The Wutong Ghostly Deity's palace was now in ruins.
This was not only caused by the aftermath of the battle, but also the anger of the freed slaves.
Seeing this, Green Mangzi nodded in satisfaction. "Heh! This Wutong God is a fool. He actually asked me why I attacked him? "
Wu Ming had ordered him to stay in the Black Mountain Ghost Kingdom. However, Lord Kurosan was too powerful. Going against him would be like throwing an egg against a rock.
At this time, it was not wise to avoid the important and focus on the trivial. He should first deal with the local tyrants and accumulate his strength before fighting the Black Mountain Army!
"The art of war is also to avoid the strong and attack the weak. First eat the weak, then fight the strong!"
After Green Mangzi counted his gains, he looked at the remaining souls. There were still more than a hundred of them. The black gas on their bodies had been mostly purified. Their faces were relaxed.
"Mm, you don't have enough resources and can't be reincarnated in one go. However, as long as you remember the scriptures, read them day and night, and persevere, there will be a day!"
Green Mangzi swept his gaze across the group. As he spoke, he came to a group of more than ten people. "You have enough resources and your foundations are strong. Why don't you enter reincarnation?"
"Because we still have hatred!"
These people were strong and valiant. It was obvious that they had good innate foundations. They were captured by the Wutong God and enslaved as ghost soldiers.
At this time, they knelt under the lead of a young man. "We hate the unfairness of the heavens! We hate the injustice of the earth! We hate that the netherworld has turned into purgatory. We have been tortured for hundreds of years! If we don't vent our anger, our hearts won't be clear. How can we enter reincarnation? Lord, please accept us and take revenge on the Black Mountain Ghost Kingdom! "
"Revenge! Revenge! "
The dozen or so people at the back all shouted loudly, their eyes blazing with flames.
"If that's the case, you will follow the army and be a servant. Promote according to the situation!"
Green Mangzi was secretly happy, but he maintained a dignified expression. He waved his hand and the ghost soldiers brought more than ten horses over.
"I am willing to die for Lord!"
The young man kowtowed without hesitation and said loudly.
"Good!"
Green Mangzi turned his horse around and laughed. He pointed his horsewhip. "The Black Mountain God is tyrannical and the City God is useless. Only I, the Lord of Black Water, am merciful and willing to save the souls! Children, follow me to the next place! "
"Yes, sir!"
The cavalry, which had expanded once again, shouted. The men and horses were like dragons, stirring up smoke and dust. In an instant, they disappeared without a trace.
"Everyone, we have obtained this opportunity, so we cannot forget our roots. Everyone, leave and spread this precious scripture according to that great one's wishes!"
Among the remaining living souls, an old man walked out. He seemed to have some status. He said loudly, "Although we have obtained the opportunity, the millions of souls in the Black Mountain Ghost Kingdom are still waiting for the sweet dew …"
…
"Eh?"
Wu Ming naturally did not know what had happened in the Underworld, but he looked at the Earth Imperial Decree in surprise.
Just a moment ago, a large amount of green gas descended, causing the Earth Imperial Edict to tremble incessantly. A wisp of red appeared in the center of the Earth Imperial Edict. This was the sign of a Divine Position Advancement.
"Looks like … Qing Mangzi, Huang Weiqing, and the others are really doing quite well in the Netherworld?"
He rubbed his chin, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes. "The merit obtained is so abundant? Even I have indirectly obtained many benefits. This Earth Deity Position has the possibility of advancement … Tsk tsk … If this continues, the future will be limitless … Unfortunately … I don't cultivate the Path of Godhood, so I won't be able to obtain the greatest benefit … "
However, if this Deity Position was obtained by a local God, it would be an incredible opportunity.
"If that's the case … the previous Dragon Aura cleansing has broken one of the restrictions, and thus brought about unlimited possibilities …"
Wu Ming looked at the Earth Imperial Edict that was becoming more and more mystical. He sighed and put it away.
Time waits for no man!
At this moment, Lord Kurosan had already set up the Dharma Realm. A huge conspiracy was about to be launched, and Hei Tai City God could not avoid it. Soon, there would be a battle between the two!
If he was given a few more years, with the mystical power of the Earth Imperial Edict and the endless amount of merit, he might be able to grow into a power that could rival the two. But now, it was too short!
"Taoist Priest Wu Ming!"
As he thought about this, he returned to Yunlong Monastery. He saw an orthodoxy waiting at the door, looking extremely anxious. "The Sect Master invites all of you to participate in the Dharma Assembly. He said that he has already contacted Hei Tai City God and obtained the key to resolving this calamity!"
"Oh? There is such a thing! "
Wu Ming quivered. "I'll go immediately. Lead the way!"
…
Deep into the night.
At this moment, in the Wei Family in the county town.
"Is there something on your mind, Master?"
Wei Shouren returned home and paced for a long time. His brows were tightly furrowed. Even an ordinary servant could see that something was wrong. Madam Wei immediately asked.
"Yes, I've encountered something quite strange today!"
Wei Shouren looked at this madam, and his expression softened slightly.
This madam was a good match for him. After entering the family, she was also virtuous and virtuous. She took care of the family business in an orderly manner and had a good relationship with him. They treated each other with respect and had never blushed.
The husband and wife were harmonious and did not need to worry about the family business. Thus, they had more time to focus on their official career. This was very rare.
Because of this, there was a lucrative position in another county that had recently become vacant. He was an old registrar and had a good reputation. Thus, he had some thoughts about it.
Of course, this was not an easy task. Furthermore, it required a lot of money.
Even though he had used his connections and was the County Magistrate of Heitai County and was in charge of all the secretaries, it was still not enough for Prime Minister Baili.
Thus, he had the idea of selling the family business. However, his reputation would not be good, and he would be suspected of being a prodigal son.
Yet, Wu Ming had bumped into him today. He could not help but have some doubts.
"Oh? What is it? "
Madame Wei was flabbergasted. She poured a cup of green tea and asked curiously.
"This matter …"
Wei Shouren voiced out his doubts. When Madam Wei heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She said, "I have heard of this before. Master, are you afraid that it is a trap by the enemy?"
"This … If it is stolen, we will be held responsible …"
Wei Shouren said.
"If that is the case, this matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later. If someone were to expose us, we would be in a more passive position!" Madam Wei advised.
"That's right!"
Wei Shouren's body trembled. "I never thought that Madam would be the one to make up my mind!"
He immediately walked out of the door. "Wei Fu!"
"Master!"
The housekeeper who went to invite Wu Ming today suddenly walked out and bowed.
"Bring along two strict servants and follow me to the old mansion's garden!"
Wei Shouren gritted his teeth. "Also, be extra careful in the mansion. If you hear anyone gossiping about you, you will be punished by the family law. You will be beaten to death!"
"Yes, master!"
This was the first time the butler heard such a strict tone. He could not help but reply loudly. His pitch was so high that even he was shocked.
The Wei family's mansion was huge. In the beginning, it was just an ordinary house. However, the later generations became rich and bought the surrounding land. They built walls and occupied a large area. The beauty of the garden was not inferior to the houses of the officials. This was something that Wei Shouren had always been proud of.
At this point, he brought his two sons, his wife, and the housekeeper to the old mansion's garden. Noticing that the doorsill was decaying, he couldn't help but caress it and said, "Every time I come here, it reminds me of my ancestors. For the sake of this little foundation, they worked day and night. I heard from my father that the third ancestor was still a child. In order to become an Elementary Scholar, he studied day and night until he vomited blood. And the fourth ancestor, Shan Chu Gong, it was in his hands that our Wei family was able to truly flourish and flourish."
"Master is right. It was not easy for our ancestors to start a business. We cannot let them fail in our hands …"
Madam Wei was in awe as well. "I will go back and prepare the offerings for our ancestors!"
"Mm!"
Wei Shouren turned a few doors and arrived at the East Door. Indeed, there were quite a number of Osmanthus flowers planted there. They were in bud, and their fragrance filled the air.
"This is the place!"
Arriving at the third Osmanthus, Wei Shouren bent down and looked at the color of the soil. Finally, he gritted his teeth and ordered, "Dig!"
"Yes, master!"
The two servants were both burly and strong. Now that they had a hoe and other tools, they started digging without hesitation.
"Master, this soil is old. No one has dug it recently …"
The butler was meticulous. He went forward to identify the color of the soil and looked at the surrounding terrain.
The hoe dug quickly. Soon, two mounds of soil were piled up. Wei Shouren laughed and said, "Madam, it seems like the Daoist today was just joking with us …"
"Bang!"
"I got it!"
Who knew that after two more swings, the hoe hit something and made a crisp sound.
"What is it?"
Madam Wei held onto her handkerchief and asked nervously.
"Master, it's two jars!"
One of the servants said.
"Bring it up!"
Wei Shouren hurriedly said. After a while, two more jars appeared on the flat ground. One was big and one was small. The yellow soil on the surface was mottled and it was obvious that they had been there for a long time.
"Open it and take a look!"
Wei Shouren did not have to do this kind of rough work himself. The butler, Wei Fu, immediately went forward and opened the mud seal. He immediately exclaimed, "Master, it's silver!"
"Eh?"
Wang Shouren went forward and saw that the bigger jar was shining with silver light. It was filled with silver ingots. Each ingot was worth ten taels. This jar contained at least a few thousand taels of silver.
At this time, he calmed down and was surprised, "Could it be stolen goods?"
He hurriedly said, "Open the other one!"
This time, the butler hurriedly opened the mud seal and exclaimed, "Master, there's something!"
He took out a book. It was wrapped in waterproof kraft paper and sealed with a layer of wax. Even so, after opening it layer by layer, the writing inside was still mottled.
But when Wei Shouren saw the words, his hands trembled and he almost cried, "This is indeed the writing of the fourth generation ancestor, Shan Chu Gong. I didn't expect him to have such foresight …"
Wiping the corner of his eyes, Wei Shouren shouted, "Move this big jar to the treasury. Thank you for your hard work. Each of you go to the accountant and get ten taels of silver! Do you remember the rules? "
"Thank you master! Of course we know. We won't say anything! "
The few of them said solemnly.
