Holding the small stone and feeling the evil energy emanating from it, Ye Ming felt refreshed all over.
What a good thing!
It's just that it's not convenient to take this thing back because it keeps emitting evil energy and cannot be controlled.
Father and daughter like Ye Ming and Mai Sui naturally have no fear and only think it is a good thing.
But for others, that's not the case.
Moreover, it is not convenient to bury it near the village, as it will pollute the land and kill animals and crops in the field.
But it was not impossible. Ye Ming took out the gourd that had not been used for a long time.
This gourd has been sitting idle since I quit drinking, but now it can come in handy.
A spell was cast to transfer the evil stone into the gourd.
This gourd can hold a river of water, and the evil spirit overflowing from the stone can naturally be contained continuously.
Even if Ye Ming doesn't use it, he can pretend it won't leak for three to five years.
And if used regularly, as long as the gourd itself is not broken, it can be kept forever.
After collecting the evil stone, the concentration of evil energy here suddenly dropped, and it seemed that the source was directly cut off.
But Ye Ming did not give up and continued to search in the cracks in the ground.
Because the evil stone looked like it had fallen from one piece.
If you can find the complete body, you can practice with it every day in the future.
It's a pity that after Ye Ming's search, he couldn't find another evil stone.
In line with the principle that thieves do not steal anything, Ye Ming "robbed" all the evil spirits from the bodies of many mandrills, including the Mandrill King.
Anyway, these mandrills can't control these evil spirits. It's a waste to leave it to them. It's most useful to keep it yourself.
Ye Ming, who had been a bandit for a time, felt good about himself and committed evil every day. This was the professional ethics a devil should have.
After that, seeing that there was nothing he needed to care about in Laoyin Mountain for the time being, he left here.
In the following days, the villagers discovered that the troublesome mandrills were gone. They thought it was General Ye Ming who was blessing them, so they all went to offer incense to fulfill their wishes, allowing someone to make another fortune.
On the other side, Taoist Master Jin Guang's propaganda about the Ye Ming Immortal changed from bright to dark, and was compiled into many short stories for the children to tell.
Almost all the incense money Ye Ming received on weekdays was given to Taoist Priest Jin Guang to trick the children.
It has to be said that nursery rhymes have a very strong ability to be sung.
Especially the catchy jingle specially compiled by Taoist Master Jin Guang. Even a passerby can memorize the general idea after listening to it several times.
"Ye Ming Shang Xian is good, it can make me full", "Ye Ming Shang Xian is cool, the whole family will not be hungry" and so on, people can't help but want to give it a try. Anyway, they just worship a god and burn it. What if the fragrant thing is useful and we really don’t have to go hungry anymore?
Since then, many people have begun to try...
This time, Taoist Master Jin Guang acted very low-key, and he was also a deceitful child.
The investigation by the City God's secret agents suddenly became more difficult.
Moreover, the sneaky and evil things in various places have not stopped, and the City God's Office does not have much energy to take care of this matter.
Just let it go, as long as Ye Ming stops robbing believers and occupying temples.
Ye Ming feels the incense desire that increases every day, feels the large number of worldly emotions, and is very satisfied.
It feels like this kind of practice is indeed much faster than practicing alone.
I couldn't help but give Taoist Master Jin Guang a thumbs up, and decided to give him a fortune in the future so that he could enjoy his old age in peace.
But for now, let’s just promote ourselves honestly.
As for empty promises such as "Believe in the night and have a full meal", he will not fulfill it.
As a devil, his main focus is to cheat.
Again, Ye Ming only wants benefits and no obligations.
While Ye Ming was enjoying the benefits, another problem occurred in Shunhua Mansion.
The newly appointed son-in-law, the prefect, has neither the ability to fight the enemy nor the ability to govern the country, let alone defend the country.
What he is best at is oppressing good people, preying on the common people, and dominating others.
To put it simply, he has no ability to deal with the enemy, but to deal with the common people, he has no ability to deal with thirty-six or seventy-two strategies.
In less than a month after taking office, he issued more than 80 decrees.
Each of these decrees is under the guise of serving the country and the people and restoring prosperity, but in fact every one of them is like a leech lying on the people to suck blood.
Food taxes, poll taxes, and household taxes are all nothing new. What is this son-in-law and the prefect doing?
Chicken killing tax, pig killing tax, goose killing tax, street cleaning tax, head shaving tax, clothing tax, morning tax, evening drum tax, street tax...
There are only things you can't think of, and there are no titles he can't award.
In just twenty days, the son-in-law, the prefect, received the taxes from Shunhua Mansion after ninety years.
That's not all, especially since he and other magistrates and other officials are all from the Yanhua prefecture line.
They all know each other and have a good relationship. They also pass on their experiences to each other and think about tricks all day long about how to make money from the pockets of poor people.
Then you have to ask, are they not afraid that the people will rebel again?
Sorry, I'm really not afraid.
Who told them to have Mr. Bai in Yanhua Mansion?
With this person here, who would dare to rebel and not want to live?
With confidence, they have no bottom line in doing things.
Under such oppression, on the first day of July, the people could no longer bear it and rose up...
This time, everyone including the newly appointed son-in-law and the prefect were killed by the angry people.
Especially the son-in-law, the prefect, was tied to a rack by a group of people and stabbed to death.
The broken corpses were made into dumpling fillings and eaten by everyone.
Subsequently, a major uprising broke out in Shunhua Mansion that was even more terrifying than the last time.
Perhaps this time, they should not be called the "thief army", but the rebel army...
The news soon spread to Yanhua Prefecture. After hearing the news, the prefect fainted on the spot again.
Later, a group of officials from the government, large and small, came to Laozhang Village in groups to ask Mr. Bai to lead troops to put down the rebellion.
But this time, Mr. Bai refused.
The behavior of some people destroyed the last hope in his heart, and he would not do anything to help these people anymore.
Everyone begged Mr. Bai hard and offered all kinds of shocking benefits, asking Mr. Bai to take action.
Mr. Bai said: "If you are willing to use the benefits promised to me on the rebels, the matter will be solved."
When everyone heard this, they all shook their heads. These things were all accumulated by them over the years. Are you asking them to give the benefits to those rebellious and unruly people?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
Seeing that Mr. Bai was unmoved, everyone continued to plead, but to no avail.
In the end, Mr. Bai said that the officers and soldiers had fought bloody battles after the last battle.
As long as someone is willing to lead troops to quell the rebellion, with the combat effectiveness of the official army, they can achieve success.
Hearing this, everyone shook their heads and refused again.
None of them were willing to go into battle and fight against the rebellious people, but they also would not allow generals to lead troops alone.
Civil servants naturally looked down upon military generals. The reason why they invited Mr. Bai to take action was because he was a civil servant and he was quite capable of fighting among the civil servants.
Especially since Dong Lushan's rebellion was right in front of them, these civil servants would never trust the generals.
At this time, Mr. Bai was completely disappointed and had no hope for this group of people.
After the group left, Mr. Bai received another letter from Yuan Wai.
As the largest landowner in Yanhua Prefecture and the mentor of the prefect, Lu Yuanwai naturally sides with the civil servants and landowners.
It can even be said that he is the spiritual leader of these people.
His letter was very tactful, but he hoped that Mr. Bai would help Yanhua Mansion again for the sake of his late father.
In response, Mr. Bai replied:
"If my father knows about this, he will help the rebels defeat you and others."
After Lu Yuanwai saw this reply, he was very angry and never contacted Mr. Bai again.
The relationship between the two suddenly dropped to a freezing point.
The only good thing is that the rebels in Shunhua Mansion did not know that Mr. Bai would not take action again. Because they were afraid of Mr. Bai's reputation, after occupying the entire Shunhua Mansion, they were led by the new rebel leader and only stayed in Shunhua Mansion. , lived their own lives without conquering Yanhua Prefecture.
The new leader is a businessman who was forced by the government to destroy his family and his family. Now that he has become powerful, he is not very enterprising and still focuses on doing business.
When Yanhua Mansion heard the news, they were relieved and treated the incident in Shunhua Mansion as if it had never happened.
The days are gradually approaching mid-July, and there are only a few days until the Hungry Ghost Festival.
This year's Hungry Ghost Festival is special because it is the day when the underworld is about to leave.
Once the underworld leaves, a hundred thousand evil spirits will descend to the human world.
That was the beginning of the chaos in the world, and now these are just small troubles.
In addition to being the day when the underworld leaves, it is also Miss Wen's birthday.
In addition, it is a coincidence that Miss Wen is expected to complete the "subduing the Yin" process before the formal practice of "Pure Yin Heavenly Book" on her fifteenth birthday and the day when she will have hair extensions, and completely surrender her own Yin Qi.
Lei Ling's "rerouting" is also expected to be initially completed at this time.
The combination of so many coincidences made Ye Ming feel a little wrong.
One or two are coincidences, but with so many things happening together, is it really a coincidence?
The deeper he understood "Jia Zizhan", the more he doubted such a coincidence.
Especially in recent days, bizarre events related to the underground have become more mundane than before.
For example, last night, a small mountain peak grew out of thin air between two adjacent houses.
It looks like a pointed conical stone sticking out of the ground.
When the villagers saw this, they all thought it was auspicious. They covered the stone cone with red colors and put it on the table as an auspicious offering.
Ye Ming was also curious when he saw it, but after observing for a while, he finally confirmed that it was an ordinary stone, which seemed to be pushed up by some force underground.
In addition, some people found that their fields suddenly expanded by two feet. They were ecstatic, thinking that it was a blessing from gods, and danced happily.
There are also people who are more unlucky. They finally built a mud house, but after living there for only two days, the walls cracked, which is very distressing.
All kinds of strange things happen frequently, and they are all related to the underground.
This made Ye Ming wonder, could it be related to the departure of the underworld?
But then he denied it.
The underworld, although it is called the underworld, is not actually underground, but in another space.
The underground, just below ground, is made of earth and stone.
Otherwise, if the underworld is really underground and the underworld leaves, wouldn’t the entire earth collapse?
Ye Ming tried to use divination to deduce the matter, but unfortunately, it seemed that the relationship was too big to get any results.
I can't figure out the reason, but I always feel a little uneasy.
This made Ye Ming a little at a loss. As a demon, this was the first time he had such an unstable mentality.
After thinking about it, I think it would be better to take precautions earlier.
Judging from the current coincidences, if there is going to be a problem, it must be on the Ghost Festival this year, the day of Miss Wen's birthday.
Therefore, on July 14th, I helped Miss Wen celebrate her birthday in advance, and then entrusted the dream to Mr. Bai, Pang Yuan and the village chiefs, asking them to gather everyone together before midnight tonight. Near the ancestral halls of different villages.
No one is allowed to stay alone in the room, not even the elderly or children who are critically ill.
After making such an arrangement, Ye Ming inexplicably felt a little more at ease.
It seemed that I had made the right decision.
This night, no one slept. Miss Wen sat cross-legged on the bed in advance, preparing to wait for the arrival of the fifteenth day, when she would complete the last "Fu Yin".
