"Meet the emperor." Everyone paid homage to Cai Yulei, the Eastern Ghost Emperor. Cai Yulei smiled, looked at Fang Jian one more time, and then said, "You are all excused."
"Thank you, Emperor."
After everyone was calm, Cai Yulei asked: "Why are you fellow Taoists here?"
Fang Jian pointed to Guo Shi beside him and said, "I came to see the emperor this time because I encountered a strange thing. Fellow Taoist Guo, please tell me."
Guo Shi took a photo of the Eastern Ghost Emperor's power. He didn't dare to raise his head and stare. He was slightly shocked when he heard the words. Then he mustered up his courage and began to slowly tell the story of the thirty imperial guards who lost their souls.
After hearing this, Cai Yulei couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Oh? There is such a strange thing?"
What surprised him was not that the thirty Jin Yiwei lost their souls. What surprised him was that even Fang Jian couldn't find where the souls of those Jin Yiwei had gone.
Fang Jian's ability was recognized by Heavenly Court as not inferior to that of Zhenjun Erlang, so Cai Yulei joked to Fang Jian, "Can't you imagine that there are things in this world that can stump fellow Taoist Dao Fang?"
Fang Jian: "..."
Seeing that Fang Jian was speechless, Cai Yulei immediately stroked his beard and smiled, and then said: "Well, in that case, let me help you find it."
After saying that, Cai Yulei made a move with his right hand, a golden light flashed by, and the Eastern Ghost Book immediately appeared in Cai Yulei's hand.
Just listen to Cai Yulei say: "This is the Eastern Ghost Book. As long as it is in the territory of Dongsheng China, no matter what magical powers or spells, as long as the soul is still there, it can be made invisible."
Then Cai Yulei opened the Eastern Ghost Book and looked it up directly without asking the names of the thirty Jinyi guards.
In the hall, there was only the sound of flipping books. After an unknown amount of time, Cai Yulei suddenly looked serious and said, "Found it."
Fang Jian looked at Cai Yulei's serious face and thought he hadn't found it, but he said he had found it. Could it be...
Fang Jian asked: "Emperor, do you know who the person who hides the soul is?"
Cai Yulei did not answer, but put away the Eastern Ghost Book, then ordered a magic talisman to be sent to Fang Jian and said: "You can take this talisman to the Earth Temple in Dengyun Town and burn it with real fire, and you will know everything."
"I dare to ask the Ghost Emperor." Guo Shi asked quickly: "I wonder where their souls are hidden?"
Dongfang Ghost Emperor raised his hand and pointed at the talisman in Fang Jian's hand and said, "It's all here."
After saying that, Dongfang Ghost Emperor said to Fang Jian again: "Fellow Daoist Dao Fang, there is something fishy behind this matter, it's up to you."
Hearing this, Fang Jian understood that there was someone behind this, so he nodded and said, "Xiaodao understands."
Afterwards, Fang Jian and his party bid farewell to the Eastern Ghost Emperor, left Taozhi Mountain, and returned to the Earth Temple in Dengyun Town, Jinzhou.
When the land god Jiang You saw Fang Jian and his party coming back, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is it? Has the City God found out?"
Hei Hai'er said: "The City God didn't find out, but the Ghost Emperor of the East did."
"You actually found the Eastern Ghost Emperor?!" Jiang Ming was immediately surprised.
At this time, Fang Jian had already taken out the magic talisman and lit it with real fire under the eyes of everyone. There was only a "coaxing" sound, and the magic talisman burned out immediately.
But the talisman paintings on the burned-out temple shone with bright golden light, and the golden light expanded with a "crash" sound, directly covering the entire earth temple.
Then everyone noticed that the area around the Earth Temple shrouded in golden light suddenly became pitch black. Jiang Ming asked in shock, "Why is it so dark?"
"It's not dark." Fang Jian said, "This is the method of tracing the flow against the light."
"How to trace back the light?" Guo Shi asked blankly.
Hei Hai'er looked at Guo Shi and explained: "To put it simply, it is a spell that can go back in time and space, and can reproduce the history of a certain time."
"That's it." Guo Shi suddenly realized.
"Someone is coming." The Earth God Jiang Ming suddenly stared at the front of the Earth Temple and shouted.
Everyone turned around and saw an old, hunched figure approaching from a distance, slowly holding a lantern.
Arrive in front of the Earth Temple.
When Guo Shi saw this man's appearance clearly, he exclaimed: "The Muramasa of Duozi Village."
"But he is a mortal." Hei Haier said doubtfully.
Fang Jian said: "Let's see what he wants to do first."
Everyone looked on and saw that Duozi Cunzheng came to the Tutu Temple. He neither lit incense nor burned paper. Instead, he hung a lantern aside and took out a stack of thin and small paper packets from his arms. .
He held the stack of paper bags and looked around. When he saw no one around, he walked up to the God of Earth, covered the eyes of the statue of the God of Earth, then raised the statue of the God of Earth, and placed all the small paper bags on the ground. Under the statue of the Earth God.
After arranging the small paper bags, Muramasa put the earth statue back to its original place and used the earth statue to suppress all the small paper bags underneath.
Then the Muramasa picked up the lantern and left as if no one was around. As the Muramasa left, the power of the talisman was also exhausted, the golden light dissipated, and everyone was freed from the method of tracing back the light.
Guo Shi and Hei Hai'er were confused. They only knew that the village leader of Duozi Village seemed to have put something under the statue of the Earth God.
But when they raised their heads to look at Fang Jian and the land god Jiang You, they saw that their faces were extremely serious.
"Master." Hei Hai'er said, "It seems like something has been pressed under the statue of the Earth God in those villages."
Fang Jian sighed and said, "Those things are souls."
"What?!" Guo Shi and Hei Hai'er were shocked, and Fang Jian continued: "Those small paper bags contain the souls and feet of the thirty Jinyiwei Xiaoqi. Duozi Village is using paper to copy them. Their souls were wrapped up at their base and feet, and then pressed under the statue of the Earth God, so we know that their souls are still in the human world, but we can’t find them, and this is the reason.”
"But he is just a mortal." Hei Haier said with a look of disbelief.
The land god Jiang Yu said: "You don't need magic power to do this kind of thing. Those Jinyi guards are stationed in Duozi Village and come and go in Duozi Village on weekdays. It is not difficult for the village leader to catch them. "
"How to catch him?" Hei Haier suddenly became interested and asked curiously.
Jiang Ming glanced at Hei Hai'er but didn't answer. Fang Jian raised his hand and patted Hei Hai'er on the back of the head and said, "You must learn it well. This kind of magic is different from the magic we commonly use. It is a magic strictly prohibited by the "Articles of Heaven". You Just using it once will seriously violate the rules of heaven, so don’t learn from it.”
"Oh." Hei Haier responded, rubbing the back of his head.
At this time, Jiang Ming said to Guo Shi, "Fellow Daoist Guo, please take out the legs from under my statue."
"I'll do it." Fang Jian said to Jiang Min.
Jiang E glanced at Fang Jian and nodded. Then Fang Jian stepped forward and lifted the statue of the earth god. Sure enough, a pile of flattened paper bags appeared.
Fang Jian waved his hand and collected all the paper bags, then walked to the side of the Earth Temple, and opened the paper bags one by one with Hei Hai'er and Guo Shi on his back. Hei Hai'er only saw that Fang Jian seemed to be taking something out of the paper bags. After pouring it out, a spiritual light flew towards Songjiang Fucheng.
When Fang Jian opened all the paper packages and released them, Hei Haier only saw a pile of square pieces of paper on the ground.
"Okay, Fellow Daoist Guo, you can go back to Songjiang Fucheng now. Your men are fine." Fang Jian said to Guo Shi.
When Guo Shi heard this, he immediately bowed his hands to Fang Jian and said, "Thank you so much, fellow Taoist, for your help. I would also like to ask you to stay in Songjiang Fucheng for a few days, so that I can thank you."
Fang Jian waved his hand and said, "There's no need to thank you, I still want to go to Duozi Village."
When Guo Shi heard this, he said, "Oh? Guo will also rush to Duozi Village after returning to Songjiang Fucheng. In this case, please ask fellow Taoist to stay in Duozi Village for a while. Guo will arrive soon."
Fang Jian smiled, and then Guo Shi said goodbye and left. Fang Jian also said goodbye to the land god Jiang Ming, and then took Hei Hai'er all the way to Duozi Village.
After arriving at Duozi Village, Fang Jian and Hei Hai'er disappeared and went directly to Cun Zheng's home.
It was noon at this time, and the Muramasa family was having lunch.
It's quite rich.
Fang Jian raised his hand and pointed at Muramasa, who was holding meat for his grandson, and said, "Go and check his memory."
Hei Haier sang, then flew forward and came behind Muramasa, raised his hand and pressed it on Muramasa's head.
As Hei Haier used his magic power, Muramasa suddenly stiffened, then his eyes turned white and his whole body trembled. The whole family was shocked.
Ingesting a mortal's memory couldn't be easier. After only three breaths, Hei Hai got Muramasa's memory and said, "I found it."
"Yeah." Fang Jian nodded, and then said to Hei Hai'er, "Get out of here first."
As Fang Jian and Hei Hai'er left, Muramasa suddenly returned to normal again. The anxious Muramasa family saw that Muramasa returned to normal, and then they breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately began to ask Muramasa about it again. What happened just now?
Muramasa was also confused. He didn't know anything for a moment, but he didn't feel any physical discomfort. So seeing the concern of his family, Muramasa smiled and was about to speak, but suddenly his feet began to tremble violently. , there was also a "rumbling" sound in his ears.
Just when Muramasa's family was panicking and wondering what was going on, they suddenly heard someone outside shouting: "It's not good, it's not good, Diao'er Mountain has collapsed."
The Muramasa family was shocked and hurriedly ran out of their house to look at Diaoer Mountain. They saw that most of Diaoer Mountain collapsed. The first thing that fell to Duozi Village was not the collapsed Diaoer Mountain rocks and soil. Those thousands of hanging coffins, and the dense mountain of bones.
These collapsed hanging coffins and corpses killed half of the people in Diaoer Village on the spot, and then half of Diaoer's rocks and soil were like a violent tsunami, directly burying the entire Diaoer Village.
Hei Hai'er, who was standing in mid-air, opened his mouth in surprise when he saw all this, while Fang Jian looked towards the remaining half of Diao'er Mountain and saw a faint divine light over there. It was obvious that Diao'er Mountain's The collapse was caused by the mountain general of the mountain temple that governs the mountains and rivers of Songjiang Prefecture.
General Fenshan received the decree from the mountain god, and the mountain god naturally received the decree from Emperor Dongyue.
"The time has come, evil will be punished." Fang Jian said slowly, looking at the thick soil buried together with the hanging coffins of the dead babies.
