Handu, the largest city in Yuzhou, is also the state capital of Yuzhou.
Since the Extraordinary Association took control of Yuzhou, it quickly put down the war in Yuzhou and eliminated the mountain bandits who caused trouble in the territory.
Not only that.
The state government of Yuzhou issued an order to waive all farm taxes within three years and vigorously help the people resume farming.
On the other hand, City God temples were built one after another in Yuzhou with major cities as the core.
The City God's Temple in Yuzhou is no better than the City God's Temple in reality. It has no effect except for comfort.
The City God is not only a newly enthroned god, but also responsible for the important task of capturing the souls of the dead within its jurisdiction.
I heard that the city god of the largest Chenghuang temple in Handu is a monk in the foundation building period.
Since the establishment of major Chenghuang temples, they have begun to actively collect ghosts and ghosts in Yuzhou.
At this point, incidents of ghosts and monsters hurting people in Yuzhou gradually became rarer and disappeared.
The Extraordinary Association took charge of Yuzhou for only one year, and it completely changed the appearance of Yuzhou.
Yuzhou.
Zhang Mansion in Handu.
The Zhang family is a powerful family in Handu. When the Extraordinary Association captured Yuzhou, they were on the right side, so they survived.
This day.
The atmosphere in the entire Zhang Mansion was very solemn. The servants in the mansion were all cautious when walking, for fear of causing trouble and losing their lives.
It is very common among aristocratic families for servants to be executed for offending their masters. They are slaves who have sold themselves to their masters and have no human rights at all.
The north wing of Zhang Mansion is the residence of Mr. Zhang, the owner of Zhang Mansion.
At this moment, the north wing was full of people.
Even outside the side room, there were many maids serving him. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.
Mr. Zhang of the Zhang Mansion is now in his seventies. He is about to die today and is making arrangements for his funeral.
"father!"
In front of the bed, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes knelt down, with tears in his eyes, "I'm going to beg them to give my Zhang family a Shinto shrine. Our Zhang family will be immortal in Handu for three dynasties."
There is no god of our Zhang family!"
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man was indignant and seemed to be very dissatisfied with the tyranny of the Extraordinary Association, but the form was stronger than others and he had to bow his head.
As he spoke, the middle-aged man's blood surged all over his body. He was a warrior with a third-level martial arts cultivation level, which was equivalent to the strength of a second-level Immortal Dao Concentration Stage.
"...Boss, don't worry!" Mr. Zhang stretched out his palms tremblingly, "After I die, you will be the pillar of our Zhang family, but although your martial arts talent is high, you are not calm enough.
You should discuss it more with your second brother.
The old...the second..."
"Dad! I'm here!"
A man who looked like a scholar immediately leaned down.
"Remind your brother, don't let him do stupid things. Now that Wuliang Mountain has been destroyed by them, their strength is far beyond what we can shake!"
"Dad! I know!"
The scholar-looking man nodded with tears in his eyes.
As Mr. Zhang spoke, his energy seemed to be getting better and better, and he suddenly laughed: "This Great Zhou, I am afraid that his strength has been exhausted. It is still unclear whose hands the world will fall into in the future. What you are going to do,
It is to preserve the Zhang family and extend...continue...
Ho...ho..."
Mr. Zhang seemed to have a lump of phlegm in his throat and could not breathe. His eyes widened and his neck tilted, and he passed away.
"father!!!"
"father!!!"
"master!"
"..."
There was a sudden chaos in the wing room.
The eldest son Zhang was the most excited. As his energy and blood surged, everyone in the room was unsteady and seemed to be torn to pieces by his explosive power.
"Brother!"
Beside him, his brother yelled and woke him up.
Zhang's son, who was awake, saw the mess in the house and burst into tears.
"father!!!"
No one knows.
At the moment Mr. Zhang died, his soul gradually left the body and wandered outside the body.
Mr. Zhang panicked and tried desperately to get back into his body, but the transparent soul passed directly through his body and could not integrate at all.
After trying several times, Mr. Zhang gave up.
He actually became a lonely ghost.
Although the eldest son has strong martial arts skills, his skills are too limited and he cannot see his father's soul at all.
In addition to the soul of Mr. Zhang, there is also a ghost in black robe wandering outside the north wing.
This ghost servant in black robe is exactly the ghost servant who obeys the command of the Lord Chenghuang of Handu.
It had shackles in its hands and wanted to come in and arrest the soul, but it didn't dare.
Without him, the power of Zhang's son was too strong, and it would not dare to enter.
With the strength of Zhang's eldest son, just a rush of energy and blood can make it fly away.
Especially since the other party is so excited right now, it doesn't even dare to go in.
In the north wing.
Zhang's eldest son took a porcelain vase from the servant's hand.
"Brother..."
"Second brother, you don't need to persuade me anymore. My father still had something to say before he was alive. Now that he has just left, I think his soul must still be in this room. I will only listen to what my father wants to say and I will never be reckless!"
After hearing this, the scholar-like man let go of his right hand holding his sleeve and sighed: "Then...okay."
He nodded, agreeing with his elder brother's statement.
The eldest son Zhang nodded, poured a few drops of transparent liquid from the porcelain bottle, and applied it to his eyelids.
Suddenly, the world in his eyes became more vivid.
Not only that, he also saw his father floating quietly in front of him.
"father!"
He stepped forward hastily.
Little did he know that when Mr. Zhang saw his eldest son walking towards him, he immediately made a painful sound from his mouth.
The originally transparent soul slowly melts like ice and snow encountering the blazing sun.
Seeing this, Zhang's son immediately stepped back.
"Dad, I'm sorry!"
As he spoke, tears flowed down again.
It's a pity that Mr. Zhang couldn't hear a word he said.
The eldest son Zhang saw Mr. Zhang open his mouth and say something, but he couldn't hear a word.
People and ghosts have different paths!
Everyone and the ghost fell silent.
At this time.
The ghost wandering outside the wing finally made up his mind and entered through the wall with the shackles in hand.
Immediately, Zhang's eldest son turned his attention to Gui Cha.
"You...you can see me?"
Gui Cha was stunned and pointed at Zhang's eldest son, saying nothing.
He knew that Zhang's eldest son was a powerful martial arts monk, but he didn't expect that the other party could actually see ghosts.
At this moment, Gui Cha suddenly felt the urge to run away.
It's not that it is timid, but that the strength of Zhang's eldest son is too strong, and he cannot compete with it at all.
The eldest son Zhang saw a man holding shackles break into the house, but he didn't know that he was here to arrest his father.
He immediately glared at him.
"roll!!!"
This roar, filled with vitality and blood like burning oil, directly rushed Guizhan out of the house.
The original strong Yin Qi of Guizhan became extremely thin after being brushed away by his Qi and blood. Even its body became a little thinner, and it would be gone at any time.
This ghost was also a bachelor. After being scolded by Zhang's eldest son, he immediately rolled away from Zhang's house and fled towards the City God's Temple.
