Chapter 328: Demons and gods are not to be feared, but the human heart is the most sinister [Please vote]
While Chu Chen and Long Nu were enjoying tea and talking about Taoism, a huge wave arose in the underground world of Yunlin County.
The Yunwu Ghost City is not unique to one force, but the demonic forces around Yunlin participate together, working together to exploit and plunder the people of the county, and share the feast.
A Yunwu Ghost City stronghold was inexplicably and suddenly destroyed by a mysterious monk, which caused a sensation in the entire Yunlin underground world. Countless cows, ghosts, and snakes were in danger, and everyone was in danger.
Yunwu Shuifu.
Empress Yunzhi was practicing in seclusion, subduing her Qi and refining her spirit. Suddenly, soldiers and crab generals came to report in a hurry and disturbed her spiritual practice.
Astonishingly, it was a group of Yunlin ghosts and gods seeking to see him.
They are secretive and only send incarnations, no one shows their real body to others.
Lady Yunzhi was surprised when she saw the posture of the ghosts and gods.
"What happened? Why are you so panicked?"
Some ghosts and gods hurriedly reported:
"Mother, something bad has happened. A stronghold in the Yunwu Black Market was taken over by a mysterious monk today."
Empress Yunzhi frowned and said displeasedly:
"It's no big deal if it's done. Could it be that you were involved? If you were, why would you come to me? Once the matter is exposed, no one can protect you."
All the ghosts and gods hurriedly shook their heads and waved their hands. The city god was sincere and hurriedly explained.
"Empress~ We didn't participate. Even if you give us ten courages, we wouldn't dare to participate!"
"Yes, yes, the little god swears to God that I was not involved in it. Hooking up with demons is a major crime that involves disembodiment and death. How dare we do that?"
"If we were involved, how could we dare to come and beg you..."
...
All the ghosts and gods swore to each other one after another and broke off their relationship one by one.
Lady Yunzhi looked around and saw that the words and deeds of all the ghosts and gods did not seem to be hypocritical. She understood in her heart and said:
"So, you bought Shengmin incense as an offering?"
All the ghosts and gods smiled and acquiesced.
Empress Yunzhi looked at all the ghosts and gods angrily and said:
"You have crossed the line. Once found out, the Immortal Court will not forgive you lightly."
The faces of all the ghosts and gods turned pale, and they were worried and defended in low voices.
"Empress, we didn't have direct contact with them, but pretended to be incarnations. It should be... okay..."
Empress Yunzhi shook her head and said disdainfully:
"The biggest devil in people's hearts is luck. You think you can get away without contacting the devil. Paper cannot contain the fire. The sky is vast and there are no leaks. You are too greedy."
When the ghosts and gods heard this, their eyes were full of fear and worry.
"Your Majesty, we always respect you a lot and make offerings to you every year. You can't ignore us."
All the ghosts and gods were anxious.
Empress Yunzhi snorted coldly and said: "I am not unloyal. A few days ago, the new county governor took office. I stepped forward to suppress the Chu governor for you. Then, in order to win over him, I even gave him a daughter. I
The palace has already done its utmost to be benevolent and righteous."
"this..."
All the ghosts and gods wanted to speak but stopped.
Seeing the complicated colors in the eyes of all the ghosts and gods, Lady Yunzhi said with complicated eyes:
"Hey, I can only blame you for discovering it too late and indulging you. If you are in trouble, I will have to suffer. No matter what, I will try my best to mediate for you."
"Thank you so much for your kindness!"
Seeing that Lady Yunzhi did not let go, all the ghosts and gods breathed a sigh of relief.
They did not have any direct connection with the demons, but only bought some incense of unknown origin to offer as offerings. They were suspected of "selling stolen goods" for the demons. This crime left a lot of room for mediation.
If there is a fifth-grade god who speaks for them and smooths the relationship.
Even if something happens in the future, they can take it lightly.
Empress Yunzhi glanced at everyone with a rather disgusted expression and asked impatiently:
"I am in retreat today and don't know anything about this matter? Who destroyed the Black Mist Ghost City? Have you received the news?"
Some ghosts and gods quickly said:
Valley reclamation
"Reporting to your Majesty, the little god has inquired about it. There was a fierce battle in the dense forest outside a stronghold. All the monsters and monsters in the market disappeared, as if they had been wiped away by the strong. Only ordinary people escaped."
"According to the people who escaped, they met an old immortal who was a chivalrous and righteous man who performed justice for heaven."
"Some people saw this old man-looking monk talking to the head of the stronghold. It is said that that person was not an immortal official from the Immortal Courtyard, but a wandering monk who came from Youzhou and accidentally bumped into the Black Mist Ghost City. They acted heroically and wiped them out."
...
Some ghosts and gods will report the news to Empress Yunzhi.
Empress Yunzhi pondered for a while and said:
"Is the news reliable?"
A ghost and god said: "Mother, it's reliable. The little god cast the spell himself and communicated with a common person in his dream. He saw it with his own eyes. The little god dares to vouch for it. He was not deceived by others. Everything was seen with his own eyes."
Empress Yunzhi nodded slightly:
"Since it was not the immortal officials of the Immortal Court who took action, you can breathe a sigh of relief. The demon is treacherous and works closely. A stronghold has been swept away. I don't think too much information will be revealed."
"Oh, I hope so!"
All the ghosts and gods were melancholy and sighing, not showing any signs of relief, as if there were divine generals hanging above their heads, ready to be chopped off at any moment.
Madam Yunzhi guessed the thoughts of all the ghosts and gods, shook her head, and didn't try to persuade her.
Feeling blessed, Lady Yunzhi thought of the newly appointed county governor and asked:
"What is that Chu Duguan doing these days?"
"I would like to inform you that the Governor of Chu has been staying in Yunlin City for the past few days. He only appears in his residence and the Governor's study. He lives in seclusion and does not do much. He has attracted a lot of criticism from the County Ghost and God Department."
"No, this Chu Du Guan went out on inspection today, and I don't know where he went to work..."
"In my opinion, this Chu Du Guan is just an ascetic cultivator and is not good at governing the place. Thanks to our nervousness before..."
...
After a while, all the ghosts and gods left one after another.
In the Shuifu Palace, Lady Yunzhi frowned and fell into deep thought.
This is too coincidental.
On weekdays, nothing happened in Yunwu Ghost City, but as soon as the Chu Duguan left the city, something happened immediately.
I don't know if it's a coincidence.
Thinking of this, Lady Yunzhi put her hand deep into her sleeve, took out a colorful shell, put it to her mouth, and spoke with her spiritual consciousness:
"Recall immediately!"
"Recall quickly after hearing about it"
After half a stick of incense.
Lady Yunzhi was playing with the shells in her hands, her expression solemn.
"Why can't I contact you..."
...
Not long after, Chu Chen arrived at Yunlin County and went straight into the Du Guan's study room.
Yun and Lin, the two deputy directors, came to ask for instructions respectfully as usual.
The two of them worked conscientiously and managed all the affairs of the Ghosts and Gods Department in an orderly manner, and did not show any abnormality.
Chu Chen couldn't find anything wrong with it.
Qingquan Sanren also came to Du Guan's study to ask for instructions. However, he did not mention much about the affairs in the Ghosts and Gods Department, but asked:
"Guardian Chu, will you gain anything from your inspection today?"
Chu Chen nodded slightly:
"The harvest was very fruitful. The governor of Yunlin County vaguely found out the fortune of the country. The minds of the people were weakened. They didn't know it. They were shocked when they saw it. Lending became common among the people everywhere. Every rich and powerful person with some wealth would lend money and exploit them.
The common people, the destiny of the country, and the power of all the people’s thoughts are not weakened.”
Qingquan Sanren was startled and overjoyed:
"Guan Chudu has a keen eye and is able to discern every detail. He is worthy of being a young leader sent from above. I have misunderstood you. It turns out that you have not been idle these days."
"In charge of the capital, the poor Taoist reported the Yun and Lin families. They are the source of trouble in Yunlin County. The loan-lending trend started from these two families. The local strongmen who are both from the same human race exploit and plunder the people, and they are often more powerful than the demons and gods."
"In view of the poor, we should use thunderous means to plow the court and clear out the holes, vigorously suppress and punish, in order to rectify the world and return the world to a clear and bright place!"
