In the southernmost part of the county, there is a pagoda that has been built for almost a hundred years. Because it is often cleaned, it is quite clean and tidy. Although Nanyue Kingdom can be regarded as the private land of Qingyang Temple, Qingyang Temple does not exclude Buddhism, so
Even though it is less than 200 miles away from Wu'an County, the Buddhist temple is still prosperous and has not been affected at all.
At this moment, about ten feet in the air above the pagoda, Wu Jie turned the ghost ring into a transparent disc to support his body. He sat in the air and read a book while paying attention to the situation in the county government in the distance.
In the clerk's room of the county government office, a gray-haired old official looked at the young man in white who suddenly appeared in front of him with surprise and uncertainty, feeling both scared and puzzled.
This young man arrived very suddenly, without any warning, and he was like a legendary god. But his eyes were so deep, and there was a hint of ridicule and resentment in his eyes, which made the slippery old official not worried or afraid.
"I haven't seen you for twenty-five years. It seems like you're not doing too well." Yi Ti said with a faint smile, "I originally thought that a talent like you should have been successful long ago, or at least become rich.
But I didn't expect that you are still working as a subordinate... In the past few decades, you seem to have made no progress."
"Twenty-five years?" The old official was stunned and tried to remember.
He was not too old and his brain was still very good, so it only took a short time to dig out a memory from the depths of his mind.
And a figure that had long been blurred deep in the memory gradually became clear with the recollection, and gradually overlapped with the appearance of the immortal in front of him.
Then, he let out a hoarse scream, jumped out of the chair, knelt down in front of Yi Ti, and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Yi Erlang??Yi Jinshi?!Uncle Yi"
The old official screamed extremely miserably, as if he owed a large gambling debt and was blocked in an alley by the creditor and his thugs, and made it clear that he would give up his life for no money... But while he was screaming, he was looking at him furtively.
On the ground, I wanted to see Yi Ti’s shadow.
According to his impression, Yi Erlang should have died twenty-five years ago!
It is late afternoon, the hottest time in summer. The scorching sun hangs high in the sky, casting endless light and heat down on the nearby houses, trees and stones in the courtyard, everything
The shadows are very clear.
...Only one person is missing!
Yi Ti was clearly standing in front of him, but his shadow could not be seen on the ground at all. He could only be seen standing in the sunlight shining in from outside the door. His feet were bright. Not only could he not see any shadow, he was not even a little blurry.
No, it was as if his whole body was transparent, and as if there was nothing there.
"Ghost! Ghost!"
The old official was so frightened that he lost his mind - according to folk legends about ghosts, all kinds of evil spirits are afraid of the sun. If an evil ghost is not even afraid of the sun...
His body suddenly began to tremble violently, and his teeth chattered uncontrollably. His whole body seemed to have turned into a sieve, shaking and shaking. His face was like flour sifted out of the sieve, so white that no trace of blood could be seen.
.
Yi Ti smiled coldly, waved his sleeves, and the old official sat back on the chair, exactly the same as before.
"I came here to ask you something." He sat down slowly, even though there was no chair under him, but he sat firmly, even more upright than the trembling old official, "I hope
You'd better answer seriously, of course, maybe there's nothing I can do if you don't answer. Haha, you can try."
The old official's teeth were chattering, and he wanted to quickly ensure that he would answer all questions honestly, but he could only hear a chattering sound and could not even utter a complete word.
Yi Ti frowned and waved his sleeves again. He could only hear the cold wind blowing, and the air in the room suddenly cooled down. The old official was stimulated by this chill, and the trembling of his body suddenly eased a little, and he was finally able to speak.
Yi Ti nodded, smiled, and asked kindly: "You were the one who broke into my house in the middle of the night with a group of masked men, burned the evidence I collected, and broke my right hand, right?"
The old official's body began to tremble involuntarily, and his head kept shaking. He wanted to nod, but couldn't.
Yi Ti didn't care whether he admitted it or not, and continued to ask: "You were just the steward of the county's grain depot at the time. Normally, you shouldn't have the guts to attack the eighth-grade transshipment director. Even if I had been impeached at that time, after all
You haven't been dismissed yet. If there is no one behind you to support you, you will never dare to do that, right?"
The old official's teeth kept chattering, and his face was so pale that he looked almost dead.
Yi Ti frowned, flicked his fingers, and a reddish pill fell into the old man's mouth. In an instant, it turned into a spicy and slightly fragrant liquid and flowed into his stomach.
After this liquid entered his stomach, the old man suddenly felt a little more energetic. His body stopped shaking, his teeth stopped chattering, and his face became rosy again.
But in his heart, he became more and more afraid that Yi Erlang had such great abilities, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to die later!
"Okay, tell me honestly, who is instigating you behind the scenes?"
Yi Ti's face gradually darkened, and there was a chill in his eyes, which made the old official feel even colder in his heart.
He didn't dare to hide anything and hurriedly told everything he knew.
After he finished everything, Yi Ti sighed, stood up and waved his sleeves. The old official lay on the table and fell asleep, while Yi Ti's figure gradually faded away.
A moment later, he appeared next to the ring made by Wu Jie using the ghost ring.
"Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me! Otherwise, I'm afraid that guy would be scared to death by me."
"You're welcome. Do you know what happened?"
"It's exactly what you said, senior brother. I blocked other people's financial paths, so they wanted to kill me - but they didn't have enough communication with each other, so some people wanted to take official positions.
Some people took the path of the underworld." Yi Ti said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect that I would be so angry that people, even several officials who have always been contradictory, joined forces to deal with me."
"Now that you know it, what are you going to do next?"
"Find out everything, and then go the way of the imperial court and carry out a major rectification of Yanling County's officialdom." Yi Ti said without thinking, "This is what I wanted to do but couldn't do it back then, but I can definitely do it now.
!”
Wu Jie nodded, he did not doubt Yi Ti's ability. With the magical power of the Gang Feixian, it was easy to rectify the administration of a mere Yanling County!
Refining Gang Feixian is already a national master level figure in most countries in the Kyushu Realm, and even the national masters of one or two countries may not have this level. At this moment, Yi Ti only needs to go to the capital of Nanyue Kingdom to meet the Nanyue Emperor.
, you can immediately obtain the status of National Master.
In order to please him, just a few officials in Yanling County... let alone rectifying the officialdom, which was of great benefit to the country, even if Yi Ti said that he did not like these officials and wanted to kill them, I am afraid that the South Vietnamese Emperor would
Thumbs up in approval.
Yi Ti alone is actually enough for this matter, but Yi Ti is not very relieved, and specially invites Wu Jie to help - he does not need Wu Jie to help him deal with anyone, he just hopes that his senior brother will fill in the gaps for him
, point out in time when you have overlooked something.
For example, just now, if Wu Jie hadn't reminded him in time, the old official would have been scared to death.
Moreover, what Yi Ti did this time may not be big, but it is not small. It is somewhat taboo for immortals to interfere in human affairs. He asked Wu Jie to monitor him. The more important reason was that he wanted Wu Jie to be a good person.
witness.
This matter in Yanling County is not an ordinary human matter, but the grudges Yi Ti himself forged in the world back then. He took action to settle his grudges in the past, and no one can say that he did anything wrong!
Wu Jie naturally understood what Yi Ti meant. He was happy to be a witness for his junior brother, and he also made up his mind - if there was any blind guy who wanted to cause trouble, he would take action before Yi Ti found out.
That kind of bastard who doesn't know right from wrong should be beaten up and then kicked into the Dachi River!
Yi Ti sorted out the information he had just received, and then set off again, flying towards the county government office.
The grain depot supervisor who had plotted against him at the beginning was promoted soon after. Twenty-five years later, he had been promoted from the ninth-grade warehouse supervisor to the seventh-grade county magistrate, and his official career was quite smooth.
But... now that Yi Ti is back, his official career has come to an end!
After a while, Yi Ti found the county magistrate in a flower hall in the inner hall.
The county magistrate is now almost fifty years old. He has obviously lived a good life these years. He is quite blessed with a fat belly, a thick double chin, and his neck is almost invisible.
The climate in South Vietnam is hot, and it is summer now, and the weather is even more unbearable. The county magistrate is naturally very hot. But as a county magistrate, he naturally has a good way to escape the heat - on the roof of the flower hall,
There are several large horizontal fan blades. The fan blades are made of cloth.
, there is constant flow of water from the middle rotating shaft part, moistening the fan blades, and then a carefully designed water wheel next to it drives the fan blades to rotate slowly, blowing the moist cool wind down from the top of the head, to the fat county.
Ling Laoye has brought coolness that ordinary people will never enjoy.
"This guy really knows how to enjoy it..." Yi Ti smiled coldly and held a spell in his hand. The wind blowing from the fan blades suddenly became much colder. It suddenly turned from a cool breeze to a cold wind, making it so cold just now.
The county magistrate, who was lying on the recliner, groaning and enjoying the coolness, turned over and jumped up, shouting, "I'm freezing to death."
"It's weird! It's weird! Our Kingdom of Dayue is located in the south, and it's midsummer now. How can there be such a cold wind!" The county magistrate seems to have read a lot of books in these years, and he was quite polite when he spoke.
.
Yi Ti ignored him and activated the spell in his hand. The wind blowing from the fan blades suddenly became stronger and colder. Because of the cold, the water vapor in the flower hall separated and turned into a white mist.
The fog made the county magistrate, who was wearing thin clothes, couldn't help but shiver.
"What a ghost!" the county magistrate muttered, and hurriedly walked outside the flower hall, intending to bask in the sun and dispel the coldness in his heart.
But he had only taken two steps when he bumped into an invisible barrier. He was dizzy and his nose was extremely sore. When he touched it with his hand, he saw only a bright red color, but his nose was bruised and leaked.
Come blood.
"What's going on!" The county magistrate was shocked and reached out to touch. He found that there was an invisible wall at the door of the flower hall. It felt cold to the touch, like ice cubes.
He hurriedly withdrew his hands, but his heart was completely cold.
There are many deeds of strange forces and chaos in this world, and the county magistrate has naturally heard of many of them. The cold weather suddenly dropped during the intense heat of June, and the door of the flower hall was blocked by an invisible ice wall... This kind of thing is definitely not a normal situation.
They are clearly the legendary "weird and chaotic gods"!
He was in panic when he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind.
"It's been so many years since I last saw you, you've really gained weight! Isn't this the so-called 'broad-hearted and fat'?"
The county magistrate hurriedly turned around and saw a handsome young man dressed in white standing less than five steps away from him.
"You...what on earth are you!"
Yi Ti smiled slightly: "You really don't remember what I am?"
The county magistrate was stunned and looked at Yi Ti carefully, his expression gradually becoming ugly.
His memory is better than that of the old official, and he has already remembered the origin of Yi Ti.
His imagination was much better than that of the old official, perhaps because he was more frightened in his heart. When he remembered the history of Yi Ti, and combined with the sudden coldness at this moment, he immediately headed towards the "evil ghost asking for his life"
The direction of the class I want to go.
After Yi Ti was injured, he received the punishment of being dismissed from his post the next day. This arrogant new scholar was determined not to give in to the evil, so he carried his injured body to the capital, hoping to find him in the Imperial College.
classmates went to help.
How could the people in Yanling County allow him to accomplish this! They all resorted to vicious methods...
It is impossible to verify whose method actually worked. But they all know that Yi Ti has not been heard from since then. No one has seen him either in Yanling County or in the capital.
The original warehouse supervisor - who is now the county magistrate - naturally thought that Yi Ti was dead long ago. Now that he saw Yi Ti appear, of course he regarded him as an evil ghost who came to seek revenge!
This scare immediately scared the county magistrate out of his wits! His courage was obviously not as good as that of the old official. His face immediately turned pale, his eyes turned upward, and he fell straight to the ground like a pile of frozen pork.
.
Yi Ti cast a spell to catch him, took another elixir produced by An Ziqing and threw it into his mouth. Then he sat in the air and waited leisurely for the fat pig to wake up.
A moment later, the county magistrate woke up from his nightmare with a scream. But he immediately discovered that the situation he faced seemed no different from a nightmare...
"I ask, you answer." Yi Ti was too lazy to talk nonsense to this fat pig and said coldly, "If you don't want to, I don't mind confronting you in front of the judge in hell."
"The subordinates must be recruited from the ground!" The county magistrate hurriedly knelt down on the ground, kowtowing and pleading, "Yi Jinshi! Please spare the life of the subordinate for the sake of the superior and the inferior! The inferior official must have no teeth.
I will not forget your great kindness and virtue. During the four seasons and eight festivals, I will invite eminent monks to conduct water and land Dharma gatherings for you..."
Yi Ti frowned. He didn't expect that this guy would even bribe ghosts. He became more and more unhappy, and his words naturally became colder and more cruel.
The county magistrate didn't know what Yi Ti was thinking. He saw that the evil ghost in front of him was getting colder and colder, and he couldn't help but become more and more frightened. After explaining all the things clearly in a trembling voice, Yi Ti waved his hand, and he thought the evil ghost was getting colder and colder.
The ghost finally wanted to claim his life, and immediately passed out without even humming.
If it weren't for the potency of the elixir he had just taken, he would have been frightened to death.
Yi Ti sighed and was too lazy to pay attention to the dog official. He stood up directly, drove to Wu Jie in the clouds, and told him what he had asked about this time.
"What are you going to do next?" Wu Jie asked curiously, "Should you continue to pursue the case all the way? Or go directly to Beijing to file a complaint?"
"Let's continue to investigate...the things we have in front of us are far from enough." Yi Ti sighed, "The administration of Yanling County has been corrupt for decades, and various corrupt officials and evil gentry have colluded with each other. The forces are intertwined, and many alliances have already been formed.
There are so many connections. Now that I’m ready to take action, I have to do it beautifully and cleanly to avoid recurrence in the future.”
Wu Jie nodded and asked again: "When you were framed by them... it was already twenty-five years ago, right?"
"yes."
"Then why didn't you come back to take revenge when you first mastered the Dao method? You had to wait until you succeeded in refining the Gang?"
"...Actually, I originally planned to let this matter go. After all, I am already an outsider, and the grudges in the world have nothing to do with me..." Yi Ti smiled and explained, "But in your Zhao
When Yangjun was helping with various things, I suddenly figured it out...I came here not only for revenge, but also to help the people of Yanlingjun eliminate evil!"
"It doesn't matter whether you want revenge or not, but the harm must be eliminated! If you let these guys go unchecked, it will only make the people of Yanling County more and more miserable... Since I am determined to cultivate immortality, I should do more good deeds and do more good things."
Working for the welfare of the common people. If you let evil people go unpunished and bad things go unstopped, what kind of god is this? What kind of Tao is this!"
Wu Jie nodded, fully agreeing with Yi Ti's idea.
"Well said! We cultivate immortality not only for ourselves, but also for the common people! If there is evil, we must punish it, not only for ourselves, but also for the common people! What you said, junior brother, really speaks to my heart!"
"Unifying our own interests with the interests of the people and the common people is the greatest morality for us cultivators!"
