After Hui Ji, who was far away in Chang'an, learned the news, she didn't care about collecting more clues and information about Long Nu, and immediately set off for Runzhou.
When Huiji officially set foot on the territory of Runzhou, all members of the Qintian Prison in Runzhou had already gone to their deaths.
Several states and counties near Runzhou also adopted decisive blockade measures after learning of the disaster here.
So in desperation, Huiji had no choice but to go to Runzhou City alone, and calmly face the people who were possessed by resentment.
Even the red fox who had been following Hui Ji was sent away by him for any reason.
It has to be said that Huiji, who has practiced the Tongjie Tong, is indeed prescient.
As soon as he entered Runzhou City, he was surrounded by evil spirits all over the city.
Among them are ordinary people who are possessed by the Dragon Girl's resentment, as well as demons and demons who take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.
Huiji, who didn't want to commit any crime, spent a lot of effort to drive away all the monsters.
Immediately afterwards, he used other methods to dispel the resentment of ordinary people, allowing them to regain their rationality and resume their normal lives.
When things have progressed to this point, Huiji has basically solved the trouble left by Long Nu's resentment.
Next, he only needs to find the lurking white snake and seal the dragon girl's resentment into the Dragon Locking Well again. This incident will be over.
However, Huiji considered everything that could be considered, but only ignored the greed in human nature.
Although Runzhou City returned to normal under Hui Ji's strong hand, the disaster that occurred during this period was real.
Floods, famines, banditry...
When Huiji realized that something was wrong, prices in Runzhou City had begun to skyrocket. Those merchants, officials, and gentry who were hoarding goods all wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune and recover their losses during this period.
Not only that, even the donations used to rebuild the embankments were squandered by these guys.
In the final analysis, no matter how good the ideals and policies are at the beginning, grassroots personnel who do not firmly implement these ideals and policies will only lead to counterproductive results.
But at this time, what Huiji lacked most was subordinates who could resolutely carry out his orders.
What Huiji didn't expect was that, perhaps because he was sure that he would not kill him, these guys who had made great fortune in the country's financial crisis actually began to take the initiative to plot against him.
First, he used the information that White Snake was lurking in Longyou Lake to lure Hui Ji away, and then turned against him at the critical moment when he planned to seal it.

"In other words, you were plotted by a group of mortals?"
Looking at Hui Ji's response in silence, Pei Wende felt that his three views were all impacted.
"A true human Buddha who has cultivated all the supernatural powers and has no doubts about his plans was plotted against by a group of greedy humans?"
Pei Wende knew that Huiji was naive.
Because if this guy wasn't naive, he wouldn't have broken the precepts and re-established his precepts and vowed to establish a human Buddhist kingdom.
But he never expected that Hui Ji would be so naive that she would dare to believe the information given by those businessmen, officials, and wealthy gentry even though she knew they all had criminal records.
"Haha, I know it's stupid, but it's the truth."
Facing Pei Wende's sarcastic tone, Hui Ji laughed without embarrassment at all.
"Practicing to clear up all the leaks does not mean knowing everything, otherwise I would really become a Buddha."
Huiji never thought that she was a superior Buddha, nor did she think that she was any more noble than Mudleg.
Although this kind of mentality may occasionally cause Huiji to capsize in the gutter, more often than not, it allows him to immerse himself in the sufferings of the people all over the world.
Keep your original intention when you entered Taoism and carry it out unswervingly.
This is the bottom line that Huiji truly values and must maintain at all costs.
"Then what's next? Isn't your body already dead?"
They were obviously talking about Hui Ji's life and death, but neither Pei Wende nor himself seemed to show too many complicated emotions.
An understatement, as if discussing what to eat for lunch today.
To be honest, even Pei Wende himself was a little surprised at his calmness at the moment.
"Do I, my senior brother, have so little authority in your eyes?"
"Although that dragon girl was a real dragon who came to the other shore before, the resentment that remained after her death did not even touch the threshold of the other shore."
"If Luo Jie Tong hadn't discovered a secret, how could I have been hit hard by her resentment?"
According to Hui Ji, he saw part of the Dragon Girl's origin at the last moment when he subdued the White Snake, so he was overly surprised and failed.
According to local legends in Runzhou, the dragon girl was a real dragon active in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
However, she was born much earlier than the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and she was a land fairy that existed before the Qin Dynasty unified the Central Plains.
The most important thing is that this dragon girl seems to have some kind of intersection with the first emperor Ying Zheng.
Anyway, in the ray of heavenly secrets that Hui Ji had insight into, he once saw the figure of the Dragon Girl briefly appearing in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang in Lishan Mountain.
My own excessive surprise, coupled with the intentional or unintentional calculations of those mortals...
This ultimately led to Huiji's failure to subdue the white snake, and instead was severely injured by the resentment of the dragon girl in her body.
Thanks to Red Fox's successful rescue again, Hui Ji was rescued at the most critical moment, and Hui Ji was prevented from completely capsizing in the gutter.
However, Hui Ji, who was recounting this experience, did not notice that Pei Wende's expression was changing in some way at this moment.
[White snake, gold mine, and now there is another Lishan mountain...]
Listening to Hui Ji's story with a complex expression, Pei Wende's heart was as restless as the sea.
When he heard about White Snake, Pei Wende didn't make too many associations at first.
But as Pei Wende discovered the gold mine in Zexin Temple, he already had some kind of premonition in his heart.
Now I heard Hui Ji say that the dead dragon girl had been to Lishan Mountain and had some kind of interaction with Qin Shihuang...
Even if Pei Wende is unwilling to face the facts, he has to admit that some kind of "fate" is coming.
No matter which version of "The Legend of White Snake" is produced in later generations, Fahai is the abbot of Jinshan Temple.
Although the origin of White Snake is different in each version, in some versions, the relationship between White Snake and Old Mother Lishan is also mentioned implicitly.
Coupled with Pei Wende's rough understanding of history and geography, he had indeed never heard of Jinshan Temple in Hangzhou.
At the very least, there is no Jinshan Temple in Hangzhou today.
[That white snake...is really Bai Suzhen? 】
