If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 132 What a Lively Night

Duan Yuhan didn't expect Xiaoyu to say that. He was stunned and murmured, "Of course, as the city god, I must enforce the law impartially and protect the people of this place, but Miss Yu..."

Xiao Yu waved his hand and said, “I understand how much authority and influence a local city god has on the people.

A good City God protects an area and benefits the people, while a bad City God may harm the people.

Whenever I think of the hundreds of thousands or millions of people in Jinyang who suffered unnecessary hardships because of my recommendation, I feel sad and my thoughts are not clear.

If the people of Jinyang are spared from many sufferings and live a peaceful and happy life because I recommended a good person, the joy and pride in my heart will probably be comparable to encountering an immortal.

So you do your duty, not only for yourself, but also to make my life easier, which is the greatest reward for me."

"I understand!"

Duan Yuhan's face became serious and he bowed to Xiaoyu again.

This time Xiao Yu avoided it and said with a smile: “Uncle is always like this, which makes me feel very uncomfortable.

We will say goodbye tonight and I don’t know when we will meet again, so why don’t we just be more natural and carefree.”

After a pause, she took the initiative to ask, "Before Uncle comes to my place, can you settle the affairs of Guangning Mansion? Do you want to see your relatives in a dream?"

Duan Yuhan sighed and said, "No need, there's not much people at home. I have a childhood friend who grew up with me, named 'Sun Desheng'. We are both neighbors and classmates.

The people who killed Guisheng and me were him and my wife.

Not Guisheng’s mother.

Gui Sheng's mother died of illness in her early years, and I married the daughter of Zhu, a shoemaker from Kunde County next door, four years ago.

Zhu was just as the matchmaker had introduced. Not only was she beautiful, she could also compose poetry and couplets. She had a good talent for martial arts and had a beautiful "water-avoiding sword technique".

I had expected her to teach Guisheng literature and martial arts, and to be able to take care of the household.

But she has a beautiful face but a heart of a vicious snake. She actually got together with Sun Desheng behind my back.

Sun Desheng tricked me into taking Guisheng out to do business, and then killed us at Sanchaling. Then he returned to Guangning Prefecture and took over my property and wife. Alas, Zhu colluded with him and first secretly gave my property to Sun Desheng, and then remarried to him openly.

My Duan family wanted to intervene, but we could only save the ancestral home and the sacrificial land."

"Uncle Duan has become the City God now. Go back and file a complaint against her. Can the City God of Guangning Prefecture refuse your respect?" Xiao Yu said angrily.

Duan Yuhan said with a complicated expression: "A few days ago, a ghost named Song from the underworld found Guisheng and me, and I complained to him about my grievances.

Lord Song smiled and said to me that Judge Zhang had already taken care of my affairs, so I didn't need to worry at all.

I asked who Judge Zhang was, and Lord Song said that Judge Zhang was the chief judge of the underworld in Western Shu and the superior of all the city gods in Western Shu.

I went to see Judge Zhang in person.

Judge Zhang was a kind man. He held my hand and comforted me, saying that Sun Desheng and Zhu had been beaten 120 times by the City God of Guangning and would have to wear shackles for half a year.

Within two years, you will surely die of loneliness, illness and hunger, your body will be thrown into the wilderness, and in your next life you will become a pig, dog or beast."

There wasn't much joy of revenge on his face, only a hint of reluctance and confusion.

"Father." Guisheng touched Duan Yuhan gently, then pointed behind him.

Duan Yuhan glanced back and sighed, “Miss Yu, although it’s still early in the morning, you have quite a few guests tonight.

Well, many gods have been canonized tonight, and there are other ghosts and gods waiting to see you, so Guisheng and I have to go. If you have the chance, please come to Jinyang, and remember it!"

He called out earnestly, and his figure gradually faded and disappeared.

Before completely dissipating, he and Guisheng bowed to Xiaoyu again.

Before Xiaoyu had time to feel melancholy, a group of "birds of prey" came over from a distance.

There were more than twenty girls, wearing solemn dresses, but they could not hide the worldly air on their bodies.

"Bi Tao pays respect to my benefactor. You have shown me great kindness, despite my humble origins. I will never forget your kindness."

"Thank you for taking pity on my sisters' tragic fate and seeking the position of Yin God for us. We are deeply grateful. Please accept my greeting."

Many of them looked familiar to Xiaoyu.

She could even call out the names of the two leaders: Xiao Jingui and Bitao, two of the top performers in Hongxiufang.

"Sisters, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony, and please do not use words like 'humble concubine' or 'humble'.

I am with you in the church, and you are so despised that you are dragging me down with you, aren't you?"

“We dare not!” The women waved their hands and said hurriedly, “The benefactor is different from us. Without the benefactor, we would be mud in the gutter. Now that we have the benefactor’s mercy, we have become gods that we never dared to imagine in the past.”

Xiao Yu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, no need to be polite with me. If you really want to thank me, just agree to one condition of mine - be a good god in the future, protect the people, and don't use your divine power to do evil."

At this point, Xiao Yu slightly activated the fierce tiger's divine will, and with a bit of murderous tone, he said coldly: "The conferring of gods is only the beginning of your path to the gods, and there is still a long way to go in the future.

I was able to deify you before, and I can also chop you down with one sword now and in the future.

If I learn that you have corrupted morals and oppressed the people, I will not let you go."

"Remember the Benevolent Church!" The girls bowed again, and Bi Tao said sternly, "Our lives were cheap when we were alive, but we have this opportunity after death. It will be hard to come by again in eternity, so we will cherish it even more and never dare to ruin our own fortune."

"Well, never forget what you said today."

Xiaoyu nodded and let them go.

Bi Tao and Jingui were not the last group of ghosts and gods to come and see her.

As soon as the women left, a beam of golden light descended from the sky.

"Xiao Fengxian pays homage to the Lord of the Divine Mace!" This time it was Xiaoyu's turn to kneel down.

Because the visitor was Zhang Lingguan from Taiyi Dao.

The Divine Mace Protector is not alone, there are two ferocious ghosts standing on his left and right.

Not only does he look ferocious, but he is also surrounded by a gray and black aura of resentment.

The momentum was so powerful that Xiaoyu's hair stood on end, and he instinctively activated the ferocious tiger's will to resist.

"Little bitch, give me back my life~~~"

The disheveled female ghost on the left opened her three-inch-long claws and tried to kill Xiaoyu.

"You bastard, you've ruined my path to immortality, you're so cruel~~" The tall man like an iron tower roared with resentment.

"Hey, I am the Spiritual Officer here, how dare you wild gods act so presumptuously!"

Zhang Lingguan shouted angrily, like a grown man beating a three-year-old kid. He picked up the female ghost and squeezed her hard, causing her feces and intestines to fly everywhere.

With his other hand, he raised the magic mace and knocked on the heads of the three male ghosts one by one, "Bang, bang, bang!"

The male ghost's head exploded into a ball of black smoke like a watermelon hit by a Barrett sniper rifle. The four evil ghosts all wailed miserably.

Zhang Lingguan said: "Yu Fengxian, I came to see you tonight for two things. First, as you can see, the four immortals who assassinated Qingsong were deified by you.

They hate you to the core, but you don't have to worry or be afraid of revenge from their family and friends.

I will personally take them to their respective relatives in a moment and ask them not to do anything to you.

If anyone dares to disobey, I will be like this now."

The Divine Mace Guardian raised his right hand, allowing Xiaoyu to see clearly the Fairy Hongfu who was crushed to pieces in his palm.

"Thank you, Taibao, for clearing up the trouble for me." Xiaoyu showed a grateful expression and bowed again.

She wasn't sure if this method could stop those who were seeking revenge on her, but it would definitely be effective.

At least the disciples and relatives of these four people will not do it themselves.

"The second thing is, you just saw the 28 prostitutes in Hongxiufang, whose fates were directly changed by you.

You used the List of Gods to capture the four immortals who assassinated Qingsong. It was a smart and capable move.

The Qin court has acknowledged it and plans to reward you again.

But you used the List of Gods to deify Bitao, Jingui and others without authorization, which is an abuse of power for personal gain and a crime not recognized by the Qin Dynasty.

Fortunately, you made great contributions in the Hongxiufang assassination case, so your merits and demerits offset each other and you are innocent.

Convinced? "

The Qin Dynasty's punishments were as famous as its military merit system.

There is a saying that the military merits earned by the Qin people were all prepared to offset the punishments.

Xiao Yu was not convinced and shouted, "Jin Gui and Bi Tao should not have died tragically. Since they were implicated, it was fate. They were lucky enough to be deified, which was naturally due to chance."

"Nonsense! The assassination was instigated by five Western immortals. Why should the Qin Dynasty pay them back for their chance?

If they feel unwilling and resentful, they should blame the Western immortals and go to the underworld to file a complaint!
Moreover, there were so many dead at the scene, why did you specifically canonize them?
It's all selfishness at work."

Seeing that Xiao Yu was still indignant and was about to say something, the Divine Mace Guardian shouted loudly and squeezed the Fairy Hong Fu, who had already taken human form, hard, squeezing her until her flesh and intestines were all over the place. "The Divine Mace enforces the law, and is upright and unyielding. Are you still not convinced?"

Xiao Yuqiang smiled and said, "I have always been convinced. We were just discussing official business just now."

"I'm busy with official duties and don't have time to chat with you."

The divine mace master shouted in a low voice, "Let's go!"

The four ghosts turned into four black smokes, followed a beam of golden light, and disappeared at the end of the sky.

"When I learn the magic and achieve immortality, I will use the spells to control the gods to torture you severely!"

These days, Xiaoyu has also been asking for information about the Divine Mace Taibao.

Even in the upper state of China, the Divine Mace Taibao only has beliefs and temples in the territory of Taiyi Dao, and not all Qin people know about it.

Thousands of miles away in the Xisha region, no one had ever heard of the name "Master of the Divine Mace".

But Xiaoyu understood the meaning of Taoist Lingguan.

Simply put, it is the Taoist double-flowered red stick.

The main focus of this world is longevity, and the purpose of becoming an immortal is to escape the cycle of reincarnation and live freely and at ease. It is not like the fantasy world of immortals in some novels, where the main focus is combat power. The Golden Elixir will definitely crush the Foundation Establishment, and the Nascent Soul will definitely be stronger than the Golden Elixir.

A high realm does not necessarily mean strong combat power.

Many "professionals" in the immortal way have no combat capability at all, for example, sitting in meditation, praying to the gods, asking the gods to help, and fortune-telling. These activities do not involve combat per se, but they do require great strength to protect the law and the way.

So there came into being Taoist spiritual officials.

Lingguan mainly develops combat power. After death, he exists in the form of a true spirit, enjoys Taoist incense, and is summoned to fight by Taoist disciples using talismans or spells.

Therefore, if Xiao Yuruo also entered Taoism, she did not need to learn too advanced Taoist methods. As long as she obtained the qualifications, she could use talismans to drive the spirit officials.

By that time, she must have often summoned the Divine Mace Guardian to "discuss official business."

"Yu~~Feng~~Xian, Yu~~Feng~~Xian~~~"

After the Divine Mace Taibao left, Xiaoyu thought that tonight's "ghost meeting" would end here.

But just as she returned to the pavilion and had not yet laid down on the bed again, another burst of mournful calls, accompanied by gusts of cold wind, blew into the room.

"Who is it?"

Xiaoyu just felt a little irritated, not scared at all.

"Yu Fengxian, Yu Fengxian~~~"

Two balls of green will-o'-the-wisp flames floated over from the back wall and landed in the yard, complaining to Xiao Yu, "Why don't you make me a god? Why don't you make me a god for those cousins?!"

Xiao Yu hooked her finger at the will-o'-the-wisp and said, "Come closer, let me take a closer look at your distorted face, or just tell me your name and origin. I really can't tell your identity from your screams."

The ghost actually took a few steps closer, and put its distorted old face full of hatred and unwillingness in front of Xiaoyu, only half a meter away from her.

"Uh, are you Senior Sui Yuanzi?" Xiao Yu scratched the back of his head and asked tentatively, "How about you spit out a few puffs of Samadhi True Fire for me to see. I can hardly recognize you just by looking at your face."

"It's me! I am Sui Yuanzi! I am of noble status and I am an immortal worshipper hired by the Prince of Qinghe. Why don't you make me a god?"

Sui Yuanzi actually opened his mouth and spit out a string of green and red flames.

The little finger is thick and the chopsticks are long.

Xiao Yu's expression became strange when he sensed that the "Suiyuanzi's Killing Method" that had been cancelled for a long time had been reactivated.

"Senior Sui Yuanzi, I did confer titles on a group of girls from the Red Sleeves Square, but they were only the lowest-level toilet gods and well gods, which are not worthy of your status!"

"You can appoint me as the City God of Jinyang. I can bear it!" Sui Yuanzi shouted.

——I have to hold back and not chop him with a knife. Although the Samadhi True Fire has deteriorated, it is still a very high-level magical power and it is difficult to encounter it again.

Now that I have finally logged in again, I must not let him die again.

Not only should we not let him die, we should also help him grow if possible.

It is best to specialize in ghost immortals.

In short, the stronger this old ghost is, the greater her gains will be.

Xiao Yu warned himself again and again, and finally dispersed the fierce tiger spirit in the purple mansion, and suppressed the anger rising in his heart.
