As the northern neighbor of Yanhua Mansion, Lingbi Mansion also suffered heavy losses in the earthquake. Fortunately, Princess Lingbi has been running around, which prevented the system from completely collapsing and the people can continue to live.
But later the officials and wealthy households in Yanhua Prefecture were driven away.
After these people ran to Lingbi Mansion, they immediately began to collude with local officials and wealthy people.
It was already very difficult to maintain the operation of Lingbi Mansion.
With the "help" of these people, success collapsed.
When the last debt collection came at the end of the year, the people finally couldn't bear it and started a wave of rebellion by killing officials.
Those who cause the people to rebel will not reflect on their own problems. They will only think that they are unruly and disobedient.
The officers and soldiers of Lingbi Mansion had some combat effectiveness, but the commander wanted stability and did not dare to go to war. He just guarded the city itself and did not care about the outside world.
Not only that, they also took a fancy to the people Princess Lingbi had recruited before, hoping that Princess Lingbi would come forward and put an end to the rebellion.
Princess Lingbi originally recruited these troops to prepare for going north to put down the rebellion.
As a result, it was held back due to the massive earthquake and the failure of the coalition of heroes.
Later, he played a big role in the disaster relief of the major earthquake and was deeply loved by the people.
Now there are only two paths before Princess Lingbi.
Either let the rebellious people continue to kill officials and rich people, destroying the existing order of the entire Lingbi Mansion.
Otherwise, he can only let his team of more than 4,000 people go to conquer these people.
There is no doubt that this is a dilemma for her.
After a series of ideological struggles, she still chose——
Put down the people's rebellion.
Who made her the princess of Xu country?
Although she knew that Xu State was basically dead in name only, she still refused to give up her last hope.
What if...what if Xu Guo can come back to life?
Therefore, the troops under Princess Lingbi, who had a good relationship with the local people during the disaster relief, began to become enemies of the people...
On the Yanhua Mansion side, after Liu Pingyan heard about the Lingbi Mansion, he immediately wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to send troops to capture the Lingbi Mansion as well.
But his brothers were unwilling to do this.
Without him, spring planting is coming soon. If we go out to fight at this time, the food harvest for the next year will not be guaranteed.
Liu Pingyan also knew that ensuring the grain harvest was the most important thing, so he had no choice but to give up after hearing what his brothers said.
The City God's Office has also discovered a problem. Recently, there have been spirits from Lingbi Mansion coming here, mostly aquatic spirits.
After communicating with the City God of Lingbi Prefecture, I found out that the River God in Lingbi River was a water snake.
That person is currently transforming into a dragon and cannot care about the affairs in Lingbi River.
Some spirits with different intentions in the river began to take the opportunity to cause trouble, and the Yanhua Mansion was naturally affected.
When Ye Ming learned about this, he looked at the official decree in his hand and had some ideas.
In fact, you don’t have to work hard to do many things yourself. You can just be lazy if you let others do it...
...
In a mountain to the north of Yanhua Prefecture, there is a Taoist temple.
This temple is called "Baozhen Temple", and its disciples are the best at refining all kinds of magic weapons and treasures.
When there was a big earthquake two years ago, the Guanzhong disciples went out in full force to eliminate the ghosts and monsters that came to the world at that time.
As a result, when the earthquake struck, the Taoist temple collapsed.
This time it collapsed, and a piece of Zhengfa was lost in the temple.
This is not something that all Taoist temples have, only some Taoist temples with status and foundation have it.
The greatest use of the law is its ability to protect oneself. If used rationally, it can protect oneself from being harmed by various ghosts and monsters. It is an important self-defense weapon.
At the same time, this thing is also a means used by the Taoist sect to punish the City God family.
It is generally used when the overall morals of the local area are completely corrupted, and the city god is maliciously infected by the people and degenerates into evil spirits.
At this time, using positive laws, you can easily eliminate these evil spirits without being harmed by them.
Originally this was an emergency measure in an emergency, but it also had a great impact on the normal City God's Yin Cha, making it impossible for him to take action against himself.
Therefore, all righteous sects strictly guard this order, and generally there will only be one in a house.
Baozhen Temple lost this thing, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.
It's just that during this period of time, I searched all over the nearby mountains and forests, but still couldn't find it.
Some people have already begun to plan to lose a few years of life and directly calculate the position of the official decree.
After all, this is not an ordinary treasure. It cannot be calculated easily. There must be some price to pay.
On this day, Zhenren Zhongtai, the master of Baozhen Temple, was studying a treasure that could be found in a temporarily rebuilt room, hoping to use this treasure to find the lost righteous law.
At this time, Master Chongtai suddenly looked outside and stopped what he was doing.
After a while, a disciple came to report that the city god of my hometown was visiting.
Master Chongtai was not surprised and invited the guests to sit inside.
Ye Ming and Master Chongtai sat opposite each other in the room. Master Chongtai made a cup of tea with his own hands:
"Master Cheng Huang has so many things to do every day, how can he come here and see the embarrassment of my shabby Taoist temple?"
"It's nothing. In fact, it's just a gift."
Ye Ming smiled and placed a token on the small table.
When Master Zhongtai saw this, his face twitched and he ordered...
"This is indeed a lost thing in my view. I dare to ask Lord Cheng Huang where this thing came from."
"After a monster picked up this thing, he wanted to use it to harm people under my rule, so he got this token."
Although the other party just said a simple word, beads of sweat were already streaming down Zhongtai's forehead.
This matter is a huge clue. If the other party reports it to Zhengxuanmen...
After all, Master Zhongtai also has some knowledge. When he saw the other party returning the things so obviously, he knew that the other party planned to keep it private.
"I wonder if there is anything that Lord Cheng Huang needs from Xiao Guan?"
"Recently, aquatic spirits in the Lingbi River are causing trouble everywhere, and our company is short of manpower..."
"That's it. It is our duty to eliminate demons and protect the Tao. I will give a satisfactory explanation to Lord City God on this matter."
Seeing Master Chongtai being so enlightened, Ye Ming smiled again and said:
"I heard that Guiguan is good at refining various magical weapons and treasures?"
Upon hearing this, Master Chongtai hesitated and said:
"It is true that we can refine some, but since the big earthquake, my main focus has been on rebuilding this place. If we want to refine treasures, all kinds of materials..."
"I know what the real person means, and I have brought the materials this time."
As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and placed a large number of jewelry-like treasures on the small table.
Then, he waved his sleeves to the open space next to him, and the precious "ransom" materials brought by Hu Liniang were also placed here.
Seeing this, Master Chongtai realized that this time they came to him to refine the treasure.
Return the official decree without causing trouble. Zhenren Zhongtai is also knowledgeable and cannot refuse:
"I wonder what kind of treasure City God wants to refine, but it needs to be used to carry the power of wishes?"
Ye Ming pointed to the various jewelry and treasures on the small table and said:
"Take the essence from the essence, smelt it into a sword, and mold it into the shape of a woman..."
Master Chongtai is very professional in refining treasures.
After listening to Ye Ming's request, he asked some key questions and then put forward his own opinions.
It has to be said that professionals are different. Many of Ye Ming's taken-for-granted methods have been told that there are problems.
After some exchanges, the shape of the sword was decided upon.
Then there was a pile of materials on the ground.
Master Chongtai said that if these materials are used to refine high-quality treasures, three pieces can be refined.
But if you refine an extremely good treasure, you can only get one piece.
Needless to say, from Ye Ming's perspective, he naturally wanted an excellent treasure.
Ye Ming's requirements for this one are quite special. He doesn't want a treasure that's full of offense or a treasure that's full of defense. Instead, he wants a treasure that can assist in casting spells and enhance power.
There is no doubt that the refining of this kind of treasure is extremely difficult.
Mr. Chongtai also carefully inquired about all the required details to ensure that no mistakes were made.
The two communicated for a long time. From this exchange, Ye Ming also understood that refining treasures does not require a good treasure refining method.
This thing is really one step at a time. If you don’t do the actual operation and accumulate experience over many years, don’t expect to achieve anything.
Ye Ming had the "Melting Fire Sect's" "Melting Fire Weapon Refining Method" on hand, and he thought he could make a quick success of it by relying on his own genius.
Now it seems that I really thought about it a bit too much.
After everything was settled, Master Zhongtai handed over the matter of eliminating the water spirits, and then went into seclusion to refine treasures.
In his words, this time the treasure refining would take as long as half a year and as little as three months.
Ye Ming knew that such a treasure was not easy to refine, so this time was considered conscientious.
Sometimes, a treasure takes several generations and hundreds of years to refine.
Of course, every piece of such treasure is a rare treasure.
At least Ye Ming has no chance to get it now, um, but he has seen one that is quite special.
That was the halberd in Lu Qingxu's hand that originated from General Ye Ming.
This halberd was originally just an ordinary halberd. He followed General Ye Ming in his battles in the north and south, killing more than a million people, stained with boundless blood, and finally turned into a treasure with boundless evil.
Moreover, over the past fifteen hundred years, it has been constantly changing users and causing evil. One can imagine how ferocious it is.
After settling the matter here, Ye Ming felt relaxed.
Master Zhongtai never mentioned the reward for refining treasures from beginning to end, and Ye Ming didn't mention it at all.
Hehe, the main focus this time is free prostitution.
I thought that the Taoist priest of Baozhenguan would take action, so I didn't have to worry about the aquatic monsters in Lingbi River this time.
As a result, Ye Ming miscalculated.
Those guys brought various treasures and went to deal with the spirits.
There was indeed no problem at first, as a large number of ghosts that were causing trouble and harming the world were eradicated.
But not long after, the strong ones among these monsters came forward, and the situation became different.
The leader among the spirits is a leech spirit, known as the Poisonous Leech Lord.
This demon was originally a river god, considered the righteous god of water.
But later on, he had evil intentions and the road became crooked, and in the end he even harmed the people along the river.
Therefore, he was expelled from the priesthood, and Lingbijiang God ordered him to repent in the cave. He was not allowed to leave without orders.
Originally he was good and honest before, but this time Jiang Shen turned into a dragon in seclusion, he couldn't help it anymore and came out to make trouble.
This demon has not appeared for many years. When it came out, everyone discovered that it had developed evil skills and had obviously completely turned into a demon.
The Poisonous Leech Master saw that the spirits that were causing trouble with him were being killed in large numbers by Baozhenguan disciples, so he took action himself.
This demon's cultivation was not weak in the first place, but now he practiced evil skills. He also had a five-hundred-year-old water hyacinth vine in his hand as a treasure. The disciples of Baozhen Temple were no match for him, and several of them were directly sucked dry of their essence and blood by it and died.
There was originally Master Zhongtai at Baozhen Temple who could deal with Master Poison Leech.
But now Zhongtai Zhenren is refining the treasure and cannot interrupt it, so naturally it is impossible to leave the seclusion.
Therefore, the disciples in Guanzhong found Chenghuangsi again.
After things took a turn, it came back to Ye Ming.
Obviously, the Poisonous Leech Lord needs the personal action of him, the City God, in order to surrender.
It's just that the other party is still at the junction of Lingbi Mansion and Yanhua Mansion, and is very cunning.
If the Yanhua Prefecture City God was targeting him, he would run to Lingbi Prefecture, and vice versa.
It can be said that it made both sides feel a little temperamental.
After Ye Ming found out, he just smiled.
The opponent's method of coping could still be useful in other places.
But unfortunately, his opponent is extraordinary!
