Fang Zhiyi floated away holding the baby girl.
Ma Xiuyun chased after him, shouting, "Put the child down! You can't kill her!"
A voice drifted from afar: "I killed her? Have you forgotten why you are still alive?"
The next day, in another town, there was a newly built temple dedicated to the Thirteen Protectors. At the entrance lay a baby, and alongside her was a jagged wooden plaque that read, "Blessings from the Thirteen Protectors."
Some people who came early to worship the gods were surprised when they saw it.
"Is this the baby sent by the Thirteen Protectors?"
"Who is it for?"
"I don't know."
Suddenly, two middle-aged men and women rushed out from the crowd. The woman stepped forward with trembling hands and picked up the child, while the bearded man walked directly through the gate and began to kowtow before entering the hall.
"Thank you so much for the blessing, Immortal! Thank you so much, Immortal!"
Xiulian, squatting beside her clay sculpture, watched all this silently, and then looked at the sleeping child.
"What? Are you reluctant to let go?" asked the old ghost beside him.
Xiulian shook her head: "Humans and ghosts are different. If the child stays with us for too long, something will happen."
"The dream-telling technique that the boss taught me is quite good." The old ghost sniffed the scent of incense and candles. "Do you think we can really become immortals?"
Xiulian ignored him and just glanced at the Chinese couple who were looking after the child.
These two people were specially selected by Fang Zhiyi. They came from well-off families, had no children, and did not favor boys over girls. They were both kind people. Before Fang Zhiyi came to them in the dream, Fang Zhiyi helped them solve a problem.
Just imagine, what expressions would a few bandits have if they broke into a house to rob and saw a house full of evil spirits?
Fang Zhiyi acted in a high-profile manner. Not only did he scare the bandits half to death, he also made a big noise to attract many people. Only then did he leave in a swagger with the ghosts.
The name of the Thirteen Protectors has spread throughout the area of hundreds of kilometers. Some people say they are ghosts, while others say they are immortals. However, it is undeniable that they never harm people and instead help them.
A child in Dongtou Village lost his soul. Even a traveling sorcerer was of no avail. Someone thought of asking the child to worship the Thirteen Guardians. Sure enough, that night a hideous ghost broke into the house and stuffed something into the child's body. Afterwards, the child recovered.
Almost everyone thinks that the Thirteen Tigers are omnipotent, but the actual situation is not so.
In order to accumulate more faith and virtue, there are evil spirits squatting in every temple, and then feedback the news back to their dilapidated temples, and then Fang Zhiyi arranges for the ghosts to deal with it overnight. Because of this, Fang Zhiyi deeply feels the problem of shortage of manpower.
The ruined temple has started a new round of talent introduction plan.
Jingtian and Xiulian were in charge of interviewing the captured evil spirits. That's right, they were now starting to go to farther places to capture some newly born evil spirits. However, this behavior naturally affected the interests of others, such as He Wei's master, and He Kuiyu.
Originally, there were some priests and monks in the area where the Thirteen Protectors were stationed. However, since the Thirteen Protectors came out of nowhere, their business has been getting worse and worse. After all, the Thirteen Protectors are evil spirits and they don't charge for their services. These people have thought about causing trouble for the Thirteen Protectors, but they found that the evil actor ghost was extremely scary. However, they did not kill him, so gradually these people withdrew from the Thirteen Protectors' territory.
