The City God replied, "I intend to capture Ning Caijun at night. I have invited Your Excellency here today for this purpose. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ling remained silent, opened his folding fan and shook it gently, as if he was thinking about something.
Upon seeing this, the City God asked in confusion, "Does Your Excellency have any concerns?"
With a click, click!
Zhang Ling folded up his fan, holding it in one hand, and said, "I just can't understand why my fellow immortal wants to capture Ning Caijun."
The City God explained, "This Ning Caijun is colluding with demons, disrupting the imperial court and threatening Yongning. How can he not be apprehended?"
Zhang Ling remained silent, sighed deeply, and then asked, "My fellow immortal, you asked me to discuss this matter. Is it for discussion, notification, or inquiry?"
"The Supreme Lord patrols the world on behalf of Heaven, watching over the good and evil. Now that he has come to my Yongning territory, all matters, big or small, naturally follow the Supreme Lord's orders."
"In that case, I will tell you what I am thinking."
"Speak freely, Your Excellency!"
Zhang Ling pondered for a moment and said, "My fellow immortals say that Ning Caijun is colluding with demons. So far, we only know that his luck is compatible with the yellow rat spirit. We don't know whether the other two demons are good or bad. Just the yellow rat's request for a title doesn't prove anything! You must know that Heaven is merciful and compassionate. Every species has its own specific path to enlightenment, like snakes and pythons swimming through water, carp leaping through the Dragon Gate, and monsters conquering. This is one of the laws of Heaven. How can we be prejudiced?"
"I don't think it's possible that the government will be affected by the cholera. Dali is home to many talented individuals. Mortal kings are destined by heaven, and they have various sacred figures lurking around to assist them. In this mortal world, their rise and fall cannot be disrupted by a few people or demons. Beneath the general trend, undercurrents surge. There must be many unseen forces deep within. How can we be blinded by a single leaf?"
Zhang Ling stopped talking at this point. The Yongning City God thought this made perfect sense and immediately asked one last question: "How will we deal with the invasion of Yongning? Will we just watch the people suffer?"
The young man in green stood up, with his hands behind his back. A breeze blew from somewhere, and his long black hair, as black as ink and as black as a waterfall, hung down, and his sleeves fluttered.
"Don't teach others to be kind without first experiencing their suffering. Karma is a cycle, and retribution is repaid!"
"Just wait and see, don't rush!"
Zhang Ling shook his head and walked out of the City God Temple alone with mixed feelings.
Looking up at the sky outside the temple, there are white clouds and the sky is clear. Today is indeed an auspicious day.
…
The City God of Yongning sat in his seat in a daze, thinking hard, and finally sent out a divine message to recall his subordinates and immediately cancel the arrest of Ning Caijun.
