Deling County is located in the southwest of Qingzhou.
Its correct name should actually be Delingfu, and the county name is just an ancient name. Just because this place is the headquarters of the Xie family, a wealthy family in Qingzhou, the imperial court's control here is very weak.
Most of the local people only knew the Xie family and did not recognize the court officials.
Therefore, many people are still willing to call this place "Deling County".
In the sky, an illusory light and shadow converged slightly, and then a shadow fell into the city.
In the City God's Temple in Deling County, the tall, black-faced City God statue slightly rolled its eyes. After seeing the person clearly, it fell silent again.
Because this place is controlled by the Xie family, behind it are the gods of the Fengchan Mountain series. Naturally, the gods here are also the city gods enshrined by the Xie family.
However, in recent times, the relationship between the two factions of the gods has eased a lot. The City God did not become tense here, but only sent out day and night wandering gods to monitor the movements of incoming people.
"Wow, this place is much bigger than Changning County."
Qiu Ping transformed into a four or five-year-old black boy, looking up at the rows of tall houses and courtyards surrounding him.
He has only been to the county seat of Changning County, but the county seat is less than one-fifth of the size here.
Here, the streets can be six feet wide and can accommodate more than ten horses running in parallel. The ground is paved with flat bluestones, and the horses' hooves make a clicking sound when walking on them.
However, it seems that there is not much popularity here. Along the way, some sedans and carriages will occasionally pass by.
Unlike Changning County, although it is far less luxurious and clean than here, the narrow streets are crowded with people and more lifelike.
"According to the information given by Jiang Ming, the first ghost fetus is nearby." Qiu Ping held a parchment scroll in his hand and searched around.
He used this parchment that day at the [Shuiguan Disaster Relief Conference].
According to Jiang Ming, the aura of the Nine Ghosts has been contained in the parchment scroll, and no matter where they move, it will be revealed on the parchment scroll.
Hey, that's not right. You have already captured the aura of the Nine Ghosts, so you can't just wipe them out. Why do you have to let me go through this?
Although the little loach is not smart, he is not stupid either. He always feels that there is something fishy here.
These people are just like the Riddler. They always speak in secrets and are not smooth at all.
"It seems to be here."
Qiu Ping turned around a few times. According to the direction on the map, it should be... this location!
Qiu Ping looked at the map and walked towards a house in front of him.
Qiu Ping had just approached the house. Suddenly, the two door gods posted on the wide red door lit up slightly, and the next moment they turned into two divine generals of two feet and blocked Qiu Ping in front of him.
"You are not allowed to break into the noble's mansion without reporting it!"
One of the two generals held a copper mace, and the other held a pair of swords. Their eyes were like torches, staring at Qiu Ping.
"It's really rare that he is a door god."
Qiu Ping looked at the two door gods and couldn't help but marvel. Since he became a god, he has never seen the door god.
Because King Meiling reformed Shinto, he felt that the gods had the power and should treat all living beings equally.
Gods such as the door god and the store god are mostly invited by princes, nobles, wealthy squires and gentry to worship in their doors. However, ordinary people, as long as they have enough to eat all year round, don't have the spare money to worship gods.
Therefore, after King Mingling took power, he did not set up such gods. He only asked the city gods in various places to set up patrols of Yinshi and wandering gods to prevent unrest in the areas under his jurisdiction.
After all, gods should have a public heart and should not treat the creatures of heaven and earth differently based on the amount of wealth and power.
Qiu Ping looked at the two gods and was still secretly surprised. These two gods were actually ninth grade.
Although their status is not high, these two gods only look after the family and the house.
This is too extravagant. The incense and resources to support the gods here are probably a huge amount.
This is the first time Qiu Ping has come to the territory under the control of the family, and the current scene is still a bit difficult for him to accept.
"I'll go in and catch a murderer, and I'll leave after I've caught it. You two are definitely no match for me, so don't be impulsive."
Qiu Ping thought for the sake of his Shinto colleagues and didn't want to cause any unpleasantness, so he opened his mouth to persuade them.
But as soon as he said these words, the two door gods not only did not dodge, but instead attacked him from the left and right.
These two gods were both made gods by their heroic souls after death. They were both military generals during their lifetimes. Not only were they superb in martial arts, but they also had strong evil aura in their attacks.
If it were an ordinary god, let alone a ninth-level god, even an eighth-level god would have to be beaten up by this door god.
The little loach shook his head and strode forward.
The two door gods attacked from both sides, and the heavy weapons hit hard, but they seemed to hit a phantom.
No matter how they attacked, they couldn't even touch a hair on Qiu Ping's body.
After Qiu Ping defeated the dark side of his heart in the "Shuiguan Disaster Relief Conference", his ability to control space further improved.
The two gods couldn't see through the space, so naturally they couldn't find his location.
Qiu Ping ignored it and passed directly through the red door. He seemed to be walking in another dimension, and no obstacles could stop him.
The house here is huge, with hundreds of houses and winding corridors. If anyone else walked in hastily, they would probably get lost.
"These are a bunch of big dogs."
Even though Qiu Ping had the vision of his previous life, he was secretly speechless when he looked at the luxury here.
Although both the Dragon Palace and the Heavenly Palace were far taller and more magnificent than here, the scene here moved him the most.
In Huang'ao Village, in order to fill their stomachs, everyone dare not rest all year round. They just think about digging out more food from the soil.
But here, these families can live in mansions covering dozens of acres.
I'm afraid the dogs they raise are better fed than the people in Huang'ao Village.
The difference between people is really greater than the difference between people and dogs.
"Ah...where did you...you come from!"
Qiu Ping walked through a house while looking at the map, but heard a scream from inside the house.
There was mist in the house, and a woman was taking a bath in the tub. Suddenly she saw a black guy appearing in the house mumbling something, and she was so scared that she exploded on the spot.
"What are you looking at? I've never seen a handsome guy."
Qiu Ping curled his lips and continued to walk forward, directly through the wall and walked outside.
"Ah...catch that little thief and cut him to death with a thousand cuts!"
The woman simply lost her mind. Even if Qiu Ping walked far away, he could still hear the harsh sound.
In fact, not only this woman, but also other people in this mansion had already encountered Little Loach.
But Qiu Ping only walked in a straight line, no wall could stop him, and if others wanted to chase him, they would have to take a long detour. By the time he catches up, he has already run far away.
"Hey, it's right in front."
Qiu Ping looked at the sheepskin map. At this moment, the floor plan of a house was gradually revealed, and in the middle of the house, there was a red dot.
The little black dot represented by Qiu Ping is already very close to the red dot.
He walked directly through a long corridor, then passed through the wall, and then entered a room.
According to the map, this is where the ghost fetus is.
"Ugh...it smells so bad."
As soon as Qiu Ping entered the room, he was hit by the rancid smell mixed with the smell of medicine that made his head hurt.
He never expected that he would encounter a scent assassin while walking well.
This caught me off guard.
The room was relatively dark, with the doors and windows all around covered with black cloth, and only an oil lamp was burning slowly.
What surprised Little Loach most was that there were actually many people in the house.
These people are all young girls, but they are all wearing gorgeous clothes, even to the point of being a little too gorgeous, like actors on the stage.
Their expressions were dull, and they were all standing on one side of the bed.
There seemed to be a shriveled figure lying on the bed, and the stench in the room came from his body.
Qiu Ping didn't want to stay here any longer, he couldn't help but want to escape from here.
A large number of octagonal prisms appeared around the little loach, compressing a large amount of space and preventing the smell from reaching him for the time being. Only then did he regain his breath.
"You're not just a ghost, are you?"
Qiu Ping looked around the room. The room was empty. Except for the girls in strange clothes, there was only one figure lying on the bed.
No matter how you look at it, this person is the most suspicious.
"Your Excellency...what are you talking about?" On the bed, the figure was still alive. His throat was as dry as the land that had not rained for a long time, and his vocal cords were torn apart with all his strength, and then he managed to make a weak sound.
This man is very old, so old that he has run out of energy.
Every word you say consumes your little life force.
He is like the oil lamp burning in the house. Only by covering the house tightly can the light of the fire be maintained.
"It's okay, you don't have to worry about me."
Qiu Ping looked at this man who looked like he was about to die at any moment, and felt that this man was probably not one of the Nine Ghosts.
Based on the appearance of that ghost boy back then, the Nine Evils would not have fallen to this level.
Qiu Ping rummaged around the house, "There's nothing here... There's nothing here either..."
There weren't many things in the house. Qiu Ping even rummaged under the bed, but he didn't find anything unusual.
But on the map, the red light spot just stayed here, which meant that the ghost fetus must be here.
"Could it be... buried underground?"
The little loach doesn't believe in evil anymore. He has already touched this place, but he still can't find the ghost fetus?
He flicked his fingers, and an invisible illusory sphere appeared in his palm.
As soon as the sphere fell to the ground, the soil on the ground disappeared out of thin air. In the blink of an eye, a large pit several feet deep appeared in front of him.
Although the man on the bed was extremely weak, he was still struggling to get up at this moment. No matter who was lying here fine, and someone dug a big hole in the room, he would feel that this man had a serious problem in his head.
He shouted for someone to come, but because his voice was too low, no one outside could hear him.
"still none?"
The little loach scratched his head, looked around, and then looked up at the beams. Could it be that... he demolished this house?
But an old, weak, sick and disabled person is still lying here. When the cold wind blows outside, this person is probably dead.
Although the little loach wants to make progress and get promoted, he will not make fun of people's lives casually.
Just as he was wondering, suddenly, a woman in gorgeous clothes behind him shriveled up and turned into a piece of dry skin as if she had leaked air.
When the little loach saw this scene, he almost bit his tongue.
What's going on? Are all the women here inflated? Rich people are really good at playing. This is still the feudal period, so they are at least two thousand years ahead of the world.
