Others didn’t believe that ghosts cannibalize people, but Liu Hanyan felt that something was fishy.
Long Chen wants to start a war with the ghost clan. If the ghost clan sneaks into Mengling County, things will become very troublesome.
Therefore, Liu Hanyan must ask clearly.
The waiter's eyes widened when he saw Qian, and he whispered: "Sir, there is indeed a ghost in our county. Several families have been eaten, their necks have been bitten open, and their blood has been sucked dry."
"It's really miserable. The whole family has been sucked dry. If this isn't ghost cannibalism, what is it?"
"So I advise the guest officers to leave Mengling County as soon as possible, don't stay here, and leave early tomorrow morning."
Liu Hanyan recalled her trip to Holy Snow Peak. The people there also sucked blood, which was exactly the same as the ghost tribe.
"Doesn't your county magistrate care?"
With so many people dead, as the magistrate of a county, I must investigate thoroughly and send people to arrest them.
The waiter clicked his tongue and said, "Sir, you haven't understood what I mean. This is a ghost eating people. What can the county magistrate do?"
Liu Hanyan knew that this was not some kind of ghost eating people. It was probably the ghost tribe that had sneaked into Mengling County. The ghost tribe could be captured and killed.
Of course, if you want to kill the ghost tribe, you must have a high level of cultivation. Although there are martial arts practitioners in Mengling County, there may not be many, or even none, who can kill the ghost tribe.
The people in Shengxue Peak are at least above the Martial Emperor. It is difficult to find Martial Emperor masters to deal with the ghosts in Mengling County.
"As the chief official of a party, if you don't report or deal with problems when they happen, what's the use of such a bad official!"
Liu Hanyan was very angry, and the waiter was so frightened that he quickly waved his hands and advised: "Sir, please don't curse. This county master cares most about his official reputation. If he finds out, he will be slapped to death."
Liu Hanyan thought it was so funny. He obviously didn't do anything and was just a bad official, but he still wanted to have official reputation.
"Huh, if I touch him, I'll slap him in the mouth!"
When the waiter saw Liu Hanyan being so tough, he wondered, who is this woman who dares to speak like this?
Menngling County is a very prosperous city, so the county magistrate here is a high-ranking magistrate, with a higher rank than ordinary magistrates, and is similar to a prefect.
If you dare to slap the prefect in the mouth, you must be someone with a good background. Of course, he could also be a desperado.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. In fact, the county magistrate is also thinking of a way. He invited a famous Taoist priest to open an altar tonight to perform exorcisms."
The waiter was afraid of causing trouble, so he quickly put out the fire and persuaded him.
Liu Hanyan can kill people and run away, but Xiaoer's family is here and he can't run away.
"How to open an altar? Where?"
Liu Hanyan planned to take a trip to see the dog official who wanted to save face, and also to see if the ghost clan was causing the trouble.
Long Chen is about to start a war with the ghost clan. If the ghost clan sneaks into the rear, Liu Hanyan wants to eliminate the hidden danger for Long Chen.
The waiter said: "We're at the county government office. Sir, you'd better take a rest early and leave tomorrow morning to leave this place of right and wrong."
Liu Hanyan turned around and went back to her room, ignoring the waiter.
Seeing that the person was gone, the waiter took out the broken silver from his sleeve, looked at it carefully, shook his head happily and went back to his room to sleep.
Liu Hanyan returned to the room, picked up a sharp sword, which was the Fufeng Sword made by Long Chen at that time, and gave it to Liu Hanyan, who has always carried it with her.
In addition to the Fufeng Sword, Liu Hanyan also brought a three-foot-long wooden sword and a crossbow, both of which were given to her by someone sent by Long Chen.
Looking at these things, Liu Hanyan thought of Long Chen again.
She liked Long Chen very much, but she couldn't accept so many women in Prince Wu's palace, and it was impossible for Long Chen to give up others just for her.
Maybe by fate.
Gently opening the window, Liu Hanyan jumped up and climbed onto the roof.
The wind was very strong at night, blowing on my face like a knife, and my nose couldn't help but flow out.
Liu Hanyan took out a handkerchief and wiped her nose, and a strange thought suddenly came to her mind: If my senior brother saw my runny nose, would he dislike it?
Putting down the handkerchief, Liu Hanyan wiped the ridge of the roof and flew towards the county government office.
Passing by the county government office gate during the day
, Liu Hanyan knows the location.
He flew to the county government office and landed lightly on the roof. The altar was being prepared in the courtyard.
A man wearing a Taoist robe and a lotus crown on his head was instructing his disciples and government officials to prepare the magical instruments needed for the ritual.
Sitting under the eaves was a tall man with a majestic appearance. This man was Han Rong, the magistrate of Mengling County.
Standing next to him was a tall but elegant-looking man, this man was the county magistrate Meng Chang.
The altar was gradually ready, and the county magistrate Meng Chang looked up at the stars in the sky and said: "Sir, this Taoist Li is a master of Wangyue Peak. After tonight, Sneaky will definitely leave."
Mengling County is surrounded by mountains in the northwest and plains in the southeast. Wangyue Peak is a peak in the northwest mountains. Taoist priest Li built a Taoist temple on the mountain and is a famous holy stick.
This time, there were frequent incidents of ghosts and cannibalism in Mengling County. The county magistrate Han Rong was very angry. The county magistrate Meng Chang was a local. He immediately thought of Daochang Li and went there personally to ask for this magic trick.
Daozhang Li's method was very expensive. A ritual service cost one thousand taels of silver. Han Rong agreed without blinking an eye and promised to add another thousand taels after the ceremony was completed.
Han Rong said to the outside world that for the sake of the people, it doesn't matter how much money is spent. People's lives are the most precious.
The words were so high-sounding that the people below could only praise Han Rong for loving the people like a son. Taoist priest Li was also very happy and praised Han Rong for his ability to understand the way of heaven and people's hearts.
After hearing these kind words, Han Rong was very proud.
"I love and protect the people, and God should know my painstaking efforts, and should drive away the evil spirits for me."
Han Rong looked at the altar and felt quite proud.
The brazier was lit, the flames swayed violently in the cold wind, and the flags around the altar made a clattering sound.
Taoist priest Li came over and said, "Your Majesty, the altar is ready. Please pray for the altar."
The county magistrate Han Rong was very confused. He was a county magistrate, not a Taoist priest. Why was he asked to pray for the altar?
The county magistrate Meng Chang asked: "Daozhang Li, the county magistrate is an official of the imperial court. Isn’t praying something you should do?”
Daochang Li shook his head solemnly and said, "That's wrong. Magistrate Han can control the way of heaven and the hearts of the people. It is most appropriate for Magistrate Han to open the altar to pray."
These words made Han Rong quite satisfied.
"Daozhang Li is right. As the head of a county, we should indeed pray for the people of Mengling County."
Han Rong stood up with a smile and strode onto the altar. Taoist priest Li followed behind him, and the county magistrate Meng Chang walked at the back.
There were more than 20 government officials standing in the yard. They had seen the scene of ghosts eating people. It was very tragic. They also hoped to get rid of the evil spirits as soon as possible and restore peace to Mengling County.
County Magistrate Han Rong ascended the altar, and Taoist Li burned three incense sticks and handed them to Han Rong, saying, "If Magistrate Han makes a wish to heaven, he will surely reach heaven to hear it."
Han Rong took the incense, bowed to the stars in the north, and then made a wish: Han Rong, the magistrate of Menngling County, appeals to heaven to rid the county of evil spirits and restore peace to the county. I also hope that the county will be promoted step by step.
After making his wish, Han Rong placed the three-grade incense on the incense burner.
Daochang Li said: "Please ask Magistrate Han to sit high, and this is what Pindao will do."
Han Rong walked down from the altar and sat down under the eaves. County Magistrate Meng Chang accompanied him. Taoist Li took out a three-foot sword and began to perform exorcisms.
Liu Hanyan watched coldly from the rooftop and found it very funny.
I also want to exorcise demons like this, but a small county magistrate and a small official as big as sesame dare to talk to heaven.
When Daochang Li took out the three-foot sword, Liu Hanyan was slightly surprised: This awesome guy actually got the Shenmu Suppressing Demon Sword.
With such a shape, it seems that it is made of sacred wood and is a weapon used to deal with ghosts.
Li Daochang, someone from outside the country, could actually do it.
But if you think about it carefully, Long Chen deliberately scattered so many weapons at that time just to give the people the ability to deal with the ghost clan. It is not unusual for Daochang Li to get one.
While Daochang Li was working hard, a shadow suddenly appeared in the east. Liu Hanyan immediately lowered her body and pressed against the roof tiles.
