normal. Amidst the smoke, the face of the statue looked particularly solemn.

Before sunrise, Tianxin Island, Paiyun Palace, Lingxu City.
This is the highest point of Lingxiao Palace, and also the highest point of the entire Lingxu City—except for the Star-Zhaing Tower of Tiangong.
When Lord Duyun ascended the Paiyun Hall, he saw flowing clouds and mist passing through the hall, as if they were in the sky.
There were only two ever-burning lamps and two attendants in the palace.
Directly in front of the pillar is a large pillar with five people hugging each other. There is a curved figure surrounding the pillar, as motionless as a sculpture.
But its breathing was extremely long. Every time it inhaled, a strong wind blew in the palace, sending white clouds into its mouth. Every time it exhaled, thick white smoke emitted from its mouth and nose, which was spectacular.
This is how the whole hall was covered with clouds and fog.
This is called swallowing clouds and spitting out mist, which is the emperor's unique magical power to collect spiritual energy.
Commander Du Yun stopped.
The scenery here is unique, overlooking most of Lingxu Lower City and several other floating islands.
No matter who stands here, there will be a pride in his heart that looks down upon the world.
Of course, Lord Duyun was already used to this scene, as the location of Tiangong was higher than Tianxin Island.
After a long time, a low voice came from the pillar, like thunder rolling:
"Why did the envoy have time to come to Paiyun Hall?"
"Emperor." Commander Du Yun took a step forward and looked up at the green dragon on the pillar, "I carry the divine decree and come for the nightmare energy."
"Is it for the Nightmare Qi again?" The Demon Emperor snorted, "When I went back to the Heavenly Palace, I told Holy Lord Lingxu that the war against Mou State should be gradual and not expand rashly! The Nightmare Qi is not enough, we have already Try it elsewhere."
These greedy gods actually said that Bega’s contribution to the Eastern Front was not as good as that of the small Kite Kingdom next to it!
Recently, the emperor's ooze has been frequent, and in comparison, Tianluo Star has taken in less nightmare energy. It is rising and disappearing, and the gods are very dissatisfied, and have been urging Bejia to "do something".
Oh, I can't bring order to the divine world, but I blame the lower world for not doing enough. The Demon Emperor is naturally not happy either.
Envoy Duyun asked: "What other places do you mean?"
"Don't you know very well?" The Demon Emperor said lightly, "I even sent Qingyang to the Shining Gold Plains!"
"The strange thing is here." Lord Du Yun pressed his palms together, "In the past three or four months, the Flash Gold Plains has still been in constant war, but in several of the major wars, Tianluo Star has absorbed almost no nightmare energy."
The Demon Emperor was a little surprised at this: "Didn't you absorb the nightmare energy? Is it because there are too many Dragon Punishment Pillars nearby?"
"The Dragon Punishment Pillar can only intercept a small part of the Nightmare Qi, and cannot intercept it all in a large area." Chief Du Yun said solemnly, "From the destruction of the country of Wei to the melee in the central and western parts of Flash Gold, the gods have repeatedly verified , those few wars were almost fruitless.”
People will die in war, and dead people will have nightmare energy, but Tianluo Star has no corresponding income.
Where did the nightmare energy go?
The Demon Emperor pondered: "Has this happened before?"
"Yes." Commander Du Yun said word by word, "Panlong City, Yuan Kingdom!"
As soon as these three words came out, both sides fell silent.
The temperature in Paiyun Hall seemed to have suddenly dropped several degrees.
"Panlong City?" The Demon Emperor chewed on this name that he had not mentioned for a long time.
This past is a thorn in the hearts of Bejia and Tianshen.
"The last few battles to annihilate the Yuan Kingdom and Panlong City were so intense that Tianluo Star did not receive a single bit of nightmare energy." Chief Du Yun said in a deep voice, "The past has reappeared. This is not a good sign."
"Perhaps it's just a coincidence. The war in Flash Gold is not intense and the harvest is small." The so-called "war" on the Flash Gold Plain is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Demon Emperor. The secret of the Nightmare Qi in that place lies in the war. There are so many, endless.
Occasionally, there were a few battles where the demon emperor couldn't absorb the nightmare energy, so he didn't even bother to use his brain.
But God took it very seriously.
This also reflects from the side that the demand for nightmare energy in the divine world has reached an extremely high level, and even a piece of meat as small as a mosquito leg has to be considered.
The Demon Emperor was just thinking about it in his mind when Commander Du Yun said: "God Miao Zhan insists."
He carried out the will of the Righteous God, and the Demon Emperor exhaled, and the clouds and mist in the hall became thicker.
"Do the gods think that the lack of nightmare energy in the Shining Gold Plains is related to the large square pot?"
“Worth checking.”
The Demon Emperor was silent.
The stolen large square pot lid, the burned Star Picking Tower, the torch that betrayed the Heavenly Palace, and the huge losses suffered by Lingxu City that night.
These events, taken together, are really not pleasant memories.
The most ridiculous thing is that the real culprit has not yet been apprehended.
"One more thing." Chief Du Yun said again, "According to the prayers of the believers of the gods, dragon-headed totems appeared in several places in the Shining Gold Plains, but they only lasted for two or three days before disappearing."
"Dragon head totem?" The demon emperor lowered his giant head, and these words finally attracted its attention! It is a dragon itself, and is particularly keen on this term, "What happened there?"
"There are small-scale battles, a black cavalry appears, and then the dragon head totem will appear on the door wall in this area."
