She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 8: The Unlucky Girl Xie Lian

Tonight is destined not to be a peaceful night.

Xiaoning County is just a poor county with no more than 10,000 people and is located in a remote area.

To avoid the disaster, most people went to bed early. Those who did not sleep closed their doors and dared not go out.

Little did they know that the big shot in the county, Zhuang Mochen, had resigned and returned to his hometown, and they were even less aware that an unlucky girl had accidentally stumbled into the evil spirit's lair.

But that's not all that happened tonight.

In front of a temple thirty miles away from Xiaoning County, a few gusts of cold wind suddenly blew, and several men in dark black robes appeared out of nowhere.

These people exuded an extremely majestic aura, with dark and solemn faces, and could not be looked at casually.

Behind them, hundreds of people appeared one after another.

But if you look closely, you can see that they are all holding iron chains, iron rulers, iron swords and other weapons.

Wearing black police uniform and official boots.

The appearance of this group of people immediately caused the wind to howl in the area. If there were any living creatures here, they would surely retreat instinctively.

This group of people look ferocious, but they are actually not villains. If there is someone who knows the business here, he can recognize at a glance that the two black-faced men standing and talking in front are wearing the official uniforms of the City God, and they are real gods. Accompanying them are characters such as the Judge and the Chief, who are also orthodox Yin gods.

Those who hold weapons are Yin messengers, and every time they take action, Yin energy surges.

"Lord Wang, are you sure that if we work together, we can take down the evil ghost in Xiaoning County?"

A city god spoke, with strong doubt in his voice.

"Master Huang, to be honest, I am not completely sure!"

Another City God spoke, seeming somewhat guilty.

"What? This is not the same as what you said before!"

The City God who spoke first showed an angry look.

"You are the City God of Xiaoning County, and I am the City God of Changxing County. The two counties are seventy miles apart, so there should be no intersection between you and me."

"But you are the City God, but the evil ghosts broke into the City God's Mansion, drove the orthodox Yin God out of the county, and occupied the entire county."

"This kind of thing should be shameful to talk about. Because we are both righteous gods, I planned to send troops to help you take back Xiaoning County, but you actually concealed it!"

As a righteous god, the City God of Xiaoning County does not sweat, but at this moment he clearly gives people the feeling of sweating like rain, and he hurriedly explained.

"Master Huang, I have absolutely no intention of hiding anything, but things have changed. Please listen to my explanation."

The City God of Changxing County snorted coldly and motioned for him to speak.

"At first, I didn't take the evil ghost seriously. I just sent the underworld to capture it to prevent it from harming people. But I never thought that the evil ghost would get away. I just thought he had escaped from Xiaoning County and let it go for the time being."

"But who could have thought that this evil ghost was so bold as to hide in the county town."

"I don't know how, in just a few months, he became powerful and took advantage of the opportunity to attack and break into the City God's Mansion. My civil and military judges were all devoured by him!"

The City God of Xiaoning County had a bitter look on his face, but he gritted his teeth when he said this. "This is a great shame. As a righteous god, I was driven out of my territory by the evil ghost. I have no intention of making any judgment on this matter. I asked Mr. Huang to borrow troops, but it was only a helpless act. I lost my position as a god, but I can't let the people fall under the butcher knife of the evil ghost..."

"According to my initial calculations, if we work together, we should be able to capture that evil ghost."

"But yesterday, I concealed my aura and went back to Xiaoning County to investigate. I discovered a big secret. It turned out that there was a deep hidden Yin Vein in the county. An old locust tree was rooted in the Yin Vein. Normally, no one could find it, but the evil ghost must have wanted to escape the pursuit, so he lived in the locust tree in a panic...but he never thought that he would get such a great opportunity! He actually relied on absorbing the power of the Yin Vein to become a powerful person in just a few months! And the reason why he wanted to break into the City God's Mansion was to seize my City God's Seal!"

Upon hearing this, the expression of the City God of Changxing County gradually became solemn.

"The City God Seal can double the absorption of Yin Meridian's power. After he got this seal, I'm afraid the power he absorbed in the past few days has exceeded the total power of the previous few months... So, even if you and I work together, we may not be able to defeat him!"

"It's a disaster, it's a disaster, is Xiaoning County really going to raise a demon?"

"Lord Wang, do you know that you have caused a huge disaster?"

The City God of Xiaoning County sighed and said.

"How could I not know this? But now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to face it... Lord Huang, I know you find this matter difficult and perhaps have the intention to retreat. If that is the case, I will not blame you at all. This is the cause of all the trouble. As the City God of Xiaoning County, I have to put an end to this matter. Even if I am defeated and die at the hands of the evil spirit, I will not complain at all."

"But I still dare to ask Master Huang to take a chance with me. As the righteous gods of a place, we can lose our thrones and bodies, but we cannot watch tens of thousands of people die in vain."

"This may be our only chance to defeat the evil ghost. If we delay for a few more days, I'm afraid we won't have any chance of taking him down!"

The City God of Changxing County thought for a while, his expression changed again and again, and finally he made a decision.

"You don't need to say anything more. This god is willing to help you with this matter. Although you and I are separated by two counties, we are both city gods. We both have the feeling of caring for the people... Moreover, this evil ghost is extremely threatening. If this god does nothing, after he has done harm to Xiaoning County, I am afraid that the next target will be Changxing County. This god understands the principle of lips and teeth being cold, so send troops immediately. If we really die in battle, that is our destiny. As the honor of the righteous god, we should naturally shoulder the responsibility of the righteous god!"

The two city gods looked at each other and saw each other's determination.

They didn't say much, but rolled up their bodies and gathered into a gust of cold wind, rushing towards Xiaoning County.

……

In Xiaoning County.

"What? Is there really an evil spirit here?"

After hearing what the village elder said, Zhuang Mochen was stunned.

This is completely different from what he thought.

"Yes, this matter was told to us by the City God in a dream. All the people in the city know it. The City God said that the evil ghost is busy practicing and will not harm people for the time being. We must not anger him."

"Every household hangs white lanterns to calm their hearts. This is a temporary measure. When the City God returns with his troops, he can deal with the evil spirit. Then the crisis will naturally be resolved."

"The City God also said that we must not go out at night to avoid any accidents, especially your old house, which is a real forbidden area. The evil ghost lives in the old locust tree in the yard..."

The village elder finished his speech.

Zhuang Mochen's face was already pale. He no longer cared about the danger outside. He turned around, opened the door and rushed out.

"It's bad. Zhuang has made a big mistake and pushed his friend into the fire pit! Mr. Xie... you must not get hurt!"
