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

Chapter 791: Bright Mind, Invulnerable to Ghosts and Gods

After hearing what Gou Jiao said, Luo Shiluan obediently lowered her knees and knelt in front of Xiaoyu, telling her story in a sad voice.

This bastard was not very honest. He made himself sound extremely innocent, like a pure white lotus who was deceived by a poisonous snake.

After telling about how she was deceived and murdered when she was trying to make Yuandan and looking for Xun Peng to make the medicine, she recounted what happened today.

She was originally like a ground-bound ghost, suppressed at the bottom of the lake, unable to leave too far, nor able to harm the Xun family.

But where there is loss there is gain, and her resentment combined with the evil spirit formed an area (ghost realm) in the lake.

Hiding in the domain, she dares to compete with ghosts and gods.

Last night, Xiaoyu used thunder talismans to bombard the lake for more than half an hour before dispelling the ghost domain. This also shows how powerful and difficult the ghost domain is.

In the process of dispelling the ghost realm, Gou Jiao also used the Haoran spirit to awaken Luo Shiluan's reason, helped her stimulate the humanity hidden deep in her heart, and stimulated Luo Shiluan's own Haoran spirit from her humanity.

In other words, Gou Jiao converted the evil ghost Luo Shiluan through the "Art of Righteousness".

This kind of effect was what Xiaoyu hoped to achieve on the ghost soldiers at the mass grave in Fucheng County a few days ago.

Luo Shiluan regained his sanity and freedom and was able to travel anywhere.

She escaped from the Xun family last night and hid in a corner of the underworld. After Xiaoyu left, she would come out to seek revenge on the Xun family.

First of all, the Xun family has its own house god (Black General).

In addition, Mr. Xun invited Taoist Hongyun from outside the city early in the morning.

She couldn't kill the Xun family.

"Let alone the Taoist priests of Hongyun Temple, I can't even defeat the guardian deity of the Xun family. Last night, the Taoist priest used up most of my magic power, and now the old Taoist priest of Hongyun Temple has broken my soul body.

When he escaped from Xun Mansion, he was chopped by the black-faced general and split into two halves.

If I hadn't been so obsessed and unwilling to die, I wouldn't have had the chance to come here and ask for help from you two."

After Luo Shiluan finished speaking, she looked at Xiaoyu pitifully.

Xiao Yu asked, "Have you ever heard of the story of the City God judging the wicked at night?"

Luo Shiluan nodded and said, “I’ve heard of it, but the Xun family is not an ordinary family.

Not to mention that his family is guarded by the Black-Faced God, just based on the Xun family's thousand-year reputation in Hejian, the Yin God would not dare to enter his door. "

In Yingxiang Prefecture outside of China, the common people all knew that Guan Chenghuang was investigating the case of counterfeit silver at night.

In the Chinese land, stories about gods and ghosts rewarding the good and punishing the evil are often circulated among the people.

The Human Emperor's regime was indeed very overbearing. He refused to even worship the Emperor of Heaven and used the Investiture of the Gods to forcibly suppress and incorporate the City God Division of the underworld.

Also, because most of the City Gods of Shenzhou were appointed by the imperial court, the court did not mind the ghosts and gods performing their normal functions.

The common people are afraid of retribution from the underworld, so they do good deeds and dare not commit crimes, which is also beneficial to the rule of the Human Emperor.

Luo Shiluan had not only heard about ghosts and gods, but also knew more than ordinary people. He understood that ghosts and gods always bully the weak and fear the strong, and could not control the Xun family.

Xiao Yu pointed at Gou Jiao and said, "He is not an ordinary person. Let him take you to the City God's blessed land to beat the drum and report the crime to the City God."

"Will it work?" Luo Shiluan's beautiful phoenix eyes were full of anticipation.

But he didn't look at Xiaoyu, but at Gou Jiao.

I don't have the confidence to make friends with him, and I feel a little nervous.

Xiao Yu said: "Just give it a try, we have to go through the normal process first.

Then, we use extraordinary measures, which are justified and cannot be found fault with by anyone.”

Gou Jiao took two steps closer, looking embarrassed, and whispered: "Master, I have never been to the City God's blessed land, and I have never seen the City God."

"What is the highest-ranking official you have ever seen in the world?" Xiao Yu asked.

"I have seen the Human Emperor." Gou Jiao said.

Xiao Yu was shocked. "Your Gou family is so powerful? But your parents died early, and they are forgotten by everyone. They probably didn't leave much influence behind, right?"

Gou Jiao said: "The Emperor of Man rode on a chariot to inspect Shenzhou. When he passed by Julu, I, as a young hero of the county, followed the officials to pay homage to the Emperor of Man.

I didn’t dare to look up, but the majesty of the Emperor will never be forgotten in my life.”

"So you saw it during the Emperor's tour. I thought you had been to the Xianyang Palace."

Xiao Yu glanced at him unhappily, "You've already seen the Emperor of Man, why are you afraid of a mere City God?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I've never experienced it before and I don't know what to do." Gou Jiao said.

"You treat the county god as the county magistrate and the prefectural god as the governor. You should say what you should say and perform what you should perform."

Xiao Yu patted his shoulder and said, "You have practiced the Righteous Qi Sutra, and you also know how to use language and spirit to directly explain the truth.

As long as the truth is on your side, the government can beat you, but the ghosts and gods can never harm you.

As long as you finish speaking your mind, no matter what the result is, you will have no regrets. "

Gou Jiao nodded solemnly, "I understand."

Xiao Yu pointed to a dark building two hundred feet away and said, "Go, that's the City God Temple.

You concentrate, use the 'Righteousness Hall' to illuminate your soul, follow Luo Shiluan, and you will naturally be able to see the County God."

Gou Jiao looked at the City God Temple, then turned back to look at the haystack where he slept, and suddenly realized: Taoist Luobo had already calculated that Luo Shiluan would come to find him tonight, and he was waiting near the City God Temple!
"Miss Luo, let's go!"

Luo Shiluan walked in front, Gou Jiao followed behind, silently practicing "The Art of Righteousness", and the Hall of Righteousness in his mind shone brightly.

His entire consciousness is concentrated in the bright light, which is equivalent to bathing his entire soul in light.

At this moment, my heart was very calm and clear.

Gradually, a thick fog seemed to cover Luo Shiluan.

If Xiaoyu were a mortal, her figure would not be visible at this moment.

Gou met a living person, but he gradually walked into the thick fog and finally disappeared.

Two guests died during the banquet held at the Lakeside Pavilion in the South Courtyard of Xun Mansion last night.

Tonight, the Xun family held a sumptuous banquet at the pavilion in the center of the lake.

The Xun family father and son together entertained the old Taoist priest from Hongyun Temple.

As a Taoist priest who also lives in a Taoist temple, Patriarch Hongyun eats both meat and vegetables. He has a beauty in his right arm, and they drink from leather cups mouth to mouth.

"Alas, I let that bitch escape. She hates me to the core and will never let me go. With the old ancestor here tonight, she may not dare to come back.

But there will always be a time for the ancestor to leave.

What should I do if she hides until the ancestor leaves?
"There is always a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as a thief who can be thieved for a thousand days. If you don't kill the thief completely, you will never be able to prevent him!"

Master Xun sighed and looked expectantly at the old ancestor Hongyun who was flirting with the "house prostitute". "Master, that's the Fairy Qingluan! When she was alive, her cultivation was close to that of a human fairy, and she also practiced the escape method of 'flowing cloud sleeves'. With a flick of her sleeves, she retreated a hundred feet away in an instant.

Now that he is dead and has become a fierce ghost, his whereabouts are even more mysterious and unpredictable, and I can do nothing about it." The old ancestor Hongyun said with a smile.

Xun Yuanwai narrowed his eyes and said, "Old friend Hongyun, tell me the truth. Can you completely defeat her and eliminate the hidden danger for my Xun family?"

The old ancestor Hongyun's smile faded, and he took his arm away from the woman, saying calmly: "Sir, to completely destroy a soul, the karma is so great that I can't bear it.

You should listen to the old Taoist and perform a ritual to send her to the underworld so that she can reincarnate early and settle down early."

Master Xun looked grim and said, "Grandfather, we agreed this morning to solve the problem once and for all."

If they really wanted to perform a ritual, why didn't they leave behind Taoist priest Carrot?
Patriarch Hongyun sighed, “This morning, you told me that Fairy Qingluan created the Demon Realm, killing people and robbing Yang Qi, being extremely cruel and doing all kinds of evil, just like a demon.

This kind of extremely evil, if struck by thunder, even if its soul is destroyed, it is also the will of heaven.

But the Fairy Qingluan whom the Taoist saw this evening was just a little more violent. She was not an evil ghost, but the soul of someone who died unjustly. It would be disastrous if she was killed.

Besides, her fate has not yet ended, and I can’t destroy her.”

Fairy Qingluan, who had become a vengeful ghost, was indeed mysterious and difficult to capture, but he really didn't try his best.

The Xun family gave him a total of three thousand taels of silver, which was not a small amount.

But this little bit of silver is enough to exorcise the devil and save your life.

If he wants to completely destroy a soul, especially the soul of the victim, he has to pay more! And it’s not just an ordinary increase, it has to be at least ten times!
Xun Yuanwai frowned and said, "My old friend, what you mean is that Taoist Luobo has ruined our plan?

If we don't clear the underwater ghost area, will my friend be able to do whatever he wants and directly destroy Luo Shiluan's soul?"

Patriarch Hongyun pondered and said, "Taoist Luobo does have some skills. He almost completely saved Fairy Qingluan who had been possessed by a demon.

The devil's sea is boundless, it's time to turn back.

It is easier said than done.

But if you say he has bad intentions, didn't you ask him to clear the underwater ghost area and awaken the spirit of Fairy Qingluan?"

Xun Yuanwai said: "Clearing the underwater ghost area will greatly reduce the strength of that bitch. I think this will be good for exorcism."

"It is indeed a great benefit. If the ghost realm was still there, I would have to spend a lot more effort." said the old ancestor Hongyun.

Xun Yuanwai asked, "If that bitch comes to my house again and again to harm people and bears a heavy debt of blood, can we kill her?"

Patriarch Hongyun said: "If she harms others again, I will definitely not let her go. Whether I can kill her depends on God's will."

Master Xun rolled his eyes, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Luo Shiluan has become a fierce ghost, and it is impossible to save her without great magical powers.

Perhaps the ancestor can suppress it and take it as a ghost slave. Her appearance and temperament are much better than the most beautiful prostitute in Hejian."

Ancestor Hongyun's hand holding the wine glass stopped in mid-air, with an obvious look of excitement on his face.

Mr. Xun gave his son an appreciative look.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo~~" Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew from the lake.

The expressions of the three men changed slightly, and the drunkenness in their eyes disappeared instantly.

"Is it that bitch?" Young Master Xun asked in a low voice.

Ancestor Hongyun listened attentively for a moment and his expression changed again.

"You all get down."

He first waved his hand to drive the attendants and servants around him out of the pavilion, and then extinguished all the oil lamps and candles. He then lifted the windproof curtain and said to the sparsely starlit lake: "Brother Meng Liang, please come in and talk."

"Huhu~~"

A gust of cold wind suddenly rushed into the pavilion and transformed into a six-foot-tall, thin-faced man.

He was dressed in black official attire, like a runner, with a distinct yin aura around him, and his facial features and temperament were also rather cold and eerie.

"Master Hongyun, Mr. Xun, Master Xun, I am honored to meet you."

He greeted the three people and said directly: "Luo Shiluan, who was known as the 'Blue Luan Fairy', went to the county city god's blessed land.

A scholar accompanied her and struck the drum at the gate of the yamen.

Mr. Guo was alarmed and led Pan Sun Wen and Pan Zhang Wu to try Luo Shiluan's case together.

Sun Wenpan has fully reviewed Luo Shiluan's situation.

Mr. Guo also recorded this case in the Book of Life and Death. The cause and effect are established, and the sin has been committed."

"Damn it, that bitch actually——"

Master Xun's face turned pale, but his mind was working flexibly and quickly.

He stamped his feet fiercely and cursed, "We have been fooled by the thief Luobo! According to Luo Shiluan's behavior last night, it is absolutely impossible for us to go to the City God! She is like a madman, and she only knows how to kill people indiscriminately."

Taoist Hongyun said slowly: “Master Xun, whether Luo Shiluan looks for the City God or not, everything witnessed by heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, gods and Buddhas will be recorded in the Book of Life and Death.

But if Luo Shiluan goes directly to the underworld to file a complaint, it will indeed make things very difficult."

Xun asked, "Master Meng, you said that a scholar accompanied Luo Shiluan to the City God's blessed land. Who is the scholar?"

"It was the person who lived in Pingxiang, your Xun family's home, last night." Ghost Messenger Meng Liang said.

"It's indeed those two thieves who are against my Xun family!" Master Xun gritted his teeth.

Xun Yuanwai suppressed his anger, forced a smile on his face, and said, "Master Meng, our Xun family is also considered a prominent family in Hejian County, and our offerings to the City God have always been more than enough.

Are we going to let Luo Shiluan and Gou Sheng mess around and slander this case out of thin air?"

Meng Liang said: "You want to go to the City God's Office in person and confront Luo Shiluan in court?

To be honest with you, Gou Sheng harshly reprimanded Mr. Guo and the other hall leaders in the court and wanted to immediately lock up Mr. Xun and Young Master Xun and send them to the paradise in the underworld!

Mr. Guo almost couldn't bear it.

Fortunately, Judge Zhang was a strong and powerful man who withstood the pressure and defended the official, thus saving him from immediate execution."

Taoist Hongyun was surprised and said, "How could that Pingxiang Gousheng be so powerful? What kind of identity and ability does he have to dare to scold the City God?"

Meng Liang said with lingering fear: "That black-faced scholar has no skills, not even internal strength.

But he actually walked directly into the City God's Office in his physical body, and light shone from all over his body, illuminating an area of ​​ten feet in radius.

At first we ghosts and gods thought it was a god from heaven descending to the mortal world.

When he reveals his identity, we learn that he is just an ordinary scholar, and he wants to control him, arrest Luo Shiluan, and directly put her in the City God Prison.

Unexpectedly, the black-faced scholar glared and shouted sternly, and several brothers at the yamen gate were hit head-on by a galloping horse, and they flew two meters away.

Although Pingxiang Gousheng has no Taoist skills, he is invulnerable to ghosts and gods, and even the City God is afraid of him!"
