Bai Hongtu was horrified that this kind of blood-stained copper coin could absorb the energy and spirit of mortals.
As a member of Xuanmen, he naturally knows that over time, if the three souls and seven souls dissipate, the person will be dead.
"The water in Weicheng is a bit deep." Bai Hongtu said meaningfully.
"What's wrong, are you scared?" Li Yanchu asked.
"..." Bai Hongtu's smile froze.
"What are you talking about? I was just wondering if this situation looks like some evil god absorbing the power of faith from believers?" Bai Hongtu said.
Li Yanchu's expression changed and he said, "You don't mean the empress in blue, do you?"
Bai Hongtu spread his hands: "I just said it is somewhat similar, but now the talisman water has been replaced by blood money."
Li Yanchu fell into deep thought.
Bai Hongtu continued: "This matter is very difficult. Wei City is so big. Who knows how many copper coins turned into blood money."
"Except for people like us who are knowledgeable, ordinary people can't see it at all."
Bai Hongtu's eyes lit up and he said: "Inform the government about this matter, and the government will issue a notice ordering the people to bring their copper coins to the Yamen for us to identify?"
Li Yanchu pondered: "This is a good idea. I'm just worried that this kind of blood money is the mutation of ordinary copper coins."
Bai Hongtu was surprised: "Are you saying that blood money may be generated one after another?"
Li Yanchu said: "It is very possible, and it is the Qingyi Temple Fair now. There are many foreign tourists in Wei City, including many dignitaries. This matter has caused too much sensation, and the government may not support it."
Bai Hongtu chuckled and said, "You know the government's work style quite well."
Li Yanchu sighed: "Originally, my master didn't ask me to take it as my duty to save the world. It's just that evil spirits are needed. We, as Taoists, cannot ignore them."
"As you said, there are too many ghosts in Wei City and the water is too deep."
Bai Hongtu agreed: "That's right, we are only disciples of the younger generation, so there is no reason why evil spirits would happen to us."
Li Yanchu's eyes lit up and he said, "What do you think about the government coming forward to invite some Buddhist and Taoist experts?"
Bai Hongtu's words reminded him.
Bai Hongtu thought for a moment and said: "Most of the Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in the world are people who deceive the world and steal their reputation. There are not many people who have real ability."
"The famous ones like Longhu Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain, and Wutai Mountain are too far away from Weicheng. Besides, those experts may not be so easy to hire."
Li Yanchu stood up and said, "In that case, let's just do it stupidly. Let's work separately and tell the government to issue a notice to publicize the blood money. Then you and I will identify it and the government will collect the blood-stained copper coins."
"Then let the government invite Buddhist and Taoist experts to come to Weicheng to take charge."
"This matter is of great importance and cannot be decided by just words."
Bai Hongtu nodded and said, "That's all we have to do."
Li Yanchu added: "When you go to the government, you must explain that the blood-stained copper coins in the hands of the people must be exchanged for the people on a one-to-one basis."
Bai Hongtu raised his eyebrows: "This thing is an ominous thing, and they didn't rush to hand it over even if they knew about it."
Li Yanchu said: "Ordinary people live a poor life, and copper coins are very important to them. This is also to prevent someone from getting confused at a critical moment."
As a descendant of the Bai Hongtu family, a wealthy family, he did not expect these details.
After Li Yanchu reminded him, he nodded.
but.
Bai Hongtu suddenly frowned and said, "Wait a minute, why did I go to the government to inform this matter?"
Li Yanchu said: "You are the son of the Bai family in Jinchuan, so your words are naturally very important. Moreover, this matter is of great importance. It is a matter of great merit and fame in Wei City. I am doing this for your own good."
Bai Hongtu said: "That's what you said, but where are you going?"
Li Yanchu glanced at the opposite side and said, "I'm going to the Taiping Inn. I'll tell the landlady about this first, and then I'll check the copper coins in the inn."
Bai Hongtu: "......"
Bai Hongtu did not expect that Li Yanchu would do it for this reason, which was completely inconsistent with the traditional image of a hero or master who puts others before himself.
Bai Hongtu smiled bitterly and said, "Shouldn't you take care of the people of Weicheng first?"
Li Yanchu said unexpectedly: "Why? What is the relationship between the boss lady and me? If anything happens, I have to take care of her first."
Bai Hongtu was silent.
For no reason, he felt that there was some truth in what Li Yanchu said.
Li Yanchu smiled and said, "Stop thinking blindly and act separately."
Bai Hongtu was stunned for a moment, then went out and went straight to the government office.
...
After the lady boss heard about this, she was shocked at first, and then her eyes suddenly softened.
"You mean, after you found out about this, you came straight to me?" the landlady said softly.
Li Yanchu said confidently: "That's natural."
It's definitely not like going back and taking a long nap and then eating a bowl of tofu.
I don't.
The landlady's eyes flickered and she chuckled, "You have a conscience."
Li Yanchu blinked his eyes and said with a smile, "When did I lose my conscience?"
The landlady snorted softly, her mature style was really dazzling.
The copper coins in the Taiping Inn were quickly checked by Li Yanchu.
On the other side, Bai Hongtu rushed to the Yamen and met with Xuzhi County to inform him about the blood money circulating in Wei City.
Xu Zhixian was shocked.
This matter can be big or small.
Fortunately, although Xu Zhixian loves money, he still has his integrity as a scholar.
Immediately, the government officials were sent to arrest the people, a notice was posted about the matter, and a special house was set aside.
The yamen will provide the money and exchange it for the blood-stained copper coins in the hands of the people.
.......
With the Yamen taking the lead and investing a lot of manpower and material resources, this matter soon started to run on the right track.
A large number of people were responsible for maintaining order in Yamen Township.
To prevent blind thieves and robbers from causing trouble at this time.
However, the chance of this is very small. Even those gangsters who are brave and aggressive still have copper coins in their hands.
They are also afraid that having unjust money stained with blood on their bodies could lead to their own untimely death.
Moreover, Li Yanchu specifically asked the yamen to announce that there were evil spirits in Weicheng who sucked people's energy and spirit through wronged blood money, and changes might occur in the future.
Before the evil spirits are punished, it is likely that the government will organize large-scale inspections again.
It is estimated that no one will have any evil thoughts about wrongful blood money in a short time.
However, in order to prevent some smart people from fishing in troubled waters, the government still invested a lot of manpower to maintain order.
Li Yanchu and Bai Hongtu specially inspected the blood money.
Fortunately, this kind of wronged blood money can be seen by people who are knowledgeable in the mysticism without using the Zhanzhan Qi technique.
This matter is proceeding in an orderly manner.
After a busy day.
A total of 310 pieces of blood money were found.
"More than three hundred pieces of blood money, this thing seems to have not caused trouble to the entire Wei City."
Bai Hongtu sighed.
It seems like a lot, but for the entire Weicheng, this ratio is actually very small.
