"Magistrate, what's wrong with you?" Luo Yong turned his head and found that Magistrate Chen was indeed foaming at the mouth and his legs were twitching, as if he had gone mad.
Luo Yong couldn't help but reflect on himself. Had he really run that fast? He had actually exhausted the county magistrate to the point of foaming at the mouth. This was truly a sin!
"Your Excellency, please take a rest. Let me handle the rest!" Luo Yong felt a rare pang of guilt.
"Wait, wait!" County Magistrate Chen was no longer in the mood for guessing; he was feeling quite uneasy.
In this pitch black, what was Luo Yong doing bringing him to this desolate wilderness? His legs were trembling; he was genuinely terrified!
"Explain yourself! What exactly are we going there to do?"
Luo Yong had no choice but to stop and briefly explain what he had found out earlier. He didn't say much, but Chen, the county magistrate next to him, was already so frightened that his hair stood on end.
He jumped up instantly and roared, "What? You're taking me to such a dangerous place? No way! I have to leave! I don't want to investigate these terrifying creatures; those evil spirits could swallow me whole!"
Luo Yong's eyes lit up: "Your Excellency, you know about demons and monsters too! Have you ever seen them? That's great! An experienced helper is much better than a clueless coward!"
Magistrate Chen's eyes widened: "You're calling me a coward? I'm a dignified magistrate, an official appointed by the imperial court. How could I be a coward? How dare you speak to me like that? Do you even want to stay in the county office?"
"I'm sorry, Magistrate, I misspoke. How could you be a coward? You are a very important official appointed by the imperial court! So, let's hurry up and go, lest those guys all run away!" Luo Yong was extremely anxious; he still wanted to find out the truth!
The extra time wasted could have resulted in many more people being harmed!
"Let's go, let's go!" County Magistrate Chen followed, trembling, wiping the foam from the corner of his mouth and straightening his legs.
Luo Yong quickly praised from the side, "Magistrate, you are truly very brave! Shall we speed things up a bit more?"
County Magistrate Chen: "..."
In front of the mountain god temple.
Yu Luo watched as these people performed their rituals while checking the amount of faith points that had increased.
In fact, the faith value has been rising rapidly since yesterday. The two daughters-in-law of the Wu family provided a lot of faith value, and today, the old lady Gongsun brought these villagers to worship again, so the faith value rose a little more.
However, these 8,000 faith points are still not enough to break through to the level of trainee deity in one fell swoop. It all depends on the blessing that follows.
Yu Luo checked the system panel for a while, then selected a few believers with faith values exceeding one hundred. For every ten believers who received a blessing, she could draw an ability once. Now that nine people had received the blessing, she planned to draw eleven people, which would allow her to draw two abilities at once.
She soon discovered that most of the villagers with more than one hundred faith points were the same people that Old Lady Gongsun had sent to do tasks before. They probably witnessed the terror of the Goddess of Fertility and felt that they were not bad as mountain gods, so their faith became even more devout.
Yu Luo stood atop the mountain god temple and gently waved to the chosen group.
The next second, led by Cui Ying, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wu family, all the elderly and young women who had previously performed tasks in those mansions subconsciously raised their heads.
The brocade pouches that had been hanging on them floated up, and green leaves flew up automatically, slowly merging into the brows of these women.
They felt a warm sensation surrounding them, a feeling completely opposite to that they had experienced when they entered the other houses.
If those courtyards were cold and gloomy, making one's hair stand on end, then this warm feeling is like basking in the spring sunshine, feeling the gentle spring breeze surrounding you, and being in a garden full of colorful flowers.
The surrounding villagers all looked on with envy. To be blessed by the mountain god was such an honor!
The men who saw their wives' foreheads glowing were overjoyed. Their wives being blessed was like their families being blessed, and they could walk with their heads held high in the village from now on!
"Why are you so happy?" His father rolled his eyes at him.
"Father, I'm so happy for Xinxin! She was able to gain abilities because the Mountain Goddess gave her a mission. If I work hard in the future, I'm sure I can also gain abilities!" said the third son of the Wu family happily.
"Father, judging from your expression, you don't think that because Mother also received the blessing of the Mountain Goddess, you won't be as powerful as Mother in the future, do you?" he asked suspiciously.
Wu Fengchun: "..."
"What are you saying? How can you talk like that?"
"Shh, keep your voice down! The Mountain Goddess is bestowing blessings!"
"You know what's going on, yet you still speak?"
"Dad, didn't you say that first?"
…
"Sister-in-law, what do you feel?" Liu Xin opened her eyes, feeling the warmth in her body, and unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth.
“I feel…” Cui Ying’s expression grew increasingly strange.
"Sister-in-law, I feel like my ears are more sensitive now. I can hear the wind from far away!" Liu Xin was very curious about everything and wished she could just sit down and listen carefully to the sounds of the outside world.
Cui Ying finally couldn't stand it anymore. She shook her right hand, trying to get rid of the heat.
However, contrary to her expectations, what was thrown out was not hot air at all, but a long fire snake. This fire snake was incredibly agile, and after being thrown out, it even opened its mouth wide and roared.
