Chapter 790: Xu Jishi
Hou Tu Niangniang is the yin of yin and yang, the earth of heaven and earth, and the goddess of the underworld.
The City God's duty of mediating yin and yang was born from the land, and he has always had a close relationship with the underworld, and can be classified into the system of earth gods and yin gods.
However, due to well-known reasons, the City God clan and the Underworld clan have gradually parted ways, giving a feeling of being like two local governors each doing their own thing.
Theoretically speaking, the Yue Mansion would not care about the life or death of the City God, nor would it interfere with the current City God system.
But near Mount Tai, it is obvious that the City God cannot act independently of the Yue Mansion, or in other words, only the City God from the Yue Mansion can take office on this private land.
When Gong Mengbi understood this, he understood why Wei Dapan asked him to go find the City God of Beihai if he had any business.
Wei Dapan saw his expression and knew that he understood, so he smiled and said, "I can't say about other places, but near Mount Tai, the Yue Mansion can still use some strength."
Gong Mengbi thanked Wei Dapan and said, "I will come back to thank Dapan after I catch the mastermind."
"You've already avenged the fox's blood. You can help them pass away peacefully, so there's no need to blame yourself too much."
"Does the judge also think the mastermind is difficult to catch?"
"It's easy to get rid of external thieves, but it's hard to prevent internal thieves. I'm afraid it won't be very smooth."
Gong Mengbi could only sigh and respectfully send Wei Dapan back to Yue Mansion.
Wei Dapan knew that this was an internal problem within the Fox Academy, which showed that the struggle within the Fox Academy was nothing new.
Gong Mengbi was mentally prepared, but the final results of the investigation were still not very good.
The Five Ghosts visited the village, and Gong Mengbi went to visit the City God of Beihai.
The City God of Beihai is very polite, always smiling, and doesn't seem to have any temper.
Gong Mengbi simply revealed his identity and stated his purpose, and the Beihai City God immediately sent people to investigate.
After checking the files and combining the image of the ghost fairy given by Gong Mengbi, the Beihai City God finally gave an answer.
"According to the files, this ghost immortal should be Xu Ji."
"Xu Jishi?"
"The ruins the immortal mentioned were originally the residence of the Xu family. The Xu family was a wealthy and virtuous family in Beihai, and they held considerable prestige in the area. Xu Ji was from Pei County and was very beautiful. After marrying into the Xu family, she and her husband were very loving and harmonious, and they were known for their deep affection."
"But later, the Xu family suffered a devastating fire, and more than ten members of the family were all burned to death. From the elders and mothers to the young children, all died in the fire, and Xu Jishi did not escape with her life. But now it seems that she had achieved success in her cultivation after her death and had become a ghost immortal."
Gong Mengbi asked, "After the fire, were the souls of the Xu family members extradited normally?"
The City God of Beihai frowned and said, "Of course, they were all extradited and sent to the underworld. If you don't believe me, the records of the handover are still here."
"Forgive my rudeness," Gong Mengbi said after reading the file. "It's not that I don't believe in the deity, but it's a little unbelievable. Since Xu Ji's soul has already been exiled to the underworld, how could it have become a ghostly immortal and returned to the human world?"
"I'm afraid there's something else going on."
"Thank you, Lord God. Can I borrow the Xu family's files?"
"Of course, you can take a look at it, but don't take it out."
"I know the rules."
This volume is actually a book of ghosts and gods, and it contains the words of ghosts and gods. What the wandering gods and little ghosts see and hear day and night is recorded in it.
Supervision by ghosts and gods is one of the important bases for determining good and evil, disaster and fortune.
Gong Mengbi flipped through the files quickly, and after reading them all, he understood that the Xu family truly deserved the title of wealthy, noble, and virtuous. Being wealthy and noble while still being virtuous and righteous was a rare quality. And the image of Xu Jishi, as recorded in the files, was also a model of a virtuous wife and mother.
"If we talk about fortune and misfortune, such a kind-hearted family should not suffer such a tragic disaster of annihilation." Gong Mengbi said.
The Beihai City God nodded and said, "I have also investigated this matter, but I have not found anything else. I can only attribute it to an accident."
Gong Mengbi returned the file and said, "Xu Ji's return to the human world from the underworld is probably not simple. If the God has any other clues, please help me."
"Does the Immortal have any clues?"
"The Xu family has suffered such a tragedy. Xu Ji has returned to the human world. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble the gods to thoroughly investigate everything that has happened to the Xu family in recent years."
This is an extremely tedious task, and it also takes a lot of time for the City God.
However, the City God of Beihai did not refuse and said, "This matter seems to involve quite a lot of people. I will send people to investigate, but I am afraid it will not be found in a short time. I hope you will be patient."
"If there is any news, please let me know."
Gong Mengbi placed a wisp of spiritual thought on the talisman, asking the Beihai City God to burn the talisman and summon him if he had any news.
The City God of Beihai also agreed.
Only after sending the immortal away did the City God of Beihai breathe a sigh of relief.
The left and right assistants asked behind the Beihai City God, "Sir, do you really want to investigate? This is not an easy task."
The Beihai City God said, "Check it out. He is a guest of the Yue Mansion and carries the mansion lord's divine talisman. We must not neglect him."
The assistants sighed and resigned themselves to searching the vast sea of files.
To go through all the files from those years, to trace back every little thing, big and small, and to question the living and the spirits that have not yet been extradited, it would take at least a year or two to finish the whole process. Even if it took a year or two to finish the whole process, there was no guarantee that even a single clue would be found.
Such hard work is time-consuming, laborious, tedious and has little effect. If it were not for the Yue Mansion, not to mention the complaints from the left and right assistants, even the City God of Beihai would have wanted to quit.
Gong Mengbi knew the difficulty of this matter, and also knew that his orders could not reach the City God, and this matter had nothing to do with the City God of Beihai, but he had no choice.
While cultivators possess immense powers, they are not omniscient. The lives of ordinary people are subject to very few uncertainties, so numerology can often be used to exhaust them. However, when it comes to cultivators, the variables are infinite, and numerology cannot fully understand them, so these simple methods must be used.
Gong Mengbi returned to the ruins of the Xu family, where the five ghosts were already waiting.
The information the five ghosts gathered was very similar to what the Beihai City God had said, and there was no new discovery.
After the five ghosts reported their findings one by one, they learned from Gong Mengbi that the Beihai City God was investigating the matter. They said, "The Xu family has the Beihai City God investigating, so why don't we investigate the Ji family?"
Gong Mengbi said, "You go to Pei County and investigate the Ji family. I will have the Skull God investigate the County Lady in Zhongli County. The County Lady's husband is surnamed Ji, and I'm afraid he's related to the Xu and Ji clan. Perhaps we can find out something."
"I need to go back to Tianhuyuan and look for another breakthrough."
