The scoundrels were so frightened that they banged their heads and kept banging.
For a long time, Zhang Tiesan felt that his skull was about to crack, and finally couldn't help but stop.
He glanced at the main hall of the ancestral hall and tried to kneel forward a little.
This time, he successfully entered the main hall.
Seeing this, the other rogues imitated his example and marched into the ancestral hall on their knees.
After successfully entering the ancestral hall, the gangsters hurriedly crawled to the altar, burned incense and kowtowed, and kept saying words of repentance.
Seeing this, other pilgrims were in awe of this "General Ye Ming".
He is a good god. This is the first time I have seen a god helping to deal with rogues.
The gangsters swore in front of the statue of "General Ye Ming" for a long time, promising to turn over a new leaf, and then left in fear.
This time, they didn't encounter any bad luck.
Looking at them, Ye Ming, who was floating above the incense burner, withdrew his mana.
It was not helping Zhang Wang, it just wanted to use these rogues to test the magic it had cultivated with pure demonic energy.
Facts have proved that it is feasible to use pure demonic energy to practice Zhengxuanmen's spells.
However, Zhengxuanmen's spells are all yang, but its demonic energy is yin, so the actual effect after practicing it will be different.
After confirming that the method was feasible, Ye Ming went back to studying the spell happily.
Little does it know that a rumor about "General Ye Ming's treatment of rogues" has spread.
At first, it was spread in several surrounding villages. Later, someone came to Fucheng for business and spread the news by the way.
One pass to ten, ten to a hundred...
This magical, down-to-earth, and quite relieving story has naturally become a hotly discussed topic.
Many people who have been bullied by thugs have a statue of "General Ye Ming" in their homes.
The enthusiasm for building ancestral halls in Shanghewan and Xiahewan has also increased. Who doesn’t want to have a real god in charge of things in the village!
Inexplicably, Ye Ming found that he received more incense wishes.
That night, while Ye Ming was busy practicing new spells, he suddenly felt a dark wind blowing outside the ancestral hall, bringing with it a stream of incense and wish power.
"Ye Ming, the God of Good Fortune, come out and meet me!"
The voice sounded unfamiliar, but the style of doing things was undoubtedly that of the City God Temple.
Some time ago, in order to avoid being exposed, Ye Ming might have used the Vow Power Dharmakaya to travel.
But this time there is no need, it has learned to change its shape.
The incense and wish power flowed through his body, and Ye Ming turned into a six-foot-tall young man.
If you look closely, you can clearly see what "General Ye Ming" looked like when he was a boy.
After the transformation was completed, Ye Ming checked it and found no flaws, then passed through the wall and came outside.
This time there were still seven Yinzai, one standing in front and six standing in the back.
These seven people are all in City God's Temple uniforms. The only difference from the last seven is that their waistbands have the word "Punish Evil" written on them.
I understand, this is the sinister work of the "Punishment of Evil Division".
The leader was a man with a thick beard. When he saw Ye Ming appear, he said directly:
"I am Zhang Decai, the deputy of the Punishment Department of the Chenghuang Temple in Fucheng.
Ye Ming, do you know your sin? "
"Sin, what crime? I didn't do anything."
Ye Ming was startled, thinking that his identity had been exposed, and was already thinking about how to escape.
"Isn't it a crime to interfere in ordinary people's affairs and impose rewards and punishments without authorization?"
"You mean this?"
"if not?"
"I'm just practicing magic, I'm not interfering in mundane matters."
"Humph, don't use clever words. We personally asked those people in our dreams. You still want to deny it?"
"Okay, then I admit it, what's the punishment?"
"Since it is your first time to commit a crime, and what you have done is a good deed, I will be given a lighter punishment and a month's incense will be confiscated!"
As Zhang Decai spoke, he took off the "Punish Evil" order from his waist. As soon as the magic power was activated, he saw that a lot of wish power was sucked away from the incense burner in the ancestral hall.
Ye Ming was very clear about the amount of wish power in the incense burner. The other person sucked up exactly one month of incense.
"The punishment is over."
"Is this the end?"
"Then what else do you want?"
"No, no, the punishment is fair."
"As long as you have no objection, there is one more thing you need to pay attention to. If you can make a contribution, not only can you make up for the incense confiscated this time, but you can also be rewarded with more incense."
"I wonder what's going on?"
"A few days ago, the Zhengxuanmen Dharma that Mr. Lu of Fucheng spent a lot of money to pray for for his young son was snatched away by a banshee. Now the city gods and landmen everywhere are looking for it.
If it passes through your territory, report it in time. If you are lucky, you will be rewarded with incense in March. "
"Banshee, what kind of banshee."
"I don't know. The banshee tried to conceal herself, and the bodyguard who was transporting the goods didn't even see her specific appearance, so she succeeded."
"I will pay attention. By the way, sir, I still have many questions to ask you..."
Ye Ming originally thought that Zhang Decai would not be able to stand his frequent inquiries. After all, this person seemed to be the type of person who was not easy to get along with.
Unexpectedly, the deputy of the Punishment Department turned out to be very patient and answered some of Ye Ming's questions one by one.
Now that Ye Ming had the confidence not to expose himself, and was not polite to him, he really asked a lot about Xu Country and about monsters and monsters.
Zhang Decai answered him carefully. It was not until his subordinates reminded him that it was time to go back that the Evil Punishment Secretary and his party left.
Before leaving, Zhang Decai emphatically said to Ye Ming, "Mortal affairs are managed by ordinary people."
After the Punishing Evil Secretary and his party walked away, Ye Ming returned to the ancestral hall and picked up the Zhengxuan Five Elements Method again.
Things seem to be getting serious. If the missing things cannot be found for a long time, will Zhengxuanmen send disciples out to look for them?
Forget it, don't think about those things that are there and not there. Who would have thought that the banshee didn't get anything at all, but that the thing was actually in her own hands?
However, the culprit in this incident seems to be Yuan Wai Lu.
It seems that someone else has put in a lot of effort in building my ancestral hall, and now I have taken someone else’s things. I feel really embarrassed when I think about it.
Bah, I'm sorry.
Harming people and making people bear grudges is what a devil should do. You have done a great job!
Just like this, another ten days passed, and Ye Ming learned all the spells in Zhengxuan Five Elements.
As for any banshee, I didn’t see it at all.
Not to mention the powerful banshee, even the lonely ghosts, I haven't seen a single one during this period.
However, an old man in the village died and his soul left his body.
At that time, Ye Ming realized that the old man was about to expire, so he stayed by his side to see what the normal state of death was like.
Speaking of natural death, it is not considered a natural death. The old man died of illness.
As the old man died, Ye Ming could clearly see that all the qi in the old man were dissipating rapidly, especially the yang qi, which dissipated very quickly.
On the contrary, resentment and the like dissipate very slowly.
When the old man died, his soul did not leave the body immediately, but stayed in the body for more than an hour before coming out of the body in a daze.
Ye Ming transformed into a young man early in the morning and was waiting nearby.
The old man looked at his current form in a daze, then at Ye Ming, and finally at his body lying on the bed.
"Am I dead?"
"Yes, dead, completely dead."
Old man:......
"Are you General Ye Ming?"
The old man looked at Ye Ming, he was obviously the young version of General Ye Ming.
"Yes, it's me. Now that you are dead, you are under my control for the time being.
Follow me to the ancestral hall to stay for a while, and I will notify the city god's messenger to pick you up. "
If he hadn't been curious about the natural death of a person, Ye Ming would not have done such a thing. When communicating with the old man, he seemed very casual.
"Yinshi picks me up, where will he pick me up?"
The old man followed Ye Ming a little dizzy.
The sun was still very bright outside, and if Ye Ming hadn't used incense to shield him from the sun, he would have been out of his mind.
"Go to the City God's Temple first, then transfer to the underworld."
"General, are you the one who takes care of all the deaths in the village?"
"You were the first one I picked up."
"What about before you?"
“Before I had no land, after I died, my soul would wander around the village.
If you're lucky, wait for about seven days and someone will pick you up. "
"What if I'm unlucky?"
“If you’re unlucky, you’ll either be struck by the sun and your soul will be gone.
Either he encountered a fierce ghost or a fierce spirit and made food rations. "
The old man was obviously frightened by what Ye Ming said, and followed Ye Ming back to the ancestral hall.
Naturally, Ye Ming would not invite him to live in the incense burner. He drove the person to the side hall to stay there. He took out the "Fortune and Righteous God" seal and reported the death of the old man.
Although Laozhang Village is nominally a village under the jurisdiction of Erfu County, since Yanhua Prefecture is closer, it has always been directly managed by Yanhua Prefecture.
Fucheng is less than eighty miles away from Laozhang Village. According to the news sent out in the afternoon of Ye Ming, two undercover men arrived with hooks and locks in the evening.
The reason why people wear hooks and other underworld magic tools is naturally because they are afraid that some people will not be reconciled after death and want to stay in the world, thus resisting law enforcement.
The old man obviously had no intention of resisting law enforcement. He had lived a miserable life. Now that he was dead, he was finally free. He would not do unnecessary things, and Yin Zhao took the person away effortlessly.
After sending away the bad news, Ye Ming returned to the old man's house.
It found that there was still a sense of resentment in the old man's body, which had not dissipated yet.
"Instructions for New Gods" said that if a person's resentment persists after death, it means that he had a lot of resentment accumulated in his heart during his life.
If such a person is buried in a place with strong Yin Qi, there is a certain possibility that his body will transform into a corpse.
The old man has been a miserable man all his life and has suffered from all kinds of anger.
If the anger cannot be vented for a long time, it will gradually accumulate into resentment.
Ye Ming could feel that the old man's grievances were mainly aimed at his eldest son and daughter-in-law, but he also had a lot of grievances against his other sons and daughters.
The farmer's family didn't have much spare money to pay for a large-scale funeral, so they just invited a knowledgeable Taoist priest to perform a ritual ceremony and then it was over.
Ye Ming discovered that the Taoist priest who did the work was an uncultivated person, but he was actually an ordinary person. He didn't know whether he was a fake or a wild Taoist priest.
On the day of the funeral, many people in the village helped carry the coffin.
Not far from the village is the outskirts of Laoyin Mountain, but that is all the land belonging to Yuan Wai of Fucheng. Without Yuan Wai Lu's permission, naturally no one can be buried.
The old man will be carried to a hill twenty miles away for burial.
It was broad daylight, and even though it was cloudy, I still didn't dare to leave the village at night.
It was not in a hurry. According to local custom, after it was carried to the place, the coffin had to be kept in the coffin for three days before being buried.
Ye Ming planned to wait until the old man was buried before going to see if it was possible for the old man to transform into a corpse.
