The Ghost Festival passed smoothly, and Miss Wen celebrated her first real birthday in her life. Although she and Lu Yi were alone, she was happy enough.
It's just that Lu Yi is still somewhat dissatisfied with the Lu family, and there was no sign from the family about the young lady's birthday.
It was really completely laissez-faire, no matter whether the young lady lived or died.
After a day of Yin Qi practice on the Zhongyuan Festival, Ye Ming's body became enough to fill a room.
The demonic aura is rolling around his body, and his magic power has increased a lot. The demonized version of "Green Ox Ginseng Syndrome" has actually reached the state of transformation!
The so-called reaching the state of transformation refers to pushing the progress of this skill to the limit. If you practice in the future, you will only increase your magic power, but not the progress of the skill.
Of course, the techniques to reach the state of transformation all work on their own, and there is no need to practice them deliberately.
When the skill reaches the state of transformation, there is no need to cultivate it.
At the very least, Ye Ming was far from Lao Niu's cultivation level at that time. After all, Lao Niu was a "Green Niu Ginseng Contract" who had been practicing for hundreds of years, and was far from comparable to Ye Ming.
But how long has Ye Ming been practicing this technique?
It's really incredible that his skills have reached the state of transformation in such a short period of time.
Ye Ming cultivated a special demonic energy in his body. This demonic energy circulates endlessly, even if it is placed in the sun, it will not be affected.
This is the original energy produced after the skill reaches the state of transformation. It should have been the original energy of Taoism, but Ye Ming used demonic energy to practice, so he naturally cultivated the original energy of demonic energy.
In addition to the improvement of "Qingniu Ginseng Tongyi", Ye Ming's cultivation level increased and he awakened several demonic spells.
They are the three spells: Demonic Blood, Demonic Palm Seal, and Imitation Death.
Not surprisingly, these three spells also require killing people to activate, requiring human blood, human hands, and human skin respectively.
After the three spells appeared, Ye Ming hurriedly left Miss Wen's courtyard, returned to the incense burner in the ancestral hall, and began to resist the killing instinct.
After enjoying all the benefits of its current status, it is now less and less willing to kill people easily. It should store all the "food" first. When enough is accumulated, it can be eaten in one bite, and then it will become the best in the world. The unparalleled devil!
This time, Ye Ming struggled with himself in the incense burner for two whole days before barely suppressing his instinct.
After coming out of the incense burner, Ye Ming felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
It seems that demons can continue to cultivate as usual without killing or cannibalizing people!
Later, Ye Ming discovered that there was a lot of information in his "Fortune and Righteous God" decree seal, which was sent by the Chenghuang Temple.
I haven't paid attention to the outside world for a few days, but I didn't expect that a lot of things happened outside.
During the Ghost Festival, more than 20 Yinmen died in the Fuchenghuang Temple, and more than 60 Yinmen died in other county-level and village-level lands.
According to reports, the number of casualties this year was higher than in the previous five years combined, making it the most disastrous year yet.
The superiors directly transferred the land from Yuejia Village and transferred it to the Fuchenghuang Temple to serve as a shady official.
The other party has lost its status as the "Fortune and Righteous God", and these eight villages are temporarily in charge of Ye Ming.
As long as he can survive another two months, Ye Ming will be officially appointed to take charge of eight villages.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise, and Ye Ming felt a little happy.
At the end of the message, there is a wanted list of demons and monsters that have not yet been eliminated.
The most eye-catching one is the new dangerous ghost, three thousand starving ghosts.
These three thousand starving ghosts are only born from the grievances of these dead people when thousands of people starve to death. They have extremely high cultivation levels and are not afraid of the sun. They are the most likely to appear and the most difficult to deal with in disaster years. One of the ghosts.
As long as there are people who are starving to death or about to starve to death within a hundred miles of this ghost, it will not be destroyed, and at most it can only be sealed.
The three thousand starving ghosts that appeared in Yeonhwa Prefecture were born in Gyeongju. As the victims arrived in Yeonhwa Prefecture, Lord Seonghyang personally took action, but he only wounded them and could not eliminate them.
Moreover, the three thousand starving ghosts who were injured became ferocious, and actually hurt Lord Fucheng Huang in turn, which was terrifying.
The wanted notice also specifically said that if anyone encounters this ghost, they can run away directly and it will not be considered as fleeing.
Looking at the wanted notice, Ye Ming thought for a moment that this was not a wanted notice. It was clearly an evacuation guide, warning everyone not to provoke this ghost.
Ye Ming naturally had no interest in provoking these three thousand starving ghosts. He wandered around the villages under his jurisdiction all day long, and went to Miss Wen's place to practice at night.
For some reason, the heavy rain has not stopped since the Hungry Ghost Festival, and it has been raining for half a month.
Rivers surged, mountains collapsed, and floods occurred in the Yanhua Prefecture area. A large number of victims were affected, and batches of people died.
At this time, neither the government's disaster relief nor that of Lu Yuanwai and others were of any use. In order to survive, some of the victims gathered under Yanhua Prefecture City and wanted to enter the city.
Some people choose to go to surrounding villages and towns to find a way to survive.
The situation near Laoyin Mountain was not peaceful either. Among the eight villages under Ye Ming's temporary jurisdiction, Zhaojia Village and Qingshi Bay located downstream were both flooded.
Fortunately, Mr. Bai had predicted in advance and mobilized people from both villages to go up the mountain, thus escaping the disaster.
But both villages were also destroyed.
Mr. Bai and Pang Yuan organized manpower and planned to merge the two villages into a new village. They braved heavy rain and built temporary shelters halfway up the mountain.
Other villages also know that at this time, only by helping each other can they tide over the difficulties. Although they have some complaints, they are still cooperative.
Soon, some victims arrived in the Laoyin Mountain area. Seeing that the villages here were living well, many hungry victims wanted to grab food.
Fortunately, the militia team was there and suppressed the rebellious victims.
It's just that this is a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution, and the victims will also pass the news to each other, knowing that there is a way to survive here, and they will come one by one.
Seeing this, Mr. Bai knew that if the trouble continued, something big would happen.
After all, no matter how many people live in a few villages, they cannot equal the number of victims.
Fortunately, Mr. Bai has a solution after all. At the critical moment, he came up with the method of working for relief.
They directly gathered the victims and asked them to help build shelters, while they provided food for the victims to ensure that no one would starve to death.
With Mr. Bai's move, the victims were immediately comforted. Moreover, in order to have something to eat, the victims worked desperately in the rain for fear of being driven away.
With the help of the victims, temporary shelters were quickly built.
However, victims are still arriving in a steady stream, and more and more people are gathering.
Seeing this, Mr. Bai simply became cruel. He selected the locations of five villages on the map and assigned the victims to build five villages. Once the villages were built, the victims would live in them.
When they heard that the houses were being built for themselves, the victims were so happy that they worked even harder.
As more and more people gather together, there are more and more problems. Mr. Bai, Pang Yuan and many of the original backbones of the eight villages are extremely busy...
They were busy, and Ye Ming was not idle at all.
When there were more victims, they were not the only ones who came. Many ghosts and ghosts also came with them.
In the past few days, night and day, I have been using my wish power body form to kill the ghosts and monsters that enter each village.
The three villages with ancestral halls were okay, Ye Ming could teleport directly there.
In the remaining few villages without ancestral halls, the villagers have statues of "General Ye Ming" placed at home. Although it can be guaranteed that Ye Ming can use his willpower to fight in their villages, there is no way to teleport and they can only rely on Ye Ming. Go on your own.
Running back and forth between several villages made Ye Ming very tired.
Fortunately, as long as there are people offering incense and having faith, the willpower will not be exhausted.
Ye Ming himself is not tired, but he can cope with it.
It just feels a bit embarrassing.
He is a big devil, so it's okay if he doesn't kill people, but he actually wants to save people, which is really ridiculous.
But Ye Ming feels that doing so is worth it. All those who believe in him are the best "storage food". When he eats them in the future, he can eat them one bite at a time without any effort.
Ye Ming kept telling himself that today's hard work is for tomorrow's harvest.
After encouraging himself, Ye Ming rushed to the next village.
After a period of chaos, the victims who came to Laoyin Mountain became orderly.
With the gradual restoration of order and the calmness of people's hearts, all kinds of evil and strange things have been reduced, and Ye Ming's pressure has been relieved a lot.
But Mr. Bai and others faced a big problem, that is, there was not enough food.
Originally, after they seized the grain stored by the bandits, it was enough to survive the crisis, but the appearance of so many victims made the food consumption faster.
Fortunately, Mr. Bai had anticipated this in advance and wrote to Yuan Wai Lu early in the morning asking for help.
Yuan Lu's character was not at all good, and he knew very well that it would not benefit anyone if the victims caused chaos, so he mobilized the prefect and many wealthy households in Yanhua Prefecture to support Mr. Bai with food supplies.
With the support of food, the Laoyin Mountain area gradually stabilized.
In this disaster, Mr. Bai's approach allowed the prefect to see a solution, and he also began to organize a work-for-relief approach to allow the victims to build bridges and pave roads to combat flood disasters.
The entire Yanhua Prefecture began a self-rescue operation...
Afterwards, the prefect personally praised Mr. Bai as "a great talent in the world".
This sentence spread like wildfire and became known to everyone. Mr. Bai's reputation in the entire Yanhua Mansion was immediately established.
In the blink of an eye, it is already September, and the flood disasters in Yanhua Prefecture have basically been resolved.
A large number of disaster victims settled near Laoyin Mountain, forming an area with 17 villages.
During this period, the City God's Temple was still short of manpower and sent a team of people to help Ye Ming clean up the ghosts that came with the victims.
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but Yao Jiandong and Qian Yuejia Village's land were among those who came.
Yao Jiandong was transferred from his position watching the prison due to manpower shortage.
After arriving, there were not many opportunities for the two parties to meet because they were both busy cleaning up ghosts and the like.
But every time they met, Yao Jiandong would stare at Ye Ming, as if I doubt you very much.
Ye Ming didn't get used to him either. He didn't give him any good looks and spoke with the smell of gunpowder.
The land in the former Yuejia Village was originally held after the death of an ancestor of Yuejia Village. After seeing Ye Ming, there is always a sense of resentment.
Ye Ming felt a chill, and it was really awkward to be looked at with resentment by a bad old man.
In mid-September, the prefect personally came to Laozhang Village, and the purpose was naturally to pay a visit to Mr. Bai, the current leader here.
As for the second-in-command Pang Yuan, he found an excuse to hide early in the morning and avoided seeing him.
There was no way, even though Ye Ming had helped to deal with his appearance, he still couldn't guarantee that there was no expert around the prefect who would recognize him, so it was better to avoid him.
After the magistrate and Mr. Bai chatted for a long time, they went to the "General Ye Ming" shrine to lay incense sticks.
Because in order to gain a sense of identity in a new place, disaster victims will naturally subconsciously look for common ground.
There is no doubt that Ye Ming has become the common visitor to everyone. Now in every new village, every household has a statue of Ye Ming.
Now that the prefect is offering incense again, Ye Ming's identity is finally confirmed.
In fact, this was also the intention of the prefect. Only by allowing the victims to stay here and not causing trouble can they be controlled.
And he successfully rescued the disaster and increased the population under his rule. Both were great achievements. It could be said that his promotion was already a certainty.
This is the reason why the prefect came here. It not only shows that he attaches great importance to the victims, but also shows that he is a polite and virtuous corporal.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!
