Seeing this news, Ye Ming had to sigh, it is better to be in troubled times.
For evil spirits, troubled times are really the best breeding ground.
In the peaceful and prosperous times, if a ghost wanted to cultivate to the point where he was not afraid of the sun, it would have taken at least several decades without special circumstances. But now, it only takes a few days. This speed is quite exaggerated.
Thinking back to the three thousand starving ghosts before, I have to say that Ye Ming was a little envious.
Look at other people, how easy it is to cultivate, and then look at yourself, after all the hard work, for so long, you can barely be better than them.
But Ye Ming, who had already set a lofty goal, would not change his path at this time.
Anyway, it’s like this, it’s better to “take the road to the dark side”.
While Mr. Bai was busy with the defense affairs of various villages and towns, he also did not forget to pay attention to the situation in the capital.
Now, over in Fucheng, the prefect is preparing his soldiers to fight, and at the same time, he is urgently expanding his troops.
In addition, he also wrote to Chenzhou in the north to report the situation here.
It's just that the person who led the troops to Chenzhou to encircle and suppress Dong Lushan's rebels was Lord Zhou Mu's son-in-law, Shen Qixian.
Now the two sides in Chenzhou are in a tug-of-war, with you going back and forth.
In this situation, it will take at least a year and a half to determine the winner.
The prefect doesn't have much hope for Chenzhou to return aid, so he can only rely on himself and wait for others.
He himself is a mediocre official with average abilities. When encountering such a big event at this time, he can only ask his mentor Lu Yuanwai for advice.
Lu Yuanwai mobilized a large number of connections to help obtain various armaments and recruited many troops to fight against Wu Shun's rebel army.
This time, it was rare that all the important officials and wealthy families in Yanhua Mansion took action together.
We usually cooperate so actively, but we are still thinking about how to make money from the poor.
This time, it was really not easy to spend money together.
In the next two days, there was no peace in all areas of Yanhua Prefecture, and all kinds of ghosts and evil spirits emerged one after another.
The land of powerful mountain gods, like Ye Ming, can handle everything.
Those who are not strong enough can only protect themselves, but are mostly powerless against the people under their jurisdiction.
The closest place to Laoyin Mountain, but not within Ye Ming's jurisdiction, is a town called Guaizi Town.
This town is named after a hundred-year-old kidnapping tree outside the town.
Many villagers worship this tree as a god.
Over time, the tree gained spirituality and took on the responsibilities of both the mountain god and the land.
Since it is not a normal way to cultivate into a demon, the spirituality of the Laoguaizi tree depends entirely on the power of wishes.
In normal times, he could still keep the town safe, but recently he couldn't.
There are so many evil spirits that it is difficult to deal with them.
Even though Laoguaizi tree tried its best, it could not stop many evil spirits. In this way, all kinds of strange things happened one after another in the town in the past two days.
The townspeople begged the Laoguaizi tree many times, but to no avail.
Even the few people in town who knew how to exorcise evil spirits could not drive away all the evil spirits.
There was even a person who failed to exorcise the evil spirit and was possessed instead. Now he is going crazy and scratching his own face.
It was better to be tied up by a group of people.
The townspeople were panicked and somewhat helpless.
At this time, someone suggested asking an expert to perform exorcisms.
Others immediately agreed.
The most famous person recently is undoubtedly Taoist Master Jin Guang.
The townspeople raised funds and asked Taoist Priest Jin Guang to come and ward off the evil spirits.
Taoist Priest Jin Guang, who was approached to beg for help, suddenly panicked.
What he wants to get rid of this time is really evil, how can he do it!
Although there are three life-saving light points given by Ye Ming in his hand, they can only be used three times.
After three times, if you show any evil intentions again, you will be doomed.
But at this time, he must not refuse, otherwise his reputation will be ruined.
His status in the world, which he had gained after working for so long, cannot be screwed up like this.
At that moment, he had no choice but to agree, saying that he needed to prepare for half a day, and then set off to exorcise the evil spirits after half a day.
After sending away the people who came to invite him, Taoist Master Jin Guang was also very anxious.
After thinking about it, I took out the statue of General Ye Ming that I had made earlier in the morning, burned incense to the statue, and kept chanting the words asking for help from the gods.
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt like I was in a trance, as if I had come to a place as beautiful as a paradise.
Under the peach tree, a handsome young man with a divine appearance was sitting alone playing chess.
Seeing the fairy-like Ye Ming, Taoist Master Jin Guang hurriedly stepped forward and told the cause of the matter.
After listening to what Taoist Priest Jin Guang said, Ye Ming smiled and said:
"This is easy, just go as usual, do as usual, and don't worry about anything else."
After receiving Ye Ming's words, Taoist Priest Jin Guang immediately felt confident and thanked him repeatedly:
"Don't worry, Shangxian, this time the villain will definitely convert all the people in this town to believe in Shangxian!"
Not getting any reply, Taoist Priest Jin Guang only felt in a daze.
When I opened my eyes again, I was still in the house, still offering incense in front of the statue of General Ye Ming.
After saluting the statue again, Taoist Master Jin Guang held his head high, his brows full of confidence, and even his steps seemed to be getting longer. He called his two disciples and headed for Guaizi Town.
This time, our Taoist Master Jinguang was quite prominent. No matter what kind of evil spirits that family had, he would always come up and scold them, then chop them with his sword or use a talisman to subdue them.
After some methods of exorcising evil spirits, the evil spirits are guaranteed to be eliminated.
The townspeople were delighted to see how powerful this person was and invited him to come and practice the technique one after another.
Careful people have discovered that Taoist Master Jin Guang will mutter something in his mouth every time he does it.
When someone with strong ears hears it, the mantra recited seems to be inviting some kind of deity.
I just couldn't hear clearly, so someone asked, and Taoist Master Jin Guang explained that he was inviting Immortal Ye Ming.
Everyone asked again about the Ye Ming Immortal, but this one remained silent.
No one has heard of the Supreme Immortal Ye Ming, but everyone knows the name of General Ye Ming. After all, there is a village not far away from them that believes in General Ye Ming.
If someone is interested and inquires again, it’s incredible.
Although there have been evil spirits everywhere recently, there have been basically no major incidents in the villages that believe in General Ye Ming.
Even if someone has an abnormal situation, it will be cured soon. There is no situation where someone is killed by evil spirits.
When the townspeople in Guaizi Town heard this, they immediately became interested.
Regardless of whether he is General Ye Ming or not the Immortal Ye Ming mentioned by Taoist Priest Jin Guang, it is true that he can exorcise evil spirits.
Anyway, my kidnapping tree is of no use, so why not invite General Ye Ming?
After reaching a consensus, the townspeople began to build a statue of General Ye Ming, moved the statue of the kidnapper tree out of the ancestral hall, and enshrined the statue of General Ye Ming.
Some radicals even said that it would be better to just cut down the Laiguaizi tree outside the town.
Of course, everyone is still nostalgic and has not really cut it down.
Although it was not actually chopped down, it still frightened the old kidnapper tree.
In addition, his statue was moved out of the ancestral hall. Although the statue was not destroyed, this was obviously a bad sign.
The panicked Laoguaizishu filed a complaint with the Fucheng God.
So, that night, Zhang Decai, deputy director of the Punishment Department, led a group of undercover agents to the Laozhang Village Ancestral Hall.
Ye Ming, who was reading a book with Miss Wen one moment, had moved to the ancestral hall the next moment.
Seeing these guys coming again, I warmly invited them into the ancestral hall.
Zhang Decai looked businesslike and did not go in. He just said:
"Ye Ming, the God of Fortune and Righteousness, someone has accused you of bullying your colleagues, occupying ancestral halls, and robbing believers..."
"Ah, is this happening? Why didn't I know!"
One person looked surprised and said that he was completely innocent and had no idea what was going on.
"Ye Ming, that Taoist Jin Guang is just a charlatan. How can he know how to exorcise evil spirits? Why can he exorcise evil spirits? Please explain first!"
"How do I know this!"
Ye Ming expressed complete ignorance.
"Hmph, don't let me find out!"
This sentence was said by Yao Jiandong. This guy always likes to stare at Ye Ming.
With that said, he went to check on Taoist Priest Jin Guang again.
Zhang Decai and others continued to question Ye Ming.
Just relying on them to ask the truth, how is that possible?
Anyway, some people just refuse to admit it. No matter how you ask, I just don’t know.
As long as it’s something outside my jurisdiction, I don’t know anything about it!
Seeing Ye Ming's brutality, Zhang Decai was helpless.
But they really don't have any evidence to prove that Ye Ming did it, even though he was the ultimate beneficiary.
In fact, knowing the ultimate beneficiary is equivalent to knowing the murderer.
But they are not bandits, but undercover agents, and they need evidence when doing things.
Unfortunately, no evidence can be produced now, which is the most troublesome thing.
After a long time, Yao Jiandong came back.
The result this time was that Taoist Priest Jin Guang found a round white stone the size of a bead in the antique market and hung it on his body as a decoration.
There is actually fire in the stone hidden in the stone. Those evil spirits and the like will be burned to ashes as soon as they encounter the fire in the stone.
When all the underworld servants heard this, they were speechless for a while.
After a long while, Zhang Decai looked at Ye Ming and said faintly:
"Ye Ming, why don't you plead guilty yourself? It's impossible for these things to have nothing to do with you.
We are now willing to talk to you about the evidence, which is already the biggest concession. You can no longer push your limits like this. "
Seeing that the other party seemed to be about to show off, Ye Ming also became "angry" and immediately pointed at Zhang Decai's nose and cursed:
"Let me confess, right? Let me admit that I was the instigator of these things, right?
Okay, I admit it, I did all these things!
how?
Ever since I became a broken god, I have been working hard from dawn to dusk. I have done my best to eliminate all evil spirits and ghosts. I have never been lazy for a moment!
After being busy for so long, have I done any harm to the people?
Did I commit malfeasance?
Am I negligent in my duty?
I worked hard for that little bit of incense and will power, but if I make a small mistake, you will punish me with months of incense, and make my months of hard work go to waste!
Without the incense, I still have to fight against evil spirits. What can I do?
I can only think of ways to take advantage of the opportunity of an expert passing by to get a set of practice methods.
What am I doing this for?
It’s not just to safeguard your own responsibilities.
But what about you?
You deprived me of my path to promotion!
I can only stay here for the rest of my life, as a small piece of land.
Just stay like this for the rest of your life!
Do you know how painful this is for me, a young new god?
The world is in chaos now. It hurts my heart to see the common people suffering!
Recently, besides my jurisdiction, how many people have been killed by evil spirits?
You guys know better than me.
Yes, I have taken over other people’s incense and temples.
But, was I really wrong?
If it weren't for me, who knows how many people would have died in this town?
Let me ask you, are you trying to embarrass me, a god who is conscientious, conscientious, and honest in his duties?
Doesn't your conscience hurt?
No, you can't do this to me!
I have done my best for the people, and I have shed my blood for the City God.
I am a hero, you can't, you can't treat a young new god who is dedicated to the people like this! "
At first, he was still speaking accusingly, but by the end, Ye Ming was already "in tears", looking like he had been greatly wronged.
It really makes the listener sad and the listener shed tears.
After being told this, all the sinners lowered their heads. Even Yao Jiandong looked ashamed.
Zhang Decai sighed and burst into tears. He died of exhaustion at his job in the government office, and it was only after his death that he became a sinister person.
At this time, I was deeply moved when I heard Ye Ming's self-report. I felt that what I and others had done was really too much.
Look, what a good young god they have turned into!
What have you been forced into by this evil era!
