"You are slandering the city god!" A police officer couldn't help but scolded after hearing Ru Yun's words.
After these days, most of the people in their yamen have become devout followers of the City God.
Now when they heard someone saying that it was the City God who gave her the means to kill and let her harm others, they were naturally angry.
Listening to Ru Yun's words, Wang Zhe fell into deep thought.
"But what if what she said is true? Is it really the City God who was dreaming about her?"
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I beg the City God to forgive me, I beg the City God to forgive me!"
Ru Yun suddenly fell to his knees on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, with a look of horror on his face.
Moments later, her body suddenly trembled, and she fell to the ground with a thud. Her mouth and nose were bleeding, and she died.
The moment Ru Yun fell to the ground and died, Wang Zhe saw a wisp of black energy drifting out of her body and soon disappeared.
"It's magic!"
this?
Everyone present was stunned.
"She must have been punished for slandering the City God. Didn't you see that she kept kowtowing before she died, begging the City God for forgiveness?"
"You killed someone and you want to ask the city god for forgiveness?"
"What a pity, she looks so beautiful!"
"Collect the body quickly?"
Because of Ru Yun's death and her confession before her death, the murder case of the two people in Chunxiao Tower was considered solved.
The oiran, Miss Gu, was also released and Chunxiao Tower was open for business as normal. This matter seemed to be over.
Guobei County has another story to gossip about after dinner.
Everyone was shocked when they learned that the murderer was the previous courtesan.
People were even more surprised when they heard that she kowtowed to beg the city god for forgiveness and then died suddenly.
"This is the appearance of the city god!"
"She deserves it. Who asked her to slander the City God?"
After this incident, people became even more in awe of the City God.
But Wang Zhe knows that things are far from that simple, and there are still some things that cannot be explained.
He felt that Ru Yun was being used and was just a chess piece that could be discarded at any time.
When a brothel girl dies, she dies without any relatives. Who cares? No one will even shed a tear for her.
In the yard, the casserole was steaming, exuding a rich aroma of meat. The puppy was wagging its tail aside.
Wang Zhe added a piece of wood to the fire and looked up at the sky.
It is still gray, as if there is a layer of dust floating there, and the heavy rains in the past few days have not washed away half of it.
"Laifu, Guobei County now is like a quagmire, a quagmire that can eat people, and everyone here may be swallowed up." Wang Zhe said softly.
The puppy on the side stared straight at the steaming casserole that smelled like meat.
"Do you think I should go out to avoid the limelight?"
"Wow," the puppy barked and licked its tongue.
"The cultivation level is still too low. If you can be like that man and cut across the world with one sword, why should you care about these things?"
Wang Zhe thought of the stunningly talented and beautiful figure in his dream, which made him yearn for it.
"We need to improve our cultivation as soon as possible. There is also a green dragon's inner elixir, which we need to find a way to refine. But who in Guobei County knows how to refine a green dragon's inner elixir?"
The next day, while Wang Zhe was still on duty, a middle-aged man came to express his gratitude. This man was the father of the child who was dragged away by wild beasts in the mountains during the heavy rain that day.
"Is the child's injury getting better?"
"It's much better now. I went to the City God's Temple to ask for talisman water." The man said, "This is just a little bit of intention rather than a sign of respect."
What the other party took out surprised Wang Zhe. It was actually a jade pendant, and it looked like mutton-fat jade. It had an extraordinary texture and should be expensive.
A villager could find such a rare thing.
"This thing is too precious, I can't have it."
"Just accept it, I picked it up from the mountains," the man said.
"Picked it up?" Wang Zhe was stunned when he heard this. He thought this jade pendant was a man's family heirloom.
"Ah, after the flash flood, we picked it up when we were cleaning up the fields destroyed by the flood, and someone even saw the gold ingot!" the middle-aged man said with envy.
In his opinion, these jade pendants and the like are far less useful than gold and silver.
Flash flood? Could it be that there were ancient tombs in the mountains and they were washed out during the flood?
"Some people say they saw colorful rays of light in the mountains!"
"Colorful glow?"
After hearing this, Wang Zhe decided to follow the man to visit his village.
The colorful rays of light are a strange spectacle that only occurs when the legendary treasure appears.
When we arrived at the mountain village, the roads were still full of mud, and people were busy clearing fields and repairing houses that were destroyed by heavy rains.
Wang Zhe took the snacks and went to see the child who was dragged away by the wild beast. He was recovering well.
Then Wang Zhe entered the mountain and headed towards the place where the villagers saw the glow.
"Master Catcher, be careful. There are man-eating beasts in these deep mountains and forests!"
The man was worried that he was alone and insisted on going with him, but Wang Zhe declined.
If something unexpected happened to him alone, it would be easier for him to leave, but it would be troublesome to take someone with him.
Because there was a flash flood not long ago, the mountains are still very muddy.
Wang Zhe flew through the air by trampling on the trees without even touching the ground.
At the same time, he used the "Qi Watching Technique" to look for the colorful glow seen by the people in the mountains.
After a while, he discovered a tomb in a deep mountain. Due to a flash flood, the tomb was washed away. The jewelry that the villagers saw may have originated from this tomb.
Wang Zhe stood outside and looked inside the ancient tomb. Suddenly, two red lights appeared inside, buzzing, and there was a vague sound of flapping wings.
"What?" Wang Zhe was stunned.
Wang Zhe took out a talisman from his body and held it in his hand.
go,
A ball of fire flew out of his hand and disappeared into the tunnel of the tomb.
This is the flexible use of the "Fire Talisman". It can be thrown out at once, or it can be held in the hand and used multiple times.
The firelight flew into the tomb passage, and Wang Zhe was stunned for a moment.
"That's a centipede?!"
A centipede more than three feet long. The centipede was black all over and had a pair of wings on its back.
"Could it be the legendary flying centipede? With such a strange species, this tomb is really not simple. Let's go in and have a look."
Wang Zhe holds a knife in one hand and a "fire talisman" in the other.
Two balls of fire flew out in succession. The flying centipede seemed to be afraid of fire. When it saw the light of the fire, it suddenly disappeared.
Wang Zhe carefully entered the tomb passage. The door of the main tomb chamber had been tilted down. When he entered, he found a wooden coffin in the middle.
Surrounded by some treasures, there are gold and silver jewelry, scriptures and paintings... What was washed away was the burial chamber outside. It was not flooded and was well preserved.
Buzz, suddenly a black streak flew over, like a sudden glimpse, very fast.
I've been waiting for you for a long time!
shining sword,
There was a flash of light and a clang, and it felt as if the knife had struck steel.
