846 Night Tour of the City God Temple
And there are beauties as beautiful as jade, whose souls are captivating and soul-stirring!
The allure of the cultivation technique has unfortunately found its way to you!
Never before! As soon as I was chosen, money rained down from the sky, wealth came from all directions, and secret manuals and beauties were delivered to my door. My life was instantly perfect!
His eyes turned slightly cold as he whispered, "[We've killed fifteen behind-the-scenes figures, wiped out five wealthy landowners, and completely erased the traces of several others. They must be the same kind of monstrous figures. Is it the Southern River Prefecture, or...]"
In front of the Xuzhou City God Temple, incense burns continuously, and even in the darkness of night, the fragrance wafts gently through the air!
Bu Yaoyao felt a complex mix of emotions. In the past, she had always been an observer, never getting involved. But in Xuzhou these past few days, she had witnessed all sorts of real things, which were even more astonishing than what was recorded in books. It truly was a case of reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles.
But they can all be bystanders, because they have never participated in it; those outside the music cannot understand its meaning!
However, I recommend a few people, and if they make a mistake, they should be punished. Why do I feel slightly uncomfortable, as if it is an unacceptable betrayal, as if I am doubting myself and finding it hard to believe?
The City God Temple is both magnificent and simple in scale. A large gate and an inner gate tightly lock the golden statue behind it. A light veil covers it, so its true appearance cannot be seen. It must have been an extremely beautiful City God!
A female City Goddess is a rare sight indeed!
Bu Yaoyao changed into a long robe embroidered with green bamboo and floral patterns, which fit her perfectly. Her long hair was simply tied up with a ribbon. Inside the gate, she lit an incense candle and quietly calmed her mind.
The troubles are minor, but they involve myself. I feel reluctant to do so. Are the rules here too strict?
He bowed slightly and whispered, "Some who recommended others have embezzled money, and some have accepted bribes. According to the law, they should be executed, but execution is too cruel. Shouldn't they be given a chance to reform?"
A single, gentle word brought a great sense of relief, clearing my mind of all distractions. Once it was spoken, everything was put to rest!
Suddenly, a strange aura wafted over him, and in an instant, he felt as if he had stepped into the inner gate without any obstruction. The scene was the same, but the light here was dim and seemed gray!
Before my eyes, there was a golden body, with the same robes and height as the City God, and such an exquisite face and holy aura, like a fairy, goddess, or Buddha!
Bu Yaoyao's expression gradually calmed down. Seeing the golden statue before her, she silently made up her mind, bowed slightly, and said, 'Greetings, City God!'
The female city god smiled slightly, her eyes scrutinizing Bu Yaoyao. Bu Yaoyao was dressed simply, her posture upright, like a green bamboo in a mountain stream, resilient and unyielding.
Her hair was as black as ink, hanging down to her waist. Her eyes were as deep as autumn water. At this moment, she let down her hair gently, like a proud plum blossom blooming in the cold. There was a sense of self-protection in her cold face!
With a soft, clear voice like falling jade, she smiled gently and said, "Miss Yaoyao possesses an ethereal beauty, captivating all who behold her, and a heart of compassion!"
When Bu Yaoyao first saw the City God speak, her smile was as beautiful as a flower, as gentle as a spring breeze. Her smile was captivating, her gentle frown and smile were charming and helpless, so beautiful that even fish and geese would fall from the sky. She herself forgot to breathe and forgot about the mundane world!
He lowered his head slightly, afraid that he himself would be bewitched by the female city god!
Liu Qianqian smiled gently, like a lotus flower blooming behind an embroidered curtain, and said softly, "I know your intentions, sister. Why don't you come with me to see them?"
Bu Yaoyao nodded slightly, her face flushed, "I'll follow your instructions, sister!"
Instantly, I felt my hand being gently held by a warm hand, and I was immediately astonished!
Led by the City God, we slowly arrived at a solemn place with a tall gate and a spacious area, from which there seemed to be a lot of noise.
A soft, jade-like voice reached her ears, "My name is Liu Qianqian. Those who linger here are wandering souls from the surrounding areas of Xuzhou, the spirits of those who died unjustly, formed by chance."
Bu Yaoyao followed Liu Qianqian slowly to the door. There stood two people, dressed in light armor, holding long swords, and possessing exceptionally beautiful and refined features, who bowed and greeted the Palace Master.
Then the door slowly opened.
Bu Yaoyao's mind reeled, an unbelievable thought flashing through her mind: 'Ghost soldiers!'
Liu Qianqian nodded slightly and said softly, "How did the interrogation go?"
A beautiful ghostly soldier said softly, "Your Highness, all the ghostly spirits in Xuzhou have been captured. General Shan and General Qing are out on patrol tonight and have not yet returned."
Among the new souls, some drowned in the river after coveting the spirit fish, while others were frightened to death by a tiger in the mountains.
Some were tempted and secretly plotted to win over officials in the city, but after the incident was exposed, they were silenced and harbored resentment!
In addition, there were also those who fled from Nanhe Prefecture, died on the way, and whose souls drifted here. After inquiring and collecting information, it was found that Nanhe Prefecture had just collected its fifth autumn tax!
It's that time of year again when the spring tax is collected. Those who can't pay the full amount are forced into corvée labor by their entire families, or are arrested and imprisoned. These are people who came to evade taxes, and they die on the way!
The subordinate said a few words, his eyes seemingly showing a hint of reluctance.
Liu Qianqian nodded slightly and whispered, "The perpetrators shall go through the oil cauldron!"
Let the other wandering spirits return to the heavens and earth!
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Liu Qianqian smiled slightly, sending a wisp of true energy into Bu Yaoyao's body, and whispered, "Little sister, are you a little scared?"
Bu Yaoyao looked surprised, shook her head slightly, and said softly, "I was a little scared just now, but with my sister here, I'm not afraid anymore!"
Bu Yaoyao's eyes forgot the past. The gathered spirits were dressed in different ways: some were simply dressed, some were richly dressed, some were vicious, some were ignorant, and some were kind!
Slightly puzzled, she slowly relaxed, feeling the warmth of Liu Qianqian's hand, and softly asked, "Sister, do people become ghosts after they die?"
Liu Qianqian smiled gently, her smile as warm as a spring breeze. With her smile, it seemed as if all things were revived, and the entire world brightened up with her every smile and frown.
Without letting go, Bu Yaoyao's spirit entered. It wouldn't be good if the yin energy damaged her spirit! She whispered, "No, only those with strong obsessions, or in certain special places and environments, can form yin spirits."
Bu Yaoyao's expression shifted slightly, and she asked softly, "These past few days, there hasn't been that chilling feeling in or outside the city. Did you collect all the wandering spirits from around here, sister?"
Liu Qianqian nodded slightly. Mr. Wang acted quickly. In Xuzhou, as long as a city was cleansed, if the city god was a rebel or the ancestor of the exterminator, the city god would be destroyed and replaced quickly!
Nowadays, Liu Qianqian basically enjoys the incense offerings from hundreds of millions of people in the Dalong Prefecture and Xuzhou region, while she sends out a clone to oversee things. Her own position in the underworld has long since broken through to the Martial Emperor realm.
Therefore, only in this yin realm can one find peace.
Without much explanation, he smiled slightly and was about to leave when he heard footsteps approaching, the sound of soldiers in armor and metal clashing.
A line of ten riders appeared, like celestial warriors descending to earth. Led by a female general, they exuded a commanding presence, their armor reflecting a cold light, as if the Milky Way had fallen.
