Chapter 357: The Tree Wants to Be Quiet, But the Wind Doesn't Stop
"good."
Jiang Qinian looked into Ying Chumei's eyes and said softly.
Then, he held her in his arms again, and the floral fragrance of her hair filled her nose, which was far better than thousands of fine wines in the world.
"Then should we tell Gu Xiaoman?"
The little man in his arms thought for a while, and then whispered:
"No need.
Only kill Fang Dawei and not Gu Zhaoyi. Fang Dawei abandoned his wife and children from the beginning and did all kinds of bad things, so much so that even Gu Xiaoman's grandmother died because of him. How can such a man deserve to be called a father?
Years have passed and I still don’t repent, so what if I tell Gu Xiaoman?
Let him go?
He is the culprit of all this, but if Gu Xiaoman is informed, she will definitely agree to kill Fang Dawei based on her temperament, but she will have no peace for the rest of her life.
As for Gu Zhaoyi...after all, she gave birth to Gu Xiaoman, so I will spare her life, but I will do something to make her spend the rest of her life in repentance."
"Okay, then it's all up to you."
Jiang Qinian had no objection to this decision.
Not to mention that he supports everything Ying Chumei wants to do, and secondly, Gu Zhaoyi and Fang Dawei really cannot deserve the title of parents.
Being young and not wanting the consequences, Gu Zhaoyi became pregnant with Gu Xiaoman.
But since it was his own mistake, he made Grandma Gu and Gu Xiaoman bear everything.
Not only that, even after abandoning Gu Xiaoman, he actually stepped on her bones to get to the top to get what he wanted.
How is this behavior any different from that of an animal?
Tiger poison does not eat its seeds, but this living person can do such a shameful thing!
"Well...how is the investigation into the Nightmare City? How much does the ghost cultivator know?"
Hearing this, Ying Chumei's expression also became serious.
"I was just about to tell you about this. The conspiracy involved... is far more terrifying than imagined!"
"How to say?"
Jiang Qinian asked with a frown, and at the same time a bad premonition came to his heart.
"This ghost cultivator doesn't hold a high position in the organization, so he doesn't know much about it.
But what is certain is that the Nightmare City is not the beginning of everything. The ghost possession incident that Captain Cheng experienced a long time ago was caused by them!"
"Um?"
Jiang Qinian looked solemn.
Nightmare City was indeed a conspiracy, and it was a conspiracy against him, but until now, he still didn't know what the other party's purpose was.
Force him into the weather bureau?
Or... embarking on the path of cultivation?
But what exactly is the purpose of this?
And now it seems that it is actually involved in the ghost possession incident!
Perhaps she knew he was anxious, so Ying Chumei didn't sell it out.
She pondered for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Jiang Qinian.
"The Five Ghost Transporting Technique does not only appear in Gu Xiaoman, there are even shadows of the Five Ghost Transporting Technique in other places.
According to Soul Search, they seem to have been wandering the world eight years ago, looking for people like Fang Dawei, letting them indulge in them and become believers of the ghost cultivator organization.
It is not difficult to understand. Behind the ghost cultivators are the lineage of divine servants. They simply want to create a golden body of merit through this method, so that they can achieve enlightenment and become gods.
But what about those whose lives were ruined?
Their final fate was nothing more than violent death, but their souls did not fall into the River Styx after death, but were recycled and used by ghost cultivators to create new chaos.
I don't know the specific situation, because the ghost cultivator I met this time also has little knowledge, but what is certain is that both the ghost body and the nightmare city are inseparable from collecting the souls of these poor people.
Maybe we can start investigating from this aspect in the future.”
After listening, Jiang Qinian also thought carefully. Ying Chumei did not disturb him and just stood aside quietly waiting. She also felt the pressure doubled in her heart.
The ghost is possessed, the city of nightmares, and the incense of the god’s servant is revealed.
No matter what happens, it happens around them.

But they are not even qualified to participate.
The limit of the physical body, the peak of a real person... is still too weak, not even an ant in front of a real peerless giant...
Thinking of this, Ying Chumei also said with relief:
"It doesn't matter, you are no longer alone now.
Even if everyone gives up on you, I will stand firmly behind you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up on her tiptoes and pecked Jiang Qinian gently on the lips.
"Thank you."
Jiang Qinian spoke softly, as if he was telling his love for the girl.
"Okay, okay, it's so disgusting."
While saying this, Ying Chumei blushed and patted him.
"By the way, there is one last thing, which is about what happened six years ago."
"You mean... the ghost cultivators were extremely active at that time?"
Ying Chumei asked in confusion.
"Exactly.
At that time, the Dangchuan Rebellion had not yet begun, and the Meteorological Bureau's heyday was by no means comparable to what it is now.
At that time, there were double digits of the most powerful gods standing in the open, and the number of those who were hiding in the dark was even more unimaginable, so much so that every province had veteran emperors in charge.
At that time, Lin Ju's father, Lin Zongyou, was also a powerful man at the level of the Five Emperors, with many masters from the Demigod Realm and Earthly Immortal Realm under his command.
For such a powerful meteorological bureau, not to mention the ghost cultivators, even the divine servants have to calculate for a long time before they dare to make a move. How can this ghost cultivator dare to cause trouble under his nose?"
"You mean...there's a mole?"
Her eyes widened in disbelief, as if she was shocked by this idea.
After all, although the Meteorological Bureau has only been established for a short period of time, those selected to join the Meteorological Bureau are not mediocre in terms of temperament or talent.
Although the cause of the Dangchuan Rebellion was indeed caused by the rebellion of branch personnel, later investigations also proved that these people were just being manipulated.
Now that Jiang Qinian said that there is a ghost inside, and it also involves the serious incident of ghost cultivators cultivating followers, then if the guess is correct... then his status in the Meteorological Bureau may not be low...
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Qinian continued to analyze:
"Furthermore, according to our investigation, ghost cultivators are an organization that has only recently emerged. Don't you think this is very strange?"
"Well...it is indeed.
The Meteorological Bureau at that time was so powerful, but no trace of the ghost cultivators was found. Now the Meteorological Bureau is weaker than before. The ghost cultivators have become stronger after being dormant for a long time, and we have found each other instead.
There are only two reasons for this.
One is that the other party deliberately let us discover it, and the other is that the behavior of the ghost cultivators has become more unscrupulous, or that what they are planning is so close to success that they no longer bother to disguise themselves.
But no matter what the situation is, it is extremely disadvantageous for us.
If they are really planning something, although we don't know what it is, it is definitely something that can cause huge changes, such as Nightmare City.
Not even a strong man in the early stages of half-life can participate in it, but he is only qualified to hear about it, so you can imagine how terrible this plan is."
Then, Jiang Qinian began to think carefully.
Ying Chumei was right. Now that the ghost cultivators were discovered, they even suffered a lot of losses at their hands, but they must not be underestimated because of this.
Although the lineage of god servants who tried to become gods during the Dangchuan Rebellion participated in the war, the overall damage was much less than that of the slave lineage.
At least after the war, he still had considerable strength.
As for the ghost cultivators... not even a shadow was seen!
Thinking of this, he slowly raised his head, and then asked Chumei:
"Does this ghost cultivator have any traces of other ghost cultivators' activities in his memory?"
Ying Chumei shook her head.
"No, they just received orders to go to different places to pick up believers, but the specific places are unclear.
They do a very good job of keeping secrets. Each member has his or her own responsibility, and each member does not know the existence of the other, in order to prevent others from taking the blame.
The one we caught is in charge of Tianfang City and the surrounding counties, towns and towns, and the rest are just one (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 357: The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn’t stop
I don’t know anything about it, including the people he “helped”. I also have these lists, but many of them are people in important positions...
So... you should be able to understand what I mean. These people definitely cannot be kept, but if we do it rashly... I'm afraid it will cause quite a turmoil."
After saying this, she sighed helplessly.
The ghost cultivator started to attract believers eight years ago. Before meeting Gu Xiaoman, he had already bewitched some people.
To be able to recruit so many people at that time, the Meteorological Bureau must have someone to help cover it up, and the position is not low.
The Meteorological Bureau before the Dangchuan Rebellion was different from what it is now.
Now Lin Nanzhi is in charge of the power alone, overwhelming the others.
But in the past, the Meteorological Bureau was an alliance organization overseen by many powerful forces, and at that time, Lin Nanzhi was only equivalent to a feudal official guarding a province, and did not know much about the headquarters in the capital.
So it is inevitable that there will be people with evil intentions who will take advantage of the loopholes.
Moreover, after the death of the ghost cultivators who led the believers, those believers did not make trouble, but stayed dormant temporarily, which made it even more difficult for everyone to investigate.
But the information about the two incidents of Nightmare City and Ghost Possession is now a little clearer.
At the very least, it can be determined that it is related to the incense preaching and the collection of beliefs, so there will be a direction for future investigations.
The mastermind must be of the god-like lineage, but the slave lineage may not be that clean.
There are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests.
What's more, whether they are from the lineage of gods or the lineage of slaves, they were once a family, and the Meteorological Bureau was an outsider.
There may be a lot of friction and contradiction between them, but if something happens, they don't mind joining forces to deal with the Meteorological Bureau.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qinian also exhaled a long breath.
"Okay, let's report it to Captain Cheng first, and we can discuss it in detail when we get back.
There is no need to rush this matter. We are not strong enough now, so we can only investigate some small things first. Thinking too much now will only increase worries. Revenge must be taken, but it must be done slowly."
"Okay, now that Captain Jiang has spoken, I can only risk my life to accompany this gentleman."
With that said, Ying Chumei took Jiang Qinian's hand and walked away lightly and happily.
The gentle breeze blows away the rouged evening clouds, and the graceful figure of the bright moon steps out of the night, like a beauty who has lifted her veil.
The sunset fell, reflecting on the girl's face, lighting up the world again.
