The group of transmigrators were oblivious to the gazes in the dark. They walked straight to a small village nearby. To avoid shocking the world, the few of them stopped their conveyance lights and walked towards the small village. This was the ancient times, unlike the future where cultivators like them could come and go as they pleased. In places with people, there were City Gods everywhere.
If cultivators like them dared to fly over the heads of these deities, they would definitely be knocked down by the divine light soaring into the sky, and the deities would also come to condemn them.
These were just ordinary Earth and City Gods. If they accidentally offended the Temple of Erlang Xiansheng, the Temple of Laojun, or the Temple of Third Prince Nezha, these Great Gods would not have the time to find trouble with them, but they did not lack people who wanted to flatter them. Maybe there would be a Thunder God who would send down the ninety-nine heavenly tribulations to kill all those who dared to offend them.
There were about forty to fifty families in the small village. There was a cottage facing the main road. There were two straw torches hanging from the treetop, indicating that this was a family that sold wine and tea. Luckily, there was no lack of antiques among cultivators. When Qing Chen Zi saw this, his face lit up with joy. He said with a smile, "There is a place to rest in the house in front. Let's go and ask about the situation. This Western Mother Kingdom seems to be related to Western Mother. We must not be careless. There was such a strange thing before, I think we can find out the reason here! "
There were monks and Daoists among the group of transmigrators. They were a mix of good and bad people. There were also some cultivators who were mostly modern cultivators.
Qing Chen Zi asked everyone to dress like Daoists. It was not convenient to travel in ancient times. Many places had no outsiders in their lives. Other than merchants, it was only convenient to dress like monks and Daoists. Luckily, cultivators were used to it. Other than Hui Shan who refused and only wore the tattered kasaya, the others changed into Daoist robes and went to knock on the door of the farmer's house.
After knocking for a long time, someone inside asked with extreme vigilance, "Who are you?"
Qing Chen Zi flicked his horsetail whisk and made a familiar sage-like posture. He pretended to be profound and said, "We are Daoists from the State of Aparagodānīya. We are going to the Middle Earth to search for celestials and Daoism, to trace their origins! I'm passing by our country, and because it's been a long journey, I'm here to rest my feet! "
The person behind the door scrutinized him for a long time before saying, "Why didn't you go to the Dong Sheng Divine Continent? Instead, you went to the Middle Earth to trace the source. There are no Daoists in the Middle Earth!"
"There are no Daoists in the Central Plains?" Qing Chen Zi was stunned. He did not expect that he would be exposed in a place like this. However, he had traveled far and wide and had tricked many such fools. He did not try to defend himself. He just smiled and said in a high voice, "What is there to visit in the Dong Sheng Divine Continent? Daozu Taishang Laojun has long since reincarnated in the Central Plains. Now that he has left the Hangu Valley in the west, everyone knows about him. We are going to see him! "
"I see!" The door was pulled open, and an old woman cautiously poked her head out. She said to them, "It's not peaceful here recently, there are demons causing trouble. Therefore, the old woman did not dare to open the door to entertain the guests. Since you are a Daoist from the Aparagodānīya State, please come in! "
Qing Chen Zi didn't decline. He led the group of people and squeezed into the small cottage. He pretended to ask casually, "The owner said that there are demons and evils here. I'm not exaggerating. Normal demons and evils would avoid us Quanzhen cultivators who have attained Dao. Why don't you tell us what happened? We will help you get rid of the demon as a reward for your hospitality! "
The old woman heard his words and quickly waved her hand in fear, "No, you can't do that! Daoist, this demon is not normal! This place has the protection of the Queen Mother of the West. The mountains have gods, the rivers have dragons, the villages have land, and the cities have City Gods. Even the mountain gods are in trouble and the land is in trouble. Even these gods can't get rid of the demon. Even though you are Daoists, you are still mortals. How can you do it? You will only be throwing your life away! "
"Oh?" Qing Chen Zi was proficient in tricking fools. He did not refute and only said slowly, "It's fine if you say it. If we can't do it, when we go to the east to pay a visit to Taishang Laojun, maybe it will work? "
When the old woman heard Taishang Laojun's name, she hesitated. She knew about Taishang Laojun. He was an old immortal who was on par with the Queen Mother of the West. If he helped, he could help them get rid of this disaster.
She then told him everything she knew.
It turned out that this place was originally under the protection of the Queen Mother of the West. There were no men in the country. With the protection of the Queen Mother of the West, the weather was good and there were no disasters. However, a few days ago, they lost contact with the surrounding tribes. The Queen sent people to check, but when the envoys returned, they all died mysteriously.
Then, a strange phenomenon started to appear in the country. Many people disappeared mysteriously. Occasionally, their bodies were found, but they died in a horrible way.
Until a few days ago, a warrior of the Womanland, a shrew named Liu Hedong, was found dead in her house. The Queen dreamt of Liu Hedong's lonely soul and said that she was killed by a malicious ghost in her dream. After she died, she immediately turned into a vengeful spirit. Only then did she see the ghost that killed her. It was a man from the Guifang Tribe.
Liu Hedong immediately shouted, "How dare a man bully a female tiger!"
She tore that malicious ghost apart! She ate him alive … After that, she patrolled the Womanland and realized that there were many malicious ghosts causing trouble in the country. The City God and the Earth God's domain was strange, causing her to be afraid and not dare to get close. Liu Hedong then patrolled the Queen Mother of the West at night. When she saw malicious ghosts, she ate them alive. Those malicious ghosts were not as ruthless as her and were actually scared away.
Only then did she protect the peace of the Womanland!
When the Queen of Womanland heard Liu Hedong's report, she knew the inside story and asked in fear, "Now that the City God and the Earth God are not responding and the Queen Mother of the West is not investigating, there are malicious ghosts causing trouble. What should we do?"
Liu Hedong immediately laughed and said, "Ghosts have no guts!"
"Humans can't control ghosts, but ghosts can control ghosts. Now that the immortals and gods are not here, if ghosts cause trouble, only death awaits. However, there are those who are as timid as a chicken, and those who are heroic. Timidity leads to weakness of Qi, weakness of Qi leads to instability of soul, and instability of soul leads to death as a little ghost. If you bravely face death, you will be a hero in life and a hero in death. As a great ghost, you will be able to take revenge with your own hands and eat the evil ghost alive. In this way, the ghost will be afraid of humans and won't dare to harm you! "
"Secondly, there are virtuous and unvirtuous people, and there are evil spirits among ghosts. A warrior should die to protect his neighbors. The Queen can issue an edict to send people to search for generous men in the country and invite them to patrol the four directions to fight against the evil spirits. Such heroes will not dare to offend the evil spirits when they are still alive. After death, they will become Heroic Ghosts and can defend our country with me! "
When the Queen heard Liu Hedong's advice, she felt that it was very reasonable, so she announced it to the whole country. She even conferred Liu Hedong the title of Ghost King Protector of the State. Because the people of the Western Mother Kingdom disliked this title, they deeply felt Liu Hedong's kindness and respected her for her shrewish personality. They called her Celestial Master Liu, also known as Celestial Master Liu, the Country Protector Shrew Liu. From then on, everyone in the Western Mother Kingdom knew that one should not be timid when fighting against ghosts. Thus, the evil ghosts gradually came under control.
The evil spirit was afraid that if it killed the person, the ghost of the person would take revenge. It also wanted to harm people very much, so it used all kinds of tricks to scare people until they lost their minds. Only then would it be willing to kill the person. Over the past few days, the old woman had seen many strange things caused by evil spirits, such as carrying coffins around at night and suddenly turning the water in the vat red. Because people were powerless in front of evil spirits, they could only rely on their courage, and sometimes people were killed by evil spirits.
