The men in Qingyi and Chen Juncheng left the Yamen, and an hour later they left and returned.
Chen Juncheng walked into the yamen and said regretfully: "There is no trace of her in the thirteen counties of Beijun. She has either left Beijun or been killed by strong men passing by. It's a pity, she is also a pitiful person."
The man in Tsing Yi showed disdain and said: "This is a dirty thing in your North County. Why are you sighing? If you were strict in governing, how could it lead to such a tragedy?"
Chen Juncheng asked: "My Taoist friends have lived in Zhongjun for a long time. Don't you know that there are some things that we can't do anything about?"
The man in Tsing Yi sneered and said: "There is nothing you can do beforehand, but you can deceive others afterwards."
Chen Juncheng asked in confusion: "What does this mean, fellow Taoist?"
"These things have nothing to do with me. As long as the evil spirit no longer causes trouble, my mission will be completed." The man in Tsing Yi did not continue the topic and said: "I was ordered by the court to come to destroy this evil spirit. Now the evil spirit has been destroyed." The spiritual disaster has subsided, and I will return to Zhongjun to resume my duties. See you later."
He clasped his fists at Chen Juncheng, rose into the clouds, and disappeared into the sky in an instant.
Commander Shen came out and asked, "Did he see it?"
"Who knows?" Chen Juncheng smiled and said, "Some things are rare to be confused..."
There was a rush of footsteps from the back office, and the feminine man ran out and asked anxiously: "Where is the person?"
Commander Shen looked at the feminine man with bruises on his face and said, "Let's go."
"The case has not yet been investigated, how could he leave first!" The feminine man said with a sullen look on his face: "I have found out that the reason why the evil spirit appeared in North County is because of a building named Yunyan Pavilion. Teahouse, I order you in Beijun County to arrest all the people involved in the Yunyan Pavilion case and wait to be punished..."
Chen Juncheng glanced at him lightly and asked, "What happened to the teahouse?"
The feminine man said coldly: "The teahouse told a story."
"Is it a sin to tell stories?"
"Ordinary stories are naturally innocent, but that story created a peerless evil spirit, caused the Yang County magistrate's family to be wiped out, and caused so many innocent people in Yang County to suffer. Have you ever thought about the significance of telling this story in a teahouse? Purpose, who is behind it, what are their motives, who is the story satirizing, what is it trying to subvert, what is it destroying, what is it insinuating?”
The feminine man looked gloomy and said: "Those who do good will suffer poverty and their life will be shortened, and those who do evil will enjoy wealth and longevity. How bold and arrogant people are to say such arrogant words, make irresponsible remarks about the government, and criticize the government. If they are not killed, they will not be able to establish their authority." !”
"That evil spirit was created by heaven and earth. Could it be that Dr. Feng wants to destroy heaven and earth?"
A calm voice came from the door of the county government office. The feminine man turned around and saw an old man with gray hair walking in from the outside.
The feminine man was startled and said in shock: "Qi Yushi, why are you here?"
The old man said calmly: "I have been ordered by Your Majesty to come here to deal with the evil spirits in Bei County."
…
Li Mu sat in the check-in room and looked at Sister Bai Yinxin.
He has been able to determine that monsters are easily addicted to the Buddha's light triggered by the Heart Sutra, just like Li Muhe is addicted to Liu Hanyan's dual cultivation.
He conducted experiments on them using the Common Dharma Sutra, and concluded from the reactions of the Bai Yinxin sisters that the decisive factor in their addiction lay in the Heart Sutra, not the Buddha's light.
When he was seriously ill in his previous life, his mother went to all the temples for him and even bought a bunch of Buddhist scriptures. She chanted the sutras every day and even asked Li Mu to join her.
Li Mu read a small part of those Buddhist scriptures, but after his mother died unexpectedly, he never read them again.
In the past few months, Li Mu had tried countless times, and among all the scriptures he had memorized, he found that only the Heart Sutra could resonate with heaven and earth in this world.
So far, he has not yet understood all the mysteries of the Heart Sutra.
The two sisters, White Snake and Green Snake, looked at Li Mu with longing in their eyes.
Li Mu was unmoved. Except for Liu Hanyan, any woman, female ghost, or banshee addicted to him would be trouble.
Bai Tingxin's lips moved, as if she finally couldn't help but want to say something to Li Mu, when Zhao Captou came in happily from outside and said: "Li Mu, someone from the court is here---Hey,
Don’t rush to pack your things yet, this is a good thing!”
Capt. Zhao stopped Li Mu from running away and said: "The censor who came this time was ordered by His Majesty. His Majesty's first imperial edict was to absolve the little girl of her guilt. Not only that, she also asked
The Beijun government erected a statue for the Yang County magistrate and his family, and let their statues kneel in front of the government office to accept the people's curses and serve as a warning to future officials in Yang County..."
After Zhao Captou finished speaking, he said with admiration: "Long live the Queen..."
Li Mu only cared about one thing and asked: "I was not mentioned in the imperial edict, right?"
Capt. Zhao shook his head and said, "No."
As Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, there were sudden footsteps outside the door, and then three people walked in from the outside.
One was Commander Chen, the other was Commander Shen, and the last one was an old man with gray hair. Li Mu had never seen him before, but when he saw the old man, his eyes couldn't help but condense.
In Li Mu's opinion, this old man clearly had no cultivation, but Li Mu always felt a familiar aura about him.
That is the breath of thought power.
Li Mu felt carefully and noticed a strong concentration of thought power around the old man's body.
After the old man walked into the check-in room, sister Bai Yinxin frowned, feeling uncomfortable all over, and quickly walked out.
Lieutenant Shen stepped forward, looked at the old man, and said to Li Mu: "This is the Yushi of Qi. On His Majesty's order, he came to solve the problem of evil spirits in Beijun."
Li Mu stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I have met Qi Yushi."
Qi Yushi looked at Li Mu and said, "I didn't expect that it would be such a young man who could say such earth-shattering remarks. It really makes us ashamed."
The censor from Zhongjun seemed to have no intention of pursuing the blame, so Li Mu felt relieved.
Qi Yushi didn't say anything to Li Muduo, but just asked him to copy the original story of "Dou E's Injustice". After Li Mu finished copying, he handed it to Shen Junwei and asked: "There is nothing wrong with Yang County anymore."
, can I go back to the county?"
Lieutenant Shen nodded and said, "You have nothing to do here. You can go back first."
Because of Miss Xiaoyu's incident, Li Mu has been feeling very depressed these days. People cannot be resurrected after death. The current ending is considered the best.
Her Majesty the Queen's imperial edict concluded the matter, and she was taken back to Jinshan Temple by Xuandu to be saved. The magistrate of Yangxian County and others will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever.
Li Mu guided Xiaoyu back, and also killed four ghost generals under King Chu Jiang, and gained enough soul power. Within half a month, he could completely condense the three souls and enter the gathering state.
For him, the condensation of three souls does not require the exhaustive collection of emotions. It is far less complicated than the seven souls and takes far less time than refining souls.
He returned to the check-in room and packed his things. Bai Tingxin leaned against the door and asked, "Are you leaving?"
Bai Tingxin was punished by the White Demon King to perform meritorious deeds at the county government office because she used to absorb people's yang energy. Now that she has served her sentence, she can return to the mountain.
Li Mu picked up the baggage, waved to her and said, "See you soon."
"Wait a minute." Bai Tingxin ran in immediately and said, "You have to leave anyway, or..."
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "The last time."
Bai Tingxin smiled happily and said, "Wait a minute, I'll call my sister!"
The White Demon King was kind to Li Mu, and this last time could be considered as repaying his kindness.
After spending part of his mana to satisfy Bai Tingxin's wish, Li Mu was not willing to stay for a moment longer. After leaving the county seat of Yang County, he walked with his sword and headed straight for the county seat.
In the check-in room, Bai Tingxin stretched out her hand, waved it in front of Bai Yinxin's eyes, and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Yinxin stood up and said, "Nothing, let's go back too."
Bai Tingxin held her hand and walked out of the county office, saying, "It's so boring to practice in the mountains. Let's go out and play with Li Mu in a few days..."
The two walked out of the county government office. After a while, the feminine man also walked out of the door and said, "Go back to Zhongjun."
A practitioner of magical powers behind him asked: "If we go back like this, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain to the Minister."
The feminine man glanced at his mouth and said: "Your Majesty sent the censor here. What can I do? The minister can't blame us. Who let his brother-in-law arouse public resentment..."
Beijun, somewhere in a remote mountain.
The man in black robe lowered his head and knelt at the entrance of a spooky cave. After an unknown amount of time, an erratic voice came from the cave, "What's the matter?"
The man in black robe buried his head deeper and said: "Your Highness, my subordinates did things poorly and failed to attract the evil spirit."
There was silence in the cave for a moment before a voice came out, "The evil spirit was not in the plan. It would be better to have her, and it would be fine without her, as long as the eighteen ghost generals can gather together..."
The man in black robe trembled and said: "Eighteen, Eighteen Ghost General, something unexpected happened."
The voice in the cave suddenly became dark: "Besides the green-faced ghost and Mrs. Chu, what other surprises are there?"
The voice of the man in black robe became more and more trembling: "The red-haired ghost, the big-headed ghost, the Rakshasa ghost, and the long-tongued ghost were killed by a human practitioner..."
There was silence in the cave for a long time before a voice said: "In other words, there are only twelve of my eighteen ghost generals left. Do you know what I have been planning for five years?"
The man in black robe knelt on the ground and said quickly: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will gather the eighteen ghost generals as soon as possible. Please give me another half year..."
"There is no time..." A sigh came from the cave, and he suddenly asked: "How long have you been with me?"
The man in black robe immediately said: "It's been five years."
The voice in the cave said: "Five years, I'm really reluctant to let go..."
The man in black robe was stunned for a moment, his expression changed drastically, and turned into a black mist. He turned around and ran away without hesitation.
However, the next moment, a terrifying suction force came from the cave, sucking all the black mist in.
Deep in the cave, two groups of ghostly lights flashed, and he sighed: "With your soul power, it should be enough to complete the eighteen ghost generals..."
