Chapter 82 Riding on Smoke
[Nuo Masks and Community Fireworks]

[Land Staff]
[Yin Yang Soul-Calling Lantern]

[Popularity Book]

These magical weapons were all already available before, Song Wuji just collected them.

However, after the death of the Land and the Dream Demon, the stove fire still refined their extraordinary properties and extracted some materials.

[Peace Incense]*10
With the power of vows, misfortune can be turned into fortune.

[Talent. Clay Dog]

[Talisman. Porcelain Chicken]

These two things were dropped by the land and can be used to set up formations. They have similar effects to stone turtles. I think the land god relies on these two things to make the sounds of chickens and dogs bark in the secret realm, awaken the souls of the living, and break nightmares.

[Magic weapon. Smoke and dust escape]
Collecting smoke and weaving clouds, blending in with the light and dust.

This is a kind of escape technique cultivated by the land itself, and now it has become a magic weapon. It collects cooking smoke and lifts it up to the sky. However, it does not fly high, only three feet away from the roof of the house. It also does not fly far, only two or three miles away, and there are only four or five smoke-filled villages.

But for Song Wuji, it is a very good functional magic weapon. It can travel two or three miles and saves time.

In fact, the land lord doesn’t have anything.

The things refined by the Dream Soul Demon are more mysterious.

[Huangliang Pillow]

Every dream must eventually end.

If you fall asleep while cooking millet porridge, you can enter the dream world.

The dream world should be quite dangerous. Don’t go in there casually, especially in today’s chaotic world with demons and monsters. Who knows what will be born in the dream world.

However, the Yellow Millet Dream is a story about Lu Dongbin's enlightenment on how to become an immortal. In his dream, Lu Sheng experienced wealth and glory, twists and turns, and finally chose to give up fame and fortune and retire to the mountains.

I don’t know if it is related to this story, but a new secret realm has appeared.

[Dream Soul Stone]*20
[Wish Talisman]

[Original Demonic Energy. Low Grade]*10
[Dream Soul Demon Inner Pill]

Nothing else is worth mentioning, except the small wishing talisman, which made Song Wuji look at it with higher regard.

The talisman of vows: to reverse dreams, to refine the false and cultivate the true, to make wishes, to swear vows, to sow causes and reap results.

Holding the child, Song Wuji rode on his magic weapon, smoke and dust, and rushed to the charity cemetery to see if the disabled soldiers were still there and whether they wanted to go back with him.

However, around the charity cemetery, houses have been built and shrubs and small demons have been planted for protection.

When Song Wuji went forward to ask, he found out that he had been missing for two days. They thought that Song Wuji had been murdered.

Song Wuji had no choice but to use the smoke and dust escape again. He went two or three miles after the first one, four or five miles after the second one, and six or seven miles after the third one. He just arrived outside Taichang County.

Although this Smoke Escape looks very bad, its mana consumption is relatively low, and its speed is as fast as the full speed of an electric scooter. Apart from the short battery life, it has no other shortcomings. It would be great if there was a way to upgrade it in the future.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw Song Wuji "driving on the smoke", they thought it was a monster. The city was filled with thick smoke and they couldn't see anyone.

He quickly called Lu Han, who was observing the weather at the city gate and couldn't tell what was going on.

The smoke and dust escape is achieved by refining the smoke from a cooking stove.

They were waiting until they got closer and were planning to shoot with crossbows, but they saw it was Song Wuji, holding a child.

what happened?

Everyone is still walking on the ground, how come you can fly?

There was something wrong with the way Lu Han looked at Song Wuji. Song Wuji wanted to enter the city, but he had to wait. After all, he had been missing for two days. If he reappeared, who knew if he was possessed by a demon?

However, after checking, he found that Song Wuji was not a fake. Lu Han was not polite: "You said you were going to check the charity cemetery, but you disappeared alone. There are not many ninth-grade masters in the city now. I thought you were assassinated by a demon."

"Luckily, the kitchen fire in the kitchen suddenly became very strong, and everyone lit the kitchen fire for you..."

Song Wuji said gratefully, "Thanks for their support. I broke into a secret realm that was eerie and terrifying, haunted by evil spirits. If it weren't for the Kitchen God walking and gathering firewood to help me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get out."

"Who is this child?" Lu Han naturally saw the baby in Song Wuji's arms.

Song Wuji couldn't explain too much in such a crowded place, so he said, "Take me to see the county magistrate."

Lu Han nodded, and then led Song Wuji to the county government office.

Song Wuji watched as two days passed. The city became more and more prosperous, and the people were more energetic and spirited than before. People on the streets talked about going out of the city to hunt little monsters, or the progress of their martial arts training. Although there were also discussions about the incense of the City God, there were few people complaining about themselves.

When he saw Tian Chengbi, Song Wuji was shocked. Tian Chengbi's hair had turned a little white, and the wrinkles on his eyebrows had turned into vertical knife-like lines.

Seeing Song Wuji, he relaxed a little. Without asking anything else, he just said, "I'm glad you're back safely. I'm glad you're back safely."

Song Wuji asked curiously, "The county magistrate frowned, what happened?"

"The tiger demon has completed its gathering and is now negotiating with the Luohu python. If the deal is successful, they will attack the city soon."

"The most important thing is that I only learned this news from the City God County Earl."

Song Wuji was startled and whispered, "How did the City God know?"

"Then I don't know, and I can't make random guesses."

Tian Chengbi rubbed his brows and said, "If only by following the City God can the people of the city survive and fight against the demons, I am willing to give him power, but the City God..."

Song Wuji quickly said, "No! The City God cannot be trusted!" But he quickly took out the secret realm token and said, "I gained something from this trip out of the city. I broke through a secret realm and discovered that not only demons have secret realms, but gods also have secret realms. They are just not in the world of the living, but probably in the underworld."

When the county magistrate saw the secret realm token, he suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders loosened, and his body, which had been suffocating from the pressure, finally breathed in two breaths.

"The City God...is the lord of the Shinto realm, responsible for protecting the people. However, his duties are within the city, so it doesn't matter who the people are."

Song Wuji recounted the soul-lost people, ghost soldiers... and dream demons he encountered in the secret realm.

"Just like the tiger demon ruled over the ghosts and made them the people, the dream demon ruled over the soulless people and made them the people, and the nightmare demon ruled over the people. Once the city god takes full control, will the ghosts also be the people?"

Tian Chengbi said, "I used to think so too. Putting hope in ghosts and gods is no different from imagining that demons will have good intentions. But there is really no other way..."

"No, you have a chance here."

Song Wuji pointed at the baby in his arms and said, "The land master said that the torch should be passed on from one generation to the next, from night to day. Only when you are alive can there be hope. Leave an example for your descendants."

"In the fight against demons, sacrifices can be made and blood can be shed. The same is true for the fight against gods and Buddhas."

Tian Chengbi said, "Okay! With your words, I won't compromise!"

Song Wuji finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the county magistrate really compromised with the City God, he would have to be a lone wolf, wandering in the suburbs without any support, and all his efforts to pass on the fire and collect firewood would be in vain.

Song Wuji took out some magical tools and asked the county magistrate to pick out some useful ones.

The county magistrate took out the drum and the register of residents and said, "These two will do. The drum can rally the people and boost their morale, and the register of residents can be used to record the residents' household registration. This will be in line with the household registration order, and the county clerk can use it to archive it."

"Don't you want the Land Staff, the Land Nuo Mask, and the Yin-Yang Soul-Calling Lamp?"

The county magistrate shook his head: "Perhaps the City God would like it, but Chen Xiu, Lu Han, and I have no use for it."

Indeed, the county magistrate is a Legalist who follows the way of laws and orders. Chen Xiu follows the way of martial arts, while Lu Han follows the way of literature. None of these are appropriate.
