Zhu Minglang tried his best to calm himself down.
He walked forward and began to examine the corpse of the Earth Temple God.
He wanted to know if there were any special cursed items on the body of the Earth Temple God.
Usually, powerful curses had very strict triggering conditions. For example, some folk magicians would make a paper doll and write the person's name on it. Then, they would prick it with a needle, and the paper doll would suffer together with the person.
This kind of curse was not made from just any paper. The paper had to be made from trees that were planted in the same year as the person. The ink used to write the person's name had to be the ink of the person's blood. Lastly, the person had to have no corresponding protective items to protect them.
Killing curses seemed strange, mysterious, and impossible to guard against. However, it was impossible to kill a living person out of thin air. Before he killed this person, he must have had direct or indirect contact with this person.
Therefore, there must be a trace of the killing curse!
There was nothing on the corpse. Instead, there was something strange about the object that the person spat out.
"This is a piece of wood that was not completely burned. There are words on it …"
Zhu Minglang did not mind the dirt and began to examine the ashes that the Earth Temple God spat out.
There were things that were not completely burned in the ashes. Upon closer inspection, he could even see the word "memorial".
"It looks like a wooden memorial tablet," Wen Lingfei said.
Zhu Minglang vaguely remembered something. He walked out of the temple and saw a temple monk who was still kneeling outside the stairs. He was scared like an old dog.
"Come here," Zhu Minglang said to the temple monk.
"I'm here." The temple monk crawled over and did not dare to get up.
"How did your Earth Temple God deal with the Wei family's funeral in Moonlight City? Tell me the truth!" At this time, Zhu Minglang did not deliberately hide anymore. The divine light appeared and the radiance was extremely bright and dazzling in the dark night.
The temple monk was scared out of his wits. He did not dare to hide anything. He said in a trembling voice, "My God, I set the Wei family's ancestral hall on fire and burned the memorial tablets of their ancestors."
Zhu Minglang frowned!
The Earthly Temple Deity was too unreliable. The old Human Guard had said that he had been doing good deeds and accumulating merits all his life. The Earthly Temple Deity had also recorded that the father and son were good people. Their child had died for no reason. Cursing the Heavens was just to vent their emotions. It was not a big deal. Why did the Earthly Temple Deity burn down the ancestral hall? Wasn't he trying to destroy the ancestral hall?
For mortals, it was not easy to accumulate good karma over several lifetimes!
"Ridiculous! How can you be so barbaric? As a god, even if you don't have the patience to change people one by one, you shouldn't use such despicable behavior to destroy their lifelong belief in virtue and kindness!" Zhu Minglang was furious when he heard this.
He initially thought the Earthly Temple Deity had disguised himself as a monk to comfort the people. Zhu Minglang did not interfere when he saw the Earthly Temple Deity's attitude at the start. After all, it was the Earthly Temple Deity's job. He did not expect the Earthly Temple Deity to lose his patience and burn down the ancestral hall after he left.
The burning of the ancestral hall not only destroyed the virtue of several lifetimes, but also confirmed the rumors and slanders. How could a person who was wholeheartedly kind-hearted accept being condemned by the public?!
"I'm afraid the death of the Earthly Temple Deity is closely related to the Wei Family. We have to take a look," said Wen Lingfei.
"Huh?? What happened to my God? " The temple monk's face was filled with astonishment. He peeked through the door. The scene he saw made him jump a few meters into the air like a stray cat being ambushed!
"Take care of the funeral for your Earthly Temple Deity. If a higher-level god comes, tell him that the Earthly Temple Deity was killed by a dark force because of his barbaric behavior," Wen Lingfei said to the temple monk.
The temple monk did not expect it to turn out like this. His eyes flickered with suspicion, suspecting that the death of the Earthly Temple Deity was caused by the two Exalted Gods. However, the suspicion quickly disappeared from his heart. With their level, there was no need for them to kill the Earthly Temple Deity in such a manner.
"Is … is it related to the funeral in the morning?" the temple monk asked cautiously.
"Mm, I'm afraid there's a powerful evil immortal behind it," said Wen Lingfei.
"This curse power is no less than the curse of the servant god. It is most likely that the fire of the temple god violated his own god's oath. On the other hand, he was caught by someone who knew the laws of the gods." Zhu Minglang said.
"Come, let's go to the Wei Family in Yuesha City."
…
The two quickly made their way to Yuesha City.
As the night dragged on, all the cities in Shenjiang started curfews.
The Alioth Immortal City was no exception. Even though the Alioth Star God's true body was right above their heads, in order to prevent something in the dark night from sneaking into their homes, the majority of the people would close their doors tightly and not take a single step out.
The street was supposed to be quiet, but there was a family in the middle of the street. The suona was extremely piercing, and the heart-wrenching grief was transmitted to the ears of every family through the special tone of the suona.
People could not sleep peacefully. Some opened their windows and cursed loudly.
"It's the middle of the night, why are you still playing the suona? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the heavens again?"
"Everyone knows that your family is up to no good now. Send your child away when he's gone. Why are you playing the suona in the middle of the night? Do you want the whole city to know that your family has suffered retribution!?"
"Are you crazy? Now that everyone knows your true nature, you stopped pretending and started taking revenge on the world?"
The curses came one after another, but the suona did not stop playing.
Finally, some of the neighbors could not take it anymore. They got up in the middle of the night and angrily went to the Wei Family.
They stood outside the short fence and looked into the yard.
There was no one playing the suona in the yard, only Wei Zhuo.
"Old Man Wei, are you out of your mind? Even if you're going to hold a funeral, you shouldn't play the trumpet in the middle of the night. If you attract any unclean creatures, your whole family will suffer!" a woman holding a child scolded.
"I understand now. Only unclean things are attracted in the day. The ones that come at night are the ones who uphold justice." The wrinkles on Wei Zhuo's face became more obvious. He opened his mouth and revealed a mouthful of strange yellow teeth.
"Stop playing the suona. Your family has already been spurned by the heavens. If you do such a thing again, your wife, brother, and niece will all die!" a burly man scolded.
"This suona is not for my child," Wei Zhuo said.
"If it's not for your dead child, then who is it for?" the auntie holding the child asked.
"You guys!" Wei Zhuo laughed. His eyes were so cloudy that the whites of his eyes could not be seen. His pupils were so dark that they did not reflect any light!
As soon as he finished the sentence, the whole street was engulfed in flames. The flames swept across the place like a gust of wind, setting all the houses on fire. The fire was like the ancestral hall during the day, devouring the walls and doors in an instant!
