That night, many immortal gods came to Huaiyin City, and several of them went directly to the prefect Peng Ruhui.
The leader is called "Tai Shang Jiu Yuan Little Sage", and he is the 21st Demon-Suppressing General of the Lei Department of "Tai Shang Tian Ting".
The reason why he appeared holy in front of others was not to show his divine power, but because he had an old relationship with Peng Ruhui.
"Prefect Peng."
"The Lord of Gods came to the world, and since he has quelled the demons, why did he find me a mere mortal?"
Although Peng Ruhui was anxious at the moment, he was not afraid. Even his fear of the gods had disappeared.
Immortals and gods are nothing more than human beings with more supernatural powers.
"Prefect Peng."
Seeing that Peng Ruhui was not awe-inspiring to be close to him, Taishang Jiuyuan Little Sage was not annoyed, but said politely, "Prefect Peng doesn't recognize me in this life, but Prefect Peng had a fate with me in his previous life."
Having said that, Taishang Jiuyuan Little Sage waved his hand, took out a bead, and handed it to Peng Ruhui to look at, "Prefect Peng saved my life at that time."
Peng Ruhui looked through the beads and saw a Taoist boy who saved an injured crow.
And this crow is the incarnation of Taishang Jiuyuan Little Sage. To be precise, it is "Ying Shen". He needs to go through a lot of hardships before he can flap his wings and control thunder.
So he wanted to be a mortal bird again, but he was unlucky and suffered disaster before he left the bird's nest. Without Peng Ruhui's previous life, he had to practice cultivation again.
Afterwards, Taishang Jiuyuan Little Sage explained it to Peng Ruhui briefly. Only then did Peng Ruhui realize that it was not that easy to become a god who controlled the climate of the four seasons. It was necessary to enter the world and experience the world.
The process to follow.
But because of this, Peng Ruhui's anger rose. Holding back his anger, he shouted: "Since the God Lord has the power to control thunder, why didn't he kill the demons early and wait until all the creatures were devastated before he came out to clean up the mess?"
"I'm just a soldier of the Lei Department."
The words of Taishang Jiuyuan Little Sage made Peng Ruhui feel discouraged.
However, Peng Ruhui still said quickly: "Wei... what should we do?!"
"Now that the evil atmosphere has dissipated, we must suppress and kill him."
"absurd!"
"good."
Taishang Jiuyuan Little Sage did not deny this, "We have done our best by not taking action now. After dawn, the gods from all directions will hunt down Wei. This time, the three realms will join forces to suppress the rebellion and suppress the evil. Wei cannot escape."
.”
"Morality?"
Peng Ruhui sneered, "I never thought that gods still have moral principles."
"Prefect Peng."
Instead of being angry because of Peng Ruhui's attitude, Taishang Jiuyuan Little Sage said sincerely, "As an official all your life, don't you have no choice but to do what you want?"
"..."
"You want official reputation, merit, fame, salary..."
"I'll wait, it's the same."
"..."
"Human beings are divided into three, six or nine levels, so why not immortals and gods?"
Cupping his hands slightly, Taishang Jiuyuan Little Saint continued, "Furthermore, it is not us gods and gods who betray Wei, but the mortals themselves."
"..."
There was nothing to say, nothing to reply. Peng Ruhui knew very well that Xia Shi himself had caused all this. In Xia Shi's view, as long as he could put out Wei Hao's fire, he could accept any price.
Such things as the destruction of life...
In fact, it's not worth a penny at all.
"Prefect Peng, we also have a tacit understanding with Wei. After daybreak, he can escape."
"Will the Lord let Wei go?"
"No, as long as he cannot escape, we will definitely kill him. The merits of tens of thousands of demons are not as good as his life."
After Taishang Jiuyuan Little Saint said this, he waved his hand and saw the statues, peach charms, and flying knives in the house floating one after another, and then shattered one after another. Then he looked at Peng Ruhui: "Starting from tomorrow, peach charms, flying knives, and portraits will be banned everywhere.
.”
"..."
"This is cutting down mountains and destroying temples, which is also a meritorious deed."
Taishang Jiuyuan Little Sage tore off all the disguises of many things, which made Peng Ruhui's scalp numb. While he felt fear in his heart, he was also extremely angry.
"I know that Magistrate Peng has already made up his mind to follow you, but I still want to remind Magistrate Peng. Pursuit in the Three Realms has always been about eradicating the roots. I hope Magistrate Peng will think twice."
Because of the love from the previous life, Taishang Jiuyuan Little Sage did not want Peng Ruhui to die in vain.
"I dare to ask the Lord God, has this ever happened before..."
"have!"
Before Peng Ruhui could finish speaking, Taishang Jiuyuan Little Sage replied categorically, "I and other immortals in the lower world have been hunted down like this before."
"What?!"
Peng Ruhui was shocked, "Zeng, once..."
"Exactly." Taishang Jiuyuan Little Saint nodded and said with a smile, "Now the immortals and gods are all gods who uphold justice. In the past, they were all like Wei."
"But……"
"If Wei doesn't die, he will be the new immortal god."
"..."
The smile of Taishang Jiuyuan Little Saint made Peng Ruhui feel particularly disgusted.
Justice for God?!
So what now?!
However, Taishang Jiuyuan Xiaosheng did not intend to continue to explain. Instead, he said: "Prefect Peng has been an official for many years and occasionally administers policies. There is no guarantee that it will not infringe on the interests of the people. After being an official for decades, it is harmless to do it occasionally. However,
, the number of times I and other gods will occasionally do this will be many more."
After all, immortals and gods have a long lifespan. Even if they come once a hundred years, they can come dozens or hundreds of times.
Peng Ruhui was not stupid and understood the hint from Taishang Jiuyuan Little Sage.
"Prefect Peng, if you want to defect to Wei, leave now."
Taishang Jiuyuan Little Sage looked at Peng Ruhui and said, "Tomorrow, at dawn, anyone who makes such remarks will be killed without hesitation. Xia Shi is weak but cruel. You should be deeply touched."
After saying this, Taishang Jiuyuan Little Sage reached out and grasped a sledgehammer. With a flick of his hand, a golden avenue led directly to the south of the city.
"Wei's troops are ten miles outside the city. If you want to defect, go here. It will save you a lot of legwork."
Then Taishang Jiuyuan Little Saint took out another ring and handed it over, "I will repay my kindness in the past life in this life. This is the relic of my ascension in the previous life, which contains the method of cultivation. With the official reputation and qualifications of Magistrate Peng,
You should make rapid progress in your spiritual practice in this life, and maybe it won’t take long before you can overcome the calamity and become an immortal.”
"Thank you."
Peng Ruhui did not refuse, took the ring, turned around and left.
Just as he stepped onto the Golden Light Avenue, he stopped and turned to look at Taishang Jiuyuan Little Sage: "After I leave, how will I explain to the soldiers and civilians in the city?"
"This is Xia Shi's business."
"Thank you."
Then, Peng Ruhui left directly.
"Ming Gong——"
"Mingfu!"
The local cultivators who had fought side by side with Peng Ruhui for a long time all shouted out.
Taishang Jiuyuan Little Sage's eyes widened angrily: "Bold——"
The cultivator in the realm of ghosts and immortals was suppressed by the Taishang Jiuyuan Little Sage and fell to the ground.
"Please show me your noble hand, Lord God!"
In mid-air, Peng Ruhui turned around and bowed, then left resolutely.
"snort!"
Taishang Jiuyuan Little Saint withdrew his divine power, lowered his eyelids, and looked at the trembling cultivators with indifferent eyes, "If you have accomplished your merits, would you like to follow me to heaven to work? The Lei Department now has gatekeepers who can make alchemy.
There is a vacancy for boys, and for the sake of Magistrate Peng, I can make an exception and take you to heaven."
In the realm of ghosts and immortals, one is already qualified to ascend to the heavenly realm, but after ascending, nothing will happen.
But with the Taishang Nine Yuan Little Sage, it's different. After ascending, you will have errands, whether it's guarding or refining elixirs, it's all credit.
After accumulating for a long time, you will naturally be promoted. As for how long it will take, that is another matter.
After listening to the words of Taishang Jiuyuan Little Sage, all local cultivators are excited. Even if they are afraid, it is better than wasting time in the mortal world.
As far as cultivation resources are concerned, heaven and earth are not on the same level.
Especially those cultivators who have not yet reached the realm of ghosts and immortals are even more excited.
At this time, Peng Ruhui had arrived ten miles outside the south city.
Seeing numerous camps and strongholds, Peng Ruhui was immediately stunned, and a thought popped into his mind: With such a strong army, why not go north and destroy those immortals?
At that moment, a big dragon suddenly descended from the sky and turned into a prince. Then he looked at Peng Ruhui and said, "I thought he was a lobbyist from heaven, but I didn't expect him to be a prefect."
"I don't know Mr. Long..."
"I am the Dragon King of Rushui, but of course I am no longer." The Dragon King of Rushui put his hands on his hips and said cheerfully, "Seeing that you are in a trance and come here with your feet stepping on the golden light, I must be a bastard from the heaven who has met you. Could it be that someone has met you?
What old acquaintance is there?"
In a daze, Peng Ruhui said this, and then the Dragon King of Rushui sighed: "Oh, who do you think it is? It turns out to be that kid. Whatever, when I catch him in the future, I just don't want to kill him."
"?????"
Peng Ruhui was confused. He felt that none of the two immortals were normal.
While speaking, Wei Hao also landed on the ground. After saluting Peng Ruhui with his fists raised, Wei Hao said: "Prefect Peng."
"elephant!!"
Peng Ruhui stepped forward and grabbed Wei Hao's arm, "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. The imperial court and the gods in the sky will kill you!"
"I know."
Wei Hao nodded, "I had expected today before I came to Beijing to take the exam."
"That's not all!"
Peng Ruhui, who looked anxious, quickly continued, "The imperial court will ban 'flying knives', 'images' and peach charms. Now that the national destiny is collapsing, they will use these methods to cut off your popularity."
"It doesn't matter."
Waving his hand, Wei Hao didn't care about this at all, even though he clearly needed it, but this attitude actually made Peng Ruhui feel a lot more relaxed.
"elephant!!"
Peng Ruhui gritted his teeth and said to Wei Hao, "I am willing to join the army of the elephant, defeat the demons, and revive China!"
"Ha ha."
Smiling, Wei Hao looked at Peng Ruhui and said, "Prefect Peng, people will die."
"Death is death!"
Peng Ruhui's eyes widened, "In this world, death is not a bad thing!"
"..."
Hearing this, Wei Hao remained silent. He waved his hand and the compass appeared in front of him, and then left directly with Peng Ruhui.
The army that followed Wei Hao to the north did not even see the appearance of the mayor of Huaiyin, so they immediately retreated and dispersed.
On the canal, the silver carp and bighead carp monsters were struggling to tow the fleet. Countless boatmen and laborers were on board. They all returned to their hometowns overnight, as if such a thing had never happened.
At dawn, cocks crowing and dogs barked in Huaiyin City for the first time in a long time. Breakfast vendors also set up tables, chairs and benches for the first time in a long time. There was soup on the stove, and they didn't know what they were cooking.
Inside the magistrate's yamen, except that the seat of the magistrate boss has been changed, the rest remains unchanged.
The demons and monsters outside the city also seemed to have been swept away.
This clean appearance is really pleasing to the eye.
No one remembers the three words "Peng Ruhui", it is as if there has never been a person like "Peng Ruhui" in Huaiyin Mansion.
In the official documents of the imperial court, the name of the prefect is not found to be "Peng Ruhui".
Huaiyin City was in ruins and waiting to be revitalized. The court officials who came to appease the people were very busy. On the bank of the Huai River, the Taishang Jiuyuan Little Sage held a sledgehammer in his hand and said to the gods and gods with some regret: "I didn't expect that there is only a prefect.
, but wanted to erase his name.”
"Who said he is the only remaining fruit in Huaixia?"
"If he goes to Xiayi, he will definitely have a great reputation. If he sticks to the isolated city so far, hundreds of thousands of demons will not be able to do anything to him. The people's hearts will be tempered, and the official reputation will be fierce. Maybe he will be blessed by great supernatural powers. He also thinks about joining forces with Wei, in
The world of heaven is unfavorable.”
"If it weren't for Brother Jiuyuan's sake, I would have wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone."
"He was kind to me in his previous life."
Taishang Jiuyuan Little Saint frowned slightly and spoke in a bad tone.
"That's why we let him live."
"Hmph, you are not ashamed to say that. With his current popularity, as long as he enters the capital, he will be in high demand. Do you dare to kill him? Popularity can crush you to death and destroy your ten thousand years of Taoism, just with the flick of a finger."
"..."
After these immortals spoke, they saw the water suddenly bubbling, just like boiling water. Not long after, the sound of chains was heard, and a great god smiled and said: "Look, even the Demon Emperor's fate is ruined. Now look at it."
arrive?"
"Ants, what do you want?"
A voice came, and chains rattled, and one of the chains penetrated the sky. Taishang Jiuyuan Little Sage saw it clearly. The chain penetrated from the mouth of a violent ape, stretched out from under the buttocks, and then escaped into the ground.
