Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 480 Cooperating with each other, feeding each other

Wei Junrui didn't understand the specific meaning of the word 'wait,' but since the director had already given that instruction, he didn't say anything more.

The three-person team then continued their pursuit.

Along the way, they would occasionally encounter other teams. In such cases, the later teams would have to distance themselves from the teams already following Yaksha and continue on their way forward or in other directions.

They then waited in ambush for the Yakshas to pass through the area they were guarding before following them.

This was done to prevent too many agents from gathering around Yaksha.

There are only three Yakshas; if they all surrounded them, it would be too much of a fuss.

That's why this method came about.

Wei Junrui and his group followed him quite often at first, but as the specialists got their positions, his chances of following Yaksha became smaller.

Half an hour later, Wei Junrui's three-person team, on the other side of the city, finally caught up with the arriving Yaksha once again.

By this time, there were many black cocoons behind the three yakshas. Almost every yaksha had a huge black sphere with a diameter of four or five meters behind it, composed of many black cocoons.

From a distance, the three yakshas look more like spiders!
Just as Wei Junrui and his two companions were watching the Yaksha approach and preparing to follow, they were suddenly surprised to find one of the three Yakshas heading in their direction.

Wei Junrui's first reaction was to look at Bai Bowen, but Bai Bowen did not activate his Qi and blood power at all.

Then, Wei Junrui seemed to remember something and looked at the residential area behind him.

Perhaps, this Yaksha's target is not them!

As soon as Yaksha strode over the community wall with his eight long legs, Wei Junrui said "Follow me" and jumped in.

Chen Xin and Bai Bowen followed closely behind.

The residential complex is relatively new, with each building having more than twenty floors.

From a distance, Wei Junrui and his two companions saw a large spider climbing up the outer wall of a building.

Its enormous rear end swayed and bumped against the wall, causing most of the residents in the building to turn on their lights.

Some people peeked out, while others woke up and started running downstairs.

Those who ran downstairs were fine, but those who poked their heads out were terrified and screamed.

The screams that rose and fell caused the lights in the surrounding buildings to turn on, and more and more people opened their windows and saw the demon that had stopped on the twentieth floor and broken the window.

The shouts grew even louder.

But since they weren't upstairs, many of the bolder ones had already taken out their phones and started recording videos.

Those who understand traffic have even started live streaming.

Just then, Yaksha pulled out a family of three and a family photo from the apartment on the 20th floor.

Anyone could see the illusory bodies and grotesque faces of that family of three.

The black liquid spread along the spider's legs, covering the family of three, compressing them into a black sphere, and then throwing it onto the large, drooping tail behind them.

Then, the Yaksha, supporting itself with its eight spider legs, looked around.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, with a simple press and push from the eight legs, the entire Yaksha's body quickly fell onto the road outside the residential area.

The spider's legs landed silently, but its enormous tail behind it slammed into the ground with a loud thud, creating a crater.

This scene was witnessed by everyone.

Many people turned their attention to the spot where Yaksha had disappeared, while others noticed a larger line of black text on the wall on the twentieth floor opposite.

"When the Yaksha (demons) patrol, all evil spirits vanish."

As soon as someone pressed their phone against it, they saw the line of text begin to vanish in the wind.

Wei Junrui watched this scene without paying any attention.

He knew that if the bureau wanted to, they wouldn't be able to see anything when they woke up the next morning.

Immediately, he led Chen Xin and Bai Bowen on their way.

……

Time flies by.

The Yaksha left Mubei City in less than an hour this time, because the evil spirits had been cleared away during the parade three days ago, so this parade was much faster.

That night, the cities where the Yaksha had previously appeared also welcomed three Yaksha, and the specialists all saw the line of text left by the Yaksha.

This time, however, the Yaksha finished its tour and left the mortal world before the sun rose.

To Wei Junrui's surprise, when he and Chen Xin returned to their base, he had just sat down when he heard someone say, "Yasha is online."

At first, he didn't realize what was happening, but when he saw someone holding a mobile phone, he realized that this 'net' wasn't a 'net' woven by a demon, but rather the internet!

He immediately took out his phone and opened a short video platform.

As expected, after scrolling through less than ten videos, a video of the neighborhood from last night appeared.

Why didn't the bureau ban it?

When the Yaksha appeared last time, many videos about the Yaksha were banned, leaving only some posts without pictures or evidence online for others to discuss.

After all, there has been a lot of discussion about ghosts and spirits online, so one more Yaksha wouldn't make a difference.

But why release the video this time?

As Wei Junrui watched the video, he saw Yaksha grasp the air and wrap it into a ball, lost in thought.

What exactly is the bureau waiting for?
……

Wei Junrui had doubts, and Chen Xin, who was working at his desk in the information processing department, also had doubts.

The message left by the Yaksha was a task he issued to the Yakshas.

Logically, shouldn't the Bureau of Polling prohibit the promotion of Yaksha as a 'messenger of justice'?
But this time, not only was it not banned, but the video of Yaksha was even leaked.

What is the Bureau of Polling really thinking?
Could it be that they don't care at all about the underworld interfering in the mortal world?
If that's the case, then all his efforts would have been in vain.

If the Great Xia doesn't mind, then how can the Underworld make concessions to negotiate with the other party?
For a moment, Chen Xin also fell silent.

"Let's see what the Great Xia thinks. The Bureau of Investigation will definitely find out later, and then they will naturally contact the Underworld."

As Chen Xin watched the video of the Yaksha, a possibility suddenly occurred to him.

"Could it be because of the Yaksha's appearance?"

Chen Xin immediately opened the comment section of the video.

Sure enough, a huge number of people, aside from exclaiming "Holy crap!", didn't think that Yaksha was a "savior"!
More often than not, people see the Yaksha as some kind of monster!

"I see. Because of the appearance of the Yaksha, the Great Xia is not afraid that the appearance of the Yaksha will cause the underworld to interfere with the mortal world."

"Perhaps, if we let Yaksha continue like this, apart from those who have been saved by Yaksha, in most people's minds, the underworld may just be a place that accommodates monsters like Yaksha."

"In that case, how could the Great Xia possibly be wary?"

After figuring out the reason, Chen Xin fell into deep thought.

If that's the case, then how can we change people's image and make the Great Xia Dynasty wary of them?

As Chen Xin scrolled through videos and read the comments, one comment suddenly caught his eye.

"Little Vegetable: If you remove the eight legs and that huge belly from this strange thing, would it actually look like a human?"

"Human form?"

Chen Xin's eyes lit up.

Non-my family, its heart must be different!
Since everyone finds it hard to accept Yaksha, let's change to another one!
Chen Xin immediately thought of someone.

The Wandering God of the Day... Xu Zhiheng! Xu Zhiheng not only has a human appearance, but also wields a calamus sword, and was even tried to seduce by Bai Yongnian and his companions as a sword immortal.

Imagine if such a person appeared, vanquishing demons and monsters, and also leaving behind a message.

What would the people of Great Xia think?
Perhaps, the image of Yaksha will be reversed as a result.

The more Chen Xin thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

"So, where did Xu Zhiheng appear?"

Chen Xin quickly decided on a city.

Akiha City, the city where the River Styx first appeared!

Back then, Chen Xin, wielding the Yama-level Changpu Sword, collected the Styx River that had gathered above Qiuye City.

Although it was subsequently suppressed by the polling bureau and could not spread.

However, the memories of the citizens of Qiuye City have not been erased. If Xu Zhiheng wields the Iris Sword and uses its sword energy to slay demons and monsters, the citizens of Qiuye City will definitely transfer their gratitude for being saved to Xu Zhiheng.

After Xu Zhiheng left his message, some of this gratitude would be transferred to Yasha.

Then, we'll issue a special mission to send all ten Yakshas to Akiha City. The citizens of Akiha City will then be the absolute supporters of the Day Travelers and Yakshas.

"If a city has been won over by the underworld, the Great Xia Dynasty will probably take some action."

With that thought in mind, Chen Xin's illusory body began to move.

……

The Bureau of Polls.

After receiving reports from various branch offices, Feng Jin went to a small courtyard within the headquarters.

This small courtyard was originally used by Feng Jin to rest, but after Xia Chuanren arrived, he rested in the office.

The courtyard is small, but it has everything you'd expect: a rockery, a pond, and goldfish to cultivate your mind.

Feng Jin quickly arrived at the pavilion next to the pool.

At that moment, there sat an old man with gray hair and loose skin in the pavilion, holding a thin bamboo stick and resting with his eyes closed.

The thin bamboo is not a fishing rod; it does not have a fishing line attached.

But as the thin bamboo touched the surface of the water with the old man's breathing, goldfish below began to bite the tip of the bamboo.

After the goldfish was pulled halfway out of the water, it finally let go of its mouth and fell back down.

Feng Jin approached but did not disturb the old man. Instead, she sat down in another chair and closed her eyes as well.

Soon, Feng Jin's perspective changed, and she rose to look at the scene before her.

One of the old man's bodies remained seated in the same spot, while the other sat on the water's surface at the tip of the thin bamboo pole.

Unlike the elderly body in the pavilion, the one sitting on the water was a middle-aged man.

Feng Jin only learned later that when the Yin Spirit leaves the body, the Yin Spirit will look the same as the body itself.

Emerging from the shell is like taking a photograph of the spirit, freezing it forever in that moment.

As the Xia family's research on Yin spirits deepens, more and more Yin spirits are now appearing to be young people.

There are almost no Yin spirits like Feng Jin, who have the appearance of a middle-aged person, nowadays.

Only a little over a hundred years ago did the Yin spirits appear to be middle-aged.

Xia Chuanren was a figure from a hundred years ago.

Not only him, but also Xia Chuanshan and Xia Yifu, were both around 100 years old.

Only those who have cultivated their inner spirits for decades can have the ability to contend with the gods of the turbid world.

In the Xia family, the older a person is, the stronger their Yin spirit becomes.

Even if one is left with only one breath and cannot move in bed, the spirit will remain the same and will not diminish due to the aging of the physical body.

Therefore, the Xia family has invested a great deal in medical research!

In particular, research has focused on the Qingnang fruit from Qingnang Mountain.

In this way, the lifespan of the Xia family members can be extended as much as possible, allowing them more time to cultivate.

At that moment, Xia Chuanren had just used the Yin and Yang energies to guide a goldfish onto his bamboo pole.

Even when Feng Jin arrived, Xia Chuanren did not look up.

"Go ahead."

Xia Chuanren's voice came out, but his tone lacked the gentleness of an elder towards a younger person.

Feng Jin didn't care.

He immediately told Xia Chuanren everything that the Yaksha of the underworld had done, as well as the outside world's reaction.

When he heard that most people were hostile to the Yaksha and did not accept him, Xia Chuanren stopped manipulating the Yin and Yang energies.

Sitting on the water, watching the fish swim, Xia Chuanren spoke after a long while: "Next time the Yaksha comes, use a special camera to record the appearance of those ghosts, and clearly film the details of the Yaksha dealing with the ghosts."

"Add some feedback from those who were rescued."

"I remember there's a method called 'internet army' for controlling public opinion. You can arrange for an internet army to steer public opinion towards the Yaksha of the underworld. If any people or groups worship the Yaksha appear, just ignore them."

Feng Jin frowned.

He knew what these actions would lead to.

But he didn't know why the ancestral land was doing this. Could it be that the underworld was really going to interfere with the operation of the mortal world?

Aren't you afraid that your ancestral land will become too powerful and lose its title as the master of Great Xia?

However, Feng Jin didn't ask any of these questions.

Apart from his maternal grandfather and Xia Wuyou, no one else in the Xia family treated him like a member of their own clan.

Even with Xia Wuyou, that attitude wasn't directed at him, but at everyone.

Exiting his Yin Spirit state, Feng Jin watched as the empty bamboo grove was once again used for fishing for goldfish. He then turned and left.

Perhaps, when his Yin spirit reaches the same level as Xia Chuanren, everything will be different.

But how can we achieve that?
On her way back, Feng Jin suddenly recalled what her grandfather had told her: that the Yang attribute bloodline could increase the speed of practicing the Body Strengthening Exercise, and the 'Rising Yang Spirit Fire Basin' in the Underworld that could enhance the Body Strengthening Exercise.

Perhaps I could go to Sanfeng Mountain again and chat with that hiker from Sanfeng Mountain.

……

Soon, Feng Jin's orders were issued to the directors of the public opinion investigation bureaus in the cities where the Yaksha had appeared.

Despite their doubts, the bureau chiefs carried out the orders in secret.

Subsequently, some other voices emerged in the online discussions about Yaksha.

Along with this sound, a group of people who had been saved by the Yaksha stepped forward.

There's even a video circulating online of a wealthy businessman who was saved by a Yaksha building a life-size Yaksha statue in his villa courtyard in just three days!

These changes have led some people to reconsider their previous views on Yaksha.

Meanwhile, on a niche forum called Night Talk Folklore Forum, some posts about Yakshas and Yaksha statues also appeared.
