After an on-the-spot investigation of Songping County, Ye Ming found that the luck of this place was very strange, and the overall situation was on the decline.
To put it simply, I prefer the words "labor" and "hardship".
People here are born to work hard, and even if they work hard all their lives, it is difficult for them to have enough food and clothing.
It is also because the atmosphere of "labor" and "suffering" is very strong here, and those officials and wealthy families who conflict with it will inevitably suffer various disasters.
Either perish in the disaster, or become a member of the toiling masses in the disaster.
Such a "working" place is a very good place for Ye Ming.
Due to the sinking luck, the foundation is naturally very solid. If it is refined into the "Spark of Troubled Times", the overall potential of this flame will be greatly improved.
For Ye Ming, who has great ambitions, the stronger the foundation, the more likely he will be able to soar into the sky in the future.
Therefore, Ye Ming decided not only to refine the "labor" energy here, but also to swallow as much as possible to enhance his own flame foundation.
As for looking for Li Tiejiao before, it was because he needed an introduction.
He himself is not a "working" person, so he needs to rob a "working" person of his luck.
The reason why Li Tiejiao fell into hallucination before was because he was extracting the "labor" energy from him.
By the way, secretly help him nurse himself back to health to ensure that he can give birth to offspring normally.
This can be regarded as his "gas money".
As for what will happen to Li Tiejiao after losing his "hard work" spirit, he doesn't care at all.
He is a devil who does all kinds of evil and would not care about the life and death of a mortal.
Refining the luck of a place is not an easy task.
Fortunately, since Liu Pingyan became king, Yanhua Prefecture and Shunhua Prefecture have been cut off from the national destiny of Xu State.
At this time, Ye Ming wants to refine the destiny of this place, so he no longer has to think hard about how to cut off the ties between the destiny of the country and it.
After saving so much effort, the remaining parts are still not easy to deal with.
At night, the "Sparks of Troubled Times" began to spread little by little throughout the city, leaving many flames.
Fortunately, he is now the City God of Yanhua Prefecture and the highest local official on the Yinsi side.
Therefore, it is easy to do many things, such as hiding from the local county God's Temple.
The Chenghuang Temple in Songping County was demolished once, but now it is newly built. Ye Ming openly wandered around the city in the name of coming to inspect, and carried out his actions in a swaggering manner.
The local city god had to be careful to accompany him, for fear that there would be something that would dissatisfy the lord.
This is a bit funny. A big devil, accompanied by the local city god, is making arrangements that may destroy the foundation of a place's destiny.
I have to say that it is too easy for people in high positions to do bad things.
Moreover, the risks that need to be taken are also quite small.
In this way, Ye Ming successfully spread the "Spark" flames to various places in and outside the county.
After getting these done, the preparation work is basically completed.
Next, is the refining work.
At this time, the undercover agents of the County God's Temple were a bit burdensome, and they had to avoid their eyes and ears.
Logically speaking, if Ye Ming wanted to attack an entire county, it would be impossible to avoid these evil things.
But the reality is, he could do it easily.
The method is also very simple, just transfer Zhao Ning and Yao Jiandong directly from Fucheng Huangsi.
What are you doing?
Let them give lectures to the local Town God's Temple.
The reasons given by Ye Ming are also very good.
Songping County was lost three times in a row, which is already a joke in the world.
As the local city gods, they naturally have certain responsibilities.
This time I asked Zhao Ning and Yao Jiandong to come over just to give them a break.
Zhao Ning is a talkative person and will never stop talking about great principles for a few hours.
Yao Jiandong was suspicious again, so if he was asked to find out about Songping County's problems, he could easily find out a few baskets.
With these two people together, it is not surprising that a symposium lasted for three days.
Ye Ming directly ordered that all the undercover servants in Songping County should go to the Chenghuang Temple to attend the symposium, and all the servants would have three days off.
So, just like that, our big devil used the superior City God's Division to drag down all the shady things in the local City God's Temple, successfully avoiding everyone's eyes and ears.
As for some monks, Taoists, strange people, and the like, they may not have the insight to recognize luck.
Especially people who have never been in contact with it may not know what is going on.
Of course, Ye Ming was also on guard against these people.
Many illusions are deployed in and outside the county in advance to cover up the scene when luck emerges.
After everything was settled, the symposium in the Chenghuang Temple began.
Ye Ming personally inspected the scene and ensured that all the hidden troubles were in place. He spoke for a while and then left in public.
Zhao Ning and Yao Jiandong had long been accustomed to his behavior and just focused on the symposium.
After leaving the Chenghuang Temple, Ye Ming flew high into the sky until he reached the clouds.
After arranging the illusion again among the clouds, he started to take action.
A somewhat transparent black "Spark of Troubled Times" appeared in Ye Ming's palm. As he deliberately aroused it, the flames placed everywhere began to burn, from a little spark to a raging fire.
What makes the flame grow bigger is the local "labor" atmosphere.
These gases are like fuel, making the "Spark" grow stronger.
As the refining began, an invisible and intangible energy began to rise throughout the county.
Those gases are constantly being calcined by the flames, becoming fuel and turning into new flames.
The flames burned bigger and bigger, and soon, from some special perspectives, it could be seen that the entire county, inside and outside, had turned into a "sea of fire."
Of course, to ordinary people, everything around them looks like normal.
As the refining progressed, the smell of "labor" continued to overflow underground in the county.
Seeing this, Ye Ming was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the amount of "labor" energy here was so huge.
In this case, it seems that some things can be done at once and never be separated again.
Thinking of this, Ye Ming was not polite and took out the three evil fires of "Fire in the Corpse", "Fire in the Tomb" and "Fire in the Abyss", and put them into the "Spark of Troubled Times" in his hand.
If it were just to refine the three flames themselves, it would be very easy for Ye Ming now.
But the three flames all carry luck, so they are not so easy to refine.
Fortunately, the "labor" energy below serves as a steady stream of "fuel" to help him refine this energy.
Ye Ming can clearly feel that these fortunes are quickly dissolving and integrating into the "Sparks of Troubled Times".
The three evil fires quickly merged with the transparent black flames, making the flames more transparent.
In a blink of an eye, it was already dawn, and the refining process was still going on.
Ye Ming felt that the "Spark of Troubled Times" had become much stronger and its foundation became more solid.
This change lasted until it got dark again.
This time, the energy of "labor" was finally refined.
But Ye Ming did not take away the "Spark of Troubled Times".
Because he plans to be a big devil once and for all, not only to refine the "labor" energy here, but also to devour the roots in its earth veins!
Soon, the sea of fire from a special perspective began to sink, and the flames seemed to sink into the ground. On the surface, everything seemed to be normal.
As the flames sank into the ground, Ye Ming could clearly feel that it was much more difficult to devour than to refine.
Because the "labor" energy from the underground source is protected by the earth's veins, it is very difficult to break through its defenses.
Fortunately, the three evil fires have been refined into the "Spark of Troubled Times" at this time, and its power is stronger than before.
With the support of Ye Ming's nearly endless mana, the defense of the earth's veins was finally broken, and the "Spark of Troubled Times" began to swallow up the source of the "labor" energy.
The people in the county below were living normally, but some people began to feel something strange.
It seems that something is becoming less, or even about to be lost.
Many people feel flustered and don't know what's going on, let alone whether this feeling is good or bad.
At a certain moment, someone felt that a large part of that thing seemed to have disappeared.
Someone suddenly cheered, as if some shackles were being taken off...
Some people shed tears suddenly, seeming to have lost some important spiritual quality...
Ye Ming didn't care about the reaction of the people below.
This time, he used the "Spark of Troubled Times" to swallow up nearly 90% of the "labor" energy in the earth's veins.
As for the remaining bit, it is very deep in the earth's veins and cannot be "excavated" for the time being.
Ye Ming didn't insist on "killing them all". When he saw that it was almost done, he would withdraw the flames.
Now looking at the flame in his hand, Ye Ming is very satisfied.
The "Spark of Troubled Times" has become much stronger, and now any "Samadhi True Fire" in front of it is not worthy of holding a shoe!
As for the matter of almost severing a county's luck, Ye Ming didn't feel any guilt at all.
He is a devil, and he will only feel happy when he does such a great evil thing.
Oh, it’s so wonderful to do one evil thing every day!
After finishing everything, Ye Ming came down from the sky and returned to the county God's Temple to check.
It was discovered that the symposium was still going on. Zhao Ning and Yao Jiandong seemed to have really discovered the work mistakes of the local city god, and they were constantly criticizing them!
Seeing this, Ye Ming was too lazy to take care of it, so he just let them handle the matter.
After leaving the County God's Temple, we transferred directly to the Changming Town Ancestral Hall, and then to Miss Wen's courtyard.
As soon as I returned to the courtyard, I saw Luyi and Miss Wen sticking together.
Originally tired of being around Miss Wen, she looked happy in green. When he saw Ye Ming coming back, his face suddenly fell.
"Why did you come back when you had nothing to do?"
"It's okay, why can't I come back?"
"If nothing happens, don't come back!"
Seeing that Lu Yi seemed to be more confident, Ye Ming asked with a smile:
"Have the three external fires been successfully integrated?"
Hearing this, the man in green raised his neck proudly, like a proud cock:
"Of course, not only did it happen, but it also merged with the inner fire to become a truly complete 'Samadhi True Fire'!"
As he spoke, a blue flame appeared in the green clothed hand. It exuded a terrifying temperature. Just looking at it made people feel that their body and soul would be burned.
"Hehe, I am very strong now, and I will protect the young lady well.
If there is some bastard who dares to plot something against the young lady, I will definitely make him look good! "
"Did you hear that, Lei Ling, you are not allowed to plot evil against Caiwei."
Ye Ming agreed with Lu Yi's words and blamed Lei Ling, who was sleeping in Mai Sui's arms.
Lei Ling responded with a big eye roll to someone's shamelessness.
The man in green was also angry, stared at someone, and cursed:
"You shameless bastard!"
Not to be outdone, someone started bickering with Lu Yi on a daily basis.
Miss Wen was watching everything with a smile, and she would deviate from time to time.
In this way, the days passed day by day, and it was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.
This year's New Year's Day, it is rare for the people of the two provinces to have a peaceful life.
There are no landlords to collect debts, and there is no need to celebrate the New Year.
There is no government to collect taxes, and there is no need to worry about the county magistrate or the prefect exterminating the family.
The only ones to worry about are some bandits and hooligans.
At this new year's end, everyone is generally feeling more at ease.
But it was different in Lingbi Mansion next door. Over there, before the New Year was over, some people started to rebel!
