"Privately cast a golden body and gather incense?"
Ye Qing was a little confused.
Yang Guan seemed to see Ye Qing's doubts and explained in a low voice: "Chu does not respect immortals and gods, so it rarely enshrines the mountain god He Bo. Therefore, the common folk statues of immortals and gods are mostly made of clay and rocks. Only the immortals and gods ennobled by the imperial court are allowed to cast their statues in gold, collect incense, and finally condense them into golden bodies.”
"The laws of Dachu state clearly stipulate that without the imperial decree, those who privately cast gold statues and gather incense to offer sacrifices in obscene temples must demolish their temples, destroy their idols, destroy their three souls, and anyone associated with them shall be punished according to the law. The immigrants' families were ransacked and their homes were thrown into jail."
"That's it!" Ye Qing suddenly realized, no wonder Yan Yufei suddenly became so angry.
"Back off!" Suddenly, Ye Qing's eyebrows jumped, and he reached out to pull Yang Guan beside him and retreated to the door.
At the same time, the statue of the Evil General, which was originally a dead object, suddenly opened its eyes, and bright golden light burst out like a substance, blazing and hot.
"Bold, who are you, dare to disturb this god?"
Accompanied by the bright and blazing golden light, a majestic and immortal voice sounded in the hall.
"A wild festival in an obscene temple, a little weirdo, how dare you claim to be a god?" Yan Yufei's clothes were covered with windless clothes, and there was a solemn and majestic aura surrounding him.
Under the collision of the two breaths, the hall trembled and the wind howled.
"How brave, a mere mortal dares to insult this god, you deserve to die!"
The evil-punishing general roared angrily and turned his head. His originally kind-hearted face turned into a ferocious look. His eyes erupted with scorching golden flames. The six weapons in his hands were swung downwards. The flames surged and golden light bursts seemed to represent the sky. Punishment!
"Humph, the violent wind in the world is so angry that it doesn't stop, it even blows down the stars like rain!" Yan Yufei said calmly and composed a poem. Amidst the loud voice, a gust of wind first whipped up out of thin air in the hall. The wind howled and was as cold as The knife and the sky filled with flames were unable to get close to Yan Yufei for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, the wind blew away the clouds, and rain began to fall in the hall, like stars falling from the sky. Heavy rain fell, and the raging flames were extinguished inch by inch.
"With the Dragon Qi of the Emperor and the great power of humanity, with the help of the power of mountains and rivers, the power of heaven and earth is derived, which is even better than that of warriors of the same realm!"
Ye Qing nodded slightly. Of course, Yan Yufei's poem about wind and rain extinguishing the sun seems to be like having the Constitution of Heaven in his mouth, following his words, and having infinite power. However, it only relies on the power of mountains and rivers, not his own strength. In addition, the evil-punishing general in front of him is just a weirdo who has not been sealed by the imperial edict. He looks majestic and powerful, but it is just an illusion. His true strength is only in the late stage of Qi Condensation at most, and is not blessed by the power of mountains and rivers at all. Yan Yufei's opponent, that's why the previous one-sided situation happened.
"Wu Huan, can your Excellency win?" Yang looked at the situation in the hall and asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, that General of Punishing Evil is just a blood-level monster. He's not much stronger than you. He's not a threat!" Ye Qing said leisurely.
"Oh!" Yang Guan responded, but he always felt that the words were wrong. What do you mean, he is not much better than me, and there is no threat. Who do you look down on?
"Roar"
At this time, General Punishing Evil roared angrily, and with six weapons in his hand, including axes, axes, swords, hooks and forks, they all struck at Yan Yufei.
The statue of the General Punishing Evil was three feet high, with a tall body, and the six weapons in his hands were also huge. They were so powerful and heavy that they fell together, splitting the wind and rain in the hall.
"According to the laws of Dachu: no incense is allowed in wild sacrifices in obscene temples!"
Yan Yufei's eyes were majestic, and a square of seals appeared above his head, which was the official seal of the Anyang County magistrate.
The official seal is in charge of the rivers and mountains of the land, so it is in four directions, representing the four poles of mountains and rivers; it is in charge of the people's livelihood in a place, so there are paintings of farming and animal husbandry carved around it, which represents asking for orders for the people; therefore, the official seal is also called the mountain and river seal, or the people's livelihood seal.
With one seal, I will be able to hunt and hunt on behalf of Heaven, and I will control all directions and eight poles.
Just as he finished speaking, the official seal suspended above Yan Yufei's head emitted a bright golden light, majestic and solemn, but it was different from the messy and superficial majesty of the general who punished evil, but a real and heart-stopping majesty. It is solemn and solemn, as high as the sky, as thick as the earth, and as vast as the people!
Under the golden light, General Punishing Evil was like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun. A foul and smelly black gas came out of his body, and the warm golden light surrounding him seemed to have been deprived of it, slowly disappearing, and he was made of gold. There are cracks on the golden body.
"ah……"
When the power of the incense was deprived of, the aura of the punishing general fell at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. The falling ax, sword, and hook also appeared weak and weak, and were easily blocked by the golden light emanating from the official seal.
"According to the laws of Dachu: if you receive incense privately, you should be suppressed and executed!"
Yan Yufei stretched out his hand and pressed it, the official seal rotated, the golden light turned into chains, entangled the body of the Punishing Evil General, making it difficult to move, and then a long sword appeared in the air. The long sword was square, blunt but not sharp. , but it has a majestic and upright feeling.
A gentleman's sword is a gentleman's sword if it is square. It is a sword given by the emperor before every official takes office. May its sword be as square as a gentleman's sword!
"Sir, slow down!"
Suddenly, Ye Qing shouted. Hearing this, Yan Yufei's men subconsciously slowed down their movements. At this moment, Ye Qing had already flown up and flew over the head of General Punishing Evil.
"I come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a palm pressed down and landed on the head of General Punishing Evil. With all his strength, General Punishing Evil's body exploded. For a moment, gold shards flew everywhere, smoke filled the air, and the hall was covered.
"Ahem..."
For a moment, everyone covered their mouths and noses with their hands and coughed violently.
However, no one noticed that in the moment when the smoke was filled, Ye Qing reached out and put a piece of the dim golden heart into the mountain and river shell.
After a while, the gold dust and smoke dissipated. At this time, the hall was in a mess, and everyone was covered with a layer of gold dust, shining with golden light.
"Wu Huan, what did you just do?" Yan Yufei had an official seal to protect his body. He was not as embarrassed as everyone else, but he was quite confused about Ye Qing's last actions.
Ye Qing touched his head and smiled awkwardly: "It's nothing. When I saw General Punishing Evil for the first time, I wanted to kill one, but in the end I couldn't control my strength. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Try killing one? What hobbies?
Everyone was full of doubts, but Yang Guan stared at Ye Qing curiously, half-smiling but not smiling: "Wu Huan, I didn't expect you to hide your secrets?"
Ye Qing said modestly: "Not bad, a little better than you!"
Yang Guan: "..." After all, what kind of personal attack are you doing?
"By the way, sir, this matter is not simple. There must be someone behind the scenes. You'd better send someone to investigate!" Ye Qing ignored Yang Guan and said seriously to Yan Yufei.
Yan Yufei nodded, he naturally knew that this matter was not simple. Hiding the golden statue of the General who punished evil in the statue of the City God to gather incense was obviously done by someone.
According to the laws of Dachu, this matter must be investigated to the end, so he did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered: "When someone comes, immediately bring the temple worshipers of the Chenghuang Temple and other relevant personnel to the county government for strict interrogation. The relevant personnel, Never let it go!"
"yes!"
Yan Feng and Yang Guan clasped their fists and accepted the order.
But at this moment, a policeman suddenly burst in from outside the door and said in a panic: "Sir... Sir, something happened!"
"What happened?" Yan Yufei asked.
The policeman said in panic: "Chen Lin, Wei Gang, Yuen Long, they are dead!"
"Dead?! Lead the way!" Yan Yufei said coldly, and was led by the policeman to the courtyard.
As soon as they arrived at the courtyard, Yan Yufei and others saw a group of government officials lying on the ground, and everyone couldn't help but take a breath.
Because all the government officers and police officers had ordinary facial features and had lost their eyes, ears, mouth, nose and other five senses, making them look very weird and terrifying.
Yan Feng took a deep breath, stepped forward to check, took off the tokens from his waist, and after identifying them one by one, replied to Yan Yufei: "Sir, the deceased are Detective Chen Lin and Wei Wei. Gang, Ma Yuanlang, and Yamen servants Zhuang An, Yang Zhen, and Tang Yang, a total of six people."
"These six people don't have any injuries on their bodies, except... they only have missing facial features, and the cause of death is unknown!"
Yan Yufei took the identity token from Yan Feng's hand with a cold expression: "What on earth is going on? Who killed them?"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
"Besides Chen Lin and the other five, was there anyone else in the courtyard just now?" Ye Qing glanced at the six corpses in front of him and asked.
"Yes, yes, in addition to them, there are also temple blessings from the City God's Temple!" a police officer replied.
"Miao Zhu?" Yan Yufei's eyes were gloomy: "There is no body of Miao Zhu at the scene. There are only two reasons. One is that Miao Zhu was captured by thieves, and the other is that Miao Zhu is the murderer."
"Master Yan, the mastermind behind the secret punishment of evil generals in the City God's statue must be the steward of the City God's Temple or someone with high authority who can preside over the repair of the statue, otherwise it would be impossible to do this. And in this City God's Temple , only Miao Zhu can do this. Now he has disappeared inexplicably, so this Miao Zhu is the most suspicious!" Ye Qing's eyes flickered and he analyzed slowly.
"Yeah, not bad!" Yan Yufei agreed: "Yan Feng, take the people to spread out the documents immediately and search for the blessings of the City God's Temple. Anyone who can provide clues will be rewarded!"
"yes!"
"Yang Guan, take the rest of the people back and interrogate them carefully. Don't slack off!"
"yes!"
"Chu Nan, take the others, collect your dead brother, and bring him back to the county government office so that he can be buried alive!"
"yes!"
After Yan Yufei finished giving instructions one by one, as soon as he walked out of the City God's Temple, a group of extraordinary people suddenly came to greet him.
"Master Yan, what happened?" At first, a strong and rough-looking general wearing armor stepped forward and asked.
"Youxian Lieutenant, you came just in time. Send people immediately to bulldoze and destroy the City God's Temple!"
Yan Yufei said in a serious voice: "In Anyang County, there are people who actually dare to use gold to cast a statue of the general who punished evil, and hid it in the statue of the city god. Not only did he accept incense and offerings, but he also killed innocent people indiscriminately, with no regard for human life. If I hadn't traced this, I would have discovered it. There are clues, it will definitely lead to a catastrophe!"
